‘ The operatic‘.-ns of our spuadron consist, prin-

The Spark sailed a few days since for Tunis. I
am tired of Palermo, and rejoice that we leave
ll(.'l‘C in a day or two for Naples. llaving lately
had a taste of the pleasures and splendor of that
delightful capital, I feel on the tipioe of y'buth-
ful expectancy again to renew them. You may
possibly doubt what those pleasures are—ration-
al (and I was almost about to say, something of
subliinity) I assure you. \-Ve spent the 20th of
April only in the capital of the kingdom of the
two Sicilics, arriving on Saturday evening. and
sailing on Sunday night. . In company with four
ofliceisof the ship. I paid a visit to Pompeia and
Herculaneuin; and derived that pleasure antl-
interest which the scene was calculated to in-
spire in a mind, not totally unacquainted with
the history of their foundation. Instead ofgiv-
ing you an accurate description of the destruc-
tion- and resuscitation in part, of these once splen-
did cities, I shall rather express my feelings on
beholding temples, palaces, and other buildings
of art, emerging to light-from the ruin anddark-
ness, in uhich they have been concealed for 20
centuiics. The destruction of Gomotrahwas
not more dreadful, or complete than that of tin-
happy Pompeia. The first shower of Pumice,
vomited by Vesuvius, now forms a stratum of
five or six feet above the level of the streets.-—-
To this succeeded the shower of cinders, which
ell'ecttiall_v crushed and covered every building.
and left not a trace or vestige of the city above
ground ; the shower of ashes is from ‘l5 to 20
feet more; you will therefore comprehend at
once the vastness of thelabor to effect the remo-
val of such a mass of matter‘, covering a town 3
miles in circumference. Yet, this is contem...
plated, and whole streets have been opened from
one extremiiy of the wall to the other. Six
temples are laid open to the eye of the curious;
ii vast amphitheatre,-theatre, and forum ; .many
are the heautiftil statues and vases daily collected
from this mine of antiquity. It is to be regret-
ted they do not remain where found; but are
all conveyed to the museum at Naples. Altho’
thesubstance that covers Pompeia is light, yet
the quantity is surxh that a century will not suffice
for its removal. I-lerculaneum was destroyed
the same time ; but if possible, in a more dread-I
ful manner ; a torrent of liquid fire rushed sud-‘
denly from the mountain, and buried it 100 feet
below its surface. This volcanic matter is c-
qually hard with granite; the excavations are of
course exceedingly limitetl, and have never been
pursued in any other direction, than where the
wall was first stink, that discovered the city.-—
Such was the good fortune, however, which di-.
rected the discoverers, that they fell immediately
on the theatre, rich in statues and monuments of

about 4 miles from the forts. The loss sustained
by the Spaniards was 5 killed, and several woun-
ded. The loss of the Patriots was not known
The next day the Spanish gun boats made an at-
tack upon the Patriot squadron ; the action lasted
-two and a half hours; but no material damage
was done on either side. The Spanish squadron
consisted of 2 frigates, 3 sloops of war, 2 brigs,
and 20 gun boats ; that ofthe Patriots, a 64, two
frigatcs, and a sloop of war. Lord Coclirane had
captured a schooner off the hat-bor,imanned her,
and sent her on a cruise. Lord Cocbrane had
landed 500 men at Faucho, a small village to the
leeward of Lima, and the vice king had dispatch-

Lima amounted to about 8000.

NEWPORT, July '7.
An unhappy occurrence took place at‘ fort Ad-
ams on Sunday evening last, at about 10 o'clock.
Two young men by the names of “fin. Cornell
and VVm. Kane, both soldiers on guard, ~ had a
slight quarrel, which, it seems, grew out of mere
sport, when the former discharged his musket at
the latter, the contents ofwhich entered his body
jtist above the hip, which caused his death in a
few minutes after. A jury ofinquest was sum-
moned on the following day, who after a very
"careful investigation, brought in a verdict -wz'{/ill
murder. Cornell was immediately given up to
the civil authority, and is now in prison to await
his trial.
