From tbe Gazette of tbe United States.
Mr. Wayne —Having heard that
fcveral persons have questioned the
utility of the late Alien Law, I wiffi
to relate an Anecdote. I was yester
day in company with a well looking
Irish emigrant, who told us, that when
he firft went on board ship to embark
for America, in May, '99, he not only
found it too crouded, but there were
many of the moil vicious and. molt
turbulent characters of Dublin, then
on board ; he told this to the Captain,
and with several others, declared they
would not go if those characters were
allowed to accompany them. On which
the Captain expostulated at firft, but
finding us resolute, he said he would
contrive a plan to set matters right;
he accordingly ordered the mate to
read the Alien-Law to all the paflen
gers on the main deck—when after a
few moments we found those obnox
ious men in a terrible passion, swearing
they had rather Ray at home and be
hanged, than to go to any ether coun
try, where they might be liable to be
called to an account, and sent home at
a moment's warning. In short those
obnoxious characters and those only left
us to enjoy a fafe and happy patfage to
our present home in the United States.

THERE is scarce any lot so low,

Providence having so ordered things,
that in every man's cup how bitter fo

fome good circumstances, which, if
wifely extracted, are fufficient for the
purpose he wants them, —that is, to
make him contented, and if not happy
at least resigned.
Honfy is tbe bfi Policy.
Mr. Mellish, of London, lately gave a poor
fellow 401. and fettled on him an annuity of
fol. for picking up his pocket-book, containing
about 19,0001. and honestly running after him
