I can say little of their manners

but take notice of one very remarka

laudable one, and should think it a
decent thing to be introduced among
the ladies of Christian countries.

WASHINGTON, September 12.
Since the notice we took a few days,
since of the misrepresentation in the
English prints, of Mr. Pinkney’s
speeches, we have received the Lon
don Courier of the 23d of June and
he Morning Chronicle of the 25lh ol
the same month, which corroborate
our statement. As the remarks as
cribed to Mr. Pinkney have pro
duced no small sensation in this coun
try to his prejudice, it is but justice
to him to republish the following ar
ticles. The Morning Chronicle, we
are advised, gives Mr. Pinkney’s re
marks correctly. It is proper to add,
on an incidental topic, that we have
the authority of a letter, written by
a respectable American in London,
lor saying that Mrs. Pinkney so far
from wearing diamonds, on her ap
pearance at court was plainly attir

and “ Your Imperial Majesty owes
