PENSACOLA.

Pensacola stands on the west side OF the
bay of that name. The harbor is rendered
of little value from the great number OF
worms, which would destroy vessels bot
tom not coppered inthe course Of months.
The entrance into the bay is defended by 2
forts. Vessels drawing 81 feet OF water
may enter the bay at all times. The Po-
pulation of Vest Florida is inconsiderable.
From the city of Mobile and Tensaw RI
vers, to the boundary, it is computed that
there is not mere than 40 families. The
population of the cities of Mobile and Pen
sacola is estimated 1900. The upland Of
West Florida is generally Of a very inie-
rior quality. The river bottoms and fats
are fertile, but too low and marshy TO give
much value to the province.
The above summary we have made from
an article in the Washington Gazette.

CURIOUS MAIDEN SPEECH.

The Earl of Carnarron, was a peer IN
the reign CT Charles the Second, and the
deliverer of curious and singular speecn
In the House of Lords, preserved by Tor.
buck, in his parliamentary debates.
This harangue was singular, not only
from the circumstances by which it was
preceded and followed, but in the literal
meaning of the word, for it was the first
and las, time this nobleman ever addressed
the House.
Having dinad with the Duke OF bucElng-
ham, and other bons virants, who circuia-
ted the bottle briskly, Lord Camarvon, in
the buoyancy Of high spirits, or the restless
rashness OF intoxication, made considera-
BILE bet with the iavorite, that he would
speak in an important debate which was
expected to come on that very day, in the
House of Lords, OH the subject OF a prope-
sed impeachment of the Earl of Dandy
The wager was confirmed by half pint
bumpers, and the joyous party repaired TO
the scene of action; the debate had corr
menced before they entered, but Lord Ger
narvon catching the speakers eye at the
moment OF peers sitting down, who had
concluded his spec ch with Latin QUOTA
ton, thus began:

but a good deal of English, and a little bit
of English history. which has taught me the
mi chief of such prosecutions and the gene

many instances in support Of my assertion,
and from very ancient times, hut | will go
no farther back, my Lords, than the reign
of Queen Elizabeth. At that period the
Earl OF Essex was run down by Sir Walter
Raleigh :. Lord Bacon ran him doun, AMI

his Grace of Buckingham The Earl Of
Stafford ran down the Duke, and we all
know what became of him. Sir Harry
Vane ran down the Earl of Stafford Chan
celor Hyde ran down Sir Harry Vane, aud
your Lordships know what became of the
Chancellor. Sir Thomas Osborn, now the
Earl of Dandy, ran down Chancellor Hyde;
but what viii become OF The Earl Of Dandy,
your Lordships best can tell. +"
As soon as the orator sat down, the sur
prised and disappointed Buckingham, who
wished rather to ridicule than serve Lord
Dandy, stepped toward Carnarvon, and
patting him on the back exclaimed, the
mans inspaed-Pve lost my money--my
