OBSERVATIONS on TUNIS, &c.
The following interesting "OBSERVATIONS on the CITY of TUNIS and the adjacent Country," lately published in London, we hope will prove acceptable to our readers. They are written by EDWARD STANLEY, Esq. a gentleman of great abilities, and were the employment of some of his leisure hours during his residence at Tunis...
THE kingdom of Tunis above all other parts of Africa, seems to be peculiarly interesting to the inhabitants of Europe: it is classical ground, consecrated to all lovers of polite literature, and the history of ancient Rome.
For I presume it will be wholly unnecessary to inform my readers that the city of Tunis stands but little removed from the original site of Carthage, and that the kingdom of Tunis comprehends the circumjacent country, which was formerly the territory immediately dependent on that celebrated ancient republic.
We might, therefore, reasonably suppose, that every circumstance relative to Tunis would have been long since explored by the curiosity, and diffused by the narrations of European travellers. This, however, is by no means the case.
Tunis, the capital of the kingdom so called, is situated on a rising ground, beside a lake of the same name, and is about four miles in circuit, containing three hundred thousand inhabitants. The streets are narrow, as in most hot countries, and not being paved, dirty in winter, and dusty in summer.
When the house has two stories, there is sometimes a cloister in the court, and a gallery over it; the rooms are the whole length of the court and galleries, but very seldom communicate, the stairs going up from the porch or court.
Among people of distinction the walls are hung with silk hangings half way down, contrived to hook on and change at pleasure according to the season, they are also furnished with mats for the floor to lean against.
Most of the water used in this city is rain water, preserved in tanks or large cisterns, which hold sufficient to serve the families five or six months. The roofs of the houses being flat, and nicely terraced, on the first appearance of rain the conduits are stopped up to prevent the dirt and filth running into the cisterns, when they find the roofs clean, the pipes are opened, and the water runs.
The markets are plentifully supplied with all the necessaries of life, beef and mutton at a pen-
ny per pound, poultry in great abundance, more especially pigeons, the largest and finest I ever saw. The people of these countries being great bread-eaters, this essential article is uncommonly cheap and good...
Great quantities of bread are sold in the market-places, the proper officers who go round to inspect the weights and examine the quality, on finding it short, immediately apply the bastinado to the seller, knowing it must be his fault in not seeing his bread full weight.
WATER TOWN, (Connecticut) July 30. An example of industry and economy in this luxurious age. A young lady, now 16 years of age, daughter of Mr. Jeremiah Peck, an industrious taylor, in this neighbourhood, has for four or five years past, been picking up threads of woollen cloth, of every colour, and at her leisure, mincing them together, till she has made herself a bed-quilt of a good size, which was yesterday quilted by a number of her neighboring young females, and in which there is fourteen hundred pieces of cloth.
PHILADELPHIA, August 9. On Tuesday morning last, departed this life, after a long and painful illness, which was borne with much patience and resignation, WILLIAM MASTERS, Esq. one of the Justices of the Peace, for the city and county of Philadelphia; and on Wednesday morning, his remains were interred in the family vault, in Christ Church yard, attended by a large number of respectable citizens.
BALTIMORE, August 5. Captain Robert Ross, who arrived here, on Saturday last, in the brig Keener, from St. Bartholomew's, after a passage of 15 days, informs, that on the 29th ultimo, in lat. 35, 30, N. and long. 71, 30, W. he spoke Captain Woodward, in a brig from the Bay of Honduras, bound for Bristol, (out 5 days), who being very short of water, he supplied him with a puncheon, and left him steering for the port of his destination.
It is with great pleasure we learn, that the loss sustained by the storm of the 24th ultimo, did not amount to near so much as was calculated at that time, for by the care and unremitted exertions of the Merchants, a considerable quantity of sugar, tobacco, and other articles, were saved from the threatened destruction.
The Old American Company of Comedians, under the direction of Mellis, Hall and Henry, are just arrived from Philadelphia, and preparing for their theatrical campaign in this town: When we remember the decency and propriety of their former conduct, united with their ardent desire to make the stage "a rational and useful entertainment," we doubt not of their meeting with the approbation and encouragement of an enlightened public.
