Communications. jforeign. TOR THE FREE TRESS. 2Ir. Howard: As a just tribute '-of respect to the Rev. Rob't T. Daniel, I beg leave through your paper, to take some notice of a Sermon, delivered on a funeral oc casion, at the house of the late Mr. James Otierstreet, deceased. I think it would be injustice to Mr. Daniel to withhold this public testimonial of ap probation "render unto Ctesar the things that are Caesar's." It will be recollected, that in this neighborhood he joined the Masonic fra ternity; that in consequence thereof, he incurred the censure of many of his Baptist brethren. laving returned in to the same neighborhood to perform the last sad and solemn duty of consign ing to the dast, the remains of a brother Mason, he selected as a text, that very appropriate passage of scripture, "And God said, let there be light; and there was light." To remove from the minds of his Baptist brethren and others, that prejudice and rancor, which many had imbibed, he took a rapid glance at the origin of Masonry and its benevolent design; he gave an explanation of the many Masonic emblems and figures, contrasted them with the figures that abound in scripture; he spoke of its be nefits, in (secretly and silently) drying up the tears of helpless widows and or phans, and causing them to ''light up a smile in the aspect of woe." His views were such as every unprejudiced mind aiust approve. In enumerating its many advantages, its designs and benefits, the excellence and glory of its moral pre cepts, I was fearful, lest some might suppose it was intended to supercede the Christian religion; but in the sequel of his discourse, his eloquent and pathe tic address to unregenerate Masons, re moved all doubts. He told them, they possessed much light and knowledge; that the diffusion of knowledge, of bro therly love, and of charity, (distinguish ing ch?riteristics of their order,) were txcely '.i of their kind; but the salva-t'y-fot their own souls was of infinite ' ".jnsequence, and to secure thif, the ato ning blood of Jesus Christ, should be their only dependence. I consider Mr. Daniel, a divine alike distinguished for his pious fervor, his acutencss of mind, and deep scripture research. On this occasion the prevail ing sentiment was, that he surpassed himself. I myself was transported, and regret exceedingly, that absence from home on business prevented my return-: ing immediately to delineate his dis course (difficult at best) but after a lapse of two or three weeks, I acknowledge my total inability to do it any thing like justice.

The mountainous districts of Vir ginia are said to be very sickly. Russia. The principal article the late papers contain, is the offi cial report made to the Emperor of Russia on the secret societies and alleged conspiracies said to have occasioned the rebellious explosion which signalized his-ac cession to the throne. It is very long agreeably to the report of the Ivommissioners, the ramifica tions of the conspiracy extended throughout the empire, in almost every province ot which organized bands of reformers existed. The professed object was the estab lishment of a representative gov ernment. Horse racing appears to be ear ned on in Russia upon an exten sive scale 67 worsts (43 miles) at a single heat. The European papers mention a race recently run on the Banks of the Don. in which a horse belonging to Count Platoff performed that distance in two hours and five minutes ma ny fine horses that started in the race, died before they could reach the goal, or immediately after their penormance. Turkey. It was reported that Constantinople was in flames, on the 24th June; but the Paris E toile, of the 18th July, questions the truth of the report. The Janissaries, in several of the 1 urkish towns, had refused to submit to the decree for the abol ishment' of their order, and the most serious apprehensions were entertained that great difficulty snnd mnnjind the streets of La- raccas and La Guayra were daily patrolled to add to his army.
