1t is becoming a popular opinion, that
Privateering should be abolished by the
laws of Nations; that none but vessels fitted
out at the expense of the Government should
engage in war Admitting war to be Just or
moral, cannot conceive the improprlety OF
permitting every citizen, in his private Ca
pacity, to engage in the defence Of his coun'
try, and the chastisement and injury of his
enemy. The fact that privateering would
increase the belligerent force of country, is
sufficient ground for its allowance. lhc
more violent the contest the sooner the con-
flict ends. A feeble, impotent and undeci-
sive war, IS the most injurious state under
which country can labor. The continua
drain upon the public treasury, the increase
of debt and taxes, the constant fear OF at
tacks from the enemy, impovcrish individu
ais, and paralyze the energies OF the people
But permit privateering, and SO great Will
! be the force of the contcnding nations that Ell
ther one or the other will soon be conquered
or negotiate a peace. / have few doubt
that the system of Prvateering, during on
ten the close of the War, than some are vii
| ling to allow: and until hear more cogen
reasons for its abolition, than such as an
acquainted with, cannot relinquish my ia
vorablc opinion of such mode OF warfare.

Are compelled to resort once more to the
benevolence of the public For aid in their at
tempts to relieve the sufferngs of their fellow

winter has brought many applicants to this
Society for relief, and not a few have been
the AGED, sick, and small chEdrcn. With
rery reduced funds and very limited
number of subscribers, the society have
scarcely means to afford that relief so much
needed, in the extremity of suffering which
so many have endured. Many are the how
els of wretchedness which have been visited
and they have wrung the bitter tears OF
humanity over mseries which could not be
mitigated because there was no garments
to bestow, no warm bedding to offer (; and
many of what are called the "decent poor
have received only small donation, where,
did our means allow it, would be luxury OF
feeling to give; and benevolence of the first
order to give largely. To the public we can

Our Southern papers bring us the melan-
choly intelligence of destructive conhagra-
ton which happened at Alexandria on
Thursday last. About 9 O'Clock in the
morning fire broke out in cabinet ma
ker's shop in central part of the city,
which ragged with such destructive violence
that before its progress could be stopped,
eighty buildings were smoking in ruins, and
their inhabitants turned upon the charity OF
their fellow citizens. The estimate loss OF
property is held at 100000. For more
particular account of this calamity we refer
the reader to an article in another part OF
this paper.
