To Author of the Review in the American Magazine for the last month, has, for some reason or other given an imperfect and unfavorable representation of this Poem. He considers it as illiberal, abusive, obscure, and having little poetic merit; in all which, since the reading of the Poem, I beg leave to differ from him, and believe that every unprejudiced person will do the same.
In defending the good people of China, the Reviewer asserts, what appears to him truth, and opposes error? Admitting that he has learned from creeds and systems; is he not full as liberal as those who contend for none? The Poem condemns as erroneous, certain tenets, and the liberal Reviewer, in his turn, condemns the Poem for so doing. The truth is, by liberty, as used by some, we must understand a want of any fixed principle whatever.
Of obscurity, two instances in the Poem are produced, and which are now kindly explained to us, through wonderful skill and sagacity. For these two, in a Poem of considerable length, the author is called an adept in obscuring his ideas. Just as candid is the remark on abstrusest fables and a thousand years , as thought it was a favorite word, when it is only twice thus used.
In short, relying on the candor of the editor of the Magazine, I was inclined to believe this Poem to be as it has been represented; but having afterwards purchased and read it, I found it not indeed free from faults, but full of beauties, and which an ingenious critic would have pointed out. The poetry is, in many places easy and flowing, and the satire generally natural and severe. The author, in my opinion is no mean Poet, and has happily enough, turned against infidels their own weapon. He has given us, in this performance, a fair promise of future excellence, and served, as far as satire can serve, the interests of religion and virtue.
Left some may be influenced by the remarks in the Magazine, I shall quote a few lines from different parts of the Poem, recommending those who will to see them to advantage, in their connection, to peruse the whole.
Satan is introduced in the beginning, and described thus:— "A cloud his gloomy car; his path around, Attendant whirlwinds gave a fearful sound; Before him dragons wound their bloody spires; Far shot behind him death's Tartarean fires; To image Heaven's high state he proudly rode, Nor seem'd he less than Hell's terrific God." Is not this sublime painting? And where is the intolerable harshness in these lines?
Now just and severe the following, on Boilingbroke: "For fame, his Heaven, thro' falsehood's realms he ran, And, m'd, and watch'd, and toil'd, and hop'd in vain, Misread, miswrote, misquoted, misapplied, Yet fail'd of fame, and miss'd the skies beside. In views, in pride, in late caustion'd with me, Even Satan's self shall drop a tear for thee." And the following, on Hume: "All things roll on, by fixt eternal laws; Yet no effect depends upon a cause: Hence every law was made by chance divine! Parent most fit, of order and design! Earth was not made, but happen'd; yet on earth, All beings happen by most fated birth; Each thing miraculous; yet strange to tell, Not God himself can show a miracle."
The writings of Voltaire, are no less humorously described.—But what can be more laughable than those lines, on the late champion A——? "Yet faithful were his toils; what could he more? In Satan's cause, he busied, bruis'd and swore." The Reviewer finds fault, because men of different characters are grouped together, but Satan's ministers have different gifts, and this one had his, and they are all useful in promoting the common cause.
The author is very severe on C——'s scheme, and it makes the finest part of the Poem. "Satan, he contends, the shortest route pursue; But scarce behind, my children follow too. Even Satan's self ere long, shall follow lie, On cap, buzza! and thro' the door go I!" He describes the wicked, as overjoyed at the news, that there is no Hell. "Thus rang the thrilling voice the new world round; Each villain flared at the pleasing found, Rug'd his old crimes, new mischiefs gandevis'd, And turn'd his nose up to the threatening skies."
Again, the honest tar:— "High pleas'd, the honest tar out bolted—where! Good doctrine, Jack, aye, too good to be true." Again, the Epicure: "There the half-pud Epicure was seen, His cheeks of port, and lips with turtle green, Who hop'd a long eternity was giv'n, To spread good tables, in some eating Heaven."
