to oommvmorate that day when our fathers
stank off the chains of subjection, and to
offer to the Almighty a tribute of praise
lor our LiBUtTY and ,in'dlpendkncb.*~
The citisensof this town will on this joy
ful anniversary assemble and Celebrate
the birth-day of freedom with unusual
splendour and pa triotick zeal. We have
never witnessed such universal fervour-to
give life and animation to the day. The
military will appear unusually splendid,
and the civil procession unusually nume
rous. * We canjsot hut exhort our fellow-
°ls such the case at this day In any
state o£ the union h—lf it is, happy may
that state be said to be, atsd long may it
continue to be so, but that it is not so gene
rally throughout tbe union is, we fear, too
true. Self and not our country, to the

of lax morals;' by forwarding the election

pnintment, but if —to elected, I mist
work at my trade or occupation, and give

exertion then shall be made for the for

As wonderful as it may appeftVto ©th
readers, the following correct sentimehts
are actually copied from the Aurora of
Friday. They tarnish some favourable in
dication that the fra ©t ick Colonel is re
covering the sanity ol bis intellect*. We
congratulate him on the event; and hope
•hat in future, we may find in his paper, in
stead of the ravings of a madman, the judi
cious reflections of a sound and sober mind
•• We were formerly in the habit of in
quiring into the character of the person to
whom we gave our suffrage, whether for
Member ©f%s*embly or Me'mber of Con
gress ; a fair moral character, with talents
and as would qualify him
for the station, were thought essentially
necessary; fgr the Govemour of a state
we looked for great abilities and great
moral honesty. * ’ • '
** Permit me to lay before you sous* In
formation respecting Mung®Park which I
was favoured with from an intelligent Ma
homedan, whom I met at Goree, and who
had acted as a guide to Mr. Park, from the
time of his landing on the continent of Af
-ica, to his embarkation on the Niger. Hr
states, that the King of Sego had shown
much favour to Mr. Park, and that the re
port of his assassination there was untrue
He had passed far along the Niger, with
out any molestation whatever, from the na
tives. My informant could nbt recollect
ihe date of his embarkation on the Niger,
but thinks it must be about three years
ago. Mr.,Park had taken four months
provisions for himself and two followers,
with whom he intended to proceed to the
eastward, and onwards as far at the Red
Sea. Some travellers whd had fallen in
with his guide, informed him, that about
two or three months subsequent to Mr.
Park’s embarkation, he had been severely
scorched in his breast by the bursting of a
gun while firing at some birds, but that he
passed Tombuetoo, in the night by water.**
The boats of otir squadron in Quiberon

The Princeee Amelia, (youngest daugh
ter of the King, born In 1783.) was in a
very critical state last night. The accounts
from Windsor stated, that her Royal
Highness was much worse than on the pre
ceding day, and that no further hopes were
entertained." The whole Court wfere
overwhelmed with affliction on. her situa
tion ; and she is constantly attended by the
Princess Mary, and hie Majesty. ,
MUATGcT PARK.
• We have the satisfaction to com mint*
rate the very pleasing intelligence of the
safety of Mr. Mungo Park, whose supposed
lon, hit family, his friends, and his coun
try have sincerely, bat. prematurely de
plored for several years. The event was
considered so certain, that a pension was
voted to Mrs. Park, by the House of Com
mons, in consideration of her husband’s
publick services, in a former session of Par
liament. This gentleman, as our readers
will recollect, has been long and usefully
engaged in exploring the interioor of Afri
ca, and a sanguine hope may be now en
tertained that his country will have the
benefit of hia laborious and hazardous re
searches. The whole of the suite attach
ed to the enterprise, above'fifty in nurnbei
with the exception of three, are said to
have perished, The intelligence to which
we allude, and which we hope soon to find
fully confirmed, has been received by the
ship Favourite, nf London, Captain Tru
man, arrived at Plymouth, from Goree.—
Previous to the departure of that vessel,
information had been received at Senegal
by a native of the Mandingo country, wife
accompanied Mr. Park, as far into the in
teriour as ,Sego and Sansanding, shat he
was alive in the month of January. Colo
nel Maxwell, the Governour of Senegal,
had, in consequence of this information,
directed that a. decked boat should imme
diately be fitted out to proceed up the river
Senegal, tor the purpose of giving assis
tance to Mr. Park in his indefatigable ex
ertions in exploring the continent of Africa.
This account is further corroborated by n
letter dated in March last, received by a
vessel from Sierra Leona, from Dr. Doug

