nal. an able article, over the signature OF pat
rick Henry" relative to the unfair and undis
n;6ed conduct of Mr.. Calhoun, in the discharge
of his duties as President Of the Senate. o
that article Mr.. Calhoun Git is believed) replied,
yindicating his decisions, and assaiiing Win
more bitterness than ability, the President OF
the United States and his Cabinet Patrick
Henry reioined in several numbers, one OF
which we insert to-day, and shall make room
for the others as early as possible. Their great
length may prevent many from peruslng them;
bur the excellence ofthe composition and clear
ness of the argument, entitle them to be gene
rally read.

We make the following selections from the
evening papers of Monday.
The New-York American remarks that the
most important piece OF news is that connect
ed with the revolt Of the Janissaries in Con-
stantino2le, owing TO ,he attempt OF the Sultan
10 subiec, them to European discipline. They
were overpowered in the capital, but as they are
spread all over the empire and have common
cause, 1t may be hoped, 1--WE say "hoPed" IN
the interest Of the Greeks,) that intestine war
Mill divert the force which otherwise would be
exerted against the rebels Of the Morea and the
Isles Selm III. uncle Of the present Sultan,
persisted in similar insurection in 1907: Hi.
nephew has yet to see the issue Of his attempt.
1t is said he evinced great personal courage III
the attack upon the Janissaries, and the most
unrelenting temper. The French papers con-
cur in supposing that this insurrection may
render the Divan more accessible TO the repre-.

interceding to stop the effusion Of the blood OF
the Greeks.

economy OF our system, and the prodigality
and extent of English expenditure, where such
deficit does not appear TO excite alarm or un'
easiness.

confidence on the London Exchange. On Fri.

which offered bills for sale, and one other only,
Rothschild, that would buy.
