the Rev. MR. BROWNE AND THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

To the Editor of the Gazette.Sir—Although the public cannot be Supposed to

take much interest in a mattei’ of so little moment.• as the question about the propriety or nip ojr ety o؛

mv refusing to hold intercourse with Mr Davies, un- ٥f old, as a vei-y Thersites in the 0 ام ؛؛؛¿ gh fo d ج

which are n>oreWworthy of notice,8you will perhaps

allow me to submit, in a sei’ies of communication . a exposition of my views regarding tie Mission؛! IV System,؛ and the many serious evil which threaten the Colony from its continuance and extension.—. Whatever delicacy I may have felt, when first com- pulled to enter on the subject is now completely’ one away by the following.spirited declaration of Mr. Da- viesSo far from wishing witli Mr. Browne, that his reasons, such as they are, for not answering my? let- ter, were kept privates feeling the disclosure ofthem at all painful--I a tn glad that it gives me an opportu- nity of disavowing the sentiments with which he charges me.” He is conscious) i teems, not only of liis periCt innocence in respect to these “ charges,” but also of his ability satisfactorily to rebut then^; and, therefore I need be unde؛- no apprehension that tlie ces, to him, will be either painful or injurious. On this understanding I sliall Jiroceed to tie discussion: but fil’st let me assure him, that the mere “ disavowal’؛ of the imputed sentiments will scarcely suffice, since the topics o؟ argument, and even many^ oftlie expres. siohs which lie used upon the occasion alluded to, are so distinctly impressed on my mind, tliat i sliottld l ave no scruple in niaking affidavit to some of them, and since tlie greater part of tlie conversation tool، j lace in the presence of three gentlemen, twd oftliem now in the colony, who may probably be btouglit to recol- lect something of hat Was advanced by each of the parties. As it is offacts I speak—of something which was distinctly uttereil, in my hearing, at a particular tine and place, where there were persons ( resent to witness our nieeting and Jiarting at least,—the plausi- ble tilings which Mr. Davies lias mentioned, to shew the improbability of his having entertained, and conse. quently expressed such sentiments, will avail him but little. I liave known tlie same sort of reasoning em- ployed by otlier great men in Demerara, but I ennot allow that it is conclusive. I ١ ill not shrink from what I have asserted; and, should it become necessary, my statement will lie supported by tlie testimony of، gen- tieman who hus given me permission to mention his name, and to say, that Mr. Davies once deliver«! very siinilai- sentiments in a conversation with himself.

In reply to what he is pleased to call my “ first rea- son” for not answering his letter but whiC is in feet a part of my second, Mr. Davies acquaints US tliat he “ accounts it the highest honour to be connected with Missionai-ies and Missionary Societies.” Had he used such terms as. Ministers of Religion and Societies of Christi ns, instead of“ Missionaries and Missionary So- cieties,” I should liave given Ilim full credit for so be- coming a declaration but as it is, I must take leave to qualify or witlihold my approbation. At a time when this valuable Colony is shaken to its centre, in conse- quehce of the mischievous doctrines promulgated by at least one of the' “ Protestant Missionaries” ؛when the effects of tliat “ deadly poison” every where meet the eye and afflict the heart—when the foangled corpses I these deluded beings, who were once the flower of that Missionary’s congregation lie stationed along the coast, or hang suspended in til؟ ai؟—when dozens of misgui ded negoes are languishing in a prison bewailing their folly in having listened to a deceiver, and,, at every de- cline Of day, trernbljg for their fate-it is too much, methinks,- even for Mr. Davies to vaunt the name of Missionaryا—But “an enlightened public,” he says, “ will not for a moment consider him responsible or the conduct of any individuals belonging to tliat class, who may be accused of dil’eliction of duty.” True) no candid or impartial person will consider him r'espon- sible for the actions of another; but, is it decent, at such a moment as this, to cry up the Missionaries, as a class of men peculiarly entitled to respect from the com- rnunity? Will it be denied that, prior to his departure for Europe؟ our three Protestant Missionaries appeared to be on friendly termsthat the؛ occasionally associ- ated and acted together—that Messrs. Elliott and Smith were honoured with a share of Mr. Davies’ cor- respondence, during his absence—tliat to the great in- fluence of the latter ,with his Majesty’s government, was attributed that store of good tilings procured for, liut unjustly withheld fi’om the negroes-tbat Mr. Smith visited Ml’. Elliott and preached in liis Chapel, only a few days liefore the breaking out of tlie fatal insur- rection—and, finally, that al'ter its commencement and suppression, tliese two Missionaries were found toge- ther at tlie Colony House, writing despatclies for home? These questions Mr. Davies will very probably call ٠' implications made regarding him 1'5 lut I will ho- nestly tell him, they are points which require most par- ticular explanation; and until tliey are explained it would seem advisable not to draw too largely on the forbearance of the public. That public, as fai back as the end of 1815, was warned to beware of danger fi’om tliis quarter, and well had it been for the Inhabitants at large, if the warning had been duly attended to. The words of His Honour,, j. c. Jennyns (tlien Second Fiscal), in his first letter “ to the United Society of Merchants and Plantei’s,” are so remarkable that I shall take the liberty to quote thein. “Let it be remember- ed, too, tiiat a severe lesson is contained in an ever memorable event, which stands recorded as a warning, that those insurgents neuer conceived OY THiMBWiEs the desire, or the possibility, of throwing ojf a mild, legitimate authority,—but that by threats, and even by tortures, they mere dren into a rebellion— fomented, projected, and organized in France. It beccmes, then, a uiise and ne.- cessary policy to keep a jealous and watchful eye on the' movements of the Missionaries. They should at least be called upon to offer some guarantee of their good

