ENIGMA
In Jerkin ffiort and nut brown coat I live ;
Pleasure toall and pain to all I give.
Quivers I have, add pointed arrows too;
Gold is my &rt and iron is my bow.
Nothing I read, yet many things I write,
I never go to war, yet alwaya fight.
1 never eat and yet am always full
Poisons from herbs auJfweets from flowr's I cull.
Distorted back I have, and earthen scrip ;
Black is my face and blubber is my lip.
No eyes I have, and yet 1 always weep ;
Sleeping I wake, and waking do I deep.
{Cd# answer to the above is requeued.

CONTENTMENT.
THERE is scarce any lot fb low, but there
is something in it to facisfy the man whom
it has befallen ; Providence having so ordered
things, that in every man's cup how bitter so
ever, there are some codial drops—some good
circbmftances, which, if wifely extracted, are
fufticient for the put pose he wants then:, —that
is, to make him contented, and if not happy at
Icaft resigned.

MR. PEIRCE,
7Le folloiving Cbarader of the French Nation, is
copied from a publication printed twenty-five
years Jince. I <ufb yon to give it a place un
der the bead of your Medley.
The Character of the French Nation.
THE French in general are vain, trifling,
1 changeable, and insincere:
Too vain te approve any but themfclves :
Too trifling to think deeply or a& nobly ;
Too changeable to be capable of true esteem:
Incapable of true friendship, therefore insin
cere.
Their politeness is rude, because troublefomc:
Good natured —felfifh.
Virtue—in theory.
Knowledge—borrowed.
Humanity and liberality — on their lips.,
Courage—in their honor.'
Magnificence—at court.
Strength—in their numbers.
Religion—cloistered.
Riches—in appearance.
Impartiality—not to be found.
Cleaulinefs —no where.
Learning—in a few.
And diflipatiou —in all.
They are
Mifehieroas as apes.
Cunning—As foxes.
False as wolves.
And cruel—as tygers.
As a nation.
Luxurious and effeminate.
Sufpe^ed—by alt
And confided in—by none.
If rich l —you are adored.
Poor—despised.
Diffident—laughed at.
Since:e—deceived
Fran a. late London Paper.
Among fame ladies who came over in the last
—paflage v&l from France, was one dressed in a
green habit, with yellow cuffs and collar, resem
bling a military uniform, who called herfelf
Miss Wade, but who proves to be the wife of
Blackwell, Nipper Tandy's affiliate. She is a
handfi>me young English woman, and at firft
was detained, but the is since released and is
arrived at London. Her husband was in the
French service before the revolution, and She
has the aa of naturalization finned by Louis
XVI. She came from Paris and brought with
her orders to raise the embargo laid on at Cala
is. Through the Secretary of State's Office,
she was allowed to correspond with her hulband.
The dowry of the Princess of Russia, bride
to the Archduke Joseph, Palatinate of Hungary
required 68 waggons to traafport it. It arrived
at Lomberg on the nd iuft. The whole is val
ued at ten million rubles, and the freight to Pest
alone, cost twelve thousand rubles.

Samuel Dille, living 011 Wills-Creek,

wife went in search of two steers which

they heard the distant tingling of cow
bells when Mr- Dille, fappofing it to be

the direction whence the found came,
leaving Mrs. DiUe with the horses and
his gun in charge. In his absence the
Dog treed two young Bears, one of
which Atrs. Dille (hot and loading her
gun WJnnd^d the other so that it fell
from the tree. The Dog feizmg it, its
