SKETCHES OF THE BARBARY
STATES-Nn. ILL.

We have observed that the kingdom Of
TINS is the most interesting among thu
Regencies in consequence of its high ranl
in antiquity. Within niue miles OF the
CITY Of Tunis and On the margin of The
most noble bay in the world, are the re
mains of the once mighty Carthase--it:
scite andsIUins are yet perfect. ant Al
this day gives clear and comprehensive
idea Of its situation and extent, and cor.
responds with the description given OF il
BY the most accredited historians.
These ruins seldom fail to excite She
highest interest, the lapse of time since
the foundation sf Carthage, the various
struggles and revolutions it has witness.
ed, tae illustrious characters it has pro-
duced, its wars, its tyrantss its triple
walls and demolished towers, all com.
blue 60 awaken recoiIections of history.
to mark the progress of time sweeping In
Discriminatory in its course nations,
countries aud cities. The mind traces
with rapidity the great events connected
viii the rise, decline and fall of this
great Republic. It's foundation by the
exile Dido, the love Of Eneas. terror to
the Romans, Puric wars, field of Zama.
iGOths and Yandass, the light Moors and
ats present possesiors, all appear as
dreams. the events Of twenty-five centu-
ries pass the eve with the rapitlitg and
imp ession Of aneble fiction. We Look
in vain for those temples ia which great
spirits dwelled. those schools in winch
great genius presided, those walls which
censtancy a0d yalor defended. all are
ruins, the flames at the same time de-
s'rOyed Carthage and CoIinth, and the
revolution Of empires has consigned them
