I&/V state in iliC U:<ion. Christian unity, ? then, may here exist, independent of ? sectarian differences. In Spain, in Ame rica, in every nation on earth, may truth shed its enlightening beams on the minds of men, and influence them to judge with candor, and view with indul gence all who differ from them in reli gious opinionl 4' Religion is a plant of such delicate growth, that force cannot make it flourish, nor can it brirg forth fruit of acceptance with Clod, or ol va lue to m--'n, unless it spring up frei lv in a sincere and honest heart.** Away, then, with inquisitorial powers, test acts, and disqualifying ordinances. 44 Reve lation is a matter of fact, firmly esta blished on proofs that all the efforts of infidelity cannot shake. Mere opinions avail nothing to the operation ot it on the hearts of mankind." Feisecuiion may make men conform, hut it cannot convince. Phii.o Veritas. ARKANSAS. ITV.ract of a let er fntm Arkansas to the edi tor of the New-York Columbian. 4i Tnc country here is represented to be very fertile. The upper parts of the territory produce excellent wheat, rye, corn, sweat po'atoes, cotton, tobacco, fcc. The prices of bread stuffs are as high here as at New Orleans, and ge nerally higher; and, indeed, the larmers get whatever they chooso to ask. We ha%e ho'vevtr, but three or four far mers, and even they would hardl) bear that title in the s'ate of X. York. They sow and plant it is true: but give them selves little concern about the crop till harvest. This is one of the finest coun tries in the world for raising stock; and vet we have at present, neither butter, milk, nor cheese. There are two or three persons in this neighbourhood who have large herds of cattle, and in the summer milk one hundred cows; yet they do not make as much butt< r and cheese as one good farmer on Long Is land would from 8 or 10. This is alto gether owing to their mismanagement. They let their cows go into the prairies and canebrak^s, and do not attend to bringing them up and milking them regular. The natives of this place are French, Creole, Spanish. Indian, and a mixture ot" the whole. Tnere are a numhi r of families from the United States, but they partake more or less ot" the cha rac cr of tiic natives. They are very correct and h nest in their dealings, :-nd never have lawsuits.

A lis ton, lady of the then governor o:" South Carolina, and daughter of col. Burr, formerly \ice president of the U. States. Mr*. Allston was in a delicate state of health at the time, and unable to travel bv land. Timothy Greene, esq. of thi> rftv, an intimate friend of governor Allston's family, proceeded to Charleston in the pilot boar, for the purpose of accompanying Mrs A. on the voyage. From the time they em barked and sailed from Charleston, no tidings whatever had ever b^ en heard of the vessel or any one on board. It was at first supposed that Hie vessel muu have been captured by a British cruizer, but after a lapse of time, that hope was abandoned. Notwithstanding the weather was mild and favourable for several days after the vessel left Charles i ton, and such as to render her loss mys terious up to the present time, no other idea of the melancholy circumstance had prevailed than that the vessel must have foundered at sea, or run under during a chase. But the mystery is at length develop cd ? for the honor of human nature, it 1 J were to be wished that the facts had ne ver been revealed, and that the fol lowing horrid tale had been buried with the wretches who told it. A gentleman recently from New Orleans, has communicated to a friend of the family of the late Mr. (ir-ene, that two of ;he pirates, latciy sentenced to suffer death at New-Orleans, con tested, that thov composed part of* tne crew of the above pilot hoat Patriot! that after being at sea two or three days, and near the shore, they rose upon tne captain and passengers, and confined them below ? when they stoo i close in shore, and after plundered the passen gers of a considerable sum ot money and plate, belonging mostly to Mrs. A:i ston. they launched the boat and scut tled the vessel, which soon filled and went down, with the unfortunate inmates contincd below! 1" he dreadful tragedy wa? performed in the dead of night. . These wretches succeeded in reaching the sh>>re with the hoat, and had tnus far escaped detection and punishment of this horrible crime. SHEFFIELD TRADE. In the Engtisli newspaper, the Shef field Mercury, ol the 2Jd April, lucre lb a well written article on -he S'lefField trade, w.ucn contains the following pa ! ragraph: i " America has I ng been one of the i m -s important and valuable markets for iiur wares; but, in consequence of the ir comnici ce being frequently inter j rupted, together witii the misMiider sta\duig and ruptures that have taken pi .ci between that country and this, has 1 gradually weakened our interest with I the Americans, and prompted th>*m to I turn tns;r aitention to manufactures, I butjjith w|^s; success I am not prepar I cd ttfsay, though it is evident they are purchasing large quanrit a of steel, I tcady prepared fo'- tnc, jammer.