Our readers, while perusing the above
extract, will recollect the proud period of
our national existence, when,,under the
administration of the great Washington,
the people were in the habit of inquiring
into the character of the person to whom
they gave their suffrages, ° whether for a
member of assembly or a member of Con
grosswhen “ a fair moral character,
with talents and information, such as would
qualify for the station, were thought essen
tially necessary and when, “ for tbo
governour of a state we looked for great
abilities and great moral honesty.** Such
indeed, were once the good habile of out*
countrymen. That happy period, it is
much to be apprehended, has gone by for
ever. How sad is the reverse of'things at
the present day I “ New” and incorrect
“principles” have been embraced, and
“ new” and incorrect ” habits” formed.
The people have wandered from the good
old way, into the devious by-paths of im
morality and corruption. They have for
gotten those maxims of prudence and vir
tue which established our independence
and raised our Country to a pre-eminent
rank among the nations of the world ; and
have adopted others of a very different
tenour, which will, if not soon abandoned,
inevitably subvert our liberties and destroy
our notional character.
The Editor of the Aurora is certainly
correct in viewing the present state of
things as serious and alarming, and in pro
nouncing it •• the duty of every individual
cn exert himseiP* to correct the evil. We
join with him in urging the great body of
'he people to ” drop* little of selfish [nar
row, party] consideration tor the honour
md dignity of their country.” With him,
we thihk, that, bad as times are, we have
it much in our power to change them for
the betterand we cordially unite with
him in the belief, that to tn tike the times
better, »• it is necessary [is the first step]
to change some of our new principles and
debits for our old ones.”—-A*. F. Spectator.
Tax approaching Anniversary of Ame
rican Independence is at hand. This day
is aot apart by*ll true Americans, and by
common consent, that their children, ap
prentices, clerks and workmen may par
take of the amusements.
It is the wish of a majority of the Citi
sens of this town,' that aZZ, all may conae
crate this day tori.KA.svns.
For this purpose we beg leave, through
•nd govenmd M tUy wUhJ can any
change be made for the better If there
can, it is thdlr duty to do It, and the duty of
every individual to exert himself; drop i>

troublesome, by applying in season at my
Room, at the house of Mr. Shubael Ca

may have immediate relief.
13th. Sometimes a dose of physick would
be proper after vaccination, on that ac*
count every one should be examined once
after the pustule is dried up. •
Those who shad be inoculated at the
Town-H« use on the 2d and 3d days of July,

10th. The vaccinated arm should never
have a bandage on it, but hept cool and

inoculated to eome to one of the public.k
places of inoculation several times to be
examined before they ret through the

2d. Be very earefill of rubbing or scratch
ing the arm or shoving up tight sleeves.
3d. Let no person wh<v is nova proper
judge of the Vaccine Matter, attempt to
vaccinate himself or any other person : It
would be setting a snare for one’s own life,
lor experience teaches that the matter is
not always good even on tha eighth day.
4th. Women who do house work, should
avoid washing and baking, or any other
very laborious wotk, on the seventh, eighth
and ninth days, the usual time for the
symptoms, ‘
sth. No danger of inoculating all irt a
family together ; for as the symptoms fre
quently vary one, two, or three days, and
although they were all inoculated together,
it would not be probable that they would
all feel the symptoms at the same time.
6ih. Daily expei ience teaches that wo
men may be vaccinated with safety in all
circumstances, at home or when travelling
by land or sea. 1
7th. No danger of vaccinating children
at the period of teething.
Blh. Parents, Schoolmasters, and Mis
tresses, Nurses and Servants, who handle*
Children, should keep' it in mind not to
take hold or lift them by’their arms, or
even to take hdd uhder thtitbirms would
not be safe. Vaccinated infants should
always be lifted by putting one 'hand un
derneath them, and the other round the
body.
