The following Performance was sent to the PRESS about a Month ago, which was soon after PROBUS made his Appearance in this Paper; and as no Author appear'd, it was neglected, 'till last Week, when a Person of Credit and Reputation recommended it to a Place.
It must be acknowledged, there are sundry Expressions in Favor of Probus, such as, -- He is to be regarded as a good Genius-- He might make an excellent Writer-- and then the immortal Virgil is bro't in, whose divine Eneid once shot itself into a great Luxuriance, which now charms us-- But notwithstanding this, he is compar'd at present to a Boy's artificial Kite, waddling among the Clouds, at the End of a Skein of Pack Thread-- and at the close, is represented as casting up his Eyes like a g-a-p-i-n-g COD.
To the PRINTERS.
You have lately entertain'd the Public with sundry Pieces, among whom one PROBUS makes his Appearance, therefore please to take the following Notice of him, as an Original.
Non cogitat quid dicat.
THE Piece in your Paper, sign'd Probus, without Doubt, is the Production of a superbus, arrogans, suffrens-- impudens--imperitus, inexpertus, rudis-- adolescens, adolescentulus, pusio , whose Ideas are so confused by studying sundry Authors that he has culled out the Chaff, left the Wheat, and endeavoured, by detaching some of their Expressions, (which stood well in Connection with what went before, and follow'd after) to make them his own--However, his main Design is to appear popular, and one of Consequence; but if I am not mistaken, ten Pounds would silence him; and he would immediately wreck his Invention ( Cranium, testa calvaria ) to throw together as many confused Ideas on the other Side--but as there are Critics of all Sizes, no Wonder the noblest Productions have been nibbled at; and as one expresses it, Ignorance and Conceit have endeavoured to shake down the most beautiful Structures, in Order to build themselves a Reputation out of the Ruins--and sometimes the divinest Pages have not escaped their Smut-- by low Satyre-- but as there is no Occasion for a regular Criticism upon Nonsense, tho' some have attempted it-- I would observe, as the Sun scatters Day through a whole Frame of Worlds, yet may in some particular Spots raise a Fog, or hatch a Nest of Vermin, who wonderfully delight in Noise and Clamour, a Rattle of Words, and Extravagance of Imagination, which they look upon as the Perfection of Rhetoric, and nothing will please them, that is not big and boisterous, wild and irregular, and are transported beyond themselves at the Tumult and Confusion that bellows through a Hurricane of Nonsense, which differs as much from a Master Piece of good Writing, as a Boy's artificial Kite, waddling in the Clouds at the End of a Skein of Pack Thread, does from the natural Flight of an Eagle, towering with steady Pinions up the Sky, and bearing full upon the Sun--as our Author does.
But notwithstanding what I have here asserted, I would not by any Means be understood, as though I had any Prejudice against this HERO of the present Essay, who files himself Probus; whether he is nine Feet high, or four in diameter, is not to the Purpose--Perhaps his Voice is not unlike the Roar and Rapidity of a Torrent foaming down a Mountain, and reverberating among the neighbouring Rocks; The Hurry of Voci-feration, with which he drives along in the Heat of an Argument, imitates the Thunder of a Cart Load of Stones poured out upon a Pavement: if he was educated in a Ship of War, one would imagine he learnt the Notes of his Gamut , from the various Whistlings of a Tempest thro' the Rigging of his Vessel.
But to draw towards a Close; however I am beholden to others for my Thoughts, an imaginary Description of him may not be amiss; He is to be regarded as a good Genius run wild, for want of Cultivation from Study, and the Rules of Art--He might by this Means make an excellent Writer--Thus it happened to the immortal Virgil, whose divine Eneid once shot itself into so great a Luxuriance, as to be near twenty times as large as it appears at this Day--his Imagination cooled by Years, and his Judgment ripen'd; his Thoughts learn'd to proportion themselves to his Subject, and cast themselves into that exact Symmetry of Arrangement and Disposition, in which they now charm us--But not to lose Sight of the Description--It appears plainly that Probus heaps his Subjects with improper and foreign Tropes, clouds them with supernumerary Epithets, so as to fling the whole into a Huddle of Impertinency and Inconsistency; mighty fond of great sounding Words, and let his Topic be what it will, he has perpetual Recourse to them upon all Emergencies--He once took it in his Head to be in Love, and wrote a Poem to his Mistress on that delicate Passion: But instead of the gentle Flow of Harmony, which any one would reasonably have expected, and which is indeed essential to Compositions of that Kind, his Numbers stalked along as sturdy and outrageous as in any other of his Performances--I myself counted in Fifty-Six Lines of it, three Celestials , eight Immortals , eleven Unbounded , six Everbashings , four Eternities , and thirteen Infinities ; besides Bellowings, Ravings, Yellings, Horrors, Terribles, Rackets; Hubbubs and Clatterings , without Number--But what pleased me the most of any of his Compositions, was a Poetical Description of a Game at Push-Pin . Sure, thought I, when I read the Title, there can be nothing very loud and impetuous upon so trivial a Matter as this. How I was surprised at my Mistake, my Reader will in some Measure conceive, when he understands that the first Distich of the Poem runs thus,
Rage, Fire and Fury in my Bosom roll, And all the Gods rush headlong on my Soul.
