Letters and Papers to the 10th ult. from Havanaah,
have been received, by which we learn that the fleet
of Spanish ships which sailed from that port on the
20th February, under convoy of a frigate and sloop
of war, for Cadiz, had a few days after their depar-
ture experienced severe weather, and were compelled
to return to the island. Several of them narrowly
escaped being captured by the Insurgent privateers,
and had the vessels continued on their voyage, no
doubt several of them would have fallen into the
hands of the Corsairs, if separated from the ships of
war accompanying them.

The slave trade with the coast of Africa in January
and February last had been less active than usual.
The.Hatiemnah Diary contains only a small list of
ships which had arrived within that period, but a
number of vessels were preparing to leave Cuba, and
would return after having obtained fresh supplies of
negroes.

Friday, the old ASIA, of 74 guns, was re-christened
by the name of The ALFRED, and she now lays in a
state of ordinary, at Chatham ; it is expected a ship
of the former name will be built in that quarter of the
Globe (Asia).

Extract of a letter, dated Jamaica, February 19,

Lieutenant CHARLES JAMES GRIFFIN, aged thirty-
five, Commander of his Majesty's cutter SWAN, was
drowned on the 7th inst. off Bridlington, Yorkshire.
This melancholy accident occurred by his too great
anxiety to get on board his cutter in a heavy gale,
when the boat was dashed against the Pier, which
caused the untimely end of the clerk and two seamen,
with their Commander ; four other seamen happily
escaped by clinging t 6 the piles of the Pier until
boats from the shore came to their assistance : thus
perished, in the prime of life, on his native shore,
from an anxious and zealous performance of his duty,
a gallant and enterprising Officer, who during 22
years had been in continual active service, and had
escaped all the dangers of protracted war, and of
every variety of climate. By his strict attention to
his duty, and rigid, yet mild performance of it, he
had secured the high approbation of his superior, and
warm esteem of his brother Officers, who will unite
with a large circle of private friends in deploring his
premature and melancholy' fate.
Sunday se'nnight, two brothers, George Irving,l
aged 19, and William Irving, aged SZ both of An-
nan, were unfortunately drowned in the Inversion
Canal. They had left the Canal Tavern' with the
intention of going on board the Newland, of which
George was Master, and which was lying in the Ca-
nal, not many yards from the inn ; but the night being
very dark, they walked into the water by mistake.
Monday sennight, a young woman, in the service
of Mr. Gaasr, of Glenmoriston, intending to take a
dose of salts, swallowed some deleterious stuff resem-
bling them, which she found in the house, and died
in great agony, in less than an hOur.

A daring robbery was committed on Monday se'n-
night, on the person of an old man of the name of
Marsh, employed as Warder in Sheerness Dock-yard.
He was going to his duty, about five o'clock in the'
morning, and was stopped by two men, between
Mile-town and Blue-town. They tied a handkerchief
over his eyes, and one of them put his hand before
his mouth, while the other rifledliis pockets of £6 in
money. He had a watch, but it being in his waist-
coat pocket, escaped notice. They then put him into
a piece of ground, formerly used as a military bury-
ing-ground, which being surrounded by a pointed
fence, and the man being old and infirm, afforded
them time to escape. Some time since, this same
person was robbed of about N, which he used to
keep at home, since which time he has always carried

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a darirz
robbery was committed at the Green Man Tavern,
in the Kent-road. The house was crowded in every
part with people from the Fair, who were dancieLr.
singing, &c. and in the course of the confusion a titi.Ei
forced open the landlord's bed-room with a str•'
chisel or crow-bar ; he then broke the locks of r::e
chest of drawers, from which he took £7O in Bank-
notes, twelve table, and 24 tea-spoons ; also a goid
watch, some portable articles of wearing apparel, Sec
amounting in the whole to the value of £l5O, with
which he escaped.
Saturday last, at twelve o'clock, James Bc1c1:13
was brought out for execution on the Castle-hill, at
Norwich, and after praying a short time with the
Chaplain, was turned off amidst an immense num-
ber of spectators. He appeared perfectly resigned,
but struggled repeatedly after the platform fell. The
sufferer was convicted of stealing 500 yards of
hempen cloth, the property of Thomas Smith, from
the Ostrich public-house, Castle-acre, of which plate
he was himself a native, and where his parent; Lear
a reputable character. From being at the head e: a
gang of lighters, he had obtained the appellation of
Captain, which is supposed to have raised an unfa-
vourable impression that he commanded a gang of
depredators an the neighbourhood. He arcs 40 Tears
of age, has left a wife near her confinement, :x4
two young children. Win. Thurrold, his accomplice
in this robbery, and Wm. Cock, were both reprieved.
Thursday last, William Burton was executed at
Gloucester, for the murder of William Syms,
late
of Wollaston, in Gloucestershire, by beating him
with a large stick, upon the head and face, on Ole
7th of November last, in a boat upon the river Se-
vern, between Pyle and Wollaston, and afarwardc
throwing the body into the said river. From the p'-
r'od of sentence being passed, the short span of lire
which was allotted to him was spent in vain lamen-
tations for his untimely end, rather than in preparn.;
his mind for the reception of those consolations wh'e't
it was in the power of religion, even in this measured
interval, to bestow. No confession that he was the
murderer of Syms escaped his lips ! The morning
of his execution he was called to go to Chapel to re-
ceive the Sacrament, but he refused to leave his cell,