The description of the divine, who believes and preaches according to this doctrine, is as pretty a piece of satire, as, perhaps, any where to be found. "There find'st the smooth divine, unuss'd to wound, The sinner's heart, with Hell's alarming found. No terrors on his gentle tongue attend; No grating truths, the nicest ear offend. That strange new-birth, that methodistic grace, Nor in his heart, nor sermons found a place. Plato's fine tales he elusively re-told, Teite, fire-side, moral sea-fans, dull as old; His Christ and bible, plac'd at good remove, Guilt Hell-deferring, and forgiving love. 'Twas best, he said, mankind should cease to sin; Good laws requir'd it; so did peace within: Their morals, well he knew, would ne'er be better; But not a penny full would please to go to Heaven."
The poet, at what discovers as fine a vein, as "The sinner's heart, with Hell's alarming found. No terrors on his gentle tongue attend; No grating truths, the nicest ear offend. That strange new-birth, that methodistic grace, Nor in his heart, nor sermons found a place. Plato's fine tales he elusively re-told, Teite, fire-side, moral sea-fans, dull as old; His Christ and bible, plac'd at good remove, Guilt Hell-deferring, and forgiving love. 'Twas best, he said, mankind should cease to sin; Good laws requir'd it; so did peace within: Their morals, well he knew, would ne'er be better; But not a penny full would please to go to Heaven."
any thing in either Pope or Young. From these few specimens, and I am not certain that I have chosen the best, it would seem as though the remarks in the Magazine, either, were hasty and inconsiderate, or proceeded from an attachment to the sentiments ridiculed. We are not apt to allow wit to what turns upon ourselves. This last, however, we hope is not the case, being unwilling, that he, who has merit for his labors in improving our language, and is engaged in the first Magazine ever published in this city, should be grouped with the enemies of religion and found learning.
August 7, 1738. BENEVOLOUS. The following taken from the American Magazine, is the Review alluded to:—
The Triumph of Infidelity. A Poem. 1738. Addressed to M ons . de Voltaire. THE design of this poem is to ridicule infidelity. The writer introduces Satan, as describing the progress of scepticism from the christian era, down to the present time. He mentions the state of infidelity at the birth of Christ.
"All nations won to ignorance and sin, Without the Gentile and the Jew combined." He then relates the shock his kingdom received by the preaching of the Apostles—the revival of infidelity after the death of Constantine, and its progress under the papal hierarchy—the rise and progress of truth upon the reformation by Luther and Calvin, and its depression during the dissipated age of Charles II.—Satan then proceeds to honor the names and success of his veterans, Hume, Voltaire, Shaftesbury and Bolingbroke, with their subalterns, Toland, Tindal, Collins, Chubb, Woolston and Morgan.
"Who sworn to me, to vice and folly given, At truth and virtue growl'd and bark'd at heav'n." He mentions Socinus, as lowering eternity's great fire to dust , and his follower Priestley, who has formed a whole system of divinity out of hell air . Satan then goes on to notice his champions in America. On the author of the "Essay on Matter," he has the following remarks:
"Even plodding—did but little good! Who taught, the soul of man was made of mud, Cold mud was virtue; warmer mud was sin, And thoughts the angle-worms that crawled within." Of the writer of the "Oracles of Reason," he says, "In vain thro' realms of nonsense—ran, The great clod-hopping oracle of man," &c. But Satan bestows the greatest encomiums on Chauncy's doctrine of Universal Salvation, as the best adapted to extend his conquests.
"I hail the glorious project, first and best, That ever Satan's bright invention blest." He considers Murray, as a weaver, scampering before bailiffs from his native country, to prove down truth , as a story-teller, a dirty flatterer of sin and folly, a mimic, shielded with effrontery, making fun among rogues and blockheads, and changing the pulpit into a puppet show. He dwells long on Chauncy's scheme of renovating all men by a series of purgatorial processes; a scheme raised on a few Greek adverbs and prepositions.
"See kai's and epi's build the glorious scheme, And gar's and pros unfold their proof supreme." He takes notice of the effect of such doctrine, in the character of a late member of C——; distinguished by the number of his mistresses; and also lashed a class of men who resign themselves to their passions, and are equally indifferent to all religions.
