ia too much reason to believe that the pack
Ell ship Erie has foundered at sea On the French
coast, somewhere in the vicinity OF Havre.
The Erie was commanded by Capt. Samuel
Funk. There were but two passengers, as
tits said. "A letter, we learn, has been re-

the following is added:
"Captain Carpenter announces that large
American vessel is lost"
Many other vessels are also stated by name
to be lost. but more on later day than the
25th. A letter from an officer Of the gov.

A correspondent of the Alexandria Gaz.

A correspondent of the Alexandria Gaz.
residing in Fauquier county, gives a most
unfavorable account OF the growing wheat
crop in that quarter. In describing the ap-
pearance Of the fields he says
Here, the eye in its rambles is greeted
by nothing save the yellow and red surface
of our well ploughed fields-not pa,ch-not
a point-not foot of green in ten miles
square. And when you examine the ground
moro infinitely, nothing can be found, ex-
cept, occasionally, a few stems of wheat a
bout the size Of a pin and even these inaica-
tions Of joyous harvest, stand at such an
unsociable distance from each other, that a
nlfgrown rabbit could hardly jump from

considered quite an exaggeration, but l can
