such as that of the Aurora is sometimes

ton TO the views entertained by cyery

that the OplniOns expressed in will prove
to be substantially correct ; that our diff
ierences with Spain ALL hus be amicably
settled ;aud that the vuliures that in anlIcI-
patton eagerly snuff the tainted yale"
will be disappointed Of lhelr prey.

Cogitatsoos of Uncle Dav id, from the desk
of Peter the Scribe.
Hard times! said Uncle David, as ne en-
tered the parlor, and took his accustomed
seat along side Of the FIRE, hard times, IN
deed, when man can neither make mo-
ney, nor get that which is his own-Here
now isthe month of February over, and the
merchants tell me they cannot obtain mo-
ney to pay me for the produce which
sold them last spring, and which was sold
at a credit Of ninety days. When ! was
young man, the merchants were an honest
plain, set Of men, punctual in their pay
ments, and strict in all their dealings ; the
consequence of which was, that they were
respected, and trusted by the farmers and
mechanics but now they are all changed,
and the farmer is almost afraid to trust his
produce in the hands of merchant, lest
he should fail, aud he should receive
ticket as payment Of his just debts. The
question is not now as il was formerly Is
he punctual man Does he pay his debts
honestly But it IS, how much is ne worth!
What kind of house does he reside in !?
What kind OF carriage does he keep Is
he man of liberali.y which last, | am
sorry TO say, is too often given to men who
squander away their money in parties, and
other triHing amusements, whilst their no.
nest creditors are suffering for want. This
alas, is too frequent in this city. Many
poor and helpless orphan is left destitute,
because these lordlings preferred spending
their money in vain qualifications, to salts
flying the demands of their poor and suf-
fering creditors Thus Are we verging
tow ards the same state, as the dissipated
and licentious inhabitants of the principal
Europ Dean cities, importing all their vices
which are fast overcoming the virtues of
our ancestors. Thus is this great city
changing from an Industrious, thriving,
place, to city, OF dissipation, and a seat
ofvillany and fraui. Many an honest man
becomes the dupe Of vilany, and sees not
his danger, till he sees himself tottering on
the brink of destruction. But what is the
use of complaining, and wasting our time
in fruitless sorrow, which will have no ten.
dency to decrease the evil Let US rather
enieavor to discover the cause, and then
set TO work and apply a remedy, which in
my opinion might be quickly done-Let
each retrench his expenses let him deny
himself those things, which will only
tend to involve him in difficulties. while
they add nothing to his comfort, and he
will soon find, that he will be enabled to
meet bis engagements with promptitude
and punctuality, and therefore will in the
end live much happier life.

wage, in 81 days from Coquimbo, states
that the Patriot and Royal land forces had
remained inactive for long time. The
feet of Patriot vessels that sailed from Val
paraiso to intercept the expedition from
Cadiz to Lima, were not in time. Capt.
P. was Informed by the commander Of the
Bri ish sioop Of war Thyme. that four OF the
transports had got into Lima after touching
at Talcahuana. The feet had directed
their course to Talcahuana first, where
they found the convoy ship, (lhe Isabella
frigate OF "a guns) they cut her out of the
port. after some resistance from he and the
shore, and succeeded in getting her to the
Isle of St. Mary, where they were fitting
her out. One Of the Patriot sloops Of war
had gone to cruise off Lima. Conception
was still in the hands of the Royaists. The
U. S. sloop of war had not returned from
Columbia, N. w. coast.
