WHAT IS THE PROSPECT?
PEACE OR WAR? ... HOW AND WHERE?
There is no prospect of a speedy and general peace in Europe—What is wanting of temptation to ambition—is made up by folly, ignorance, imbecility, and even by despair.
The new cabinet of England, actuated by folly as extravagant as the old, has declared war against Prussia.
It is out of the power of the Austrian house (the will and the power are very different things in politics and war)—to do any thing but connive—and where she can connive without imminent danger she will wink at the aid that may be given to the enemies of France; a different course is not to be expected from the imbecile race that occupies that house; the consciousness of wrong and the frustration of the efforts made to maintain that wrong, are always with weak minds—stronger incentives to persist in the error.—Bonaparte did not attempt the conquest of Egypt in Egypt, after he had been defeated and frustrated by Sir Sidney Smith in Syria. But the Austrian monarch, with the increasing accumulation of warnings and misfortunes in two coalitions, the destruction of three armies in the first and of seven in the second—had the folly to concur in a new scheme of partition and invasion of France. Every allowance is made in this estimate for the operation of gold, pride, and female intrigue upon weak minds—it is only upon weak minds they can operate.
The Austrians will connive at the aid given to the Russians—tho' the surrender of Cattaro to a Russian force was evidently not an act of the Austrian government; the English emissaries and sycophants represented France as having violated the treaty of Presburg—fools or worse—and such only could have attempted to give such a coloring to the fact.—We care as little about Bonaparte as we care about Francis—but truth is truth, and it is a miserable species of folly which can labor to persuade itself that all the world are such fools as not to be able to discriminate between a palpable fact and a premeditated falsehood. Yet we have seen the attempt made to persuade the public after the facts had long passed over, and the seal of destiny and fate, as it were, had been fixed upon them—to persuade the public, that the re-occupation of Brennan on the Inn, was a breach of treaty, altho' the act was but the necessary effect of a most flagrant violation of that treaty by an Austrian general. The arrest of that general is sufficient proof of the obedience of Austria to France and her inability to make war. We have touched this, in this way, to lead to the enquiry where and what consequence is Cattaro ? Because the explanation of these points will show in a degree the obvious views and the probable course of the war—which is renewed—and which will take a new course such as may not at first sight be apprehended.
Cattaro is the name of a small river, a spacious bay, a small town, and a strong naval and military position and fortress, near the extremity of that part of Dalmatia which formerly appertained to Venice, which was ceded to Austria by the peace of Leoben, and to France by the treaty of Presburg—the fortress is called Castel Nuovo—It is 40 miles S. E. of Ragusa; 120 nearly west of Scutari in Albania; 240 S. W. of Belgrade, the capital of Tarkish Servia; and not quite 460, rather north of west, from Constantinople; 180 north of Corfu; and nearly opposite Manfredonia on the coast of Italy. This place is near the extreme point of the ancient Venetian Dalmatia, was very strongly fortified, and is in relation to the apparent prospects of the course of war of very considerable importance.
The surrender of it by the Austrian general Brady , was not an authorized act of the Austrian government, but it was an unfortunate occurrence for that most unfortunate house; and should the Russians persist in retaining it, the consequence may be the most fatal to France.
The prompt occupation of this position by the Russians, shews that each of the powers understood the designs or political interests of the other; Russia obviously foresaw in the treaty of Presburg, the attack upon its policy and its views on Turkey; to prevent the occupation of a position by the French favorable for the reception and the protection of naval armaments, and as a military depot, was a bold stroke of the Russians, however prejudicial or fatal for Austria. The march of two armies of French in that direction plainly proves that the French policy was directed as the Russians had anticipated; but the war must now necessarily follow in that direction. The issues of that war, are in the womb of time—but, it is not out of the scope of probabilities, that the ancient Macedonia and insular Greece, may be colonized, if not rendered independent. The chief who governs the destinies of France and Europe, has combined with
the splendor of triumph and popular enthusiasm, the enthusiasm which he finds attached to every country and habit, and he will not be less backward in inflaming the classic enthusiasm of ancient Greece on its classic soil, than he was in employing on the sands of Syria, the zeal of the Mamelukes; and at Rome the piety of the complacent conclave. If Austria is faithful to France, all Croatia, Servia and Bosnia, and that part of Wallachia along the banks of the Aluta to its confluence with the Danube at Nicopolis, may be hers: if she should prove faithless, the theatre of action furnishes for the modern Alexander a precedent for his imitation—the Neys and Marmonts may be provided with provinces on the theatre of Macedonian glory, as the Bernadottes and Murats have been invested with principalities on the right side of the Rhine—and the Berthiers in Switzerland.
