RUINS OP CARTHAOS.—Extiact Of. a Letter
from a young Officer in the American Navy to his
Friends :—" Previous, to our, leaving Tunis, we
made att excur§ion to the ruins of Carthage. Our
Captain, accompanied by a number of. his Of-
ficers, left the vessel early in the morning, anti
hating procured horses,
.teadhed the desolate site
of that once powerful city, at nine o'clock : It is
situated about 16 miles froth Tunis, and 3 from the
Golota, and is,•frout its antiquity and former ce-
lebrity, justly an object of curiosity. All that the
' traveller can now discover is a huge extent of loose
titottes and fragments of marble, parts of pillars,
cornices,. &c. and some very large cisterns to
contain the water for the city, whiCh was brought
from- great 'hisetance by an aqueduct ; these are
iu tolerable preservation. We Wand also a num-
ber of. suhterratteous passages , leading from one
part of the city to another, many of which, are
inhabited by families of miserable half starved
Turks, who appear to regard with jealousy or
contempt those (Aristians,whose curiosity attracts
Om to their ahodts. Wewet e unable to dis-
cover all the wonders detailed by Laity Montagne

Aytl,or of " The Spirit of the Book," &e.---These
Memoirs nittorallY excite uncommon interest. The
Atithor pleilges,himself that they are written with
the most sacredYegard to truth. We should oh.
serve, however, that he lays open indeed scenes
of folly and vice which it would have. been more
to his credit, as layout of prudence, to have buried
in 'tbe obscurity. of his own breast: but, setting
aside these de'formities, and making allowance for
the %lanky of. the, Writer, it must he confessed
that these Volumes are extrelkeely well written,
and afford a. rich variety of entertainment to. the
lover of anecdote and secret history.
