lege which Mr.. Aguirres' commission con-
ferred on him, the judge. was OF OPINION
that this gentlemen, not being accredited
by the president, and the independence OF
Buenos Ayres not being acknowledged by
the government Of the United States he
was liable to be proceeded against for any
offence which be might commit against our
laws, in the same way as any other indi-
vidual. On the 3rd point, the Judge thot
no offence could be committed against The
third section of this act, unless the vessel
was armed as well as fitted out with intent
TO be employed, &c. That it does not ar-
pear by any part of the act that congress
intended TO prohibit the citizens OF the [.
S. from building vessels and selling them
TO either OF the belligerents, so long as
they were not armed. In the case CI
principal, il was clearly necessary by The
very terms Of the law, to render him cri-
minal, that the vessel should be fitted ont
ard armed. Those. therefore. who wcre
knowingly concerned III tie furnishing. 1T
ting ont, or arming Of such ship or vessel,
must also be considered rs innocent. until
an actual armament took place, or this al
surdity would result, that one man might
have a vessel built and fitted out Tor this
purpose without being guilty,of any oflence.
while the whole penalty OF the Law might
be incurred by person who should fur
aish her with single suitof sails OF Ca
be. As il respected the evidence OF an
armament, the dispositions on which the
warrants had issued, were not only either
altogether silent, or quite insufficient 10
prove the fact-but those on tie part of the
defendants established, beyond controver-
sy, that neither OF the vessels. although no
doubt built :o- warlike purposes, had ever
been armed.
Juige Livingston was therefore OF OPT
Mon, that neither Of the parties arrested
had committed any offence, and ordered
them all to be discharged.

COMMERCIAL.
Extract ofo letter from Hare ofJune 8,
reeeirsd by the Cyrus.
The numerous arrivals from the L. S.
this spring hate brought into market most
valuable stock OF ATerican commodities,
which have generally met with a pretty
steady demand Our stock of American
cotton wool which somewhat exceeded
10000 bales, Is now gradually lessening
and may lie CON puted at about 5000 Up
land, 100 Orleans, and $50 Sea Islands.
We are Of opinion that our prcsen. que
tations will maintain this year. especially
for prime sorts which are scarce, and will
always command advanced prices.
Bengais hang heavy on hand, and afford
but little or no encouragement Our stock
has accumulated by LATE importations from
India and The L. 5. to about l0, 600 bales.
Brazils have been somewhat neglected
OF late.
Our market for Am. rice and -four opens
this year rather unfarorably for importers.
on account OF the generally fine aspec; Of
growing crops IN France and abroad. Ca
roina rice sold latterly at SO 3s!f duty
free. We have now hardly 1900 casks in
first bands, which we presume will main
tain-East India and Brazils nominal.
Some rye -four sold as low as e0f per bbl
and superine will not now command 50.
duty free. We may have about $500 jbls
in the market.
Pot and pearl ashes, querciiron bark,
and bees wax are OF limited consumption,
but will however meet with ready sale
at quoted prices, in small lots well selected
We are at this moment but slightly provided
with these articles.
Fish, and sperm oil, pitch, tar, rosin,
and slaves, colonial and East India pre-
duce, command ready sale at qsoteG pri-
ces, especially coiees, which, as will be
observed, rules high, continues scarce, and
is much wanted The late actual impor-
tatir are by no means adequate 10 our
wanis-Cocoa but little demand.
We entertain favorable opinion of TO-
kaccos-Nirsinias, 1916, and ken.uckys
II, prime qualities, have decided pre-
ference, especially the latter, which IS well
adapted TO our wants. Our actua! stock
does not exceed 1900 hhds. in Virginia,
Kentucky, Carolina, and Georgia descrip-
tioDs.
Sugars are not in active demand, but su-
perior Havana, especially yellows, would
obtain higher prices-Brazi!s. Muscovados.
Bengals and Javas, are also very saleable
here-a Java cargo Of 2045 canisters. sold
lately at 65, and Mauritius at 55 and Ga.
We also recommend fine Bengal and Mexi-
co indigos, fine teas, spices, Buenos Ayres
hides, (a5a SO lbs) gums and dyewoods,
as likely TO offer good result here. The
iormer article is scarce and wanted-a lot

