LET l ERri FROM ON ST ANTINOP LE.
American Treaty splendid Fa ant/ tnujf liax.
Perhaps you feel anxious to know what t.'e
ccrctnouies of ihe exchaugo of ratification were.
You would imagiuc that it sra* «u the midst ol

chief officer* of the empire* ami ai tho footstool
of the Sultnn on bis Goldeu Throne. 1 he world
has been greatly gulled by travellers, who, for the
reasons mentioned i-> a form--r letter, were V’
dot'll in the marvellous* *l'he house of the 'Cis
Effondiis a very ordinary old red wooden houso,
so near the water in the village Cnndalie as to
step from the boat iuto his door.. 1 found some
workmen who wore making repairs, cleaning out
the rubbish. Tho minister went up stairs and
round him wrapped in rather a coarse brown
claok, with his drogman dressed m a similar
manner. Thero were half a dozen sen nuts
standing at the door, and this was tho only ap
pearance of state that I witnessed. Attor r,sing
and shaking hands, be asked the minister to be
seated; pipes,eoflfeoandshorbet were introduced
they talked about the storm and other matters,
w hen the minister mentioned to him the presents
were iu tho bags, aud had hotter be looked to.
We assisted iu getting them out, and after he had
done so, he examined with great admiration, tho
presents for the Sultan, consisting of a snuff box,
costing about $0000, and n f in which tho minis
ter paid about .‘J.’iOOO for. lie wtis greatly struck
with their richness, and I have .the strangest rea
sons for believing that from a republican agent
the head of the Ottoman empire has received the
most magnificent, and most valuable present of
tho kind which uow is or ever has been iu bis
possession. It had been previously asked what
tho minister proposed givingthem, &they "ere in
formed a magnilicient snuffbox worth about $d.)UU
They doubted the existence of such a thing, but
wore now convinced of the reality _ I he minis
ter subsequently determined on adding the fan,
of all fansiu tile world perhaps tho most costly
and most niagnificicnt. The hnndle is ol white
agato: at the end of a largo and beautiful
emerald; below the grasp a hoop of diamonds ;
above tho grasp nf ihe agato spreads in the
form of *iie fan; and on both sides it is almost
encrusted vvith large and the finest of daimonds
arranged in beautiful devices. Among them a
basket of flowers, n bow and a quiver of arrows,
nro the principal. Tho feathers of the fan are
those of tho heron, ami of two thicknesses. It
is an orunmeut better suited to the crown of a
Sultan, than the hand of a slave. Mr. Eckford,
who saw it beforo delivery, exclaimed that its
brilliancy eclipsed that of the noonday sun.
Tho top of tho snuffbox was so completely and
artfully encrusted with daimonds. as to look like
one largo and splendid diamond. The euamel
on the sides and bottom was of such beauty as no
description can convey an idea of. All agreed
that it was more to be admired than the diamonds
which covered the top.
Tho other presents which consisted chiefly of
diamond ornamented snuff boxes, tvcre of valuo
proportioned to tho rank of those who were te
receive them.

country. & ihe elephants accoutred with spleu-

size of the common pig in this country but are

unique. The whole of the presents are estima

The ceremony of rcchango was merely rising;
the Rois Effendi taking the Turkish treaty in his
right hand, aud the American Minister doing tho
same with the American, raising them, as bigli as
the head, and at tho same instant making the ex
change. lie delivered the American treaty to
his iuterpretor, and the minister, the Turkish to
Air. Hodgson.
Our treaties you know, are on beautiful vellum
paper, in n book with a richly embroided velvet
cover. A gold box containing an impression of
tho Great Seal of the Uuionis attached by a gold
-cord, with rich tassels, and the whole enclosed in
a handsome boy.
The Turkish treaty isou the thick vellum pa
per, placed in a flat hag of while silver cloth, to
wbirn is attached a ball of red wax. which at one
part disc-losses a bull of gold which it contains ,
what is wiihiu the golden ball I am ignorant.
The endorsement of tho treaty is in the follow
ing words, iu tho Turkish of course :
‘•This tho Imperial ratification of tho treaty be
tween tho noble nud glorious possessor of the
world, and the noble chief of the United States of
America."
Remarkable Operation.—Wo have seen, tins

Wilson, born deaf, and of course dumb also,
whose sense of hearing has been restored, or ra

