From the Philadelphia Gazette.

MIGRATION OF Fish AND BIRDS. There was
inserted in the Philadelphia Gazette some years
since, an account Of the migi alton and regular
return Of the Shad 10 the river Schuylkill, many
individuals of which had been previously mark
ed when very young, in the presen Of several
well known and respectable witnesses. Some
notion Of the same kind, respecting the habits
Of the Salmon, has been published by Sir Hum
phrey Davy. How is it satisfactorily known
that these FISH DO actually sove The rUers in which
they we're spawned?
Ii has been said that Martins and Swallows
have been caught and marked, by having
Joint Of the foot ampuled, and that these birds
have been taken i'll the same place the following
year. Can Ssnf your readers declare this to
be fact, from thttA own knowledge?
Partidges, in immense numbers, are observ-
ed to migrate in The month Of October, and 10
bend their course due South, unimpeded BY any
thing which may be in their way-slill, it is
know, that these birds are always 10 be found
NJ ar the spots in which they were hatched =
Whence, then, come these wandering myriads,
and whittier do they go? Why does not the
same general impulse actua,e all Of them, as in
many other kinds of birds, Of which not one re-
mains behind?
Some Of your readers, lovers of Natural His.
tory, are requested 10 answer these queries, for
the satisfaction Of those whose want of know.
ledge makes them rather SKEPTICAL.

LETTER FROM ROME.

Rome, Feb. THE rapid approach of the
Roman Carnival, the gayest scene of the kind
now visible in Europe, has attracted to :" the
Eternal City," greater crowd of strangers
than was ever known to be assembled within
the walls Of modern Rome. 1t is computed
that, at the present moment, there are not less
than 80, 900 foreigners in it, who, by means Of
the splendor and variety of their equipages,
and their expensive gaiety of every kind, gle
Rome at present more the appearance of the
capital of an immense empire than the me-
tropolis of the miserable pontiical state. Of
these strangers the English form by far the
greatest proportion; and in all public places,
whether theatres or churches, are sure to be
more conspicuous. Rome, since the conclu-
sion of the war, has increased in wealth to
great extent, principally from the expenditure
of English money; and so well aware is the
government of the benefits derived to the Ca
pital from the presence of the English, that
they are allowed many LICENSES unknown to
the Italians themselves. Thus two or three
reading rooms are permitted, where the Morn
ing Herald, Courier, and Gslignani's Messen-
ger are takenin: while solitary journal, the
Diario, is all that Eliminates the political
world of Rome. Even Protestant clergy
man is allowed to thunder the doctrines of his
church at short distance from the capitol.
One of the most fashionable promenades of
the English on Sundays, is St. Peters Church,
where they amuse themselves in walking, Cos
slipping, and disturbing the functionaries of the
Pope, when performing the most sacred rites
of the catholic religion to crowd of penitent
sinners. But the great place for meeting the
English is at the balls of Torloni, the celebrat-
ed Italian banker, which takes place regularly
once week during the reason, and are of a
very splendid description. The French Am
bassador, Nj. Chateaubriand, gives fete also
once week, to which every foreigner, on
leaving his card and address, is most generous
ly invited. The parties of the latter are more
agreeable, as the conversation, influenced by
the high character Of the host, generally turns
on the political and literary news of the day.

Our readers have been doubtless on the

from his Official station. From citizen OF Ten

evening, information was obtained, which may
be relied on The circumstances are of do
nestle and ,!elicate nature, Which will account
Tor the silence preserved in the Tennessee pa
pers upon the subject. United, few mapihs
since, 10 an amlable and respectable 10y, it
seems that, under the influence of some unhap-
by delusion, bis lr-a,ment of her has been SO
outrageous as 10 cause the most unequivocal
expressions Of popular indiguaiion.-lt Is the
universal opinion that his suspIC ions were eE-
