COMMODORE BARNEY.
“The old Commodore,
Tiie fighting old Commodore, he.”
No old Triton who has passed his calms
under the bows of the long boat could say of
Joshua Barney that he came into a master’s
birth through the 'abin windows. He began
r.t tiic rudiments, and well he understood
the science. All his predilections were for
sea. Having deserted the counting room,
young Barney, at the ago of I'.’. was •’ iced
tor nautical instruction in a pilot boat at
Baltimore, till he was apprenticed to his bro
ther in !.\\v. At the age of 14,he was appoin
ted second mate, with the approbation of the
owner, and before be was 16, be was called
upon to take charge of his ship at sea, in
which the master died. This was on a voy
age to Nice. The ship was in encii a state
that it was barely posihlc to make Gibraltar,
when tor necesary supplies he pledged her
tor £7OO, to be repaid by the consignees at
Nice, who however declined, and called in
the aid of the Governor, to compel Barney to
deliver tho cargo, which he refused to do.
He was imprisoned, but set at large on some
intimation that be would do as desired, but
when he came on board, he struck his Hag,
and removed tho crew, choosing to consider
his vessel as captured. He then set out for
Milan, to solicit the aid of the British Am
bassador there, in which he succeeded so well,
that the authorities of Nice met him on his
return to apologise for their conduct. The
consignee'paid the bond, and Burney sailed
for Alicar.t, where his vessel was destined
for the use of tho great armada, the lining
out against Algiers, the fate of which was
total and shameful defeat. On his return
home, his employer was so well satisfied with
his conduct, ihat he become his firm friend
ever attcr. Ho soon offered himself as second
in command pn board the sloop Hornet of
10 guns, one of two vessels then preparcing
lor a cruise under Commodore Hopkins; for
ti;is was in the early stage of tho revolution.
V l? sloop fell in with a British tender, which
t he might have captured, but for the timidity
of the American captain. The tender mis
taking her enemy, ran along side and exposed
herself to much danger. Barney stood by
cue o, the guns as tho enemy came near, ami
was about to apply the match, when the hold
commander commanded him to desist. Bar
nev, whose spirit revolted at such a course,
threw his match stick at the captain, and
the iron point stuck in tho door of the round
house. I'hH, in a youth not seventeen, argued
well for the pugnacity of the man. At the
* r d ol this cruise, he volunteered on board
the schooner Wasp, in which lie soon had
ti brush w ith the Roebuck and another fri
gate,and with tho aid of some gallics in which
lie had a command, the enemy was forced to
retire, with more loss than honor. Barney,
lor his good conduct in this affair, wasappoint
cd to tho command of the sloop-Sachem, with
the commission of Lieutenam, before he was
seventeen. Before tho cruise, howerer,
Lapt. R<\ .uson took command of the
hachcm, which coun had an action with a
1 'lter ot marque of superior fore© and num
bers. It was well contested, and nearly half
of the crow of the brig was killed or wounded.
In about two hours tlie letter of marquo struck.
The captors secured a valuable prize, in a
cargo of rum, and also a magnificent turtle,
intended as a present to Lord North, whose
name was marked on tlio'shcll. This accep
table West Indian, Lieutenant Barney
presented to a better mail than it had been
designed for. For he gave it to the Hon. R.
Morris. On tiic return of the Sachem, lioili
officers wero truiLsiercd to u. fine bri** of 14 j
guns, the Andrew Doria, which forthwith 1
captured the Racehorse, of 13 guns and a
picked crciv.—This vessel was of the Royal
Navy ; and had been detached by the Admiral
purposely to take the Doria; but, saith tho
proverb: ‘-If two men ride the same horse,
one must ride behind.”
On this voyage a snow was enptuicd, in
which the Lieutenant went as prize master,
making up his crew partly of tho prisoners.
Being hard by an enemy’s ship, lie discovrcd
signs of mutiny among his crew, and shot
the ringleader in the shoulder ; a proceeding
that offered so little encouragement to his
comrades, tnatthey obeyed orders, and made
sail, but it was too late to escape. The purser
of the frigato which captured him, was on a.
suh quent occasion, so much excited as to
strike Barney, who knocked him down, and
went further in his resentment than fair fright
ing permits, lor lie kicked him down 'die
gangway. The Commander obliged the
purser to apologize to Barney. lluvTng been
captured in tho Virginia frigate, which ran
aground at the Capes, and was deserted by
her commander, Barney, with 500 other pris
oners was sent round, in the St. Albans frigate,
tN. York. As the prisoners were double
in nurnble to the crew, Barney formed a
plan of taking possession of the ship, which
was defeated or prevented, by the treacbcrv
of a Frenchman,
“O for a curse to kill the slave,
V. hose treason, like a deadly blight
Cornea cVr ths councils of tho brave,
'I oblast them in -their hour of might.”
