foreign Intelligence. Continuation of Foreign Summary f r oro the English paper* received by the Kuphra te*, at the office of the National Advo cate . An earthquake took place at Batavia on | the 29th ol December last, which occasioned immense damage; the >ea roue to a prodigi ous height, and then falling with incredible rapidity, d< utroyed all the plantations, and ■wept off'many of the inhabitants. In Staffordshire, England, four men and five youths fell a sacrifice to foul air in one of the coal pit* on the 13th September. The men whose duty it was to keep the mines clear, had neglected this and gone to the races. A fstlier, two sons, and a grandson, were among the unfortunate sufferers. When the assizes for Merioneth came on it Dolgtdly, in Wales, there was neither prisoner nor cause ! 'I he commission was ne.tt opened at Carmarthen, where there was not one prisoner for trial, either for the county or horougli ! We observe, by the Liverpool paper*, that the two Esquimaux Indian*, lately in ties city, had arrived there, and were ad vertised for exhibition. The widow of Chris tophe anti her two daughter* had also reach ed F.ngland, A true bill for libel ha* been found by the London grand jury, against the Times newspaper, for publishing the speech o; Mr. Waithmau at the common hall, in which he indulged in some rancorous and scurrilous abuse of Mr. J. H Sharp, the secretary of the constitutional association. Lord Cochrane is staled to be deeply en gaged to working the copper mines of Chili, where Eng.ish artificers ami machinery are employed in converting litis metal into in gots, which are expected to be forwarded to England fur sale in Chilian vessel*. A case occurred at the Union Hall police Loudon, which excited auch extraordinary interest that the office and every avenue leading to it, an Well as the dwelling house of the accused, w ere besieged with immense ciowdaof people. An undertaker nulled Cundickc had been entrusted with the body ol a man who had been executed, and had received L 3 <ir IA sterling, to p»y the charges of burying it. Some of the friend* of the culprit having exprrssetl a u i«b to attend the funeral, they were led to enter tain some suspicious of the undertaker, i t eo isqquence ol hi* giving evasive answers a* to period of interment. At last, and after watching 'for some time, they taw a coffin brought out of the Itou e ol Mr. Cuu dicke on the shoulders of two men, which, it was contained the remains of the de ceased. I lie pr cession in veil on lu the burying ground ; but such was the prrcipi talion with wh c t the funeral had been car ried on, ttiat tut grave wu»scarcely huh dug, and the coffin was laid on the ground till it was finished During this inlet vul, the frit uds ol the deceased b -gged tu see the body before it via, consigned to the earth ; but their wish w as opposed by the undertak er, on the ground that it was nearly in a state ot putrefaction.

The undertaker narrow lay escaped with Ilia lite, amt was obliged to take shelter in Horsenumgei -lane p isoij, from the lury ot the mob. On being brought before a inugstrate, he was ordered to tiud bail for Ins appearance when called upon. Theatrical. —A new and most succes.lul farce has been brought out at Drury lane, entitled Ahnsitntr 'l'oimun, founded on the well known humorous poem hearing that name. From the manner in which it has bten dramatised, litis piece promises to be come as popular as ita urigmal. In order to appropriate the tale, the persecutor of the poor Frenchman, who, in the poem, is singly represented by the fadclious Turn King, .a multiplied into a diversity of char acters and interests. The hustle is thus con stantly kept up, and Jhuucur I'tmmn ap pear* to the eyes of the '.err fled French man in twenty different shapes, who having no connection or knowledge ol the pursuits of each other, are equally surprised by me abuse with which (hey are assailed (or the commission ul deeds of which they have no knnwd Ige.

Every thing bids fair that the Work will meet with a brilliant success. The river Htiine broke through the dikes st Lausanne, in the month of August last, and occasioned great distress to the inhabi tants residing on its banks, three of whom. were drowned. As the harvest was stand ing, much apprehension was entertained for the crops. The road to the Orisons had been swept away, and the vast plains in the neighborhood were converted into an im mense lake, in which several villages were seen, like islands, rearing their heads, and expected every moment to be completely submerged. The damage was incalcula ble. STATISTICAL DETAILS ON PARIS.

