MR. ADAMS' CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot.
SIR,
I mentioned in a former letter that Congress had separated from me my friend, Mr. Dana, and sent him as a publick minister to the Court of Russia, from whence he communicated to me the following correspondence.
A letter from the French minister at St. Petersburg, to Mr. Dana, August 22, 1781 O. S.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 22, } 1781. O. S. Sept. 2, N. S.
SIR,
I have received the letter which you did me the honour to write me yesterday, and I cannot too forcibly express to you how sensible I am to the mark of confidence which you are so good as to give me, by communicating to me the views which the congress of the United States of America entertained when it determined to send you to the Court of Russia, as its Minister Plenipotentiary to the Empress. You know, Sir, all the interest which the King takes in the cause of the United States, and you ought not to doubt that I am very zealous to render you, here, all the services which depend upon me, and which the circumstances of the place and the persons leave at my disposition. In the present moment I cannot better answer to your confidence, than by explaining to you the general dispositions of her Imperial Majesty, with relation to all the powers which are actually at war. From the moment when the first hostilities took place, this Sovereign has made it a point of honour to hold the balance perfectly equal between the different parties; she has determined, scrupulously, to manifest no kind of preference, by avoiding, with care, every step which might indicate the smallest partiality in favour of one of the belligerent powers to the prejudice of the other. It is this conduct, equitable and perfectly impartial, which has determined the Court of the House of Bourbon as well as of London, and the States General, to accept the offers of this Princess, when she proposed to terminate their differences by her mediation, conjointly with that of the Emperor. And you are surely not ignorant, Sir, that her first plan of pacification has been sent to all the Courts which are interested in it. I shall even confide to you, that the United States of America enter into it for something, and that the august mediators desire that your deputies be admitted to the Congress which is to regulate the pretensions of the belligerent powers, that they may there debate themselves, and discuss their interests. Behold, Sir, in a few words, the situation of things at the court of Russia, and you comprehend that her Imperial Majesty, not willing to disoblige the Court of London any more than those of Versailles and Madrid, has abstained, with the greatest care, from discovering any particular inclination for the American cause.
In these circumstances, Sir, it is very doubtful, whether the Ministry of her Imperial Majesty, will consent to recognize the Minister of a power which has not, as yet, in her eyes, a political existence, and expose herself to the complaints which the Court of London would not fail to make against a mark of favour so publick. I ought, therefore, to pray you to reflect very seriously, before you think of displaying the character with which you are invested, least you engage yourself in a measure which may become much more hurtful than advantageous to the success of your views. Here, Sir, it is not as a Minister of a King that I have the honour to speak to you, but as a man to whom a residence of one entire year has given local knowledge, which you cannot have acquired. If, however, you should get over this difficulty and commence a negotiation with the Russian Ministry, and if they do me the honour to give me notice of it, you ought not to doubt that I shall labour very cheerfully to second you in every thing which shall concern the common interests. Be persuaded, moreover, that on all occasions in which I shall think it my duty to remain inactive, it will be because I shall be very sure that any steps on my part would be hurtful to one, without any advantage to the other.
I can add nothing to the sincerity of those wishes which I form for the success of your mission, nor to those distinguished sentiments with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your most humble and most obedient servant,
The Marquis of Varac.
I ought to inform you that the Count Panin and the Count D'Osterman, understand not the English, which will render your communications with those Ministers very difficult.
Letter from the French Minister, at St. Petersburg, to Mr. Dana. Sept. 12, 1781, N. S.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 12, 1781.
