in Hindostan, containing, under the head
of American eloquence, the speech of the
Hon. HEsRY CLkY, of Kentucky, in the
United States Senate ON the Presidents
Protest. Such notice of him in paper
on the other side OF the Globe, must be a
high compliment to Mr.. CLAY. We knew
that the speeches Of American Statesmen
attracted much attention in Europe, but
we were not prepared to believe until the
reception of the paper, that any Of the
milious IN Southern Asia ever read, at
their homes, what was said in an Ameri-
can Congress. Who Of US reads speeches
delivered in India on any subject, except
what our own missionaries send home Of
their own doings or sayings? Verify, to
be known as a statesman throughout one

awakened by an army Of bed bugs, who
made a fierce and simultaneous attack
upon him, front. flank, and rear.
Cowardlike, he fled to the middle OF
the floor, and secured blanket aud pill
low, bivouacked there for the night
Here they charged on him and routed
him completely. He roared out Justify

when his quilIship proceeded very delib-
erately TO draw circle upon the hoor,
with the molasses about 10 feet IN diam

MOTHER OF GEN GREEsE.-Among the
many ladies who distinguished themselves
for their patriotism, charity, and other
good qualities, in our revolution, there Is
one whose name ought not to be forgotten
and who, in my opinion, is equal IN merit
TO any that fourished in our country, and
there were many at the time. About the
commencement of our revolution, and as
soon as it was asceriained that Nathaniel
Greene, afterwards Gen. Greene, intended
to Join our army, in defence OF his coun
try. a deputation of Friends, Commonly
called Quakers, and 20 whose society lie
then belonged,) by an order OF the meet
ing. waited on him 10 endeavor to dIssuade
him from il, and after listening to all their
arguments on the subject, he informed
them that he felt an irreslstable propensi
ty, not to be got ovor, TO join all his bre.
,bren in arms lie thanked them for the
interest they had taken in his welfare but
he could not comply with their request
When the deputation took an efiectlonate
leave, and left him, his mother, who had
been listening with all the anxiety of fond
parent, used her best endeavors TO prevail
on him TO stay at home, when he told her
il was impossible. After pause, she
burst into tears. with this remarkable OBJ
servation " Well, Nathaniel, if thee must
go, it is possible that may hear Of thy
death, and if il is Gods will that it shall
SO happen, hope shall not have The
modification to hear of thee being wound
ed in the back" Comment is needless
a Spartan mother could not have said
more but Mrs. Greene stands pre- emin-
entity superior TO the mothers Of antiquity,
as her education was SO different. She
was bred Christian:
