Boston, was the Hon. Edward Everett. Mayor Lis.
coin. presided, and welcomed the strangers to the

Mr. MAYOR: have much pleasure in responding TO
your call, though have so lately rendered my re-
spectful greeting distinguished guest on anoh
er occasitn Of similar though more private charac-
ter that feel as if the privilege ought at thus time TO
have devolyed on some other person. II is nearly
eight years Sir since hac the pleasure OF meeting
company like this, 10 do honor to an officer Of the
Turkish navy, though Of rank below that OF our
honored guest, who was cent by his Government 70
this country on tour OF observation. Iha' sociai
meeting took place in the hall where we are now as
sembled; some Of the present company were ga. d,
cred around the social board one mejestlc form and
noble conference was present which we shall never
look upon again this side eternity. On that occs-
son ST. expIe ssed the hope that the welcome then
extended 20 the agent of the Ottoman Government
might prove the commencement OF permanent re-
lation Of good Offices mutually exchanged" re-
ice to witness in the Mission OF our honored guest
fulfllneLt of tha. aspiration.

for the insinuatoDs, which have been lndutrlously

The preserce Of our distinguished guests here on
the soil of that world not known TO the rest OF
markind TO be in existence when his warke ancestors
first established themselves in Europe, reminds me OF
pleasing incident which took place about sixty yaars
ago under the American flag, and ii the waters Of
CoIstsItnope. About the year lSJ2, an American

the coast Of Africa. She commanded by the gall

decanters Of water were placed upon the table from
the four quarters Of the globe; some Of the cssks
filed in America and Africa being still full, and toe
friga.s riding at anchor between Asia and Europe.
This incident, a. unique IN the history OF the world
as was plea,rg IN i;sei, attracted so much notice IN
the 6ipt matte circle al Constsntnople that the lady
