Poetry. IMPROMTU, On hearing the "Aurora" styled "a lover of wrath." D— has great respect for Truth, That every man must own; He proves his deference, ev'ry day By—letting her alone! Q. E. D. [Freeman's Journal.]
A GOOSE'S REASON. A goose, my granma one day said Entering a barn, pops down its head, I begged her then the cause to show: She told me she must wave the task: For nothing but a goose would ask What nothing but a goose could know. Monitor.....No. 19
THE PREACHER.....No. 12. "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away." THE situation of a minister and teacher in Israel, is a place of high responsibility, and I presume there is no station whatever, in which it is so difficult to behave with propriety. Paul, the great apostle of the Gentiles, saw and acknowledged the truth of this; it was therefore his constant endeavour to "keep under his body," to correct his vicious inclinations, and to subdue every irregular appetite. The delicate situation in which every minister of the Gospel is placed, should excite them peculiarly assiduous to resist those sins which beset and "war against the soul." The least deviation from rectitude which is observed in a minister, is written as with "point of a diamond" on the memory of every one, and no advance is made for the weakness and fallibility of human nature; nor are any of his good actions or virtues, ever placed on the opposite scale, or suffered to plead any palliation. But all who make any public profession of religion, are, in a measure, preachers to others. Every person looks to those who openly profess and worship God, for good examples; and if such neglect known duties, it may be a means of leading many into error, by creating in them a distrust of that system which they hear advocated, and causing them to suppose that the Gospel cannot be very pure, when those who profess a firm belief in it, "do not act according to its precepts." So it is with every preacher of morality. Would a man reform his neighbor? He must first reform himself. Would he have his neighbor deal justly? He must render to every man his due. Would he wish to make his neighbor charitable? He must set him the example. "Physician, heal thyself;" such a divine teacher; and while we neglect this material point, we shall be ill capacitated to correct the vices of others. "The preacher," will now leave for a while the monitatorial department, and turn his attention more particularly to dissecting himself of those evil propensities which he holds in common with others, lest it be tauntingly said to him, "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then thou shalt see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."
POLICE OF LONDON. Sept. 5—This day a dowager, about fifty-six, named Martin, who exhibited one conspicuous black eye, charged a Mr. M'Gloughlin, a foreign gentleman, who lodged in the same house, with knocking her down at her lodgings on Thursday night, beating her unmercifully, and giving her the black eye. The charge was corroborated upon the venerable testimony of her mother, a lady whose age seemed converging to the termination of her first century. Mr. M'Gloughlin being called on for his plea of defence to this charge, stated that it arose from jealousy, not indeed of an amorous kind. He was in his own apartment opposite that of these ladies, retiring to rest with his wife, when he suddenly heard a most obstreperous volley of eloquence at his door, discharged by the junior dowager, in which she greeted him by all the opprobrious epithets which her fancy, aided by the inspiration of her duty bottle, could suggest. He opened the door to entreat a parley, and inquire into the cause of the good lady's ire; but she flew upon him like a lynx, tattooed his visage with her claws, which immediately brought the pouring streams of blood meandering down his cheeks. He endeavoured to retreat from the attack, but the lady followed up her first essay, and in endeavouring to make a second spring at her object, missed her pounce, and fell flat on the floor, when she immediately seized Mr. M'Gloughlin by the legs, made a desperate attack on them inguinibus et rostro, and brought him down. He endeavoured, in vain, to extricate himself from her clutches, and declared he was obliged to strike her in order to force her to let him loose. The only reason she assigned for her violent attack, was, that he had one day the audacity to tell her, that he liked the manners and deportment of her mother better than her own. The Lord Mayor very patiently reprimanded the woman, in any case, but much more so a woman of the plaintiff's advanced years; and insisted upon satisfaction being made to her.
"There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart, "It does not feel for man."

