The ship Cornwall, arrived here from
England, on the 9tii June was boartled bv La
LK.iaigneuse frigate, of 16 guns, Capt.Wil
Wraham, the Argo of 44 guns, Capt. War.
in company, with a fleet of Indiamen.
consisting of 24 sail, under their convoy, and
learnt that La Dtdaigneuse had on the 9:h
May spoken the Illustrious, of 74 guns. Capt.
Broughton, with four transports destined for
ludia, with troops under her convoy.
At the period ol La Dedaigneuese’s depar
ture from India, tranquility was perfectly re
established amongst the troops Everything
was arranged on a firm basis, and so satis
factorily adjusted, as to prevent the future
recurrence of events so der< galory to the ar_
rny, and niiscitevious in their tendency.
An expedition had been on foot when the
disturbances were first tnanift sted among
the troops, for the purpose of proceeding a
gainst the Spice islands, but from this spirit
of insubordination it was abandoned, and the
troops disposed ol in the protection of tile set"
tlements. Since then, however, it was deem *
ed proper to dispatch two frtga.es, with
8U0 men, for the purpose of annoying them
and making prize of whatever valuable fell
in their way
Hopes were entertained that the French
would be completely expelled from the In
dian Seas, as an expedition which promised
every success was preparing at Madras for
the purpose of reducing the Isle of France
the last reiuge for the enemy’s privateers
in that part of the world.
A great proportion of the QIFicers enga
ged in the mutiny were on board the fleet.—
Many ol them had been tried.
Sir G. Barlow, it was expected, would
embark for England shortly after the licet
quitted India.
British manufactures were exceedingly
abundant in all parts of Portuguese Ann;
rica. Linen and cotton goods were only
disposable at prices far inferior to their first
cost. '1 he Slave Trade was carried on
briskly. Vessels were continublly arriving
with negroes from Africa.

A letter front Carthagena, dated Tune 25,

“Several changes have taken place in the
Government of this place. The Governor,
•who was generally disliked, has been depo

vanna to Spain, to render, an account of his
conduct. The Lieutenant Governor, with
two Assistants, as a council, compose the
Executive, and the Cabildo ixevcis- provi

