"Vainly'd 'into air, thin air,' and, 'Like the baseless fabric of a vision,' 'Left not a trace behind.'" Tell it in Cats ! Publish it in the streets of Boston ! the President of the United States once rode to the Capitol on horseback; and tied his horse to—A PEG !!—If, by proclaiming this intolerable outrage to the people, we should not succeed in dragging him, at once, from his elevation, we may, at least, excite an infarriat in; and, in avenging the insult, you may rely on the faithful services of your ardent college SICINIUS VELUTUS.
From the (Trenton) TRUE AMERICAN. To M rs . SHERMAN & MERSON, Editors of the " Trenton Federalist. " [Applicable to the Newport Mercury , and its Editors.]
Gentlemen, WHEN I addressed you through the medium of the True American of last week, I did not expect to soon have found occasion to renew my address. But on glancing a second time over your paper of the 5th July, I discovered, amidst a number of falsehoods and scurrilities with which its columns are crammed, an article which, as it is calculated to deceive and mislead the people, and to detract from the well-earned popularity of our present constitutional rulers, demands some exposure. That those whole hands are too pure to be sullied with your polluted finger, and who consequently have not had an opportunity of seeing the article to which I allude, may be gratified with a full view of it, I here insert it entire:
"SAVINGS." "The Democrats allow that Mr. Jefferson has let slip through his economical fingers the following sums of the people's money: 1 st . His own salary, which it was expected he had the power and was so lovingly disposed, he would not insist upon; yet he has drawn it all from the Treasury, and it is, for one year, from 4th March 1801 to 4th March 1802, Dolls. 25,000 2 d . He advanced to Ben Daw- son, for carrying President Adams's message to France, (which any supercargo or captain of a merchant vessel would have carried for asking,) 30,000 3 d . He has laid out in repairing the "Bureau" after the war, agreed to be delivered to the French, and was a French vessel, 32,000 4 th . He has raised, or caused to be raised, the salaries of his secretaries and officers, yearly, 15,000 5 th . He foolishly discharging several hundred marines, who had received jobs and bounties, and then, when they were wanted soon after to fend against the Tripolitan pirates , being obliged to raise new recruits, and to pay a fresh bounty and give new clubs, it cost the United States extra, 10,000 6 th . By casting the Internal taxes , which were laid on rehind sugar, molasses, stamps, pleasure carriages, licenses to sell wines and auction licenses , (and of course fell on the rich and voluptuous) he has cut with an income into the Treasury of the yearly sum of 900,000 7 th . Thirty thousand dollars expended upon that part of his mortgage for destroying the judiciary , which must again be revived, 30,000 8 th . Extra charges on the session of Congress, in consequence of his pernicious message, 8,000 Dollars, 1,060,000
Making in the whole, for only one year, a needlessly expenditure and loss of above ten hundred thousand dollars!—Where of upwards of nine hundred thousand of those dollars will be lost every year during his administration! This is the juvius President —the friend of the people! From such friends may God deliver A POOR MAN.
THE above is copied, word for word, from your paper of the 5th July. (See Newport Mercury of July 13.)—Any person of common understanding, who reads it with the least attention, will instantly discover its fallacy; and every man of common honesty must abhor the vile spirit which can employ such base means to bring into contempt the lawful authorities of our country.—Let us for a moment investigate this specious statement.
The 1 st charge against the President is, that he has drawn from the Treasury his own salary, for one year ending the 4th of March last.
It is, Gentlemen, an ancient maxim, contained in a volume for which you pretend much veneration, though you habitually violate its precepts and disobey its injunctions, that " The laborer is worthy of his hire. " If this maxim was true as it regarded our former Presidents, how much more evidently so as it regards our present? Never did a more difficult or arduous task devolve upon a public officer, than that undertaken by Mr. Jefferson at his elevation to the chief magistracy, of checking the corruptions and reforming the abuses which had crept, or rather which had stalked into the administration of our government during the presidency of his predecessor. This task he has executed in a manner which exceeds the most sanguine hopes of the warmest friends to the political system which he put in operation—in a manner which must not only endear him to his fellow-citizens for the zeal he has discovered to promote their present and permanent welfare, but excite their admiration at the masterly talents he has displayed in the conception and accomplishment of his various plans of reformation and improvement.—Mr. Jefferson has drawn from the treasury but the salary allowed him by law, and en-
joyed by his predecessors in office. And will it be said that his duty has been easier or his labor less than theirs?—Shall Mr. Jefferson, who by his wise and virtuous policy has contrived to diminish immensely the expenses of government, and to relieve his fellow-citizens from an enormous mass of vexatious and oppressive taxation, be envied the reward which was freely bestowed upon Mr. Adams, for squandering millions of money drawn from the dripping brow of industry, and for heaping new burthens on the backs of a people already bending beneath a load?—If Mr. Adams deserved his salary, is Mr. Jefferson undeserving of his?—Let his Constituents judge, whether by drawing his legal wages from the treasury, he has unjustly made use of their money.
