NEW-YORK, May 8.
V ESTERDAY the Actualization Bill, in
1 favour of the late Emigres, palled ihto a
law. It mux be a pleating reflection to every real
filend to Ills country, to hnd upwards of two hun
dred uleHl and 4e|pe6tabic Lwje&s added by this
Dili to the State, fance the peace, and more espe
cially as it is a convincing proof es the good opi
nion foreigners entertain cf us. In our infant
fit nation it is certainly,good poliu/ to give Grangers
every realonable encouragement; much depends
upon firft impression,. and local c onvunicrce ought
never to be preferred to the general good; ary
personal illiberality at this time, may turn out 111
tendency, not only a disappointment to those (per
haps ill calculated to bear it,) but also a loss and
grievance to the public, by suppressing genius and
preventing the future efforts of merit.

A T the particular requed cf Several customers
TA and correspondents, we i uw take thdiiberty
to insert the fobowing adidavits, lately taken in *
New-Yoij, against General Herder ^Do^ll;
proving him guilty of attempting to a&ffinate men
who differed with, him 111 ^ ohtical tenets.
z\ tudden and,unexpected change has Since taken
place in his political opinio, .s, and, he has now
become apparently the greater friend and advocate
of feme of those very ciraraders, whom, with un
parallelied inhumanity and the muffuhblefhinff de
liberation, lie once intended Should Mil a Sacrifice
to his barbarous pnrofr+lf „% chambers had
at that timorendcYl Ihemfelvcs to conspicuously
obnoxious to the country,, the public would be
glad to know what meritorious act they haye since
performed, to attract arid engage his peculiar
patronage and forote&ion? lire Lord Sometimes
works miracles; but the human mind is regular
and gradual in the exercise of its Sentiments, and it
is impossible thet a man can immediately, and in
the firff inffance, change an opinion he has. long
adopted and retained, as that any elevation or rank
in life can givepurity to, cf attach a heart naturally
base-born and bad. -

In some subsequent paper we fh^ll be more ex

levere Satire, written in a period famous for its
enormous vices. 9 lt is no wonder the Mule should
have dipped her pen in gall. The^ picture might
have been designed for a particular character of
old; but as we find a. parallel in our own day, we
are happy in lafliing-one who is so happy as to
excel his mafieiv . 1
'• Sataa 's firft bprn, vers'd in his parent's (kill,
With mind corrupt and vice-infected will,
Hero in rapine, subtle in deceit,
Of evil studious and in evil great,
Cunftantly firm,* unshaken, still the fame,
Deaf to remorse, and loft to sense of shame,
I sing; fell furies, from your dens below,
Y out friaky locks, and hissing horrors show,
And vice, infernal Goddess, hither rife,
While thy son's afts the shuddering world surprise,
Attend, while I the various feencs explore,
Though born in Hell, of ill ye know no more.
In early years, wheninftina fhew'd the way,
'Ere dawning reason shed her glimm'ring ray,
'Ere limulation's artful veil began.. r
To cloak his heart arid hide the real man, r .
Soon falfehood feiz'd his early-tainted heajt,
Vv ith her came fraud, each truth-detesting art;
Jalsehoop, prime Senator of vice; begins,
Opens the path, prepares for greater fins, #
Pregnant of irj (chief; lurking pie'll remain,
'Till rip'ning dime brings forth herhorrid train.
In gen'rous minds white glow heroic fires,
Afeffination his inipibus bread ihfpires,•
Like some dire monger of infernal brood,
He dabs in darkness + and delights in blood;
His hell-born deeds he plods without controul,
Tho' fpurn'd, detested, .by each patriot foul;
Oft have the ftar§ his balenefs view'd by night
But hid in shame, and veil'd their modest light.
Though crimes jud vengeance, often seem t'evade,
Deeper it drikes the longer 'tis delay'd.
Tne fori of vice now rises up again,
Designs new mifehief, mor designs in vain,
Oppression and injustice join their force,
Combine their rage and swell bis rapid course;
With these the wish'd for height of vice he climbs.
And heaps the o'erfo^ing measure of his crimes.
Wkn to this monster his own bread [hall tell
His various crimes, and be a racking Hell;
Vain from his gnawing guilt he flies away,
The horrid feehe his consciences will display..
When justice for his crimes to death {half call,
Contemn'd, abhofr'd, unpity'd he shall fall;
No friendto him his lad devoirs shall pay,
No bard shall sing his elegiack lay.",-,
* Steadiness is the perfection of virtue and the
height of vice.. Our modern [Nero, though firm
