store and afloat, 50 Is to IS, have been
the highest sales of late; if it continues

Gently from the U. States, have had
long passages, some of them SO to 40
days, having experienced Gains the
most of the voyage. We are swarming
here with the Independent privateers {;
they are to be seen almost every hour
in the day; the trade between this and
Laguira has been completely cut up by
them; nearly all the regular traders
have been captured. The last prizes
we have l.eard of their taking, were
two Spanish Guineamen, from the coast
of Africa, with about $50 slaves; these
vessels have been sent to Margaritta !;
for the poor slaves, it will be /" out of
the frying pan into the fire. There
are ten vessels missing, that were
bound here from Laguira, which are
supposed to have fallen into their hands,
the cargoes of which were very va!ua-
bic.
1t APPEARS that neither the united eff.
forts of England nor America, can put
a stop to the inhuman traffic of slavery.
1t was understood the u. S. had sta
toned one or two vessels to crujZe be-
this, Porto Rico and the Havana, with
a view to intercept slave vessels, but
they have been already withdrawn, for
what reason we are at a loss to coDiec-
ture. The British cruizers in this di.
rection are half their time in port, so

In sparkling ofhe taie ian,enied President Bromn
Of Dartmouth College, pto ,eas rensoued from a
tocn in is riciaiiy the high Stallion which he
occupied at his death. 10Th so much credit 10 himself
| and usefulness 10 The eolees,a ". II paper has he
foiioeug remarks
The character of PRESIDENT BaowN is too
| we'll established, and too generally known, to be
affected by any thing that we can say. II can
neither be frightened by our praises nor sullied
by our reproaches. All we hope TO do, is TO tes-
tify ia the world, that even in this region where
the worth Of President BRowN is perhaps less
generally known or acknowledged IN an in any
other part of ~ England, there are those who
do appreciate his merits, and who are in some
measure sensible Of their loss.
The station, which FRESHEST BRowN was
destined by Providence to occupy, was pecul-
larry calculated TO call into exercise the powers
Of his mind, aud display to the world the frmness
of his character.
His talents. If not Of the most dazzling, were
of the most elevated kind. If any one could be
called the predom,nating faculty Of his mind, it
was cool discriminating judgment. His pro-
auctions possessed not the destinations Of high
wrought ornament, yet they were always rich.
They indicate a masculine and we'll cultivated
understanding rather than a luxurious fancy. In
science bis views correct and comprehen-
sive to an uncommon degree. Indeed in what
ever situation he was placed, he appeared uni
formly consistent, and uniformly great.
But il j. as a christian that President BRowN
appears in his most engaging attitude. His views
were enlarged and liberal; his piety ardent and
devotional; his charity operative.
To the world the loss is great: to Dartmouth
College we fear irreparable. Though by his
premature departure he may have lost crown
Of mortal glory, he has gone to brighter and far
happier realms the earlier to receive a crown Of
glory unfading and eternal. W.
