From ihe Sntnnf.iy Evening Pot. The aspect of affurs in Havti, although it would seem that some apprehensions were manifest from the preparations for d efence which are making against the threatened invasion by France, is such- as affrd strong reasons for inducing the oppressed children of Africa to retire there, and partake of the free and hospitable asvlum which in the fu Host belief that it will be peaceable and l isting, is otfered to them all. The measure which have been carried into effect by President Beyer to prevent any ill consequences from the sudden aggression of the French arms.are wise and judicious and while they 'prepare the Republican troops to check every encroachment on the rights of the nation, it will, also enable them to repel an attack, should the enemy dare to set foot upon the peaceful .-bores of Havti. We calculate that no diminution will be seen in the numbers who are making their arrangements to emigrate to this land of promise. On the c ontrary the de-ire is increasing, and will become more general when the fact is better known. The ship Armata, which W is chartered at Baltimore to take out three hii' aired persons within a few das pat. received her complement immediately .at d forty or tiftv applications above that number were rejected, as the vessel did not aff rd accommodations for more. Thiemigration consists of the most respectable c I ur d people, many of whom have left tfi ir wives, children at d families, with an ii let lion of rehir icg fr tin m if their expectations are real zed.

Picture of a Dutch Village. The little village of Brock, is the most remarkable thing we have yet seen in Holland: cverv corner of it is kept as clean as it is possible to make it, and the streets arc paved with bricks of various colors, which are arranged in the most fanciful figures imaginable. Brock exhibits the Dutch character in perfection. The inhabitants are generally opulent; and here they live separated from the world, and have scarce-

j 1 v any intercourse with society. They

have no wish but to continue always in the same state of ind lence and inactivity . All the windows that look. into the little streets, if indeed they can be called streets, (for a carriage is never allowed to enter them,

, lest they should be made dirty) are coverj ed with blinds or closed up by window 'shutters. Even house has two door-, one of which is opened only on three occasions, j a birth, a death, or a marriage; and no

stranger is ever allowed to see the inside of these singular hermitages. With great difficulty we procured access to the gardens of one of the principal habitants which we minutely examined. In everv direction we found canals, the banks of which were covered with (lowers, i:c. The trees in the village are cut in the form of fans, ami into various other fantastical shapes. In 01 little garden we observed the box wood cut in the shape of tables, foxes, peacocks. Sec. The doors of one of the houses was finely gilded and richly embossed. Mr. Ogg told us that a clergv man, who had been but a short time settled in the village, found, to his regret, the number of his auditors gradually diminish, till at last hut a few remained. He redoubled his application to his sermon-, a d made them as perfect as he could; but all to no purpo-e. Finding his endeavors to bring hat k the people ineffectual.be at last asked one of the deacons what detained his parishioner- from church, where in former times, (heir attendance u-ed to beso regular? The deacon replied, Our lormer clergymen alwavs took off their shoes when thev wa nt to the pulpit, and if you follow the same plan, the people will soon return. The rernedv was used and proetl effectual. J ntrnal of .Mr. Jlofsm IC1C.

We rejoice to bear that the famous Canaris is not dead, as has been stated. It is known that the Greeks have long complained that the neutral English, Ausrians and other christians, have hired their vessels to the barbarians for the transport of troops, ammunition and supplies, which they were afraid to adventure in their own ships and that complaint not having availed them any thing, they ordered the capture of such vessels as of their enemies and, we must need think, rightly subjected them to the common fate that would attend a really Turkish ship, if taken by them.
