advantage OF the darkness of The night, and
abandoned the intrenchments. Meantime
their van guard of 100 men, were come up

the interior of the intrenchment, shared the
same fate. La this affa r we had one officer

A few days before the sailing of the Des

the State. A bundle of state papers had
been sent to him at the Empress's private
apartment, by the Due de Galore, but he
sent them back unopened.

of an affair which had excited considera

board of an English man of war, at anchor
outside the harbor; and succeeded in eff.

excited no suspicion, and he had regularly
corresponded with his commander in chief.

Since 1 had the pleasure of writing you
on the LIST instant, / have heard that it is
supposed and feared by many Americans at
Paris, who have property depending, that an
order on the part OF the government will be
issued to revoke the decisions of the Council
of Prizes, already made, where the compro-
mise has been made with the captors, and
prevent any future notifications by SAID coun
Gil. Ii is said, that when the Emperor was
at Dunkirk, of late, he saw two American
ships preparing to sail, inquired the cause,
and found that they had arranged with their
captors, when he ordered them seized imme.
diately 1t would appear by this. that the
giving up any part OF the cargoes to the A
mercans, is contrary to the meaning & sp
rit of the late DEGREES. The amount of the
thing is. that It the council Cannot ratify the
compromise, if tried and not condemned to
the captors. then the government will Sc
quester the property as they do those not
brought in as prizes"

In my last number the right of private

attempt to show how far persons conduct
should be regulated by the opinion of 9TH

pure. We will also suppose that the gen

But this man has his conversation much in
The world he appears 10 relish the soci-
ETY. OF men OF loose principles, and thus, to
use the words Of The Apostle, " sits at meat
IN the idols temple" We will now sup
pose another man weak in faith though
sincere believer, who looks TO this first for
an example, and without inquiry follows his
steps. Not having the same strength of
mind, nor feeling the same supports, he
falls, IN the hour of temptstion, before the
enemy Of all souls. In this view Of the
subject, il is not difficult to say what should
have been the conduct Of this first man.
Notwithstanding that " to the pure all
things are pure" we should avoid even the
appearance of evil, and whenever we act in
the view OF the world, take care that we
be not an occasion of stumbling TO 9TH
