AN ACCOUNT OF A HEBREW MANUSCRIPT COPY OF THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES, NOW IN NEWYORK:
In a Letter from Mr. Solomon Simson, the Proprietor, to Dr. Mitchell, dated March 26, 1802.
SIR, "THE old Manuscript Bible in my possession, of which you have desired some information, was brought from Turkey to England by a gentleman who left his library to a relation of his in this country, and from the latter my aged father purchased it with some other books. It is written in a character something resembling Rofha, or rather, it is to be presumed that Rofha borrowed or copied his from it. It is very different from the square character we have in use, and is about the size of a large octavo written in two columns, on parchment, or velum, as fine as silk. The songs of Moses, Deborah, and David, are poetical, written with the greatest uniformity and neatness, with black shining ink. It is also accompanied with marginal notes, written, so fine and small that it requires good eyes, or glasses, to distinguish them. The Psalms appear to be a most masterly performance, and the diversity of the measure seems pleasingly to strike the eye, even of those who are unacquainted with the language, and is supposed to be the original poetry in which they were written by David, &c. There appears a great play of words and letters, some of the Psalms beginning with the alphabet and in order going through the same with many variations. The 119th Psalm is written in two columns, of four lines each, each eight verses beginning with the aleph, the next eight with the beth, and proceeding through the alphabet in that order, which is probably the reason of its being marked, in our English Bible with aleph, beth, &c.
"The two first chapters, and part of the last, in the book of Job, are written in prose in two columns. The other part of the book is in short Hemistich verse, beautifully written, and the whole handsomely pointed. The accents appear to be the same as in our printed books, except the ten commandments, which are only with simple accents.
"In Joshua, chap. xxi between the verses 35 and 36, two verses are inserted, with the names of four cities of refuge, of the tribe of Reuben, &c, which are not in our Hebrew or English bibles: and Everardo Vander Hooght, in his edition, printed in Amsterdam, in 1705, mentions, in his preface, that these two verses are only to be found in three old, corrected manuscript books, but which he supposes to be an error. The order of the books in the manuscript is as follows:
"The Law, in five books. "Joshua, Judges, and Samuel, each in one. "Kings in one, without any division. "Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Ruth, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Chronicles, each in one.
"The late Myles Cooper, L. L. D. President of King's College, delivered my father, Joseph Simpson, the following letter, with the book therein mentioned.
"Sir, "I have been informed by Dr. Cooper, that you benevolently intend to lend me your curious Hebrew M. S. and when you have so done, I shall celebrate, in the most grateful manner, your public spirit and generosity. I will take the utmost care of it, and it shall be returned in twelve months, to the person in London you appoint to receive it; and for this I will give a note of hand, or (if you require it) a bond of obligation. You will receive of Dr. Cooper the present of a book of mine, in which I have published your kind intention; and I hope you will accept that book as a mark of the gratitude of, Sir, your highly obliged, and very humble servant, B. KENNICOTT.
"Oxford, March 4, 1770." "In May following my father received the following note:
"Mr. Cooper's compliments to Mr. Simson, returns him Dr. Kennicott's letter, which he did not send for yesterday, but only for his own, and hopes that Mr. Simson's determination on the point in question, viz. the transmission of the M. S. to England, is favourable to the grand scheme of collation, which the learned gentleman has now in hand.
"King's College, May 8, 1770." "The June following the manuscript was delivered to Dr. Cooper, with the following letter:
"Sir—In obedience to my father's commands, which give me particular pleasure, I now answer your esteemed letter, by the hands of Mr. President Cooper; and tho' the M. S. is highly valued, it is cheerfully lent to promote the great work you have undertaken. The President has engaged to return it safe in one year. Permit me to mention, that in the book you have favoured my father with, instead of his name (Joseph) mine has been inserted, which, no doubt, will be rectified. My good
father commands his respects and best wishes with mine, that you may be blest with health to go through the arduous work you have in hand—that it may be completed with the strictest regard to truth, to your honour, and the good of mankind.
"I am, with respect, Reverend Sir, your most obedient humble servant, SAMPSON SIMSON.
"Rev. B. Kennicott." "In 1772 Dr. Cooper returned the M. S. with the following letter:
"Sir—I beg you to accept of my best thanks for the use of your valuable Hebrew M. S. which I am very glad of returning to you so safely as by the hands of Dr. Cooper. I shall take care publicly to express my gratitude for this act of your kindness.
"And am, fir, your highly obliged and obedient servant, B. KENNICOTT.
"Oxford, May 11, 1772."
"There does not appear any certainty when this Hebrew M. S. was written. Gentlemen learned in the Hebrew language have differed greatly in their opinion—from 700 to 1700 years ago. Some have gone so far as to suppose it to have been written by Ezra the scribe; but all agree that it is a valuable as well as a very ancient manuscript.
"I am, fir, with due respect, your most humble servant, SOLOMON SIMSON."
"Mr. Simson's manuscript is mentioned in the second volume of Kennicott's Bible in folio, of which there is a copy in the Library of Columbia College. In the catalogue of the seven hundred which he consulted, this is the 144th, and is distinguished by the words, "Americ. Neo Ebor." It is conjectured by him to have been written between the years 1300 and 1400: of the christian era."
From the Balance.
BEWARE OF ANOTHER VILLAIN!
IN the company of these two milcreants who were advertised last week, in the Monitorial Department of the Balance, there is often seen a most notorious swindler, who gets his whole living by cheating, and Satan like "is going to and fro, and walking up and down," seeking whom he may devour," there are several peculiarities in the character and appearance of this rascal.—Though he has cheated thousands of people even of their last shilling, he is always poor. He is a gaunt meagre looking scoundrel; which is probably owing to excessive night watchings: for report says, that like a wolf, he prowls about during the whole night season, and skulks into his den as soon as the daylight appears. His lips are thin, his nose is sharp, and his eager eyes are sunk deep into their sockets, and have a most malignant squint. It is evident that he does not enjoy himself as people usually do who get a livelihood by honest industry; for he frequently all of a sudden, starts, strikes his hand against his pate, clenches his fists, bites his lips, stamps with his feet, and gnashes his teeth; while in the mean time, his whole visage is overcast with such a horrible fowl that he looks more like an infernal fury, than like a creature that is fit for human society. But all this notwithstanding, he is a most insinuating, inveigling puppy; inasmuch that those who have suffered the most by his knavery, are still fond of his company; nay they are seen to leave father and mother, wife and children, that they may associate with the wretch that has undone them. Though he is a low bred fellow, he has an itching fondness for the company of people in high life, and the favorable reception that they have too often given him, has proved the unhappy occasion of his being so much courted and caressed by others. The unfeeling culprit has meanness enough to pilfer the few pence from the pockets even of apprentice boys, and of poor men, whose wives and children are suffering with want; but he discovers a peculiar attachment to young bucks, who have rich fathers, or who have lately come into the possession of a large patrimony. After he has once become familiar with lads of spirit belonging to this class, he seldom ever leaves them as long as they have a cent in their pockets, or a shirt to their backs. Finally he seems to have no regard to party; for he is equally unscrupulous, whether the victim of his depredation be a federalist or a democrat. A public edict has forbidden all innkeepers to harbor this notorious robber; but he still finds means to introduce himself into some of their houses, and to get secret lodgings in their apartments to the great injury of society, as well as of individuals. It will be equally unpleasant and impracticable to go into a detail of all the tricks of this vile scoundrel, or to enumerate the wretched victims of his knavery. It has been remarked that his intimate companions generally come to a miserable end. Many of them have committed violence on their own lives; many of them have died under the gallows, many others of the wretched group have been condemned to be confined for life in the States' prison; while the residue have been seen to pine out the last of their days in a condition of poverty and contempt.
After this particular description of the villain, and seeing his face is but too well known in most parts of the country, it is almost needless to add that his name is GAMBLING.

LONDON, JUNE 9.
