And the clerk shall not be liable to pay the defendant cost, where he produces a certificate signed by a majority of the commissioned officers of the company, directing him to institute the suit.—And any officer or soldier belonging to any company, except the clerk, shall be considered as a competent witness in any action or prosecution, brought by the clerk of such company, for the recovery of a fine, notwithstanding that a part of such fine may enure to the benefit of such company.

From the SPECTATOR.
IMPORTANT CRISIS.
THE plot which has been many years laid, to effect a revolution in the United States, draws to a crisis; and every well wisher to a free government is anxious for the event. The Constitution of the United States is suspended on a thread.
The opposers of our government give it out and the little folks of the party are made to believe, that their leaders have it in contemplation only to change the administration; but it is more and more evident every day, that they intend a total annihilation of the confederacy, or a complete change in the Constitution.
Mr. Jefferson, the leader of the party was in Europe at the time the Constitution was formed; and it is well known he never approved of many parts of it. Mr. Madison was one of the framers and defenders of the Constitution; but no sooner did Mr. Jefferson return from Europe than Mr. Madison commenced an opposition to the measures of government.
Gov. Clinton, it is well known, was an inveterate and irreconcilable enemy to the Constitution—he opposed its adoption with all his influence, and made a party in opposition, which still exists. The grounds of opposition have been, with all its enemies, nearly the same; and whatever shapes the opposition has assumed, it has been uniformly bottomed on this great and broad basis, that the Constitution of the United States has abridged the sovereignty of the particular States.
The opposers of the Constitution in 1789, in

Postscript.
A short passage from Boston, has enabled the Editor to lay before his readers, the following items of intelligence, which are copied from the Centinel of Saturday last.
FROM EUROPE.
Since our last, the ship Galen, Capt. Seward, has arrived here from London. Our files of London papers are to the 23d March; a few days later than before received in the United States.
On the 22d March, five of the delayed Mails on Hamburg, arrived at London. Their contents are not very important; but they bear indications of a negotiation for Peace between the Emperor of Germany, and the Prime Consul of France.—These indications appear in the continual interchange of couriers, and communications between the two cabinets;—in the proposition which Buonaparte has made to withdraw all his troops from Italy, and make the Rhine the boundary of the Republic;—in the activity, or mere parade of warlike preparation, which prevails in both armies; and it is added, in the precarious situation in which Austria finds itself from the rapidly declining strength of the Emperor; and from the necessity which will be under to require the assistance of France in preventing in case of the death of the Emperor, the King of Prussia being elected King of the Romans; and consequently the Imperial dignity given from being transferred to the House of Austria.—It is a fact, that one of Buonaparte's principal Generals remained at the Austrian head quarters several days, perfectly conversant with the French officers of rank are frequently passing through those head quarters from Paris to Vienna, and back. Either Prince Charles does not expect a renewal of hostilities, or he has no naked parts which he fears should be exposed. The British government writers, admit the possibility of the report respecting this negotiation to be well founded; and aver they see nothing in it alarming to Great-Britain; as she will be able to command a better Peace when standing alone, than when compelled to sacrifice its interests to the interests of others. The Austrian army is in great force, exceeding 150,000 troops, plentifully supplied, and well paid.
In Italy, it is said, the French garrison of Genoa has made propositions to Gen. Ott, to evacuate the place. The Austrians are in force in the neighborhood of Genoa; and have opened their trenches before Gavi.
The Russian troops have positively returned home; and the Emperor of Russia has officially notified the Courts of Berlin and Dresden thereof.—It is, however still maintained that 45,000 of those iron-cased veterans will be employed by Great-Britain, in enterprizes and expeditions.
Several accounts mention a negotiation between the Grand Vizier and General Kleber in Egypt, for the evacuation of that country by the French.
An expedition, in which 17 battalions of English troops were to be employed, besides Russians, was in readiness to sail, when the Galen left England. It is commanded by Gen. Stuart. Its destination is supposed to be Malta; and when reinforced, Egypt.
We do not learn any particulars of the progress of the negotiation at Paris. Our envoys we find attended the funeral eulogy pronounced at the Pantheon, in honor of Washington.
