TO HOWARD, OF MW TORX.
I mentioned in my last, tint I consider
ed the parents and heads of families pos
sessed ol wealth, as the principal founts,
from whence extravagance und want of
economy generates and flows. This rule,
a* well as sume others, is not intend'd to
be too generally applied. There are ma
ny families, of whom 1 have heard, and
some with whom I am acquainted, though
possessed of a considerable portion ol
wealth, have too much regaitl for their own
welfare, and that of their families, to allow
themselves so much latitude .is would en
daoger their happiness, Their prudence
i* praiseworthy, and should be imitated
Instead of permitting their children (<
pass their time in idleness, and squar.dei
their money in extravagance, instead of al
lowing their daughter* fine lares, gold
watches, and Leghorn hats, and allowing
their sons a pocket full of money (inynun;
men the sure conductor to vice and iIlsm
pation) instead of permitting them to dress
ike show monkies or.baboons, they lau
dably content themselves by p lying a pro
per attention to their health, and then
muds, their behavior amt their initials,
with allowing them such things as are pro
per tor them, such clothes as are endue
tivc to their health and appearance. And
yet,true it is, they are more thought of,
and esteemed, in respect to their mental
accomplishments, than many of those gen
try, who iport their finery and money,
without when brought to the point, pos
sessing a single idea of their own; and ma
ny of whom oflco, very often, are incapa
ble, from want of proper conduct during
.heir education, and attention to the iro-
rovement of it, after having received it,
to give or advance any opinion, on a sub
ject of common discussion, that may be
orought up in their preseence. They gen
erally, fur want of another, fall into the
opinions of others, and hence escape in-
iguificanfe. Snow me a person, who
iresses himself in what is called ‘the fash-
an,’ who walk* the street by day and
night, calling here,and calling there, with
out any visible m»ans of employing Iris
time, except on Sunday, when he general
'y goes to church—to see, and be seen,
and I will then shew you an unfmfunat>
being, a being without a soul. What a
treasure would he find in occupation. I'm
occupation is real hsppin'-ss. Some ol
these beings, have a strange notion anions
them, that if brought op to anv bnsinesi
or trade, they cannot be real gentlemen.
" would ask any man of common sen-e.
there can be a real gentleman, without
one? But the opinion is worthy ol thru
order, and the time must come.'whrn they
will find the fallacy of it, anJ sincerely
ish they had been brought up to some
occupation.
Who will say there are cot a number ol
families who have been reduced, many to
indigence, from a a ant of proper attention
to economy? None, I am confident. We
see the demonstration tco plainly every
day; it would l)e preposterous to say inert
are not, and how much is it .to. i>e regret
ted? While they see others, who from
tiisuing the‘middle path for the middle
path is beat’ enjoying the blessings of their
economy, they from a sense of their own
hilly, regret their Want of it, until the last
moment of their lives.
How Rasing it is to see a young man,
ngaged in study or iu some tradyvir busi
ness, daily repairing to that- business,
And attending to 'it with an assiduity
for which he will soon reap a rich harvest.
Hi* mind employed in his occupation, is
not liable to the infection of vice, he has
no deception to study, fur he has nofning
to apply it to. If he has been properly
reared, ho spends ms time, where basi-
ness dues nut demand it, in. reading useful
books, in cultivating and improving his
mind, and in endeavoring to mskehitq-
selfan useful member of society. And
when^and where did such conduct fail?

