friendship of such powerful tribes, even
upon principles of policy, is well worth
cultivating. Tne value of their
friendship is to be estimated by the
expence of their enmity, independent of
the di,race attendant upon the injustice
of attempting to deprive them of their
lands against the faith of the United
States, Itipulafed by solemn treaties.
SINCE the battle of Ifmail, cr rather
since the 30,180 murders of men,
women, and children ; the besiegers and
their countrymen, are universally called
Ruffians.
Ifmail is only 36 leagues from Conftat
tinople, the metropolis of an Empire,
which,under a free and w4l poised Con
stitution and wife administration, would
be worth 100 Black, White, and Red
Ruffians put together.
A dead Emperor or Empress, is worth
no more than the meanest corpse among
the mountains of mangled bodies in the
fortrefs of Ifmail, And an imperial
fceptre iri another world is not worth
one single mite.

*[Mr. Payne has however, omitted a
fifth article of the Norman's propofol. He
offered to rule us on every low terms, as
cheap at any body.) r
. MR. PAINE;
In bis reply to Mr. Burke, tells the fol
lowing Anecdote of Dr. Franklin.
WHILE the Doctor resided in France,
as Minister from America, during the
war, he had numerous proposals made
to him by projectors of every country
arid of every kind, who wished to go to
the land supposed to flow with milk and
honey, America, and among the rest,
there was one that offered himfelf to be
King ! He introduced his proposal to
the Doftor by letter, which is now in
the hands of M. Beaumarchais, of
Paris—stating, firft, that as the Ameri
cans had difinified or sent away (renwoye)
their King, they would want another.
Secondly, that himfelf was a Norman.
Thirdly, that he was of a more ancient
family than the Dukes of Normandy,and
of a more honourable defeent, his line
had never been battardized. Fourthly,
that there was already a precedent in
England of Kings coming out of Nor
mandy ; # and on these grounds he rested
his offer enjoining that the Dodor
would forward it' to America. But as
the Dodor did not do this, nor yet fend
him an answer, the projeftor wrote a
alarming nature. That four of the Prin
ces of the empire,who have poffeflions in
France, viz. The Duke de Deux-Ponts,
Prince Maximilien, .Duke de Wirtem
berg, and the Prince de Linange, had
agreed to negotiate for the proteaion of
themselves and property; "Finally,"
fays the Minister, "although not dire&-
ly conneded with the public tranquility
I chink it my duty to mention what has
passed with refpeft to the Ambaffadours

ty's order, 1 have demanded the oath
enjoined by the constitution. I have

the oaths of all those who have font them

'' M. EomEelte, Ambaffadout at Ve

could receive his answer to the order
for fending me his oath. He received
immediately letters of recal. The place
at Geneva, held by Mr. Caftellane, was
suppressed before the order for taking
the oath was given. The National As
sembly sent me back the oath of Car
dinal de Bernis..\ I informed his Minis
ter that he must fend me one without a?
ny limitation, cr his resignation. By
his answer, which I received the day be
fore yesterday, I fee that he declines
taking the oath in any other form than
as returned to me at firft ; and wait only
until the state of his Majesty's health

GeNEROSITY.
Every hhirg in the English Govern
ment appears to be the reverse of what
it ought to be, and of what it should be.
The Parliament, imperfectly and ca
priciously elected as it is, is neverthe
\e(s fa, posed to hold the national purse
in trust for the nation : But in the man
ner in which an English Parliament is
cenftruTed, it is like a man being both
mortgager and mortgagee ; and in the
case of misapplication of trust, it is the
criminal fitting in judgment upon him
felf. If rhofe who vote the (applies are
the fame persons who receive the sup
plies when voted, and are to account
for the expenditure of those fopplies to
those who voted them,it is themfel^es
accountable to ibemfelves and the Comedy
of Erfours concludes with the Pantomine
of Hush. ~
Neither the ministerial party, nor the
oppofitiou, will touch upon this case.—■
The national Purse is the common hack
which each mounts upon. It is like

An unfortunate accident happened on
Monday last, in the family of Captain
Lamb, of this town—a child of his, a
beautiful boy of about two years old,
being in a third story with the woman
who attended him,ran into a back cham
ber, and fell out of the window, which
immediately put an end to his existence.
The damages sustained in the late fire
at Philadelphia, have been more than
made good, by the liberal contributions
of the citizens— The benefit, at the the
atre, produced 178 dollars.
The Secretary of State furnifhed the
copy of Mr. Paine's pamphlet, from
which a second edition was published in
Philadelphia. In a note to the Printer,
the Secretary observes
Imagination can scarce conceive the
mixture of joy and grief which almost
overcame a fond mother when her loft
child was restored to her arms —and a
general sympathy ran through the nu
merous concourse of people collected on
the occafian..
, After considerable donations fabfenbed
by the people, and a committee chofe.n
to improve the fame in the best manner
for the loft child, they dispersed, leaving
it in the embraces of a mother who had
been deprived of it three days and three
nights, exposed to cold, hunger, and
beasts of prey. Surely the providence
of God is co be acknowledged, who
protests. amidst the preateft dangers.

Saturday the 16th of April, about
noon, a child belonging to Mrs. Glea
son, in Cav^ndifh about fix years old,
went to a sugar place at some distance
from the house to- get a basket that was
left there ; the snow being mostly gone,
the paths from the boiling place to the
troughs were in various directions; by

all day. Her tra&s were difeovered in
several places, but her person could not
be found. Monday a larger number
were polleDed, who used their utmost
endeavours to no purpose. On Tuefday,
it was tho't, there were near a thousand
people assembled from this and the neigh

woods in almost every direction, en
deavouring to observe as good order, as
possible. • About two o'clock afternoon
the child was found near a pond in Lud

that ran into the pond, at near 3 miles
distance from home. It is remarkable
that the child had' neither shoes nor
stockings, and was otherwise very thinly