The poem is not destitute of poetic merit. The versification is generally correct, and varied, but intolerably harsh. The irony of the piece is indifferently well supported thro' the whole, and here and there we find a severe sarcasm. We cannot however consider the satire as uniformly natural and severe. A jumble of words, forced conceits, and farfetched ideas will never pass for wit or satire. What does the author mean by deifying the world's Almighty Truth ? Why neither more nor less than the Socinian doctrine which denies the divinity of Christ. But who could suspect the meaning without a context or a comment?
"This M—— proves, in whom my utmost skill, Peer'd out no means of mischief but the will." This passage follows a short account of Dr. Chauncy and his opinions; from which circumstance and from nothing else , we judge the writer's meaning to be this, that Satan with all his skill could not furnish Murray with any abilities or means of doing mischief, equal to Chauncy's, except his will. But the writer, with all his skill in obscuring his ideas , in which he appears to be an adept, could have hardly found another mode of expression so little calculated to convey his real meaning. The whole description of Murray's preaching is an attempt at dirty ridicule , to use his own expressions, which would make a bawler blush.
The writer's description of the Chinese religion and its votaries in the most illiberal abuse. "There mid a realm of cheat, a world of lies, Where altered nature wears one great disguise; Where frunk mhapun bodies mocks the eye, And harvelled souls the power of thought deny, Mid idiot mandarins and baby kings, And dwarf philosophers in leading rings, Mid senilets votaries of left female Fo, Wretches who nothing ev'n seem'd to know . Bonzes with foul, more naked than their skin, All brute without, and more than brute within; &c."
Does this abuse proceed from the pen of a christian? Is it possible that a man who attempts to vindicate christianity, can seriously call the Mandarins, Kings, and Philosophers of China, idiotic, dwarfs, senilets, and the Bonzes, brutes , and something below brutes?
Should not borrow from such a faithful verifier as Pope the contrast between his own lines and those borrowed immediately, details the plagiarism. Witness the following from Eloisa and Abelard. "Oh write it not, my hand! the name appears, Already written: Wast it out, my tears!" Compared with the two succeeding lines of the author:— "Still, oh, all pious favor! let thy love Stronger than death, all heights and heaven above, &c."
The bathos of these lines is nothing singular; one half the poem is a jumble of unmeaning epithets, or an unnatural association of ideas. What does the writer mean by phoenix rising above the ashes of a thousand skies ? We have heard of the phoenix rising from its ashes , but we do not recollect of Phoenix rising from ashes ; but we do not recollect to have seen any account of a thousand skies . Yet thousand's is a favorite word.
"The pagan fabric of a thousand years ." The writer has abused D. Chauncy freely for his purgatories; yet he talks about a lower hell ; and although the number of hells, is not mentioned, yet Satan was once plunged beneath the town . Query, where did he stop?
NEW-YORK, Aug. 9.
Extract of a letter from Pittsburgh, July 26. Late accounts from the falls of Muddybrook mention, that on Saturday the 12th inst. before sunrise, a party of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians (supposed to be the party of plunderers mentioned in the late papers) attacked the people at that place and killed two soldiers, and a negro man belonging to Mr. David Duncan; that one of the Indians was killed in the act of scalping him, and several others wounded, and were finally beat off without any other loss to our people. There having been no account of any other party since, and letters of the 8th from the Five Nations arrived to the superintendent, informing him that their chiefs were gone on to the place where the whole of the Indians are to collect to go to the Indian treaty, it is hoped there will be no further interruption or mischief done by such parties.
By the ship Margaret , Capt. Blaine, arrived on Thursday last from Glasgow, we have received Papers to the 4th June, from which we have taken the following:—
VIENNA, May 14.