The Baltimore Morning Chron'cle con
tains the following judicious remarks:
There is a certain phraseology adopted
hy worldingg, which when taken as a ruh
•if action allow* a more extensive latitude
than when thing* are railed by their plain
down-right, pioper names. Thus, nothing
is inure frequent than to distinguish policy
from hiinoi-, and justice and virtue
will then be said that the thing contem
plated to be done, is neither honorable, or
ju*t, or virtuous, but that it is politic. Few
temptations operate more powerfully'on
the human heart than this; we become fa
tniiiar with depravity, by merely changing
names; w- take to our arms, to our cortfi
den . e, and to our b"-uin* til' foul and di
listing li-nd of corruption, because sne is
led no longer by her proper name, bu
k hdtof policy. But whence result* this
'tiilction by "which vice i» so unceremo
oiousiy converted into virtue? in wliat
article ol the decalogue, in wliat page ul
divine-inspiration, in what code of divine
ethics is the principle recognized, that
mak; s our eternal allotment nf'happihess
or tni*ery, to depend on the ohange of n‘
word? It tne duty has denounced all the
terrors of his vengeoce against certaiu sc
tioos, doe* a difference of phraseology aveit
s penalty so awful and so tremendous?-
No, never 9ince creation sparkled into ex
istcuce, under the eye of a superintending
God; never since it caught a glimpse and a
glinipae only of the divine effulgence, did
tht Author of our existence ever separate
justice from policy. Ourmoral duties are all
linked togetner by a chain more indissolu
ole than that Which binds the planetary
m bs in tneii courses; more indissoluble we
m-ysay with einpha-iis—lor the time will
arrive when the chain that links creation
will be broken and dissolved; but ou
moral duties are but manifestations of
God himself, a.-id essentially partake
of the character of his eternal existence.
lie is styjed the God not of policy but of
justice.
But this , adaptation of crime to words
does not end here. Children are taught
Irom their cradles‘these fastidious, these
die distinctions; they are taught to believt
that public virtue is different fr»m private,
rims, the words public faith, public honor,
public virtue, children are taught at one
■ anil the «ame in-Unt of time, to profes*
irni to disobey—that these ate the loaded
;Ii :a which l man must play, to gamble
himself into popularity anil power-i-that
I'rofessionsare made to be retracted—pro
inih.s, to be violat 'd—confidence, to be.
broken—homr, to be trampled in the dust.
Th-y are told that, patiiotism means dirty,
grovelling, private interest, by which a
man is enabled to ruin his country, for his
ownaggrand'Z'-me.ntjthatthe beautiful and
heart exhibiting pictures of public virtue,
which shine with such effulgence on <h
pages of history, are wh.-.t lord Walpol.
denominated theta to be. the school bov
.lights of classic leading. Thus children
ire taught liypocri.-y in their cradles—
deception and treachery, before they can
distinctly pronounce the words. In th«
mean time, examples are cited, and they
may be cited in abundance cf such success
ful villany—of men, who have enjoyed and
abused public confidence. Dues any one
xclaiin against such new-fangled ethics?
The answer is easy—policy warrants all
•uc.h enormity—it warrants the transfor
mation of our country into an immense
gambling table—wlieie our gamblers may
sport with' the rights ami liberties of un
born millions. Should one undertake to
carry these ideas to their full extent—t"
their sweeping enormity, and attempt to
shew that policy would equally justify an
linnesr man in taking a purse on the high
way; the consequence is denied—there are
sws in existence to prevent such robbery,
anil it is therefore only politic that our
coanfry should be robbed.
But a question, and an impn-tant one re
mains for solution—wliat can be the con
fluence to the rising race, if private and
public virtu-, are regarded in such ilitt'e-
ent lig'ite’; if a chili is told that he must
ibserve honesty in private life, and disre-
;*rd it in public; if he i» told that h'onesty'
is a comtr er.ilahle virtue, exr.ppt when our
c uotry is to he beoef-y.-d hy the exercise
of such a qu tlitvl Can it be expected that

•if freedom in the moral world; like that of
virtue in the physical, is capable of great
*!i'l expansive energies—it sparkles, ex
plodes, and it kindles from nation to na
tion; tyranny is oftentimes, when behold
ing tins salutary light, changed into Iree-
d tn a- by magic—but tne operation of this
principle, so glorious when placed under
tYeiPipei infendonce of virtue, impairs rven
itself when left to its own undisciplined
energies—as the explosion of a cannon too

This disposition of. men'generally, but
particularly of the foreigners who come
among us, affords one strong reason for nur
N'enming a manufacturing people.—It is
idle to say that we should not manufacture
as long as we have new lands to cultivate.

ches, and who can never be induced to be

Mr. Baldwin, supercargo of the Cnlum

ly, a vessel three days from Murgaretta
arrived at Si. Thomas with intelligence ol
the sailing of a fleet of twenty nine sail, un
dcr the command of admiral Brion with fif

