From the Democratic PreMs. , * — x * ^KETCHES OF THE RARBARY STATES. ( Concluded.") The min* of Utica are far more interesting than those *>f Carthage. This city never could have attained the rhagnitude and importance of Carthage—its situatiQn, tlie defect in ita maritime position, and its close approxima tion to a place already of the highest political and com mercial importance, would hat e prevented its men» e beyond the scite which its ruins now' occupy. Accoru- fm* to the calculation of Appian—Utica was nine tniici from Cartilage—if this calculation be correct, the dis tance m9st have been computed from the extreme poin of Carthage to the nearest point of Utica,’ „s this city lies west and by north’of Carthage, and according to the road ’whichissomewhatcircuitous.it is at this day near s.\- iteen miles. We left Tunis by the gate leading to the palice of Banlo, and passed through a modern aqueduct built by Charles the fifth,for the purpose of introducing the water into the fortress of the Gaspa. The aqueduct Tj in good preservation and presents a nobie appearance, .beyond this near six miles in'a westerly direction is part of the aqueduct which brought the outer from Zawan to Carthage upwards of twelve centuries have elapsed since tfiis work was constructed—its duration appears co-eval with time, and marks the difference between the solid aud enterprising works of antiquity and the weak - elforts of modern architecture. We struck from the aqueduct to the northward, and pursued a road lined with the olive and caroob tree, and about seven notes from Tunis arrived at a country scat of the bev’s, called Isabella. ' .The Moorish vi’U,.s and gardens bear little or nd^ffi- r.itvto the warm and glowing descriptions of romance. ~\Ve look in vain for the splendid visubule, the columns of porphyry—-the cooling fountains, the light verandas, the windows of the Hamn and the impervious groves of orange and pomgranate—we see indeed a contuseo. mass of stone anil water ttirown together without taste or 'symmetry—long sallas in tiie Spanish style, and a few fruit trees scattered promiscuously among groves ot oove V—Isabella however is said to be the litotes* country pa lace in the kingdom, and although tye architecture is 'Strictly Moorish the ornaments of the interior and in fact the wifole of the internal arrangements are in tne lialkn istvle. We were received by several Neapolitan slaves to Vliose care the palace is assigned, anu who rtcelle due flotice of each visit contempt; a d by the bey or any of Ins family—we entered a spacious gateway over which a srtmpvt had lieeiiQJiilt and on which several small brass field pieces are placed—and pursued our way into the hull which terminated in a view of a large tank or cistern ^<of water near out hundred feet square in \\ inch a sinnil and nnc or two t.ignites in miniature beurin^ tue •Ottoman fiig* were moored—around tiiis tuiiK whicii by *Tlie Moors is calletfu jerbi and the water cf which riows mo the gardens, ran*a ranee of marble columns sup porting* a |M>riico from which the <loors ot the several -Apurtments were seen. In three apartments there are no furniture, the ceiling’ is^ ricnty ornamented yith stucco, the wall inlaid with colored marble and a row or Utto- ' -i^nans on which cuski >ns are placed tonn ali the conte- -oieuce aiffl ornament ot these palaces. The slaves prepared coffee and kmonadefor us, and the nii»!it approached they sealed i«»enisei% es on tire jTi rvbie floor and g’a*c us a description ot then uufortu- press Juba Faustina—we purchased tWhn for a tr.fle, m:o proceeded to view tlie rums. Utica originally was built on an eminence eif nearly a h/if nule in .*■ iiglh, and ex tremely narrow-country, contrary howc’Vir-to the custom pursued at Carthage and other important cities, the. pub lic. buildings were built on the plain, and only the re mains of an ahiphitheutre are to be seen on tlie eminence. Utica must have been a. very small city; traces of the wall by which it was surrounded are still discernible, it took in the before mention.-J eminence, nfidtlie ’circum ference of the whole city according to the best Calcula tion, could not have been more than three miles. The remains of the amphitheatre are a great "curiosity, i* occupies nearly' the entire width of the eminence, but there are no vestige of foundation or ruins to he seen— it never could have been a* preprinted for gyrnnu'ic ex ercises, chariot races or the. exhibition of gladiators, but v. n» used for naurftachia or mock sett fights. Its form is oval, ajsd about four hundred feet in circnnifiAence—the depth from tlie surface of the earth is apparently ninety feet, and as hear as We tsonld jutlgg^tlie water must have occupied a depth of near ten fifet. This chasm, for so it maybe called, has ah appearance peculiarly grand, anil testifies-the liberality of the people, fdr whose amuse ment it was originally constructed. The water was in troduced into the cavity from the Bagrula, by means