For defence the noble steed,
She with Mnty hoofs adorns !
To secure the timid hare,
See her swiftest feet provide;
Feathered soogstera own her care,
As through ambient air they glide!
Fish she bids their scales display,

And their sportive gambols play,
Vast Leviathan around!

Travels through part of the United bates and Canada
in 1818 and 1818. By JOHN DUNCAN, A.B. In-
tended' chipjly to illustrate stayed: connected with the'
Moral, Literary, axd Religious Condition of thy
Country. Two Volumes, post 8 vo.
These volumes afford much information on the sub-
jects to which they are professedly devoted; nor will
such readers as look into books of travels chiefly for
amusement be disappointed in perusing Mr. Duncan's
pages. The following are extracts:
....iv A great many of the American tiewsapers are
eilned by men of very inferior talents and accmirements,
in*are by no means a correct index either to the sen-4
timents or to the abilities of society at large. Perhaps
this has in a great degree arisen from the difference be-'
tween an A merican•Paper and a British one. With us',
they ate principally
.the vehicles of political news, dis-
quisition, and debate ; and the success of the Paper de-'
+ends partly on the editor's political sentiments, bUt
chiefly upon his literary talent and general information.,
In America:the Newspapers arc frequently mere lists of."
commercial advertisement:, which usually occupy from
three-fourths to four-fpfths of the sheet. There is no tax
either upon adver k ' meats or papers, and the number
ii.
of adaettisers is t erefore enormous. With us the editor
depends for the principal power of attraction on his
own h;ad : and gives us in his leading article a corn-
prel3entive abstract of the news of the day, with some
criticisms on cau'es, and anticipation of consequences.
In Arnifica the most attractive of the literary depart-
ment; even to satires, consist of extracts from the Lon.
don and Liverpool Papers, headed in lalge capitals, Latest
front England; the eaitor's own article is frequently a
hifierogenenui mass, without beginning, middle, or end,
and often without reference to news of any kind : the,
debates in Congress art given merely in detached and
81-a%soited scraps, and the remainder of the Paper is
Oiled with squabbles about local politics, and city grim.
hum. It is oovious therefore that to conduct a paper here
is ar uch less arduous task than at home; and as there
at' ,erally ten times as many in a given space, it is to
15 . pected that the greater number will be in a Ike-
ji y point of view quite beneath criticism. The per-
k,.?- .soualities, which too frequently abound in the American
Papers, form another distinguishing feature. • The edi-
ton write in the singular number, and abuse each other
by name, while opponents in state or city politics, throw
mud at all aro6nd them without Measure or ittnOrse.”
" It was a joyful evening when the tidings of peace
ruched New Yolk I I have heard it spoken of oftener
than once, and each narrator seemed to paint in more.
glowilg colours than another, the effect which the un-
expected iriterigence prodticed throughout.the city. A
clergyman told me that he was sitting in his study after
dinner, ruminating with gloomy despondency on the
prospect which seemeclhefisre them. The country was
in the utmost distresi; the intercourse hetaveen one dis-
trict of it and another almost broken up, the merchant
eels totting in the harbour, and 'business of every
kind a; a stand. Government was scarcely able, with all
its exertions, to raise tile necessary supplies.; the Secre-
tary of the Navy had talked of having recourse to im-
pressment to man the ships of war; in some of the
Eastern. States a dissolution of- the Federal Compact
was openly and everywhere talked pf; and, what to the
individual alluded to was more innyediately distressing,
many of the members of his congregation, and thou-
sands of his fellow-citizens, were reduced to poverty
and Want ; while the latest dispatches from Ghent gave
ant the slightest hope of *cessation of hostilities. While
in the very act of contemplating these miseries of war,
and anticipating the approach of yet greater distress, he
heard an unusual bustle in the street; and going to the
window he threw it up and looked over. People wets
running backwards and forwards,. gathering into knots
and talking with the utmost earnestness, then separating
andigoing away. He thought that it• might be fire,
although he could not account for the silenCe of the
church bells; watching the first person that approached,
lie 'Called out to him, w What is the matter?' a Peace,

