Mr. WOLCOTT'S Address To the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES. No. III.
THE second article of charge advanced by the Committee, is, that "some irregularities are stated to have occurred, where monies have been advanced upon the simple application of the Secretary of the Treasury, by letter, without the formality of a warrant, and sometimes even without a previous appropriation; but in these cases, the irregularity, has been afterwards covered by subsequent warrant, and appropriations, and the Committee do not discover, that it has been productive of any injurious consequences to the United States."  Mr. Wolcott admits "that it has been the practice for the Secretary of the Treasury, to direct payments and remittances to be made by letters to the Treasurer, and afterwards to cover the payments by warrants."
He shews that this practice was reported to Congress by a Committee of the House of Representatives, in May 1794, and fully sanctioned by their proceedings upon that report—He states the extent to which the practice has prevailed, and exhibits the just and honourable motives upon which it is justified—The Committee themselves testify that it has been productive of no public injury.
An agreeable English poet somewhere boasts that "he has skill to complain."—If the Committee of Investigation cannot take to themselves the same credit, at least their deficiency will never be imputed to their want of fondness to the occupation—at least they can pride themselves upon having laboured at the task con amore .—Could any thing else but an abstracted love of blame and censure, for its own intrinsic loveliness, induce four men clothed with authority, under the solemn form of an enquiry into the administration of preceding public officers, to brand as irregularities , practices always avowed, deliberately authorized and approved by the legislature, and which they themselves testify to have produced no injurious consequences to the public?—Yes, there is one other inducement capable of producing the same odious effect—the prohibiting spirit of faction.
"3. The expences of the officers and clerks, attached to the seat of government for the removal of themselves and families from Philadelphia to Washington, and amounting, as is stated, to the sum of 32,372 Dollars and 34 Cents, the Committee are of opinion "was drawn from the Treasury and expended without any legal authority."
In answer to this charge, Mr. Wolcott quotes the act of Congress passed on the 16th July 1790; one section of which is in the following words:  "That on the said first Monday in December in the year 1800, the seat of government of the United States, shall by virtue of this Act, be transferred to the district and place aforesaid; and all officers, attached to the said seat of Government, shall accordingly be removed thereto, by their respective holders, and shall, after the said day, cease to be exercised elsewhere; and that the necessary expence of such removal, shall be defrayed out of the duties on imports and tonnage, of which a sufficient sum is hereby appropriated."
By the Law, made at New York, no provision was made for the expences incident to the removal of the public offices from that city to Philadelphia—These, however, were provided for in March 1791, by special Acts of Congress, granting additions to the salaries of the Attorney-General, and the subordinate officers in the Treasury, and to the Clerks in the several offices, adequate to indemnify them for the expences of their removal.—In April 1800 when the final provision for removing to Washington was made, no express appropriation was made to indemnify the clerks in the offices, for the necessary expences incident to the removal, "because it was understood, that the act of July 16, 1790, authorized the allowance of all necessary expences, both to the Clerks and the Officers."
But after the removal is completed, and the expences paid, the Committee of Investigation, who must find or make something to blame in every transaction of the late administration, all of a sudden discover that these expences are not included in the appropriation of the Act passed July 16, 1790.—Because "a strict adherence to the letter of the Law would confine the appropriation to
the expences, actually incurred, in removing the books, papers, records and furniture of the respective offices."
In this instance we know not which to admire most, the liberality of these ingenious gentlemen , or their ingenuity .—Their liberality, in attempting to cast a censure upon an act of the strictest justice to persons entitled to it by every claim of equity—their ingenuity, in devising for this purpose a construction, which makes the books, papers, records, and furniture of an office, constitute the office itself. According to this construction the officers and clerks were under no sort of obligation to remove at all—The only thing to be done was to transport the books, papers, records and furniture, to the banks of the Potomac, and leave them to find a building to contain them, and officers to take care of them as they could. We have heard of a country where to shed blood in the streets was a capital offence—a citizen falls down in an apoplectic fit—a surgeon is instantly called to him—his life depends upon his being immediately bled—the surgeon breathes a vein and saves the patient.—The majority of our committee of investigation would infallibly have hanged that surgeon, unless indeed he had been of their own party; in that case they would have applied their other set of principles .
