“ CATCH A WKA8HI, AHL5EJ 1 ."

a small Woop forth* purpose of celebrating
the fourth »f July,at the Capes ut the De
laware. i On reaching the pi ace, however,
they were unable to realize their anticipa
ted enjoyment, and being full of gin and
independence, they, after weighty deliber
atiou, resolved upon cruising in pursuit of
adventures. Their stores were ample, aud
having appointed a"Commodore,” they set
tail with “buoyaut-hearts aod spirits free
as air.”
After cruising for some time without
success, the U. S. schr. Weasel hove in

its of their commodore, the hope of accom
plisiiing something worthy of himself, 1

he first beheld his destined prey, wounding

But when within mu6ket.9bot, the Commo

distinguishes, our American commanders,
ordered the schr. to send her papers aboard
immediately, or dread impending ruin.
Capt. Z mizinger, who was at a loos to un-
-derstand the nature of the demand, mani
fested, as the Commodore thought some re
Juctance in complying, when,In order to
enforce obedience to ibis modest request, a
musket was fired from the cabin window of
the sloop. Capt. Z. unwilling that the
commodore should have all the fun ou his

up of the smoke, the pot-valor of our coin

The boat was then sent aboard, not with
papers, but with orders to bring the Comma

WILLIAM H. CHAW FORD.
This statesman, like the patriarch Jeffer
son, appears destined to encounter the vile
persecutions and bitter reproaches of de
signing partisans; but it is pleasant to pre-
ceive that he is in good hands.
Mr Crawford has uniformly been out
first choice tor the Presidency.Our attach
ment existed before we commenced our
(editorial labors,and it bas gradually streng
thened as the groundless charge* against
jiim have accumulated; in rebutting accusa
tions, which our long residence iu the State
to which he belongs enabled as to know the
falsity of, our feelings become warmly and
willingly enlisted iu his behalf. If he bad
(in our opinion) been justly dealt by, we
should perhaps have been as likely to have
^elected another candidate. We have been
his disinterested and unsolicited friend
and advocate. We anticipate no benefit
from his success, other than every citizen,
(n common with us, will enjoy. Twice have
the A. B.” men arraigned his public con
duct before a committee, and twice has he
been honorably acquitted; a tnirdtiine he
|« arraigned before the bar of the nation,
after having openly defied the malice of
bis enemies. We are not so cold hearted
as to abandon bun while beset by Philis
tines; bn the contrary, we are non
more anxious for him; besides, we
confidence in bis integrity .and believe that,
like pure gold, tbeoftener be is tried the

Pedettrain Feat.—At Brooklyn, (L. L)
-*m Saturday afternoon, a young man, a hat
ter, of the name of Stewart, for a trifling
wager, (the eggs only, it was said) picked
up and deposited in a half bushel, one hun

Stooped to the ground and turned about two

Or, Sruollei,—An esteemed correspondent has
handed us an original letter of Doctor Smou.it,
to Kick,id Smith, Esq. formerly of Burlington,
N. J. and brother of toe Historian of New York
and New Jersey .—It is a literary curiosity, and
the more so to us, «s it ia in some measure con
nected with our own country.—We presume
that Mr Hivinostou mentioned in the letter,
was the King's printer in N. York. We are not,
aware that this letter was published t if not, it is
worthy of being mads known, as it contains a
brief outline of the lifts and family of Satou.iT
by himself — .bo-ora.
Sir.—1 am favored with yours of the 26th of
February, and cannot but be pleased to find my
self aa a writer so high in your esteem. The
curiosity you express with regard to the par
tioulars of my life, and the variety of situations
in which I may have been, cannot be gratified
within the compass of a letter. Besides there
are some particulars of my life which it would ill
become me to relate. The only similitude be
tween the circumstances of my own fortune and
those I have attributed to Roderick Random,
consists of my being born of a respectable family
in Scotland, in being bred a surgeon, and having
served as a surgeon's mate on board of a man of
war, during the expedition to Carthagena The
low situations in which I have exhibited Rode
rick, I never experienced in my own person. 1
married very young, a 'native of .lamaics,
young lady well known and universally respect
ed, underthe name of Miss Nancy Lassclls, and
by her I enjoy a comfortable though moderate
estate in that Island. I practised surgery in
London, after liaviug improved myself in travel
ling in France and other foreign countries, till
the year (49,) when 1 took my degree of Doc
tor of Medicine, and have lived ever since in
Chelsea, I hope with credit and reputation. No
man knows better than Mr. Uivington what
time 1 employed in writing the four first vol
umes of the History Of England, and indeed the
short period in which that work was finished ap
pears almost incredible to myself, when 1 recol
lect that I turned over and consulted above
three hundred volumes in the course of my la
bor. Mr. Uivington likewise knows that l spent
the best part of a year in revising, correcting
and improving the quarto Edition wbich is now-
going to press. And wltifch will be continued
in the tame size to the late peace.
Whatever reputation I may have got hy this
work has been dearly bought by the loss of
health, which 1 am of opinion 1 shall never re.
trieve. 1 am now going to the South of France,
in order to try the effects of that climate, and
very probably shall never return.
1 am very much obliged to you for the hope
you express that l have obtained some provision
from his Majesty, but the truth is, I have neither
peusiunnor placet nor am I of that disposition
which can stooo to solicit either. I have always
picqyed myself upon my independence, and I
trust in God | shall preserve it to my dying day.
Exclusive of some smsll detached performances
that I have published occasionally to papers and
magazines, the following is a genuine list of my
productionin—Roderick Random, the Regicide,
(a Tragedy,) a translation of Gil Biss, a transla
tion of Don Quixote, an Essay upon the External
Use of Water, Peregrine Fickle, Ferdinand
Count Fathom, great part of the Critical Review,
a very small pavt of a Compendium of Voyages,
the complete History of England, and continua
tion, a small part of the Modem Universal Histo
ry, some pieces in the British Magazine compre
hending the whole of 8ir LaunceTot Greaves, i
small part of the translation of Voltaire’s works,
Historical and Critical, to be found in the trans
lation.
I am much mortified to find it is believed in
America that I have lent my name to Uooksel
ters: that is a species of prostitution of which I
am altogether incapable. I had engaged with
Mr Rivington, ami made some progression in a
work which I shall finish if I recover my health
If you should see Mr Uivington, please give my
kindest compliments to him, tell him I wish him
all manner of happiness, though I have little to
expect from my own share, having lost my only
child, a fine girl of fifteen, whose death has o-
vcrwhelmed myself and wife with unutterable
sorrow.
I have now complied with your request, and
beg in my turn you will commend me to all my
friends in America. I have endeavored more
than once to do the Colonies some good,

Law of 1818 a higher rate of interest than
S percent, is not recoverable on any contract
except those which expressly stipulate for
t he payment of higher interest from the
date, and then only to the time fixed for
