(Signed) PATRICK TOOLE, U.S. Vieg.!.-Consul :. : (L. -" Bat not. contented with their oblique attacks of the Prince Regent at every step of the Negoci-, ation's, their press daily teemed with libels against his Royal Highness or his friends=---such gross and seandatous libels as evinced: the mean disposition of the base calumniators. From these illiberal .proceedings two facts arise—The first is, that -the . Prince, if -he previously wanted proofs, has now the satiSfactioa Of knowing his Friends, and- that he may look for them in vain among the Opposi tion Party. The second is, that his " Early Friends,'' now his " late Friends," have„ by un provoked aggressions, banished themselves, per haps for, ever, front the Councils of his. Royal Highness and that were the Prince . Regent to be unfortunately troubled with bad or inefficient Ministers, he would never be induced to change them for the substitution of men who could be guilty of countenancing such personal insults. — Who is there without some faelts or weakness But what .taster ;would choose to employ servants who could evince such malignant anxiety to expose and revile him, whether their allegations were well or ill founded % And we are apprehensive that there are some persons in Opposition who would not scruple to sacrifice any friend, or - any affair of importance, for the sake of a joke. Such men ought to be carefully avoided by every friend of society, especially - by great and dignified cha racters. _ Notwithstanding :Al this doenmenniry evidence, Tunjamin Waine swore positively, in reply to the standing interrogatories of the Court of Adrni- rally, that Jeronimo Vicente. was sole owner of the said schooner, and ,that the slaves oh board were to he soli! for the real account, risk, and be . - netit, of the said Vicente. He took upon himself fort her-to swear, that he believed that, at the time of_litcHg the said slaves, and at the present time, and also if the said slaves should be unladen at the destined' purr, they (lid, do, and will•belong to the said Vicente, and no other." • James Usher, the chief mate, born in Rhode Island, a freeman of the town of Bristol, in that state, :and whose ,wife and family reside in that town, stated that the vessel carried rum, tobacco,. and lumberfrom Boston to St. Michael's, where she was sold to a Portuguese, And took in slave , irons,. and also dry goods, beads, arms, &c. which were afterwards e - xehanged for negroes.. Ninety three slaves, some rum and tobacco, were on bo:kil at the . time of the capttu'e. This gentle man would not swear that the sale at St. - Michael's was real. • 2. CASE OF TIIE•SCHOONER FSPERANZA, JEIIONIMO N - xcENTE. This schooner was built in Virginia, and, was called the Fair Trader. ;The becaine, in 1899, the „property of two merchants; either of New-York in Boston, or- both, named Jacob : Ogden, jun. and John B. Frazier. -In November y 1809, • hese persons gave the command of . her to Benjamin Waine', a native of Boston, Who, with his %life and family, resid.ed at Holloway, in' the state of Massachusetts. The ye:;sel was Cleared out from Boston to. a port or pofts in ;south America. A letter -of instructions, bearing fiats November ; ls; 1809, was addressed by the ow-orers to Mr.Waine; which letter Mr. Waine had carelessly omitted to .destroy; or to leave bfaind him. It vas found_ - board; and is as follows : • • " Boston, Nu r. 13, 120 " Captain Waine will proceed from this to St. Michttel's, andendeavour to.get his vessel put un der Portuguese 'colours, if he can do it in Safety: He Will obtain pc:mission to proceed to Africa, and thence to the Havannah, and have the vessel consigned, by the Portuguese nterehant, to Frail- Cisco Hernandez, of that place, with orders to dispose of; the cargo, and account with Jacob Og den, jun. or John B. Frazier, for the net proceeds. Capt. Waine will also receive, powers limn his merchant to sell the vessel in Havannah if he chooses, or to proceed from thence ,elsewhere.;-- Thu men-chant in St. Michael's ahOulti be induced to Write as soon as possible,' and send the neces , sari- information, that we may make insurance in this place. If Capt. Waine should find his proses exceed in amount the cash which he has with him, he will draw on .T. B. Frazier and J. Ogden, and his bills shall he duly honoured.— 'Capt. Waine will see that the proper documents are forwarded to as to cancel 0111. bonds. It lie should not be able to accomplish his business in St. Michael's as it should be, he will then proceed to T , ,meri 11 . e ; and if Mr. Wm. Stocker is, still there, he will deliver the letter to him, and receive his advice in all his transactions- in that 'place ; •bat if he should have left before the arrival of the schooner, he will present the letter which is di rected to Vessrs. Madin Brothers, and explain to them, verbally, the precise situation of the'busi ness, and destroy the letter to Stocker immeati atelV.: Always bear in mind that it is necessary to send us the proper Information, to enable us to make insurance. before the transfer is .made, it will be well to see if the present Captain and his two Mates will, be allowed to go in her. The men should be induced to go if possible, even if it were necessary to increase their wages consi derably. The second mate may be allowed, ex chtsive of his Wages . , one of the cargo, oil the safe arrival of the vessel at the Havannah. It has . been Oa-reed that the first mate should have two ; and if the cargo should amount to 175 on arrival in Havannah, he is to have three. Yourself to reicive five per cent. on the amount 'of sales in /-Taraanah, , It iK an object to get a peaceable young man for your Captain, to carry the papers. Before you undertake to transfer the vessel, you will see, your way clear, and aseertain whether any difficulties will be like4y to arise in the course of voila ,business that arc insurmountable. On your arrival at St. Michael's, you 'will pretend you arc after snpplies of poultry and wine ; and, ,cas soon as possible, do you explain your wishes,to your merchants and state to 'him the whole design of the voyage. Request him to forward to us a letter, directed to Hernandez, directing him to take charge of vessel and cargo on her arrival in Ilavannah. You will endeavour to have the com 7 plete arrangement of the expedition placed in your hands. The Portuguese Captain should be made to understand that he mast leave all to you. You had better get Stiflicient power' from your new owner to place time expedition altogether nu der your yontrout. 