Captain Caldwell, of the brig Os- pray, from Mocha, states that Gin No vember 1850, he visited Jidda, and hois- ted the first American flag that had ever been seen at that place, which ere ated considerable excitement among the people--as none but of the grade of Admiral had the privilege to show the flag of their country. Capt. Caid- we'll was, however treated kindly. The Inhabitants was very inquisitiye to know who the Americans were. Capt. C.. has brought letters 10 the United States, that came across the Desert of Jidda. :"

 Jidda, or Juda, is a considerable com Hercial haven of Arabia, on the shore of the Red Sea. It may be considered as the port of Mecca; it is supported partly by it's trade with India and Egypt, and partly by the Mahomedan pilgrims. The English have had some trade with this place, and the .A,nef4eaas haOe had commerce aeith it loo, as we learn from BurclShardt and other travellers; which makes us incline to the opinion that our flag was seen in that part of the world previous to the arrival of Capt. Caldwell.
