Weresunie this department of miscellany, and
.shall recur to it as often, as we have room, when-
ever any new work, literary or political, may de-
serve the notice of our Readers. The pamphlet
'before us is written with vigour; and in general
with a vein of andour ; and though the author
indulges himself sometimes in an evident partiali-

in the political world, vet he also freely acknow-
ledges their faults, and, pointedly animadverts up-
on their misconduct.- We shall at present select
that part of his- work -which relates to the scan

selves his ' EARLY' FatiNns," though, 'because
their ambition. and venality were disappointed,
they soon disclosed such feelings, and were guilty
of such gross and infamous personalities., that
they manifestly proved themselves utt;r strangers

every liberal sentiment, and even of all sense of
public decency.. Referring, to this subject, in

-" Bat not. contented with their oblique attacks
of the Prince Regent at every step of the Negoci-,
ation's, their press daily teemed with libels against
his Royal Highness or his friends=---such gross and
seandatous libels as evinced: the mean disposition
of the base calumniators. From these illiberal
.proceedings two facts arise—The first is, that -the.
Prince, if -he previously wanted proofs, has now
the satiSfactioa Of knowing his Friends, and- that
he may look for them in vain among the Opposi-
tion Party. The second is, that his " Early
Friends,'' now his " late Friends," have„ by un-
provoked aggressions, banished themselves, per-
haps for, ever, front the Councils of his. Royal
Highness and that were the Prince . Regent to
be unfortunately troubled with bad or inefficient
Ministers, he would never be induced to change
them for the substitution of men who could be
guilty of countenancing such personal insults.—
Who is there without some faelts or weakness
But what .taster ;would choose to employ servants
who could evince such malignant anxiety to expose
and revile him, whether their allegations were
well or ill founded % And we are apprehensive
that there are some persons in Opposition who
would not scruple to sacrifice any friend, or -any
affair of importance, for the sake of a joke. Such
men ought to be carefully avoided by every friend
of society, especially- by great and dignified cha-
racters. _

Notwithstanding :Al this doenmenniry evidence,
Tunjamin Waine swore positively, in reply to the
standing interrogatories of the Court of Adrni-

rally, that Jeronimo Vicente. was sole owner of
the said schooner, and ,that the slaves oh board
were to he soli! for the real account, risk, and be.-
netit, of the said Vicente. He took upon himself
fort her-to swear, that he believed that, at the time
of_litcHg the said slaves, and at the present time,
and also if the said slaves should be unladen at
the destined' purr, they (lid, do, and will•belong
to the said Vicente, and no other."
• James Usher, the chief mate, born in Rhode
Island, a freeman of the town of Bristol, in that
state, :and whose
,wife and family reside in that
town, stated that the vessel carried rum, tobacco,.
and lumberfrom Boston to St. Michael's, where
she was sold to a Portuguese, And took in slave
, irons,. and also dry goods, beads, arms, &c. which
were afterwards e- xehanged for negroes.. Ninety-
three slaves, some rum and tobacco, were on
bo:kil at the.time of the capttu'e. This gentle-
man would not swear that the sale at St.-Michael's
was real. •

2. CASE OF TIIE•SCHOONER FSPERANZA, JEIIONIMO

N-xcENTE.

This schooner was built in Virginia, and, was
called the Fair Trader. ;The becaine, in 1899, the
„property of two merchants; either of New-York
in Boston, or- both, named Jacob :Ogden, jun.
and John B. Frazier. -In November y 1809, • hese
persons gave the command of. her to Benjamin
Waine', a native of Boston, Who, with his %life
and family, resid.ed at Holloway, in' the state of
Massachusetts. The ye:;sel was Cleared out from
Boston to. a port or pofts in ;south America. A
letter -of instructions, bearing fiats November;ls;
1809, was addressed by the ow-orers to Mr.Waine;
which letter Mr. Waine had carelessly omitted to
.destroy; or to leave bfaind him. It vas found_ -
board; and is as follows :
• •