Ahls truCr., 11,) ~ev" • .r, is not thus declared to inflict
'4l3zy pa4a on a single lowl1owl being. On the

contrary, it is hold Op to theligtit of the world Weill
to shew mankind the first step of knowledge whicli
can lead them to rationality, and out of the iino-
ranee and misery in which they have hitherto existed.
The pain which the developement of this all impor-
tant truth must create will be transient, and pass
away without real injury to any one ; while the sub-
stantial benefits which it will produce will be perpe-
tually experienced by the whole of human nature
through all succeeding generations.
It is from a thorough knowledge of this truth and
of the infinite beneficial consequences which will re-
sult to mankind from its being universally known,
that I now bring k for your minds, not as an ab-
stract theory to amuse speculative men, but to shew
you the source of all the errors which afflict society,
and which must be removed before your condi-
tion can be ameliorated. There is no knowledge
except this, which can make human nature truly be-
nevolent and kind to the whole of the species, and,
with the certainty of a mathematical demonstration,
render all men charitable, in the most enlarged and
best sense of the term. It will force on the human
mind the conviction that to blame and to be angry
with our fellow-men for the evils which exist, is the
very essence of folly and irrationality, and that no-
tions which can give rise to such feelings, never could
enter into the composition of any human being that
had been once made rational.
Are you then prepared to look upon all your fel-
low-creatures in power, and out of power, rich and
poor, learned and unlearned, good and bad, as beings
formed solely by the circumstances of their birth,
and who have been made as they are, whatever they
may be, from causes which exclude the possibilityi
of the smallest controul on their parts, in the forma-
tion of those faculties and qualities they may happen
to possess? If you cannot see and comprehend this
truth, then is the time not yet come for your deli-
verance from the depths of mental darkness and phy-
sical misery. But I trust the light is not now too
strong for you to receive without injury ; for I have
been gradually preparing you for years for its re-
ception, and if the experience which I have been
permitted to acquire of human nature does not very
much deceive me, it is not now a premature disclo-
sure. If yon then can bear to be told that human
beings, possessing the most attractive form, and the
highest intellectual attainments which the world has
yet seen, can justly claim no ottier appellation than
that of localized animals, peculiar to some of the
innumerable districts into which irrationality has di-
vided the world, and if your minds can now com-
prehend the principles which place this truth among
those, which are capable of the easiest demonstration,
then is the time of your deliverance from mental sla-
very come, and the period is approaching when you
may acquire some title to be considered rational crew•
tures. if you are in this advanced mental state, so
much to be desired for your happiness, then yon
will at once cease to blame others for the evils which
you suffer ; anger, revenge, and hatred, almost to
the very recollection of them, will be withdrawn from
your feelings; you will not longer dissipate all your
energies in attempting to find the cause of your mise-
ries among any of your fellow-men, and thus destroy
your minds and happiness by creating unceasing use-
less irritation.

No—in all respecti your conduct will become the
very reverse of this. You will regard all your fellow-
men, without distinction, as beings who are soon to
become your friends, and active co-operators in
the attainment of the substantial happiness to which
human nature is evidently destined. You will say to
those who are now in possession of riches, honours,
power, and privileges, which they have been taught
to value, " Retain these in perfect security as long
as you can hold them in estimation—our whole con-
duct and proceedings shall be a pledge to you that
we will never attempt to dispossess you of any part
of them—nay, while yon can desire pleasure from
additional wealth, we will add to that which you now
possess—the cause of contest between us will hence-
forth cease—we have discovered its irrationality and
utter uselessness. We will not, except to acquire ex-
perience from it, recur to the past, in which all have
been compelled to act an irrational part; but we will
earnestly apply ourselves to the future—and, having
discovered the light of true knowledge we will hence-
forward walk by it."
All this you may with confidence say to the higher
classes whose supposed privileges you will soon cease
to envy. For, without entering into contest with
them, without infringing on any of the imaginary pri-
vileges which prior circumstance:have placed in their
hands, a new view of your interests shall be speedily
opened to you, by which, without interfering with
the rights of any class, without exciting any -feeling
of opposition to your proceedings, you shall be ena-
bled to relieve yourselves and your descendants from
poverty, from ignorance, and from the innumerable
causes of misery to which you have hitherto been
victims. When you shall thus be enabled to under-
stand your real interests, you will have no desire for
any of the fancied advantages now possessed by the
higher classes. Had those who are of this order in
the civilized world been permitted to discover what
human nature really is, they would have distinctly
known long ago that, by being raised, as it is termed,
to the priv,ileged ranks, they are placed under .cir-
cumstances which render their successors, except by
some extraordinary chance, increasingly useless to
themselves and to society.
They are taught from infancy to set an inordinate
value on themselves, because they possess, what are
miscalled, privileges, the only real effect of which is
to surround them by circumstances which must in-
evitably make them .more helpless and dependent
than other men. They are trained from the cradle
(and therefore call for our pity, not blame) to take
pride to themselves for pursuing measures which
deprive the great mass of mankind of the most essen-
tial benefits that belong to human nature, in order
that they, a most insignificant part in point of num-
bers, may be distinguished by advantages over their
fellows. The feelings which this absurd conduct
generates throughout society,, keep the whole popu-
lation of the world in a lower degree of enjoyment
and rationality than most of the animal creation.—
They are the very essence of ignorant selfishness.
You will now soon pass this error. You will dis-

