700 or poO yards, and iimmediately opposite
the entrance lies another passage, which led
them into -what they called the lower cave,

this cave they discovered an aperture, which
' having ascended by q.flight of eight steps, a
^ sight .presented itself to their view capable
of impressing the strongest emotions of sur
prise and astonishment on the mind of the
spectator.' It would ha useless for me to at
tempt a description of this astonishing hall,
as nothing-less than' the descriptive powers of
a Sir Walter Scott could render it even .mod-
' crate justice ; suffice it'to say, that it is about
three miles.in circumference, supported, like
the other-gaves, with innumerable pillars, and
adorned with almost perfect imitations of all
that art and nature presents to our view.
. However, I cannot forbear remarking that in
' the centre of this magnificent hall, and de.
pending from.,its roof, appears a petrifaction
resembling the body of a * horse, through
which ..at the distance of fifteen feqt from the
floor, issues a stream of pure water, which,
after forming several evolutions on its crys-
-faltzed bed, disappears, with hollow murmur-
ings, at the furthest extremity of the hall.
Through an opening to the. right, in the last
mentioned hall, they descended, by a flight of I ions of the President and the views he meant

Explosion of the Steam Boat NxwEng.
LAND, AND GREAT .LOSS OF LIVES.-^-We gath.
er fiflnri a gentleman who visited the scene of
the disaster, the following particulars. : 1 On
Wednesday morning, about 3 olclock, while
the Steam Boat New England was engaged
in landing passengers at Essex, a small vil.
lage near the mouth of our river, both her
boilers exploded at the same instant. The
concussion was tremendous. Persons who
lived three miles from the place were awa.
kened from their sleep by the shaking of their
houses. * The whole of the upper works in
the centre and after part of the boat was shat,
tered to fragments, and with a great part of
the baggage of the passengers, scattered
to the four winds. The engine at the moment
was not in motion, and the Steamboat was ly.
ing about twice her breadth from the wharf.
The small boat was at the wharf to land a
passenger. He had stepped on- the wharf,
and was in the act of turning to go up, when
in an instant he found himself in the water
on the other side of the wharf, amidst the bro.
ken fragments. He escaped • uninjured.
Several were blown overboard from the boat
but were soon recovered. • Only one is yet
known to be missing though there may be
others.
The total number of deaths ascertained
amounts to 14—it is feared that three or four
more of them cannot recover.

The Stage was robbed near Richmond, on
the 13th. A trunk belonging to Mr. Hyde,
containing nearly 830,000, was taken by the
robbers ; of which 812,000 have been since
found in two packages, in a neighboring field,
evidently dropped by them in their retreat with
the booty. A black man hits been' arrested
under suspicious circumstances.—Geo. Cm.
The Frederjcksburg Stage was again rob.

coming too frequent. The Savannah Stage
was robbed within a mile of this city last week;

facilitate the discovery, nothing was said
about it at. that time -Ibid.
pectations were not a little raised on observing
among the memhers of the Society the zeal-
ous defender and supporter of the cause, who
has made, no small stir at home and abroad.
There seemed, however, to be a great de-
gree of quiet tranquillity pervading the whole
body of'members present, which I conclu
ded wrs but an omen of a coming storm, as I

several States to act in unison—and we are
surely not less a nation, now that a govern,
ment has been established to form a more
| perfect union, endowed with; al] thd . faculties J
which can constitute us a Ration in our rela
tions with foreign powers. ; Even before the
articles of confederation were formed in the
first paragraph of the declaration of indepen
dence, we were- proclaimed to be “one peo.
tachment after him, who are now absent.-
He also stated, that but for several persons
behind me, he would have shot me before he
sprung the mine. He is the most daring man
I have ever met-with, and one of the most
dangerous. The Indians are in great alarm
and' begged of me riot to leave them unless
he is taken. In all other cases I have had
no difficulty—compelling such as are pea
ceable to pay rents and damaged for their in-

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the ship John Jay, arrived at New-York, -
London papers of the evening of the 6th of
Sept, and Liverpool, of Saturday, the 7th;
and by the ship Albany, files of Paris papers
to the 4th Sept, have been received.
We have nothing of interest from the Con-
tinent of Europe. From England, we have
the most distressing accounts of the'disasters
by the late gales. A greater humber of lives
have been lost than has b'Serf Kno\hv for ma.
ny years ; the property lost.is also great.—
Some of the oldest underwriters say, that the
gale was the most severe they ever knew. ^
Spain.—King Ferdinand, at the latest dates
was still alive, but on a bear approach to the
grave. The political intrigues heretofore ad.
verted to, continued in foil operation.
Portugal—Nothing later from the capital
of this kingdom has been received- by this ar
rival. A vessel' had been despatched from
Lisbon with orders to bring thither the gar- '•
rison from Terceira. ,
There is no announcement of the recogni
tion of-Donna Maria, as Queen of Portugal
by the Government of France, although that
nfcasure was hourly expected.
A report had prevailed in London that Don
Miguel had retired into Spain, and that his ar
my was broken up; it was believed however,
that it was fabricated for stockjobbing pur
poses.
French Volunteers for Portugal.—-A gr^
nupiber of officers, not in active service, have-
lately applied to the mihister'of war in France
for leave to enter the service of Don Pedro;
their petition is said to have been favorably
received. .
Ftance.—The whole kingdom of France »
represented as in a state of repose, with scarce
ly a ripple of discontent to ruffle its surface.
This among a people so sensitive and mer
curial os the French, argues more favorably m
for the good government ofthe reigning ma- |
narch than we had been led to expect.