" Boston, Nu r. 13, 120

" Captain Waine will proceed from this to St.
Michttel's, andendeavour to.get his vessel put un-
der Portuguese 'colours, if he can do it in Safety:
He Will obtain pc:mission to proceed to Africa,
and thence to the Havannah, and have the vessel
consigned, by the Portuguese nterehant, to Frail-
Cisco Hernandez, of that place, with orders to
dispose of; the cargo, and account with Jacob Og-
den, jun. or John B. Frazier, for the net proceeds.
Capt. Waine will also receive, powers limn his
merchant to sell the vessel in Havannah if he
chooses, or to proceed from thence ,elsewhere.;--
Thu men-chant in St. Michael's ahOulti be induced
to Write as soon as possible,' and send the neces,
sari- information, that we may make insurance in
this place. If Capt. Waine should find his
proses exceed in amount the cash which he has
with him, he will draw on .T. B. Frazier and J.
Ogden, and his bills shall he duly honoured.—
'Capt. Waine will see that the proper documents
are forwarded to as to cancel 0111. bonds. It lie
should not be able to accomplish his business in
St. Michael's as it should be, he will then proceed
to T,,meri 11. e ; and if Mr. Wm. Stocker is, still there,
he will deliver the letter to him, and receive his
advice in all his transactions- in that 'place ; •bat if
he should have left before the arrival of the
schooner, he will present the letter which is di-
rected to Vessrs. Madin Brothers, and explain to
them, verbally, the precise situation of the'busi-
ness, and destroy the letter to Stocker immeati-
atelV.: Always bear in mind that it is necessary
to send us the proper Information, to enable us to
make insurance. before the transfer is
.made, it
will be well to see if the present Captain and his
two Mates will, be allowed to go in her. The
men should be induced to go if possible, even if
it were necessary to increase their wages consi-
derably. The second mate may be allowed, ex-
chtsive of his Wages., one of the cargo, oil the safe
arrival of the vessel at the Havannah. It has.
been Oa-reed that the first mate should have two ;
and if the cargo should amount to 175 on arrival
in Havannah, he is to have three. Yourself to
reicive five per cent. on the amount 'of sales in
/-Taraanah, , It iK an object to get a peaceable
young man for your Captain, to carry the papers.
Before you undertake to transfer the vessel, you
will see, your way clear, and aseertain whether
any difficulties will be like4y to arise in the course
of voila ,business that arc insurmountable. On
your arrival at St. Michael's, you 'will pretend
you arc after snpplies of poultry and wine ; and,
,cas soon as possible, do you explain your wishes,to
your merchants and state to 'him the whole design
of the voyage. Request him to forward to us a
letter, directed to Hernandez, directing him to
take charge of vessel and cargo on her arrival in
Ilavannah. You will endeavour to have the com 7
plete arrangement of the expedition placed in
your hands. The Portuguese Captain should be
made to understand that he mast leave all to you.
You had better get Stiflicient power' from your
new owner to place time expedition altogether nu-
der your yontrout. 1•F you find you Cannot do
your business to your satisfaction, you may advise
with your friend about touching at Fayal, where
vessels' papers have frequently been changed with
the greatest facility ; being careful, always who
you get to cover the property. If you think best
to go there, you are at liberty to , do it. It will
be a gleat object to get. your papers without un,-
loading ; but you utust get the proper dot:animas
to send us to cancel our bonds. Act in all cases
carefully, and endeavour, to foresee the difficulties
you will have to encounter. Do not let the Ame-
rican Consul suspect that you 'were tariginally de-

Besides the above persons, the following Ame-
ricans were on hoard :—James Hinton, "second
mate; Jeptirah. Trig, .Charles Willis, Thomas
Thompson,' Obed B. Hussey, Richard AVithaws,
Charles Grace, and Jereniiah Vail, seamen ; John
Wawa, cook; and Thos. W. Lyle", boy.

