AN IMPosToR.-A week or two since, a
scoundrel, in the garb Of a gentleman, made
his appearance in this town, and as he brought
with him forged credentials, he succeeded in
renting counting room in a commercial part
Of the town; and stated that he was abou, to
esta olish himself as a Commission Merchant.
His address was that of gentleman, and
making the most of his colloquinl powers, he
succeeded, in contra citing debts to the amount
of two or three hundred dollars, when he de-
camped, leaving nothing behind him, but The
: painful memory" Of his debts. He passed
by the name of Thomas W. Tryon. though he
sometimes assumed the title of Mr.. Treadwell.
When last seen, he was moving towards Bos-
ton, with all his earthly chattels, under his
arm. tied up in bundle. To prevent his de-
predatng on the good people Of the Literary
Emporium" we deem it proper to give de-

five years old, five feet, seven or eight in ches
high, rather slender, and stoops when walking
His visage is thin, and his front teeth uneven
When he left he had on brown frock coat,
black pantaloons and vest, and brown cam

MAJOR NoAH's CoNsIsrENcY.-Majo
Noah, in his Enquirer Of last Friday, published
the following paragraph, in relation to the
nomination Of Mr.. Southwick for the office of
Governor Of the State of New-Yerk:
NOMINATIONS The Adams party hare
nominated Solomon Southtciek, Esq as their
candidate for Governor Mr.. Southwick will
probably have as large vote in the Western
District, from the ant-AIasonic interest, as any
candidate that could be offered from that par
iy."
The paragraph had hardly got before tho pub
lie, 1t had not become perfectly cool, as q baker
would say, when The Major wrote and publish
ed The following, on tho same subject:
"MR. SoUTHwICK. The lenders Of the
Adsms party are peyy uneasy at the nomina-
ton Of Solomon Southwick, Esq. as Governor
They admit, that he has talents of no ordinary
character, and that he is faithful TO the cause
but he is not the man that they have selected
and it is whispered that means must be found
to buy him oil. We do not think that he is a
man to be bought, and we Judge from the grea
pecurary sacrifices he has made during his
long political eareer.''
We hope that The Major, will take the floor
and offer an explanation. What does he
mean' Does he mean to say, that tho Adam.
party support, or oppose, Mr.. Southwick S
nomination. We are certa nly unable 10 de-
eide what he means, by any thing he writes!

The KENTUCKY GAzETTI.-The Editor

deal Of pains, to interfere with the affairs Of

which We had rather avoid
II il can afford him the least satisfa cton, we
will assure him, that We are not at all asham-
ed Of being ranked among the supporters Of the
administration, and that we are not unwilling
to be accused Of endeavoring to rescue tho fame
Of the injured, from the attacks Of tho politi-
cal vullurc. Mr.. Darby, the gentleman, who
wo have defended in our poor way, is man
who has been most grossly injured by General
Jackson and his, patizans; and since they have
failed to make him appear guilty of participa-
ting with Beauchamp in the murder Of Sharpe.
to suit their own purposes, they now struggle
to rob him Of his good name. lf Mr.. Darby
had not opposed the election of General Jack
son, if he had advocated the hero Of the Her
mitage, we should not have hoard him de-
nounc6d, but on the contrary, should have
seen him extol He'd to the skios, as the very
pink Of virtue and picty. But unfortunately, OF
rather fortunately for Darby he took contrary
stand, with regard to the canvass, and has es'
poussd the cause Of Mr.. Adams, and for doing
this he is to be prescribed.

