Friday, July 27th. We opened in Algiers to a full house. The population of this city is estimated at seven 'y or eighty thousand, one half of which are Kn ro pes ns. There are also about two thousand soldiers within thu walls, and about sixty thous and stationed throughout the interior. The Trench possessions extend lour or five hundred miles along the coast, and ninety miles into the interior. Oran, Bond, and Constantino, are ve ry considerable towns. The two former have good harbors. The view of Algiers on entering ! the harbor is magnificent ; the snow-white build ings extending from the water nearly to the top of the hill, contrast beautifully with the black spars and purring of the ninny vessels anchored in front. I,ooking to the right yon see the barracks neatly built on the level shore, ut the I foot of the high ridge which extends along the Const, studded with beautilul country seats of white freestone, or plastered buildings of Moor j ish architecture, shaded with evergreens. To j the li ft of the town on the top of the hill, stands j Fort I Kniperiur, which was the first point J taken by the French. They landed six miles west of the city, and with some difficulty took ; this tort, from which they bombarded the town, ' and in a very short time took it. The city and surrounding ceuntry has been greatly im ' proved in the thirteen years the French have ' had possession of it. The lower part of the ci ty has been entirely rebuilt, and some fine sK, Mpiares and buildings tuny he found; but in the upper part, the alleys for they cannot be call ed streets twist and turn under and through the stone buildings ; some are entirely closed ver head, admitting no light excepting at ei- TIIK JllMATl'RK. kv Mas. ,r. ii. l.

These two in ilivirhiils were employed by the General Go vernment to explore the North West Territory from Iho Mississippi across the Rocky Moun tains, down the Columbia river to the Pacific. A correspondent of the North Arkansas, a pa per published in llatesvillo, Arkansas, gives an interesting narration of the fate of Capt. Geo. Mr-rriweather Iewis, one of the persons em ployed in the expedition, whos (ate has hither to been shrouded in mystery. The writer of the narration is at present a teacher in the Chero kee nation, and assures the editor of the "Ar kansas" that the facts set forth are substantially true; tint he became acquainted with Mrs. Grinder a person who is referred to in the narration while stationed lor several months in her neighborhood. The w riter goes on to say that Lewis and Clark, accompanied by from seventy to a hun dred others, commenced their expedition about the year 103 or l-'O-t. and completed it in a- bout three years. They were men of great enterprise, bravery and usefulness. He then calls attention to Capt. Lew is, ami the question is asked, where is he ! and he replies, his mor tat remains are deposited in the south west cor ner of Maury county. Tennessee, near Grinder's old Stand, on the Natchez trace, where Law rence, Maury and Nickman counties corner to gether. When I visited ttie grave, says the writer, in ISH, I could scarcely distinguish it from the common ground, it being grown over with shrubbery of different kinds and no stone, no palings, no monument to tell whose grave it w as. Grinder's old stand had long been con sumed to ashes, and there was no house within several miles. The old field was grown up w ith bushes and briars, and it was lately a dreary, soliiBry looking place. There is something very mysterious connect ed with the d. iith of Capt. Lewis, which in all robiibiliy will never he developed until "the 'cad, sn all and great shall stand before God." lie gives the following particulais as he re ceivnllhem from Mrs. Grinder, the lady at whose house lie terminal?!! his mortal career She said that Mr. Lew is was on his way to the city of Washington, accompanied by a Mr. Pvrna and a seivant belonging to Major Nee- One ( veiling, a little befjre Sundown, Mr. Lew is called at her house and asked for lodg ings. Mr. Grinder not being at home, she hesi- tated to take him in. Mr. Lewis informed her that two other men would be along presently, who also wished to spend the night st her house, ami as they were all civil men, he did rot think there would be any impropriety in her o-viiig litem accommodations for the night. Acer i.tingly sue consented to let them stay Mr. L w is dismounted, fastened his horse, took a seat by the side of Ihe house, and appeared qmle sociable.

Mr. Lewis immediately drew a brace of pistols, stepped towards them and challenged them to fight a duel. They not I king this salotinn, rode onto the next house, live miles This alarmed Mrs. Grinder. Sup per, however, was ready in a few minutes.

One night, old Peleg, as he was called, told his son Gucom, a boy of fourteen. jears old, to go and bring in a backlog, fur the Are. A backlog, you know, Squire, in a wood fire, is always tha biggest stick you can find or m . 1 & I : A carry. It lanes a flout junK oi a ooy io mi one. "Well as soon as Gucom poos to fetch the og, the oh! Squire drags forward the coals, and fixes the fire so as to leave a bed for it, and stand by ready to lift it into its place. Present ly in comes Gucom with a liitle cat stick, no " bigger than his leg, and throws it on. Lncla Peleg got so mad, he never said a word, but just seized his ridin' whip, snd gave him a' most an awful wliippin.' He tanned his hide proper ly for him you may depend. 'Now, go, sir, and bring in a proper backlog.' "Gooutn was clear grit as well as the old man, for he was chip of the old block, and no mis lake ; o out he goes without so much as sayin a wo'd, but instead of gom'totlm wood pile, he walks off altogether, and siaid away eight years, till he was one-and-tweiity, and his own master. Well, as soon as he w as a man grown, and lawfully on his own hook, he took it into his head one day he'd go home and see his old father and mother agin, and show them he w as alive and kickiu', for they didn't know w hether he was dead or not, never haviti' heard of or from him one blessed word all that time. When he arrived at the old house, daylight was down and the lights lit, snd as he passed the kecpin' room winder, he looked in, and there was old Squire sittin' in the same chair he was eight years afore, when he ordered the backlog, and gave him such an numercil'ul whippui'. So what does Gocuni do, but btops at the wood pile, and picks up a most hagacoous log, (for he grow'd to be a' most thunderin' big feller then,) and openin' the door he marches in and lays it down on the hearth, and then lonkin' up ssis he " 'Father, I've brought you in that back log. "Uncle Peleg was struck up all of a heap ; he couldn't be'ieve his eyes, that that great six footer was the boy he had cow-hided, and he couldn't believe his ears when be heard him call !..r d bv the report of a pistol, and quickly af- . ,jm ftther ; a man from the grave wouldn't ter l-.v.i other r. ports in the room where tbe have surprised him more, ont'akilired, and he. !h rs w. iv.