Webster, of tfiis city. The evidence that he
could hear distinctly, was conrlusive aud satis

intelligible sounds, only three days h iving elaps

been educated iif tho Deaf and Dumb institution,
but of necessity, although able to read, and
kuowing the lettere which, being united, leprt-
scut objects, he has yet to learn the sounds of
those letters, and the names of those objects as
enunciated in spukcu language
is a most important one, and we shall make far

tempted Rescue.—\\ C have been shewn 111 .1 let
ter from . highly respectable gentleman of Tcu-
uesee, which 3tates that a daring attempt had
been made to liberate Morrel from the State
Penitentiary. The letter says that four or five
hundred staugera gradually, and seemingly with
out concert, appeared in Nashville, imt that the
influx was so great as to excite suspicions, aud
eveutually, public opinion settled down into the
belief that they were confederates of that arch
fiend Murrel. which suspicion was sunn confirm
e<l by au unsuccessful attempt at his liberation.
’I he letter states that about four hundred were
arrested & undergoing tual for their participation
in the matter, anil that a number had already
beeu sentenced for various periods to tho pou iten-
tiary.

THE EXCITE M ENT AT NEW O R LEANS.
We have New Orleans papers to the 8th inst.,
from which we arc happy to learn that the fer
meat which existed there on the 5th aud 6th, in
cousequence of an attack upon a military corps
called the Legion, by the Louisiana Advertiser,
hud passed away without any serious distur-
_ bailee. Assuming that tho attack was ahogoth-
The discoverv gratuitous and unjust, we must say that in our
bumble opinion the Legion very much demeaued
themselves bi taking uuy such notice of it as
iliey seem to have taken—.and further wo pre
sume their character is so well established .that
any "mice of a newspaper lampoon, was wholly
unnecessary.

Sunday, Lee. Phillips. Marks, and Abonio, were

the testimony, that 110 doubt can be entertained
that all four will be indicted ondet the riot act.

THE COMET.
To the Editor of tho Boston Daily Advertiser
aud Pntriot.
After an interval of ten or twelve days, tho
light of tho Moon being sufficiently withdrawn.
I sought the Comot|again yesterday morning be
tween 2 aud 3 o'clock. I found it readily and
without difficulty near Kappa Anrigae, a star
of the fourth magnitude on a lino joining Pollux
and 'the upper horn of tho Bull or Beta Tauri, at
about one third of the distance from tho latter.
The same lino passes through tho Pleiades. I
saw^it with a telescope cf 2 feet in length, hav
ing an object glass of 2j iuclies diameter and
magnifying about 12 times; I saw it also, al
though less plainly, with a tcrieslrial telescope
of'i£ feet, having five glasses and magnifying-10
times. I presume it may now bo sceu with a
good seaman's gla^s called a day glass. It t* •
great mistake to suppose that it requires R largo
magnifying power to see such an object. Tho
chief requisite is light with only a slight enlarge
ment, and the advantage of a large telescope o-
ver a tmaU'oaoisin the greater quantity of light.
The body of tho Cornet now subtends an angle
four or five times as great as the planet Jupiter,
anil it is invisible to liie naked eye not so much
on acccount of its smallness 33 the feebleness of
its light.
The appcaranco of the Comet answer* very
well to lb* description that has already been^giv
en. It was extremely like tho faint diflnsed
light of a star seen through a thick mist. Such a
iiusi happened to present itself after I had been
engaged about an hour, and put an end to my
observations for this night, i could distinguish
nothing like a nucleus, although tho light was
evidently stronger towards tho centre aud be
came fainter and fainter till it gradually vanished
in an ill defined and apparently circular outlino
Thero does not --eem to bo any tendency as yot
to prolong itself in tho direction opposite to the
Cur.
Tho different paths assigned to the Comet by
the several calculators nearly coincide for tunic
extent ia tho part of the Heavens where it uotv
is, and its course as hitherto observed, agrees ve
ry u*ai with these combined results. But it ia Li