OF A JOURNEY FROM
CONSTANTINOPLE TO ENGLAND.
For this very entertaining and apropos vol
ume, we are indebted to the pen of DR.. Walsh,
Chaplain to Lord Strangford, our Ambassador
at Constantinople; who, on leaving that city,
performed journey through the country no,o
so interesting, as the theatre on which the fate
of Turkey is about TO be decided by its Russian
invaders.
DR.. Walsh set out from Constantinople on the
28th of October, to traverse the route which
Darius pursued in his memorable expedition
against the Scythans $500 years ago, and that
which the Russians have already taken, and are
again taking, in their march against the Otto
man Porte.
Conceive (says the author) travelling through
country in the winter, where, generally speak
ing, there are no roads, no carriages, no inns,
no suppers, and no beds The only roads are
beaten pathways, made by one horseman and
followed by another, and every man may make
one for himself if he pleascs. The only carriag-
es are wooden panks, laid upon rough wheels,
called arubas, and drawn by bufaloes, which
are seldom used except for burdens The only
inns are large stables, where nothing is to be
had but chopped straw. The only suppers are
what you may pick up on the read, if you are
tho night; and the only beds are the chopped
straw in the stable, or deal board in cock
loft over it; and even this, in many places, is
not to be had. There are, doubtless, exceptions
to This general picture, as l myself experien-
ced; but, in the main, it is true; and such is
the actual state of travelling at this day in most
parts of the Turkish empire through which
have passed, both in Asia and in Europe"
DR.. Walsh took as companion Swiss reno
gado, but of good character his name was
Mustapha, and he was Tartar janissary attach
ed to the English palace.
"The city of Constantinople (he goes on to
state) is built on triangular promontory, pro-
jecting into the sea of Marmora two sides are
washed by the sea, and the third is that which
connects the triangle with the main land, and
may be called its base. These sides were all
well fortified with walls, which still remain,
though in several places SO dilapidated as to be
incapable of any defence, without great repara-
ton. Tho whole circuit is estimated at more
than twelve miles; the side washed by the har-
bor three that washed by the sea of Marmora,
four and the base ii. g. walls and fortifcationsj
five miles, extending from sea to sea, and ter
minatng in the Seven Towers"
The narrative continues to raise in interest.
"We now arrived at the Top Kapous, or Gate
of the Canon, which was the gate where Ma.
homet entered the devoted city 1t is called
Top Kapousi, because the Turks have set over
it some large globes of granite, such as they
use for balls in their immense pieces of ord-
nance and they have placed them here to COM
memorate the spot where they entered and took
possession of this capital Of the Christian world
At some distance in front Of this gate, is an ar
'tificial mound, called Maltepe, which ascend

OF MS predecessors had been strangled, one of
whom was his own brother. His son prema-
tureiy Died; and it was reported that he had
been made way with by his own father, lest he
should be set up in his place. 1t is known,
however, that the boy died of the small pox,
and that his father has piyen an extraordiparv
example to his subjects, by having his surviv-
ing children vaccinated and so has shewn in
one instance at least, a disposition to adopt

IN oriental literature, writes and understands
ARABIC we'll, and his hatasheriffs. Gproclama-
tionsl which he always dictates, and sometimes
writes with his own hand, are admired for their
style and composition. He is not man of
morose or cruel disposition in his own family !:
on toe contrary, he has several daughters by
different mothers, to all of whom he is affec-
tionately attached and in his ordinary inter-
course in private life he is urbane and affable
His public conduct, however, has been marked
by extraordinary ferceness ard unrelenting rig
or, not only to ilajas, but TO Turks themselves ;
and IN this he has shewn an impartial disregard
TO human life, and not strict adherence to hu-
man obligations. But whatever his conduct has
been to his own subjects, to those Of foreign
nations he has afforded the most involabIe pro-
lection. He has discontinued the barbarous
practice of his predecessors in sending ambas-
sadors to the Seven Towers, instead of which,
whenever they disagree, and are disposed to
depart he affords them every facility, and those
of their nation who please to remain are in Sc
curity. During the frenzied excitement of the
populaee, which took place at the breaking out
ct the Greek insurrccton, the odium and pre-
JUDGE Of the Turks extended to all Christians ;
yet the Franks were perfectly safe, while the
Greeks were shot without mercy wherever
they were met by the mob and notwithstand-
ing few accidents which occurred to indvid
uals in the confusion, we never hesitated to
walk abroad, either in the town or its vicinity,
tor business or amusement, though every Turk
was armed with yatagan and case of loaded
pistols, which he was ready to use on the slight
est provOcation. On more recent occasions,
where such real cause Of complaint and irrita-
ton existed, il is but justice to the present Sui
tan to say. that this moderation and good faith
have afforded examples which the best Chris
tan nation in. Europe might be proud to fol-
