conduct Of the President and wishing to pay some
little respect to the day. caused some rockets to be
thrown up in front Of the Presidents house, which,
understand his Majesty condescended to look atfrom
the southern porco Of the palace and was 2raciousy
pleased to express his appreciation of this fen de jo'e
which cost him nothing and which, course he took
as a compliment to himself What an Immortality
Of infamy this man is destined receive from the pen
Of some future Tacitus.
But to return. The young women and men OF our
party strolled over the grounds for some hours but
seemed to be more delighted with each others society
and the beautiful scene around them, than benefited
by the associations of the place. For my part, could
say with DR.. Johnson-"Th man is to be Pltied
whose patriotism is not fired by standing on the plans
of Marathon or whose pie,y does not grow warmer
among the ruins of Iona" In every lover OF his
country, visit to Mount Vernon will produce
warmer glow of patriotism, and deeper vensranon
for the memory Of one whose virtues are without
parallel in the history Of the world.
The mandamus case is not yet decided; but II IS
understood that the opinion of the Court has Undergone
no change and of course that Amos must either obey
or go TO prison. The issue is now between the Exc
cutve and Judiciary and if the latter has to YIELD all
power will be vested in the former-and the American
Executive despei, controlling at his will the legisa-
tive and Judicial power. and having in his hands the
army navy and treasure Of the nation? Can this be
a republic? ar is it a msnomer.
Tr CAPT MARRYATT, unless he takes particua
care OF his Sayings and dongs," will rapidly lose his
reputation among Americans. He is now picking up
characters Incidents traits, and sketches descriptive
of the state of society and manners in this country
Is he aware that the whole community are busLy
engaged in picking up sketches traits and anecdotes
Of him. His Peter Simple" and his "Jacob Faith
full" two most exquisite works Of fiction, paved the
way for his reception in this country, and disposed
every intellectual person TO treat him with courtesy
and respect. He is rapidly losing that character, If
the accounts we have received of him are accurate.
During his recent visit to West Point, he Disguised
great many intelligent, refined and educated per-
sons by his egosm, vulgarity and peculiar tastes
Capt. Marryatts behavior towards ladies, on many
occasions any thing but refined and delicate? He
forgets that in this country, whatever other barba
risms may be guilty of rudeness TO females, OF
any rank in society, is never tolerated or excused
We will venture to say that in no nation under hea-
ven, were the female sex ever loved and esteemed
they are in this country Travel where you please,
a female always commands the attention of our SEX.
On the whole we advise Capt. Marryatt to believe
that, in this country, he is not in Mapping or Almax
in the East reflection in time may save him from
great deal Of trouble hereafter.
II That the present pressure is the effec, Of the
wicked devices and Vaccinations of wicked man, and
Intervals for ought we can tell, is evident from the
embarassments it has brought upon the missionary
operations Of the day, thus preventing the salvation of
tbs world and postposing the millennium from fifty to
one hundred years-perhaps longer.

the present month cannot be sent; and thirty other
MISSIONARIES who were 10 go out in the autumn are

This state Of things is truly deplorable. Truly the
die, who ever has caused the pressure have much
to answer for.