j intentions. Their pretensions to the public esteein and .confidence should be clear and unequivocal.. I am ؛

A general meeting of the proprietors, Ac. of Nor'th Naparima in Trinidad, lias been lately held at the liouse of the Commandant of tliat quarter-RoBERT Mit- CHELL, Esq., from whicli have emanated tlie subjoined Resolutions.tliey are put fortli, and the narrow, and pointed com- ؛ and the late events upon this Continent, he expresses

pass into which they are compressed, are not surpassed himself thus:—“We owe it therefore to candour, andto the amicable relations existing lietween the United j

have fallen under our notice. “States and those Powers, to declare, that we should إ

\ consider any attempt on their part, to extend their“ إsystem to any portion of tliis hemispliere, as dang¿-* ا

rous to our peace and safety”•,—-and as “the manifest إ

tatioft of art unfriendly disposition.”We will give the whole of the Message in our next.

by any others, having the same relation, which, in the course of our readin؛The Naparima gentlemen have discussed the question ؛ as it deserves, and the spirit of independence they have ؛ displayed, is highly creditable to themselves, and, in the end, we are convinced, will be highly beneficial to the cause.

1. Resolved, That to deprive the master of the power of inflicting corporal cha-stisement, on male or female slaves; is virtually a deprivation of property ; as it is notorious in the West India Colonies, generally, that whipping is the mode resorted to, for the punishment of crimes, which in ؛ lEnropean countries, would affect the life of the offender. But the undersigned inhabitants of this quarter cannot but lament that Earl Bathurst, by a Royal Order in Council, promulgated on the 22d of January last, should have sanc­tioned the infliction of Forty Stripes on the Free Popula- ؛ tion of this colony, for “ petty offences,” while for a similar

• z offence committed by a Slave, his Lordship’s feeling and i compassion are excited in a considerable degree.

2. Resolved, That the negroes of this quarter have al­ways attended Divine Worship at the Church of San Fer­nando, w’henever disposed so to do ; and, as nearly the whole of the negro population in this quarter is of the Catholic Faith, it is, intheopinionofthe undersigned inhabitants, un، necessary to provide any other place of worship than the one already resorted to for so many years; and wliich, from its local situation, is well adapted for that purpose.

3. Resolved, That to abolish the Sunday Market would be as injurious to the Slave as the Master, and would not tend to promote the cause of religion, but, on the contrary; would engender vice and immorality,

4. Resolved, That to enforce marriages among slaves would, if carried into effect, add the sin of perjury to that of adultery.

5. Resolved, Tliat so soon as negroes understand the nature and obligation of an oath, their evidence may be re­ceived, in a qualified manner, but not against their masters, in criminal cases, nor in one affecting their property.

6. Resolved, That private property has ever been secured to slaves, by their o٦vners; that there can be no objection to foe establishment of ،، Saving Banks,” although no good would result from such a measure, as negroes, in general, prefer being their own bankers, to prevent the necessity that might exist of accounting for the honesty of their dealings.

