EX TRA T
From Mrs. Plkington's mirror for young
Ladies.

A centented mind is continual feast, &
the pleasure of the banquet is greatly aug
mented by knowing that each man may be.
come his own entertainer.
A eontented temper is one of the greatest
blessings that can be enjoyed, and one OF
the most material requisites, for the dis
charge of social duties.
The mind that is continually repining
at It's lot, and laa,en,ing the miseries of
fate, at length becomes SO Infatuated to
the practice, that il forgets It's own unwor.
thinsss, and by constant murmurings grows
impious, towards its maker. Discomfort,
may be termed gangene. which prsys up.
on the yitals, infects the whole constitution
with disease and at length totally destroys
the pleasures of existence!
IL was desired to give an ailegorieal
description of confentment, | should term
il the offspring of piety. the sister OF resig-
nation, and the parent of cheeyfulness.
Mr.. Addison in one of his excellent dis.
courses, observes thsrc are but two things
which ought to deprive Us of cheerfulness
of heart. The 6rsi vi these, says the sle-
CANT writer, is a sense of guilt; for no man
can be easy or tranquil whese conscience
conyic,s him of acts ofimpiety, or deeds of
desperation: & the second proceeds from
doubt or disbelief of the existence OF SUE
preme being. There is something says the
author / have just quoted, 80 particularly
gloomy in the last idea that il is no won.
der that the being who INDUCES it should
be incapable of chserfulness."
The foHowing proclamation IS copied from
the odfciaI paper Of Trinidad.

place, from the orator which was opened
in the year 1894.
The lava quickly spread over the plata,
TO the distance OF four Italian miles, and
proceeded towards the sea, which it reach

The American Schooner Eliza and Katy
of Philadelphia which had been detained
by the Polecat privateer, OF this harbour,
I. Thompson master, about three weeks a.

former letter, left the harbour this tide
for Rotterdam, the place of her destination,
having received her discharge and certlh-
cate of clearance from the court OF ADM.
rally. She was laden with sugar and coffee,
said to be from Baltimore. but suspected of
coming directly from some of the French
West India Islands the majority OF her
crew were native Blacks; she had three
whites on board except the Captain. They
had been imprisoned for some misdenean.
or; upoa their release, they entered into
His Majesly'k service, and we're carried os
board the Ariadne. The schooner having
cleared the inner harbour, and taken her
pilot on board, had proceeded through the
outward, TO the Pier, when she gave three
cheers, twice repeated, in exuitation of
her delivery; but this triumph was not Of
long dGrailon.
Two Lieutenants of the Ariadne, who
had been ON shore for the three men who
had entered, Immediately put off from the
quay, in their Iolly.boat, in pursuit Of her;
and, at the same moHent, the Puritan prl.
vateer. belonging to this port. William
Guy, Commander, got under weigh for
the same purpose; thesch'r being remark
able fast sailor, kept to windward for near
half league, when the Boat of the AFRAID
ne fred four musket shots at her, without
bringing her to, when the Courier cutter,
then in the Roads, followed the boats ex.
ample, and fired two gun shots she
then hove to, and the Ariadne Instantly
weighed her anchor, and came up with hvr
and, having sent boat on board Of her
TO overhaul her, both put about and return
ed to these Roads, where they sill remain
being accompanied by the privateer during
the whole time. 1t is generally understood,
that some recent information had transpi-
red, through some of the men who entered
on detention. Two thirds of the cargo oil
the ship which was sent in along with her
asalready mentioned have been condemned
and being from the same port, and for the
same destination, some suspicion attaches
to her.
