TUEsDA MORNING, JUNE 10, 1926.

their republication from the National Intelli-
gencer, and shall endeavor to give the whole Sc
ries regularly as they appear. The one which
we complete to-day is rot precisely the speech
that was delivered, but it is near enough to ena-
bic the people to form pretty correct estimate
Of Mr.. Randolph's capacity for investigating
abslruse propositions; his mode Of reasoning;
his regard for the feelings Of distinguished
gentlemen; his veneration for the fair sex; his
chastity in the selection Of figures Of speech;
and with all, his fitness to be the representative
of great State, and member Of The most ve-
nera,de assembly oil Legislators that ever regu
lated the mortal concerns Of man. The speech
is before the reader,--we shall therefore refrain
from tedious comments; but We beg leave to re-
commend an experiment which, we think, will
result in a conviction that the speech is less APP
plicable to the subject in hand than TO any other
tina, could be imagined. The experiment is
,his:---Let the reader give each successive SEN
tence a second or third perusal, and il he find
nothing in it relating to the question under dis
cLssion, let him cross it with pencil; and
when he has completed his labors, let him ag-
greeate the uncancelled fragments; and if he
pleases, furnish US with copy for publication
An arrival at New-York from Havre brings
The most satisfactory and glorious news from
the Greeks For particulars the reader is re-
rerred to the Postscript. Cottons are represent
ed to be in fair demand at Havre, notwithstand-
ing the abundance Of supplies.
The Courier Francois speaks in high terms
of the Presidents Message relating 10 the Pa
mama question, which it has published at full
length.
Letters from Havana to The 9th ultimo,
have been received at Charleston,( Is c. stating
that the Pirates are again out and have attacked
several vessels, which succeeded in getting clear
Of them. The British armed schooner Magpie,
was to sail the next morning in pursuit of them.
II was reported that the Spanish feet was 10
sail in few DAYS from Cuba TO Jamaica and
thence to Carthagera. Business is represented
10 be excessively dull in American Produce,
and that the Island is without demand.
A St. Johns New Brunswick paper of the
25th ultimo contains the instructions to the
Collec,o of the Customs from the Lords Of the
Treasury, to charge French and Prussian ves-
sells and their cargoes, legally imported and
exported, with only such duties as are charged
on British vessels, and similar cargoes on board
them. This measure is adopted in conformity
with the commercial convention lately conclu-
ded with France, and in consequence Of ufor-
nation through the Prussian minister, that the
navigation and commerce of Great Britain is
placed in Prussisn ports on the footing OF that
Of the most favored nations.
Captain Smith, of the ship Superior, just ar
rived at New-York from the Pacific Ocean,
touched at ST Helena on the 9th OF april, and

lena from England, brought an order TO discon-
tnue in future the exaction Of tonnage duty on

bout IS pei Cask.
The Baltimore Gazette publishes an extract
of a letter from Port auPrince, dated May 22d,
1926, from which it appears some very impor'
,ant commercial regulations have been adopted
by the Hayten Government, calculated to In
;ures if not to destroy carrying trade to that
Island The letter states that the Government
has passed law respecting duties which ad-
mirs their citizens to import, under the Hayden
fac. at one sixth less duty than the mos, favored
nation. This regulation, it is SAID, Will give
them most decided advantage over theCnlteG
States, and so clearly do the merchants there
perceive it, that they have already commenced
buying vessels, and arc hot for importalions on
their own account. Their triumph will be
short-lived, and probably result in more adVan-
,ageous terms 10 the country, than would, under
other circumstances, have been demanded Col
fee is quoted at IS 81; Flour Sll, dull; Mess
Pork $40, and rising, Rice at SIS; and Spanish
Dollars at Is per cent. premium.