Ric nod the Minister in astonishment, 7is it.poisibler
Pei yin he huiried to the coffee-room to learn how the
news bad 'come, and what reliance was placed •on
them. 'The cofee-rodm was in the utmost commotion,
every one congratulating another, and asking questions
icout waiting for a reply. A- British sloop of 'war,

of peace were signed, and that nncloubt was entertained,
as to their speedy ratification. It was enough ;—de.
spondency gave place to joy and gratitude, and- he
welcome sound spreading like wildfire througfrthe city,
old and young re-echoed the announcement. Troops of
boys paraded the streets shouting ' Peace! Peace !
Peace!' and on the approach of the evening, the citizens
with one consent lighted up their windows, and a spon-
taneous and universal illumination blazed along the
streets,. from the Battery to Greenwich.

any one had ventured in New York to propose h"
at a candidate by public advertisement; hitherto it isns,
been customary to be put in nomination through' the
agency of political friends. .The experiment, however,l
(ivied. In Britain we enjoy toleration, but here they en-
joy liberty. If Government has a right to grant tole-
ration to any particular set of religious opinions, it has
also a right to take it away ; and such a right wish re►
Bard to opinions exclusively religious I would deny in
Ail cases, because totally inconsistent with the nature
religion, in the proper meaning of the word, and equally
irreconcileable with civil liberty, rightly so called. The
Inquisition under took to regulate astronomical science,
and Kings and Parliaments have with equal propriety
presumed to legislate upon questions of theology. The
world has outgrown the former, and it will one day be
ashamed that it has been so long of outgrowing the lat-
ter. It has been often said that the disinclination of the
heart to religious truth, renders a State.establisliment
absolutely necessary, for the purpose of christianising
the country. Ireland and America can furnish abundant
evidence of the fallacy of such an hypothesis. In the
one country we see an eccelesiastical establishment of
the most costly description, utterly inoperative in dis-
pelling ignorance or refuting 'error ; in the other, no
eAablishinent of any kind, and yet religion making
daily and Hourly progress, promoting inquiry, diffusing
knowledge, strengthening the weak, and mollifying
the hardened.

" If any should imagine that an establishment would
have improved matters, let him look to Canada; and
even setting aside all reference to the Frehch popula-
tion, let him tell us what has been effected, among
those of British descent, by a lordly episcepacy,'snp.
ported by annual stipends from Government, and a
'seventh part of all granted lands. I refer, of course, in
these remarks, to evangelical religion, properly so called.
" In the family with whom I am at present a guest,
the Sabbath exercises were concluded immediately after
tea, by my host's reading a chapter and engaging in
prayer. He theri invited me to accompany him to 4-isit
a worthy' Deacon's family in We neighbourhood; to
which I without hesitation agreed, willing to see and
know all that I could of their Sabbath occupations.
There we found a 'merry groupevf yoting people, and
it was not without considerable surprise that I heard
the proposal made soon after we entered that one of-the
young Ladies should sing 4 Doun the .burn Davie. In.
reply to this suggestion, I told them that, though I did
not wish to prescribe to them the manner in which they
should spend the Sabbath evening, yet I could not sc:t
suddenly become a convert to their system, and thatl
therefore, if they intended to sing songs, I should take
the liberty of withdrawing. They argued against what
were considered my educational prejudices, but agreed
to sings hymn in place of a song, and spend the rest of,
the evening in conversation.
44 In the Fatent-office at Washington there is a machine
for cutting iron nails; the introduction of which has
completely superseded, throughout the United States,
the use of hammered ones.

