The sct ne had a glare of novelty- He was 3
the first mohammedan public mistionary ss
that had ccme to this country.
it was near the close of the year 1805
When he arrived. He was understood to
have departed from the United Statss,
sometime in the latter part of'the year 1006,
leaving whatever he had imported, and de
livered as presents, to the.-executive ma-si
Rags-melt. Of these, some spec'nssens of_
the horse kind had been exposed to public
observation, in the vicinity at the presiden
tial palace. As to the rest "whatever they
Were '
From what is now known, there is rea
sQn for the opinion, that the animals, while
under the executive management, were not
tarry profitable. it seems, the 'sil'urco-Tu
nicit'tn missionary had left this country, and
been absent somewhat more than a year and
aday, when three of the horse presents
were mld ; expensc appears to have been
charged for keeping them to the 7th of
a-nttary, 1808, although no-credit appears
or their services. The deduction in ac
count, sor the whole snm received on the
salt: of three Arabian horses, falls botlittle
