Isle Of Wight about the ninth hour; and
at London bridge about the fifteenth hour,
after the moon has passed the meridian.
And at Bntsha, in the kingdom Of Ton
quin, the sea ebbs and flows but once a
day, the time of high water being at the
setting of the moon, and the time of low
water at her rising. There are, also
great variations in the height of tides, ac-
cording to the situation Of coasts, or the
nature of the straits which they have TO
pass through. Thus, the Mediterranean
and Baltic seas have very small elevations;
while, at the port Of Bristol, the height is
sometimes near thirty feet; and, at St.
Malo's, it is said to be still greater.

the following particulars in letter under

vessels bound to that port. Gen. John

400 volunteers, who together with the

yer bars. The whole amount of the pre-.
cious metals imported at New Orleans
within one week. exceeds now $500, 900.
Every thing was quiet at Vera Cruz but
serious apprehen.iohs were entertained of
war with the United States, which the
inhabitants Of that city felt very anxious
10 avert, because the blockade of the port
by an American naval force would soon
reduce them to ruin. Santa Anna was
still positively at Mango de Clavo on the
10th. and therefore the rumor which was
nffoat at Tampico at the latest dates, that
he had been arrested aud carried to the
city Of Mexico, is decidedly unfounded.--
A friend of mine spoke with him on the
9th, and found him in high spirits.
