Massachusetts Legislature.
On Thursday the Committees of the Senate and House waited upon the Governor with the following Answers to His Excellency's Speech:
ANSWER.
Of the SENATE to the SPEECH of his Excellency the GOVERNOR.
May it please your Excellency,
THE Senate have received the Address, which your Excellency has been pleased to make to both Branches of the Legislature, with that respect and consideration which is due to the First Magistrate of a free people.
Having organized the Government, according to the Constitution, we believe it will not be expected by our Constituents that we should continue longer in session, than may be found necessary to complete such Laws as their immediate welfare shall require.
In a State, like our own, where free discussions of public measures are cherished by the Constitution, perfect unanimity is not to be expected; but if such discussions have at any time been directed by party zeal, or selfish motives, we have the satisfaction to believe, that even these have tended to prove the correctness of its principles.
While we agree with your Excellency, that "whatever differences of opinion may prevail among our fellow citizens, we, as Agents of the Commonwealth, have one and the same interest to pursue," we cannot for a moment relinquish the fond hope, that no considerations of party politics will swerve the Legislature of Massachusetts from the path which leads to the perpetuation of our Constitution and the confidence of our fellow Citizens.
The several subjects mentioned in your Excellency's communication, shall receive our particular attention, and we shall cheerfully co-operate in affording that dispatch to the business of the session which the public good requires.
ANSWER.
Of the House of REPRESENTATIVES to the SPEECH of His Excellency the GOVERNOR.
May it please your Excellency,
THE House of Representatives have received, with pleasure, the communications of your Excellency, and will give them a prompt and deliberate consideration. The present session has been hitherto chiefly devoted to the organization of the Government, and this being accomplished, it seems inexpedient to prolong it, unless the pressure of the public service requires. In the exercise of the constitutional power of the two branches of the Legislature, respecting the returns and election of a Chief Magistrate, various questions of great importance have arisen and occasioned much deliberation, in order that such decisions might be made as comport with the true principle of our government and the permanent interests of the people.
Differences of political opinion unavoidably flow from the free exercise of the understanding, and are intimately connected with the nature of Republican Institutions. When confined within the boundary of reason, they may be considered as salutary, by awakening a spirit of inquiry, and diffusing a sentiment of toleration. But the interest and tranquillity of every government require, on the part of the people, a respectful attention to the constituted authorities, which shall resist the imposition of improper motives of conduct, and on the part of those authorities an elevated ambition for the public good, which shall bury party animosities and private resentments. By a faithful discharge of the duties prescribed by the constitution, by an endeavour to promote harmony in the moment of political dissention, and by a sincere determination to act for the public welfare, we hope to merit the confidence and to promote the felicity of our fellow citizens.
Be it, as we are, with a constitution, formed upon the principles of political wisdom, and with a national administration, whose measures are directed to the honor and prosperity of our country, we cannot fail to enjoy the benefits of liberty, if we are not infeasible of our duties, or careless of our privileges. Removed from the contentions and miseries of foreign nations, may we support the dignity of freemen by a generous confidence in our rulers, and by an exalted sense of national character.
Foreign Intelligence.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT OF GREAT-BRITAIN.
House of Lords, May 6.
Trade between the West-Indies, and America.
LORD SHEFFIELD moved to discharge the order for the second reading of the American and W. India Trade Bill, this day, with the view of postponing it to the 16th of May, in order to give time for the consideration of the subject, as numerous petitions would be presented against it.—The motion was negatived.
LORD GRANVILLE moved that the Bill be now read a second time.