SIR,
In the letter which I had the honour to write you on the 2d of this month, I made but a transient mention of the article of the
plan of pacification proposed by the Courts of Vienna and Petersburg, which relates to the admission of Deputies of the United States to the Congress. Persuaded that it is the intention to admit the American Ministers, in such a manner that their publick character shall be, at the first moment of their arrival, acknowledged, not only by the belligerent powers, but also by the mediating powers, your reasoning is perfectly just, when you say that they cannot admit and acknowledge the minister of a power, without acknowledging, at the same time, the independence and political existence of that power. And you conclude from this, that it is very possible that the Court of Petersburg is in the disposition to acknowledge, voluntarily, the character with which you are invested. This reasoning, Sir, discovers equally the accuracy of your understanding, and your knowledge in matters of publick law. And it is I, only, who was in the wrong in not entering in greater detail, concerning the article which you have stated as a principle, upon which, indeed, I did not think it necessary to dwell, because I supposed you had a perfect knowledge of it, I cannot better supply my first omission than by transcribing, here, that article, as it has been sent to the Courts of Versailles, Madrid, and London.—“There shall be treaties at Vienna, by the united cares of the two Imperial Courts, concerning all the objects of the re-establishment of peace, &c. And there shall be a treaty, at the same time, between Great-Britain and the American Colonies, concerning the re-establishment of peace in America, but without the intervention of any other of the belligerent parties; and even without that of the two Imperial Courts, at least, unless their mediation shall have been formally demanded and granted upon this object.”
The mediating courts understand by this, that your Deputies shall treat simply with the English Ministers, as they have already treated in America with the commissioners of Great Britain, in 1778. That the conclusion of their negotiations shall teach the other powers upon what footing they are to be regarded, and their publick character shall be acknowledged without difficulty, from the moment when the English themselves shall no longer oppose it.—This disposition (Tournure) has been imagined to reconcile very opposite pretensions.—Have the goodness, Sir, to remark, that I do not say that I approve of this disposition; I confine myself to say, that the august mediators have taken it, in giving you an account of the reasons which have determined them. It is then clear that their design is to avoid committing themselves, by acknowledging the independence of the United States, until England herself shall have pronounced such an acknowledgment.
You perceive, Sir, that nothing could be more conformable to my wishes, than to see the Court of Russia acknowledge the independence of the United States. You are well convinced, that if it depended on me to extort from it such an acknowledgment, you would soon have reason to be satisfied perfectly with my cares. In one word you cannot doubt of all the interest which is taken in your cause by the Minister of His Most Christian Majesty in Russia. But the more I desire your success, the more I think myself obliged to apprise you of the difficulties you have to surmount. And I should believe that I betrayed my duties if I should voluntarily leave you in ignorance upon so important a point. Cloathed, as you are, with a publick character, on that part of a power whose rights and perfect independence I make it a duty to acknowledge, it does not belong to me to direct your procedures; but the alliance of that power with the King, my Master, invites me to communicate to you all the knowledge which I have acquired on this country, which can interest you.—It is with the greatest pleasure, Sir, that I fulfil this duty, repeating, at the same time, what I had the honour to say to you in my first letter, that if you should be able to surmount the difficulties which you will find in obtaining an acknowledgment of your publick character at this court, you will find me entirely disposed to second you in everything which will regard the common interest of our countries, when it shall be probable that my intervention will be agreeable to the Ministry of her Imperial Majesty.
You are too enlightened, Sir, that my counsels, and still less my approbation, should be necessary to you. I shall confine myself, therefore, to inform you of facts, which shall come to my knowledge, and which may be interesting to you, leaving to your information and discernment the care to combine them, in order to draw from them, the plan of conduct which you shall judge to be most convenient, well persuaded, that that which you shall adopt will be the best, and the most conformable to your interest. I believe, therefore, that I ought to inform you, in confidence at this time, that we expect, in a short time, the answer of France, and that of Spain, to the plan of pacification. We shall then know how they mean to consider the article which concerns your Deputies, at the Congress, and we shall see how those observations will be received at Petersburg. It is for you, Sir, to judge whether, in these circumstances, you ought to display in this country, your political character.
I have the honour to be, with the most distinguished sentiments, Sir, your most humble and most obedient servant,
The Marquis of Varac.

the ministry be wise enough to reverse those that Mr. Jackson has brought with him, all may be well;—but this is to be expected? Not by any man of common sense—those who are disposed to be again deceived, are requested again to "look at it fairly"—look at what has been the conduct of England for the last ten years, and say whether every succeeding year has not been marked with some new, some more grievous aggression, and some new pretext for plundering our citizens.
A minister is degraded for engaging they should desist—and another sent to persuade you—or if that be impracticable, to bully you into submission. But examine for yourselves—this is all that is asked, and it is to be hoped it is not asking too much.
