It was midnight \ but the dree t9 were fo illuminated that a pin might have been difeerned^ f he impregnated wa ter was no fooner thrown in, than all was darknefs apd frr*cke; the fifc was completely exrmguiftied. \ On an other occafion afterwards, ^rhen the New Suga<f Houf’‘ on fire, the fame applic^ition dmad€, though late a3 in the fom cf cafe, and not until confiderable fors wa^fudHined, aiKfWith lims fuccefsthe lire was fubdued, and much rcmafning.ptO** perty prcfciYcd. The W'Otkmen at this kft place who had taken homt fome of the brok en wood for fuel, were not a little furprized to find that ii would not burn. It had ali, more or lefs, got a dafii of alkaline water. That the public may fee what a fimplc pro* cefs it is, I will mentiou the method adopt ed on thefooccafions. At one end of the Fire Engine a large tub was placed, ii to which all the water was \thrown; and from it, by two men, one oo each fide with buckets, the engine was fup- •plied. To the tub was attached a barrel of fweated American Pot-alh, and put under the charge of one man, v/ho by handfulls continued liberally to throw the. alhes into the water, where they foon difloivcd. ‘ I am obliged to be particular, hoping t h ^ _ and if tiiey fhould be as fuccefsfol, X hope they will make it public. There may be other, and perhaps more .effejS:ua] methods for extinguiihing fire. A good cook maid may, for inftaiicc, tdli ut ‘that common\ fait is applied to » bold fire, when d rdlfig s beef (leak. But I only men tion what I know, and have witnclTed, and which I recommend mofl carncftly ;o be tri ed, until fomethigg better is found out. Its coft little, while the benefit is incalculable *, and to infuse fuccfifs, a barrel of pot-alh, and a tub, ought to be attached every Fke Engine, to be rcad^ on the firft alarm. COMMODORE TEUXTON.

It hat been afferted that the Commodore ha<! refigned kis comm^on in the navy ; this we believe is a miftakc, or at Icafl it was never fo intended on hts part. The Commodore we are well affured, never did return h it cofo- mifion, as it it ufuai when an reltgnf.

We have heard it. ftated, that fome ambiguity in. his letter induced the head of the navy department to fuppofe that his requeft of permiilion to quit a particular fcrvice, 'was an intention to quit the fcrvice generally, - We believe that .the feeretary of the navy, underfiood the words of the Commodore’s letters above {fated, but we fpeak with con fidence when we fay that fuch was not his in- . tenUoR.