of an aqueductj the ruins of which are still to be seen on the eminence—it entered at one end and was let. out at the other—the apertures for which, are still seen. The emi nence or hill was sloped in order to give an easy- tnnvtice into the amphitheatre—and from the present 'appearance it might have contained near twenty thousand people. The Romans were peculiarly attached to this species of amusement. One of the largest am phi: he: dies in the world and at present in the best preservation was built for mock sea fights—it is at a j-iiccc called Elgin,’ about nine milts from the sea, between Tunis and Tripoli, near ifax, and will contain eighty thousand spectators. We descended on the plain, in order to discover the rums of the senate house, anti were naturally' attracted to tiie largest pile as affording the most reasonable belief from its situation and exC-nt, to be all that the ravages of the Cloths and Vandals ha$ left of that celebrated edifice. It was of stone mixed with a strong cement, and so com pletely crumbled in ruins, that no correct idea could be formed of its architecture or internal decorations. A circumstance, however, lately occurred, which left no room to doubt that this was the senatj; house. It is con trary to the religious customs of Musselmen to dig for the purpose of discovering any antiques, or as they term it any coins or im ees belonging to the Christians. The first ministe r was building a spkvlid mosque at Tunis, and had given orders to dig among the r.uiti. of Cartilage and Retira for columns of marble, many of which anei several of various colours were found, and were new polished for the mosque. While tiie Moors were dig ging in Utica ami close to the pile of ruins which we con cluded had been tlie senate Louse, they iliscoiered seve ral marble statues which they bfongb* to tlie minis’er of marine at the fortress of tiie Golettn, who permute -- to view them. They were are* all imperfect, but had been rendered more so by the barbarous custom of the Muors. who mutilate every statue they discover bv striking off the nose or breaking ail arm. One Was a collossui figure in Roman dress, and was said to be a statue of Tr. jail— it had lost its head, and at some distance from the figure ahead was found and placed awkwardiv on the shoulders of the statue—the head evidently did not belong to the figure—it had a wreath of laurel bound round it, but was mate siuia.iou, me length of time they had passed in j so liiutilated’and'the features destroyed, tiiat no traces slavery, their native country, birth and family—it appear- I of tliem were left.. There wi re two figures of Vestals ‘ " L 1 without heads or arms, the*drapcry of which was in the most perfect -ml delicate sty le of execution, the feet and -eti strange to us, but not less true, that most of tiiese Italians had been surprised by small parties of Tic ks Who had landed freml their corsairs and made them prisoners. We would naturally suppose that tlie terrors of captivity joined to the facilky ot approaching the coast aticl effect ing a landing would naturally induce the government to . -adopt precaulionarv measures, such as fortifying the line j of coast, arming tne people and embodying the militia sandals were in complete priserv .tibn. There was also a plain figure without drapery Vimr-ms, the head of winch was apparently Rattened or cut off above the nose—it is evident tint this head supported a part of ti.eiiqjm- or portico of the senate—die smaller figures may have oc cupied niches, several of which are still to he fouild, and would tend t> afford a sure protection from the inroads j the colossal figure which appeared to be upwards of eight of these pirates—but so it is that a territory of near six j feet in height might have occupied the centre of the hall, hundred miles is wholly unprepared for resistance and t These statues col ec’ivtly were a grea* curiosity and a "it does not unfreqaently happen that a boat'-, crew limit high value was in consequence placed- on them by the tinder die cover of the night ami carry away whole faini- i minister. lies into bondage. It would naturally be asked are j We discovered in Utica tt\p same number of subter- tiese outrages committed for the sake ot gaining the va- > raneoe.s caverns and passages ns in Crirthnge, anil in our lue of the ransom generally pad for a slave' or is it j survey of the ruins, were frequently in danger of falling from hatred to the Christians? The motives are mixed I into them. One fact was strikingly apparent that the sea -—•avarice h.is us full share, but religious prejudice is the j hail receded from I lie.; since its destruction nearly tn o powerful incentive—many of these slaves were of res pectable families—several had been twenty years presen ters and bad almost lost all hope ot being restored to tneir errantry. ‘ ‘ .... At dawn of day we were awoke by the Singing of birds which perched on the iron lattices of the windows and regaled us with their