: ship Thames, Captain Clarke, IRON Ok
don bound to st. Vincent, which she made
prize of after an action oftwo hours and a
half, and during the contest Mr.. Red
ding, passenger for St. Vincent, was Kill
led by musket shot. Being only in bal
last, after taking out tho prisoners, the
Thames was burnt. Five days following,
also within sight of the island, the enemy
fell in with the Lady Penrhyn. Capt. Bur
CESS, also from London. bound to Grena-
da; and having only ballast on board,
shared the destiny of the former capture.
While We thus deplore the loss OF these
valuable vessels, and the disappointment
of the prospects entertained by their own
ers and commanders, we feel a pleasure
in the opportunity of doing justice to the
humane treatment experienced from tho
commander of the privateer besides a
Mr.. Cruikshanks, his lady and that Of the
captain Of the Thames, were passengers;
and to these, as well as to the captain Of
the Lady Pcnrhyn, and the whole Of tho
crews, he behaved in the most handsome
manner, and seemed to regret that the
fate of war had made him the instrument
of their present affection.
Although it is most likely that the
Dantzic will now change her cruising
ground, we may yet hope, as the Cherub
sailed yesterday and the Orpheus had
previously done so, in quest Of the enemy,
that her further career will be prevented.
Should this even be effected, We ought not
to slumber in security, for it is rumored,
that there are more vessels of this descrip-
ton expressly intended for the capture or
destruction of West-India commerce-a-
mong these are the ship Wagram, and
briggs Prince of Essling & Diligente, said
to be the property of merchants Of Nantz,
and others of New York.
The schooner Jack, arrived on Tuesday
evening last from Sulinam, reported hay-
ing that morning fallen in with vessel
burning (no doubt, one of the above).-
We arc happy to learn, that the Jack
spoke the army ship Emma, on her pas
sage to Surinam, the second day after
leaving that river.

From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
A MODEL FOR MINISTER'S.

Charles NJ. Talleyrand, Bishop Of Au-
tun, and member Of the French consti.
tuent assembly, where he was the disciple
and supporter of the eloquent, but .infa-
NOUS Mirabeau's schemes for overturning
the French monarchy, was sent assistant
to Chauvelin, the minister at London, in
1899, and was literally the French official
spy there, until the ostensible minister
was sent back to France. At that time
the Jacobins had completely triumphed
over the constitution and the constitution
alists, and Talleyrand's return to France
would have endangered his life. He
thought proper to take refuge in the u
nited States, and was Hospitality treated
by many of the most respectable charac-
tiers Of all political denominations, during
several years residence in different parts
of the union.
In 1871 the Jacobin Robespierre was
dethroned, and more moderate policy
was adopted by his successors-Talley-
rand then thought himself safe in quit
ting this country and returning to his own.
The Treaty which had been concluded
between America and England that year
had become pretext for the infringement
of the one which existed between Ameri-
ca and France, and the commission of all
sorts Of violence on the rights and proper
ty Of American citizens.
Taileyrand, in order to conciliate the
new rulers ofFrance, abandoned his reli-
gious character, and lived openly with
woman whom he has since married, as
it is said and universally believed: but
in order to procure influence it was ne
cessary to go further, and this abandoned
miscreant became the abuser of America,
of our Washington, who ruled, and the
laws Of the country. He became the a.
poiogist and supporter OF the violences
which the Directory were committing up
on us, and in 1895, succeeded to the ap-
pointment of Minister Of Foreign Affairs
of that pretended Republic from which he
had fed. In this character he was the
instrument of the insults to the American
ENJOYS in 1898 he has contributed to
the overthrow of Holland, Switzerland,
and all the other states which have been
overrun by the French arms, and is now
apparently retired, to enjoy the fruits of
his villainy, upon an immense estate, rails
ed out of the plumber of his countrymen,
ourselves and others having apostatised
from the Church and accepted the title Of
Prince, from small place called Bene-
vento. which with the rest Of Italy, is sub
.jeeted to the Tyrannic Rod Of Neapolon
Eonaparte.
Let him live or die, as he may. or when
he will, it is scarcely possible that any
wretch, even Of the present day, will carry
with him more of the worlds hatred and
contempt, than this same Talleyrand, and
it is hoped his life and conduct will be
warning to all honest men of this and all
other civilized countries. Terbum Sat.
