Rhode Island. On the island of Rhode Island, which is eleven miles long, and five miles broad, there are 700 miles of double wall, (separating plantations and fields) from 4 to five feet high, most of which is handsome and in excellent order. This wall has all been built within 190 years, anil the expense of building it is estimated to have cost mote than the whole island would sell for, land and buildings The wall, if it were in one direct line, would reach from the town of Newport, on Rhode Island, to Michigan territory. The lots on the island are under a high state ol cultivation, and it may be ttuly said to have an aspect like the garden of Eden. In this island, there arc 55 square miles ; and perhaps in no part of the world are there more products of the eaith raised for man and beast, than arc on this island, annually, within the same compass of ground Resides all this, it is
as healthy a place as any in this country, and a more delightful summer lesidcncc cannot be found on the globe. Xevj York.

In addition to w hich, the constitution provides that the proceeds of all lands belonging to this state, which shall here
after be sold or disposed of, shall belong to the fund for the support of common schools.' These lands are, according to a report of the surveyor general, compu

of the high price of provisions, and the misery of the ptople, in many places, has almost driven them to madness Many thousands are in a state bordering on starvation but we have " bread enough and to spare," if England would receive it from uk, Siain has agreed to pay the dey of Algiers 6000,0-o reals as the price of peace.

St. Anne's near Lepanlo, March 14. Missolonghi has fallen. That heroic city, which for eighteen months had defeated the power of the infidels and lepulsed S2 attacks, tras taken by storm on the 10th. Poor St Aubyn fell on theoccasi on, but he died nobly On the 7th, while we were rejoicing for our late victory, I brahitn having been reinforced by 7000
great Church, but the doors being forced and most of his men being killed or wounded, he sprung the mine, which destroyed
both that and the citadel, ovcwhelming himself ann 2000 Turks in one tremenduous ruin. The enemy having now entire possession of the hard fought town, wc collected about three thousand of the brave fellows who had fought so well, and after a hard contest, we succeeded in cutting our way out, leaving them in possession of a heap of ruins, which I have learned has cost Ibrahim nine thousand of his best troops in the last attack alone. I joined Gen Gouras on the 1 2th ; with 2500 wren, 1 50 prisoners, 6 cannons, and 9 standards taken from the enemy duiing the last fatal attack. Wc brought the body of ht. Aubyn off with us, which w ill be interred to day with military honors.
