The Co:nphinant in this hill, states, that exe-

ws no price, or a fair price, can be obtained for his
..psopsirtj, awl that he has no other means of paying
Vie debts.
Upon these runty!. he applies to the Chancery

„audio a sale under tbcse execution's. I shall not

Of this ease oi.ly, or as a particular case, involving

.treader necessary the interposition of this
brauell of the Court. On the contrary, I shall view
this us a case iu which all our citizens are interested,
and us calcii!ated to establish a precedent for the
general benefit.
I eik this question—ls it not against equity and
,eriiiwience, is it not in the highest degree oppres-
sive. to compel the Sheriff to obey the mandate of
.a ir,•it of execution, when the facts are before the
whole pulilir, that the sale of produce, in its usual
course of trafde. is suspended, or bought up by mo-
ttled men, from the necessitous planter, for a song.

It has been. and is at this hour, a subject suffi-

pensions of soles is given wake people, relief cannot
be alordeil by this Court.

anti the coinfitutiorr lishe.itivested me their full
deliberation ; and though I do not possess all the
pow/error 61 Lord Chancellors because. by our local
. system, the interpewitiou of a jury is requiretl in
quitf costs, yet that system ea t, and does not,
interfere with these matters in Chancery, which in
their Mature must he exclusively referred to the
discretion of the Court. Of this stature, I consider
applieattoins fur the writs of injunction.
An injunction is a prohibitory writ. restraining a
person from cm:twitting or doing a thing which ape
. pears to be agonise equity and conscience.
This is the simple detioition gives, by one of the
elementary compilers. and it is aufScieistly com-
prtheosive for me to adopt it.
The principal use (nude of this writ, is, to re-
.straits some rigorous proceedings at law.
I shall then coosider whether a mole by the She-
riff, at this crisis of our aational affairs, big with
t-alateities, as I have before described, to the agri-
cultural interest, should he restrained as a rigorous
, proceeding at, low—and as a proceeding against
tqa:ty and conscience..
Ist. Is it a rigorous proceeding at law ? An
execution is the last stage of our common IA pro-
ceedile.t.. It places the person, or the proiwrty of
the Defendant, at the mercy of the judgment of
t:ut Creditor, who may make his electiou. lam
sotraiking of the execution of which nothing can he

Of this nature are ter- executions before us; and

be selected as tile most 'strongly illustrative of the
authority giveil by Vlllllll4lO law Judges to prece-
dent.

A Court of Equity is not so trammelled, it is
governed by mutorin rules of evidence, and a re-
spect is evinced in that jurisdiction for precedents,
yet they are Seldom permitted to stand in the way
of the particular circumstances of each case.
A Lord Chancellor in Great Britain is alMost as

to substitute the intention of an Act of Parliament
for its letter—he will push-aside precosloot for ab-
stract honesty. What are hinny cote, itts444ttity re-
ports, on the statute of fru tiebi .quirperjuries, but
indireit repeals of the plain cud literati requisites of
that all-importaitt statute
It is outs necessary .to advert to the nature of
law and equity, to account for the latitude of poster
given to the latter.
The law is stubborn and unbending. It marls
out for itself a course from which no faseination
can allure—no obstacle impede.
It neither looks to the right nor to the left.—
It neither relents or forgives. It issues its man-
dates, and will be obeyed. It takes into view no
consequences.
Fut jutitis is its maxim, whether contemplating
its operation upon a nation or au individual.
R e perceive at once, that each should be the
nature and effects of law, they necessarily result
from that indiscriminating and eternal justice upon
which the common law is founded.
Our ancestors felt, as we have felt after them, the
necessity of some tribunal, armed with the attri-
bute of alleviating the inesorabletiesa of the law.
This tribunal is called a Court of Equity, whose
decisions are guided by the particular circum-
stances of each case.

This Court of Equity lends mercy to the law,
and steps in as a kind of mediator between rigid
justice, as established by the artificial institutions
of society, and that justice which traces iti origin
to the laws of nature and of God.

