Mr.. Clayton has had ga sharp correspondence
with the government of Sweden. 1t appears that,
"Mr. Ellsworth, late charge to Sweden, was in
a letter from some Swedish official to our govern
ment and the Swedish charge at Washington,
charged with certain illicit conduct, and upon that
charge, was recalled. After his recall, and before
he had left Stockholm, he procured from Baron
Stermeld, Swedish minister of foreign affairs. n
certificate exonerating him from the allegations
upon which he was recalled. This certificate
threw tho whole burden ofproof upon Sec rotary
OF State, and placed him in the attitude of having
punished public officer without sufficient proof
OF ms crime, and with the proof. to the contrary
% h's innocence from The government to which
he was commissioned. Mr. Clayton fired up; and.
as IN the Poussn business he wrote pere "A ~
demand TO the Swedish charge then in New York,
requiring his appearance at Washnton without
delay. But the charge had gone home. MrCI,
ton then applied TO the Swedish CONSUL eneraf for
an explanation; but he knew nothing about the
matter, and had nothing to say upon the subject.
Mr.. Clayton then wrote directly to the Swedish
minister of foreign affairs at Stockholm, in the
same independent and indignant tone US to De
ioc9uevllle; and there tine matter stands. Whe.
lher the Swedish minister has condescended no ex.
plain, or whether the entente cordiale is broken Off
for the present with the government, has not
tronspired.
The case, however is but another illustration of
tho bungling manner in which Mr.. Clayton has

tn tk Edtsor of the Inteliigencer:

DEAR SIR:-In the "Intelgencer," of the 24th
November last, see article over the signature
of "a Subscribers" which seems worthy OF notice.
He objects to a resolution of the Baptist Assocn-
ton Of Philadelphia, cordernning the practice OF
dancing as unchrstian-likes lie would DO ez-
cused, however, from having you understand ina.
ne would advocate such an idle amusement; YET
he saws that our Saviour spoke Of it in ongua &c
of appreciation. 1t is known to all, who have
taken the trouble TO investigate The subJecl' lnat
music and dancing formed a part OF tho ceremonies
of religion, under the law, and as such Christ al
luded to it, in tho parable of the Prodigal Don.
And it is equally evident, that the practice was
then held sacred, and the man that would make a
common use of that ceremony, would as justly
incur the dispIeasure Of God ard the censure Of
good men, the man now wcdd who should use
the ceremonies of religion, as they are practised
under the Gospel, in the plays and amusemen's
Of the day.
ga Subscriber" PROCESSES great zeal, 10 have n en-
teach things just they find them laid down in the
Bible, bu, he certainly forgot that rule, when con-
lending that the opinion of one man (Luiher) is as
good authority as that of a whole judicatory Of the
Church. In that case, he and the Bible are at
issue. The language Of the Bible is, In the null
tude ofcounseors there is safety. "A Subscriber
! thinks that Christ did not overlook dancing as q
sin, and forgot to rebuko it and that it would be
arrogance in his servants, 10 pretend to do better
you understand, tina, he would advocate practice
SO idle dancing, although he does believe, thai
Christ spoke of it, in language of appreciation
He thinks il practice too idle for him TO encourage
yet for the Church 10 condemn it, unchristian n
like, is a matter Of too much importance 10 the
religious world, to pass without censure. Do the
Scriptures say nothing. that upon fair and pro
per construction thereof, would condemn dancing
as it is practiced in these days! "A Subscriber ,
thinks it idle amusement; il so, God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing
Again say unto you, that every idle word tina
men shall speak, they shall give account thereo
} in the day of judgment. AM again, Rejoice, {
young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart chez
thee, in the days of thy youth, and walk in th'
ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes
but know thou that for all these things, God will
. bring thee into judgment.
seek rot to be engaged il religious contro
versy, nor do feel the necessity Of bringing be
fore the religious world, the Importance Of dancing
but would to God that all the world, both religious
and irreligous, would turn from such idle amuse
ments, and place their Affections upon objects NOR

A MISTAKE CORRECTED. The following
anecdote, lately related to public meeting in
Philadelphia, for the advancement of education,
will be interesting to many of our readers
The late excellent DR.. Jonathan Going, some
years ago attended an Association where some
OF TIE brethren were not -burdened with
scriptural information, or with any considerable
love for study; and as might have been expected
they were warm opponents OF written sermons,
insisting on the tar superior advantages of an ex.
temporaneous address. The good Dr's views
did not coincide with theirs, and his arguments
against them were not withheld. After the con-
test was over, Dir. G. was pressed to preach
which he did, and delivered his sermon with
great freedom, without note before him, and
with very marked effect on the audience -
When he came out of the pulpit the brethren
swarmed around him, and said ,t"Wei, brother
Going, what do you say now II this sermon
had been written, you could not have preached il
in this way nor could we all feel as we now do.
"Indeed," said the Doctor, with very quiet bat
arch tone, "and yet, can assure you, that every
word OF this sermon was written some years ago,
and this is the forty.seVeRfh tine have preach.
ed it" The brethren had nothing further to
say. ~
