' n(l this father-in-law turned his titMes’s back, and seized as the first ifs of hi treachery the territories hich belonged to the king of Saxony. No slander that could be used against them’ could attach so strongly as the recapitulation of their own acts—no •lander could be half so bad as re cital of their own conduct respecting Saxonv, Genoa and llagusa. No mean ness that could be attributed to them, weftt'kdf so low as their courting the alliance of that man by whom they had been dethroned. For conduct the op posite of these was Spain attacked ; but the Spaniards are brave, they have arihs at command. It gave him great pain to observe that that illustrious monarch the King of France, had for A moment yielded to pernicious counsels and arrayed himself against the liber-, ties'of Spain; but he hoped it was only a passing aberration from those sound principles by which he had been hith erto guided, and that those who had advised it would speedily be compelled to resign the situations which they held in his Council, either by his own act, or in consequence of the remonstran ces and in compliance with the wishes of the ration. He did repeat his hope, that although that accomplished Prince had in one instance yielded to the sug gestions of those parasites, his own •xcellent understanding would resume its influence, and that those odious measures in contemplation by him would be abandoned. He would ap peal to His Most Christian Majesty tri imitate the wisdom of the great Roman I philosopher and wise statesman, who, I instead of allying himself to foreign and barbarous aid, had recourse to freedom of the Roman Constitution,! and flung himself for protection ami support upon the good will of his pat riotic countrymen without dreaming of sending for Teutonics, Scythians, or other barbarians to assist him. lie j(Mr. Brougham) would venture to pre dict, that if the King of France shall avail himself of the assistance of mod ern Teutonics and Scythians, judg ment has gone forth against him and his family. The Constitution about to be assailed was one that otic red no provo cation to assault. It was an abuse of all language'to roll those efforts that led to irs Establishment an insurrec-j tion. He would insist that it was not i Spain or Portugal that these Allies i hated—it was not freedom upon the Ebro—it was not freedom upon the Minpio, that these despots luted—but freedom as such, freedom is the object of their enmity; and against freedom, no matter where it may exist, will their arms be turned. Freedom thev abhor~to all its institutions they are inimical, and they viewed it with the hatred and the malignity of demons, llut he lelt also, that as long as Eng land remains in her present position, | as idng as the British Parliament re-1 tained even that portion of independ ence which it yet enjoyed—for not withstanding the inroads that have been made Upon our liberties, we are Jet too free, we are yet too independ ent for those tyrants —and as long as the British Constitution diall exist, so j long shall this enun'ry remain the ob ject of the hatred and the jealousy of i tyrants, the*'Shield and support of the j but they do not limit them-J selves to mere hatred of principle, riuafc you, that if any tempting posi tibh oi neighboring territory attracted the desires of the Emperor Alexander, it would not bo in vs*n to send from Constantinople a deputation of Muftis, to prove that in defence of their claims they had considerable antiquity on their side ; that they knew nothing of disorganized institutions, and that they never had even such a thing as % dream ot fallacious philosophy? All their ar guments would be thrown away upon those three Gentlemen of Verona. Notwithstanding all their proofs of le gitimacy, the Emperor Alexander >Vould find it convenient, in a IVw months, to occupy the tempting terri tory; perhaps in the present instance he would content himself with Minorca. **he Emperor ol Austria might choose Something else, peihaps Prussia would be satisfied at a future occasion with puss ssio'n of llanoveri These matters being possible, he would con mid that it behoved every free nation f( * preveit such attempts. The duty 0 country was plain and obvious, pot rashly to engage in hostilities ;f,but all Our negotiations, never to suffer •to be perceived that*we could/ hy any possibility, b.J induced tri i< from our position. We are compelled to adopt that line bv the dele; -ivy treaty; for should Spain be overrun, where would the career of despotism; terminate? What was there to protect Portugal from invasion? The defence of that country did not depend upon an imaginary boundary* but in the Pyrenees. He Would not say that we ought to send an army to watch the movements of the French; but we ought to repeal at once the Foreign