" Every man has some failing, sonse-peculiar-'
ity -that he would not wish to be -satirised or ex-
posed-7-Ana how could even the purest of the Par-
ty venture to employ servants whose greatest plea-
sure they know-would be to expose their master,
and hold him up to censure and ridicule. But the
.Opposition press, ever sinee the Prince . Regent
'preferred, the services of the present Ministers
(soon after the Restrictions ceased) has been ac-
tivelyemployed in reviling and satirising the Prince
and his
.6-iends.. No wonder therefore that Colo-
nel the Prince's long approved /and
(Aid:Jul servant, together wiphscveral other high-
ly unexceptionable chnacters, should have. -been
held up to-censure and exposure both within and
without Parliament.

(To be continued.)

" In attempting to humiliate the Princeltegent
any Fcrson may observe, and observe with asto-
nishment, the extraordinary pains which the
" Early Friends' taken to accomplish the ,
degradhtion, to expose the weakness of their own
character ! They become candidates for ministe-
rial authority, and as an earnest of their duty to
his Royal Ilighness,, they satirically declare, that
they disapprove of " altnostall the leading features
of the policy of the empire." This is certainly a
very eccentric mode of recommendation to the di-
rection of Government; but it is a mode which
the Opposition chose to adopt.: it is a mode of ex-
ercising their sarcastic powers at ,the expence of
his Rival flightless ; it is, in fact, telling him,
that'the Peninsular war, and " almost all'' the
measures of Government; ,to which his Royal
Highness has given his countenance and supp(4l,.
meet with their disapprobation ! is not this the
langage of peevishness at, spleen, not to say insult
Is it wise as statesmen, or-decorous as gentlemen
Would any of the Oposition Members themselves
venture to employ a servant who oh -a first inter-
view for place sliculdsay—'lls true I am a candi7
datc for your service, but I make no scruple •of
assuring you that I disapprove of "-almost all"
your conduct, and therefore you must in future.
follow Inv advice, and have no will of your own
We believe neither of the Noble Lords would'ent- -
ploy such a serilntor servants ; and yet the Prince
Regent, with a dignified and magnanimous con-
tempt of such unbecoming and wretched. re-
proaches, and in conformity to what his Royal
ilighness conceiveeas a public duty, intimated,
through the medium of Lord Moira, that he would
eceBpt of their-services, and had no party priliti-
dic6, no party exclusions whatever. To men of
feeling this was the strongest possible reproof;
-and it is to be coped, although th,e Opposition
'Members; as partizans, are not remarkable for de-
licacy of sentiment, that they felt it with every
degree of acuteness, and every point of pun-
gency. .

(To be contimied.)

On Tuesday . last, James Hall, farmer,
.and
Semuel Blow, miller, both of the parish of Holton
Beckering,.. Lincolnshire, wcrc, on the.informa-
tion of the Rev. John Talc, the Rector, 'charged
before Richard Elinbirst, Esq. on of his. Majesty's
justices of the Peace .for that county, with scan-
dalously profaning the preceding Sabbath,---Hall
viug alloty,ed two of-his labourers to devote the
wbolc of that day' to reaping corn • and Blow
baying suffered his mill to he at work, not' only
the greater part-Of the day, but during divine ser-
vice. They were both convicted' in the full penal-
ties, agreeably to the statute. The money was
laid out in bread, to be distributed. amongst the
poor people of the village.

It appears, from the similarity of hand-writing in a note
found among the ;papers, that the American Consul is the
partner of Messrs, Sealy and Roach.; and the receipt fur the
40001. affords Strong presumptive proof, that :tins. ultimate
destination of.the hria, could nut be uniwown to. this 11PilSe.,
.•

