The privateiring systemtarried on by the South

Every new account of these piracies which we

The Bahl Reformers were, we are told, thrown
into' grand tribulation by an unlucky event—ouc
of the most distinguished of the Oratore,'On pre-
senting himself to the Mayor,, with sinneresotii-
lions well as Resulutions, vas politely dtritn4B
answer fur a natural child, which, in F love
fur liberty, he had abandoned to the fUster-
ing care of the coinmunity at large. The
Parish, however On anti-Reforming one it ap-
pears), bad him some time on the look out
fur the liberal Father, and took ibis oppor-
tunity to return him the favour he bad done
it, thinking perhaps that the additional interest
of his posterity might add a spur to his patriotism.
The, friend to freedom gave securities for the
maintenance of his llsrling ; but we have not heard
whether a Parson with a double family of hi, own
