so miserable was our fate, tlrat (not one day ex-

themselves. I remained 28 years in this dread-
ful situation ; my life was constatntly uniform ; I
am going to give the recital of the only incident
which happened to me during the whole of that
time. A l\'Iarabou, (so they call a Turkish
monk,) who was travelling through‘ the country
where we lived, gavens in alms 30 sequins (about
200f.) our chief guardian wanted to get his part
of it-gl was the only onewho refused togive him
any thing. Filled with indignation on account
of my refusal, he treated me every day in the

most cruel m’ann‘er._ Every In0l‘nlDg‘a Wilt“ 1

was getting out of the Bagne, he overwhelmed

me with injuries and blows. Tired of such a

life, I resolved to put an end to by taking ven-

geance on the persecutor, whom I resolved to

kill at the first blow he‘ should give me.” I did

not wait long for the opportunity of executing my

purpose ; the next day when I was going to work,
he came to me and began to strike me ; I went
back, and hav’m'g. seized alarge stone, I threw it

‘ag-a'l’n's; .his- face, and beat the right eye out of his

head. I was instantly surrounded by Arabians.

who tied me to a mule ; and after having been
threshcd in a- dreadful manncr,I was brought
before the chcyk, Ihappily had learned I0 Sllcali

Arabic, and I was able to explain to the ‘cl-xeyk

the motives of my conduct. I- made him per-

ceive the cruel procedingso the guardian .to-
wards me ; the cheyk, penctratetl with the.jus-
tice of my remonstrances, condemned him to be
hanged ; then addressing himself to me, which
hand of yours, said he, has struck your enemy ?
He has infringed on the (=Jo‘ran laws, and has suf-
fered his punishment; now you must suffer
yours. As I foresaw the chastisement I was re-
served for, I answered, I had thrown the -stone
with my left hand, in order to‘ save the right--He
then ordered the hand which had committed the
crimes to be tied tea plank. and struck till the
skin and llcsh were taken off, which was execu-
ted immediately, irvthc most-cruel manner. ‘Af-

I take this opportunity to inform you of my un-
fortunate situation, being in this dismal place.—-
On our voyage from Charleston to St.Thomas, in
the sloop Altnyra, Capt. Peterson, we-met with a
.schooner‘ofl' the Berry Islands, having on board
73 Negroes, (all Virginia horn) smuggled from
Virginia, bound to NcwiOrleans. _C_apt. Peter-.
son, knowing it to,._be contrary to the laws of the
United States, took them on board the sloop, with
the intention of carrying them into Savannah,
but shortlyafter, the same day, fell in with the
Spanish manofwar brig St. Fernando, which cap-
tured us under the American flan‘. There were
on board. the captain, six passengers, and four
seamen, who were all dragged on board the brig,
and put in irons, hands and feet. This was on

here, which was on the 17th, when we were put
into this prison among-thieves, robbers, and mur-
derers of all colors. They stripped us of money
and clothing: Igot an old shirt from the mate,
and a pair of trowsers from the cook, or I should
have been entirely naked. Our allowance for -24_
hours, isone ounce of bread and oneand a half
gills of molasses and water. (\vhich they call cof-

fee) in themornin_u;; at 1:2 o'clock, one ounce

fresh beef and half a pint of rice. Our lodging
on the bare floor. ’The Negroes were to have
been sold on Sunday, but the Dons were afraid,
they being American property.

On the 2d of July, the. mountain of I'Iausruck,
in Upper Austria, disappeared and gave place to
a lake. This mountain was of great elevation
and gave its name to the country around.
On the 24th of the same month, the very op-
posite of this phenomenon occurred in Italy...
An astonisliing noise was heardiu the territory.
of Ferentino; after which the waters of the lake
of Porciano suddenlyxdisappeared and lcfttbeit"__
ancient bed quite dry. . Eastw-ard of the lake, at
the foot ofa neighbouring mountain, they-discov-.

lent commotion, down which the waters had pre-
cipitated themselves into certain» subterranean
caverns which now serve as their receptacle.

In the month of August, another displacement,
owing without any doubt to the suhterraneous
confl.tgratio'n of a bcrlnf coal or sulphurous mat-
ter, happened near Salzbottrg, in Bavaria, on the
borders of the Salza. A space of ground of the
extent of 15 -acres, sunl; down, and from the
chasm left. flames continued to issue for some
days afterwards, exhaling -a strong sulphurous
smell. '

On the 11th of May preceding, the bailwick
Rattenburg presented a spectacle still more fright-
ful. A whole mountain crumbled down and
transformed into a tlcserta very fertile andwell
peopled valley. The cause to which this has
been attributed was the enormous quantity of
snow which fell in the Tyrol,in Fcbruary,March
and April, ahdwhich a sudden change-of tem-
perature, and abundant hot rains, had precipi-
tately melted. * «

