'Piit pielent ode was written a: the requeft

with the bidory of the art which it celc
brates ; with aliuhons and illustrations vigor- I
oufiy bold and cladically beautiful ; and not
with.landing the fiiackles of writing to mulic, i
the fiyle is mafculine and poetic.
Phegreat ftages of the art are poetically ,
described in the three ti.fl veties ; to each of
whiaii there is an appropriate chorus Priut- I
| ing upon blocks with immoveable types was
invented by the defendants of Noah, “ on the
tent pla^isof Shinah,” and wa nearly coeval
with the fi. ft rude efTays at agriculture. But
the art remained in thi* ftate of impertection, !
tiii “father Fauft broke her table of wood”
and invented the moveable type. In fucceed
inggenerations the art received various im
provements, prior to the era of Frauklm, who
fir It united the genius of p’liloiophy to the art
of the mechanic.
How would antiquity hide her ditninifhed

FROM NAPLES.
On the 19th inft. anived at Sa
lem, {hip Frances, capt. Haikeil, 59
days from Naples, which lhip was
purchafed by the American Canful,
for the purpofe of conveying to their
own country, TWO HUNDRED
^ND TWENTY EIGHT Mailers, 1
Mates and Seamen of American vef- *
kU CONFISCATED at that place,
at Gallipoli, and at Civita Veechia.
Ey the fan.e ariival we are furnifh- .
ed with a lift of THIRTY NINE I
American vefFcls, which, with their
cargoes, amounting to TWO MILL
IONS 1WO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND DDL-1
LARS, have been Coufifcattd at the
above mentioned places, in <!irc£l j
violation of the faith & f.icred pledge
of the King of Naples !—On this,
fu jet! the keeper of the BJhti Ex
change Ojjce Hsife Bosks, obferves : —
“ The treatment of the Americans !
at Naples, was of a nature to excite
riie indignation of every man not loit i
to all fenfe of feeling for his coun
trymen. Not content with taking 1
vcjji ’s and cargoes, they were infa
mous enough to take pofTeflion of .
the private adventures of mafiers,
mates, and even ft amen, in many in
fiances, the crews of vefleis in the
hat hour were turned out, without
the leaf! notice being given them to
Ihift for themfel^es, and net the
tji allowance granted than ufnhj
sn Others, after their cargoes were
taken from them and couhfcated,
were called upon to pay the charges j
of landing the goods, as well as the
quarantine charges ; which, in fever
al initanc^s, amounted to ntarlv i aoo
dollars each veflel 1
And to crown the whole, after re
peated applies ions from the Ameri
can Conful at Naples for liberty to
purch.de fome of the vcffds to con
vey the unfortunate iutferers to their
ow n country, they had the barbarity
to refute even felling more than on*
veffel ior that purpofe, but crowded
into one fhip, liice fo many convicts,
upwards of 200 matters, fupercar
goes, mates and feamen, who were
hurried off by the Conful as loon as |
pothole, afraid they would retracl '
even this fancied indulgence. As a
proof of which, levcrai of the matters
returned home by the Frances, beard ;
the Conful fay, alter the ill ip was un
der fail from Naples, that the lYliuif
ter of Foreign atfairs, had adAfcd
him to batten the departure of 'he !
(hip, as lie could not ant wet* even f,r ■
an hour. And ail this after the King
of Naples had only a fhort time pre
vious itfued a prochuna.km invitmu
. 1 o
the Americans to ins ports, and pr m
tfing then f.ifety pretefii it. t>uie
ly tuch conduct, fo contrary to every
principle ol honor, fconwtty, or good
4 I
faith, pmR excite the execration of
every American, & brand the name
of Bonaparte and his minions, with
everlafting infamy-”
We are allured, by an intelligent
and refpectable pafTenger in the
George Dyer, that no favourable
accounts need be expected frem any
quarter where the F.encn arms pre
vail. He accounts for the tempora
ry fafetyof our propeity in the
North of Europe, Ly Hating the ne
cehity Bonaparte was under of order
ing i o,ooc troops from the borders of
HolRein, (Denmark,) &c. to Spain ;
in which latter place lie has more to
encounter than was anticipated.
The gentleman alluded to, has no
doubt of the intended *« fell fwoop,”
which will fooncr or later involve
all American property within the
reach of Bonaparte’s agent. Our
lliort relpite is owing to the fa<T,
well known in France that the nor
thern people will not execute his
decrees againR American commerce,
where there is not Rationed a French
military lotce adequate to enforce
obedience, ihey confidently expect
that fuch a ferce will line the coaRs
from Gibraltar to Cronftadt ; that
we cannot much longer find fafety
in Denmark or Prullia, any more
than we can in trance or Holland.