One other request let us make, that you watch well the conduct of those who are endeavouring to persuade you to submit, and are daily offering arguments in extenuation of the wrongs the British have done you—and even attempt to justify their impression of our seamen, a right which they dare not avow over their own subjects.
When you fully consider these things—and look at them fairly—without permitting your vision to be obscured by the mists of prejudice, or the tricks of agents sent here to cajole you, and keep you in darkness—you will perceive the straight path it behoves you to pursue—prepare for every thing but submission to British regulations—and prepare to resist them.
FROM THE PUBLICK ADVERTISER.
BRITISH INSOLENCE.
An intelligent gentleman arrived in town yesterday who had left Norfolk on Thursday last, and states that the frigate President lay in Hampton Roads when he started. He came through Baltimore, and was informed on the 9th inst. that the frigate L'Africaine was then lying at Annapolis. He did not learn that any naval engagement had taken place in our waters; but he says, that if the officers of the British frigate should evince an insolent disposition towards us when afloat, as they had done when on shore at Norfolk, after their arrival in Hampton Roads, to any of our frigates, he had no doubt of the result.
The case of the new act of insolence and outrage is stated to us, and its authenticity is unquestionable in the following manner: Soon after his gracious majesty's frigate, which brought out the British peace maker , had anchored in the roads, her boat came ashore from her at Norfolk, rowed by midshipmen , with several officers on board—Shortly after landing, thinking that their coats would protect impertinence from chastisement, they imprudently rushed into the house of a respectable family, relatives of the navy agent of Norfolk, and pursued a young lady, who was so much alarmed and shocked by their indecent and insolent treatment, that her shrieks brought her mother to witness and protect her from the brutal outrage of these Russians. Of her they audaciously demanded, "Whether she had ham and porter for sale?" The lady replied that, "She neither kept a butcher's stall nor a porter-house," and requested them to depart. Notwithstanding the appearance of every thing respectable in the house and the modest yet indignant firmness of the lady, a strong disposition was manifested on the part of the officers to add additional injury to the already unpardonable insult. Her husband, however, entered about this time, when, after further altercation with him, a number of his neighbours assembled and ordered the villains to repair to their boat—to quit the city in one hour, or abide the just resentment of the populace. The officers very prudently complied—embarked within the limits of the truce, and returned to relate another gallant exploit on board their frigate. Our informant further states, that even the federalists of Norfolk, feeling so different upon this occasion from the Essex order elsewhere, admitted that the scoundrels had been treated with too much moderation.

MR. IRVINE.
You will render the publick a favour, and may be the means of conveying the sad news to some tender parents, wives, and children of the situation of their sons, husbands and fathers.
The under mentioned are the names of those that sailed from this port on the 27th of May last, in the schr. Eleanor, of George Town, myself master, for the Island of St. Bartholomews. On the 9th of June, in the longitude of 64 W. and latitude 26 N. was boarded by his [Britannick] majesty's brig of war Sappho, captain William Charlton, esq. master; he without any hesitation, or the least provocation, and without giving the least satisfaction [explanation of his conduct] put on board a prize master and seven men, and took from on board the Eleanor, the following men, viz: JOHN TABOUR, WILLIAM PEARY, both of the State of Massachusetts; PHILIP TARNEY and THOMAS WILKS, of the Eastern Shore, state of Maryland; ISAAC WOODWARD, HOLSEY AULSUP, JAMES BROWN, and DANSEY BROWN, of Anne Arundel county, state of Maryland, and ordered the Eleanor for Jamaica. THOMAS WILKS was the only man that was returned, he being, but an ordinary seaman; the rest might have been returned by the same medium, had the proud imperious commander thought proper. There is no doubt, but that
he intends they shall serve his majesty, as at the time they came on board he observed, that they were "damn'd hearty fellows." A number of his majesty's officers, the admiral himself, was much disappointed to find the Eleanor was acquitted without cost; a circumstance that seldom happens. It was the opinion at Kingstown, of those who are most in favour of America, that nine-tenths of the American vessels, which are detained by the British cruisers, belonging to that station, are merely detained for the sake of a compromise:—For instance, the schr. Julia Ann, of Philadelphia, compromised without a trial, and so might the Eleanor, for she had to do it at last, or else be abandoned; for they have got to be such complete sharpers, that it is almost impossible to evade them.

LATEST.