A TREATISE
ON POLITICAL, LYING,
Respectfully dedicated to the Federal
Printers in the U S.
Gentlemen,
We have s^en, in the former
part of this treatise, what are the Rules ap
pitcable to tile Political Lies, which relate
to men and characters—we now come to
such as i elate to political measures, causes
and consequences.
PAET II.
ON ME ASSURED LIES.
In lay mg down these Rules. Gentlemen,
it is proper that you understand certain pre
liminary cautions.
First, Always ascribe your own measures to
the b-'st possible motives :
Second, Ascribe those of your opponents to
the worst possible ones *.
Third, Exaggerate ttie good effects of your
own measures, to the highest possible degree.
Fourth, Mrain the ill effects ot your ad versa •
riv’s measures, to * lit- worst possible height.
The two last precautions are indeed, not
so much lyes as the succedaucums of Lyes
—but as they spring from the same fruitful i
source, viz a lying imagination, they should I
not be overlooked in tins discussion. These j
may be resorted t<>, when Lies themselves i
cannot be employed—for we have already
said;it is bettor to be charged with a breach
of Logic rhan a breach ot veracity ; and a
false argument is safer than a falsehood.
F tih, Never tell the truth, but as a stroke of
policy
.sncm, iMPvrr waste your lies in prolusion
There are really hut very few good lies—and
therefore they should be husbanded and made the
most of—A politician, who is prodigal of these
good things, is a nuisance to his party—lie m <y
b,. said to waste the treasures of their public
stork, without any adequate re man oration. He
is drone, that dissipates the liouey of the Fed
eralists, and lor l is pains deserves to be turned
from the hive.
This ride peculiarly applies to those of a
miraculous hikI alarming description.—
“ Terrible objects should not be too fre
quently shown to the people, lest they g:ow
familiar. The. want of observing this so ne
cessary a precept, in bringing out the raw
head and blo« dy - bones on every tt ifling oc
casion, has produced great indifference in
the vulgar ol lute years ”
Your great and terrible miraculous Lie,
at present, is a French Influence in the U.
S Hut considering that there is not one
visible,.satisfactory !act to back, the rumor,
you have really pressed it too far to be borne
any longer. Whence indeed you have acquit"
ed the impudence to repeat so stale a jest,
in such a variety of forms, it is not for me to
say. You all recollect the lot of that poor
old arch deceiver, who fabricated pirns and
clues and tub bottoms with as muen dexter
ity as spiders spin cobwebs out of their own
bowels. The flat and unprofitable jest was
so often repeated that every man began to
see through it—and poor flarfier could real
ly pipe no longer. The man became the
standing jest of his own acq laintance^— and
was loictd to drop the trade altogether. ,
His charges of French Influence were dis
credited, because they were so often de
tcc.eil—and the woi Id were no longer start
led by a monster, whom they had so often
heard of, witnout having once seen.
The very same rule, gentlemen, you have
violated, in u similar way as to the impu
tations of a British influence. It is
too perceptibe tnut such an influence exists
amongst you, to be any longer veiled or
discredited by your denials The British
consuls amongt us, the crowds of foreign to •
lies who walk our streets, the information
transmitted by spies to Halifax of the sail
ing ot our vessels, the extenuation of tin- |
provoked British outrages, tne tone of your
prints, and the arguments of some of vour
caciques, that 11 (.*. Britain has done us no
essential injury”-—all these circumstances
infallibly point out the British party in this
country. Fhe thing was too plain to be
concealed. No man could deny it, but he
who has partaken of the malady. Under
these circumstances, what was your policy?
Fudeny that there was any such party in
this country ? or to admit that there are in. I
deed a FEW of this cast in the U. States?
It. gentlemen, you had adhered to the last ,
he, it would have been far better for you_
Y u would have got some credit, from the
people fir your show of impartiality. But,
really you have denied the existence of this
influence with such a ridiculous pertinacity ;
you have pushed your lies to such an ex
iicine extent, that no man will haw believe
them. “None are so blind, says the pro
verb, as those who will not see.”
As to the animating or encotit aging lies,
of the miraculous cast -Swift gives us tin; fol
lowing Rules; that they should not exceed
the common degrees of probability ; that
there should be a variety in them ; and the
same lie not obstinately insisted on; that die
promissory or prognosticating lies should not
be upon short nays, lor tear the authors
should have tlm si.aine and contusion to see
themselves speedily contradicted.
v t U'Sf rule*, (??nilenien, yon wprc*
wrong in prognosticating such t xcellent ef..
li f ts from .lie raising of the K nbatgn. For
wi.cre is that mighty trade ; where that grea
securi'y to our merchants; where ilnt re
'(’'Ct for our fl ig and our purse, displayed*
No where, (teuuemen, but in your news
papers and in your orators' speeches.
In those things which partake of number
atid quantity, be up >n vnur gn ml against
too excessive a stretch. Li ; within Mir
bounds of probi >ilUy—.for there fs a medimr,
iu all ibin^i. Let jour •• coiiur.s, wnale*,
and dragons be at least s'r.eable.” Don’t e:c
'Kgcrate the millionsof publicdebt your pat
ty had paid t ff—lest some millions should he
found wauling. Don’t bury 1800 out ot 2000
men out of the N. O.detachment, on the
shores oft lie Mississippi,assume ot you hare
done—lest the public documents should come
in, to prove, that such an enormous stretch \
could no» have been the effect of tnadver-1
lence, hut design.
Thet c arc two o'lter rules, gentlemen, which I
indeed it is scarcely necessary to impress upon |
! »‘»u, as you rein to have practised the in with j
gia at success.
i ru-se are to reserve your most effective Ives
for the crisis of our t lection* ; and (luring these
crises, whin the public mind is in want of light
us to our foreign relations, to teem* with every
l»os.Mbie rumour and calumny, about the steps ot
the government
Seize the moment, when the public are in
search of light, because that is the moment
for making impressions—and hold up your
best lies for the Elections. For an engineer
might ns well waste Isis heaviest inetai upon
a bush, as for vou to waste your finest shot
in mid-air Your arsenal should be supplied
with all sorts of explosibles, from a squib up
to a 30 pounder.—Indeed, one of the grea-est
arts in lying, is jo know the timk which it
suits best And by this rule, Dr. Morse may
well be denominated the Prince of Lyars,
for his exertions in biassing an election, by
his miraculous story of the Ocean Massacre,
detailed with so much art from the conse
crated Pulpit.
But thkse Rules, Gentlemen, and any o
thers which may be laid for your govern.
ance, will not avail to redeem you from thr
d» p-lis of political ruin into which you have
fallen, unless you should recover itj some
measure the reputation which you have lost.
One of • the axiom* of lying is that a man
should be supposed at least caftable of speak
ing the truth. You must really acquire this j
necessary degree of leputation before you
can obtain any success. “The party should
agree to vent nothing but truth for three
months together, which will give them cre
dit for six months lying afterwards.” Per
haps indeed, “it is almost impossible to find
fit persons3to execute this Scheme.”
Much, of your success might even then be
prevented by the number ot indiscreet lies,
which are put into circulation, by busy and
ignorant pretenders. Your society ought,
therefore, to be put under some organiz tti
on—and the directors should alone have the
power of issuing license* to particular per- 1
sons, to set up a mint ot fictions—the rest of
the crew to be confined to the mere mecha_!
meal business of copying and of circulati '
on—when they have proved their discern
ment in this humble branch, they may then I
aspire to the dignity of coiners—from A. B.'
they may become A M’s.—Particular lies,
too, should be confitied to particular districts
—thus, the lies of Virginia influence and
ot antipathy to commerce, should oe confin
ed to the Eastern states, 8cc. &c
Such, sirs, are the general rules of a trea
tise—which I shall submit to your atten i, !
°h—1 shall leave the exposition of the de„ j
; tails to your own judgments —But as it is j
impossible foryou to rise from your present j
ruins, without some imposition upon the peo, *
pie, it is all important tor you to understand ,
the way, in which this is to be accomplished.1
Pi - fi- by your own errors, gentlemen, and
amend your ways.
1 leave you here a little hook,
For you to look upon,
What you m.*y see your errors’ ways,
W nen 1 .on dead and gone.
If you go on to serve the cause,
As you have now begun,
You shall walk safely all your days,
Until your life be done
Cod grant you so to end your days
As he shall think it best ;
" That I m.iy see you in the St_
Respectfully prays your well wisher,

Laughable ! —The Pseudo “ American j
Citizen’' ot N Y. (Mr. CheethamJ has come i
out with a long article, in which he charges •
the republicans with having been ripe in 1799
tor a dissolution ot the union. Fne only tact,
which he pretends to state.is a letter from Mr!
Lewis Harwell ot this city, under d**e of
March, 1799. anil published in the Vir ginia
Gazette—in this Mr B asserts that Mr.G iles
hail expressed himselt in favor of a sepa
ration.
Peace to the ashes of Mr B 'Letusnotdis
turb them by a sarcasm or retort—let us even
pass over those terms of poignant asperity,
which Mr. G uses about tns political
opinions li is merely necessary to say,
that Mr. G. contradicted the assertion in the
most exp ion manner, in a letter which is now
before us.- 1 unequivocally asser,
says he, lha it never v.is my wish or on.
jfcCT to etfeci a dissolution . me tedernl
compact, or to bring ab ut a separation of
the States—and that I never expressed such
a Sentiment either ai the tab >• or time allu
ded to-ir at any other time or place
whatever ”
On the other hand, Cheetham admits, that
during the embargo the federal party were
*• on the point, in the Eastern states, but
particularly Massachuse ts and Connecti
cut. of opposing with fohce the diabolical
system ot French dictation and ruin,”as he
chooses to style it.—He adds, the abolition
ol the Embargo, ficc. prevented the appeal
to arms—1 iic.-ti men »<>o assumed to them
selves the name of federalists—and they
nerved the spirit of G. B. by an opposition
totheirown country—Yet they are now so
impudent as to charge the republicans with 1
a wish to dissolve the Union —Wagner, &c. i
are even bold enough to twist and .distort ihe i
V.i. resolutions of ’90, for the purposes of I
slander.

But a cartful study of their own language, from
the primary characters “which form the entrance
to the Temple of Science.” to the higher prin

Having availed himself of these advantages,
Mr. A. hopes that his system, in its present im

A monthly examination before a select com
pany. and a public exhibition every three months,
will display the acquirements of the pupils, and
announce their progress. And when wpportuni
tiestof obtaining public approbation so frequently
oc< nr to enliven their attention and animate their
zeal, it maybe presumed that neither pi ecep
tor nor pupils will slumi>er over theii employ
ment. It may rather be anticipated, that the
hope of applause t om circles so enlightened,
will, like the prospect of an O'ympic wreath,
awaken the sensibility of the pupils, inspire them
with emulation, and excile all the ardor and ac
tivity of youthful ambition
For the improvemem of such young Ladies,
