BEWARE
Of a Vile Hag and Sorceress.
In close intimacy with the three ruffians against whose villainous arts the public was warned in the Monitorial Department of the two last numbers of the Balance , and at the fag end of the group, there is a bale hag that uses sorcery and the black art, and as report lays, is actually in league with the devil. There are several symptoms which denote her to be a witch, particularly these: She manifests greater enmity to the Bible than any other book, and even tramples upon it with the utmost scorn and contempt. She is daily mumbling over an unintelligible jargon; and she frequently looks up toward the skies, with a disdainful, menacing eye and aspect, shaking her fist withal, and exhibiting in every respect, the airs, attitudes and express manner of bidding defiance to the powers above. The creature is of a most low and vulgar cast, both in her breeding and manners. She associates principally with negroes, and with others who are the refuse and scum of the earth; and yet the drab has the impudence to introduce herself sometimes into the company of gentlemen, who never fail to suffer a degradation of character, in proportion to the countenance they may have given her. The inchantress successfully uses her incantations upon brainless boys and young men, who are frequently so besotted by her diabolical charms, that they are seemingly proud of being seen in her company. Those of the female sex, who have any degree of delicacy, generally despise and shun the hag. Not so the hapless Tympanista. She had an agreeable face and figure—her voice was soft and winning;—but foolishly hoping to improve her charms by it, she employed this sorceress as her dressing-woman; & direful were the consequences. Tympanista's mouth which was pretty, immediately became foul, her tongue ulcerated, her eyes turned of a fiery hue; her voice became coarse and pegoish, and her whole face was covered with loathsome blotches; insomuch that her former admirers, shocked at the frightful change in her appearance, instantly forsook her.
The Quakers, who are a precise sort of people, and hate ills, have combined together, one and all, to kick this dirty drab out of doors, and have unanimously passed a resolution, that they will in no case, harbor her in their houses. And it were well if those of all other christian denominations would do the same; for she is a creature utterly unfit for the society of any christian people.
All magistrates are admonished to use their united effort to expel this pestilent hag from the country, & especially to be careful not to harbor her under their own roofs, which would tend both to strengthen her interest & to increase her impudence. Parents are also admonished to warn and guard their children against her infernal enchantments.
The name of the inchantress that has corrupted the American dialect and polluted the land with her sorceries, is PROFANE SWEARING.

LONDON, July 2.
M. GARNERIN'S TOUR
Capt. Snowden's Account.
Mr. Editor,
As numberless questions have been put to me, respecting the sensations I experienced while in the upper regions, I think it a duty incumbent on me to inform the public, and to set them right as to the erroneous ideas they may have of an aerostatic voyage. On the first ascending we felt a few drops of rain. After we had gained the height of about 3000 feet, I desired M. Garnerin not to ascend any higher till he had passed the metropolis, that the inhabitants might be gratified with a fair view of us. When we had got at a small distance from London, we ascended through some very thick clouds, of which I could perceive three distinct rows, at the lower end of one of which, we found the quick-silver of the thermometer at 15 deg. and I was obliged to put on my great coat; but on ascending still higher, we found the air more temperate, and the quick-silver to rise gradually to 5 degs. above summer heat. We then seemed to be stationary, and felt no more motion than one would feel in sitting in a chair in a room. I then proposed to M. Garnerin to overhaul our lockers, where we found a ham, a cold fowl, a cake and two bottles of orgeat, wines or spirits being dangerous to take, owing to the rarefaction of the air. The chill of the clouds having given us an appetite, we made a table on our knees with the seats of the car, and eat a very hearty meal. The clouds then dispersed from under us, and we had a delightful view of the country. Whether it is owing to the rarefaction of the air, or to the strong light thrown on the earth, I cannot determine, but I found my sight, which at all times is rather weak, become so strong, that I could easily distinguish the minutest objects, on the earth: it appeared like a vast panorama or map, of about fifty miles in circumference, where we could not only follow with our eyes the different cross roads and intersections on it, but even distinguish the ruts on them, and the very furrows on the field. The sense of hearing was stronger here than on earth; for at the height of fifteen thousand feet, we could distinctly hear the rattling of carriages on the roads, the lowing of the cattle, and the
acclamations of the people who saw us; though at the same time we could hardly hear ourselves speak; and I am persuaded that a person on the earth, with a strong voice and a speaking trumpet, might make himself perfectly understood by any person at that height in the air. I have observed, that almost every sensation I experienced while in the upper regions, was exactly the contrary to what is the general opinion of the public. I was assured by a number of the most celebrated literati, who pretended to be very learned on that subject, that I should find the cold increase, the higher I ascended; instead of which I found the heat increase, to that degree, that I was obliged to take my great coat and jacket off. It is also the general opinion, that looking down from so stupendous a height, renders a person so giddy as not to be able to keep his feet. On the contrary, I found that I could look down with a vast deal of pleasure, and without experiencing that inconvenience; whereas, looking round on the vast expanse that surrounded us, rendered my eyes so dim, that I was sometimes a few minutes before I could perfectly recover my sight. I experienced no difficulty of breathing, or