ed and. at the instigaton Of a few religious
fanatics, who had complained Of Pertival's
conduct towards tho Missionaries whilst at tho
Sandwich Islands. this suit or rather prosocu-
tion was Commenced, and the presses Of the
fanatics, with an oagerness not well 10 be ac-
counted, for. opened their batteries upon the
arrasned, and s,rove to prejudice the mind of
the public against the. wronged. and insulted
accused. The investigation has resulted TO
the honor Of this gallant and meri.orious OIL
GER, and defeated the infamous designs of his
unprincipled enemies.
The whole trial goes in no small dc gree. to
establish the reputation Of Mr.. Percval; and
proves, that whilst on the south sea station. Ee
was ofincalculablo benefit to our commerce in
those seas; was ever active to promote the VOL
fare Of such Of nis countrymcn, as visited those
remote regions Such an officer should have
redress for the shameless abuses that have
been heaped upon him, particularly by the Mis-
sionares, ,who complained loudly and vehc-
men,ly. because he would not suaer them, 10
take command the crow of his ship, and
breed among them dsquietuds and dissensions;
and because lie repellcd their attempts to in-
terfere in matters, which did not at all concern
them. r.I..|
Daring the pendcncy Of this trial, Lieutenant
Percval, was under an arrest, ordered by the
Navy Department, on charges and representa-
,ons, made by the Missionaries; and ii is prob
able, that he will be released from the arrest
after the fortunate result Of this trial has been
made known to the proper officer. This we
hope, will not be the case for, the interest we
take in the well being Of this gallant officer,
induces us TO hope, that he will pass the ordeal
ola Court Martial; and, fully d;sproving the ac-
cusations of his prose ecutors. as we have not a
doubt he will teach them, that it is vain that
they have attempted to destroy u gallant Off
Ger, whose greatest fault, consists in his worth
and numerous virtues.

DANCING There is mach good sense, and
just remark, in the following article, relative
to tho polite amusement of Dancing.
Dancing. The Virginia Visitor contains
a Communication under the classical SIGNATURE
f"Achrouon,' denouncing the a,nuseinent of
dancing. There are strange distinctions mad.
in this world between dilerent kinds of eset-
else. No ono, we believe, has as yet discov-
cred any immortality in skating or running for
exercise, but as the age becomes more refined,
we shall probably have moral laws passed
against these amusements also. Is there apv
immortality in a mans jumping overa fence
twenty times, pour passcr ie tems--we pre-
some not; take away the fence then, and let
a man jump away as much as before: is this
wicked! Are tl!c muscles unprincipled and
the feet in,moraIi No. Let this motion be
performed with ease and gracc--do they rem
der wicked what was before innocent!
Bat then the fiddle what, can be said in
apology for tho fiddler To lie sure there is
nothing unpr;ncipled in the fine flowing manc
OF noble steed, but pluck the hairs from that
name and weave them into strings for the fd-
dc bow, and 10! they become Instruments Of
evil, The case then appears 10 stand thus n
man may hop, skip jump, or run, without mu-
sic, and no harm is done but if he do this

II is passing strange, that there are TO be
found in thi. world thousands who are 80 de-
cidcdly opposed to dancing, that they prescribe
all a, mfdels, and as outeasts, who have
the temerity TO indulge in so innocent,

PROVIDENCE.