7. Resolved, rrhat, as every facility is given, in this Co­lony, for the manumission of slaves, no further enactments in tills respect are required.

8. Resolved, That to abolish the sale of slaves, as a chat­tie interest, independent of the effect it may have on pri­vate property, ٦١ ould be attended with more disadvantage to the slave than to the proprietor, as it might for ever subject the former to the cultivation of a barren soil, or doom him to serve a master which he dislikes : tlie latter circumstance is uniformly avoided, by the humane practice of allowing slaves to change their owners at pleasure, ١vhen they have good grounds so to do.

9. Resolved, That to require witnesses at the punishment of a slave for trivial offences, ■would not only be an aggra­vation of his punishment, but ١vould, by the publicity of the measure, add to the sufferings of the offender; and con­sequently it ought not to be resorted to, except for crimes of a more serious nature.

10. Resolved, That the negroes in this Island are well fed, ibell clothed, have medical and surgical aid, and are, by the existing regulations, sufficiently protected; and we sin­cerely believe the same to be the case in the other British Colonies ; and the portion of labour required of them, even

: in crop time, is far inferior to that bestowed by husband­men, during harvest:؛ in Europe or in other countries; and any attempt to instil into their minds religious instruction, or education, beyond what they now possess (so long as slaves are property), would not in the opinion of the un­dersigned inhabitants, tend to render their situation more pleasant, but be, in fact, incompatible with the existence of slavery.

Resolved lastly, That the foregoing Resolutions are the free and unbiassed opinions of the undersigned inliabitants.

The following letter, from the pen of the Wesleyan Missionary Mortier, in this Colony, addressed to a brother preacher in Antigua, has made, its appearance in one of the papers of that Island, and as the relation of circumstances which it contains, are such as reflect to the honour of the writer, ١٦ e have no hesitation in giving it a place in our columns،

VIE The fo owing is an extract from it ,directly in point. “From your Honor’s precautions to the respect؛ ' ^ble gentlemen 'vhom you address, it appears t at you are totally unacquainted with the doctrines and princi- pies which we inculcate, w therefore, as individuals, feel t our du to state, that we conceive our preten sions to the public esteem and confidence clear and un- equivocal; and that our good intentions are guar ante- ed by' our conduct dur n the number of years we have resided in the Colony the doctrines and, precepts yve have taught-the favourable change .produced in the morals of many of our hearers—the satisfaction express- ed by many respectable people who have attended our ministry-and by the testimony of those ho have seen the good effect؛ of our instructions And these. Sir, have liitlierto been considered a sufficient guarantee fol' our good intentions by' theii' Excellencies the Go، vernors, the Magistrates, and tlie respectable inhabitants by wliom we are patronised.”

Before I conclude tlie present communication, I beg to add my testimony to the general good conduct of the Slave population, and .to express it as my firm and decided con viction, til at tlie unhappy Negroes who joined in the late revolt, ' would ne er of themsele have conceived the desire, or the p ssibilitv of throwing off tlie mild and legitimate authority” of their Masters-^- mild, because no ؟instance of hardship, ar less of cruel؛ t ha yet been alleged as the cause of discontent ; and eitimite, because tie Mater's claim to the obedience, tlie tespe t, arid tlie service of the Slave is derived front the law df the land, nay, is strengthened and supported by every precept and by eyery doctrine of the Gospel: When i think Of the delusion "’hicli has been practised on these poor ci'eatures, and the depth of nsery into which they have been plunged, I MUST and I DO PITY THEM from the bottom of my heart. They have literally “ perished for lack of knowledge 1.” Well ؛nay the guilt author, or authors, o'f their ifesery exclaife-“ L I

- mit o all the restraints of prudent government -con- tent with tlieir situation—and ready to perform evei'v sort of service tliat can be reasonably expected of them. Unless interfered with, and goaded on to mischief, they will not attempt to dispute, fer less resist the commands of tlieir superiors. B'ut withal they are ,simple, sensi- tive, and, 'by those whom they respect, easily persuaded, i In behalf o'f Sucli people I shall ever lift a beseecliing voice,"and implore of tliose who are placedin situations of trust arid titithority over US, to take effectual steps for securing to tliem salutary religious instruction, and at tile same time pteventing the introduction of false and seductive teachei's. In advocating their cause ,and taking tllis view ofthe subject, I shall perhaps incur the displeasure of Ml'.

