The AGREEABLE MORALIST.
WHY through this maze of wretchedness and fear, Does hope still struggle on the verge of life? Why does the soul, by matter unconfin'd, Shrink from the thought of mixing with the skies, And turn reluctant from its native sphere? Has the bright sun of never-fading morn No charms attractive to engage her eye? Or can her stream essentially divine, Lost in the tide of indolence, forget Th' almighty source from whence it first began? Absorb'd, alas! in peggantry and glare, Life's empty bauble, dances in our view, This toy of being, chains us to the world, Creates an endless conflict in the breast, And brings a dread unwillingness to die: Age is implor'd till years become a load, And tho' then sinking with the weight of time, The palsied wretch, all sickly o'er with woes, Spreads out a ghastly smile upon his hour, To think his lands are not entirely run; Yet what is death, all dreadful as it seems? Is it the pointed dagger or the rack, The madd'ning sharpness of excessive pain? These are alone the instruments of death, And not the actual ceasing to exist. Death is the end of misery and woe, And not the dire prolonger of our cares, The kind prescription nature has in store To put a final period to her ills, And not a means to aggravate the load. Oh, that some hand benificent could draw Th' obnoxious veil which intercepts the sight, Which clouds the view where being makes a pause, And casts a midnight o'er the struggling soul! Then apprehension might shake off her fears, And bid existence languish to be o'er; The virgin cheek would triumph in its pale, And think reluctant on its rosy bloom; Pride would expel the haughty from her crest, And spring to lay her forehead in the dust. But O! wrapt up in time's most winding maze, The future state appointed for the soul Eludes the strictest efforts of our search, And leaves the glimmer of short-sighted sense: Behold a cloud of diffidence and fear, Thy lamp, bright faith, thou sister of the morn, Celestial daughter of almighty love, Alone can trace th' inextricable wilds, And pour the sun of gladness on the breast: Thy beam, all-cheering can dispel the gloom Which sick'ning nature spreads upon her brow, Raise the dejected movements of the mind To peace, to comfort, happiness and joy; Lift up the spirit of decaying hope To meet the skies, and strike against the stars; Come then, immortal virgin, and direct Each opening impulse of the embryo thought; Come then, and pour the salutary balm Of warm religion on the votary's soul, With honest hope classically inspir'd; Point out where'er thy sister mercy sits, In the bright presence of the living God; And grateful smiles ineffably divine, To hear a Saviour graciously forgive, And point the soul to that extreme of bliss, To purchase which he parted with his blood!
KINGSTON, [Jamaica,] May 1.
On the 6th of December was wrecked on the northern Triangles; a Spanish register ship named the Thetis, commanded by Don Diego Britto, mounting 26 twelve pounders, bound from Rio Dulce to the Havannah, on board of which was 100,999 l. registered money, and private property to very great amount, particularly 2780 terons of indigo, a great quantity of specie & wrought plate. The registered money was saved by James Farrell, Esq; of Honduras, and transmitted to the Governor of Baccala. The private property was in general plundered or concealed by settlers at the Bay. There were 116 people belonging to her, that were taken off the keys, after being sixty four days thereon. Mr. Farrel is now here to solicit assistance from Sir George Bridges Rodney, in behalf of the unhappy sufferers.
NEW-YORK, July 19.
On Sunday last failed from Elizabeth-Town, the New-Jersey & Mississippi Packet Brig, Capt. Thomas Davison, with whom
went upwards of 70 passengers, bound to the Mississippi, where they intend to settle, at, or near the place called the Naches, a country so agreeable in its situation, appearance and fertility, that inhabitants from all quarters are continually flocking to it, and in all probability the lands there will shortly be fully settled, and a colony be formed and established.
Twenty nine boats from the back parts of Philadelphia, and the neighbouring colonies lately arrived there down the river full of people to settle at that place.
It is said, that George Etherington, Esq; is appointed Lieut. Colonel to the second battalion of the Royal American Regiment, from which succession it is presumed that a very respectable veteran Capt. Gawin Cochran, is promoted to the Majority of that corps.
PHILADELPHIA, July 14.
Saturday last arrived here, Capt. Wallace, in 6 weeks from Cadiz, who informs, that there is great prospect of a very plentiful harvest throughout Spain and Portugal.

Last Friday Capt. Hatch arrived at Boston, in 7 Weeks from London, by whom we have the following Advices, viz.
L O N D O N, May 23.
ORDERS are giving for three ships of the line and two frigates to be got ready immediately to join Commodore Hood on the American station.
