flit Jaws Government GastUt of Mag SO, 'V 1815, a ara ai lengiu enaoiea uj give me puouc full and interfiling account of tbe Volcanio erup Vrn tlilft hat recently taken place on the Island Sumbawa, which hai been furnished to ut from tbe most respectable authority, and which may bit received aa as historical fact of undoubted authenticity. The distance of Batavia from the Tomboro mountain In between seven and eight hundred mile, which appear so enormous a space for sound to be conveyed over, that we cannot help SUppO amg luc VIUUU VU nuiuuan tn rjuiy connected with other Volcanic mmin taint on tl.is Island. To prove thit fact, we now publish an extract from a private letter with which we were Obligingly favored, before any eruption known to have taken plnee on the bland of Sumbawa by 1 which it will appear that tbtfdatetof the fir. ex fdositm from the Tomboro mountain behind Ban fcewangoe corresponds exactly. BKSUKIE, April 16.

The mountain that bat been kicking up this i 3utb not in Lnmojan as wet generally supposed, but one lu the rear of Bangewangwe, and in the about 35 Dials distant from this, place, called Coonong Hawoong It Las been volcanic from time immemorial, some smoking, anil once or i twice nas emiiien vanies seven month ago fopr hillocks that were er the edge of the crater fell in and ch naked up the vent. Its Erst re opening was about tbe 4th in. taut, at which time we had slight showar of nabes; however, on the lOtb, it broke out with louder explosions than was ever before witnessed P. M. of the lltb until P.

JSt. of the 12th 1 be grnnnd bn is cowered itji ashes two inches deep, tbe same at I'roooungo, ana at anarou Jtan and through, tbe Bangewangce Districts, oni 8 to 10 inches. Tbe tea was uiuub iri(tel at tbe time of these exulosioos. and on a sudden "rose from 5 trt 7 fet on the tHzht of the 10th." If it be admitted that any relative connexion exists between these two volcanos, we may rea 'anpibly suppose that their Influence extended still further to tbe westward and teat otner moun 'tains, more immediately in our neighbourhood emitted tbe sounds that were to distinctly lieard on tbe llth instant at Batavia, and about the tame period at Banes may probably be wroot; in our conjecture upon this subject, but it 'certainly appears to us, that any sound which could be conveyed over space of si or seven bun tired miles, mut nave neen insupponaoie anue sfistance of 25 pails from the craUr. We shall leave the elucidation however, of this Interesting phenomenon! to abler pens than ours The account we have published is to explicit and atisfactnry that hardly any additional knowledge be obtained, except by investigation, nd as the convulsions of the Tomboro mountain liave nearly rivalled the workings either of tlna or Vesuvius, we trut soma curious traveller may he induced to explore in ravages, and to throw further light upon a subject cf to much historical Interest to our world.

Extract of a Priratt Letter. On the Sib of April, a firing of cannon was heard at Macar tbesmud appeared to come from the Southward, and continue! at intervals all the afternoon. Towards sun set tbe reports soent ed to approach much nearer, and sounded like vy guns, occasionally wun ingmer reports oe tween. During the night of the tills, the firing wasa ttnin beard, but much louder, ami toward morning the reports were in quick succession sometimes liL tltMi nr rmir irum fined tnfthtr. and ai hf try that th; shook tbe hip, a thny did the hou Ht Irt the Tori.

Some of the reports seemed so near that Itentpeopi to the mast bead to look out for the flashes, and immediately the day dau i I. I 1 1 1. (. 1 fiewjif ascertaining tbe cause. Tbe morning was extremely dark and lowering, particularly to the Southward and S.

F.tbe Vied light and from the eastward. Fercniring large prow comiux Ipm I srhl a heatoa bnwrd to get any inUllirence she might at B.a Ml nuitlai. mm from whence tbe firing had been heard. The prow yrat from the Lstand of Faldyer Dutchman who commanded her stated, tltat be bad heard the firing I L.I. I L.J uw wuoie niu, uui umu rccn nu ur ooais.