† Lex legis--Jus; fas; ----- Senatusconsultum ----- Plebiscitum--- Jus civile, jus cætarum--- Jus municipale --- Jus gentium.
He then proceeded to compare the Pins to two Comets, whose Heads, as he expressed it, enlightened the boundless Deserts of the Skies with a bloody Glare, and threw behind them the ruddy Volumes of their tremendous Trails, into the trackless Waste of Immensity, &c. Probus is indeed, a Man of sprightly Parts, and a tolerable Capacity; but he unfortunately entertains an Opinion, that he has the Art of being admired by every Body. It is almost impossible to discover his Principles or Dispositions; for he is a very Looking-Glass which represents the Image of every Person that approaches; he is a Figure of Snow, bearing different Shapes according to the Humours of successive Passengers-- When he was at School he was lashed by his Master, for joining the Murmur of his School-Fellows, and despised by his Class-Mates for assisting him in discovering their truant Tricks--At one Time, you will perhaps find him declaiming on Order and Subordination with a Tory, and the next, musing with maudlin Eyes, on Compacts, Balance of Power, Bribery and Corruption,paring and trimming the Constitution , and lamenting the Butches and Rents of Administration --the Uncertainty of the Laws, and how vague in their Composition,-- and the Necessity there is of a Regeneration in the whole System ---He is hated by none, but despised by all---He is an Echo that repeats the Words of every Person that addresses him--- Tell him to Day,---such a Composition is grand and elegant, and Probus will echo, 'tis exquisitely grand and excellent!-- Tell him to Morrow, 'tis low and jejune,---and Probus with the sedate Brew of Criticism, will call it trifling, flat and insipid---Follow him to the Revels of Comets, and you will swear he was the best bred Cock of the Society.
He can cast up his Eyes like a gaping Cod, fish like the South Wind through a Cranny,--has a tolerable Nose--can look as dismally as an illuminated Caput Mortuum ; and besides, has the most wonderful Gifts---and I appeal to the Sisterhood, whether these are not the prime, the only Constituents, of a sweet, dear, good Man .
But tho' these Arts might awhile avail, they have involved him in many Perplexities and ridiculous Circumstances, and have obliged him sometimes to deny in one Company, what he had just before asserted in another. He is often pushed to ten Fallacies to support one; and sometimes by a hasty Acquiescence in the Words of others, has flar'd, yag'd , when a Compa-nion has retracted, and confessed as a Mistake, what Probus had highly applauded, meekly because he thought they were his Sentiments.
St. JOHN's, in Antigua, July 20. 1771. The following account of a horrid murder and piracy, committed on board the Snow Esher, Charles Finnie, master, is extracted from a memorandum taken on board the said vessel.
ON Sunday eve, June 22d, 1771, Charles Finnie, master of the snow Esher, Robert Dann, half owner & supercargo, & Richard Bolton, surgeon, were on the quarter-deck, the people at the same time diverting themselves at play seemingly:—At half past 8 in the evening Capt. Dann and Bolton retired to the cabin. After their leaving the deck, the doctor cried out, "Lord have mercy upon us! the people have seized Captain Finnie," and directly after we, (Dann and Bolton) saw him going aft, calling out Capt. Dann! Capt. Dann! Immediately after this they called out to Capt. Dann to come on deck, swearing, "damn him, he shall go overboard after Finnie." Capt. Dann then begged them to save his life, as he had done no injury to any of them. George Washington then came down with several others, broke open the arm chest which lay in the steerage, & loaded the arms, none of them being loaded before; Dann and Bolton had no time to get arms themselves; the cry still continuing very strong, particularly by John Cooper, who was chief mate, for Capt. Dann to come on deck, where Thomas Jenkins stood ready with an ax to cut him down. Dann not coming upon deck, Thomas Ternay went down, with a cocked pistol to shoot him; but a negro wench who was on board hung on him in such a manner, and begged on her knees that he would shoot her and spare her master's life that the villain resented and went on deck again.
