I THE GREAT FIRE AT CANTON. |
Ext tact ot a tetter trora a young gentle
tleman at Canton, to his father, in Bos
ton, dated November 30. 1822.
•‘My last letter,written in a great Hurry,
B k Jay °r two ,fter lhc fire, gave you
information of that dreadful calamity.—
■After moving from hb|p to ship and from
poat to boat, for a fortnight, - and
jjtoyselt succeeded in getting a snug es
tablishment on shore, 1 say snug, as we
{jChave but one small sleeping room, whirh
during the day, performs the doubla duty
ft office. I cannot exactly say, in the
droids,of the old song, “which serves us
i£or parlour for kitchen and hall,*' as we
v nave, fortunately secured, in another
building, tooms which, though not the
|,i*nost splendid, answer well enough, under
present circumstances, for dining room,
Stc,8cc.
■: The first estimates of damages by the
fire, are now found much short of the
Jruth } you will doubtless see in some of
the newspapers, (a translation of) the of
ficial account of the number of buildings,
Jtarc. Sic destroyed ; it is, however, very
icnonous,aiid is made so, no doubt, inten
tionally, and the estimate of damages
.therein published from interested mo-,
jtives on the part of the Mandarins, whose
V*i®b ii i® fo make the affair appear much
. Sess distressing than it really is. From
the bent authorities we learn that not less
| than 9500 or 10,000 houses, shops, &c.
i ere are laid in ashes, several hundred
Rlives lost, and property amounting to
|£15,000.000 destroyed. Of the latter,
■the British East India Company has lost,
>ay 1,000,000 or 1,200,000, our country
men about 130 to 8130,000, a small por.
| tion of loss falls upon ytlier foreigners
resident here, and the remaining heavy
“ balance upon the Chinese.
It uif.,11.4 k. .. ___
--- ““viiijiv, uii my par*,
to endeavor to give any thing like a just
idea of the scene that presented itself on
the morning of November the 2d, thro’
the day and ensuing night. The fire
. commenced ear'y on the night of the
i about halt or thiee quaiters of «
mile directly bark of our houses. At
that time we felt no alarm for the safety
§4 of our property ; the wind, however, in.
creased gradually during the night. & in
Jthe morning became a hard gale, sending
the flames directly upon ns » at 8 o’clock,
on the morning of the 2d was presented
asf.u as the eye could distinguish, one
vast body of flames. At this moment
: the square in fmnt of the factories was
crowded with people ol every description,,
tongue and colour, Chinese, Persees,
Bengalees, Europeans, Americans, 8cc.
3*c. all striving to preset ve fiom pillage,
the property they had preserved from
their burning dwellings. On the river,
to leeward ol the fire, were seen boats
| at large, drifting and wrapt in flames,
jf and many who had fled to them for re
* fuKe» had only a choice of a fiery or a
watery grave. The scene was, you may
4 well imagine, truly horrible. You may
judge how rapidly the destructive ele
ment progressed, when 1 tell you, that
while our houses were still enveloped in
flarrss, it had reached buildings nearly a
mile io leeward of us.
There had been no rain for a long
time previous to the fire ; the bunding
I destroyed were of a very combustible
\ i nature, and closely connected, and few
i of what were dignified by the name of
B streets, were wider than the general run
S of alleys with us ; you cannot, therefore,
I wonder much at the extent of the evil,
ft more particularly as the Chinese were
I very much dismayed and made very lit
tle exertion to stop it. They said it was’
a Joaa* fiidgeons and the wind was on
Jirc, of course any thing they could do
would avail nothing.
We feel that we have been fortunate,'
when we compare our losses with those
ol many others ; we shall not, however.
escape so cheaply asat first supposed. We
shall feel severely the lo«s of our Facto
ries. We have the satisfaction to know
that ovfr constituents will not loose by the
accident, with the exception of two con
cerns, for whose account we held a par
eol^pl sandal wood, which was destroyed
with the buildings in which it was stored.
