GEORGETOWN, (Ken.) Nov. IS.

A few nights ago, the inhabitants on the
coast of the Ohio, both above and below tie
Falls were alarmed by confused numbering
noise descending the river, resembling TIE
roar of rushing torrent Those living on
the bottom, supposed that the river had been
raised by sudden swell, abandoned their
dwellings,, and f1cd to the hills; expecting the
morning sun would rise upon the wreck of
their earthly all. AS the noise approached,
il became more terrific, somewhat similar to
the deep peals of distant thunder. But the sub.
FINEST part of the scene was yet to come
Of a sudden the river seemed to blaze. Some
phenomenon, which vomitcd fire and smoke
with tremendous noise, darted along the sur
face of the stream with the rapidity of me-
teor. The apprehension of damage to their
property was now lost in a more important
concern. They imagined the end OF the
world was at hand; for they saw the triumph
of that element which is to consume all things
most powerfully displayed, when it was able
to vanquish natural antipathies, and literally
to /" set river on fire" --These good people
were not little relieved next morning, on
hearing that the cause of all their consterna-
nation and dismay, was no other than
STEAM BOAT, on its way down the river.

at Algiers, and myself. By the Consll's

horses in the Stables of the Dey, are im.
mediately descended from Arabiaus, he
says he has reason to believe, that .his

full seventeen hands high blagG. being the

Pedigree, as the people of Barbary do not
keep them --but that he is assured by those
who knew the horse, that he is OF the frs,
and highest Arabian blood and that he is
highly valued, as possessing many of the

rabs. The dress | received with HIM,
