of Yesterday. nnhlished the following let

Of yesterday, published the following let
ter from, I'iflis, August Is: 8 You have,
doubtless, heard of the terrible earthquake
of Mount Ararat, which has totally de-,
stroyed the town of Makitcheman, dam
aged all the buildings at Erivan, and de-
vastated the two districts of Sharour and
Sourmate, in Armenia. All the villages
in those districts have been destroyed.
The earth is rent in such manner, that all
the cotton and rice plantations have per-
ished for want of water. But the most
awful event has taken place in the neigh
borhood of Mount Ararat. A considera-
BILE mass was loosened from the mountain,
and destroyed every thing in its way for
the distance of seven wersts, (nearly five
English miles
Among others, the great village Of Ak
houli has had the fate of Herculaneum
and Pompeii. Above 1000 inhabitants
were buried under heaps of rocks.
Advices from St. Petersburg Of the I'd
inst. estimates about 100 the number of
lives lost in consequence of the catastro-
phe which occurred on the 25th ult. on
the Czarkskojesselo railway.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP PRESIDENT.
The President arrived at New York
about two hours after the news had been
received by the Acadia, but bringing no
later news, having left Liverpool three
days previous to the sailing of the Acadia.
The following is the only additional news
of any Importance:
IMPORTANT FROM CHINA. Extract of a
letter dated Bombay, July %, at 9 o'clock
in the evening, received by the Mediter-
ranean packet:
"The steamer is already under weigh
and dropping down, but | will try to
catch her with 3 lines, to say that Prl-
vate express from Calcutta has arrived,
which states that intelligence has been
received there from China, by the steam
err Enterprise, of the arrival of part OF the
expedition in the Canton river, and of the
total destruction of the forts of the Bocco
Tigris. We shall know the truth Of it i'll
a day or two; it is doubted by none.''
The following, from correspondent OF
the London Standard, in addition to the
above:
81 send you i'll haste the accompanying
extract of a letter from Bombay. received
by friend Of mine in Lverpool-'After
the vessels had destroyed the forts of the
Bogue at the entrance Of the Bocca Tigris
some troops and seamen were sent on
shore to put them in state of defence
against the Chinese. The expedition
then proceeded towards Whampoa, hav-
ing pressed two Chinese pilots, but on
reaching the Second Bar, the passage for
large vessels was impeded by the Chinese
having taken the precaution to sink some
large junks-however, the smaller vessels
and steamers will almost Immediately
proceed with a strong military force TO
raze Canton to the ground.

GENERAL VAN buren,. The N. York
Commercial says, that the Virginian who
recently, at public festival, intended to
compliment the President, by giving as a
toast:-"Martin Van Buren,: His services
in the Cabinet equal his achievements in
the 6eld,' has been out done. At meet.
ing of the Germans in Buffalo, favorable
to the administration, a few days ago, one
of the orators stated in speech, "during
the battle of the Thames, General Harri-
son was taken prisoner by General Proc
tor, and that he was rescued by GEN
ERAL Van Buren,, who commanded the
reserve, and who, by rapid and mastery
movement. advanced upon the enemy,
retook the General, changed the fortunes
of the day, and achieved the victory!"
What is still better, the assertion was re-
ceived as gospel by the meeting. We
opine that even General! Van Buren, will
laugh at his own proves on that occa-
sion.
