Oa 11. RAM. EMI 1 38.1 Extracts from Maoauley's New Volume 17E3 We make the following extracts from the fifth volume of Macauley's History of Eng land, just issued by publishers in Philadel phia, New York and Boston. Some years before, while the war was still raging, there had been loud complaints in the city that even privateers of St. Malo's and Dunkirk caused less molestation to trade than another class of marauders. The Eng lish navy was fully employed in the Ohan nel,in the Atlanticand in the Mediterranean. The Indian Ocean, meanwhile, swarmed with pirates, of whose rapacity and cruelty frightful stories were told. Many of these men, it was said, came from our North American colonies, and cr.rried back to those colonies the spoils gained by crime. Ad venturers who durst not show themselves in the Thames found a ready market fur their ill-gotten spices and stuffs at New York.— Even the Puritans of New England, who in sactimonious austerity surpassed even their brethren of Scotland, were accused of con ni ing at the wickedness which enabled them to enjoy abundantly and cheaply the pre duce of Indian looms and Chinese tea-plant ations. Mill In 1605 Richard Cootc, Earl of Bellamont, an Irish peer who sat in the English House of Commons, was appointed Governor of New York and Massachusetts. He was a man of eminently fair character, upright, courageous and independent. Though a de cided Whig, be had distinguished himself by bringing before the Parliament at West minster some tyrannical acts done by whips at 'Dublin, and particularly the execution, if it is not rather to be called the murder. of Gefney. Before Bellamont sailed for America, William spoke strongly to him about the freebooting which was the die grace of the colonies. "I send you, my lord, to Now York," he said. "because an honest and upright man is wanted to put these abuses down, and because I believe you to be such a man." Bellamont exerted himself to justify the high opinion which the king had firmed of him. It was soon known at New York that the Governor who had just arrived from England was bent on the suppression of piracy, and some colo nists in whom he placed great confidence suggested to him what they may perhaps have thought the best mode of attaining that object. There was then in the settle merit a veteran mariner named William Kidd. Ile had reseed most of his life on t he wave, had distinguished himself by his seamanship, had had opportunities of show ing his vel ,r in action with the French, and had retired on a competence. Na man knew the Eastern Seas better, He WAS perfectly acquainted with all the haunts of the pirate!, who prowled between the Cape of Good Ilene and the Straits of Malacca; and he would undertake, if he were intrusted with a single ship of thirty or forty guns, to clear the whole Indian Ocean of the whole race. The brigatines of the rover were numerous no doubt, but none of them were large; one man of war, which in the royal navy would hardly rank as a fourth rate, would easily deal witn them all in succession, and the lawful spoils of the enemies of mankind would much more than defray the charges of the expedition. Bellamont was chorused with this plan, and recommended it to the king. The king referred it to the Admiral ty. The Admiralty raised difficulties, such as are perpetually raised by public boards when any deviation, whether for the better or for the worse from the established course of proceeding is proposed. It then occurred to Bellamont that his favorite scheme might be carried into effect without any cost tO the state. A few public spirited men might easily fit out a privateer which would soon make the Arabian Gulf and the Bay of Ben gal secure highways for trade. Ile wrote to his friends in England imploring,, re monstrating, complaining of their lamenta ble want of public spirit. Six thousand p runds would be enough. That sum would be repaid, and repaid with large interest, from the sale of prices, and an inestimable benefit would be conferred on the kingdom and on the world, His urgency sueeee led. Shrewsbury and Romney contributed. Ox ford, though as first Lord of the Admiralty, he had been unwilling to send Kidd to the Indian Ocean with a king's ship, consented. to subscribe a thousand pounds. Samers subscribed another thousand. A ship called the Adventure Galley W. 1.9 equipped in the port of London, and Kidd took the command Ile carried with him, be4ides the ordinary 'ettcrs of marque, a commission under the Great Seal empowering him to seize pirates and to take them to some place where they might be dealt with necording - to law.— Whatever right the king might hare to the goods found in the possession of these male factors, he granted, by letters patent, to the persons who had been at the expense of fit ting out the expedition, reserving to himself oily one-tenth part of the gains of the ad venture, which was to be paid into the trea sury. With the claim of merchants to have back the property of which they bad been robbed, his majesty, of course, did not in ,erfere. Ile granted away, and could grant away no rights but his own. The press fur sailors to man the royal navy was at that time so hot that Kidd could not obtain his full complement of hands in the Thames. Ile crossed the Atlantic, vie ReCeil'"ei 6. r.

COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIA, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1861. ited New York, and there found volunteers' in abundance. At length, in February, 1697, he sailed from the Hodson with a crow of more than a hundred and fifty men, and in July reached the coast of Madagascar. It is possible that Kidd 'way at first have meant to act in aceurdauce with his instruc tions. But on the subject of piracy he held the notions which were then common in the North American colonies, and most of his crow were of the same mind. Ho found himself in a sea which was constantly tra versed by rich and defenceless merchant ships, and he had to determine whether he would plunder those ships or protect them. The gain which might be made by plunder ing them was immense, and might be snatched without the danger of a battle or the delays of a trial. The rewards of pro tecting toe lawful trade were likely to bo comparatively small. Such as they were, they-would he got only by the first fighting with desperate roams who would rather bo killed than taken, and by then instituting a proceeding and obtaining a judgement in a Court of Admiralty. The risk of being called to a severe reckoning might not un naturally seem small to one who had seen many old Buccaneers living in credit and e.nnfort at New York ami Boston. Kidd soon threw off the eltaxacter of a privateer and became pirate. 110 established friendly communications and exchanged arms and ammunition with the most notorious of these rovers whom his commission authorised him to destroy, and made war on those peaceful traders whom he was sent to defend. He began by robbing Mussulmans, and speedi ly- proceeding from Mussulmans to Armen ians and from Armenians to Purtugese.— The Adventure Galley took such quantities of cotton and silk, sugar and coffee, cinna mon and pepper, that the very foremast men received from a hundred to two hundred pounds each, and that the eaptaiu's share of the spoil would have enabled him to live at home as an opulent getleman. With the rapacity, Kidd had the cruelty of his odious calling. He burned houses, he missacred peasantry. His prisoners were tied up an . beaten with naked cutlasses in order to ex tort information about theirconcealed hoards. One of his crew whom he he had called a dug, was provoked into exclaiming, in an agony of remorse: "Yes, I mu a dog but it is you that have made me so." Kidd, in a fury, struck the man dead. • News then travelled very slowly from the Eastern Seas to England. But in August, 1625, it was known in England that the Aiiventure Galley, from which so much had been hoped, was the terror of the merchants of Surat and of the villagers of the coast of Malabar. It was thought probable that Kidd would carry his b iaty to some colony. Orders were therefore, seat from Whitehall the governors of the transmarine possessions of the crown, directing them to be on the watch for him. He, meanwhile, having burned his ship. and dismissed most of Ids men—who easily found berths in the sloops of other pirates— , returned to Now York, with the means as he flattered himßelf, of making his peace and of living in splendor. He had fabricated a long romance, to which Bellamont, naturally unwilling to believe that he had been doped, and had been the means of duping others, was at first dis posed to listen with favor. Bot the trot's soon C:11130 our. The governor did his duty firroly,„and Kidd was placed in close con finement till orde •s arrived from Vie Admi ralty that he should be sent to England. rrar.re Tar. G11t.5.1' IN lINGIAND In the same week in which Whitehall perished, the Londoners were supplied with a new topic of conversation Ly a royal visit, which, of all royal vis•ti, was the least pom pous and ceremonious, and yet the most in teresting, and important. Oa the 10th of January a vessel from llblland anchored off Greenwich, and was welcomed with great respect. Peter the First. Czar of Moseovy, was on board. lie took twat with a few at tendants, and was rowed tip the Th tines t o Nwfolk street, where a house overlooking he ricer had been prepared for his recep tion. His jmirney is an epoch in the history not only of his own country, but of -ours and of the world. To the polished nations of West ern Europe, the empire which he governed had till then been what Bukhara. or Siam is to us. That empire, indeed, though less extensive than at present, was the must ex tensive that had ever obeyed a single chief. The dominions of Alexander and of Trajan were small when compared with the im mense area of the Scythian desert. But, in the estimation of statesmen, that boundless expanse of larch forest and morass, where the snow lay deep during eight months of every year, and where a wretched pert7antry could with difficulty defend their hovels against troops of famished wolves, was of less account than the two or three square miles into which were crowded the count ing -houses, the warehouses, and the innu merable masts of Amsterdam. On the Bal tic, Russia had not then asingle 'port. Ller maritime trade with the other nations if Christendom was entirely carried on at Archangel, a place which had, been created ,ind was supported by adventurers from our island. In the days of the Tudors a ship from England, seeking a northeast passage to the land of silk and spice, Rad discovered the White Sea. The barbarians who dwelt on the shores of that dreary gulf had never before seen such a portent as a vessel of a hundred arid sixty tons burden. ' They Bed in terror; and, when they were pursued and overtaken, prostrated themselves before the chief of the strangers and kissed his feet.