FOREIGNERS.
Almost every vessel which ar rites in
our ports, whether from France, England,
or Germany, comes Weighted with as ma
ny p*ssengcre as she can possibly accpm
.cnodate, or as the- laws of the respective go
wernments allow her to bring away. The
most distinguished heroes, statesmen, then
of science, artisans, manufacturers and me
chanics of every description, flying from
'the persecution and tyranny of Kings, and
the miseries and poverty of the old world,
seek liberty happiness and plenty, in tht
mild institutions and boundless resources
of the new. Such is the picture which
the free republic of America presents in
the beginning of the nineteenth century !
