ITEJ1T. HOWELL.

1t. Franklin E. Howell, killed in the
engagement on board the, q. S. frigate
President, was son Of the late Governor
Howell, of New-Jelsey. When about
years old he had the misfortune to lose
bis father, whose loss, however, was in
great measure made up to him by Gen.
Franklin Davenport, of Woodbury., who
took hnniuto his family and treated him
with all the affection of kind and tender
parent. Under-ti.e more immediate care
and instruction of Miss Deborah Daven-
port, sister to the general, he received
the rudiments of his moral and religious
education. which had an abiding effect on
him. His literary acqui emefts, in which
lie had made considerable progress, were
obtained in. the Woodbury. Academy,
He was entered A;idshipsnan in the =.
S. service, nnder Com. Decatur some
time in the year one thousand eight hun
dred and eleven, in which capacity lis
conduct was such as to acquire him the
esteem Of his equal and superior officers,
aud to recommend him to Tee attention
of the government, who in the years one
thousand eight hundred and fourteen, con-
terredS on hin. the rank of lieutenant. In
his disposition he was amiable, III bis de-
pertinent moral, inhis manners unusually
polite and gentlenianly, in his Office firm
and brave. Such was this young gentle
man who fell in the late destructive war
at 1.-THE early aye ofeighteen, in bravely de-
Tending the flag of his country. Thus have
been blasted the foud hopes and pleasing
expectations of meny kind parents and
friends, by this verse than useless war
He has left a large circle of relations,
friends, acquaintances, to lament his
premature death, but while they have the
consolation to reflect that he fell undautn-
eddy discharsing his official duty.

mighty work 81 esfablishing the indepen-
dence of ! people, which may one day
delight the philanthropist with the view
Of as great an assemblagc Of freemen, as
Europe now contains Of slaves. His firm
mind, adapted to all circumstances Of for
tune, equally inaccessible to the batteries
Of hope, and the suggestions Of despair,
was kept steady BY the grand principles
Of pure love to his country, and a religious
attachment to moral duty. He was one
ofthose truly great men, who can be cool
without phlegn, dispassionate without In
difference CONSTANT intent upon an
important end, are little moved by the VI.
cisasitudes s. fluctuations in the means
which lead to it. In him, even fame,
glory, reputation, were subordinate con-.
siderations to the successful performance
of the high task assigned him; & he could
without impatience wait for that reward
of public applause and gratitude, which
was all he desired for services beyond the
power of estimate. In his character were
renewed all the qualities we most admire
in the noblest names of antiquity. Ii
molecn, Aristides, Canillus, Fabius, did
not surpass him in fortitude, prudence,
disinterestedness, and integrity. No one
ever more effeetually united decisive
irmness, with that lenity which flows
from true benevolence. Noone ever pas
sed through the ordeal ofpower and influ-
ence more free from the remotest suspi-'
cion of selfish and unsuspicious designs.
To have passed unsuilied through such
career Of glory and usefulness, is sohigh
and rare a blessing, that regret for his
loss will probably, in those minds which
are warmed by sense OF exalted virtue,
be sunk in the satisfaction of seeing ano-
Their illustrious name placed beyond all
danger Of human infirmity.

the Spanish Minister in America, to make