The crew of the frigate Congress are to be turned over to the Chesapeake, Capt. Barron, which is nearly ready for sea. The Picking are conveyed a fleet of between 80 and 90 sail from Martinique. She had sent into St. Kitts, a French privateer of 8 guns and 90 men.
SLAVE TRADE. —By the additional Law which has just passed Congress, it is enacted that the Secretary of the Treasury cause an abstract of all judgments which shall be rendered against persons concerned in this trade, to be published in one or more newspapers; and the party against whom judgment shall be rendered, shall ever after be said judgment, be incapable of holding in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any vessel, registered under the laws of the United States, and shall be incapable of enjoying any commercial privileges or advantages which are or may be conferred on citizens of the United States.

MUSES.
FROM HORACE.
CHASE, cease, for heaven's sake, cease, my friend! These anxious, care-fraught thoughts to raise; O, seek not thus to know the end, And scan the measure of thy days!
See, reddening Phœbus hastens to lave, His coursers in the western wave; And ere he quits the eastern sea, We both, my friend! may cease to be.
Then let us, while we can, be gay: A short time shuffles off our sorrow—Cheerfully spend the present day, And if we must grieve, grieve to-morrow.
Miscellany.
WOMAN.
[The following idea of the Formation of Woman is extracted from a Treatise, entitled Philosophia de l'Univers , written by DUROST DE NEMOURS—Perhaps a more eloquent and delightful description never came from the pen of man.]
“AMONG the plants, the flower which is destined to produce fruit, I have formed in the most agreeable and brilliant shape, and finished with the nicest skill. Woman shall be the flower of human kind.
“Come to me all ye elements of beauty, of grace, virtue, sensibility, beneficence, and gentleness, combine and arrange yourselves to please and to enchant. Man I could form after my own image; for Woman I have no model, but in bright fancy. Let her be the most perfect of visible creatures, and, if she can the most happy.
“Let her heart beat with a livelier pulse than that of man. Let her live more in a less time; and yet that she may enjoy a longer career. She shall be good and useful to her last moment. Let her bless three generations. Let her constitute the happiness of her lover, of her children, and even of her grandchildren: and in each varying age let the tenderness she inspires be mingled with respect. Let her delicate nerves convey to every sense rapid affections. Let her slender foot be proper for the dance, and her white hand to bestow caresses. Let her forbear to employ them profusely in the swift course, and in labours too severe. Let her elegant form and her round limbs display and inspire temptation in all their movements. Let them be covered with a soft satin, not to be touched without inflaming the daring hand. Let her fine eyes be the mirror of her soul, in which the observer shall read an indulgent and affecting kindness: even while she drops them on the ground, let them betray her secret wishes. Let her breath diffuse the perfumes of the peach. Let the gentle down be spread upon her cheeks, let them be coloured by an expressive vermilion, which, in the emotion of a tender thought, ingenious shame shall diffuse, even over her brow, modesty. Let her enchanting bosom represent the celestial globes, of which a rose-bud shall form the magnetic pole. Let it offer to desire its first enjoyment—its first nourishment to infancy; and let man ever remain in doubt, whether it has most contributed to the happiness of the father or of the son. Let her long ringlets, flowing and yet bound, serve at once to so many charms as the veil and the ornament; let them be the shelter of the new-born infant, and when chance, but more when affection, shall divide them, let the lover feel as if along with them the heavens were opened.”
COURTSHIP
Is, sometimes, the farce of love, and is never foridiculous, as when a Coquet is solicited by a Coxcomb. It then resembles Dr. Young's fantastic chase “A shadow hunting a shade.”
NEW ORDER OF THINGS.
This often means the utter destruction of old government, old order, old laws, old religion, and old virtue. That this kind of novelty might exist in France, a King and Queen were murdered, a Dauphin starved, the Clergy pillaged, and the nobility degraded. A new order of things is where the little finger of a fool is thicker than the loins of a philosopher. A new order of things is where the “rascal many” bellow in the Senate House, and where the ingenious few are under the guillotine. Satan Catiline and Robespierre were all zealous friends to this kind innovation. [Gaz. U. S.]
MONEY.
