FROM THE TANKER.
The National Intelligencer contains
the first number of a series of letters
addressed to Henry Clay, Esq. and first
published in the Richmond Enquirer:
they commence with the following ques
tion;—“Would the United States moat
promote the cause of freedom by indi
rectly countenancing the patriots, or
by openly recognizing and aiding the
provinces of the Southern Continent,
as independent nations?” The letters
themselves purport to answer the ques
tion, by embracing the latter alterna
tive, and recommends the open recog
nition of tne revolutionary governments.
The writer takes iybr granted, that the
people of the States, will in
some Way, aid the cause of the revolu
tion; ainhhat the etfly subject for deli
beration is, whether such assistance is
to be afforded openly and avowedly by
the national government, or secretly and
coliusively by individual enterprize.
No man can be at a loss which of these
alternatives to embrace: we should do a
hundred times better by an open recog
nition of and active alliance W'ith the
revolutionary governments, than by the
.predatory and ephemeral expeditions
which are coliusively fitted out from
some of our sea-ports; and what is of far
more import:t*ce in thenpinion of an hon
ourable and upright politician, such o
pen and avowed conduct would be more
creditable to our national reputation, than
an unfaithful, dishonest, heartless eva
sion of our duty, by winking at secret
acts of hostility from our citizens to
wards governments with whom we have
actual relations of amity. Between
such an alternative we conceive no hon
est. man can hesitate; on the contrary,
we think nothing could excuse the Ame
rican nation in suffering, by collusion, a
hostility in the citizens incompatible with
the good faith of the government. The
faith of a repuldicshould be,above sus
picion; its conduct should be as exem
plary for the purity of the motives which
influence it towards other governments,
as for its regard for the just liberties and
legal rights of its own citizens.
But the writer referred to, seems to
overlook a question which naturally pre
cedes those he has discussed, and which
we view asoneofimmenselygreater mag
nitude, viz. whether the United States
ahaif take any part whatever in the dis
pute between the Spanish government
and its colonies? and for reasons some
flf wind, we shall proceed to develope, wc.
do not hesitate to answer decidedly ami
emphatically, no! Let the American go
vernment take no part whatever in this
dispute, and let them punish With me
utmost rigour, those who violate by a frau
dulent and secret assistance, both the su
premacy ot the Jaws and the -obligations
of an honest neutrality.
We would not be thought to survey
with a cold indifferent eye, the noblest
spectacle of the moral universe, an op
Eressed people struggling for the esta
lishment of their natural rights. When
ever, in any country, this scene is pre
sented to our yiew, we cannot survey it
without feelings -of the deepest sensibili
ty, or without the most heartfelt wishes'
for the people’s success: hut no sensibi
lities ot tlie heart, no calculations «f po
licy should sanction the dishonourable,
infamous violation of our good faith by
collusive and secret assltance; and an 1
open-ami avowed recognition and support
would net only be extremely impolitic for
the interests of this country, but would
not fail to # ruin the cause it should be
meant to advance, and to establish and'
rivetalmqstindissolubly on our ne wallies’
-the chains of legitimate despotism.
The question presents an alternative,
the selection of which, in one case, pro
bably involves very little hazard to the
people of the United States; but in the
other, is, in the language of the writer,
‘‘the most important and interesting sub
ject presented to the people of this coun
try since flic declaration of the 4th July,.
1776.” And though we consider our
government cannot hesitate both to pre-’
serve the patriots of South America from
destruction by retaining our neutrality,
and our own honour from a stain by re
garding the obligation which such neutral
ity imposes, yet we think the subject de
serves the serious consideration of the
American people. It comes upon us
with an imposing solemnity at the pre
sent period, both because ingenious and
intelligent essay's on the question are
presented to the nation, through what is
usually thought an official channel of the
government; and because an accredited
rumour has recently represented ounna
tional authorities as sending commission-,
ers to the Sooth American provinces to ;
ascet tain their existing circumstances at
least, if not to establish between them
and us a formal communication.
