other, which was from my friends at
Lyons, and ran thus:

that it is but just we should remember
the adroitness and good faith by which
you have insured our success. IoO are

which you were born; and we have
great pleasure in being able to offer you
the means of eXtricatng yourself from

your gratitude too far, as we can be use
ful TO You without injuring ourselves.
When urged on by our desire of revenge,

you have scarcely expended onethird OF
this sum; the rest is placed at your dis
posal, in the hands Of notary Of this
city, who is ready to deliver it TO you al
any moment. The silks and iewelry,
which served to confirm the credulity OF
silly father, and blind the pride of an
arrogant daughter, you must also consi.

the future happiness of Aurora; hayina
made choice of you, in the hope that we
might never have cause to regret our re-
venge being carried TOO far Should you
desire to enter into any speculation, you
may rely upon the credit, the good will

Hull, Of Newport, X. |. On the first
serious trial of his mettle, he gave proof
of those qualities SO essential to a seaman.
and especially an ollicer--cooness and
courage. His masters ship, commanded
by his master, was Approached by pi-
ra,caI schooner, full of men, lhirsting Tor
spells and for blood. Captain Hull's
quakerism would not allow him to defend
himself or his vessel; bat young Wager
was no Quaker, and determined tina, the
guilt Of his blood should Motif he could
help il, be upon the pirates heads. Az
ter a good deal Of earnest enireaty, and a
little respectable force, he got the good
Captain into the cabin, and accidentally
fastened him in. Z
Taking command of Ihe ship, he made
hasty, but efficient preparations to run
over the Pirate. Huh watched his move