The value of money has astonishingly depreciated within the compass of a few of the last centuries. What would, at this day scarcely support a gentleman a fortnight, was deemed, in the fifteenth century, a liberal stipend for a celebrated professor of a university. During the presidency of Boethius, at Aberdeen, a few hundred years since, about two pounds four shillings and six pence of sterling money, was the whole of his annual salary, a sum now not sufficient, with all the rigid economy of a Rumford, to eke out the existence of a poor invalid at a hospital. This sum is mentioned, in Johnson's tour of the Hebrides, as not only “equal to the needs but to the rank of Boethius.” He adds, that Henry the eighth, actuated by a spirit of munificence, granted to Roger Ascham a pension of ten pounds a year. With respect to the former, he observes that “it is difficult even for the imagination to raise the value of money, or so to diminish the demands of life, as to suppose four
and forty shillings a year, and honourable depend.”
The same writer thus concludes many excellent observations on the mode which is adopted in Scotland, for teaching deaf and dumb children the use and intent of language and numbers. “It was pleasing to see one of the most desperate of human calamities capable of so much help. Whatever enlarges hope, will exalt courage; after having seen the deaf and dumb taught arithmetic, who would be afraid to cultivate the Hebrides?” [Farmer's Mus.]

Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
ALL institutions deserve patronage from the public in proportion to their usefulness. The Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Company is considered by many as coming under this description; it being incorporated for the benevolent purpose of guarding its associates against losses of buildings by fire, whether the same should happen by accident, lightning, civil commotion, or foreign invasion. The President and Directors, therefore, have thought proper to lay before the public, its principles, and general state of its funds, to induce all persons owning houses or other buildings within the Commonwealth, to become Members of the same, and avail themselves of its advantages. By a mutual insurance we bear one another's burthens. The loss sustained by one falls on the company; whereas individuals, heretofore, were obliged, in case of loss by fire, to apply to their particular friends, and to the benevolence of the public for assistance; but in the present case an opportunity presents of having their property secured upon the only just principles of insurance, by calling into the funds of the society a rate equal to the hazard only , and no more. Conflagrations are generally more alarming, and far more distressing to mankind than losses at sea; and the reason is obvious. In the former case little or no provision has been made in this country for the protection of property in case of fire, whereas in the latter it is almost universal. Under this consideration, it is to be hoped, that those societies, who have been established for the purpose of enlarging their usefulness towards mankind, as well as those gentlemen, who have been in the habit of issuing policies for the generous design of insuring on buildings, will so far extend their candour towards this Company, as to suppose that their motives of pecuniary consideration are not so much attached to the small gain in the difference of the premium as to add another institution, and confer another opportunity to the citizens of this Commonwealth, for security and happiness.
The rates of premium are from 35 to 75 cents on one hundred dollars, governed by the judgment of the Trustees, which depends on the materials of which the house is built, the manner of occupying it, and the relative situation of the same as to other buildings.
Although the Policies are issued for seven years, it operates for any less time; as provision is made, that when the property insured shall be alienated by death, sale, or by any other means, the assured may surrender his policy at the office, and receive a sum not exceeding his deposit money.
The fees arising from the policies, transfers, endorsements, forfeits and interest accruing thereon, will, in the whole time (in all probability) pay the expense of Office; in which case nothing can be taken from the funds, but absolute losses by fire. If fortunately no loss happens, the property with interest reverts back to the person who paid it (except his proportion of the reserved funds) as the whole funds of the company, are placed in the funded stocks of the United States; the interest of which is received quarterly, put into principal, and accumulates much beyond compound interest.
The calculations are made upon the whole number of buildings, consumed by fire in Boston for the term of forty years past, taken from the records of the Historical Society, commencing in 1759, and of course it includes the great fire of 1760; from which, and a comparison with the institutions of the same nature in England, Virginia, New York, &c. it clearly appears, that the funds are adequate to support the loss of more than sixteen hundred houses annually, of 1600 dollars value each. But in order to make each individual of the company entirely satisfied of his indemnity in case of loss by a very great conflagration; provision is made, that each member shall be assessed a sum (in proportion) to make good such loss; but not in any event to exceed two dollars for one, paid as premium and deposit.
It is now thirteen months since the risks commenced, without any loss whatever. There is now 940,000 dollars insured in the Office, one fifth of which is in the country. The funds are already respectable and increasing rapidly.
By order of the President and Directors, Andrew Cunningham, Sec'y. Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Office, No. 15, State Street, Boston. March 7. (3m—99)