RICHMOND, August 2. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Northern Neck. "On Wednesday the 23d ult. a storm of wind and rain, came on in the night, and continued with great violence until 12 o'clock the next day; it destroyed quantities of corn, tobacco, and fruit, a number of houses, and large trees were blown down in the counties of Northumberland, Lancaster, Richmond, and Westmoreland; how much higher up the country I cannot tell, The lower counties in Maryland, the Eastern shore down to the Capes, and on the bay, shared the same fate; several ships were seen going up Potomack under jury masts, famine seems to stare people in the face!
PETERSBURG, (Virginia), July 31. Information having been communicated to the Executive of Georgia, that the Creek Indians were much disposed to enter into a permanent treaty of friendship and alliance with the United States, a conference was held by the Governor of that state, on the 13th ultimo, with the honorable Richard Wynn, Superintendent of Indian affairs, for the Southern department; on the subject of appointing a time and place for holding the said treaty should be held on Monday the 15th day of September next, at Mr. Larkin Cleveland's, on Tugula river, in the county of Franklin.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 13.
Several reports have lately circulated respecting an attack said to have been made on a party of the troops stationed in the territory North West of the Ohio. The best information we can collect, is from a gentleman just arrived from the Muskungum, who says that a party of the Chippewas, about 20, had been some time loitering about the camp, where the stores were collected for the general treaty, under the guard of a corporal and ten men; that taking advantage of this small party, they in the night made an attack and killed two centinels, wounded a third, supported mortally, and scalped a mulatto man; that being fired upon by the remainder of the guard, they retreated, without doing any further damage, or effecting their design, which was to plunder the stores.
The stores have since been removed to a place of greater security, and the treaty is now expected to be held at Fort Harmar.
Notwithstanding this accident, (for so it is viewed in the Western country) it is expected that there will be a full meeting of the Indians at the treaty; from which great advantages will accrue, as the natives in general seem well disposed to cultivate harmony and a good understanding, with our settlers in that quarter.
On Friday the 8th inst. at Flushing, in Queen's County, the adoption of the New Constitution was celebrated, by a number of the inhabitants, who had collected on this occasion from different parts of the county, to testify their approbation of those measures which promise happiness to us as a nation, and which are so truly interesting to every one who wishes well to the rising States.
At three o'clock, the discharge of Eleven guns, announced that dinner was served under the colonnade; the President, Col. William S. Smith, was conducted to the chair, and the gentlemen sat down with that hilarity usual on such an occasion. After dinner, the following toasts were drunk, with a discharge of Eleven guns to each, from the Park.
1. The United States, and Union in their Councils. 2. The illustrious Washington. 3. Our Allies, and all the Friendly Powers. 4. May the Citizens of America have spirit to defend, what the wisdom of her Councils have framed. 5. The Eleven States, who have adopted the New Constitution. 6. The memory of those American Heroes, who fell in the late glorious struggle for their liberties. 7. May our Interest as a Nation, be supported by Honesty and Industry. 8. May the Liberty of the Press be preserved, and its Licentiousness punished. 9. May the industrious Farmer reap the fruits of his Labor. 10. Cincinnati. 11. The American Fair.
An Oration adapted to the pleasing era, was then delivered by Mr. JOHN MULLIGAN, a student of Columbia College. This unexpected exhibition to the auditory, the graceful manner in which it was delivered, and the truly interesting subject on which he spoke, excited admiration in the hearers, and commanded loud plaudits to the youthful Orator.
The conviviality of the day was heightened by the arrival of a number of gentlemen from New-York, who participated at the entertainment, and landed with a discharge of artillery, which was answered by the Park. The greatest good order and decorum, was observed throughout by all present, who testified their approbation of the conduct and exertions of those gentlemen in particular who planned and finished the colonnade, who commanded and served the artillery, and who with great cheerfulness conducted the business.
DIED on Monday last, Mrs. FEAR IRELAND, consort of Mr. John Ireland, merchant of this city. Yesterday arrived the Schooner Sally, Marshalk, from St. Croix; and Proserpine, Bangs, Middletown: Sloops Sally, Tuckman, Fredericksburgh; and Hudson, Wheaton, Baltimore.
SHIP NEWS.
Extract of a letter from Capt. P. Freneau, of the Schooner Columbia, dated Norfolk, Virginia, July 29, 1788.
"SIR, "I had the misfortune to have my vessel distressed, cargo shifted, and almost every thing washed overboard in a violent hurricane on Wednesday the 23d inst. The Schooner was three times on her beam ends, and in this distressing situation had all my people carried over board except one. They were all fortunate enough, however, to get on board again, except Capt. Cannon, and a Mr. Stellwoll, both of whom were unfortunately drowned. On Friday the 25th, I fell in with the ship Betsey, Capt. Bell, of Canotuckey, who towed me into Hampton Road. Immensity of damage is done in these parts. The bay full of wrecked vessels, and nothing but disaster and destruction to be seen. Yours, &c."

The following is a curious extract from the Will of the late WILLIAM WOODSON, formerly of Longford, in the county of Sussex, (G.B.) and late of Burlington in the county of Middlesex, dated the 27th of November, 1781, and proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on the 27th of October, 1786. The whole was in his own handwriting.
"Item, I commit my body to the earth, to be buried in a plain coffin, to be drawn (if not inconvenient) on my own-bore cart to the church, and then to be carried on the shoulders of six poor men, without any pall or manner of funeral pomp whatsoever; and I order that the said poor men be paid two shillings and six pence each for their trouble. "Item, I order my corpse to be dressed in my last new shirt and middle neck-cloth and night-cap, and my plain night-gown and my old rusty sword, which always lay by my bed-side, in my right hand, and my Latin Testament in my left hand, and my little pillow, in the pillow-case, under my head."
THE LUCUBRATIONS OF AN OLD FELLOW. OF HUMAN INCONSTANCY.
NO weather cock under heaven, is so variable as inconstancy. Every breath of wind fans him to a different direction; as if his mind were so near akin to air, that it must be ever in motion, ever shifting, in perpetual change. Like an Instrument cunningly played on, it rises and falls, and alters its tone; and all in a moment.
We are feathers blown by the blast of our own wild passions; we are the sport of the veering winds.
How many in an infant have murdered those they lately loved!—as if chance and caprice were the arbiters of human things. How warm is our friendship often, when a single word or look shall turn it into hate, and the man for whom we could have died, the object of our keenest vengeance!—Such is the hold which man has of man; it is lost in a moment never more to be recovered, for a trifle, or for nothing.
In our diet how infinitely changeable are we! what to-day we riot on, often nauseates us to-morrow. In our recreations, how inconsistently loving!—Sometimes we delight over hill and dale to follow the deep-mounted hounds; at other times we have the sound of the horn, and faunter in our gardens, strike the billiard ball, or tread the stibble with the thundering tube in our hands;—Instrument alike fatal to man and birds!—In our apparel are we less variable?—are we not the slaves of mutability? The varieties of inconstancy! As if fashion were a God, which would needs be worshipped by perpetual change. Our life, in short, is but a greater and longer childhood.
What man would not die with anguish, were he obliged to follow another in all his giddy motions and fancies; for although we are ever changing, nothing pleases us out what proceeds from the native freedom of the soul; and every thing pleases which is the result of that freedom.
There is happily in human nature a consolatory something, at which I have often much marvelled, that makes every man, however foolish, satisfied with himself, tho' not with his condition; or, at least satisfied to such a degree, as to justify the maxim: "No man would change his neighbour for himself." Hence the beggar laughs, the cripple sighs; and hence the admirable conclusion of the poet:
"Not even a vanity is given in vain."

MR. SARJEANT, LATE Assistant Teacher at the PRINCE of WALES's MILITARY ACADEMY at Kensington, near London, proposes to give a course of instructions in SHORT-HAND WRITING, after the method of Mr. GURNEY, in this city.
Of the utility of the art to Gentlemen of the LEARNED PROFESSIONS, nothing needs be asserted, nor of the superiority of this system to any other; a system known to be in general estimation wherever the English language is spoken; and to unite the different excellencies of EXPEDITION and LEGIBILITY; a system, the result of FIFTY years PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE in the different English Courts of Judicature, &c. and now reduced to such a degree of perfection, as to be scarcely capable of further improvement.
A convenient room for the purpose is already engaged, and the hours of attendance will be made agreeable to the pupils. The theory and practice will each consist of SIX LESSONS. The terms ONE GUINEA; or HALF A JOE from those who are waited upon at their houses.
As Mr. Sarjeant's avocations in the city of Philadelphia require his return in twelve or fourteen days, he flatters himself that those Ladies or Gentlemen who intend to honor him with their attendance, will be as early as possible in their application.