In this situation we passed the night; in the morning the revolvers held another consultation, when it was determined to kill
Capt. Dann; but falling out among themselves, his fate was respited: They at last resolved to land Dann and Doctor Bolton on some unfrequented Island, where they might perish. But the Almighty was pleased to interfere in our deliverance, in manner following.
On Wednesday, July 10th, 1771, at half past eleven at night, Capt. Dann and the Doctor being asleep in the cabin, they were alarmed & greatly terrified, by a prodigious noise and scuffling on deck, yet not daring to stir in their distressed situation, nor go up to see what was the matter. They retired under the cabin deck, yet not daring to stir in their distressed situation, nor go up to see what was the matter. They retired under the cabin deck, where they soon after heard Thomas Jenkins call on Capt. Dann and the Doctor to come up and take possession of the vessel again.
As they knew Jenkins to be as great a villain as any of them, tho' he & some others had separated on the first quarrel after the murder of Capt. Finnie, they thought he was only decoying them up to kill them, they therefore did not go up. Two of the wounded were at the same time calling repeatedly on the Doctor to come up & dress their wounds, or they would bleed to death. The Doctor at last ventured up, and was followed by Captain Dann, on the Doctor's assuring him he was safe. On their coming on deck, they found Francisco Maffo, a Spaniard, who could not speak a word of English, in possession of the deck; and who with no other weapon than an axe, had cut and wounded in a terrible manner, George Washington, alias Fisher; who acted as Captain, Thomas Parker, who acted as mate, James Watson, who was boatswain, & John Lamb who acted as gunner. The three last are since dead of their wounds, Bartholomew Lane he threw overboard; John Cooper, who was shipped as chief mate, & John Burrell, seamen, made no resistance against the Spaniard, but hid themselves below.
Thus was Capt. Dann, put into possession of his vessel again, in a most miraculous manner, and what most remarkably shews the immediate interposition of Providence in this discomfiture, is, that the honest Spaniard received only one blow on the head with a handspike which made a contusion of about 4 inches long, notwithstanding the pirates were in possession of the arm chest, and sleeping all round it on deck.—Jenkins and Ternay, who were left out of irons, to assist in navigating the vessel, intended to have cut us off privately, a day or two before we made the land, but were timely secured in irons. The prisoners have since given information, that Washington and Ternay had ground their knives, with intention of murdering Capt. Dann and Dr. Bolton, and that at another time the axes were bro't up and put under the Boat for the same purpose; that at other times it was resolved to seize and throw them overboard, as they were making their observations.—What prevented these hellish designs has not yet come to light. William Nelson was at the helm when Finnie was thrown overboard, and does not appear to have been concerned in that action; but was privy to every matter concerted by them after the murder of Finnie, and deeply engaged in the conspiracy.
Their intention was to have landed Capt.

Dann and the Doctor on some desolate island about the Cape de Verds; then to have proceeded to the Brazils to sell the vessel and cargo: but on the 8th instant, being fearful of falling short of provisions, they altered their design and bore away for the Bay of Honduras. It appears also by the confession of Thomas Jenkins, that James Anderson, second mate, and John Barlow, carpenter, were both of them acquainted with the intentions of the pirates some time before their horrid scheme was put in execution, but never gave the least hint thereof to Capt. Dann, or Dr. Bolton, though it does not appear they had any hand in throwing Charles Finnie overboard.
Capt. Dann, of the Snow Esmer, returns Lieut. Col. Reynolds of the 68th regiment, his most grateful thanks, for his politeness and extraordinary expedition in sending off a party of soldiers to escort on shore the band of inhuman pirates, from whose bloody machinations it has pleased the Almighty so very miraculously to deliver him and his surgeon Mr. Bolton.
