NEW ENGLAND FARMER.

ade in tlie direction of Missolonphi. We have no 

 fear, as tlie garrison is well supplied with provision 

 and ammunition. 



The London Courier of the 3d of May says, " it 

 seems certain that Ibrahim received a mortal 

 wound, and the account of his death had been of- 

 ficially received at Corfu from Previsa on the 4th 

 of April. Three Tartars were dispatched to the 

 latter place for a Surgeon, but before they could 

 return with medical aid, this celebrated cheiftan 

 had expired. — These particulars do not rest upon 

 our autliority, nor are they derived from any single 

 place ; but we find them concurrently given under 

 the dates of Leghorn, Corfu, Zante, Trieste, Rome, 

 Ancona, &.C." This paper contains some rumours 

 about the interference of Russia in behalf of the 

 Greeks; but they come in a questionable shape — 

 The probability is that Greece will liave help e- 

 nough offered the moment (and not before,) that 

 she ceases to need assistance. 



500 feet long, and contain cells for 800 prisoners, 

 one in each cell. The labour is done by prisoners 

 entirely. The work, doors of iron, locks, keys, 

 &c. particularly, is described as being extremely 

 well done. The prisoners are in the open field at 

 work, not confined, and guarded only by a few 

 sentinels. The Commercial Advertiser says, an 

 attempt at escape would be resisted by more than 

 half the convicts. They are all very healthy, and 

 have a good supply of wholesome food, being it is 

 said, more and better than the army rations. 



The new sloop of war, Ltxingion, W. B. Shub- 

 rick, conunauder, was expected to sail from New- 

 York on the 12th inst. destined to the coast of 

 Labrador, to look after the rights of our fisher- 

 men. [Patriot.]

The London papers are filled with details of 

 Riots in the manufacturing districts, grow ing out 

 of the present commercial embarrassments. When 

 the ministers of England are obliged to resort to a 

 military force to put down the clamors of the peo- 

 ple, tlie distre«:S must be great indeed. 



Great efforts have been made in various parts of 

 the kingdom for relieving the existing distress. — 

 In London the subscriptions in one day amounted 

 to upwards of 18,000 pounds — {eighty thousand 

 dollars! ! J 



The preparations for the duke of Devonshire's 

 mission to Russia are of the most magnificent kind. 

 A single order for silver plate amounts to about 

 $70,000. His suite include many of his near rela- 

 tioiris, and very particular friends, tlie selection of 

 whom is left, entirely to iiimself. 



The spirit of emigration from upper Germany 

 to South America is very active among the middle 

 and lower orders.

Fire at Portlur.d. — On Sunday last a groat fire 

 took place at Portl ind. It commenced about 3 

 o'clock in the morning in an unfinished wooden 

 store in Front street, owned by Mr Thaxter, and 

 conBUined from 2.5 to 30 bjildings. We have not 

 room for a detailed account of this cabunity, but can- 

 not omit the following occurrence. Mr.\llen Hajnb- 

 len narrowly escaped being burnt in Mr Barnes' 

 house ; he appeared at the garret window 25 or 30 

 feet from the ground, when the lower part of the 

 building was in a light blaze, so that a retreat was 

 impossible except by a leap froui the window, or 

 by a descent on the spout, which was so far dis- 

 tant, that no one under different circumstances 

 would on any consideration, have attempted to 

 pass that way. His situation excited for a few 

 moments exquisite pain ; it w as the agony of sym- 

 jjathy. He escaped by the spout, but he had 

 scarcely secured his hold upon it, when the fire 

 followed him from the window. 



C.\THEDRAL AT ROUEN. 

 Some four years since the spire of the Cathe- 

 dral at Rouen, in France, was destroyed by fire, 

 occasioned by lightning. Preparations were soon 

 after made to re-build the spire of cast iron, and 

 considerable progress has been made in the work. 

 The tower on which the spire is to be erected, is 

 completed. The angles of the tower will be orna- 

 mented with four minarets, and the spire from the 

 ground will be 442 feet in height, and thus surpass 

 any other in Europe. A spiral stair case wiU lead 

 to a lanthern, serving the purpose of Astronomical 

 observations, and which will be surmounted with 

 a cross. 



I Canal Rerenue. — If our readers are not generally in

 ' forms us, that he received for canal toils in one day, 

 [during the past month. $1006 — and during the same 

 I week, $5574, averaging nearly cue thousand dollars

The small pox has made its appearance among 

 the Choctaw Indians, and the disease is stated to 

 be raging to an alarming extent. A medical gen- 

 tleman has been employed, in Alabama, \\'ho is to 

 go to their relief, and to innoculate the Indians 

 with vaccine virus.
