ALSO,
As we have repeatedly in this book of
Proverbs been warned against the seduc
tions of bid women ; there is a peculiar
propriety in its concluding with the cha
racter and commendations of a virtuous
woman; for the confutation of such, as in
discriminately censure the sex. In the fall
en state of human nature, it is no wonder,
that but few, either men or women, are in
any good measure what they ought to lie ;
and various causes concur in rendering wo
men what th*g ought not to b«. But it la of
vast importance that a standard Should be
fixed, by which all, who regard the word
of God, may estimate the intrinsick value
of the female character. Borne there are
to be found, who in a good degree answer
this description ; yea, many daughters have
done virtuously ; every one of them is far
more valuable than >ubies, and happy is he
to whom the Ijord gives such a prize.—
Whilst his heart safely trusts in her, she
will do him good, as long as she liveth ;
and conduce to his comfort, interest, credit
and safety from snares and temptations.
But when we carefully consider this stand
ard of femenine excellency, in which con
jugal fidelity, economy, industry, cheerful
attention to household affiirs, and tn the
good government of servants and education
of children, with a regard to the interests
of her husband, are united wiri* chari
ty, piety, wisdom and the fear of God ; in
which avarice and extravagance are equally
avoided, and the due distance is preserved
bet wixt pmurhusness and waste, betwixt
ostentation and slovenly neglect; and in
which no mention is made of time spent in
those vain amusements and decorations,
which seem the only business of the multi
tude ; but the whole life is emploved, and
the thoughts and conversation occupied
about the duties to be performed to God
and man ; I say, when this character is
well considered, and contrasted with the
admired and accomplished females around
us; must lie impressed with sur
prise and lead to many interesting inquiries.
Numbers in the different ranks of lite may
be found, any where, except in their own
families, or in the house of God; they are
adorned with every thing, except wisdom
and grace: They affect to k’uow many
things, but would not even be thought to
understand those which are the proper
duties of their station. Nay, they leave
even their own offspring to the care of mer
cenaries, that they may be totally disen
gaged, and at liberty for vanity and dissi
pation ! But which of the two characters is
most amiable, rational, or useful f Which
is the beet fitted for the important duties of
a wife and mother t Indeed, the matter ad
mits not a question. At first glance we per
ceive how much ancient simplicity excelled
modern refinement ; and how far the wis
dom of God’s word surpasses the devices
of men ! We cannot but lament, that the
modern education of females is such, a>
seems intended to form them useless triflers,
.fit only to be gased Upon, or made subser
vient to amusement and pleasure. And
how can they, who spend the bight in dissi
pation, tbs moro ; ng in sleep, ar4 tliqevon-

How acute, oh ! how poignant tho smart.
Who finds, when misfortunes disturb his re-

That his friend has a treacherous heart.

when they review a life so wretchedly

Friday, 23d November, 181 u.
By intelligence from Badajoz of the 3d
instant, it appears that Ballesteros left
Olivenca yesterday wijji his division for
Xereside los Caba Jeros, to which place
it is said that 2000 French, who had
marched from Zafrs, had proceeded.
The French at present occupy the plain*
situate between the Moodego and the Vou
ga; they have not left any corps in Beira
Atta; their communication with Spain t*
now cut off, as well by the peasantry al
ready freed from the enemy, as by the
corps of militia commanded by General*
Bacellar and Silveira. Their supplies, not
only of provisions, but also of ammunition,
are interrupted, and they must fight with
what they have brought with them. It i*
not yet known, with accuracy, what wa*
their effective force ; some accounts make
it 50, others 55.000 men ; but that which
appear* most authentick, states, that the
force, with which the French entered Por
tugal, was exactly 60,000 men. It is cer
tain that they lost in the battle of Busace
Inore than 2000 killed, and supposing the
number of their wounded to be oeiy four
times as great, which io truth is a very
low calculation, for aa well iu ths British
as in the Portuguese army, the number of
the wounded was five times that of the kill
ed, they must have had 8000 wounded, sU
that their total lose certainly exceed*
10,000; we know nothing of the number of
their sick j that is usually in an army eu
a march 1-7 or 1-8 of the whois number,
and the particular circumstances, in which
the French army has been, must have aug
mented that proportion.—Whatever wa*
the original number of thme whoentereff,
jhere cab be no doubt but that the French
have now in the short period of 15 days*
16, or 16,000 combatant* term.
The enemy having taken warning by the
reception which the combined army gaee
them on the memorable 271 h of September,
on which day they left more than 2000 dead
upon the field of battle, with an immense
number of wounded whom they, barbarous
ly abandoned, endeavoured tn go round ouf
positions by crossing by Mort igoa towards
Sardao, and then turning to the Southward,

ce.->sively receiving, byt because Muh sen a
is continually involved in new difficultiea,
having his communication with Beira cut
off, losing men every day by the fatigues of
the campaign, and suffering a thousand in
conveniences from the want of supplies.—
The tried valour of the allied troops and
the bad condition of the enemy, which be
comes worse every day, makes us hope for
the most happy results. French audacity
will pay dear for having penetrated tho
territory of Portugal.
