V.iLf.S Or .VUG.iR.t. I passed between Navy and Grand Isl and-, and landed near old Fort Schlo*ser; I walked down the shore io Whiincv’s, ppo-ite tlie^ir/fsjit iva* near sun-set silence gan to eeigii nvor thcTace of nature. Slow* , anti at intervals, I heard the deep, louv, and awful roar ol the cataract; my mind, Inch for years bad dwelt with nnficipa un upon this greatest the world’s traits ;iclio3tl:e*C’ nc with fearful solicitude beheld-the permanent o'jc'ts, tho trees, the rock*, and I beheld nl*o the pa*sine clouds, that mi meiitarily fitted over tbe most interesting picture that native ever painted and exposed tn the admiration of iijent being-; with more than my com mon forbearance. I coiiclodci! to tv-hold .mid the beauts of a rising sun the gre.it- -*t object ever prt-sei.ted to human view. But whilst the s’ars of the night gleamed through the mi.-ty atmosphere of this, ap- narently fairy land, I walked forth to the njrgin of tiie cataract, and in fancy con in 'the rortex of fleams of Tfiornm^ c«fn<f 9 iml jgUneil op- on the < *r!ing volume* , that rose from the al>y*s lien « h; my eye searched the bottom af this awful gulf, and found in its bosom darkness, gloom, and indes cribable tumult. My reflections tlweft upon this never ending conflict, this eter nal march of the elements, and my "verx soul shrunk back up"a itself. The shelv ing f«uk ou-whichd stood,trembled under ray feet, and tho irresistible, flood before me seemed to-preoent the pictured image of evauescene. Th* rock was yielding piecemeal to ruin, fragment aftet frag ment was borne in the terrible chasm be neath; and the very stre mi that hurried these broken morsels to 'destruction, was itself a monument of changing power. I retracted myself to Col. Whitney’* and after '’breakfast ; returned, and des cending tho almost perpendicular bank of tocks, found my*elf under the tremendou* FALL OF W A TER, that even in des cription • lids excited the admiration ol cultivated man! I crossed Niagara strait about 250 yards below the chute. The river was, in some measure, ruffled by the. ■inflict it bail sustained above, but no danger approached the passenger. Per pendicular walls ol rock rose on bull, side*, to tiie appalling elevation uf be tween threeand Jour hundred feet. 1 h trees which growntd. the upper verge ol this abyss appeared like shrubs. 1 wa* drenched to tlie.skin bjr tli* spray of the cataract; but the sublime scene towering over uly h«*ad, was too impressive to per mit much reflection upon a momentary m- ciiirvcnicucie The river beiuw the fall flows with tohsideranle rapidity,but with less velocity or turbulence than 1 had oeen induced to expect. The opposing bank* are.p rfectly --imilar, both being perpend cular about half the descent; befoiv which enui mnj, walls, extend slopes, composed of tne broken fragments that (rave been torn from their original position by ti torrents from above. Most maps ol Ni gara are very defective, the river being represented too siaight. The best delin eation of this phenomenon which 1 hav seen is contained in the map of Niagara liver, published with gen. W’liilkins’.ui' demons. In that draft, the liver abovi 'he falls is represented, as it is in fact, flowing almost westward. Below the chute the sfcnni flows abruptly to tin- northeast, which course it puigue* more • han a mile, from whence it again resumes i tnnthorn direction, which, with some partial bends, it continues to the place ol its final exit in lake Outuiio. We learn that on Monday kst, the inst. that Pensacola wasi delivered to (he Spaoiardspthat the American troops took up the line of march for fort Montgomery immediately after'—that the Atnerieca citizens who had located themselves in Pensacola had one month allowed them by •tie Spanish governor to remove theirgoochi vc incase they did nut conclude to remain in tlirprovitice.*—Mobile Gazette. 13th tilt.