Harney was a prisoner at Nuw York for
fvy months, after which lie- took the command
of a .schooner-of two guns and eight men,
with a cargo of tobacco for .St. Eustatia, foi
Lc was better pleased to do a little than to do
irothing, lie was however, taken, after a,
running fight, by boarding, by a privateer of
and large guns and C<J men. His next cruise
was with his friend Robinson, in his private
hip of ten guns and thirty five men, in which
1 hej* encountered the Rritish privateer Jio.se
t i;d of 1G guns and l”fl men.—On the return
a letter of Marque of 1G guns and 70 men
was captured. The Lieutenant had now prize
Shonev enough to he converted,on his return,
into large bundles ot continental bilks, which
4>p stored aNvay in a chair box, on taking a
journey, hut which ho could not find when
•l.n rr v, and a< his destination. He knew his
CWn.secret, however, and went to sea again,
/ecomi in command of the United States
rhijj.'jMtog.i.of 1(5 nine poumb rs. The first I
was chip of captured aficrt
au action of a few minutes. On the next day,
the Saratoga hoisted English colors and came
along side which had two brigs in company,
then running up the American ensign, she
poured in a broadside, when Lieutenant
Barney, with 50 men, boarded the enemy.
The immediate result was, the conquest of a
ship of 53 guns and 60 men. The ttvo brigs,
one of 14 and the other of 4 guns, were also
captured. The division of prize money would
have made the ofliccrs rich, but no division
took place, for all but the Saratoga were cap
tured by ii seventy-four, and several frigates.
Lieutenant Barney was furnished with bed
and board, on deck, and with him, bed and
board, were synonymous terms, but he was
allowed to choose the softest plank he could
find. In England he was confined in prison,
from which ho escaped, and after various
adventures, arrived in Beverly, Massachu
setts, and as soon as he was oll'ered
the command of a privateer of 20 guns. On
Ilia arrival at Philladelpliia, he accepted the
command of one of the several vessels, [cruis
ing against the enemy’s barges, and the
refugee boats, that infested the Delaware
River and Bay, His ship was the Hydcr
Ally, a small vessel of 16 six-peundcis. As
a superior vessel of the enemy was approach
ing. Barney directed bis steersman to inter
pret his command by th c rule of contraries.
When tho enemy were ranging alongside,
Barney cried out, “Hard a-port” The helms-
man clapped the helm • the oilier way,
and the enemy’s jib boom caught in the fore
riggmg,and held her in u position to be raked,;
and never was the operation of raking more
: suddenly or more effectually performed.
I The British flag came down in less than half
an hour, and the captors made little delay
for compliments, for a frigate from the enemy
.vV’ns rapidly approaching.—The prize was
the general Monk, of the Royal Navy, with
30 nine pounders, ami 130 nu n, nearly
double the force and metal of the captors.
After the peace Commandore Barney made
a partial settlement in Kentucky, and became
a favorite with the bold hunters oi that plea
sant land. lie was appointed Clerk of the
District Court of Maryland, and also an auc
tioneer. lie also engaged in Commerce, when
his business led him to Cape Francois during
the insurrection, and where ho armed his
crew, and fought his way, to carry ol? some
specie which he had secreted in barrels of
coffee.
On iiis return ho wag captured by a pirate,
which called herself an English privateer.
Barney, however, was a bad prisoner, and
with a couple of his hands, rose upon the
buccaneers and captured their ship. In this
situation it was no time for Argus himself
to sleep, with more than an eye at a time,
i'he Commodore slept only by day in an arm
chair on deck, with iiis sword between his
legs, and pistols in his belt, while his cook
I and boatswain, well armed stood the watch j
at his side. On another occasion, he was i
captured in the West Indies, by an Engish j
frigate, where ho received the usual British !
courtesics.and was tried in Jamaica for piracy,;
&c. It is needless to say that, though in an
enemy’s country, he was acquitted by accla
mation. This accusation originated with tho
commander of the frigate, who, however,
prudently kept out of sight; though an offi
cer in tho same frigate,expressed at a Coffee
House, a desire to meet Barney, without
knowing that lie* was present, that he might
have an opportunity to settle accounts with
the rascal. The rascal bestowed upon the
officer the compliments that were usual with
him on such occasions, and tweaked that
part of his head that is so prominent in an i
elephant.
