Miscellaneous Selections.
THE LAY PREACHER.
"Two are better than one." THIS is Solomon's theory, and I like it; but his practice was rather too extensive; for in his luxurious palace seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines were better than one. Whether the women of Jerusalem were composed of more manageable materials than modern females I am at a loss; for Josephus, whose works I have turned over, to gain information on this knotty point, says nothing of the matter. However, I am inclined to think Solomon made his domestic arrangements after he "planted vineyards." Had he chosen a graver moment, he would not have told the most confidential of his eunuchs, that seven hundred expensive wives, and three hundred capricious concubines, were better than one. Why the revenues of gold-paved Jerusalem, or the bagnios of its suburbs, could not have furnished robes for the married dames, nor rakes for the free! Sage men like Solomon, are generally moderate in their arithmetic of pleasures; but this was too bold a sum in multiplication even for a polygamist to work.
In all probability, Solomon, though the oriental writers expatiate upon his resources, found his stock too scanty for the many and great claims which "the daughters of Jerusalem" must have made. For late in life, when "the pitcher was broken," and "the silver cord of love loosed," and "his desires failed," we find him gravely composing a sententious proverb, in praise of sociability, and reducing a thousand companions to one. His reasons, too, are not drawn as they would have been, when he framed his seraglio, from passion and pleasure, but from utility; for he supports his opinion by arguing, in the context, that "two are better than one;" because in difficulty, in battle, they mutually assist; or bedded in a frosty night, they keep each other warm.
Although, in remarking upon Solomon's voluptuousness, I have been removed from my natural gravity, as a preacher, yet let not the wanton reader construe my sermon as a satire upon the sage Prince. After animadverting upon the excess of his practice, it is my intention to echo the benevolence and utility of his social principle. "Two are better than one." Doctor Franklin thought so, when he recommended early marriages. As I am of singular continence myself I know nothing of the matter; but St. Paul, an apostle of experience, tells bachelor and virgin christians, that it is better to marry than to burn. If they feel this heat, therefore, let them quench it in legal couples, and choose for the wedding ring pocsy, "two are better than one." My physician declares, that in these degenerate days, when illicit love is common, early marriage is favourable to health: the philosophers affirm that it is to morals.—The preacher, therefore, concludes that "two are better than one," applied to matrimony, is a precept productive of happiness; and that a young man, who will reject all the concubines, and six hundred and ninety nine of the wives, which Solomon thought necessary, may be pronounced wiser, as it respects women than that prince.
In the dark ages, as they were justly styled, devotional men used to think that St. Peter, the porter of Heaven's wicket, would not open it to but one at a time.—Accordingly, monks and Hermits would wander in deserts, or reside solitary in caves, and insist that an error had crept into the proverb, and that Solomon certainly wrote "one is better than two." This was a vile interpretation; and if they had meditated their Bibles well, they would have discovered that the founder of their religion was never so happy as when "much people" surrounded him; and the apostles chose companions in their travels! the one sat socially at a wedding supper, and the others resorted to the temple, the town-hall, and the market place.
I grieve to see a melancholy man, moping in the chimney corner, refusing to "eat bread;" and when the cup goes round, unwilling to pledge a bumper. Trust me, thou son of spleen, happiness is doubled by participation. Arise, therefore, and be even as the publican; be social, be merry; go to the door of
thy tent, and if thou seest a man of understanding pass by, entreat him, "turn in hither, I beseech thee."—So shall the evil spirit flee, as of yore, from the harp of the shepherd, and all the cares of thy heart be lulled by the pleasant communion of a friend.
GEN. PETER MUHLENBURG.
This gentleman in early life yielded to the wishes of his venerable father, the late reverend doctor Henry Muhlenburg, the patriarch of the German Lutheran church, in Pennsylvania, by becoming a minister of the Episcopal church; in which capacity he acted in acceptable manner in Virginia, until the year 1777, when he became a member of the convention, and afterwards colonel of a regiment of that state. In the year 1777, he was appointed Brigadier-General in the revolutionary army, in which capacity he acted until the termination of war gave liberty and independence to his country, at which time he was promoted to the rank of Major-General. After the peace, he was chosen by his fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania (his native state) to fill, in succession, the various stations of vice-president of the supreme executive council of Pennsylvania, member of the House of Representatives, and senator of the United States; and afterwards appointed by the president of the United States, supervisor of the excise in Pennsylvania; and finally collector of the port of Philadelphia, which office he held at the time of his death. In all the above military and political stations, general Muhlenburg acted faithfully to his country and honorable to himself; he was brave in the field and firm in the cabinet. In private life he was strictly just, in his domestic and social attachments, he was affectionate and sincere, and in his intercourse with his friends and fellow citizens always amiable and unassuming. His remains were yesterday interred near to those of his ancestors, and a part of his own family, with military honors, at Providence, in Montgomery county, amid a large concourse of respectable citizens.
