O 7 ~* • p ‘ • 9 From the London Morning Chroniefe , 21 st July.] ‘/he * Tojhe Edi Tor iff the Morning CtmoniSe !• Sir : —Aser wliat occurred at the first meet ini’ of the Statistical Congress, 1 withdrew itfi tnediaftdy from that body, intending to offer no reasons here for my course, because, from what I saw, J judged |hafc they would not“be worth tfie paper which they utfght be written. I reserved them, therefore, for my own Govern ment. After waiting avfhile to see what com ments the papers would make upon the opening scenes of the Congress, I commenced my dis patch to my Government; but a friend, in who.Ne opinions I have great confidence* said he ► thought I ought to address the people here in vindication of myself. Upon this intimation (tor it was rather au that counsel) I ■ sat down, and, a thousand doubts and interruptions, wrote the subjoined communica tion. I was just bringing it to a close for the 1 press yesterday, (Thursday)® when I received the information that, at the 0 opening® of the„ meeting on tins day previous, Lord Brougham had explained his remarks at Phe finA meeting, as 1 \yould see ft) a paper referred to, and the information came with the request that I woidd return to the Congress. 1 read the explanation in that papeWnd two,pthers. They only differ ,in their reports of it, o but they all concur in making his lordship disavow ariy intention to show any disrespect to American Minister or the United States; and they nijxkt him s;x§’ that he merely meant to nutkte ah interesting or a statistical fact, viz : that there was a negro : in the assembly. Now, L found inyself i.i a very ticklish pre dicament. It was not his lordship’s remarks 9o much as the they met with by all n*y assticfutes 8f tlie Congress, tTiat determined me a if, N> ‘ to leave it. The signs were infallible thatbn that body I could not be received as an equal, either m country or in character, while the ne egro \v;r* reaeived Ayth open arms. They under sold h*s lordship as* I did. All tlie papers undfl'stooiif him in tlie same way, and some of th£m <rlory in the exposure of the 0 American •Minister, and proniiso themselves tk rich trpat whejj the President shall discover in what con t tempt his Ministers held here. All tfiis re mains precisely as it did® before his lordship’s °Of course, therefore, 1 cannot return to tl*em. They would receive me cour- teously no digibt—possibly, now, with plaudits; but e why ? g Not c lronk personal respect to or my country, Uut to avoid schism in thegsocioly —to preserve its popularity. I an* only three years removed from an Kn (L dattf from the birth of my Government) aftd I l):fve 0 too mucfi English spirit in me to thrust myself itito any company upon charity. Ilad tl*c Delegates received his lordship’s re marks ffitli a ®ilßnt Smile (ill-timed as they were and Dr. Delany’s response o in the®ame o wai, I never slioul'tl have left the Congress. — But *he plaudits came like 4l tempest of hail upon my half-Englfth spiiit. Nothing, then, in Plie piece nceds'qualification but what refers to his olordship’s intentions. Learning these °l‘rom his dwn lips, I sat down to correct ft in all that imputed to him, directly or° impliedly, wron#j[ intentions twid wrong feelings; but 1 found that they were eo (fl'teu intermingled with sentiments Void against thu pt*Ricipal, bgt gootj oagainst tlie leading spirits of Europe and the Congress, and so essential to tlie harmogv and , grapimatieal constructions, that if 1 undertook 1 to collect generally, t should hardly lcavtfit printable or readable. And yet the piece lflust now appear; for .if not, it will go forth to all Europe tlgit the Dniteck States Delegate took offence, pro slavery like, at an old man’s play ful remark, Pwft the Congress, at its beginning, oand that neither explanations nor entreaties coUd bring him back® 0 w 9 ® 1 nave type nor patience to re model it, mu®h less re write it. 1 ailt called&away to ll ay ; 1 should have been oft’ from Lteidon be forai In my dilemma I have%on©luded to pub lish thf piecQojust as ®I wrote it; not now a®, faillw representing bis lordship, but exactly representing my understanding of him when I ; left the Congress, and the reasons. lam at the •bjtr now,and I am to be judged of by the rea sooablcncss of n.iy interpretations, and of my conduct founded on I <heg fi is lordship, in my situation, to ifidulge me in this. In rctui-p I beg the reader to treat as revoked, anti utterly tfull aufl void, every refer ence to his lordship that is in the slightest de urce inconsigient with nis explanations. lam not very far bcliitM him in years; I h|ve long been his debtor, and I esteem him almost rev erentially ; and if he is not debtor for his Ju dicial Reform Bill to my native £tate, there is the most jemarkable coincidence betwe&i the. two systems that eveY occured sigee the world began. 