A war in this part of Europe would be conducted under circumstances very different from the course which must have been pursued prior to the French revolution. Before that epoch, France could not carry on a war in that quarter without a naval force, and numerous transports to convey troops and stores. The pacific policy of Venice, would have precluded the passage of forces, or the occupation of naval or military positions so near Constantinople. The favors conferred by Bonaparte on the kings of Wirttemberg, and Bavaria, and the arrangement of the Italian kingdom on the sister shores of Adria, have not only provided a free passage which supercedes naval equipment, but provides magazines on the march.
This is a new state of things—Bonaparte said that the nineteenth century would be unlike any thing that preceded it. It is already unlike all that preceded it—and the dissimilarity is growing apace! It may be presumed without danger of mistake, that what is yet to happen will be more extraordinary than what has already astonished mankind.
But though the transactions in this section of Europe are of importance sufficient to engage the attention of the curious observer; they form but a part of a system which embraces the two extremes of Europe; the renewed war involves the navigation of the Baltic and the Mediterranean.
THERE WILL BE NO PEACE FOR A LONG TIME TO COME IN EUROPE.
Because this war in the extremes of Europe, though pernicious to England in one shape is favorable in another, her commerce will be affected if Bonaparte succeeds either in the Baltic or the Mediterranean. Her existence will be in jeopardy if he succeeds in both. But if the resistance continues on the part of Russia, and is conducted with skill and vigor—the existence of England as an independent nation is protracted; and the most diseased and worn down nations, like individuals, cling with the greatest avidity and the keenest hope to life; none are more confident than those whose systems are undermined, tottering and decayed; so it is with England; and it will be her policy and her inevitable course, under such circumstances, to protract the war on the extremes of Europe; to keep the evil remote from her own shores; while other nations are at war, to push her commerce through a thousand channels, and to find a mart in the very camps of her enemies, as well as of her allies.

From the Chronicle.
The Political Listener....No. 1.
Bloody work! twenty six general officers sacrificed on the altar of chagrined, by the hand of royal revenge in the Austrian empire. Justice to human sensibility, and a regard to the opinion of the world, demand the form of a charge, and the ceremony of a trial; but the feudal governments can never admit the claims of justice in the behalf of man as man; that system is estranged to the rights and characters of men as men, and knows no rights but what result from the political relations of sovereigns and slaves, of lords and vassals, of landlords and tenants. To allow an inquiry into the failure of battles, would be to open a door for proof, that nations oppressed with slavery do not fight a foreign enemy, because they have nothing to fight for. Each jewel added to the diadem of monarchy is but the head of a nail, by which the shackles of slavery are rivetted on the ankles of the subjects. The troops refused to meet their enemy and it became necessary to shoot the generals, that the truth might not be told. But the truth will be told; it can no longer be suppressed: man claims his inheritance as man, and the world will be free. The arguments used by federalists , that man cannot be free because free governments have not been heretofore supported, are in themselves fallacious and absurd. Six thousand years the American continent was the wild abode of savages, but it did not follow that civilization could not improve the soil.
