ral Lake, at Caffowly, by a detachment of the 22d regiment, with a proportion of Sepoys or native Indian troops. The victory was obftinately difputed. At laft the Mahrattas were entirely broken and fcattered. The number of our officers and foldiers killed and wounded in this action, was not less than 824. The fort of Burhampore was furrendered without refiftance. That of Affoonghur was eafily taken. The confequence of this victory was the unconditional fubmiffion of the Mahrattas, to fuch terms of truce as General Lake chofe to dictate. The campaign and the war feem to be thus nearly at an end, in the entire humiliation of the only nativeIndian power that had maintained its independence; and the whole Peninfula of India may now be faid to be fubject to Great Britain ! A number of French officers, of whom the chief was a M. Louis, were found directing the operations of the Mahrattas, and have been made prifoners. The neceffity of the war has been evinced by the fact, that the Mahrattas were to have been the inftruments of the French in overthrowing the British power in India. The reprefentative of the Mogul Emperor has been delivered by the fuccefs of our arms from captivity, under the power of the Mahratras. A great number of gallant British officers have, however, been killed in the different actions, among whom were Major Generals Ware and Vandeleur, Lieut. Colonel Maxwell, Major Griffith, Wm. Campbell, and Captains Duncan Grant, T. B. Humberstone, Rod. Maccleod, D. Ayton, And. Dyce, J. Maxwell, Wm. Simple, and George Story, befides many others of inferior rank.

The patentee has also a contrivance, by means of a fpring, which keeps the pike firm in its place when thrown out of the fheath. complete; when it is shifted to the diftance for the next row, which is completed in a fimilar manner, and fo on till the card is finished. The machine intended for this purpose is very accurately defcribed in the specification; but the patentees with it to be understood, that, in conftructing it, neithe materials of which it is compofed, nor the mode by which the feveral movements are obtained, are effential to the invention. Obfervations. The fame objections which occurred to us, when examining the patent hearth-brushes, trike us with equal force in the prefent inftance. The coft of a pike made upon the common and fimple plan is very trifling, whereas one made ac cording to Mr. Thomafon's method muft neceffarily be expenfive. We should think To accommodate the machines intendalfo, that they would be liable to get out ed for large cards to ribbon-cards or filletof order, which, in an intrument of this ing, the ftretching-frame and hanging-bar fort, is a very ferious objection; befides, are removed, and a mail pair of rollers if the time fhould unfortunatdly arrive, are fitted to the carriage, which are movwhen an invading enemy should rendered hy a band passing over a pulley on the pikes neceffary to felf-defence, it would be vain to wait for patent inftruments, "furor arma miniftrat ;" the points of com. mon feythes, even large knives, would inftantly be put in long poles, and anfwer the ends of the nation as well, or perhaps even better, than an inftrument complicated with racks and wheels. MR. CLEMENT SHARP's and MR. AMOS WHITTEMORE'S (LONDON) for a MACHINE for making all SORTS of CARDS for carding woOL, COTTON, &c. and for drefing woOLLEN CLOTHS. The mode in which cards are at prefent, made, yiz. by firft piercing all the holes in the piece of leather, and preparing the fta ples to be put in them fingly by the hand, muft he confined to cards of a small size, and the crook of the staples is always liable to be altered, in forcing them through flout leather, which caufes the cards to work unevenly. Thefe and other imperfections are avoided by the machine, which will make cards of any fize, with leather of any thickness, and with the greatest uniformity, to the great improvement of the woollen and cotton manufactures. The leather is put into the ftretching-frame, and, by itsdifferent motions, every part of it is brought alternately to a given point, in the centre of the machine; which, if a tracer would draw upon it any patern, it is then fet to the defired pattern, and one end of the leaf brought to the center; on the machine being put in motion, a pair of holes are made in the leaf, at the fame time the proper length of wire is brought forward and seized by its middle, when it is cut off, and bent into the fhape of a ftaple, then conducted through the holes in the leaf, where it is crooked, let loofe, and forced up to its place. The leaf is then shifted, the space for the next ftaple, and the feveral movements again take place and are repeated, until a row in width is top bar, and another on the axis of one of the rollers. The leather is put under a pulley fixed to the floor between rollers, and over a pulley fixed above the machine, where a weight is fufpended to it to keep it tight against the anvil, where it is pierced and stapled as the other cards are. MR. ISAAC HAWKINS'S (LISLE-STREET) for new MACHINERY and METHODS for writing, painting, drawing, ruling LINES, and other THINGS. This invention may be thus described : For writing, two or more pens are affixed to a horizontal and perpendicular parallel ruler, fo that no motion, either up, down, fideways, forward, or backward, can be made with one of the pens, without moving the other or others in a fimilar manner, by which means as many letters or figures are made at the fame time as there are pens. By the fame machine as many lines are ruled at once as pens are put into the parallel ruler. Paintings are done in