Satirical. From Newyork we receive, though not with quite so much regularity as it is printed, an ingenious pamphlet with the appropriate title of SALMAGUNDI, or the Whim-Whams and Opinions of Launcelot Langstaff and others. Its avowed object is to smile at the peculiarities of humourists, to deride the follies of fashion, and to expose the absurdity of our institutions. Its editors are a confederacy of men of wit and men of the world; and though they have very carefully concealed themselves from the public, yet they are not unknown to us. During our Academic life, as we disdain the dull discipline of a Calvinistic College, we pursued a course of studies of our own choice, and, as our humour prompted, used to raise the Devil with Dr. Faustus, or study the stars like Goodman Ptolemy. Magick had much of our regard. We held sorceresses in high estimation, and had a profound respect for a necromancer. We were skilled in fairy wiles and roguish arts and all curious arts but the black art, which our honor would not permit us to understand. The moment we heard of this incoherent club at Newyork, we called for our boots of curious science, and casting several figures and making divers flourishes with a Jacob's staff, which is a sort of heir-loom in our family, we saw distinctly the whole group of the eaters for Salmagundi; and truly they are purveyors of an exquisite taste, Merrier men, Within the limits of becoming mirth We never spent an hour's talk withal. In the following poignant essay, the writer, who is a well principled Federalist, a wit, and a cavalier, has derided a chattering country with great liveliness of description, and all the sharpness of satire. Satis eloquentia, sapientia parum, is the characteristic of Columbia as well as of Cataline. We talk incessantly, and talk loud, and Candour is willing to acknowledge that many talk well. But after bellowing vehemently, do our politicians act wisely? Do we follow up angry orations with valiant actions, and is our spirit of the same tone with our speeches? No; the reverse is lamentably the case. Like our red brethren, we have many a long tail, but we have neither their war-scoop, nor their dexterous stratagem. We cannot conclude this introduction, without again commending the conductors of this facetious miscellany. The style of Mustapha, without servility, very successfully imitates GOLDSMITH's manner in the Citizen of the World.—Fort Folio.
LETTER FROM MUSTAPHA RUB-A-DUB KILI KHAN, To ASEM HAGGEM principal slave-driver to his highness the Bashaw of Tripoli. I promised in a former letter, good Asem, that I would furnish thee with a few hints respecting the nature of the government by which I am held in durance. Though my inquiries for that purpose have been industrious, yet I am not perfectly satisfied with their results, for thou mayest easily imagine that the vision of a captive is overshadowed by the mists of illusion and prejudice, and the horizon of his speculations must be limited indeed. I find that the people of this country are strangely at a loss to determine the nature and proper character of their government. Even their dervises are extremely in the dark as to this particular, and are continually indulging in the most preposterous disquisitions on the subject; some have insisted that it is a pure democracy; and a third set of theorists declare absolutely that it is nothing more nor less than a monarchy. The latter I must confess, though still wide in error, have come nearest to the truth. Thou of course must understand the meaning of these different words, as they are derived from the ancient greek language, and bespeak loudly the verbal poverty of these poor infidels, who cannot utter a learned phrase without laying the dead languages under contribution. A man, my dear Asem, who talks good sense in his native tongue, is held in tolerable estimation in this country; but a fool who clothes his feeble ideas in a foreign or antique garb, is howed down to, as a literary prodigy. While I conversed with these people in plain English, I was but little attended to, but the moment I prosed away in Greek, every one looked up to me with veneration as an oracle. Although the dervises differ widely in the particulars abovementioned yet they all agree in terming their government one of the most pacific in the known world. I cannot help pitying their ignorance, and smiling at times to see into what ridiculous errors these nations will wander who are unenlightened by the precepts of Mahomet, our divine prophet, and instructed by the five hundred and forty-nine books of wisdom by the immortal Ibrahim Hassan al Fusti. T call this nation peace! most preposterous! it reminds me of the title assumed by the Sheiks of that murderous tribe of wil Arabs, who desolate the valleys of Bosphorus, who style themselves sirs of courtesy. The simple truth of the matter is, that these people are totally ignorant in their own true character; for, according to the best of my observation, they are the most warlike, and I must say, the most savage nation that I have as yet discovered among all the barbarians. They are not only at war (in their own way) with almost every nation on earth, but they are at the same time engaged in the most complicated knot of civil wars that ever infested any poor unhappy country on which ALLA has denounced his malediction! To let thee at once into a secret, which is unknown to these people themselves, their government is a pure unadulterated LOGOCRACY or government of words. The whole nation does every thing via voce, or, by word of mouth, and in this manner is one of the most military nations in existence. Every man who has, what is here called, the gift of the gab, that is, a plentiful stock of verbosity, becomes a