The Dog.-An affecting anecdete was
a short time since related in the French
papers. A young man took dog into a
boat, rowed TO the center of the Seine,
and threw The animal over, with intent
to drown him. The poor dog often tri-
ed to climb up the side of the boat, but
his master as often pushed it back, till,
over balancing himself, he fell over
board. As soon as the faithful dog saw
his master in the stream, he left the
boat and held him above water till help
arrived from the shore, and his life was
saved.

Remarks on the Presidents Inaugural
Speech.
From the Trinidad Gazette


From the Trinidad Gazette.l
By the arrival of the schooner Reso-
luton, from the United States of Ameri-
ca, we are enabled to present our read
ers with the inaugural Speech Of the
new President, Mr.. JOHN @. ADAMS. 1t
contains powerful historical sketch Of
the leading principles and policy of
that Government since the first estab-
lishment of the Federal Union. The
most conspicuous feature in this sketch,
is the uniformity of that policy under
the successive Governments of differ
ent persons; counterpart of which we
should in vain endeavor TO discover in
the Royal administrations of Europe,
even during the reign of the same indi-
vidual this proceeds from the su-
preme power being lodged with the
people the policy of the Government
must in consequence be regulated by
their interests; and the real interests of
the people are ever unvarying and uni
form.
There is something in the rising des-
tiny ofthis extraordinary Republic which
fercibly arrests attention. She stands
like Light and Beacon in the midst
of nations. Her public documents seem
intended for herself alone they speak
to the Universe. A period of profound
peace exhibits her in an attitude proudly
pre-eminent; that which in Europe con-
stitutes only the repose of the worn
out belligerent-a cessation from toll
and misery-the mere stupor of sleep,
with her Presents'the imposing specta-
Gle of the rapid advancement of man
kind in every requirement which can
render life digni6ed or desirable, of the
development Of the human faculties,
applied to the noblest purposes for
which they were given in trust by
Heaven-that of improving the condi-
ton Of the human race, and of making
utility to the many, and not the advan-

When the first transports of his emo
ton had subsidized, he began to reflect
with sore uneasiness on the time he had
already lost since his arrival.
+" Alas, what have been doing p ex-
claimed he. "This gold which have
been collecting, tell me, reverend priests,
will it avail me any thing when the thir-
ty or forty years are expired which you
say, may possibly sojourn in your plan
etr'
Nay" replied the priests, " but ver-
lily you will find it of excellent use so
long as you remain in it,
GA very little Of it shall suffice me-"
replied he, "for consider, how soon this
period will be past: what avails it what
my condition may be for so short sea-
son? will betake, myself, from this
hour, to the grand concerns of which
you have charitably informed me.''
Accordingly, from that period, contiu-
ues the legend, the stranger devoted
himself TO the performance of those con-
ditions on which, he was told, his future
welfare depended-but, in so doing, he
had an opposition 10 encounter wholly
unexpected, and for which he was even
at loss to account. By thus devoting
his chief attention to his chief interests,
he excited the surprise, the contempt,
and even the enmity of most Of the in
habitants of the city, and they rarely
mentioned him but with a term of re-
proach, which has been variously rem
dered in all the modern languages.
Nothing could equal the strangers sur
prise at this circumstance as we'll as
that of his fellow-citizens appearing,
generally, SO extremely Indifferent as
they did to their own interests. That
they should have SO little prudence and
forethought as to provide only for their
necessities and pleasures for that short
part Of their existence in which they
were to remain in this planet, he could
consider only as the effect of disordered
intellect; so that he even returned
their incivilities to himself, with affec-
tionate expostulation, accompanied by
lively emotions of compassion and a.
maZement.
lfever he was tempted for moment
to violate any of the conditions of his flu
ture happiness, he bewailed his own
madness with agonizing emotions, and
to all the invitations he received from
others to do any thing inconsistent with
his real interests, he had but one an

Practical Blunder Of an Irish Foot
Pad Robber.

