FOREIGN ilFF-C-r-S

Selected from Eastern Papers. There is a report that tho island of Hay ti is blockaded by a French fleet this is nut probable. The Burmese war appears to have been concluded, after a

great loss ol lile to both paiues, and me

diction, actually held by the colony over this .whole district of country. It is there

fore confidently believed that this odious traCic is Jbrever banished by these measures from 300 miles cf coast. The trafjc of the natives is consequently turned into a new channel, and fowls, vegetables, cattle, and rice, in hitherto unknown abundance, are now brought to the American

obtaining of much plunder by the British, j Colony.

The Burmese were also to give up foiirjj h is a circumstance," says Mr. Ashprovinccs,and pay 100 lacs of rupees. A m mun, "you will learn with pleasure, that

Sicca rupee, in which the accounts or me East India company is kept, is commonly reckoned at 2s. 6J, sterling the lac is

100.000, a core is 100 lacs or 10,000,000. The lac, for ordinary purposes, may be estimated as being equal to 50,000 dollars. We have not an) thing of a decisive character from Greece or concerning the Greek?. 1 he Turks were about to despatch a very powerful fleet against the islands especially Hydraand Spezzia. Ibrahim remained at Patras, apparently so exhausted by his losses at Missolonghi, as to be reduced to the defensive. Miaulis is said to have made some valuable captures of vessels from Egypt. Tripoliz a has surrendered to Coloctroni. Much dissension is reported as existing among the Greek chiefs. The. national assembly at Epidarus, has forwarded a document to the British minister at Constantinople, requesting his mediation to bring about a peace, and offering terms on which the Greeks will agrce which amount to this thM Greece shall 1m independent of and separated from Turkey, except in the payment of a tribute Ypsil luti lias protested against this act ai.d declares hirmelf for absolute independence, saying, "it is easy at all times to be a slave, but dilhYult to become free,' and calls the people to arms. Five sacks of head-'KJears of Geeks slain at Missolong hi had arrived at Constantinople (dps have been preferred by the officers of another legitimate" government, neatly parked in hales. Turkey appears to have iulh accepted the terms proposed by Russia, there is no hope of an t llort uf the latter to n li ve the Greeks. The Archi

pelago abounds with piratical vessels, manned by the Greeks. The Liverpool Courier of the Mill. spaking ol Greece, say s, nothing is presented in thi ill-fated country but strange pit tores of dissensions and union; of the noblet heroism and the the basest treachery; of all that is great and mean in human nature. But to what

all the late emigrants from North Carolina,

ot all ages and habits, have got safely through the slight fever which assailed them, without a single exception. -The Rev. Mr. Holton is far advanced in convalescence, and a commodious School house, of two ground apartments, is building by the people, for additional schools in the Colony. Captain Chase and Cotterell, of the Colombian service, have recently been upon the coast, and chased away almost

every Guinea-man, known to be between Sierra Scone and Cape Palmas. To the ! former officer, the American colony h indebted for the liberal donation of 30 stands

! of arms, C casks of gunpowder, and several i valuable articles of provisions.7' i j From the Geniii? of Universal Emancipation. I PORTA U-PKLNCK. i Port au Prince, the seat of government , of the Republic of Ila ti, is situated in an ; extensive alley , at the head of a large bay, on the western side of the island. The valley is here about ten or twelve miles wide and is bounded by ridges of lofty mountains, both to the north, and the south, which approach nearer each other as they extend castwardly, until the passage between them becomes very nairow. It is on the south side ot thi alley that the cit

is located. On approaching it by water, I

its situation appears low, and of course rather unpleasant. The site is nearly a level, gently rising from the waters edge for some distance, and immediately back of the improvements the ground is considerably elevated. The lii'h mountains.risinrr

to a great altitude almost from the margin .of the bay and extending in a direct line j above the city farther than the eye can ! reach, gives to the scenery a romantic ap- j pe. i ranee. j The houses in Port an Prince are princi j pally constructed of wood, many of them j but one story high, with large piazas in I in front.

North Carolina. The Fayetteville paper says that district of country is in a

state of extreme distress in consequence of the continued drought, which exceeds that ot'iuiy former season which can be remembered. The streams have been so dry, that people have gone 40, 50 and cvcii 60 miles to get their corn ground. The consequent high price of provisions had caused great suwering among the more indigent of community. "Few persons, (say s the editor,) in town, can be aware of a fact which we heard from undoubted authority, that a whole family in this vicinity has been found preparing a little thin gruel, as the only provision for a sick man, his wife and five children, who knew not where they wen.' to get even that much for their next meal!'