Enlistment Bill. Reserving all his for mer principles, he could not at the same time refrain from expressing his cordial approbation, nor from hoping for the unanimous co-operation of the House in the expression of satisfaction at what had been stated in the Speech from the throne, the sentiments ex pressed in which were honest and noble. He was convinced that the servants of the Crown would do their duty to their king, their country, to freedom, and to the world founded, as be their conduct, he trusted, upon a right vigw of our interests, and looking to free States as the best of all possible allies. Our duty was to keep peace if we could, and only suffer it to be broken when we must. If a contest were inevitable, we should enter into it determined to support with all our might, the interests of tiie Crown, and the riglTfs of human nature. Sir F. Burdctt rose principally for the purpose of expressing his acknowledgements, in union with those of his honorable and learned friend, for a Speech, perhaps as able and constitutional as that I louse had ever heard pronounced. He trusted His Majesty’s Ministers would hold their course, and that they would not shrink from the po sition they had taken. Laying aside all considerations of agricultural or other distress, on which however he reserved his opinions, he wished to declare his participation in e very feeling winch his honorable am? learned f, itntl had expressed. Ad miring the wisdom and force of reasoning, as well as the discretion, virtue and patriotism displayed by him—he (div'Francis 3urdett) was convinced that there was n > English heart that would not iVeiivs lie did, grateful for his exertions in endea voring to avert from d.e world those evils with which its liberties were menaced. He would not sit down without declaring also the extreme pleasure ho had felt at the senti ments expressed by the - honorable movtr and the gallant seconder of the Address, anti hoped that the re sult would be an unanimous vote to His Majesty, width would prove that he had t*nly to consult his dwn dignity and the principles of free dom, in order to insure that which had been rarely witnessed—an uni ted Parliament and an united people. :rs3tt’ jka'wors i ♦Monday, A\n\\ 2s, 1823. (£J” Three or four News-papers were stolen out of a bundle mailed at this place a short time ago, and directed to. Louisville, Geo. YY r here this felony was committed we can not tell, but if people are so anxious to read News-papers vft think they would do well to subscribe for them. Moat of tlie Editors in the United States are engaged in discussing the justice of the claims of the present candidates for the Presidency.— From what has been said on the sub ject it appears that the onlv’ means of preventing the election go ing'into the House of Representa tives, will be a choice bv a conjrres sional caucus. Much as our senti ments are opposed to caucus nom inations, we would prefer it in this instance as the lesser c\il of the two. COMMUNICATED. No. 11. Mr. Robertson : Having viewed most of the western part of this state in search of a place to make money, (as’ that is what most ot us go for these hard times,) I have finally settled myself in the vicinity of your little town; and mv business requires that I should Ik often there. By this means I have find ah opportu nity of becoming acquainted with some of the manners of its inha bitants. There is one practice among the people that I could not help noticing, as it is carried to a greater degree of perfection (if per fection belongs to the like) than 1 have known it in any other part of the world. The practice 1 am speaking of is profane swearing.— From whence does it proceed .? If this question was asked the swear* er, what answer will he be able to give to it ? Will he dare pretend that it is the force of habit? He cannot—for how came he to com mence it? Habit had no influence on him till lie assumed it:- neither would it ever have had any if he had hot given hitnself some trou ble to get into the practice. No— the truth is, that it is to be attribu ted either to custom or a natural propensity to do evil. There is perhaps, less show of or gratification to be obt'hijted .bv swearing than any other vice; practiced , and yet our ears are continually stunned by the sounds of the most horrid imprecations that the imaginations of wicked men and devils can invent. But perhaps you are ready to ask “ by whom is this vice followed to such nn extent?” By all classes of peb* ! pie, from those who are looked up J to as the principal leaders in soci j ety, down to the little negro hoys iroys anti girls just old enough to run cn errands. Not to say any thing of the dreadful account that must be giv en before Him who “ will not hold him guiltless who taketh his name in vain:” How much does it di mmish the hearer’s confidence in jvhat is said! If your sentiments on this subject, Mr Editor, are like mine, when you hear a strager relate any thihg that corresponds with probability, you believe what he has stated to be the truth ! But when a minute afterwards you hear him swear to the truth of what he ! has related, doubt immediately j takes possesion of vour mind, and you are left in as much uncertainty as before lie had opened his mouth. Yea, if a nian of notorious veraci ty swears to what lie'lias said, I at once doubt th'E truth of it; for it shows that lie suspects me of with holdiag my ciecjeqceg’ Again—swearing is not one of the ao omplishments that makes the /rentl?mna —let me not be un derstood here to say tho e who are in the habit of swearing are not gentlemen. I would by no means make such an assertion. But it j they arc gentlemen, it is not swear ing that constitutes them such by any means. But because some who are gentlemen possessing ac complishments Worthy of imitation, have been likewise in this degra ding habit of swearing ; others in lower classes in society have thought it impossible to reach a sta tion fully equal to their prototype without this master-pieoe of polite ness, and have actually dragged themselves into the habit. I write, Mr. Editor, not to irri tate* but if possible to shed* the swearer the hideous shape of his ,habit, that he may draw his own conclusion of its folly. And should my feeble effort be a means of bringing one individual to see this shameful practice in its true light, and thereby cause him to forsake it, I will think myself amply rewarded for my labour. OBSERVER. COMMUNICATED. No. 11. . J; . Mr. Robert son, * At the lime of writing our first essay, we had determined not to obtrude ourselves again on the public. But wc have been induced to alter our original intentions from a multiplicity of causes. Ist. Because it suits our inclina tion, (which we invariably consult.) 2d. Because our first number seems have taken rcry well. 3d. * ause we believe we can greatly edifv our neighbours, and 4th. Because we have been in formed that a discontinuance on our part would be productive of se rious consequences, as many young men, who have never been known to read any thing rince their primer and horn book , have of late become wonderfully studious, and evince a great partiality for the Messenger : but since we have left off writing, seem likely to relapse into their pristine itatc of ennv? and idleness. \\\* have seen something like this jurselws—lor, when some of om readers last week inquired if “ Ce s'.jr wrote again in the Messenger,” and were answered in the negative, their coontenani.es lowered, arid they betrayed the most evident symptoms of regret and disappoint ment. From a concatenation of such circumstances, we have lAen induced to change our intention, and recommence our work, and shall therefore write for the edifi cation of the public, and our own amusement, whenever it “jumps with our humor.” But in saving that we have recommenced our work y we would not have you or our most credulous readers to deceive yourselves so egregiously as to sup pose wc mean labour. By no means. For, although we believe we can greatly edify our neighbours hy our well-meant lucubrations, and not withstanding our philanthropic dis position, it it cost one of us a sin gle effort to write, we fear that our friends and readeis would be depri ved of our excellent admonitions- Our fit st No. has met with a very f a * vorable teccption. Nay, it has been productive of greater good than wc could reasonably expect. For we know tins to be “ a wicked and pier’ erse generation,” and but little inch ned to receive advice—ours has been peculiarly fortunate. Our re cipes for making beaux and belles have been universally received and adopted by all who did not know as much us ourselve., and pursue the same course before we wrote. Gre at competition seems now to ex ist between the fashionables of froth sexes, each being emulous to excel the other in the works of folly.— Some of our females being over ‘Zealous in the cause, dress sc ’udi crously ambiguous, as-tO'Tender it extremely difficult, if not altogeth er impossible, for the minutest ob server, to tell which they most re semble, a witch ora nun. A:ul one we have seen, who has mistaken us altogether , for being solicitous to strain themselves up fashionably, has taken a hoard at least ah half inch thick, for a corset, which makes a most equivocal appearance.. Now, this is-not what we wish—we would have our readers to imitate the city fashions as much as possi ble and use steel* wliifrh is more elastic than wood, and would not render it utterly impossible for the subject to stoop down io pick up her 1 handkerchief. Others too seem in spired with martial ardour, as thev accoutre themselves with <*ap and feathers, and make by far a more formidable appearance thari the an cient Amazons. Some of our ex quisites also have improved greatly since the appearance of Our first number. One in particular vve have noticed, who to “ stiffen his heck well with cravats” used four, and having the widest next to his neck, aiul tiie others being, successivelv narrovver, so arranged them that each shewed itself, and what we think added greatly to his appear ance, the outside one was red.