— He succeeded in opening a friendly commu nication with them, and from that time there has been a regular commercial intercourse ibetween our country and the subjects of the Czar. A Russia company was incorporated in London. An English factory was built at Archangel. The factory was indeed, even in the latter part of the seventeeth century, a rude and mean building. The walls consisted of trees laid one upon the other, and the roof was of birch bark. This [ shelter, however, was sufficient in the lung summer day of the Arctic regions. Regu larly at that season several English ships cast anchor in the bay. A fair was held on the beach. Traders came from a distance of many hundreds of miles to the only mart where they could exchange hemp and tar, hides and tallow, wax • and honey, the fur of the sable and the wolverine, and the roe of the sturgeon of the Volga for Manchester stuffs, Sheffield knives, Birmingham buttons, sugar from Jamaica and pepper from Mala bar. The commerce in these articles was open. But there was a secret traflie which was not less active or less lucrative, though the Russian divines pronounced it damnable. In general, the mandates of princes and the lessons of priests were received by the Mus covite with profound reverence. But the authority of his princes and the lessons of priests united could not keep him from to bacco. Pipes be could not obtain; but a caw's horn perforated served his turn.— From every Archangel fair rolls of the best Virginia speedily found their way to Nov gorod and Tobolsk. The commercial intercourse between Eng land and Russia made same diplomatic in tercourse necessary. The diplomatic inter course, however, was only occasional. The Czar had no rermatten t minister here. We had no pertstanent minister at Moscow, and even at Archangel we bud no consul.— Taree or four times in a century extraordi nary embassies were sent from Whitehall to the Kremlin, and from the Kremlin to Whitehall. The English embassies had histOrians whose narratives may still be read with in terest. Those historians described vividly, and sometimes bitterly, the savage ignor ance and the sqnalid poverty of the barbar ous country in which they had sojourned. In that country, they said, there was neither literature not science, neither school nor college. It was not till more than a hun dred years after the invention of printing that a single printing,press 'had been intro '...uced into the Russian empire, and that printing press had speedily perished in a fire which was supposed to have becn kin dled by the priests. Even in the seven teenth century the library of a prelate of the first dignity consisted of a few manu scripts. Those manuscripts, ton, were in long rolls; for the art of book binding was unknown. The best educated men cceild barely read and write. It was Much iI the secretary to whom was intrusted the dire!- , lion of negotiations with foreign powers bad a sufficient:smattering of Dag Lain to make himself understood. The arithincti., was the arithmetic of Dark Ages. The denary notation was unknown. Even in the impe rial treasury the computations were made by the help of balls strung on wires. Roand the person of the sovereign there was a blaze of gold and jew,!.: hot even in his most splendid palaces were to be found the filth and misery of an Irish cabin. So late as the year 16.7.3 the gentlemen of the retinue of the 1 trl of Carlisle were, in the city of Moscow. thrust into a single bed-room, and were told that, if they did not remain to gether, they would be in d.lnger of being devoured by rats. Such WAS the repart which the E tglish legations wade of what they had seen and suffered in Russia, and their evidence was continue i by the appearance which the Itusmian legation mule in England. The strangers spoke no civilized language.— Their garb, their gestures, their salutations, had a wild and barbarous character. The ambassador, and the grandees who accom panied him. were so gorgeous that all Len den crowded to stare at them, and so filthy that nobody dared to touch them. They came to the court balls dropping pearls and vermin. It was tail that one envoy cudg elled the lord; of his train whenever they soiled or lost any part of their finery, and that another had with difficulty been pre vented from putting his ern to death for the crime of shaving and dressing after the French fashion. Oar ancestors, therefore, was not a little vurprised to learn th-tt a y flung barbarian, who had, at seventeen years of age. became autocrat of the immense region stretching from the confines of Sweden to those of China, and whose eduction had been in ferior to that of