The Executive of the =. States it
appears has extended pardon to the
several OF the tersoDs lately convicted
Of the crime Of Piracy and sentenced to
suffer death in some of the sea ports of
our country, and suspended the execu-
ton Of others. 1t is to be presumed
that some causes for this proceeding,
not known to the public, must have in.
fuenced the President, or it could
scarcely have been supposed that the
clenency OF Government would have
been extended to thosc who had evil
denced, by their atfecious acts, their
Independence OF the ordinary feelings
of humanity, and their barbarous hos
tilily to the natural, social and civil
rights Of all mankind. Justice and
mercy to the community would seem to
require, that those who had Wantonly
Waged nurderous war upon society,
should be cat off from all its priyilee es
and consigned over to the mercy Of
Him who seems to Lave an exclusive
authority TO exlead mercy and lurgiye.

Complaints thicken upon US respecting
tAe quantity OF Nested Cotton shipped from
/ this market. Since our last, several indivi-
duals have spoken to US upon the subject,
aud one or two have named persons as sus-
! pec;ed of being guilty OF this practice We
wish the facts could be substanliated in a
court OF justice, we should feel very little re-
lmctaDce lie giving their names to the public.
1t is an enormous sin. Cotton is becoming
a most important article in the commerce Of
Petersturgh, and to have our fair name blast
ed abroad, by a set OF miscreants, is unpar-
donable. The lrrits must be ferretcd out,
and punished.
We have been informed of curious cir
culnstance in relation to bale of nested cot.
ton, some time ago. A merchant oil this town
purchased parcel of cotton from an iDdi-
yiGual. and shipped it to Europa. Upon its
arrival at lis destined port, the European
purchaser, upon opening one of the bales,
found il nestled with large rock. The rock
was returned to the Petersburgh merchant,
with the marks and numbers of the particu-
lar bale of cotton in which il had been de-
posted. Fhe Petersburg merchant knew
from whom he had purchased the cotton, and
carefully preserved the rock, with the inten-
tom OF returning it, in due time, toits right
full owner. An opportunity soon occurred:
I ne man who thus nestled the cotton, want
ed barrel of sugar; with the sugar, the
merchant packed up the same rock, and sent
II back again to the person who originally
practised the fraud. The rock was literally
pocketed-no complaint having eyeE been
made against this equitable MODE Of admi-
nistering justice.
sance writing the above, correspondent
has suggested to Us the propriety OF recon-
mesding to the merchants and citizens gen.

Of light. that from thine eye-lids beam,
Soft tell-tales of the melting heart;

Half peeping from its arched sphere
But 0 when pity gems the tear,
Who could resist the drop so clear,
That beauty's silkenlids dispart.
And what's sweetness but thy smile,
With innocence the dimpling guile,
That won my willing heart to thee ?
'Tis bright as Sol when morning throws
Her bushes on the summer rose:
But O when love its rays disclose,
And the yourg bud of feeling CLOVIS,