During a journey of the Bishop of
Salisbury (the celebrated Gilbert Bur-
metz from his See to Londen, he had a
sudden occasion to stop the carriage,
which he desired might proceed a. a
slow pace, as he expected shortly to
overtake it. Very few minutes had
elapsed before his Lordship was attack
ed by robber, who, in the Irish orogue,
demanded his watch and money. Re-
monstrance under such circumstances
being unavailing, he complied with the
bes; grace in his power, expecting no
tuther molestation. The coat, howev-
er, of the Bishop, happening to take
the fancy Of the thief, he insisted on its
being exchanged for his own thread
bare jerkin, in which the clerical digni-
tary was suffered to depart. During
this transaction, the Bishops coach had
proceeded a considerable distance, and
Mrs. Burnett, becoming uneasy at her
husbands delay, put her head out of
the window, and saw him running TO-
wards her with all possible speed, in
his new disguise, with the meaning OF
which she was soon made acquainted.
The Bishop short time afterwards, on
putting his hand into one of the pockets
OF the Jerkin, had the unexpected good
fortune TO find his own watch, and in
the other, not only his own purse, but
also another, containing upwards of SO
golden Jacobuses!

THE .iRABLANS.

Hospitality is a great point of hoIFcr
among an Arabian nation, called the
Druzes. Whoever presents himself at
their door, in the quality of suppliant
or passenger, is sure of being entertain
ed with lodging and food, in the most
generous and unaffected manner. The
lowest peasants have been often seen
10 give the last morsel of bread they
had in their houses to the hungry trav-
eller; and when a foreigner observed
to them that they wanted prudence,
their answer was, "God is liberal and
great, and all men are brethren;'' -
There are, therefore, no inns in this
country, any more than in the rest Of Tur-
key. When they have once contracted
with their guest, the sacred engagement
of bread and salt, no subsequent event
can make them violate ii. Various ID
stances of this are related, which do
honor TO their character. A few years
ago, an Aga of the Janissaries, having
been engaged in rebellion, fled from
Damascus, and retired among the Dru-
yes. The Pacha was informed of this,
and demanded him Of the Emir, threat
ening to make war on him in case of
refusal. The Emir demanded him of
the Shaik Talhouk, who had received
him; but the indignant Shaik replied,
"When have you known the Druzes
deliver up their guests Tell the Emir.
that, as long as Talhouk shall preserve
his beard, not hair of the head of his
srppliant shall fall 70 The Emir threat
ened him with force Talhouk armed
his family. The Emir, dreading a re-
volt, adopted method practised as ju-
ridical in that country. He declared to
the Shaik, that he would cut down fifty
mulberry trees a day, until he should
give up the Aga. He proceeded as far
as thousand, and Talhouk-stiIl remain
ed inflexible. At length, the other
Shaiks, enraged, took up the quarrel,
and the commotion was about to become
general, when the Aga, reproaching
himself with being the cause of so much
mischief, made his. escape, without the
knowledge even Of Talhouk.
In the time of the Caliphs, when Abb
dalai, the shedder Of blood, had murder
ed every descendant of Ommiah. within
his reach, one of that family, named l.
brahim, the son of Soliman, had the good
fortune to escape and reach Koufa,
which he entered in disguise. Knowing
no person in whom he could confide, he
sat under the portico of large house.
Soon after the master, arriving, follow
ed by several servants, alighted from his
horse, entered, and seeing the stranger,
asked him who he was : &C l am an I'M
fortunate man." replied Ibrahim, " and
request from thee an asylum" "God
protect thee" replied the rich man
"enter, and remain in peace" Ibrahim
lived several months in his house, with
out being questioned by his host. But,
astonished to'see him every day go out
on horseback, and return at the same
hour, he ventured one day TO inquire
the reason. e" have been informed"
replied the rich man, 8" that a person
named lbrahim, the son of Soliman, is
concealed in this town; he has slain my
father, and am searching for him to
retaliate. "Then know" said Ibra-
him, that God has purposely conduct

A letter from Constantinople March 5th,
says, he Janssaries have positively refused
TO march against the Morea, and their refusal
IS to be declared aloud by their Aga to the
sultan, when ne goes to the Mosque. Several
OF the men of this turbulent soldiery have
been heard to say: " We will no: be quiet,

Clay Bey, and Hussin Bey.n A tremendous

greater part of the town has been DESTROYED.

We give the following as specimen of the
Stories which are manufactured among US,
in order to crafty sectional feelings and
make our neighbours appear ridiculous.
Such we believe is generally the origin OF
the ISLANDERS of foreign travellers which
have caused so much irritation and i'll
blood. They have the tales reported here,
and deem themselves perfectly justifable
in relating that Of us which they hear
from ourselves.
