^EPITAPH UPON NERO.
STOP, pafferger! &ilh revr'ence view the daft,
For heretics one who n&er beiray'd big trust:.
Who gave no hopes but what he wifh'd to crown.
True to his friends, did fortune finite or frown.

And, ihp' repaid, he thought himfeli in debt.
With witand fenfefncugh, he never strove,
Pro&dy to mine —except in ways of love —
Reader ! how suits this pidure to th, mind ?
Art thou, like him, true, faithful, just and kind?
If not, reform, or hide th, head from fhime—

Remarkable ESCAPE.
THE celebrated Aaron Hili, when in
Egypt, had the cyriofity to examine a
catacomb (burying place). He was ac
companied in his expedition by two gen
tlemen, and conduced by a guide, one
of the natives of the country ; they at
length arrived at the spot, and without,
taking notice of some fellows who were
sauntering about the place, defeended
by ropes into the Vault ;no sooner were
they let down, than they were presented
witn a fpe&cle which struck them withi
horror—2 gentlemen, apparently ftarvedl
to death, laid before them ; one of these
unhappy victims had a tablet in his hand,
on which was written in very pathetic
language, the Rory of their unhappy fate.
It seems they were brothers, of rank and
family in Venice, & having in the course
of their travels, entrusted themselves with
r<one of the natives for the purpose of vis
filing the catacomb, the perfidious vil
lain had left them there to perish. The
danger to which Mr. Hill and his friends
were exposed, instantly alarmed them;
they had scarcely read the tale, when,
looking up, they beheld their inhuman
guide, affixed by two others whom they
had seen near the spot, elofing the en
trance into the vault, they were now re
duced to the utmost dist re fs; however^
they drew their swords, and were deter
mined,to make some desperate effort to
refeue themselves from a feene so truly
dreadful ; with this resolution they were
'groping about at random in the dark;:,
when they were started at the groans of
some one seemingly in the agonies of
death ; they attended to the dismal found,
and at length, by the glimmering light
from the top of the catacomb, they few
a man just murdered, and a little beyond
they difeovered his inhuman murderers
< .flying with the utmost precipitation; they
pursued them immediately, and tho not
j. able to come up with thefo, they howev
^erhad the good fortune to reach the o
gening through which these wretches es
caped out of the cavern, before they
bad time to roll the done on the top of
, it; thus Mr. Hill and his friends were
by a miracle laved.

Os FRANCE.I
Very intelligent men of the Gov^
ernment party in England have ac#
knowledged that a Peace what France
would be ruinous to Great Britain—
that the British Ministry dreaded the
consequences of a termination of hofti
lities—that the French Government
inMed uppha complete and unquali
fied restoration of all the Colonies be
longing to herfelf and allies, and with
out which file would never treat for
peace. The late appearances of ne^
gociation between these two powerful
nations are delufory, and the war in
Europe will in all probability contin
ue several years longer, if the parties
can obtain the means of carrying it on.
Great Britian will be the firft exhauft#
ed, because she supports herfelf by a pa
per system of credit which is stretched
to the most unreasonable length, and
which must soon break in pieces ; she
has less circulating specie than France
—the depreciation of her paper money
is already sensibly felt, and it will be
more and more so, the proportion be
tween gold hnd bank paper being at
present from 8 to io per cent.—The
bank of England has not paid any
specie for a long time past—the com
sequence of these things will be Na
tional Bankruptcy, and perhaps a rev^
olution in the Government, to the ad
vantage of the people. France has no
paper money in circulation, all public
and private payments are made in fpe#
cie—her internal resources are im
mense; she has silenced her continen
tal enemies ; she has added one sixth
t 6 her population, and as much to her
national riches; she is now in the full
vigour of youth ; she has nothing to
fear from Great Britain ; and, govern
ed by the greatest man of the age, who
has the wisdom to discern her true in
terest, she will come offthe conqueror.
[Salem Register.
In consequence of the increased
duty, upon paper, in England, the
booksellers there have been obliged
to abandon their design of re-printing
a new and complete edition of the Brb
tifh poets. The new duty upon paper,
so far from increasing the revenue,
threatens to destroy the consumption
almost altogether. All literary pro
jeds which were not far advanced are
necessarily laid aside, and the stagna
tion in this branch of business begins
already to be severely felt. [This may
be as fortunate for America as the edid
of Nantz was for the British manufac
turers.] Aurora.