A private letter from Paris, confirms all the reports of the scarcity of corn in France, which is indeed greater than has been yet known here. Even in Paris, the price of bread is exactly three times greater now than six months since. The ensuing harvest, however, promises to be unusually large.
The greater part of the persons lately appointed to public offices in Holland, are said to be known adherents of the Orange family, and many of them were in place before the revolution. It is even stated, that the patriotic party begin to think favorably of the return of that family, long looked to as the founders and protectors of the liberty of Holland.
The Gazette of last night contains two orders of Council, prohibiting the exportation of corn and other articles of provision.
LONDON, JUNE 10.
The Navy and Army Estimates were moved last night in the House of Commons. Seventy thousand seamen and marines were voted for the remainder of the year; but this, Mr. Ad-dington said, was far beyond the peace establishment, which probable would not amount to more than thirty thousand. The present high number must unavoidably continue in consequence of so many ships of war being in distant stations abroad. The Army Estimates voted, however, seem to approach very near to the actual peace establishment, and probably they will no further vary hereafter than in certain regulations and small reductions which now cannot be made. The number of men voted is, of cavalry 14,000, comprehending thirty regiments; of infantry, nearly 50,000, comprehending seventy regiments, besides the Guards, making a total of about 70,000 men, at an expense of two millions and a half annually. The Duke of York is to continue Commander in Chief, with three Lieutenant and four Major Generals under him; besides one Lieutenant General for Scotland, and one for Ireland. This establishment of the regulars of the army is as low as any one expected; but it is not to be regarded as a final arrangement. That will probably not be made till next year.
In consequence of M. Andreossy's appointment as Ambassador from the French Republic to Great Britain, Lord Whitworth is preparing to depart for Paris.
It is generally believed at Paris, that the First Consul made use of every powerful motive to induce his brother Joseph to accept the office of Plenipotentiary to our court. Joseph Bonaparte, however, preferred the domestic enjoyments of his seat at Morfontaine to all the bustling splendor of London. He is of a temper uncommonly placid and unambitious.
LONDON, JUNE 19.
The arrival in London of Gen. Andreossy, the new French Plenipotentiary, is confidently expected in the course of the present month. M. Otto, who is preparing for his departure, will not, however, set out for Paris for some days after the General's arrival, as he is enabled to communicate much valuable information to his successor, not only with respect to the general state of diplomatic affairs in this country, but also with respect to the characters of the British and Foreign Ministers with whom it will be necessary for him to maintain an intercourse.
M. Otto is to remain a month at Paris before he takes his departure for America. This gentleman has never yet seen the First Consul, in whose esteem he holds a very distinguished rank. Much of the time during which he is to remain at Paris, will it is supposed, be passed between them in conferences on the relations between France and the United States, and on the best means of facilitating supplies for the West India possessions of the Republic.
Extract of letter from Paris, June 15.
Within these few days much conversation has taken place in a certain circle, respecting a probable change in the Constitution, and this circumstance very seriously occupies the politicians most looked up to for information; much contrariety of opinion is entertained; but on one point the parties agree, that the word Constitution will be shortly out of use, and that Grande Chartes will be substituted. It is certain that the word Constitution has been very unfortunate;—during fifteen hundred years it could not make its way into France at all, and for the last eleven, though received in triumph, it has been subject to every caprice. It is not sufficiently understood in this country, that men make the laws, but time the constitution.—Time is, of all the legislators amongst this volatile people least known, or the least consulted, though certainly the dearest paid. It is said, that there are to be two Chambers or Houses, as in England, and the Senatorial Power, (which originated in one of the fine ideas of the Abbe Sieyes) is to be abolished; if so some vice must have been found amongst the Senators themselves, and not in the idea, for it was the only body which could preserve its independence without danger, or manifest a positive and blind adherence to the Court without apologies—the protecting and elective power, known here by the
* The senate of France is not an upper branch of the Legislature, as the house of Lords in England, and the senates in this country are. We conceive that the contemplated alteration is an approximation towards two branches in the Legislature with a check each on the other, and a Supreme Executive. We hope such French constitutions will be more permanent than they have been.
title, La Puissance Conservatrice et Elective , will be transferred to the consular authority, who will then have the privilege to reject or except the laws which may be discussed, or have passed in the two chambers.
