Jan. 29 1821 AETNA, a famous vol. in tic or burning mountain in JSjcilv, situated on the eastern coast, not far from Caiana. Th i lieispth of this mountain i above ten thousand feet, above the surface of the sea, and j it cirm inference, at the base is om? hundred and eighty mj'les. Over its sides are seve ty 8-ven cities, towns, and villages, the number f inhabitants of which is about' one hundred and fifteen thousand. From O itana to the sumnit is the distance of thirty miles, & the traveller must pass through three distinct climates,' which may be denominated the torrid, the temperate, and the f igid. Accordingly, the whole mountain is divided into three distinct regions, callejl the fertile the woody, and the baren. The first, or the lAwcst region, extends throughan interval of ascent from twelve to eighty miles. The city of Cataca and several villages are situated in this first zne; and it abounds, in pastures, orchards, and various kinds jif fruit trees. Its grat fertility is ascribed to the decomposition of lavy, and of those vegetables, which have been introduced hv the arts of agriculture, and the exertions of hum .nil industry. The fig, and iht' fruit in general, in this region, are reckoned the finest in Sicily. The lava in this region fl.nvs from a number of small mountains, which are dispersed nver the immense declivity of AS'na. The woody region, or temperate zone, extends fmm ciht to ten miles in a direct line, towards the top of the mountain ; it comprehends a surface of about forty or forty fn e square leagues .It forms h zone of the brightest green all round the mountain, which exhibits a pleasing contrast in the white and huary head of the mountain. It is called the woody region, be-cvu-e it abends with oaks, beeches, and firs. The noil it

similar to that of the lower region. The air here is cool and refreshing every breeze is loaded with a thousand perfumes, the whole ground being covered over with the riches aromantic plants. Many parts of this region are the most heavenly spots upon earth; J$if Actus resemble bell withiu, it may with equal justice be said to resemble paradise without. The upper region, called the frigid zone, is marked out by a circle of snow and ice. The surface of this zone is for the most part flat and even, aud the approach to it is indicated by the decline of vegitation, by uncovered rocks of lava & heaps of sand, by near views of an expanse of now and ice, aud Of torrents of smoke issuing from the craterof the m u it.uo. and ly the 'difficulty and danger of advancing, atuidsts trciims of inciting snow, sheets of ice, and gu ts Of chilling vvind. The curious traveller, however, thinks iiimsclf amply recompensed, upotigaining the sum nit, fur the H ril which he has euc wintered. At night the number of stars seems increased, and their light appears brighter than usual. The lus re of the raiiky way is like a pure fUme that Shoots across the heavens, aud with the naked eye we may oilserve clusters of stars totally invisible in the lower region i. The scorije of which the mountain is composed have the same kind of base, containing shorls and feitspurs.

"THE REFORMER." THE design of this work is to ex pose ti.e clerical schemes and pompous undertakings of the present day, unier pretence of promoting religion, and to show that they arc irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the gospel. The great Missio .aiy operations which commenced a few years since, and the numerous Theological Seminaries erected, and which are still erecting in every part ol our country, have tended to the exaltation of an order of men to a heigiu noi warranted by the New-Testament. Their numbers arid influence are rapidly extending throughout all parts of the community, and threaten thedestru lion ot onr civil and religious liberties By mean , either direct Or indirect, they are suai!ily advancing their caue, and th -ir asci ndancy over the minus of the peoplv : and at no distant pei jod, should tn.ir u fluence t onimuc to increase, scarcely an indicia will be l'oad willing to ticur the haznd of opposi- g uny ot ttieir se'; ..nies Tim pernicious ( ffoiis of r'e u al domination in this tounuy, mjy mfi md fn-m ihe History of o er cuwui -S, tind ugnt early to bs g irded against'.

PTIOPOSALS, BVELEAZER vvheelock, for publishing by subscription, at Bloommgton, Monroe County, Indiana, a Weekly Aewsiufier, to be entitled The Bloomington Clarion. IN submitting to me public a prospectus of the publication of a periodical work, it has been the custom, and it is believed the duty ot the proposed Editor, to give, without reserve, a cor rect statement of the principles by which it is to be governed ; but, as little confidence is generally placed on promises contained in addresses soliciting public patronage, the Editor will content himself by giving a brief outline of the manuer in which his paper is to be conducted. The greatest exertions will be made to obtain, from the best sources, and by the most regular modes ot transmission, the news of the day, both. Foreign and Domestic ; and to publish them in the " Clarion. " witU promptness and discrimination; and ijom the present prospect of political aftVirs, in our own country as well as abroad, there is no reason to doubt but that its columns will be copiously supplied with interesting matter. Miscellaneous matter, Agricultural, Religious, Moral, Speculative and Amusing, shall be judicionsly selected in times of dearth of news. The columns of the "Clarion" shall be free for a dispassionate discussion of all political subjects, national and local. It is believed that such subjects, can always undergo better investigation without that display of the bittctnes8 of invective too often manifest in public Journalsevery thing, therefore, which, in the opinion of the Editor; shall be calculated to excite personal animosity, shall be undeviatirigly refused publication. TERMS OF PUBLICATION.