French EmiJJary Executed,
Mannuel Rodriguez Alemanfy Pe
na, has been apprehened as a ipy at
Havana, tried and ordered to be ex
ecuted. We have feen a letter from
Havana dated the 28th ult. which
Fates that this perfon was about the
age of 27 years, of a refpe&able fam
ily in Mexico—was fume time in Eu
rope, and there imbibed the vices and
villainies of the French fchool. He
was capable j and King Jofeph gave
him a comniilTion to promote all in
his power, a icvolutiouary fpirit in
the hpanilh colonies, in favour of
France. He arrived at Havana about
the 1 8th of July from Norfolk ; and,
as the government had previous ad
vice of him, he was immediately fiz*
ed and put into prifon j and luadry
papers evidently thewing his buii ieis
there being found about him, he was,
after leveral days examination and
trial, condemned.
1 his affair has rrade a great noife
at Havana—and the guilt of Pena
was fo apparent, that the fentence
was generally approved of.
A proclamation war* ilfued by the
Governour, exhorting the people, un
der pain of immediate apprehenfion,
to preferve trar.quiiity and order on
the day of the execution, and partic
ularly to refrain from olfering either
infult or injury to the unhappy crim
inal, whole misfortune it was to for
get the facred principles of patriot
ifm, and unite with the enemies of
his country.—AT. T. Gaz.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. T5.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman at
Havana to another An this city% dated
Hatand, July 30, 1810,
Dear Sir.—I have juft witndTed a
fee lie from the upper ftory of my
houle, fo awful and folemn, as almoit
to chill my blood —the execution of
the fentcuce herewith end ihd.
i he )4>uth and appearance of the
prifoner, his folemn acknowledge
tne>.; to the public at the prilon door
of his guilt, and the justice of his
lenience, and his great contrition,
& the decent deportment of all clalf
es ot people through whom lie pall
ed, from the prifon to the place of
execution, made the feene uuiy fol
emn and awful.
J he arrangement made by fhe
Governor on the occaiion, entitles
him to high cred t as it not only
inline J fafety to rite people, but tran
quility to the city. Not an infult
was ottered to the prifoner, and Lb
conduct was futh as to draw down
the pity of afi who fav/ him on hk
rou'e to the place from whence hi- i
took his leave of the world, i here <
are numbers of his allocates row >n
ths L . buce6, and three or iwur i f
th.em hourly expected here, who will
on their arrival lharc a fimilar fate.
The feizure of this deluded young
man and his papers has completely
developed the plans of the traitors in
S. America, as in all the other prov
inces of Spain, and put government
into pofTellion of a iilt of their names,
their emiflirios, their place of refi
dence, to what port or city hound.
I he Carte ttlaticne found in his pcf
fetfion, ilgned by Jofeph, as well as
blank commifTions were burnt under
the gallows, by the public hangman.
It is faid that he had authority to
name and commiiliou all officers in
New-Spain, under a brigidier gener
al, and had wiili him commifTions
for the new Vice Roy and chiefs of
the kingdom.
A fchr. is now getting ready and
will be off in about two hours for
Vera Cruz, with a lift of the names
of the cm flarics already in that king
dom. and the names of all thofe itn
plicntcd by the confdlions or papers
of this unfortunate young man- and
I hope fincerely that mtafurcs will
there be taken in time to avert and
fecure them, before that valuable dc
beautiful count: y is dc.uyed in biood
by their nefarious conduct.
His papers were well fecured in
trunks, made in France orSp*in,for
the exprefs purp fe. without a faife
bottom or having the a pearai-ce of
being thicker than ufuai, hut bv bor
ing were found, and the trunks thfcu
fplit up.
British Treaty.
Tbe Baltimore' Whig, speaking of the ar
rival of Mr. Ewing with important despatch
es from Mr. Pinkney Jot- government, gays—
“ Intelligence had been received, by our go
vemment several xceeksago, that Mr Pinkney
was negociating a Treaty with the British
government. Perhaps the important des
patches alluded to contain it.”
If such a Treaty has arrived, which we
sincerely hope may be me case, vve presume
it will be ascertained in a few days
the answer.
After degrading and disgracing the
United States in the eves of ail the
world, the democrats pile. \sly ask,
IV/iat shall our rulers do to suve u* ?
The answer ought to be—Co- suit the
annuls of the Federal Administration
of Washington. Imitate their firm
ness, Consistency, Honesty, and Im
partial Neutrality. They then raised
their ce uniry from insignificance to
glory, from poverty to wealth, honour,
and respectability. A return of that
policy will yet restore the country
to the acknowledged rank it has
held. _