'the JAMAICA JOURNAL هـ ألال JR HIBBERT.

Mr. Hibbert is so divided between his duty'as Island -Agent, liis mercantile feelings,, and his resject to tlie Met India Gommittee, tliat the purport of one letter is almost always contradicted by the one that succeeds it. Tlie last communication of Mr.- Hibbert, .which we liad occasion to speak of, was filled with the acts of the ؛ gentlemen “ who represent the colonial interest-.” Their ؛ opinions were stated to US in he most pompous plna- geology; they were represented to ha e held confe- rences with Ministers to decide on our fate, to have a- greed vrith Lords Bathurst and Liverpool tliat the local legislatures were to be invited to adopt certain regula- tions, their resistance to wliich, sliould they, contrary to all expectati'on, venture on resistance, was to be pro- nounced contumacious. Mr. Hibbert urged to his con- stituents, witli somewhat indecent pertinacity, the ne- cessity of resoi'ting to measures "'liich might '' reconcile to Parliament flic taking the work (oj■ Emancipation) out of their hands." Tliat is to say, he endeavoured to persuade tile Legislature of Jamaica t.hat they could not do better than adopt the innovations mutually as- sented to by the King's Ministers and tlie West India Committee of noblemen and gentlemen.

But. me, that puts so many things to riglits, had brouglit tlie sitting of Parliament nearly to a close, and Ministers began to reflect on the indiscreet concessions they had made to the clamour of the fanatics, and the tensors of the West India Committee. Being no longer in dread of coming in immediate contact with tlie brew- ersol'porter and philanthropy, and beginning, to re- cover their usual contempt for the petitions of tlie good people of England, who ؟re great beggars, for cheap bread, clieap beer, and a cheap reputation for hum.ani- tyliis Majesty’s government 'nought proper to take a ■ more statesm n 1 ke view of tlie !Vest India picture. They had examined the scene till',-ugh the magnifying and distorting glasses of Wilberforce tlie pharisee, and Buxton tlie p ill can; they had taken a glinpse through the yellow optics of the feast Ind a traders; they had even consented to see with tlie eyes of tlie prejudiced, tlie ignorant and misjudging crowd, felt at last they have resolvedto confide in the clear irision of justice and policy.

Mr. Hibbert being maile. acquainted ivith tlie final resolutions .of Ministers, has considerably changed liis tone of complaisance for tlie recommendation of the “ noblemen andgentl:^!! intorestedin the Coloni^.’ ؛ أ

quences of “ contumacious resistance,” that he tells US ؛ very plainly these noblemen and gentlemen have by ! their proceedings led the British pulilic to suppose tliat they are parties in “ a qualified preparation fol' emanci- pation*”

We xt act tie passage alluded to :،، It lias been the ،)pinion 0؛ many of the principal pro، إ

prietors of colonial property, tliat we were in policy bound ! to acquiesce up to a certaindegree, in what is termed ameli- ا

h٦ been * ٥٥؟؛ ؛٠ Fari؟:؛nt,٠is, I fear, unde cod as a ■ qualified pardon for emancipation.”

It is quite iinpossible that Mr. Hibbert could ha found astronger argument, against listening to the West ؛

. India Committee, than this- simple admission tliat their labours have ended in inducing a belief that they had abandoned tlieir opposition to the grand aim of their enemies, and that they themselves were prepairing for the manumission of tlieir slaves and the disorganization of their properties. We have heard of the inhabitants of a captured town being Compelled to pull. do١vn their fortifications, but we have never y'et heard of a strong and powerful city being dismantled by its citizens, and deprived of all means of defence at the fest rumour of an٠ invasion by a savage and plundering foe. Our wise brother colonists (or colonial proprietors) have, how- ever, acted almost as foolishly; they have yielded so much that the fanatics already think their object ac- complished: and that the British Milliters ؟re terrifi-

٠ ،id, and refuse to accept of their surrender. In readi ng

the following extract it will be remarked that of al the regulations which our ftgent informed US had been a- greed on by the Ministry and West. India Committee fis proper to be proposed to tlie local legislatures, and which were in fact forwarded some time since to this island, those of the least real importance are to be laid aside for the present, or modified at the pleasure of the legislatures¿ This is one proof of the anxiety of Minis¿ ters on this difficult and dangerous subject*, and it evin- ces the reluctance with which they are impelled forward into a lab nth, which they know to be dark and full of pit-lhlls:

I need not repeat to you what his Lordship told US would be the purport of his recommendations, til rough tlie medium of the respective Governors, to the Colonial Legis- „ lures, as you will have them doubtless very soon so com- fer in opinion with his lljesty, from

immediate expediency of some of tlie measures proposed, fatal malady, and as to their detail, such as the prohibition of sales of negroes ■under •writs of الم Dewlitioni exponas؛” the disconlinwm.ee 0٠f Sunday markets; tile admission. ي Slaves as evidence‘, *Wire seemed to lie no doubt in liis Lordship’s mind, and he was perfectly aware tliat there were difficulties in tlie way of these measures, which might either render it reasonable that tliey sliould be delayed, or that tliey should lie carried into execution with modifications which each might demand in our different Colonies.”

But the indecision, or perhaps we might say, the re¿ pentance ol' Ministers is yet better exemplified in the iri- structions they have sent out to the Governors of the conquered colonies, not yet favoured with representa- tive assemblies. Lord Batliurst informed Mr. Hibbert that "Hehad, even there, strongly recoinmended only and not enjoined. He wished in Demerara for instance, that wliateverwas done should appeal' to be the volun tary act of tlie ‘ Court of Policy,’ and in those'colonies, which he Cabinet had the power of commanding on ail sucli suhjects, he should very reluctantly use the term injunction. Several reflections will strike you re- specting this part of liis Lordship’s commu.nication, which are too obvious to need any suggestion.’*

This soft and gentle mode of proceeding -in place¿ where Ministers are accustomed to command, sufficient'- ly shews that our apprehension of danger to the exist ence ofthe colonies is not Confined to ourselves. They (the Ministers) are equally alarmed, and they shudder at th responsibility in which they will ifivo e th؛m٠

any act ol' theirs. They know the value of million¿ of revenue, of a million of industrious subjects and cons'll- mers ; and they can see also tlie folly of tern؛)ting tliem to thi'ow their weight into the scale of some rival na- tiori. Religious persecution dr-ove .the Mooi's fi'om .Spain, fi'om which cruelty and impolicy Spain lias never recovered. Tlie same bigotry caused many Flemings to take shelter in England, where they introduced or brought to perfection, the woollen manufacture, long the staple of tliat kingdom. Tlie revocation of the edict of Nantes expelled from France two liundred thousand families, who settled in Great Britain and the Netliei'- land's, enricliing them with their Wealth and theii' la- bour. These eflects of religious bigotry are never named by liistoi'ians but with astonishment at tlieiri' impolicy, and detestation at their barbariy. Tlie King’s Minis- tei's are unwilling to have tile page of history, in which they must figure, blotted with a novel kind of pei'secu- ti n. They are doubtfill, if posterity will bestow the feme of humanity and piety on persons who liave in- scribed their claims in chai'acters of blood. But with nil this sensibility to the .madness of sudden innovation, otir Ministers are forced to tenrfporize, they may even be forced to yield, should our cause be left in their hands, in West India Gommittees, or we in Jamaica neglect to assume the high tone of an injured, an in- suited and resolute people.

There is anotlier reason, fol', tlie moderation of the King’s government, which must not for an instant be lost siglit ofi They cautiously avoid every tiling tliat can be construed into a pledge of'compensation in the two pi'obable event of innovation leading to loss Ol' de- struction of property. If the colonies are to be ririined, they will be tlie immediate instruments, if they can help it, liecause they know the claims which we shall, then have on the justice of Parliament; and the inability of the empii'e, which will then be dismembered, to meet tliem. Were Ministers convinced that the measures tending to emancipation were safe and easy, wily have tliey not tried tliem long since on the government slaves in tlie conquered colonies; and why do they not begin now on some of the smaller colonies, entirelub- ject to their contri'oul? Surely, in ah experiment of this kind, by all admitted to be hazardous, it were most prudent to attempt it on 10 Or 20,000 people, who are to be found perfectly isolated, than at once to try it on the whole nation (if we may so speak) of near a million ? If tile King’s government do in the end, call on us to submit to obnoxious plans, let US invite them to con- fine their novelties to places wliei'e the miscliief will be least extensive, and theii authority least questioned.