the fame manner, by fubftituting for pens, camel's hair or other pencils. For drawing with chalk or other substances, the fubftances are put into port-crayons or cafes, which are affixed to the parallel ruler inftead of pens. To draw likeneffes of perfons, a tracer is to be fixed to one or more parallel rulers, and as many pens, pencils, or metal points, as likeneffes are wanted. This tracer is to be paffed over the face, head, &c. as is to be represented in the drawing; and the pens, &c. will mark on paper or any other thing placed against them, fimilar lines to that passed by the tracer. Likeneffes in perspective are also taken, of various fizes at the fame time, by a particular mode of placing the parallel ruler, and by fixing the tracer, pens, or points, to a pantograph. Drawings of different fizes are done at a fingle operation, by attaching pens, &c. to a double pantograph. Writing may also be dif torted mixed and incorporated together; in like manner, in the fame piece of cloth, any one, two, or three may be incorporated with any other kind of furs, wools, hair, hemp, flax, cotton, worfted, &c. and any other articles that have been or may be employed in the manufacture of cloth. What Mr. Loofemore lays claim to as his peculiar invention is the employment of fur or furs in the fabrication of cloths, either alone, or mixed with other materials. The introduction of fur into cloth gives it a degree of flexibility, foftnefs, lightness, warmth, and beauty, which cannot be attained in the ufual methods of manufacture, in which fur is not employed. And cloths made and manufactured by this method may be dyed of any colour, in the ufual manner, either by dying the materials when in the raw ftate, or by dying the yarn or thread, or by dying the pieces of cloth after they fhall have been woven. torted, for the purpose of fecret correfpon- them mixed with each other, or all three dence, by putting the pen in a particular part of the pantograph or parallel ruler, which writing must be re traced by a fimilar inftrument to make it legible. Outlines of landscapes may also be taken with fome of the aforefaid machinery. "I alfo (adds the paten:ee) fix a marking point to a fmall pantograph, in a cafe which may be carried in the pocket, to write memorandums on a flip of paper ftretched on two rollers in the faid cafe, which flip of paper is moved along every time the line is written, fo that a perfon can write memorandums in the dark, without any fear of writing two lines on one place. The effential principle in the conftruction of the tracer is, that it has the retation on its axis, and that the tracing edge be in a line with that axis, fo that turning the tracer round fhall not alter the place of the tracing edge. The drawings and defcription of them, given in Mr. Hawkins's fpecification, exhibit the invention with perfpicuity,and will enable the ingenious artift to comprehend the whole plan. MR. WILLIAM LOOSEMORE'S (LONDON) for a new METHOD of making and manufacturing certain CLOTH for general USES and PURPOSES. Mr. Loofemore employs, in the fabrication of cloth of different kinds, fur, which has never been fpun or woven into cloth or cloths: for this purpofe, the yarn or thread employed is made either from beaver's, hare's, or rabbit's, fur, fingly or mixed, according to the fineness or other quality intended to be given to the cloth, or according to the price at which it is to be fold; and cloths of other qualities and prices may, at the pleasure of the manufacturer, be produced, by mixing or incorporating any one or any two, or all three of the above named materials, in any proportions at the pleasure of the manufacturer, with wool or with any other materials that have been hitherto, or that are now, employed in making cloth for general uses; and this mixing or incorporating of one or more furs with wool or other materials may be effected, either when the materials are in their raw ftate, or after they have been carded, roved, and fpun, by difpofing in the process of weaving threads or yarn fpun from wool of any kind, hair of any kind, flax, hemp, cotton, filk, or any other material. In thefe and various other methods defcribed in the fpecification, beaver's, hare's, and rabbit's fur may be made into cloth, either fingly, or any two of MONTHLY MAG, NO, 114. ARCHIBALD EARL of DUNDONALD's, for The noble Earl's invention depends on the principle of removing from flax, hemp, &c. the bark, and a confiderable proportion of the mucilage or extractive matter, before they have been dreffed on the hackles. The hemp or flax to be operated upon is to be steeped in water or boiled, as circumftances may require. It is then to be beaten, bruifed, crushed, rolled, or acted upon by ftampers, rollers, or by any other mechanical means, fo as to promote the folution and discharge of the mucilage or extractive matter, and to loofen the adhefion of the bark to the fibre. This procefs is to be done with or without a run of water, while the fubftance is beating, and the water employed may either be cold, warm, or boiling hot, with or without foap or alkaline falts. The difference between Lord Dundonald's and the ufual process, confifts in employing water to aid the folution of the mucilage, and thus to diminish the adhe fion of the bark to the fibre, whereas the hemp or flax has always been beaten in a dry ftate. When the wet beating is fi nifhed, the fubftance is to be fubmitted to the operation of dry-beating, as preparatory to hackling or dreffing. The procefs of paffing hemp or flax through or over rollers, or by treating them by a machine fimilarly conftructed to that of a 3 D mangle, |
