" During our last cruize we have captu
red two French Merchantmen with valuable
cargoes, and in company with the Arethu
fa, a Spanish brig, whieh the Arethufa has
sent to Portsmouth ; —since which we fell
in with a Spanish convoy, conlfting of five
frigatts, two brigs, and 85/ ail of merchant
men ; we engaged three of the frigates
for one hour and a half, but the reft coming
up we were obliged to haul off. In ten mi
nutes we made fail, one of their convoy be

" We have just landed at this place from

though we have been in all the engage

" This corps landed eight troops at the
Helder, 500 strong ; and although we
were in the engagements of the 2d, 6th,
and 9th*we loft only 50 men. No officers
were either k lled or wounded. The French
cavalry were very inferior to the Dutch,
and were unable to make any . efiftance.
We were frequently engaged with the
French hufiais, but always found them ve
ry inferior in difeipline. They wore hel
mets the ikull of which was brass, and had
chains hanging down their backs and fho'ul
ders to protedt them ; notwithftandirtg
which our men, owing to the life of the
sword, had much the superiority ; and on
Oftober 2, in which engagement the French
account for only 50 men killed, our corps
alone killed upwards of 200 of their huiTars,
exclufiva of the troops of the line, which on
that day were immer.fe.
" A horse on ene of the ships ar

who was pursued and killed by one of the

" Whose adorning, let it not be the outward
cd.:r:;i:ig of plaiting the btlir, and of
wewing of goldy or of putting on of ap
parel ; but let it be tit c moment of a
meek jnd quiet spirit."
IK the palTage immediately preceding
and connected with the text, St. Peter ex
horts wives to be in fubjpftion to their hus
bands. He then proceeds to recommend,
that femcle ornaments consist, not merely of
artful decoration aud exterior polish, but of
internal worth and lavelinei's,—of if a meek
and quiet fpirii." The exhortation pre
ceding the text might naturally flow from
an unpolilhed fitliernian, who fought rather
to chasten prevailing error and check the
torrent of corruption, than to adapt his doc
trines to the vitiated taste and manners of a
courtly agj.
T lie firft part of the Saint's exhortation
I (hall not attempt to enforce. Subjection,
amid the refinement of the times, is a term
fraught with absurdity, and conveys an idea
so grossly irrational and unpopular, as to be
almost universally exploded. Of every spe
cies of subjection, that of wives to their huf
bands is deemed the mod irrational and ab.
surd. It would therefore be hardiness to
advocate a dortrine to which " a deaf ear
is turned." Moreover, the example of the
" holy women in the old time," and the iU
luftrieus instance of eonjugal obedience dis
played hv Sara to her Abram, which are
urjjed with energy bv the Scriptural writer,
would have but a .orry influence in correct
ing the prevailing aiiarchial manners of th e
matrimonial ftatc. My text, indeed, favors
some what of the spirit ef the context and
may not readily be received as foupd doc
trine by all, but I Itiall attempt, however,to
(hew, that the preference given by St. Peter
is decidedly just.
By a " meek and quiet spirit," I am difi
poled to uhderftand St. Peter to mean that
mildness of manners, suavity of temper and
gentleness of disposition, which are decisive
indications of fuperipr worth, not that tamt
ness, which ia the mark and
weakness. The temper and demeanor, re
commended by Saint Peter are the direct
oppafite of the brazen deportment of the
modern Virago,^and his doftrines are tbe
pei feft antipodes of Wolstontraftiav philoso
phy. He neither seeks to f;nk the fair by
superlative effeminacy into
nor labors to lure them from those limits,
where alone they fliine with genuine luflre.
Saiat Pet., clearly indicates, that he had
been conversant with the ft *, and displays
an intimacy with the female heart, in thi
cautionary precept in the text. The fair in
all ages have carefully cultivated the arts
personal decoration. B?auty adds force to
the charm? of nature by the refinements of
dress; and deformity and ugliness seek to
be transformed into objects of admiration,
by the plastic hand of art, in the magic work
(hop of fafliion. A tafle for this " outward
adorning" *' is discernible among thole,
upon whom the gifts of fortune are bestowed,
and among those, to whom they are denied.
This orrament has a fafcinating influence up
on man, and the attainment of this influence
is a rßliiigpaffion of the female heart. Th«
lowly (hepherdefs, by the tafle and neatness
of ker palloral habit, seeks the admiration of
a captivated swain, and the courtly Cleopa
tra concei.ed the consummate texture of
her apparel, the riehnrfs of her purple, and
the brilliance of her di imonJs, no mean aux
iliaries to the cotiqui (I which brought to her
feet thi Mailers of Imperial Rome.
d»w( D 5 dtf)
The epiflolary writer speaks of the orna
ment, recommended in our text, j-> being
" that which is not corruptive," and as.br
ing " in the iight »f God of great price."
The wife; who makes this spirit her orna
ment, brings happiness to the abode of her
husband. It is a diamond of th» fineft wa
ter, a jewel of most sparkling brilliance;
itsluftre is unclouded by poverty and utttar
nithed by age. With propriety, then, does
St. Peter recommend, that this be the orna
ment of wives, and that tbeir adorning be
not " tbe outward adorning of plaiting the
hair, and of wearing of gold, or of, putting
on of apparel." The latter, without the for
mer, is, indeed, an empty decoration, and
honefl worth cannot hilt regard, with un
speakable contempt, the gorgeous externals
which cover a depraved heart or an unpo
lished understanding.
Who has regarded, even with careless at
tention, the prevailing tnfte of the age for
external ornament, and ;>crceives not, that
dtf.
