The departed inonareli deserves, and iiistly, every tribute which posterity can pay him.’ He whs one of the most popular tli.il ever sw ayed the sceptre of these coun tries. He never forgot liis early declaration that he gloried in the name of Briton, and Britain now reciprocates the sentiment, and glories in the pride of liis nativity, lie was, indeed, a true bom English man—brave, ge nerous, benevolent arai manly—in the exer cise of liis sway iinil the exercise of liis vir tues, so perfectly consistent, that it is diffi cult to say w hether as a man or sovereign he is most to' he regretted. He commenced for the Catholic a conciliatory system—he pre served for the Protestant the inviolability ol the constitution—he gave to hot!) a great ex ample in the toleration of his principles, and the integrity of his practice. The historian will diveli with delight upon those topics lie will have little to censure and much to commend : he will speak of arts, maimfae tores, literature encourag' d—lie v\ ill linger long among those private virtues which wreathed themselves round his public sta •tion—which identified liis domestic with Ins magisterial character, and made the lather liol'his family, the father of his people, lit O.lvill not fail to remark how ample, and at tin ii |p time how discriminating was liis pa- oage, ami he will truly say that if tile pen cil of West, directed to the sacred voluini by his bounty—if the old age of Johnson cheered and consoled by his royal liberality were to stand alone, they would undeniably attest the purity of his taste anil the piety of his morals. Attributes such as these, sir, come home to the bosom of every man a- mongst us—they descend from the throne, they mingle, with the fire-side, they com mand more, than majesty often can, not only the admiration hut the sympathy of man kind. Nor may we forget, independent of his most virtuous example in private life, the vn*t public benefits, which, as a king, iiis reign conferred upon the country—the liber ty of the press, guaranteed, as far as reason can require it, and were restrained, only so .restrained as to prevent its running into li centiousness—-tlie trial by jury fully defined end firmly established—the independence of -the Bench voluntarily conceded, which de prived the executiv e of a powerful and pos sible instrument, and vested the rights and privileges, and property oft he people in the integrity of a now unassailable Tribunal.— These are acts which we should register in our hearts, they should canonize the memo ry of the monarch ; they made liis realm the land mark of European liberty—they made its constitution the model for Europi an imi tation. l.et us not either in our estimate of bis character forget the complexion of the times in which lie lived; times of portent K. of prodegv, enough to perplex the counsel of the wise, and daunt the valor of the warrior —in such extremities, experience, becomes an infant, and calculation a contingency.— From the terrific chaos of the French Hevo- hitiou, a Cornet ruse and blazed athwart our beinisph re, too splendid not to allure, too ominous not to intimidate, too rapid and too eccentric for human “peculation. The whole continent became absorbed in wonder— Kings and Statesmen and Sages fell down and worshipped, and the political orbs, which had hitherto circled in harmony and peace, hurried from our system into the train of its conflagration. Then- was no order in poli tics—no consistency in morals—no stead fastness in religion— - Vice prevail'd and impious men bare neap. Upon the tottering throne the hydra of 'democracy sat grinning—upon the ruined altar a wretched prostitute received devoti on, and w aved in mockery the burning cross over the prostrate murmurs of the new phi Jisophy ! All Europe appeared spell hound —nor like a vulgar spell did it perish in tin •waters. It crossed the channel. There were not wanting in England abundance of anar chists to denounce ihe King, and of infidel to adjure <!>e -Deity—turbulent demagogues who made the abused name of freedom the pretence'for their own factious selfishness— Atheists looking to be worshipped—Repub licans looking to be crowned—the nobles of t ie land were proscribed by anticipation, and ear property partitioned by the disinterest a fi patriotism of thi se Agrarian Speculators. ft* nrs c L A lut do you think it was during that awful r- insvv.iu'.h saved England from the hellish saturnalia which inverted Fram e ?