In cases like these before me, the law places
every thing at your disposal. It holds out to you
the means of rioting upon the spoils of your neigh-
bour, your debtor. or the community.
The nation, in order to redress itself for out-
rages on its sacred rights, imposes distresses on its
own citizens. These distresses are the deprivation
of those means which heretofore poured wealth or
competence into the lap of the planter.
His ostensible wealth is. however, now the same.
He spews you his cotton, his rice, and his Negroes.
He proves to yea that his property has even greatly
accumulated since he engaged to pay your debt ;
but to pay that deist now, he tells you he is un-
able, unless a sale is directed by the Sheriff, the
consequence of which would be a payment to you
of four-fold, for a sale of his property now would
amount to a diminution of quadruple its intriusic
and ust value, and in that ratio less than it
would have sold for at market previous to the
embargo.
How immense, and, at the same time, how un.,
righteous are the advantages which the creditor de-
rives, if he himself becomes the purchaser, and pays
with his judgment ! how much more unrighteous!
and against conscience is a purse, under these cir-
cumstances, by a cap.talist, who, with his ready
money, speeulates upon the misery and:the ruin of'
the unfortunate debtor !

I shall, therefore, bottom my decision upon the,
abstnict grounds--that cases of this description in-
volve hardship and oppression—that they are
against equity and conscience--that they are pro-
motive of injury to the public—that they enable
monied men to accumulate minions wealth ; and
that they tend to convert a just and salutary mea-
sure of the Government into an engine of political
disaffection, through the medium of the feel-
ings of distressed and persecuted debtors.
Let the writ of injunction. therefore, issue, to
stay sales upon these executions, until the first day
of September neat, the Complainant depositing
with the Sheriff; when required, to meet the day
of sale, sufficient property, the valuation of which
to be aezertained by the price at market, three
months preceding the Embargo Act.

Tao dreadful hurricanes had visited the ,)land,

Of the small craft trading to the Islands of Bour-

no lives were saved.

The casualties in the French Establishineat at
Mailagasr•ar had been extremely numerous, owing
to timily mote people having remained there during
the had season than is customary with them. The
whole. almost, or chit rash adventurers, were swept
away by the diseases incident to the climate. Mr.
Marriott, the chief of the establishment, has been
one of the victims.

To recruit the regular troops, (which. in the pre-
sent situation of affairs, cannot be effected from
Europe,) Government have it in contemplation to
extend the laws of conscription, such as they exist in
France, to the Creoles, or native, of the Isles of

We have received a series of New York papers

our extracts is an impOrtAni case, which shewslhat
the embargo has suspended the laWs betwtelt debt-
or mud creditor. and diet dUriug this iestraint, a•

This mate of things cannot continue long—lf a

*ever did a cense so titaiverrayy popular agitate
the people of England. as that of the Spanish na•-
tron. It is seconded by, all thd energies Govern-
' anent ; it has the hearts and. bands of the nation ;
that every attempt to obtaiine public expression in
its favour, in .this Metropolis, should have failed,
mist, therefore, excite surprise—yet such is tie
fact. Colonel Gauss wee attemotfailed, and the
county of Middlesex meeting had eery littlelbstter
• fortune. We know no way of accounting for •Wm
so extraordinary, but by presuming the puislicK.el
that their opinion is already sufficiently expressed
in the conduct of Government, and the unaniiimus
voice.of the public press ; that attendance at such
meetings is a mere work of supererogation; and
that to catch a little popularity' from the biaise,... to
share the triumph and partake the gale." is the great
object of those who call fur and encourage them.—
Of the correctness of this opinion, the conduct of
some of the Newspapers, in their notice •f the
Middlesex Meeting, fUrnishes ample pro Of. It is
notorious that it was Mr. Powea's speech that gave
a decisive tuns, and a new impulse, to the dircus-
sion ; yet in some of the Newspapers, The Courier
particularly, Mr. Polymer name and speech are de-
si 'rill y suppressed, and the whole merit is attrib utc d
to Mr. Petty, of The Morning Chronicle, who fol-
lowed Mr. POWER. How disgraceful, in a news-
paper to thus impose upon its readers ; to mix its
little selfish passions in so glorious g cause ; and sa-
entice politic duty to personal pique and jealousy.
With such a case before us, we dread the result of
these public meetings. The conduct and the
speeches of those gentlemen who take an active
part in them cannot be suppressed or misrepre-
sented in the Newspapers without injury to the
public cause.
Notwithstanding the enthusiasm with which we
contemplate the glorious efforts now making by
the Spanish nation against crime and oppression ;
however warmly we approve every testimony of
.pulslic applause that can be bestowed on such a
people, and on such a struggle; yet we conceive
that even the shadow of interference with their
modes of conducting their future Government or
Constitution, should be studiously avoided. Un-
der this point of view, we incline to thick that some
of the doctrines, and perhap's some of the resolu-
tions, proposed and adopted at the Middlesex meet-
ing, on Tuesday, however well intended, were not
jed
_
icsoin.-.-The second resolution asserts, that
speople who will fight for their liberties, are
alone wonky of the friendship of a free ntition."—
Now, it appears to us, that the Spaniards are fight-
• ins, not for their " liberties," but for-their inde-
pendence as a csuntry, for •their Kirig, and for
their liberation from a foreign Usurper;' insolently
imposed on them by a perfidious and remorseless
Tyrant, who has deluged Spain with blood. It is
net for a civil constitution, resembling that orEng-
land, that Spain has taken up arms. triainestion-•
ably there are many wire and good men, who ar-
deutly look to •an amelioration of that vicious,
weak. and pernicious system of Government, whiell.l,
has prtrailed in Spain ever since the accession of
CNARLEs tile V., near three hundred years ago.—
They do not want to he informed, or to be ad-
' monished by the Freeholders of Middlesex, assem-
bled at 8. The Mermaid," that previous to the
junction of C stile and Arregon under one head,
those kingdoms wore free; indeed, infinitely more
free than a e are wader our present Constitution.
Every man who is acquainted with the Castilian
history, knows that they pos,:essed the right of
deposing their Kings, when those Sovereigns vio-
lated Or infringed the national franchises. A
right which they actually executed in the fifteenth
century, when they solemnly deposed Iles Rl' the
Foyer'', for his vices and mat-admiiii-K ration ;
placing on the vacant T. rone, by their voluntary
election, his sister, the celebrated ISABELLA of
CAsTILE. Arragon enjoyed similar, or errs greater,
rights; Biscay, the Asturias, and Leon, claim the
most unlimited civil, as well as political, immu-
nities. But it is not for their conservation that the
provinces of the Spanish Monarchy are now con-
tending. There is therefore a fallacy in pretend-
ing to assert it.