On the 5th of .luly, at 1 o’clock in the’morn-
ing, the waters ofithe sea suddenly withdrew-
from the port of Marseilles, and left it for some
moments quite dry ; but soon. after returned, as
far even as the city. The same phenomenon
was observed‘ with a more i'etnax'kablc cliat'a"ctcr,
on the 27th of»-June, 1812; and occurred also
in 1755, at the time of the famous earthquake at
Lisbon. -‘ . , : '

VVe learn from Portland, that the bank robbery
has been fully disclosed by one of the perpelra.
tors of it. The names of the robbers are Rolf,
Manley, and Dela.-—Rolf, being under examina-
tion, upon the promise of receiving a large re-
ward, confessed the whole-transaction, and pl-om.
ised to point out where all the bills and specie
were secreted. The bills, however, had hem
removed, supposed by Manley, before Rolf had
knowledge of it, and were not 1-eCo,.c,.ed____Bu[
Rolf proceeded with a Director, to a remote part
of the -town, pointedout the place where the spe-
cia was bid, then retired at small distance, put a
pistol in his mouth, fired it, and expired in a few
moments after the Director reached him,

Rolf was a sea captain, in very good" circum-
stances; owned a fine farm about ten miles from
Portland, and one quarter of.a good brig. He
has left a widow and seven children to mourn his
dreadful fate. .

Seaman's Illéeting -—-Yesterday Divine service
was holden, for the first time, at the Long Room,
over the centre arch, ‘on the Central wharf, by
the Rev. Mr. ~J,enks, in presence of a large con.
course of tltetnariners of Boston, and those at-

tached to coastingvessels, now lying in our port.

The sermon delivered on this occasion, was.such
as might be expected from this learned div’ine.—
It is the commencement, we understand, of a
regular course to be delivered on every succeed.
ing Sabbath. The expences of supporting this
cstablisllment are chiefly defrayed by the me,--
chantsofthis place,whose libel-ality,as well as that
of the -proprietors of the wharf, reflects greatly
to their honor. The consequences,‘ we must,
will be as beneficial as may -have been anticipated
both by merchant andlmarincr. ' ‘

Slorm.——A tremenduous rain storm, accompa-
nicd by vivid flashes of lightning and deep toned
peals of thunder, which made the welkin ring
and the earth tremble, burst suddenly upon us on
Saturday last, about 4 o’clock P. M. In the
course of ‘20 or 30 minutes the streets were com-

 

iplctely deluged withwater ;_ in some of them an

unbrok'en sheet, rapidly descending to its level-
and home in the neighboring streams, was pre-

sented to the eye, for a considerable time after the

storm hadsubsided. .The lightning was strong-

er and more brilliant than we ever beheld it ; the

loud thunder which shook every building to‘ its

foundation, and reverbetated from afar was teri-

bly ‘sublime. The grandeur of the scene it

is not . easy _to describe, but the sensations it

excited will long be remembered by those

who witnessed it. The electric fluid was seen to

play and sparkle on the Franklin rods. Several

houses unprotected by these conductors, were

struck and much injured ;--in one of them, three

persons, brothers, the eldest about l_5 years of
age, the sons of Mr. Loney, were killed ;—-in an-

other a lady was severely shocked. The passen-
gers in the Versailles mail stage, were wonder-
fully ])rCSel'V8(l-_—-llle horses, just as the stage en-
tered the suburbs, were all knocked down--but
one only was killed. The‘ storm with such un-
common violence extended but a short distance.

Illizrincrs Look Out.--A rock, on which there
is but six feet water at low title, has been. for a
long time, an object of attention to vessels en-
tering the hatbor ; it is situated between Sand’s
Point, and Hart Island, opposite Cow Bay. Near
this rock there is l l lathom water, and from the
depth mariners do not appreh-‘.—nd any (longer...
In order to take the necessary precaution, Capt.
Cahoone, of the revenue cutter, has anchored a.
spar buoy near the rock, and captains of vessels
will therefore, take notice, and those‘ navigating
small craft are cautioned against removing said
buoy, as its continuance on that spot will render
the rock familiar, and thereby avoid danger._
We understand that a buoy is also wanted on

Daring Robbery .’-'-—On Monday night, the 10th.
inst. the Jewellery Store of Mr. Jacob Sergeant,
of I-lartford, was broken open, and goods taken to
the amount of upwards of~S2500. The follow-
ing is a list of some ofthe articles taken :—7 gold
watches, 55 silver do. a large quantity of gold
watch chains, seals, and keys, :3 quantity of gold
pearl set finger and ear rings, 4 set silver table
spoons, and 30 set of silver tea spoons, stamped
J. Sargeant, .1 large silver soup ladle, 15 pair sil-
ver sugar tungs, 2 pair pocket pistols, 82c. &c.--
The store was entered, by boreing the window
shutter and frame with alarge auger, until a hole
was made large enough to draw out the bolt, and
then breaking a hole through the window. It is.
evidently the work of experienced scoundrcls, as
the store: is situated in the mostgconspicuous part
of the city. A reward of 8300 is offered for the
apprehension of the thieves. and it is hoped they
will be detected and brought to justice.——.d1’z'rror..
