LINES ON FREEDOM.

THROUGH all the fceaces of Nature's varying
Plan,
Celeflial Freedom warms the breast of man :
Led by her daring hand, what pow'r can bind,
The botorJlefs efforts of the laboring wind ?
The god like favour,thrill ng thro' the heart,
Give, new creation to each vital parr ;
Throbs rapture through eaqh palpitating vein,
Wings the rapt thought, and warms the terrible
brain ;
To her the no.left attributes of heav'n,
Ambition, valour, eloquence, are giv'n.
She binds the Soldier's brow with wreaths sub
lime,
From her, expanding Reason learns to climb ;
To her the founds of melody belong,
S & e wakes the raptures of the Poet's song
Tis goI like Freedom bids each pallion live,
That Truth mty boast, cr patriot Virtue give
From her, the Arts enlighten'd fplendonrs own,
She guides r he peasant die adorns the Throne,
To mild Philanthropy extendss her her band,
Gives Truth pre eminence, and Worth com-

Langley Boardman
In England, the Company which I had
the honour of keeping was the very firit xe
fpe&ability and conlequence.
1 am now in New- Hampshire and shall
tarry fix o< eight mouths in the State.
I am for, riled that in Potftnouth, a place
where I am Scarcely known, except by light
—a place too,which 1 have frequently obfer
ve'd, is in the number of its genteel refpe&a
families superior to any town of the size in
E rope or America , the name of fugh a poor
infignificant individual as myfelf ihould be
bandied about with such foolifh ridiculous
stories attached to it. But, however, sit
a maxim do government and politics that in
dividuals good must not be put in competition
with the general good : so if the h^ppinefs
of a tnaj rity of individuals can be, in any
way, through my means promoted as I
have not the smallest objeaion to smother
what disagreeable feelings, I may have on
the occation in my own bosom.
I am with sincere iefpe&.
Your most obedient humbble servant,
NATHANIEL COGSWELL
August 22 1803.
Sir,
TROUGH I am fully conf< ious of mv own
infigniGeancy in the eye of the public ;
ilia the very bale attention any thing I migh.
fay would,be entitled to : but as lam informed
ib:t injuring, reports, particularly in the town of
Ponfmeuth, have been circulated refpeaing me,
I (ball beg leave >o observe, that 1 am confident
there is not any part of my ceriduXfor tbefe
live ye rs lad |dft, which when duly examined
and weighed, cipher in .the feales of even and
Ilrift jJlice or in the minds of upright and
honorable men, can be deemed improper or dif
hoEJrable. And I take the liberty in this way
to challenge any person to fay that during tit
above period 1 have been capable of a diftonell
a ddhonorable, or an ungentlemanlike adion.
And will moreover assert that few per sons ac
cording to their means (which unfortunately fm
me ate now exhausted) have done more liberal
or generous aXions.
I have been informed fidee my return to A
merici, that io the year 1798, it was reported
by a captain in the mercantile Service reading
ir, Portsmouth that I was hung in the Well In
nies. II s name I have forgotten, but the cir
cumdances are these. In 1798 I was concern
ed in three privateers in the Well Indies; and
in a cause uhere four or five veiled had been
captured by these privateers, this captain, with,
I believe, one or two more, attempted to irjure
my reputation by (wearing that previous to my
leaving America they had beared, for they were
not acquainted with me, except the one from
Portsmouth, and be only knew me by fight, that
l was accuflomed to attend horse races, &c.
They all received a reprimand from the judge of
Admiralty, who übferved that my conduct in
that business and so far as he was acquainted
with it, was perfectly correct ; that it appeared
these men had come forward with a malicious
intention to injure a gentleman with whom they
had not the flighted acquaintance nor did he (up.
pole it probable that I should have had much
a qiaintance with them. That if in his country
(England) those gentlemen and ladies who fre
quented berfe races, were to be fiigmatized,
scarce a family or nobility or gentry in the
kingdom wopld escape censure.
On board of one of these vessels (for the pro
teaion of which this captain from Portfmoutb
attempted to injure me) under Danifli (neutral)
colours, with a regular let of Danish papers,
backed by tl e caths of the captain and fupercar
go,that the velTeland cargo belonged to a Daqjfh
merchant, reading at Altona, were found con
cealed in a done jug, the real ships papers prow
ing the property belonged to a Dutch merchant,
residing at Amflerdam, conqacntly a lawful
prize, and that the (bip bad not only a falle fer
of papers, but that the captain and fupercarg?
had sworn falfely. The cargo of this veflei
fold at antlion for three hundred and fifty two
thousand and some odd dollars ; an eighth part
of which belonged to myfelf.
I was returning to America in the year 1798
in an EogUffi privateer with more than 10,000
joes, but was captured.by a Spanish eighty gun
ihip from Vera Croze, carried into Spain and
dripped of every penny. I found my wry to
England, where after a fhott time, through the
affillance of a gentleman, who befriended me, I
was appointed an agent and contractor in the
War department, the profits of which fopported
me in an eflabkfhment <f the firft Ryle, but the
unexpeSed declaration of Peace coming at a mo
ment when I had made a large purchase
and at a high price, and the hidden death of a sin
cere valuable friend once more involved me in
debt and difficulties.<
The above observations with others more
pointed, were made by the judge of admiralty
Men the condemnation of the vessels tock place.
The day follawing, I had the honor of dining
at the table of the judge of admiralty, with the
governor of the place, and some other gentlemen
of <iiibn6lion. I cannot possibly conceive what
could induce the captain to think of much more
to propagate fueh a malicious report, nnlefs it
was that being foiled in his attempt to injure me
in the Weft Indies, he tho't he might at lead
wound the feelings of my connexions in A
metica:
