Some wise-acre in the Aurora, after writing about Cobbett and Rush-Lights, and of the best republican writers in America, names Callender, Dallas, Tenche Coxe, and lastly Mr. Carey, as the best of Republican writers, and says the Rush Light No. 6, has been attributed to each of these persons at various times. It is now of little consequence who the author is, as no person now denies it being a base forgery. It is a pity Irish Jasper was omitted among the best republican writers, that self-titled "Gentleman of the first reputation," that "Cicero of Anglo Federalism."

From the sighing, sobbing, groaning, grunting, wailing, lamentations of the Aurora man over the fate of his friend, the Captain and crew of la Berceau, one must necessarily conclude that the humane, meritorious profession of plundering, robbing, capturing and murdering the unprotected citizens of this country, in prosecuting a commerce, unquestionably just and lawful, must be Duane's achme of virtue and patriotism, monstro hominum partus! that an insolent foreigner should deplore and execrate in our own country the success of its defenders, is not so much to be wondered at, but that it should be borne and encouraged by those very citizens who are daily receiving the advantages of a protected commerce—a protection to which they are indebted for the enhanced prices of all kinds of produce is too abominable to be credited of any other age, or Country, or people. If patriotism be a duty if Gratitude be a virtue, such conduct must and will meet with a just retribution. Read citizens, read again the infamous pages of the Aurora of yesterday.

From the Aurora.
"Shall new and more damning evidence be brought against Mr. Adams and Mr. Hamilton, and others, not hitherto enough distinguished for their TRAITEROUS conduct."

What says the ATTORNEY GENERAL, to the above?

Epigram from the Boston Centinel
Had the Berceau's aid been a little more strong.
She the Boston had match'd to a tittle:
And we've reason to think this conjecture not wrong,
As he only was beat by a little.
