Fx tract of a letter J'tom .\cw Orleans , da Ltd Si/i jtugu*t. " A gentleman from Mexico, i high in the circle of the revolution ists, is now here, on Itf* "way to Washington, wich proposals from the Patriots," to make lull anil im mediate compensation for all the claims of our cltezins and country, on the government of Spain, provi ded the United Stats will acknowl edge the Republic of Mexico. >f ? An easy mode this of getting,//* j/iV*, so long withheld : but what a stig ma will such an arrangement attach . : to old Ca tilian lionuui ? 'The infant" wipes away the reproach of pillage ana injustice from its parent ! This gentleman mentions that an Eng n>h nobleman of talents, has ha I a meeting wich the chiefs, that is the generals, whom he has assured that Great- Britain waits only for the ex ample of the United States to ac knowledge the new Republic ; ail I the merchants and manufacturers of England are pressing that govern ment incessantly to do so, thereby to open a fair and direct trade with that rich portion of the new world, as the only means of relieving their present distress, and pi csei vin;^nd" extending tins lucrative coramci ce. | Russia, as well as the other North- ' I ern powers, it is said, will also ac knowledge- the independence of Mex ico." All this appears to us highly - probable. ? Spain will find too late, 1 that with nations as amongst indi viduals " honesty is the best poli _ ?. ?? cy. ? " As yet we have been as healthy as usual/* Dcm. Press ? New- York> September y 21. FROM PoRT-AU-rUlNCh. The schooner General Jackson* sailed from Jacquemelon the 21st of August.? "Captain Gildea informs 1 us that the day previous* J2 deser? i ters arrived there from Christophers dominions, who reported that his sable majesty was moving with all * his force towards Port-au-Prince, and that he had already reached St. Mark, where he had been joined by a Spanish general with some trifling , force, from the Spanish part of the Island. ? The people of lacquemel were in high spirits* and looked up* on this proceeding of Christophe's as the forerunner ot his total over throw* and entertained strong hope>? that it would be the means ot placing Pction in possession of all the French part of the Island of St. Dimingo. \ Since the above w as in type we have seen captain Rogers, of the schooner Remittance, who stares that no such intelligenc had reached Aux Cayes when he left there, which was about thcflastof August, f m 1 Amusing and timftle <x fieriments in CZaKa- j num. 1* We know not any science, which fur* J rushes more experiments tliAt ure both en tertaining, amusing and useful than Gal* vanism. # Experiment I. Tafce any small Bird, such as a Linnet, whose life ha* been ex tinguished noi more than two hours, place a small piece of silver in its mouth and a small piece of zinc Or gold in its tail. Con nect the two pieces with an iron wire, and the Bird will immediately rise up, and ex pand its wings and Butler round the room as if alive. ' Kxpcrlment 2. Let a person apply a flattened piece of zinc to one of the stir facts of his tongue, and a flattened pitrce of silver to the other surface, without either of the metals touching each other *. but each of them provided with a long iron wire ; and by passing the wires in a parellet direction through a door, behind which they arc brought together and *e p ?rated alternately ; the person who makes the experiment ascertains by the taste he feels on the tongue, the situation of the extremity of each of the wires. Experiment 3d. A phenomenon, which fifteen years ago, would have been oonsi drred a* chi from l he ex fluid* It is nally united as likewise resulted on the ( i alv-inism ? : A nerve, ori^i trral cubic liiu.* oi muscular fiesh, inofcates whe'.her two me tals are hemogeneous or heterogeneous ; and whether they are in a slate of pure re gulus, or in an oxydated siae ? it also points out whether the coferutrcm of a "mi Ti er ral sub^ance de(>ends on charcoal, or an oxydation which has taken place. The living nervous fibre ? i* consequently a liv ing Anthracosco\K*. a means of discover ing charcoal, almost at certain as the ac tion of iron, and thdt of Alkalis. Lxperiment 4th. Porter drank out of a pewter pot or silver pot, placed upon u server of another metal, has a much stronger taste and richer llavoi than when drank without the pot being placed upon a server, if the person who drinks previ r ously moisten* ms hand with ami wa ver ; the strength and tldvov of the Liquid will be incresed. Experiment 5\h. Tea drnnk out of Ch ki Cups with a gold ripi, has a richer flavor than tea drank out of cups without metallic rim. Experiment 6. A Galvanic Pile or ap paratus may be constructed out of ve^e ables When metait cannot be procured ; thus for examples, three hundred slices of ^tteat, a fid the same number of Hogse HaddUh, placed alternately, will form a pile as strong as til\ y pieces of silver ami fitly of zmc. L'.xpt riment 7ih. Another curious and Well established fact connectcd wit.i the theory of Galvanism, is, thai when a fi-^h, instantly after being taken out of the wa ter is killed by a violent blow on the head, by which the skull i* fractured the irrita -btihy arrrt ftexIbitny^oTrhcliniscIes are pre served, much longer than they would have been, if it had been allowed to die with the organs ot sensation in an entire state. So very sensible are the fishermen of this, that they tYaVc recourse to the abovt prac - tice, w ith a view to rentier the fishes they catch, susceptible for a longer time to the operation called crinrvpling. Salmon is one ot the fishes the tenatious of life, inso much that after having been taken out of the water, it will cease, in less than half an hour, to manifest any si^n of vitality, provided it be not exposed o any violence, liut if, on the other hand, it receives as -soon as u is caught, a violent blow on the head the muscles will continue for the space of more than 12 hours to exhibit vi sible signs of irritability.
