EMIGRATION.

By a Letter received at Glasgow, and noticed
in The New- Times, we find that the wretched
Renegade, COBSETT, after flying over more ac-
enpaiions than Autotycus, is settled for the mo-
ment at New Yolk as a retail dealer in cabbage
and turnip-seed ! We expect to hear of him
shortly as a pig-driver, for we learn that the streets
of New York are grievously infested with a
swinish multitude, of the breed of this and other
countries. To the Letter from Glasgow, we have
i! in our power to edd the following from one of
th,.. unhappy Emigrants, whom the atrocious writ •
ings of COBSETT and his followers have seduced
in myriads nom their native home, and consigned
to late rrpentance and despair. The Letter is
ittrected Jo an Inhabitant of Portsmouth

" N YORK,ATUNE, 19, 1919.
" I am at present in the same employ as at first, the painting
business. Wages are reduced gewerally, and are expected to
he lower, as work is scarce, and mechanics plenty ; indeed
too plenty, for many have returned, nut tieing able to get em-
ploy. Mtn who visit this_ part of tlie world are much
-disappointed as' to the climate. mdifners of the people,
and employ. Mr. Chamberlain (forme 4 chandler 'of Port-
sea) is in employ at ,2 1. 2s. per month, and board and lodging,
but he works uncommon hard, like the rest of US.' Mr. Cox,
late ef Portsea, and Mr. Rumiey, late of Point, have left New
York for the country, about .2000 miles off, and about 60 or
70 others, who will never. in my opinion, .return, as the,
country ts ten thousand times worse than' this city; there is
no society, no rri,n,y, and no fresh provisions but once hi a
month or t wo,•sts they have no shops nor stores in the coon-
• try ; every one has to kill Isis own, consequently they get only
the first meal fresh. as they must salt the rest to make it keep.
The country; as .T is here called, is like a wilderness for thou-
sands of miles, as thei is is not iiing to be seen but trees, rocks,
and hills, astiarreo as the worst commons in England ; one
house in shoot 20 or 30 miles is all that is to be seen. As for
the (Tinted States, all through, they are, in•My opinion, on
the decline.; scarce any money tot be-seen ; paper is thti al-
most entire circulation all over the country, and half that is
cauaterfrit. Banks are ton prevalent ; they are continually
brra'ising as well as the merchants. I received nine dollars
of me wages last night of a Bank which is now broke, called
the Washington : the Warren and other Bards ate broke, as-
also the Ontario, the Hudson, the Niagara Banks, and ,marry
others; in fact, evetylhing seems on the decline, and public
credit lost. This, with a very hot summer, the hardness ut
labour, and the.prospect of a long tedious cold winter, pro-
duce long and pitiful faces on emigrants, who are continu-
ally arriving here; and often cause both men 'arid women to
shed tears. These are plain, honest facts; believe me I atu
not like Mr. Lowe (lately.a hair-dresser of Halfway-house,
and a well-known Cobbettite,) shamefully to advise my coun-
trymen, whom I loYe in general sincerely at heart, to
come and partake of that freedom so • much talked of,
hut which I have never yet seen ; or to ,`partake of 'fine
turkeys, fowls, geese, eggs, &c. &c. which are as rare here
as ever I found theta in England, and equally as
dear. He and Cobliett are cursed from morning till.
night by Emigrants, whom they have deluded by their io-
famous representations. Cohbett had his house burnt down
at Long Island, where he first lived ; he has since removed
to New York, where be now sells garden seeds : I w, oder his
family can sleep at night, as they are continually in danger.
What shall we say of these deceivers of mankind ? Cohhett
deluded the minds of the people with hit representation of
silver dollars, &c. whilst he refused to give to two journey-
men carpenters, who he invited to this country, any thing
more than their hoard for their labour: as for dollars, L have
seen more tagether in a Jew's shop window in England, at
one time, than I have seen altogether since rhave been lied.
If what I have written dues not satisfy those who read it, I
would refer them to the bearer of this, Mr. P. who will give
every information I have omitted. [The person alluded to

