occupy his pew In that church Holding recent for IT,
Capt last Sabbath took his seat and the priest stated
that he would not until he left the church. Some
excitement ensued, and Capt r. prevailed upon

priest again refused to proceed. Finally Capt. r. re-
tired and mass was said. II Is generally understood

nPENIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-
nj of the United Statcs.--The undersigned

\ nj of the United States.--The undersigned
having just published an octave edition Of the
official decisions Of the Attorneys General of the
United Sq1es, expounding the Constitution, sub
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes and giving construction to the public
laws Of the country, in five volumes, averaging
$50 pages each, comprising all the decisions ol
that character mnde since the adoption of the
federal constitution, and prior to the 4th day oi
July, 1851 and 40 be continued up to the present
time, with synoptical notes and copious indices,
he respectfully announces his readiness TO answer
orders for the work, and to forward the same by
express, or otherwise, 10 any part OF the United
States.
Being the productions of distinguished iursts
| ard civilians fully authorized TO decide the vari-
| ois questions of civil, common, international,
| constitutional, commercial, and municipal law,
Thich have arisen in the course Of the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do, upon nearly every subject of civil poity and
Jurisdiction, il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance TO the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles Of the federal gov
ernment and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties and, in many yinstances, the
compensation Of its civil and military officers
The subjects OF national sovereignty, neutrality.
exiradilion, &C., are therein thoroughly discussed,
and our revenue laws, land laws, patent laws
pension laws, &c, commented upon and ex-
planned. IL Is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consuls, governors Of States, district
attorneys, marshals collectors of customs, sur
veyors Of ports naval officers, receivers Of public
moneys, registers of land Offices, Indian agents
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes valuable
QUESTION to their Libraries. Ego
The editions put up in the style of Howard's
Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume. Trf
Librarians OF States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives in Congress,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject. fai1'nie9.g y
