The whole paired onward through the North gate
down the Reps, to the River fide, along the caufe-
way, and to the barges, the drums and trumpets
halting, and continuing to play.
The body being placed on board the State Barge,
the fevers' Members of the Proceffion took their
Places on board their appointed barges, when the
Lord Mayor of London, Corporation, &c. proceed-
ed from the Painted Chamber, uncovered, to the Ri-
ver fide, and went on board their relpe&ive barges,
appropriately decorated for this folemn occalion, the
great bell over the fouth call colonade chiming a its.
neral peal the whole time.
The whole then, in order, rowed round the (tern
of Sir Sidney Smith's little !loop, moored off the
Hofpital ; and, with the flood tide in their favour,
though the wind againft them, proceeded up the
River for London, in the order Rated in our paper
of yellerday ; the boats of the River Fencibles firing
minute guns the whole way to Whitehall (lairs,
where the procellion arrived preeifely at half part
three. The whole of the boats then drew up, and
formed columns, the order of a crefcent, coffer-
ing the barge with the body to fhoot ahead, and
pals the (lairs tome Mort diftance ; it then tacked,
and brought to at the landing place, when the cof-
fin was landed, and received with military honours,
under a fable canopy, decorated with the Armorial
Infignia of the deceared, &c. fent from the Admi-
ralty for its reception.
The di*rent Members of the Procefflon then land•
ed in thew order, formed in Whitehall-yard, in the
fame arrangement in which they proceeded from
Greenwich Hofpital to the embarking plAce, and
then moved forward towards the Admiralty, where
a clear and estenfive are' was kept, by parties of the
military, half( and font ; and the whole entered, in
a fokmn pace, the Admiralty gates, when the body I

was conveyed into the apartment inn the I eft of ti
Great Hall, called the Captain's- Room, whr re the
body was placed, and which was lighted with forty-
fix wax lights fitted in (comes ; and, on either fide
the coffin, were placed fix Loge wax candles. On
the trip of the coffin was placed the Gannet and
Cufhiun. The Rev. Mr. 5c..11, of the %/Only, tali r
has fat up every night with the Corpfe, (ince it h.ts
lain in Rate, remained with it the whole of lali . ig .t
at the Admiralty.
Although it was underßood that no perfon was
to view the body lying in Rate, yet the public c.rri•
ofity WAS fo great, that cony door leading 0 the
Admiralty was befieged at an early hoot. hircy
perfons Raid till a late hour lag night, without Inc-
ceeding in their °Neel
A Captain's Guard of the Invalids frvm the
Tower was flationed laa night in the AJmiralty
Office.