“Such are the ideas now canvassed, and it may be readily believed, that if the First Consul expresses his desire that such should be the order of things, a change will take place almost without any hint of opposition. The Royalists might see the alteration with regret, but their opinions would have little weight, and the Republicans are now sufficiently enlightened to know that the surest mode of preserving the share of Liberty, which circumstances allow them, is to conduct themselves with a tacit acquiescence to the supreme will. Tribunes and Legislators are eagerly looking out for Places under the new order of things; instead of enjoying themselves, during the Adjournment of the Session, with their families in the Country, many of them remain at Paris to watch over the great interest, not of the Republic, but of their ambition.”
PARIS, MAY 30.
The Minister of Police, to the Prefects. Reports of every sort are circulating. Altho' accustomed to those productions of malevolence and folly, still people permit themselves to be deceived by them. I consider it, therefore, my duty, Citizen Prefect, to put you on your guard against those rumours, by which it is endeavoured to agitate the departments; Paris is tranquil and cannot be agitated.
No plot has threatened, or now threatens, the life of the First Consul; he is in no danger, except from his excessive labors and attention to the interest of the Republic. Some libellers may, for a moment, circulate their gross fallacies, in the shade in which they suppose themselves concealed; but public indignation and contempt will punish them. (Signed) FOUCHÉ.
PARIS, JUNE 2.
The British Government having strictly prohibited the importation of any kind of produce from this country, the Government here were not well pleased with it; and it is in consequence of that, that a Commissaire Generale is appointed for England, to modify certain navigation laws and other commercial regulations, and that I believe will be all; for here certainly will be no treaty of commerce.
Political Sketches.
(From the Palladium)
THE removal of Mr. Tyng is a strong example of the violence and profligacy of a party that seeks to support itself independent of virtue and justice. Let it be remarked, that Mr. Tyng was not brought into office, as men now are, because he belonged to a political "set," but was sought out by Washington as a man able and worthy of confidence, at an early period, and solicited, in vain, to accept an office in the department of the treasury. Sometime after, when it became indispensable that a new collector should be appointed, he was again requested by Washington to accept the office, from which he is now removed by Mr. Jefferson. Urged by those, whose judgment he respected, he reluctantly assumed his duties, and with what vigilance, fidelity, and intelligence he discharged them, it is useless to state, as those of different politics testify their regret at his dismissal.
What then are we to think of a system, which ejects from office such men as Chester, Goodrich, and Tyng, to reward bankrupts in reputation and in fortune. However coolly this may be viewed, it is fraught with certain mischief and ruin. Every public creditor has reason to be alarmed, for the consequences of this infernal system may yet reach him, and every man who feels for the true interests of his country, sees in it the corruption of public morals, the prostration of all principle, and the destructive violence of faction.
Every officer of the government becomes the servile dependant of his executive master, the devoted agent of the man, who feeds and clothes him, instead of feeling that he is acting for the general interest of his country upon the firm tenure of good behaviour. They are taught by Mr. Jefferson himself, that all the offices of the government are a common stock, from which men are entitled to draw in proportion to the service, which they have, or can render him. Hence the period of every election involves the political death of one party, and the present administration, which has begun this system, are, in fact, responsible for all its miserable effects. The violence, the intrigue, the baseness, the falsehoods, which will be practised where so many are struggling for office under the banners of their respective chief, will leave little chance for men of integrity and character. They will be beaten in a contest, which must be decided by activity in using the means of dishonor and corruption.
