“ MEN are ever difpofed to palliate, or

a killing thing to the natural pride of human

propeulity excites rranfgreiTors to feek for ar

As was obfervcd above, when’a perfon isde

that he had proceeded ftep by ftep, until he

’o confider this fubjedfc, and beware how they

ly how they excufe vice. They may per
fuade themfelves that fin is not “exceeding

more than this. They may, to excufe their ii

then be left in righteous judgment to run g ee

has fomething to this purpofe. His word) a> t

encouraged him to go up to Ramoth Gilead,
foretelling his profperous fuccef?, feemed <»n.
to have complied deceitfully with the inclma

his other courtiers in flattery, by gilding i
with a pretence of prophecy But when M.
caiah came to lay open the myftery of their
iniquity, it appeared that a lying fpirit,by the
of God.had poflefled their minds, and
given ihem impreihons by which, being fuper
natural, they were really deceived them
fdves.” Such is fometimesthe condemnation
of thofe who excufe or palliate their own ini

“given over to llrong delufions, to believe a

ODD POSTSCRIPT.
The last New-York Gazette contain
ed a Postscript, surmounted with a pair
of trumpets, a pen, and a packet of
newspapers, all neatly engraved. At
the first view the idea naturally occur
red. that the editor was in possession of
some very late news from Europe—
but on examination it proved to be a
pleasant editorial notice to his subscri
bers, that having firom/itly served them
with the latest news for the last six
I months, he trusted they would /xromfit
i 'y and generously remunerate him for
is toil. It is to be hoped he will ex
>erience no drawback on his industry.

In the ranks of democracy there are
men who will adhere to an administra
tion till every lineament of honesty fit
truth is frittered away. Even then, it
is feared, they would cc tinue their ad
oration, in despite ol naked evidence, St
in contradiction to every appearance of
plausibility. But, it is believed, there
are many honest men, who love then
country, and have supported the pres
ent national administration,under a con
fidence that its smooth speeches came
from the heart, and have imputed even
its vices to honest intentions Men of
this character have now an opportunity
to behold the inutility of the principal
experiments, tested by experience. We
select the Navy for the present. Mr. |
Jefferson and his friends exerted all
their influence to supplant the federal
administrations, and one great argu
ment with them was, an useless and ex
pensive Navy. When Mr. Jefferson
came into power, did he manifest the j
same zeal for the peoplt’s interest ? No. I
He projected gun-bcatsy which swept
the Treasury of an immense sum, and
whose only use seems to have been, to
pursue the government officers who
have fled from the country with the
people’s treasure.
The system of Gun-boats is now a
bandoned by the very men who were so
clamorous in their praise j and for
what reason ? They have been an use
less incumbrance, a drainer of the trea
sury, the contempt and abhorrence of
every naval officer and sailor, and the
sickly bantling of a whimsical philoso
, pher. Congress has directed their re
duction, and they are to be sold, if no*
too rotten to be moved, at a public aut*
tion. Let the citizens look to this, be
fore they approve of a loan oj four mill
ion*, and fin additional duty on ynpoi\s,
or in other words, a direct tax, to reim
burse the defalcations of Collectors of
the Revenue, and refill an exhausted
Treasury, wasted by quixotic experi
ments, which have enfeebled the coun
try without adding to its secuiity.—it>.