May 25. A correspondent informs us, that Sir Francis Bernard's great hospitality, together with his generous and charitable spirit, has rendered him so popular at Aylesbury, that it is expected he will be elected Representative for that Borough without expence or opposition.
May 27. On Tuesday last Richard Reeve, Esq; Secretary to the Honorable the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs at Boston (lately arrived) was, by Mr. Cooper of the Treasury, introduced to the Right Hon. Lord North at the Levee, Whitehall, and was very respectfully received by his Lordship.
Major Rogers, it is said, is appointed Deputy Governor of the Grenada Islands.
The sword presented to Lord Clive by the East-India Company, as a mark of their approbation of his services, cost a 1000 guineas.
May 28. Lord North, we hear, declared on Monday last, that he had now convincing proofs that England will not have occasion to arm for war for one year at least.
Last Tuesday night, died at his house at Putney Common, General Hudson, in the 33d year of his age.
Such great quantities of Spanish Dollars have been lately received in London, that the price is reduced from 5s. 5d. to 5s. 2d. half-penny per ounce, which is lower than they have been sold at for many years past.
There is now in the House of Commons one barber, three footmen, three common soldiers, and eleven clerks, who obtained seats in that honorable Assembly through the channel of the E. Indies.
May 29. Thursday an express arrived at the French Ambassador's, and immediately his Excellency set out for St. James's, when he had a private conference with his Majesty, which lasted above half an hour; afterwards there was a Council. The result of all this has been transpired; for already it is said, that the dispatches confirmed the pacific intentions of his most Christian Majesty, to the no small joy of our timorous Ministry, and disappointment of the brave officers of the navy, who came from all parts of England on the first alarm to attend the service of their country.
It is very true that the Court of Versailles seems in earnest in its late peaceable Declaration to the Court of Great-Britain; but it is equally true, that the Court of Madrid continues in every department of war, to augment its forces. Hence it is clear that we ought to be on our guard, lest we should be lulled into security by French professions till some important blow is struck on the side of Spain against us, which may cost us a few millions of British money, and a no inconsiderable portion of British blood to repair and revenge.
Lord North has declared very positively his resolution of resigning the Premiership, but will keep all his other appointments if permitted. He says he is tired of the exalted character of First Minister, he will play that part no longer. That the managers have used him ill often, but on a late occasion so palpably, that was he to continue longer in that mock station, he must be the ludibrium of fools and the scorn of knaves.
May 30. On Saturday evening her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester was safely delivered of a Princess at Gloucester house. The event was immediately notified to the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, and all the great officers of state; and a messenger was dispatched to Kew to acquaint their Majesties therewith.
June 2. Letters by the ships just arrived from China bring a deplorable account of the effects of a most violent hurricane (or tiffoon, as the Chinese call it) that happened upon the river of Canton, in the month of July last, and continued for 12 hours without intermission. The river opposite to the city of Canton is wider than the Thames at Greenwich, and is so filled for three miles in length, that there is scarcely room for one of our Indian's barges to row. In these boats which have a covering, thousands of Chinese live with their wives and children, and, having no habitations on the land, seldom or never go on shore, but employ themselves in fishing and other avocations peculiar to that people. This dreadful hurricane overset and sunk all the boats, and almost the whole of their inhabitants were drowned. It is impossible to guess, with the least degree of precision, at the numbers that perished; not less, it is supposed there, than thirty or forty thousand. Every Chinese junk, a vessel nearly as large as our ships, was also driven ashore and lost. Our Indians lie about 14 miles from Canton, at a place called Wampoa. The London, Captain Webb, and a Dutch East-Indian, were the only European ships there. The London, by the expertness of her officers and seamen, weathered it; but the Dutchman was blown from her anchors and sunk, and all the crew perished. The horror of the scene is not to be conceived, much less described in words. The screams and cries of so many thousands perishing was more shocking than the roaring of the tempest.
The report that upwards of thirty thousand people had been lost in the river Canton in China, in a hurricane in July last, may seem extravagantly great; but when it is considered that the fishermen on that river, and all others that carry manure for the culture of rice, live with their families at all times in their boats, it may not appear so enormous. China is said to contain fifty-eight millions of people, between the ages of 16 and 60.
June 3. On Sunday evening a council was held at Lord Mansfield's where the great officers of state attended; when a treaty, which has been long under consideration, was concluded upon between this Court and Russia, in consequence of which the fleet now at Spithead will soon sail for the Mediterranean, and are to take possession of the island of Candia in the Archipelago.