11®he is, he ought to esteem uft for my*State's sake. Be tjiis £ as o jt may, we affe too old to quarrfil. • A. B. Longstreet. * * * • . o 0 ! . TO TIIE PUBLIC. © # before I tcrminate°my first and last visit to Europe, I deem it due to my country and my self to learS behind me a word ofcomment upon°a most remarkable incident pf that visit. It may be of some service to the people on both sides of the Atlantic. England owes to i my country much respett—to my native State a ifttlee 1 came hither as a Delegate (and, by accident, Phe only® delegate,) from the United States to the International Statistical Congress, < now in session at this place. The appointment was made by request of the authorities of this country. lam a native of the of Geor gia, the birthplace of two gallant Tattnalls; the gne Veil lyiown to me, the other well knowft O to EnglanH/ lie ftas that lfumane and chival rous C’omniodoreewho, at the p'feril of, his com mission and lus life, rescued the captain and crew of Hope’s sinking ship from a watery grave He has received much praise r „for the deed, hut not quite all that is due to him, for in yielding to nis generous impulses he forgotethat his no less gallant brother was borne from*the battlefield at Point iLter severe ly wounded by British muskets. What is done in*war should be, but is no* friways, forgotten in peace. The Commodore's conduct was ap proved by bis Government, that Government which Mr. Dallas represents at tfie Court of Ss. 1 James* 0 ° • © L The Statistical Congress convened a prelimi- nary meeting was held to appoint ‘officers and arrange thetirderof business. All foreign delegates were declared to be Vice Presidents, and they took their seats on the the presiding officer. Mr. Dallas, a complimen tary visitor, took his seat to the right of the chair; Lord Brougham to tfie left. All things beings now in readiness for she opening of th§ regular meeting, his Iloyal Highness, Albert, appeared, took the chair, and opened the meeting gdmiralde address which has been published,xnd which carries the est commendation upon its face. g ® As soon as lie* had concluded*, and the long resounding plaudits ceased, Lord Brougham rose, and after a few re marks strdfigly and deservedly complimentary of tli£ address,.jand alter calling on all present to testify their approval of it by holding up tl*ir he o turned to the Atnerican.Min ister® and addressing him across the table of his Iloyal Highness, said : “ I call the attention §f Mr. Dallas to the fact, that there is a ncyro present; awd I hope he will feel no scruples on tlfcit account.” This° appeal to the Amcjycan Nlinistep wits received with general applause by the house. The colored gentleman rose and said, 1, 1 thank his Royal Highness and your lordshy), and have only to say that 1 am a man.” And Phis was received with loud applause! Now if the lord’s address to the Ameri can Minister was meantafor pleasantry, 1 must be permitted to say that tlie time, tlie subject and tjie place were exceedingly unpropitiofls to such salliiis. If it was meant for sarcasm, it was equally unfortunate in conception and de* livdry. If it was meant for insult, it was mer , cilo%rly cruel to his lordship’s heart, refinement qiuid dignity, and moral sense. I could readily have foynd an apology for it in his lordshshig’s ; lottks and wrinkles, if it a had not been so trium phantly applauded. The European delegates understood *it-Mhe colored gentleman under stood it; and, from the response of the dirt tei®, we can collect unerringly ifs import. It was meant as a boastful comparison of his lordship’s country with the Minister’s. It was meant as a cutting refleckmn upon that country, 0 where negroes are not admitted to the councils of white men. This ?s thft very least and best that can be made of it, and the dignity of the Ameri can Minister’s character and office, his entire disconnection with)slavery personally, and his peculiar position in the assembly, were no pro tection to his this humiliating as sault; nay, he is selected as the vehicle of it before the assembled wisdom of Europe? who signify openjy their approbation of it. All the ctty papers L have seen differ in their report of this matter, but they all soften c its rugged fea tuers somewhat. ‘li*i ‘l imes is the most correct, *b*ut a fault in milking Lord Brougham preface his temarks to Mr. Dallas with, “ 1 hope my Mr. Dallas, will forgivtfme for reminding him,’* Ac., and in making Dr. Delany (the co|pr cd gentleman) say to Lord Brougham, “ who is always a most ftntliiiehingj'nend of the negro.” If one or the