J.-OI tkc GTc«««koro»«t«,l*»trl»t. NEW OBLI-.ASS, La*, f ■ August 13th, If39. S Truly, my dear sir, as you told me, 1 must bo some kin to a comet, for here am in the "crescent city " in the dog days, while but a few days ago I was trudging about in Iowa Territory, more than three hundred miles above SI- /-ou-ts. 1 have not tho least doubt that my movements aro quite as unaccountable to others as they aro to myself! How-ever, I must cease speaking of myself, as neither you nor your readers WOUW be much entertained by a recital of " the scenes that I have past," and endeavor to enlarge upon something else. I remarked that I had been in Iowa, and as this appears tojbe a sort of centre of attraction, upon which all eyes are directed nowadays, as a few years since was thocoso with Illinois, perhaps some particulars respecting this ncu> " para-diae" might not he uninteresting. The Quality of tho land generally throughout the territory, it cannot bo denied, is most excellent, being for the most part prairie, though I think there is land in your county (Guilford) overy way c qusl (if not superior) to it in point of productiveness, and the quality and va-riety of timber. Timber is generally to be found near water courses, and in de-tached parcels or groves throughout the prairies ;—in somo parts of the territory, particularly in the north, good pine tim-ber abounds. But taking tho country as a whole,—or at least that portion of it adapted for farming purposes,—1 should sav there is not sufficient limber for fencing and fires. There is, how-ever, I am told, much coal in various sections which must in after years be in demand. Many farmers arc already en-closing' their fields with ditches and hedges. Emigrant! are pouring in hundred!', and "speculators" aro ' thick as hops." Thn load region, about I)u Buque, in the northern part, although not yet sold by government, is fast filling up by men disposed lo make fortunes as •settlers, and by speculators. Many make, and some lose money by working lor the ore When, however, a good "leader" if found, as the ore is generally very rich, great profit must'ensue. The Seat of Government of the. Ten! lory, as jou are aware, has recently been .permanently located about 40 miles west •f the Mississippi river at Bloomington. The site as chosen is on the Iowa river, and as yet not a house marks tho spot, where/ in a few years perhaps will be found a flourishing city. The name is " loitq City." Iowa river is unfortunate-ly not navigable. Near this young city there is said to be an inexhaustible qoarry of fine marble, of which the capi-tal is to be built; but from what I have heard, I imagino its quality to be but little superior to that found a year or two since in your neighboring county of Stokes, and about which so much noise was for a time made. The health of the territory generally dnring the summer and fall cannot he aaid to be of the host, particularly on and near the water courses ; and upon the low marshy prairies it is doubtless unhealthy at all seasons. I'pon the high, rolling prairies, back from streams of any size, it is said to be healthy enough. All sorts of fevers, and bilious attacks are very prevalent throughout just now, and the people think no more of being shook by the chills (feverand ague) than they do of eating their dinners. Mils, qnltoes are mote nutnorous than flics, ami as hungry and ravenous as wolves. Notwithstanding these things, however. it: i a Gno country—valuable, bn'h in an agricultural and mineral point of view. As to sickness, when tho country be-comes more densely populated, the great upcrabundance of vegetable matter (the decomposition of which is such an enemy to health,) will be in a great degree di-minished, and disease will diminish in a proportionate degree. All new coun-tries, with rich soils, are at first un-healthy. Many slragglirg Indians, of the Sioux tribe principally, arc to be seen through-out the territory, roaming peaceably a-mong the whites upon the same ground where but a very few years since raged the " Black Hawk war." The principal encampment of the Sioux, under Keo-kuck, is on the Dos Moines* river, per. haps GO or 70 miles west of the Missis-sippi. As an illustration of what a vast ex-tent of country receives the benefit of this single river,—the Mississippi,—1 may mention that although I have been ip more than leefAleen hundred miles from its month, it /is navigable eight or "' jjine hundred miles higher, to the Falls of St. Anthony. In all this distance there arc but two obstructions to the navigation .(excepting innumerable snags sawyers, sand-bars &.-C.,) and that only n low water. These are two rapids, of some 6 or Hi miles in length each, the one near (he mouth erf Del Moines | river and the other at Ruck Island, about a hundred miles sboie. Both fir above St. IiOuis. There is mneli to ad-mire in the scenery ol the Mississippi. but so many writers have figured in this field before me, that I cannot couth-trend (!) to follow in their footsteps.