soldier outright, and is forever in a militant state. The country is entirely defended via lingua, that is to say by force of tongues. The account which I lately wrote to our friend the snorer, respecting the immense army of six hundred men, makes nothing against this observation; that formidable body being kept up, as I have already observed only to amuse their fair country women by their splendid appearance and nodding plumes, and are, by way of distinction, denominated the "defenders of the fan." In a logocracy thou well knowest there is little or no occasion for fire arms, or any such destructive weapons. Every offensive or defensive measure is enforced by wordy battle, and paper war; he who has the longest tongue, or readiest quill, is sure to gain the victory—will carry horror, abuse, and inuendo into the very trenches of the enemy, and without mercy or remorse, put men, women, and children, to the point of the pen! There are still preserved in this country some remains of that gothic spirit of knight-errantry, which so much annoyed the faithful in the middle ages of the Hejira. As, notwithstanding their martial disposition, they are a people much given to commerce and agriculture, and must necessarily at certain seasons be engaged in these employments, they have accommodated themselves by appointing knights, or constant warriors, incessant brawlers, similar to those, who, in former ages, swore eternal enmity to the followers of our divine prophet. These knights denominated editors or SLANG-WHANGERS are appointed in every town, village and district, to carry on both foreign and internal warfare, and may be said to keep up a constant "brag in words." Oh, my friend, could you but witness the enormities sometimes committed by these tremendous slang-whangers, your very turban would rise with horror and astonishment. I have seen them extend their ravages even into the kitchens of their opponents, and annihilate the very cook with a blast; and I do assure thee, I beheld one of these warriors attack a most venerable bashaw, and at one stroke of his pen lay him open from the waistband of his breeches to his chin! There has been a civil war carrying on with great violence for some time past, in consequence of a conspiracy among the higher classes, to dethrone his highness, the present bashaw, and place another in his stead. I was mistaken when I formerly asserted to thee that this dissatisfaction arose from his wearing red breeches. It is true the nation have long held that colour in great detestation in consequence of a dispute they had some twenty years since with the barbarians of the British islands. The colour, however, is again rising into favor, as the ladies have transferred it to their heads from the bashaw's body. The true reason I am told, is that the bashaw absolutely refuses to believe in the deluge, and in the story of Balaam's ass—maintaining that this animal was never yet permitted to talk except in a genuine logocracy, where it is true his voice may often be heard, and is listened to with reverence as "the voice of the sovereign people." Nay, so far did he carry his obstinacy that he absolutely invited a professed anti-deluvian from the Gallic empire, who illuminated the whole country with his principles—and his nose. This was enough to set the nation in a blaze—every slang-whanger restored to his tongue or his pen; and for seven years have they carried on a most inhuman war, in which volumes of words have been expended, oceans of ink have been shed; nor has any mercy been shown to age, sex, or condition. Every day have these slang-whangers made furious attacks upon each other, and upon their respective adherents, discharging their heavy artillery, consisting of large sheets, loaded with scoundrel! vilian! liar! rascal! numskull! nincompoop! dunderhead! jackass! And I do swear by my beard, though I know thou wilt scarcely credit me, that in some of these skirmishes the grand bashaw himself has been woefully pelted!—yea most ignominiously pelted, and yet have these talking desperadoes escaped without the bastinado! Every now and then, a slang-whanger, who has a longer head, or rather a longer tongue, than the rest will elevate his peace and discharge a shot quite across the ocean, levelled at the head of the Emperor of France, the King of England; or, (wouldst thou believe it, Asem) even at his sublime highness the bashaw of tripoli! these long pieces are loaded with single ball or language, as tyrant! usuper! robber! tyrant! monster! And thou mayest well suppose, they occasion great distress and dismay in the camps of the enemy, and are marvelously annoying to the crowned heads which they were directed. The slang-whanger, though perhaps the mere champion of a village, having fired off his shot, bruts about with great self-congratulation, chuckling at the prodigious bustle he must have occasioned, and seems to ask of every

Foreign News.
By the ship Sarah and Eliza, which arrived at Boston on Wednesday last, London papers to April 28, and Paris dates to April 18th, have been received.
It appears that both the Grand Armies were daily reinforcing;—The French Grand army was to be organized into three distinct armies. The first to be commanded by Marshal Massena, and to operate on the right—the 2nd by the Duke of Berg, (Murat) in the centre—and the 3d to form the left, under the Prince of Ponte-Corvo, (Bernadotte.)
It was apparent that some great military plans were in secret operation; and which must speedily be developed.
A powerful expedition was in preparation in England;—part of which was supposed to be destined against Hamburg; and part against Denmark. There were, however reports of general pacific negotiations being on the tapis; and there were believers in them.
