"Tbo Navnrino business now gave a polit
ical turn to their discussions, and many of
their opinions of European policy and power
were so singular, that I could with difficulty
bring myself to think they wero seriously de
livered.
“A fierce looking little man, with a green
turban, high in office, broached the subject
of the late bnttlc : 'Giaours liavo burned our
ships,’said lie,'but God will burn them, hell
is a hot couch,& a greivous onoit shall bo to
them, we aro told by tho prophot.’ ‘Picaso
tie Lord,’ responded a fat merchant, and bis
Inehallah was doled out with groat dovotion.
'Wore all the ships in the world joined against
the Sultan in the battle /’ asked an Arab
Sheik in tbo simplicity of his heart; ‘Ay,all,
answered on Ulomn of great eminence, ‘all
the Caffrcesof Frngucstan were leagued n-
gainst the true believers,how else could they
prevail? what Ion of them could face one (ruo
Moslem ? but ten thousand to one aro too
grcBt odds ; St wero (hero not forty thonsaod
ships ngiinstus? Allah Wakbar,' said an
Kffendi, a man of learning, ‘there is but one
God, and if the Eoglish wero not at Navari-
no, tho Francowe, the Ncmpsowa, and the
Muscown, would now bo food for tho kolp ol
bnhr,’ the sea dogs. 'Allah Karim !’ ejacu
lated an old priest, 'God is most most meroi-
ful.it is only Ihe infidels who say that the ships
of tho Sultan worn burned ; it is impossible
because the Giaours could not burn them.’
‘Callam thaib !' cried a dozen of tho party, it
ia well apokon, it is tho ships of the unbeliev
ers that are burned, not tho Sullao’s.
Did not the Algerines.’ said a grave old
men, 'destroy the entire fleet of Iho English a
few yoars ago, and where were they to find
another all at onco ? is a ship like a paatek.a
wtiler melon ? does it grow in tho land ? is
iUUrbarein drop? dots it fall from the skv ?'
'Wallah callam thaib I’ God was called to
witooas by aavcral, that it was a good saying.
'“ Tha English aro n groat pooplo, 1 laid a
young Malirn, a secretary of tbo govqruar’a
' they era a very groat people, what razors
nan be comparod to English ? what pialoli
via with those of England ? do not the Pa
cha's cannons eomn from England?’ * It in
very true,’ ropliod tlm Vlotp», • nnfl. they
the dogs of France and Eoglaud,but the lat
ter must hove it.’ • If either of the Caffres
most have it,’ aaid tho fat morchnnt, ' let it
bo the French \ if wo only could keep our
monoy and onr women oat of (heir, roach,
they'are good humoured infidels enough:
they ioso fantasia, they are always merry.”
It was nut easy,’ said the divine, ‘when
they were here, to Keep oitlter, onr mo
or onr women from the Caffres—confusion
Io their race tho other infidolds plundered
tho poplo less; but who loved them more ?
Were they not both the enomies of God’a
prophet nud his laws ?”<
A good looking young man in nn Araaout
uniform, wbo had hitherto boon silent, /gave
Ids opinion of the two powers: ‘ Tho Eng
lish Giaours,’ said lie, 'have most money,
because they have oDly to send to India for
as many ship loads as they please, end they
can batter afford to pay men forjfighting for
