These pieces were earned to the frontiers next, lo Tarlary, I he inhabitants coming in crowds, [ near lo the wall, were so frighted at the do- struclion iliey made when they were l'ired, that they fled, and durst not venture to return. In the year 163S, when a persecution was carried oil against the missionary preachers of the gospel, who Iherefort had concealed them- selves Ihemselves for ten years: the Tartars made an irruptioll into the empire. The Mandarians remembering that they hadheani that ihe missionaries understood" Hie arc of making and casting of cannon, besought the Emperor to command one of them to cast some, and in consequence they applied to him The missionary endeavoured to excuse him- self in va-in, and al length they assigned a proper place, and petitioned for an order that father P. Verbiest, might have workmen to instruct in the making and founding of can- non, which he undertook, aud cast 130 pieces of canuon with wonderful success; he after- wards, at the request of (he Emperor, cast 320 pieces. The Eunuchs of the court, jealous, to see a stranger in the good graces of the Emperor, complained of the slowness of the work, and caused the inetal to bestoicii away and as soon as one of the largest guns was finished, before it could he polished in the inside, they thrust a large iron hall into the bore, with great violence, to render it useless, but the father after having loaded it with gun- powder through the touch-hole, fired it off, and the ball was forced out with such a ter. rible noise, that the Emperor hearing it in his palace, was desirous of having it immediately el repeated. When all the cannon were finished they were taken to the mountains, half a day's journey from Pekin, where the Emperor, Nobles, Governors, and principal officers at- tended they were loaded and discharged against such places as the Emperor directed when perceiving that the balls hit the places they were aimed at, he was greatly pleased; and addressing himself to father Verbiest, said the cannons that you made the last year were very serviceable against the rebels, and I am well satisfied with your services," and taking utI his vest and gown, which were very valuable, presented theto to hit!! as a (e,¡¡ti.. mony of his friendship.

We regret, deeply regret to have to acquaint the public of another disaster; iiis Majeslys frig«teJava, of 38 suns has been los* in action with the American frigate Constitution. The Java sailed from Spilhead early in Nt last, for the purpose ofeciiveyiti, L.et,t.-<ii r. Hislop to Bombay. She was met off the coaat of Brazil by the Constitution and after a iu- rious action, in which Captain Lambert, and many of his Officers and men were killed, 8hu was set on fire aii(I blew up. It will be observed by the extract from the New York Paper, which we give below, fnat at least no charge can he made that this ship was undermanned, ill ofticcred, or fought. To the superIOr weiht of metHI or the Constitution, and the enterprise of the Americans, in pushing out on such distant ard unexpected attempts, is to be attributed It ilt melancholy event, melancholy on every ac- count, except that we are glad to say, that no nafioual glory nor personal honour of 0ur Officers and men have been forfeited. We admit, however, that it does seem Fx- traordinary, that with so great a force Olllho American coast, their frigates should have the g-ood fortiiiie of st) frequently sailing from and returning into their own ports, without being met by any of the cruisers on that sla. (ion. Neie-York, February lg. The United States frigate Constitution, Commodore Bainbridgc, arrived at Boston on Monday from a cruise, hdY- ing performed the gallant action %I)icti is detail- ed in the subjoined account, tor which we are indebted to an Officer belonging to the Constitu- tion, who passed through this city yesterday for Washington, and obligingly furnished it to the Editors of the Mercantile Advertiser. We rejoice at every circumstance which adds new laurels to the naval glory of our country, and particularly so when they are gathered with so small a sacrifice of human life, nine men only being killed and 25 wounded on our part. Amongst the former is Lieutenant Aylwin. To the enemy, indeed, the carnage has been dreadful, in the. loss of 60 killed and 101 (or as another account says, 170) wounded, besides the total destruc- tion of the vessel. It is an additional evidence that whenever an opportunity oftqrs in which an American vessel comes in contact wii-h an equal: force of the enemy, our gallant naval heroes will at all times I deserve well of their country On the 29th December, in lat. 13. 6, S. long1. ;)8. W. about ten leagues from the coast of Brarf zil, the United States frigate Constitution fell in with and captured his Britannic Majesty's frigate Java, of 49guns, and manned with upwards of 400 men. Theactioncontinued one hourand iffty-five minutes in which time the Java was made a complete wreck, having her bowsprit and every mast and spar shot out of her. The Constitution had 9 kille.i and 25 wounded. The Java had 69 killed and 104 wounded. Among the latter was her commander, Captain Lambert, a very distin- guished Oiffcer, mortally. From a letter written by one of her Officers whilst on board the Con- tention, it is evident that thi wounded must, .save been considerably greater, and many must ivt- 'tie;! of their wounds previous to removal. The lettcl' states 80 killed and 170 wounded. The Java was rated at 38* ZIIDS. but mount- ed 49.—She was just out of dock, and fitted in the completes! manner to carry out Lieut.-General Hislop, Governor of Bombay, and his Staff; Captain Marshall, a Commaudcr in the British- Navy and a number t)f Naval Officers going to j in the British ships of war in the East Indies. Besides these, and having her own complement oMlcers and men eomplete. shc had upw:¡rds of one hundred supernumeraries of petty officers and seamen for the Admiral's ship and other vessels on the Fast India station. She also had dispatches from the British Government for St. Helena, the Cfipe of Good Hope, and to every British establishment in the East Indies and China Seas, and had copper on board for a 74 gun ship and two sloops of war building at Bom- bay, and it is presumed many nther valuables,all winch were blowlI up in her on the 31st of Dec. when she was set on fire. The Constitution was considerably cut in her spars, rigging, and sails but not so ntach injur- ed but that she would have commenced another action immediately after the capture of the Java, wiiicii latter vessel Kas made perfectly an un. manag-eable wreck. All the Officers and seamen taken in the Java, were paroled by Commodore Bainbridge, and landed on the 3d of January, at St. Sa'vador Brazils. The following is a list of his Britannic Majes- ty's Miiilary and Naval Officers paroled at St. Salvador, by Commodore Bainbridge :— I lieutenant-general, I major, I captain, mili- tary officers.-I post captain, I master and com- 5 lieutenants, 3 lieutenants of marines, 1 surgeon, 2 assistant-surgeons, 1 purser, 15 mid- shipmen, I gunner, 1 boatswain, I master, I car- penter, captain's c!erks.- Total 38 officers, 323 petty officers, seamen, marines, and hoys, exclu- sive of 9 Portuguese seamen, liberated and given up h; the Governor of St. Salvador, and 3 pas- sengers, private characters, whom the Commo- dore did not think prisoners of war, and permit- ted them to land without any restraint. The Java is rated, in Steele's List of Oct. at 36 guns.—She was built in 1809. » I, Extract of a Letter from Salem,
[No title]
In the midst of a severe snow storm, a va- luable prize ship, loaded with sugar and rum, arrived at Mablehead, prize to Mr. Crownin- shield's private armed ship America. She has [ captured another vesesl, which has arrived at Kennebeck with timber, comprising the whole frames of a seventy-four, of Quebec oak, from Quebec to London.—Two more prizes to the i America are hourly looked for at Salem. I The Hornet, we understand, arrived off St. Salvador, before the Constitution sailed for Bos. I' ton. It is said, that there was lying at the former port, a British sloop of war twenty. two guns.—The latter has, it is said, one million of dollars or. board.
