THE JEW OUTWITTED.
A Turkish Storq.

The Turks have a tradition that the
Jews who dwelt formerly in great num-
bers in Hannah, large town in Syria,
about 100 miles north of Damascus, all
left the place from the following circum-
stance. Neg York Observer.
ATurk who was neighbour to Jew,
intended going to Mecca with his wife !;
and he desired the Jew to take care of
three great pots of butter, which he COM
mitted to him till he came back from
Mecca. Two or three months after the
departure of the Turk, the price of but
ter increased. The Jew thought he
might profit by this circumstance, in sell
ling the butter; and buying other butter
before the arrival of the Turk, when it
should be cheaper. The Jews wife APP
proved of this scheme, and he immedi-
ately began to empty the pots, and to
carry the butter to market for sale. He
found at length a great sum of money
which the Turk had hid in the pot of
butter and when the Jew saw this, he
Immediately gave up the idea of selling
the butter, and examined the two other
pots TO see whether they also contained
money, which was the case. Some time
after, the Turk returned from Mecca,
and asked to take back the butter, which
the Jew gave 10 him Immediately. The
Turk then examined the pot at home,
and found that the gold was gone. The
Turk was COMPOUNDED, as he knew not
how to get back his money; for the tyr.
amy the Turkish government is such,
that the Turks are obliged to pretend
they have no money, lest the govern
ment should deprive them of it. If the
Turk accused the Jew to the governor,
the governor might probably take the
money from the Jew and keep it himself.
The Turk therefore managed in the fol-
lowing manner He bought a young
monkey, which he shut up in a room in
his house, and he himself fed him, and
did not suffer any body else to appear
before the monkey; and the Turk every
time he went to feed the monkey, put
on dress like that Of the Jew who took
the money. After some time the mon
key was quite accustomed to him, and
knew nobody else he then one day de-
sired the Jew 10 send his son to him, TO
carry some meat TO his house, as he had
nobody to carry it home from the mar
ket. The Turk previously had instruct
ed his wife, that if ever the Jews son
should come, she should shut him up in
a room. The Turk having sent the
Jews son, she did according TO the order
of her husband. The father of the
young Jew waited long time, and when
his son did not return, on the night ap.
preaching, be reclaimed his son from the
Turk. The Turk replied that be knew
nothing of him; the Jew then went to
the Cad, who summoned the Turk before

descend, and after making a number of
circles round the centre dome, arose in
graceful spirals, and they all wheeled off

President Adams was clothed on the
day of his Inauguration, in a complete
suit of domestic manufactures. The
National Journal states, that in the de-
livery of his address he was visibIy and
considerably agitated; while the en-
Phatic distinctness, and propriety of his
manner, produced a powerful effect upon
his auditors.

The accounts from Europe are to the 10Th

Will be found in our mail columns. The Brit
ism parliament was opened on the Sd ult. The
hing' IN his Speech, congratulated them that
'here never was period when all the inter
ests OF the nation were at the same time so
thriving, or when so general feeling of con-
tent pervaded all classes, both in Britain and
IN ireland. lie informs that the native gov.
ernments'in the East manifest friendly disno.
sHion, accepting that of Burmah. the contesg
win whom, it was expected, would soon be
brought to successful issue, He informs tho
House OF Commons, that the state of the East.
indian possessions renders an augmentation Of
the military establishment necessary. He in.
forms Parliament, that he continues TO receive
assurances from his allies, and from the priaci-
pal powers, of their undated desire TO main.
tam peace-that some difficulties have arisen
with respect to the treaty, with this country. for
'he suppression OF the slave trade, but hopes
they will eventually be removed--tha, he has
taken measures for confirming by treaties the
commercial relations, already subsistipg, with
those countries of America who have thrown
OH their dependence on Spain.
The TACT, thus officially confirmed of the
acknowledgment by Great Britain, of the in.
dependence Of the South American States will
probably lead to the most beneficial results
Z
by the establishment of commercial regula.
t'ons' by treaty with such power, as Great
Britain, the confidence in their government is
increased, and the hopes of Spain are render
ed more desperate. Other powers will also be
anxious to establish similar relations, in order
to participate with Great Britain in the lucrs-
tive commerce of those States, and it NAV be
reasonably inferred that Spain, when she fnds
the loss of her dominion over them inevitable
will not be the last to endearor to secure
portion OF those advantages to herself, which
she can do only by acknowledging their indie
pendence.

him, and asked him what he had done
with the Jews son : he replied that the
son had been sent to his house. but that
unfortunately the son of the Jew had
blasphemed the Deity, and was thereup-
on Immediately metamorphosed into a
monkey, and on that account he was a.
shaned TO produce him. The Cadi gave
orders that the monkey should be imme-
diately brought before him; the mon
key, the moment she saw the Jew in the
dress in which he was accustomed to see
his master, sprang upon him and kissed
him. The Turk addressed himself to
the Cadi, said, "Do you not see how the
child, although metamorphosed, knows
his true father?'' The Cadi in his wis
dom replied, "It is true God is mighty
above all things, and can do every thing. -
The Cadi said then to the Jew, A." Dog,
take your child, and CO." The Jew,
however, understood the trick of the
Turk, and gave back the money, and
the Turk gave him his son. The Jews
OF Hannah concluded from this, that
the Turks at Hannah were more cum
ming than themselves, and therefore left
the town.

Patent Bellows.--An ingenious me-
chanic surprised us to-day by the exhi-
bition of beautiful pair of bellows, on
new plan, and depending on some
principles in pneumatics which we
have not time to explain at present.
This putting machine consists of dou-
BILE pair of bellows of the common form,
having an external and an internal valve.
by the joint operations of which a con-
slant expulsion of wind is carried on
without subjecting the apparatus to those
asthmatic and interrupted expirations
which are go affecting in the common
bellows. They are now in full opera
ton at our Office, and we understand the
inventor intends applying for a patent.
Every body may readily perceive these
remarks are not designed as a puff, a
matter we leave entirely to the bellows
themselves, they being expressly de-
signed for that purpose.

OF the tribe, who made a great noise,

of the troop, however, stood his ground,
chatteIing furiously; the sportsman did
not like to fire at the creature, and
nothing short of firing would suffice to
drive him off. At length he came to

of no avail, began lamentable moaning,
and by the most expressive gestures to
beg for the dead body. 1t was given

and bore it away to its expecting COM
panions. They who were witnesses OF
the extraordinary scene, resolved never
again to fire at one of the monkey race.