The argument has been used to no effect in England. We take a description of England from Judge Blackstone, vol. 2, page 76, where he is speaking of the alteration made in that country, in what he calls the 12th year of Charles the second, but which was the first of his actual reign; and which alteration was produced, not so much by the will of Charles, but by the turn of public political opinion, consequent on the decollation of his father; and the government of Oliver Cromwell. Blackstone says, "A slavery so complicated, and so extensive as this, called aloud for a remedy in a nation that boasted of its freedom. Palliatives were from time to time applied by successive acts of parliament which assuaged some temporary grievances." That learned judge goes on, as any one who reads may see, to describe the process of abolishing slavery
in England in the reign of Charles the second until the plan is completed, as he affects to believe, in 1660. But read him attentively, and what has been done? the inordinate prerogative of the crown, is in some measure checked by the habeas corpus act ; the star chamber oppression taken away by the trial of jury; the tenants are no longer the property of their landlords; but the rents are so exorbitant, that he who tills the soil obtains no more than a miserable subsistence; the measure of his remuneration for labor of the one day, has no standard but the quantum that will keep him alive and able to labor on the next. Hence families go through excessive toil and labor, year in and year out; in Scotland feeding on oatmeal and water, in Ireland on sour milk and potatoes; and the mere refuse of aliments on the farms in other parts of the empire of England.
In Russia there are forty five millions of people; forty one millions of whom are chained to the soil like slaves to the oar. The four millions who are nobles and priests, with slaves who have purchased their freedom by commerce; the forty one millions are sold like cattle, or leased with the soil. It was not a crime for the nobles or priests to slay them, until the reign of the late empress who annexed a small fine to the murder of a slave.
The same system of government prevails all over Germany; but learning has obtained more patrons, and the human intellect has been more cultivated there. Yet man as man is miserably degraded, and grievously oppressed. What then should he fight for? Shall he fight to entail poverty and distress on his heirs? The nobles can have no other interest in his existence, than they have in his slavery. The prince knows no distinction in his feelings towards his subjects, and those he possesses towards his cattle; the support they give to his glory and his luxury, forms his only connection with them. Where their death or captivity, pains or sufferings, tend to maintain these, their lives, freedom, or comforts, are to be disposed of. Why has this not been told before? Why has it hushed in silence in England, from the Norman conquest, for the space of eight hundred years?—because the public had no ear to hear it. The beheading of Charles the first in England, and the final extirpation of the Stewart family, established the freedom of inquiry in Great Britain. The destruction of the Capet family in France, has a similar effect on the continent, and the public eye can no longer be shut to human calamity, or the public ear be deaf to the groans of oppression.
It was wise in the emperor and princes of Austria, on the scale of what men call worldly wisdom, to deny their generals an open trial. There it would have appeared that one countenance of discontent covered the visage of the army and country like a mask. That a glimpse of human privilege had burst from the morning of the French revolution. The divine right of monarchy existed no longer. The keys of knowledge were no longer possessed by a profligate and vicious clergy. That the christian religion was no longer a political institution, or a state policy, but a matter between each individual and his God. That he who made heaven, alone held the key of it. In short, that the slave is a man, and the monarch is no more: that they are mutually dependent on each other—and each alike, in his sphere, entitled to security, property, and happiness. These truths are too solemn and too important for Austria, at the present moment.
BY THE MAILS.
NEW ORLEANS, March 15.
The United States' armed brig Franklin , John Earle, esq. commander, with troops on board for this place is now in the river. Came passengers in the Franklin , capt. Shaw of the navy, Keith Spence, esq. navy agent, lieut. Baldwin, and several other persons—they are expected to come up to day in the Revenue Cutter, Louisiana .
MARCH 19.
It appears from some recent letters from Mobile, that since the arrival there of the intendant (Morales,) they are doing their utmost to prejudice the minds of the people against the Americans. It is reported that they are not even content with this, but that governor Folk had conferences with different Indian chiefs. The object of these conferences are not particularly stated; but it is supposed that they are endeavouring to persuade the Indians to commit outrages on our frontiers—It is further reported, that sixty horse loads of gun powder have been carried out of the town of Mobile by the Indians. Such is the line of conduct this jealous and insatiable people pursue.—What they cannot accomplish by fair and upright means, they make up by the most bale subterfuge.
Letters from the Mobile to the 9th, contain some further information relative to the hostile disposition of the Spaniards. It is said they have received a considerable reinforcement (probably from Pensylvania) of men, mortars, bombs, and guns.
The present state of things in that quarter, cannot long continue. If no other means will answer, governor Folk and the
king his master, will be made to observe towards the United States a just and respectful conduct.
It is stated in letters, that a very influential and commercial house at Mobile, has volunteered its aid, and will grant every indulgence that may be asked by the Indians, in furnishing them with supplies.