— The most wonderful (really) fact is, thai all along tho river, almost from the Falls of St. Anthony to New Orleans, there is hardly anv tolerable site for a town upon which has not been some time or other laid off a magnificent city ! At sumo of these points there are at present to lie seen a few wretched hovels only : at oth-ers, respectable villages. Immense for. tunes have been made by these paper cit-ies, but the time is now past,—people have learnt to be very shy of lithographic cities. PRICKS, ft-.—Corn, at St. Louis, is ican cities. The streets arc generally narrow, but well paved ; and 1 rode half a mile or more yesterday along Bourbon street paved with aiphaltum,—and a most beautiful and smooth road it is.— There arc scvcial small public squares here, and many large and moet elegant buildings—particularly the St. Charles and St. Louis (or City) Exchange Hotels, which are both very ""go and ' costly buildings, supo rbly finished, and the Ut-ter of which contains more apartments thsn the Astor House, in New York.— From what I have heard and seen of New Oilcans, 1 think it possesses more at-tractions for a residence throughout the year than any other city in the Union. I must conclude (his protrsctcd scrawl, as I would not willingly write much s-bout this city aa at present seen, and ea-pecially with my limited knowledge of its labyrinths, manners, custom*, doings, carryings-on, etc., A:c. PEREGRINE. From the .V. Y. Weekly H nig. MEIIEMET AU. This Egyp'ain potentate seems lo be on the high road lo imperial dominion ; and if not arreste I in his career b/ sonu of the great powers, he may yel wear I ho diaib in of Constantino. His success ;>• gains' the Sultan, in almost ever) most meiit, III* *pi* mild des|»oti«in, ami his studied flattery of the passions and na-tional feelings of the Bgyptoioa, have in vested him with a power ov. r their minds thai nets as a charm in the hour of battle. ThCJ look upon him as the manuf dvali-nv. His uniform successes tin ir fatalism construe into the special protection of the Prophet. The total defeat of the Turkish army, the defection of ihe Heel, and the death of the Sultan, arc all pro. pitious for Ihe fortunes of Egypt; and the accounts from that quarter will conlinuc lo lie looked for with a good deal of in-t< rest. Since the Sultan's death, intelligence lias been received I hat the Iman ofSsna, the sovereign of I ho finest and Ihe most flouiishing part of the coast of Soutbi-ri Arabia, after having for six years sue Cessfillly resisted Ihe power of Ihe Vice, roy of Egypt, has suddenly thrown him-self into ihe anus o( his powerful foe. in whose favor he has offered lo renounce his owr. sovereignty, on condition of receiving a pension, and retaining ecclesiastical dignity. Tho Viceroy of Egvpt has consented lo Ihe terms,and sent his officers to receive possession of selling at about 30 cents per bushel— the Country, which is hereafter to he at New Orleans, 02] a 7"i cts. Flow at New Oilcans, Cincinnati and St. I.nwi-, St to 80 : in Iowa at about 8a 50, and rising. (Corn and Potatoes arc plenty and cheap in Iowa, from «hence large quantities of both have been shipped lo ports below.) Hta&(pig lead) has ad-vanced within the past week—felling nl St. Louis when ive left at .15 to 4?, and here (at New Orleans) now, from 4^ to ■">. Il is much used by tin- St. Loots mer. chants as an article of remitanco to the East in payment of their dues, being al-ways a safe cash article, and sometimes affording a handsome per centum. The western waters arc (as usual at this season,) at a low stage. Boats draw-ing three feet water cannot get up to Louisville or Cincinnalti ; and on the Mississippi, boats requiring seven or more feel have considerable difficulty as far down as Ihe mouth of Arkansas, or lower. Small boats now drive a profitable business, and dozens of them arc scra-ping along too, charging high prices for both freight and passage ;—particularly on the Ohio, and upper Mississippi,— (above St. Louik)—and other tributary streams, the Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Cumberland, dec, ccc. Business in New Orleans is very dull, as a matter of course at this season.