OVERSTREET, I MOSES HERBERT, l GEORGE SCHLEY. ■ The following letter from an American gentle. I ‘ man at Aleppo, to his friend in this city, will j I undoubtedly be read with much interest. It i throws considerable light upon the jurispru-. prudence of that portion of the Turkish em-; pirej and it is a practical comment, or the evils flowing from an arbitrary administration I es die laws. — Ed. Afu*.] K “Americans can have but a very inadequate idea If the happiness flowing from just laws honestly ■ administered, until absence from the country af | fords them an opportunity of contrast; it is then | that-they learn to appreciate justly the benefits | of free government and the ennobling princi | pies of honor and integrity. These remarks are I suggested by an occurrence in this city, which I an honest Judge would term a flagitious violation I of private rights', but which the’ judekd officer of this province on a plenary hearing, has consider ed nothing more than a breach of politeness, a mere encroachment on good breeding, an obser vance of which he says, is not to be expected and certainly will not be exacted from the exe cutive officers under his control. To understand correctly the transaction which I am about to communicate, you must be apprised that the I court iu which the trial occurred i a constituted ‘ precisely like the tribunal, which in the state of: Georgia, it denominated the Superior Court, the enly difference being in the name of the officers, a distinction which for the sake of perspicuity l •hall on this occasion omit. The circumstances developed in the course of the investigation were u follows:—A respc table woman from one of the lonean Isles who has lived several year* in this place, some months since disappointed the rapacity of one of the constables, by arresting from him part of her property which he had ille gally seized, and thus preventing the pecuniary benefit, which the fellow in his cupidity had no doubt liberally anticipated; highly incessed-at his defeat be vowed the moat direful vengeance which circumstances should at any future period enable him to inflict, and true to his purpose sought fnost sedulously aucli means of penal re tribution as would appease his unmanly malignl * ty; after fostering this evil intention for five months, the following circumstance furnished in his view tli* favorable expedient for the exe cution of his dark purpose. There was in the possession of another officer, a warrant issued from a neighbor r.g Province, di recting the arrest of an unmarried wo...an on a charge . v(c “ste practices. The family name of this p j was similar, to that of the lady against whose peace this const',ble was conspir ing, but the first, or as we call it the christin name was quite different ‘and she was a single, whilst the other had been a married woman and notwitstanding these marked differences of wh.ch he was fully apprised, and a full knowledge on his part derived from a long standing acquain tance with the object of his persecution, t. at she had r.eVer been in this section of the coun try, whence tliic process emanated he undertook to execute the warrant on this unprotected fe male and to blast her reputation by publicly pro claiming her identity with the infamous person •gainst whom it was directed, and most igr.omin-’ iously dragged her through the street* answering her protestation* of innocence with opprobrious arid vulgar retorts and with a grossneas of cruel ty which civilization could never tolerate, called on a rabble throng by which he was attended, to assist him in subduing a woman who made resis tance to his authority, hi this manner and in stormy weather was thi* lady forced through the ?}tv,the object of remarks & suspicion & compell ed to plead her innocencejbefore a justice of the peace, and obtain her release by disproving the infamous and indecent charge preferred ."gainst w. . To punish this violation of the lawW ami ouL Js ge on private feelings and personal rights..— 1 his constable \va3 indicted before * jury of the country: accused by the prosecutor aud by coun cil defended—the facts which I have stated were proved and the case su milled under a charge from the judge. By aiViogy you would doubt- Jess expect from this chief of the law’s severe de nounciation against its delinquent officers, charg ing the jury to find a verdict under which lie Could teach these invested with authority, that policy if not principle renders moderation and justice preferable to violence and iniquity; but Unfortunately this teamed scribe Zither entirely hiisapprehended the case or most wickedly mis represented it by arguing as in a court of chival *■.'/>against the uncivility not illegality of the act ind instead of urging his conviction to appease die violated feelings of a virtuous and injured in-, dividual and expiate his crime against society and flte laws, sought to diminish the offence by at jemptingto abstract from it its acknowledged m rjnity, jfo'd ftctetio’usjjf ststinjythat certainly the ‘rentUmen bailiffs were hot proverbial for their f politeness, but that inasmuch as they had proba bly never been students of the graces, refine ment of conduct could not reasonably be expec ted and th at he felt bound to protect them with in duty, however uncourteous the manner of its exercise might be. During this charge there was between the judge & the nication by smiles and grimace, which . was suffi cient to convince an attentive observer the difference between them was more in their sta tions, than their characters—a general feeling of indignation seemed to pervade the audience, and nothing but the terrors of authority prevented an audible expression of thjs virtuous sentiment. The expounded of the law involuntarily plac ed their hands upon the statute book as if to pro tect it from pollution and individuals unconnec ted with authority nerved t heir arms to resist its violence. Such a despatch of the jaw'3, such an infringement of personal sights, and public mo - rals was to the people anew excitement, but it was as deep as it was novel, and will be as effec tive as it is honorable, for When added to the manifold improprieties that already dishonor him, there will be an accumulation of charges at the fountain of authority, which must prove in separabl e to the deepest int rigue, if virtue be not entirely driven from the councils of the country. After reading this case I should be pleased with an expression of opinion and feeling from you, ; what would be said or done in your section ofthe j world where laws govern and judges are selected I for their intelligence and honesty if such proceed ings were attempted, events like this furnish tests of national as well as individual character, and in a free country where the liberty of the press affords an opportunity of discussing public wrongs, would aecura th* severest ammadvsr tions.” Accounts from Buenos Avres, to the 23d of. March, by the Laura Ann, states that Flour was i then selling at about 20 dollars per bbl—but i would probably decline materially should any considerable quantity arrive, and a number of . cargoes were then due The produce of the country was high.

