NATIONAL ETHICS.
EXTRACTS
From the Speech of Governor ] AY,to the Legfature
of Newyork.
"You will, I am persuaded, join with
me, in deeply regretting that the topic
which naturally rises firft into view 011
this occasion, is' the afflicting and unex
pected death of that virtuous and great
man, who both in the field and in the
cabinet, in public and in private,attend
ed such m i uncommon degree of merit
ed esteem, confidence and admiration.
His memory will be cherished by the
wife and good of every nation ; and
truth, triumphing over her adversaries,
will transmit his char &er to posterity
in all its genuine luftre. His excellent
example, and excellent admonitions,Bill
remain with us ; and happy will that
people be, whose leaders imitate the
one and observe the other. But pain
ful and important as our loss is, and
difficult as it may be to retrain the ef
fufions of our fenlibility, yet it is to be
recollected that the duties and business
for which we are assembled, have indis
pensable claims to our attention. Let
us therefore proceed to fulfil those duties,
and to do that business with the like
laudable fidelity, circumfpe&ion and
diligence, by which that real & eminent
patriot was so greatly distinguished."
**************'& *****
" Although the great and national
affairs of war and peace do not belong
to our jurisdiction, yet such i§ their im
portance to our immediate welfare, and
so great would be our danger if any
fallacious profpe&s of peace should mis
lead us into a state of ill founded secu
rity, that the very judicious and season
able remarks of our patriotic President
on this fubjed, cannot be too generally
known, nor too strongly impressed. He
reminds us that "at a period, like the
present, when momentous changes are
occurring, and every hour is preparing
new & great events in the political world,
when a spirit of war is prevalent in al
molt every nation, with whose affairs
the interests of the United States have
any connexion, unfafe and precarious
ivould be our situation, were we to neg
led the means of maintaining our just
rights." From the fame high and re
fpedable authority we are given to un
derhand that under exiftmg circum
stances, " nothing short of the power of
repelling aggreflions, will secure to cur
country a rational profped of escaping
the calamities of war," or (what would
be hill more calamitous)" national de
gradation.—The measures which have
been taken, pursuant to ads of this hate
relative to those fubjeds, shall be men
tioned in a future communication ; and
it is evident from the preceding observ
ation, that our attention to them is not
to be relaxed."

CURE FOR A COUGH, &c.
AN excellent remedy for a cough, and con
sumptive complaints.
Take as much Fervid as will make a quart
of ftroDt tea, an equal quantity of Coltsfoot and
boarbound, three ounces of the root of Elecam
pane, and a small quantity of Rae, put them into;
five pints of pure water, boil them until the li-!
quor is reduced to one quart, then put into it [
two pounds of clean heavy fngar, then boil it|
until it becomes so thick that when cold it will
be hard as loaf sugar. Take a small piece into
the mouth and gradually melt and swallow it,
often in the day or night, as the patient shall
find it convenient."
This medicine has relieved many, and reftcr
ed those who were so much reduced as to be
beyond any hope, and viewed near dissolution.
BUONAPARTE.
The following description is extracted from
a new work of Mercier's, ill fix volumes, called
Le Nouveau Paris.
" Os the numerous Portraits of Buonaparte,
one only is like him. Hinfelin's, —I will also
take my graver, or rather (for in speaking of
such a man I should be niodeft) my crayon.
" Buonaparte is of a middle size, rather stoop
ing, fmall,of a delicate make,but full of nerve ;
his hair of a deep chefnut colour, covers part of
his full forehead ; his eyes are large, dark,
and lively ; his nose aquiline, his chin turned
Up like the Apollo of Belvidere ; his complexion
pale, his cheeks funk, his voice clear and free;
he lifters attentively to those who speak to him,
and returns an answer in a few words ; his air
is grave, but open ; he has not the austerity that
characterizes the head of Brutus; at firft fight
we fee that he is temperate and thinking but
tenacious in the end that he proposes ; that his
pale complexion becomes animated in decisive
actions ; that he is indefatigable and quick as
lightning against an enemy, whom he never
stars; this fire is concentrated, and he reserves
it for grand ahd important exploits, yet it does
not give to any of his movements that restlessness
natural to men who are only lively, and who
have no felf poffeflion."