— There is also much sickness here, and strangers and persons unacclimatcd are running away by hundreds, as I expect lo do in a day or two. Within Ihe last twenty days, it is estimated that five thousand persons have left Ihe city for more healthy regions. However,- even as New Orleans is at present seen one who had never seen a city might probablv be induced to stare somewhat at Ihe rumbling drays, carriages and oni-nibusses, and Ihe array of vessels and steamboats at the landing; and even those who have seen all the other principal cit-ies in the United States, find much to attract attention here,—where almost cv. cry thing is carried on, and the appear. anec of things are so unlike other Amor- ' Or, Prmninct. treated as a part of the territory of MeHo-rnet All. As our readers would doubtless be in-terested in an account of this extraordi-nary man; who is at this moment attract-ing the gaze of all the crowned heads in Europe, for his dating and successful en-multiset— nu have abridged from n for-eign magazine, and ihe i so- llenl work of Stephens on Egypt and Arabia, I In following particulars of the life of the Viceroy of Egypt. Mehemel All, the viceroy of Egypt W.il born in 170!l,ai Cavnla ,ir PI I ,\r. Ili-father was an inferior officer otlbn Turk-ish police, ami di':d poor, b aving Melio-ment at the age of four, without a pias-tre in the world. Ho was taken home hjl.sn tlllgtni wtni was an aga, and educa-ted to horsemanship and the use of anus. All other branches were neglecteel. His uncle being murdered for his wealth Ihe young man was again left deslilme. He lie n pusscd somo yoara in Ihe shop of a tobacco merchant, and here gained some knowledge of Irade, which was af-tciwartls of great advantage to him. In this situation he a quired a small capi lal, and opened a shop for himsejf. He was successful and became Wealthy.— When Napoleon invaded Egypi, Moham-et joined lire Egytain forces against hiie. He distinguished himself hy his bravery, and in the subsequent difficulties between, Ihe Sultau and the Mamelukas, he re-ceived from the viceroy of Egvpl, Me-hemel Kusruff, the rank of General—- As success, however, alwavs creates en-vy among rivals, Ihe car of Kusruff was poisoned by calumnies, ami Mehemot was dismissed from the service. His hold spirit could not brook the indignity. He forthwith joined the Mamelukes, a-gainst whom be had been fighting, and at length compelled the PaahaW, Melieniel Kusruff, lo fly to Damielta, where he took him prisoner. A new Pashaw was appointed bv the Sultan, but was soon put to death by the intrigues and treach-ery of Mehemel All. After various stratagems, Mi hornet accomplished Ins purpose, and in 1808 the Sultan declared him PashaW of Egvpt, appointso in com-pliance with the wishes of the people, lie now announced his determination In rosinr Egypt to it« rank among the > a linns He Attached to his interest th-o-i-entnl tribes ; Improved Ihe discipline oi of liis soldiery ami look everv moise'v 'o strengthen himself in his pnwc.i Tl Sultan h-O Mill j"ll!0IIS Of llilli. 111'! .:-" an on!, i deposing him from his office as governor of EgJpt- But Mehemel Ali resisted Ihe oidt.r, and IIK Sultau was compelled reluctantly to yield. The next step in his csreer was bia massacre of Ihe Mamelukes. He invited ibeir chiefs lo a feast at Cairo, where tbey were assaasinsled, while the body was cut off by a general massacre. He then sent out his armies under the com-mand of bis soos to pursue his conquests ID Asia, in ihe regions on the upper Nile. Mehemel himself wss occupied at borne in the improvement of his military af-fairs. He introduced French officers; huill an arsenal at Cairo, established a military hospital, provided gunpowder manufactories, tec. On the breaking out of the Greek war, the forces of Egypt were put in requisi-tion, and Ibrahim, who figured so promi-nently in that war, is the adopted son ot Mehemel All. The military strength of Egypt now rapidly increased. The Vice-roy allowed Europeans to rank in his ar-my without reference lo creed, and ex-pended large aums of money in military and naval preparations. In 1831, he determined to take posses-sion of Syria, which had been promised to him for his services in tho Greek war ; and in October of that year, he placed his army, b. iwe. n 40,000 and 50,000 strong; under ihe command of Ibrahim. This army advanced into Syria, and in ihe course ol an eventful year, achieved a complete conquest of that province and Opened the way to Constantinople. The Turkish govi riinient was now alarmed. Ii called on Great Britain for aid, but was refused- Tin Russians were ready to assist, hut the Turks feared the result ol siKlh an alliance. A dreadful engage wi'M look place in Asia Minor, between tin: forces of the Sullau and those of I-i. raln in, in wlnBh-thrrlatlcr were viclon-ous. Russian aid was then accepted, and an immonta Russian force was brought into the Turkish dominions.