FOREIGN APPAiriC.

Selectetl from Eastern Paper.

By some recent proceedings in the British flouse of Commons, we find that there was an appropriation made for charities in Ireland, of no less than 100,000 pound sterling nearly half a million of dollars. It was stated by Mr. Hume that the sum applicable to charities in Ireland, for the purpose of Education, was 340,000, or nearly one million four hundred thousand dot lars. Jour, It appears very evident, from all the accounts which we receive from the dominions of the Ottoman Porte, that it would be better policy for him to look (o his own territories, than further to attempt the reduction of the Greeks. V e learn from Aleppo, that the above named city suffers severely from incursions of the Arabs, who intercept the communication with the country, and have forced the inhabitants of the villages south of the citv to abandon

their habitatioi s. Tripoli is now, or has recently been, in a state of uproar and consternation the Anazi Arabs commit all

sorts of excesses between the towns of

Ilamma and Damascus; it is expected that a civil war will break out in the mountains of Lebanon. Accounts, by the way ot Persia, further represent that the Bedouins intercept the communications from Bagdad, bv whom the troops of the Pacha,

sent for their reduction, have been twice

Th Fmir Rfrhir is said to

have received instructions from Mehemct

Ali. Pacha of Eevpt, to attend henceforth

to his orders onlv, and not to those of Ab-

dallah Pacha, to whom he is also said to

have written, not to interfere in the affairs of Emir Bechir, on pain of incurring his

displeasure, and even threatening to send troops to take possession of St. Jean d'Acre. Upwards of 100 persons of distinction were strangled at Constantinople, in February, by order of the Sultan, on suspicion of being concerned in exciting discontent among the Janizaries! The greatest preparations are making at Constantinople for the next campaign. The. Turkish ai d Egyptian fleets will rendizu at Rhodes. The plague has sub sided at Smyrna. The Greek admiral. Miaulis, has captu

ratras. At Paris is an establishment for making crooked people straight. The Edinburgh newspaper proprietors intend to petition to Parliament for a reduction of the duties on their papers and advertisements. Bolivar. The Washington City Gazette states, on the authority of a gentleman direct from Lima, and who as late as the 1st of February, had an interview at that capital with Bolivar, that the Liberator appeared to be in a feeble state of health, sallow visage, and of a very thin person. The fatigue and privations of his last campaigns had made serious inroads on his constitution, which was formerlv robust. He was alu ut to return to Colombia for the restoration of his health arid consequent repose, frrm the toils of the field. This intention had been delated in order to witness the fall of Calloa, and tc organize a government adapte d to the yet unsettled state ol Peru. He was received with great enthusiasm in Lima, and was visited everv dav by crowds of the cilizet s,

with whom he was very popular, and unos tentatious in his behaviour; he was gener

ally attended by an aid-de-camp, a son of

Sir Robert ilson. At proper hours none

were denied admittance to his presence,

and he conversed affably with all who approached him. The army which surrendered at Avacucho had rmbaiked, and were last seen steering for the Manilla. Our naval efficers who visited Lima, distant from the coast 12 miles, were well received arid permitted free egress and ingress without passports. The U. S. uniform, when recognized by the guards, was sufficient. Guayaquil. Extract of a letter from an American in Guayaquil: " have been here abount twenty days. The city is situated on a river of the same name, about 50 miles from the sea, and is by tar the best

port on the coast. A frigate of the largest class may come up to the city. The country abounds in ship timber, and many vessels are built here. The climate is perpetual summer, and rains are here common, although, fifty leagues south, at Payta, in Peru, a shower was never knovu; to fall. The Salem Observer says: The writer is mistaken here. Rain, it is true.

is considered as a prodigy in Pay la, as well as in many other parts c f South America, hut it has been known to rain there. About a hundred years ago, a small quantity fell, and many of the buildings were ruined by it, being built of mud. "The latitude ol Guayaquil is 2 10 south, ajii ts iongitudc about 70 45 west. Be

ing so near the equator, it is of course, always hot; but its rich soil, so unlike the barren coast of Peru, produces all kinds of fruits in great abundance. Although we are so hear the equator, we sometimes see the winter garments of N. England spread Upon the neighboring mountains. In clear weather, the celebrated Chimborazo may be seen from the city , situated in latitude 1 30 south, covered with eternal snows. The rays of the vertical sun of its double summer fall upon its ices as harmless and

ineffectual as the lightnings of heaven upon the magical rod of Franklin." An article from Madrid plates, that some serious disturbances bad broken out in the barracks of the Royal guard, where the soldiers of a battalion, discontented, because the term of their service had been extended, uttered cries in favor of the constitutional system. Peru. A letter dated "Lima, January 29th,v gives the following interesting intelligence:

The following 'is from the log-book of the Accession (Roddam, master,) which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, bound to Hamburgh, last from Bahia to which city she had put back to land forty-two African slaves, rescued from a slave ship, name unknown, which the Accession had fallen in with about 500 miles from the coast of Brazil. The ship was on her beams ends, surrounded by innumerable sharks, and, on rearing her, discovered a number of Africans on the forecastle i being the only port of the ship above water, the men succeeded in getting thirty ofthc m safe on board the Accession, and they made signs that the sun had et three times since the vessel had been upset. Bv considerable exertion, the master of the Accession, cut a hole in the broadside of the vessel, and discovered in the hold a

mass of dead negroes and c asks of palm oil, and to Ins utter astonishment, had the happiness of rescuing ten more miserable Africans.

OLDEN TIMES. The following extracts, from an interesting historical work, recently published in New-Hampshire, by N. Adams Esq. will aflord amusement to the reader.In the year 1649, the governor, deputy gov. and magistrates formed an association for

the purpose of preventing the w earing of

long hair, and the followtrg w as one ol the articles they signed. Sahm Cbsernr. ''Forasmuch, as the wearing long hair, after the manner of rufliane and barbarous

Indians, has begun to invade New-England, ; contrary to the rule of God's word which ! says it is a shame for a man to wear long

hair, as also the commendable custom generally of all the godly of our nation until these few years. ' We the magistrates who have subscribed this paper,(fr the show ing of our own innocency in this behalf,) do declare and manifest our dislike or detestation against wearing of such long hair, as against a thing uncivil and unmanly, whereby men do deform themselves, and

! clT nd sober and modest men, and do corj rupt good manners. We do therefore

earnestly entreat all the elders ol tins jurisdiction (as often as they shall see cause) to manifest theii zeal against it, in their public administrations, ar.d to take care that the members of their respective churches, be r ot defiled therewith, that so, such as shall prove obstinate, and will not rcfoim themselves, may have God ai d irian to witness against them."

Thompson's island. The captain of the

pirates captured by the bea uuluhad clicci j of his wounds, and it w as believed that the i rest would soon be tried by a military commission at Havana. The c-fficers and crews of the squadron were generally in good health. No reports of recent acts of

piracy. Jiles. A writer in the Pittsburgh G.izette gives the following brief hints to wool growers which we re-published for the bene fit of all concerned. JVat. hit, "As the prosperity of a country must always depend on the quantity of saleable commoditie's produced, it is highly importHiit that wool growers would piepare their wool by washing, at least on the sheep's back, and removing the hip locks, tag-locks, and dirt. There is no doubt but any quantity of Meiino wool washed and tagged, would find a ready sale, if not it Pittsburgh, in Philadelphia averaging about 5b cents, and the operation of the new tariff will enhance the price.'1 Rfd Rivff. The commissioners who have examined Red river to ascertain the best mode of rendering it navigable, have found that the expense of clearing it ol the timber with which it has long been encumbered, would be far greater than that required for cutting a canal across the bend. It appears that the Great Raft, which covers the surface for about sixty leagues, proves to he ccn.posed of a great many small rafts, which it would be extremely difficult to remove. The proposed car.al might be performed by the troops now stationed in the vicinity, at very little expense to the United States Silk cotton of Colombia. The Savannah Georgian has received from a gentleman in the country, a spec imen of a particular kind of cotton, w hich is prcduetd in the republic of Colombia, near Bogota, the capital. It is of an extremely soft and perfectly silky texture and glossy appearance, of a short staple and dark or dingy color. We are informed that it grows on a tree of considerable height, different from our plant. The cotton grows round the seed, in something like the shape of a pine-apple, so that when picked it requires no ginning. The Indians wnk it into shawls, &lv, and a quantity has been sent to Franc e, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it cannot be incorporated in the manufacture of silk goods. A gentleman of Georgia hjis planted a small quantity of the seed, by way of experiment. V Bait. Patriot,

Four or five y ears ago. most of the cotton consumed in Illinois ar.d Mittouii, was brought from the lower country. Its cultivation has since been attempted in eac h state, and proved successful beyond expectation. The importation of it ceased of course, hut owing to the low ness of price in foreign markets, the raising of it has been limited to heme consumption.. We would again impress upon the minds of the Inimeii of Illinois, the advantage to