FASHION.
While oilers sing of Music's charms,
Ofbeauty's po~'r, OF deeds OF arms,
Nv Muse an inclination feels
To sing of stays and of high heeis'
For what can more superbiy show
The size and measure of a beau,
Than heels that nobly aid the height,
And stays that keep the body tight!
The heel i, an important part,
Especially when rais'd by art:
And Whist is dress but mere jest,
If you neglect the taper waist!
Achilles heel, dipt in he wave,
Could every wound and danger brave,
But The high-heel, well fortified
With iron. wood. and Crispin pride,
Con need no dipping in ihe sea,
To keer he foot from danger free.
The stately nuskin could adcrn
The tragic step. in dramas morn;
Bu, the high-heel OF modern day
At once can grace and might display.
Who then ,ha. feels ambitions FIRE,
Would not applaud the heau's desire,
To court the graces Of the fair,
On heels th,traise him up in air
The stavs for beaux are likewise 1t,
For they may prove the cause of wit;
And when the case oil brains is narrow,
They serve to guard the spinal marrow;
Besides, they keep the dutt'ring heart
From being slain By cupid's dart
And, what is pleasing to the sight,
A crooked form they render straight.
In short, they lenda grace and air
To captivate the yielding fair,
And such resistless charms bestow
As swell the triumphs OF beau.--
But though had Apollo's Tyre,
A syren's voice, seIaph's.fre,
| could no; all the giories sing
Which whale-bene stays and high-heel
bring;
Nv Muse must then her song give Ger,
And dare such lofty strains no more.

BEAUTIFUL COMPARISON.

BEAUTIFUL cOAPARISoN.
We have reason to believe that the OBJ
iects contained in the Natural World, cor
respond to, or are representative OF, the
offsets contained in the Spiritual World,
agreeably to the declaration Of St. Paul /:
"The invisible things Of Him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things thatsare
made" The Sun we will suppose to
correspond with the Deity, because as
the light and the heat which proceed
from the former, witty and fructify all
the objects Of animated nature, so do the
light Of Divine Truth, and heat Of Divine
Love which proceed from the Lord, Wv
ify and tructify all the spiritual princi-
pies in man.-Day corresponds TO a
state OF illumination.-Night CORES
ponds to state Of spiritual darkness
Now, as the mutations which the inhabi.
tants of the earth experience from light
to darkness, are not to be ascribed to
any change in the Sun, who is immove.
ably fixed, but to a change in our opn
positions, arising from the Earth moving
on its axis, SO is the mutation OF our
souls from a state Of illumination to a
state of darkness, from state Of good
to a state of evil, fromla state Of acceP.
lance to a state Of rejection, not to be
attributed Ito any change on the part Of
God towards US, but to 4 change in our
oun states, arising from the abuse Of that
power, with which I'VE are all invested,
either of turning ourselves to the Lord,
or Of averting ourselves from Him.

dered the five Russian sailors to work, a.
busing them and threatening TO sabre them
in case of disobedience. Relying upon
the courage of my five sailors, with whom
had beforehand concerted measures
for liberating the ship and cargo, in case
an opportunity presented itself tor 81
dong, carried this plan INTO execution
at the risk of my life, on the 9Th OF July,
in view Of The Berlingmas, in the follow
ing manner:
About IL O'Clock in the forenoon, while
was in the cabin with the commander
Of the prize, where he was employed III
pointing chart which was lying before
him on the table, he demanded glass
OF brandy from me, which ordered a
Russian serving as cabin boy to bring to
him and while | called TO him to do this
| showed him AZ the same time an axe
standing in a corner, and told him he
might split the Turks skull from be-
hind his back, when he was busy along
with me looking over the Chart. AS l
turned the examination to the entrance
Of the harbor Of AIgiers, the situation Of
which compelled the Turk to turn his
back more than before to the cabin boy,
the latter gave him blow which stretch
ed him dead at eur feet, without the least
sound coming from him.
We Immediately seized his pistols and
his sabre, with which we first killed the
two guards at the upper door Of the ca
bin. with whose arms we now, supported
by the four sailors who were on deck, at
tackled the other Turks. After the strug-
gle OF an hour, they lail lost their lives.
with the exception Of one man, who roar
ing out I" Christians' sprung into the sea
and was drowned. As we tumbled the o.
theirs who lay stretched on the deck, into
the ses, one OF them, still alive, held fast
to z rope, but sailor hacked off his hand,
and he disappeared in the waves.
The vessel was all over covered with
blood, and esteemed myself fortunate,
that on an occasion in which my sailors
were exposed to the danger from which
we wereiso Providen'ially saved, the on
ly blood which flowed was my own. l
was eighty wounded on the head, the
right hand and left hip. OF the property
Of the Turks VIC retained nothing but their
arms, as the dread Of a severe quaran-
tine induced me to throw their bodies,
with their clothes, into the sea.
The investigation took place on the
18th July, and the declaration of the Cap
tain was confirmed by oath By the five
sailors.

as he found no Turkish pass, or frman,
