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. i— ;-a><g>;w 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. Removal.
