TINE DEHTR and PoRrRAIT OF C6py1Ty
SAMUEL MoOD,- or H4yopRp


DlED-At his seat, in The upper end OF Hano-
yer, on the 18th inst april 1922 CAprA1N
SAMUEL MOODY, who, for 30 years had re-
sided where he died; and during that time had
so conducted himself as to merit the esteem &
confidence of all who knew him. He has left
n widow and two children, with a comfortable
estate, free from debt or embarrassment.
Capt Samuel Moody ut his death, was sixty
hive years of age. He was born in the county
OF Chester, in Pennsylvania, and in the first
stage of the Revolution obtained the appoint-
ment of Captain from the Committee of Safety
OF that State. He entertained to the last. the
true fire of republican soul.-So ardent W s he
upon this topic, that he would reprove even his
best friends, if they appeared to abate in that
holy arder which made his country free.
Capt. Moody migrated from PENNSYLVANIA to
Virginia in the year 1892; and being well ac-
quanted with the Milling business, soon be-
came largely engaged in that calling; such was
Capt. Moody's reputation in his profession, that
he received the appointment of first Inspector
OF Flour ar Richmond, and may be said to have
been the parent of that high character which
the Richmond Flour has since acquired.
Few men ever lived who discharged with so
much exactness and rectitude, all the relations
OF citizen, neighbour, friend, and relative
Captain Moody in his manner was not ONLY
candid but blunt-but his bluntness was that of
pure, honest heart, and an active esteem
To those whom he most loved and respected.
hewas most candid to others he was silent :
so that they whom he most loved, he most re-
proved.
1t is believed that Captain Moody has not
LETT an enemy 1t is very certain that he did
not deserve one.
Such is the testimony of A FRIEND.

4 British merch1nt. VETO was for several
days prisoner with them, informs, that it
was their determination to carry the can
tatnS OF the vessels they destroyed to France
and it is known that Capt. Curtis, of the
Adventure, was retained on board, while his
crew were permitted to return. If these
frigates were out upon any particular ex-
pedition, and destroyed the vessels under the
apprehension of their giving information of
their cruise" the captains, upon their arri-
val in France, will have an immediate claim
upon that government for full indemniIicati-
ON. Ifthis is denied, every American will
not only pronounce such conduct IA palpable
breach of faith, but absolute and downright
piracy.

Capt Richardson, of the schr. Kitty Ann,
was on shore at Amelia Island on Friday
last. He informs us that st. Augustine still
held out. A difference of opinion existed
between the leaders of the Patriots and
their men; the latter were anxious to at
tempt the place by storm, but the officers
had hitherto dissuadcd them from the at
tempt, preferring towait, in the expectation
that the place would soon surrender, as they
had cut ofal supplies from the land side
M1NTosH, the leader of the Patriots, had
returned to st. Mays to obtain supplies for

COMMON SENSE.

We find that the federal prints produce
the captures and burning of American YES
sells by the French as arguments against a
war with England, We really cannot un-
derstand how the wrongs of one enemy ex-
cuse those of another. The federalists them
selves admit that it would be unwise to go
to war with both powers. Then, surely, it
is improper to give the captures and insults
OF one belligerent as reasons against coerc-
ing redress from the other. BY such course,
we can never so to war with either, but
must pcaceably submit to wrongs tenfold
worse than those which we have suffered
because if French wrongs are arguments in
favour of preserving peace with England,
English wrongs arrangements for preserving
peace with France. If federal arguments
are good, how will that party obtain their
favorite object--a war with France? But
such arguments are most foolish They in
vite continued aggression they lay us open
to aggravated insult, and they admonish us
to remain in quictu1e under all the injuries
which the two beligerents may choose to
heap upon as. Bat. finer.