Accounts from Malaga state that the English and Turkish fleets have met and fought; the latter defeated, and compelled to make peace.
A rumor prevailed that the grand armies in Poland had settled an armistice; but this, like most other rumors, claim but little credit.
On the 25th of April, a very elegant dinner was given at the London Tavern, by the British merchants, trading to North-America, to Mr. Monroe, minister from the United States.—The company was very numerous and highly respectable.—Among the toasts which were drunk on this occasion, we notice the following:
The President of the United States of America. Perpetual friendship between Great Britain and the United States of America. Mr. Monroe—Mr. Pinkney. The Honorable Mr. Erskine, the British Minister to the United States of America. Before the visitors withdrew, Mr. Canning, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave the following toast: May the British and Americans never meet on terms less friendly than they have done this day. Which was drunk with the utmost satisfaction.
The signs of the present times are truly alarming. Every GOSHAW now feels himself an EAGLE—and thinks himself competent to decide, peremptorily, on all questions which are brought before a court of justice; nay, to arraign and condemn the decisions of those courts . The affair of Mr. Selfridge, in Boston, has been made a party business—and because he was acquitted, after a most solemn and impartial trial , his political adversaries have taken upon them to condemn the constitutional authority which administers the law, and the laws themselves —indeed the jacobin goes so far as to tell us, that the people will not much longer submit to such laws. The laws of England, and the laws of this country, say, that no man shall be tried twice for the same offence —but it might be supposed that the jacobins, by all this clamor, expect to bring Mr. Selfridge to a new trial, before a jury packed by themselves . Such a proceeding as this would not be any way inconsistent with their principles and practices. We learn that one of the jacobin judges in Pennsylvania, whose name is Cooper (an imported patriot ) has passed two or three different sentences on a person for the same offence. We learn, moreover, that the good republican citizens of Nashville, in Tennessee, have hanged a negro, absque judicio , who was guilty of a barbarous and horrible crime. But neither his being black, or the magnitude of his crime, will justify hanging him, otherwise than by due course of law ; for if the practice of executing summary justice on the blacks is given into, the transition is easy from blacks to whites . It lately happened, that a white man was taken up for horse-stealing at Savannah. The owner of the horse deliberately loaded his rifle, and shot the thief through the body. This man carries on his business in Savannah, and has never been called to account for that unlawful action. These examples shew that the jacobins, like their prototype Robespierre, are zealots for the liberty of practising summary justice themselves —and, right or wrong, they would consign their political adversaries to the gibbet. But let these blood-hounds desist from their attempt to bring into disrepute and contempt the constituted authorities of their country—and let them respect the unalterable decision of one of the most respectable courts in the Union , instead of torturing law and gospel to make them the vehicles of their rancorous malice. IF THE YEOMANRY CAN BE DUPED A FEW YEARS LONGER, to put the power and revenues of the country into the hands of the jacobins, we have every reason to fear that both life and property will be on a very precarious footing.— Prov. Gaz.
CROSS READING.
A fire lately raged in the heads of Burr, Adair, and Comfort Tyler—which did great damage to the inhabitants. The new treaty with Great-Britain—died, last night, with a cold, caught in the past sage. The President, we understand, has declined the honor of another—trip to Carter's Mountain. The late freshest has done great damage to—16000 pair of ladies' and gentlemen's shoes. All persons are hereby forbid harboring—The Stratford new Bridge—seen by Capt. Buddington, in company with five others, going to wards Boston.— Balance.
the most indecent accusations against the court, the witnesses, the counsel of Mr. Burr, and the inhabitants of Richmond, generally. In the Aurora of this morning it is stated that a high federal entertainment had been made for him, in Richmond. This is perhaps as true as the assertion sometime since made in the same paper, that he was entertained and feasted by the federalists when in this city, and that of his having received a public supper from the federalists of Alexandria.— U. S. Gaz.
Nothing additional relative to the proceedings in the case of col. Burr, was received by the last mail. It is understood, even if a bill for treason be brought in by the grand jury, that the trial on it cannot take place during the present session of the court.
The jurors in that case must be taken from the country in which the crime is alleged to have been committed; That is, Wood County, Virginia.
