ILLUSTRIOUS prtriot ! enlighten
ed citizen of the world ! for such
flill thou art, as such thy name is en
graven on our hearts, as such recorded
on the rolls of immortality.—When
we saw France convulsed by parties,
we rejoiced and we trembled ;—re
joiced because we still found thee lead
ing where glory called, and where
wisdom pointed out the way.-=Ardent
in the cause of liberty, but guided by
prudence. We trembled left thy mo
deration should draw on thee the re
sentment of factions struggling for
faperiority, burning with enthusiasm,
and burning forth against each other,
with the violence of rage. Long we
saw thee amidff many tempests, ride
clear of the rocks which surrounded
thee orievery fide. Still thou waft
Fayette ; and though France, for whom
thou waft ready to ffied the last crim
fin drdp from thy veins, calls thee
traitor-- though (he has driven thee
into the hands of despots—though ty
rants regardless of the laws of nations
confine thee in prisons and immure
thee in caftles* of slavery ; still thou
art he who bleeding with us in the
cause of freedom, endeared thyfelf to
the citizens of America —still in the
land of princes, in the dominions of
monarchs, none ia' seen great as thy
felf, and in the land of heroes, thou
haft left none thy rival. We hope
with thee that France repelling the
hosts of foes which rulh against her
which pour into her fertile fields,
may not need thy service—we hope
that (he may soon welcome the to'
a land of peace and freedom ;-~-we
troft that thou wilt vet rife foperior to
misfortunes, and ffiitte more bright
when the clouds of adversity are dis
pelled—we know our wishes would
waft thee to our shores, and our hearts
welcome the to our bosoms—we
know that poftcrity will admire thy
virtues, and future ages venerate thy
name.

The miser's plenty breeds his care."
If but in woods and silent fields
My wounded heart relief can find,
Yet solitude but fuel yields
To th' anguish that" inflames my
mind.
Our friends eftrang'd, on love that's
fled,
My pining fancy ever dwells ;
The joy a moment's fun may shed,
The fame returning grief repels.
Yet not in crowds of noisy towns,
Not in the din of busy trade,
Not where the wreath of Bacchus
crowns,
Where folly's in her bells array'd ;
Not in such feenes the mournful breast
Can hope exemption from its woe ;
There pallid cheeks, sighs scarce sup-

"QJRE ! God by whom all Kings

perfect images on this earth, I has cho
sen your Majefly to reeftablilh our
unfortunate monarch upon his throne,
and to restore to his crown, as well as
to <1 France, its ancient fplendour.
The frontiers, and the conquered
towns always re-echo with the found
of yoar glorious exploits : This town
(Verdun) rather unfortunate than cul
pable, having now shaken off the re
bel-yoke, pays homage to your valour
by opening its gates and receiving
your laws—yes, Sire, we glory in ac
knowledging ourselves the most faith
ful fubjeds of our good king, and we
will confider that day as the happiest
of all our lives, which by means of
your triumphant army ihall restore to
us our princes, our priests, and our
brave emigrants. From our great
example, all the towns and provinces
of the kingdom, to the capital itfelf,|
mail fall prostrate at the feet of bur|
most virtuous sovereign—all France
will unite , with us in rendering theei
submission and obedience, the refped[
and love due from the fubjeftto the
monarch ; and at the simple mention,
of the name of Frederick wil-।
LIAM, at the mere report of his vic
torious arms—ill France shall submit
and acknowledge the justice of the
cause he befriends ; which is the caufe।
of God, himfelf—of that God by
whom Kings reign—a common cause
between the sovereign and the people,
whose mutual regards must alone con
stitute their mutual happiness !
Convey then, most puissant mon
arch, convey to Louis the affections of
those faithful citizens who are forev
er devoted to his service—you have
gained our hearts by your most amia
ble qualities, and by the ineffable
w fdom which presides over your
councils, and which directs your glo
rious enterprizes, Mighty monarch,
who art come to break our chains, and
to restore us to real liberty, deign to
receive from us the most refpedful
tokens of submission, the homage of
affeaion, admiration, and eternal
gratitude. Our churches arid our
walls shall resound with adoration to
that Deity who protests us—and it
shall be enjoined upon our latest pos
terity to extol to the ikies the glorious
name of the great, the conquering,
the immortal Frederick William, the

On PROFANE SWEARING.
AS there are some vices
which the vulgar have
presumed to copy from the
great, so there are others which
the great have condefeended to
copy from the vulgar. Among
these 1 cannot but set down the
terrible practice, of curling and

wellbred lips, and the lame ex-

An easy Method to take W 00l
off Sheep or Lamb Skins
without damaging the Skins.
TAKE about a handful of
flacked lime, mix it with
water, and put over the fcffi of
the skin ; than fold the ftin to
gether, and let it lay until the
wool comes off, which will be
in a (bort time ; then pull the
wool, and hang the fl<in out
straight across a pole, under
cover from the fun, until you
fend it to the Tanner.- Or,
fpon after the skin is taken off,
fafhioned creatures, who adhere
to their common acceptation, it
would be proper to fubfiitute
iome other unmeaning terms in
their room, and at the fame
time remote from the vulgar
curling and swearing. A Wor

used the words Bottle and Glass,
inllead of the usual expletives
of God,Devil, and Damn, which
he did not think quite so be
coming for one of his cloth to
make free with. The fame
plan might, I imagine, be pur
sued by every one, whenever
they are obliged to have recourse
to the like fubfitutes for
thought. Bottle and Glass
might be used with great ener
gy in table talk : The gamester
might be indulged in (wearing
by the Knave of clubs, or the
curse of Scotland, or he might
with tome propriety retain the
old execration of deuce take it :
the beau might (wear " by his
gracious felt," which is the god
of his idolatry ; and the com

fliould confitt only of upon my
word, or upon my honor ; which,
whatever sense they might for
merly bear, are at present un
derstood as only words of
course without meaning. A. B.

weight either with the beau

Swearer of either Nation devotes
himfelf piece-meal (as it were)
to deftruflion , pours out an
athemas against his eves, his
heart, his foul, and every part
of his body ; and extends the
fame good wiihes to the limbs
and joints of his friends and
acquaintance: this they both
do with the fame fearlefs un
concern ; but with this differ
ence only, that the gentleman
swearer damns himfelf and o
thers with the greatest civility
and good breeding imaginable.
I know it will be pleaded in
excuse for this practice, that
Oaths and Curses are intended
as mere expletives,to fill up and