He also stated that two days previous to hit lesv )ug SeJayer, about the 4th or ith, a heavy firing had beeu heard to tbe Southward of "the island that tbe guns in the fort bad been manned in con eqnence, conceiviag it to, be an attack by the Pi I rates on torn part of the island, but as no vesels i boatt bad appeared, it was at length concluded to be an eruption from tbe Volcano on tbe Island ttfSumbawa. la eoiisequene) of thit information, and being the tame opinion, I anchored the ship abreast Macassar, and went ashore to tbe Resident with the intelligence. I found that Captain Wood entertained Ibe same opinion, astke bouse bad been i i i wove ny viae 01 inr reports. Indeed by thit time, wbicb vratboot 8. a.

a it was very apparent that some extraordinary oc enrream bad taken place i the f.ce of the beavenn to tbe Southward and Westward had assumed a most dismal and loweriag aspect, nnd it was much darker than when the ud rose; at first it bad tbe appearance of a very heavy squall or storm ap wroaching i but at it came nearer, it assumed a dusky red appearance, and continued to spread very fast over the heavens. By 10 it was so dark that lcpnld scarcely discern the ship from tbe shore thoach not a mile dUleot. I then returned on hoard. It was now evident that aa eruption bad taken lace from no me Volcano, and that the air was filled with abes or volcanic dut, which xlrendy began to fall on the deeks by It tbe whole of the heavens was obscured, except a small space near tbe beriioti to tbe eastward the wind being from that quarter, prevented for a short time the approach of the ashes it appeared like a streak of tight at day break, the mountains on Celebs being clearly visible, while ever other part of the horizon was enveloped in darknvs. The ashes now began to fall in showers, and the appearance altogether truly awful aud alarming.

By noon the light that had remained in tbe eastern part of the horiron disappeared, and complete darkness bad covered the fare of day our decks were soon covered with falling mstu the awnings were spread fore and aft, to prevent it at much at pos sible from getting below, but it was so light and I i .1 .1. I f.l.. ffUUIHe SLVai is prrvaucu orry psri sue nr. The darkness was to profound through (he remainder of tbe day, that I never saw any thine aqual to it in tbe darkest night it was Impossible to see your band when held up close to your eyes the a.hes Continued to fall without intermission through the night. At 6 the next morning, when tbe sun ought to have been seen, it still continued dark as ever, but at half past I had the satisfaction toyrceWe that the darkness evidently decreased, fend by 8, 1 could faintly discern objects on deck, from th's time it began to get lighter very fxst, and by half past 9 the shore wst distingnh ahle tseeshei falling in considerable quantities ttiostyb not to heavily as befor.

The appearance of the ship when daylight relumed was most extra ordinary, the masts, rigging, desk, aud every part being covered with the felling matter; it bad the appearance oi encinet! puniica stone, nearly the tain, i vs wuw mauai is iy ia neaps ot a loot is depfli many parti of the iTeck, end I arfc c4 vinced several tons weight were thrown board; for although a perfect impalpable powder or dust when it fell. It was when compressed of considerable weight a pint measure tilled with it sveigbed 1144 ounces, was perfectly tasteless, and did not affect tbe eyes with any painful sensation, bad a faint burnt smell, but nothing like sulphur. By noon on tbe lilh, the sun again appeared, hut very faintly through tbe dusky atmosphere the eir still being charged with the ashes, and which eontinaed to fall lightly all that day, and the succeeding one. On going on shore at Noressa, I tonne tne tace of the country completely covered to tne oeptn an inch and a Quarter ereat fesrs were enter Mined for the crop of paddy that was on the crounn. the young piante beiiig completely oeat' en down and covered by it.

The fi'h In the ponds at Moressa were killed and floating orsthe aurfsce. and many small birds lying dead on tbe ground. It took sevf ral dayt to clear the ship of tbe ashes; when mixed with water, they lormeu a tenacious mud, difficult to be washed off py Chronometer ttopped, owing I imagine to tome particles of dust bavine penetrated into it. From the 12th to the 1.1th the atmosphere still continued very thick and dusky from the ashts that remained suspended the rays ol the tun scarce able to penetrate through it, with little or no vt ind tbe waole lime. On the morning of the 15th, weighed from Ma cassar with a very i wind, and on the lotu made the Island of Sumbawa on approaching the coast passed through great quantities of pumice stone floating on the sea, which at erst had liio appearance of shoals, so much so, that 1 hove to and sent a boat to examine one, which, at the distance of less than a mile I took for a dry sand hank, ui wards of miles iu length, with bla rocks upon several parts of It.