On Tuesday night last, five of the pirates were brought ashore under a strong guard, and lodged in the goal: And on Wednesday morning were brought to the courthouse and underwent an examination before three of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace; when the evidence appearing clearly against them, they were remanded back to the prison, to take their trials before a court of Admiralty, as soon as a commission for that purpose can be obtained from his Honour the Lieutenant-General.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.
Extract of a Letter from Barbados, June 21. "I am sorry to acquaint you that there arrived from Tobago yesterday, an account of a new insurrection at the estate of Mr. Fowke, a gentleman of Barbados; the Negroes have destroyed a Manager and his servant; the estate is called Perry-Wood, and situated in Bloody-bay. A party of volunteers and soldiers went against the Negroes, who fled towards the mountains, where they made a stand and gave one fire by which they wounded a volunteer and Mr. Alexander Campbell, very dangerously; they were fired upon in return by the soldiers, &c. which occasioned their throwing themselves precipitately down a steep hill; it is imagined the white party wounded many of the Negroes very desperately, as they were extremely near when they fired; they left behind them a good deal of ammunition which they had taken from the estate. It is supposed the ring-leader of the former insurrection is at the head of this as he is not yet taken."
Extract of a Letter from St. Eustatia, July 20. "We have just received advice that Mr. Bloyden's sloop is taken by the Spaniards with a full load of Turtle, and that the Turtlers to the number of 32 men were carried to St. Domingo as slaves. Mr. Low's Schooner was at the same place, and was obliged to cut and run, fearing they should share the same fate."
Extract of a Letter from Pittsburgh, August 6. "Last night a Runner arrived here from Fort Charles; he came from thence the 10th of June with a party, in three Battos, two Officers and a recruiting party, which he left yesterday at Mingoe-Town, about 40 miles down the river. By him we learn, that the Kickapoo and Quoitannons have struck the English, and killed two white Men and a Negro; that they pursued this Party, and intended to way-lay them at some Creek, but by their diligence they passed that Creek two days before the Indians did."
NEW-YORK, August 22. Yesterday the noted Cunningham, lately escaped from New-port Goal, was taken up, and committed to our Goal, also one Thompson, his Companion, and 5 or 6 others for Theft.
It appears by the Virginia Papers, that in the late dreadful Freshes, about 3 Millions 400 Thousand Pounds of Tobacco, were destroyed in the public Warehouses on James and Rappahannock Rivers, and that to relieve the Sufferers the Assembly have passed an Act whereby they are intitled to receive from 16/8 to 20/ per Hundred for the said Tobacco, according to its Quality. To raise this Money the following Tax are laid, viz.
Upon every 4 wheel'd Carriage, except Waggons, 20/ every 2 wheel'd Chaise or Chair 10/ every Ordinary Licence 20/ on every original Writ, or Subpoena in Chancery in the General Court 2/6. every Summons or Petition for lapsed Land, and every Caveat entered in the Secretary's Office, also for every such Writ or Subpoena in an inferior Court 1/3. on every Hoghead of Tobacco passed and delivered to be shipped after the 25th of October next 3/ and because the said Taxes cannot be immediately collected, the Treasurer is empowered to issue Treasury Notes to the Amount of £. 30,000 redeemable the 10th of Dec. 1775.
For paying the public Printer £. 450 per Annum, and several other Acts.
NEW-LONDON, August 23. We hear from Wyoming that one John Dick, an Irish Fellow, with a Party of 300 Ruffians, the off scouring of two or three Governments, in the Night Time of the 30th of July last, surprised the Connecticut People at Wyoming, firing on
the Centre, one Richard Cook, whom they killed outright; but the Connecticut People rally'd and soon dispersed those Villains.--- This is the same John Dick that has been a pretended Constable, this two or three Years, to worry the Connecticut People, with his Colleague or Brother Constable, one James Logan, a Muster or Molatto Fellow. These two have been principally improved under the famous (or rather infamous) Capt. Ogden as Civil Officers, perhaps two of the most daring, infamous Rascals that the two Nations of Irish and Negro can afford; and is the same John Dick and James Logan, that some Time past, & since they were in the Commission of Constable broke into the House of one Brink, of Lower-Smithfield, on Delaware River, & after they had ravished his Daughter, they snapped Pistol at his Wife, by which Surprize she miscarried.--- Brink pressed to have Justice against them, and had them bound over; but they were useful in murdering and robbing the Connecticut People at Wyoming, they were released, and Justice could not be had against them. And these are the same Villains that last Winter perpetrated the Cruelty on the Wife of one Partial Terry.--- A great Evidence of the badness of the Cause when the vilest of Men and Measures are made Use of, to support it: When at the same Time the Connecticut People are ready and desirous to have it settled in a legal Way, without Bloodshed.