States. Little Uncle, (Arkansas) April 2. Colonel A. buckle and Maj. VVm. Brad ford of the U. S. Aruiy, arrived al this . place on Saturday evening last, from Fort Smith, which place they left on the Sunday previous. Major Branford has been trans ferred to the military post at Natchitoch es, on Red river, and is or. his way to take charge of his command. Tne detachment ol the 7th regt. Infan try which passed this place in February last, arrived at Fort Smith on the 26th of that month, and we are happy to learn, that they were left in an improving and much better stateof health, than they have en joyed for several months. The inen be ■ lodging to that detachment, have been se verely afflicted with the dysentary, ever since they left the Mississippi, and a large proportion ol those attacked have fell vic i titns to the disease. We understand, how , ever, that no new esses of the disease have I occurred since their arrival on the Arkan i sas, but several have been laboring under , it for some tune, and four men have died . since their arrival at the fort. They are now arrived in comfortable quarters, in a . remuikably healthy part of our country, where their wants and necessities can be much better administered to, than they could possibly be in their late disagreeable ! situation on board of crowded boats, and it , i* expected that the usual good health of the garrison will soon be restored. ’ As an evidence of the healthy situation of Fort Smith, it is worthy of remark, that | not a solitary death by sickness has occur | red among the soldiers under Maj. Brad ’ ford’s command, since the establishment of the post, four years ago, until since the 1 late augmentation of the force. The force : now there, consists of about 230 soldiers. There is an excellent farm of about 80 : acres belonging to the fort, which is culti ; vated by the soldiers, and affords them an 1 abundant supply of a great vuriety of ve getables; and they how have about 1000 ■ bushels of corn, remaining of the last years ’ crop. Os stock, there are about 10Q head ! of neat cattle, and about 400 head of hogs. The Cherokees and Osage s.—A war par : tv of tiie former passed Fort Smith about ! 20 or 25 days since on an excursion against a village of the former on the Os - age River. The Rev. Mr. Chapman, ot the Union s Missionary establishment on the grand Rt t ver, arrived here last evening on his way 1 to New-Oi leans, on business relating to the t Society. He left Fort Smith on Tuesday f morning last, arid informs us that one or - two other parties of the Cherokees have - lately gone against the Usages. One of t the parties passed up on the south side of : the Arkansas, and.it is said, had stolen se veral horses from 8 white man, living on f the Pwto, about 12 miles above the fort.— - The fact, howuvr, we believe, had not been - ascertained, Okx. f The keel of the line of battle ship about to be laid down in Philadelphia, is intend de, we hear, for a vessel of 140 guns.

We can vouch for the correctness of the fol lowing article from the Cat skill Recorder, as the Scottish gentleman called upon us for an intro duction to “Fiona,” and the application was made in our office -V. T. Jlftr. Adv. | “The Author of “Florio.”—lt gives ns pleasure! to mention the following facts,because they are actually complimentary to the author of ‘Florin,’ and credible to the literature of our country.— A gentleman of the name of Minnons is publish ing a work at Edinburgh, entitled ‘Literary Co ronal; the first volume of whic.i—an elegant duo decimo of about 300 pages, with engravings—is already issued. Having met with some of the productions of Tlor'io,’ he wrote to a gentleman in the country, directing to procure as many of them, for insertion in the ‘Coronal,’ as the author would consent to part with. The resultofthisisan engagement on the part of ‘Florio’ to furnish Mr. Minnons with forty pieces.