The Loan Marna, Corporation, etc. did not land
at Whitehall•flairs, but proceeded in their barges to
Palace-yard (lairs, where they landed, and rtturned
in their carriages to the 'City. The brats of the
River Fencibles, and others of the Proceftion, except
the City barges, returned in order with the tide down
flream, firing minute guns the whole way; and, by
6 o'clock, the ftreets were quite cleat of the populace.
THE SPECTATORS.
The concourfe yeflerday, on both fides of the
ver, and in every avenue to it, from Greenwich to
Wellminfter Bridge, was immenfe; and their con•
dud every where marked their affetlion for the de- f 1
parted Hero. The windows, as well as the flreets,
round Whitehall, were crowded, and even the front
wall of the Admiralty, and the roofs of the houfes
were crowded with fpeetators. Diet y fhip and boat
on the River, even to the fmallea craft that could
thew a flag, &earner, or other naval emblem, dif..
played it no the occafion. The COSIt d'eril of the Aqua.
lit Proceflion bad a grand effell.
As the Proceffion came abreall of the Tower, the
Tower guns fired. It advanced mnre rapidly than
was expelled. At three o'clock it arrived at Black-
friar's Bridge, and as it came alongfide the Temple
Gardens, the Temple Volunteers, who were drawn
up in the Garden‘, fainted it as it paged. Abnut a
quarter pet three the proceMon reached Whitehall,
and that became the centre of atiraeli..n. The
greater part of the crowd, however, upon their arri-
val there, was much difappointed. They found the
gates ffint, and military tlatinned at diem to prevent
intrufion—the Court yard having been previoufly
filled with company. The fpedaors here confilled
chiefly of Nobility and Gentry in their carriage,—
None were admitted without tickets. At thirty five
minutes pall three, the body was landed, and car.
tied on a bier to the Admitalty. During this opts
s.atinn, the King's‘Admiralty's, Lord Mayor'r, and
City's barges, lay upon their oars. A party of the
Horfe Gourds were on duty to clear the way, and a
double line of foot drawn frnm Whitehall to the
Admirahy, forming a lane for the body to pars
through. When the Proeeffion came oppnfite the
Horfe Guardr, the multitude appeared deeply ace-
ted by the folernnity of the fcene, the mournful found
of the mufic, and the awful report of the minute
guns, which continued to fire until four o'clock.—
The number of I-pc/taws of this part of the Procef-
fion was insmenfe. The tops of all the buildings
from Charing Crofs to the Treafury, including the
Horfe Guards and the Admiralty, were covered
with men and womenonany of them elegantly dreffed.
The crowd and number of carriages was fo great
in this quarter, the areet remained blocked up nearly
an hour after the body was depofited in the Admi-
ralty, and the proceffinn had clofed. The carriages
were locked in each other, and many of them re- .
eeived much injury in their wheels and pannels.lt
The weather was unpromifinn in the morning,
dull, heavy, and wet ;it cleared, however' at eleven, ..
and gave the full difplay of the majeftie Proceffinn
upon the water ; but at the tinge of the landing of the
body, and the Proctffion frum Whitehall, the thy
was fuddenly overeat/, and a dreadful ftorm of hail p
and rain came on, which hired fractal minutes.— ),
During the Ileum, the people on the tops ref the
houfes were in great danger. It was with great &fa. A
culty many of them effected their efeape. A lady,
who was on the top of the Horfe Guards, was in the
moft imminent peril, and mutt have been blown s\
down, had not a gentleman, at the rifle of his life, run
to her Affiliance. Many accidents took place upon
the water, and in the flews, during the proo•

ed ; as was alfo a child in her arms. She was walk-
ing acrofs a plank between two lighters, which gave •
way at one end, and precipitated her into the water.

THE EDITOR.

TI.AVELS IN SCOTLAND.

Sir—The following account may not he uninter-
fling to your Readers :—Not rnany months pall, I
chanced to he travtlling through Scotland, literally
travelling, as I wifited moll parts of the Highlands on
foot. The more humble I appeared, the more infor-
mation I ezpeaed to gain : I was tint difappointed.
Patting near the town of Kilfythe, I was tempted to
sok the pariffi church, in which are depofited the els-
balmed remains of the once celebrated Lady Living-
flone. Her maiden name was Jean Cochrane (whicis
every one acquainted with &math Hiftory mutt
know) ate was &It married to Claverhoufe, the no-
torious perfecutor, and on his death to Livingtione,
Lord of Kilfythe, by whom the had one child.
Lord Livingfione bring obliged to fly his coon-
try, fhe accompanied him to Holland. The barbar-
ous government of thole days, offered a high re-
ward for him or her—dead or alive. The confe-
q once WAS, that the joitls of the rod of the room in
which the was fitting with her chili on her knee,
were fuddenly cut; Lord LivingtOne, who wat read-
ing a letter at the window. Iptang nut of it. He was
lived ; but his wife and avid perithed. With muck
difficulty he recovered the bodies which, 4 :,:ng vtn-
&timed, he fent and had privately inter -d ii the
family vault at Kilfythe, in Scotland. Atter 'Tiling
there for upwards of rao year., a audent at Kilfythe
prevailed upon the (mon to open the vault :—the
leaden" coffin was explored. and the bodies of her
and the child found in fn perfea a Rate of preferva-
tion, that they appeared rather fleeping than dead.—
Lady Livingllone was full &aid ; the ribbons
about her had not loft their glots or ftiffnefs—the co-
l• or was in her cheeks that were pitted by the !mall
pox, and the mark of the needle with which fhe had
fewed was perceptible on the end of her finger. The
Child was to beautifift, that the prefent Lord Elphin-
lion, who vifited the vault, took it up in his arms
and killed it. Theft particulars I have from a gen-
tleman refident on the fpot, and who was prefent at
,the time. .
About twelve at night, nn the 17th of Odober
la. I repaired to this vault ; a ftone was iemoved
and the fezton went down, with a torch. lam not
fuperflitioria, but I hefitated before I plunged myfelf
into the" narrow bode," of the departed. Mr. Fitz.
Canino:ls, a friend who accompanied me, tieing this,
fet the example, and defeended. I then, with force
difficulty, prsffed myfelf down, as the pal:rage will
fcarcely admit a tolerable fixed man (which, Mr. Edi-
tor, I reckon myfelf). The defcent was about so
fieps, and the roof of the paffage had flsrunk fo much
that it appeared in the all of falling upon di. At the
jend of the peps we entered an apartment which per-
tained its to nand upright ; the place was covered
pith bones, crumbling into the dull, which role up to
par mid leg at every dep. The roof of the vault
was quite damp, and from which water was cond.
,nually dropping. In a.corner of this horror-breath-
ing place, expofed, to the vie* of.rivary clown who
_could bribe the ftzton with twopence, lay the re-
mains of Jean Cochrane, once the highett in rank,
and the molt celebrated beauty in Scotland. 1 ap•
. .proached with awe ; I felt that I war violating the
:.. }place of the grave, hallowed by the death of my SA.
„Inoue, yet curiolity impelled me forward, and I ap-
;plied to myfelf the excufe of the finner, " Many
:Isaac done fo before me : why fhould not 1 ?"
• She appeared to have been of the middle fize,
•ewidt a flat countenance; her colour at prefent is a
.. visa brown, from the admiflion of air, I apprehend.
The right eye, and part of. the cheek and forehead,
Awe bruifed, from the effeds of the blow which killed
- . her. The hair of the head is a light brown, and
; firmly attached to the fkull ; it was cut fhort. The
aineth Da the lower jaw were complete, and perhaps
-film wantin in the tipper, which I underftand were
I fill to NM err who had polluted the tomb. From
i
--mint I ob erved, even in her prefent date, fhe muff
-love had a molt beautiful countenance. The mark

