GALLANT MANGUvRE.


Easas 81 letter from gentleman in Malaga. TO
biz f1iesd n abis Gig, dated Ga. 6, go.
Ycltcrday a fcene was exhibited
here highly pleaiing to every real Ame-
rican. The brig Thomas Pinckney,
Lawton, of Newyork, from Palermo,
bound here, was captured few days
ago by a French privateer, who was
bringing her into this port for con-
domination. AS loon as it was per-
ceived that fhe was of the French, capt.
Packwood of the fhip Warrington,
who was lying in the bay, with an a.
lacrity which will ever reIlea honor on
him, feeling a juit indignation for the
infulfed rights of his country, immedi-
ately got his vcflel under weigh, and to
the no finau fatisfaction of concourle
of Americans and others, who were
anxious ipeaators of this interelfing
fccne, retook the prize by boarding her
with his boats; the priyateer narrowly
efcaped the fame fate by rowing in
ihore.
" The Spaniards, fpurrcd on by
French influence, ihcwed, or pretended
TO fflcw, a great degree Of rcfentmcnt
at this )appeIsd violation of territory,
which by the bye they had frequently
paded over unnoticed, when committed
by the French I: and in order to fatisfy
the eager remonitrances of the cnraged
Frenchmen, thc'ports prepared to FIRE,
and the gun boats ordered out to attack
the Warrington, and rctake her prize
they went out, bur after the fpirited
conduct to which t'.sy had been eye
witneies, they felt very little inclina-
ton to hazard an attack, and returned
again without attempting any thing.
"Every article thai the malice of
enragcd Frcnchmen could invent, was
made up to prejudice the Americans in
that place but happily for us, their
influence, altho almof unbounded, was
lilwarted by the fpirited ex-
ertions Of our. pro- Conlul Mr. Edward
Bedingfeld. who acts in place Of Mr..
Michael Murphy, dcccafed !; and the
French obtained no other fatisfastion
than that Of being told that they had
done the fame on many occaIions."
Ycaerday David rockingham was
Brought to the bar of the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, and received his
sntencc for the libel on Gen. Hamil-
on |; which was, that he be fined 100
dollars, imprifoned four months in the
Bridwell, and remain there till he be |
'ound for his good behaviour for two !

From toe (N.Ty Sass7af'r
One of the mon ufful effects OF National
Fan and Thanksgiving days, is the opportunity
| they afford for Political Sermons, in which Cler
gymen of talents & patriotifm diicufs the prin-
ciples of government, and warn the people a
CANT the pernicious efeas of any dangerous
meafures that ambitious men may be purifying.
The utility and good consequences Of this
practice are 70 obvious that the heads sfeppsfhon
are alarmed affecting to hold the appointment
of fuch days in contempt, and declaiming a.
gainl the interference OF the Clergy, IN matters
of government. The latter practice is ftalc
one, and the refuit of the wild theories of book
soliticians. The union Of the political and &C.
clefanical authority is eential to the we'll be
ing of fociety. No government eur did re-
ltrain the palions of men from violence without
the aid Of the terrors Of rsEgios, or Handing M
E,ary force and we have no reaon to believe
eper qtM The people can certainly take their
choice-they may take the denuncations of re-
ligion, or aa army with bayonets at their
brea1s but one or the other will be found ne.
ceGary to preferve the members of lociety from
violence.
Government cannot and ought not TO attempt
to controul private opinions but it ought to
furuifh the means Of good education in mo-
rails and religion, and it ought to encourage
and protea religious inaitutons as part of
civil policy. The two things never ought to be
feparated and that government which per
mits and countensnces contempt Of religious
principles and infiutions, will foon find lis CT
tizens degenerating into licentioulnefs and bar.
barifm.
The Clergy as an order, ought not to have
political influence neither ought the Fraternity
of mafons, nor democratic iocieties nor the
lawyers, the merchants, mechanics or any 9TH
er locetes or protection. But as indpdnaLs the
Clergy ought to have their due ihare of inau-
ence. They are citizens who have their interelt
in The peace and Happiness of the ita,c and as
learned bo5y of men, the friends of peace,
they are among the bea props of government.
1t is greatly for the in,erea OF the public, that
they fhould remain 10 and hence all atheias,
ilcobins, licen ious men, and of delpcrate for
tune. are their deadly enemies.
