FARTHER PARTICULARS.


The wood used in Tripoli, is brought IN
on Jack Asses; six OF them carry about halt
Il cord.


There are many remains of antiquity in
Tripoli There are nine pillars to the por-
tico of the house in which the American Of
fcers lived. They are OF marble, and have
the appearance of great antiquity. There
are many columns If Roman and Grccian
architecture, wrought into the corners OF
some of the houses without form or regular
ty. The streets Of rripol are narrow and
dirty, and the houses present dead wall.
Many of the houses are partly composed OF
broken marble, full of engrayings and in
scriptions, mostly defaccd.


Marriages are proclaimed in Iripoli by
one or two old women, who run through the
streets, making a most hideous yelling, and
frequently clapping their hands to their
mouths, similar to the American Indians III
their ho7e l'o7cs


The following principal articles of faith,
constitute the religion of the Turks That
there is but one God and that Mahomet IS
the Messenger of God. Their command
ments are but five in number viz:


lst. TO pray five times a day.


Cd. To fast in Lent, or rpmadan.


3d. To give aims, and perform works Of


ch lrlty.


4th. To go On pilgrimage 10 Mecca.


5th. 10 keep the body clean.


Four other points are deemed of import
ancc, though not Of absolute necessity to
salvation, VIZ To keep Friday as Sabbath,
to be circuncised: to drink no vine; and 70
abstain from swine flesh, or things strangletl.
Many Of the inhabitants Of l,ripoli strictly
adhere to this religion.
