The following patriotic long was compoled by a
citizen of Bdfaft on the Anniversary of the French
Revolution.
WMILE tyranny mar.hals his minions around ,
And bids his fierce legions advance,
Fair Freedom ! the hopes of thy Tons to confound —
And reftore his old empire in France.
What friend among men to the right* of mankind,
Bur is fil’d with refentment, to lee
The Satraps of pride and oppreflion combin’d
To prevent a great Land's being free f
Europe's fate on the conteft's decifion depends—
Molt important its i'sus will be—
For Ihould France befubdu’d—Europe's liberty ends—
It llu‘triumphs—tHt WORLD will be frke !
Then let ev’ry true Patriot unite in her caufe,
A caofe of fuch moment to man—
Let all whole fouls Ipnrn at tyrannical laws,
Lend her all the affiftance they can.
May the fpirit of Sparta her armies infpire,
And the Star of America guide !
May a Walhington's wifdorn—x Mirabeau’s fire—
In her camps and her councils prefide l
May her Ions, fatal difcord no longer divide,
*M.>ng lier chiefs no traitors be found,
But may they baited re lilt the rough tide,
Till their toiL oe with victory crown'd.
And at length when fweet Peace from her fpbere
(hall d-dc-nd,
When the fiends of oppreflion have —
Immortal renown fhe 11 thole Heroes attend
Who for Freedom fought—conquer'd—and bled.
Blazon’d high* then their dee is lhall IwellHifrory's
P8gc>
And adorn lofty Poetry’s lays ,•
While fhe mem’ry of Tyrants—the curfe of their
age,
In oblivion s dark BTtile decays.

(By ayout/g man oj Berkeley.)
OEPTjNJE and calm wjs the evening profpect_
O diHnnt-g Pl.cebus had ting’d rhe Wcitern clouds
with a crimion hue—bright Ihone^he reflection on
the op polite Undfcapes—pleas'd with the beauteous
rclplendency I ventured to an adjacent forefc, to re
reive lire fi.lubrious irfl.ix of the gently fanning z.e
phyrs —Melodious channts accompanied my pro
grefs through rhe deep ..zure grove, from the fea
thered i.horilters—with wonder I veiw’d the pro
ductions of wondering nature’s Creator_deep in
Blent meditation I contemplated on the unbounded
refearchcs of Omnip ite.ice.—The diltant liars juft
peeping trout me wnue, blue torface ot heaven, to
affilt pale Cynthia through the mifiy caverns of
hight, filled my mind with indifcrihablc fu.-pri|e,
while i^y eyeslhrunk front the too awful object.—
Night had now o’eriaUrn me—I had wandered much
farther than 1 expected—I turn’d Ihort about to re
turn—guefs my furprife—dole on my tread appear
ed a wearied traveller—with feint accents he icarce
ly articulated a falute—wretchednefs, ntifery anti
poverty feem'd to dwell with his meagre vilage and
tatter’d raiments, Hill from the dull reflection of
tlte moon l could difeern the two confpicuous cha
racters of uielancholly and innocence play triumph
ant on his countenance.—I a.k’d him to accompa
ny me home—with action only he offented, and I
lent him my arm—we foon arrived at the houie
where,hy the afliitanee of nourifhments I revived his
dejected ipirits ; after which, w hen all was quiet,
the feeble orator thus addrelsed me “ Whoever
you are, grateful hrang-’r, receive the warm ac
knowledgments ot one who has now nothing more
ih tii gratitude to off r : your kindoefs fioce 1 over
took you til tile grove has affurcd me that genero
litv^ and humanity frill gluw in the bofoins of I'ome,
tho’ I had nearly pronounced them l'trangers to the
tinm.iu heart ; ItiKeyour tuodefty has hindered you
from requeuing, if you wilt attend I'll narrate a
flight Hu tch of my life,-1 was an enfign in the
lalt war, under Colonel-, I I'erved from the
beginning to the end of the conteft-1 affilted
Montgomery at Quebec, 1 fought with Mercer at
Prtneetown, by my tirie fell the immortal Warren ;
I aili ted, and in afsiftiug rilktd my life, mi all to
gain that zenith ot happinefs which no nation hut
America ever enjoyed — in this conteft, at the bat
tle ot Monmouth, my arm was difabled hy a hall
that entered the wrift — Yet at theconclutionof the
war, tor all my Cervices, I receiv’d certificates, which
necessity afterwards compelled me to difpofe of at
*/t> in. the pound, and government grants a penlion
which fcarcely fupports mylelf, much more a wife
and children. I am now on my way to a friend and
fellow foldier of mine, who has been more fortunate
tima who has promiled to afsilt me. Thus, fir, you
have the circumfrances of my misfortunes—-and the
approach of night occatiuneri my following you to

L AND J lor S A L E,
I WILL ft)l r>n eafy terms,about 804 >cres oi land
lying in Berkehy county, Virginia, pa 11 of which
adjoins the riv -r hotowmac, and includes a rich
bottom of about 130 rod in length, and 30 in
breadth, oppofite to Williams-Port.
This land is contained in two trails, one by pa
tent of 460 acres, which includes the abo\e mention- ,
ed bottom, a‘nd three tenements. The other traf
contains by patent 4C4 acres with only one tene
ment ; the improvements on each of the tenement*
are Inch as are common for tenants—a good jprirg
on each, and fonve fruit. The road leading from
Hagers-(To*wn, through Williams Port to Marlimiurg
and Wiuchtfler, runs hrtough this lard about a mile , ‘
and an half, which makes one cf the tenements a
good Hand for any kind of public bufinrfs, there be
ing about one hundred bearing apple trees, and 7 or
8 acres good meadow, and a market at the door tor
every riling that a farmer could fpare. Nearly the
whole of this land is arable, the loil thin but lively,
nnd particularly adapted to railing heavy grain —
The growth conliHs of oak, hickory, loc’nft, &c«
l’ome large timber, and an abundance of thriving
faplings. The advantages that this property will
receive from its contiguity tc Williams Port (which j
increalmg very rapidly) and Potowmac, the navi^s
tion of which is nearly compleatrd, w ill no doubt dt
a Ihorr period make it an object worthy of >tfentT>
on. A divifion of this land will be made, fo as to
accommodate purchafers, but a preference would be
given to any perfon or perfons who would make a
purchafe of the whole—application to be made to
the lublcriber near Hagers Towjh.

HE Subfcriber returns his thanks to his em

here, and will keep conftant fupplirs of the heft me

Twenty years experience in practice, induces
him to conclude, that he can fave many vifita to the
patients by hearing their complaints at home, from
an intelligible mefsenger, and fend medicine and di
rections (without vifittng the patient fo often as m ai
nectfsary in his youthful days of practice) but mill
conrinue to vifit the patient as often as required.
He alfo will do any kind of writing at reafonable
