EXTRACTED PROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. We hear of a goat deal of disorders which have manifested themselves in a silicon degree in the Morn., and by which our troops have suffered mush. Captains of ships also have come from that country give hot few details, and we are in general in pain fer them, though the Medical Department appears to he well or ganised, though our troops no longer bivouac, and hitherto at least they cannot be in want for any thing. It it usual almost every where in the Levaat„ especially in the autumn, for strangers to be attacked by tertian and quartan agues, which are not dangerous—exce d t for persons of intemperate habits—if they we judici on,ly-triated, but the young soldiers and many Offier-rs have ne►ertheless reason for alarm. We hope at lea , t that else troops have-not been suffered to take up their latigiag in-tab places evacuated by the Talks ,without gteat precautions, far the garrisons were mote or less iivected with contagious diseases, and piecipit tion might he attended with very serious consequences. It is affirmed that the English have objected to Ge neral M +ism) going beyand the Pa loponnesus, and that the Greek State is to be limited to that country easy but ii, on the one band, that General has enough to do to flccupy what has been given up t r him, and cou'd not do any more even if he wished it ; on the other h Ind, it is clear that the Geeeks, left to themselves, w , uld never be able to maintain t'temselves in the Peninsula, wliwe, without a marine, the Turks can come from many points of the Gulf if Lepanto. even though the Isthmus should be well f tidied. What still be done? This is what remains to be seen; mean tinte troops are sect, and pr partitions are making to send more. o.;e regiment is already gone, beside. the ammunition and provisions, which are sent under con• coy of the Tridera. novisions have also becn sent lately to the Mock 4d log squadr.o before Algiers, u hit h blockade does not ear likely to finish, and which is the most illusory thing in the world, for we hear of Algerine corsairs whith meet with nn obstacle-, and go in and out as if there were neither blockade nor cruizers. THE HISTORY OF THli SACRED STANDARD. Farb( A COKI INENTAL PAPER. The sacred standard (.sandschf,ki-shc4o, vAls;el) is never ut.1.11-d but in times when imminent danger Curate is the empire of the Crescent, has been castled by the Sultan to the camp of Ramis-Tchefliak, under the stalls of Consta tinople, where he at pry sent resides. It has tint as yet been drawn from the c Inch en• selopes it, for beto:e the standard it raised the invading army of the Russians must pass Adrianop.e. We have thr.ught it would be gratifyii:g to our readers to collect a few historical anecdotes resi ec du g this palladium of the Mu.sulmatis. I . is an article uf faith with the Tusks, to ham that the Sinifschalci-shetif was borne by the victurious hinds of Mohamed (Mahomer) himself. by the Caliphs, his first successors, who tran sm i tt ed it hs the dyna,ty of , aramjadcs. at Dimas, is the 661st sear f the Hegira, and afterwards to the Ahhasides at Iligclid and Cor.;, in the 750th yea of the same era. Wher I. conquered Egy l t in 1517, and over turned the Calivhat, this sranda.d went into the pos session ot-the line of Vie o.ftrarlis, since which time it has been considered an At k of safety to the State. At first the Sindschaki was plated under the ca!e of the Pashaw of llamas, as tieing chief conductor of the carav n of prigrim* who merit every year to Mecca.— In 1595 it was carried to Europe under the responsi ' tidily of the Grand V.zier, Sian Pasty* w, and di.played in the war of Hungary, as the talisman de•tined to se vise the courage of the Mustulinans, and restore to their rarllts the ch,ci2lirie which hid been entirely de strove.). 111ahontel 111. confided this holy banner to the cus. ( . .tly 41 three hundred Emirs, and it remained uncle. du - ii title loin 1505 to 1603, under the surrintendence ot thAr Chiet Naki-bol-Elchruf; and at present 40 en .;gn beaters ate chosen from the porters (.f the Seraglio, *hose nay it is to bear it by tutu., white its safety is confided to the care of all the MI ._..ussu.mans armed. The tour tttwisi Its of cavalry, disting.iistied by the name of Bo:uki Eibsa (as we night call them, the Royal Guard). ate especially appointed for the detente of this :acted banner. The word S indsehaki-sherif signifies "• standard of go ee.i silk," SLI4:I as tie G 0 ,0111016 of provinces usu 41Iy be Ir. Tire sacred standard of the Prophet is enveloped in 40 coverings of green tiffeta, and is enclosed in a case if green cloth, wirer also contains a small Koran (the Bo k of the Law), written by the hand rf the Caliph 0 oar hintseif, and the silver keys of the Kaaba, which Seiim I. received from the Sherif of Mecca. The standard is 12 feet high, and the golden ornament (a ctosed ha ,d) which sorm :urns it contains anr ther copy I,t the Koran, written by the Caliph Osman 111. the successor of Mahomet. In time of ve.!ce this precious standard is guarded in ;he hall of the " Noble Vest ment;" thus is styled the dress worn by the Prophet. lii the same ball in which this tunic hangs are also pre served the other venerated relics of the empire; the sacred teeth, the holy beard, the sacred stirrup, the sabre and the bow of Alahomet, and the arms and ar mour of the first Caliphs. ' In ear a magnificent tent is erected far receiving the Sacred Scasdard, which is attached by silver rings to a lance rt ebony. This custom bi inAs to recollection tie little temple, in which was deposited the Eagle of the Roman Legions, as related by DronysiosCassius. At the end of every campaign, the sacred piece of green silk which forms this stai.dard is replaced with great solemnity in a richly ornamented chest. Down to the present epoch, this standard has always been a real talisman to the Tut kt, and has served to rally the defenders ti Islamism, and to inflame their courage in battle again►t the Chiistians. In 1648 ► at the accession of Mali met IV. to the dim", the Grand Vizier had only to plant the Sand schaki to attract to his interest the corps of Janissaries. Recently, in 1826, the present Sultan Mahmoud had displayed it to destroy that formidable corps. Thus sacred banner is, however, never displayed ex. cept in time of war at a last extremity. It is the signal for instantly exerting every effort to save the empire.