Sfftg-vlar Tneltement to Marriage, ? new Dey of Algfers ha? adopted an ' admirable mode, novel fcnd ? somewhat entrao .\iary, for 'fcrriedyipg, the effects of the flag tie jiow ravaging that fine country. He has calculated, with All -that jgravitv for which mussulmen, art remarkable, that disease, and death Iran only be opposed by increasing; jbdptilarion in an eqpal ratio? by Whicn, evil effects wijl be ballanced, in the/end. receive no Accordingly he has or atl' bachelors over the age of iQ to be conducted . to the public -Miiare., and thed and _ there to be i bastinadoed until they acquire a re fUh. for matrimony. This is. a sin gulor tax on bachelors j and if the regimen is daily repeated we take k for, granted thai all die old maids \a the regerfcy will shortly be sup plied with hus&ands. As this may be considered as pec ies of conscript tion perfectly constitutional in Tur key, and if a man has no soft or lender passions, and is, iri nd hiln ' ner, a disciple of Ovid, Johantles, Secundes or Petrafch, the devil's in it if*/ good bastinadoing will hot ffrOuse feelings erf tomc kind. It is, however, ^ strange to contemplate \he adoption of&w measures in a government whul custom is the cdmmon law; tntd where no inno vation is permitted. It is well known that Polygamy* which is permitted by the mOssulnian code, is, by n d means, favdrablfc to popu lation ^ but the earl/' marriages are fikeyrise a powerful obstacle. It is ho,l|icommonoccutrencc for a boy bf fourteen and a girl of twelve years maraving among Mahometans. I recollect perfectly well an old Turk Called Pfraud* who waa in the ha ' bit df furnishing the Amerioan" ves ' ads with provision*, &c. Pfraud, ipoke English, perfectly well, and when he gut on the deck of an American <H)p he felt all hit veneration foir the cod* of Maho met dwindle away, and he drank Wine and titartdy in copious 1 liba tions, the alcoran to the contrary hotwi . his me Tfcteidc Pfiraud, in one of XM m was >y of 1 6, pans k pr ? tead, in tMBHarrow with randthw waathe ttrst focession I h*t ' ever ? country. Two ? their heads Arabic dish) d and cever Ikerchiefs i two ? t large square umwm ning brides' for a present. seated on a and long neck vaftoua dt> loff could not get a peep at her ?a few winci instruments in the shape of flagelets,' together with tfdftlf tant bourific, constituted a wretched band of fflifeu: 5 a mot toy a&sefTl bta^e of boys, camel drivers* &c. filled u^> the procession, ' wiich within wenC rrV thr house- of the bridegroom ; and the whole night the firing of muskets noisy ro vels of guests displayed the sum and measure of a Turkish marriage. Turkish girls who are engaged in marriage, are generally kept _cldse> and are fattened for the pur* pose, corpulency being considered a mark of beauty ; ana for this pur pose they are fed with nutritious - food* and quantities of oil. The silver cinctures that they wear on their ancles are filled gradually, by increasing in flesh, and they are not frequently reported fit to marry, ! as we would pronounce a fat sheep fit for slaughter. They stain the palms' of their hands and nails with the juice of an herb called henna, which produces a brown or dingy tint, they likewise color their eye-, brows and the inside oif their eyelids with lead or ore. Thus corpulent and colored, it may be questionable whether the bastinadoing, ordered by the dey of Algiers, might not be hecessary to .enforce an attach ment that personal attractions, could ' they be seen, would fail to produfce. 31.