inconvenience from the motion of the balloon; for tho' we moved with immense velocity, we felt not the least wind or pressure of air, it being so perfectly calm that the flags in our hands, and those with which the balloon was decorated, hung supine, nor did they stir. I observed that between every row of clouds, not only the atmosphere, but the wind varied several degrees; for on passing through the first cloud after leaving London, the wind, which had before been nearly South West, changed to South South East, by which means we found ourselves over St. Albans, in Hertfordshire. On ascending still higher, the wind became West, which drove us over Epping Forest, which I distinguished very plainly: it appeared like a gooseberry bush. I then pointed out the course to M. Garnerin on the map, and observed to him that we should soon perceive the sea, which in a short time we saw very plainly. M. Garnerin then told me we had not a moment to lose; and must descend with all possible speed: at the same time pointing out a very heavy cloud to me nearly under us; and said—"Il faut que nous passions a travers de es drole la, accrochez vous ferme car nous allons nous calfer le col."† I answered—"De tout mon cœur."‡ We then opened the valve, and we descended with rapidity.—On rushing into the cloud, I found, as he had conjectured, it contained as violent a squall of wind and rain as I ever experienced. The attraction of the water, the force of the wind, and the constant emission of gas from the valve, hurled us with such velocity towards the earth, that I expected to see his prediction verified, tho' I can assure you, my ideas at that time did not coincide with the answer I made him. M. Garnerin still retained all his coolness and presence of mind; and while we were descending with that extreme swiftness, desired me, the moment I should find the car about to touch the earth, to catch hold of the hoop which was fastened to the bottom of the net to which the car was suspended, and lift myself into the net, by which means we saved ourselves from being dashed to pieces. The balloon did not re-ascend immediately, but dragged us along the ground, with astonishing swiftness, for the length of three fields, before the grappling iron took good hold, & then we thought ourselves safe, being close to a farm house, from which several persons came out to see us; but though we threw out ropes to them, and called for help, they were so consternated, that neither threats nor entreaties could prevail on them to come to our assistance: for, as I afterwards heard, they took us to be sorcerers, it being rather an unusual thing to see two men coming down post haste from the clouds.—We were for about three minutes in that situation, till another gust of wind broke our cable, and we ascended again nearly six thousand feet.
In the bustle of preparing the ropes for the farmers, M. Garnerin let the rope belonging to the valve, slip out of his hand, by which means the bottom of the balloon was pressed upwards by the wind. M. Garnerin desired me to try to regain it, which I at last effected, by climbing up into the net, though the force of the wind struck the tin tubes fastened at the bottom of the balloon, and through which the rope led, with such violence against my face, that it had nearly stunned me. Having recovered, we descended, but were borne with such violence across the country, sometimes along the ground, sometimes in the air, that I several times proposed to M. Garnerin to abandon the balloon, and to save ourselves; but he continually objected to it, and reminded me of my promise not to quit him. In the mean time we were dashed against several trees one of which had nearly destroyed us, being with my back towards it, I received a blow on the head, which threw me at full length at the bottom of the car. M. Garnerin, in attempting to assist me, was nearly thrown overboard; two of the cords that held the car broke, and at the same time some of the branches tore the balloon; upon which M. Garnerin cried out, "the balloon is torn, and we are saved." Another gust of wind disengaged us from the tree, and we touched the ground once more, with a less violent shock than before. We then got out, but so exhausted with our numerous exertions, that we had hardly strength to follow the balloon, which fell about 200 paces further, when we completely mastered
† We have to pass that strange cloud—stick close to your feet, for it is ten to one we break our necks. ‡ With all my heart.
it, by throwing ourselves upon it, and by that means pressing out the remainder of the gas. It rained to very hard, that I proposed to M. Garnerin to leave the balloon in the field, and go in search of some shelter and refreshment.—We accordingly made the best of our way to a house which we espied about half a mile off, belonging to Mr. Kingberry; and here a very curious mistake took place.—When we enquired for the master of the house, Mr. Kingberry appeared, but seeing two persons so strange in appearance (M. Garnerin having a French hat on, with the national cockade, bearing the tri-coloured flag, and myself being in a sailor's dress, with the Union Jack in my hand) he imagined we came on account of the election; and before we could address him, he said: "gentlemen, though I am a freeholder, I have made a determination not to vote for one side or the other." So much was he impressed with this idea, that it was some time before we could make him sensible that we had nothing to do with the election, but that we came in a balloon in three quarters of an hour from London, that we were very much bruised and tired, and that we required his assistance and shelter. He then received us in the most hospitable manner, not only providing us with refreshments and dry clothes, but even offered us beds, the use of his house and horses, and sent immediately some farmers with a cart, to carry the balloon from the field, and convey it to a place of safety; and as we expressed a wish to get to Colchester that night, he sent for a post chaise to convey us thither, where we were received with loud exclamations by the inhabitants. The next day we returned to Fingerthorpe, where we had left the balloon, and after drying it on the grass, packed it up, and made the best of our way to town, where we arrived about 4 o'clock the next morning.