|. mr.. CLAY. We are very sorry to learn
fromla letter received from gentleman resid-i
ing in Washington, that tho, hoalth of Mr.
Clay, is not SO good as could be wished. His
illness. such as it is, is very justly ascrbed 10
the onorous duties of his Office, and the con-
slant confinement to which he subjects him
self, notwithstanding tho advice Of his physc-
ans, who haup repeatedly assured him, that
unless he reaxes occasionally, the superstruc-
ture of his constitution will be broken down.
We cannot but hope that the Secretary will adj
here to the advice SO friendly given; and. ABB
staining from intense labor, allow his constitu-
ton time to renovate itself, and resume its
original firmness and strength. gid .e Z
No man, who has held the Office Of Secre-
tary Of State. since the adoption of the consi-
tuition, has had y more arduous task to, per-
form, than Mr. Clay. Although he assumed
the station, at time, when its affairs were
left in settled condition, by ITS former distin-
guished incumbent, he has had much to con-
tend against, and its duties have, by reason Of
an unparalleled opposition Of the Senate been
vastly augmented; andthe unfortunate condi-
ton of our colonial relations, produced by the
malice of the faction, and the arrogance of Mr..
Canning have cast upon the Secretary of State,
tenfold the labor, which was experienced by
his predecessors.
Added to the onorous duties of his Office, he
he has had to contend against all the un-
princpled designs OF foreign and domestic enc
mics, and that bed, which should have been
made Of roses, has been made Of fthorns. Pur-
sued by the blood hounds Of the faction, and
assailed at every point; vilcly and scandalous-
ly traduced wronged IN his hearts best inter-
est, and illuminated as the Secretary has been
it is not strange, if his health, has experienced
| the poisonous shafts of disease, produced by
| the cold ingratit ude of few Of his country
men, who would gladly cut him of from exist
ence, that they might themselves be enabled
TO carry into execution, the full measure ofthcir
base and unhalowed designs.
Bat though weakened by fatigue, and tho
untiring pursuits Of his enemies, we are glad to
say, that his health IS not so Precarious, as to
induce Il fear. that his slight illness will pros
trate him ;-and we are left to indulge fond
hope, that he will yet remain many years or
this side of the grave, to add to. the greatness
and prosperity of his beloved country.

LIEUTENANT PERcIvAL. 1t rejoiccs us
TO hear, that this heroic and much abused Of
fcer, has had his trial, before the Circuit Court
of the United States, Mr.. Justice Thompson
presiding, and honourably acquitted; indeed
so well satisfied were the jury of his entire in
nocence that they recorded verdict Of not
guilty, in his favour, without leaving their box.
Lieutenant Per cval was arraigncd on an in
dictment. charging him, with having extorted
money from Captain Edwards of the ship L on
don of New York, whilst stationed at the
Sandwich Islands, as onmander the United
States schooner Dolphin. The falsity of the
charge was Gle lrly proved, and from the
evidence adduced, it appoars, that Edwards, is
a man of malicious and impacabe feelings,
and that his enmity to Percval, originated at
tho Sandwich Islands, and has since been cher
isbcd as sweet morscl, and that to revenge
himself. he bnsely attempted to ruin the well
earned reputation Of gallant, and merito-
rious officer.
1t appears from the facts elected by the tri-
Percival the valuable cargo of the London,
consisting Of eighty thousand dollars in specie,
and very considerable amount in merchan-
die, was saved from destruction; Indeed it is
admitted by Edwards, that but for the timely
Interference Of the commander of the Dolphin,
all would have boon lost. To rescue the pro-
perty from the seas, as the Dolphin was then
disman,led, and some sixty miles distant from
the wreck Of the London, Lieutenant Perci-
val, chartered, on his own responsibility, the
brig Covoy Of Boston, then lying at Wahoo.
and proceeded TO the wreck-took from her her
cargo, and for the uso of the vessel, promise
the commander, one hundred dollars per day.
and rendered hmselfliablc TO the commander Of
the Convoy for the payment of the charter
party, on a full conviction ard belief that the
commander Of the London, Captain Edwards,
would not hesitate TO remunerate him for
tue expense he had been at. ...
After ai things had been secured, and Edwards
was prepared to proceed TO Canton, he called
on board of the Dolphin, for the specie which
was at his disposal; when he was required to
liquidatc the claims of the Captain of the Con-
voy; and on HE refusal, Lieutenant Pereral
detained one aud ahaf pcr cent of the whole
amount of specie, belonging to'the London, as
he had a right 10 do, according TO tho rules of
the naval service, regulating tho terms OF SAL
sage.. Aftcr some acrimonious dispute between
the cou nm lsr Of the D,lpain, and Ed'
wards, tho latter departed for Canton and
from thence to tho United States, and i'm
