As an apolo?ry for the publication, at this late period, of the follovvingrsketch, we. would n say that at the time of the occurrence, and for some years after, no paper vas printed ' in this place, - The statements of the com m;Jnication however, are well substantia ted, and though" loiv delayed, we are ne vertheless desirous to snve "Honor where honor is due.' A V ATIllAUTE It may not be generally , I the Hon. Joel R. Poinsett, known that at present a member of Congress" from the city of Charleston,. S. C. has rendered; highly important services to the interests of this Island. . . ' ' . Mr. Poinsett arrived at Buenos Ay res in 181 1 as an informal agent on the part of tW United States, with a view x) ascertaining the political state of that portion of South America. After his report was received by the President, he was appointed Consul General of the United States, for Buenos Ayres, Chili, - and' Peru ; and in that character crossed the continent to the- Pacific Ocean. ff. -P6iosett arrived at Chili in December 1811. f Previous to that time the Iima privateers had repeated !y plundered our ships employed in the whale fisher v ; 3th eyi had cut out our whale ships. It that at this time iwill be remembered Lima was. at peace with Chili. To this violence and abuse Mr Poinsett remonstrated in vain. ''.Aftjer. the d eclafaitiori of war between the United; Spates and Great Britain, they pretended they were allies of Great Britain,' and therefore had a right to capture the ships of her enemies. ' An expedition was fitted out by the viceroy or Lima, ana tney succeeueu 'in landing and taking possession of the towns of Conception and .Talcahuana. By the capture of Tal cahuana, a large number of American ships, among wh i c h w e re th e f ol I o wi n g, 1 ad e n w i t h cargoes of oil, and taking in water and provisions for .their homeward voyage, were captured and their crews confin ed on board viz: ship Criterion, Wm. plnrk, Unaeter f I,yon, Albert Clark ; Sukcv. John Macy r Gardner Isaiah lay ; President, Solomon Folger, Jr. ; .Perseveramla, Thos. .Padduck : Atlas, Obed. Joy ? besides several others. ; Under these circumstances, insulted and injured as we had been,.. and war having, in tact, been t comnienceu a gairist us, Mr. Poinsett joined the Chi lian army, "ami; directed its movements. Abattie was fought near the town San jCltrlos on the ltli Mr some hours, with ' various success and with great bbs.t.ina-1 . vy on bth sicles. !Night intervening enabled Mr. Poinsett to place himself at the head of four hundred piked men, with : thiee ieces bf ; light artillery ; with whicln . leaving the main body of the army, he marched directly on 'Fal caliuana, to which place the enemy bad drawn their forces, which town he suc ceeded in capturing, after an engage nient of three hours: It y.as exceed ingly, fortunate that, on the nig!it pre ceding the battle, tfere was a heavy gale from the northward, which pre ventedthe enemy from carrying away thp American vessels ; wliich "they; hud raptured. The battle was fought in the presence ofour brave seamen, who Avere placed in the painful an;l mortify ing situation of mere spectators, being iniprisbned on board the vessels. ,, The town was camedjby storing: and tlie result was the release of ten A me ricah whale ships4 which, were held as prizes by the inhbitatits of Lima. The be ne tits which' resulted to this island tro:n the enterprise are "rjncalculablei Two hundred gallant seamen were .re-; : leascd-TromuprreoViipent : a large, a -m.ou iit: of property v was rescued J rom depredation ; and 4hfs sit a time of ge neral distress in this place.1 ; At the time, of the capture! of the; above ves sels, 'their papers were taken from them and destroyed. Mr, Poinsett gave them consular certificates, witli wTiich . t hey immediately sailed to Nantucket. 'ro'the troth of the abovefimrjle nar rative, therare a rmb who are happy to bear tes ti mony, and to acknowledge their obligations to Mr. . Poinsett. ThQie are many others, al- so,' whose property was rescued bv his cxerxions. in tact it was an enterprise ot vast importance to us. We think Hew would have had the courage to at tempt, oi4 the talent and enterprise to acnieye so gallant and heroic an action. .Wed6 not speak of MrPoin sett's learning. He has unquestionabl y read much and travelled much: Hishisto ry of Mexico is before the public. As an honorabl e highminded, and wise politician his views are w el 1 known to the country ; oil. these subjects there fore, we need not speak. , But we re gret that we have never before publish ed to the world the above simple state ment of facts so deeply interesting to us,1 which wee witnessed by two hunf deed of bur citizens, and which, pro bably, few other Americans ; have had an opportunity of knowing. JUSTICE. SELECTIONS. ! Christianity, far from being calcula ted for any political constitution in par