1•F you find you Cannot do your business to your satisfaction, you may advise with your friend about touching at Fayal, where vessels' papers have frequently been changed with the greatest facility ; being careful, always who you get to cover the property. If you think best to go there, you are at liberty to , do it. It will be a gleat object to get. your papers without un,- loading ; but you utust get the proper dot:animas to send us to cancel our bonds. Act in all cases carefully, and endeavour, to foresee the difficulties you will have to encounter. Do not let the Ame rican Consul suspect that you 'were tariginally de- Besides the above persons, the following Ame ricans were on hoard :—James Hinton, "second mate; Jeptirah. Trig, .Charles Willis, Thomas Thompson,' Obed B. Hussey, Richard AVithaws, Charles Grace, and Jereniiah Vail, seamen ; John Wawa, cook; and Thos. W. Lyle", boy. " Every man has some failing, sonse-peculiar-' ity -that he would not wish to be -satirised or ex posed- 7 -Ana how could even the purest of the Par ty venture to employ servants whose greatest plea sure they know - would be to expose their master, and hold him up to censure and ridicule. But the .Opposition press, ever sinee the Prince . Regent 'preferred, the services of the present Ministers (soon after the Restrictions ceased) has been ac tivelyemployed in reviling and satirising the Prince and his .6 - iends.. No wonder therefore that Colo nel the Prince's long approved /and (Aid:Jul servant, together wiphscveral other high ly unexceptionable chnacters, should have. - been held up to - censure and exposure both within and without Parliament. (To be continued.) " In attempting to humiliate the Princeltegent any Fcrson may observe, and observe with asto nishment, the extraordinary pains which the " Early Friends' taken to accomplish the , degradhtion, to expose the weakness of their own character ! They become candidates for ministe rial authority, and as an earnest of their duty to his Royal Ilighness,, they satirically declare, that they disapprove of " altnostall the leading features of the policy of the empire." This is certainly a very eccentric mode of recommendation to the di rection of Government; but it is a mode which the Opposition chose to adopt.: it is a mode of ex ercising their sarcastic powers at ,the expence of his Rival flightless ; it is, in fact, telling him, that'the Peninsular war, and " almost all'' the measures of Government; ,to which his Royal Highness has given his countenance and supp(4l,. meet with their disapprobation ! is not this the langage of peevishness at , spleen, not to say insult Is it wise as statesmen, or - decorous as gentlemen Would any of the Oposition Members themselves venture to employ a servant who oh -a first inter view for place sliculdsay—'lls true I am a candi7 datc for your service, but I make no scruple •of assuring you that I disapprove of "-almost all" your conduct, and therefore you must in future. follow Inv advice, and have no will of your own We believe neither of the Noble Lords would'ent- - ploy such a serilntor servants ; and yet the Prince Regent, with a dignified and magnanimous con tempt of such unbecoming and wretched. re proaches, and in conformity to what his Royal ilighness conceiveeas a public duty, intimated, through the medium of Lord Moira, that he would eceBpt of their - services, and had no party priliti dic6, no party exclusions whatever. To men of feeling this was the strongest possible reproof ; -and it is to be coped, although th,e Opposition 'Members; as partizans, are not remarkable for de licacy of sentiment, that they felt it with every degree of acuteness, and every point of pun gency. . (To be contimied.) On Tuesday . last, James Hall, farmer, .and Semuel Blow, miller, both of the parish of Holton Beckering,.. Lincolnshire, wcrc, on the.informa tion of the Rev. John Talc, the Rector, 'charged before Richard Elinbirst, Esq. on of his. Majesty's justices of the Peace . for that county, with scan dalously profaning the preceding Sabbath,---Hall viug alloty,ed two of-his labourers to devote the wbolc of that day' to reaping corn • and Blow baying suffered his mill to he at work, not' only the greater part-Of the day, but during divine ser vice. They were both convicted' in the full penal ties, agreeably to the statute. The money was laid out in bread, to be distributed. amongst the poor people of the village. It appears, from the similarity of hand-writing in a note found among the ;papers, that the American Consul is the partner of Messrs, Sealy and Roach.; and the receipt fur the 40001. affords Strong presumptive proof, that :tins. ultimate destination of.the hria, could nut be uniwown to . this 11PilSe., .• Accordingly 'Mr. Waine proceeded to St. '.lli clia'el's,,.where, with the help-of Alessi's. Ivens and' •Burnett, niefchat!ts - thei.e, he had the vessel trans ferred.to erne Jeronimo Vicente, who lent his son, b : ering the same name, to Mr. Wain , ,, as a cap tain, at forty dollars a month, Mr: Waine being converted into the supercargo. Tlie new owner then stoned a letter of instructions, which iS evi dentry in,theliand-writing Of Ivens and Burnett, and in which Mr. Waine is directed to remit the proceeds, meaning; as ciearlv appears front other papers, merely the price of and son's services, to William S. Burnett, Esq. No.. 78, Queen street, thcapside,. London - , or to band diem to Mr. Jacob liariser, of Newyork, who is to pass them to the'credivof Messrs. llicklin and Angiin, of St. Michael's. A - letter was also fOund on board froin John 'Stoughton, of Boston, dated No vember 14, 1805, to Bernard Cologan, &q. Te nerilfe, recommending Mr. Walk! as brother to . deserving gentleman, and an enterprising young man. - , By Nevs=York Paper of the 27th of June, it appears that a seaman, named Erring, a native of tliis town, Was tarred and feathered by the crew of the ./ , : s ea frigate, (2apt, Porter, for refusing to tight against his country.