The 2 d charge is, that Mr. Jefferson advanced 30,000 dollars to Mr. Dawton for carrying President Adams's treaty to France, which might have been sent by private conveyance. If, Gentlemen, the treaty could as well have been sent to France by private conveyance, how happened it that Mr. Adams did not discover it? Do you not know that it was by his orders the Maryland ship of war was prepared and provisioned to carry out Mr. Bayard, who had been appointed by Mr. Adams to take the treaty to France? Do you not know that Mr. Jefferson, on coming into office, but made use of the same vessel, and even the same vessel, for Mr. Dawton, that had been provided by Mr. Adams, previous to his leaving office, for Mr. Bayard, who declined the mission?—If in the measure of sending the treaty to France by a public agent, in a public armed vessel, be improper or criminal, is not the impropriety or criminality justly attributable to Mr. Adams? And is it not the height of injustice to censure Mr. Jefferson for an expense, that was incurred before he came into office?—Gentlemen, a small error is discoverable in your estimate of the expense of sending the treaty to France. You say, "the President advanced to Mr. Dawton, for carrying the treaty to France, 30,000 dollars."—I say, and can prove it by an official statement, that the whole expense of the voyage was but 728 dollars.—How small is the regard for truth manifested by you in this, as in almost every other instance!
The 3 d charge is, of expending 32,000 dollars in repairing the Bureau, after it was known the war was to be delivered up to France.
This charge has been the topic of much ill-natured animadversion—with what justice, let Candor decide. During the state into which Mr. Adams and his councils had plunged us, when we had actually commenced hostilities against France without the consent of Congress, which the Constitution declares is necessary to authorize hostility, one of our armed vessels pursued and fired upon the Bureau corvette, when peaceably prosecuting her voyage. This attack was spiritedly resented. A severe engagement ensued. Our arms were victorious, and the Bureau was captured. In the treaty which Mr. Adams made with France, the restoration of public vessels, on both sides, was particularly stipulated.—Under this stipulation the Bureau was restored. As we were the aggressors, was it not proper, was it not strictly just, that she should be restored in the same condition the war was previous to the attack she sustained from our frigate?—Mr. Adams's Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Stoddert, whom no one will accuse of a partiality for France, gave it as his opinion that it was right and expedient to repair the Bureau, and advised to the measure. The money expended for her repairs, was legally drawn from a sum appropriated to the Navy department.—Where is the criminality of Mr. Jefferson's conduct in this affair, when justly represented? Would you with the peace and prosperity of the nation to be put in jeopardy, by irritating France with illiberal and unjust constructions of the treaty we had so much trouble to obtain? Or was it most prudent to give to the treaty its just construction, and avoid all disagreeable and dangerous disputes about a sum scarcely equal to the value of one of our merchant-men, of which France restored to us seventeen even before the treaty was concluded?—Besides, Gentlemen, the depreciations of the French upon our commerce, before and after your party so pettishly annulled our treaty with France, amount to several millions of dollars. In our late treaty with France, your favorite Adams and your Federal Senate, unaccountably renounced all claims to compensation for the spoliation committed upon our commerce by French vessels! And left our merchants to obtain compensation for their losses how and where they could. Upon the honor of France, then, depends the restitution of our captured property. If she is kept in a good humor, by a conciliatory conduct on our part, she may be inclined to restore our property. If we irritate her by a cavilling disposition, our merchants may relinquish all hopes of restitution from the French government.—Of how much consequence is it then for us to cultivate a favorable disposition in France, if only from selfish and pecuniary motives?—And how imprudent would Mr. Jefferson have been, to have forfeited the returning friendship of France, and with it the claims of our merchants for several millions of dollars, by giving to the treaty a construction which common sense and common justice would disclaim?
The 4 th charge is, for raising, or causing to be raised, the salaries of his secretaries & officers.