"Amidst those "throes and convulsions," says the Baltimore Post "of party interest, however, the old republican party, though few in numbers have maintained the ascendancy. The consistency of their conduct, the purity of their character, their long and tried patriotism and eminent disinterestedness, (fudge!) forming a "hedge round about them" as a body may say, " noli me tangere, impune lacessit ," (pretty pig Latin, and meaning, I take it, that any body could kick and cuff them with perfect impunity) for they possessed, and still do possess, the confidence of the people."
After a deal of circumlocution, and a column and a half of prefatory matter, the writer puts the following question: " Who shall we support for President? "
"In plain unvarnished language I say, George Clinton for President, and Nathaniel Macon, or John Langdon, for Vice-President? "— Week. Insp.
BOSTON, JUNE 11.
Late from the Mediterranean. A gentleman, who came passenger in the ship Thomas, arrived here yesterday, from Marseilles, last from Malaga, states, that the American Consul at the latter place, informed him of official accounts having been received, that Peace had actually taken place between the Ottoman Porte and Russia and England ; that this event was however not effected until after a severe and destructive battle between the English and Turkish fleets, in which the former were victorious, but though the loss of great many killed and wounded, and the blowing up of one of its largest ships of war.

Among the private petitions presented, was one for a new bank at Augusta. CT> This is the second or third application for a bank this session.—But we can confidently say, none will be granted.
The committee on Military fines [ grown a great gievance ] was directed to sit in the recess.
The Eastern Land Committee were instructed to report on the expediency of allowing certain Eastport settlers a further time to obtain deeds.
The Committee on Finance was directed to report on the expediency of further reducing the State debt, by the purchase of notes, &c.

It was ordered, that Major-General Elliot deposit in the Adjutant-General's office, the records and proceedings of the Court-Martial on Joseph Loring, jun. that the committee on his case may have access to them.
His Excellency the Governor, by message, made communication respecting the river Schoodick, and the eastern boundary of this State, and the United States.

A Cowardly fellow, much given to apparent courage , or boasting, (as most cowards are,) having spoken impertinently to a gentleman, received a violent box on the ear. Summoning his most authoritative tone, he demanded whether that was meant in earnest. "Yes sir," replied the other, without hesitation. The coward, thinking, he should have frightened him, turned away, saying, "I am glad of it sir, for I do not like such jests ."

"His Majesty trusts that the divisions naturally and unavoidably excited by the late unfortunate and uncalled for agitation of a question so interesting to the feelings and opinions of His people, will speedily pass away; and that the prevailing sense and determination of all His subjects to exert their united efforts in the cause of their country, will enable His Majesty to conduct to an honorable and secure termination, the great contest in which he is engaged."
The Lord Chancellor then, in His Majesty's name, and by virtue of the said Commission, declared the Parliament to be prorogued to Wednesday the 13th day of May next.
The Lords Commissioners withdrew from the House, and the Commons retired from the Bar.
OF TURKEY.
Government are in hourly expectation of the arrival of dispatches from Admiral Duckworth. There is mystery in his proceedings before Constantinople, which must continue inexplicable until they arrive. He was furnished with ample means of destroying the town; his instructions were positive, and so full as to suit every possible exigency. Even the number of minutes during which he was to wait for an answer to the proposals transmitted to the Divan, was Specified.
EXPECTED ARMISTICE.
No intelligence from the Continent has reached us this morning. It is a prevailing opinion that an Armistice has taken place between the armies in Poland.
SPECK OF PEACE.
It was rumoured yesterday that a cartel had arrived from France, and that some pacific proposal had been made to our government. Stocks in consequence experienced a rise. We cannot find out, however, that any communication has been made from the French to our government. There was a rumor too last night, an unfounded one, we believe, of an armistice between Russia and France.
Accounts from various parts of the continent agree, that during the late cessation of military movements, some negotiations for a peace were entered into—and in fact they go so far as to state, that an armistice had absolutely been concluded; but this needs confirmation.
The Russian and French armies are not more than 25 German miles distant from each other.
A great dearth of provisions is said to prevail in the Republic of the Seven Islands.
Our Dover letter states that a heavy firing took place on the opposite French coast on Saturday evening, but the cause was unknown. A circumstance of this kind always excites considerable interest, as the French announce their victories and other important events in this way.
A correspondence has taken place between Mr. Secretary Canning and Mr. Monroe in which the former is authorized thus officially to state the disapprobation of the Admiralty at the conduct of certain British Commanders, in having warned some American ships from entering the port of Antwerp.
