"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 nothing to say to it.’ •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 zan, from sunrise to eunBot,’ ropliod Ihe Lo vantine, 'on the pain of reprobation, the Moslems of the Frozen Oooan, where the days are six months long, would feel aome what exhausted.’ ‘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.’ 'What is written in tho pcripiououa vol ume of truth,’ replied tha priost, 'admits noi- thar of doubt nor disputation i there is not a word in the Koran oooeerning tho dxya of six months’duration, neither of tha nights, therefore I diiboliar* it, bsoauae it ia impos sible.’ • ^ ■Keif,’ said Ihe Levantioa, 'do as you ploase, but truth ia one .-’—a very common expression of tlio Arabs, and Is generally tho no pint ulU^ in an argument 1 , A Prep bchihd tbc CimTzstr.—tEo ' 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.

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 except in tho open air; to this my lungs aro unequal, and I must doclino it, I expect tho poople will procure a room in the courao of thoweokin which I may lecture.
