The solemn denunciations of the pulpit, the. philanthropic persuasions of the moralist, and the im| ‘ smarts whenever I see a woman! But althuugh I inn an old Bachelor and a sworn foe to terrors t *' c ,p nder sexi I now humbly kneel at of the law, evaporate hkc dew, in the ‘he footstool of their power and implore sunshine of their approving smiles. A their intercession m the cause of humam- wliisprr of applause from woman, con founds the ablest, logic and baffles the most ingenious Rhetoric; a benignant glance of female beauty absolves the culprit from the odium of murder; her sympathetic tears white-wash the moat spotted repu tation; and her compassionate sighs re suscitate it from ntoral death. The most damnable custom is rendered admirable bv their applause and the most virtuous actions are made despicable by their con tempt. Nothing but woman could ever have prevailed on Adam to eat the forbid den fruit, and biing “death into the world and all our woe.” Woman was the first to commit crime, and by her influence only could it have been communicated to man. The reason and the conscience of Adam, opposed the entreaties of beauty in vain. In the history of past ages, and in the events of passing time, we see that female power is exercised with undiminished ef fect. The iniquity of a single woman, named Helen, occasioned a ten year’s war, which terminated in the total des truction of Troy and the loss of, heaven knows how much human blood! Anthony forsook the Empire of the world for Cleopatra’s sake. In the midst of a battle on which this great stake de pended, Cleopatra turned her ship and fled, and poor Anthony pursued her.— “Didst thou not know” (said he to Cleo patra) “Didst thou not know My heart-strings were lo thy rudder tied, And I must follow after?” Not only Anthony, but all matt-kind are tied to the petticoats of women and they must follow after them. The strength ami virtue of Sampson, which a host of Philistines could not corrupt or subdue, were melted away by the seductive smiles and tears of a single woman. He broke the cords and withes; he strangled the lion; slew a thousand warriors with the jaw-bone of an ass; plucked down the pillars of a massy and crowded temple; carried off the gates of Gaza on his shoul ders, but Dalilah, a feeble woman, led him by a hair, as a boy does the mighty Ele- f nant. Such is tne influence of woman, f it were worth the trouble, 1 could re count many -famous instances, of Kings and Rulers of nations'who were overruled by their wives or mistresses, to thi great injury of populous and powerful states.— 0! then, now important it is to tie wel fare of the world, for woman to imploy her miraculous influence wisely and vir tuously! It is in the power of tfie (air sex to extirpate some of the most pernicious and horrid crimes that disgrace lumani- tv, but alas! some of the worst ove their support to their counten ance and wplause. There is a certain horrid custou which prevails in society, in spite of al the ef forts of morality, religion and hw—the law punishes its perpetrator wits death! tire preacher denounces against lim, eter nal damnation!—the moralist ferrates ir, as barbarous and unnatural; f* a bane to social order, a destroyer of lomestic peace and happiness, as a monsbr which Mbs the wife of her husband, thefather of Iris child, and the children of the? father! ‘The statesman reprobates it as tie foe to government and the destroyer of fie ablest pillars of the state! But still tha crime is openly committed—still that moister ra vages society—and still its votaics glory in its commission! It’s name is IXjellinq! By whose fostering hand is tits horrid monster tlaily fed with human victims? What hand pours, on this itlnlh altars, libations of blood, and propithtes his fiend-ship “with sacrifice of hunnn gore and matron’s tears?” Is it not fie hand of woman? The applausive smiles of the female sex alone, can support thiscustom; their frowns alone can destroy it. I shud der my fair Readers, while thus I stain “That whiter skin of yours than snow, Ami smootlie us monumental alabaster," with the blood of so many noble youths, who have died victims at the shrine of your divinity—yet I must declare that- the practice of duelling owes its preva lence to the encouraging sanction of wo men, and that there is no antidote for it under heaven, save their decided and practical disapprobation of the custom. If gentlemen were entirely excluded from female society for fighting duels, iny life Upnn it! the practice would be utterly abandoned in twelve months. If a female society were organized, the constitution of which should proscribe and outlaw from female intercourse every duellist, it would do more towards abolishing the custom in a few months, than all that the pulpit Or legislature can do for ages. It is not probable tliut any lady in the land Would refuse to become a member of such a so ciety, and I doubt not but that similar societies would soun be instituted in other citios and states. It would require no funds, but humanily; no subscriptions, but of names. The male sex have established a society, in the Eastern states, the vast object of which Is, to put an cud to wars between Nations, while duelling, a spe cies of etui/ war, is permitted to rage in ty, and promise to become their most de voted admirer, if they will take up arms against that infernal fiend Duelling, and no longer sacrifice our sex upon his bloo dy altars. CfELEBS. For the Georgian. Jiff. Editor, If the following correspondence between an Irishman and wife in Ireland, can in your opinion, afford to your readers any amusement, I shall from time to time con tinue it. X. Y. Z. MRS. JUDY O’DIHSCOLL. My dear Judy, Before I begin this letter at all I will be after telling you that I am alive, which 1 hope you’ll be when you receive this; and if it is a thing that you are not let me know, that I may write no more and so save postage. I landed in this city two days before I arrived, and to be sure I was bothered to find myself at home in a strange country where 'every body knew me; even people I never saw swore so to my face. Now I’ll be after giving you a little bit of a his tory of this queer place, called Savannah; this land of liberty as they call it—where children are free before they are born.— Well then, my honey, this is a large town with not very many houses in it, but wliatis the same thing a great many chimniesjfor you see, the houses were frightened some time ago at a fire that was here, and run away, but they left the chimnies standing to be responsible for their coming back a- gain. The houses here are much the same as in Cork, but that the brick part of them is made of wood, and that they are slated with shingles. They are also pretty uni form, being built both sides of the middle of the street. This town and the country around it is full of majors, colonels and captains; in fact, every private man is a captain, or colonel at least. I expect they will be after making one of me soon. If so I’ll let you know that you have your self called I.ady O’Driscoll. I am so full of business now ( have no time to finish this letter; but must conclude your very loving husband, PATRICK O’DRISCOLL, P. S. I send two letters by this ship least one should miscarry if the ship should be* lost. CLKYDKRUUF’l'r, XEER CORK. My dear Pat, I received your letter four days before it came to hand, and long before I opened it the contents were neer throwing me in to hushterrick fits, to think of hearing you were well even before I had any account from you. Oh, Paddv, you would laugh till you could cry the guts out ofyou, to see *he lemoncholl v state of poor Ireland; nor can it be mended, unless the people become united as they are in America, as the parson tells me, for you see all- Irelaud is of one way of thinking—except those who differ from us, and them they call the Orange boys, and faith, very bitter oranges they are, and I am sure all the world knows they are not sevil ones. Most of the women in Ireland are united Irish-- men; ves, and children too before they are able to speak aword, say dam the king in Irish. All our neighbors living now and has not left the place, are either shot, hanged or transported; in fact there is nothing but bloodshed and battery all around us, and this all owing to the bloo- ily backs, or red coats, as you call them, who commit depredations on man, wo man and child, burning and destroying all that comes after them; and tho’ we have not Tarleton as you had in America, we haveLutrell the Traitor—bad luck to him; they call him Erl Carampton—devil cramp him; lie is a sore sight to them who never saw him. He burned poor Dadd’s distillery at the Glyn, last night, and the devils get, as he is nothing else, took out the-chifdcen, ordered the pipe to play up God save the king, and made them dance to the tune while their father’s house was burning and the property destroying.— Paddy, what do you think of this? Well, they did worse the night before—they went to Owen Durneen’s house at Poolnamuck, took out his three sons, Larry, Bryan and Roger, and, you know what sonsy boys they were, shot them before their own door without judge' or jury, Wout in and used Catty, tneir sister, in a worse man ner, and a finer girl never step’d in a brogue. Well, they even done worse than that a few nights before—they burned and destroyed your own cabbin.— I’ll tell you how it happened, altho’I am pale in the face with blushing, nor would 1 venture to tell you, but that you often told me I' was as chaste as Helen of Greece, Queen Dess, or even the Empress of Rus sia. But as parson O’Dogherty says, de moritus nil nisi bonum, that is, when wo men are bad stone them.—Well, this is the way it happened:—One evening in comes a big soger; he called himself a grenadier or a grand deer I don’t know lese ship Bon Succesn, at.

Six or seven for before the first word was out of my of them, however, have contrived to get mouth, in comes parson O’Dogherty, and to Heneagua and possess themselves of you know he can box other things as well their old Felucca which was lying there; as the pulpit—so without saying by your they were expected to return to Long- leave or any thing else, he let fly a fist Island for Davis and his companions, who full of fingers at him, and in three strokes were at Cabbage Point on Tuesday last, left him sprawling on the ground like with a great part of their plunder. Cab- ted; and ihe compliment was returm Dennis Gnllahar’s old sow; we left him for bage Point is reported to be the place of Irom Fort Charlotte. We have seen, dead.

Omnia vanitas,—I’ll take another glass;-but the last word the denr man spoke just as he got the thirty-nine lashes was—sic transit gloria mundi—that is we are here to day and gone a Sunday.— He fainted in my arms and would nave died, but I had a cordial in iny pocket which revived him. I could tell you a thousand such facts as this, but must de fer it for another letter. Let me know if you are made a captain of yet, that I may nave myself called Lady O’Driscoll, then you know I would have the uppermost hand of the parson's wife in all public places, which I long since have had in f irivate; and faith the parson seems to ike me on your account even as well as his own wife. He advises you to stay where you are and not return; for if you do says he (nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit) that is, no wise man would work in a sand pit. I would write longer, but the parson and I are going to dispute on a re ligious point. Adieu—Be as virtuous to me as I am to you. Read Joseph An drews—there is an example of chastity in a man for you. I remain your tender, chaste, and lov ing wife, JUDY O’DRISCOLL. From the Charleston Courier of June 4. We received by yesterday’s southern mail our regular file of the Royal Bahama Gazette, to the !2(h ult. inclusive. Ex tracts follow. They contribute much to elucidate the system of plunder, carried on by the Patriot privateers. The U. S. sclir. Firebrand, lieut. Cun ningham, arrived at Nassau on the tlth ult. anil fired a salute, which was returned from Fort Charlotte. Nassau, April 3. Early in the last month we reported the arrival here of the American sloop Sally, Hopkins, with part of the crew of a Spanish Guineaman, called the Celeste, that were put on board by a privateer schooner, said to be the Patriot, J. B. commander, which captured her off Aba- co. This Guineaman, with about 170 Slaves, was subsequently wrecked near the West end of Grand Bahama on the 24th ult. The Slaves were taken on board the privateer, which proves to be the schooner Hornet, Capt. Orne, from Balti more, the same that was sometime ago forcibly taken from one of the United States* Revenue vessels that had been sent to detain her. While the Hornet was lying at Grand Bahama with the Slaves on board, a long low schooner join ed her and they sailed together. The ob ject of these freebooters is to get the Slaves into Georgia. A short time pre vious to this, the Hornet carried a schoon er to the same anchorage, which seems to be a place of rendezvous; she had in a cargo of sugar and coffee, which was tran shipped into a sloop, in all likelihood, the same American sloop Sally that came in here and reported herself as last from St. Augustine on her way to New-Orleans, antT in want of provisions. Several of the crew quitted the privateer while she lay at the Grand Bahama. April 10. By the relation of the owner and a pas senger on board of the sloop Saucy Jack that was captured sometime in February last, by a schooner which was prize to the Felucca, commanded by the notorious John Davis, alias Souti, circumstances of the most atrocious nature have been dis closed with respect to the treatment of the persons that were on board the Saucy Jack at the jime. This sloop, a British vessel, Newman master, was from Mavari in Cuba, for St. Thomas, with a cargo of tobacco—was taken by the schooner men tioned above, commanded by one Louis Dupuis, with a crew of St. Domingo blacks:—the pilot of the sloop had his wife with him, a young woman of about 17 years of age. After the most brutal and diabolical abuse of this unfortunate crea ture, they slung the husband overboard, and having shot him cut the body adrift. The owner of the sloop was detained about S weeks on board the schooner and then landed on Long Island. The ui woman was kept on board and finally carried off in her. The sloop was given up to the master and two others, and pro ceeded to Long-Island. The owner and the passenger have arrived here, and their examinations at the Police Office are to the foregoing purport. It appears' Irom firther accounts, that the schooner was-equipped by John Da vis, as a more suitable vessel for a priva teer than his Felucca—that, while lying. sly got puis are two of those committed. Messrs. Editors—Observing in your pa per of Saturday last, a report from the Charleston Courier, made by a Mr. Hulse, who “arrived at Darien on the 15th ult. 3 days from Bahama Key, with sugar, coffee and wine, shipped by John Smith of that place”—you will oblige one of your subscribers by inserting in your next paper the following facts, to counteract any impressions that might be made on the public mind, prejudicial to Mr. Smith, by said report. Mr. Smith left the West end of Grand Bahama on the 3d March, and arrived in this Port on the 10th, in the forenoon, and remained in Nassau until the 26th: during his absence a schoon er came too off the West end of Grand Bahama, (said to have been captured by an armed brig) laden with sugar and cof fee, but landed none; this load was dis charged from the schooner into a sloop, then under the direction and apparently commanded by a captain Allen, who said he had been sent by the agents or owners of the said armed brig to receive and take on board any or all articles captured by her. And as respects the “Wine,” a few casks had been some time previous made a present of to Mr. Smith by a captain Beattv, who commanded an armed vessel called the Irrcsistable, alias Hornet, and which the said Allen had rolled out of Mr. Smith’s barn, and put on board his sloop, without leave or license, saying he thought Beatty had rewarded Smith too liberally, for any services he might have rendered or any inconvenience ne might have been put to by Beatty or his men. Such is the state of the case, which I had from an undoubted source, and I am con vinced Mr. Smith knew nothing of the transaction as stated by Hulse. Yours, &c. &c. A SUBSCRIBER. Nassau, 23d April, 1819. May 5. H. M. Schooner Speedwoll. LimI. Wemys, arrived from Cuba on the night of Sunday last.—She has been on shore on Ginger Key, and in imminent danger of being lost, but was fortunately got off after taking every thing out. A Spanish armed brig called the Almirante, was ly- iug under the Key when the schooner ran on shore, and taking her at first for a Venezuelan cruiser, proceeded towards her in a very hostile manner; on learn ing that she was H. B. M’s. Schooner, the commander of the brig changed his con duct but would not afford any assistance in getting her off though he gave a pas sage to the pilot over to the main for the purpose of procuring a vessel, in case one might be wanted. On her return from Cuba, the speedwell met a privateer Schooner called La Constantia, commanded by Capt. Northrop, with a tender, under a commisson from Artlgas, President of the Oriental Republic of La Plata—Desirous of speaking them before night, Lieut Wemys bore up for them, and went on board the largest, where he was received very politely, but with all the parade of preparation. Capt. Northrop professed his disposition at all times to treat the British flag with respect; seem ed to be pefectly informed of the state of things in this port, and acknowledged that he had some useful friends here. The Portuguese ship Bom Successo, from Brazil, was some time since captu red by the vessel of war Valiente, W. S. Christie commander under a commission from Artigns, President of the Republi- co Oriental, Rio de la Plata. After having lain at anchor for many days at Rum Key the B. S. was lately wrecked on Wind, ward Little Island. The prize-master arrived here three days ago, and several vessels have since sailed to bring down the cargo, consisting of sugar, cotton, rice and hides. The Swedish ship Constantia, Johnson, master, from Port-au-Prince, bound to Havre, in France, has been lately wrecked on Cotton Key, Bahaml Bank—the mas ter arrived here a few days ago with a part of the cargo which was saved, and some vessels have gone from hence to bring hither what more may be recovered from the wreck. May 8. Sailed this morning (or Honduras, the treuaport ship Fame, tyeen master, with his majesty’s two blackurrison compan ions, under command I capt Roche, which we understand, gtj to be disbanded there. Rear admiral Sir Hone Pompham, had arrived at Havana befoi the Lee sailed, and was to proceed, i we understand, for St. Domingo, witho the intention of touching at this port. I ds is to be regret ted as a short visit wi Id have enabled Sir Home to obtain sot i information re lative to the .situation ' the colony, that under his good officenuraight have been rendered beneficial to contain no later intelligence from Engla,, than we were in possession of previuu, ly. The remainder of the Cargo of the swe.l dish Brig Co stantia Jonsnn, master coni sitting of Coffee Chiefly, which had beet.1 landed on the Key on which she was wrec.l ked, as already mentioned, has we aid informed, been trken off by some Inde-l bendent cruizer, with the exertion of sued part as was wet and damaged. I By qn arrival from Caba we learn that] there has been an engagement lately the Old Straits between a Spanish sloop I of War and the Artigas privateer La Con. I stantia, Northrop, commander in which I both vessels drew off having suffered se-1 verely. The Hull of the Portuguese ship Succeso lying at Windward Little I s |. and it is stated, was set fire to by one of the officers of the Prize Crew who had her in charge. Several small Vessels who have arrived with sugar &c. saved from her but about two thirds of her cargo, it is said, has been lost. TIOM THI BOSTON DUCT ADVBBTISlaot IU 2j, We understand that the allusion in the correspondence ot lord Cochrane with capt. Biddle, to the case of a neglect to salute the admiral's flag by the frigate Es. sex on entering the harbour of Gibraltar in 1802, is grossly incorrect, and that thi British admiral on that occasion, to far from requiring that the salute should he afterwards paid by capt. Bainbridge,in ve ry handsome terms acknowledged that un der the circumstances none was due. Some of the southern papers hire shows a strong disposition to censure stmeparti uf the conduct of capt. Biddle during his late arduous expedition. The public are hardly qualified to judge of his conduct, before knowing any thing of it. Whether the official report of his cruise will be laid before the public, we have no meins of knowing, but when it is, it will probably be as satisfactory to them as it undoubt edly is to the government. It is known that capt. Biddle was instrumental in sa* ving much property of some of our citi zens; and gentlemen concerned in Ihe trade to those remote seas, feel under strong obligations to him, for his faithful performance of his public duties, In proof of which we lay before our resdtri the billowing correspondence, a copy of which we have procured for publication.
