BY the ship Eagle, captain Morrill,

Esd June. The U. S. schooner Dol
phin had sailed few days before that
date for Coouimbo. The frigatc Unit,
ed States left Coquimbo for africa "a
bout the middle Of June. Flour at Val
paraiso on the Esd. June was at SIS per

with every kind ofproduce. A num-
Der of vessels had arrived during the
month of June with -four, but could
not sell, and proceeded to leeward-.
there were no vessels at Copiapo On the
18th July, when the Eagle sailed. The
Achilles, Spanish sloop Of war, had
been risen upon by her crew, and bro'I
into Valparaiso. The Brirish74, Cam
bridge, sloop of war L'Ecole, and 4
French sloop of war, were at Nalpa-
raise.
In addition to the foregoing, we learn
that passenger in the Eagle reports
that the northern section OF Chill, in
Guiding Coquimbo, had receded from
the Gillian republic, in consequence
Of dissatisfaction at the proceedings OF
the congress. We have endeavored,
but without success, TO gain further

This is the first time for century,
that the tomahawk could be said to DE

pledges which the Indians have made

it will not only be an advantage TO them,
but to the persons engaged in the fur
trade in those distant regions, because
the Indians may now explore The whole

and avail themselves Of all their advan-
tages, when before they were confined
to certain limits, which they dared

and at least half as much more is at
this hour destined for their formation.
Fifty years ago there was hardly a
steam engine in the kingdom. There
canno, now be less than twelve thous-
and; creation of power equal to at
least a quarter of million of horses;
an energy which, in single day, would
have raised up the great pyramid OF
Egypt. Fifty years ago our annual ex-
port of manufactured cotton did not "a
mount to quarter of million IN va
value. 1t has now swollen to near thir-
ty millions. In the same period, our
exported woollens, in defiance Of Sax
on, Prussian, Spanish, and American
competition, have advanced more than
two millions. Fifty years ago, our
imports of raw silk were only three
hundred thousand pounds in weight
They are now aearly thirty millions
Fifty years ago, our export Of linens
were about four millions Of yards; they
are now nearly forty millions. Fifty
years ago, the whole value Of our ex-
ported produce, both native and TO-
reign, was just fifteen millions OF mo-
ney; the value of British produce ex-
ported alone, is now more than fifty
millions. A hundred and fifty years a
go, says old Tucker, there were only
two or three vessels in Scotland above
two hundred tons: our whole tonnage
is now more than quarter Of a mil
lion, employing twenty thousand souls.
A hundred and fifty years ago, says

did not amount to hundred thousand

From the Erie GQzetfe.1
A SKETCH OF ERIE.

"What beautiful place!" is the
language which We every day hear ap-
piled TO our village by the sojouming
stranger. All pronounce it beautiful,
and many view it with the most enthu-
siastic admiration.
AS it is becoming Common for fash
ionable and intelligent strangers ira.
Yelling to the Atlantic coast, 10 make
the tour by the way Of Erie, it may
not be unacceptable to the public to
have sketch of place which has
lately attracted so much attention.
The town is situated directly on the
bank of Lake Erie, where it forms the
beautiful harbor of Presque Isle. The
Bay or harbor, is about four miles in
length and mile and half in breadth.
On the north and east of the town,
there is a grand and boundless view
of water, On the northwest and west,
the eye is relieved by the Peninsula,
which makes the Bay. The banks CT
the Lake at. Erie, are about sixty feet
high, and the country rises gently for
ten or twelve miles back, which is the
summit level between the waters Of
the lake and the Allegheny river. The
town is laid out on the plan Of the city
of Philadelphia, all the streets inter-
secting each other at right angles no
streets less than sixty feet wide and the
principal ones one hundred feet. 1t
contains from eight hundred to one
thousand inhabitants, and its popula-
ton is rapidly increasing. l can safe
ly venture the assertion, that there is
no city in the Union which exhibits a
lovelier scenery or combines more ma
tural beauties than the Apwn OF Erie,
and the fneness of its climate and the
health Of its air, have long been pro
verbal. The soil of Erie county is OF
the generous and productive kind,
which makes the husbandman shear
ing his shcave rejoice"
Travellers, especially those from the
direction Of Pittsburgh, have frequent
ly expressed their surprise at the fine.
ness Of the roads and the facilities Of
travelling through a country which
they had heretofore considered as an
almost impenetrable forest. Indeed,
at present, travellers have every thing
to invite them in this direction. Do
they travel for cheapness and expedi-
ton? 1t has been truly said that man
could not afford to OGkk from this place
to New-York-it would cost him more
than to 60 in Post Coach. Is mans
object to improve his health? The
breezes of the lakes "carry healing in
their wings" Does he wish to be-
hold the beauties and sublimities Of ma
ture? The scenery of the Lakes and
the falls of Niagara surpass his ex-
pectations. Does he wish to view the
most stupendous work of human art?
The New-York canal fuI6ls his wish.
1t may be proper to add that the faci-
lities Of travelling are every day in
creasing. The different lines Of stages
are making great Improvements, and a
steam boat is now building at this place
for the express purpose Of accommo-
dating travellers between this and Buf-
faloe.
The improvements now making in
the basin between Presque Isle and the
Port, are on plan which presents an
anomala in hydraulics. These works
are superintended on the one side, BY

the eel; on it's coming in contact, l,
was thrown up about two feet, and
when it fell was perfectly hteless.-

lining this singular animal, says thai
he received three or four severe shocks