This charge, Gentlemen, you know perfectly well to be utterly false. You know that the law raising the salaries of these officers was passed by a Federal Congress, and approved by a Federal President, Mr. Adams, in the year 1799.—You know that this law was but revived and continued by the present Congress.—The law passed by the present Congress at their late session, contains but these words: " Be it enacted, &c. That the act entitled "An Act to augment the salaries of the officers therein mentioned," be and the same is hereby revived and continued in force for and during the term of two years from the commencement of the present year. "
Can any thing be more evident, than that this law only revives and continues one previously enacted and in force, without alteration, addition, or diminution?—How delusive of real cause of complaint against the President must you be, to resort to such false and futile charges as this, to prove him unworthy of public confidence?
The 5 th charge is of foolishly dismissing marines, &c.—That Mr. Jefferson did reduce the marine corps, is true; and that his doing so, was the means of a large saving, is also true.—But, Gentlemen, it is false that he dismissed so many marines as to be compelled to enlist anew. He retained enough in service to form the expedition to the Mediterranean which humbled at our feet the rapacious pirates of Barbary, and taught them what tribute to expect in future from our hands.
The 6 th charge is, more preposterous and absurd than any I have yet noticed.—By a series of saving measures, the Internal Taxes were abolished with. Consequently their whole amount remains in the pockets of the People . Yet these taxes, estimated at 600,000 dollars, you have calculated as a part of the sum which you say Mr. Jefferson has "let slip through his fingers," and "uselessly expended!"—How that could be "expended" which was never collected, or "slip through his fingers" who never fingered it, is a problem which will require legal ingenuity to solve—to Federalists I leave its solution.
The 7 th charge is, of expending 30,000 dollars in destroying the judiciary , which you say must be revived.
If, Gentlemen, more time and more money was expended by Congress in repealing the extra Judiciary law than was necessary, who is to blame?—Not forcibly the Republicans , for they hastened the business with all prudent expedition.—No.—It was the motions of your Dawton , the " quibblers " of your Dana , the " seven hours harangue " of your Bayard , the multi-partisanacy of your Griffith , and the united exertions of your whole faction to embarrass and impede every salutary measure—that caused unnecessary delay, and incurred unnecessary expense.—It was the faction, of which you are the people apologists, that saw all the fortresses that Federalism had erected for her security and defence crumbling into atoms with the irresistible artillery of reason and truth employed by the Republicans —It was this desperate faction, that fought every pretext, and seized every occasion, for delaying public business, with the vain hope that delay would prove a defeat to its opponents.—Take then to yourself, Gentlemen, and apply to your party, the charge of incurring an unnecessary expense by knavish delays.
The Repeal of the Judiciary law was an annual saving of 32,000 dollars in the salaries of the judges alone, besides sundry incidental expenses.—That this system will ever have to be revived, no man of sense believes. It was never necessary to the application of law or the dispensation of justice. It was created by a terrible administration just at the close of its career, to reward its faithful partisans with pensions for life, and to serve as a point of rendezvous for its discomfited adherents. This, Gentlemen, I believe you know to be the truth.—I believe you know that Wm. Griffith received his commission as a judge, and his salary of 2000 dollars, for the zeal he had displayed in support of Mr. Adams, and in abuse of Mr. Jefferson.—I believe the same recommendations obtained the other fifteen judges their appointments.
The last charge is of a nature to elude conviction. You entitle it " Extra charges on the session of Congress in consequence of his pernicious message. "
Do you mean, Gentlemen, that the reading of a Message , to which no answer was required, cost Congress 8,000 dollars more, than littering to a speech, and spending days and weeks in frivolous discussion of silly answers , as your federal Congress have frequently done?—If this be your meaning, I widely differ from you in opinion. I think the single measure of addressing Congress by message instead of speech , saved more, much more, than 8,000 dollars, besides avoiding much irritation which the discussion of an answer would probably have produced.
After detailing your charges, you sum up all with asserting that above 1,000,000 dollars have been needlessly expended and lost; whereof upwards of 900,000 will be lost during every year of Jefferson's administration.
Having proved in detail every item utterly false, it would be folly in the extreme for me to show the fallacy of the aggregate.—You knew, when you published the statement, that it was a fabrication—you knew that it was fabricated to injure the reputation of a man whose whole life has been an exemplar of virtue, and to destroy the popularity of a magnate whose wisdom and integrity have gained him the affection of his country and the esteem of the world. Yet knowing, as you doubtless did, the nature and design of this statement, you had the wickedness to attempt to impose it upon those of your fellow-citizens who depend on you for correct intelligence, and whose means of information are more limited than your own, as a true and accurate statement!