Let the reader bear in mind that the indemnity, allowed to the clerks and officers, against which the committee object, was so small, that after the removal of Congress to Washington, they made an express additional grant of eleven thousand eight hundred dollars, for the same purpose. "This grant was made (says Mr. Wolcott) after it was publicly and universally known on what principles the expenses, incident to the removal of the government had been adjusted. It was made, after the account, which I personally exhibited on retiring from office, had been printed in the newspapers, and every possible attempt made, by a favorite of the present administration, to excite prejudice against me, on the score of that account."
In the face of all these facts the majority of the committee have not been ashamed to admit this utterly impossible item into the list of their accusations, and to involve Mr. Wolcott personally in it to the amount of five hundred and ten dollars. His justification is founded upon principles as fair, open and honorable, as those of the committee for condemning them are mean, captious and ungenerous. In leaving the decision to an impartial public he adds the following circumstances with a consciousness of unblemished integrity, which, if faction could blush, would suffuse with the deepest scarlet the cheeks of his accusers.
"During nearly twelve years, in which I was in the service of the United States, the aggregate amount of my expenses somewhat exceeded the different compensations I received. These expenses were much below those of some zealous professors of economy. During this whole period, I contracted no debts, except for the necessary expenses of my family. These debts have been fully discharged. I do not recollect to have derived any emolument of a single dollar, for any business or services, except from the United States. I was indeed restrained by law, from engaging in those employments, which afforded a prospect of much profit; but the restriction I imposed on myself was still more extensive; under these circumstances, I cannot perceive, that there existed any obligation on my part, to renounce a just though inconsiderable claim on the public."
To conclude on the subject of this article, he adduces another fact, for the estimation of which the committee must call for their second set of weights and measures.
"Unless it has been closed since his elevation to the presidency, they might have found an account open with Mr. Jefferson as Minister to the Court of France; they might have discovered, that in May 1784, Congress declared that the salary of a Minister of the United States, at a foreign Court, should not exceed nine thousand dollars per annum, and that, notwithstanding this restriction, Mr. Jefferson retained, in addition to his salary, and on the score of personal expenses, a sum considerably exceeding five hundred and ten dollars."
So much for the specific appropriation and the undefined field of contingencies!
LELIUS.
From the New-York Herald.
JEFFERSON & CALLENDER. No. II.
THE Citizen asserts roundly that it is impossible that Mr. Jefferson should have paid Callender the money as asserted.
No; it is not impossible. The fact is too stubborn to be beaten down by the mere assertions of the self-dubbed Cicerone. Mr. Jefferson did give Callender "twice 50 dollars" for writing against the administrations. The truth of the charge does not rest on the veracity of Callender alone; persons are named and appealed to in support of what he alleges. In Callender's last Recorder we find the following passage—
"In the seventh letter to Jones, it was stated that Mr. Jefferson had, unsolicited, sent 100 dollars to assist in printing the two volumes of the Prospect. The money was paid at two different times by his relation, Mr. George Jefferson, who is ready to attest the fact."
But why is not Callender himself entitled to credit? because says the American Citizen, "no reliance could EVER be placed on him." Indeed! How then dared Mr. Jefferson to give his sanction to the writings of a man of this description? With what conscience could he permit them to go into the world? Why did he not when the specimen sheets were before him, at least suggest some correction amendment, revision or alteration? With what face and under what impression could he compliment him as a writer? But above all, why did he pay him the price of his iniquity? These are questions which must be answered in some other way than has yet been attempted, or the object of Democratic adoration must, in the estimation of this whole community, sink into that opprobrium, which men acquainted with his character have long since attached to him.
After a little unmeaning abuse of the last administration, and some very fulsome compliments to Mr. Jefferson, the Citizen proceeds—
"Nay, so far from his standing in need of paying Callender, or any other hiring, for writing against the late administration, with a view to effect the election of himself to the Presidency, it is evident that had it not been for federal arts if not fraud, Adams would not have been elected; Mr. Jefferson would undoubtedly have succeeded Washington to the Presidential Chair."
