one runs nearly parallel and within a half a mile or posite side. It is a hard levin, of reddish coloured land, irregular or mixed figure, eatest length is from Rbrthto south-east, and its circumce full thirty mires. This is entirely covered in dry hot her, from two to six inches . with a crust of clear white of a quality rather superior, I to the imported blown la this state the Saline

into two unequal parts, one fifth or about 1 00 acres, being at the south-west side, close under a tremendous hill, from the base of which issue several springs of salt water, which gradually covers the plain, and, by the action of the sun, is, in hot seasons converted into a solid mass ot salt, several inches in thickness. There are also within this plain four springs of salt water perfectly saturated, around which are formed hollow cones of rock salt from 12 to 20 inches in thickness When I visited this Saline it had just been inundated by excessive rains and all the salt was swept off, except ... f r

From what 1 saw myself, and what my faithful Indian guide told me on the spot, and had often told me before, I have not the least doubt but there arc times when this whole section, next the hills,. is covered completly with a solid rock of salt from 4 to 1 9 inches thick, and, immediately around the four springs, it to 20. inches; resembling afield of ice in large flakes. The other section produces salt exactly like that of the Grand Saline. The country around the Rock Saline, is very mountainous, and the Saline can be approached only on foot or (with some diftcuity) on horseback.' You have a speciman of the salt which I gat at this Saline from one of tiie springs, therefore I need not describe it. ' G.SIBLEY. Col. Rccaor. July 29 l8l

The brig Tom Hazard, captain Holdridge, is below, in 39 days from Liverpool. She brings London dates to the 2d and Liverpool to the 4th of March. Her letter bags are not yet delivered at the postollke- We have received one packet of our London papers, but none of our Lloyd's or Shipping Lists. The prominent articles of intelligence by this arival relate to the death of the king of Sweden, & an attempt made at Paris on the life of the duke of Wellington. In relation to the latter event, a letter from Paris which will be found below, contains all the particulars we have yet received. Respecting the former, our latest London Courier thus remarks: "The death of the king of Swe-A-n ; an event of more interest