One day last week, as Deacon ----- Foot of Branford was walking from his house to his pasture, to catch a horse, on finding himself suddenly taken ill, he returned home and just entering the door, told one of the family he felt strangely, when he fell down, and expired in an instant.
PROVIDENCE, August 17. Wednesday last came to Town, Mr. John Oxley, a public Speaker among Friends; the same Day he preached at the Friend's Meeting-House, to universal Acceptance, and afterwards pursued his Journey to the Southward.
Trinity Church in Pomfret, was dedicated on Friday the 12th of April last, by the Rev. Mr. Tyler, of Norwich. Mr. Peters, of Hebron, read Prayers, and assisted at the Solemnity.
A CAUTION to the PUBLIC. ABOUT the Middle of May last one Robert Stewart came to this Town, and requested Mr. Joseph Lawrence, Insurance Broker, to get Insurance made on the Sloop Betty, Joseph Houghion, Master, from North-Carolina to Jamaica, John Hart, Owner, and produced said Owner's Letter, dated Beaufort, North-Carolina, February 26, 1771. advising that said Sloop was then ready to sail; that she was a Vessel one Year old, and well found.---Insurance was accordingly made on said Vessel, to the Amount of £. 450 Lawful Money, at 4 per Cent. No further Intelligence could be obtained of this Vessel till the 3d of August inst. when said Robert Stewart called at Mr. Lawrence's Office, left a Protest, &c. to prove the Loss of said Sloop directed him to collect the Money underwrote, and went immediately out of Town, before any of the Underwriters had seen him. The Thursday following he returned, when the Underwriters pointed out to him the many Contradictions contained in the Papers which he could not but see, carried strong Marks of Fraud and Villainy. It was therefore proposed to him, to mention how he would be willing to settle the Policy. After some Pause he said, if he could have his Premium returned and his Expenses paid, he would give up the Policy; when most of the Underwriters gave up the Premium, but did not think fit to pay any Part of his Expenses, on which he declared himself fully satisfied.
Said Robert Stewart has lived, as he says, about three Miles from New-London, nine Months past. He is a young Man and there is a Possibility of his being innocent; but the whole appears to be a designed Fraud. A Friend to the Public.
Providence, Aug. 8, 1771. N. B. If said Vessel should be insured in any other Office, the Under writers request public Notice may be given thereof.

The Vessel and most of the Cargo lost, but the People consisting of the Vessel's Crew and several Passengers all saved. A Fisherman took them off after they had been nine Days on the Island, but happily did not want for Provisions, and carried them to Halifax.
Vast Numbers of Persons have been to see the Maiden Dwarf, (from Beverly) 53 Years old, who is but 22 Inches in Stature. It was reported a few Days since, that the MURDERER Richardson's pardon came with Capt.

Anecdote from the Life of the late King. IN 1745, when the Rebellion existed, the city of London opened their chamber for subscriptions to raise men and money for the safety of his Majesty and constitution, as we had very few forces at home. The train bands were well exercised; but our army, then abroad under the late Duke of Cumberland, could not be soon brought over. The Pretender, and Secretary Murray, with their Rebels, had advanced to Derby; one of the Lords in waiting advised the King to go to Hanover till peace should be restored at home, as he did not conceive that the whole force in Britain, if collected together, could face the rebels. (At this time news was brought that the Pretender had begun to march from Derby towards Nottingham and London.) His Majesty, like a Man of honour, answered, "I thank you, my Lord, for the concern you have for my personal safety, Let the Pretender advance; I am sure the city of London will march to my standard at Finchley Common, and there, with the city's train bands; I will fight the Pretender and his Rebels; I am sure to defeat them. I am King of England and will die King of England, at the head of my Londoners, much rather than run away from the Pretender." Here was the most sincere confidence on each side; the city of London surrounding the Throne, protecting their King, all England animated by them, and following their example.