Pray what were the "federal arts, if not fraud," which are here charged upon us by this alien editor? Where and how were they practised? Was there any thing timelier, any thing fraudulent, in the preference given by a majority of the American people of Mr. Adams to Mr. Jefferson? And yet this is simply the whole amount of subtlety and crime now seriously charged against the federalists. It is degrading enough to our country, that Mr. Jefferson should at any time hold that station in the Government, which was once filled by the great and virtuous Washington; but that he should have been his immediate successor, would have been too injurious to the fame of that illustrious character, and too humiliating to the pride of all who feel a proper interest in the honor of their country. It would have been, by one violent movement, to vibrate from all that was great and good, to the extreme of littleness and depravity. From so sudden a degradation we were saved—not by "arts"—nor by "fraud"—but by those manly sentiments, which had carried us through the revolution, and had so far supported the administration of our Government. The people had not then yielded to that delusion which has since blinded them to the arts of hypocrisy, and made them the dupes of the foulest slander. Modern patriotism had not yet numbered its proselytes; a little accession of strength was still wanting, and powerful auxiliaries were found in those restless and discontented spirits, who, spurning the restraints of Government in the old world, had traversed the ocean in search of freedom in the new; of that freedom which would give full indulgence to their profligate, and licentious dispositions.
With this reinforcement of "distressed fugitives" the "Republicans" made a desperate effort at the last election, and finally succeeded in elevating to that station which a Washington once held, the very man who, during his administration and whilst he himself was one of its members, employed a press in its abuse; who by holding a private language with Genet at variance with his official, exposed himself to the reproaches of this foreigner for his baseness and treachery; who abandoned his post on the first appearance of danger, and withdrew to the groves of Monticello under the declared pretence of bidding a final alien to public life, but who instead of pursuing the "philosophic bent of his mind" was incessantly employed in propping up his own popularity by every dishonorable artifice in his power; who encouraged, nay paid for the vilest calumnies against Washington and his administration—paid for the abuse of him whilst living, and rewarded the unhallowed hands which invaded his sacred tomb and attempted to blast his memory. But the madness which produced this disgraceful event is subsiding; reason is fast resuming her empire, and an indignant people will ere long with becoming scorn hurl the pigmy politician, the hollow-hearted philosopher, from the place which he has usurped in their affections and confidence.
Biographical.
HENRY IV. OF FRANCE.
Henry of Navarre was a resolute, active, and politic prince. He possessed, indeed, great humanity and mildness; but an humanity and mildness that never stood in the way of his interests. He never fought to be loved without putting himself first in a condition to be feared. He used soft language with determined conduct. He asserted and maintained his authority in the gross, and distributed his acts of concession only in the detail. He spent the income of his prerogatives nobly; but he took care not to break in upon the capital; never abandoning for a moment any of his claims which he made under the fundamental laws, nor sparing to shed the blood of those who opposed him, often in the field, sometimes on the scaffold. Because he knew how to make his virtues respected by the ungrateful, he has merited the praises of those whom, if they had lived in his time, he would have shut up in the Bastille, and brought to punishment along with the regicides whom he hanged after he had famished Paris into a surrender. [Burke]
OF DR. JOHNSON.
Dr. Anderson, in his life of this great moralist and lexicographer, after noting his foibles, says,
"With these defects there was, however, scarcely a virtue of which he was not in principle possessed. He was humane, charitable, affectionate and generous. His most intemperate sallies were the effects of an irritable habit; he offended only to repent. To the warm and active benevolence of his heart, all his friends have borne testimony. He had nothing" says Goldsmith "of the bear, but his skin." Misfortune had only to form her claim, in order to found her right to the use of his purse, or the exercise of his talents. His house was an asylum for the unhappy, beyond what a regard to personal convenience would have allowed; and his income was distributed in support of his inmates, to an extent greater than general prudence would have permitted. The most honorable testimony to his moral and social character, is the cordial esteem of his friends and acquaintances. He was known by no man by whom his loss was not regretted."
It will be to the everlasting honor of George the Third, that in the year 1762 he settled a pension of 300l. per annum on Dr. Johnson, "as a recompence for the honor which the excellence of his writings and the benefit which their moral tendency, had been of to Great Britain."
