From the Evening Pott, June 15.
44 Wo venture to any, tlint New York in propor
tion to her trade, deals ns justly with the rove into
“* «ny other sea port, and tlint nowhere due* the
integrity of commerce, and tlio habitual uhscrvnucc
of thu In iv* of tlio Inin!, exercise more constant influ
ence item among our merchants."
This compliment to tlio New York importers np.
pears in tho American ofyesterduy. It i* u roiu-
plimunt paid nt thu expense of truth. Wo do not
choose to bo misapprehended or misrepresented on
this point, nml wo therefore say timt wo menu not
to condemn iu tho grot* any set of tnon. We ure
well aware that tho virtues nnd vices of mankind
are distributed among the different culling# undue-
cupations—that a* no ono has a monopoly of either,
so 110 0110 is without its share. But in regard to
just dealing* with rite rcvenuo and habitual ohser-'
vnneo of tho law* passed for tho regulation of trade,
tho transgressions of tho New York merchants ore
so frequent and nnointuus that tlio most cbatitnbte
construction wo cun put upon tho words we huvo
quoted is to suppose them a pieco of melancholy
Irony.
To what pitch frauds on tho revenue linve been
carried, may he inferred from iho case of the United
States aguiust Samuel R. Wood, which was tried
in our courts the other duy. Wood, w ho resided in
this country, had agreed with Ills father, who ran-
dod in England, riiat tho good*shipped by the for
mer to tlio care of tlio latter should bo invoiced nt
two-thinls of their cost, nnd that a true invoice
should bo sent with tho goods for Wood to sell them
by, and a falso # invoice to swear by. Tho good*
wore regularly sworn through tho Custom House
by menus of tho fulso invoices;the letter* which
passed between father and son, in whiclt this nefa
rious arrangement was spoken of, as if it had horn
tlm moresfuiatter of course, were produced in court,-
and tho defendant was present ul their production,
listening to thorn with at little apparent slmmo ns if
they related to the most ordinary affair of business
We recollect that a few mouths since a merchant
on tho Grand Jury, who passes fur respectable, on
information being given to the jury of sumo commer
cial fraud, refused to concur in bringing iu a bill
against tho offender, un account of U10 corotnonne**
of the transaction.
Enquire among our fair merrltan's, and wo have
many such—men whoso honesty it tho more wor
thy of praue for being proof ugntntt temptation and
against tho influence of example—inuuiru of them
whether these practices, whether this systematic
fraud, this disregard of tho tacrodnct* of an oath
pronounced within the precincts nf a custom hotiso,
have not injured thu Inmost importer and in some
instances driven* im from bushiest, and you will l»e
answered in thn atUnnutivo. Tho truth is, that
Now Y'ork is the great rentnl resort for iho western
world of commorci •! adventurer* of every character,
from the honestly enterprising to tho most doxerout
ami doperate in fraud. That we should have a lar
ger proportiunof this latter chits ilian other alio* i*
not uml ly to ho expected from our |m*ition. That
tlio influence of tlioir oxnmplo should infect others
uml tend to lower the stnndurd of commercial motels
among u* j* at inovitabtees it is deplorable.
Tim American says that the true remedy forth*’
evil of defrauding the ret anno I* t|*' reduction nr ex
tinction of the tariff. We wish, f»r our own part,
that there was uot a custom house iu tlMiruuniry.—
That would give tlio fair trader ennui advantages

of tlio bin which remained, fur the most obscure

watchful sentinel is generally fast asleep, that is to
say, two. hours before baylireak. Being well
qiininted with tlio duration of ihcdifl'erent winches,
ami tlie times nt which tlie guard* went tlm rounds,
circumstance* which prisoners, even iiivuluntiirily
chiefly occupy themselves iu tiscertniiiing, he
watched tlm moment when about llirce-quartcrs of
the duty of the sentinel nearest him had expired,
and tin* man himself snug in his box to nv..id tho