— Every Christian is prohibited from stopping before, or even casting, a prefane look on, this sacred plede of safety. PRICE SEVENPENCr. On the 27th of March, 1169, when At:Smet 111. de. elated war against Ens4a, and displayed tie S and schaki-sherif, the Austrian Internuf.cio. at Conitanti nnple hired an apartment from a Moliah at a high rate, in order to view the ceremony, but finding another apartment that suited him better, he removed to it.— To be avenged of him, the Mollah info' med the Emirs and the Janissaries of the AmbAs,ador's curiosity. The latter hastened with a fanatic rage to the hoose, whale the imprudent diplomati,t and his family we,e con cealed behind thick Velietian window blinds. They broke open the door, and though they did not venture to lay hands on the person of the Mtniwer,. who repro. 'ented the Emperor Jo,eph 11. their brutality did not respect rank, age, and sex. They cruelly maltreated the wife and daughters of the Internunco, M. de Brog. nart, and they massacred in the ,tieets a weat member of Chtktians entitely innocent of this act indisere. tit n. The Divan endeavoured, by rich presents, to re. pair this aggressidn, and the Cabinet of Vienna recalled its Prenipotentiary. Nothing f this has recently taker, place. Nor Rank showed himself in the streets on the dep inure of the Sultan, hot malevolence might have sarprised more than one profane eye intrenehed behind the Persian window curtain s certain houses . Upon the whole, times are greatly changed. PHILADELPHIA, Om 18. : A sennde.ful change has taken place in this beautiful city wilnin a few years. It was the quiet abode of un portending, active industry—it has Lecome the seat of luxury and splendour. How surprised I feel at the improvement! Those whom 1 visited a few years az, in their plain and modest abodes have tiensplantei themselves amidst the adornings of civilization, and filled their dwellings•wilt furniture which would not misbecome Grosvenor.square. The ol .1 and the ri deot are crying out against the extravagance of 'he times, and prophesying hendreds of dowi falls. You have heard wh..t a sober. Qaakerly spot is v.a. ii the ol.len days, when the" brown sobriety" of "the Fiends" seemed to iinge the whole population. But the gay ones have shooed Out the grave—and all that is smolt and attractive in Lyndon is speedily imported Old Philad Iphia has pasted away, and a new 'lilts delphia, smart awl siti lag. has b• en called into /ping. Numerous streets, winch were telly dreamt of, have been successfully born, an I thickly-congrega ed houses cover the ci devant green fields. Thee late invertions are mostly soacious, experoive, and coy venieot maw ions. Philadelphia is truly o-e of the la eeroeoest-haud somest"(Anicricanice) cities on tt is or t'a, er si.he of the Atlantic. Theodor. (Anglice, s' op.) are gati n g to be as flashy as their plot, types in kegenostrect or Ludgate-bill. They hate a fine sh ,at in the wiindrises, and goo:I books in the hack ground. Dulness has b en jostled out by bu tie, ant silt ; licity sent to tlie.tigl t oorbue by modishness. Of cttokse wealth is increasing —lcor its increase will always demandesomethisig new.

They were once 44 drab' ish." like hen pheasants, - or " darkish" as crows; ton now they are many coloured as peacocks or birds of paradise. But there are better things. too, going on, and a con -toot and busy improvement. Every where a demand, and, I.aopily, a supply of kuowledge. It is pouted o. t on all ,ides, running through all channels. lei iroluence is to improve, moderato wid soften the Ainecic an char , cter. There was formerly a blunt, disagreeable rougheeso which, being proud and vain of she poll. tical institutions of the cour t y, used to sex visitors giowiing :g onst Yankee has bat ism. But the Yankees are unending daily. Their cnmplaceircy is founded how on better knowledge, and they beg n to estimate t'le value • f h , sa accompiisho cuts aid that civ:. lizAtion, wt ich they deemed it so tine, and su he roic, and so pat iotic, to sneeze and sneer at. The Lancaster schools are proceeding admire 13—white the founder of the dote•' i. paying the too-trill deserved prod yof his vaeity,folly, aid a xtra 'raptor, raising miserable existence Out ad pittioc charity. Woiide. f.l is the improvement in the mans.ess and k emorals of the children, to which improvement the Infan• Schools have, perhaps, more contributed than any othi r eircum.. stance. Suu.lay Schools, t o, are much ia vogue; and it is a very agreeable subject to trace the com munication of all improvements in echoortion to the New World. Vigorous is the wing and swiot'o fl ht of the Geniu s of Go id over t h e A t l ant i c a ter s. Yuu would not lancy that relign n wa ted any State support were you to see the ntimier of churches. siring one after another, and the crowded congregations which fill them hese. Though ton to be ca./spared to some of the English Episcopal CI u ches, )et they Ate far tome handsome than most of the Dioc,olobt Cha pels in England. To me these decorations seem a poor struggle after what is unattainable—a vain .otempt to make the building worthy of Riot to whom it is oedi cated. Better to be satisfied with the simplicity of an unpretending temple than seek to propitiate Him with tl.e hs uses ° we have budded," and in 'which we more consult our vanity than 1113 true glory. Science is making daily ciuquests. here. Lectures are constantly delivered on all the !stanches of natural phi losophy. They are well attended, and their harpy in &mice r bvious. The taste fOr positive knowledge, as contrasted ith 'speculative—for exyerin:ertal instead of dogmatical philosophy—is descending deeply and spreading widely among our people.
