COMPARISON OF
ADDISON WITH SHAKESPEARE.
[1?, Dr. Johnson.] l
Addison speaks the language of Poets,
tod Shrtefpeare, of Men. We find in.
Cato innumerable beauties which enam
our as with human fentimeuts or human
actions $ we plrice it with the faireft and
noblest progeny which judgment pro
pagates by conjanAion with learning ;
but Othello is the vigorous and vivacious
offspring of observation impregnated by
genius. Cato affords a Splendid exhi
bition of artificial and Editions manners,
and delivers just and noble sentiments, in
diaion easy, derated, and harmonious;
but its hopes and fears communicate no
vibration to the heart ; the compofnion
refers us only to the writer ; we pro
nounce the name of Cato, but we think
on Addison.„
The competition of Shakefoeare is a
foreft,in which obks extend their branch

Great- Britain is replete with great and

able statesmen ; but she is indebted to
one Superior genius, more than to the
combined efforts of all her talents, for

clouded apprehension, for the noble stand
she is now making against overwhelm
ing France. To EDMUND BURKE
the world is in a great measure indebted
for its present security. He early saw,
with the ken of prophecy, the future
calamities of Europe ; he hastened to
depidure them with the glowing fervor
of exalted genius. He exhausted the
Sources of metaphor, in portraying the
horrid image which had presented itfelf
to his imagination. In Europe, he drew
upon him the pigmy vengeance of in Bat
ed dulnefs ; galled democracy availed
him with her dagger. In America, he
was was laughed at, as a fit fubjed for a
strait waistcoat, and a room in Bedlam ;
but in the end he triumphed. What

choly biftory ; what was high wrought
metaphor, has become naked fa&. The
atrocities of France have equalled even
Burke's vivid colouring.

cruizing at the mouth of the Red Sea,

main body of the lightning passed off at
the capftern and over the quarter boards.
The rain came down in such torrents,
that it has washed much corn and grain
out of the ground that had come up,
and which looked very promising ; es
pecially the grain that was planted on
the declivity of rising grounds, down
whose slopes the water made trenches in
many places, and almost washed small
hills into deep vallies, burying the fpring
jng harvest beneath the heaping earth.
On Thurlday afternoon last, about 4
o'clock, commenced a most tremendous
Thunder Shower, attended with exceed

hail and strong wind. The tempest
raged with unufwal violence for nearly
one hour, during which time the light
ning struck Col. Ladd's new (hip, which
was intirely rigged, ^lmoft loaded with
lumber, &c. and expeaed to fail in two
or three days; it shivered the sore-top
mast into atoms ; then ran down the

burst the iron tire of the capfern ; from

whom, by the name of Akerman, was
killed dead on the foot, the other three
remained fenfeltfs for some time, but we
are happy to hear have since, in a great
measure recovered.
We hear from Rye, that the lightning
struck a pew house, and considerably
damaged the fame. There were several
persons in the house at work, two of
whom were knocked down into the cel
lar, and all of them stunned by the shock.
We are informed by a person from
Newmarket, that the lightning struck a
barn in that town, belonging to Captain
Perkins, and done it considerable dam
age ; and struck several trees in that and
the neighbouring towns.
