In purfuiog; tfi jouiney of human
lira, many and various are the dangers
to which mankind are expofied. Im
pending clGuds, continually hovering
over anti c. round our heads, fe.rr big
with deftru&ion, while a thousand
snares hrneath are always ready to
entaogie the unwary passenger. How
ever fond our hope', or delightful an
ticipations, full they are always liable
to be bki(led ; always dubious and un
certain; the viHims of every untow
ard wind, and the (port cf every riling
['floras. The paths, through which tee
wander, are not {trowed with roses.
Here and there an uncultivated flower
iappears; blooms a while under the
genial influence cf the morning ze
phyr, and droops and dies beneath the
fcorehing beams of the meridian lun.
Our pkafuies and enjoyments are as
transient as the v-ifious of night; our
ideas of happstu ls as delusive as the
idle phantom that mocks the wander
ing, difeurbed imagination. Where
weantetnpt to gather arose, we arc
wounded by the thorn it conceals, and
where we look for the lovely jeffia
niine, intruding weeds and briars de
frroy our fond erpe&ations. Difap
pointmentssvc our common lot; mis
fortunes our ihlicntance ; adversity
our attendant ; and despair too free
quendy proves our only pbyfician.—
Liappintfs iv confine i- within narrow
limits; and by teafon of the contraD

small par* of mankind ever receive
the {miles of benignity. But although
such are the woes, and the tniferies at

those whirlwinds which ftp re ad devas

banish peace and happiness from foci
cty —whirlwinds more fare in their
pregrefs—more fatal in their tenden
cy, than those which lay wade the
earth amid ft the universal uproar oi
nature, and the ragiogwat ofeiemer.ts.
It is b-ccatife there is so much •felfifh--
uefs, coldm-G, avarice and mifan thro -

in our world. It is becauffi beings

bespeaks the auency cf Omnipotence,
and whose ni'-.ids are capable o receiv

hopes to the trilling particle of petifh

knowing no objv-Cls of praise or ado
ration, except ihc feenesof their vice
and the temples of their profane orgies.
To such character happiness is repug

igence, our earth will present feenes
of woe and miferv.

the tear of the unhappy orphan, and
the groans of the distressed widow.-—-
Vice, united v i h wealth, b?s been
extolled to the clouds ; and poor des

compelled to wander obfcuiity. Ihs
child of sorrow has been insulted by

You will much oblige me by giving
the following a place in your paper.
On my voyage from Lisbon t- Kot-.
tercaoo, in the schooner Traveller, of
this-port, I loft m it of my fails and
fparrs, and was obliged 10 put into bt.
Martin’s Reads, Ificjde Rue. A few
days after which, I loaded a craft for
the phrpofe of lightening ray vtflel to
go into dock. Duiing ihc* night ot the
day flie was loaded, ihc was cut out
u by a boat from his majefb-’s (loop
■i war Hazard, Charles Dilk.es, eq.
oinraandtir ; finding the craft milling
in tae morning I went on board the
: < hip(fhs laying at anchor in the Road*)
and was received with the greatest p >-
iuene-Ci. After informing cap: no
Dlikes that tiie veuel and c-rgo v;-.s
neutral prcT.erty, he obs rved to me,
tnai being found on hoard a French
registered ytffici it could be ccnfi ier
ed nothing c!fe than French property
and that He should date:mine oi\ r.a
ihiog until be received advice f}pm
ihe admit 1 (iviag cr. the other lufroV

went on beard, when he informed ne
he had cyme to no conciufion; {Hat.
he then con fide red ii lawfully a prir. ,
but ihouftd he determine on returning
the property he would make a fignai..
1 wo days alter, feeing the appoint
ed signal dying, I lent my mate on
board; but it proved to be a signal to
another ffitp of war lying there; he
however said that the admiral had left
the affair difcreuonaf with him, but
that cn fudpofiuon of ray being rue
fufferer, fh)uld he keep the pr >p* sty,
lie gcnerouUv returned nec only me
cargo, but lb * craft, together with four
French pi Tuners; for which I take
this method of returning bun my fiu
ccre thank}.
In eoiifequcnce of my ccrng on

acre Red and veflel and cargo taken as.
