RA LS,
‘•It i» a surprising fact that even the A,
ms-ricnn People know but little of George
Washington. They have indeed beard a
gr« at deal of his Public Life; of his Mili
tary Character, and Political Talents, but
hardly any tiling of'his private Life and
Virtues.
“ Many intelligent persons have ardent*
Jy wished to see a /oiiA'ii/account oithcee,
tun only ns a debt of gratitude to him, but
as a fine example to our children.
‘•The Author has performed this task
in a very satisfactory manner. His^fnrc
dotca of Washington present the supreme
txreltence of religion, with the tranacen.
4ant dignity, charm and usefulness of the
respective virtues in domestic, civil and mi
litaiy scenes. The moral sensibility and
geuiusot the writer warms the heart and
imagination cf his readers. His descrip,
five fancy paints the occasional scenes of
Mature in pleasing views ; while his flash
es of comic wit give an agreeable reliei to
the mind, and render tne serious truths
mere Impressive, especially cn the young
reader.”

FROM A DUBLIN PAPER, April 9.
London, Friday, Aprils, half past 7.
P. M
u Some egregims er:ors appear in
the papers of this evening regarding
hir Fratios Burdett. He is neither
in the lower n>r intends to be there,
lle^disputes the authority of the Speak
er’s warrant for his cc mmiimem,. nd
means to resist its execution by every
legal expedient. A c-asi Jerabie
crowd is before Sir Francis’ house in
Piccadidy, but he is himself at his
country residence at Wimbledon.
“ During the whole of the morning
a numerous concourse have attended
at the Tower Hill, and the streets ad
jacent, with the expectation of seeing
^ir Francis. Lord Moira, in his o!£
iid situation ha* been at the foiver to
receive the Member for Wcs:min*tcr.
As a measure of precaution, for which
I trust thrre will be no occa-i n, the
guns at the principal gate and bastion
towards l'owcr street have been load
ed, and artillery has been planted i*
•ong the interior street of the fortress
Isadillff t3 th • norfrnlH*. TTh*. —
tias been greatly reinforced. Such
are the particulars I have received,
from a special messenger who has
just leit the place.
“In Westminster meetings have,
been held by tne friends of their Re
presentative, to consider what exped
■iut they sno. Id ;uWip; to be restored
to the benefit of the elective franchise,
at which, by the vote of this morning
in the Commons House, they id.ege
tuey are deprived, and many thousand
signatures atby this dine obtained,
a requisition to tnc High B-uud ;or
i meeting in the Palace Yard, which,
t is said will be immediately appoint
id. On the same opportunity, a vote
d tha..ks is to b_* proposcu to Sir
Francis Burdeu, for wha: is cmi«d h »
-onhdciiiuai Letter to his Consutu
.n s.’”
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
“ Tlie case of Sir Francis Burdetfc
it this moment absorbs every conai,
ier^tion. Alter the decision of the
House of Commons, last night that
5ir I rancis should be committed to
the Tower, it was naturally to b- ex
pected that the lion. Baronet would
have been conveyed lo his place of
confinement in the course of this dav,
but to the present period he h. s not
been taken thither—it is expected
however, th tin ihc ‘.;u *
veiling he will be lodged in the low
er, s.ncc I have positive information
that the mode of hit proceeding to
the Set jeant at Arm, has been auan
>;ed with Mr Burdeit Jones, for that
purpose. Various stories ; re in cir
culation with lespcct to the cause
of his non-appearance at this particu
lar juncture, but I will repeat none of
them except that which 1 take to be the
dmpla fact, namely, thatS r Fraud*
tlurdett, anticipating the decision of
t ie House, on this ca*c, and conceiv
ing that it might be some tiins before
it could spend an hour in the bosom
jf his family at his own fire side, deem
:d it proper to join his wife and fami
y at Wimblcuon yesterday afternoon*
whither he tvas seen procctdin;r < n
torst-back about 5 o’clock, accompant
'<! by a man servant. In order to be
nit in possession of the proceedinrs
in the House, he cc.,itcd his broth r
» attend the whole of th~ debate. At
i o’clock this mo ning Mr Column,
die Seijranf, was in p' sst '-s ou of the*
warrant, signed by the S -cakcr, for
he commit al of Sir F. IJurdett to the
lower. it is understood that Sir
Fiancis hs3 ttrerd to the propriety i f
.oing to the Tower private as poj
ible. Be this as it may, an untoin
nonly great sensation h*s been exci
ed. and the town has been all cfav,
■ nd is at present extremely agic..ted.