Have you, Gentlemen, no principle of honesty, no sentiment of honor, no sense of shame, that you will thus meanly and maliciously endeavor to inspire the people with an abhorrence of the very men who are laboring assiduously to promote their welfare and increase their happiness?—Does no inward monitor ever disturb your repose, and whisper to you that you are violating the first principles of religion and morality, which enjoin you to do unto others as you would have them do unto you—to accuse no man wrongfully—to speak evil of no man—to bear no false testimony?—Or has your religion been drowned by the iniquity of wealth, and your reason lost in the whirlpool of passion?
You, Gentlemen, may think your conduct in this affair trivial and guileless. To me it appears highly criminal. The reputation of an honest man is dearer to him than property or life.
To rob him of the former, is consequently a base crime than to deprive him of either or of both the latter. And I cannot but think that he who is vile enough to employ such means as you have employed to ruin the character of an amiable, innocent, and useful man, would be villain enough, did opportunity offer, to mingle poison with his beverage, or, did sufficient courage inspire, to plant a dagger in his heart!
You may think my language harsh —I believe it is such as you deserve —I believe it is language that will be acknowledged just by a large majority of your present supporters, when they shall have a fair representation of your characters and conduct.—Whether they receive this representation from me, depends much upon your future demeanor, and more upon other circumstances, which I can neither reach nor control.—It is not improbable that I may yet hold a mirror to your view, and present your portrait to the public.—It is not unlikely that the wretches, who have been your instigators and affluents, but who have concealed themselves from public knowledge by scitious signatures , and have acted the part of mischievous murderers , will be dragged forth from their prisons , and exposed to observation and execration.
At present, Gentlemen, having already exceeded the limits I preferred to myself, when I commenced this second address to you, in compliance with what I deemed my sacred duty, I shall conclude with the assurance of my inexhaustible contempt . RETALIATION.

FROM THE AURORA.
THE Bronzed Gazette of Saturday, in the true Connecticut cant, affects to deplore the vilest slander and the venomous falsehoods which produced the ruin of the late administration, and boldly asserts that these slanders and falsehoods have been over and over detailed and exposed. We shall repeat a few of those facts, which are called venomous and slanderous falsehoods, and as we have never been (nor any body else) the refutation of them, we beg the moral and meek and chaste languaged youths from Connecticut, will point out to the public, when and where they were proved to be false and slanderous. The following are a few of the facts concerning the late administration, which remain established to this hour:
 I. The last administration labored to involve the nation in a war, contrary to its true interests, honor, prosperity and policy.  II. They were hostile in theory and practice to the principles of republican government.  III. They violated the Constitution and the laws in various instances, &c. &c. 
 1. They disbursed public money, without any appropriation made by law.  2. They kept up a standing army in time of peace.  3. They entered into a conspiracy against an ally during a war, while we were at peace.  4. They, in violation of the Constitution & in contempt of the Senate, entered into and concluded a Treaty, without the advice or consent of the Senate.  5. In violation of a law restricting trade, they caused the ship Kingston to leave port with merchandise.  6. The liberty of the press, rendered sacred by the constitution, they violated.  7. They favoured the intrigues of a foreign minister—his corruption of a Senator—and connived at the escape of the traitor.  8. They dictated to a Judge on the bench, and ordered the delivery of a man, holding the evidence of citizenship, up to a foreign power.  9. They favoured the propagation of terror, and rewarded violators of the peace and the laws. 
 10. They suffered vast sums of money to lie in the hands of public officers, for purposes of speculation, contrary to law.  11. They created numerous sinecure places, unauthorized by the constitution or by law.  12. They bestowed such offices on members of the Senate, to create influence. 
VI. They contemnered the rights and privileges of Congress, insulted in one of its members, by military dependents on the Executive.
VII. They excited division, jealousy and discord among the people, designating those who did not approve of their monarchical and arbitrary measures, as enemies, and by means of this division, attempted to enslave the nation.
VIII. They multiplied embassies without necessity, for the emolument of their families or political dependents.
IX. They projected other embassies without reason or necessity, and with a view to promote the hostile strategies of the powers of Europe.
X. They directed negotiations and entered into treaties disgraceful to the independence and injurious to the rights of neutral nations.
XI. They, to the dishonour of human nature, and in contradiction to the glorious principles of the Congress of 1776, directed their ambassador at London to obstruct the emigration of those Irish patriots, who emulated America in her resistance of evils and wrongs ten thousand times more grievous—and refused them an asylum in these free and happy States.
