7bree Admirable Reasons for
WH OE VER confiders
the wars in Europe
for (ome centuries past, may
feidom find a better reason for
them, than that which indu
ced the King of Pegu to de
clare war in 1558, against the
King of Siam. The King of
Pegu, it seems, having been
informed that the King of
Siam had two white Ele
phants which were very rare,
sent an ambassador to the
court of Siam, to demand
one ofthem at any price; but
his Siamese Majesty refufing
to comply, his exasperated
neighbour entered his territo
ries with avast army, and at
the trifling expenleof 100,000
lack of rupees, and 500,000
soldiers killed in battle, made
the krngdonof Siam tributary
to that of Pegu.
Second, An EUROPEAN
cause of war.
Not a white elephant but
a window —the French Prime
Minister, Louris, having been
very hardly treated by Louis
XIV. on account of a window
df a certain building he was
ereding tor the King, came
home filled with indignation.
I once was as cheerful as you,
And pranced like a colt o’er the plain,
While fwift as au arrow I flew,
I laughed at each amorous Twain. t
M” locks were as black as a crow,
And I dre fled like a butterfly gay ;
Mv ik’n was as white as the (now,
And I sung like a laik all the day.
As unfix'd as the wind, or the weather,
1 cared not a fig what was (aid ;
My heart was as light as a feather—
But no* it is heavy as lead.

which he vented in the pret
ence of Tilladet and St. Ro
maine.— u lam undone, quite
undone,” laid he, “ if 1 do
not find bufinels enough for
this King of ours, whoni the
flighted trifles put into a pas
sion. War is the only thing
which can take him from his
buildings,and by G — he (hall
have enough of it.” In con
iequence of this the famous
League of Augiburg was dis
united, and all Europe put in
to a flame, because. a window
was made too broad or too
narrow.
Thirdly, the War of BREE
CHES,
The preterit war we are en
gaged ini call the war of
breeches*—- For our Prime
Minidir finding that the Sans
Cullottes of France fight bet
ter without breeches than the
Austrians, Pruflians & Hano
verians with whiskers, oi the
Dutch with trowfers, has un
dertaken this glorious vrar,
lolely with a view to compel
the Sans Culottes to wear
breeches ; for neither he nor
his partisans, have ever yet
afligned any fatisfactory caule
for that waste of blood and
trealure, which has thinned
the British nation of useful
lubje&s, and loaded it with
accumulated debts and of
courle insupportable taxes,
which I think a realon as ia
tisfaftory as Billy Shallow’s
reasons, afligned in your pa-
per of the 27th inst, for com
pelling the Galligafkins to eat
their soup with the wrong end
of the spoon.
AFTER the famous bat
tle fought between the En
glish and Dutch fleets in the
year 1665, off Harwich, in
which Opdam’s ship was
blown up, and the Dutch fleet
completely routed by the
squadron under the command
of the Duke of York, the
States General were informed
by Van Trump, that his mis
fortune was principally at^i
buted to the cowardice and
inability of several of the
captains. The States plain
ly law, that to iuffer such
conduct to pass unpunished,
would be at once to renounce
all pretensions to maritime
greatness. Seven Captains
were brought tot rial,of whom
three were shot, four had their
swords ignominiously broke
over their heads by the com
mon hangman, two were fu
perceded and declared incapa
ble of ever filling any hon
ourable ft at ion, and the chief
pilot was sentenced to walk
under a gibbet with a halter
about his neck, and afterwards
banished. The effects of this
instance of just and well-tim
ed severity were long felt in
the Dutch navyi

rhe following are the advanta
ges of preferring Par/nips by
drying, pointed out by the
Rev. Jeremy Belknap of
Bo ft on.
y^MOUNG the number of
eicuient roots, the parlmp has
two lingular good qualities —
One is that it will endure the
severest cold, and may be ta
ken out of the ground in the
Iprmg as lw*et as in autumn >
the other is, that it may be
preierved, by drying,to any de
lu eci length oi tunc. The filft
of theie advantages has been
known tor many years past—
The people of the most nor
therly parts of New-England,
where winterreigns with great
levelity, and the ground is of
ten frozen, to the depth of
two or three feet for four
months, leave their parlnips
in the ground,till it has thaw
ed in the ipring, and think
them much better preierved
than in cellars. Ihe other
advantages never occured to
me, till one winter, when one
of my neighbours put in
to my hands alubftance which
had the appearance ol a piece
of buck’s horn. This was
part of a parlnip, which had
been drawn out of the ground
in April, and had lain neglec
ted in a dry cloiet for ten
months. It was so hard as to
require eonfiderable strength
to force a knife through it
crofsways ; but being leaked
in warm water, for about an
hour, became tender, and was
as sweet to the taste as if it
had been frefh drawn from
the ground. As many ufeful
discoveries owe their origin
to accident, this may suggest
a method of prelerving so
wholesome a vegetable for the
t>fe of seamen on long voyag
es, to prevent the icurvy and
other disorders incident to a
feafaring life, which is often
rendered tedious and distress