Arrived at this port last evening, the United States' armed brig Franklin —her arrival was announced by a federal salute from Fort St. Charles, which was returned from the brig.

HORRID MURDER!
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Hawkins, to his friend in this town, dated April 19, 1806.
"There was on Thursday night, 8th instant, one of the most horrid murders committed in the upper end of this county, ever heard of. Michael Doherty, was murdered by his daughter, about 13 or 14 years of age, with three strokes with an axe; the old man was asleep, with one of his little children in his arms; the first stroke was in his temple, he turned and the girl gave two more in his forehead which put an end to his existence. The girl, her brother 10 or 11 years old, and sister 8 or 9 years old, rolled the old man on a hand barrow, to carry him off; the oldest girl took one end, her brother and little sister the other, but the little girl was unable to carry her part, and her sister (the murderess) whipped her severely to make her carry it, but could not. She then opened the cellar (or potatoe hole) and rolled him in, where he lay until Saturday, when he was found; the three children and two smaller ones slept there every night. When the girl was apprehended she said she had killed her father, and had done so because her father had killed her mother. Since her being committed she has not killed her father, but that it was her brother; says she was scared, and confessed she had killed him to save her own life, for she was afraid the men who took her would hang her: the brother and sister say she killed him, and flung him in the cellar, where he was found; the girl intended on Saturday night to have cut him in pieces, so as to enable her to carry him off. The old man drank hard, and when drunk was very cross in his family; but that used to tell him of killing her mother, and he frequently whipped his daughter; that on the Sunday before the murder was committed, she got an axe to kill her father, and put it under the bed where he lay, by which it appears she was determined to commit the murder on Sunday night, but did not until Tuesday night: then intending to have cut him in pieces, and to have removed him. This (in a girl of her age) is astonishing!"
MEADVILLE, (PENN.) MAY 15.
FIRE—On the night of the 6th inst. the mill of Mr. Jacob Hunnell, in Salem township, Mercer county, was entirely consumed by fire, together with upwards of two hundred bushels of grain, &c. What renders this catastrophe the more distressing to Mr. Hunnell, is the death of two of his children, the one about 14 and the other 11 years of age, who perished in the flames.
NEW-YORK, May 30.
Captain Holmes, of the ship Eunice from Surinam, informs, that on the 10th inst. in the lat. of 18, long. 61, he was boarded by 3 French 74 gun ships, and 2 frigates full of men; they were under British colours, and said they were left from Barbadoes.—After robbing capt. Holmes of a great quantity of small stores they had the condescension to permit him to depart.
JUNE 2.
Capt. Rea, from the isle of France, informs, that there were thirteen British ships of the line lying at St. Jago. He also informs, that the latter end of March, the British ship London , and a frigate engaged the ship Marengo , admiral Linois and the frigate Bellepool ; and, after an engagement of three hours, took them. Sir J. B. Warren, with seven sail of the line then in sight. The captured vessels we carried to St. Jago, and put in commission. It was said the French ships had on board property of immense value.
The awful sentence of death was on Saturday passed upon John Banks for the murder of his wife. Though delivered in that solemn and impressive manner for which the hon. Judge Tompkins is remarkable, & tho' it was a powerful appeal to the best feelings of the heart, the prisoner remained unmoved. He exhibited a shocking instance of human depravity; enquired of the court if he could not be hanged the week following; and shouted as in a delirium of joy. The day of execution is fixed for Friday the 11th of July.
SPRINGFIELD, JUNE 3.
Although the Spring has been cold even without a precedent in our recollection, the fields of English grain, in this part of the country, wore a flattering aspect, until the 23d ult. when a frost uncommonly severe, (preceded and followed by drought) so effectually injured them, that some of our judicious farmers are ploughing in their rye and wheat, with the hope of securing an Indian corn crop, or some other for the season.
BOSTON, JUNE 4.

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1806.
We are under the necessity of informing our readers that we have not heard a word from Hopkinton, since the Legislature of New-Hampshire have been in session; neither are we able to inform them who is Governor of Massachusetts.—Our next Gazette, we are in hopes will satisfy enquirers.