By the "Commercial Line" we last evening received the Boston PALLADIUM of yesterday, from which we copy the following.
AUTHENTICK NEWS.
Yesterday arrived the brig Governor Sumner, capt. HILLIARD, from Mexico and Gibraltar . Capt. H. favoured us with papers from the latter place to the 5th of Aug, containing the following interesting information.
SEVILLE—SPAIN.
Despatch of Gen. D. Gregorio de la Cuesta, dated El Brezo, July 24.
The French, under Marshall Victor, who had entrenched themselves on the banks of the Alberche, and were on the eve of being attacked, fled, in silence, on the night of the 23d; and the Anglo-Spanish armies are pursuing them in their retreat. Our advanced guard is in Cebolla.
(Government Gazette.)
CADIZ.
H. E. Don Martin de Garay, Member and Secretary of the Supreme Board of Government of the Kingdom, writes to the Consulate of Cadiz, under date the 31st July, to the following purpose:
The Supreme Board of Government of the Kingdom has just received the important intelligence, that the Anglo-Spanish army has most completely defeated the French Army, on the banks of the Alberche, after two days most severe fighting and great slaughter, in which all the troops have entitled themselves to the national esteem. H. E. hastens to impart this favourable news to the Consulate at Cadiz.
General Cuesta's Despatch.
Gen. Cuesta sends information from the camp at Talavera, under date the 28th July, that, upon being apprized that the enemy to the number of 40,000 men were making dispositions to attack him, he crossed the Alberche, to take up a position previously agreed upon with the British Commander in Chief.
At 5 in the afternoon of the 27th, the enemy presented themselves, made a most vigorous charge with fixed bayonets, and were repulsed with great loss, the battle ending at 8 at night.
On the 28th, very early in the morning, the enemy renewed their attack, which they were still carrying on at 7 in the evening, when the Despatch came away; at which time, the whole of the enemy's troops were driven back. The Gen. flatters himself, that such will be the issue of every successive action, the English and Spanish army displaying the gallantry characteristic of their Nations.
The Cusper was present in person; on that evening he withdrew to St. Ollala, with 93 carts of wounded. Laci's Division is close to Toledo; and Venezuela's army must have been in Aranjuez yesterday, with an intention to proceed to Madrid.
Signed.
CARAY.
P. S. Intelligence has just been received, by Express, that the enemy have been completely defeated.
CADIZ, AUGUST 2.
Reports have reached this City from Seville as follows:—
FIRST REPORT.
"That a glorious Victory had been gained, by the Combined Armies under Field Marshal Cuesta and Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Wellesly, over the French Army commanded by Marshal Victor."
"The loss of the British is said to be two General Officers killed, and one wounded, and from 4 to 5000 Men."
SECOND REPORT.
"(By an Express arrived here this day, the 2d.)" "That Marshal Victor, with 18,000 Men, had surrendered to the Combined Armies."
From NEW-YORK, SEPT. 23
A Gentleman of the first respectability in this city, received the following letter yesterday from his correspondent at Porto-Rico.—It confirms the news by the arrival at Baltimore.
"Porto-Rico, Sept. 1, 1809.—Three vessels have just arrived from Cadiz, one of which is in 25 days, with the official and agreeable news, (dated August 1,) that, on the 27th and 28th of July, a most bloody battle was fought in the neighbourhood of Madrid, between the Spanish and English Armies, under the command of Cuesta and Sir Arthur Wellesly, and the French, in which the latter was defeated with the loss of 48,000 Men, in killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. The presumption, therefore, is that Madrid is evacuated."
JUDICIAL. —Thomas Arnold, Esq. has declined the acceptance of the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this State. At the present session, begun in this town on Monday last, Hon. William Marchant presides as Chief Justice.
Prov. Phenix.
COAL. —A stratum of Coal has been discovered in the hill E. of Benefit Street in this town, N. end, said to be superior to that found on Rhode-Island.—Coal has also been found on Hog-Neck, Swansey, Massachusetts; persons are digging to discover whether there is any quantity of it, with sanguine expectation of success.—A Coal-Mine has been opened at Martha's Vineyard. [ibid]
COUNTERFEIT. Three Dollar Bills of the Exchange Bank, the engraving well counterfeited and the signatures badly executed, are in circulation.—The Bank has not issued Three for 16 month; few genuine ones are therefore in circulation. [ibid]
FRANCE AND AMERICA.
