You have quoted paragraph which some

advocate for The exclusion OF american yes
SETS from the Russian ports.--t shall not boast
to you, how many American vessels have
been, by my exerlions alone, admitted into
the Russian ports, and which, but for me,
would have been excluded from them. There
are documeats, publick and private, upon
this subject, which need NOT display before
you.-rhs official papers have been and viii
be received at the Department OF State, and
there willingly leave them. Neither is 1t
necessary tor nle to tell you that not one A.
merioan vessel h-s, TO my knowledge, been
excluded from Russian port since my arri.
val here.
Russia and England being at war, the
commercial intercourse between them is, OF
course, forbidden anc neither English vss-
sells nor English subjects are allowed 10 come
into the Russian Territories. You already
know that one of the expedients by which
the English have attempted to evade these
prohibitions was by presenting themselves
Z rs Americans, with forged passports and
ships papers. The Russisn Government adj

as such by the American Minister or Consul.

In the Legislature of South-Caroiiua, at
their late session, law was passed to remove
the qualification OF property which was Tor
merly necessary to entitie citizen to vote.
1t is devouty 10 be wished, that every State,
where such clog on the elective franchise
is suffered, measursbly, to affect the liberties
of the people, may follow the lsudabie exam
pie of South-Csrolina. We hope and trust,
that ere long the Legislature ot our State
will take this subject into consideration, and
adopt such measures as will tend TO destroy
this appendage Of aristocracy, or, II we may
be allowed this expression, this property tests
We have been led TO these remarks, from
observing in the Troy Register, the following

A, man who turned all serious godliness IN
to ridicule and contempt, declared there was
no need of SO much ado, for if he had but time
to say three Words, Lord save me-" he did
not doubt but he should go to heaven Not
long after, this confident Gallo was riding a

met flock Of sheep the horse took fright,

To have entered into a serious defence of
the gospel OF Christ would have been the
height OF folly; but such an answer as this
was calculated to silence her better chan a

neither have been able nor willing to under

Lord Littleton, author Of the History Of
Henry the Second, and Gilbert West, had
both imbibed the principles Of unbelief and
had agreed together 70 write something in IA
yor Of infidelity. To do this mere efcctual-
y, they judged it necessary to acquaint them
selves pretty well with the Bi5le. By the
pcrusal Of that book, however, they were both
convinced of their error: both became con-
yerts to the religion Of Christ Jesus; both
took up their pens and wrote in favor Of it ::
the former his Observations on the Conver-
sioa of St. Paul the latter, his Observations
on the Resurrection of Christ and both died
in peace.