The Duke of MONTROSE called the attention of the house to the alarm which had been excited by the manner in which this subject had been stated by the noble Lord who originally proposed it, and by the supposition that other measures might follow the present, which might have serious effect upon the shipping interest of this country. The effect which the Bill might have upon the shipping interest was, in this instance, no light consideration, as the trade to the West Indies employed from 6 to 7000 seamen, and formed one of those nurseries for our seamen, which ought to be cherished and encouraged, instead of being depressed or cucked. In his view of the subject, the
bill was neither politic nor necessary. It was impolitic, inasmuch as it went to authorise the suspension of our navigation laws, those laws to which we were originally indebted for our maritime superiority; it was unnecessary, inasmuch as it only professed to do that which had been already done; and might be again in a manner less objectionable, by leaving it to the West India Governors to act upon their own responsibility in cases of necessity. If on the contrary, the Governors were to be prospectively authorised to suspend the navigation laws, it should be recollected that it might frequently be to their interest to direct such suspension where no immediate necessity required it. He did not despair, although he did not mean to assert it, that with our present maritime superiority, the West India Islands might, even in time of war, be supplied in British bottoms by means of convoys. In a time of peace there could be no doubt about it, and he denied that the calamities which a noble Lord (Holland) on a former occasion stated to have resulted to the West-Indies from not suspending the navigation laws, to have proceeded from that source, as they were the natural consequences of earthquakes and hurricanes. He was inimical to the present Bill not only on account of the positive evil resulting to the shipping interest of the country, from the suspension of the navigation law, but on account of those measures still more injurious to that interest to which this Bill might afterwards serve as a basis.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE thought the noble Duke had rather been arguing against some speculative measures, which he apprehended might, at some future time be brought forward, than against the present Bill. He conceived the Bill to be founded upon the soundest principles of legislation. What could more forcibly demonstrate its necessity than the Indemnity Bill which Parliament had passed year after year, for the purpose of indemnifying the Governors of our West India Islands for suspensions of the Navigation Act, which were found to be absolutely necessary for the support and well-being of our Colonies? And was it not more constitutional, and more becoming the dignity of Parliament, that what was so found to be necessary, should be authorised, in certain cases, according to the discretion and under the responsibility of the Executive Government, than that violations of the law should continually take place, and the persons who infringed the law be as constantly indemnified? It is, according to the argument of the noble Duke, our West India Colonies could be supplied by the mother country in time of war, how would such a mode of supply operate? There must necessarily be a heavy expense for insurance, besides other expenses, which the merchant exporting must pay out of his pocket, and which, by rendering the commodity dearer, would ultimately raise the price of the produce of the Colonies, to which such commodities were thus carried. On the contrary, by importing directly from America to the West Indies those articles which were necessary for the food of the inhabitants and the cultivation of the soil, none of these extra expenses ensued: they can be obtained at a cheaper rate, and were paid for in the manufactures of this country, thus equally producing the sale of our manufactures and the comfort of a cultivation of our West India possessions, and increasing the produce of those islands. He did not believe that any surtax on our seamen would be rejected by the Bill; but if any seamen were thrown out of employ, there was a sure resource for them in the Royal Navy, and at a peace this trade would be again open to them for employment.
LORD MULGRAVE deprecated that mode of arrangement which went to state, that if any portion of our seamen were thrown out of employ by the effect of any measure upon any branch of our trade, they might be employed to man our ships of war. The same argument might be employed to defend any encroachment on our trade, to whatever extent; but when any part of our commerce was suspended for a considerable space of time, it was not so easy a task to restore it to its old channel. He conceived that this country was clearly entitled to an exclusive trade with her colonies, and he was therefore inimical to any measure which went to injure or impede that trade. The colonies ought to be made the instruments of supporting and upholding our shipping and our navigation, and not rendered the means of decreasing the one and injuring the other. He did not think that any necessity had been shown for the present Bill, or for altering that mode of conduct which had been hitherto adopted with respect to the supply of our colonies.
The LORD CHANCELLOR conceived he must have totally misunderstood the Bill, if any of the arguments used against it were at all applicable. The Bill merely went to vest that power and responsibility in the Executive Government which had hitherto been exercised by the Governors of our colonies, and to enable that to be done legally which had hitherto been done of necessity, in violation of the law; and surely it was much more consistent with the dignity of Parliament that discretionary power should be vested in his Majesty in Council to act according to the necessity of the case, than that the law should be continually infringed by subordinate magistrates, and acts of indemnity passed year after year.
The Duke of MONTROSE, in explanation, contended that the Bill was a totally different measure, inasmuch as it went, for the first time, to authorise legally a suspension of the Navigation Act.
