There was a Tunis ian sloop of war here when we arrived, but scarcely deserves the name: ■ Wewcrtf only quarantined two days. This is a walled town, and has acauat or ditch running round it. The suhin Im is nearly as large a-, the town. Thb only tiling worth see in the place, is a mo nument, erected to the .memory of a son of one of the grand dukes’ of Tuscany. A marble figure, larger than life, armed capapce, on a bane about six feet high. 1 is intended to. represent the young duke. To each corner of the bane, is a copper Turk, chaiUcd in a sitting posture, one of which is represented with his back broke. The tradition respecting it is, that the four Turks, a man and his three sons were pii ales, who infested this scu. The young duke went out in a galley in pursuit of them- The old man was so strong, that he pulled again-t his three sons; his oar broke, and he fell back ami broke his back, by account of which the duke captured them. When he return-} cd ts» tins place, he was so.,elated with success, that he landed without waiting fur pratiipie, and was executed fm* break up the quarantine regulations.

A number of our officers have been to Florence, but the time, allowed them, * was not sufficient to see the place tho roughly.

The governor of this place visited us incog. and we did not discover him till he was about leaving the ship. He had been I treated very politely and shown through the ship, as all btlwr visitors arc. Several of our men deserted here, and the governor gave us the police to assist I us in finding the men.

A majori ■ ty of about xWo thousand five hun dred votes fur councillors, and one hundred A* twettg-nineenemhevs of the House of representatives, giving us a majority <vf fifty-six in that body, attest our triumph. The change of public sen tilnent in Connecticut, for the last twelve months, is without example. A B party which but a short time since, consi dered themselves!as the legitimate rulers of the state and so firmly established in | their authority by their inexplicable sys- I tein of steady habits, as to have set as the principles of sclf-preserva | Hon and even the maxihis of common pru ilj dcnce, and to hove raised its pnn ulical arm against the government of their coun try, has been prostrated in the dust. They have not merely been discom fited—there disaster is total and irrepar- B They have not only been defeated, | hut annihilated. They have ceased to as a party. In some entire sec tions ot the slate, the party is literally extinct. I and Ncw-London Counties, bomprlsing, one third part of me state there is not even a vestige of federalism that has survived the general B r ’dn, which, “like the flag floating when the bark’s ingulph’d, “might serve as a juemorial of its form, power.

But very little of this year’s cultiva tion has yet reached our market. The small quantity brought in has command ed from 2G to '27 cents! A fine prospect tor the Planter; and which will remedy, iti a great degree, the, loss he has sustain ed in the cultivation of this valuable ar tide, from the unusual ravages of the rot ami worm. V/e have read with mingled sensati ons of pity and contempt, a scries of let ters said to be written by a young gen tleman from the North, on a tour of business through the Southern States.— These letters (originally published in the Commercial Advertiser of N. York) are something in the style of strictures on the character and manners of the in habitants, of the States thro’ which he passed; and on their civil ftndlpbliticat institutions. From singular premises, in a spirit of discriminating candor, he deduces gen eral inference'.—and Georgia is repre sented, to the eye of the stranger, as a vulgar and savage monocracy—South- Car-*',na as a receptacle for mercenary dealers-—and Virginia, the old Dominion as combining all those enviable qualities in a pre-eminent degree. The exten sive spite re of our tourist's observations, was unli) confined, it appears, to the in definable limits of a post-road, or some obscure country village, where, (it would seem) dashing into every bagnio and tip pling shop that crossed his way, he was enabled to collect materials sufficient to answer tiie purpose of a libellous in grate. If a southern travelled in the States, should form an opinion of the chastity of their females from an in tercourse with the. devotees of the Cyp rian Goddess—of the sobriety of their citizens, after participating in abachan alian orgie—of the honesty of their traders, by selecting individual instan ces of cupidity and extortion-—and, fi nally, of the literary information of the country, from the colloquial talents of a Boniface —what would our northern brethren think of him? —The liberal and enlightened mhabitants*' of the north, however, are not to be duped by such ignorant and malicious representations. They are well aware (hat in-all societies, iniquitous ami depraved individuals are found; and that the man who estimates the general character of a community from the existence of such facts, is only to be pitied as a wretched ideot, or ab horred as a bast calumniator. -—— Latest from Amelia-Island.