Letters were yesterday received from Rotterdam, dated 13th July. One of them mentions that Gen. Armstrong on the part of the Government of the U. States, had arranged with the Minister at Paris a Commercial Treaty, the conditions of which were all agreed and determined; and it remained only for the ratification of the ruler of France and the American President. The letter adds that one of the duplicates had been forwarded to Napoleon for his approbation and signature. Lon. pap.
"Darby, did you ever see a Whale?"
If the bombastic descriptions which fill the columns of federal papers in Massachusetts can be relied on, their new chief magistrate has certainly "astonished the natives." On his tour through the country, he has been greeted as "a revolutionary patriot, hero and statesman." In one town, his arrival has been compared to that of the immortal Washington's; and in another, an individual has expressed a wish "that all the states in the Union may be blessed with Governors as wise and patriotic as his Excellency." If this insinuated man's benevolent wish should be granted, the people may with propriety exclaim—"Oh, Wisdom, how art thou fallen! Oh, Patriotism, how art thou abused! Thy ways are the ways of corruption, and all thy paths are discord!" That a man who was a member of the Essex Junto, or more properly speaking, of the English political Jockey-Club, should be compared to Washington, has excited in the bosoms of those who cherish his exalted name, a just contempt for the author of so infamous a libel on his character. That a hero whose principles are yet cherished by a majority of the people in this country, should be put in competition with a man who despises their interests, and who is willing to sacrifice their just rights, cannot but disgust the enlightened yeomanry of Massachusetts, whose independent souls are not to be caught by the gaudy trappings of a plated harness, or gulled by the whining sycophantick cant of an accomplished demagogue.
In the District of Maine, as "in the days of good Queen Bess," deputations, consisting of Select-men, have waited on this prodigy of rulers, and "graceously" bestowed on him themes of praise and adoration, well calculated to raise the "vanity of vanities." It is surprising that the curiosity of the people of Maine should be so much excited at the sight of an ouf : But when we reflect that it was transported to England while scarcely fledgled, and transformed by education to a full-grown parrot , in which latter character it now appears, we are charitably inclined to excuse the populace for expressing their gratification at the sight of so rare a novelty.
It is said that the ladies in Newburyport flocked in crowds to the doors, windows, and tops of houses, to behold the Anglo-American Parrot passing in procession, and to hear the irresistible fascinating sound, of " pretty Poll ."—It is rumoured that one of the fair sex who was entitled to a view gratis , exclaimed in transports of delight, " de Democrat in Massachusetts hab got de wrong jig by de ear ."
The door will be opened in Boston for the reception of foreigners, and all native enemies to the government of the United States, who wish to behold this phenomenon in the republican horizon. British magnifying-glasses are procured for the occasion, thro' which the most minute parts of this surprising body are plainly discerned, and even the corrupt principles of his heart easily discovered.
Price of admittance.—Adults, twenty-five cents; children half price, and Negroes gratis .
Tickets to be had at the door—for which Farmers' Exchange Bank bills will be received in payment.
STARE.
* The author of this compliment on His Excellency, must certainly have discovered the 'Philosopher's stone,' which has the power of changing dirt into gold!
† The owl is said to be a wise bird, yet it cannot see farther into a mill stone than many others.
The recent elections in Vermont and Connecticut are highly suspicious to the Republican cause. In Vermont the Republican candidate for Governor, the Hon. JONAS GALUSHA, has succeeded by a majority of near two thousand votes; the other State officers are elected by similar or greater majorities.—In Connecticut, the strong hold of Federalism, the Republicans, it is said, have increased twenty in the Representative elections. We were always persuaded that the good people of New-England, would soon open their eyes, and that the triumph of the British party would be of short duration. The people are indignant at the conduct of Great-Britain; let the leaders of faction beware how they tamper with them any longer.

Poetry.
For the REPUBLICAN.
THE COUNTRY—A Summer Morning.
AURORA now, emits her purple light, Which streams in silent majesty along; And now the dark, retiring shades of night— Leave man, to chant his God, a morning song.
