is necessary, Sir, to clear away the rubbish by which time
the public intellect is impeded, before it is suffered con

at issue. It is the little artifice and stratagem of a
bad cause.

The following is said to be an extract of a letter,
of a late date, from an. Officer an board the Ramilies,
dated, oil New London:--" I write you awbour or
two pefore I voluntarily proceed with a division of
of our ship's crew, to a noble trial of British 'elope
and Atilt. A challenge haling beenunt hy the A*:
iican frigate Macedonia, to the British frigate Stietrart
to dispute the honour of their country's flags, it has
been necessary to complete our's to the same comp's-
meld is the enemy ; I have, therefore, solicited to be
one on so proud and glorious an occasion."
It is curioul to see in the town of Falmouth, R 5
subscribers to the relief of the distressed Germans of
the ;tame of Fox. We have heard that foxes are
plenty in Cornwall, but we see no cause of alarm at
the rapid increase of the species, provided the pre.
sent generation support the distinguished character
for justice and uprightness, which were so conspi-
cuous in the late Mr. Joseph Fox, of Falmouth, of
whom we present our readers.. with the following
Anecdote :—This gentletnin, who was a Quaker,
was in a former war concerned in a trading .vessel
with another person, who, having the contmand,..
fitted her out as a letter of marque, contrary to the
monstrance.: of Fos ;this ship succeeded in capturiog
a valuable French prize, which, after the usual trialv
was tegalty condemned, and sold for the benefit et
the captors. Mr. Fox, however, not satisfied to
partake of the gain of injustice and violence (as he
considered it, although from an enemy), repaired to
France, where, by means of advertisements, he got
to the knowledge of the rightful owuers of the prize;
to whom he restored the property which, by the
chance of war, had thus come into his hands: We
may conclude that so sublime an act of justice was
equally acceptable and astonishing to the proprietor!,
the descendants of whom, to this day, hold the name
end principles of Fox in the highest esteem.