A London paper of the 10th of April contains the following paragraph on the subject of neutral rights:
"Whatever real grievances America has to urge against us, will, we are persuaded, be redressed and atoned. There are points however, on which we cannot flatter her with much hopes of success. She cannot expect that the English government will so far concede to the clamors of her merchants, as to sacrifice the principles of our navigation laws to their pretensions of what they call "neutral rights."
MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
A letter from a respectable merchant at Curracoa, to a gentleman in this town, dated May 6, 1806, says—"Miranda's scheme of making a revolution on the Spanish Main, is entirely frustrated; and he only escaped by the superior sailing of his ship.—Two of his tenders, laden with all kinds of ammunition, and 60 men of his troops have fallen into the hands of the Spaniards;—he himself fought for a quarter of an hour, with a Spanish armed brig near Porto Cavello; but was obliged to cut his cables, and run.—After touching at Jacquemel, to solicit assistance from the blacks, which he could not get, he came to Aruba ten days ago, gave 1000 dls. for a pilot, and went from thence to Boneire, where he remained two days to prepare himself for action, and proceeded farther to the Spanish coast, in company with two schooners. He fell in with two Spanish armed brigs near Laguira, who engaged him, and captured the two tenders. Every individual there is under arms, and well prepared to receive him. He fought without colors. This information was received by our Government here; and it is since confirmed from every part of the Spanish Main."
Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated May 11.
"There are five Americans here under adjudication, all detained by Capt. Whitby, of the Leander , who swears he will have them all libelled, as well as all he takes. And as he is going to sea again on Monday, to cruise as I understand off the Hook, the probability is he will capture many more. His conduct is truly astonishing, and his treatment to American captains in every instance is abusive. He is void of all shame; is universally detested here; and it is expected will be ordered home immediately, on his recent conduct being represented to his government, and probably be deprived of his commission. It is thought he will distress and abuse every American he meets with on his next cruise, which we may suppose (and which we fervently hope) will be his last."
Massachusetts Legislature.
SATURDAY, May 31.
The House filled up the committee for examining the returns of votes for Governor, &c. The Committee consists of the Hon. Messrs. Titcomb, Hill and Dana, Messrs. Story, Codman, Bacon of W. and Danforth of P. Two of which are federalists.
WEDNESDAY, June 4.
Several petitions were read and committed in the House. A message was received from the Senate, requesting the House to send no further papers to that board, as they should proceed no further on business until the Government was completely organized, except such as might relate to that object.
THURSDAY, June 5.
In the forenoon the chairman of the joint committee appointed to examine the votes for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, made a report—of which the following is an abstract.
  Whole number of votes returned for Governor, 75217.   do. do. for Lieut. Gov. 73519.   But that on account of certain informality &c. in some of the returns, they had made certain deductions from the whole number, leaving for Governor 73410   Necessary to a choice 36706   and no candidate had that number, and therefore there was no choice.   They further reported that the four highest candidates were   CALEB STRONG—36692.   JAMES SULLIVAN—36231.   JAMES SULLIVAN—357.   WILLIAM HEATH—85.   Votes for Lieut. Governor—71887.   Necessary to a choice—35904.   Of which Wm. Heath had—36880 and is chosen.   This report will doubtless be accepted, and it being determined there is no choice by the people, Mr. Sullivan will be chosen by the Legislature.

American Independence.
THE Republican Citizens of this and the adjacent towns, who are desirous of celebrating the Anniversary of American Independence at Jefferson-Hall, on the fourth day of July next, are respectfully informed that a subscription for that purpose is open, at Mr. E. Wentworth's store, where any person willing to join in the above celebration, may have an opportunity of subscribing thereto.
The ship owners of London, have, at a general meeting, determined to petition Parliament, against the bill to allow the Governors of the British West-India islands to suspend the navigation act in favour of American vessels trading at the islands.
British Humanity. —In a late debate in the British House of Lords on the subject of intercourse between America and the West-Indies, Lord Holland, by way of showing the impolicy of any restrictions upon our trade with those Islands, observed, that "He trusted Parliament would never again try the experiment which was productive of so much misery to the West-India Colonies in the period from 1783, to 1786, when their supply from America was cut off, and in consequence of which, in Jamaica alone fifteen thousand negroes died from the famine which that regulation produced!"