Theri'e is one part of Mr. Hibbert’s letter that we are disposed to thailk lriim for. It is for having only dis- tantly alluded to a !'esolution of .the West India stand- ing Committee, whiclri gave thanks to the Colonial Le- gislatures, instead of mentioning in the body of his let- ter the Contents of the said resolutions. We like the silence of Mr. Hibbert on this matter—his good sense must have told Ilim tliat the thanks of the West In.dia merchants and planters in London, could not be accept- able to. tlie chosen representatives of the most impor- tant colony lender the British Crown, nor to the Legis- Iative Council, who have theii' high rank conferred on., them in the name of his Majesty. Our readers will be surprised to learn that those noblemen and gentlemen flatter themselves that the l'eport of last session on the distresses of tile Planters, and the address to the King, owed their existence to the mere suggestions of their body. For our parts, we take it upon ourselves to be- lieve that the-report and-the address would have been sent to England, had this illustrious committee altoge-’ ther abstained from intermeddling in our affiiirs. إ

One more observation and we have done with Mr¿ Hibbert for the present—he advises the Jamaica Legis؛ lature to petition the British 'Legislature. He ad ises tliem to complete, by this complaisance, tlieir Subver- sion and tlieir sliame. He advises the'rii to surrender tlie only privilege they poses to shield the colony from

' Frederic, should leave England in the course of the year (10;)but, befori'e he went, two ofthegentlemen engaged as preceptors to tile Heir Apparent, suddenly made known their determination to resign—no spec- fic cause was assigned, but suggestions were afloat; and among them, the fllowiug was generally believed:- that 1 is Majesty (George III.) Wh 1 had been himsel'f very'.closely' confined to his studies, and liad no other re- laxation tlian his pother’s domestic circle? expected the like conduct of his sons—tliinking an early ride in the morning, iind a measui'ed walk after dinner, and in the eFening, sufficient amusements for any' youtli under age. Besides, he was never inclined to show any im- proper indulgence to tile boys; but his consort, on tlie contrary, doated on her sons, and particularly on tlie manly and graceful appeai’ance of the eldest, who had made the. desired pri'ogress in all the pursuits and gen- tlemanly’ acquirements suiting his liigli birth; and was already an object of attraction to many of' tlie ladies of the Gout. With a weakne-s natural to some females, who find their own self-love gi'atified in indulging tlieir fevOrites, the Queen allowed to tlie Prince Of Wales S'ome secret kindnesses, as pei'mitting liiin to reenter the saloon aftei' liis hour of l'etiring, and otliei' similar appliances,which youths well know how to improve

and multiply, by nameless acts of fondness witli which tliey‘ ingratiate tliemselves into the hearts of those al- ready tlieii' own beyond tlie power of a denial. Tllis fatal indulgence led to the introduction of a beautiful ami accomplished female; and love, qi-iick to seize tlie earliest opportunity in young and ai'dent minds, profit- ed of tile 'occasion to cement a friendship between this interesting person rind til؟ Prince.* Ad hppbintffierit was made; .but, restrained as tlie royal pupils then were not to go abi'oad, unaccompanied by' one of tlie gentle- men, they had recourse to" stratagem; in which with hrotheily affection, they assisted each otlier. It being impossible to procure a private interview in the day au houi' was fixed upon when all who were induced, from motives of affection, interest, 01' duty, to watch their conduct, should be at rest -the place fixed upon was a retired spot,, where, habited ill clothes of a green colour, that among the foliilge of the trees they light be least exposed to detection - thei'e, favoured by the

-moon, tlie Heir Apparent had thrice enjoyed the con'- versation of one who was, at tliat time, the most en- gaging pf her sex. His brother acted as sentinel at the entrance of tlie avenue.

This .operat- ed against liis claim to tlie character of a good moral mail, and so rendered the Prince's conduct, as a So- vereign, conscientiously just.

arrival from Trinidad, we have heard of an affair of Ho­nor, which took place there on Wednesday the 3d instant between Fred. Browne, Esq. and P. D.Souper, Esquire, Secretary to Sir Ralph Woodford—and that the latter received a bail, which we understand, has been extracted but with feeble hopes of his recovery.