•
cover MO his so MlNVelson been the result'
of inch conduct and the pleasure to be derived frost
the most active erections is give to all your fellow-
creatures the same privileges and benefits which you
yourselves possess, and by this means, solar increase
the aggregate of human enjoyment that the least
gifted member of society will experience a larger
share Of continued and permanent happiness than
has hitherto fallen to the lot of the most fortunate.
The motives which lead to the former conduct are
altogether irrational and will not bear the glance of
an enlightened mind ; while those which will com-
pel you to adopt the latter are in unison with every
sound principle and just feeling, and defy the most
rigid scrutiny to detect in them any error. Let me
however guard you against 'a mistake which exfits
to a great extent amongst the unprivileged orders.--az
The privileged classes of the present day, tluougboet
Europe, are not, as this mistake supposes, influenced
so much by a desire to keep you down, as by an
anxiety to retain the means of securing to themseloeir
a comfortable and respectable enjoyment of
Let them distinctly perceive that •the ameliorations
which you are about to experience, are not,intended
or calculated to inflict any real injury on them or
their posterity, but on the contrary, that the same
measures which will improve you, must, as they
assuredly will, essentially benefit them, and raise
them in the scale of happiness and intellectual en-
joyment, and you will speedily have their co-opera-
tion to carry the contemplated arrangements into
effect. It must be satisfactory to you to learn that
I have had the most evident proofs from many indi-
viduals high in these classes, that they have now a
real desire to improve your condition, but from the
unfortunate situation in which they have been placed
by birth, they cannot, of themselves, devise mea-
sures by which you can be benefited, and their own
circumstances improved. Such changes must pro-
ceed from practical men.
What has been said is sufficient for your minds to
digest at one time. When you are prepared to re-
ceive more, it shall be given to you.
Heed not what men, with fanciful theories, and
without practical knowledge, may say to you.—
Many of them, I have no doubt, mean well. But
be assured, that whatever tends to irritation and
violence, proceeds from the most gross ignorance of
human nature, and evinces an utter inexperience in
those practical measures by which alone society can
be relieved from the evils which it has so long suf-
fered. My fixed intention bas long been to develope
truths which it is of the utmost importance to the
well-being of mankind to make publicly known at
this period; and I have been gradually preparing
the public mind to receive them. Where great
darkness has ever existed, a sudden admisdon of
strong light would destroy the infant poivers of vi-
sion. Unless the most salutary truths, when they
are opposed to centuries of prejudice, are introduced
with due care to those whose minds have wandered
in a labyrinth of error from their birth, the tender
germ of rationality would likewise perish, and igno-
rance and misery must continue to prevail over
knowledge and happiness. As you become ac-
quainted with these truths, cam after the other, your
long injured minds will acquire strength, and your
rational powers gradually expand, „until that know-
!Age of human nature which now appears-so incom-
prehensible to you, will discover itself:to-be as simple
as any of the other facts which surround you, and,
with which you are now the most familiar.

What I have now stated is intended to prepare the
public mind for the following conclusions:

Ist. That the Rich and the Poor, the Governs= and the Go-
verned, have really but one interest.
2d. That the notions and arrangements, which at present pre-
vail throughout society, are necessarily destructive of the happi-
ness of all ranks.

3d. That a correct lbeeededge of human nature, will destroy
all animosity and anger among men, and prepare the way for.
new arrangements which will be introduced without violence,
and without injury to any party, and which will effectually re-
move the cause from which all the errors and evils of society
now proceed.
4th. That the Higher Classes in general, no longer %% hit to
degrade you; but, in any change that may be proposed for your
benefit, they demand only that advantages should be secured to
theft, at least equal to those which they now possess: And this
feeling is quite natural, it would be your's if you were in their
situadoe.

Sth. That you now possess all the means which arc necessary
to relieve yourselves and your descendants to the latest period,
from the sufferings which you have hitherto experienced, except
the Knowledge how to direct those means.
6th. That this Knowledge is withheld from you only until the
violence of your irritation against your fellow-men shall cease;
that Is, until you thoroughly understand; and are influenced in
all your conduct by the principle," That it is the circumstances

of birth, with subsequent surrounding circumstances, an form-
editor the individual (and over which society has now a turn-
pike esetrol), that have hitherto made the past generations of
guakb&into the 'rational creatures exhibited in history, and
fashioned them, up to the present hour, into those localised
beings of country, stet, class and party, who now compose the
population of the girth."
lth, and Lastly. That the past ages of the world present the
history of human irrationality only, and that we are but now
advancing towards the dawn of reason, and' to the period when
the mind of man shall be born again.
