caution to underscore the word eventually,
and therefore cautioned Mr.. Smith to re-

word in the sentence. Let me here enquire,

thus lustihes, to the full extent, the express

PERSIA.
Curi0as anecdotes fran the late travels Of
NJ Gqraane IN Persia.

The politeness of the Persians is of a
species perfectly oriental. A nobIeman Of
high rank went one day to the French am
bassador's " to beg his pardon because the
weather was so bad in Persia"
The diplomatic conferences at Teheran
are held in the same manner as our dramatic
exhibitions, with the doors open, and in
the presence of a multitude of AUDITORS
The orientaIs cannot conceive the necessity
of secrecy in conventions between states.
The women are kept as much enslayed In
Persia as in the rest of the east. a French
man belonging to the suite of the ambassa-
dor, one day excited a great uproar at Te-
heran. for having ~ventured to cast some in
quisitive looks at the garden of a seraglio.
At the sight of a man, the women uttered
screams. Of alright some of them even
snatched up arms, and prepared to repe'
ogles with musket balls.
M. Gardane one day asked a nobleman
how many children he had? | don't

tary." The secretary turned to his list, and

their rights, and that too 50 suddenly as to
risk their fortunes, which they pledged in
support of any measure congress should de
cree. They stated that a vessel laden with
colonial produce after touching at a port in
the U. S. and giving bond for the duties,
on sailing again was captured and that a
still more destructive principle was soon at
ter supported in their courts of admiralty,
which decreed that vessels must actually
pay the duties on their cargoes. 1t was
said, that if we had accepted the treaty OF
1906 we should have escaped the evils OF
the embargo. He WAS sorry, very sorry,
such declarations were made as that we
could never get a better treaty than thst he
was sure we should the documents before
them authorized him in asserting positively
we should have a satisfactory and a better
treaty than that. Mr.. Erskine says, that a
minister will be sent to conchtde a treaty,
not on a particular point, but m all p0intS
IN dispute. He was astonished to hear gen
tlemen who had opposed a system OF mea-
sures, arrogating the credit arising out OF
these measures; it reminded him OF the fly
onrhe coach wheel exclaiming, so what a
dust we flies do make - Wac had the re-
sponsibility Of the measures The minority?
No-yet we see them stepping forward for
tie credit Of them. There is minorities in
all bodies there was a minority during the
revolution; but did they claim that under
taking.
|, has been urged against the amendment,
to the resolution, that the present happy
prospects are owing to a change ofmeasures.
It wac zoe who changed them. Ne placed
France on the same footing Of restriction
with England, which is the ostensible cause
of her offers at the time we leglslated a.

were not so great she had not imprisoned
our citizens, she had not burnt our ships.

committee of and manufactures.
% motion OF Mr.. Lyon,
ResolUed, That for the protection Of such
manufacturers as are already established,
and the encouragement of those which may
be hereafter established as well as promote
the production Of articles which they may
manufacture, it is expcdient additional du-
ties be laid On the following articles of
which leather is the principal ingredient, on
hemp and cotton and the articles manufac-
tured from them, wollen cloth, the invoice
price of which is more than 6s. sterling per
sbuare yard, woollen hosiery, window glass,
all kinds Of paper, silver and plated ware,
nails and spikes, hats, millinery of all kinds,
clothes ready made, and malt liquors.
1t was opposed on the ground that many
of the articles were not manufactured in
sufficient quantities, and that it would be
drawing from agricultural pursuits the far
mers and their connexions, which would be
destroying the greatest source of the wealth
and prosperity of the United States, and
that it would be lessening the revenue.
1t was replied, that 1t would make the ma
ton independent of foreign nations, and Sc
cure US impost from the collisions Of the
continent Of Europe, and make our wants
of revenue less, by making u expcnces
less.

On motion of Mr. Randolph, the house
took up the resolution for making provision
BY law for securing the rights Of an impair

1t was advocated, by citing the state OF
Virginia, where the system of trial by jury
was abominabIy imperfect--that the jury on
the case Of that miserable creature Callen-

1t was opposed on the ground that the