— After various measures of diplomacy, the Sultan vn Ided assent to u treaty whicli gave llirniiiui iho whole of Syria. The issue of the efforts of Russia resulted in ihe formation of a treaty of mutual pro-lection between Russia and Turkey, which was concluded on the 8th July, 1833. This treaty, which is called the treaty of l.'skair Skelessi, placed Turkey in a dependent situation upon Russia In August, 1848, Mehemel Ali an-nounced his determination to declare liniim If independent of ihe Sultan. Eng-land, Franco, Austria and Russia, all I'pposod this declaration ; but this only irritated him,and brought him tocxpress a declaration of his determination to make his power hereditary. As if in defiance of all danger, and in tho midst of threatening difficulties, Me-hemel Ali left Ins subordinate officers to manage diplomacy and set off 00 an ex-ploring expedition to Iho regions of the upper Nile. The account of Ibis singu-lar expedition has recently been given in the public prints. Thai he should un-dertake such a journey at the age of 70 years through a lorrid climato and among a warnke people, is remarkable. He returned from Ihe expedition in February l-isl. His fortunate career since thai pe-riod Is given in the recent intelligence from the Eas\ Xoble Generosity-—The Gettysburg St.tt iiienlioes ,i iiohle act of munificence on the part of William C Preston, the distinguished Whft) Senator Irom South Carolina. At a meeting of an associa-tion of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Iho South pr. psratory to celebrating the Ci pteninal anniversary of Metho-dism, and for Ihe purpose of establishing u fund, the interest of which, a part, is to ho applied to ihe support of superannua-ted ministers, iheir widows ami orphans, and the balance to the support ol Mis-sionaries and the cause of education.— Colonel Preslon, being one of iho audi-ence, rose in the congregation and briefly stated thai he did - nol belong lo the Methodist church, neither did any of his family, nor did he expect they ever would, inn added thai he considered himself un-tail (the act not staling where ihe muz-zle should be plsccd.) One of the city officers, perceiving this dog with his muzzle at the wrong end, took pos-session of the dog, and brought it to the town-hall. Its maater, being well known, was summoned and appeared. He proved tbst be had complied with tbe act, in having fixed a muzzle on Ibe dog, and farther, the city officer having Uken the niuu of the dog's tall, hejinsisted that he should be fined five dollars for so do-ing.— Cop*.

CLAY IN NEW YOKK. From Ihe .V«SJ Kof* Caurierand F.n<iuirer, of August ii. The reception, yesterday, of the dis-tinguished Western Statesman, was more enthusiastic lhafj his wannest friend could have anticipated. If wo measure il by his distinguished deserts, or by the gratitude and affection of the people, it was all that even lliose deserts could have demanded, and all that the heartiest affection and the sinecrcst gratitude could have desired. Never have wc witnessed such a spontaneous and irrepressible out-biir- l of popular feeling. Never before Have wo seen a whole community rising up ond pressing forward lo pay an un bought tribute to a citizen who has no claim upon them but thai of eminent ser-vjnc no official position to summon of-ficial parade and pageantry—no place and patronage for the re-waul of a voluntary homage. The memory of this eventful occasion must ever be cherished by Mr. CI.A"Y, ns among the proudest recollec-tions of his life. Come what may, lie can never forget the generous and ciithu siaslic welcome whicli he received yes-terday from the citizens of this vast mo Iropoiis. Wc do not believe thai the an-nals of tho world record a purely civic triumph, combining so much that was gratifylng^nd honorable lo its object, with so much that was disinterested, sin-ceac and heartfelt in the multitude as-sembled to swell and share its display. Mr.CLAT landed at between three and four in tho afternoon at the foot of Ham-mond street, Greenwick, from tho steam-boat James Madison, amended by a large number of citizens, collected fiom vari-oug points along the river, and a parly which had left New York the day previ-ous to visit him at Ncwburg. An Im-mense multitude was assembled to grcel Ins arrival, and as he slept on the wharf the air was rent with acclamations fiom .i myriad of voices. The day was most propitious. A heavy fall of rain for two or throe days previous had laid the dusl ami cooled the aliiosphere, and .every-thing in nature was most favorable to the great occasion. At Greenwich the pro-cession was formed, headed by HOIIKIIT C. WnxIOBEas Marshal in Chief, aided by Assistant Marshals. ' Following the Marshals came a numer-ous cavalcade of citizens; many bun-dreds of them, chiefly young men, col-looted by a spontaneous impulse lo ren-der honor to the guest of the People— A band of music preceded the open barouch nf Mr. CLAY, who was accompa-nied by Mr. Sr.i.ni:N. Committees from Iho liver Counties, the two Whig Gener-al Committees of the elfy and county, and a vast concourse of citizens, follow-ed in carriages- Ofthese the numbercan-not be oaliinslcd. Every thing in tho city, in the shape of a four-wbcclcd vehi-cle, was