NMI' l& sr rogiand is on tie lietnit sitßesteuetion. Impeadlag ruin ha' Wen held out as a probe* *toil, saw dare mobs hal Mrs to . listen, and orators had taupe, to &deign : the country is a.. 'wined yet, but * people still (lodide is their declaimers ; and such men as Sir Francis Belden continue to present a 4teploru. hie reverse of Cateaattra's fate. She saw destruction approach- Mg, but was cursed olds nnbelieving hearers: the modern prt , ll , :hers net no evils except in their own imaginations. but the country is cursed with hearers that believe them. it Is not, it catmint be to the honour or the advantage of Englishmen, to sack, ladiscrimitately, all the futile prophecy of approaching danger, all the unjust accusation of past mismanagement, which Fir Frain* Burdett, and that mouth-piece of his dogmas, The nirependent Whig, may think St to vomit forth. The Paper abounds with dlasertattaeson the prosecutions for a Libel that tisreatvit the Bettors; sad we are inclined to congratulate the country on an eve* that seems likely to staunch the last remain ing ulcer that the dims* of Jacobinism has left behind it. On the merits of The fadspeadesti Whig's other hero, Botta parte, it is unarceesity ta dilate at this time of day. Borns parte is constantly held up'by the Gadsden of this Paper into example of greatness to be copied by oar Ministers; mad yet when our Ministers, in hatable imitation of Bonaparte, attempt such a measure as the attack at Copeabagea, they are not only reproached by these scribblers with all the Indignalisa that a j sense ufjugice can awaken, bat vilified with all the Anse that the vocabulary of Billingsgate CRS furnish. When our Ministers shall have taken the advice of l'As lade pendent Whig, and imitated Bonaparte in other achievements, we shall expect to see the country really reduced to that *state in which the Editors of this l'aper delight to repreansi it. The attack on Copenhagen already has wounded our heessur; a (IMP• (her pursuit of the system which dictated that plan. will ter ranty de‘troy it. When these factions people, who misguide tile _people by their periodical newerewor, have petvetidallallitel body of men that the country is ruined, perhaps the mist of the country will not in reality be very far distant. A turbideat mob will then begin to rectify abuses, and the Proprietors a The Independent Whig may " ride in the whirlwind, aM Aimed'. 4 • storm." Nahi:ily will deny that the Executive Power of The Independent Whig will be well matched with die legisla tive genius of porter drinkers, for the Editor may be, indeed, as Pope has expre‘sed it, " A decent Priest, where monkeyg are the Cods !"

Those who could enter into this horrid prison, saw' this worthy man among the slaves, in his official dress, and loaded with a chain of sixty pounds weight, which Mr. Ulrich bore with fortitude and courage : he merely recommended to his friends the care of his wife and five children.—At length the Dry resolved, on the earnest entreaties of all the Europen •Ctetstils, to set the Danish Consul at liberty ; and w hile h e was occupied working with all the slaves, they came and took off his chain.--What security is there against the renewal of these sets of violence ~--All the slaves here are treated with the most horrid cruelty: 4M) Portuguese are shut up in prison.
