From the New-York Gazette of Saturday


Important. yesterday afternoon, the
United States sloop of war Hornet, Capt
Reed, arrived at this port from Cadiz, with
dispatches for government. She sailed Oh
the I'd of this month, and we learn. that
at the time of her departure, the Treaty
agreed upon here between our Government
and Don Louis De Onis, the Spanish Min.
lister at our Court, HAD NOT BEEN
RATIFIED. On the receipt of the dis
patches by the Hornet at Washington, we
shall probably be made acquainted with
the nature Of the delay on the part Of the
King of Spain. Upon the whole, were
we to hazard a conjecture on this import
ant question, judging from existing cir
cumstances, it would be, that there is lit
tie hope of an amicable adjustment with
the government of Spain.
The United States ship of the line
Franklin, Com. Stewart, of IA guns, had
arrived at Cadiz, having on board Mr..
Russell, the American Charge DIES AT
fares at Sweden, on his way home. Mr..
Russell intended to have taken his passage
in the Hornet, but as she was under sail
ing orders she could not wait for him. He
intended to leave Cadiz in the first vessel
for the United States.
Capt. Reid was at Madrid Al days, and
left on the oath Of Juue and we hay G
no doubt will be able, on his arrival a,
Washington, to give some important in.
formation. Capt. r. proceeds this morn.
ing with the dispatches.
Capt. Reid informs that the crops il
Spain were never more abundant.
Abouta week previous to the departure
OF the Hornet, a frigate and six brigs o.
war arrived at Cadiz from Bordeaux, un.
der French colors, and were to join the
squadron fitting out against the Patriots
of South America.
1t was said at Cadiz, that the Grand
Expedition would sail about the first Of
August. There was an army Of 10000
men at Cadiz, ready to embark.
The N. Y. Gazette Of yesterday saws,
" We learn by the arrival of the IT. s
sloop of war Hornet, that the MARQUIS
Yrujo, who had lately been appointed
Minister Of Spain, was in disgrace. The
Marquis aud bis family were seized and
sent to prison on the 2Sth Of June. and i,
was reported that they had been assassi.
mated. Another account says that thew
we're banished to some distant place. /,
was stated, that part of the expedition
fitting out at Cadiz, was destined TO the
Floridas."
Banks. The state Of Pennsylvania q
few years since granted charters 10
batch Of banks, said to be about 40 81
number and they have subsequently
passed an act whereby all banks which do
not pay specie for their notes on the LEI
Of August, will forfeit their charter
It is supposed that nearly all the batch
win thus be out-lawed.

BosToN, July %.

Yankee Tars at their old triGkS.-We
learn that letter is received in town from
Mocha, via Alexandria aud Leghorn,
dated 22d January, stating that the ships
Fawn and O'Cain, Of Boston, Emily, of
Baltimore, and brig Syren, Of Newbury,
were then 10 that port, and That about the
lst of December piratical vessel from
the Gulf OF Persia appeared off the place !;
that the Governor called on, the masters
of the above vessels for assistance in case
the pirates should come 10 and commit
any depredations, stating that the fort was
not strong enough to- defend the place
against her, should any acts of hostility
be committed that the pirate did come
in and took two vessels belonging to the
place, one valued at 100000, and were
towing them out, when the American yes
sells opened fire upon them, leach having
few guns and in about ! 5 minutes one
of the prizes was sunk, the other retaken,
and the pirate captured in sinking con-
ditioh; that the piratical vessel mounted
% guns, and had $50 meG, all of whom
were shackIed with irons, marched into
town and delivered by the Americans to
the Governor. Before the action, the A.
mericans were treated with contempt, and
frequently had dirt thrown upon them as
they passed the streets, but they have since
been treated with great civility and respect.
July q.
United States ship Franklin. Capt.
Edes, from Palermo, informs that the EN-
peror of Austria and the King of Naples,
with several members Of their respective
families, dined on board the u. S. ship
Franklin, Com. Stewart, at Naples, on
the lst of June last. During the visit,
very unfortunate accident happened.
One Of the young Princes, passing about
10 view the equipments of the ship, had
the misfortune to fall down the main hatch
way, and was severely injured.
The u. States squadron passed Paler-
mo the I'd June, for Gibraltar, and the
Franklin came out of the 2lst, leaving
the rest Of the squadron at Gibraltar.
NEw-YoRK, July 90.
The brig PedIar, from Havre, owned
by J. j. Astor & Son, was boarded on
the 9th inst. 10 lat. "a, 20, Ion. 81, by an
armed schooner, (having an armed ship in
company under French colors,) mounting
IA guns, and manned by blacks and mu-
lattoes. They came on board with pis-
tolls, swords, aud long knives, and having
severely beaten the officers and crew, aud
driven them into the forecastle, they con-
menced an indiscriminate plumber OF CLOTH
ing, money, liquors, dry goods, &c. They
broke open most Of the packages on
board, and took away the most valuable
parts Of the cargo. Having been occu-
pied about five hours in taking away and
securing their plumber, they permitted the
brig to proceed on her voyage.
We understand that three OF the Ped
lars crew are suspected Of having been
accessory in this transaction; after it was
over, they were secured 10 irons by Capt.
Vermyle, and they we're on Saturday
committed to prison.
More Piracy.--We learn from a pas.
senger in the brig Arethusa, from New
Orleans, that small piratical row.boat,
full of men, came into the Balize ard
boarded two vessels lying there, and took

