GIBRALTAR. Extract of a letter from an Jlmerlcan gentleman, on a Mediterranean tour, tj his friend in Washington city. LEGHORN, MAT, 7, 1319. I remained 12 day3 in Gibraltar, so cc-lehrati-d for its strength, and the siege of 3 veat which it sustained, tinder the command of Gen. IClliot. I wished much that you had been with me, to view, with a military eye, that astonishing fortres most certainly the strongest in the world. Nature has done much for it, but art has done wonders. The situation ot the rock is hihly curious, and the most favorable in the world for a fortress. As it may amuse you for a moment, I will add some few memoranda I made of this celebrated spot. The rock is 7 miles in circumference, ami 1 100 feet above the level of the sea. Irs name is derived from Jibel-Tarf, which signiSes, ;:i the Moorish language, the mountain of Tarif, from the name of the Moorish commander Tarif, who took posssession of it in T20, and built a fortress and walls round a part of it, and which are still to be seen, in a decaved state. It changed masters several times, till the English, in 1704, took it

A good newspaper is almost equal to a school. A thousand facts useful and pleasing to know, are learned and treasured up, and the perivn can hardly tell w here they have obtained them there is scarcely an intelli
