ss of the sea. The bars off the mouths of the rivers, too, are, for the most part, of mud, where a ship sticks, rather than thumps. Hence, the temerity with which we ran into shallow waters. Sunday, August 18th.—The south-east wind came to us, as softly, and almost as sweetly, this morning, as if it were breathing o'er a bed of violets; but it freshened as the day advanced, in obedience to the mandate of its master, the sun, and we had a fresh breeze, toward nightfall. After passing Post Orange, we ran over another three-fathom bank, the water deepening beyond, and enabling us to haul in toward the coast, as we approached Bram's Point, at the mouth of the Surinam River, off which we anchored, (near the buoy on the bar,) at twenty minutes past five P. M., in four fathoms of water. This being Sunday, as we were running along the coast, we had mustered and inspected the crew, and caused the clerk to read the articles for the better government of the Navy to them—the same old articles

s plotting to take his life, and lay Hillsborough in ashes. Fanning to Tryon, 23 April, 1768. Meantime Tryon, who as the King's Representative, should have joined impartiality with lenity, made himself an open volunteer on the side of Fanning, Governor Tryon to Fanning, 27 April, 1768. and while he advised the Chap. XXXV.} 1768. Sept. people to petition the Provincial Legislature, Governor Tryon's Proclamation. he empowered Fanning to call out the militia of eight counties besides Orange, and suppress insurrections by force. The people of Orange, and equally of Anson, Rowan and Mecklenburg, were unanimous in their resolution to claim relief of the Governor. Flattery was, therefore, mixed with menaces, to allure the Regulators to sign a Petition which Fanning had artfully drafted, Plain and Simple Narration of Facts, 1768. and which rather invoked pardon than demanded redress. Paper offered for Signature at the Council of Regulators, 25 April, 1768. Petition to his

Sept. twinkle that shall be given me; and like the beggar that sends his goods as a present to a rich patron from whose charity he means to extort more than the market price, he demanded nothing, but was now in England to renew his solicitations. The king wished leave to recruit in Holland, and also to obtain of that republic the loan of its so called Scottish brigade, which consisted no longer of Scots, but chiefly of Walloons and deserters. The consent of the house of Orange could easily have been gained; but the dignity, the principles, and the policy of the States General forbade. This is the first attempt of either party to induce Holland to take part in the American war; and its neutrality gave grievous offence in England. Sir Joseph Yorke, at the Hague, was further directed to gain information on the practicability of using the good dispositions of the king's friends upon the continent, and the military force which its princes might be engaged to supply

s-general as embodying the sovereignty of the United Provinces; others attributed sovereignty to each state, and even to the several cities and communes. The republic was further distracted by foreign influence. Some of its public men still lingeringly leaned on England; others longed to recover the independence of the nation by friendship with France. It would have been a happiness for the United Provinces if its stadholder had been true to them. But William the Fifth, of the house of Orange, a young, weak, and incompetent prince, without self-reliance and without nobleness of nature, was haunted by the belief that his own position was obtained and could be preserved only by the influence of Great Britain; and from dynastic selfishness he followed the counsels of that power. Nor was his sense of honor so nice as to save him from asking and accepting pecuniary aid to quiet internal discontent. The chief personal counsellor of the stadholder Chap. XII.} 1778. was his former g

ifying incense arising from the altar of Liberty. We now behold the curtain as it rises in the first act of that dread and portentous drama of freedom's battle against infidel aggression and barbaric violence — a battle to which Virginia, our revered and honored mother, in her serried ranks, now marshalling on the field of war, calls her gallant sons from town and country, from mountain gorge to mountain top, from city and from plain; and gallantly has that call been answered. From gallant Orange to the mountain summit — from Allegheny's peaks to la belle reviere, and from la belle reviere back to Atlantic's foaming surge, the shout is, "Onward to the battle field!"--with uplifted arm, nerved by the God of Justice, to strike the blow which shall shiver into pieces the chain forged by infidel abolitionism to bind and shackle the fair form of Virginia. Virginia, Old Ironsides, is now boldly launched in the sea of war — her sails proudly flapping in the roar of the coming storm. <

er of the young Colonel, served with distinction in the West Indies as an officer of the British army, and afterwards retired on half pay. In that period the British Government rigidly selected the officers of the army from aristocratic circles. Colonel Corcoran entered the Irish constabulary at the age of 19, and continued in that service till he attained his 22d year. He was then stationed at Creeslough, in the county of Donegal, in the North of Ireland — a locality celebrated for its Orange fends and bitter hostility to the Roman Catholic faith, of which Colonel Corcoran was a member.--No locality could have been more favorable to impress a young and ardent mind with hostility to British institutions, as the obsolete privileges and customs of days when the word and not the Gospel was made the means of publishing religion were resumed by the Orangement, on the anniversary of the defeat of papal armies in by-gone centuries — a course which naturally created the most intense hatre

Scales Turned. --Conrad Baumhard was arraigned before the Mayor last Saturday to answer the charge of resisting Watchman Orange in the discharge of his duty. The evidence proved that a drunken marine accosted the accused, while standing before his door, and brought about a slight scuffle. The watchman, seeing the disturbance, commanded the peace, threatened to take Baumhard to the look up, and not being able to do so alone, got the assistance of two other watchmen and dragged him to the cage. After hearing several witnesses the Mayor discharged Baumhard, reprimanded the watchmen who aided Orange without knowing the charge against the accused, and suspended Orange from duty.
