A late Bi itibh publication, speaking of the re
f rptioti of the Ht iu'sh embassy under Sir Harford
n: the ouit of Hci bia, remarks :
One necessary preparuiion was, that the mis
sion should be arrayed in green slippers and red
Motkius. I he narrow streets, as they passed
through, were crowded with spectators. On en
tering the royal hall, they were led between files
of troops, disciplined in the European manner,
who performed the platoon exercise as they pans
rd. At the end of the hall was a small and mean
door which beinjj opened, introduced them into
a ' irk and narrow passage, terminating in an
otui i door worse than any English stable. Tbis
uMiered themr however into a very handsome
court, adorned with canals and fountains border,
ed with trees, at the end of which sat the king,
richly dressed. The presents were then deliv
ered to the prime minister, and the ambassador
be,;un a speech in English, the sound of which
seemed a good deal to startle the monarch ; but
on a translation being given, his surprise was
changed into pleasure. He then inquired for the
kini; of England, and whether he was son o him
who had reigned at the time of the last embassy.
On being assured that the very same king was
now reigning, he was heard to remark, that in
thi. point also the French had told lies ; for it
f terns they had circulated a report of the king of
Logland s death- I he Shah was about 45 ; and
U-neath a large black beard and niustachocs,
lathei sn agreeable countenance appeared. He
entered into a pretty long conversation on lite
rary subjects, being himself a professed patron
ol learning
4 After this interview, the ambassador began
to treat with the ministers relative to the terms
of the proposed treaty. 1 his. negotiation was
oncucted in a manner vcrv remote from Euro
pean idens of decorum. -The discussions were
sometimes accompanied with violent contention,
tnd at other lirru s were interrupted by loud
..i.vursivs. of laughter. Once, amid the most
prions ddiberutionr the " 'minister broke 6IT by
; sking the ambassador to tell the history of the

Kl.F.CTlOX OK ..LECTORS AND RF.I'RESEStA.
TIVKS.
On motion of Mr. AWM, of N. C. the House
proceeded to the consideration of the resolution
proposing an amendment to the constitution of
the United States, so as to establish an uniform
mode of electing, by districts, Electors of I'rcsi
dent and Vice President of the United Statee, and
Representatives in Congress.
And the question having been stated on the
passage of said resolution, this being its final
reading in this House
Mr. Cro$7oi N. 'Vork, presented to the House
the considerations which confirmed the impress
ions w hich he had, from the first, entertained, in
favor of this measure.
Mr. Nose, of Ohio, assigned at length the rea
sons which influenced him ;o oppose this resolu
tion, first, because, in one part of it, respecting
Representatives, it was wholly unnecessary, and
in the other part, respecting Electors, inexpedient-Mr.
Strong, of N. York, next spoke, in opposi
tion to the resolution, on the grounds generally
taken in opposiaontoitf and with the additional----reasons
that the proposed amendment goes to af
fect the powers of the people, and should there- -fore
be approached with more hesitation than if it
related to any of the powers of the government,"
and should not Wo touched at all unless under an
indispensable necessity. .
M r. Brevard, of S. Carolina delivered his ten
timents, in opposition to the resolution, on the -general
ground that a sufficient necessity had not .
been shewn to justify a material alteration of to
important a feature of the constitution.
Mr. Randolph, of Va. expressed the grounds of
his hostility to this resolution, which he consid
ered as proposing a pernicious innovation on the
constitution under the influence of fanciful and
theoretical notions, under circumstances of the
House and of the country not favorable to a cor
rect decision.
Mr. Storre, of N. York, opposed the resolution
on principle, and on the ground of the impolicy of
lightly invading the present provisions of the con-
slitution.
Mr. Smith, of Md. defended the resolution, on
the ground of the necessity of some change in the
constitution, (he did not pronounce this the only,
change which could be made, or the best, though
he inclined to think it the best,) to guard against
the effects of intrigue on elections.
Mr. Whitman, of Mass. strongly supported Jhe
resolution on its known merits, and on the ground
that the amendment which it proposes to the con-
stitution involves- no innovation but to restore io-
that instrument a feature in regard to Electors,
which it-originally posscssed,hich hadlieen ta
ken from it by construction." The delivery of
Mr- W's speech occupied nearl- an hour. - '