PASSAWAN OGLU.
It is asserted that Passawan Oglou, was formerly a Prussian officer, broke for having embezzled the pay of the soldiers, and that he took refuge in Turkey, where he embraced the Mahometan religion. His daughter, who is said to reside at present at Settin, with the widow of M. Schulz, Prussian Counsellor, has it is said lately received a letter from him, accompanied with 6000 Imperial crowns, and an invitation to go to him. It is added that Passawan Oglou has written to the king of Prussia, to request a passport for his daughter.
From a late London Paper.
As a consolation to topers, we state the following fact:—A farmer of the department of Morbinan in France, died a few days ago, at the very advanced age of 94—He boasted, some days before his death, of having, in the course of his life, drank 1300 barrels of cyder; 260 hogheads of wine, and 60 pipes of brandy, real Nantz. He was married three times, had several children by each of his wives; and the day previous to his death he was at the wedding of the grand-daughter of one of the girls he had by his first wife.

NATIONAL ELECTION.
In our last we gave a statement of the districting of Maine, for the choice of Federal Representatives...
FEDERAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
KENNEBEC, or First District, Phineas Bruce, Esq.
LINCOLN, or Second District, Col. Samuel Thacher.
CUMBERLAND or Third District, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth.
YORK, or Fourth District, Hon. John Lord.
All those who are not willing to prostrate our national glory at the feet of a Virginia faction...
"CITIZEN KINSLEY."
This man, to be sure, is brought forward as the jacobin candidate, against Phineas Bruce, Esq.
"The citizen, it is well known, once figured as a follower of Shays; he afterwards exerted his humble talent in opposing the constitution...
We are happy to find by the last Kennebec Eagle, that Mr. Lord will be handsomely supported in York district.
CHARACTER FOR A STATESMAN.
"A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a Statesman."
The Foreign Intelligence
In the last Gazette announced that Bonaparte was proclaimed Chief Consul of France for life.
NEW FRENCH CONSTITUTION.
PARIS, AUG. 5, 1802. The Council of State yesterday sent a "SENATUS CONSULTUM" for organizing the Constitution to the Conservative Senate.
The most prominent feature of this System is to consolidate all Power in the hands of the Chief Magistrate...
The other branches of the Executive
Department have also undergone material alterations. The two other Consuls are for life, they are also Members and Presidents of the Senate.
The Senate is altogether deprived of that Power which it formerly possessed of correcting the abuses of the Government...
The present constitution has wholly destroyed the independence of the Senate. It was before organized in such a manner, as to enable it to exercise a very considerable degree of power...
PARIS, AUG. 4, 1802.
At the Levee yesterday, Citizen Barthelemy, President of the Conservative Senate, addressed Bonaparte in a speech...
"A new career commences for the First Consul—after prodigies of valor and military talents, he has terminated the War, and obtained every where the most honorable conditions of Peace.
"Already an Administration of less than three years has almost made us forget that epoch of anarchy and calamities which seemed to have dried up the sources of public prosperity."
"The Senatus Consultum which the Senate in a body now present to you, Citizen, First Consul, contains the expression of its own gratitude.
Citizen Barthelemy then read the following
SENATUS CONSULTUM.
Extracts from the Registers of the Conservative Senate.
AUGUST 2. The Conservative Senate, &c. having seen the report of the Committee for that purpose, which states, that 3,577,259 Citizens have given their suffrages...
ART. 1. The French people do appoint and the Senate do proclaim, Napoleon Bonaparte First Consul for life.
2. A Statue of Peace, holding in one hand the laurel of Victory, and in the other the Decree of the Senate, shall attest to posterity the gratitude of the Nation.
3. The Senate shall convey to the First Consul the expression of the confidence, the love and the admiration of the French People.
(Signed) BARTHELEMY, President.
The First Consul replied as follows: "SENATORS, The life of a citizen belongs to his country.—The people of France with that the whole of mine should be consecrated to their service, and I obey.—In giving me this new, this permanent pledge of their confidence, they have imposed upon me the duty of maintaining the system of the laws and institutions of the Republic.
small as they deserve, be the most happy and their happiness shall contribute to that of all Europe.
