Brn,—Baving received your Excellency's permission for the British
neaps Philippa and Mulgrave Castle to proceed on their voyage, we
whose names are under: rned„ feel it to be a duty that we owe to the
owners of those ships, and the valuable property on board of them, to
the underwriters both on ships and property, and to the Government
whose subjects we arc, to protest, and we do hereby mot solemnly pro-
test against all the violent measures which your Excellency has
thought proper to adopt towards us during our stay at Pray a, a port
which was sought by the Commander of the Mulgrave Castle, when
that vessel was in distress, and alien he naturally expected to receive
every degree of protection, support, and assistance his situation re-
qaircel. How far his expectations have been fulfilled by the eireurne
seiner' detailed in Captain tiarrniaton's second letter to yonr Excel-
lency, mulct date May :26, or how far the relations of peace and amity
betwe n two friendly posers have been preserved by your Excellency
towards us irenerally, it is not our purpose here to inquire; but we shall
draw up a ?ill' and correct statement of the whole of those violent
Ineasaires which acre the subject of this protest, and lay the same as
soon as possible before his Excellency the Right lion. Viscount Strang-
ford, the British Ainhaisador at the Court of Brazils, to be by him
tubmitta to the Prince lteeent ef Portugal, and to the British Govern-
ment. We have the hono•ir to be,
(Signed by the Officer. and Passengers.)

Ur. Hunt, whn, when Clerk of the Ordnance, so freely
'allandled the public money? and ultimately evaded justice by
running away, dirA, it is said, not long since in France, in cir.
rienvtances very different from his former flourishing con-

di: ion.
The practice among tradespeople of exposing their goods
upon cloths and forms upon the pavement outside their doors
has increased with the decline of trade, and since the Intro-
duction of Bazaars. In this state they appear like 'lost or
kbandoneil ;mots, as..l tempt the needy or dishonestly-disposed
passenger to pick them up. A man was apprehended in
Oxfoial-stri t far a robbery, in carrying off a bundle which lay
thus in his way, with many others, in front of a shop in that
street. He wa,, we are assured, the sixth person arrested fur
a similar offence lately committed at the same shop.
In one last we gave the particulars of the execution, in the
Ohl Bailey, of Boyce, Mayeock, and Gregory. The latter
maintained his innocence to the last; brat declared that he
freely forgone the person on whose evidence he was con-
demned. We have seen an affidavit from Elizabeth Coward,
the winless alluded to, stating, that she was to have been
married to Gregory ; that at his solicitation she hie! handed
Urn Ilia stock receipt for intending, as she could not then
attend to sell the same, that he should raise some money on it;
en which occasion he promised to meet her on the following
tainday, which failing to do, (as she now believes through mis-
take as to the appointmenZ) she experienced great disappoint-
ment; and living applied to by a person connected with the
Bank of England to know If she Lail consented to the transfer,
while suffering jealousy and .:eking revenge, and igno-

really the truth) that she had not givea airliority for the said
traust'er, though from sithseenent afircumstarices slie believes
that Gregory must 1 ay:: understood that she did. The ;Off.

sem, she has fell the most severe remorse at being the sole wit-

MAXIMS OF INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY.
BY DR. B. PR IeNKLIN.
Remember that time is mmiey. He that can earn Bs. a
ty by his labour, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of the
day, though he spends but 6d. during his diversion or idleness,
ought not to reckon that the only espence: he has really spent,
or thrown away, 31. besides.
Remember that credit is money. If n man lets money lie in
my hands after it is due, he gives me the interest, or to much
as I can make of it, during that time. This anion:as to a con-
siderable sum if a man has large credit, sad make. a good use
of it.
Remember that money is of a prolific gene.aileg, nature.
Money cite beget money, 411(1 its Offsln•iug can beaut inure, and
so mi: !es. nulled is Gs.: turn it again it is la. 3d. and se on,
till it becomes 1001. The mere there is of it, the more it pro-
duces every turning; so that the profits rise quicker and
quicker. He that kills a breeding sow destroys ull her off-
spring, to the thousandth geueration. Ile that murders a crown,
destroys all it might huve produced, even scores of pounds.
Remember that six pounds a year is but a groat a day. Fur
less than 'his little stun, es kith may tinily be wasted in time or
expellee unperceived, a man of credit, may, on his own st en-
tity have constant use and possession of 101. So much in
stock, briskly turned by au industrious luau, product's great
advantage.
Remember this saving." that the good paymaster is Lord of
another man's purse." He that is known to p;ty punctually,
and exactly, to the time he promises, may at any time, mid on
any occasion, raise all the money his friend can spare, This
is sometimes of great use; therefore never keep borrowed
money an hour beyond the time you promised, lest a disappoint-
meet shot your friend's purse for ever.
Good natured creditors (and soda one would always chnse
to deal with, if one could) feel pain when they are obliged to
ask for money. Spare them that pain, and they will respect
you. When you receive a sem of money, divide it among them
in proportion to your debts. Do not be ashamed of paying a
small sum, because you owe a greater. Money, more ur less,
is always welcome; and your creditor had rather be at the
trouble of receiving 101. voluntarily brought him, though at ten
didereet times or payments, than he obliged to go ten different
times to demand it, before he can receive it in a lump. It
shows that you are mindful of what you owe, it makes you ap-
pear careful, as well as an honest man, and that still increases
your credit.
Beware of thinking all yonr own that you may possess, and
of living accordingly. It is a mistake that many people who
leave credit fall into. To prevent this, keep an exact account
of your expences and income. If you to►e pains to mention
particulars, it will have this good effect—you will discover
how wondei fully small trifling expences amount up to large
sums; and will discern what might have been, and may for the
future, be saved, without occasioning any great inconvenience.
In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as
the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, /*instil
and Frugality; that is, waste neither your time nor money,
but mike the best use of both. He that gets all lie can, and
saves all lie gets, (necessary expences and acts of charity ex•
' cepted t, will certainly become rich ; if that Being, who goy erns
the world, to whom all should look for a blessing on their/.
honest eudeavoiirs, dulls nut in his wise Providence: ukherwise-