The Earl of CARMARVON contended, that the present Bill was precisely the same measure which had received the support of the noble Lords who now opposed it when they were in office, and the adoption of which by the Governors of our Colonies, they sanctioned by repeated Bills of Indemnity.

JAMAICA.
KINGSTON, MAY 21.
DAMAGE BY RAINS.
Considerable injury will be sustained by several parties from the great fall of rain in this city, for these few days past. Scarce a street or lane of any description but what are materially injured from the excavations made by the current of water, as well as the embarkations of earth raised against the brick walls, being totally swept away, to the great danger of their falling.
A loss, also, and that in no small proportion, must ensue on the different wharves, from the accumulation of sugar, exposed without shelter to the mercy of the weather, a great part of which would have been shipped, had it not been for the obstinate contention of both the shippers and the masters, about the rates of freight, by which circumstance many of the ships have not a quarter part of their lading on board, and will not be enabled to depart with the ensuing convoy, when the whole might have been very easily obviated by a proper representation of the case, and loss would then not have accrued to either party.
Since writing the foregoing paragraph, we anticipate (though we sincerely hope they may not be realized,) dreadful accounts from the country, as from the incessant rain and the immense body of water which passed down King, and the principal streets, overflowing several piazzas, and bringing down fences, bodies of trees, &c. dreadful devastation must have taken place in Liguanea, and the adjoining settlements.
BARBADOES. BRIDGETOWN, JUNE 3.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Alexander Cochrane, K. B. arrived here on Sunday night, from Antigua and Dominica, on board his Majesty's ship Northumberland, which has undergone a thorough repair of the damages sustained in the victory off St. Domingo.
The enemy's schooner Imperiale, Mons. Point, ensign de vaisseau, engaged in the late design against the shipping at Dominica was brought in here on Sunday, by the Cygnet sloop of war; on board of which arrived the commander of that buccaneering enterprize, whose name we mistated, and now find to be Horrode, and his rank adjutant-general of Gaudaloupe. Most of the prisoners taken on the above occasion have also arrived here; but we understand that some of them embarked on board one of the king's schooners, to be brought here, rose upon the crew, with an intent of taking the sch'r, but by the gallantry of her commander the prisoners were overcome and secured, not however until some loss was sustained on our part, and the lieutenant of the sch'r severely wounded, which obliged him to put into Antigua.
A French brig of strong force, from Cayenne, according to the report of several American vessels arrived here, is cruising to windward, and has boarded them from within 100 to 180 miles of the land. She is stated to mount 16 long brass 9's, and to carry 120 men. His majesty's ships Ethalion and Cygnet have both gone to sea, in consequence of this information, and we hope one or other of them may be successful in falling in with her.
There is some report in town, of the arrival of a small French squadron at Porto-Rico, and it is added, that the admiral has dispatched the Canada and a frigate or two to look after them; but we do not know how far this is correct; if any such report has been received upon authentic grounds, we are confident the vigilance of the admiral will not let them remain long unlooked after.
JUNE 7.
GENERAL MIRANDA.
This celebrated and distinguished officer arrived here this morning, on board the American ship Leander, Captain Lewis, in company with his majesty's sloop of war Lilly, which fell in with the Leander on the 26th ult. off Grenada. General Miranda, who had sailed from America in January last, on an expedition to give freedom
and independence to South America, touched at Jacquemel, and sailed again from thence on the 27th March, in company with the schooners Bacchus and Bee, and arrived near O'Cumana, between Porto-Cavello and Laguiza, on Sunday evening the 27th April: on the following morning, the coast being alarmed, the Leander was attacked by two stout Guarda Costas, one a brig of twenty 12 pounders, and the other schooner of sixteen twelves, both full of men. The Leander succeeded in beating these off: but the Bacchus and Bee, being in shore, endeavoured to land a detachment, were captured, having several confidential officers on board. In consequence of this disaster, and the Leander being in want of water, general Miranda put into Buenaire, and failed from thence on the 1st instant, intending for Trinidad, but having fallen in with the Lilly, and receiving some information from captain Campbell of that ship, he proceeded to Grenada, and from thence to this island, probably with a view of conferring with our respective commanders on the future execution of his laudable enterprize, in which every British subject and free government must wish him the amplest success.