\V e cannot follow the Commodore through
his subsequent fortunes and adventures, but
refer V> tho hook for a more interesting ac
count of them. In France he received the
hug fraternal of the President at the Con
vention, and the commission of captain of
the highest grade in the Navy. 110 fitted
out several vessels of his own to harass the
British trade, in which he was \ cry success
ful. Ho recieved the command of two fri
gates, which were almost totally wrecked in
a storm, though ho succeeded iu saving
them. In the last war, his services are more
immediately in our memories. The Memoir
of Commodore Barney, from which these
particulars are taken, is just published by
Gray A Bowen, and it i3 a valuable addition
to our naval biography.
‘ THE POOR INDIANS. 1
AH remember what a fuss, has been made
about ‘the poor Indians.’ It was insisted on
that Georgia should sutler them to erect an
independent government within her territory,
&c. &c. Thus was all for political effect, and
arose in a degree from a meddling disposition
on the part of the self-righteous, to interfere
in other men’s affairs. Under the belief that
these people really desired to raise tire moral
character and standing of the Aborigines,
William Apes, an educated Indian, ot a good
deal of native talent, a descendant of the Abo
rigines of this State, lias taken up preaching,
and made himself somewhat conspicuous by
his activity in the Missionary and Gospel
cause. This seems to have given umbrage to
some of the church brethren, and this ‘ poor
Indian’ is to be hunted down. We see in the
i Gazette, one John Reynolds has taken up the
gauntlet against the Rev. Mr. Apes, and gives
what purports to be copies oflcttcra from oth
ers, denouncing him. The crimes alleged
against Apes, are, first, that he‘pushed for flic
highest seat in the synagogue:’ secondly, he
is charged with a wish to be great. ‘"The
would be great Mr. Apes,’ says John Van
Horne—this is blowing the Horn at the little
end. Now, if Apes were a w lute man, this
ambition would be called laudable. Wc know
little of Mr. Apes, but if nothing worse can
lie brought against him, than is published in j
the Gazette, it will look very like persecution
of the ‘poor Indian,’ by the self-sty led frit nds
of the‘poor Indian.’ Wo gay, let Mr. Apes
have Clio ‘highest place in the synagogue’ if
ho deserve it and can fairly reach it ; and let
him be‘the great Mr. Apes,’ if he would he.

OF THU
MONTHLY JOURNAL
OF
POLITICAL ECO.^OIIY.
rrMIAT a taste for the study of Political Econo
-- my, as a science, is gradually extending in
| the United States, in every where exhibited, by
* tho attention devotod to that branch of it which
j relates to commercial restrictions, by the number
of Literary Institutions in which Professorships
J have been established for its promulgation, and
j bv the fact, that, within a few years, no less than
i lour editions of Say’s treatise on Political Econo
jmy have been published in this country, and
sold. To cherish, and to administer to, this
I taste, ought to oe considered as an object w'ell
; worthy of tiic regard of all those who desire to
see the Legislation of the country, whether in the
Halls of Congress, or in those of our .State Gov
ernments, conducted with wisdom and skll: for
nothing is more clear than that Legislation is a
complicated is a complicated science, requiring
study and reflection, and not a mere gift of intui
tion.
Nor is Political Economy limited to a simple
question ofa Tariff of Duties, as many persons
have hastily supposed. It ranges the wide field
of investigation which relates to Population, to
Internal Improvements, to Currency, to Coinage,
to Banking, to Exchange, to Exchange, to Fi
nances to the Administration of the Poor-Laws,
and to many other public concerns —especially
fliose which are connected with Agriculture,
Commerce, and Manufactures—and touches so
closely upon all the pursuits of life, not even ex
cepting tiie humble but important one of domestic
economy , that it may be justly entitled the science
which leach the rules to make families, as well
a communities, prosperous aud happy. Unfortun
ately, in the United States, circumstances have,
of late years, occurred, to create a prejudice
against this science; and, consequently, to pre
vent that general attention to its study which its
importance merits. .Such prejudice, however,’
nnut, sooner or later, be dispelled—and the day
is probably, not very distant, when Political
Economy will become a branch ofpopular educa
tion ; being, as it is, eminently adapted to pro
mote the welfar of the human race?
