NEW ORLEANS, SEPT. 20,
PENSACOLA.

To The Editor Of the Ne1v- Orleans Chronicle
Pensacola, Sept. ls.
We are waiting with anxiety for the Uni
led States to take formal possession of this
place, and for the establishment of regu-
lar system of government. Our govern
ment at present is military one exclusive
y, and of course not very highly reIished.
Pensacola contains at this time about 1900
buildings, one third of which are dwelling
houses. Il is probably in more delight
tul situation than any town in the southern
country, and decidedly more healthy Ma.
ny northern people have spent the season
here thus far, without a single death, nor
scarcely case of sickness.
This place will and must be place oil
safe and fashionable resort during the sum
mer and sickly months. Tie harbor is ex.
ceeded by none in the world perhaps--twc
thousand ships may ride in perfect safety
Fort Carlos de Barancas is six miles below
the town, and commands the entrance into
the harbor. The country in the neighbour
hood is very far from being fertile, but al
this part of the country produces the grape
in great luxuriance, and will one day be tc
the United States what Spain is to Europe
Lends on the Escambia are good as also
on the Yellow Water, and the different
bayous and creeks. The Indians are rou
ted-scarcely one is seen Throughout, the
country. Many of them have passed on tc
cross the Mississippi.

A machine has recently been invented TO
drag the river Tiber, from the Bridge Molle
as far as San Paolo, to recover the precious
objects which it is generally thought are
buried in its bed Many people are per-
suaded that the golden candlesticks of Jeru-
salem will be found however, should the
project Of Ending these objects (Which, per-
haps. have not been thrown into the river)
foil, great hopes are entertained of obtaining
some valaabl- antiquities. The design can
not be carried into effect this year, on &C
count of the increase of waters, which takes
place annually in autumn"

propriety Of eIecting members OF the
convention. The diversity of opinions
which prevailed on this subject, was such
as TO induce us to enquire Of Mr.. Pope,
upon his arrival, as To what were his
views on the subject and he gives it as
his opinion that II will be proper to elect
conventions, and for them TO meet. And
1t II should appear from the returns
made, thai we have not forty thousand,
then for the convention, Ia pass an ordi-
nance, authorizing an election for mem
bers OF conventions after The last returns
shall be made, which are To he made in
the first week OF December next. And
II we then have forty thousand souls, that
such convention will have ilie riyht 10
frame a constitution. This constructors,
AIR. Pope contends, is in conformity with
the spirit and intention of the set of Con
sress : That intention being, "tiat ii We
have forty thousand at any period, during
The time winch the commissioners are
authorised 10 take the census, that we
shall then be able 10 form state govern
mcnt." This construction seems to cor
respond with reason, and we hope the
honest vigilance of the commissioners
authorised io take the census will no, he
