DIALOGUE between the three cele
brated traitors Arnold,La Favetie, and
Dumourier,—from Lc Courier de U
Lune, a French paper of July 12.
/Irnold. You deceive yourfelf, Marquis,
as well as me ; and your fault comforts me.
Did you expedl t« be happy in betraying
your nation ?
Marquis Not at all ; I never meant to
betray my country ; but I had taken an
oath to which I would remain faithful.
Dumourier. Gentlemen, speak not o!
treason, that is not the proper term ; as I
am of the triumvirate, I make use of my
right, and tell you, that you had nothing
in view but your own interest. Of what
importance to a warrior is the name of the
sovereign he serves ; he fliould never un
(heath his sword, 'till the lalt of the of
fertrs has pulled out his purse, and mea
sured his fa-vices »o the weight of the
go'd it contains.
La Fayeite Though in a degree culpa
ble, those principles were never mine ;
but I could never retift the tears ot madan
Elizabeth, the young prince and princess,
nd still much less the tender proofs oj
friendjhip I have repeatedly experienced ir
:he queen's arms. But, Arnold, what
ivas your reason ?
Arnold. I never had any ; I believe 1
was crazy; when I recoiled the tender as
Fe&ions of the Americans, the tears flou
from my eyes, and my bleeding heart
leaves in my mind but the t»idhire oftht
unfortunate Andre, whom I cauied to be
massacred.
Dumourier. What a weak mind dor;
:bis man polh fs. Arnold! Arnold ! yot
tay that you have commanded ?
Arnold. Y ts, unfortunately, and bravt
foldters-
Dumourier. Who then caused you tc
abandon your country ?
Arnold. Alas 1 the loss of good sense,
lie flattt rv and promiles of the Britif!
:ourt, the intrigue of several members oi
;he Conprefs,that I never had the ftrengtl
:o unmalk, so certain I was then of refili
ng their perfidy.
La Fayette. Your fate, Arnold, is to bt
pitted ; but mine—fincc I quitted my ar
my I believe an inf»rn 1 power attends
me every where. Those brave toldrers,
ivho loved tne so much, who cariied tnt
n triumph 011 their shoulders to the fron
-iers of the en my ; that brave nation,
ivhich had for me such unbounded affec
:ion, which would have ere&ed altars foi
me, and which now detests me, are to m(
it present a spring of all evils. Alas !
lupport me ; 1 fink under the weight o:
my griefs.
Dumourier. Young warrior, your deli
racy betrays your chara&er; and I forgive
you on account of your youth ; but you
Arnold! for (hame! don't you know
-hat warriors, like Us, rrfque all with thcii
leeks ? recoiled! that it is neceflary for u:
:o fubrnit to our fate with cduragr, arte
:vtr to calculate oil it before hand in eafc
if misfortune. For my part # I gave goor
ecurity to a bad efoance on the bank ol
London. The (ladtholder, prince Co
>ourg and Mr. Pitt, did so much, and of.
et ed so much, that my warlike log it
:ould not refill their powerful yellow ar
guments.
La Fayette. If my nation would take
ny life for the pledge of my repentance,
f would at lead die happy.
Arnold. IfArrterica but alas!
vho would have any any thing to do with
o consummate a traitor.—Had I perished
tt the battle of Saratoga, or at Qiiebec,
ny memory would have been ever grateful
:ot!ie Americana, and I llvould have been
:ternally celebrated in the oratiitos songs,
md toalts of their leftive days- But my
-arly merits are sWallowed up in the greJt
ibvfs of my after treafou : How easy is it
for a man to outlive his popularity I and
Irow mu h do We wrong fortune when-we
tuppofe that (lie is alwas inimical to a war
rior when ihe direfis the cannon or mu!-

Reflections on feveralfuhjdls.
I THE blockheads and knaves of this
world (and they arc a vast majority of the
world) have got things-into such a train,
that the feeret how to get rich seems tc,
lie among themlelves only ; and the fayin
is almolt proverbial—" Such a fellow lias
a very thick head—bn sense enough, how
ever, to make money." Look at numbers
of individuals, we could ]«oint out : How
dull upon every liberal fubjefi ! Stupor
«jnd iufipidity pervade everj idea; aod
yoii would think the god of dalltief. him-
Ic-If was operating upon their understand-
Kigs while any literary topic is difcufling ;
but let money be made the theme, and the
congenial foul of sympathy inftantlv a
wakens from its numbers—and becomes
eloquent on a theme whkh it finds per
feftly conijnant to its ideas and nature.
2. Poetry may be reckoned a declining
m. Ever iincc the ages of fable have dif
appeared it has ! een gradually losing
'round, and as the world advances towards
Jniverfal republicanif.a the ideas of man
nd become prosaic. Even in monarchies
poetry is now at a low ebb and not even
t"ic splendid favours of nobility, or the
countenance of the monarch, can iufpire
trains beyond tame mediocrity. Pociical
panegyrills are at present every win re des
pised, and in proportion as principles su
persede attachment to men, they will be
jomc more ai.d more detelled. Real po
ttry> however, will one day have its refur
cction; buc its profeffors will no longer
be court sycophants, or miserable depen
dents upon what are called tf c great
-1 lie republican virtues will be their great
eft theme, and the promotion of gooJ
will, peace, and friendA ip among mankind
their mainobjeft, instead of singing the
bloody battles, and reheaifing the military
praises of crown 'd murderers. It may be
"bfeived, that poetiy is r.ot to the genetal
tafle of Americans. They have too much
cool refle&ion to be amtifed bv trifles, t!,e
monotony of metre, and the' jingling of
rhymer-. Every po.t must look with a
jealous eye oil the diversions of the circus ;
and it was with some pain- I have obser
ved that the fineft morality and molt ele
vated r.mufements of the theatre have been
frequently for the equestrian en
tertainment of the heels, and the monkey
tricks of clowns and rope dancers!