"Content, with having been called by the order of him from whom every thing emanates, to bring back upon the earth justice, order, and equality, I shall bear my last hour found without regret, and without any uneasiness about the opinions of future generations.
"Senators, receive my thanks for this solemn proceeding. The desire of the Senate has expressed the wish of the people of France, and is thereby more strongly connected with whatever remains to be done for the happiness of the people of France.

The late proceedings in France are of a nature to interest every reader. We are yet to learn how they will set on the shoulders of the French people. If weary of continual revolution, they are willing to bear the burden of despotism, perhaps Bonaparte will make it fit lighter than any one beside. But who will be so audacious as to say France is not still a republic!
The following Circular Letter has been sent by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects of the different Departments, dated Paris, 4th July.
"I send you, Citizen Prefect, the Senate's Consultum, which proclaims the Will of the French people. You will cause it to be proclaimed throughout the whole of your department on the 15th of August. That day shall hereafter be consecrated by the recollection of great events. It will recall to our posterity the recollection of the memorable epocha of public happiness, when the consciences of the people were at peace, and when the people of France exercised the greatest act of Sovereignty ever exercised by any nation."
"The 15th of August is at once the Anniversary of the birth day of the Chief Consul, of the Signature of the Concordat, and the day on which the people of France, wishing to secure and perpetuate their happiness, have connected its duration with that of the glorious career of Napoleon Bonaparte."
"What pleasing recollections to excite the enthusiasm of the French people! What a concurrence of great events to awaken in every heart those generous sentiments which characterize the French nation!"
"Let this great day be celebrated by acts of benevolence. I invite you, Citizen Prefect, to consecrate the whole of it to happiness, by uniting in marriage those individuals who are most eminent for their virtue."
(Signed) "CHAPTAL."
From New York, Sept 29. Arrived yesterday, the brig Virginia, Dubeney, in 53 days from Havre-de-Grace.—Capt. D. informs us, that on his passage he spoke a vessel, (the Magnet) that had spoken another very recently from Calais, giving information that several American vessels had been captured by French privateers; and that two of them had been re-captured by our Squadron in the Mediterranean, which, at the same time, made prizes of several of the Moorish Cruisers.
We are further informed by capt. Dubeney, that the day he failed, news had reached Havre from Paris, of an additional duty having been laid upon pepper, imported into France in foreign vessels. This duty was so high, that it amounted to a prohibition, as far as it respects foreign vessels. An additional duty was also expected on sugar, which occasioned a considerable advance in price on this article.
From Hartford (Conn.) Sept. 27.
THE JUDICIARY. On Friday, the 17th inst., the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Connecticut, composed of Judges Washington and Law, was opened in this town. At the opening of the Court on Saturday, the Defendants in two actions which were continued from the April term, pleaded in substance. That the cases were instituted before the Circuit Court of the second Circuit of the United States, held at New-Haven in April last, for the District of Connecticut, composed of the Hon. Egbert Benson, Oliver Wolcott and Samuel Hitchcock, who, in pursuance of a law of Congress, passed in February, 1801, had been appointed Judges of that Court, and whose commissions, having never been vacated, were now in force, and that the actions were now depending before the Court composed of the said Benson, Wolcott, and Hitchcock; and therefore the Defendants prayed the said Judges Washington and Law to take no further cognizance of the actions. In consequence of this objection to the legal authority, and existence of the Court, all the business of the Court was continued. The pleas to the jurisdiction were not argued, but by agreement of the parties were continued to the next term. It is understood that similar questions will be raised, and probably decided, in the other districts during the present circuit. Nothing so interesting to the people of the United States has occurred since the existence of our government. It is before the court, the question must be determined, whether one distinct, independent branch of our constitution has not been madly sacrificed at the shrine of Democracy. The effect of this decision either way, involves considerations of the highest moment to the future concerns of the country.
From a London Paper. To the Members of the Society of People called Quakers, in England.