The Iiomihica ('hronicle, adverting to the establishment of a Bishopric in the West Indies, as lately mentioned, says— Private advices confirm the statement; and one letter says, ، he, the Bishop, and his two Chaplains, are to overhaul the Colonial Parsons, as the former Commissioners have done the West India Judges, and Administrators of the Laws.’ ”

The oddest portion of the equipment of a female Esquimaux is the boots, which come up much higher than any fisherman’s, and are nearly as much in cir­cumference as her body. In fact, these are the most essential parts of the Esquimaux’ dress: they are their pockets, their toolboxes, their provision Cupboards: Hudibrass’ holster was nothing to them. This* will be allowed when we state, that one dav a lady ofthe tribe enamoured of a wash-hand basin, took the liberty of appropriating it secretly to herself; but unluckily for her the theft was dicovered, and she was turned over for search—prohpudor! the basin was found concealed in one of her boots ؛٠

At an eminent Distillery in London, where it was first tried, faints at 81 per cent, under proof, were put into the Still, and the whole charge was brought oft'at 55 per cent, over proof, by Sikes’ Hydrometer, in the usual time.

The landlord being informed of'tilis, soon entered with his horsewhip, and -gave the General a severe chastisement. After tlie Ge- neral was exchanged, and he l'esumed liis command on the island, the inhaliitants of Nantucket deputed Dr. Gilston to negociate so'me concei’ns witli General Pres- cott, in behalf of the town. Prescott treated the Doc- tor very cavalierly, and gave as the cause, tliat tlie Doc- toi' looked So like that d—d landloi'd, wlio horsewhip- peil Ilim in Gonnecticut, that he could not treat him witli civility.

“ Captain Houdin, commonly pronounced Udang, is a Frenchman of singular, manners and cliai'acter, and ludicrous in his personal appearance, being ratliei' tall but slender; liis features are sharp and irregular, com- plexion dai'k, witli small jet black eyes. His long liair is bl'ouglit in a braid to tlie top of his head, whicli is constantly covered with powder; he is never seen witliout his small swoi'd, nor in conversation without a display of vanity and affectation. He convers'es in bl'oken Englisli, with rapid articulation, often pervert- ing words from tlieir legitimate meaning. Di'. Tliomas and Udang have at command an inexhaustible fond o'f merriment and liumour, and Udang once said to tlie Doctor, ‘you can take me off better than I can myself.’ On a return from Boston, in 1780, he related some in.- cidents that occui'red to him, which have frequently been repeated to aid in festive mirth. Some wag know- ing his vanity and affectation of consequence, liad em- ployed a negro wench to make a familiar address to Ilim in some pulilic place. Tliis was a sevei'e motifica- tion, anti desti'oyed all the comforts of his visit. In an- swer to an inquii-y how lie liked Boston, this vexation was uppermost in his mind. ‘ I like Boston very well, all but one d-d madam nig.’ Gn being pressed ftir- ther, lie related tlie particulars with all the action and irritation tliat the reality occasioned. ‘ One gentleman

one very fine'market—de poult, de geese, ebery ting— one very 112 fissortinient —dere it was I liere somebody say beliind. How do you do, Captain Udang? I look round, one black bisli say again* 'making reverence, I hope you be well, Captain Udang. Who lie you speak t me in de market? You forget I was your sweet- h art in ’77. Hol yo tongue you d—d llscal bish.. You speak to me in de mai'ket, when I am wid gentle- men, I cut off your lieatl, I will you rascal wencli.

To these memorable anecdotes of tie revolutionary war, we trust it will not be thought tedious if we add a lore mixed character, and without regard to classifica- tion. Like children we shall pick the currants out of the Doctor’s heavy pudding, and at least spare our pa- tients a fit of indigestion.

“ Soon after my arrival here, (at Skeensbury, quoth our author,) a soldier had the imoudence to seize a rat- tiesnake by its tail; the reptile threw its lieatl back, and struck its fai'igs into tlie man’s hand. In a few moments a swelling commenced, attended by severe pain. It was not more than half an hour, when his whole arm, to 11 is shoulder, was swollen to twice its natural size, and tlie ski؛! became of a deep 01’ange colour. His body, on one side, soon became affected in a similar manner, and a nail ea at his sto'macli ensued. The pool' man was greatly and justly alarmed; his situation was vei'y criti- 'cal. Two medical men, beside myself, were in close at- tendance fol' sevei'al hours.” ! !۴e are not surprised at his alarm ; but olive oil sa- .._ , ٠٠٠„.٠ ________ ٠٠٠٠٠٥.„-„ -, ______ ......
