During all hi, life, Haydn was very
religious. Without assuming the preacl'-
er, 1t may be said. that his talent wa,
encreased by his sincere faith in the
truths of religion. A, the commehce.
meGt OF all his scores, the following
words are described: In nomins Domini,
or, Sob Deo sioria and at the couclu.
sion OF all of them is written Laus Deo.
When, in. composing, he felt the az
dor OF his Imagination decline, or was
stopped by some insurmountable difficult
ty, he rose from the piano forte, 4 began
to run over his rosary. He said, that he
never found this method FAIL When |
was employed upon the CREATION said
he, felt myself so penetrated with re-
ligious feeling, that, before | sat down
to the piauo-forte, l prayed to GOd with
earnestness, that he would enable me to
praise him worthily."

although that body have the power of en-
forcing our national rights, and of 10
creasing the restrictions in the premises,
vet, as they have not done so, the act can
only prevail SO Tar as its provisions have
contemplated.
1t is not, however. to be inferred that,
because such restrictions have not been
enacted in the navigation act, the British
tra'e from the British West India is
lands is upon the same footing OF recipro-
city which it is from the British Eul ope-
an territories with the United States -
for, By the revenue laws of the United
Sta'es, 10 per cent. is required on the
amouut Of goods imported from the Bril-
fish West Indies, together with alien
tonnage duties Of 50 per ton, and Of so
cents light money, more than is required
from British vessels coming from British
European pCrts; and the goods so i'm
ported are under tue restriction Of not
being allowed to be re-shipped for d.aw-
back.
As then. the big Mary has entered
this port of the United States under the
provisions Of the late navigation act; and
as both the vessel and cargo are British
property, and The latter is the grawth,
produce, and manufacture Of jamaica, Il
British island in the " est Indies, there
is no cause for further arreotation al
though there has been prsbabie and rea-
sOhable cause Of seizure.
1t is, therefore, ordered that both YES
sci and cargo be restored on payment Of
costs.

Captain Ray, at Nantucket, from the
Pacific Ocean, put into Talcaguama on
the Goth June for supplies, and laid there
three DAYS. The place was garrisoned
with about 5000 kings troops; they bad
had no action with the Patriot troops
since the latter took the city of Concep-
ton. The garrison was short Of proy;-
GEOGRAPHICALLY bread. Captain Ray
obtained wood, water, and some bul!ocks,
in exchange for bread, and was well
treated. There was then lying at Tai.
caguama one irigate, one sloop Of war,
thee gun briggs, and a number of ships,
&c. The Patriots possessed all the
count y around. except the peninsula on
which the garrison stands. The Royal
lists expected reinforcement from Lima,
and should they be disappointed in that,
they talked Of evacuating the place in a
bou' ose month; they had vessels enough
10 take all their troops or They were
not annoyed by the Patriots, who, having
cut of all supplies from the country, cal
culated on starving them out. The can