concluding it to hs bem thrown up during the eruption it proved to bti a complete mats of pumice floating on ihessa, some inches in depth, with treat numbers oriarge trunks of teres mid togs among it, that appeared to be. burnt and shivered as if blasted by lightning. The boat id luurb difficulty in pulling through it and until we gt into the entrance of B'lua bay, the sea was literally covered with shoals of pumice and Hoatine timber. On. the 19th arrived in Bima buy in eomingto anchor, grounded on the bank, off Bima town, shoaling suddenly from 8 fathoms as tbe tide wa rising, hove tU again without any liifhciMy or da mage.

I imagine the anchorage at Bima must have altered i as where we grounded the termite earner a few months since lay at Anchor iu tlx fathoms. The'shorrs of Ibe bay had a most dreary appcaiknca, being entirely covered wilh ashes.even up tolbr tummilof tbe mountain the perpemKuular depth of the ashes as measured in tbe vicinity of Buna town, I found to be 4 inches and three quartnrs. Krottl the account (riven me by tbe residents of Kioia, it appears that lh eruption proceeded from the Tomboro mnuatain, situated about 40 mi let to the westward of Bima. On the night of the tltb tbe explosion be represents as most terrific, and compared tbesa to a heavy tuorlar fired close to bit ear. Tbe darkness cemmenced about in tbe morning and continued until the middle of the day, 18 bours longer than it did at Maeassar.

Tbe fall of ashes was so heavy as to break tbe roof of the residency house in many places, aad render it uninhabitable, as well as many other houses in the town. The wind was ttiil during the whole time, but the sea uncommonly aifitatod. the wives rolled in upon the shore and filled the lower part of the house, a foot deep every prow and boat wat for ced rrotn toe anchorage and driven on shore: several large prows ar now lyia a considerable dis tant above high water mark. At the time of our arrival at Bima no accounts whatever had been received of the state of the country since the eruption a messenger bad been dispatched by the Resident to Sumbawa .1 day. before, another was sent of ti Tomboro immediately after we landed as he was expected to be back i sue miru uay, i neieruuneu 10 wail OlS return.

On the id the Dispatch country shin arrived ia the bay from Amboyna this vessel bad mistaken a bay called Datnpo Sanjier bay for Bima and and had gone iuto it her host was on shore at Sanjier, the Haja of which ulace informed the OR ccr, that the greater part of the town and a num ber ot the people bad been destroyed by the erup tion that tbe whole country was entirely desolate and the crops destroyed. The town of San jier is situatedabout 4 or 5 leagues to tbe S. E. of lomnoro mountain tbe Officer found treat diffi culty in landing in the bay, a considerable dis tance iroru the shore being completely filled up with pumice stones, ashes, and logs of limber the bouses appeared beaten down aud covered with aib.es. At neither of the mestenrert had returned on the evening of the 22d, owing at tbe Resident supp'ist'd to the country being impassable, I did not think myself at liberty to detain the ship any longer.

I left tbe bay at 11 at night, and tbe next day was off tha Tomboro mountain. In passing it at Ibe distance of about 6 miles. the summit wat not visible, being enveloped in clouds of smoke aud ashes, the sides smoking in several places, apparently from the Lava which has flowed down it, tint being cooled several streams haver reached the sea. a very considerable one to the X. N.

W. of the mountain the course whibh was plainly diseernable both from tbe black color of tbe I.ava contrasted with the ashes cyi each side of it, and tbe smoke which arose from every part of it The Tomboro mountain in a direct linefroru Macassar is about SIT tttutic miles distant.

While thote to leading ttatet contain two sueh great men, at are now nsbered ta light, and offered to public tuffrsge; while the former eonaet forth with ber Simon the Tanner, and the latter with Daniel tbe Tatriot, it it no wonder that their rival claims threaten ta disturb the harmony of democracy. The following is the manner Id which the organ of Snyder't will sauakt of the late Rumination at Albaay Presidential ar.i Vite Presidential The Albany Register of Tuesday last, informs us that at a Caucus nf tbe republican members of tbe New York Legislature, held at the Capitol on Wednesday last.