XII. They stirred up alarm, and countenanced seditious plots to deceive the American people into foreign or civil war.
XIII. They encouraged arbitrary power and a dispensation with the right of trial by jury, contrary to the constitution, and the natural rights of man in society—a stretch of power unprincipled as Robespierre's justice, upon no charge but suspicion, or the suspicion of being suspected.
XIV. They issued orders to armed vessels to make war, in a manner and to an extent unauthorized by law or any previous usage.
To the Inhabitants of the United States. The following is respectfully proposed by a citizen of Gloucester county, New-Jersey:
When the Colonists of North-America were under the necessity of resisting by force of arms, the unjust encroachments of the government of Great Britain, the virtuous citizens of Philadelphia entered into an agreement, not to purchase or eat any LAMB, for a certain time. This agreement was highly beneficial, by increasing the quantity of Wool, whereby many found employ and clothing, that must otherwise have suffered.
Query—Would not a similar agreement throughout the United States at this time, be good policy and highly beneficial?
N. B. The Printers of the U. S. are requested to insert the foregoing in their papers.
OF MR. GALLATIN.
A course of numbers, were published in the New-York Evening Post, last winter, entitled The Examination of the President's Message, signed Lucius Craffus , and afterwards republished in a Pamphlet. Of that elaborate work of Opposition Mr. HAMILTON is the reputed author. In examining the President's recommendation to revise the naturalization law, he vehemently censures President JEFFERSON for having appointed Mr. GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury, because he is a foreigner. Such a censure comes with a peculiar grace from ALEXANDER HAMILTON, who is himself a foreigner, exactly in the same sense, as ALBERT GALLATIN, and yet under a former administration was appointed to the same office.
Mr. HAMILTON was born in St. Croix, a West India Island under monarchical government, and bred up in a compting-house there: Mr. GALLATIN was born and educated at Geneva, a small city at the foot of the Alps, celebrated for freedom, science and the protestant religion, and between which and the United States there can be no dangerous competition of interests. Mr. HAMILTON came to the United States at the age of eighteen: Mr. GALLATIN at the age of nineteen. They both performed personal services in the revolutionary war: Mr. HAMILTON in the continental army, and Mr. GALLATIN in the militia of Massachusetts, in which he was a volunteer under Col. ALLEN, of the District of Maine. They were both public creditors, Mr. HAMILTON for services as an Officer; Mr. GALLATIN for monies loaned towards carrying on the war. They were both citizens, at the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and therefore parties to that instrument. Mr. HAMILTON was a member of the Convention, for framing and adopting the national constitution, altho' his own favourite system of government was rejected: Mr. GALLATIN assisted, as a member of convention, in forming and adopting the Constitution of Penn-
sylvania. Mr. HAMILTON and his friends have accused Mr. GALLATIN of having promoted an insurrection, by his opposition to the excise law. On the contrary, Mr. GALLATIN's friends, particularly Mr. Findley , the Historian, have charged Mr. HAMILTON with being the author of that insurrection, by his improper manner of executing the excise law. Mr. HAMILTON had been in the United States, from about the year 1771, to 1783, a period of 12 years, when he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury: Mr. GALLATIN had been a resident, from 1780, till 1801, a period of 21 years, before he was appointed to the same office. These two naturalized citizens are distinguished at men of talents, and as influential promoters of two different, and in some respects opposite systems of Finance and government. The merits of their respective systems are proper subjects of mutual examination. But it is absurd for either of them, or his friends, to accuse the other of being a foreigner. Pittsfield Sun.
NEWPORT, Saturday, August 14, 1802.
We learn, from the seat of government, that the General Green Frigate has been put in commission, and ordered to be fitted for the Mediterranean, notwithstanding it has been affixed in the federal newspaper in this town, that she had gone to Washington to be laid up; & there to be destroyed by worms!—Deceptions, & false representations, seem to be the most prominent features of our national life. Some further detections of the bare-faced falsehoods of these jacobin, disorganizing editors, shall be noticed next week.
The Federalists have enregistered Callender in the roll of their leading Editors—quote him on all occasions as the best authority—and anticipate much assistance from his depraved genius in the dirty work of defamation. Callender is, in fact, just qualified for a Federal Editor. He can lie, misrepresent, discolour, abuse, slander, and swear, with a amazing facility, and unblushing assurance. He is aptly fitted to succeed the infamous Percupine .
Extract of a Letter from a gentleman to Caroline County, Virginia, to his friend in Clarke county.
