no doubt these will be plentifuIly iaterspersed-
We learn also, that the young Try intend to-

The following lc,iel addressed to trc kine
we copy from the London inuc pendent y, hiE
in laying be fore our readers this ilhtu pic
sure of the depravily and lioenuouSnoss oi ,hs
royai family, we are naturally led To reHett
upon the difference between well consutu.
ed republick, and corrupt and ambitiol,
monarchy. HERE no man is exalted above
his fellow citizens, but by lis ,aients and MS
sound and inflexiOe patlioisn,--ht IS select
Ell from millions - the consent Of treemen,
and placed at the pinn.ce OF power, where
he exercises the duties OF his sttion with
Den.ht to his country, end receives IN return,
tse merlted approbstien oi his friends and
,ciow cilizens. THERE, the monarch and
the prince, born to hereditary nonours, in
the possession OF fortpnes, of titles, and Of all
orders, (except the order of merlL pursue d
system OF measures in opposition TO truth or
justice, anO IL hostility TO moral or political
virtue---to support their depraved appetites,
they pinch their industrious subjects, and
drain the Golfers of the rich, ties of nature
and affection are trampled down by hem,and
the eternal principles OF justice are dorided
and set at naught like tie IeA dogstar whose
autumnal heat sucks up the v;gour OF the un.
parched earth, they spread desolation around
them, and when their sway becomes absolute,
they paralize tho hand OF industry, and de-
stroy the hope and expectation of integrity
and enterprize.
How unfortunate, how truly miserable,
must the nation be, who are compelled to
support a depraved family and corrupt ad-
minlstration, and whose Joint efforts nave
placed them OH the brink Of destruction, and
rendered them objects of pity and contempt
to surrounding nations.

potick ORDERS and DEGREES.
There is no doubt but that our government

New YORK, June '27. :
On the 9th of October Iast, captain
Samuel Green of the ship Polly, bound
from this port to Falmouth, was cap
|tuted by a French privateer, about ten
or twelve leagues S.,W. of the Scilly4
Islands. The commander of the pri-
water, after plundering the ship of ma
ny valuable articles took away all the
ships crew, excepting capt G. and his
apprentices end put on board prize
master and four men, with orders to
conduct the ship into the nearest port
of France or Spain. On the 9th, ha-- 3
wing sailed days for the French coast.
Capt. Green seized favourable mo-
n1ent, when two of the Frenchmen
were asleep In the cabin, and when
two more had just gone below, to re.
capture the ship H instantly spr.np
forward, nailed the. cabin doors, fas.
tened the companion, bolted the hatch
over the sky-light, and secured the
man at the helm. Thus, once more
master of his ship, he wore her round,
and steered for the ncarest port Of En-
gland or Ireland. The Frenchmen
below having been two days in their
close confinement, suffering with heat
and tortured with the weavils which
had wandered from the rice in the
hold and infested the cabin, requested
to be brought on deck, and promised O..
bedience and submissin. Motives of
humanity induced captain G. to re.
lievc them from their distressing situ-
alton. He brought them up separate
Fly, and secured them on different parts
of the deck. On the 18th Of the same
mouth, after sailing. an this manner
nine days, without closing his eyes,
he arrived in safe y at Bristol, in En-
gland. Capt, O.. is native of this
country, and, as will appear from the
exploit above related, a man of bold
and eaterprizing spirit.
For his brave and spirited exertions
on this occasion, the New-York and
Columbian Insurance Companies, in
this city, have presented to. captain
Green, and his apprentice, generous
and honorable reward. The follow
ing letter accompanying the very libe-
raj compliment, (Which, we under-
stand, consisted of an elegant set of

While an act of gallantry of this
nature is ever its own best rccompence,

brings to the heart which has stchiey-