R it, in ull proba bility, t ie evil will not stop here; a-? it is very obvious, that, as they have oc casion I <r suth lai ^e quantities d stc-. 1, they have artisans to work it up; and, if succ ssful, they will not long resort to England lor tuat material out ?ill make it theinseiv s; and this is mote probable, as the America;) govc.nm nt arc aboi.t to pass some very rest.icuvc law3, which, if put in lorce, will almo-t amoui t to a complete prohibition.

That, whatever may be the perseve rance of other nations iu this system, the British government should begin a more wise commercial policy, without regard to reciprocity of benefit between us and any particular nation, because, by en couraging an increased import from one nation, w? are certain of gaining an in creased export directly to that nation, or intermediately to some other nation. " That it Spears to your petitioners, that such ^liberal system ot commer cial policy, which is thus humbly sub mitted to the consideration of the hono rable house, would produce a greater revenue, from the increased quantity (if imports, although subject only to low duties; and at the same time would pro mote national industry, as a consequence of a proportional increasr cf exports." There is so much plausibility in these succinct but pregnant statements, that we ought to weigh well before we aban don the principles on which they art founded. It is Vieally singular, thai, just as the practical men of London and Edinburgh are; about abandoning the restrictive ?.ystem, we should* fail mi i'.. Why is t; as? ?

The s.ip merchant, Fowler, arrived at this port yesterday, bringing a Liver pool paper of the 1 5th May, and a Lloyd's List of the 12th. The Commer cial Advertiser eive the following sum n.ary an<l extracts. The slrp brought but I 5 letters, only 7 or 6 of which were fur this city. Billing's Liverpool Advertiser, states, that the proceedings of the New Parlia ment begin to assume a very interesting character. The first question which has tested the strength of the parties, was on the droits of the crown. Mr. Brough.im was the leader in the debate, on the part of the opposition, and Mr Canning on that of the ministry. The question was I on placing the admiralty droits at the j disposal of parliament. The votes stood on trie side of the ministers, 27 3 ? on I the opposition side of the house 155 ? ' giving tiu* former a majority ot i 18. The healtr. of lotd Ca'-tlereagh does not permit him to at'.cr.d to his parlia* mentai y d-iiies; but h it said Mr Can ning suppllt s his place with great tal lent, and as a btilliant debitor, stands per. iaps unriva.kd in th^ assembly.

The motion was rejected with ou a division, hut the wor'.hy Alder man pledged himself to follow up the investigation hy prosecuting l.d wauls for hi rh treason at his own expense; and for tlx observation* made by mi nisters u pon this promise, thue seems no reason to fear that the inquiry will be s'illed l<v a vr,U firo*i/ul. On the same evenin.;, sir James Mac intosh, moved tor a committee on the criminal laws; and on Thursday night Mr Mabtrly called the attention of mi nis ers to the financial circumstances of the country; with a view, as it ap peared, of suggesting a commuta ion of the whole body of the assessed taxes, for a property tax to the amount of ten millions. I he chancellor of the exche quer de< lined giving any pledge as to the course which he would pursue; but from the terms of his reply, there is rea son to hope that some such permanent and comprehensive measure of rational finai>cc may lie substituted, for the de sultory system of heterogeneous im posts, so long and so unsuccessfully pursued. In the house of lords on the nth the marquis of Lansdown moved that an humble address be presented to his ma jesty, praying that his majesty will be graciously pleased to order accounts to be laid before the house, of all salaries, pensions and allowances, which have been made to foreign ministers within the last ten years. ? The motion was cairird in the affirmative without any observations.