The Zephyrs up, as day peeps o'er the hill, Rove through the verdant meads, and softly sigh, And bathe their wings, in ev'ry lucid rill, And in the flow'rets' sweets in triumph fly.
The winged warblers of the leafy grove, With choicest notes, salute returning day; And as they carol softest songs of love, Fill'd with delight, they hop from spray to spray.
The rosy milk-maid, now with cheerful heart, The sober herd, a visit makes to gain The pleasant boon, they willingly impart, A welcome boon, to every lass and swain.
The fields all splangled, and refresh'd with dew, And with a vivid verdure all array'd, Regale the eye, with a lux'uriant view, While the green trees affords its grateful shade.
Now do wild flow'rs, in the vales that bloom, Where curling waters, quickly, smoothly run, Diffuse around the air their rich perfume, As the sweet blossoms greet the morning sun.
The od'rous rose-bud, which in "evening shades," Was but a knot of foliage—does disclose, How morning light, our hemisphere pervades, The sweetest blushes of a full-blown rose.
Thus do the birds, and beasts, and fields, and flow'rs, With all creation, speak the pow'r of God: Then rise, O man! and consecrate thy pow'rs, His sacred name to magnify and laud.
SELECTED.
THE LAND OF MY BIRTH.
BY JAMES MONTGOMERY, Author of the "Wanderer of Switzerland."
O, when shall I visit the land of my birth, The loveliest land on the face of the earth When shall I those scenes of affection explore, Our forests, our fountains, Our hamlets, our mountains, With the pride of the mountains, the maid I adore.
O, when shall I dance on the daisy white mead, In the shade of an elm to the sound of the reed; When shall I return to that lowly retreat, Where all my fond objects of tenderness meet: The lambs and the heifers that follow my call, My father my mother, My sister my brother, And dear Isabella, the pride of them all.
ANECDOTE.
A hungry Irishman, lately in London, mistaking a barber's shop for an eating house, bolted in, begged to be served. The barber supposing, from the length of his beard, that he wished to be shaved, knocked up a basin of soap-suds, and placing it before him with a wash-ball, went backwards to set his razor. Pat, without waiting for grace, supped up the suds, and swallowed the wash-ball; and on the barber's returning with his razor, the guest coolly observed, "There is no occasion for a knife, honey—your soup is very good, but your turnip was not quite boiled enough." So saying his penny, he bade the astonished barber good morning.
AMUSING MISCELLANY.
FROM THE ANTHOLOGY.
Original Letters, from an American Traveller in Europe, to his friends in this country.
LETTER SEVENTEENTH.
[Concluded.]
There is a little piece of history, connected with this arch, which, as it has amused me, may be some entertainment to you. There are about 10,000 Jews at Rome, who, as in all other parts of Europe, live in a state of abject servitude, in an unsettled, wandering state, utterly despised, and hated by their fellow citizens. These Jews never could bear the idea of passing under this arch of Titus, erected in commemoration of the utter defeat of their nation, and the destruction of their city, and whose bas reliefs related in eloquent, though dumb language, the story of their humiliation. They, therefore, petitioned the Pope, as this was a necessary thoroughfare, to grant them a small passage by the side, and it is said, that no Jew ever passes under this hated arch. This story is related with every appearance of seriousness, and I have no reason to doubt it.
Let me remark here, that the ecclesiastical rulers of this city, considering themselves as the great heads of the Christian Church, feel obliged to treat the Jews with unusual rigour. They are therefore compelled to inhabit a particular quarter of the city, which is enclosed, and in which they are locked up every night; and in the holy week, they are also confined from Thursday till the Monday following, to prevent their ridiculing the christian worship. They are constrained moreover to hear a christian sermon once a week. Moore, who owes I think, no good will to the catholicks, if to christianity, adds, that there are few or no conversions from this preaching. I should reason differently from my own experience, for during our short residence here, three Jews have been baptised.
