ANpitAIIoNS W 0HEAT MIND
10 set out in the world with no other
principle than a crafty intention to in
terest, betosens one who is destined for
creeping through the inferior walks Of
life, but to give an early preference to
honor above gain, when they stand in
competition; to despise every advan-
tage which cannot be attained without
dishonest arts; to brook no meannes.,
TO stoop 10 no 6issimulation; are the in
dlcations ofa great mind, the pressges
Of future eminence and distinction in
life. AT the same time his virtuous
sincerity is perfectly consistent with
the most prudent vigilance and caution.
1t IS opposed to cunning, not TO true
wisdom. 1t is not the simplicity of a
weak and imprudent, but the candour
OF an enlarged and noble mind, Of one
who scorns deceit, because he ac-
counts 1t both base and improbable,
and who seeks no disguise because he
needs none 10 hide him.
We are all, more or less, the slaves
OF prejudice, or the creatures Of early
habits and impressions, and however
wiseI y our resolutions may be framed
IN the hour of sober reflection, vet too
often the impulse of the moment will
entirely upset the influence of good
sense snd resscn.

LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP MISSOURI.
We regret TO have TO announce the
total destruction, by fire. OF the splen-
did American frigate Missouri, while
at anchor in this Bay, on Saturday
week. She had the H on. Mr.. Cush-
ing on board. proceedin & to Alexandria
en- route for China. as Minister.
The alarm was first given at eight o.
clock precisely, and was Immediately
followed by such burst of fame from
the engineers store room, as to lead to
the belief that it originated among the
oil and spirits Every exertion was
made to subdue it, and the large pumps
were Instantly put into operation; but
the progress Of the flames was so rapid,
that it became necessary to food the
two magazines, which was done so eff
fectually, that il was not until twenty
minutes after three A. NJ, that any ex-
p!osion took place, and then not to an,
extent to endanger the shipping in the
bay, the nearest Of which had already
been removed by the exertions of the
captain Oh the port. Assistance was
promptly sent from the Malabar, under.
the personal superintendent of Sir
George Sar.orius, and the Locust got
up her steam and ran alongside the
Missouri, with the view Of towing her
into deeper water, or rendering any
other aid; but unfortunately she had
already grounded, rendered it impessi-
BILE to scutile her.
As soon as the fire broke out, the
governor ordered the waterproof gate
to be opened, and proceeded himself
to the wharf, from whence he despatch
ed two engines under charge Of the ar
tillery and sappers; but in spite of the
united efforts of the crew Of the Mis-
souri, and her friendly auxilaries, the
progress Of the flames, which at one
time appeared to be got under, was
such, that at length Capt, Newton was
forced to abandon his ship, after gum
morning council OF his own officers
and those British officers about him,
who unanimously decided there was
no hope of saving Tho ship.
The order was given by Captain
Newton for all to quit the ship, which
was done Immediately by the crew ia
king the water, and receiving the read
assistance of coats sent, in sotieipa-
ton Of the exigency, from the Mslsbar
and from the vessels in tho harbor.
Such was the state of the ship, when
the officers and crew left her, and they
saved nothing but what they had on.
Captain Newton did not quit the ship
until oil had left her, about quarter
past eleven O'Clock. We are hsppy to
add that the officers and crew are be-
l!eved to be saved.
His Excellency the American Min
lister, after securing his papers of i'm
portance, returned to the ship and zeal
ousIy united his exertions to those of
her officers.
The line wall was crowded until q
very late hour with spectators, anxious
ly watching The fate Of the noble ship.
The sight was awfully grand; until the
masts at length fell overheard, the ira
Gerry Of her spars and shroudc standing
out in bright relief sgains. the dark
sky, was beautiful. The whole rock
was as light as day; and probably such
. sight has not been witnessed in the
bay since the confagration of the float
ing batteries in the memorable siege.

DECISION OF THE COURT OF IN
QUlRY ON COM. MACKENZIE'S
CASE

The Eastern papers of yesterday bring
US the decision Of the court Of inquiry in
the case of Commander Mckenzie. The
court enumerates the facts, and then gives
the following opinion:
That a mUtiEy had been organized on
board the United States brig Somers, TO
murder the officers and take possession
of the brig.
That Midshipman Philip Spencer,
Boatswain's Mate, Samuel Cromwell,
and Seaman Elisha Small, were concern.
ed in, aud guilty Of such mutiRy.
That had not the execution taken
place, an attempt would have taken place
10 release the prisoners, murder the Off.
GERS and take command ofthe brig.
That such attempt, had it been made
in the night or during sqall, would, in
the judgment Of the Court, from the
number and character of the crew, the
small size ofIhe brig, and the daily de.
creasing physical strength OF tho officers,
occasioned by almost constant watching
and broken slumbeTs, have been success
full.
That Commander Mckenzie, under
these circumstances, was not bound to
risk the safety Ofhis vessel, and leopard
the lives of the young officers, and the
loyalty Of his crew, in order to secure to
The guilty the forms of trial, and that the
immediate execution Of the prisoners was
demanded by duty and justified by neces-
sity.
The Court are further Of opinion, that
throughout all these painful occurrences,
so we'll calculated to disturb the judg-
ment, and try the energy Of the braVest
and most experienced officer, the con-
duct Of Commander Mckenzie and his
officers, was prudent, calm and firm, and
that he and they honOrably performed
their duty to the service and their cOun-
try.
