on between this Island and Africa. The French
brig Cyrus 1874 tons, landed between three and four
hundred slaves from Africa in this colony few days
ago She is now in port, reporting herself on her
arrival in ballast; she came to a house Of which a
citizen of the United States is a partner What a
comment upon republican creed A person, once
u S. Consul at Matanzas, was well known TO have
been recently engaged, and deeply, IN the African
slave trade -

Improved Brick Kiln. Mr.. S. r. Bakevell, Of
Washington city, has invented several new and val
liable improvements in the consti ucton OF brick
kilns, and in the hitherto difficult, dilatory and
expensive operation Of burning bricks, by which, he
says, the whole contents Of kiln may with facility
be burnt, fit for fronts, with about one third less
fuel than is generally made use Of, and in half the
usual time. Persons wishing to avail themselves
Of these improvements, may obtain further infor-
nation by application to Mr.. John Frank, Brick
maker, at the city of Washington, who is author
lied to sell rights to such inclined to pur-
| chase.

The wood used in Tripoli, is brought IN

Il cord.
There are many remains of antiquity in
Tripoli There are nine pillars to the por-
tico of the house in which the American Of
fcers lived. They are OF marble, and have
the appearance of great antiquity. There
are many columns If Roman and Grccian
architecture, wrought into the corners OF
some of the houses without form or regular
ty. The streets Of rripol are narrow and
dirty, and the houses present dead wall.
Many of the houses are partly composed OF
broken marble, full of engrayings and in
scriptions, mostly defaccd.
Marriages are proclaimed in Iripoli by
one or two old women, who run through the
streets, making a most hideous yelling, and
frequently clapping their hands to their
mouths, similar to the American Indians III

The following principal articles of faith,
constitute the religion of the Turks That
there is but one God and that Mahomet IS
the Messenger of God. Their command
ments are but five in number viz:
lst. TO pray five times a day.
Cd. To fast in Lent, or rpmadan.
3d. To give aims, and perform works Of
ch lrlty.
4th. To go On pilgrimage 10 Mecca.
5th. 10 keep the body clean.
Four other points are deemed of import
ancc, though not Of absolute necessity to
salvation, VIZ To keep Friday as Sabbath,
to be circuncised: to drink no vine; and 70
abstain from swine flesh, or things strangletl.
Many Of the inhabitants Of l,ripoli strictly
adhere to this religion.