The Bacchus and Bee were two unarmed pilot-boat sch'r's.
The enemy seems again to threaten us with some naval exploit in these seas; or, as we are more inclined to imagine, afford our brave seamen another opportunity of discomfiting his maritime plans. A French line of battle ship has appeared in our neighbourhood, and was seen by the Ethalion frigate on the 4th instant, within sight of the island. Without giving direct chase to her, she endeavoured to cut the Ethalion off the land, upon her hauling round the North Point; but, unable to effect it, at 6 in the evening she bore up for Martinique, with all possible sail set. This vessel is supposed, by our best informed naval officers, to be the Regulus, which the enemy has had stationed for some time on the coast of Africa; but from the accustomed triumphs of our navy, others imagine that it may be some more fortunate ship which has escaped from the defeated squadron of Admiral Guillomey, who, with Jerome Bonaparte, may have fallen into our hands off the coast of Brazils, where they were lately spoken. She was seen on Thursday last by a neutral arrived here this morning, close in with Point Salines.
Our first homeward bound trade was spoke by an American vessel arrived here on Thursday, on the 25th ult. in lat. 28, 30, long. 60, 45, all well. The trade of this island of the second convoy, fails from this place on Monday next.
The brig Fame, of this island, from Charleston to this port, was captured on the 30th March, off St. Domingo, by a French privateer of 3 guns and 96 men, after a running fight of several hours, and carried into Samana.

NEW-YORK, JUNE 26.
LATE AND AUTHENTIC ACCOUNTS OF MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
THE enterprize of General Miranda, in my ship Leander, having excited considerable interest and attention in the public mind, which has for some time past been deceived by various ridiculous and unfounded rumours, I think it proper to give publicity to the following extract of a letter which I have just received from a gentleman of respectability on board the Leander, the correctness of which may be relied on. Your very humble servant,
SAMUEL G. OGDEN.
Extract of a letter, dated Grenada, May 27, 1806, from a gentleman on board the Leander, to Samuel G. Ogden.
"We left Jacquemel on the 27th March, arrived at the island of Aruba on the 9th of April, when after taking in sufficient water, we sailed on the

15th April, and being off the Main on the 27th near Porto Cavello, we fell in with a Spanish brig of 20 guns, and a schr. of 16 guns, by both of which we were attacked, and had an action of half an hour, but no apparent damage done on either side; however, during the contest, we were so unfortunate as to lose two schooners we had chartered at Jacquemel, on board of which vessels were about 60 men. This circumstance was occasioned by those schooners falling to leeward, and our not being able to separate the brig from the schooner in which case we certainly should have saved our little convoy; however, to remedy this evil, we immediately determined to go to Trinidad, to obtain such information and assistance as the British might be disposed to afford us.
"On our way, we fortunately fell in with the British sloop of war Lilly, Capt. Campbell, who received us with much cordiality, and informed us, it was his particular instructions to serve us, at the same time advising us to put into Grenada, as the Governor of that island had some particular communication to make to General Miranda. We have already received the Governor's assurance of the most prompt co-operation. We shall probably take up one or two days at most, in making the necessary arrangements here, and shall then proceed immediately to Trinidad (in company with the Lilly sloop of war) where we understand, the Governor of that Island will also give us every assistance that is necessary."
"The Jason frigate is now on the coast with a number of volunteers on board; this ship is commanded by Capt. Cochrane, son of Admiral Cochrane, who, we understand from the best authority has particular instructions to protect and forward our enterprize."
I have now the happiness to observe that this new turn to our operations has given much animation to all friends on board the Leander, and I sincerely hope my next will inform you that our glorious enterprize is fully accomplished."
