PRINCE ALFRED AT TC:14113.

TUNIS, JAN. 16.

On the morning of the 2nd inst. an English
frigate wee signalled from the heighte of Carthage, end In
the course of the day It beoame known that it was the
Boryalos, having on board his Royal Highness Primes
Alfrod.ly on the following morning her Majesty's
Consul-General waited upon the prince, and the European
as well se the Moslem population of Tunis anxiously waited
his return to learn the object of this unexpected visit.

It was, however, parity known that Wm royal

. .
highnese had requested Mr. Davis, now excavating
to the site of Carthage, to attend him the day
after. It was at once seen that there was so politlaat
question comected with the prince's visit, but that this
clank lead wee his only attraction. On the 6th Prince
Alfred landed, accompanied by Major Correll, Captain Tar-
baton, end several officers of the frigate. Every demonstra-
tion to exhibit the friendly feelings towards Great Britain
was made by the local authorities. Carriages were in atten-
dance to convey the party to the Palace at Bardo, where
the prince was received by the reigning Bey with an
affection quits parasol. In the meantime the City Pa-
lace had been prepared for the prince, to which he hod
no sooner repaired than the Bey returned his visit. Ow
this, as well es on the previous occasion, his highness ex-
' read himself in the strongest terms in favour of Eng-
land, and to demonstrate his sincerity he begged Prince
Alfred to permit him to invest him with the badge of the
reigning family of Tmis—a diamond, only worn by princes
of the blood. The distinguished visitor and mite then
returned on board the frigate. The following morning
they landed again, and, accompanied by Mr. Davis, pro-
ceeded to examine the remains of the once mighty Carthage.
In the 'maim the prince honoured the Conaul•Orncrel by

_ .
being peseest at a bell got up in the beet style Tunis can
afford.

On the 7th hie royal highness went to view the ruins of
Udine, or Oadn•, the ancient Utica, and the day after he
visited again the ruins of Carthage. A terrible gale, during
which no lees than eleven vessela were wrecked, confined the
prince to the ship, and prevented him front the gratification
of a boar hunt upon • magnificent scale, especially prepared
less him by the hey. /laving taken leave of his highness
on the 13th, Prince Alfred embarked again on the folkwing
evening, and sailed at 2 p.m. this day for Malta. The im-
pression be has made here la moat favourable, and it is highly
gratifying to the English ear to hear one of Britain's princes
highly lauded by Christians, Moslems, and Jews residing in
this country.—Turn.