But in deciding in favour of a strict and
impartial neutrality, we have paid little
regard to the controverted point, whether
the colonists of South America have or
have not sufficient intelligence for a free
system of government, it is sufficient for
for us to know they desire it, to wish them
success; for if they are really so ignor
ant as to be incapable of appreciating
the value of liberty, we know of no ar
gument «o strong for the necessity of
their regeneration. A free government
lathe fountain of intelligence; and a peo
ple who have once established their right
to decide on the form and-pot icy of their
government, will an certainly multiply
the seminaries of intelligence, a* they will
their military resources. They are the
essential principles of their existence;
the atmosphere in they move;„the
light which imparts at the same
vital principle of their preservation, aim
throws on the horizon around them, the
beautiful colouring which makes that pre
servation a benefit.
Nor are we convinced that such assist
ance should not be rendered, from the
sophistical proposition, t! ft such im
mense countries are able to effect their
own emancipation if they have intelli
gence enough to value it; and if they have
not, that they do not deserve our assist
ance We but too well recollect what
we owe to the active assistance of other
nations in effecting our own independ
ence, to consider such foreign aid an evi
dence either of the incapacity to enjoy
freedom, or of the ignorance which rejects
it. The authority and infinence of an
established despotism has too formidable
an advantage over the distracted and tu
multuous efforts of an unorganized popu
lace, to render extrinsic aid either un
uecesrary to a people almost unaniipous,
or unimportant to one immovably deter
mined. While, therefore, all our sym
pathies are tremblingly alive to the pro
gress of human freedom; and while we
think (because ofa with
the despots who misgovern them, justifies
extrinsic aid, and almost always requires
it, we must seek for reasons for withhold
ing our efforts in a cause that warmly ex
cites our interest, from the danger of such
efforts to ourselves, or from their little
utility to our triends. In the present in
stance, we hardly entertain a doubt that
these considerations not only justify our
remaining neutral in the present revolu
tionary struggle in South America, but
render it absolutely necessary, both for
our own preservation, and for the suc
cess of the* cause we are incited to es
pouse.

SHIPWRECK.
PHILADELPHIA,Oct. 10.
Extract of a letter from the Log-Book
and Narrative of the loss of the ship
Lautora, of Charleston, S. C, capt.
Benjamin Mathews.'
Sailed from Greenock on Sunday, 24th
Aug, 1817, bound to Charleston, with
a cargo of coals, iron and dry goods,
and a crew consisting of 14 persons, in
cluding the captain—4 cabin passengers,
and 29 steerage do. in all 47 persons.
Nothing material happened until Tues
day, 2d Sept, when we carried away the.
fore-yard in the slings; having a spar
on board, set the carpenters to work,
and on the 4th September, got the new
y aril up, and bent a new foresail. From
this date to the sth inst. fresh gales and
variable winds. On the Bth, at noun,
strong breezes aard hazy weather; —the
pumps had been set a going as usual to
pump the ship out; at 15 minutes p. m.
finding she did not sink, sounded in the
well and found three feet water in the
hold, although the ship hud been pumped
out at 11 a. m; immediately rigged both
pumps, took off the hatches and com
menced throwing the dry goods over
board, and every thing else that could
be got at. At 5 p. m. finding the wa
ter had gained much on us, and suppo
singjjie leak to be on the starboard side,
woapship to the southward. At 6 p.m.
increased four feet in the
hold; as it gained so fast on the tack,
wore ship again to the northward and ex
amined every part of the ship, we could
get at, to try and ind the leak, but with
out effectjhauled the cqurses up and took
in fore and mizen topsails, crew and
passengers all employed throwing the
cargo overboard, pumping and bailing.
At 8 p. m. the lee pump choalked, hois
ted it up, cleared it ami set it a going
again. At 10, r. m. 7 feet water in the
hold,! continued pumping and bailing
out at the after Jiatcli and cabin, and
pumping. By (his time all the dry
goods, a quantity of iron and every
thing else, that could be got at, were
thrown overboard. At midnight, the
water casks in the after hold, began to
get loose and roll about; the lea pump
constantly choaked with the coals as
fast as ever we cleared it. N From 12,
p. m. until 4, a. M* kept constantly
pumping and bailing, from the after
hatch and cabin, but (he water still gain
ing. At this time, 8 feet water in the;
hold. After several attempts to dear
the lee pump, the spear brokeln it, and
we abandoned it. Got a tackle on the
mizen stay, slung a barrel over the hatch,
and commenced balling in this man
ner. From 10, until 12, the water con
tinually gaining on us, and no vessel
heaving in sight, we concluded to get
the long and jolly boat out, which was
accordingly (tone, and into which we
put about 20 gallons of water, one bar
rel and a half bag of bread, 3 hams 6
Eiece® of beef, 2 cheese, and one gallon
bser, one main royal, and one
mam gallant steering sail, 2 quad
rants and 1 coart. At two p. m. of the
10th, every person being quite ex
hausted with the exertions they had
made.to keep the ship up, gave over
pumping and bailing and the confusion
was distressing beyond measure, which
occurred in trying who wou*d get into
the boat first; the capt- was obliged to
order the boats to bp veered some dis
tance astern of the ship.—At 3p. u.
with the greatest difficulty the captain
succeeded in getting into the long boat.