EUROPEAN PROSPECTS.
* I; l
We steadily predicted the general
result of the contest between Fiance Sc
Austria. It was our opinion, indeed,
that if the Spaniards and the Austrians, j
as two gieai nations, operating in dif-1
ferent quarters at one and the same
time, would quit themselves like men, e- 1
ven the Colossal power of Fiance would
be found inadequate to their complete
subjugation. As applied to great if not
to small nations, the celebrated apho- j
nsm ot La r aykttr, kk l or a nation to
be free, it is sufficient that she wills it,”
is undoubtedly correct. But this will
must in truth be the will of a A'afion, a
people energetic and undivided, a peo
ple, like tlie French themselves, u one
and indivisible.” It is not the momen
tary glow of patriotism, it is not the e
vanescent spirit of heroic zeal, bursting
out in cities and villages, unconnected,
isolated, it is not a few truly Spartan
characters, a Palafox, a Blake, an Alva
rez, that can resist with success the
mighty rulers of mighty empires,
“ wielding at will the fierce artillery”
of great anil potent armies, led by the
hero, Courage, and managed by the
sage, Discipline.
Austria is still a great military pow
er, but not gicat enough to contend
with Fiance. Her efforts were those
of a strong man armed, but they wire
in tain. The genius of Germany was’
rebuked by that of Gaul ' A , iddy girl,
dazzled bv the splendid idea of becom
ing the first Empress on the globe, will
seal the servitude of Europe, perhaps
of Asia. Not that a family connection
in itself would amalgamate the power
of France and Austria. But, in the
present instance, the matrimonial un
ion of the Arch Duchess Maria LouU
na with Mtjoleon the Gieat, will be the
most conclusive evidence of the com
plete devotion of her country to all the
projects of her husband. It results
from the relative situation of the two
countries at this moment, and the pe
culiar circumstances of the times. Na
poleon, for a time, will be more power
ful than if Austria were in name, as
well as in fact, a province of his domin
ions.
It is true, no doubt, that Russia will
soon change her politics. Cm bono ?
What good will result from it to the
great and permanent interests of man
kind ? Not t.n atom. France and Aus
tria will be fearful odds against Russia
I and Turkey, even if the ancient coun
try of the ambassadour, with sixty
threc children, be thrown into the same
scale. If those powers do not fall, they
must succumb. The wooden walls of
Albion cannot save them. There are,
indeed, in the natural constitution of
mankind, and in the natural current cr
i events, very powerful if not insupera
ble obstacles to the acquirement of
power absolutely boundless, by any sin
gle individual. Climate is perhaps the
most powerful of th'in all. Although
the French have hitherto been able to
live in every country, and in every
clime, yet it is possible that “ the vital
air, the all surrounding heaven,” may
one day be u big with death” to them,
upon the plains of the Euphrates. As
to the continent of Europe, the present
prospect is, thaf Napoleon will rule it
as he pleases.—Freemah*s Journal.

# From tht Virginia Patriot.
An Outcast.
“ Aaron Burr/* says a late London
paragraph, “ is said to be in Paris, plot
ting mischief.”
Fortunately for his country, perhaps
for the world, Aaron Burr’s days for
M plotting mischief” arc over. He is
an outcast from his native shores, it
houseless wanderer ; and it is probably
of about as much consequence to the
political world whether he is in Paris
or in Guinea, as it is to the natural world
whether he is dead or alive. There
was a time when Burr might had the
hearts of his country and secured the
applause of ages. There was a time
when by a virtuous and a prudtuc
course of conduct, he might have stu,-<l
next to Washington and Hamilton on
the list of American worthies : But he
preferred that crooked policy which
\ had for Us object personal aggrandize
ment, to the plain path of patriotism
; and duty i and he has reaped the rich
and merited reward of his labours, an
old age of care, of ignominy and of oh*
1 scurity.—There was a time when his
’ influence was second, perhaps, to that
of no man in the union—nay, I doubt
if there was not even a time when lie
might have kindled a flame of civil dis
cord that should have consumed the fa*
brick of our liberties, and then have
quietly seated himself Upon its ruins :
Now, lie that, at no distant cay, skull
write the epitaph of Burr may say of
| him, as Antony of Cscsar ;
|-“ But yesterda/J Lis word
“ Had stood against the world : N *\v lies
i he here,
“ And none 90 poor, to do him reverence.”
The fate of Burr is melaticholly :
Yet virtue cannot weep over it, because
she is obliged to wish that all who fol
low tiie same path may full into the
same pit. But it should prove a sol
emn warming to demagogues and to
American demagogue in particular :
For if Burr, with all his taianis. with all
his accomplishments and with ah lus
mflnence, succeeded so ill, wf it hope
can there be for any otfu a ?
Above all the example of Burr yflbrds
an impressive lessen of in sin .;jon to
citizens. Let it never be fon-otteii that
this man vv.-s one of tl ase v-ho pi ole s
std ti e wannest admit'., Jon for the
pcoplct the greatest zeal for tivir vel •
fare. the nVB‘. imallui;. v „iu to