other of these remarks was made, <jt . © _ ‘ [ did not hear it; the Doctor would hardly have used the last. • ( Now, I take leaye to say that a Britqp was] the last man on earth who should cast con temptuous reflections upon the United States,’ and the delegates the last men on earth svho should have couutenanoed them. Not one of them, not a man on all the broad surface of Eurgpe, can assail that country without assail ’ ingsotne near home-born friend of his owh lan gu;ige and blood, or some kinsman by short lin eage fropi a common ancestry. She Spreads herself opt from the Atlantic the l’inytic, from IheHiulf to the Lakes, and, through all her length and breadth, she is one vast asylum for the poor, the oppressed, the down-trodden, the persecuted ftf the world. Her sons are a multitudinous brotherhood of all Climes, reli gions and fbugucs,diving together in harmony, peace and equality, so far as these can possibly prevail within her borders. Say what you ipay, think as yog may, sneer as you may at heitAjie culiar institution,” she is, after all, the good Sarmaritan of nations. Do a people cry and wastejiom famine ? She loads her ships with 1 supplies, and lays them at the sufferers’ doors without money and Do an op pressed, people strike for liberty ? You will find some of her sons under their flag. . Does a wife’s cry come across the water for help, to find a noble, long fnissing husband ? She fits i/iit her ships, her volunteers® man them, they search nearly to the Pole, learn the husband’s lute, disburden the wife’s heart from suspense,® and then lie down and die from the exposure and toils of the search. Does she find a nation’s sloop-of-war aflept, still sound hut unmanned ? She puts her in decent trim and sends her to her owner, in charge of hoi - own men, and at her own**, expense. ‘‘Bear with me.” If “I tan become a fool in glorifying, ye have com pelled me, for I ought to have been commended to you.” ; Such a nation is not to be taunted, certainly not Jjy Great Britain. Her slavery is a herit age, not a creature of her own begetting. It was forced on her against her wishes, her pray ers, and her protestations—screwed down upon her, pressed into her, until it has become so completely incorporated with the very being that it is now impossible to eradicate it. The term “ slave property” is borrowed, it is not of her coinage. In all her slave States there are not ten men living (until very recently, not one?) who ever.made a slave of a freeman, counting the Hottentot a freeman. Their syi then, is notin making slaves but in not resto ring them to liberty, in courtesy to the sensibil ities®of those who made them fnr us. Before they make this exaction of us they surely ought to have the magnanimity of Judas, and lay the pricq at our feet. [Judge Longstreet next glances at the im mense loss and disaster, which immediate ernan cipation of the slaves in the Southern States would entail, showing that nine millions, at least, would certainly be ruined by it ( the slaves and their masters,) as the first fruits of the measure ; and hundreds of thousands, if not millions more, in the free States and King doms, . e , all who are dependent upon Cotton, llice and oTobacco in any way for a living, as its ultimate fruits.] Whatever his lordship did not intend by the remark-!j-and I am ready to believe that he did not intend to wound —he certainly did intend to to the Minister’s notice that England • © * m 9 made no distinctions between men on account of their color. And herein his lorifship |vas lamentably Unfortunate, for tbe whole scene showed that not only he, but all hisapplauders, S made a marked distinction between colors.— M ould not his lordship have had more respect for the feelings whjjte man, than to have made him the object of special notice, and such a notice to men gathered from all quarters of the world ? Would his lordship’s discourtesy I to a white man have been applauded*as it was by gentlemgn of refinement and delicacy?— True, it hit Dr. Delany’s sensibilities exactly in the right place, for lie returned thanks for |.t; but the chances arc a thousand to one that it would have enkindled b,is indignation.