— Now red is a colour to which we always were peculiarly partial, merely for the sake of old England, whence vve derived our origin, and our most absurd fashions. Persist ye imitative souls ! In the course you have commenced he not dis mayed because the finger of scorn is occasionally pointed at you ; be not deterred from the trackless ma zes of folly because you may some times become the objects of ridi cule for the respectable. Persist, and when we are at the head of af fairs, vou shall each and every one be amply remunerated for your trouble. CENSOR & CO. News has been received in New- York from England ns late as 11th March. It was the report of the day that hostilities had commenced on the continent, but that no decla ration of war was made —no par ticulars are stated. BALTIMORE, APRIL 4. By a gentleman who arrived here yesterday in the Gen. jackson, wc learn that the military us Havana, were in a very disaffected state; that the governor had but very little, confidence ir t either the white or black part of them, and had ordered the forts to be garrisoned by each alternately. The people were much enraged at the idea of being “ sold to England”—-a large part of them are anxious to place, themselves un der the protection of the United Stages- The populace boast much of hav ing stoned the boats crew of the dp.irk, and openly avow their deter mination of assassinating Com. Por ter or any of his officers, should they land in Havana. “ Piratical goods” (as they are thete termed) of every description are publicly offered for sale in the city. One of the crew of the Patriot privateer, Free Laguirian which was captured some time ago by a Spanish man of war, arrived in the Gen. Jackson —he effected his es cape by bribing the guards. Mexico.— -Mexican dates to the 13th of March are deceived in, New York. ‘I he Republican partiv.au leaders were concentrating their forces at Puebla, for the purpose of attacking the Emperor in Mexico* who has about 2000 men attached to him with the Indian population generally in his fa voir, but the gen eral opinion appeared to he that there would be no fighting, and that the Emperor would soon either seek his personal safety by flight or make some arrangement with the Republicans by which he may be permitted to retire as a private citizen. Sav. Geo. Several bones, resembling in size and appearance those of the Mam moth, have been found on Skidway Island, near Sivannah. The Bdston Ccntinel, in advoca cating Mr. Otis’ pretensions to the gubernatorial chair, and‘defending the measures of ihe'Hartfofd Con vention, thus feelingly proclaims the merit of that august assembly : “ The Hartford Convention did not ruin our rising Navy by sub stituting the paltry, gunboats and imaginary dry docks—-It did not destroy our flourishing and pros perous commence, bv embargoes and non intercourse—lt did not in.- vo.vc tlie country in an unnecessa ry and useless war, for sailor’s rights, which filled foreign prisons with the sailors themselves—lt did rot saddle the nation with adebt of fifty millions of which we have got nothing to show—Such things did not the Hartford Convention.” The Savannah Republican makes the following addition to the above list. The Hanford Convention did not give our rising Navy an opportuni nity of acquiring a glory unexam pled in the annals of national war tare. It did not secure for our commerce protection upon princi ples that dare never again he inva- # tied. It did not establish the rights of our sailors upon a basis as impe rishable as their fame. It did not rejoice at the success of our arms cither a# sea, or on land, hut pro claimed such rejoicing unworthy ol a religious and moral people. It did not resist the attacks of the in vaders of our country, but contem plated a coalition with our enemies, which was happily frustrated by the wisdom and energy of the govern ment. It did not rejoice at the peace, effected when our arms were every where victorious; because i; reflected a halo of glory around our administration and secured to us all the blessings for which freemen should contend. 1 hese are some little things that it left undone. Its great sir.s of .commission were only in embryo —thanks to its weakness t not its will. •Maryied In this town on the 27th inst, by John W.