On bis arrival indie longboat, he found
17 persons including himself, ia.it, and
3 ia The jolly boot; hove toveHxttrd a
quantity of clouting, La order toiy.,^
W" “ u Ji h ** possible; h*' , !
the ship all night, in hopes of sum.' Vl
sel* passing near us, but at halfp a3s -
o clock in the morning, observed ,1 *
ship to take a sudden lurch to leer. d
she rose the next swell, and ?
suddenly, that few in the bouts saw £
.® n she disappeared, carrying down
widi her 27 souls, including two of tl.*
ship’s company. e
We immediately cut the rope W
which we hung; and pulled off in order
to avoid being drawn into the vortex
and carried down with her. I n i-’
minutes after the ship sunk, a heavr sea
hove the jolly boat on the quarter of the
long boat, and stove her; she inune.M
ately filled, and the men who were in
her swam to the long boat, which i u
creased our number in her to 20. \\
• tlien lay l>y until day-light, when we'
commenced nailing weather-cloths round
: the boat’s side, and tigging a mast. y
■ 11 a. m. being all ready, served out a
■ pint of water and about a pound ot
• bread amongst the twenty persons, and
» then bore away steering e. by s . the
wind w. n. w. At half past n, the.
• lower gudgeon of the rudder gave wav
■ and we were obliged to steer with an oar
; At half-past lot the 11th, discovered
i to our great joy, a sail right a head-ht
i the reef out of our sails and stood for
i her. At 2, p. m. the wind moderating
manned the oars and kept pullino- a ,fd
• sailing towards the vessel. At 3, squall r
1 with rain; observed that the sail had
‘ hove too for us. At 4, succeeded in get
■ ting alongside the brig Jessie, of Du m - f
, fries, (Scotland) capt. James Williams,
• bound for St. Andrews, n b, who rcceiv
• ed us on board, and whose kindness and
: hospitality to us afterwards, will never
■ be forgotten by any individual who was
saved.
Thus ends tlie histoiy of this unfortu
nate ship, and the fatal disaster which
befel it <pn the 18th of the same month,
fell in with the ship Halcyon, of and
from Philadelphia, captain Wooston,
who, although full of passengers, kind- '
ly received on board capt. Mathews, his
mate, Mr. Ainesley Hall, Mr. William
Weston, Mr. J.€. Ross, and two boys.
—->=£> ’•&:<£>:
We have before noticed a difference
of opinion existing between' the people
of Ncw-York and maj., gen. Scott, who
commands that military district, in res
pect to the purposes for which the cor
poration of the city had ceded to the U.
States a portion of the open space com
monly called the Battery. It appears
that much heat has prevailed on this
subject, and our readers will see how
ardently the flame had raged. By a pe
rusal of the following paragraph from the
New-York Gazette:
“ At mid-day yesterday the heat sub
sided, and the respectable and incensed
throng upon the battery dispersed, the
contest having taken a favorable and pa
cific turn. The workmen employed
were suddenly stopped just in time to
prevent a painful struggle between the
civil and military authorities. The gen
eral prudently gave way,.and the honest
and indignant feeling of the citizens
prevailed. Thus, happily, in peace we
are friends, and we have a well groun
ded hope that hereafter no event will oc
cur (0 produce IVJIR between the soldier
and the citizen. The executive is none
to decide, and we fondly repose upon the
anticipation ”
Is it possible that the people of the pat
riotic city of New-York could have been
roused to the tumultuous assemblage «-
bove described on such an occasion;
We know nothing of course of the mer
its of this controversy; but it is certain
that gen. Scott, and through him the au
thority of the union, have riot been very
politely treated, in the newspapers at
least. We are very sorrow for this af
fair, which, though of min or consequents',,
shews us what is to be deprecated in con
troversies of greater magnitude.