DEAR FRIENDS, However novel it may appear, that one of your brethren should think it expedient to address you through the channel of a newspaper, he nevertheless conceives himself justified in the attempt, and hopes the important subject now before him will be a sufficient apology, and exonerate him from improper innovating or breaking in upon that ancient practice handed down to us from our forefathers. We feel with concern, infidel and deistical principles spreading over this kingdom, tending to destroy the morals of the people, and introduction of anarchy and confusion both in church and state. To prevent these enormous evils, to keep at a distance that disorganizing spirit which has brought such ruin on
neighboring nation, is the duty of every sincere christian. It is an incontrovertible fact, that all the apostles to christianity, deists and infidels, have attached themselves to the pretended advocates of liberty and equality, who call themselves republicans, democrats, &c. &c. To keep all such out of places of trust and power in this nation, is the duty of every lover of his country, and will be one good step towards quenching that dangerous unhallowed fire already kindled amongst us. As the election for Parliament men is approaching, let us unite as one man to discountenance the promotion of every candidate who we have reason to suspect is under the influence of that political mania, which has overspread the fairest portion of the globe. It was formerly a practice with friends to take the sense of the body collectively in times of persecution; upon this subject it is equally incumbent upon us now to be united. There are some weak, well meaning brethren amongst us, who refuse to go to elections, urging for excuse, they are not easy to join in promoting a party spirit. Those who are better informed might easily remove their doubts, by shewing them that by a neglect in this respect, they may be the cause of the ruin of all religious and civil freedom in this land, and entail on their posterity irretrievable misery, and draw down the wrath of an offended Deity, by placing men in power, who mock at his attributes and deny the Gospel of his Son.
A MEMBER. London, 4th mo. 15th, 1802.
A very important Secret in Agriculture was made known for the communication of which 200 guineas was previously subscribed. It is a preventative for turnips against the insect called fly. "The discovery is to sow 2 lb. of radish seed on every acre of turnip land, with the turnips, which the inventor declares, will so attract the fly, as to prevent its proving at all injurious to the turnip." —London paper.

Life of Washington.
THE subscriber having purchased of the Hon. BUSBROO WASHINGTON, the Copyright of the History of the late General GEORGE WASHINGTON, Commander in Chief of the Armies of North America, during the war which effected the Independence of our country, and First President of the United States—has it now in his power to offer to the public the following
PROPOSALS
For publishing it by Subscription. The work will be faithfully composed under the inspection of Judge Washington himself, principally from the original papers bequeathed to him by the deceased General. On its correctness the most entire confidence may be placed.
The Life of this illustrious citizen necessarily comprises so large and interesting a portion of the History of this Country, that the work, it was conceived, would be rendered much more complete, as well as much more gratifying to the reader, by connecting with it some general account of the origin and progress of the people, who were conducted, under his auspices, from dependent colonies to self-government.
A compendious view, therefore, will be taken, by way of introduction to the Life of General Washington, of the settlements of the Europeans in North America, and of the advance of the British Colonies from their feeble and infantine condition, until they attained that state of manhood, when with arms in their hands, they asserted and established their Independence.
Various circumstances have delayed the execution of the work; but it is now in considerable forwardness, and will soon be ready for the press.—Bond with security has been given that it shall be published.
CONDITIONS.
The work will be handsomely printed, with a new type, on vellum paper, HOT-PRESSED, to be comprised in four or five octavo volumes, of from 450 to 500 pages each, and embellished with an elegant portrait of the General, engraved by the best artist in the country from an original painting by the celebrated Stuart. The price to subscribers will be Three Dollars each volume, in boards; and the price of one volume to be paid in advance, on subscribing; this advance to be continued with each volume, until the work is completed. To nonsubscribers it will be enhanced.
It is intended to furnish plans and charts of those parts of the country which were the scenes of the most important events during the war; these to be published in a volume by themselves, and charged as such.
It is contemplated to put the work to press early next year. The intermediate time will be occupied in obtaining subscribers, and making arrangements for printing.
The names of subscribers to be published.
Those who wish to be possessed of this invaluable history, will do well to transmit their names early. In the country, and in small villages, an union can take place among all who mean to subscribe, and in one letter several names may be forwarded, specifying the number of copies, and enclosing the requisite advance money.
The publisher intending to visit many of the large towns in the United States, for the purpose of obtaining subscribers, declines, at present, employing agents for that purpose—Subscriptions will be received by himself alone, at No. 30, Market Street, Philadelphia.
