the middle of this court is another fountain, with a grove on each side. Damascus, like other Mussulman towns, has no square or public place M the provisions as well as merchandise are soid in snopi placed on both sides ol the streets These markets, which are alicd bazars, ov zoks are very abundantly furnished ; some warenouses present large assoftmentsof the different arti Cles fcomme ce. What a contrast with the poverty & insignificance of the shops of Cairo, Fez Sc other places where the jTx rcnant appears to soil with regret the Effects which he wishes to tet rid of. The shops of Damascus are, as it Were, encumbered with merchandize particularly the silk warehouses, which are very numerous, and contain immense Stores. There may be found the fine cloths of India and Persia ; but the greatest part of the cloths are manufactured on the spot. These articles are in such gn at abundance, that there arc several streets of warehouses filled with them from one end to the other. There are reckoned more than four thousand manufacturers of silk and cotton stuffs at Damascus ; but thev do not manufacture any lumens indeed no flax cultivated in the country. The bazars are in general covered With wooden rirandahs, which have windows open in the upper part They have erected a handsome one of these buildings in font of the seraya. I perceived here the shop of an Arabian clockmaker, Who was at work upon a timepiece. u I believe that next to the w arehouses of silks and cottons, the shops of the saddlers are the most numerous and occupv the second eminence in the city. I remarked a great quantity of them in some of which are articles of superior Workmanship. These two branches of commerce are carried on to a great extent herebecause Turkey, Egypt, Africa an 1 Arabia consume the silks ; and ti c articles of leather are bought up by the A ibs that people the vast deserts in the Vicinity as far as Bagdad Medina, and who have no market at winch they can buy in preference to Damascus. The armourers form also one of the principle bodies of merchants, d though he celebrated manufacture of amascene sabres no longer exists ; those that are now m ule here are not of superior temper to those of Turkey Common knives are also made here. The sabres of the am ient manufactory pass from hand to hand, ane ard esteemed precious. n Soap boilers, smiths and shoemakers occupy a great number of streets T ere is but one glass manufactory, ind produces oniy coarse green glass A circumatance whk proves t te immense aciivi tv of t e commerce of this place, is the multitude of carpenters employed the whole vcar round in making cases in which to pack t c productions of the soil and of the industry of the inhabitants. L t the reader imagine how many of these cases, formed of rough hoards nailed together a single shop is able to furbish during a year ; then conceive a large quarter of th city to be occupied bv these shops, and he will be able to formatoier ible correct idea of the enormous number of them constructed in that sp tceof time, as well as what must be the immense amount of the productions of nature and art. exported from this rich Country ; independent of the articles Which do not require to be put into cases. u The crowd which fids the bazars forms a singular contrast wit i the solitu le of the other stre :ts of the city where there do not appear to be either warehouses or workshops. In ill the bazars there are small ovens, where they a f contiuu dlv baking cakes a id various k; ids of pastry. The barbers' shops csta i ished near the bazars are ornament ! with arabesque paintings, large or s"t dl looking glasses, gilt inscriptions, See. with a tew to draw custom T ier a also coffee houses ft! led with people a? ill houn ol the day, lor nin an assemblage of whites blacks n u'l tttoet and c er?

They profess to be the only true h lowers oi Jesus Christ) and his gospe and are in a special manner called of Go to o into the world to do, and that continualiy, his will ; for which purpose thej have forsaken their houses and lands relatives and friends, and all this world's enoymcnts, and after the manner of the apostles are travelling from place to piace doing good to the children of men They have a profit or ieader among them, who occasionally preaches, ana most of them exhort in the streets and ways as they pass by. They seem all devotion and humility and are continually engaged in the service of C hrist ; holding forth the power of his holy spirit, as communicated unto them, savin" that the millenium is near at hand and that the lost tribe of udah is now begiimuig to be gathered in ; and the way is list opening when the four quarters of the

world will be gathered into one foldyff

such as will receive the true spirit oi foith ; not the faith which is received by chi istians of the present day, but such as is accompanied with hoi) tire They have no abiding place in view, but travel as the Lord may direct. They say the people of the world are of the devil, for they cannot serve the Lord Sc be Christ's. They ask no charity, move very slow, with a cart yoke of oxen and one horse and sav the Lord will provide for tlm. for where they go, there he is. Their dress is very singular, long beards Afce caps, and boar skins tied around them. The writer believes them a set of deluded enthusiasts. INFAMOUS. A vouth of about 20 years " a feeble and unprotected stranger' alone and on foot was lately apprehended at Canton, on. for travelling on Sunday. 11 was detained all day, carried by force three or four miles to court, tried for a breach of law, and fined one dollar and sixty seven cents which, together with the costs amounted to more money than he had in his possession. The magistrate took away all his money excepting one small piece of coin had suffered him to depart (we presume without a discharge) and kindly forbore to snip him of his clothrs. U shameful transaction rasts a stigma upon the religion which the laws were enacted to protect and excite the general indignation of society against the perpetrators.