"How sleep the brave who sink to rest! With all their country's wishes blest, When Spring with dewy fingers cold, Return to deck their shrouded mould, She then shall dress a sweeter sod, Than fairy feet have ever trod, And freedom shall a while repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there."
The following account of the last Aerial Excursion of M. Blanchard, is copied from a late Dutch paper:
The sixty first air voyage of the famous Mr. Blanchard, being the eleventh of his lady, was performed the 3d of August near Rotterdam. Though every prospect appeared favourable for the intended voyage, yet it was disturbed by an unfortunate accident. A quarter after 6 o'clock, the beginning was made with filling the Montgolfiere, and before half past 7 o'clock the balloon was perfectly ready, and left the ground, but unfortunately took hold by an iron wire, on which it before had been fastened, loosened itself violently, and received a larger rift, which occasioned the flying off the balloon against a large tree, and thereby got an opening.—Nevertheless the voyage would have been crowned with success, had not the balloon in rising into the air been encountered by a whirlwind, which brought the galley into disorder, and enlarged the opening.
This ever before fortunate air traveller now fell out of the balloon, first upon the top of a house, and from thence on the ground, by which he received a large contusion on his head, but is however in a state of recovery. I appeared Madame Blanchard would have escaped better by falling first on some trees; but the agitation of seeing the descent of her husband, made such an impression upon her organs of speech that she is now in a kind of dumb and listless state.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 14, 1807.
ALA MODE D'AURORÉ.
Yesterday an election was held for Senator, Members of Assembly, and Sheriff. The contest was sharp, and the "strong pole" in requisition.—The American Constitutionalists were completely successful;—and the chagrin of the "French Tories" was unparallelled. The candidates were Edward Heston , (American) and William Duane (democratic,) for Senators; William I. Donaldson (American) and Frederick Wolbert , (democratic,) as Sheriff. The votes were,
   American. Dem.     In the City, 2564 1689   Bastleton and Frankford, 495 170   Germantown, Roxboro', Bristol, 393 186   Northern Liberties, 730 1344   Southwark, Paxisunk, and Moyamensing, 455 624   Total votes for Sheriff 4482 4013   "Constitutional American" Ticket for Assemblymen, Select and Com- 4451 4017  
mon Council, and County Commission-er, succeeded by similar majorities.
The editor of the American Citizen, taking notice of the infamous attacks made by certain democratic papers, on Chief Justice Marshall, has expressed himself in a manner that does him infinite credit. After extracting a scandalous paragraph from a Baltimore paper entitled the Whig. He goes on thus:—
"Surely proof more ample than his practice, than his copious and elaborate opinions, is necessary to warrant this audacious assault on the chief Justice of the supreme court of the United States. What has become of the order and decorum, the sober reflection and the sedate reasoning for which the UNITED STATES are distinguished, when this violence and outrage can pass without notice."
After several very proper remarks, he concludes thus:—
"If, however, I may be allowed to express my opinion, it is that the chief justice is not the real object of attack, but that in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New-York, a combination of a few men (and they are very few) exist to throw off the old and introduce a new order of things. I make no pretensions to the character of a prophet, but I beg the reader to bear the remark in mind.—For the present I will only add that I stand on my old ground; that I have an eye on some bad men of our party in the other states, who are co-operating with a few dupes in this city, and that in due time I will expose time I will expose them. The people at large know but little of what is now doing, and perhaps it is well that they do not."—N. Y. Herald.
GEOGRAPHICAL.
Wismbeck, near Copenhagen, where the English troops disembarked, is the place where Charles the XIIth commenced his military career by an attack upon Copenhagen.
ELSINEUR was a small village till 1445, when it was made a staple town by Eric of Pomerania, who conferred several immunities upon it. From that period it has gradually increased in size and wealth; and is now the most commercial town in Denmark, next Copenhagen, from which it is distant twenty miles. It contains about 6000 inhabitants.