As it respects the revenue, the system is the more to be dreaded the more it is considered. The promptitude and faithfulness with which it was collected under the federal administrations, at once gave a bias to public sentiment. Frauds upon the revenue, which had been practised with the countenance of public opinion, became dishonorable from the commencement of the government; and this is to be attributed, in some degree, to the character of the men whom Washington appointed. The most perfect confidence was reposed in their integrity, they executed the laws with firmness, and transacted the business with order and exactness. Hence the unparalleled example of a revenue of ten millions a year collected and rendered with facility, honor, certainty and confidence. But when we see these men, in the wanton and abusive exercise of power, hurled from office,
and their places filled with men without honor, integrity, or the requisite information, the prostituted tools of faction, shall we not be justly alarmed for the security of our revenue? It not only gives these harpies an opportunity to fatten themselves upon public property, but it opens numerous temptations to frauds, which may hereafter be practised without fear and without reproach. One half the revenue may run off through invisible channels; it may be exhaled at ten thousand pores, and who is responsible?
PAINE—THE INFIDEL.
It has lately been denied that Mr. Jefferson ever wrote to the Jacobin Thomas Paine, offering him a passage to this country in a national ship. Read the following:
“We find in our latest London paper the following extract of a letter from Thomas Jefferson, to Thomas Paine.
“You expressed a wish in your letter to return to America by a national ship. Mr. Dawson, who brings over the treaty, and who will present you this letter, is charged with orders to the Capt. of the Maryland to receive and accommodate you back, if you can be ready to depart at such a short warning. You will, in general, find us returned to sentiments worthy of former times; in these it will be your glory to have steadily laboured, and with as much effect as any man living. That you may live long to continue your useful labours, and reap the reward in the thankfulness of nations, is my sincere prayer.—Accept the assurance of my high esteem and affectionate attachment. TH: JEFFERSON.
Here we see the first Magistrate of a christian people professing his “affectionate attachment” to a drunken brutal infidel, and hoping he may find “his reward in the thankfulness of nations.” He did indeed labor to help on a revolution which has “destroyed nations not a few,” and to deprive the christian of his only hope, and for such services Mr. Jefferson welcomes him to this country. “Hear O Heaven, and be astonished O Earth!
(From the Boston Gazette.)
The following extract is from the pen of Mr. Jefferson, and is the conclusion of that chapter in his Notes on Virginia, in which he observes “It is no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty Gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
“It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.”
POPULARITY.
The same writer says, “In every form of government, whether monarchical or republican, duplicity has always proved the most efficient engine of the state machine, and those Rulers who trusted in candor and justice, have been the miserable victims of their simplicity.” If this be true, can we wonder why Mr. Adams is a private citizen, and Mr. Jefferson a President?
DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCE.
The Examiner, a Richmond democratic paper, says, “That it became necessary to build an Armoury upon the Legislature's authorizing the Executive to provide arms.”—Congress directed the building of six 74 gun ships, yet it was never discovered by these knowing ones that navy yards were absolutely necessary to carry the act of Congress into effect.—The executive could certainly, because the United States had to do, procure what arms they pleased without this Armoury; whilst on the other hand it is next to an impossibility that ships could be built without navy yards.

WILMINGTON, (DEL.) AUGUST 3.
When Boffaterre (Gaud.) was taken possession of by the French, 5000 negroes and mulattoes were shipped on board of 5 ships and sent to the Spanish main, with the intention, it was supposed, of being converted into dollars.
BURLINGTON, (N.J.) AUGUST 3.