!1

of the mafion knife, and the thread that fewed up
the cut, were both difcernible. The finger and toe-
nails had a livid appearance, quite natural: and to
me fbe appeared, notwithflanding her dark colour,
to be enjoying a calm repofe, rather than the " fleep
of the grave."
The child was laid in the fame coffin, and had
much the fame appearance as the mother. I preffed
my finger on the bodies of each, the flefh yielded to
nIY Faure, and returned to its termer fituation
when I raifed my hand. in the fame manner as that
of a living perfon. When firli opened, the coffin
was half filled with a liquid, in colony like brandy,
that flied a fw•eet perfume. Dr. Jeffrey, of Glaf-
gow, took part of it away, in order to afcertain what
it confined of. I inquiied, but could not learn the
refult of his endeavours.

Pieces of He& were cut off from.this cnrpfe and
carried away by many. I was told, " that for a
ttifle I might cut a piece off the body likewife."—l
flared at the king who propnfed it; with agony of
allonament ; a dead coldnefs affefted my whole
body, and, with tottering Reps, I halened to quit
the manfion of death, polluted by the footfleps of the
damned—fn I conceive thole who made loch a pus-
volition to me. I felt myfill relieved when I breath-
ed the pure air; but my (brain was a whirlpoul of
ideas, turning incelfantly round, and yet no one de•
parting front its vortex. A gentleman, high in dal:
fical dignity, I was told, firft exhibited Lady Li-
vingdone as 2 public thew, for a (laced duce; how
far this may be true I will not poritively alien ; but
whether he ever did is of frnall matter, he permits
Iris underlings to do it, and he is anfwerable for the
fin. He ought to remember, " The eye of him that
bath Peen me :hall fee me no more ; thine eyes are upon
me, and I am not."—Joa.
Although many defcendants of this celebrated wo•
man are now in Scotland, none have acknowledged
themfelves deicended from her, and cauted her lag
abode to be shut up—they may be human creatures,
I deny that they are Chr titian*: I know them, and I
well let the world know them. 'flirty ever tee thefe
lines I hope they may " do as they would be done
L ' by." Were the form that contained the foul of the
wife of my bolom expofccl Co after death—it was an
involuntary exprelliou. but I could carry it no farther
—my heart was too full—e^cry• rifieeting mind can
complete the fentenee. Mr. I:ditto—adieu. m. a.

