The feeling Of sublinity in the contempla.
ton of the extension of the power of Jeho.
yah to the minutest as well as largest object.
is still more powerfully exhibited in the new
world the microscope has created. 1t is not
only among the feathered tribes that splen-
dOur OfcolOuring exists. nor is the vegetable
creation alone clothed more magnifcenfly
than Solomon in his glory--the insects that
daily buzz around our tables and irritate us by
theirvists have their GLORIOUS glistening beau
ty." The common house-fy when viewed
through microscope futters its membranous

hues, and exhibits to the wondering observer
an eye divided into thousands of lenses re-
sembiing lattice work, each giving distinct
image of external objects. ,e.., 4.
The common green mould, if viewed thro'

ITS seeds to the wind, and then sinks into no.
thing. How minute must be that seeds when
even the bud that contains it is not visible to
the eye unless assisted by magnifying power
of 200 times in area, and how great must be
the power of that Being whose ken extends
even to the minutest of these seeds, and snf-
fers hone to fall to the ground unnoticed.
But the wonders of creation the microscope
exhibits are still greater. IF a piece Of fresh
meat or young root of the beet be suffered
to soak for three or four days in water expo
sed to the air, and drop of this waters be
viewed through powerful magniEer, it will be
found to contain aninalculae of a peculiar de-
scription some like wheels rolling through
the mass Of waters (which to the eye covers
10000 times the space it does when viewed
with no optical assistance) some like plants
spr;nging up from the bottom extending their
boughs and then suddenly contracting all
Of them with no similarity to those ami
mails we see around us, yet all possessing un,
donbtedly the power Of self support and the
principles of naturalization within them. Nor
is the wisdom of God less extensively exhibi-
ted than his power. In the instinct Of vari-
GUS animals answering the same ends and per-
forming the same services that art and educa-
ton and reason accomplish I'M man--how man
ifest have been the exhibitions of his wisdom.
But detail Of this instinct would be utterly
inconsistent with the limits of this article or
even Of this paper. I shall conclude with this
remark.--If this world is SO beautifnl,so high
ly adorned, and SO magniRcently decorated
when it has been so debased by sin and is des-
tined to destruction beautiful, how a
dorned and how magnificent must be the ma
terial heavens where holiness only is felt :?
whose duration is eternal? Leaving out Of
consideration its moral beauties and the pres
ence of its maker. how varied must be the
beauty of its scenery, how splendid its vcgeta-
BILE creation, how magnificent its structure. Il
God have so adorned this world. where sinful
bodies live and die-how much has he ador-
ned that world where glorifed bodies after the
resurrection live and reign forever.
PARIS, Sept. &c.
On the Esd ult. the minister Of foreign
affairs received dispatches from CONSTANT
nople, which were said to be Of the utmost
importance. All that we have been able
to learn Of their import is, that CONSTANT
nople was in flames. The report was cir
culated yesterday, and is confirmed this
evening by the Etoile. That ministerial
paper states, that as soon as the standard Of
the Prophet was withdrawn from the outer
court of the Seraglio, violent confagra-
ton broke out, and was raging at the time
Iof the departure of the bearer of the des-
patches. We know that the standard Of
the Prophet is displayed in times of immi-
nent danger to the empire, and that then
every true Mussulman is bound to repair
to il in defence Of his sovereign. 1t is less
generally known that the Janissarics show
their disafFectian to thegovernment by set
ing fire to the capital Courier FrGncGis.