niciodv. Cato had also been dis turbed by tin se : warbiers a few minutes before iie ftil on ills sword. We wi re a few leagues Only from Utica, and felt the analogy of tiie situation—every thing around us aooked flourishing—tiie country, the high road over which tjie Roman legions Had marched, remained un- -Tohangffd—tiie stern patriot and ins little senate Were no more. We mounted our horses, and preceded by a Janissary ms a guide, we pursued them.Un roadfor about five miles ■"until it terminated by a narrow path cut from a uioun- vtain which opened on an extensive plain at the extremity <of which we perceived, on arising ground some scattered Tuins. This was Utica. We approaclicd a river*of about twenty yards wide with steep banks—over which We crossed ill a flat, the .remains of an ancient bridge were iii sight; the fresh et had destroyed tiie piers which were decayed and partly ^sunken; our horses were safely ferried over, and we turned to look hack on the river we had passed. How frail are the rfopes of glory—how sure is the corroding fvindoflinae—it was tiie Jf.igrada of*antiqui-v we had passed, oil the banks of wiilcli Uegulus had killed the enormous serpent—its strewn roiled sluggishly along, indifferent to passing events. On the bank's of this river Mnv called Booshai. by the Turks, have the legions of Hannibal marched, the triumphant army of ficipio en camped. How often, perhaps, has Cato paced its borders deeply revolving in iiis m ud the slate of the republic, an l the means necessary to s.ive the common cause front shipwreck. How often on tint spot has the-stern patri ot vowed to live free or die. How often lias the senate released from the perplexing cares of their station, as sembled' on its b ulks to meditate oti the high anil solemn duties imposed on them. Here a Sempromus strongly urging and fiercely supporting a call tor war, there Lu cius mildly essaying to calm those turbulent feelings and wearing constantly the silver smile of peace. A view of tills spot is a collateral evidence, of history, the even.* of which pass r .pidly oxer the mind as we trace the ruins of those splendid edifice* which a spirited and liberal peo ple hail reared. We passed through a small camp of Bedouins or wandering Arabs who hud pitched their tents, made of coarse hair cloth on tlie banks of the ri ver. The nun was just rising and hrew a rich tint on the surrounding country, lu front tv? h <d a view of the sea and the distant island of Ziinbra, to tiie left iindera boid •anil commanding promontory lay tlie town, of Porta Fa rina, near wliich two or three of the t*y s cruisers were moored—to the right and behind us, was an extensive plain bounded by .narrow hills covered with verdure and olive trees. Tlie air was pure anil soft as it is in Attica, and we stopped near a tent to survey this ricli anil beau tiful country, which a revolution of ages tiad thrown into the power of barbarians. We were soon assailed by»the Arab dags in tiie camp, wliich have the appearance of wolves, and are' extremely fierce—our Jaiuiissary tried to appease them in tiie Arabic language^ but not suc ceeding, he drew his pistol from Iris belt with an intepfion ot shooting one of them, which he was preventing from doing by their being called qfif by their owners. The Mussulmen are not fond of strangers. Their cold and retiring disposition uusuits them for habits of social intercourse. It is also contrary . o their laws and cus toms for their women to expose their faces—and this is strictly observed in their towns and cities, but in the country these laws aTe uotWigidly enforced. 'The Arab women and giris were employed about the tents in do mestic purposes—they viewed ds with much indiffer ence—the’sun had scorched them nearly black, they wore large silver ear rings, and bracelets around their ancies, and their appearance strongly reminded us of our Ame rican squaws—one of them brought us a few pieces of colored glass, and some coins w.hich she had found on die ruins, two of them were small copper coins which jure frequently found in the neighborhood, and are of lit tle value, on one side is a NumicKan horr.i, i3.d on the miles, as on the margin of die ruins we discovered seve ral square blocks of stone, sc . iie of which were clamped together with iron and formed a part of a mole, and m one of those blocks an iron ring w..s fastened—these cir cumstances joined to tlie appearance of the earth and sun dry ridges or watermarks left no doubt on our minds that barks or smalt vessels couhl originally come up to the city; at present there is not a sufficient depth of wa ter in tlie Bagratla for the conveyance of boats or sandals. tVc finished our survey of Utica, which though, confin ed to a much smaller space than Curtilage, is the most interesting of the two places—anil we returned to Tunis. Our party consisted of Americans, with one or two ex ceptions, anil here it would n t be improper to remark, tiiat though separated from these interesting