Tha steam ship Robert Fulton, arrived
at Charleston on the 28th May, from n.
Orleans and Havana performing dis
lance of 1900 miles in less than nine days,
including 50 hours detention at the Balize
and Havana. The United States ship
Hornet, capt. Reid, was about to sail for
Pensacola, the requisite arrangements for
it's tranfer to the American authorities
having been made. Previous to the sail
ing of the r. F. letter had been received
at Havana from Vera Cruz, dated May
90, by which it appears the inhabitants of
that place were in great CONSERVATION for
its safety. All vessels arriving there mo
matter of what nation) the crews were
instantly taken from them to man the
forts. Produce of every description very
dull at Vera Cruz.

Havana, died on the Goth May.

Envy, is almost the only vice which is
practicable at all times, and in all places
the only passion which can never be quiet
for want of irritation it's effects, therefore,
are every where discoverable and its at
tempts always to be dreaded 1t is i'm
possible to mention a name, which ad-
vantageous distinction has made eminent.
but some latent animosi y will burst out
The beauty, adorned only with unambi-
tious graces of innocence & modesty, pro-
vokes, whenever she appears, thousand
murmurs of detraction, and whispers of
suspicion. The genius, even when he on
Iy endeavors to entertain with pleasing
images of nature or instruct by uncon-
tested principles of science, yet suffers
persecution from innumerable critics,
whose acrimony is excited merely by the
pain of seeing others pleased, of hearing
applauses which another enjoys. 1t is
above all other vices, inconsistent with
the character Of social being, because it
sacrifices truthand kindness to very weak
temptations He that plumbers wealthy
neighbor, gains as much as he takes away,
and improves his own condition in the
same proportion that he impairs another's
but he that blasts fourishing reputa-
ton, must be content with small divi
dend of additional fame, so small as can
afford very little consolidation, O balance
the guilt by which it is obtained.

When Legislative and executive powers
are united in the same person, or in the
