DE MARTiGN AC. bayonne, April 12. The accounts from St Sebastian are very interesting without rcfening to the official bulletin or order of the day, we may mention that on the 9th of this month three battalions, making part of the 3,600 men composing the garrison of the fortress, advancing to reconnoitre to a considerable distance from thc place, met with thc French, with whom they exchanged a few musket shot, but fmding themselves very inferior in number they fell back to the town, where a flag of truce soon appeared. 1 he commandant replied, that he would not let

Another Englishman is gone to Napoli di lotnania, to make another offer to the senate of five millions of dollars. r uns, April 22. The report which prevailed yesterday of the capture of the Guorirrc French frigate by two Spanish hiigs has not received any further confirmation. L is certain, however, thati$ was confidently reported at Paris on Sat urd u . The report that sir C. Stuart had

j pto'es ed against the formation of the j Spinish junin usurping authority in Spain j is positively drclatcd by a French paper, ! to b - withou. foundation.

London, April 22. Lord Liverpool, in the house of U ids, on the I5i. April remarked, that it England took a part in thc present contest between France and Spain, in suppoit of the latter, the whole feelings ofFianco towatdi thc war would be changed. Instead of a Spanish it would be meigecl into an English war; and it would be popular in France Now it is unpopular. He had the most distinct assurances that Portugal would be considered stiittly neutral. When it might, be necehsary lo interpose, it would be open for pailiamenl to do so. Similar declarations w ere made by Mr. Canning in the house of commons. From the Boston Statetman. There are and always were, sevnc penalties against usury. Imprisonment, confi cation of properly, and death, have been tho constquenrcs of usurv at diffeient periods. At present all usurious contracts are void, ai d n addi'ion to the loss of this debt, the usuret is fined uy indictment lo the amou: t cf hi- usurious bart; uns, one half ol which belongs to the

commonwealth, and the other hall to the prosecutor. Now where is the moral, j civil, or political distinction between a ' haid, oppressive bargain in monty, or in lands and goods? Why should there be such an immense difference between thc transactions, that when a man takes an ad- ' vantage of his neighbor in a money concern, he loses his debt and is indicted and ierhafi9 tmfirisoned himsrtf and when ho i takes advanttge in a trade of goods, ho can not only rrcover hts dtbt but imprison Ai debtor ? There are more facilities to cheat and over-reach, opprcs, and to , take undue advantages of men's nectgsities by barter and sale, than by letting money. Why should a man who takes seven per cent for the profit on his money, lose his debt and he indicted, and another who lakes 77 or 700 per cent for the profit on hi goods seize thepioperty and body of his debtor ? Why should a man who gives seven per rent, for money be discharged from his debt, while he who gives 100 per cent for goods more than they are woith. u imfirit nrd ?
