The Courier dc Constantinople of the I5th
of September last, under the head of '.MisceI-
laneous News" publishes paragraph, of
which a friend has obligingly furnished us the
original and the following translation
"on Friday his Majesty the Sultan went to say
his prayers in the mosque of Beckiktach. On Fri
day, the 9th of September. his Majesty the Sultan.
having gone through his devotions returned to the
Arsenal Library, where he examined a collection
of various articles brought back from America, by
EmIN EFFENDI, on the occasion Of his late voyage
to the United States, and consisting of about two
hundred volumes of historical and scientific works;
one hundred and fifty maritime and other charts;
some models of cannon, gun-ca rriagee, nuskets.
and pistols all fit for land or service, comples
collection of nautcal and mathematical instruments
together with models of chips, machines &c. His
Imperial Majesty examined with much attention
the beauty and the finish of this collection. and
appeared to DO exceedingly we'll satisfied with
them.
'All these objects are made to perfection, and
1t could not be otherwise forit will be remembered
that President FILLMORE gave order, that when
EaiN EFFENDr visited the arsenals and other es-
adjustments Of the United States, every thing
should be placed at the disposal of this young Off
Ger winch he should point out being service-
able to the mission with which he was charged"

terms very complimentary to our Government

For our own part, We are not disposed to
find fault with the action of the Senate in THIS
matter. We do not see that any necessity
existed for either Of the resolutions that has
formed the subject Of discussion while i is
plain, from KossUTH's words, that had neither
been introduced, he would have been saved
some distress, and not little embarrassment.
All that the last Congress contemplated has
been done, and done munifcenty; and
there is nothing in its annals, or in the pro
ceedings of the Executive, that can give rise
10 the extravagant expectations concerning fur

own strength, and Of its true relationship 10

not to be hemmed in with petty dgnities.

much mistaken kossUTH's intellect and ante

Believing that he is, in deed and in truth, at one

card the poisoned whisperings of toadies, not
less than to restrain if necessary the promptings
of ambition. 1t should be ugh for him to
know that the body through whose instrument

to prove awanting in the lighter duties of hos
