Among other prophetic visions one jwas,
that the Secretary of the Trealury; Mr; ~
Hamilton, would n.ot venture to appear^
in the wefterrt expedition. He difappoint
fcd this afTchion by going along with the

Hamilton is to elcape the ceofure of

As to his appearance in the army, it mky;
readily be explained, Mr. Hamilton ''
was a soldier before he was a ftatefmah>
if we are not mifaformed,he behaved at j
Yorktown in a manner that reflects honpyr!
both on his coinage' and humsnuy. An\

Bat there was ^ne very important reason,
why the presence of Mr. HaSi’ilTon in
the army was extremely deftrabie. The r
expeditions of Haimak and jPt. Clair, '
’. both.failed for want (as-it was ailedged,)
of the necefiary fup^iips. Mr. Hamil

the possibility of Vny complaint on this

country, has said,
« We Ue mankind the fame In evfcry age,

And hoary treafoß, and untainted youth.

Ahd we have seen verified Abe
existence of this “ Hoary Treafdn >^
in the conduct of the leaders of the
‘Pi tiburg Insurgents, who have
added to their treafoh meanness ;
for as soon as they law the u strong

crufti the hydra,have quitted their
country, gone down the Ohio, and
expert to find an asylum at N^w-

Description of a Beau.
[Calculated for the Meridian of New-York
but will aniwer, without eflcntial alter
tion, tor some more northern States.]
A BEAU, a thing of prelenc
consequence, though once
/cl ailed with monkits, is a biped
featherlefs* but in Ibme meaiure
fond of the rude covering of na
ture; since he luffers the hair to
spread over his jowls; aiming*
without doubt, at the beauty of
the buffaloe. His hair docked
behind, much like the tail of a
Dutch horfei Around his 'neck
he wears a huge bolster ihfrde a
< fttiped cravat; 1 which a man igno
rant of the mode Would suppose
was a cataplafmfor the quinfey;
His coats and waiilcoars are made
w th a rolling cape, resembling ah
old falhioncci riding'drefs; and’if
his wardrobe allows H; which ia
not always the case, - he generally
changes them twice a day. His
breeches, or with the greatest pro
priety, his small clothes, stick as
c’ofe to. him as his skin; ahd were
it not for am elastic band Which is
ccnneded with them and Hanging
athort his shoulders—he could noc
politely stoop to take up a belle’s
fan, without cracking. His small
clothes are either fattened at the
knees by a buckle placed under
the ham, and thence properly de
nominated a ham buckle j pr tied
by a bunch of silken ferret, which
hangs dinglingdown hisdegs, and
resembles a . piece bf sliced cab
‘ bage, by Dutchmen yoleped cold
; flaw. His' dockings are ringed,
streaked, ahd Ipeckled; I ike Jacob’s
calves. HU Ihoes are lometimes
covered with ribbands, sometimes
impressed with a miniature buc
kle. His cane, alias canee, alias
flicked, is much like an Irishman’s
fhelalah, and so Ihort that he nev
er pretends to reach the ground
with it. ■
Touching- the behaviour of
these creatures, it is ihfdlent and
full of affedatibn, indicative of
that lelf fuffidency which is the off
fpring of ignorance, and‘fregn that
pride whtcfifprings from mean
ness. r They are very apt to com
plain. of the wine, the bread and
the tea which is brought for them.