Eve in a neighboring county, in join’ ow n island k at the mormon? temptation which h been offered in vain to its impoverished pe santry to induce them—to what ?* Why merely to sum ndcr a murderon assassin well known to have been one of a numerous association. Do you think such principles are natural to our people? D you not think they are the result of system Which do you believe that such a sickening oinridence both at home and abroad, i miraculous or premeditated ? Sir, there is but one solution. You may depend uno it the gulp!) is not yet closed whence tin dreadful doctrines of tlfason, and assassin, tion. K. infidelity, have issued. Men’s rr.iin arc still feverish and delirious, and whether they nickname the fever illumination in (iv r many, liberality in Franc, radicalism in Eng land, or hy some more vulgar and unmean ing epithet at home, they are all children of the same parent—all so many common and convulsive indications of the internal vi tality of the revolutionary volrnno. Sir, I ant not now lo learn thnt those opinions are unpalatable to certain ultra patriots of the hour. I declared them before, and I now reiterate them still more emphatically, be cause they have expressed a very imprudent surprise thnt such opinions should proceed from me. Sir, if they mean to insinuate that I ever approved the practice, or professed the principles of their infamous fraternity, they insinuate a base, slanderous and malig nant falsehood. I hold it to he the hounded duty of every honest man who ever pronounced a liberal opinion, to come forward and declare liis abhorrence of such doctrines. What ! be cause l am liberal, must 1 become rebellious? because I am tolerant, must I renounce my creed ? They have mistaken me very much. Though I would approve of any rational, practicable, reform—t hough I would go very fur upon the road of liberality, I would not move for either, no, not one single inch un less loyalty and religion were to bear me company. I know not what they mean hy their “ Radical Reform,” urdes, they mean to uproot the Tlu'one, the Altar, and Hie State. I do not believe their chimera of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage. I prefer a Legislature comprising the wealth, the talent, and the education tiffile realm, to a Radical Directory of shoeless colliers, and simples* apothecaries. I lly for protection to my King, and for consolation to my God, from the lawless, orecdlcss, murderous, blas phemous banditti, who postpone them both to t!ic putrid carcase of an outlawed infidel. Denounce me if you choose. 1 would soon er die to morrow beneath the dagger of your hate, than live in the infectious leprosy of your friendship. My fellow countrymen, it is high time to pause. Our very v irtuts, hy excess, may become vk.es. la t us aid the aggrieved, but let us not abet the assassin— let us tolerate the sectarian, not countenanct the infidel—let us promulgate, if wo can, ai Universal good, without shaking Ihe basis of our social system, or the blessed foundation I of our eternal hope. My own sentiments, as to the most limited toleration of all sects of Christians, you are not now, for the first time, to he made acquaint' d with. I know that many good men, and many much abler men,dissent from me ; and while 1 give them full credit on the score of ^sincerity, 1 only seek the same concession for myself. 1 would open the gates of constitutional preferment to all my fellow subjects of every religions creed, wide as I expand to them the affec tions of my own heart. It is in my mind but fair, that he w ho protects a State should receive a reciprocity of privileges—that no man should he made familiar with its bur then®, and at the same time lie told lie must remain a stranger to its benefits. This is an humble hut conscientious opinion, given free ly, hut not servilely—seekfugto make others free, I will not submit to become a slave myself, or compromise one particle of self- respect. Nay, more, Sir, though'I would give, and give voluntarily, every liberal en franchisement, 1 Would not withdraw one prop—I would not deface even one useless ornament on the porch of the Constitution ; it Ins been founded by wisdom, defended by valour, consecrated by years, and cemen ted bv thi‘ purest blood of patriotism ; at every step beneath its sacred dome, we meet some holy relic, some sublime memorial ; the tombs of the heroes, and sages, and mar tyrs of our history ! the graves of the Has sells and the Sydneys: the statues of the Hardwiokes and the Hales—the sainted re lics of Departed piety—the table of the laws to which King and PeojWe are alike respon sible—the eternal altar on whose divine Commandments all those laws are founded-; sublime., hallowed, invaluable treasures! un impaired and imperishable he the temple that protects them ! In til*' fulness of my heart I say to it, “ Edto /Vrpiht./,” in tty no political Marius ever rest upon Its reins. Si , , efcrencc to the congratulatory purl oi your address, 1 cannot wish the august I'cr- Knnagc to wliom it rcl'cis a more auspicious wish fhnii that he may follow implicitly the footsteps of his lather. These “ ways an ty s ol pleasantness, these paths are “ paths of peace.” 1 hope hm reign may be as happy is liis Regency has been victorious, and thai in the plenitude of bis power lie will re member the country which forgot not him when that power was very distant. These not limes, however, to be either too exi gent or too umeasoniihb—the allieisl meets os in our noon day walk ; the assassin waits not for the night's ■concealment ; all ranks, nul sects, and pin ties should mute; all that is sacred-in the eye of every Cliristain, dear o every parent a id valuable to every man, is menaced w ith annihilation; every cause if difference, whether real or imaginary, should he now suspended, until-the national shout of “ fear God, honor the King," drowns the wal’hoopof impiety and treason; if we ire to live, my countly men, let us live in the security of laws ; it we are to die, let us die ill (he mnsolalioiis of religion.