JUNE 27. Capt. Gold, in 15 days from St. Johns, Porto-Rico, favoured the editors of the New-York Gazette, with a file of the Porto-Rico Gazette, as late as the 11th inst. From the paper of the 21st ult. the following article is extracted—
"The French frigates Hortensia, Themis, Herminie, and Rhin, (which arrived here on the 13th, from Cadiz) sailed again in great haste on the 18th inst. to cruise for the traitor MIRANDA, who, according to the most recent advices, was at the island of Bonaire with an American ship and two schooners. If they should fall in with this traitor, his head will pay for his crimes. This squadron is under the command of Capt. Somellerie, and consists of four as fine frigates as any in the French navy."
[Capt. Gold was boarded by this squadron off the port the day they sailed, and was asked many questions about British cruisers.]
JUNE 30. Capt. Smith, arrived here on Saturday, in 13 days from St. Pierres, (Mart.) informs that JEROME BONAPARTE arrived at Fort Royal on the 6th inst. in an 80 gun ship—that shortly after he came to anchor, a British frigate appeared off the harbor, when Jerome got under way and stood out to give her battle; but, just as the ships were prepared for action, another British frigate hove in sight, which induced the GALLANT JEROME to return hastily into Fort Royal Harbor—An embargo was then laid, which continued four days. The two British frigates, remained off the harbor when Capt. Smith sailed.
WARREN: SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1806. AMERICAN ANNIVERSARY.
Yesterday was celebrated in this town, the ANNIVERSARY of AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE—the morning was ushered in under a discharge of seventeen cannon—at eleven o'clock a procession, preceded by the Company of FEDERAL BLUES moved to the Baptist Meeting-
House, where the Citizens, by their countenance, were highly gratified with the performance—and without adulation, we can say, the Orator, Mr. SAMUEL RANDAL, displayed his abilities as a scholar and politician—who, with the Reverend Clergy, and the Ladies and Gentlemen, which performed the several pieces of music, received, as they justly merited, the approbation of a crowded audience—on leaving the meeting-house the procession formed and moved by a circuitous route to Col. Goss's Hall (under the discharge of cannon) where an excellent dinner was provided, and the day closed in hilarity, good order, and peace.
The number of Dollars imported into China, by American vessels, in 1803 and 1804—1805, amounted to 4,357,300!
The U. S. brig Hornet, Capt. DENT, which bore out the two millions of Dollars, arrived at L'Orient, in 22 days from New-York.
A letter has been received at St. Helena, at the date of the last intelligence from thence, that peace had been concluded between the British and all the powers of India.

Providence, June 28. Arrived, on Saturday last, ship Asia, Pearce, 118 days from Canton: sailed Feb. 22, and left ship Pennsylvania Packet, Carlson, for Philadelphia, in a few days; ship Reaper, for do. 20 days; ship Taber, and Egeria, of Providence, uncertain where bound; ship Crittenton, Chace, of Nantucket, for Port Jackson; and brig Pennsylvania, of Philadelphia, bound homeward in 10 days; also, 13 English ships; — at 4 P. M. in passing the above ships, was fired at by one of the boats from them, in a most wanton manner, when we were in the act of bringing to. GEORGE PHILLIPS, a seaman, was shot through the arm, and several balls came very near others on deck. They then boarded us, and conducted themselves in a very insulting manner. March 12, anchored at North Island, (Straits of Sunda) where we found a Portuguese ship from Mocha bound to Lisbon; the captain informed that four American ships failed from that place March 10, supposed to be the ships Superior, and Hope, for New-York; Atahualpa, Adams, and Mary, Trefcot, of and for Boston. The ship Rising-Sun, of Newburyport, from Calcutta bound for Boston, was spoken the 11th April. On her way to China, in December last, the Asia went through the Gilolo passage, (in the Archipelago of the Moluccas) in preference to Pitt's or Dampier's Straits, which are intricate and dangerous; Whereas the Gilolo passage is both safe and easy. Excepting at the entrance, between Obey Major and several islands to the eastward, it is 7 leagues wide. The course is to pass close to the island of Gomono, off the south part of Obey Major, lat. 1, 35, S. long. about 128 E. of Greenwich; from thence to the southward of Polo Gaffes, off the eastern point of Obey Major, and several small islands to the eastward. They are all bold, and without danger, except what is visible. Leaving
these islands, you have a clear and open passage to the northward (the current being in your favour in the N. W. monsoon) until you come up with the Gabee. You pass to the westward of this, between it and Moor Island, off the eastern point of Gilolo. Thus much for the information of those who are not acquainted with this very commodious passage, in adopting which, the Asia no doubt saved much time.
