The port of Istria belonging to the go

Vt lllyrium, and since the time of Augustus
Joined to Italy, contains numerous monu.
ments of that brilliant period ofthe Roman
empire, particularly in the ormer flourish.
ing, now decayed town of Pola. and in the
nelghborhoOd of Trieste. The remains Of
the Roman amphitheatre at PoIa. have
been frequently described, but insufficient.
ly. Marshal MarmOnt set some workman
to dig round it, which procured some in
formation respecting this monument of an.
tlqulty; but it was reserved for Mr.. Peter
Mobile, architect at Trieste, to proceed so
tar this summer, that as much has been dis
covered under ground as was before above
It, and TO prove the possibility of clearipo
the whole of this magnificent building from
the rubbish, he has also, out of zeal for the
arts, uncovered more ola temple of Angus
tus, and of the Roman gate, at Pola. and
secured them as far as possible. in order 10
give the friends of antiquity complete
work upon the subject.
Ihe same Mr.. Mobile has also drawn
from the rubbish and from oblivion. the ad.
mirable aqueducts in the territory of Tr;-
este, that are also of Roman ORIGIN. He
mas set people to dig in above SO place,.
aud has discovered the whole line Of The
aqueduct from Trieste to the SO irce which
supplied it with water.

The Americans on board the above shin
belonged TO the frieate Uaited States, and
she sailed in co. with that frigate from Port
MahOn for Carthagena, on the 4th of Dec.
The next day she lost her mizen topmast ia
a gale aud parted from the frigate. The
Americans had taken care of her to obliae
the Spanish Authorities, and will much re
sret the casualty which has attended their
well meant efforts.
Capt. COyil, from Gibraltar and Cadiz.
informs, that the San Fernando went en-

did not hear that any person persisted, and
from this circumstance it is probable none
did.
Capt c left Gibraltar Dec. %. A few
