Messrs- GALES & SEAroS: In a late issue of your

Of feow-citizen and public funcionary, whose abb

a defence in his own behalf.
refer to the statement made in the card of Senior
FRANCIS DAISEsE concerning JOHN Brown of the Anne
rican Legation at COnstanmop charging the latter With
tearing down the fag arms &C. Of the American con-
suate in that city time since.
As the writer of this spent months in Constanti-
nope and when there took pains to ascertain tho
merits of this case he can, without hesitation assert
that Mr. Brown committed any such outrage as Senior
DainGse attributes to him.
The facts Of the matter these Our Consul at Con-
staninople being dce ofabsence to the United States
deputed Dainese to act his Wee until his return
Whilst in the United States the Consul heard such reports
of Dangses character induced him to him from
the post ard appoint another gentleman (Ir. Homes,

the charge daaires at the time, on learning that the
consul had appointed substitute requested Senior
d. give up the archives, &C. of the American consul

Now as Daingse was an 4ustran subject and had been
made amenable the laws of his country by having
been deprived Of the rights and privileges Of acting u s.
consul by the porer that appointed him. Mr. Brown,
the only proper left him, compelled to
appeal to DainGses Legation to make him deliver up
the consular SEALS arms, &C., and the simple truth Of the
whole matter is that in order to effect this important OBJ

And would could recall them
Would had not been so weak
Oh! that one unguarded moment

In my bosom always hid,

Harsh words are like the hail that beats
The heritage to the ground;
Kind words are like the gentle rain,
Which scatters freshness round.
As polished steel receives stain
From drops at random flung;
So does a child, when words profane
Drop from a parents tongue.
The rust eats in, and oft we find
That naught which we can do,
To cleanse the metal or the mind,
The brightness will renew.
