He loves frankness, and practices plain.dealing. lie has taken op this concern almost wholly upon political p►in. ciples and public views. He has, however, es bilked his small fortune, his little all, open the pe. ceniary success of it ; and it is with 'element', and with mortification, that on the outset of the coot uncial part of his enterprise, he has to complain of the immoral ceedsct of one of those prunes hitherto employed i■ the concern ; whose treacherous coo. dent is se settees to that which holds the trading part of society together, vis. a confidence is one anothe►'s honesty and troth—this he has violated ie a emcees to alarmierrery Preprieter of a Newspaper—if the money of en unbalanced aecouat two be taken away from the Office, and employed hi setting up another Paper, with a serreptitioes title, by way of opposition, thee is there an end of all tree.

This Decree most be Welled at t►e subjects of Great Britain and America; bet how far known to either or both of such Governments, it is not possible to say. With respect to the first class of persons, it Is doubtful whether the Law of Nations would be found to countenance ouch • proceeding, unless under circumstances peculiar to the usages of war in be singed places. Their Governments being in amity with Spain may be thought to render sack volumene liable to the dreadful penalty, if captured. Bat how different was the case in the American war—is the French Revolutionary War ! To pot a prison►r to death is cold blood, under s ny timeliest@ neewlesiever, is en repugnant to human natore, that we hope In these civilised times never to behold it.

The Noble Secretary's elaborate eulogies on the prosperous condition,of the country, and the distress of its fiances being made known in so few days after It, reminds one of the boast of an Alebymist, who told an acquaintance that ha bad been so &digitate as to had out the Putiosornan's Stoic, sod that he, ►is friood,should certainly be enriched by the discovery.
