IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
MANIFESTO,
BY THE SUBLIME PORTE.

BY THE SUBLIME PORTE.
Allah is Great, and Mahomet is his Prophet
A voice from the new Hemisphere,
called America, has reached the ear OF
Us, Mahomed the Second, Sultan and
Sovereign by the will of God over the
faithful of Turkey, and the Infdels Of
Greece, the most august Emperor who
commands the two lands, and the two
seas, the support of Kings, the Seal of
Justice, and the Emperor of Emperors.
We listen 10 the voice. We hear that a
certain portion of the inhabitants of the
New World called the AFRICAN race,
are held in the most degrading slavery
and bondage by the infdels who profess
to have government that permits
freedom TO all its subjects equally; that
some of that wretched race have. been
barbarously kidnapped and torn from
the arms Of their fond parents and wives
IN their native country, on the shores
Of the Old World, and cruelty trans
ported in the foul and narrow holds Of
ships across an ocean of three thousand
miles; while others are "raised'' 10

less body was deposited in its still abodes
and the earth fell with heart breaking
rumbling to the hallow sounding coffin.
In moment clergyman, of the Meth
odist persuasion, gifted, as l afterwards
found, with every ornament of learning,
liberality, and religion, was seen lifting
up his hands to heaven, accompanied
with voice ofdeep-tonedfeeling which
with the quivering lip and chilly pale
ness of his quiet countenance, added
sanctity to the occasion, and doubled the
emotion of every heaving heart. II
was the first time | had ever listened to
the Church of England funeral services;
a performance of unrivalled beauty |!
and on this occasion, the holy and i'm.
pressive manner of the speaker, added
to its eloquence and effect.
Son of man remember that this life
is but the dawn of an endless existence.
Remember that the grave will soon swal-
low up every possession of joy or sor-
row incident to fleeing time, and be
careful that you have some possession

The distinguished founder of Penn

ing anecdote of himself. which beg
leave to present in his own language
II was once in France, set upon
about l | at night, as | was walking to
my lodging, by person that way laid
me with his sword in his hand, who
demanded satisfaction Of me for taking
no notice of him, at a time when he
civilly saIuted me with his hat, though
the truth was, saw him not when he
did it. ! will suppose he had killed
me, for he made several passes at me !;

If the whole ceremony were worth the

Such are the tryqss which, in. a ma
Jority of cases, give rise TO individual
contests, and too often have nations
met in deadly conflict, on grounds oil
no higher importance. A reflection Of
very serious character, arising out Of
the incident recorded in the foregoing
anecdote, may be with propriety pro,
posed to the consideration of all men Of
understanding or consciencen in add.
ton to the appeal made to them by the
author. What would the world no,
have lost, if the sword of the ruffian who
crossed the path of VIM. Penn, had
reached his heart? The assault wa.
made upon him at period antecedenr
to his adoption ofthose principles, which
during the subsequent periods of bis
life, rendered him SO eminentIy usefu
to society. II, therefore, he had per.
lshed, the divine doctrines of peace
might have still wanted one of thei,
brightest illustrations and the worIt
might, even to this period, have looked
IN vain, for a practical human evidenc,
OF the accordance of those doctrine
with the soundest national and ciyi
policy, and their close coincidenc,
with the great and important interes
of mankind.

The thought of being covered up in
the earth, removed from the view and
enjoyment of all the delights of life, to
moulder away by piece meals, the food
TOR worms, and obIivion's victim, will
sometimes fash upon the mind with a
painful and melancholy power. 1t is
then that the pursuits, the glories, and
the fleeing pleasures of mans earthly
pilgrimage, appear in all their empri-
ness and vanity, and, for moment, sink
into nothing before deaths chill and
whitening aspect.
| have sometimes wished that such
views OF what is real, and, at fartherest
must come soon, were more often pre-
sent to the mind than the nature of man
seems inclined to allow. At other times
| have supposed that the Creator has
wisely and mercifully ordained that the
disheartening view of the final end of
man should not always fill the imagina-
ton to destroy useful ambition, and
blight enjoyment. Frail, however, as is
human virtue, and weak as are our good
resolutions, no single motive to blame.
less life should be cast in the shade. or
lose its influence. If the certainty of
death and the solemnity of future iudg.
ment, were to operate with appropri-
ate power upon the mind, men would
live better, more rational, and with sur
erProspect of the Creators mercy here
after.
Over the earth which covers a hu-
man body, what an interest is excited /!
What feelings are generated! What re-
solutions started! The past, the present
and the future, open upon the mind and

emotion, every turbulent passion.

The FIELD OF WATERLOO" As
looked over this field, now green with
growing corn, ! could mark with my eye
spots where the most desperate carnage
lad been marked out by the verdure of
the wheat. The bodies had been heap
ed together; and scarcely more than
covered. And so enriched is the soil,
that in these spots the grain never ri
pens it grows rank and green to the end
Of the harvest. This touching memo
rial which endures when the thousand
groans have expired, and when the
stain of human blood has faded from
the ground, still seems to cry to Heaven
that there is awful guilt somewhere,
and a tenifck reckoning for those who
had caused destruction which the earth
won Id not conceal.-These hiIlocks of
superabundat vegetation, as the wind
rustled through the corn, seemed the
most affecting monuments which nature
could devise, and gave melancholy an
imation to this plain of death.
"When we attempt to measure the
mass Of suffering which was here inflict-
ed, and to number the individuals that
have fallen, considering that each who
suffered was our fellow man, we are
overwhelmed with the agonizing cal
culation, and retire from the field which
has been the scene of our reflections,
with the simple concentrated feeling;
these armies once lived, breathed, and
felt like US, and the time is at hand when
we shall be like them.''

ing sold at market like brute beasts.
We hear too that certain other iDhabi-
tants of the New World, called INDIANS,
have been most cruelty wronged by the
ln6dels, and have been involved in wars
with these foreign intruders, who have
been attempting to strip them of the
lands and patrimony of their brave fa-
theirs. We have learnt too, that both
the Africans and Indians have made
several unsuccessful efforts to throw of
the yoke oftheir foreign task-master--
And it being inconsistent with the
rights Of others, that the people of the
New World should interfere with the
affairs ofthe Old World, and as the pes
tilent example may prove contagious,
and as it is incompatible in the moral
dignity of man, that conduct so ATTRACTIONS
and affective to humanity, should be
tolerated by those sovereign states,
which recognize the same international
law with the people of the New World;
and it being our duty, as it is our high
pleasure, to aid the cause of, humanity
and justice on every part of this ball Of
earth, over the best part of which it
has pleased Allah (thanks be TO him,
and all honor to Mahommet, his pro-
pheD to place US, for the purpose Of
governing it according to his good plea
sure, and for depressing the ln6dels--
We do, therefore, of our own mere
motion, in full Divan, our Grand Vizier
and Mufti hunbly concurring with US,
command that an agent or Commis-
sioner, with the rank of Pacha of
three tails, shall be sent among the for
Torn and oppressed Africans and Indians
in the other Hemisphere, who are thus
kept in subsection by the Infdels of the
New World, in order to inquire into
their actual condition, and to aid and
comfort them in their praise-worthy
exertions to regain their ancient and
imprescriptible rights, and re-establish
themselves among the independent ma
tons Of the globe; and thus to alleviate
the throes and commissions of agonised
man seeking through blood and slaugh-
ter his long lost liberties.