them thnn the others. Tho French bring
no money with thorn; wherever they go
they pillage, but tlioy ncver.taUn a paras o-
way with them aller all. Whichovcr gives
Ihe best thyme, ratioos, is the Giaour for an
Arnaout ’
‘ Surely,’ exclaimed tlio Malim, ' yon
would not draw your sword fora dog,
Christain ?’
' For no man who did not pay me,’ repli
ed Ihe Arnaout, evading the question,
‘ What, for a Caffre ?' rejoined the Mel
im.
‘ Why not,’ aaid the Arnaout, ‘ when the
business is to cut another Cadre's throat ?’
This was a good joke, and every nno felt
himself bound to laugh. When sileuco was
restored, Ihe lawyer pot o question which
puzzled the whole assembly exceedingly :
• Where is England ?’ • England,’ replied
the priest, with the supercilious air of supe
rior knowledge, ‘ England ia in London !'
ql.a ! In ! mnush diddi,’ cried the Effeodi,
the man of learning; 4 England ia not in
London, London is only a belted, a town but
England is in the groat Bea of the north, it is
an Island, like America, which is also Eng
lish.'
‘ That’s impossible,' said Ihe lawyer, ' so
great a notion never could bo an Island, arc
tho people of.Scio or Cyprus to be compared
to the English, and are not both those places
Islunds ?’
• Do the French como from ao Island to ?'
said a Sheik, from Assouan, who hod never
seen nn Island but that of Elephantine, -there
cannot be many of them then,'
When they were here,’ said the Mudtim
there was no scarcity of thorn, they were
forty thousand strong in Bcanderia alone.'
‘Do not talk of thousands,’ exclaimod the
priest, callam milliouni, the word is millions;
were tlioy not like locusts from Scanderiato
Assouan ?’
With ten thousand Arnaouts,’ said Ihe
young soldier, ‘I would have driven them in
to tho sea, overy Coffro of them. How nn-
ny thousands of English did wo not trample
oo, in Iiaschid a few years ago ?’
They were five aod twenty thousand
Btrong in Rosetta,’ said the lawyer, and they
were all slain.’
Not all,’ answered the Effendi, 'the Gene
ral got his life, but they were oely five thou
sand of them altogether.’
'Five thousand or twenty,' cried the law
yer, 'ia it not all the same thieg : were they
not all infidels, aod were (hoy not vanquish
ed with the sword of Islam ?’
'Allah karim,’ cried the priest, ‘God is most
merciful; such be the fate of all wbo believe
not in tha true prophet, to whose name be
eternal glory.’
If tho Sultan, said the Effendi, 'had taken
off tho heads of (he Janissaries n hundred
years ago, the law of Islam would now be
spread over tho whole earth.’
‘As it is,’ replied the priest, 'are not (ho
truo believers like the etars of heaven ? who
can count them ? is not their Umpire over tho
wholo earth from the risiog oven to tho set.
ling place of the sun ?’
‘It is not in the Frozen Ocean, however,'
said tha Lovantine, ‘there are no Moslems
there.’
‘It is a lie,’ said the priest, 'they are every
where, the prophot has said it,'
'What, in America ?’soid tho Lovantine,
it was only discovered a few years ago ?’
Well, llion, if it was not known to Ihe
prophet,’ replied the priest, ‘of course he had

