TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

SIR,
In your paper of Tbnrsd.iy last there was an ac-
count from Charlestown, in America, of a slave
-having been put to the rack for the murder of his
master, and then committed to the flames. I wish
to know on what grounds any person, after reading
that paragraph, can again advocate the cause of
the wisdom or mildness of the laws of a country,
in which such ineconcileable inconsistencies exist,
as freedom and slavery, humanity and cruelty.. The
boast of the independence of Arne, ica was, at one
period, the delight of most of our patriots, and
many, in this country, look upon the Government
of America as the most philosophical and temperate
that ever was formed. Ni- 4 cr3lii are the writers in
praise of it, and how many of our countrymen have
been induced to emigrate thither from the plausible
descriptions which have been so assiduously pub-
lished of the civil and religious rights which all men
enjoy there.
But, on cool refle&on, it will be found, that, how.
ever hard the Americans have struggled for their
own liberty, and however anxious they are for its
preservation, they feel equal anxiety to continue
"those in a state of slavery who have, at least, as
good a title to their liberty as themselves; but what
a refinement in cruelty is it, not only to continue
the poor negroes as slaves, but to place them under
the most tyrannical laws that were, perhaps, ever
framed in any country professing Christianity, and
permit the miserable creai woes to be tortured to con-
fession ? Were these circumstances snore genorally
known among the lower order of people in Scotland
and Wales (tom whence the emigrations to Ame-
rica have been the most frequent), they would, I
should imagine, no longer feel an'inclination to re-
move to a country where the rack and torture are
santlioned by the laws, a. d where the original pos-
sessors of the lands are now in a state of bondage.
False representations could alone have induced any
of the inhabitants of Great Britain (who are ever
jealous of their liberty) to seek an abode in America,
where liberty is circumscribed by sordid and selfish
views, including some of its inhabitants within the
pale of it, and excluding others, in defiance of all
justice, which should universally form the basis of
every virtuous government.

Captain Show, the Commandant of the Harbour
Marine, in the port of London, is indefatigable in
carrying into execution the regulations contained in
the Loci) Ma von's order, respaing the admissions
of foreigl vessels into the port of London, at certain
hours. The passing above Bugsby's Hole, up the
Pool, between sun-set and sun-rise, is expressly pro-
hibited, and an armed schooner is stationed off
Greenwich, for the purpose of enforcing the prohi-
bition when necessary. On Monday night, a vessel
under Prussian colours, coming up with the tide,
attempted to pass, and not obeying the orders from
the raw-boats, was fired at until she brought to--
and obliged to come to an anchor under the shore.
In ftet every precaution is taken, as rcuch as if the
enemy were on our coasts.

loilitrrhursday afternoon the child of a private of
the.4.th dragoons, in the new Sussex barracks, about
fourteen months old, whilst at play near a keeler of
soap suds, which its mother had placed at the en-
trance of the door of her hut, by some accident fell
into it, and there remained, until it was discovered
by its father, and taken out to all appearance dead,
who, by the application of warm blankets, resto-
red it to animation ; but it was so affeEted by the
immersion, that it expired the neat day .in con-
vulsions.

Notwithstandinz the daily admonitions in the pub-
lic prints with respect to the wanton handling of fire-
Arms, we have to relate a dreadful accident which
happened on Friday last in the family of Mr. BocK.
LAND. attorney at law at Shaftesbury :—A fowling-
piece having been left loaded in the garden, while
his son went to the door to speak to a person, a boy
took it up, and snapping it at the servant girl, dis-
charged the whole of the contents in her face, shot
o.et both her eyes, and otherwise disfigured her in a
dreadful manner : she now lies with little hopes of
recovery.