Those who are acqamnted with tbe conduct of the New York Delegation at Washington, in re lation to the presidential election, cannot fail to be very much amused with the lingular modesty of tbe above proceeding and hope, nor can they fail to be etruck with the singular coincidence of conduct ia toe Aew Yorfcert at Albany and Wash ington.

Oeneralt Root and Van Ness have been pe ntliaih fortunate in anticipating the wbes and of their friends at Albany, a thounh it if to be feared that the recall their negotiations no not tally well with the expectations they had for med.

Polities of Kentutiy The following article is taken from a paper printed in Lexington, Ken tucky, and though the name of federalism is said to be uukojwn there, yet we ask with the poet, Whtl't in a name A rote, by any other name, would smell as street." From the Western Monitor, Feb. 9. The Hon.

Hufus King We copy tbe following tribute to the merits of this distinguished statesman from tbe Washington City Oarette, a papr avowedly hostile to tbe political principles of Mr. King. When such is tha laaguareesen of his en emies, how extlt'd, how unblemished, must be the character of this man bpeaking of tbe candidates fur the presidency, the editor observes 7 he federalists would naturally incline to the honorable Rufus New York, at present a Senator in Congress, and a gentleman of integrity and Intents; but, unfortunately for tbe prospect of bit elevation, be it committed with tbe public upon political principles which are con demned by a majority of the people." Here we bog leave to remark, that the writer is certainly mistaken, ben he asserts that Mr. King's political principles are condemned by a majority of the people. It is true the people will not generally profess themselves to be federalists, (and the name is certainly immaterial) but we challenge this, or arry othtr liter, lo poiutoula ingle prinapleeier professed bv Mr.

King, wuirn is not practically acknowledged to be correct by our present administration or to skew us a tingle actiou of Mr. King's life, which hat tended, iu the remotest degree, to the injury of bit country. In a subsequent number, tbe same editor remarks It it wall known that what mat luit print net. is towsjps the republican party. It is believed that notbincofthatcuaracteristic is baearded by speaking with frankness and sincerity of aa eminent individual of the opposition.

Upon federal ground, no maa stands higher in the eye ottbe na rtion than the honorable Hufut King: Chief Jut lica Marshall probably stands at high. In diplomacy, in constitutional knowledge, and legisla tive skill, Dir. King it wen innruciea. lie its, besides, et tbit day, an advantage, common but to a tinail number of persons. He wat a member of the old congress, under the absolute confederation.

This is a sanctifying circumstance in tea eyrt of the people, for it suppoiet at once an intimate knowledge of the elements and fabric of every de partment ot our Ksis'ernment. It it principle whiab divides the rtajorily from Mr. King; but if federal tti'inionecould prevail, be would assuredly be the fcvonte." If by federal opinions the writer here meant tbe CTeat system national policy adopted by the first administrations of our government, and uni formly supported by the present opposition party. we take the liberty once more to ruinatk, that opinions do now prevail, and we are utterly unable to discern hat principle it is wbicb divides the majority from Mr. King, unless we call by that name a mere party prejudice, and an obstin acy wticb even conviction cannot overcome.

Extract from a Utter of William Taylor, Esquire, Agtntfor the United Stalts at Port uu.Prince, to a eomnurtial house in this city. PORT AU PRINCE, Jan. 19, 1816 41 Circumstances originating with my appoint ment, and over which I had no control, detained me in tbe United Stales until the 1st iast. at which time 1 eubarktd at Norfolk and arrived here on thelfitb I find the market too deplorably bad to autho rise any shipment thit way at it regards Ameri can produce tbe quautity now on hand forbids the bopeof a favorable change for tome time to come. English and Germsn goods in vessels direct from Europe are in great abundance and very low.

French goods still continue to pay, and East India goods are scarce and in demand but it is my sin cere belief that none other than the most ruinous trade can be carried on with tbit island for some months to cooie. Tbe old crop of sugar has lot since disap peared, and the new crop will not be in market before de month of April, at least not fit to ship before that lime. Coffee is scarce and very fttgn, and will doubtless continue so until the ships now ia port shall have completed their purchases. Cotton, cocoa and molasses, though never abundant are now total strangers ia our market, and ia a short time we shall not be able to tend yoa lorwood, at the late additional duty on that article aicounti to a prohibition.