"Congress have exceeded even the examples of history in reformation. And if moderate government, low taxes, pecuniary integrity, diligence for public good, impartiality to foreign nations, unity to domestic foes, safety to property, and freedom of speech and of the press, can give a title to public confidence and personal fame, JEFFERSON bids fair to be classed by his contemporaries and celebrated by posterity, as the chief of patriots."
It appears evident, from every quarter of the Union, that the best characters, not long since unjustly classed among the enemies to the "procedings" and principles of Mr. Jefferson, are rallying round that much injured man. The golden rays of truth cannot be shut out from an honest heart. The conspicuous merit of a good man cannot be concealed from the admiration of the world. It is, however, a source of much regret, that the disorganizing spirit of a few unprincipled men, should continue to wound the feelings of the many, and harrow the people with scurrilous misrepresentations.
Mr. Gavins , our Consul at Gibraltar, has distributed Circulars to all the consuls in that neighborhood, warning the Americans of the danger of passing the Straights without convoy, in consequence of the "squallid appearance" among some of the Barbary powers.
A DUEL.
On Saturday, the 31st ult. a Duel was fought, near the city of New York, between DEWITT CLINTON, and JOHN SWARTWOUT, Esquires. It originated from a difference of political sentiments, in which some irritable expressions were uttered against each other. Five shots were exchanged, the two last of which lodged in Mr. SWARTWOUT's left leg, a few inches below the knee. Mr. CLINTON received a ball through his coat, but was not wounded. The seconds were R. Riker, Esq. and Col. W. S. Smith.
By recent advices from the River La Plata, we are informed that the Spaniards had seized 15 sail of American vessels and their cargoes. It was rumored at St. Thomas that a general confiscation of American property in South America would take place, and that a rupture between the two nations would follow.

From a late Poem, entitled, "SORROWS OF SWITZERLAND." BY BOWLES.
WHY art thou come, Man of despair and blood, To these green vales, and streams o'er hung with wood? These hills, where far from life's discordant throng, The lonely goat-herd chants her matin song? This cottag'd glen, where Age in peace reclines, Sooth'd by the whisper of his native pines; Where, in the twilight of his closing days, Upon the glim'ring lake he loves to gaze; And like his life, lies on the shadowy flood, The still sweet eves descending? Man of blood! Burnt not his holy musings. Innocence And peace these vales inhabit: Hie thee hence To the waste wilderness, the mournful main, To caves where silence and deep darkness reign; (Where God's eye only can the gloom pervade) And through thy visage in their dearest shade! Or if these scenes so beauteous may impart A momentary solace to thine heart, Let nature plead—plead for a guiltless land— Ere yet thou lift the desolating brand; Ere yet thou bid the peaceful echoes swell With havoc's shout and many a mingled yell! Pause yet a moment! By the white, white beard Of him whose tear-red eyes to heav'n are rear'd; By her, who frantic lists her helpless hand— By those poor little ones, that speechless stand— If thou hast nature in thee, oh, relent! Nor crush the lowly shed of virtue and content!"
MATERNAL AFFECTION.
A Sailor of Martinique married a young woman, as virtuous as she was beautiful—and she, having expended all the little money her husband had left her before he embarked, had recourse to a wealthy citizen, to whose protection she had been confided. The citizen, in- flamed with the charms of the fair borrower, demanded, as the price of his services, the surrender of her virtue. Relying on the hope of her husband's return, and shuddering with indignation at the proposal, the insulted woman refused without hesitation. The sailor did not arrive; and, in a few days, all the resources of this unhappy wife were exhausted; want too clearly made her sensible of her situation; she was a mother! and dreading to behold one infant perish at that breast which nourished it, and the other, whose maturer age demanded bread, expire of hunger before her, she sought the tyrant again, in hope of softening him. But prayers and tears could obtain nothing from the barbarian; she was forced to capitulate; and, vanquished by necessity, she permitted him to come to supper with her. After a meal, which was spiritless, the citizen pressed her to fulfil her promise. The poor woman took him to the cradle where her child was sleeping; and then pressing it to her bosom, her eyes full of tears, she said to it—"Drink, my dear babe! drink freely; thou yet receivest the milk of a virtuous woman, whom necessity alone draws to the heart. To-morrow, for alas! I cannot wean thee—to-morrow! thou wilt drink the milk of an unhappy"—her tears finished the sentence. The citizen beheld—and was moved at the sight. Throwing his purse at her feet, he exclaimed—"It is not possible to resist so much virtue!"