By the same arrival was received the ac

we regret to observe that many are disap

that they are not persuaded to go into the

Dear sir—“The following information
was handed me by a gentleman who arrived
from St. Eustatius this morning, and
which you will please have published, on
your arrival at Philadelphia, as it may be of
service to the commercial part of ihe com
iiunitv.
A schooner touched oft'St. Eustatius 20th
inst. in 6 days passage from Margaritta
bound t<> St. Thomas, the capt. of which
essel gave the following information:—
Vdmiral Brion sailed from Margaritta on
on thelOtli inst. with his squadron, consist
ing of the Victora (his flag ship) a tliirtv
two gua English frigate, recently arrived
(name not recollected) nine brigs, eleve
ehoonors, and a number ol gun-boats, all
well armed and manned. On board "f tin
quadton are 2500 English, Irish anfl
Scotch, 500 German, and about850 Indian
troops, all well disciplined, and in hig!
spirits, they inostsangainely calculatedup-
>n meeting with success, and being amply
remunerated for the many hardships and
deprivations they had experienced whilst
at Margaritta. Their destination is sup
posed to be against Luguira.
Commodore Joley was still under arrest
at Margaritta, for conspiracy with his broth
r-in-law, gen. Arismr ndi, against admiral
Brion, and an act of piracy which he com
mitted whilst he commanded the Victoria
—Arismendi is underarrest at Angostura;
their trial is to take plac* immediately al
ter the return of Btion from his present ex
pedition—ind it is the general impression
they will be shot and hung in jibbits. A
umber of prizes had been lately carried
into Margaritta, several of them with valu
able cargoes of hides sugar, cocoa, tallow,
indigo, etc. all of which sold at high,prices
as tiieie were a gieat many speculators
there from St. Thomas, and different Is
lands with abundance of doublouqs
and good bills—except one of the prizes,
were captured by privateers under the Ar-
g-tn flag.
About the 18;h of June there was a brig
carried into Flat Island, by a privateer, ui
rather a pirate under Artigan colours—in
a few hours after her arrival the news
reached St. Berts, St. Martins, and St Eu
statius, ami in the course ol two days the
vessel and cargo were disputed of, and the
pirates made their escape, excepting one
man who ran away front them, and conceal
ed himself in the bushes until after their
-departure. He informed that the schooner
which captured the above mentioned brig,
wascalled the Furioso, capt. Felix Alvara,
mounted 4 nine pounders and an 18 poun
der on a pivot, witlia crew ol To men, prin
cipally Italians, Frenchmen and Spaniards,
wno were almost constantly ina state of mu
tiny.
Tne Furioso shewed, occasionally, dif
ferent colours, aiid as often changed hei
name. She cruised oil Lisbon for three
weeks, during which time she boarded se
veral American vessel*, and cobbed th.gr.
of whatever they wanted, treated them »e
ry roughly, and threatened to flog them if
they even remonstrated against their pro
ceedings.
. Ten days after leaving the Lisbon station,
fell in with the brig Kspcranza, from Lis
bon bound tu Porto Rico, ran alongside of
her, (hauled down the Portuguese colour*
as soon as we discerned her) huisUd Arri-
gan colours and ordered t.iein to strike
which they did with great reluctance, until_
they saw we were about to board. Her car
go consisted <>f wine, brandy, fruit etc.
she mounted -six 12 pounders, and
had a crew ot 12 men; had 15 pas
sengers, principally women and chil
dren, who-were left to the mercy of a sa
vage crew.
The passengers were permitted to remain
on board of tlieE*perauza,but the captain,
officers and crew were taken on board ot.'.
the-privateer .and put iu iron*; the Furioso
accompanied her prize until the third slay
before our at rival at Flat island, when
capt. Alvara gave the captain ol the Espe-
ranza, his officers, crew ami passengers
two boats, with a scanty allowance of pro
visions and water for three days—they at
first refused going, a* there wasevery pros
pect of an approaching gale of wind, und in
the most supplicating manner besought
captain Alvara to permit them tu remain
until next morning, as the boats Would not
live incase they encountered a gale—tlicir
prayers and ectteuties had no avail—-they
were threatened with instant dc.ah it liny
did not immediately go into the boats.—
VVe parted from tnem about 10 a. m. at
which time a considerable sea was running;
and.that night,about half'past eleven, we
experienced a tremendous gale, which Ins:-
