the brigands, and therefore if iiis reinon I

Let the unbiafti and mind contrail the

Why ?—becaufe our trade to her co

we please, buy and fell what we please
(excepting luch things, which England
has taken upon herfelf to declare contra

Americas ftiall receive notice (so far as his
lemarks a iuded to ihe editor,) in our next.
We learn from St. Mary’s that the priva
reer which captured the (hip two friends,
caps. M’Neil, of Charlellon, was coming in
to that rii'er, a prize to the BtililTi frigate
Cambrian It was expc&ttl the Cambrian
would attempt the recapture of the Britiih
vessels, prizes to the Spaniards, lately adver
tised for sale.
. We have recently pnblilhcd a flioft
view of the French finances j by which it
[appears, that the whole annual expedi
itures amount to 684,000,000 franks, or
Jabout 137 millions of dollars. We are
naturally led to compare this amount of
expenditure with that of Britain ; as these
two powers arc at prtfent engaged in an
arduous coutcft, the issue of which mud
[depend, in a great measure, upon their
Mefpedtive resources.
j The annual expenditures
[of Great Britain and Ireland
amount to above dolls. 310,000,000
Thole of France to 137,000,000
Difference again 11 G. B. 173,000,000
1 Although the population ol the latter
]is and üble ti at of the former. Whence
jif tt that this great diffetence arises ?
Ihe government of Fiance is supported
j with superior iplendor to that ol England;
the ohj'tts cffetled by the former
are more numerous; a large portion of
the relource* of France being devoted to
(internal improvements, to public inftruc
ti'>n, aud to the advancement of ihe arts
and fcienciis. France also supports au
army of 300 000 tffetftive foldicrs, while
jthe force of England does not amount to
(one third of that number. We can only
latisfadforily account for the enormous
expenditures of Britain by attending to
three circumltances. iff. Her valt na
tional debt. 2d. Her gigantic navy;
and 3d. Her extensive colonies. These
ate the ceaseless channels through which
hi r wealth flows • and they are dirans
which threaten to endure for ages unless
they (hall be dried up by fotne extraordi
nary convnltion. It is bccauufe France
io free from these perpetually encreafing
l iuic sol expe;.diture tnatlhcis able to
ktep her di6burfenu-Hts within such nar
(rew limits.
In thele refpedts the example of Eng
laod Ih iu!d be perpetually p , -efeiit to the
view of oUr countrymen. Whenever
(their dispohtion to retard the present ra
pid exlrtiguilhmeiit of the national debt
(relaxes from a wills to anfwerfome tenn
porary purpose, let them rt I A on the
rapidity with which the Britiih debt has
progicll-d to its present enormous and
.alarming magnitude. Whenever our
jambitious views lead us to in lulg ; ideas
iof conquest, let us remember that these
carry in their train, avast naval elta
blilhment, and whenever our pride fug
gelts the pol <y of a great naval arma
ment, let Ub previously decide one pro
jblem, viz. whether we can limit its
ultimate extent within narrower bounds
jtkan the great maritime powers of Eu
]rope.

Ft om a New
Extraordinary feat. A certain Wil
liam Brown, who was lately confined in
debtor’s p-ifori in this city, made it hi*
daily pra&ice toamnfe himftlf and terrify
his affreiates, by running and jumping on
the roof of the building. At one time
he wuld fland with one foot on the edge
of the dormant window and the other
extended over the pavement below; at a
nother he would throw his body over the
eaves of the roof and suspend himfelf o
,ver the pavement Dy holding the gutter
| with his hands. Last week he walked
deliberately on the gutte to the corner
|of the building, put himfelf over tbe
eaves of the roof, and came down into
the yard on the pipe or box which lcad
from the gutter. As he was making his
escape from the yard he was appreben
• tied by one of the turnkeys of the prison,
from whom we received these fadts. C.A
From the Philadelphia True American.
SHOCKING CRIJELT t !
The publication of cases of cruelty
may be a doubtful matter of policy ; but
when the offender has been {offered to
escape almost with impunity it becomes
due to juilice to p’ace him uj.on the pub
lic record, as an object of horror and
‘deteftation.
At tr.e April court of quarter f- Cions,
rs,county ofNorthampton, Sami. De
pui, of tbe borough of Eafton, was iniiidtrd
for an afifiult and battery, on his appren
,tic' 1 , Elizabeth Fulmer, about 12 years
jof age. The indictment let forth, ipe
•Jci.tlTy, the ctrettmftanre9 M-> f w—e after
-1 ward* given in evidence. The defendertt
-'admitted the Case set out in the bill by
1 pleading gu.lty, and lubmitcing to the
court.
It appeared in evidence from different
witnefscs that in the comfe of last
winter emarlrable for its f veri y, Samuel
jDrjui, had tied this child up by her
heels, so that her head j nil touched the
j ground, and in that posture had beaten
dirr moft ft verely, until she was all bloo
|dy : that he had taken her to the neccs
fary, and compelled her to eat human
excrem nt : That he had made her eat
pepper and lime : That in the coldest
time of the winter he had poured (how
and water upon her in bed : That he had
tfiripped her naked and tied her in au
open garret into which the snow had
driven, and kept her thus there mail
night : That he had lacerated her back
Until it was raw and bloody, and then
compelled this wretched infant to rub
the wounds with pepper and lime : And
at another time, had beaten her in the
fame manner, and then put her into a
bed which he had strewed with lime •
(That he had (hut her up at nii-ht in a
liable without flutes or ftockiiigs, until
her feet were frozen.
When this montter was called upon to
answer these charges, he did not pretend
to deny any of the fatt* above Hated ;
but endeavoured to pnltate them by fay
ing fome chefauts and a few apples had
been miffing ; that sometimes Ihe would
not answer, when (he was called but fay
rttc did not hear ; and that lie would have
to call her two nr three time* to the tabic
to rat.
This is a candid and litteral statement
of the whole case, taken in writing at the
fame time Ihe public- indignation wa*
highly excited and inceffed, and an ex
emplary punishment wa* eagerly looked
for, especially as the court difeanted on
the offence in the Itrongrft terms
When to the aiionifhmcnt of every body
this sentence was pronounced. That
Samuel Dcpui (hould pay a fine of 1 y
dollar*—be tmprifoned for ten days give
fecuruy for his good behaviour for
one year, in the sum of fifty dollars
As the court has puffed much more se
vere judgments in common assault and
battery, it was dificuft to fay in the
confufion, whether Samuel Depui or
the court was moft the objeft of public
diffatisfaftion.
It w;-.t understood the prefi lent of the
Court, was defirout of inflicting a more
exemplary punishment.
We are happy, however, to state, that
the court thought proper to remove this
unfortunate child from her mercilc*
mailer.