The passage of the Sound is guarded by the fortress of Cronberg, which is situated on the edge of a peninsular promontory, the nearest point of land to Sweden, distant about three miles.—It is strongly fortified towards the land by ditches, bastions and entrenchments, and towards the sea by several batteries, mounted with 60 cannon, the largest 43 pounders. Every vessel as it passes lowers her topsails, and pays a toll at Elsineur. It is generally asserted that this fort guards the Sound, and that all vessels must, on account of the shallowness of the water and currents, steer so close to the batteries as to be exposed to their fire. This however, is a mistaken notion. On account of the numerous and opposite currents in the Sound, the safest passage lies near the fort; but the water in any part is of sufficient depth for vessels to keep at a distance, and the largest ship can even sail close to the coast of Sweden. The King of Sweden claimed an exemption from toll, but by a treaty in 1720 they agreed to become subject to it. All vessels, besides a small duty, are rated at 1 1/2 per cent. on their cargoes except the English, French, Danish and Swedish, which only pay 1 per cent. and in return the Crown takes the charge of the Light-houses, Signals, &c.
The palace of Cronberg, which is in the fort, is a square Gothic building.—In it was confined the late unfortunate Queen Matilda. Elsineur is remarkable, as being the scene of Shakespeare's Hamlet; and there is a garden, half a mile from Cronberg, which is said by tradition to be the very garden where the murder of his father was perpetrated. The house is of modern date, and is situated at the foot of a ridge near the sea. The garden occupies the side of the hill, and is laid out in terraces rising one above the other.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES SULLIVAN, Esquire, Governor and Commander in Chief in and over the Commonwealth aforesaid.
A PROCLAMATION,
For a Day of Public THANKSGIVING & PRAISE, throughout the Commonwealth.
THE Almighty Creator & of Governor
the Universe, is to be worshipped and
adored by his rational creatures; the ex-
ercise of this duty is their highest privilege.
Our pious ancestors, beholding, with
devotion and gratitude, the daily ex-
pressions of his mercy towards them, whilst
they were surrounded with uncommon per-
ils and dangers, consecrated one day, at
the close of each year for celebrating his
praise, and acknowledging his ordinary
support in the favourable course of the
seasons, as well as for rendering thanks for
the extraordinary interpositions of his Pro-
vidence in their favour.
This has been handed down as an or-
dinace from age to age, and our obliga-
tions, at the present day, are as great as
those existed in former years upon the gen-
erations we succeeded.
I HAVE therefore, thought fit to ap-
point; and by and with the advice and
consent of the Council, do appoint,
THURSDAY the Twenty-sixth day of
next November, to be observed as a day
of Public THANKSGIVING AND
PRAISE, throughout this Commonwealth.
AND I do earnestly recommend it, to
the Ministers and People of the State, ac-
cording to the pious and laudable exam-
ple of their ancestors, to assemble them-
selves on that day, at their usual places of
public worship, and there devoutly and
sincerely to acknowledge their dependence
on the most high God, for his creating
goodness and sustaining mercies; and there
to thank and praise his high and holy
name, for all his benefits; more particu-
larly
THAT he has marked out the place of
our habitation, where the Gospel is enjoy-
ed by all denominations of Christians in
the most perfect freedom of conscience,
without persecution or restraint, every one
having an equal right to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own reason.
THAT he put it into the hearts of our
ancestors, and has continued the laudable
emulation in their posterity, to make liter-
ature and science the public concern, and
the encouragement of the arts the peculiar
care of the civil government.
THAT he inspired a band of patriots,
whose names will be ever dear to their
country, with wisdom and firmness to de-
clare the U. States an independent nation;
and the great body of the people with
courage and magnanimity to maintain the
important declaration.
THAT he has given those States wisdom
and prudence not only to form a system of
government for each State, but discretion
to all the States to establish a general gov-
ernment, by which they are firmly united
and known as a nation.
THAT under the wise and prudent ad-
ministration of our Presidents and rulers,
those Constitutions have been preferred to
us without diminution or corruption.
THAT while the calamities of war have
afflicted Europe, our President has been
endowed with caution, wisdom and pru-
dence, by which, under the superintendence
of a kind Providence, our neutral position
has been preferred to us in the blessings of
peace.
THAT no epidemic contagious diseases
have been allowed to distress or waste our
country.