ticular is found to prosper and flourish under every form of government ; it corrects the spirit of democracv, and softens the rigour of despotic power. An enlargement of .mind and superior intelligence, distinguish in a peculiar ipanner those nations tliat have em braced the faith, from those extensive portions of mankind, who fight under the banners of Mahometv-or '..adhere to the more pacific Institutes of Brama and Confufcius. The inhabitants of the East groan under the oppressions of arbitrary power, and little can their religion contribute toalleviate the vv-eight, of their chains. The Mahometans more especially are' marked by peculiar igno rance : and s.ofar are -they from being distinguished by the light of science, or the cultivation of useful knowledge, that they rarely adopt any foreign im provements, and even ,smothe," in its birth the spirit of liberal inquiry; and research. White, i s AfRictions bring us to consideration. A man can sit and hear a sermon as unconcerned, as if eternity had no part of his interest ; he little regards - the message or, the messenger. But let GoO send one of Job's messengers to tell him of some temporal loss, and he is soon attentive. Where one tear falls inconsequence of complying with Goer s will, multi tudes How in' consequence ot our own. " having Whoever looks upon the soul through its outward actions, often-sees it tiiro'' a deceitful medium, which is apt to disorder and pervert the object ; soup on this account, also, he is the proper judge of our real characters, .who does not guess at the sincerity of our interi tions from the goodness of our actions, but weighs the goodness of our actions, by the sincerity "of our intentions. : Whilst tlie infidel mocks at the superstition- of the vulgar, insults over their credulous tear,; their 'childish er ror and fantastic rites' it j-ioes not oOcur to him to observe, that the most pre posterous device, by which the Weak est devotee ever believed he Was secur ing the happiness of a future life, is more rational than unconcern about it. Upon this subject nothing is so absurd as indifforence. no folly so. contempti ble as thoughtlessness & levity. PaLey. So great is the power of example, that men of influence resemble that Dragon in Revelation, who, being cast from heaven-to earth, drags after him in his fall so many stars j or that mys terious serpent, spoken of by our Sa viour, which being exalted from earthy happily exalts all to;it.

This woman raii away from the subscriber, exe cutor of John Hunt, dee'd, in the summer of 180S, arid passed as a free woman by the name ot Patsy Young, until about tne nrsi ot June lastj-wiien she vvas apprehended as a runaway , jo'n the 6th of the same month I obtained-possession' f her in the town of Halifax; since which time, bv an order of Franklin county court, she and her child Eiiza have been sold, when the subscriber became' the, purchaser. She spent the great er part of the time she was run away, (say about sixteen years,) in the neighbourhood of and in the town of; 'Halifax ; one- or two summers at Rock-Landing, where I am in formed she' cooked for the hands employed on -t'h'ft Canul.. She has also spent some of her. time in Ply mouth, her occupation while there not known. At the above daces she lias many acquaintances. She is a tall spare wo man, thin face and lips, long sharp nose, and fore-teeth somewhat decayed. She is an ex cellent Seabistress, can makej ladies and gen ti em ens .dresses,- is a good cook and j weaver, and I ani inf irmed is a good cake-baker aiid bcci-brcwer, Sec. by which occupations she principally gained iier living. ' Some time during lastj summer she married a free man of" colour named Chrael Johnson, who had been living in and about Plymouth, :aud fol low edi boating on tjie Roanoke. Since his rharria'gej he leased a; farm, of Mr. James Cot ton of Scotland-Neck, Halifax county, where lie was living together with j; this . w.ojnmn, at the time she was taken up as a runaway slave in June last. 1 have but little doubt, that Johnson has contrived to seduce or steal her and child out of my possession, arid will attempt to get them out of the State and pass as free persons. Should this be the case, I will give sixty-five dollars '-for his de tection and conviction before the proper tri bunal,': in any part of this State. :' I will give for tlie apprehension;-of the woman and child, on their delivery to me, or so secured in; jail or otherwise ; that I get them, thrrty f.Ve dollars or, 1 will give twenty-five dol lars for the woman alone, anl ten dollars for th;e child alone.: The proper 'name of the woma u is Piktt, but she will no doubt change it as shedidbefore. ; - I for warn; all owners cf boats, captains and owners of yesse.Is, from taking on board their vesse Is, or carry i ng a way this woman and her child tEliza, under the. penalty of .the law. .1 :'Ur ' ..V- -1 !