Passing through the arch of Titus towards the Coliseum, you soon meet the splendid Arch of Constantine, the last which was raised to any Roman emperor, and yet extant. Although more entire than either of the others, connoisseurs say, (and we are all apt to think so after we know that) that it bears the marks of the decay or decline of the arts, which had taken place at the time of its erection; and there is this strong proof in favour of the connoisseurs, that Constantine demolished the arch of Trajan, to take the basso relievos in order to adorn his own; and that they now form the most beautiful ornaments of this superb arch. How Constantine could consent to demolish the trophy, erected in honour of one of his most illustrious predecessors, especially when it must of course remind him of the liability of his own to meet the same fate, one can hardly conceive. I have only been able to account for it by the supposition, that, as it was certainly erected after his conversion to christianity, he might feel justified in treating thus the memory of a pagan prince, and one under whose reign the christians were persecuted; though it must be acknowledged that Trajan was an humane and virtuous prince. But adult Constantine's motive to demolish, to be good, how could he reconcile it to his own dignity to ornate
ment his own arch of triumph with the exploits of another prince, and of one, whom, by the very supposed case, he despised?
I leave you to settle these points in America, where I doubt not the discussion will be more satisfactory, and it certainly will be as decisive as mine.
I have said enough of arches for one letter; but let me remark, that those of Severus and Constantine have been for centuries partially buried to the depth of ten or twelve feet in the earth, and no pope, until the present, has had the spirit to lay open the beauties, of which the upper and exposed parts were such sure pledges.
Let our philosophical friends settle, before we return, this knotty question, which, on the spot, with books, observation, and much reflection, I cannot decide, why some parts of Rome are now buried in an earth apparently natural, from one to thirty feet, while others, streets and pavements, publick and private edifices are on the original level? This is a thing, which I think will be a good "bone to gnaw" for your philosophers. Yours, &c.
DR. ROBERTSON'S
GENUINE Patent and Family Medicines. Celebrated for the cure of most Diseases to which the Human Body is liable, Prepared only by the sole proprietor, T. W. DYOTT, M. D. Grandson of the late Dr. ROBERTSON, of Edenburg—to be had wholesale and retail at the Proprietor's MEDICAL DISPENSARY, No. 116, North Second street, second door above Race-street, Philadelphia.
DR. ROBERTSON'S CELEBRATED Stomachick Elixir of Health, (Price one dollar and fifty cents.)
Which has proved by thousands who have experienced its beneficial effects, to be the most valuable medicine ever offered to the publick, for speedily relieving and curing the cramp, pains and wind in the stomach, and carrying off superfluous bile removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. &c.
For the dysentery or lax, cholera morbus, severe gripings and other diseases of the bowels, and the summer bowel complaint in children, it has proved a certain remedy and restored to perfect health from the greatest debility.

DR. ROBERTSON'S VEGETABLE NERVOUS CORDIAL, OR NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. (Price one dollar and fifty cents.)
Is confidently recommended, as the most efficacious Medicine, for the speedy relief and cure of all nervous complaints, impurities of the blood, seminal weakness and various complaints, resulting from dissipated pleasures, residence in warm climates, the immoderate use of tea, the unskillful of excessive use of mercury, and diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life.
Under the denomination of nervous disorders, in its full extent, are included several diseases of the most dangerous kind, and are so various, that a volume would hardly suffice to complete a description of them. It pervades with its baneful influence the whole nervous system, writhing the heart with inexpressible anguish, and exciting the most dreadful suggestions of horror and despair. To this demon have thousands fallen a sacrifice in the direful transports of its rage.
The most common symptoms at its commencement, are weakness, flatulence, palpitations, watchfulness, drowsiness after eating, timidity, flashes of heat and cold, numbness, cramp, giddiness, pains in the head, back and loins, hickup, difficulty of respiration and deglutition, anxiety, dry cough, &c.

DR. ROBERTSON'S PATENT STOMACHICK WINE BITTERS. (Price one dollar.)
These celebrated and well known Bitters are composed purely of vegetables of the most innocent yet specific virtues, and are particularly recommended for restoring weak constitutions, cleansing and strengthening the stomach and increasing the appetite; they expel worms in all ages, but from their simplicity and safety, are a most natural and effectual vermifuge when administered to children; they are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite; they are also a certain preventive against those complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons such as intermittent fevers and agues, long autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c.
They possess moreover, the property peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome pleasant and invigorating stomachick.
From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are particularly recommended; they are a very pleasant Cordial Bitter, and are recommended for the use of taverns as well as private houses.
