The Return of Rain.
habitants of England*
AVERY great majority of En
glishmen, X am well persuaded
are friends to what are called high
maxims of government. They, would
choose to have the power cf the
Crown rather enlarged than re
duced, and would rather fee alfthe
Diflenters banished than any refor
mation made in the Church. A
dread of every thing tending to Re
pttblicdmfm is manifeftly in created of
late years, and"is likely co increase
tbll more. The very term is be
come one of the' moss opprobrious
in the Englith Language. The
Clergy (whose near alliance with
the Court and the present royal fam
ily ; after having been almost a cen
tury, hostile to them is a remarkable
event in the present reign) have con
tributed not a little to that leaning
to arbitrary power in ’the Crown
which has been lately growing upon
us. They preach up the dodrines
J^fpaflTve obedience and nonrefift
afite with as little difgqife as their
ancestors; did. in tjie reigns of the
Stuarts ; and their adulation of the
• King and of*the Mini her is abjedt in
the extreme. Any Tentiment in fa
our of liberty that is at all bold and
manly, such as till of late was deem
ed becoming Englilhmen, and the
disciples of Mr. Locke, is now rep
robated as feditibus. In these cir
cumstances it would be nothing left
than madness to attempt a change in
che Constitution.

From the AMERICAN APOLLO.
Mefi’rs. Printers,
I have etc traced the following from the
second part of Dr. Priestley’s ap
peal to the public \ I doubt not it will
be entertainining to your readers. „
MANY years ago this trader in politics
(iontraded an intimacy with an l?Hb
peer, now no niore, whose purfej agreeably
w;th the regular pradiceof our hero, through,
the merits of his subtle spirit, he rendered
subservient to his own necessities. He con- ,
trived to borrow a conOderable sum bom the
above nobleman, for which he gave a mort
gage on his B-ff-ld V-n-ys affairs becoming
exceeding embarrassed, several years after
wards, his lordthip being abroad, rhe rruflees
warted on Mr. Burke, demanding payment
of the mortage. When the Hibernian Jesuit
affeded surprise : Declaring ** that the mort
gage had been paid ” But on the negative
being proved, and the payment rather earn’
cflly prefled, he burst into a violent rage;
faying, “ iffo, that th^ bond was out of
dace—-that he ftiduld fly sos fheirir to the sta
tute of limiratibn ; and that he was prepar
ed to defend any process under that honour,
able protedion.”
From this anecdote, the public may decide
whar degree of faith is due to the political
couv’etfion, or rather perversion of a man who
has been guilty of such vile ingratitude to
wards a generous and confidential benefador.

INSTRUCTOR.
IDLE disputing is a fliamefdl abuse
JpTreafon and a waste of time. To
argue for the fake of information,
with a desire to know the truth and
embrace it, is laudable. But to rea
son with a view to support talfe prin
ciples, or to undermine truth and
virtue is highly criminal. Partial rea
fonfng debars the mindfrom improve
ment, and gives it a contraded hab
it of thinking; candid enquiry dif
pels.falfe ptejudices, enlarges the
mind, and’gives just ideas of things
-7—Many have adopted mistaken no
tions’, and defended them with ob
stinacy, to rhe great .injury of them
selves and others for want of obser
ving the teflon roths following Anec
dote. An ancient British Kino;, after
a fuccefsful battle, set up a rtatue to
the Goddess of Victory where tour
roads met. In hi£ right hand was a
spear. and the left relied on a fliield,
one taceof which was gold, the other
silver. It happened one day, that
two Knights well armed, the one in
black, the other white, came up to
this statue from opposite parts. This
golden shield, fays the black Knight
—Golden shield, interupted the white 1
Knight, if I have eyes it is silver. >1
know nothing of your eyes, replied the .
black Knight j but 1 know that the
shield is gold. The dilpute ensued in
a challenge. After fixing their spears,
they flew with imperuofity at each
other-, and both of them fell to the
ground much bruited. A druid, who
came by, fbewed them their mistake;
and gave them this teflon, never to en
ter into a difpute', till you have fairly
conjidered both Udes of the quell ion.
