MISCELLANEOUS.

ARNOLD.-By the death OF Gen.
Phillips. who commanded the British
in Virginia, the traitor Arnold was left
in command there for some time. Gen.
LAFAYETTE commanded the American
forces opposed to him. 1t became ne
cessary Tor Arnold to write to Lafayette
on some subject connected with their
sperations, and flag and several sob
diers was sent with his letter. On learn
ing that the letter was from Arnold,
Lafayette refused to open It saying 10
the soldiers who brought il that he was
willing to correspond with any hoHora-
Die man of the whole British army, from
a General to private soldier, but with
Arnold. who was a trajt1r and dishon-
orabIe man, he could have nothing to
do with. This information carried back,
created much conversation among the
British troops, to the disadvantage oi
Arnold their commander. The com
mon soldier rema ked that he must be
n bad man, when the American Gener-
al would prefer corresponding with one
of them, even a private soldier, to him
who was a General of an army.

NRw.AscHyApeEL.--A ST. Peters
burg Journal gives the following ac
connt OF the Settlement of New Arch
angel, colony belonging to the RIOS
sian American Company, situated ~
the isle OF Sitks, in fifty seven degrees
north latitude, not far from the north
west coast of America The climate
il milder than in Lavonia, the cold
rarely exceeding fifteen degrees; bu'
the rains and dense fogs which occur
almost daily, are very disagreeable to
strangers: very few diseases preVa'l
there. The soil of the island IS IN gen
eraI rocky, and consequently III adapt
ed to agriculture: it is with great DIT
fculty that the inhabitants cultivate Pc
tatoes on the coast. The rocks are
clothed with moss, on which large frs
and Iarches grow in such abundance,
that the whole island resembles an i'm
penetrable forest. The natives have
settled on the coast; they subsist only
on fish and some roots. Their clothing
is made OF valuable furs, such az otter,
sable, and fox; butfor the most part
they go naked, even when the cold is
six degrees, and bathc every day IN
the sea They are bold, cunning, and
well skilled in the management OF fire
arms. When opportunity offers, they
are very dexterous thieves. They paint
their faces with red, black, and green,
and adorn their heads with small
white feathers. The principal wo
men slit the lower lip, and pot into the
Opening a piece of wood, which soon
causes the lip to enlarge to a consider
able length. The longer the lip, the
more beautiful is a woman considered.
The island is destitute of provisions,
and they are very dear.-It produces
no corn, and nothing is cultivated but
potatoes and carrots. There is no pas
iursge whatever and, consequently
| 10 oxen, sheep or horses Ten eggs
cost FIVE rubles; a couple of fowls, ten
| rubles; a busheI Of potatoes, thirty
| fubles. Bread and meat are brought
by sea. The nearest place from which
provisions can be procured is Califor
MIA, which is three hundred leagues
distant.