spots by a world of waters, inhabitants of an infant country, where science and the arts though progressing with rapid strides, have not attained maturity and perfection—they were animated iiy a w:.l and industry—an enterprising curiosity and a perfect knowledge of the i vents in lusiori relating to this country, whicii did credit to their studies and pursuits, anil when it is considered tiiat a favorite breeze will waft us to the ruins of Carthage and Utica in thirty days, it is to be hoped ’hat When the north of Afri ca becomes more tranquil that many of cur citizens whose leisure and means unite to jus’ify a voyage there, will enrich their country with a mere general description of the soil and climate—natural curiosities and historical facts than we are y ct in possession of, relative to the states in Barbary'. Jf. . THE BARilAUV STATES. • * The Algerines are a brave nest of pirates, and have for nearly three centuries, almost defied the efforts of Chris tendom. The city is large, strong anil populous, con- t.filing upwards of leW,t)UJ inhabitants, in lb-i-l, tlie emperor Cliarees V incurred greater disgrace before this city, than the glory he acquired at tlie battle of Pavia, when he made Francis I a prisoner. At Algiers he lost almost the whine of tlie finest fleet and army that ever lyd sailed from Spain. In 163.5, the English limitr sir John Xarborrougii, bombarded the ctly, and burnt ad tlie shipping in tiie harbor. In 16£0, lord Dartmouth paid tiie city a similar visit, r.nd tin ally destroyed titetr vessels. But the city never could be .taken. In UTo tiie Spaniards under general O’Rciiey, were repulsed with great slaugh ter, winch was considered uu indelible disgrace to the Spanish arms. The naval force no w sent against those freebooters is the strongest ever sent from England on a similar ert -’id. i low it wilt succeed, is not easy to fore- tel, unless tne admiral's instructions were known. But it may be presumed that this expedition is like our former oner, the object is only to humble tiie enemy for the time being, thereby affording him another opportunity of renewing his audacious pursuits. Experience has proved tiiat to crush loose hordes, a naval force is not adequate, unless supported by numerous land forces. The Eu ropean commerce will never be secure, until all the Bar bary powers be permanently conquered, and tiie coun-' try colonized. It ,>us often been a matter of astonishment, why this lias not been attempted. The coasts of Barba- ry, in point of fertility of soil, anil variety of valuable, productions, yield to none on earth. Tripoli could be made to produce as good crops of sugar, as Dutch Guiana, Jamaica, or any island in the West-indies, besides all kinds of tropical fruits. The same may be said of Tunis, Algiers, and .Morocco. But tlie produce of those fine re gions is not confined to luxuries; they .yield in great abun dance all the necessaries, of life: ’Hie wheat and pulse of Barbary are equal to any within the temperate zone, and ’fie Hocks of cuttle in those countries arc not surpassed m France anil Spain for excellence. In the low grounds, indigo and rice are raised with great success, of the finest qualities. Those noble tracts of country present more inviting fields for acquiring wealth and comfort than any region in America. Indeed they niuv at some period, not very distant, djmiiiish tlie intercourse between Europe, America upd tqe West-lndics, should the views and policy of die Europehn’natious be directed to Africa. In the mean while much will depend oq what the British govern ment has determined upon, shoitld the expedition under ord Exmouth prove uiuucoessful.—Montreal JIaald. diatthe.r tl g is abused by asetof des;>< radoes. win/ uin i nothing but plunder, and extend their depredations to- friends as well: sfoes. We have icon m/ily ius’ances re ported of the robberies ffey have c nuuitled on Ameri can anM British vessels, and the subjoined case of the plunder of the Sylvia-A .in, of Philadelphia, is, perhaps, among tiie most atroeioits. As for Britain, let her view the matter in whatever light she may—bt.’,* for tin United States, we venture to say, tiiat it is incumbent, on them to protect the riglits and guard tiie property of their citizens against every assailant. Our government ought to employ all its disposable naval force to efli ct if possible, the extermination of this.new race of pirates, and thereby release itscoinmercadjrofn all apprehensions on theiractount/ The case of flkSylvia>-Anii, related to us by tlie master of that vessel, (wiioje arrival here in the schooner. Olive-Branch, wits mentioned in our last) is this:—The Sylviu-Atin, commanded i?y Alfred Hazard, sailed from Maricaibo on tile 15th of August, bound to Philadelphia. Oil the 18th, at 2 p. >t. passed Cape Tibe- ron about one league distant and hauled up for the Spa nish town of Donna Maria, intending to send tlie boat ashore it that place fob vegetables, being slu.rt ol bread; but when about two miles distant-from the town, tlr.y fired a shot at the Sylvra-Ar.n. Captain Hazard imme diately hoisted his coio;.: at fine main-peak, but in ten mi nutes after another shot was fireft, winch fell w ithin a few feet oi‘the schooner. Captain Hazard finding that thfy paid no respect io the American §->g, thought it best to bear aw ay immediately, and get out of reach Ot their guns. At 3 v. yt it fell Calm; saw j schooner at anchor in Pe tit Riviere*from which a boat \Va d»-covered approach ing the S' lvia-Ann. At 4 r. m. tiie bunt'came alongside with five men, .who demanded the schooner's papers, on delivering wlii'ch, captain Hazard asked iiu iVt the namt of theirscho.iner, and to what n tion she belonged. 