Nor do I see any plan for the permanent peace and security of the Nes'trians, which is not beset with great, l if not insurnountable difficulies. in the present exceedingly jealous state of the Turkish government, and at this remore point where They have so little power. The threatened war hetween Persia, should it take place-as now seems' not timprobable--would only occasiuona truce by 'nstbdrawing the army for self defence. Such a war nonld be any thing but favor aule to our efibrts either hero or at Oroom ish. But the Lord may overrule it to has ten the drying up of the great river Euph rates, that the way of the kings of the East may be prepared. Blessed truth. that THE LoRD RtEIJGNET't. In tiis hour of .extre-nity to the Nesto rians, let none who have an interest with the King of kings fail to present the most importunate petitious in their behalf. In our own deep trials for that people, let us have the consobation that.we have .been instrunentaI an some measure.ofawaken ing an interest and a spirit of prayer for them. In a letter, dated July 28th. Dr. Grant considers the complete subjucatnou of the Nestorians as inevitable. -"The work of destruction is still goisrg forward. and I have no hope of its ceasing till tiis brave people are finally crushed, and their inde pendence is gone, What will be the end of these things no one can tell." IYISCELIA iEOUS. Droll Proceedings-A woman in the Militia.-We are not aware that the late law adopited by our Legislature for the or ganization ofour miliiia ought to be applied equally and rigorously to women as to tnut. Tha following anecdote, which is related to us as a positive fact, may throw soite light upon the subject. At any rate. it is too good to be lost, and deserves to be resened from obvilion.- Here it is. Mladame Vincent, a lady belonging to the wine clad hills of Ia belle France. and m .present one of the pythoneses of fashion to it: u iiiliner. residing in Bourbon at ear St Peters, some time ago received a notice to attetd a niuster in the company that clained ter for a member, on the 8th July list. We are particular as to dates, places unid names, as there are essential circutustances to establish the veracity of the ioccurence. ladame Vincent did not appear on the parade ground as rrlay well ne sitpro-ed, and when her name wascall. ed upon the roll she was marked among the deiirrliiert.. A liow days afterward, follow ed the regular notice to pay the fine incur ed, or to declare her reasons for doing so. To thi< she exitited no Creater ttentton than the original order, trusting, dourbifess, to the immunities conferred upon her by osr pettwouls. Judgement b) defnult was tier.fort taken against her,and then issued the execution for the seizure of her prop. *rty, right- and credits for the paym-nt of ;he flue nff ive do lars and cotas. The same .letee and the same ittlference eontin ued to le manifested throughour all these 'egal warnings and proceedings by the fair dellingment. A n. finally, it bein g tnanifes red that she condemed all these different pruccsses of the reads law. which followed with grave suecession upon each other, rising in amount frost live to ten-and from ten ii twenty dolbelrs, the officer charged with the exces ion of the writ of seizure, w ishtitg to terminate the affair, waited on ladame Vteent, when the following a musing dialogue took place : Ortcer.-MAadaie, will you.pay the a tmon...i am ht dlirecteed toe exact Irom y. for nott appearinig at the reviewv as requsired by law.