If fifteen thousand were starved to death in one island, how many must have died with hunger in the whole of the British islands? And what a dreadful degree of misery must have been endured by those who survived? Yet these restrictions, tho' occasionally relaxed are still generally continued in force, by a government too, which many degenerate Americans hold up to us as a model of humanity, honor and justice!
We learn that nearly 10,000 panes of glass were broken in Hadley, by a hail storm on Sunday last. The hail stones were large, and the wind strong. Grain must have suffered much.
Boston paper. It is worthy of observation that on Thursday last at 2 o'clock the Thermometer stood at 86 degrees in the shade. And to sudden was the change in the weather, owing to a shift of wind from S. W. to N. E. that at half past two it fell 20 degrees—and at sunset it had fallen 36 degrees.
COMMUNICATION.
At the last term of the Superior Court in the county of Grafton, two bills of indictment were found against Josiah Burnham; one for the murder of JOSEPH STARKWEATHER, JR. and the other for the murder of RUSSEL FREEMAN, Esq.—On Monday the 2d instant he was brought to trial on the first indictment. The Attorney General discharged the painful duties of his office with fidelity and ability, and the counsel for the prisoner managed his defence with great ingenuity. The evidence was too clear and explicit to admit of doubts.—The jury retired and after a short consultation agreed that the prisoner was guilty. The Chief Justice on Tuesday morning in a solemn and impressive manner pronounced against the prisoner the awful sentence of the law, in which he stated the aggravations of his offence, the candid and impartial trial which had been granted him and the clearness of the proof against him, and after recommending to him sincere repentance for his sins and a firm reliance on his Saviour for mercy, condemned him to death. The prisoner appeared affected with the consciousness of his offence and regretted that he had not prevented the trouble and expense of a public trial by pleading guilty. Tuesday the 15th day of July next is the time appointed for his execution.
An Oration will be delivered in this town on the fourth of July next, by Doctor JOSHUA BRACKETT.

Dr. Rees's new Cyclopaedia
JUST received from Philadelphia, at the Book-Store of C. PEIRCE, Daniel-street, Vol. I. part 1. of the NEW CYCLOPEDIA, Or Universal Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences.
To be completed in 20 volumes quarto—formed upon a more enlarged plan of arrangement, than the dictionary of Mr. CHAMBERS—Comprehending the various articles of that work, with additions and improvements, together with new subjects of Biography, and history, and adapted to the present improved state of Literature and science. By ABRAHAM REES, D. D. F. R. S. Editor of the late edition of Chamber's Dictionary—with the assistance of eminent professional gentlemen.
Illustrated with new plates, including maps, engraved for the work, by some of the most distinguished artists. The whole improved and adapted to this country by gentlemen of known abilities, by whose aid it will be rendered the most complete work of the kind that has yet appeared.
Nothing can better prove the high estimation in which this work is held in Great Britain, than the fact, that although the publishers of the English edition threw off in the first instance five thousand copies, the increasing celebrity of the book rendered that number inadequate to the demand, and the early volumes, have already been reprinted.
In undertaking the present edition, the American publisher was sensible that his chief aim should be to render it, at least, equal to the London copy, the general execution of which is allowed to be superior to every work of the kind. To this end have all his efforts been directed; and, although the specimen now offered to the public, will suffer nothing by a general comparison with the London copy, he still hopes to render the succeeding volumes superior, and thinks himself warranted in asserting (and he challenges investigation,) that the American edition far surpasses the English, in paper, printing and correctness.
Most of the engravings are allowed by complete judges, to be quite equal to the originals, and all superior to any before executed in this country.
In order to give the early patrons of this work a decided advantage over future purchasers, each half volume is furnished to them at the low price of three dollars. To all those who may subscribe after the 1st of November next, the price will be raised to three dollars and an half; and, after the fifth volume is published, none will be sold under four dollars. June 10.

BIOGRAPHY.
