Dec. off Cape .Largo by a small schr.
of about 35 to 46 tons burthens, with
a crew of about 40 men of all nations,
armed with one 12 and one 6 poun
d.f. carronades," and Email arms in
treat abundance. The Exertion was
manned from trie piratical vessel car
ried :n back of the Keys, and anchored
in 12 reet water, (where she could
not be seen by any vessels passing
tht way,) when they commeced plun
dering her cargo ; threw over deck
load to make room themselves and-to
lessen her draught of water to get her
nea'er the ..shore. They continued
from d iy to day 10 take out her cargo
as they wanted it, and sent her boat
to the Island of Cuba, to mike sale
of tlif goods" (as they le.it ned after
wards.) They cut bushes and covered
the mat he-ids with tfiemto prevent

days after, Capt. L. his crew and 4
Sp-tniihrds (belonging to another ves

low and Key about a mile from the
vessels, with, very little provisions
and no water- neither was theie any

ihsy sent several pirates well armed
to demand Capt. L's watch, bavins
icarned he had secreted it about him,
which, they tpok, and then departed.
On the ItSth Jan. they cut away the
Exertion's masts. On the lj)th the
pirates came and took them off, and
carried them .20 miles farther west,
to another small low Sand Key, near
ly level with the water, and there left
them to perish, (as they afterwards
learned, )Ieavin2 very little provisions.
On the 6th Feb. David Warren died,
for want of water. About that time
they constructed a boat, or box, ol

SATURDAY, APHIL 13, 1822.
We publish this week the replies of
two of our! correspondents to the re
marks of iAtticus in a former; paper,
and perhaps we owe to our readers an
apology for devoting so large a por
tion of this week's impression to the
subject under' discussion ; its impor
tance however will, we trust, furnish
tlio n.lnt, fZrntfflA it WeiTIMV feel

voted to. other matters' than subjects;
cf religious controversy ; and under
mis couvicuoii, uuer ic picavm
cussion i shall have closed, we shall
feel ourselves compelled to refuse to
lay before the public eye, in the page
of the Centinel, any thing which by
attacking the belief, (or if the term suit
better, the prejudices) of a large ma-
jority of our readers, must necessarily
Mead to controversy.
FOR THE CAROLINA CEKTINEfu
Messrs. Editors,
I was surprised to find in your pa
.u K r", .
illiberaLthbugh very weak attack, on
an institution wincii lias ever among j
christians, been highly reverenced, as j
. - I I t
appointed by Divine authority, and
has justly been considered as emi
nently conducive to the preservation
of religion andmorals.
Your writer appears to be one v.'ho
has recently obtained some informa
tion, however erroneous on a point
concerning which he was before igno
rant, & with a self-complacency which
bears strong marks 'of juvenility" sup
posesr that others must be in the dark
as respects a subject with which he
lias but lately been made acquainted.
I answer his piece not because it de
serves answering, but because it might
possibly produce some effect on a
weak mind, and because I would say
something on the grounds which' chris
tians have for observing their Sabbath.
On the first paragiaph I shall not
now make any observations ; I pass on
for the present to his second para
graph. He begins with modestly
supposing Mr. Wright "had over-
looKfd or never knew (had never
known) the nature, &c. of the chris
tian Sabbath. Now 1 cannot help sup
posing that Mr. Wright was quite as
well informed cn the subject as Atti
cus can'be,thoughperhapsnotso deep
ly read in the 7th chapter of Paley 's
Philosophy.- And 1 trust the good
cbrislian, notwithstanding your writ-
ter's
assertion, will continue to be
lieve jhat the 4th commandment was
not merely addressed to the Jews, but
thai he also is commanded in that as
well as in other parts of the scriptures,
to " keej) holy the Sabbath day,"
while he is persuaded, at the same
time, that there is sufficient authority
for changing the Sabbath from the
seventh to the first day of the week;
Atticus shews how utterly unacquain
ted he is with the writings of the Eng
lish divines- (Paley's Philosophy of
course, always excepted,) when he
" presumes that Palsy's opinions are
consonant to (with) those of his order
in England;" for I will venture to
say there is scarcely a writer of any
eminence amono the clergy of the es
tablished church, who docs not con
sider the keeping holy of onediiy in
seven, for purposes of rest and devo
tion, as of perpetual and universal ob
ligation to those who are made ac
quainted with revealed religion.- I
shall cite the w ords of one author, at
least as learned and as liberal as the
Archdeacon, pnd then merely refer to
some others.) Dr. Samuel Clarke,
that illustrious light of science, in the
10th vol of his sermons, serm. 3, p.
4S, says-"And herein consists rthe
general morality of the Sabbath ; and
the eternal reason of its having per
petually a place among the unaltera
ble commandments of the moral law,"
And again, p. 63 " As the moral
part of the commandment concerning
the Sabbath, is of perpetual obligation,
so the ritual or instituted Dart, which

directly opposed to the testimony V
j eclesiastical writers, and eve.i to a
tation which Dr. i'alev, himseln
his 8th chapter, makes from irenaeus
a writer of the second century; who'
speaking of the first day of theweeiv
says, " Unusquisque nostrum Sabbati

- - xviit tu i.i ii'ri i.

works of God." As to what is'said of
its being necessary that the Sabbarh
should be recognized by the laws of
the state before it can be made an cr.
dinance of religion, it is contradicted
by notorious facts. If tins were the
.case, how could the 4th commandment
be binding on the Jews during tne
liabylonish captivity ? How could
they now adhere to it, in the midst of
the. different nations of the earth, a
mong whom they are scattered ? Ho
would it then be possible for the
Greeks in the Turkish empire to keep
the christian Sabbath? '-
Let us now see what reasons w
have for supposing the Sabbath efpe;
petual and universal obligation, ad
not merely enjoined on the Jews.
I. The Saubath was instituted lon
before the Jews had existence, for aJ
the creation of the world, "God bles
sed the seventh day and sanctified it. '
Gen. 2. 3. Consequently it nr
binding on the whole Jiuman race.
We find the Sabbarh was recognised
(Exod.xvi. v. 23.) before the giving
of the law from Mount Sinai, fortbe
incidental manner in which it is there
spoken of, plainly shews it was? net
then first commanded! The univer
sality of. the Sabbath is intimated by
our Saviour, Mark 2. v.T27. " T:-e
Sabbath was made for man, and net
man for the Sabbath" He
not say as on other occasiens, U'Q'
ses gave you this precept," but consid
ers the whole race' cf man as bouod by
the commandment. , If W Co not ad
mit the institution of the Sabbath m
the creation, it will be impossible
L tionally to account for the division m
timejnto. weeks, which nas ppfll