On the day that the regulation bill receives the royal Assent, the East-India Company is virtually dissolved.
A correspondent asks, can the Minister possibly think that all the great corporate bodies of the kingdom are so destitute of common sense as not to perceive that the regulation bill would, if passed, be a precedent for destroying the charters of them all? Or can he imagine, that they are so void of all virtue as not to oppose him? It must be evident to every man's understanding, that if the parliament should pass this bill, and deprive the company of their chartered rights, there would be an end of all parliamentary faith, and all public credit, our public funds would not be worth a farthing. It is therefore not only the interest of all our great corporate bodies to unite immediately in opposing the passing of this arbitrary, tyrannical, and unconstitutional bill, but also of all individual persons who possess any property in the funds; for this bill, if passed, would doubtless in its consequences annihilate the rights and properties of them all.
June 4. Mr. Wilkes received the following on Saturday last:
RAN-AWAY from the Ship Exeter Galley, a Sailor, named John Morgan, pretty tall, well built, about 30 Years of Age,
(COPY) A common council held in the chamber of the Guildhall of the city of London, on Friday the 28th of May 1773.
This court doth unanimously desire such Members of Parliament as are Members of this court to oppose the bill now depending in parliament respecting the East-India Company.
HODGES. At eight o'clock the house was left sitting in a committee of the whole house on the East-India regulation bill.
The committee of the House of Commons on the East-India affairs is deferred till Tuesday.
The committees on the bill to encourage the fishery in the gulph of St. Lawrence on the coast of Labrador, and the duty on tonnage, and the bill for importing Salt to Quebec from Europe, are severally deferred.
Orders are given from the War-Office for inspecting all the Forts and Castles on the Coasts of Cornwall, Sussex and Kent.
Orders were on Monday sent down to Plymouth for the Eagle Sloop of War to sail immediately to her Station off Quiberon Bay.
When the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of London, waited upon the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester concerning their Marriage; the Duke and Duchess were examined upon Oath. It was expected this Matter would have been taken up on Wednesday in the House of Commons; but this Parliament will follow only the Directions of the Chief. However, the City of London, it is not doubted, will take this Matter up, and by a seasonable and proper Address to the King, discover and lay open to the World his Sentiments on this Occasion, which may one Day prove of the utmost Importance to this Country.
A Report prevails, that the Dutch have actually refused the Withdrawing any Part of their Naval Force from the East-Indies, which the English Memorial lately delivered them insists on.
Orders are given for three Men of War of the Line to be got ready immediately. Their Station, we hear, is to be off Rhode-Island in America.
An Evening Paper says, when the truly detestable Bill is passed, Lord North is to go out. He is to be made a Dowager, like the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Jenkinson, (Lord Bute's and Lord Mansfield's Confident) is to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Gower First Lord of the Treasury. Mr. Cornwall a Lord of the Treasury. Lord North, Lord President. Lord Sandwich, Lord Privy Seal. And the Duke of Grafton, First Lord of the Admiralty; with the virtuous Mr. T. Bradshaw for his private Secretary.
Vienna, (Germany) May 25. The freshest Advices from Constantinople say, that they intend to push on the War with the utmost vigour against the Russians; that several Couriers had been dispatched with 160 Orders from the Sultan, to the Bashaws of the European and Asiatic Provinces to send immediately a Number of Troops to the Army; that also the Russians have a considerable Fleet in the Black Sea, yet they were in no Fear of any Enterprise against the Capital from that Side; that there were already six Turkish Men of War off the Dardanelles, which are to be joined by a Number of others, to attack the Russian Fleet.
Warsaw, (Poland) May 12. They write from Moldavia, that the Russian General Potemkin having passed the Danube, had defeated the Seraskier, with a Loss of 7000 Turks. The Advices add, that the grand Vizier had thereupon demanded an Armistice of 15 Days, which the General Field Marshal had refused to grant; but that at last, on repeated Instances, the latter consented to a suspension of 14 Hours, out of regard to the Vizier's Person.
L O N D O N June 5.
Read the first Time a Bill for granting unto his Majesty 1,400,000l. for the Purpose of relieving the East-India Company. Passed the American Paper Currency Bill.
Extract of a Letter from Malaga, April 23.
"On Easter Monday the 12th Current, at a Quarter past five in the Morning, we had a smart Shock of an Earthquake here. It was felt at Madrid and many other Places of the Kingdom much about the same Time, without any material Damage; but by Accounts since received, it appears to have been much more severely felt at Gibraltar, where a great Part of the Rock of that Fortress fell into the Sea, and some of the Spanish Towns in that Neighbourhood were affected by it, but happily no Lives were lost. On the African Coast, opposite Gibraltar, great Damage has been sustained, and the City of Tangier, in particular, is said to be almost totally ruined.