•But,’ continued the Levaotine, in a low
voice, 'the law of the prophet could not bo
intended for all mankind.’
‘It was meant for tha nniversa,’ said the
priest, ‘and hell’s fire is tha portion of him
who rejects it.’
If every man is bound to fast the Rama

vantine, 'on the pain of reprobation, the
Moslems of the Frozen Oooan, where the
days are six months long, would feel aome

‘I do not bells vail,'cried tha print in a
fury, ‘who over saw a day six months long ?
who could sleep an entire night of six months
long?—no man.’
‘But I read it in « book,’ said the Levan
tine, 'written by the famous Vnlnay.’

Providence " Subaltern” who raised! the >
it. conteiln'
Clay flag on tho 10th of April last, contests
the late assertion of tho National Journal,
that “ Ihe Into Secretary of State .was not be
foro tho public a candidate for Hie Presiden
cy,"and that no paper entitled to credit had.
made such n nomination. .Tho Subaltern
then undertakes " for tbo information of Mes
srs. Peter Force Si Co. to state a lew facte;”
that in March last, a few of Mr. Clay’s "warm
friends in Rhode Island” accidentily met nt
a public placo, and look a vole between tho
several candidates for the Presidency—Bmoog
whom Mr. Olay got 179, and Trietam Bur
gess 75, out of the 217 personsTlresent—and
that they then determined to announce at
once their determination to support him with
their honrts end thoir hands Cor " the distin
guished post of honor for which ho is a can
didate.” Tbo Editor of.the Subaltern, how
ever, bad but ono objection to this nomination;
" and that waa, that aa the union, had for
more than four years, been agitated almost to
its centre, by tlm political jarrings of tho
times, w’e thought tho country needed repose,
and required it for her happiness aod solely.”
Moreover "as we did not know what Mr.
Clay's views wero, and wero not certain that
he would conBent to be a candidate,we doubted
the expediency of tho course proposed, until
bo or his more immediate frionCs had been
consulted;—consequently, we did not at tho
moment comply with tho wishes of our friends
and political coadjutors. Id tho mean time,
wo took Ihe necessary steps to oscertoin the
propriety of the proposed course of conduct,
and wc had it from higr zutizoiutx. that
Mr. Clay submitted tho question of the
presidency to the American people and was
ready to obido by their wishes —Receiving
thus much, from the highest source, and from
a source ton, which could not be questioned,
on the tenth day of April, wc published the
nomination.” “Our nomination, (says tho
Subaltern) is boeed on the highest authoiity
—on a bind of authority which cannot be
disputed, by Mr. Peter Force ol Washington,
or “ Mr. Agg of Piccadilly.”—Now, mark J
in (his very same paper of'the 1 Itli inat. the
Subaltern confea-es, that " thus far he has
found nothing In condemn in Gen. J’s Admin
istration,” tliet he "opproves his removals,”
and only complains of eomn of his appoint
ments—But still we arc to have an opposition
agninst him, “ right or wroog,” and Mr. Cloy
ie to be run—As to tho rcGult. nous verrons!
Mrs? Wright.—It appears from the Dem
ocratic Press, that alter tho use of iho Wal
nut streot Theatre was refused, to (his lady,
bills wero posted up announcing that she
would lecture at 8 oc!uck on Sunday night,
in the Grand Saloon of tho Washington Hall.
“ Soon after 7 o’clock, (says ’the Press,)
the citizcos, male arid teniai*, in very great
numbers directed thoir steps to the Washing
ton Hall. At Ihe principal entranco of that
edifice, thoy found posted a man who' an
nounced that the use of tho Hall had been
denied to Miss Wright, and that sho would,
at the hour proposcu, deliver a lecture at the
Military Hall in Library street.”
Thither, the editor of the Press says he
repaired.
He found •• tho Hall crowded, nnd tho
streets all across for about twenty yards
nearly impassable from the crowd ofincn and
women which filled it. There were com
paratively hut few women. About a quar
ter before eight o’clock, acarriogo entered
Library streot from Fifth, and druve directly
opposite to, and within about lour yards of,
tho entrance of the Military Hall. The lower
sashes of the windows ofthc long room,which
is one story high, had been taken out; and
they were crowded with people. Tho car
riage remained a few minutes,and itoppoar-
cd to us that eflorts were made to enable tho
portions in the carriage to get into tho hall.
The pressure of the crowd, however, was
enid to be too groat. The light of the moon,
obscured by clouds at this time, ebone but
faintly. There was aa little noise as could rea
sonably be expected in euch a crowd. It
appeared to us that thore was every disposi
tion i n the people to make way, and tLat
those in carriago without much strugglo or
inconvenience could hove passed to the door
and gained the hall. It was therefore with
some surprise that wc 6aw about twolbirds
of a female figure proludo iteolf from tho car
riage window to tho north, iho aide most dis
tant from the hall, but where much tho great
er portion of the people were; and presently
our ears recognized tho clear and distinct
voice of Miss VV right. Silence was comman
ded nnd obtained, aod she.lhus addressed tbo
crowd :—
“ In obedience to tlio wishes of tho pooplo
I am hero, according to my premise, to de
liver a Icolure on their rights anil duties —
It appears to mo impossible to gain entranco
to the Hall,or to deliver any lecture to night

unequal, and I must doclino it, I expect tho
poople will procure a room in the courao of