The situation in which the military affairs of the continent stood at our last dates, renders it pretty certain, that a great and decisive battle has taken place ere this. Report is busy in stating the fact, and numbering the loss of the French, in killed alone, at 30,000 men; but this we do not credit. Rumor also states, that Jerome Bonaparte, has been surprised and taken prisoner by the Prussians.
The houses of Hope, Willinck & Co. have agreed to furnish the Dutch government with a loan of 40,000,000 of ducats. The contractors, it is said be permitted to carry on a trade with England, in certain articles of commerce, hitherto prohibited by the government of Holland.

"We hear that Mr. Jefferson is mad enough to send back the Treaty. You would not get one better."
"The Dutch Government has granted Hope, &c. licences to import directly from this country! This will ruin your trade to Holland."

PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 8.
Burr's Trial.—It is evident from the communications made to the Aurora by the editor now at Richmond, that he expects the government will be able to prove nothing against Burr. He is accordingly endeavouring to prepare the minds of his readers for the result by the most gross insinuations and
all opposition by the force of reason and philosophy; throws his gauntlet at all nations of the earth and defies them to meet him—on the field of argument!—Is the national dignity insulted, a case in which his highness of Tripoli would immediately call forth his forces—the bashaw of America utters a speech. Does a foreign invader molest the commerce in the very mouth of the harbours, an insult which would induce his highness of Tripoli to order out his fleet—his highness of America utters a speech. Are the free citizens of America dragged from on board the vessels of their country and forcibly detained in the war ships of another power—his highness utters a speech—is a peaceable citizen killed by the murderers of a foreign power on the very shore of his country—his highness utters a speech. Does an alarming insurrection break out in a distant part of the empire—his highness utters a speech!—nay, more, for here he shows his "energies"—he most intrepidly dispatches a courier on horseback, and orders him to ride one hundred and twenty miles a day, with a most formidable army of proclamations , (i. e. a collection of words) packed up in his saddle-bags. He is instructed to show no favor nor affection, but to charge the thick-set ranks of the enemy, and to speechify and batter by words the conspiracy and the conspirators out of existence. Heavens, my friend, what a deal of bluster! is here; it reminds me of the dung-hill cock in a farm-yard, who, having accidentally in his scratchings found a worm immediately begins a most vociferous cackling—calls around him his hen-hearted companions, who run chattering from all quarters to gobble down the poor little worm, that happened to turn under his eye. Oh, Asen! Asen! on what a prodigious great scale is every thing in this country!
Thus, then, I conclude my observations. The infidel nations have each a separate character, a distinct trait, by which they may be distinguished from each other; the Spaniards, for instance, may be said to sleep upon every affair of importance—the Italians to fiddle upon every thing—the French to dance upon every thing—the Germans to smoke upon every thing—the British Islanders to tear upon every thing—and the windy subjects of the American lococracy to talk upon every thing.
Ever thine, MUSTAPHA.

Dissolution of Parliament.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
LONDON, APRIL 27.
The Lord Chancellor, in his Majesty's Name, delivered the following Speech:
"My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have in command from his Majesty to inform you that his Majesty had thought fit to avail himself of the first moment which would admit of the interruption of the sitting of Parliament, without material inconvenience to the public business, to close the present Session: And that his Majesty has therefore been pleased to cause a Commission to be issued, under the Great Seal, for proroguing Parliament. "We are further commanded to state to you, that his Majesty is anxious to recur to the sense of his people, while the events which have recently taken place are yet fresh in their recollection."
"His Majesty feels, that in resorting to this measure, under the present circumstances, he at once demonstrates in the most unequivocal manner, his own conscientious persuasion of the rectitude of those motives upon which he has acted; and affords to his people the best opportunity of testifying their determination to support him in every exercise of the prerogatives of his Crown, which is conformable to the sacred obligations under which they are held, and conducive to the welfare of his kingdom, and to the security of the Constitution."
"His Majesty directs us to express his entire conviction, that after so long a reign, marked by a series of indulgences to his Roman Catholic Subjects, they in common with every other class of his people, must feel assured of his attachment to the principles of a just and enlightened toleration; and of his anxious desire to protect equally, and promote impartially, the happiness of all descriptions of his subjects."
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons."
"His Majesty has commanded us to thank you, in His Majesty's name, for the supplies which you have furnished for the public service."
