The free use of rurtj enervates the body, shortens life,and destroys reputation and credit ; and what is ff wtJtrse, nay crui, prevents inou sands innocent, helpless children, the enjoyment of such foad as even nature requires.

Under, such circumstances-, we are prompted to ask whether? it is ; n6t the duty $( the government of I tfepnited States to facilitate te communication between'this coun- lishd regular cam muni cations bp- t ween different parts of pur own country by the aid of posts and stages. Why should we not extend the .communication with Europe over the watery by apnveyaace adapted to the purpose The English government have established a packet which arrives every month in ew-York. In the summer months this paclcettouches at-Halifax, and of course we do iot receive the intelligence which it. conveys, till several d'ays afierit would have arrived bv a direct voyage. Why should , we suffer the English to excel u&f it this re spect ? $ur pacjiet might sail di rect to Europe, and return by the same route. The expences of this establish ment wpuid not probably bear any considerable proportion to its bene fits. The packet, like our stages, might be fitted out for the accom modation of passengers, whose con tribution would defray a great part qf the. expence. The owner would have the additional privilege of carrying out for freighter pn his pvsm account, as large a cargo as the short time allowed for his e. (uiioment mi krht enable him to re, ceive or to discharge. A small premium therefore' would be suf ficicni to induce the owner of each ! pa ket to contract for carrying the niaii. rive packets wou.d be sui ficientforone line. They might touch at Falmouth in England; and thence proceed to Hayrc-de-Grace?l in France. J-et us then ask whether itjs not the duty of Congress to pass a la w, authorising the Post-Mftster-&ene ri to establish a tegular line o n packets?
