&C. From the following paragraph, it
appears, that THOMPSON, the Abolition
emissary, has not left the country, as
stated in our last number.
The Boston Gazette Of Wednesday,
says Son Saturday last Thompson
was al Marblehead, where he had been
residing, except at slight intervals, for
4 several weeks, with his family. The
very house ia which he resides is
known to number of gentlemen in
this city, but they are unwilling that
he should be disturbed, 30 long as he
pays proper Difference to public o.

day, says
"It was rumored las. evening, that
Thompson was to lecture at an anti
slavery meeting, at the Howard street
yestry. A considerable number Of
young men and boys assembled ia the
street early in the evening, and remain
ed there till towards o'clock! We
do not hear that any breach Of the law
took place except the breaking of a
/ lantern 10 the hands of the sheriff, who
was on the spot for the preservation Of
the peace. The breaker of the lantern
was Immediately seized by the officers,
but effected his escape before reaching
the Jail. We have not IN derssood

dress the meeting or not. He was not

broke up the crowd dispersed.
"A. Gfuithusen, the well known astron-

the following picture Of us, in which,
although it is greatly exaggerated,
there is, we are sorry to say, too much

at is melancholy to witness the an
imosties,the heart burnings, the strifes
and bitter tatreds,' which exist in that
miscalled 'land of liberty the United
States. Sect is ranged against sect,
both in politics and in religion, with
demoniacal spirit, and no falsehood,
however gross, but receives its host OF
supporters. Reason leaves her throne,
which is usurped by lawless and IN
| governable passions. Wherever there
is minority, it must be sacrificed to
the wild impulses of a majority,
whether it be on account of a convent
or theatre, post-office or church,
mason or an anti m ason, an Irishman
or negro. The true bondsmen are
the minority, no matter on what ques-
ton, TO whom freedom, neither Of
speech nor Of action, is allowed. No
wonder that British House of Com

| FRENCH PAPERS. have receiv.
ed this morning by the packet Ship
France, from Havre, our regular files Of
Paris papers, to the 24th Of Septem-
Der inclusive. They are entirely desti>
,ute Of news-their contents having
been anticipated via England.
We perceive, or think we perceive,
a change in the tone Of the press. The
late law regulating the press is not
without influence in IFS conduct. We
fad no attacks upon the person of the
King, or his title but the opposition,
though constrained, is as vigorous as
ever. It's attacks, however, are more
oblique and covert /; and our opinion
from the aspec, Of the French press
| generally, is, that the citizen King will
find full employment for all his ener
! gies and powers, for the preservation OF
his government.