to descend hunt by hunt, suspended between the

Britntinte Majesty'* frigate .^nmaraiig. On tho Nth
of Mnivh he suited from Islay, in Pent, and on Ilm
23d ne liu.l arrived m tin* Island of Puns in the river
nf Guayaquil, whence ho addressed the following
letter (in ulndract) to tlie Congress iff Bolivia, of
which republic lie hud been President fur ten years.
Senator* and Representative*:—Since l had the
honor to addi os* you my last message in Cocbuhum-
Im, (June, 1833.) extraordinary events huvo occur
red, which, changing entirely the as|iert of political
nfl'nirs, induced me, lust mouth, to abdicate uot only
my office of Protector of tim Confederacy, but al
so tlie Presidency of Buiivin. If, then, I now beg
your attention, it is nut in the chuructcr of first .Ma
gistrate of the Republic, hut it is with the object of
e.\|ffiiuing to you why 1 have ceased to he so, and to
justify my conduct to tho nation.
In July of lust your, whilst contemplating tho
menus of assembling a Congress of tho States nf
Peru, 1 learned iu Putin (-11 tho lake Titicucn) that
the second ux|M>dition hud suited from Chili to in*
vude ourcuusli, 1, therefore, thouriitof nothing but
to repel the invaders, We lmd no alternative.—
Y’mi ure aware, Senators, with what solicitude I en
deavored to effect peace with the Government of
Chili, nnd of the good faith with whiclt we laid
down oor nrnis after the treaty of Puncurpntu.—
Signal perfidy followed your generosity. Tlie war
with Cliili we never provoked
My effort* to organize tlie Confederation, nnd to
derive from it the advantages which it primmed,
constantly failed. A constant state of war suggest
ed the ideu that tiiis state was 11 necessary effect of
the new system, or that war aud the Confederation
were synonymous terms.
(The Protector then al!ude* to the revolution of
Gen. Orhegoso, whiclt followed iu Linn, und tho
capture of tliut city by the Chilians; their retire
ment, mul his pursuit to lluarus, iu tho northern
provinces.]
I will not' now suggest tho causes of tho failure of
our arms nt Ymigny. I cannot depart from an in
variable rule nf my conduct—nut to inculpate any
one. It is sufficient to Observe, that of 4,052 men
who composed our army, 1,521 ro osemhled in tlio
valley of Turmn. 1 retired to Lima and.Collun.
To repair our disaster nt Yungny, wo hnd uu army
of 3,(Jill) men, under Gudef Gen. Vigul, and 1,000
between Tut mu ami Ayuciiclm.
I arrived ut Arequifm, where I wns informed by
official communications from General Bolivian,
thnt 11 revolution would he effected ogainst mo in
La Pa* Oiuro and other departments, by the Boli
vian troops. lie also suggested to me the absolute
necessity of my nbscnco form tho country to avoid
a civil war. 1 did not hesitate n moment to adopt
the suggestion, I accordingly abdicated tho Protec
torate und the Presidency of Bolivia ut Areqiilpa'
I thence proceeded to tlio port, of Islay, where I
wns generously received by II. B. **' ' ’ ~
rang, und conveyed to this place.
Gen. Santa Cruz speaks of his ndmintstrntinn,
nml of tlie importance of the Confederation. • Ho
conclude# •
Although my absence may ho deemed necessary
for tho reposu and security of the country, yet, to
whatever purl of iho world my adverse destiny may
conduct ine, I shall over he ready t<> piV'sent myself,

The Mysterious Disappearance.—We hava
seen a loiter from Mr. Sti-enbergen, dated at New
York on Thursday, in which he states that he hnd
not been able to discover any traces nf Mr. Milter,
his former elerk. Mr. S. states that he found all
his pecuniary affiirs correct, nnd cannot discover
thnt any portion of the hirgcnmount of funds under
tho control ot Mr. Miller bos l«n*n ah-tracted. On
Tuesday, Mr Steenhergen states, he received a
trunk containing nil the paper# nnd document* lately
in Mr. Millet's hand*, which hnd he-n sent in New

The infirtoated men who liave thus opened th©
door* of their Churches to fanaticism, will live to.
mourn over their lark of wisdom. Better by far,
thin they should have clo«. d their churches for a,
twelvemonth, nnd compelled their parishoner* in