I cannot help admiring the coolness and presence of mind M. Garnerin preserved even in the most imminent danger; and I am so confident of his great skill and talents in conducting a balloon, that I would venture to go to the end of the world with him.
This is as near a statement as I can recollect: and I should take it as a favor if you would insert it in your paper, as you will thereby save me a great deal of trouble, having hardly breath enough to answer the numerous enquiries concerning our ariel excursion.
I am, sir, yours, &c.

COMMUNICATION.
The following is a letter received from a friend, who is a citizen of Vincennes, in the Indiana Territory. His correspondent has taken the liberty of publishing it for public information, with the request that the several editors into whose hands it may come, will give it a place in their papers.
"Dear Sir,"
"I have some time since promised to give you a description of this place, especially the agricultural and commercial advantages attending it; as you are an intimate friend of mine, I shall fix candor as my guide in this letter.
"Vincennes is the capital of the Territory: it is here the seat of government is fixed; it stands on the bank of the Wabash, in latitude 38° N. The situation of the town is delightful. The bank on which it stands is high and dry; the water in town is excellent; it is found about 25 feet below the surface; we pass through several different strata of sand before we find water; we then come to a strata of white gravel, through which the water flows; it there appears in abundance—It is cool, pellucid and salutary.
"Vincennes is environed by a delightful prairie of four miles in length, and will average one in breadth; a great part of it is cultivated by the inhabitants of the town, and the rest is a handsome meadow formed by Nature; and producing abundance of excellent grass, which when cured in the proper season, is nearly equal to your hay made out of tame grass—Notwithstanding the land in this prairie has been under cultivation for near fifty years; it yet produces upon an average, 60 bushels of corn & 18 of wheat to the acre & that upon a moderate cultivation; but if highly cultivated it will produce eighty of the former and twenty-five of the latter—The soil in this prairie is of a blackish hue, mixed with sand which renders it warm, loose and congenial to the most rapid and luxurious vegetation, of every kind which is common to the United States from the district of Maine to Georgia—The Wabash, which rolls its gentle current past the town, and washes the verge of the prairie for its whole length, is well replenished with a variety of fine fish. This river is navigable almost all the year as high as this place; and a good part of the year it is passable almost to its source. The current is gentle; no rapids to obstruct its navigation. Commerce centres here; the merchants bring their goods from Canada down the Wabash; from Orleans up the Mississippi, and from the Eastern states down the Ohio and up the Wabash. This water transportation makes it not only more convenient for merchants and families who wish to come here, but it is considerably cheaper than land carriage—there is White river which is passable for crafts of considerable burden. It rolls through a fine fertile country. Its banks are clothed with a heavy growth of wood of different kinds, generally walnut, ash, hackberry, and sugar-maple. The undergrowth is rich and luxuriant. This river empties into the Wabash about 30 miles below Vincennes. There are abundance of fine fish in it of various kinds.
"As to the quality of the lands here as far as I am acquainted, there can be none better, not even the fertile bottoms of the Nile, or the exuberance of India can surpass the productions of this place. The soil is rich, black and mixed with a brown sand, and from eight to fifteen inches deep. It is easily cultivated, because the sand prevents the violent rains from baking it. Corn, wheat, rye, oats, and all kinds of small grain is produced in as great quantities to the acre at this place, as any where on the continent. Cotton, hemp, tobacco, &c, grows here unsurpassed in point of perfection, in any of the Southern states; nay every vegetable which is necessary for the subsistence of man will grow here. The farmer will find a good market for all kinds of produce at Orleans, and an easy water conveyance at all seasons.
"Merchant mills may be constructed on the Wabash, about 25 miles below town at a rifle, which will manufacture all the wheat into flour, which can be raised in the environs of the Wabash from that to its mouth. The farmer will only have to embark his wheat, and on his way to market have it manufactured. Besides this there are a number of fine streams which meander through the country, very well calculated to turn water works.
"The country in general is well watered; good springs are found in almost every farm. The springs rise out of a white sand, or gush from a free stone rock—little lime-stone is to be found here. The natural growth of the soil is diversified. Our forests are stocked with a variety of wood, oak, walnut, poplar, cherry, sugar-maple, &c. The undergrowth is spice-wood, papaw, &c. There are some of the above timber which grows here immensely large; their magnitude together with their lofty appearance, seem to proclaim their proud superiority over the surrounding wood.