We learn by advices from the Prince of Cobourg, General of horse, bearing date the 3th April, that the Turks belonging to the garrison of Chatina, made two attacks on the posts of Rohatin and Bojana-Lofa, led on by a detached party of troops under command of that General. Major General Schermering, who holds the command of Derbatschir, having sent off a division of the regiment of Khevenhuller, to Bojana-Lofa, they were attacked between eight and nine in the morning of the 24th of April by a party of 1500 Turks and Tartars, composed of horse and foot. One division of the corps instantly fell upon a piquet party of our infantry posted with a piece of cannon in the front of Bojana-Lofa, but a patrol party, composed of a Lieutenant, a corporal, and twelve privates, on their march from Rohatin, under command of Baron Klemmayer, Captain of a regiment of hussars, joining our infantry, these two incon siderable bodies forced the Turks to retreat. The Captain's horse was wounded, as were six of the privates of the hussars. They had only one man killed and one wounded. Our party, to prevent their communication being cut off with the corps to which they belonged, retired with their piece of cannon.
The Turks afterwards several times attempted to surround, but through the excellent management of Messrs. Klein and Borwitz, the incessant fire of our artillery, and the undaunted resolution of our troops during a contest of three hours, the enemy were forced to retreat and give up the project they had formed to cut off all our division.
We had 19 men killed and 72 wounded, among the last was Captain Borwitz, who received two wounds. There remained only on the field of battle 8 Turks and 18 of their horses, as they always carry off as many of the killed and wounded as possible. The bravery of our troops, commissioned officers, subalterns, and soldiers in general, is highly extolled by the Prince of Cobourg and Major General Schermering. The Captains Klein, Borwitz, and the Baron Klemmayer, particularly distinguished themselves in this action.
One of the four companies of the regiment, posted at Rohatin, under Major General Jordan, having been sent under the command of Captain O'Donovan, towards the redoubt of that place, was attacked on the 24th of April, between the hours of eight and nine in the morning, by a body of 1000 Turks; but they made a resolute defence for some time, both with their musketry and artillery. Major Plank, of the same regiment, who was stationed at the grand post with three other companies, having heard the report of the cannon, dispatched Capt. Portier with his company to the court Capt. O'Donovan, and cover the flank of the redoubt of Rohatin, and ordered the two remaining companies under arms.
Two hours afterwards the enemy appeared with their whole force upon an ascent opposite the redoubt of Rohatin, from whence their cavalry attacked ours with incredible fury; but Major Plank having time to bring up the two pieces of artillery that had been placed at the redoubt, received the troops sent to his relief, and, at the same time, commanding the whole valley, as his artillery was placed on an eminence, he attacked the enemy with such vigor for the space of an hour and a half, as forced them to retire in the greatest disorder. We lost 37 men, among whom was a brave Capt. Portier. The number of the wounded is computed at 36. The Turks left upon the spot 39 men, several turbans, and sabers, a proof that many officers had fallen in the action. They had hidden many of their dead in hay racks, and carried off many of their wounded in waggon. The Prince of Cobourg received intelligence that the Turks themselves rate their loss upon this occasion, at 200 men. Our officers and men gave the highest proofs of valor, in contending with such superior force.
LONDON, May 29.
A club, or a society of general and very humane information, has been formed at the St. Andrew's Tavern, to circulate into the hands of foreign governments, and local knowledge in the interior parts of Africa. The members, the Bishop of Llandaff, Lord Galloway, Mr. Beaufoy, and others, public spirited men. The obvious intention, to send out proper persons, to report to them the different informations which they may collect on the great subjects.
The British vessel sent on discoveries in the year 1784, and to ascertain whether a north-east or north-west passage to China was practicable, and now on its return to Europe from Canton, went farther northward than Captain Cook, but could not double the Cape, in order to return by the sea that lies between the North Cape and East Greenland, but it is intended to go to the Pole, that the attempt was found to be totally impracticable. Though sailing to 83 degrees, they could not find the entrance into that part where Davis's Straits communicate with the ocean on the western side of the continent of America, within the Arctic circle.
A few weeks since, a violent affair happened in the 18th regiment, stationed in Gibraltar, which unfortunately terminated in a duel between Major Benjamin Chapman, the commanding officer of the regiment at the time, and Captain De Lancey, an American gentleman belonging to the same corps.