This Day the House of Commons will meet, pursuant to their Adjournment on Thursday last.
It is said that the Budget will be opened in the House of Commons on Wednesday or Friday next.
It is now strongly reported that the Parliament will rise on Thursday Three Weeks.
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth May 30.
"This Town is all alive on the Certainty of their Majesties coming to see the Fleet, where many Officers of the Navy and others are arriving every Day. They have now a Certainty of a great Naval Promotion, and six Admirals are to be made, and six Post Captains, six Masters and Commanders, and Twelve Lieutenants. An Addition given to the Subaltern Officers in the Fleet. The first princely Visit the Fleet ever had in this Reign."
The greatest Preparations are making at Portsmouth, and in the Fleet to receive their Majesties, Numbers of Officers arriving in Expectation of the great Promotion to be made by his Majesty under the royal Standard.
Every foreign Minister at this Court is preparing for a Journey in Order to be at the Naval Review, which, we hear, will be on Thursday or Friday, the ensuing Week.
Whitehall, June 5. The King has been pleased to appoint William Campbell, Esq; (Commonly called Lord William Campbell) to be Captain-General and Governor in chief of his Majesty's Province of South-Carolina in America, in the Room of Lord Charles Greville Montague.
The King has been also pleased to appoint Francis Legge, Esq; to be Captain-General and Governor in Chief of his Majesty's Province of Nova-Scotia in America, in the Room of Lord William Campbell.

To the PRINTER.
MY Motive for answering the Famous Insertion, in your Paper of Friday last, signed EBENEZER DEERING, is not, that I think, it merit Notice: Altho' his denying I have an Account with him, seems to carry with it, a peculiar Kind of Emphasis--- "And that I deny"--- But because I would not gratify his Impertinence in "desiring me to be silent"--- I believe a neat cut Figure of the Human Species, or a well built Boat, would be view'd with more Satisfaction by the Public, than the insipid Scrolls of two Mechanicks. When any Thing, the genuine Production of his own consummate Wisdom, deserving an Answer, shall make its Appearance, I shall know how to proceed; and tho' a Goose Quill, in the Hand of so able a PEN-MAN, has intimidated Persons of more Courage and Fortitude than myself, yet as I know my Cause is just, I will not refuse to fight this GOLIAH of Portsmouth.
WILLIAM BLUNT.
You've deny'd my Account, Sir, yet pay it you will, You behave like a Goose, and are fond of the Quill, So let what you Exhibit in your Viperous Strain, Be the genuine Produce of your own fruitful Brain. We'll soon shew the World, we are out of our Sphere, To leave Working for Writing without Sense or Fear; By the Time we have done, altho' now we are Houts, Shall appear to the World, like the Bear in a Boat, When you make Reparation for Injuries done, Then, and never before, will you silence my Tongue.

We hear from Bristol, in the Eastern Parts of this Province, That on the 7th of June Past, the Meeting-House at that Place was destroyed by a Number of Men headed by one Eben. Nickles.
T R U R O, [Cape Cod] July 21, This morning, from about 3 o'clock to 7, we had abundance of rain, with the most terrible thunder and lightning, it is impossible to ascertain the particular flash which did the execution, but the lightning struck the Meeting-House in this place, and has rendered it a melancholy prospect. It is supposed the lightning striking an iron ball at the top of the spire, might be the cause (under providence) of the striking event. The lightning forced in one side of the turret, then passed through the roof in several places into the house, from whence, as appears by observation in their various directions broke the windows and sides of the house. Thirteen lengths of fence adjoining to the meeting-house, are damaged by the lightning (as supposed) in a greater or less degree, every rail is affected but not one post hurt. Great and marvellous, art thou of thyself Lord God Almighty."

Letters from Paris mention, that they had received there a confirmation that the Empress of Russia had caused it to be declared to the King of Sweden, that she had it at heart to continue a perfect understanding between the two Courts; and that the reports of an approaching misunderstanding between them must have taken their rise from some Powers interested in fomenting divisions between them, as it was the farthest from her desire to break the bonds of amity and blood which united Russia and Sweden.
They write from Paris, that that Court hath concluded a three years subsidy with the Court of Denmark & Republic of Genoa. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, May 15.

Berlin, May 3. His Prussian Majesty seems resolved to put his new acquisitions in the best state of defence that is possible.