THAT the earth has been made to yield
her increase, by which plenty has crowned
the year from the field; while our Com-
merce and navigation have been attended
with success and prosperity.
I FURTHER exhort the good people of
this Commonwealth, to express their grate-
titude, by their munificence to the Poor,
on an idea that we are all brethren, the
children of one Parent, even our Father
who is in heaven; and from whose un-
merited bounty we derive all our enjoy-
ments.
THAT to their gratitude they unite a
true and sincere repentance, for those sins
by which we are rendered so unworthy of
the favors daily received from our Supreme
Benefactor.
THAT they all unite ardently and sin-
cerely to discourage intemperance and
wickedness, and to encourage and promote
piety, virtue, morality and religion,
amongst the citizens of every denomination.
I RECOMMEND it to the people, to re-
frain from all labor and recreation, which
may be incompatible with the solemnity
of the day.
Given at the Council-Chamber, this Six-
teenth day of October, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and seven, and in the Thirty-second
year of the Independence of the United
States of America.
JAMES SULLIVAN.
By his Excellency's command,
with the advice and consent of the Council.
JONATHAN L. AUSTIN, Sec'y.
God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
BRITISH NAVAL FORCE.
The following is a statement of the
distribution of the British naval force
up to Sept. 4:—At sea. 96 sail of the
line, ten ships from 50 to 44 guns, 184
frigates, 153 sloops, and 199 gun-brigs
and smaller vessels; making a total of
592 ships of war.—The number in
commission is, 148 sail of the line, 18
from 50 to 44 guns, 172 frigates, 195
sloops, &c. & 242 gun-brigs; which, in-
cluding vessels in port & fitting, guard,
hospital, prison, and receiving ships,
makes a total of 770: the grand total,
comprising 83 ships building, and 158
in ordinary, is 1026.
COPENHAGEN.
The Danish Navy, which it is pre-
sumed the British will take possession
of, consists of 3 ships of 81 guns, 9 of
74 guns—1 of 70, and two line of bat-
tle ships nearly finished—3 of 64 guns
3 of 44, 4 of 36, 2 of 32, 1 of 24, and 2
of 20, and three or four small brigs and
lingers. The Prince Royal has ordered
this fleet to be destroyed in case of
extremity.
CIRCUIT COURT.
RICHMOND, Oct. 9.
Mr. Hay finished his speech, which
opened the argument on the part of the
United States, and was followed by Mr.
Randolph on the side of Col. Burr.
Saturday, Oct. 10.—Mr. Wirt be-
ing very much indisposed and unable
to attend the court, nothing was done
on this day. Mr. Martin was to have
continued the argument; but he con-
sented to postpone it until Monday.
Monday, Oct. 12.—Mr. Martin is
now engaged in a speech which proba-
bly will occupy the whole day. We
understand Mr. Wirt is to answer
him.
BOSTON, OCT. 20.
From PORTUGAL.—Aug. 27.
Capt. BIRD, of Boston, who arrived
at Philadelphia, in 40 days from Lis-
bon, informs, that the French Empe-
ror had demanded a large sum of mon-
ey of the Portuguese Government,
which they had refused to pay. In
consequence of this refusal, the arrival
of a French army was daily expected.
The people had learned that troops
were held in readiness for the expedi-
tion. We doubt whether any thing
short of her closing her ports against
the British would save Portugal.
Copy of a letter from Hendrick Aupamut, Sa-
chem of the Stockbridge tribe of Indians, to
Saryase, the first Sachem of the Tuscara-
ra, dated at Buffalo Creek, Sept. 4, 1807.
"MY FRIEND—I take the opportunity
to inform you that I arrived here yesterday
with my companions on our way to visit our
friends, the different tribes of Indians to the
westward. Our business with these na-
tions is to preserve peace among themselves
and the United States—That they should
not take up the tomahawk, if the white peo-
ple had war; and we are to recommend
civilization and the christian religion to
them. They agreed to accept such mea-
sures the last time I was with them—that
was four years ago—and they depended upon
us that we should either instruct them
ourselves, or lead one by the hand whom
we knew to be a good man, to teach them
according to their wishes. I have now, my
cousin, John Jacobs, with me, for the pur-
pose of teaching a school among them; and
if they should desire any further instruction,
the missionary societies will send a mis-
sionary to them in the course of next
spring."
