In the kingdom ol Dahomey, a dis trict of Upper Guinea, in Africa, a cu rious custom prevails of training wo men to arins. Within the walls of the different royal palaces in Dahomey, arc immured not less than three thousand women. ’ Several hundred of these are trained to the use of arms, under a fe male general, and subordinate officers appointed by the king, in the same man ner as. those under his Agnow, or male general. These Amazonian warriors are regularly exercised, and go through their evolutions with as much exact ness as the male soldiers. They have their large umbrella's and their flags, their drums, trumpets, flutes, and other musical instruments. -The'women as sist to guard the palaces, and on great emergencies they take the field, the king at their head.

A physician is appointed to superin tend this strange establishment of humanity towards the animal world.— Another singular custom prevails at Surat among the Pat'sees. They hold as the greatest honor that can be done i to the memory of the deceased of their 1 sect, to expose the body to be devour ed By birds of prey. About a mile from the city they have a place to which they carry their'dead; this is. within a circular wall, open at* the lop, and twelve feet high, and one hundred feet in circumference.

Prof. Bronson is going about the country, giving lessons for from 35 ro $50, to en- ! able persons to preserve or regain their 1 sight, in the above manner. He claims to be the discover of the idea; aud it may be original with bim. Yet says the “ Phrenological Journal,” it was known long before Bronson’s birth. perhaps it would he betier to refer i the acts, as he himself cites them.-— Here is what he says: * * The second section of the apt of the 28th of Febnary, 1795, declares that whenever the laws of the Untted States shall be opposed, or their ex ecution obstructed, in any Stale, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary coarse of judicial proceedings, or the power vp*t- hals, the President may call forth far as may be necessary to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be du- cxccuted. , . - By lhe act of March 3d, 1807, it Is provided that, where it is lawful for the President to call forth the militia for the purpose ot. causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for bint to employ, for the same purposes, each part ofthe land or na val force of the United Slates as shall be judged necessary.” These are the acts of Congress upon which he relies. The first, it will be perceived,, only authorizes him in cer tain cases to call out the militia ; the se cond authorizes him, in all similar cases, to U3C the army and navy if necessary. He has, however, no authority, under either act, to, use the army and navy, or to call out the militia, for the purpose of aiding in the execution of the laws, ex cept in such cases as are provided for by the act of 1795. And what are those cases ? They are such nb where the law s may be opposed in their execu tion, or obstructed in any State, by;com binations too powerful to be suppressed, by-1 be ordinary course of judicial proceed ings, or flic "power rested in the marshals. This is the only class of cases where the President is authorized to use the ililary force of the country to aid in the execution of the laws of the United States. It is where the due course of law, through the courts dm! by the mar shals, is opposed and obstructed, or where the combinations in resistance to law “are loo powerful to be suppress ed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or the power vested in the marshals.” . <.-:*<• Now, sir, is there any such case, in the territory over which Texas is about to establish , her jurisdiction; Is there any law/any.act. of.Congres in force there which canunt he executed in the oriftbi^yCfHirsc.-of juidiciai prdcecdings?

You have passed no law for the country, even on the sup position that it rightfully belongs to you, and not io Texas.. If the country be longs to tljc United Stales by conquest, as the President says, then its govern ment devolves upon Congress. But Congress, as yet, has provided no gov ernment for it.