A stranger on looking around on the sands of Pensacola, and the neighboring sterile pine lands, very naturally asks where is the back country to support this place ’ j Having described the town and immediate licimty, 1 will now endeavor to answer this ■ reasonable question. I: is true the tract of pine woods between, the Perdido and the Escambia, can giv* sup ■ port to a vey thin population, and can be employed to very little advantage except for rearing stock, or for the immediate supply of the market. The same thing may be said, with slight exceptions, of the shores of the bay, of the peninsula on the other side, and of the country on the Perdido. Ihe produce of the pine forest, in lumber, turpentine, and tar, may perhaps amount to something, but upon this 1 do not found any sanguina calculation. The back country of Pensacola is at a considerable distance, but from its situation is as naturally connected, as if that distance were much less. The lands upon the Conecuh, and on its Western branches; Murder creek, Sepulgus, and Burnt Corn, are of the first quality, and in bodies suffi. cienttv extensive to support a respectable seaport. Settlements have been formed witiiin two or three years, in this part of th* state of Alabama, and it was confidently cal culated, that nearly ten thousand bales of cotton would be brought from them, from Fort Dale, Sec. to Pensacola this season. The Conecuh discharges a larger body of water than the Delaware—it affords good navigation for two or three hundred miles, and when a few obstructions shall be remov ed, occasioned by fallen trees, the navigation will be as good as that of the Alabama. It 13 supposed that a great part of the produce of Montgomery county, will find its way to market by this river. The branches of the Conecuh, just mentioned, are all navigable, the Sepulgus, which is the largest, forty or fifty miles, even in its present state, hut it will be navigable much further on clearing out the channel, as there is no deficiency of , water. There are several hundred thousand acres of good upland on their waters, and in the course of a few years the country will contain a large and wealthy population. Al most every week boats are seen here laden with produce from these settlements, and occasionally some cotton ; but the season has not yet arrived tor the planters to send their crops to market: and from the last accounts, it appears that the rot will lessen the quanti ty calculated on, but there is no doubt it will he considerable. Tile lands for some distance up the Escam bia, perhaps for fifty miles, are very low near the river, and are subject to be inun . dated, iltliougls the bottoms are very wide, 1 and covered with the finest timber, of every ' description. Above the junction of the Es cambia with the Conecuh, the lands on this river become better adapted to cultivation ; the Conecuh is the principal stream, the former is 111 fact of but little importance. X have no doubt but that in a few years, steam boats will be introduced 0.1 the'kscambia or Conecuh, and will ply regularly between this place and the falls of Conecuh, or some other point on the river, where product can be shipped to Pensacola.—Thus we have a back ; country, which we can with safety depend upon, to give us in the course ofa few years, exports to the amount of a million of dollars. I But this is not the only hope of Pensacola, j '* he lands on the Choctauhatchv, a liter : which discharges itself into St. Kosa’s bay, i are known to be fertile. It ha- been latey explored by several gentlemen from A abama, part of whom crossed the Conecuh, and the Follow Water, and part ascended the sound to the entrance of the Bay of St. Rosa. They report very favorably of the country, and the prevailing opinion at present is, that there are extensive bodies of good lands upon the rivers just mentioned. The produce of those* lands will ot course be brought to Pen sacola, and will encrease its commerce. Be yond this country, (he Appelachi cula, there is a large body of fine land, cal.ed the Chipola, siioaied upon a river of that name, but which is not traced upon any map. I lie produce of this country will also be brought to Pensacola, either by the Ap pelachccola, or rhe Chaciaw batchy; the set tlements will at all events, be more or less dependant on this place. Thus, if we were even to admit that the whole of our pine lands are uninhabitable and useless, vet here is a sufficient extent of the very finest soil necessarily dependent on this place, to nour ish an extensive commerce. I place out of view the probable consequences, of this town rising to importance and acquiring commer cial capital, in attracting a portion ot the produce irom that part of Louisiana which nes west 01 the Mississippi, and on the lakes to the eas. of it, or the probable connection with the settlements on the Flint and Chata liouchy rivers. Should Pensacola acquire a population of eight or ten thousand souls with a proportionate capital, and taking into view the excellence of its harbor, its great salubrity of climate, and its advantageous position for trade with all the islands, and the shores of the Gulph of Mexico, it must be come the place of importation for a back country much more extensive, than that just described. But these are views somewhat more extensive than simple topography I must therefore check the course of my re flections for the present, least I should be suspected of a hankering to deal in tn® marvelous. U The Cattle Show and Exhibition of Domes, t.c Manufactures was held at Middletown (Conn.) on the l6ti, and 17th of October Among the novelties of this celebration, a cart arrived from Durham, drawn by seventy yoke of oxen, am' one singular ox placed in ront of the whole as a leader. A stage was built on the cart, on which were a currier and shoemaker and other mechanics at work 4 -and also one man employed in threshing, and another in winnowing grain. When these men ceased to work, an excellent hand of music on board the cart struck up, inrrea sing the satisfaction of the spectators. yjfW from u-L’i'ty"' < | riTen into Middletown field soae t v ed * 80(1 f ° rt ? > okt from West- TvWate Boarding.
