above vessel; and it affords US great plea

satisfaction OF the friends of the officers and
crew OF the Spark, that they have enjoyed
during the whole OF her cruise, a degree
of health almost unprecedented, las will ap.
pear from The following extract.
Ii will doubtless afford you pleasure to
hear, as Ii does me TO be able 10 STATE, lhat
never enjoyed better health: and when
it is considered that the whole of our Off
GERS aud men, with the exception of one
OF our crew, is in state of similar good
health, il may perhaps be regarded as a
circumstance worthy OF notice, when il is
considered that we have on board altoge
Their l2O souls; sod that during cruise of
nearly six months 10 the West Indies and
Gull OF Mexico. we have not lost one Of
our men.
We are much gratl6ed to observe that
the writer OF the letter. from which the a.
bove extract is taken, has very properly
attributed this uncommon exemption from
death and disease, to the gracious interpo-
stion OF kind ADD protecting Providence.
1t may perhaps, however, be proper to re-
mark, that, as a secondary cause. much
is TO be attributed 10 that rigid attention to
cleanliness and discipline Tor which, we
understand, that vessel has been so much
and so Justly distinguished. From the
captain of one OF the vessels conveyed by
the Spark. and which recently arrived at
this port, we understand that while she lay
in the port OF Alvarado, the order and
cleanliness of that vessel excited the admi.
ration and obtained the applause OF all
who visited her. .Nea0 York Com. .4dv.

The most hattering account OF the condI-

From the report Of the Board, it may
be confidently asserted, that The Military
Academy at West Point has arrived at a
state of perfection not surpassed by any
institution OF the kind now in existence.
The report represents the several de-
paItmenls of the institution as being con-
Quoted IN exact and true principles, the
proof OF which is to re found in the excel

the other departments OF administration,
discipline, and police less the subject OF
the appreciation OF the Board, while the
precision and skill with which the militia
ry exercises, whether Of artillery or Intsn"

that the utmost pains and attention were

In accordance with custom and our own
feelings, We lay before our readers that
memorable Declaration, which proclaimed
US free and independent. 1t is a paper
which should be put into the hands OF eve>

adopted the sentiment OF that much in
jured, but yet illustrious man, JOHN
ADAMS, (whose letter we also publish)
that this day should be celebrated in re-
markatle manner, and be considered a
national festival. Surely no other deserves
more. We are much pleased with the
preparations that are made in this place.
The different Uniform Companies are to
dine in separate places near the town.
The PERIcLEAN Society will meet a,

The King Of France Dead.-By the old line
packet ship James Chopper. Capt Marshall, in 81
days from Liverpool, the Editor Of the National Adj
vocae has received his regular files of London pa
pers to the l4th.
Louis the 18th, King Of France, is dead.--Europe
has been long prepared tor this event.
Louis the 18th well read gentleman, of
good disposition, and free from many of those vices
which unfortunately distinguish kings. He has seen
much trouble, and could have had but little pleasure
since his restoration. He was widower and has
left no Legitimate children. He will be succeeded
by his brother, the Count d. Artois, under the tile
Of Charles X. The new king mounts the throne
good age, he cannot be less than Is years of
age. He is rigid monarchist, and bIgot IN re-
gion and the clergy will rejoice on his coming TO
the throne. His health, however, is good. The
next in succession is the Duke d'AugouIeme, who
married the daughter OF the unfortunate Louis 9th.
The Greek cause continues to trumph--rheir late
reverses seem to have inspired hera with new ygor
Things continued unsettled in SPAN, and will
continue so, long as the French armies are quer-
tered on the people.
Ireland still continues in disturbed state Con-
siderable alarm had been manifested, in consequence
OF turn out of the cotton spnners in various PARIS
of Lancashire and Scotland.

GREECE.-The re-taking Of Ipsara and de-
strucilon OF a portion OF the Turkish feet by the
Greeks, may now be considered as certain since
the fact Is not only confirmed by all the public aud
private accounts received, but is admitted BY the
Paris Moneur and the Austrian papers. The
following are given in the latter as the authentic
particulars, derived from Consantinople and if
the Turks themselves admit thus much there is no
doubt but their reyerses still more disastrous.
|" subsequently, TO The recapure oil Ipsara, the
Greeks having assembled number OF vessels Of
war, approached The urkish feet so close that thew
kept 1t in state of blockade. The Captain Pacha
then gave orders to attack, and seemed at first 10
have obtained some success; but during the action
the Greeks succeeded with The aid of their fire
ships in setting FIVE to several frieates and briggs
which occasioned great confusion amongst the OF
toman heet, and the Turks after losing FIVE frgates
and cofvettes, were compelled TO their STA
ton in the waters OF Mytilene, where they were
preparing to sail for the coast of Asia Minor p
Another account from Constannople states in adj
dition that the Turks lost all their gun boats and
transports.
The harvest had commenced in Scotland, under
very favorable circumstances. In England, there
was every prospect that the crop OF hops would be

in Ireland last year, 10000 hhds more than the
preceding year, and double what it was ten years

An extraordinary phenomenon occurred on the I'd
Sept. near Haworth, about "a miles from Leeds. A
part OF the high lands on the moors, opened into
chasms and sunk to the depth of or yards in
some places, and formed two cavities, one about 200
and the other about 600 yards in circumference.
From these issued two immense volumes of muddy
water, which, uniting al the distance of 100 wards
from their sources, overwhelmed the country for
about two hours from so 10 60 yards in width from
8 TO yards in depth, and for distance of orr
miles. All this way there was deposited black
moorish substance, from to Sc inches in depth,
mixed with sand, rocky fragments, &c. par
agraph dated Leeds Sept. E, states that the river
Ayre still presented the most extraordinary sp-
Notwithstanding exactly the grounds of cof-
fee. All the woollen manufactures, dye houses,
&c. upon its banks, were completely at a sand and
the most lively approximations prevailed TO the ul-
innate consequences of this unusual phenomenon.