Inca of Bishops, which ail Sovereign Princes in the early ageS of the. Church, within, their re- - speetive territories. In that it is evident,.that4e !. has been actuate:', by. the purest "patriotism,-arid by the warmest attache:Alt to the interest - -of fellow religiolists ;. Os it is the only meiuM' - which th e y can hope to obtain what- they - so ardently desire, complete Emancipation. For thii4 an outcry has been raised against the Doetor,,h a -party of bigoted Eccle'iiasties . , who have hireit some 11h-cling scribblers to load him with. opuro4 brious abuse r and to defame him Schismatic ; 1,41 t: he is .as much superior to them in , learning 4 . thtf liberality, as he is in the splendour and diguitV- of', his ancestry. Though bigots may rail, all rational.. and enlightened Protestants and Roman Catholics, must •applaud his -generous exertions, as• their . obvious tendency is to unite-both iu the litinds of Peace and C:•fistian Charity, by removing those diqualifiCations of which the latter complain. In the year 1802, the Institute at Paris offered a prize for the best Essay 'on the following sub-, jest :—" What dies been the influence of the re formation of Luther on the political situation of. the different States of Europe, and on the progress: of learning ? "Mr. Charles Villeks, a Roman Ca tholiC, obtained the prize for having shewn, like Doctor O'Connor, the real and.priMitive limits of - the Papal Supremacy, the usurpations of the Popes in ages of - midnie-,ht ignorance, on the rights of Sovereign Princes, their fatal. effects on society, and the necessity of restraining-them with-, in 'proper bounds. For this Mr. \Tillers was ap plauded by persons of every ordex in France.— In the year 1613, some enlightened members of. the States General, then assembled at Paris, moved, that thOse usurped powers . of the Pope should be disallowed and.rejected, that every per son who held an office under the Government . should renounce them by at Test Oath; as, in . consequence of their abuse, the two preceding- Mo narchs, Ilenry 111. and IV had fallen by the daggers of assassinsi but the motion* was reject ed by a majority-of that -A“embly, through the influence of the Clergy, in that age of super - 7 • stitious bitfotry. Mr. \Tillers has shewn, that_the late Revolution in France, .which overturned 'the Altar and the Throne, would have been prevent ed, had those usurped powers. of the Pope been renounced at that period.—aftlin Journa:. On Sunday evening se'nnight, a house at Stan, ley, near Wakefield, inhabited only hvladies, eras broken open by forcing the front door with s aa iron crow ; the/villains had previously attempted to make an entrance by thecellar window. They entered the house, of whicli they.appeor to,have been for some tune in p.f..•sesit;n, where, rum maging about, they found the bunch of,keSS .hc lonKing to several closets, drawers, Et7i. -- iu -the, house, which they took away with them, and strange to say, left every thing else behind - them. Alarmed by this siugnlar visit, the ladies engaged a man to sleep in tire hcHNe. On the following night,- their unwelcome visitors again r:turned, but finding him there; decamped, leaving the keys they bad - take away the-preceding night in a corn.field. en-Wednesday morning last, about four o'cloa, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr..] ohu ;op land, (known -by the name of Pophion,) situate at Northmolton, which entirely consumed the whole, together with the household' furniture, farming-stock, &c. &c. The flames raged with such fury, that Mr. Shopland and his family were obliged td make' the best of their way out at the, windows, in order to preserve their lives. We ap prehend the property consumed (which was worth mady hundreds, of pounds,) was acquired by the hand of industry ; and we arc sorm- to add, that doubts are entertained of its having been wilfully sat on fire. A few evenings ago, about six o'clock, the pre mises- of Mr. efpcott, a respectable farmet, .0f Thovertou, Devon, were discovered to be ors fire the flames raged with great fury, and entirely con sumed the dwelling-noise, together with the barns, linhays , , and other • out-buildings, and 3 quantity of grain which had recently been take? in.
