make sacrifice Of their sentiments, lest they should
incur the wrath and indignation of certain men of
wealth and influence, who are able and sufficiently
depraved very materially to pjurc them. Certain

THE design Of the British faction, in the

OF this country to AS low a state of vassalage,
as they are in E.ropc. There are three cias-
SEES OF mankind, who have assumed the rank
and power of sovereignty--,hey arc 1fonar-
chy, Nohi6ty, and Hierarchy (or established
religion): These three classes arc destitute
of the feelings .of humanity--who make the
great hotly ofthe people in Europe miserable,
from their rigorous and execrable manner Of
exercising their government over them. The
british .facfion in this country arc aiming to
establish such KIM, of government over the
United States Of America. Sef.interest st and
ambition actuates and perverts the minds of
the leaders of this fiction and doubt not
hut seven eighths of tue people who Join them
are led into error, and thereby lose sight of
their own interest and that Of their country.

tatives tosthe House of Co'nmons, would be
so much reduced N number, to what they

weighty facts the people ought to ponder

OE-the French priyateer sch'r Thorn, *
in want of provisions, reported to have Ia
ken a ship with slaves which was cast away
on the 24th inst. to the westward OF the
South West Pass.
4 This is the famous schooner L'Epine,
which We noticed in our paper of the 10th
May. She was delivered up to the claim
ants without being lbelled, although among
her papers were found orders from her own
ers to sham distress and enter our waters.
She appears rigidIy to act up to the letter of
her instructions as she was not to feign dis
tress, only when she had been successful in
making q good prize or prizes she has
now the ship Alert, with 40 slaves on
board. This is well known good market
for slaves
Previous to the L'Epine's sailing on this
last cruze, the owner of the ship John bro't
L c. a. L..
dered from the John at sea, and laid his
damage at something near one thousand dol
lars-the captain, rather than hazard trial,
paid six hundred dollars and got an acquit-
al.
The ship John now lies loaded at the Ba-
lize, cleared for some port in Ireland, but
is afraid, Gas we are informed) to put to sea,
lest his friend, the captain of the L'Epiae,
pays him another visit.