to revise his calculations, fixing tho time of pass
suffered in no small degree from some auitnad
versions of ihe most widely circulated papeis in
this state. Indeed such d.re<’,s of horror commit
ted in a virtuous and intoifigent community, could
not'be believed on the authority of one, almost
entirely unknown *o the public at this time. It
is probable, Virgil A Stewart was not known to
tiveoiry persons out of his ow n immediate dis
trict, at the time he detected aud apprehended
.Murrell tbeicforc, we cannot be surprised if his
account of the Western land pirate was consid
ered a mere catch-penny affair. In fact, tho dis
closures were so abhorent to every principle of
humanity, that nu good citizen could for a mo
ment, indulge the idea that such a monster exist
ed among us. But such is tho fact, a* Parson
Henning's negroes bought at this placo aud re
covered by young Henumg, through a legal pro
cess instituted by Ralph Cushman, Esq. Those
other negroes, stolen or decoyed from the planta
tion of Dr. Williams in tho idtale ol Mississippi,
aud sold in this neighborhood, have been claimed
and arc now iu the custody of the .Sheriff under
an order of sequestration—Ralph Cushman attor
ney for plaintiff! It appears those negroes were
decoyed from their masters by protended horso
traders and gamblers, who promised to convey
the runaways to Texas after selitug them seveial
times, to defray tho necessary expenses wbich
were represented to be very considerable. The
declarations of those poor deluded victims, con

wo can form no conception of the dangeiousper
sons among us. They generally travel alone to
avoid suspicion, and take every opportunity to
spenk kindly to thvslaves, and represent their ib-
uatiou in a manner tvollcalctilaird to render them
unnappy and dtsuDeairOt to'heir masters. They
appeal to the worst passions of the human heart,
to oxcite a spirit ofrcvor.ge. They draw a sink
ing contrast between the happy state of the mas
ter, and tho servilo condition of tho slave, and
with the pathos of dantling hypocrites call upon
tho slaves to free iliemselvcs from the bonds of
servitude Thoso murderous villians follow ono
another in their routes, in order to prepare the
way of revolt, or conduct plans for the runaways,
and to induco a belief that their number is for
midable enough to affect a perfect liberation by
resorting to arms. Parson Hcuniiig's negroes

Eight individuals wero taken up night before

ers. Alter midnight, they were making a great
noise a> the corner of Canal aud Chartres streets,
and attacked with swords an officer of the Le
gion who u a* on patrol. A platoon of one of
the companies being uear at hand, the whole gang
was tak'-n up and lodged in jail, where they a

New Orleans, Sept. 8, 11 o’clock. P. M.
The late disturbances in this city, occasioned
by a riotous harangue—and the incendiary ar
ticle concerning the conduct of the Legion in
one of our papers-—have been quelled. The ci
ty is ’•emarkably healthy from the refreshing
showers that almost daily visit it. Business is
dull----but there it a bright prospect before us
citcmcnt, to consummate a measure winch
breathes defiance to public sentiment. atiu which
seems in fact to be a special 'fort to feed
flames already flashing around the edifice of our
Freedom. O who can comprehend the folly ol
that headlong zeal wbich leads men thus to trifle
with their country’s pence!—nay. even with its
existence as a united aud integral community.
It is evident that a mighty effort is to be made,
a death-struggle, Heaven grant it may be —to
rally the scattered forces of Abolitionism and
nerve them tip !o deeds of desperate daring.
Our own iStato, it seems, baa been_pitched up
on as the theatre of this grand experiment- \i e
know not what may bo the issue; hut tve do
know, that men v ho in a time like this, in spite
of warnings, and entreaties, needlessly, uselessly,
try experiments upon tho extent of human endu
rance, and tho strength o f the bonds which bind
society together,-—who coolly apply tho ham
mer to tho most splendid mirror which ever re
flected the light of day, that they may practical
ly test its power of icsistance,—deserve to bo
ranked no lougcr as good citizens, hut as ene
mies to their country. Hitherto tve have had the
charity to believe that most of those engaged in
the Abolition crusade, althoitth sadly crrii g in
their movements ami measures, were actuated l>y
good motives ; but wo candidly confess that it «t-
mid all the circumstances of warning, and all the
indications of Provideuco, which have been re
cently developed, they still go in their mad ca
reer, reckless of consequences, the mantle of our
charity will uot be largo enough to cover their
silts—-against tho peace and order of society,—-
against their brethren of tho South,——and <i-

