The New-York Observer speaking ofj the late dissatisfied spirit manifested in in South Carolina, and the disunion of the states, says, No: far from it. There is not a man, woman, or child, from Maine to Georgia, however foolishly he may talk, that would dare to commit the fatal deed, if he had the power. We have been exceedingly gratified in reading the speech of Gov. Taylor, of bouth Carolina, the very focus ol qis content, at armhlir dmv.pr on the 4th nf July. The following are extracts "This severing of a g of a member from an established Confederation is not so easy a matter as some seem to think. The project I meet with in some of our newspapers, of forming conventions, of withdrawing our Senators and Representatives will repeal no law or treaty now binding upon the whole. Those who act under the authority of the General Government, if they do their duty, must, on its performance bring the two authorities in collision, There is no

"I do not yet despair of the Republic: I cannot believe that the strongest mo tive which actuated the States in forming this confederation, can long be lost sight of I mean our foreign commercial relations. I believe that when this regulating of commerce, so much relied on shall be found to have destroyed it. that our General Government will retrace her 6teps. I well remember when Mr. Jefferson, and a majority of the wise men oi the nation, maintained, tnat, bv commercial restrictions and embargoes, he could brine Great Britain to terms in other words, that it was a substitute for war. At this day, how many advocates could you find for this mode of making war! The opinion is gone out as completely as the opinion of that Pope and Conclave who condemned Galiileo to the Inquisition, for saying that this world of ours vtas round. "Our Representatives in Congress demonstrate, with two much success, that with the present minority, they can af ford us no relief; and still I rely on the ballot box; when the nostrums of cur political empyrics shall have failed to bringdown tin- showers of gold into the laps of all the North, East and West; when cur energies and self-denials shall have lef; them to bear the brunt, in paying the bounties they expected io wrest from us; when they see that we can and will raise our own horses, mules, cattle, and hogs, and spin and weave and wear our own homespun, and make our own iron; when they shall perceive, that even among ourselves, these tariffs are calculated to make the rich still more rich, and the poor still mere poor; then the suffrages of the Peoph-, and not of great capitalists, would tell. Then the cries of the ana-locked Yankee sailor will be heaid. I have not despaired. I see nothing yet to make me willing to give up the ship.

life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurd ly sacrificing the end to the means. When, in the battle of Germantown, General Washington's army was annoyed from Chew's house, he did not hesi tate to plant his cannon against it, although the property of a citizen. When he besieged York Town, he levelled the suburbs, feeling that the laws of property must be postponed to the safety of the nation. While that army was before York, the Governor of Virginia took horses, carriages, provisions and even men, by force, to enable that army to stay together till it could master the public enemy: and he was justified. A ship at sea, in distress for provisions, meets another having abundance, yet refusing a supply; the law of self preservation authorises the distressed to tak$ a supply by force. In all these cases, the unwritten laws of necessity, of self-preservation, and of public safety, controul the written laws of me um and teum. Fur-

state an hypothetical case. Suppose it had beftn made known to the Executive of the Union in the Autumn of 180S, that we might have the Floridas for a reasonable sum, that that sum had not indeed been so appropriated by law, but that Cong. ess were to meet within three weeks, and might appropriate it on the first or second day of their session.

But suppose it foreseen that a :'' would find means to protract tjie proceeding on it by Congress untu the ensuing spring, by which time new circumstances would change the mind of the other party. Ought the Executive, in that case, and with that foreknowledge, to have secured the good to his country, and to have trusted to their justice for the transgres sion of the law1' I think he ought, and that the act would have been approved. After the affair of the Chesapeake, we tltought w ar a very possible result. Our magazines were illy provided with seme necessary articles, nor had any appropriations ben made for their purchase. We ventured however to provide them and to place our country in safety, and bating the case to Congress, they sanctioned the act. To proceed to the conspiracy of Burr, and particularly to Gen. "Wilkinson's situation in New Orleans. In judging this case we are bound to consider the state of the information, correct and incorrect, which he then possessed. He expected Burr and his band from above, a British lieet from below, and he n e w there was a formidable conspiracy within the city. Under these circumstances was he justifiable, 1st. In seizing notorious conspirators' On this there can be but two opinions; one, cf the guilty and their accomplices; the ether that of all hones: men, 2d.

In these the example of overleaping the law is of greater evil than a strict adherence to its imperfect provisions. It is incumbent on those only who accept of great charges! to risk themselves cn great occasions, when the safety of the nation, or some cf its very high interests are at stake.; An Oificer is bound to obey orders: yet he would be a had one who shculd do it in cases for which they were not intended, and which involved the most important consequences. The line of discrimination between cases may be difikult; but the good officer is bound to draw it at his own peril, and throw himself on the justice of his country and the rectitude of his motives.

The incombustible man yesterday made his first experiments at the Tivoli, and lulhlled his promises to the public. A considerable number of spectators, a mong whom we noticed Dr. Mark and several other Physicians, assisted at thia preliminary triai which affords much irr teiest. The experiments were divided inlo three parts. M. Martinez first entered an oven, constructed for the occasion on one of the grass plats of the garden, in order to avoid all suspicion of quackery. The lowest temperature was, as near as could be ascertained, sixty degrees; he came out at the expiration of 10 or II minutes, when the chicken which he held in kis himd proved to be ready for the table, having been cooked before a hot fire made at one side of the oven. The oven was then reheated, and the fire taken cut, when M. Martinez went in again and remained seven minutesThe greatest temperature during this experiment was satisfactorily ascertain ed to be 110 degrees. During these two experiments tho oven remained open, and as it was nearly three feet high, M. Martinez was ablo to sit up in it. At the third he was placed on a board surrounded by candles, and in this manner put in the oven which was then closed up, where he remainedfive minutes. At the moment he came out, a thick and suffocating smoka escaped from the mouth of the oven; but the experimenter, although a little affected at first, quickly recovered after taking a cold hath prepared for the oc casion, The following was the state of his pulse before, and at the expiration of each tiial: First time, goii g in, 92; coming out i36; Second, 13C and 176; Third, 1 CO and 200 per minute! M. Martinez covers himself for theso epeiiments, first with a light clothing of cotton, then with a garment of halters wool, thick, and lined with silk, and over the whole a sort of carick of white wool, also lined with silk. He wears cn his head a species of monk's hoid, made of white wool, lined ! ! lie k" about 45 ears of age, of tinall staturCj and appears to enjoy good health. At. ban' y, Scpti mltr Z. The Extra Session vf the Legislature, for the purpose of revising the laws, commences in this city next Tuesday. We are informed that the revisers have nearly the wholo of the revision ready to be presented. i he remainder will be reported soon after. The whole work would have been completed, had it not been for ths illness of Mr. Spencer, who has been incapacitated for labor for the last three weekly but is now recovering. Ft cm Vera Cruz. Capt.

The Mexicans were highly dissatisfied with the Commodore's conduct, and he intended returning home to the United States by the first conveyance. Commodore Porter. As several declarations respecting Commodore Porter, relative to the Mexican navy, have been recently imputed to him, no doubt erroneously, we subjoin an extract from a letter received frcm him by the last arrival.

I have placed them all in a good state of preservation and they can all be fitted for sea in a few days after the men are on board. In the mean time I propose visiting the United States for the recovery of my health, which is somewhat impaired from , so long an exposure to an unhealthy climate; besides, I want repose of body and mind. A few months will restore me to health and vigour, arid 1 shall return fresh for any service..