"My friend—be steadfast to the religion
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and pay no regard
to the doctrine of the new prophet, who
preaches a false religion; for you may de-
pend upon it that his religion will fall to
the ground; and be assured that I will do all
the good I can to my nation, and to all the
nations with whom I have business. That
I will look to the great and good spirit for
assistance every day, that I and my compan-
ions may be preserved from the temptations
of the evil one—that I shall not drink one
drop of spirituous liquors; and if I should
live I should return in the course of next
summer. Farewell."
A PORTRAIT.
The "Citizen" of New-York, a leading
JEFFERSONIAN paper, sketches the follow-
ing portrait of THOMAS PAINE—who, if not
the editor, is a liberal contributor to a Jaco-
bin paper there, called the "New-York
Aurora."
"I will recollect that when he [HENRY
R. PAINE] returned from France, I had an
interview with him, in which among other
things he told me that he had seen in Paris,
Tom PAINE, that pestilential old wretch,
whose caricature it might not offend the
neighbouring air is incessantly steeped in
Brandy; yes, this bane of the moral world
was then in a garret in Paris, hatching
rebellion against his God."
The publication of the following decree
of the French Government will im-
press on the merchants of the United
States the necessity of taking the
precautions therein required.
Decree of the French Republic, 13th
Messidor, 10th year.
Art. 1st. All foreigners are pro-
hibited from bringing within the conti-
mental territories of the Republic, any
black, mulatto, or other person of color,
of either sex.
Art. 2d. All blacks, mulattoes, or
other persons of color of either sex,
who are not in service, are equally pro-
hibited from entering the continental
territories of the Republic in future,
under any cause or pretext whatsoever,
unless they bring with them the spe-
cial permission of the magistrates of
the colonies from which they came;
or if they did not come from the colo-
nies without the permission of the min-
ister of marine and the colonies.
Art. 3d. All blacks or mulattoes

the enemy) which he defeated with spirit and honor: Dispersing the assailants, he marched into the Indian territory, with Gen. Sullivan, to chastize those savage invaders for their insolence. He was much esteemed by his brethren in arms; many of whom, with doubtless recollect his heroic actions with pleasure.

Tipling, of the ship Wm. & Mary, arrived at Norfolk, informs, that being bound from Grenada to St. Thomas, he was brought too off the harbour of the latter island, on the 22d last month, by a British brig. The capt. of the brig warned capt. T. not to attempt to enter St. Thomas or any other Danish island, as they were in blockade. Being short of provisions, capt. T. wished to get to Porto Rico, but was informed that he did and was boarded by one of the squadron, he would be made a prize of. The commander of the brig would not endorse the ship's papers, stating that as the Danish island were in blockade. All letters were broken open, and strictly examined. The brig had "Enterprise of Boston," painted on the stern.

To Ship Masters. JUST Published by DANIEL JOHNSON, and for sale by Messrs. CHARLES & JOHN FOX, No. 4 & 5, South side Long-Wharf, Portland. THE AMERICAN Skip-Master's Daily Assistant; OR, Compendium of Marine Law, AND Mercantile Regulations & Customs; BEING A correct and useful guide to all men in business, especially those employed in the Merchant-Service Explaining by Judicial decisions, the duty, authority, and responsibility of ship-masters, and the liability of ship-owners for the contracts or misconduct of those they employ as masters CONTAINING ALSO A great variety of useful Tables AND Commercial forms, calculated to assist ship-owners, consignees, supercargoes, and masters of vessels. The whole carefully compiled from undoubted authorities. PREFACE. The American Shipmaster's Assistant has been undertaken and completed under a conviction that a publication of the kind was much wanted; and would, if well executed, be useful to all men in trade; more especially to masters of vessels. It often happens that the difficulties which take place between the ship-master and Owner, originate from the want of a sufficient knowledge of Maritime Law. The object of the compiler has been to furnish the ship-master, as well as the common carrier, with that part of Maritime Law which more immediately relates to their duty and responsibility. The Mathematical Tables, which are of daily use to the practical Navigator, are not only more copious, but more correct than any before published in America. The peculiar nature of a work of this kind is that every succeeding impression should be subject to improvements. Should the public approbation of this book, render another edition necessary, no pains will be spared to make it useful. Oct. 19.