SIR William Jones was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature in Bengal, and an excellent poet, to whose translations we are indebted for many beautiful effusions of the Persian Muse. He died April 27, 1794, at the premature age of 48, endowed by nature with a mind of extraordinary vigour. Sir William, by an unwearied industry, aided by superior genius, successfully explored the hidden sources of Oriental science and literature; and his attainments in this interesting branch of learning were such as to make him, far beyond all competition, the most eminent Oriental scholar in this or perhaps in any other age. In his public character, the labour he afforded in the dispatch of business, the clearness of his discernment and his legal abilities well qualified him for one of the guardians of the laws and the rights of his fellow citizens. As a scholar, his name is known wherever literature is cultivated. In private life he was companionable, mild, gentle, and amiable in his manners, and his conversation rich and energetic. In fine, in all the relations of public and private life, he was revered and beloved. Unlike many other eminent literary characters of the age, Sir William was a sincere and pious Christian; instead of labouring, by his writings to propagate the doctrines of infidelity, as has been the favorite practice with some modern philosophers of reputation, he was desirous to lend the Scriptures his utmost support; and in one of his latest annual discourses to the Asiatic Society he has done more to give validity to the Mosaic history of the creation than the researches of any contemporary writer. The following epitaph, written by, and for himself, is equally admirable for its truth and its elegance:
"Here was deposited the mortal part of a man who feared God, but not Death and maintained independence, but sought not riches; who thought none below him but the base and unjust; none above him but the wise and virtuous; who loved his parents, kindred, friends, and country; and having devoted his life to their services and the improvement of his mind, resigned it calmly, giving glory to his Creator, with peace on earth, and good will to all his creatures, on the _____ day of in the year of our blessed Redeemer, _____"
PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL.
Captain BENJAMIN WICKES, son of Philadelphia, on his return from India, by London, received one thousand Guineas from the Baptist Missionary Society in England, for propagating the Gospel among the heathen. This sum is to be sent to the Missionaries in Bengal, for the purpose of printing a translation of the Sacred Scriptures into one of the languages of that country. Such progress has been made in translating, that it is presumed the sum above mentioned will be sufficient to complete editions in three languages. Thirteen Ministers of the Gospel, in Philadelphia, have publicly vouched for the fidelity of Captain Wickes, and recommend him as worthy the confidence of those who are disposed to favour and encourage this praiseworthy undertaking.
A letter on this important subject, having been transmitted to the Boston Association of Ministers, a Committee of that Society was appointed to consider the subject, who, after a careful inquiry, offered a report highly favourable to the encouragement of the plan: expressing their confidence in the fidelity and ability of those who were more immediately to carry it into execution. Subscriptions will be opened in Boston, and the monies raised for this purpose will be committed to the care of the Rev. Dr. Stillman, Rev. Dr. Eckley, Deacon Samuel Saltonstall, Henry Hill and Hon. John Davis, of Boston, and by Rev. Dr. Buckminster, of Portsmouth. These gentlemen will receive and transmit whatever money may be raised in the country for this object. The Editors of Papers in this State are requested to give publicity to the design, to promote the benevolent purpose herein expressed.
The Editor of a pithy little Paper, in Wilkshire (Luzerne) makes the following witty and humorous, and, at the same time, serious, appeal to his delinquent customers.
I HAVE been sadly troubled with an ugly old witch about my house for five years past. Like the frogs of Egypt, she has found her way into my bread-trough. Like the moth, she has eaten large holes in my breeches. And by her devilish machinations my shoes are worse worn by half than the shoes of the Gibeonites. She has broken my windows, torn down my fences (or prevented my building them) worn out my types, and brought about my ears an unfortunate set of men, who "would be very glad if I would pay them a little money." And however just, the old hag won't let me pay a cent of them. I have been endeavoring to get the hussy out of doors for a long time, but in vain. But now, thank fortune, I have found out a perfect method for exercising her ladyship out of my precincts,—that is—by filling an old stocking I have with dollars, and my granary with wheat.
As the next number of my paper completes the second year since I undertook the sole management of it; and as there will then be due the establishment more than 3000 Dollars, my friends I am persuaded will advance me what is due to assist me to rid myself of this vile old hag. Her name reader is Poverty,—and those who have been in habits of intimacy with her can bear witness that my description is not unjust.