New-York, June 27. Arrived, brig Patty, Dolliver, in 37 days from Tercera. Left, no Americans. Capt. D. in lat. 40, long. 50, was boarded by a French frigate, (3 French ships of the line in company) treated politely, and informed that this squadron was bound to France, and particularly cautioned Capt. D. against falling in or speaking any British ships of war, as Great-Britain, was at war with the United States!
June 30.—Arrived, Danish sloop Fox, Tatem, in 16 days from St. Croix. June 24, in lat. 36, 24, long. 71, was boarded by an officer from a small armed ship, with a head and yellow sides, two armed schooners then in company, all under British colours. The officer did not ask for the papers of the Fox, nor did he make any enquiries about the cargo, but was very particular in his queries respecting General Miranda. When the officer was leaving the Fox, he desired Captain Tatem to report, that he had been boarded by His Majesty's ship Cowpen. From the description of this ship, and other circumstances, Capt. Tatem believes it was the Leander, with Miranda on board.
A letter from a gentleman at Halifax, dated June 12, to the owners of the ship Herkimer, lately captured off the Hook by the British frigate Leander, says—"The Herkimer, arrived here yesterday; and lies safely moored under the guns of the captors. The captain and supercargo have both been examined on the standing interrogatories, and I presume that the ship will be libelled in the course of 3 or 4 days. Charleston, June 18.
Arrived, the ship Port Mary, Berry, Angola, 359 slaves. The Port Mary was plundered off the port a second time by the French privateer Vengeance, of 7 guns; the captain of which threatened to flog Capt. Berry, if he did not keep out of his way.
Philadelphia, June 27. Arrived, brig Kentucky, Cranston, New-Orleans, 20 days. Capt. Cranston, left New-Orleans 5th inst. informs that the ship Botticelli, for New-York, ran on the bar, where she will be lost; the passengers quitted her and came in the Kentucky, who put several of them on board a Virginia pilot boat, for Baltimore. The Mentor, Hunt, and Union, Johnson, for this port, were to sail in 5 days after Capt. C.—The waters in the Mississippi rose to a considerable height, the latter end of May, and brought down a large quantity of produce, which a great number of vessels had been waiting for a long time. On the 24th inst. off Cape Florida, the Kentucky was boarded by the British ship Cambrian, who pressed 3 of her steerage passengers, several of them men of property, having several thousand dollars freight on board, and were very abusive to the cabin passengers; some time after pressing the above, by the representation of one of the passengers who went on board the Cambrian, they were all returned.
A letter from Halifax, dated 31st May, says—"The brig Ranger, of Wolfcote, has been condemned, for having on board a few poles, which they said would make Royal yards."—The brig Hannah, Ropes, of Salem; from Leghorn, has arrived here, sent in by the Leander.—This brig was loaded with sugars, bound to Naples, and was boarded on her outward bound passage by a British frigate, and on examination found that her sugars were imported into the United States, in two vessels, for which reason she was permitted to pass. On her arrival in the Mediterranean, she was informed by a man of war brig that she could not enter Naples; she then went into Leghorn, discharged her cargo, and when returning home with a considerable quantity of specie, the proceeds of that cargo, was captured by the Leander and sent in for adjudication for the very reason that induced the others to let her pass." The writer was on board the Leander soon after the death of Pierce, when the Leander's stores were detained on their way from New-York; the officers were greatly exasperated, and threatened in case the officers on shore were insulted, to batter down the city!
The Gatham, Hall, from Boston, arrived at St. Michael's on the 13th April; on the 11th, she fell in with the Traveller, Russell, from Liverpool for New-York, having lost her rudder, and five and a half feet water in her hold; the Gatham took out part of her cargo and falls, and all the crew.

THE LADY'S MAN.