in attendance, and so great was Ihe crowd and pressure that the car-riages were frequently driven three and fourabreaat. In Greenwich, at the start-ing place, there were more tban an hun-dred carts drawn up together to fall into the procession—wilh tens of thousands of citizens on foot; and when the head of tho procession resehed the Astor House, tbe rear bad not yet formed in line. Through Iho whole extent from tbe point of landing, through Hudson street, up Fourteenth street to Union Plsce, and down Broadway to Ihe Park, a distance of nearly three miles, it wss st one snd the same lime adense moving mass of horsemen, carriages, car line n and citizens. Every window on either side of tho .way was occupied, and acclain- S'ions from every house, and the waving of handkerchiefs, and cordial salutations greeted tho illustrious slatesmsn as ho passed. At Constitution Hall, at Ma-sonic Hall, and at every place of public resort and amusement, flags were display-ed, and bands of music were stationed, to hail his approach. On reaching the Astor House, the Ca-valcade, under the direction of the mar-shals, wheeled round through Chatham street to Ihe upper entrance of the Park. At this point the progress of Mr. CLAV was for some minutes arrested by tho dense pressure nf the assembled multi-tude— and long, loud and heavy cheers from the lens of thousands who throng-ed the Park, Ihe windows and roofs of the surrounding edifices, the adjacent streets, and the large open space aUlho junction of Chatham str. el il Broadway, thundered out Ihe mighty welcome of a grateful People to the gallant, generous, warm-hearted and noble-minded citizen whose life has been devoted to their (er-ic! Following tbo lead of iho Chief Mar-shal, Mr. CLAY proceeded to the Park, where he was formally welcomed to New York by Mr. DTDLEY SILDKN, in behalf of the citizens assembled. The con-course was ao vast, thst comparatively few were enabled to hear Ihe address of Mr. SKLDEX, or Ibe reply of Mr. CLAY. The latlor gentleman spoke from the o-pen barouch, and interrupted perpetual-ly by the cheers of the People. As ho finished, Ibe cavalcade in part again formed, and escorted Mr. CLAY to his lodginga at the Astor House, where he waa again received wilh new enthusiasm by tho atill renewing and increasing mul-titude. There are many points in this recep-tion of .Mr. CLAY which distinguished it frotv any other similar r.ception lliat ev-er fell under our observation. It was purely civic. .There was no military pa-rude to draw the crowd. Tiierc was no splendid display, lo excite idle curiosity, and attiact the public gaze. Every thing was unostentatious, republican, consis-tent with the charactci of the man whom the People had assembled lo honor, be-coming llm character of the institutions under which wc live, and not unworthy the descendants of those great un ii by whose valor and wisdom those Institu-tion! were established. And again, it was a purely popular reception. It was not u geil-up, official pageant) where Iho People exhibit tlnjj gratitude by an in. vilation of tho Cmamion Council, and dis-play a certain amount of enthusiasm duly provided for by the resolves and ordin-ances of the Corporation. Il was no ac-knowledgment of favors had ami received —a debit of gratitude, lo bo adjusted by a per contra of gun.powder and acolsma- (ions. Il was no homage of office to of-fice— of turtle-padded aldermen, made great men by election, and making mer-ry at the expense of the People—extend-ing a heartless and unmeaning congratu-lation to an abstraction and not lo a man —to a station and not to an individual— but it was Iho voluntary, iinbougbt, un-bidden movement of ihe People, to greet the arrival among them of one who has ever been eminently the man of tbe People! It would be easy to accumulate super-latives in the description of this great popular ovation) hut wo forbear. For lliose who witnessed it, no Jescriplion is necessary. To lliose at a distance, no language can convey an adequate idea of the boundless enthusiasm, the eager par-ticipation of our citizens in iho welcome of their illustrious guest. And how rich-ly ho merits a I their hands all Iho honors (hat they can bestow ! Hoes long public service entitle a man to popular gratitude? Il is now nearly half a century since Hen-ry Clay has shared in Ibe councils of Ins country. Hues thrilling, subduing, and persuading eloquence win upon,popular admiration!—Let tho living man be narni A in this country, or in any country, who may take the palm of eloquence from Henry Clay. Does the eh ar-sigbt-cd sagacity of the statesman—promptness n decision nnd firmness of action—gain for him tho popular confident Point ns to the statesman, whose career is made illustrious by such a se'rics of civic tn-iiinph, as will per[»etuate' ill after ages, ih" r- iii.eni lb mi Clay.