"He has seen with great satisfaction, that you have been able to find the means of defraying, in the present year, those large but necessary expenses, for which you have provided, without imposing upon his people the immediate burden of additional taxes."
"His Majesty has observed with no less satisfaction the inquiries which you have instituted into subjects connected with public economy. And, he trusts, that the early attention of the new Parliament, which he will forthwith direct to be called, will be applied to the prosecution of these important objects."
"My Lords and Gentlemen, "His Majesty has directed us most earnestly to recommend to you, that you should cultivate, by all means in your power, a spirit of union, harmony,
stranger, "Well, sir, what do they think of me in Europe?" This is sufficient to show you the manner in which these bloody, or rather sandy fellows fight; it is the only mode allowable in a lococracy or government of words. I would also observe that their civil wars have a thousand ramifications.
While the fury of the battle rages in the metropolis, every little town and village has a distinct broil , growing like excrescences out of the grand national altercation, or rather agitating within it, those complicated pieces of mechanism where there is a "wheel within a wheel."
But in nothing is the verbose nature of this government more evident, than in its grand national divan , or congress, where the laws are framed; this is a blustering windy assembly where every thing is carried by noise, tumult and debate; for thou must know, that the members of this assembly do not meet together to find out wisdom in the multitude of counsellors, but to rangle, call each other hard names, and hear themselves talk. When the Congress opens, the bashaw first sends them a long message (i. e. a huge mass of words— cox et preterea nihil ) all meaning nothing; because it only tells them what they perfectly know already. Then the whole assembly are thrown into a ferment, and have a long talk, about the quantity of words that are to be returned in answer to this message; and here arises many disputes about this correction and alterations of " if so be ," and " how so ever ." A month, perhaps, is spent in thus determining the precise number of words the answer shall contain, and then another most probably, in concluding whether it shall be carried to the bashaw on foot, on horseback, or in coaches. Having settled this weighty matter, they next fall to work upon the message itself, and hold as much chattering over it as so many magpies over an added egg. This done they divide the message into small portions, and deliver them into the hands of little junks of talkers , called committees: these junks have a world of talking about their respective paragraphs, and return the results to the grand divan, which forthwith falls to and retails the matter over more earnestly than ever. Now after all this is an even chance that the subject of this prodigious arguing, quarrelling, and talking is an affair of no importance, and ends entirely in smoke. May it not then be said, that the whole nation have been talking to no purpose? the people, in fact seem to be somewhat conscious of this propensity to talk, by which they are characterized, and have a favorite phrase on the subject, viz. "all talk and no cider;" this is particularly applied when their congress (or assembly of all the sage chatters of the nation) have chattered through a whole session, in a time of great peril and momentous event, and have done nothing but exhibit the length of their tongues and the emptiness of their heads. This has been the case more than once, my friend; and to let thee into a secret, I have been told in confidence, that that there have been absolutely several old women singled out from congress from different parts of the empire, who having once got on the breeches, as thou may'st well imagine have taken the lead in debate; and overwhelmed the whole assembly with their gabble; for my part, as times go, I do not see why old women should not be eligible to public councils as old men, who possess their disposition—they certainly are eminently possessed of the qualifications requisite to govern in a lococracy.
Nothing, as I have repeatedly insisted, can be done in this country without talking, but they take so long to talk over a measure, that by the time they have determined upon adopting it, the period has elapsed, which was proper for carrying it into effect. Unhappy nation—thus torn to pieces by intestine talks! never, I fear, will it be restored to tranquillity and silence. Words are but breath—breath is but air; and air put in motion is nothing but wind. This vast empire, therefore, may be compared to nothing more or less than a mighty windmill, and the orators, and the chatters, and the slant sycophants, are the breezes that put it in motion; mutually however they are apt to blow different ways, and their blasts counteract each other—the mill is perplexed, the wheels stand still—the grit is unground, and the miller and his family starved.
Every thing partakes of the windy nature of the government. In case of any domestic grievance, or an insult from a foreign foe, the people are all in a buzz—town meetings are immediately held, where the quid-nuncs of the city repair, each like an Atlas, with the cares of the whole nation upon his shoulders, each resolutely bent upon saving his country, and each swelling and strutting like a turkey-cock, puffed up with words, and wind, and nonsense. After hustling, and buzzing, and howling for some time, & after each man has shown himself to be in dubitably the greatest personage in the meeting, they pass a string of resolutions (i. e. words) which were previously prepared for the purpose; these resolutions are whimsically denominated the sense of the meeting, and are sent off for the instruction of the reigning bashaw, who receives them graciously, puts them into his red breeches pocket, forgets to read them—and so the matter ends.
