From the Waibinffton City Chronicle. Mount YuttWi'ins. Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the United States’ Frigate Java, Port Mahon, dated September 23, 1£29, to a Gentleman in this city. ♦*W arrived here a fear day* ago, frotn a pleasant cruise on the coast of Italy, Africa, &c. viaitiog the principal cities in the Wand of Sicily, Malta, Sic. bat ail I have wen bear* no comparison with the grand city of Naples, which forth* splendor of the scenery that sor rounds the ninny monuments of sndsnt pride and grandeur which are in it* vicinity, or tlg&Yices and luxuries of its court, itandipreeminent. On going Ushore, the first object to which we di rected our attentiop, was visiting the grand and noble theatre of St. Carlos, which surpasses? aoy thing I have ever seen in it* splendid and gaudy decorations and numerous company of perform ie. The first night I attended, there -was a medley of tragedy, comedy, &c. with a representation of the “Horrors of Hell,” ands the pleasures and happiness of “Paradise and -Heaven:” both representations passed off very well, And were good subjects for refiertidfi; but the sight of “Heaven” was pr4icu larfy impressive and fine. The viewof stars, and moons, and heavenly spheres revolving, was almost too daz (ling to look upon; and although there was a host of beauty and fashion around me, I ielt during the representation in- ' Sensible to tne charms of the fair, which wt other times, and under other circum stances. 1 iwv r felt so forcibly. The -garden of “Paradise” was displayed with, its beautifulfiowers, and the ap parenlly fairy things wbo were roaming through its shady bowers, appeared to me like enchantment; and I was almost disposed to leave my seat to find my way to the beautiful region. * “A* 15 o’clock at night, four of my brother offigan, with myself, left the city, and prcEnsded to a smill village at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, wrier* we procured asset, and, with our guides commenced our toilsome progress to the top of the mountain, among im mouse beds-tis lava, and on a road whose surface was much more brokeo and Uneven than any thing of the kind I had aver before seen. The night was rather daik, and at intervals we could see the grand and awful sight of Vesuvius, belching forth Us flames which it continues to do for months at a tisw. From being unaccustomed to it, we felt rathur insecure; and indeed when there was so many examples of its devasta lions around us, it is not to be wonder ed at, that we should think of apparent danger; Hut the inhabitants pay no kind of attention to it. On arriving at the permit's dwelling,which is on the spine, We {band the door closed, and all hand s wrapt in Sleep, (3 o’clok A. M.) We, however, soon induced the hermit to rise from his dumber*. We found with In several Russian officers, who were bound to the top of the mountain as well as ourselves; as it ufas very foggy, they had concluded oot to go, but we Yan kees were hot to be put off by trifles; go. afteyr efreshment, we proceeded on, and they followed, and alter one hour of great toil we reached the crater; — and indeed 4 considered myself wjsll compensated for the labor of ascending ‘‘The crater is very large, and is horrid in its appearance, and if any person now living supposes the gates of hell to lead from earth, 1 think this is the mos* probable spot It was smoking very much; and at times throwing up fiery cinders; and on too near, we were almost suffocated with the smell of sulpher. The prospect below us was very beautiful; indeed, we saw every thing within many miles around, including Naples, its beautiful bay, and the many pretty villages in Us vicinity Afrer remaining long enough to see ev ery thing satisfactory, we descended, in much less time han we had ascend ed. Oe our return, we visited the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which were destroyed by an eruption of the mountain in the year 79 of the Chris liau era. There are many splended retrains in Pompeii of its former mag nificence and grandeur, which I have not room, in the limits of a letter, to Mention; and in fact my powers of description are inadequate to the task.”