"' Mr. Main got employ, after being here seven weeks; Mr.
Adams and Mr. Elliott, Shipwrights, applied to the British
Consul to be sent borne, but were refused, Shipwrights get
, about is. per day, when employed. Although wages are low
in your Dock-yards, Shipwrights had bettei remain in Eng-
land, as they are worse here. We generally pay td. ;or cut-
ting Miriam! 3d. for shaving, but Luwe cuts and shaves at
half-price. Persons coining here should bring beds, pats,
'kettles, &c. hfshort every thing but di airs and tables. Bown,
'the tailor, late of Portsmouth, is here; and his father; aged
72, and mother, aged Si, arrived here thiaday."
A stranger confirmation of the perfect accuracy
of this description cannot be produced than the
following quotation from the Remark's on Mr.
FeAriost's " Travels" in the last Quarterly Re-
view. We invite the attention of our Readers to
the conclusion of this extract, which, for do-
, -.pence, pathos, and beauty of composition, -will
nut easily be paralleled a'ny work of modern

times
" The Fiftli Report' is dated from Shawnee town, in the
Illinois territory; and embraces observations and occur-
rences along the line between that place and Philadelphia.
Passengers on foot, on horseback, and in waggons, crowded
the road in their way to the Western coui.try. Thee ttavelled
generally in companies, in order to assist one another in get-
ting she waggons over the rugged and steep mountains; and
the progress was so slow and painful, that Mr. Festron says •
he generally „preferred walking; this too afforded him an op-
portunity of entering into the views alai little binaries of
his fellow-travellers. He found the women most communi-
cative. The first I conversed with was sitting upon a log,
which served for the double purpose of a seat and a tire;
their waggon bad broken slow) the day before : her husband
was with it at a distant blacksmith's she hail .been seated
there all. night: (thermometer from 211 to 22 deg. below the
freezing point!) her last words went to my heart : " Ah 1
Sir, I wish to God we had never left home."' (p. 19d.)
" lu these elevated regions of the Allegbany chain, log
houses are the only habitations; and the character of the
ntountaineets, contrary to that of the same description and
condition in the countries of Europe, appears cold, friend-
less, unfeeling, callous, and selfish.' Mr. Rearm) says all the
emigrants complain of the enormous charges 'of the log-
taverns; from the following extract we should suppose they
have something more serious to complain of.
At five o'clock in the evening we reached the top of the
Atleganies. Our stage was far behind. This day I bad walk-
ed about sixteen miles; -and, as was the case the day before,
we were not allowed to stop for dinner, tbrie being no COleil
proprietor on the road. "I he Fountain Inn' issa miserable
log-house, or what you would call a dog-hole: it was Growl-
ed with emigrants. I asked fen something to eat, but Could
only obtain for answer, 1 guess whisky is all the feed we
have on sale.' I have met wi h several similar instances,
when. I hose asked, Have lot any meted.' 11,10.1.‘ Either;

" At the foot of Turtle-creek-hill %%litre our traveller
alighted from his waggon knee-deep in Mud, he came up with
a wonian and girl with two infants io their arms, who
came, to use their own lancuage, nom Z.i.herzet shire, in
flingland.' They spoke of their own country with heart-
felt attachment; were sorry they had ever been persuaded to
leave it; they had been told that America was the drsteouti-
try in the world, hut they had experienced nothiog brit dif-
ficulties since they had set their foot upon it. l';.. hoshand

" is such instances as the,e which afflict us. The
expatriation of a thonsand such essential admiters of
civil and religious liberty' as Mr. Fearon's consistent
and conscientio•As' employers, might be contemplated
with perfect composure; but the departure of one honest
and`creditlous family like this must excite pity and regret.
The former have many consolations to which the latter
,canuot look: these poor petitple bear no hatred t,) their
country, nor hope, by taking their little all abrciad, to inflict
a wound on her prosperity; they feel no instinctive Motor
at the name of a king, nor look for credit among stranger e
by traducing his, character, and reviling his servants. At
home, they are condemned to labour, it is true ;—they can-
not live without labour in America: but here they labour •
with the companions of their Youth, and grow old in'the
so-
ciety which ,saxes grey ativand them. It !hey are in absolute
want, they are relieved ; if they are sick and infirm, they find
medicine; in health they partake in the public worship of
the Creator; on the bed of death, they r:ijoy the' soothing
consolations of the religion which they love; and they repose
at last by the side of their forefathers, whose graves they dtrg
in the pious and cheering hope that they should one day
sleep with them, and awake together Withilicit: to a joyful

resurrection. What of all this can they hope to find in thu
land to which the artifices and persuasions of the Birkixck 5
anal the Pardus are eagerly propelling, them ?-4 An advance
in the scale of being,' (if they understand such jargon) and
food foe their labour,' amidst loneliness, dejection, Rod de-
,.
spair, with the certainty of receiving, at last, the burial of a
dog, and the memorial of a ditch or puddle !"
