s,eubers of lis well known family in Ara
bia for the truth of the facts.+
The following circumstances in the u.s.
tory Of Sabat ought rot TO have beer on.t-
ted. When his family in Arabia had heard
thar he had followed the example of Abdai-
lah, and become Christian, they dispa.ca-
ed his brother to India, "a voyage OF lwo
monshs) to assassinate him. While Saba
was sitting in his house at Visagapatin1,
his brother presented himself III disguise
of a Faquetr, or beggar, having dagger
concealed under his mantle. He rushed on
Sabat, and wounded him. But Sabat seiz
ed his arm, and his servants came to his as
sistancc. Re then recognised his brother.
The assassin would haze become the victim
of public Justice, bue Sabat Interested Tor
his brother, and sent him home in peace,
will. letters and presents to ais MOTHERS
house in Arabia.
And these, my brethren, are the instan-
ces wished 70 lay before yon, Of the Dl-
vine Power of the Christian Religion IN the
East. The conversions Of Abdaiial and
| Sabat seem to nave been IS evidently pro-
duced by the spirlt of 600, as any CONVEX
sion in the primitive church. Other in
stances have occurred IN Arabia OF q SINH
lar kind, and on the very borders ot pa!es-
tine itself. These are Ike the solitary no
tees which in other nations have announced

dreadful Thoughts will be, I fear, sufficient
to induce then as now adherence to the
measure SIX months longer. And after a. !,
bundance Of war speeches, Congress Will
rise and leave that measure bending down
the people until next December.
Sir, these are the general reasons whlch
I have to urge against the adoption OF TINS
bill. In what have said my only view has
been to exhibit to this House and nation the.
real motives which as aPprehend caused
the original imposition Of the embargo, and
which still operate in support of this bill.
do not believe that it is the intention OF a
majority of this House, at present, 10 con-
tinue this system after May. But do
believe that il is the intention Of admins
tration. My design has been to recal the
recollection of gentlemen TO the difference
between the arguments now urged tor lts
continuance, and the Official reasons at iitst
given for its adoption. And would warn
them that ii they mean to gain credit wish
the people for the intention ofrepeallng the
embargo in MAY, they willnot obtain it, Il
they leave the next congress at the mercy
of the executive, by rising without affixing