CHARLESTON, NOV. 6.

In yellerclay's paper we mentioned the capture of
the Briiilh lhip Either— the arrival, yelterday morn-
ning, of the pilot boat Delight, with the mangled re-
mains of that gallant but unfortunate (hip's crew, has
furnillsed Clls with the particulars of the :talon, and
of the bafe awl brutal maffacre which followed it.—
The leading fads already truly Rated, are detailed in
the following

PROTIST.
" James Spinks and John Smith, two of the fea-
men, late of the !MIA fhip Either, Gentile Irving
maffer, make oath—That on Monday the affth of
Otlober laR, they failed in and with faid (hip from
this port, bound to London, in company with the
flip Ariel, Captain Payne ; Minorca tranfport, Cap
Lain Wood ; and a fchooner, under convoy of hh
Britannic Majetty's floop of war Peterel, being right,
&c. manned with 35 men, two of whom (hipped on
board the Peterel. That they continued jn the proz
fecution of their voyage withoot meeting with any
material occurrence, until Thurfday fnllowing at two
o'clock A. M. when the fhip was taken aback and
(truck by a very heavy fea under the counter, which
they foon after di.covered caufed her to make eigh-
teen inches of water per hour. That they immedi-
ately got the powder not of the magazine on deck,
and durcovered the leak near the Vern poll. That
Captain Irving afked the carpenter whether he could
flop the leak ? and being anfwered no, that it was
imponible to flop it at lea, the crew was called aft,
and they unaniznofly agreed to Reer up and (peak the
Commodore. That at meridian they got within hail
of the Commodore, and informed him of their leaky
condition ; and, taking into confideration the feafon
of the year and the bad weather,-he recommended
that they fhould return to port.. That they accor-
dingly bore away for this port, and joined the Mi•
norca, which had bore away force time before, alfo
in a very leaky fituation. That on Saturday
morning about eight o'clock they arrived off the
Bar, and a pilot was pui on board of each (hip; who
informed that there was a French privateer in force;
they immediately cleared the decks for affirm. At
about nine o'clock they faw the privateer bearing
'down upon then). At ten Ilse came within gun Riot.
The fhip Either immediately after gave her a broad•
fide, and the hauled her wind and Rood off, until be-
tween four and five o'clock in the afternoon ; when
fhe again ran down upon the (hip and received ano-
ther broadfide, fired one gun in return, veered round,
and again Rretched off. That on Sunday morning,
at about eight o'clock, fhe again returned, and fired
one gun at the Either, which was returned by. •
broadfide, tied the privateer theered off a third
time. That-they did not come to aftion after that
till Monday morning, at feven o'clock, when the pri-
vateer run down upon them with an intention to
board, and received the Ellher's broadfides. That
after that a revere xonflia was kept up by both par•
ties for about three quarters of an hour ; when the
privateer boarded with nearly the whole of her crew.
That they continued the fight about twenty minutes
after being boarded ; when having two mcn killed
and feveral wounded, and of confequence being much
reduced in numbers, Mr. Lowdon, the third mate,
by order of Captain Irving, flruck the colours, and
returning. was killed on the quarter. That after the
colours were (buck, the Captain was cut down in the
cabin, and mangled in the mot( inhuman manner :
and the fecund mate was run through the body with
a (mall fword. The prifoners being below were or-
dered up by Rocs, the leader of the privateerfmen,
that they might be put to death ; bin on fome re-
monfirance, he ordered thit his men fhould fire down
the hatchway upon them, which they accordingly
did, killing the carpenter, and wounding twn men
fo feverely that they died of their wounds immediate•
ly on being put into the pilot boat. That the faid
privateer proved to be the Creole, Captain Pierre
Bergman, from Barracoa, manned with tti men,
and mounting (even guns of different calibres, upon
fwivels. They Rate their lofs to be fix killed, feven
feverely wounded—and a number mining, fuppofed
to have been knocked overboard and drowned."