Orders from Canada, Nova Scotia, and the West Indies, will be received, and punctually executed.
All letters must have the postage paid. Philadelphia, Sept. 22. C. P. WAYNE.

Poetry.
RODOLPH.
The following beautiful BALLAD is a translation from the French, by Bercford—It is copied from the Salem Register.
RODOLPH, in paternal hall, Breathe'd from war's destructive scene; Rodolph, prompt at glory's call, Rode up, dread of hostile Gaul; Dread of Moor of Swarthy skin;
He a gallant son deplores, Last of all his noble stem: Whil' it, amid the mofs grown tow'rs, As his tender wail he pours Echo wails the mournful theme.
Agnes, deck'd with golden hair, Prop's his age, and fills his sigh; Mild as dove, as May morn fair, Soothes a parent's sad despair, Wipes the tear that dms his eye.
Yet, herself in silent woe, Pines by moonlight solemn gleam: Albert, youth of open brow, Breathes for her the tender vow, And fair Agnes sighs for him.
Haughty Raymond, at whose side, Five score martial youths appear, Swell with vain heraldic pride, Vainly his trophies far and wide, And old Rodolph held him dear.
Albert, once on festive day, Kiss'd her hand as lily fair; Agne's eyes, in soft dismay, Chiding frowns would fain betray; But they only shew'd a tear!
Raymond marks the tender dame, Eyes askance his thinning blade; Love and rage his cheeks inflame, Wild and fierce his eye balls gleam, And around their fury shed.
Straight his gauntlet, threat'ning war, On her virgin lap he laid; 'Take it, Albert, and repair 'Neath the mill;—I'll wait thee there." Swift he mounts and scours the mead.
Albert hears the fierce defy, Mounts his steed to seek the foe; Proud the graceful tear to spy, Trickling from the maiden's eye;— Love and honor bade it flow.
Red their burnish'd arms appear, Gleaming in the setting sun, Hark! their courfers fierce career Shakes the plain—the trighted deer To their inmost covert run.
Agnes, from the castle wall, Casts a wistful look beneath: Boding fears her heart appal— Straight the faw her Albert fall; Saw—and clos'd her eyes in death.
Back the victor falt'ring hies, (Anxious doubts his breast invade.) Hears the wail of woe arise, To the fair one's chamber flies; Starts—and falls upon his blade!
Rodolph snatch'd his darling care, Held her to his throbbing breast; Torp'd, lost in dumb despair, Clasp'd the cold unconscious fair, Two long days—then sunk to rest!
Literary.
A supplement to Dr. JOHNSON'S Dictionary is to be published in England, by the Rev. Jonathan Boucher; in doing which, he resorts to more ancient authorities than his great prototype generally did. "It was the object of Dr. Johnson (says the prospectus) to furnish his countrymen with a Dictionary of the English language, only, as spoken and written by the best speakers, and best modern authors. It is the object of this SUPPLEMENT to enable those who consult it, to read, and to relish, our ancient British classics; to exhibit a full historical view of our speech as it was formerly spoken; and thus to show that, in language as in politics, "to innovate is not always to reform."
Natural History.
To the Editor of the Newyork Commercial Advertiser.
RATTLE SNAKES are generally, but erroneously, considered as the most formidable of reptiles. Their most favorite abode is a rocky or stony country. They issue from these dens when the spring is well advanced, and make a journey of six or seven miles, but they always return home again before the frost sets in. They have the blackest eye of any animal whatever. The male is larger than female, and blacker, but more vicious. Hogs, and especially ravenous old sows, will devour them, but always leave the head untouched. They multiply very soon, but not one fourth part of their young ones live to maturity. The young ones are harmless and tarry at home till three or four years old, when they begin to make journeys with the old ones. Rattle-snakes have been found with nineteen rattles, by which their age is known, but as the rattles are exposed to wear away, and break off, they are not, on this account, a certain criterion. The persons best acquainted with them, and their next neighbors, never saw one marked by age or decipitude. Their bite is venomous, but so cured. They are very bold, and seldom retreat when attacked. Their food is birds, squirrels, &c.