"Not all the favours, coquettes show, And smiles the sop is heir to, Could tempt me to become a beau, And feel as beaux appear to."
NO malice, no envy inspires The bard, his advice to disclose; The favour a toppling acquires, Will never disturb my repose.
Tho' sad, he must always seem gay; Tho' reflex, appear at his ease; Must talk, when he's nothing to say, And laugh, when there's nothing to please—
Must never look shy, nor afraid; Approve of non-sensical clatter, And smile at whatever is said, Good, bad, or indifferent—no matter.
If Nancy says, "Cresus was poor," 'Tis his to say yes, and agree; Or Charlotte, "two threes are but four," Correct 'em just four they must be.
Should Susan remark, "it is hot," His answer must be, "it is so; If Mary observe, "it is not," To her he consents and says, no.
Would any dispense with his mind, Bow, wheedle, sigh, whimper and pray, And hoodwink'd be led by the blind, To such, I have only to say,
Quit Paley and study to please, Read Chesterfield's system of laws, And then you may bark at your ease, In the sunshine of coquettes' applause. A. Z.
From the MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE.
The affecting HISTORY of CAROLINE MONTGOMERY :
[From "ETHELINDE; or, the Reluse of the Lake," a new and beautiful Novel, by Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH.]
I WAS then in my mother's arms: he took me tenderly in his, and said, "Intercede for me, lovely Caroline, with your mother! Ah! soften that dear, inexorable heart, and tell her, that for your sake she should quit an abode so unfit for you both, and accept the protection of a man, who will consider and provide for her Caroline as for a child of his own. He then hurried away, leaving a paper in which he had repeated all he had before said; and protesting that his first care should be to settle a fortune on me. That evening, my uncle and his family, who had been absent, returned, and it happened, that his wife, who was always rude and unfeeling, treated my mother with an unusual degree of asperity. Her brother too, whether from accident or from some intelligence he had received of his lordship's visits, spoke to her with great acrimony, reproached her with having been now above 12 months a burthen to him, and advised her to try if she could not procure a place as companion to a lady, or governess in a family; adding coldly, that he would in that case take care of me, and put me out to nurse, till I was old enough to procure a livelihood.
"Honour, and respect for the memory of her husband, had made in the breast of my mother a struggle, which this inhuman treatment rendered at once ineffectual. On one side, affluence, with the man whom she already loved more than she was aware of, and a certain provision for the infant on whom she doted, awaited her; on the other, poverty, dependence, and contempt: her child torn from her, and herself sent to service. The contrast was too violent: She retired to her room, and without giving herself time for reflection, wrote to lord Pevensey, and the next day quitting her inhospitable and selfish relations, without giving them any account of herself, the set out with his lordship for Paris. A servant was provided for me: all that love and fortune could offer were lavished on her; and at an elegant house on the banks of the Seine she was soon established, with a splendour which however served not to make her happy.
"Still conscious of the impropriety of her situation she could never conquer the melancholy that preyed on her mind though she sometimes thought, that to have the daughter of Douglas educated and provided for, as his lordship's fondness educated and provided for me, was in reality a greater proof of attachment to his memory than she would have shown, had she suffered me to have remained in the indigence and disgrace to which the penurious and ill-temper of my uncle
would have exposed me. The two sons, whom she brought my lord, shared her tenderness without lessening it; and while the utmost care was taken of their education, as soon as they were old enough to receive instruction, I had the best masters which Paris afforded; and, with such advantages, almost every European language, at an early age, became familiar to me. Lord Pevensey, who was as partial to me as if I had been indeed his daughter, and whose fondness for my mother, time made no abatement, saw with pleasure the progress I made, and flattered himself that he should establish me happily, though the situation of my mother (who though she was treated in France with great respect, was well understood not to be the wife of lord Pevensey), was a very unfavourable circumstance to me even in that country. The world however called me handsome; and I had received an education very different from that which is usually given to young women in France. On the day on which I completed my fourteenth year, lord Pevensey came to me, as I was dressing for a little entertainment which he had ordered on the occasion, and wishing me joy of my birth-day, he saluted me, and put into my hands a bank note of a thousand pounds. "Take it, my dear Caroline," said he, "as a trifling testimony of my affection for you. Use it for your smaller expences, and be assured that I will not neglect to make your future prospects equal to the education you have received, and to which you do so much honour."
