WASHINGTON, Dec. "a, p. M.

The fire which broke out in the Con-
gressional Library this morning, about 7
l-2 o'clock, was frs, discovered by the
walchman; the flames were then al the

open. few buckets of water would have
suppressed the fire, butyery shortly after,
and by the time the alarm had been Civ
en-, the entire library was in flames; il
contained $1,000 volumes; ofthose 20,-
000 in an adjoining room were saved. -
AL. the busts. paintings, and elegant pic
lures were destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000. The roof of the
building is all burned out, and the interior
Of the building was all blackened by the
smoke and flames.
Every passage in the building was
flooded with water, as most Of il had TO
be conveyed in buckets. There were
many thousand persons present. The
dome of the Capitol was in danger, but i,
and the two chambers of Congress were
uniniured. The flames were got under
about IL o'clock, but columns of smoke
are still looming up. l. is not known
whether the fire caught from the fues or
gas lights, or whether il was the work OF
an incendiary.

Two boats crew were afterwards des
patched from our vessels, which went

mankind, lost only Two killed, and sew

deliver US from our enemies" if this is
the way the Americans fight.
After burning the privaleer, Captain
Lloyd made demand of the governor
to deliver up the Americans as prisoners
which was refused. He threatened
TO send 500 men on shore, and take
them by force. The Americans immes
diately retired with their arms to an old
Gothic Convent, knocked away the ad-
joining drawbridge, and determined 10
defend themselves 10 theiast. The cap

men which he said had deserted from
his vessel when in America. The gov

Many houses received much injury
on shore, from the guns of the Carna-
tion. A woman sitting in the fourth sto-

and boy had his arm broken. The
American Consul here has made de-
mand on the Portuguese government for
a hundred thousand dollars, for the pri-
vateer, which our Consul, Mr.. Parkin
thinks Will be paid, and that they will
clam on England. Mr.. Parkin. Mr..
Edward Bayley, and other English gen.
tlemen disapprove of the outrage and

A good Story.

There lived some years ago in Western
virginia, many Dutchmen, and among
them one named Henry Snyder, and there
were likewise two brothers named George
and Jake Fulwiller--they were all rich
and each owned mill. Heny SNYDER
was subject to fits of arrangement, but
they were not Of such a nature as TO rem
der him dangerous to any one. He mere

happened one day that some difficulty
occurred between Henry Snyder and the
fhiwlliers on account Of their mills;
when to be avenged, Henry Snyder took
along with him book in which he re-
corded his judgments.
Having prepared himself, (actiny as
Judge and responding for the accused, he
called George Fulwiler.

Hoaxing Learned Bodies.

The broadest and most laughable attempt
of this kind, which we ever heard of, is
related by the venerable Judge Brecken-
ridge, the elder.
The Judge, it seems, had moral an
tipathy TO philosophical societies, which
was the more remarkable from his being
a scientific and well read man. But he
at length explained the mystery, by sta
ting that he had been rejected by the A.
merican Philosophical society; of which
he was candidate for membership, in
revenge for democratic vote he had Civ
ell in the Legislature Of Pennsy ylvania,
against what was termed the 'sprovince
money" And he resolved 10 be reven-
ged in return. He not only wrote his
satirical work, called Modern Chivalry,
but he palmed off upon that body some
most ridiculous deceptions. Among 9TH
er things, he took his grandmother's fan,
and having ingeniously twisted, gummed
and painted and prepared it, sent it to
the society as the wing Of bat!
Mathew Carey says, 'sit was re-
ceived with due solemnity, and vote OF
thanks was passed to the donor. A. de-
bate arose as to the species Of bat to which
it belonged-and committee of seven
was appointed to ascertain whether it was
the wing of Madagascar or Canada bat.
The committee sat three weeks, and, af-
ter consulting Buffin's Natural History
and Goldsmith's animated Nature, they
reported that it must have belonged TO q
Madagascar bat. Il was pronounced the
greatest curiosity in the Museum, except
a large sheet OF brown paper, which he
hung in the chimney and disguised with
SCOT and dirt, and palmed upon the society
as part of Brahmin's shirt!n

The Preacher and the Lawyer.
Jesse Lee, one of the first Methodist

preachers in New England, was man
who combined unresisting energy and
tenderness OF sensibility with an extra.
ordinary propensity to wit. Mr.. Steph-
ems, in his new work on the "Memori-
ais OF Melhodism," gives the following
specimen of Lees bonhomnie:
! As he was riding on horseback one
day. between Boston and Lynn. he was
oyertaken by two young lawyers, who
knew that he was Methodist preacher,
and were disposed to amuse themselves
somewhat at his expense. Saluting him,
and ranging their horses one on each side
of him. they entered into conversation
something like the following:
First Lawyer.--I believe you are a
preacher, sir!
Lee.-Yes; generally pass for one.
First Lawyer.-You preach very oft.
en-, suppose!
Lee.-Generally every day. frequent
IL twice or more.
Second Lawyer.-How do you find
time to study when you preach SO much!
Lee.-I study when riding, and read
when resting.
First Lawyer.--But you do not write
your sermons!
Lee.-No; not very often.
Second Lawyer.-Do you not often
make mistakes in preaching extemporan-
eouslyi
Lee.--I do, sometimes.
Second Lawyer.--How do you do
then! Do you correct them! Il
Lce.-That depends upon the charac-
ter Of the mistake. was preaching the
other day, and went to quote the text,
"All liars shall have their par. in the lake
that burnelh with fire and brimstone,'
and, by mistake, j said. "All lawyers
shall have their part"
Second Lawyer. intcrrupting him.
Wha, did you do with that! Did you
correct il!
Lee.-O, no, indeed! II was so nearly
lrue, l didn't think it worth while TO cor.
rect it.
"Humph" said one of them. with a
hasty and impatient glance at the other,
81 don't know whether you are more
knave or fool"
."Neither," he quietly replied, turning
a. the same time his mischievous eyes
from one to the other, II believe that
am just between the two!"
Finding tina. they were measuring wi,
with one Of its masters, and excessively
mortified al their discontinue, the knights
of the green bag drove ahead, leaving the
victor to solitude and his own reflections,