The following Letter, in relation to the persons apprehended in Georgetown, uu suspicion of Piracy, 'was received ia tliis City yesterday ; u (jcorfrfloinu *5. C.June 11, 1820. “ Nine Sailors came into tliis town a tow days [last, and from the contradic tory improbable accounts which they give of themselves, excited a suspicion that they hud been engaged in piratical. enterprizes. With a view to the safety of the town, the Town Council of this place had six of them arrested yester day, (the other three having proceeded, to Charleston the day previous in tl'in stage) and their eRaminaliun has confirm ed us in our belief, that they have been connected, more or less, with some ex pedition of thcclvaracter above mention ed. Two of them pretend that they wera last from Wilmington, (N. U.) ami that they arrived there in the brig Milo, cap- lain Andiu'.wus, from London. But they can give little or no account of Wilinmg- b n, and *ny fkat they crossed no ferrij or bridge, in coming from thence to this place. Three other* pretend that they were wrecked on the North-CurMin;x coast, not far to the southward of Wil mington ; (only one of the three would give any statement) that they were then landed in the yawl, which returned for the captain and rest of the crew ; and that they immediately came off' in this direction, and do not know what became* ofthe rest. The vessel in which they .filed, was the brig .Mary, capt. Jones, from London hound to Wilmington. The last said that lie was landed from the schooner Mary, capt- Cobb, with a num ber of tradesmen, on the North-Caroli- na coast, not far to the southward of Wil mington ; that the schooner was from iuernsey bound to Havana, and that he had been engaged, not long since, in the smuggling trade on the coast cf England. Fite different parties pretend to know nothing ol each other, not even their names, although (according to their own confession) they travelled 15 cr 20 miles together ; were together one night orx the road, and associated here. They are well supplied with money, and a pmntity of luggage, so as to be obliged to lure carts and chair* upon the road to isstst them with it. We have not exam ined, as yet, their trunks and luggage 7 hut some ofthe articles are of n charac ter very different from what we might expect in the hands of travelling sailors ; *uch as elegant gold watches, and beau tiful portable desks of satin wood. The three who have gone to Charleston, pic- tend to have been in a brig called tln x Providence, (the captain’s name they told some persons, But have since forgotten) and believed that they were bouud lo "oufli America. I may, while un the subject, also state that a suspicious looking vessel has been lately seen near Bull’s Bay, by some of our cuaHcrs. The crew, of whom we expressed some, suspicion in our la*t paper, were 011 Saturday last examined. The result ot the examination, was their commit ment. As their singular appearance n- inong us, has excited some interest, we will state for the information of our rea der®, what appeared upon their examina-- tion. (*11 Monday, one ofthe crew, was bro’t before E. Waterman, esq. J. P. when he confessed, that the, crew had shipped at Buenos Ayres on board the privateer brig General Rondeau, David Miles, captain. In about six weeks after their leaving Buenos Ayres, they succeeded in taking a Spanish ship. Upon making this cap ture, the captain called the crew toge ther, and said to them, we have beet* cruizing for some time as privateersmen, with but little success ; 1 am now resolv ed to send all prizes onto Mnrgarelta. T hey afterwards overhauled a French brig, took some hides and sugars from her, and suffered her to proceed. But afterwards tumid her to be Spanish pro perty, they cut her out of a port in one i>t th«? Grand Canary Islands, and naado r *