A ROBBERY, one of the most bold and daring, at the same time the most cowardly and malignant, was committed on Friday last, near the New Mills, in the county of Burlington. An old and feeble man named Daniel Parker, living near Cedar Bridge, about 30 miles from the New Mills, blind of one eye, and almost deaf, had with unceasing industry collected about 113 dollars; but not without selling a valuable pair of oxen and a milch cow the chief support of his family much under their value—which money he secured as well as he could in a wallet, and placing it upon his back, the only conveyance he had, set off to carry the money to the sheriff of Burlington County, to pay an unjust debt for which he had made himself accountable. On his way he met with one Thomas Stewart an old culprit, on whom the humane Governor of this State, (Bloomfield) in the plenitude of his democratic power had bestowed his favor, by remitting part of the sentence of the court which had convicted him; and sent the assassin free from the State prison to rove unrestrained among the peaceable citizens of New Jersey. Stewart met the old man about a mile from the New Mills, and travelling together discovered his money—but several people passing in sight along the said road, he had no opportunity to commit the horrid act contemplated. The old man lodged that night at a relation's in the New Mills, and next morning pursued his way to Mount Holly to pay the money to the sheriff—but shocking to relate, the vile assassin and robber, Stewart, way laid him, and about 9 o'clock in the morning, not half a mile from the New Mills, and not more than a hundred paces from the Baptist Meeting House, and within sight of the air furnace, by a sudden stroke brought him to the ground—the old man partly deaf and blind, saw nothing of the assassin, and only remembered receiving the blow which stunned him. The villain seized the wallet that contained the money, tore it from his bleeding back, no doubt supposing he had given him a mortal wound—he however recovered a little and was found standing up a short time after by William Mites, who was passing the same road; he was wild and senseless, and his face in a gore of blood—a pointed knot on the club (which was found) that gave the blow had peirced the skull above the right temple, but how deep or how fatal is yet undetermined. The old man was safely conducted to the New Mills, where he still remains very ill, and his life despaired of.—Search was immediately made for the robber.—Stewart was suspected, apprehended, searched, and a part of the money found in his possession; the bag which contained the remainder was found hid in the woods, no great distance from the place where the horrid and malignant deed had been perpetrated. Stewart is lodged in prison at Burlington, and is hoped he will not be from thence delivered until he hath received his just reward. Never did men behave with a more praiseworthy and laudable zeal, than the citizens of New Mills on this occasion; they were one and all struck with horror and amazement, and inspired with a spirit of undaunted and determined perseverance to find the robber, and if possible regain the lost money and restore it to its feeble and decrepid owner, who has long supported the character of a reputable and honest man, and a worthy and pious member of the Baptist church at the New Mills.

For Jenks' Portland Gazette.
NAPFER TANDY is returned a residence in the dominions of the imperious Consul; but there is a voice that bids him welcome with his friends to the country of Mammoth—He introduces an American friend to the President:
CITIZEN: your heart's inclin'd to swell, When worth invokes your pious ear, What e'er paper—yes, you'll hear, What e'er he has to say, I know full well: "Oppress'd humanity" from grov'ling plight, Rais'd, like a struggling pony from the mire, In turn shall raise (should praise and purse require) Your bazing virtues to a nameless height.
Now, he that deigns to fawn and crouch, Using for self the means of favor, That makes a great man loudly waver, And shed his kindnesses at first ry's touch, Is mean, and very spumel-like. I own; But he that flatters for neighbor's feeding, Is the true child of charity's own breeding, A talk like his, I'm proud to make my own.
And first, what humor are you in? I'd not intrude with importunity, But wait a fairer opportunity, I thought profound has overrun your chin, And o'er your village cast a pensive gloom; Sill, lest perchance some other wretch of merit, The favor that I ask should first inherit, Give Thorne a timely audience at your room.
'Twas from a region lean and dry, The plains of Merimac he sprung; And the delug'd moon flood tell'ing by: Pierce Liberty puff'd breath into his nose, Equality form'd for his hand a club, And straight, a furious patron of the mob Arose to manhood, and to action rose. In freedom's cause, the Sheriff's pate, Of felt the virtue of his bludgeon, Which, though it were received with dudgeon, Was many a Sheriff's dominating fate; And, were yourself dress'd in a Bala's coat, Tho' pure the patriot-baze of Thorne's affection, He might, for sake of Liberty's protection Even seize your Excellency by the throat.
Perhaps a novice might enquire, "Is he a man of bony note?" To it matters not a jot, Tho' records call him cheat and fleching liar; Thorne's a Republican of Mammoth-gait, A true philosophic Dispersado. The friend of ev'ry trampart Renegado, That flies for refuge from a foreign state.
