Fbjs»uary 19, 1800. > Sir:—Captain Parsons, of the ship Amity, of Boston, reports that on the 22d of August last, being then hound, from Maujlla to Boston, llo discovered and hoqt through a passage among the Thousand Islands. Although these Islands are at the eastern entrance to the Straits of Halida, and, therefore in oho of the giieat thoroughfare!! of the ocean, there is noocourate survey of them, Ond the position ossignedwhum ° n the charts is of doubtful accuracy. . Captain Parsons determined the lnttitndc ol tlie middle of the posangc by a meridian altitude ot the sun, and its longitude hy beatings from the Bourn- Watcher. They arc 5 deg. 26 mill. 3., J00 dog. 37 For farther Information feoncorning this discovery, l make the following extract of C«1 Parson’s letter to me, with the remark that IP P. is rejircsented to me as a navigator ot intelligence, whoso statements are, in every i p entitled to wmlldence. ^ AccouNT . “At 6 A. M, wind heading, stood fur the Thousand Islands; at 10 do. perceived a wide parage trough tliem, stood for it. At 11 do. entered the passage With a boat ahead, with the .second <nnc«r •>» it. At Meridian, wind came ahead, which caused us' J®"®® 1 through tlie passage, which wu« about H miles wide. Latitude observed at noun, being then in the middle of the passage, was 5 deg. ~b nun south, allowing the ship to be 6 miles west ol tlie South-Watcher,the longitude, ut the time of observation, would be 10b deg. 37 inin.

Kept in a line with the islands in beating through on both sides. This passage, from tlie eastward, runs about 3 miles, cast Iind west, and S. W. 2 miles clears the passage altogether. Tlie reefs which extend from these isl ands generally run east and west, and can be ap- liroaohoil within a qunrller of a mile. Soundings will tiien be from 16 to 18 fathoms, white sand, from 18 fathoms, 2 bout’s length ahead, hud a cust of 2 feet.

A couple of English vessels lately arriv ed here, having no knowledge of Ihch a work, were much confused, one of them lying otf and on for 36 hours, and that in the vicinity of one of the most dangerous reefs on tlie whole coast The Lighthouse is built on point Materafltos—-long. 77 14, and lat 21 40—of white limestone, and can easily he seen at twenty mile distance. It is to be lighted for the first time, on the first of May. I believe it ii the highest In America, being 186 Spanish fqet (or 171 Eng.) in hc'ght costing nearly $200,000 when finished. Tlio lamp ana machinery to be used are French, and were exhibited at tlio late Fair in Paris. It is now being placed by a French engineer. The whole struc ture is under the superinteiuleuuqof Don Juan Com paznno, Lieutenant-Colonel of tile Royal Corps ol Engineers. It is to be cnlled' jColon,’, the name being placed in large bronze letters, facing the sea, nbout half-way up the tower, Ip as to be seen some distance.

P ROFESSOR BARRY’S TRI COPI1BROUS, or MEDICATED COM POUND—Infallible for renewing, invigorating and beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf Dandruff, and all affeotions of tho Scalp, and curing eruptions on.the Skin, Diseases of the Glands,'Musclesand Intcgumeifts, and reliev ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &c. &c. With this Preparation, “iheye is no such wurd as foil.” The first journal in -America, med' cal men of ihe highest eminence, prominent citi- zens of all professions, and Indies who have used it for years, in their dressing rooms and nur series, admit with one accord, that, for impart ing vigor, £loss, luxuriance and curl to the hair eradicating’scurf and dandruff, healing wounds curing contusions, sprains, stings, &c., and re lieving diseases of tho skin, the glands-, and the muscles, it has no equal among t$ie multitude of compounds advertised in the qiublic. prints, or used in private practice. In cheapness ns well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un rivalled. The immense'cash sales of tho arti cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it at retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which iafrom fifty ,to ono hundred per cent less, than the price of any other preparation for the lmir'now in use. The scientific treatise on the huir and the skin, (embracing valuable directions for the culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicest, ornn- ment,) in which' each bottle is enclosed, is alone worth the money. The affinity between the membranes which constituc the skin,-and the hair which draws its sustenance from this triple envelope, is very close All diseases of tho hair originate in tlie skin of the head. If tho pores of the scalp are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do not circulate freely through tlio small vessels which feed the roots with moisture, and im part life to tho fibres, the result is scurf, dand- /uff, slredding of their hair, grayness, dryness, and harshness of the ligaments, nnd entire baldness, as the case may be. Stimulate tho skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous, und the torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will annihilate the disease. In all nffections of the skin, and of tho substrata of muscles artd integuments, the process und tlie effect aro tho same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres, and tho glands, that the Tricopherous has its specific action, and in all affections and injuries of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.