Accordingly 'Mr. Waine proceeded to St. '.lli-
clia'el's,,.where, with the help-of Alessi's. Ivens and'
•Burnett, niefchat!ts-thei.e, he had the vessel trans-
ferred.to erne Jeronimo Vicente, who lent his son,
b:ering the same name, to Mr. Wain,,, as a cap-
tain, at forty dollars a month, Mr: Waine being
converted into the supercargo. Tlie new owner
then stoned a letter of instructions, which iS evi-
dentry in,theliand-writing Of Ivens and Burnett,
and in which Mr. Waine is directed to remit the
proceeds, meaning; as ciearlv appears front other
papers, merely the price of and son's services,
to William S. Burnett, Esq. No.. 78, Queen-
street, thcapside,. London-, or to band diem to
Mr. Jacob liariser, of Newyork, who is to pass
them to the'credivof Messrs. llicklin and Angiin,
of St. Michael's. A- letter was also fOund on
board froin John 'Stoughton, of Boston, dated No-
vember 14, 1805, to Bernard Cologan, &q. Te-
nerilfe, recommending Mr. Walk! as brother to.
deserving gentleman, and an enterprising young
man.

-,By Nevs=York Paper of the 27th of June, it
appears that a seaman, named Erring, a native of
tliis town, Was tarred and feathered by the crew
of the ./,:sea frigate, (2apt, Porter, for refusing to
tight against his country. 'Phis base conduct ex--
cited much indignation at New-York, and a state-
inent was published front the man's own deposi-
tion, to clear the city 'from any participation in
the affair. The deitosition state, that " John
ErringewaS horn in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Eng-
land ; that he has resided within the United
'States since 1800, and has serer beennituralizede
that on Ihe 14th of October, 1311,1 e entered on
board.the Essex, and joined-her at Norfolk; that
capt. Porter, on the 26th of June, cawed all
banns to be piped on deck to take the oath of al-
legiance to the U.Rited .t,tateB, and gave thorn to
understand that any Man who did not chuse•to do
so should be discharged ; that when deponent
heard his name cancel, he told the Captain, that ,
being a British subject, he must Tefuse taking the
oath ; on which the Captain • spoke to the Petty,
'Officers, and told them they must pass sentence
on him ; that they then put' him in the petty
launch .which lay aloagsi4e the frigate, and there
poured a bucket of tar over him, and then laid on
a quantity of feathers, having first stripped hint
naked from the waist, thatthey then rowed him
ashore stern foretnost, and landed hint. That-he
wandered about from street to street, in this con-
dition, not knowing where to go, until Alr:Ford
took him into his- shop, to save him horn the
crowd then beginning to gather; that he staid
there until the police magistrate took hint away,
and put hint in .the city prison for protection,
where he was cleansed and cloathed. None of
the citizens molested or insulted him: lie says
he had a protection, which he bought of it man in
Salem, of the same name and description with
himself, for 4s. Gd. which •he got renewed at the
Cnstom-house, Norfolk.—lre says he gave as an
`additional reason to the Captain, why he did not
chuse to fight against his own Cotintry,, that if he
should be taken prisoner he would certainly be
hung."—The story shall be closed by asking the
reader a simple question : suppose the C;ivir:in of
air English frigate should sufferhis men to tar anal
feather an Ainerican sailor in the port of London,
because be would, not joie in a eruize to
.fight
against his own country, what would you think
and say of such an action 1--.-(Ty!re iskiercierj) -
On Monday afternoon, as 'a butcher was dri.v-
ing an ox up Water-house-lane, Hull, the animal
made 'for the pump-house, at the water-works,
and the door being open, walked in very delibe-
rately, to the great astonishment of the men at
work. The floor of the room giving why, he fell
into the cistern underneath, about flee feet deep
in Water, WilP.ll; he reinal.o4, some hours, before
he could be extricated. • s -

There was a large Thew of cattle at Barnstaple
fair on Saturday hp.:t ; the demand was very 'great,
and nearly' the whole sold at high prices. The
horse fair was not so large, as usual, .but good
horses sold Weil. At the -wool-fair prices advanc-
ed, but the demand was not great. Thc
pockets were very active : the Clerk of Mcssis.

pockets picked of notes to the atnount of five
hundred and thirty pounds,witla