" The New York markets are large, and amply fur-
nished with everything that is good. It is common, as
u ith us, for Gentlemen to make purchases for the family
table, but they carry their complaisance a step farther
than we do, for' they frequently also carry home what
they provide. I have seen a merchant, worth, accord-
ing to report, ten to twenty thousand pounds sterling,'
dangling a raw steak through the streets, between his
finger and thumb ; and the other morning I met a %vol.-,

carcase of an immense turkey in his hand.
"The most useful of American inventions is probably
the saw-gin, by a Mr. Whitney, of Massachusetts, a ma-
chine for clearing the fibres of cotton wool from the
seeds. It is said, that every person employed at this
machine produces as much as a thousand persons pick-
ing with the bands. The saw-gin is used in clearing
the green seed, the most hardy and productive species,,
but which in consequence of the stronger adherence of
the fibre, was for a long period much less cultivated
than the black. One of the Judges in the State of
Georgia, in charging a 'Jury, thus dilates upon its
amazing utility. The whole interior of the southern
States was languishing, and its inhabitants emigrating
for want of some object to engage their attention, and
employ their industry; when the invention of this ma..
chine at once opened views to them which set the whole
country in active motion. Prom childhood to age it has
presented us a lucrative employment. Individuals who
were depressed in poverty, and sunk in idleness, have
suddenly risen to wealth and respectability. Our debts
bare been paid off; our capitals increased, and our lands
are trebled in value. We cannot express the weight of
'obligation which the country awes to this invention."

When Lieutenant Nttgent commanded the Greyhound
revenue Cutter, at the port of Weymouth, one Thomas
Russel, of Portland, tland, was prosecuted by him on account
of some smuggling transaction, and sentenced to twenty
months im pri San nient, but was shortly after set at liberty.
A small vessel was afterwards driven on shore in the
night on Portland Beach, when all the crew were
drowned except a boy, who found 'his way into Port-
land, and alarmed the inhabitants, several-of whom im-
mediately went to the spot, and among them Lieut-Nu-
tent and Russel, who with difficulty got on board her,
to see if any persog was still alive. AXter being there a
few minutes, the people on shore called to them tbiump,
as,there was a sea corning wbich would dash the vessel
to pieces. Before they had time to do so the sea,broke
half the matt up, and swept:them all on slioxe ezces

Ilt is iieedlesa, tierefore, for us to attempt a detail ;04
pecially as the Court was dissolied before the trial wall
finished. After witnesses had been examined for the pro.!
secution, and in support of;the defence, on the third day
captain M,lCsurts, the President, was taken suddenly
ill, and the Court in consequence adjourned from.day to
day, waiting for his recovery, till the -seventh day, when
a letter was received from the Aclmiraltyyrecommend-j
ing that the Court should be dissolved.
.Captain 111•KENzis died on Thursday.
Captain Hamm, on the Court being cleared to deli-
berate, addressed them as follows :
" If I understand the Court aright, they are about to clear the
Court, to consider of their Lordships letter of the 10th November,
on the expediency of dissolving this Court, under the distressing
circumstances of the President's ill-health. With submission I beg
to poixt out that I alb here in custody of their Provost Marshal,,
deprived of My sword, upon heavy and criminal charges, tending to
destroy my character, both as an officer and a man of honour. The
laws of the land, I should presume, having been publicly arraigned
upon the charges which their Lordshipalave been pleased to tont..
tute against mel will give me as public an opportunity of exculpat-
ing my charactet ; and I entreat of the Court, ere they come to a
final determination to abide by the recommendation of their Lord-
ships, to consider the truly embarrasting and distressing situation
it, which they have placed nee. I must with every submission beg
to inform the Court, that it they should come to the determination
recommended by their Lordships, thereby depriving me‘ of pub-
licly justifying my conduct, I cannot with any honour or justice to
myself, or to the hodourable profession of which I ant an humble
member, consider myself out of the custody of the Provost Marshal,
until further instructions be received from their Lordships ; and,
in the meantime, with all due respect to their Lordships, I must
beg to protest against the Minutes. of. the Court Martial bAng sent
for the inspection of their Lordships; and my reason for entering
this protest is, beCause their LOedships still have before them ex-
paste statements."
The Court was then cleared, and on being re-opened,
the officiating Judge Advocate declared the said Court
Court Martial, for wstut Isl a sufficient legal number of
meets, was dissolved.