The fire look place at a time of the
year when its effects are much more se
rious to foreigners than they would have
been in any other, as the months of No*
| vemher and December, are those m
> which the mast active business* is trans
rt acted, and ships are taking in their re
turn cargoes. To the poorer class of
$ Chineese it is certainty the most unfortu
nate, being just upon the commencement
ct winter. •Work ofliod
1 he American loss, says the Boston
Palladium, must have been very small
hum the amount it is thought they had.
VV e know of two ships from this city,
that landed g.JQ(>,000 at Canton five or
six weeks before the fire—-all of which
’ was got on board again, during the fire,
or after it was over,
I he Chinese boats are said to be very
i k*rge, (containing families^ and are cov«
t cred with mat i.

Extract oj a letter dated Bordeaux,
. March 22.
**Your minister to Spain, Mr. Forsyth,
has arrived here from Madrid. He en
countered constant delay and difficulties
on his route, especially betweeo Bayonne
and this plane, from the want of horses.
The road is said to bo literally covered
with troops oi the invading army, com
manded by dukes, marshals, counts and
generals of eveay degree, all advancing
with confidence or victors, and expecting
or seeming to expecs, o find victims and
not opponents in the Spanish troops;—
They will, however, it reliance can be
placed on the-accounts of those who have
recently traversed Spain, be wofully dis
appointed ; and is perhaps not hazardous
to say thai, of the 100,000 men who are
destined to enter Spain, not S0,000 will
ever re-cross the Pyrennees. Mr. For
syth will etobark with his family, in the
ship Hunter, for Philadelphia.**
VVe learn by the Peruvian, that Mr
Forsyth, our minister to Spain, has enga
ged his passage in the Othello, which
was to leave Bordeaux on the 15th ult.
for this port. [JV. Y. Com. Adv.

LATE FROM ST. SALVADOR.
NSffFOHT, R. t may 12.—Arrived brig
Catharine, Smith, of this port, from St.
Helena, and 30 days from St. Salvador.
Sailed from latter place April 11th, and
! left no American vessels. The Portu.
guese troops continu d in possession of
I Die a°d Die Brazilians of the coun
try ; ihere was no communication what
ever between them. l'he inhabitants of
the city were in great want for fresh pro
visions ; beef an| pork were selling at a
half a dollar per lb. ; fow ls at gS each,
land other articles in proportion; such
! » as the patriotism of the Brazilians, that
not the least article could pass into the
city* A reinforcement arrived from
Lisbon on the 5th April, with 1700 troops
under convoy t»i a fu^atc, making the
whole number of troops there about
4000 ; the Brazilians had upwards ot
8000 men, but w« re in want ot officers.
I he Portuguese squadron at {St Salvador
consisted ol one 74, 3 f i^ates, 6 from £0
to 30 guns, and 7 aimed transports.-—
I he Bijti-h frigates Creole, com. Hard,
and Doris, capt. li aham, were aiso lying
there—All the valuable goods had been
moved oil board the shipping for safety,
but as the rainy season had commenced,
no military operations of consequence
was expected to take place for some time
Provisions were enormously high, and
no sales could be effected only from day
today; their paper currency was at a dis
count of 14 per cent, and gold was
worth idO per cent. A British packet
and a sloop of war had been expected
, f,ora Dio for nearly a month, and it was
supposed they were detained by an em
bargo ; it was also reported, an expedi
tion was Bttmg out theie, under the com
mand of com. Jewett,
Capt. Smith informs, that the Marquis
of Hastings, Gov General oflndia, from
Bengal, arrived at St Helena March 17th
and sailed again on the 25th,for the Med
itenancan. Biig Gen Walker, the new
ly anpointed Governor of St Helena, had
arrived, atjd it was reported that a ton
nage duty of 12 cents per ton, was to be
laid on all foreign vessels.—-Markets
good. ——_
PIRATICAL movements.
An intelligent passenger in the Catha
rine, informs us that a few days before
he sailed, a schooner of 18 guns, and 150
men was ready to sail from Havana ona
-’-^vufiuuaiy IIHCIIUCU as a
respectable pirate. At the Kegla, some
scoundrels even boasted that as commo
dore Porter would be looking out for
them, and probably hang them at the
yard arm they would not spare any A
merican who fell into their hands.
