The Humorist.
A FEW Sundays ago, a clergyman
preaching in the neighborhocxi of
Wapping, observing that most part
of the audience were in the feafaring
way, very naturally embellished hit
difeourfe with federal nautical tropes
and figures. Among ocher things,
he advised them to lx ever on tbs

drotJbQ bear drat Ipm them, he
light be erippled in aHion. " Aye
matter, (cried a jolly son of Neptune)
but let me tell you, that will depend
upon your having the wtatogup of
NOBODY.
A LADY of fafhion, dressed in
to prefect life is, literally
;freaking, nobody ; and, strange
to tell, the full-grown Misses,
naturally prone, as we might
suppose, to Matrimony, seem not
to have anybody. It is prelurri
ed, however, that this determin
ation will not last long, and that,
by next winter, at fartheft, ma
ny of them will have /ome-body.
Miscellany.
From the Impartial Herald.
MR. BLUNT,
You have obliged the public in general and a friend
in particular, by publijhiog a number of bifter
ica!falls in,our u/cjul paper-if you tbiuk the
following deforces a,lace in the Herald, plcafe
to insert it.
AT a time when France is mak
ing so confpicious a figure in
the world, it is really aftor'lhing to
fee how much hat been fed, and
what pains have been taken on the
other fide of the water, to blacken the
character 'of the French, at being
guilty of crimes, cruelties and barba
rities, unheard of in any chriftian na
tion.
The English papers are full of fuels
charges, and most of the members of
the British Parliament, who have spo
ken in favor of the prefect war, have
inferred in their speeches some horrid
description of French barbarity ; and
it is to be feared they have been echo
ed too much in Americas How far
a relation of some of the great events
which have taken place in the Eng
lish arid French nations within these
two hundred and 50 years may tend
to set the matter in a just light, will
appear, by stating a fort of an account
between the two nations The wars
of the red and white rose, which del
uged England with the blood of so
many of her kings, nobility, and fub
je&i for an hundred years, may be
set against similar troubles in France.
—We (hall begin with charging the
French with the massacre of Paris, in
1572, and a dreadful carnage it was,
where so many thonfands were mur
dered through the influence of a vio
lent party, and by the express order
of the king—To balance which, we
must go a Tittle back to the fires of
Smithfield, kindled op by the piew
Mary ; there is a difference between
the fcem ; in one, it was the ad of
a day—in the other, the fires were
burning a whole reign—but as the
numbers bear no proportion, we will
put into the scale the massacre in
Ireland of 40,000, by which a large
balance of cruelty will appear 00 the.
fide of Greatbritain—To return to
France, we have seen a king besieg
ing the capital city of his kingdom,
which contained at the time some
hundred thousands of fouls, and when
reduced to the greatest extremities,
we have seen the fame king permit
all kinds of provifioos to be sent in
to their relief $ and this during the
siege. On the other fide, we have
seen a king of England besieging
London- Derry until the garrison was
reduced one half, and the remainder
obliged to feed on horses, dogs, cats,
rats, and rotten hides ; and because
they would not surrender, then to or
der hit army to drive all the inhabit
ants within thirty miles round (with
out any diftinaion of age or sex) to
perish under the walls at the city, in
fight of their wretched friends within.
We have seen this fame gracious king
while on the throne, after he had re
duced the duke of Monmouth, feaft
ing his eyes at his execution, which
was peculiar!, hoirid , and then in his
clemency fend the most merciful lord
chief justice „%, and the humane
Col. Kirk, the one to condemn, the
other to execute the prifoneri taken in
the dukft affair ; and the dispatch
with which they executed their com
missions deserves to be remembered,
for in a few weeks above 500 perfoos
were hanged, one half of whom were
drawn and quartered ; great numbers
were condemned without even the
form of a trial—the case of Colonel
Penraddeck is well known ; many
women were condemned for giving
shelter to the soldiers without know
ing to which party they belonged—
and to finish this feene of British hu
manity, this generous pair, at a great
entertainment, ordered thirty con
demned prisoners to be hanged in
fight before their doors to heighten
the joys of the feaft, and as they were
turned off by decades, drank a health
to each in a bumper.
1° r 745$ 8 rebellion (as it was call
ed) broke out in Scotland, which the
battle of Culloden put an end to—
feveral of the principal leaders were
taken and executed, and their heads
fa upon Templebar, where some of
them remained more than twenty
years $ a species of barbarity towards
prifonere taken in battle, unheard of
except in England. The soldiers
taken with arms were hanged with
out ceremony, and when the British
troops were tired with pursuing the
fugitives, they hunted them down
with dogs, as if they were in chafe of
beasts of the sorest. The American war is
within our own time, generosity and hu
manity were not the most striking traits in
the charader of the British while in America,
and it is generally believed that the hiftory
of Europe, for 400 years past, does not af
ford so many instances of unprovoked, wan
ton ads of cruelty towards prisoners, as the
British were guilty of during the American
war. The cruelties charged to the French
at the present day, are of that kind which al
ways attend great revolutions. France so a
great nation struggling for her rights, or in
other words, a free people striving to qrufh
tyrants.
The cruelties perpetrated in England, have
been those of tyrants ordering their own
fubjeds, either by their own immediate ads,
or by equal powers granted, to their savage
minions.
It is presumed no one will dispute the a
bove related fads ; they are too well authen
ticated ; but upon a fair enauiry and candid
examination, will be led to find a large bal
ance of cruelty and barbarity to be charged
to the English, which for the honor of hu
man nature, their own credit, and to make
some reparation for injuries done, it is to be
hoped they will be induced, since it is the
with of a great majority of the nation, to pay
it over to their neighbors the French, in kind
offices of friendfhip and humanity.
