John Champlin, Mite jjf the brig Harmony. On the ssd-o# May, in 30 fathom wa ter, Cape May bearing S.S. W. 18 leagues diftam, we were brought to by two iiri tilh frigates (or pirates) the Cieopatra of 3a guns, Capt. Penrole, and L'Oifeau of 36, Capt. Murray. At 7 o'clock in the . evening, they boarded us and took away Capt Tinker. After some time he re turned ,n one of the frigates boats, wirh two officers, with orders to take all our paflengers on board the Cleopatra, which they immediately began, and continued removing them until 12 o'clock at night, and finding it then inconvenient to prrfift in, they ordered us to remain along fide till morning, wi h which we were obliged to comply, althoug 1 we weie then 20 miles to the northward of the Capes, and the wind from the Southward. They com pelled us to steer N. E. by N. all night, and at day light relumed their tyrannical proceedings tow ards the pafTengers, all of whom they took off, excepting ihofe who found means to conceal themselves below, > and not content with robbing these unfor "■ tunate people of their freedom, and the ! owners of the veflel of th :ir property, carried off our fccon.l mate, who had a lawful protefliotf granted him by the Se cretary of State, and one of the seamen who is a native of Denmark, but had a protefiion from one of our Consuls, and left us with but three men fit for duty. Whili't the Harmony v:as detained by the Britilh (hips, we were informed by the Mate of the ship Confederacy of New- York, (whole crew were alio on board) that the said snip was captured by them on the 28th of April, and lent to Halifax, and that twenty odd Americans were ia j confinement on beard tl-'i frigat.-s, be. ig fjf tut: crews oi the iliip oi ..v, J and Harmony of tiiln.iiorc. r " f Phiad.

The Age of Reason, when a few remarks ' J were made as might naturally be expec- J 1 ted si om men who are neither Atheilts ' nor Sadducees, but who believe that a ' juit God governs this world, as well as e that which is to come ; and that iu the <- future (tate, he will give to every one a r a recompence of reward, according as J. his life and conversation liere (hall have ( ' been, whether in obedience to the re- | vealed will of Heaven, or after the vain 0 ' imaginations of his own mind. 1 They likewifelamented that there li- v ved a man fa unjust to himfelf as to en- ' tertain such opinions, and so inimical to his lpecies as to publish them ; and that > the celebrity ef a patriotic name should t j be corrupted into a vehiele tor the mod S deadly of all poisons. it The fucceffea and immoralities of the French were also mentioned, and a few V common observations tliereon being ? made, one, who abhoired The Age of Reason. declared, that if a people £0 w cruel and wicked be is the end fuctefsful A he would renounce the principles of Si Christianity, and adopt those of The Age of Reason. th By an accident the company was at that moment separated, and I retired (j to my lodgings, sol lowing that a good f r intention should be so marred by inttm- C peiate zeal. The delign was only, in h. very strong terms, to express difappro- ,a bation of things which all men of virtue p and humanity must condemn. But he was so unguarded as to I'uiler the feivor of his -le-ihoealup his avowedfentiments; for it was in fa£t faying, If the ni ty, in thedifpenfations ofHis providence did not order things, as hi (kl+gli JUufl aT.d if I, fie would renounce all belief " in His providential caie of the world, tl which is in truth faying with the fool, or jhere is no God. « By this kind of zeal men mod unhap- " pily injure their own mind, and commit " the heim us offence of accusing eternal juHice—What pity it is that the affairs '' of the world command morecircumfpec tion than thole of eternity! ca I recoiled a story of a zealot in the so pulpit, who, eager to engage his pa- pu lifh in some contest of bigotry, decla- P c ted, " Their cau'e was the cause of God and iftheDeity did favor them wiih success he would conclude that the Devil ■ had taken the command of Heaven." q From the absurdity of the conceit I had confideied this story as the fiction of the opposite paity ; but this declara tion, which reminded me of it, gives it the appearance of probability. From the apparent tendency of a few events, to judge of the stupendous plans ( of Omnipotence is at least imprudence, r" In such precipitationsitisforgotten that °' he is God, and they but men, blind and incapable us forefeelng and comprehen ding the glorious ind immense design. r y' ( In the present cafe, however, it is hap- °, py that we are warranted in believing those wars, and those Antichi iftian ae- • tors and teachers, are, a fulfilment of P ' S scripture prophecies ; and being such a fulfilment, they lupport, in a remarka ble manner, another declaration of holy y °' writ, Surely the wrath of man (halltraife rCC Thee. r J wa 1 his is a very particular declaration, aS and the coincidence of so many events ",'7 now verifying it is a eircumftaflce, so ft riking, that it cannot fail to operate f powerfully in favor of revelation, and a PioviJence, uponall minds oot yet mad- Vj dened into Paineifm, which aims, like the giants of old, to tear the sceptre from out of the hands of Jehovah, the omni potent, universal, and evcrlafting King. , C Thus those very transactions, which , all good minds abhor, and at which weak ones take offence, are imptoved, by infinite wisdom, into manifeitations CC ' ofHis immutable truth ; and they, all together, dilplay the Wonderful opera tions of that divine attribute which out of evil educes good, or overrules the lage of ambition and power to the praise of His glory, and completion of the e ternal counieis of His fotereign will.