The above is the substance of the information respecting the Rattle-snake, given me by a new settler in the back part of this state, who is not only generally intelligent, but has bestowed particular attention on this yet imperfectly known animal.
I am, sir, your most obedient serv't. A. Z.

Agricultural.
TO AGRICULTURE.
THOU first of arts, source of domestic ease, Pride of the land, and patron of the seas, Thrift Agriculture! lend thy potent aid, Spread thy green fields where savage forests shade; Where savage men pursued their savage prey, Let the white flocks in verdant pastures play; From the bloom'd orchard and the flowery vale, Give thy rich fragrance to the gentle gale; Reverend with ample loon the laborer's hand, And pour thy gladdening bounties o'er our land, Columbia's Son! spurn not the rugged toil; Thy nation's glory is a cutar'd soil; Rome's Cincinnatus of illustrious birth, Increas'd his laurels while he till'd the earth, E'en China's monarch lays his sceptre down, Nor deems the task unworthy of a crown.
From a LEXINGTON PAPER.
An easy method to preserve Wheat from the Weevil.
AS you stack Wheat, on every two or three layers of sheaves, spread some Elder leaves and branches.—This was communicated to me by a Farmer, who tried the experiment with success last year. The same informant adds, that he has read in some history that the same remedy has been applied in Europe, when they had occasion to lay up seven years stores, &c. As the remedy is easy, it is hoped that farmers will avail themselves of the advantage. Exporters of flour from this state have nothing so much to fear—Inspectors ought to be gaurded against this evil—no such flour ought to be suffered to leave the state.—The credit of our flour is to have abroad, depends upon the inspectors.
N. B. Lime applied as above, will produce the same effect.
A FARMER.
The richest milk known in Europe is afforded by a small breed of cows that are natives of Alderney and some other small islands off the coast of France. This breed resemble the deer as much as the ox.—Salem Gazette.
Resolute Contest.
ALBANY, SEPT. 16.
A few weeks since, Mr. Harmanus Van Slyck, jun. being at his father in-law's, about four miles from Schenectady, was informed that a wolf was in the yard with the sheep: he with another man entered the yard, where they discovered a large, full grown wolf—they threw something at him, on which he immediately sprang at Mr. Van Slyck, evidently to seize him by the throat—he thrust his hand forward to keep him off, but which the wolf caught in his mouth—he attempted to extricate his hand, but finding that impossible, he seized the upper jaw of the wolf with his left hand—a scuffle ensued, in which he brought the wolf to the ground, and with his knee on his shoulder, to keep him down, called for assistance, which immediately came, and the throat of the wolf was cut whilst Van Slyck's hands were in his mouth. The next day they brought him to Schenectady. Mr. Van Slyck's hand was considerably hurt, but no other injury sustained.
Terrific Tornado.
Newburyport, Sept. 24.
Wednesday last a most violent hurricane was experienced in Newbury and Salisbury; the course of the wind was from S. W. to N. E. unaccompanied with rain or lightning, the clouds exhibited a most portentous appearance, the vein of wind was confined to a narrow compass, not more than 30 rods wide, and swept almost every thing in its course.—At Newbury a part of the dwelling house of Mr. David Bartlett was taken entire from the floor, and carried several rods, leaving the astonished family with no other covering than the canopy of heaven,—no one was injured.—Mr. Bartlett's barn was likewise blown over. The house of Widow Bartlett was much injured, and barn blown entirely to pieces; a house of Mr. John Davis, was much hurt, and a new barn entirely demolished.—It then crossed the Merrimack just above this town whirling vast quantities of water into the air, and at Salisbury, two houses were unroofed and materially damaged—one barn was blown entirely to pieces, and another unroofed.—The house and one barn, the property of Mr. Ezekiel Jones, the other belonging to the Widow Presly.—The orchard of a Mr. Morrill, in the same neighborhood, consisting of 80 or 90 trees was almost entirely destroyed. The sturdy oak could not withstand the fury of the winds, but those of 2 or 3 feet through were twisted off and levelled with the ground—fences, stacks of hay, &c. were almost entirely destroyed; in short it was one of the most tremendous scenes this part of the country ever witnessed. We have not, however, heard of any lives being lost.
