thorised to publish the following docu-

:: A government, strong Oh itself as

cuments the desire which CUR government
has exhibited to establish relations Of
commerce and friendship with the sovern-
ment of the United States, whenever
they should be founded on the political
relations, usages and reciprocity which
ought to exist between governments. IL
will be seen, that the cause why the lu-
CT alive commerce which has kr more
than IS years existed between the two

owing solely TO the government of The

Stefches of the life and character of Pat
rick Henry Printed at Philadelphia,
Pr. al.
oosTINgEp.
Soon after this period, Mr.. Henry hav-
ing devoted six weeks to the study OF the
law, applied for and ob:aineda license to
practice it. For three years he fingered
in obscusity, until at length q contrsve,-
sy TO which the legislature and people
were parties on the ono side, and the
clergy on the other, called forth bis gi-
ganiic talents. An 40. had passed il
1853, authorship persons indebted for
tobacco to commute his debt fur money
at the rate of los Sd per hundred. This
act deeply affected the interests Of the
clergy, whose stipends were payable in
tobacco, and they resisted it on two
grounds /; FIRST because the act OF 1873,
not having received the royal assent, had
not the force CT law; and secondly be-
cause :he king in council had declared
that act null and y0id. In a salt insti-
tutcd by the reverend James Maury. VS..
the collector Of Hanover and his securi-
ties, the que ,tion Of law came to be an
gued on demurrer assigning as causes
Of demurrer these reasons, and vas de-
trrmined in favor If the plaintiff. The
case then came before jury on 4 writ
o. enquiry Of damages, aud it was on
this question that Mr.. Henry made his
debut before the public. Our authors ac-
count Of the whole matter is extremely
interesting, but we confire ourselves to
the following extract detailing what took
place in court.
Soon after the opening of the court,
the cause was called. 1t stood OF d writ
Of inquiry Of damages, 10. plea having
been entered by the defendants since the
judgment on the demurrer. The array
before Mr.. Hepry's eyes was now mcst
fea,f ul. On the bench sat more than
twenty clergymcn, the most learned men
in the colony, ara the most capable, as
well as the severest critics beiru whom
it was possible for linn to have made his
debu'. The court house wss crowded
with an overwhelming multitude, and
surrounded with an Immense aud anx-
ious throag, vino not finding room to en-.
ter, were endea,oring to listen without,
in the deepest attention. But there was
something still more awfplIy di,concert

presiding magistrate, SIT n" other person,

the cause very briefly in tue way Of a, :

Extract Of . letter to the editor Of the

We passed very pleasant day here
Yesterday. and our city was quite enli-

The previous visits having been made
agreeably to etiquette, at eleven o'clock
yesterday, the governor, the minister,
with his very amiab!e lady, accompanied
0y number of ladies and gentlemen,
left the wharf tor the Franklin in the SD
perb. boats of that ship: the presence OF
our distinguished hero, commodore Deca

pleasure to the party. 'Fhe day was un-
us;ally brilliant. and il is long since l
have seen our venerable city so gay and
,hronged. On the magnificent dome OF
the state house was displayed the state
fac, in honor of the occasion.
The party were received on board
the "a with all the civilities which mill
tary etiquette and politeness prompted.
Commodore Stewart and captain Ballard
conducted their visitors through every
part Of the ship, and the extreme harmony
Of arrangement, the happy union OF com
forts for the crew, and terril.. fitness for
offensive operations which prevail on
board the franklin, must give the most
heartfelt exultation and delight to every
American breast, and received the Just
and animated encomiums Of tho disln,
guished guests.

Rush, and her little family. On retur.-

in the usual excellent style, given to the

the visitors we were gratifed to see cap
tain Thompson. who commanded the
Louisiana at the defence of New Orleans.
That gallant officer is passenger in the
