an extract of letter, published in the
Court Journal, on the subject of the pur.
chase of jerusalem by Baron Rothschild;
t The following curious extract is from
f private letter from Smyrna. We give it
! without note or comment
The confidence Of the children Of Israel
, in the words Of the Prophet has not been
in vain the temple Of Solomon will be re-
stored in all It's splendor. Baron Roths-
child, who was accused Of having gone to
Rome to abjure the faith Of his fathers, has
, merely passed through that city on his
way to Constantinope. where he is about
10 negotiate a loan with the Porte. IL is
, stated,on good authority that Baron Roths-
. child has engaged 10 furnish to the Sultan
the enormous sum Of $50, ,000,O00 pastres,
, at three instaments, without interest, on
condition ofthe SuItan's engaging, for him
self and his SUCCESSORS, to yield to Baron
= Rothschild for ever, the sovereignty of Je-
! rusalem, and the territory OF ancient Pal
estino, which was occupied by the twelve
tribes. The Baron's intention IS, 20 grant
10 the rich Israelltes who are scattered a
bout in different parts Of the world, por.
tons Ot that hno country, where he propo-
ses TO establish seignlorties, and to give
them as far as pcssIblei their ancient and
= sacred laws.
A little army being judged necessary
, for the restored kingdom, measures have
D been taken for recruiting it out Of the
wrecks of the Jewish battalion raised in
Holland by Louis Buonaparte. All the
Israelltes who were employed in the yari-
- Gus departments Of the Dutch Administra-
ton, are to obtain superior posts under
/ the Government Of Jerusalem, and the ex.
. penses oftheir jo.rney are to be paid them
. IN advance.
Knave-y and JoHy--It has been said
I that knaves are not fools. The assertion
n is not correct and the recent robbery Of
/ the printing office Of the New York Jour
mel Of Commerce, proves the fact; ns well
as many other circumstances which hap
, pen daily. Yes, strange as it may appear,
;. some villain entered the publishing Office
. Of the Journal Of Commerce. and stole
not money, or notes, or valuable nerchsn-
= disc, bot books, from which, the papers
= ssy bills might be n1Gds om might be
= = made out, sure enough. but all the thieves
:, in New York, with the "derii' g, their
> back, couldn't collect them. And any
: person who would rob a printing Office,
would steal loo money OF Of a grave stone.
