~A correfpon&t believes tuf fair young Ladies,
who so generally wear veils, do not consider that
it is an InJhrgent fafhion, and was originally adopt
ed from a levelling principle. As friends to go
vernment they must dislike the principles—as
friends to theri®ves they @'ght W &te&. the
fashion which reduces all &flnaions of beauty, and
makes all women dike—'
The beauteous virgins of all faces
Delight to foew their pretty faces;
But pride beep, ihtfe from beings ert,
Whole features wears a homely mein,
Jf this philofaphy bitrue,
Then Boston beauties dr e belt few ;
For ev'ry nymph 4 v^iL doth wear ; _
y Sure fgn within there's nought that's fair.

NEWPORT, OCT. ^fr
If Mystery be a chief agent in active and effeau
al government, the prevaling politics of the day
teem to be at the zenith of perfedion.—Every Mi
nister in the great nations of Europe, at the pre
sent moment, seems studying how he shall puzzle
mankind, and confufe even their cbn)e&ures of his
intentions. Formidable and awful armaments are
every where fitting out, foreign Wars are impen
ding, and civil discords prevailing : yet the gene
ral conversation turns as much upon. Peace and
Harmony, as if the golden age were restored.
The cQgdu& of the Span^fh Minister at Madrid,
during "this wreck of, Matter, and this crush of
worlds!" appears more extraordinary, however,
than that of any other, in lb exalted and often fible
a situation ; for at the very fame time that hjs ex
ertions are the most vigorous, in making the most
warlike Preparations of every kind, and that these
very Preparations are supposed to be direded a
gainst Great-Britain, he is at the feme moment
adviiing his fellow fubjeas" to continue their
trade as ufaal, with that country."
We can from good authority assert that the Na
tional Cockade is universally worn in Ireland. It
is presented to all travellers, and it is extremely
dangerous to refufe wearing the patriotic ornament.
The people all exclaim against the politicks of Mr.
Pitt, and it is generally apprehended that with
out the removal of the two firft Judges, and the
appointment of a new viceroy, tranquility can ne
ver be restored in that deftrafted country.

"October 1. Arrived, this/horning]
a sloop from Martinique,advifing that
there has been a general engagement
between the General and the Citizens
—and, that the latter were routed
with the loss of 7 or 800 killed !"
The general tenor of intelligence
from the French Weft-India settle
ments, seems to confirm the idea,fome
time since broached, that the proceed
ings in- those islands would be little
elie than the revolution of Old France
in miniature. A majority of the, peo
ple in every island are rtri& adherents
to the cauie of the National Affem-
bly of the parent country ; and altho'
they have no Bafliles to storm; or mo
narch to bring to a sense of bis duty,
yet in every one of these distinct and
minute dependent governments, such
efforts have been made as to convince
the retainers to despotic and arefto
cratic tyranny,—that the spirit of
French liberty has reached them,and
must soon, (if riot already) haye its
full effe&s there as well as in the
mother country. Martinique and
French Hispaniola Teem to take the
lead in the cause of Liberty, and to
the di&atef of the leading people of
these islands the rest conform in al
most every instance. Such, however,
is the force of habit and education;
that an incredible number of the
French inhabitants of the ifland,have
fold off their property; and gohe into
the Trans-Atlantic dominions of o
ther powers, rather than submit to
what they deemed an innovation in
their laws and government.
