We understand from good authority,
that a recruiting fergeapt, at a country
lair, procured lately a great number of
men, by telling them, shat he did not
want them to learn their exercife,br to do
any thing of the drudgery of a common

Extraa cf a letter from Detroit, Canada;
October 1, 1790.
~ " On the 23d of July, a party of
Saguina Indians brought into the garri^
fori of Detroit thirteen American's, whom
they had.captured on the Ohio ; they
approached the fort with the usual war
hoop, expofmg fcaTps at the head of their
Conoe. Major Smith of the fth regiment
Commandant,texpreffed'his full difap^
probation 1 of this measure ; and refusing
to. fee the chief, by proper methods
gained so farao afeendandy over him,
as to prevail on him to deliver up the
pri forcers, in ccbncll held so? this pur
pose £ this effected, they ,were fed,

afterwards forwarded to their own homes
by-guides, hired for that puTpofe, who
were pledged tor their fafety. Mr.
M'Ker, and Mr. Elliott, of the Indian
Department, afforded Major Smith ' every
affiftasce in thie affair ; which shews

Amongst the strongest instances cf
the fluctuation of popular opinion, may
be reckoned the change of sentiment
which has taken place with respect to M.
de la Fayette. At one time the idol of the
people, he is now the oojed of suspicion
with many ; and suspicion in certain
fruitions is nearly equivalent to hatred !
Os this the Marquis has experienced a
recent instance. "..
He was attacked on Tuefday last by 8
men armed when accompanied by only
two of his guards de corps.—The latter
were fortunately armed with pistols, by
the discharge of which two of the assai
lants were wounded. After a (hort con
test; these with two others were takeri ;
the rest saved themfelres by flight.
The Marquis has efcap-d unhurt, but
when the disgust is general, such an ad
bf outrage, is perhaps less dangerous id
its'effe&, than in its example.
'La Favet/e'j fidelity is arraigned, he i%
celled a Cameleon, and is said to have a
printing-press iri his own hotel; front
whence proceed all the encomiums be
stowed upon his own civic virtues. M.
A. de la Meatb was the impeaher.
g, The American reader quill bear in bis
mind, that the- above French intelligence
came through anJLnglifh channel.
Virtue, Modefly and Experience, will
now occupy in the^French churchy the
dignified places, hitherto too often usur
ped by ambition, intrigue, pride and ig
norance. Where the people have a Bi
shop to name, their choice is worthy of
the primitive church. A parish prill of
Sedam has been lately elected to fill the
Episcopal chair of that city; his eleva
tion is the reward of beneficence, tolera
tion, patriotism, in (hort of every virtue.

Between the; King of Spain', and the

Peace is also likely to be concluded
between the Turks and Ruffians.
And for the better, the language of
the Monarchs of Europe has rec^Y

lately railed a new Regiment', and calls
it the National Patriot. His Sicilian

TURKE'S PHILLIPIC,
A GREAT CHANGE,
MR. R A.NLET,
YOUR Paper of the sth inst. lately
fell into my hand, in which I difi
covered a Piece under the signature of
Nindex ; complaining of the author of a
piece in the Gazetteer of the igth ult.
carrying the idea— Let us fng a neWfongi
What the gentleman principally com
plains of, is the author's observation
that the purchasing up Public Securities
while under par, to prevent Foreigners
purchasing, and to raifa them in the hands
°f 'be present holder, is truly a farce,
when we are hiring mere, abroad to make
this Jame purchefe. 1 Who the author of
the idea was, I foall not pretend to fay—>
But the question is, hew far juflice or
good policy may qualify rhe Meafure,if
mankind were nor to extend/ their ideas
any further than Vmdex, in-his writings,
perhaps we might all agree with him—
But Pindex, to juftify the meafore of pur^
chafing, fays-—Would it be afarce in art
individual whole finances were a little de
ranged to hire money at § per cent, to redeem
his own obligation bearing an intereJi of
6 per cent, at ten Shillings oh thi pound,
if it would, I apprehend there might be
found even fudges whose gravity would
not prevent their occafonally ading a part
in it —:—l (han h, r e just remind Vindex,
(for it appears as tho' his ideas never
extended so far,) that we do not hear
of individuals hiring money at 5 per
cent, officially those whose affairs are so
deranged ;tbat their securities can be
bought for ten ffiillings on the pound—
But if either the Public, fudge or Apothe
cary fhoufd delay, derange, or secret
their property to defraud their creditors,
by reduc ; rg the intereff or principal,
no honefly could jollify the meafure —;
not, even Pindex, with all his pretended
governmental attachment.——-As for the,
justice of the measure of purchasing up
Public Securities under par—let us for,
a moment fee if the call of the public
creditor and the poor distressed soldier;
do not demand' their ffiate of the million,
df dollars in the Treasury, towards the;
interest due to them : And further, if the
interest on Securities had been paid, they,
would have risen as high or higher than
they row are. No man will presume to
fay th.ey.would not—and besides, Con
gress had no right to delay payment of
the interest to purchase up their Securi
ties under par; for it is taking advan
tage of their own wrongs, and adding
difl refs to ^Oifreffed ;—for let us fee
who are the persons that set out at this
day. Is it the wealthy Farmer, Mer
Addressed to the Scribblers of the Day,

I, AtYork,and (hav'd full many a fop,
A Monkey kept for their amusement;
He made no other kind of use on't.
This Monkey took great observation.
Was wonderful at imitation,
And all he saw the Barber do,
He mimick'd strait and did it too.
It chanc'd in fliop the dog and cat,
While Frifeur din'd, demurely fete,

So thought he'd try bis hand at (having.

And gets the rafor, soap and brushes ;
Now Puss he fix'd (no muscle miss stirs)

So by the glass, upon the table,
He rubs with soap bis visage fable,
Then with left hand holds fmcoth bis jaw,
The rafor in his Dexter paw.
Around he flourishes and slashes,
Till all his face is feam'd with galhes.
His cheeks difpatch'd—his visage thin
He cock'd to Shave beneath his chin.
Drew rafor fwift as he could pulhit,
And cut from ear to ear his gullet.