When the Flemings revolted from Putt.tP
in 1.567, it was the umnstmua infraction of all their
cilil and religious rights which impelled them to
resistance. When the Parliament of England. in
164 t, umiheathed the sword against Craft'.Ea I.
it was to prevent the ashitrary taxation of the I.tab-
led, and to compel him to rant them a free Con-
stitution. But Fortin makes on complaint against

a jovertmlerit more monarchical in its spirit, arid
mere vtiranjusis than ours. Her immense Colonies
requiretilNivise a .strong executive controul, to
prevent trieir imitating the example set them by
our otyn, only thirty years ago. These cansider-
ations should impel us to avoid the very appearance
of interfering in their plans of future internal
Legislation. When they have established a stn,
prente provisional Government, and expelled the
atrocious Invader of their territory, they will, lie
doubt, proceed, .without our advice. to place the
prospective stability and felicity of the Sovereign,
as well as of the people, on the most oolid founda-
(ions.

But, after all, since when is it that we oursebes
enjoy this free Constitution, of which we are so
vain? Does Ireland boast a much milder-Govern-
ment than Spam? Is it in the cruel, oppresslie,
and selfish system that this country his' pursue{
for agcs, relative to that loyal, brave,. and injured
people, that the Spaniards are to find a preceded
for their own practice ? Is it in the arbitrary acts
of Lord CAMDEN's Viceroyalty, or tinder the mill
administration of Lord CASTLEREAGII, that they
are to seek a model ? Or is it in the narrow, bigot.
ted, and proscriptive code against Catholics, actually
enforced in Ireland, that the Castilians, or Aste-
rians, dare to learn the principles of enlarged sod
enlightened toleration ? Let Mr. PFRCCIVAL
ply. Bat these considerations are foreign to tko
matter before us. It is not to make Spain inter-
nally free; it is to render her independent of a fe-
rocious in►ader, that we are sending arras, amine.
nitiou, money. and trioops. It is to secure our own
independence and existence as a matioe, against the
scourge of humanity, and the Tyrant of Europe.
To these primary °hips.; we should limit our ea-
ertions, and !cavil to Spai■ the task of legisist:r;
for herself. We may wifely rely on the virtue of
people, who, bereft of their Soverei7,ns, of their
choicest troops, and of all continental aid ; yet
rose, like one man, toreclaint their /Ohl, to expel
the Usurper, and to taild'...tain their national nide-