POETRY. HAM AND TURKEY. NAPOLEON one day took young JEROME aside, And whisper'd, "As you have forsaken your Bride, On purpose to please your Imperial Brother; For granting that favour, I'll do you another Though in face like a Jew, yet I know you love Pork, And as with the Prussians I've finished my work, I'll give you Westphalia, where you shall be King, Provided each year to my table you bring A Ham, fat and tender, of that Country's breed, By way of a tribute—a small one indeed." Low bow'd Royal JEROME, his whiskers he curl'd, "Dear Brother," said he, "you, who've conquer'd the world, Have a right from your slaves, what you please to command, So permit me the favour to share your hand, And to say when my tribute you sit down to eat, Without Turkey you'll find 'twill be still incomplete." Well pleas'd at the hint—though in viands not nice, Boney jump'd up and swore "he'd try hard for a slice" Aug. 12th, 1807. [Lon. pap.]
English Paragraphs. A curious instance of evidence was admitted in favor of a young man, of the name of John Burden, of Bell-alley, respecting a beautiful young pug-dog, found upon a young woman near St. Paul's, and charged with being stolen by her. She refused to show the dog, which was brought muffled up to the side of the Lord Mayor. The owner described the dog minutely, but there is a great likeness between all dogs of that description, and the woman contended that it was the lap dog of a lady. The Lord Mayor observed that it would soon appear how this case of ownership would turn out, and desired the dog to be let loose, while the owner, the claimant, stood below the bar, and was ordered to be silent. Several called to the dog by the name, Billy; he looked and wagged his tail very gently as each had called him. But Mr. Burden, being desired to call him, the little animal leaped across the table, and next attempted to leap over the bar, but it was too high for him; he barked furiously until Mr. Burden was admitted within the bar, when he flew into his arms and caressed him; upon which he was adjudged to be the true owner, and obtained possession of the fond and faithful animal, to the great satisfaction of the audience.
An obstinate attempt at suicide occurred at Newington, near Sittingbourne, on Sunday last:—John Gold, a labouring man, of 72 years of age, first attempted to put an end to his existence, by hanging himself; but, by timely assistance, was cut down and recovered. Disappointed in this, he then jumped down a well, 73 feet deep, and containing 11 feet of water; being however observed, he was drawn up about half way, when he let go his hold, and fell to the bottom. He was, nevertheless, again recovered, and drew up, having sustained little other hurt than a slight bruise on the back of his head. The cause of these attempts is, singularly enough, attributed to jealousy of an old woman, about his own age!
Re-emigration. —Last week a man, his wife, and two children, who had, the previous day, been landed at Greenock, arrived in Glasgow from New York. Upon the man stepping out of a waggon in Trongate, Glasgow, a blacksmith inquired where he came from? He answered, America.—The inquirer immediately answered, "America! what brought you out of that country, how with milk and honey, to this starvation place?" "Oh! oh! I gaged there three years ago with my wife and bairns, and took some hundred pounds sterling with me, which some here, but as soon as we got as mickle as a gage, either as we would pay our passage, scraped the gage small, and we came away, which was no small work, are you going now?" "Name again." "Where are you going now?" inquired the blacksmith: "We're ga'en to the neighbourhood of Lamlash, among our friends." "—[?] We shall be happy to see this example pretty generally followed, and foreign Pat-Riotism less frequently introduced among us."

New Boarding House & Refrator for Private Parties.
THE Subscriber respectfully acquaints the citizens of Portland and the public in general, that he has established a HOTEL at the corner of Love Lane and Middle-Street, under the denomination of the RESTORATOR; a resort for the infirm in health, the convalescent, and those whose attention to sedentary employments occasions a lassitude of nature—where they can obtain the most suitable nourishment. This plan unites usefulness with economy; for as spirits are not to be used therein, and gaming disallowed, its usefulness is apparent; its economy will be obvious, when it is known that every person can here call for as much or as little as he pleases, and pay for no more than he consumes. Excellent Wines and Cordials, good Soups and Broths, Pastry in all its delicious variety, Almonde Beef, Bacon, Poultry, and generally all other refreshment and viands will be kept in due preparation, and a bill of fare will be constantly ready for exhibition, from which each visitor may command whatever may best suit his appetite. As this institution is founded on utility and convenience, and has been productive of great benefits in European Cities, the subscriber contemplates the patronage of the public, to merit which his best endeavours shall be made, and his gratitude acknowledge every favor. Private Parties will here find every accommodation. G. LABOTTIERRE.