en Eugli;h farmer or shop man, had planried gigantic improvements, had learned enough of some language of Western T:uropo to enable hiM to communi cate with civilized men, bad begun to sur round himself with able adventurers from various parts of the world, hail sent many of his young subjects to study languages, arts and sciences in foreign cities, and, final ly had determined to travel even as a pri vate man, and to discover, by personal ob servation, the secret of the immense power enjoyed by some communities whose whole territory was far less than the hundredth part of his dominions. It might have been expected that France would have been the first object of this cu. riosity. For the grace and dignity of the French king, the splendor of the French court, the discipline of the French armies, and the genius and learning of the French writers, were then renowned all over the world. But the Cral'S mind hid early taken a strange ply which it retained to the last. Ills empire was of all empires ilia least capable of being made a gre tt naval power. The Swedish provinces lay between his states and the Baltic. The Bosphorus and Dardanelles lay between his states and the Mediterranean. He had access to the ocean only in a latitude in which naviga tion is, during a great part of every year, perilous and difficult. On theocoan he had only a single port. Archangel, and the whole shipping of Archangel was foreign. There did not exist a Russian vessel larger than a fishing boat. Yet, from some cause which cannot now be traced, he had a taste fur maritime pursuits which amounted to a passion, in deed almost to a monomania. His imagina tion was full of sails, yard arms and rud ders. That large mind, equal to the high est duties of the general and the statesman, contracted itself to the most minute details of naval architecture and naval discipline. The chief ambition of the great conqueror and legislator was to be a good boatswain and a good ship's carpenter. Holland and England, therefore. had fir him an nttrac tion which was wanting to the ,galleries and terraces of Versailles. lie repaired to Am sterdam, took a lodging in the dock-yard, assumed the garb of a pilot, put down his name on the list,of workmen, wielded with his own hand the caulking-iron and mallet, fixed the pumps and twisted the ropes.— Ambassadors who came to pay their respects to him were forced, much against their will t t clamber up the rigging of a man-of-war, and found him enthroned on the cross-trees. Such was the prince whom the populace of London now crowded to behold. llis stately form, his intellectual forehead, his piercing black eyes, his Tartar nose and mouth, his gracious smile, his frown black with all the stormy rage and hate of a bar barian tyrant, and, above all, a strange ner vous convulsion which sometimes transform ed his countenance, during a few moments, into an object on which it was impossible to look without terror, the immense quantities of meat which he devoured, the pints of brandy which he swallowed, and which it was said, ho had carefully distilled with his own hands, the fool who jabbered at his feet, the monkey which grnned at the back of his chair, were during some weeks, pop ular topics of conversation. lie meanwhile shunned the publiegaze with a haughty shy ness which inflamed curiosity. lie went ta a play; but, as soon as ho perceived that pit, boxes and galleries were staring„ not at the stage, but at :dm, he retired to a back, bench, where he was screened from observa tion by his attendants. He was desirous to see a sitting of the lionse of Lards; but as he was determiaed not to be seen, Ito was forced to climb np to the leads, and to peep through j a small window. Ile heard with great in- I terest the royal assent given to a bill for raising fifteen hundred thousand pounds Lc ; tnd tax, and learned with amazement that this sun, though larger by one half than the whole revenue which he could wring from the population of the immense empire' of which he was r,bsolute master, was but a small part of what the Commons of Eng land voluntarily granted every year to their constitutional king. Albemarle had arrived at Kensington from the Hague, exhausted by rapid travelite% Ms master kindly bade him go to rest fur some hours, and then summoned hint to make his report. That report was iu all respects satisfactory. The States General were in the best temper; the troop , , provi sion., and the magazines, Were in the best order. Everything was in re:dines ifa an early campaign. William received the intel ligence with the calmness of a man whose work was done, lie was under no illusion as to his danger. "I :tan fast drawing," he said, "to my end." Ills end was 'worthy of his life, His invilleet was not for a mo ment elotolel. llts fortitude was the mare admirable because lie was not waling to die. lie had very lately said to one of th-e.c whom he most loved, - Volt know that I never leered death; there have lo , en times when I should have wished it; hut, mi.:: that this great new prospect is opening b - - fore tar, I do Si is,li to stay a little longer.' . trot no weaknos.. he iptertilousne-is, di,- graced the noi,le el 'se of t b n ill ~ ..m.recr.