When they met at the ground, Captain De Lancey made a most extraordinary declaration, viz. "That Major Chapman might fire, if he so thought proper; but, for his part, he was resolved not to discharge his pistol, until the muzzle of it touched the Major's breast." To which the Major replied, "That he had expected, when he came there to decide their differences upon the point of honor, that it was to be with a gentleman, and not an assassin." At the same instant, he threw away his pistols, and left the ground with his second.
His Majesty was so much offended with the conduct of Captain De Lancey, that he has commanded his name to be struck out of the army list for ever; and has like-wise ordered, that the Major should be reprimanded for accepting a challenge from an inferior officer. We presume, on this principle, that a subaltern may be replaced in the service, without any material injury to the public, but a commanding officer—
Extract of a letter from Dublin, April 24. The Grand Jury of the city of Dublin, in conjunction of their fellow-citizens, have addressed his Excellency the Marquis of Buckingham on the alarming prevalence of spirit-drinking; they very justly state, that for the remedy of an evil so fatal to industry and morality, and at the same time so general and inveterate, their private endeavors must be insufficient, without the assistance of government, and the co-operation of law. They observe, that the abolition of the use of spirituous liquors is a reformation most devotely to be wished. A general and well-founded apprehension of its prevalence in the metropolis—and it is to be hoped will extend to every part of the kingdom. The present moment is favorable, and it followed up spiritedly, we may expect to see this abominable and ruinous vice cut up root and branch—we may expect to see the murderous and immoral policy abandoned, or receiving a revenue on the destruction and debauchery of the people. There is no impracticability in the measure; it has been accomplished in England, where, prior to the gin act, the woful effect of spirits might be seen in the emaciated countenance—the nasty appearance, and tattered apparel of the lower orders of the people. Will it be said that what has been accomplished in England cannot be effected here? Surely not. Put spirits out of the reach of the people, and they must assuredly resort to that wholesome beverage, beer. But it is not easy to conceive why the revenue should decrease, if the use of spirits decreases. Are not whisky, ale, and porter, made of the same material, malt? and what should prevent an excise from being as productive in one process as the other? The industry of the people is the true wealth of any State—any practice that tends to lessen it, must be considered as ruinous; the practice of spirit-drinking has this mischievous tendency, and it should therefore be condemned and hunted out of society upon every principle of prudence, humanity, and sound policy.

BRACHYGRAPHY.
MR. SARGENT, A TEA Master Teacher at the PRINCE OF WALES'S MILITARY ACADEMY at Kensington, near London, proposes to give a course of instructions in SHORT HAND WRITING, after the method of Mr. Gwynn, in this city.
Of the utility of the art to Gentlemen of the LEARNED PROFESSIONS, nothing needs be asserted, nor of the superiority of this system to any other; a system known to be in general estimation wherever the English language is spoken; and to unite the different excellencies of EXPEDITION and LEGIBILITY; a system, the result of FIFTY years PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE in the different Courts of Judicature, &c. and now reduced to such a degree of perfection as to be scarcely capable of further improvement.
A convenient room for the pupils is already engaged, and the hours of attendance will be made agreeable to the pupils. The theory and practice will each consist of SIX LESSONS. The cost ONE GUINEA, or HALF A JON from those who are waled upon at their houses. As Mr. Sargent's avocation in the city of Philadelphia requires his return in twelve or fourteen days, he fears himself that the Ladies or Gentlemen who intend to honor him with their attendance, will be as early as possible in their application.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the Subscribers are opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's.
Her after he will be able to give general satis- faction to those who may please to employ him, (eg- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join unmerited additions to the sum laid down on the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approval and encourage- ment of the inhabitants of this city.
1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, at the front of which will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To well sweep every chimney, in such man- ner, as that every chimney shall be kept nearly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi- red) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to keep the chimney by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people below, going to this of- fice, and if the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the best of his general sub- sidiary, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The above taking merits the greatest attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the above place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATTERSON.