It can hardly be doubled, that, to the existence
of this prejudice is due, in a great degree, the
very limited number of European works on Po
litical Economy, which have been republished iu
this country. The English press has produced,
and is constantly producing, works, in pamphlet
form, or in small volumes, upon the various
bra'ncoes of the science, which do not reach more
than a dozen or twenty individuals, perhaps, in
tho United States, who have standing orders
nproad for their trasmission. Many Tf these
works are of a high order, and contain matter as
useful te an American reader as to an English
one; but no publisher offers to put them to the
press, because a sufficisnt number of subscriber
cannot raadily be found to warrant the expenses
of publication.
It is mainly with the view of laying before the
American Public the class of works which we
allude, that the publication now oft'ered to the
community has been projected ; and, in respect
fully inviting for it the patronage of our follow
citizens, we submit to them Hie following
TER M S :
1. Tho Journal of Political Economy will bn
published monthly, and will contain, upon.'an
average, SO pages octavo, printed upon paper of
the quality and size usually employed for the
Reviews, making a semi-annual volume ef 480
pages, including an Index* It is said upon an
average, because, in some cages, the length of a
publication may occupy more than 80 pages; and
rather than divide it into two, a greater number of
pages will be used; m which case, the followidg
publication will contain a less number.
2. It will be chiefly devoted to such foreign
panipnlets, treatises, lectures, and other publica
tions, npon the various branches of Political
Economy, as may be distinguished for their
superiority, and to such notices of the larger class
of books, as may enabled the American reader
to become acquainted with all the important
works which may appear abroad.
3. Ihe subjects ot Hanking and Currency, will
receive particular attention in the selections;
and, as an earnest ot this promise, the Editor in
tends to give, in the earliest numbers of the Jour
nal, the celebrated Report'd'the Bullion Com
mittee, nt;*de to Parliament in tho year 1810, and
the masterly work of Mr. Hnskisson, entitled
“ Tjie Question concerning the Depreciation of
our Currency, stated and examined,” published
in that same year.
4. Original articles. Lectures, and Reviews of
Works on Political Economy, wholly scientific,
and exempt from party politics, oY sectional
views, will constitute a portion of its contents.
5. The first No. will appear on the first dav
of January next. The price will be Five Lallan
per annua.’, payable on receipt of the first num
ber, annually thereafter in advance ,• and no sub
scription will be taken lor a less term than one
year.
6. The work will he transmitted to subscri
bers, not residing in Philadelphia, by mail: and
all postages are to he paid by them, except upon
Utters enclosing Jive dollars and upwhrds.
7. All communications are to be addressed,
and all payments are to bo made, direct to the
subscriber, who will he responsible for the safe
transmission ot money by mail, and will forward

out reserve will be put in the hands of Officers
for collection ; also, many small demands of short
standing—those I mean who feel indignant at a
.dun, thinking if it is done in an officer-like man
ner it will be more satisfactory to them, and less
trouble to me; and notwithstanding, many, of
those long-winded gentry threaten me with the
loss of their patronage, I will only remark that
nothing could he more congenial to my feelings
than the loss of that patronage which day by day
and step by sop would drag me to the red-house
under the hill —In fact it has become almost the
orqer of the day, that when you ask for your mo
ney, you receive naught but insult, and it is not
unfrequent that you are laughed at, because your
bill is so small, some will very candidly' tell you
that you are too poor to keep a stable, when at the
same time it is such men keeping you out of your
money, that makes you poor. If any business
requires cash it is mine, and I have never known
a place, but this, that a credit was expected for
one hour, much less six months. The evil must
be remedied, or I sink, and sink I never w ill as
long as I have any thing to hold to, and I am
tired of asking for it:
So have it J miry, but have it I must,
And if the law will give it me, doubtless its just.
So now I take my leave of the above-named
and return my sincere thanks to the good citizens
of Macon for their liberal patronage and prompt
pay, without which my horses must’ve perished,
and while I solicit a continuance of their patron
age, I will add, I shall be ever happy to serve
them in the capacity 1 represent, and every care
shall be taken to promote their interest and com
fort and to render general satisfaction.