OWASCO, SEPT. 10, 1835.
Iv Dear Sir.—
our letter of the 22d nit. met mo at this place,
ou my return from the Falls, and I lose no time
iu replying to that part of it which relates to the
continued attempts to prejudice try friends, as
well as myself, iu tho estimation of tiie South in
respect to the Slave Question.
Iris deeply to bo regretted that there should be
found, ou tho part of any, inducements sufficient
ly strong to iucrease an excitement, already so a-
larining. by a resort to imputations, in the truth
of which no ingenuous mind can place the slight
est coufideuce. The allegations which attribute
to mo views and opinions that are so justly ob
noxious to the slavo holding States, are made in
ibo faco of tho most oxplicit declarations on my
part, denying all authority on the part of the
Federal Government to interfere in the in a titer—
against the propriety of agitatiug the question in
the District of Columbia, aud iutho abscuccof a
single fact, giving tho least countenance to the
unfounded imputations. I should probably re
quite the candor with which I have hitherto been ser ' t r '
treated by tho great mass of my fellow citizens
of tho South, were I to allow inyself to appre
hend that those who would otherwise be disposed
to givo mojtheir confidence, could, under such
circumstances, suffer me to bo prejudiced in
their opinion, by the unsupported assertions of
my euemics, however reckless or vehemently
persisted in. Wero these fabrications, therefoie,
designed :o affect me only, 1 should not hesitate
to leave tho matter as it stands, to the spontane
ous action of my countrymen. But when it is in
tended to reach, in this way, those who honor me
with their friendship, I do^ not feel inyself at lib
erty to withhold any correction that in ay, by
possibility, bo useful to them. With this view I
scud you the enclosed proceedings of tho citizens
of Albany upou the subject, ana authorize you to
say, that I concur fully iu the sentiments they ad
vance. I was absent from the city at the time
the meeting was held, but took an early occasion
to advise its call, aud toeucourage the attempt to
make it, what it has beeu, a meeting of tho peo
ple, without reference to their sentiments ou any
other subject than that which was discussed be
fore It. Connected wnti its ]>i*o«oodiiig^ are to
he found tho names of our principal State offi
cers, Executive and Judicial, including the Gov
ernor of our State, with an array of private citi
zens which, for personal worth and weight of
character, has never, to my knowledge, been ex
celled at any previous meeting.
It would be presumption in me to add auy as
surances of my own, as to tho sincerity with
which the sentiments thoy express ato entertain
ed, or of their disposition to ntak s them effectual
upou the important subject to which they re
late.
May we not, then, hope that the proofs of an
affectionate and just spirit towards the rights and
interests of tho South, which bare been brought
out by this hitherto threatening excitement, will
have tho effect, in future, to remove all unfound
ed impressions, and to put an end to every feel
ing and prejudice inconsistent with the principles
upou which the Union was founded ?

tion,

Hon. John Q Adams.—Wc stated last wee K
that we could not believe the rumor that Mr
Adams had written to the Hon. Du tec J. 1’earce.
congratulating him on his election—and con
demning the course of tho Whigs. But—alas
for pool human nature! it turns nut to be true.

last evening, thus re-affirins its assertion ;

It is even so; the rumor noticed, hut discred

the party defeated —turus our to lie a fact, ti'e

LATE FROM JAMAICA.
• By tho Orbit. Capt. Mead, from Kingston, we
have received our files of Jamaica papers, to tho
24th of August inclnsivo.
Tbe dissatisfaction with the existing slate of
things under tho new system, not ouly continues
but iucrcases. The representations of the gov
omoT, Lord Sligo, tho contrary effect, iu his ad
dresses to tho house of assembly, as well as in
his communications to tho government at home,
are contradicted and very much censured.
In answer to bis address at the opening of his
awembly, that^ody presented an address iu re
turn, in which his excellency’s statements were
Very civilly conti adicted, his vious respectfully
questioned on varions points of iuterest, and his
measures rejected. To this address bis excellen
cy r-plied only in these words;
“Mi. Speaker and Gentlemen of the ass'-mt.’.,.
“Thi^ uuqaunl style of yonr address prevents
my doing more ouibo present occasion than sim
ply to acknowledge its delivery.”
Immediately after, the attendance of the house
was repaired in tho council chamber, where the
useiubly was dissolved in a short and somewhat
mgry speech ; a measure which is severely cen
sured in id! the papers, oven those which have
hit erto beeu considered favorable to his < xcel-
lency’s administration.

Frost.—A light fro.-t on Wednesday morning
showed its effects very distinctly oil pumpkin,