"The pasture in the woods is excellent, the

pea-vine, grass, &c. are so interwoven that during the summer season it is with difficulty we pass through it, add to this, when the inclement winter refuses to let nature keep on her verdant robe and invigorating appearance, our low lands and bottoms are clothed with a kind of grass which keeps green all winter, and resembles a well advanced wheat field, and affords very good food for stock. The country is interspersed with prairies of different sizes, which makes it have an appearance of former cultivation: It looks as if intrepid man had applied the destructive axe to the sturdy growth of Nature where those prairies are, and it appears from their present growth, that nature is never negligent in replenishing her fields with something useful to imperious man. In the prairies the farmer may whet his scythe, and with ease procure hay enough for any number of cattle. We are not here compelled to wait with frugal anxiety until we make meadow by art, but at once we can step out into the meadows prepared by Nature, and there find a copious growth of grass. These prairies will furnish an everlasting pasture for cattle, for the natural grass increase instead of diminishing by the flocks grazing on them. Here then we enjoy an advantage which few countries enjoy—The farmer is at once furnished with extensive meadow and never failing pasture."
LONDON, July 13.
The rapid and successful measures of Pashwan Oglou, has roused the attention of the Austrian and Russian governments; not, we presume in tender mercy to his Sublime Majesty; but rather to get footing in European Turkey.
Bonaparte has made a tender of the mediation of France to Pashwan Oglou, for the purpose of adjusting the differences of that Pacha with the Porte. This unexpected interference of the First Consul, is supposed to be the result of an application to him on the part of the Turkish government.
Hostilities have broken out between the Russians and Persians, the former of whom have already penetrated into the province of Ghilan. Some violence offered to the Russians at Atherabat is mentioned as the cause of these hostilities. Persia and European Turkey open a rich prospect to the desiring eyes of Austria, Russia and France.
PARIS, July 7.
Alli, the Pacha of Janina, the new governor of Romelia, has, (says a letter from Semlin, of the 19th ult.) transmitted a manifesto to Pashwan Oglou, the substance of which is, that although he had already defeated and humbled three powerful Pashas, he advised him to conduct himself very peaceably towards him, and not to come too near to Romelia; and he added, that if he attempted it, he would experience a reception which he might neither like nor expect.
Pashwan answered the manifesto in these words:
"I learn with pleasure, that thou hast attained to dignified a situation; I congratulate thee on the occasion, and ask thee for thy friendship: in the mean time I remain Pashwan Oglou; and if thou shouldst chance to march against me, or to violate my territory, I can assure thee that I shall not only defend it, but teach thee on thy own ground, who I am, and what I can do."

NEW-YORK, August 31.
Accounts from Cape Francois say, that the mortality continues to be very great amongst the European troops in St. Domingo. Gen. Le Clerc was preparing to return to France, his health being much impaired. The command was to devolve on Gen. Dugua.
We have been favored with the perusal of a letter from Cape Francois of the 12th inst. stating, that on the 10th three ships of the line, having 2,000 troops on board, arrived there: and that about an hour previous to the writing of the letter, four transports, with 1500 troops, entered the harbour. These transports, it was said, had left behind them 12 or 14 others, all destined for Cape Francois. Every thing was in a state of tranquillity. Flour from 7 to 8 dollars; lumber 34 to 35; salted provisions in great demand, especially beef and pork.
September 2.
On Tuesday last, a mulatto from on board one of the French frigates, told some bye-standers at Mr. Vanderbitt's tavern, on Staten island, that three other frigates were daily expected in port, when they intended to besiege the town. He was overheard by some of the officers, who seized the fellow, beat him most unmercifully, then took him on board and put him in irons. The punishment, they said, was not for telling the truth, but for lying.

A NEW SONG.
By DIODIN.
A batchelor leads an easy life, Few folks that are wed live better, A man may live well with a very good wife, But the puzzle is, how to get her.
There are pretty good wives, and pretty bad wives,
And wives neither one thing nor t'other; And as for the wives who scold all their lives, I'd sooner wed Adam's grand-mother.
Then ladies & gents, if to marriage inclin'd, May deceit nor ill humor entrap ye! May those who are single get mates to their mind,
And those who are married live happy!
Some choose their ladies for ease or for grace, Or a pretty turn'd foot as they're walking; Some choose 'em for figure, and some for a face, But very few choose them for talking.
Now, as for a wife, I could follow thro' life, 'Tis she who can speak sincerely; Who, not over nice, can give good advice, And love a good husband dearly.
So ladies and gents, when to wedlock inclin'd, May deceit and ill humor ne'er trap ye! May those who are single find mates to their minds,
And those who are married live happy!