[Charleston Mercury.
Capt. Read, of the Mount Hope, from
Pernandina, Cuba, informs that on the
9th of April, he was informed that a pi
taiical schooner was wailing off the har
bor to attack his brig. He sailed next
day—had 7 muskets and 10 swords,
which he borrowed, with 3 extra men,
and a boat to carry them back. At 11,
a. u». 3 miles from the fort, discovered a
boat of about 8 tons, with SO men on
board. Capt. R. manned his boat with his
men to engage her—-when they fled for
the shore,fc* the men made for the bushes
hen our boat approached within about 20
yards,they rushed out fcc opened a fiie up
on us, wounded one man in the arm, and
several shot passed through the sails and
into the hull—when the boat put back to
the brig, pursued by the-pifate«, but es
caped by great exertions. The brig then
went back to port, htred 23 men with a
launch, 2 swivels and 18 muskets, and
put to see again on the 12th. About 7
miles from the fort, saw a copper bot
tomed schr. of about 50 tons, approach
ing us ; she came within gunshot under
our lee-bow, when we fired a swivel ai
her. She stood ofT, and mada an attempt
to get to windward, but on returning
within musket snot, seeing so many men
on board, she tacked and stood for the
shore. She had about 50 men on board,
and it was thought she stood in for a
reinforcement. \JY. Y. Mer.Adv,
FINK TOBACCO.
Welearnthat Mr. N. Urifith of Mont
gomery county,had a hogshead of Tobac
co inspected yesterday by Mr Roderick
Dorsey at Smith's Tobacco House, which
sold Tor the extraordinary price of forty
one dollars per hundred ! [Balt Amer.
The London Times contains a letter
from Valparaiso* complaining of the bad
state of the market for British manufac
tures, and concludes with this remark :
“The Americans at are enjoying the best
trade in this quarter* under the imme

guns.’* -
Dilapidation on a Large Scale.
The pulling down of the range of
houses on the northerly side of Maiden
Lane, from Pearl street to William st
commenced on Tuesday, and the demoli
tion of twenty three large brick dwel
lings at one time, thirteen of which are
of three stories, presents a very striking
and somewhat curings spectacle. One
large substantial three story brick house
is, we understand, to be removed back in
a body to the distance of fifteen or twenty
feet, by a mechanical contrivance, and
with slate roof and chimneys all sending.
The person undertaking this curious ope
ration is the same who removed and low.
ered from its high situation the large
house called Richmond Hill, without in
juring the chimneys or ceilings. The
widening of this narrow part of Maiden
Lane, according to the plan, will be a
great improvement to the city, and the
adjacent property will be much euhan
ced in value hv the measure.

A YANKEE HORSE.
From the New York National Advocate.
IVa/l-atreet.—A hoax has been plaved
off on one of our knowing friends of Wall
laugh heartily, or be exceedingly angry.
A tight fellow brought into this celebra
ted street a beautiful spotted pony for
sale. The horse resembled a leopard in
the richness and variety of his spots, and
attracted universal attention He was
pnrehased by an honouiahle member of
our board of Brokers, w ho having made
a luekv hit that day, was in go^d spirits,
ard gave a good price for the animal.who
was soon caparisoned, and his nt-w mas
ter, with a whip in hand, cantering him
out on the third avenue, and galfnpped
him bsck. The horse performed ey
ceedingly well, and was io a foam on hi*
return lo the city, when lo, and behold !
as the sweat oozed from hi* flanks and
the pores of his skin, the spots disap
peared, and were washed away. The
horse had been /tainted for the purpose,
to cheat the knowing ones hf Wall-street,
&he stood by the door aftyv the ride in his
original dirty grey 8c yellow "redeemed,
regenerated, and disenthraled.’*
Some fellow from the ‘‘universal yan
kee nation”—a maker of wooden nut
megs, had played off this hoax ; it was
quite‘‘prime hang up;'* but if any of
our board can catch him, we'shall Shave
him clo’-e. *• All’s fair in stocks,” as ou
friend Coleman says,