SERMON.
Ask, and ye shall receive.

1. Ask. This may be applied as
command, but ii is indeed great privi-
lege. We are commanded, always TO pray,
and with prayer and supplicatiou of the
spirit to make our requests known unto
Gods aud we are permitted, in that form
of prayer which our Lord taught his dis
ciples, to call the great Creator of the
universe our Father The giimmering
light of the dim winking taper, which
sleeps in its socket, is not more exceeded
by the spiendour and glory OF the sun
shining in bis strength, than the brightness
OF the throne, the extent of his dominions,
the power, strength, and majesty Of the
great King Of the universe exceeds the
most exalted prince on earth And, CON
sidering that the Supreme Lord Of heaven
and earth is SO easy OF access, that he
calls upon all to seek his face, how blind
and stupid, how regardless Of their own
best interest, and how cruel to themselves
do those men appear who refuse to ask,
who will not pray.
2. And ye shall receioe. God is ready
at all times TO hear and answer our re-
quests; and shall we, when in distress
and pressed with the most urgent necessi
ty, refuse 10 ask; when we have prom
Use SO sure, ye shall receive? What
presumption, what folly, what madness !!
not even to comply with this reasonable,
this most easy requirement. Ask, only
ask, and ye shall receive. -HanIlton Rec.

DAVIES was perhaps the closest reasoner that eve

THE VANITY OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
WHAT is this KNowLEDGE but the sky-stolen fire
For which the thief still chained in ice doth sit
And which the poor rude satyr did admire,
And needs must kiss, but burnt his lips with it
In fine, what is it but the coach
Which the youth sought, s. sought his death wthal,
Or the boys wings, which, when he did approach
The SUMS hot beams did melt, and let him fall
The wise that Owed most deep and scared most high
Seeking mans powers, have found his weakness
such;
Skill comes so slow, and time SO fast doth Fly,
We learn so little and forget SO much.
For this the wisest of all mortal men
Said, He knew nought but that he did not knozV, %
And the great hooking master mock'd not then,
When he said truth was buried deep below.
As spiders touch'd, seek their webs iRmost part;
As bees in storms, back to their hives return;
As blood in danger, gathers to the heart;
As men seek towns, when foes the country burn,
II aught can teach us aught, Affections looks
Making us pry into ourselves so near,)
Teach us to know ourselves beyond all books,
Or all the learned schools that ever we're.
She within list my ranging mind has brought,
That now beyond myself l viii not go:
Myself am centre of my cireling thoughts
Only myself study, learn, and know.
know my body's of so frail a kind,
AS force without, fevers within can kill;
l know the heavenly nature of my mind,
But tits corrupted both in wit and will.
know my soul hath power to know all things,
Yet is she blind and ignorant in all
know, Pm one of natures little kings,
Yet to the least and viIest thing am thra.
know my life is pain, and but span;
! know my sense is mock'd in every thing:
And, to conclude, know myself man;
Which is proud, and yet wretcled thing.