.4 It will naturally be imagined by any being, not
bereft of intelleet and feeling, that upon the above
renfaition there would be but one opinion—one fen-
ttment—and that exclamations of unmixed abhor-
rence and execration world interrupt the hideous
recital. May we believe, or is it only a loofe report,
that even this atrocity has not wanted its extenuators
and its vindicators in this city ? That there are fome,
whofe invention, prompt and pregnant in the dietates
of evil, could find out caufes, excufes, and pretexts
for filch villanies ? Villanies, the perpetrators, of
which mull, before they committed 'hens, have had
every thing human can out of their compofition. It
is faid by the Poet of Nature (Shakefpeare) that the
devil himfelf can quote Scripture for his own pur•
pores. The eighteenth century has added a new and
Miraculous proof of the power of his cloven footed
Majeffy. The devil himfelf never will want im•
pudem advocates among men.' We fwear he never
will, wherever his ftgned•and•fealed with-blood
agents, the Jacobins, prowl about upon his miffions.
We know, and have now for about ts years been
laying it, that there is no ordinary wickednefs which
thofe who admire the revolutionary French, and,
admiring, of courfe referable them, will not with
alacrity perform, provided it anfwers a purpofe ;
and that there is nothing which fuch perfons can do
that will not have its advocates. But to advocate
and extenuate gratuitoufly, ureters, unprofitable vil-
lainy, is a Itretch even beyond the long measure of
depravity, which we always allow to their hearts,,
when attempting to give to Jacobins their date. The
murderer himfelf, is not always fit bad as the advo-
cate for murder. When w•eleve told that there were
Tome who exprvired a favage exultation at this bufi-
nefs, we direaly recoiled from the crime of believ-
ing that there was, iat the form of man, any wretch
to damned.

a It is a fhame for ille Biitifk Commanders on the
Rations near this coati to leave the Britilh commerce
unproteited. It is uncharitablelin them not to afferd
to American commerce—with which, by the bye,
the intereft of their cnuntry is fo intimately comsat•
ed—that protetlion which the quifdom, the integrity,
the jj)irit, and the dilirtereled purity of their prefent
prudent, parfimonious adminifiration withholds
from it.

While we have a hand to write, we than conti-
nue to wore the t.uttntude of that whole fyltena ut

iracy called privateering—while we have breath to
utter a vow we (hall execrate it : No matter whe•
Cher it be perpetrated by French, Spaniards, Englifh
or Americans. The evil is great enough of itfelf—it I
always was fn, when confined to battle and robbery:
But, when vengeance goes hand in hand with plun-
der—when the trader is not only robbed of his
means, but deprived of his life—and when fair de-
fence leads to cold, cowardly, deliberate, vindiftive
murder, the hands and hearts of all mankind ought
to be at once raifed againft all concerned in it.
The above Rofs ought to be fo defignated and
marked out to the eye of juftice, that he fhould not
efcape. Frenchmen and Engliflunen may plead the
antiquated abufe of ptivateering, bccaufe they are at
war with each other. But the American citizen, hav-
ing no fuch plea, has no mule. He is a pirate, and
ought to be executed, it taken.—The perfon here
alluded to, is well known in this city and in Bahl-
more."

NEW YORK, DECEMBER 3
ITALIAN SLAVS! IN .

A letter of Jerome Bonapatte having been puhlifh- I
ed, with great pomp and parade, ton the lubjeCt of I
his expedition to Algiers ; and fume uncandid inlet- '
ences having been drawn from it, and applied to the
Government of the United State., we publifh, with
great pleafure, the 111ft:wing Ilatement of rafts, de-
t ived from a fource that leaves no doubt, with us, of
its accuracy :
The negotiations for the Italian (laves, throughout
Barbary, had been carried on under the aufpices of
France, for fome time previous to the coronation of
Napoleon ; and it has only terminated at Algiers ;
fur which a ranfom of eighty thoufand dollars is to
be paid. When Jerome arrived at Algiers, he had
on board the fquadron no fpecie, and the lley re•
fufed Bonaparte's notes, unlefs their payment was
guaranteed by tome Conful. The Ssvedifh was aiked,
but be declined; alliQning, as a reafon, the political
tituation of his country. The Batavian offered him-
kW, but was rejedled by the Dry. Finally, the Da.
nifh agreed, and has accordingly given bis obliga,
Lion, conjointly with the French, for the payment of
80,000 dollars, in four months. All the captives
that were taken after the coronation of Bonaparte,
have been releafed. A fimilar negotiation is going
on at Tunis, but not yet concluded.
Thus much for the glory and prowefs of Admiral
Jerome.