As to his highness, the present bashaw, who is, at the very top of the hegemony, never was a dignitary better qualified for his station. He is a man of superlative ventosity, and comparable to nothing but a huge bladder of wind. He talks of vanquishing
NOTE. BY WILLIAM WIZARD, ESQ.
The sage Mustapha, when he wrote the above paragraph, had probably in his eye the following anecdote, related either by Linstrum, Etchison, or Josephus Millerus, vulgarly called Joe Miller—of facetious memory.
The captain of a slave vessel, on his first landing on the coast of Guinea, observed under a palm-tree a negro chief sitting most majestically on a stump, while two women, with wooden spoons, were administering his favorite portion of boiled rice, which as his imperial majesty was a little greedy, would part of it escape the place of destination, and run down his chin. The watchful attendants were particularly careful to intercept these escape-grace particles, and return them to their proper port of entry. As the captain approached, in order to admire this curious exhibition of royalty, the great chief clapped his hands to his sides, and saluted his visitor with the following pompous question, "Well, sir! what do they say of me in England?"

The practice of firing guns in the back fields in this town, we fear will produce unpleasant consequences, unless measures are adopted to suppress this unlawful amusement. One day last week a ball was fired into a house in Cumberland-Street, which broke two panes of glass, grazed the head of a child in the house, who was playing, and lodged in the chimney. This is the second ball which has been fired into the same house within these few weeks past.
Has the Bath Robber arrived in Portland? —On Friday evening last, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a gentleman, in passing the Rev. Dr. Dens's meeting house, was stopped by a man clothed in a sailor's habit, who rushed from behind the box of one of the trees and presented a pistol to the gentleman's breast—demanded his watch, and such other articles as he had in possession!—The gentleman having just parted with his friend called to him, and at the same time struck the Robber on the hand in which he held the pistol: when he turned upon his heels, and made his escape.—It being dark, could not see distinct enough to describe his person.—We concluded he was an Irishman by his voice.
House-Breaking. —We understand the dwelling-house of Mr. John Dole, of New-Milford, was broken open on the night of the 6th inst. by (it is thought) a son of Tipperary, who "had come all the way" to this country in search of an "asylum for oppressed humanity." He forced open a desk, and took therefrom 65 dollars in silver, 30 dollars in gold, and a pocket-book containing a number of valuable papers, and a few dollars in bank bills.—100 dollars reward is offered for detecting the thief.
A Raleigh paper of the 21st instant, says,—"On Friday evening last, the plantations in the neighborhood of this place, were considerably injured by a hail storm. Its ravages were chiefly confined to the waters of Crabtree—Some of the hail stones the next day measured 9 inches in circumference!!!—It not only beat the growing corn into the ground, but knocked off most of the fruit from the trees, and in some places the ground is covered with the verdure of the pines and other growth, which it has entirely left naked—killed lambs, pigs, poultry & birds—crippled several young cattle, and done considerable other damage. The next morning was remarkably warm, which is singular immediately after a hail storm."
Married,
In Boston, Mr. Thomas Larkin, mer. of Bath, to Miss Mary Batterman. At Wiscasset, by the Rev. Mr. Packard, Capt. Thomas Cutts, jr. of Saro, to Miss Mary Augusta Cook, daughter of Hon. Orchard Cook. In Surry, (Maine) Mr. Nahum Jordan, of Trenton, to Miss Rachel Joy.—Capt. Thomas Means, of Surry, to Miss Elizabeth Heath, of Mt. Desert.
In Windham, Mr. Lawrence Mason, of this town, to Miss Abigail Barker. In Freeport, by the Rev. Mr. Venzie, Mr. John Webster, to Miss Susanna Staples. In this town, Mr. Joseph Hale, to Miss Almina Bradbury.
Died,
In Paris Victor Leopold Berthier, General of Division and one of the Commanders of the Legion of Honor. In London, W. Anderson—whose death was occasioned by a cat's getting into a cupboard and upsetting a bowl of broth, which fell upon his temple. In Gorham, Ebenezer Bangs, aged 45. In this town, on Tuesday last, Mr. John Davis; of the wound he received by the explosion of a cannon on the 1st inst.