Yes, and to fight ze your fame, 'Twas on your late hard-won accession, An Ox he doom'd a "frank oblation," A sacrifice to your immortal name; But since—Disease would have the off'ring fail, But Thorne, with gothic scruple of his vow, Seized furiously his still surviving cow, And broil'd the sacred beast, head, horns and tail! Such off'ring from a feany treasure, Soon give the tongue a tone to mutter, Not that I think he'd freely utter A sentence, or do ought to your displeasure; Yet, want's a hound of most ungrateful race, 'Tho', fed like Callender, it seem to fawn, And wag with gratitude, and coax and yawn, Still, uncarr'd, 'twill mark you for the chase.
Now, Thorne's oppress'd—And can you grudge, To his lean jaws a grateful crumb, To jaws that can't be tamely dumb, Whose owner lives in need to sweat and trudge? Do, Citizen, be mindful of his case, Lest his old song of Liberty and Savings, Should turn in spite to execrable ravings, And he, through want, should "curse thee to thy place."
"Letters of compliment," and e'er made the "Prospect before us" eminently bright with the character that furnished them. It is said that the condition of the President's beard is an index to the state of his mind—when he is "all things to all men" his barber has business. This sacrifice was performed on the banks of the Merimac on the fourth of July next succeeding the election of Mr Jefferson—the plan and execution were novel in the history of burnt offerings. On the approaching prospects of Mr. J's. election, Capt. —, the high priest of Democracy made proclamation that he would barbecue an ox, but the consecrated ox having madman unluckily exit, a heifer was substituted; none but true republicans were admitted to the ceremonies: what particularly distinguished the rites of this offering was the manner of its consumption after passing the fire—I need not tell the reader that the smoke and odour having ascended to the nostrils of Mammoth, the republicans made a feast of the remnants.
London Paragraphs. When the late marquis of Bath, was a strip ling of sixteen, like an other Peregrine Pickle, he "was a mere dragon among the chambermaids." To one of these gentle abigails he was one day so rude that she complained to his mother, who being very wroth at his incontinency, he exclaimed, "Indeed he had so polished an aucle and so pretty a foot. flesh and blood could not resist the temptation." His mother, surveying his spectral form, replied, "the flesh and blood could not resist, yet skin and bone might."
An attorney lately attempted to quiz a country parson, who had a fine snuff box. "Doctor," said he, "your box is large enough to hold the freedom of a corporation." "Sir," said the priest, "it will hold any freedom—but yours."
A private, another Ollapod, in a volunteer corps, being lately reprimanded for irregular firing, replied it was not his fault but the fault of the rifle, who did not fire along with him.

ANNA MOORE. July 19, 1802.
To the Honorable the Senate, and the Honorable the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in General Court assembled.
THE subscribers humbly shew—That in their opinion, the interest of the Commonwealth would in several respects be greatly promoted by an improvement of the roads in the Eastern part of the same—That there is no better way of effecting this improvement, than by the establishment of TURNPIKES—They beg leave therefore to propose for the consideration of the Court, the expediency of making Legislative provision for the purpose of incorporating a Company to make a direct road from Piscataway River to Portland, thence to Augusta, and from Augusta to the town of Prospect on Penobscot River. It will be an expensive undertaking; but with the aid of Government, and the exertions of individuals, it may be done in a short time; and the benefit will doubtless compensate for the expense—Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your honors would make a grant to your petitioners and others who may be admitted to join them, of Ten Townships of the undivided Lands belonging to the Government, in the District of Maine, or such other number as your Honors shall judge best in aid of the undertaking—and incorporate them together with such persons as your Honors should see fit to appoint to subscribe thereto on behalf of the government (to forward the design) into a company by the name of the "MAINE TURNPIKE ASSOCIATION," and make such provision for the establishment on Turnpikes, for defraying the residue of the expense, and for carrying the plan into effect, as if your wisdom you shall judge proper. And as in duty bound will pray. SAMUEL FREEMAN, and 22 others.