"I received this generosity as I ought. Alas! my benefactor went in a few weeks to England, and I saw him no more. A strange presentiment of evil hung over my mother, whose health had long been very uncertain. She could not bear to take the last leave of his lordship; and he, who lived but to oblige her, still lingering, and delayed his journey, till repeated letters from those who had the care of his estates compelled him to determine on it. His two sons, one of ten, the other of eight years old, were by this time at a public school in England, and he promised to gratify my mother with the sight of them on his return, which he said should be as soon as he could settle the affairs which called him over."
"When he was gone, however, my mother fell into a deep melancholy; and as we were almost always alone together, she talked very frequently of the incidents of her past life, related the particulars I have repeated to you, and asked me whether I could forgive her for having thus been betrayed into a situation, which, whatever it might be in the sight of Heaven, would, in that of the world, render me liable to eternal reproach. It was in vain I conjured her to banish from her mind, reflections which served only to destroy an health so precious to us all. Still they recurred too often, and her delicate constitution very visibly suffered. After lord Pevensey, who had been used to write by every post, had been gone about six weeks, his letters suddenly ceased. My mother for some days flattered herself, that it was merely owing to his being on his journey back; but her hope gradually died away, and the most alarming apprehensions succeeded—apprehensions well founded. We were sitting together one morning, when a sudden bustle of the servants in the anteroom surprised us. I arose to enquire into the occasion of it, and, on my opening the door, was shocked by the sight of my two brothers, and their tutor, who had been attempting to prevent their sudden entrance. The poor boys on seeing me burst into tears, and exclaiming, "Oh! Caroline! my father!" They rushed by me, and threw themselves into the arms of their mother; who, wild with terror, had no power to enquire, what indeed they soon told her—"Oh! mama!" cried they, "our papa, our papa, our dear papa is dead! they have sent us here to you, they have taken him from us, and every thing that was his!"
"The tutor, who highly respected my mother, now attempted to take the children from her: but she held them in her arms, while with a look which I shall never forget, and with the voice of piercing anguish, she enquired what all this meant? The worthy man related, in a few words, that lord Pevensey had been seized with a fever at one of his country houses, where, after a few days illness he died: that his brother, who became heir to his title, had instantly possessed himself of all his effects, and had directed the two boys to be taken immediately to France, and to drop the name they had hitherto borne. With reluctance the tutor added, that the present lord intended in a few days being at the house we inhabited, in order to receive the jewels and other valuables which belonged to his brother."
"No tear fell from the eyes of the dear unhappy woman, no sigh escaped her heart. She desired me to tranquillize the poor boys (who still fondly clung round her, weeping for their dead papa), and complaining that she suffered great pain in her head, desired to be put to bed. I remained by her, and endeavoured to excite her tears, while mine flowed incessantly; but the greatness and suddenness of the calamity overwhelmed her constitution, though it still left to her mind strength enough to reflect on the condition of her children."
"Caroline," said she to me as I sat by her, "I shall probably be in a few hours reduced to that indigence, from which, perhaps, it were better I had never been relieved. But your brothers! for them, I suffer! The proceedings of the present lord Pevensey leave me little reason to hope that any will exist in England which secures them the ample provision their father designed for them. There are, in a box which my lord left, several papers which he told me were of consequence: but they will be taken from me unless immediately secured. Send therefore for Mr. Montgomery, and deliver to him that box."
"She then gave me a direction to him. I had never seen Mr. Montgomery, though he was a friend of my lord's. I hastened to execute her commands; he flew to the house on receiving my message; and, instead of a man of business as I expected, I beheld a young man of about seven and twenty, in the uniform of one of those Scottish regiments which were received by the king of France, after their master's affairs became irretrievable. He had been quartered for some time in a remote province; but being distantly related to, and highly esteemed by the late lord Pevensey, he had constantly corresponded with him, and had been entrusted with his intentions relative to my mother, my brother, and myself."
