(PETER PORCUPINE
Has published ^n Enumeration
of the Confiscations, Contribu
tions, and Requisitions, of the
French Republic, since the commence
ment of their Revolution. It is a long
and black catalogue ; and goes to Ihew
the fatal confequeoces of a French bug.
He dedicates it, byway of admonition,
to the merchants, traders, land and
house proprietor?, in the United States.
His dedication concludes thus]=
'' THE words of the scripture, ref
pefiing the Antediluvian, may with
great joftice be applied to you : " And
they were eating and drinking, marry
ing and given in marriage, until the
flood came." Ifthe text had continu
ed on to fay, that they were peculating
also, it would have been a ferophefy as
well as a historical relation ; for, de
pend upon it, a Deluge, full as dreadful
as that of old, awaits your property, if
not yourselves, unless you immediately
arouse from that indifference, which
you entertain for the public Veal.
"You will laugh at this, I know.
You will call me a visionary fool. Three
,eart hence, however, you will recoiled
what I now tell you.
'* The sum of French fraternity, as
far as it has hitherto proceeded, a
moents to 1,691,757,374 L . S. that is,
sixteen hundred and ninety.one millions,
seven hundred and fifty seven thousand,
three hundred and fe w^y-four pounds
flerling!!! The numeration makesl
my head swim, and it will certainly
make your hearts ache, if yon refl+R on
the pollibility of its being your fate to
swell this totaLinto round numbers/^

cles taken from each country, it con

Should any one find this calculation
.overrated, he will plcafe to consider,
that all the countries conquered by the
Ffeneh nation were the most rich, pop
ulous, industrious, and fruitful, parts
of the continent, and that this turbu
lent republic has at prefers the best
fourth part of Europe under her com
mand. She-has so rounded and forti
tied liesftlf, that she is enabled to keep
all nations in a fate Os perpetual ag
itation.
N. B. The depredations on Ameri
can commerce are not included.
IT is Angular, that, Voltaire whose
memory was indolized by his coun
trymen as the commencement of the
new order of things in France, should
have Condemned by anticipation the ex
travagant theories and wild exc^ffes of
the revolution's, with more trutli and
severity than any other writer. Speak
ing of the abuses which had taken place
in the time of Lewis XV. he fays—
" Minds have been found deranged
enough to sap all the foundations of so
ciety, under the presence of reform. —
There have been persons mad enough
tS maintain that tuum & meam are crimes
—& that we should not enjoy the fruits
of our labour—and that all men are
equal."
A COUNTRY Apothecary, not
a little distinguished for his im
pudence, with a hope of difeoncerting
a young Clergy man whom he knew t o
be a man of Angular modesty, alked
him, in the bearing of a large company
at a public assembly,„, Whythe Patri
arches of old lived to such an extreme
age To which the Clergyman re
plied, " I suppose the ancient Patri
archs took no phjfic /" ' 1