'They replied tiiat she w as a fmtriotrc p.-ivu'.err, commissioned In Bolivar, that she was'called the CnmmOilore Deci.tur. (formerly an American vessel) and that she was com manded hv a captain BotiC; hut cap*..in Hazard arie'r- warc'ls learned tiiat his real name was Pmei. A* Iraif past 4 p. m. they left the Sylvia-Ann and returned to their own vessel, but in li u.f an hour afu-r, their boat c..nii back agaih, \vKh about twenty men,armed with muskets, pistols and cutlasses; ordered captain Hazard iiv.o the boat and carried him on board the priv; t- tr. 'They also took all the crew out of iliC Sylvia-Vnn, and carried the cabin-boy on -board Vicir vessel, wi.ere they put sini in irons, and holding a pistol to his br as;, tiirea'.eiit.i lmu with instant death if he did not tell them in what par; ot thy schooner captain H. had stowed away ins money.— The boy thus intimidated, made tiie dtsirei! .disclosure, whereupon they returned to the Sylvia-Anti, and plun dered her of every article of the least v ine that they epuld conveniently ry their rapacious hands upon, and of wliich tin* following is a fist; 2000 Spanish Dollars, 180 Donh oons, 238 pounds of Silver, in liars, One hundred weight ot while sugar, Cm* sextant, one case instruments, log fines, spy-gia s, books, chart-, and ail the ship and cabin stores They also plundered tlie people of their dolling, taking e,en the fiats oii their heads; they to >k captain Hazard’s watch from InS'tfib, a gold chain from his neck, and a gold r n from ins fin ger. To robbery they added insult and cruelty by beat ing the crew of the Syivia-Ann, in u most barbarous man ner, so that some of them were rendered unfit for duty. At 7, captain }J. was permitted to return mi board nis ves sel, wlitre lie f >und some ofthe privateer’s men still oc cupied ia pill.iging, msled by two Spanish officers, who had come' off front tlie fort! The officers demanded of cap lam fi. 16 dollars for the two .shot they had fired at him; when he informed them thit I’inel had robb: d iiim of every thing, and requested they would go and stop ,'iim, which they promised to do, but did not. At thr< e o’clock the next morning the privateer got under way and stood to sea, the Spaniards making no eli'ort to stop her. Owing to. a calm which prevailed, tlie Sylv..i-Ann, lay at anchor whexe she was brought to by tlie pirate, until the 20th, when a breeze springing - up she ran, into Jeremie, where she remained a short time and then sailed for Port-au-Prince. From Port- ipPrinte cap tain II. was proceeding home, when he was un fortunately’ wrecked on (.peat Heneaga, in a tre mendous hurricane. By great exertions they succeed ed in saving a part of tiie cargo and the materials rf the t-ylviu-Ann, when captain Hazard crossed to Baiacoain a small boat, (leaving two men in charge of what « assay ed i • n the yvreckj and applied to tiie commandant, Don Louis, for assistance and permission to charter rn Ame rican vessel to carry the cargo and materials of tfie byl- y ia-Ann to the Unit; d States, which was refused; neither could c. p*:un II. obtain, permis ion to return to Urea’ Heneaga yvitii provisions for the n.e:i fie h: fi left there, and who ever* snftering for want. The commandant threatened captain H. repeatefi-y tJiat he would put iiim ill irons and send him to prison in case he made any at tempt to leave B.rac-oa witiiout iiis special authority, hut would assign no reason yviiatever for such itiifriendiy .treatment.

The following is an extract of a letter from M. S. Sav- yers, esq. to colonel ,f. K. Muiluny, United States’ army, •dated Madeira, July 3,1816. “Colonel Marpherstm* h s had one op-iortunitv since be lias been here, of adding much to tlie well knoyy n hon or of his ciiaracter. To tiie surprise and mortification ot the merchants >f this- Islrtid, he carried his point with the governor.

On information of which, colonel .M.tcpherson went directly to the price and demanded the captain to be released, yvhicli yvas refused. Colonel M. then went to tiie castle, drew iiis syvord, passed the centineL and ordenl tlie captain to follow him, which he did. After liberating him, colonel M. returned to tiie governor and informed him that as he was responsible for the conduct of American citizens.