®“What,” he was®likely to have said, a boast es the nobility of England, that I am admitted to a 801x1311100” white men?” 11 is thanksgiving, too, was applauded, a thing not fxactly in keep ing with'our ordinary dealings with white men. And when he proclaimed the indubitable fact “that lie was a man,” again he was applauded. If any other man had arisen in the assembly, and said the selfsame thing, he would have ben laughed at, not applauded. Again, his lordship pointed himoutas“a negro”—that was the word^—not as some of the gazettes have ,it, “a colored peison,” or “colored gentleman;” the Times has it right. Now, if lnvliad fedt %due regard for the Doc tors rank, wofald he not have softened his de signation, as the papers have kindly dune Tor him? lam told the Doctor is a member of the Geographical Society, and a delegate from Cana da. ®lf so, I demand, by all the canons of why lie was not calfed to the stand as one of the Vice Presidents, and placed right betweeij Mr. Da Mas and myself? Here would have been a scenic representation of thrilling moral effect, more eloquent of Old England’s love of freedom and contempt of mastery than all lip-coffipliinents of all her put togeth er. Or if that scat was too leftv for the Doctor, why was he not placed between Lord Brougham andilie Chair? ll&d 1 seen him there, verily my own heart would have swelled with tv com pliment to noble Old England, which no lips ♦ould have fitly uttered. Where was the Doc si lor at the Prince's reception? I did not) 5 see him there. To vvliat section docs he belong? o o I do not find him allotted to either. To how many 6f the entertainments has lie been invi ted. Now,* in all this I detect a lurking feeling ever and anon peeping out, which convinces me that the colored man is yet far, very far be low the white man in public estimation, even in Europe; and, until this is conquered, let not the European assume to lecture the American upon his duty to the slave or upon tiic equality of the wees. Why, if°the thing fs° fated to us, like death, can any man ot cAmmon humanity and generosity take pleasure in throwing it in his te#th ? Slavery is either a blessing or a curse.

Them that have more than their share of one thing com monly have less .of another. When there is a great strength there ain’t apt to be much gump- j tion. A handsome man in a general way aint much of a man. A beautiful bird seldom sings. Them that have genius have no common sense. A fellow with one idea grows rich, while he who calls him a fool dies poor. The world is like a meat pie; the upper crust is rich, and dry, and puf fy ; the lower crust is heavy, doughy underdone; the middle is not bad generally; but the small est part of all, is that which flavors the whole Keep it before the people, That William L.

They are Arabs and settled in Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, with in the hist nine hundred years. 9 *, “ Syria, - ’ says the reliable Dr. Thompson’ who wrote from a twenty-five years’ residence and travel in that country, “ has always been oursed with a multiplicity of tribes and reli gions, which have split up the Country into small principalities and conflicting classes— fruitful parent of cj,yil war,"anarchy and confu sion.” To give some idea of the populations of SyriS, the Doctor enumerates them as fob* lows: * , . Moslems 800,0001 Kurds 50,000 * Nu|airiyeh, 150,000 ® Nowaf, 20,000 Druses I°oo,ooo Jews 25,000 Maronitesf. 200.000“ Gre&s 150,000 ©Armenians.® 35,000 Papal Off-hoots w ®. 80,000 The Moslems are the ruling race over all the country, except in Lebanon, and they are di vided into two sects, the Sumnites and the Slites. The total population is thus estimated at 1,(310,000, exclusive, however, of the noma dic Arabs whose number is set down by the best authorities atfhalf a millioiM The Lebanon region contains 400,000 inhab itants, living in Some 0000 town§, villages, and hamlets. Zahleli, just destroyed, was the larg est town, amd contained 11,000 people.

The en tire population live in towns and villages, ami go out in the fields to cultivate them, and This is no homogenous community of peo ples in Syria. Every tribe lives apart, and: hate each other with a hearty hate. The two Moslem sects excommunicate each othfer—hate the Druse, and all these three detest the Nusa iriyeh. The Maronites love nobody, and no body loves them. The Greeks®deepise Catholics, and all sects look dow%with contempt on the Jews.® Except th<f Jews and the Bedouin Arabs no* tribe can trace back its origin to any ancient nfee. The Moslems are a mixed race, derived from the people of the Greek empire at the time of the fcrusad s. ®ln the nominally Chris tain sects, there is the<#ame blending oS races, and a large infusion of European Wood, during the time of the Crusades.

Stephens, of Georgia, for they are not blackt The Meteweljes, a class of dirty Arabs, who joined the Druses in their late crusade against the Ghristains, are much like the Jews, and claim to have come from Persia. There is a large infusion of Egyptayi blood in the Mos lems from Carmel southward. Dr. Thompson thinks that their peculiarities are to be traced back to the old Philistines, who, according to Ims theory, came from Egypt, and not from Cy prusfas he commonly thought!
