A short Extract of M. VAILLANT's curious description of his journey from the CAPE of GOOD HOPE, into the Inland parts of CAPHARIA.
HE set out from the Cape with three waggons, drawn each by 10 oxen. Several dogs, a cock, and a monkey followed him. He had in his equipage 300 pounds of shot, and powder in proportion. Ten Hottentots, whose language M. Vaillant understands, accompanied him. He had plenty of provisions, and a great quantity of brandy. He and his retinue travelled through the different sovereignties of that country without any danger. The hords of the natives he met with afterwards, received him with cordiality, and often put themselves under his protection. They are wandering cafts , quitting those parts of the country they can no longer subsist upon, and settling at a great distance wherever they find it suitable to their purpose. He often was forced to cut his way thro' marshy places, and thick woods, and in the interior part of that wild country, he had an opportunity to examine a troop of elephants, which one of his Cafarian guides discovered from the top of a hill. One of these elephants was separated from the others, and M. Vaillant, by going a little aside towards him, with proper precaution, viewed him at leisure. Had he not seen him moving his head, he would have taken him for a rock. He shot at him in the forehead, and killed him on the spot. He had taken the precaution to have many of the small branches of trees, and other bushes and briars ready to be set fire to, before he let his gun off, knowing that elephants will fly with uncommon terror from fire. Our Dutch naturalist, to be out of danger, had sheltered himself at the foot of a rock, opposite to which the elephants all passed, in running from the fire. From thence he killed five more of them.
M. Vaillant has remarked that the lion, when not very hungry, runs away from man; one of them, however, bolder than the rest, dared to stop and look fiercely at him: He did not appear dismayed, but sedately keeping his eyes upon him, determined the king of animals to retreat. The ingenious traveller had a cock along with him to rectify his watch in case of any accident, and a monkey to serve him as a taster of the meats and fruits he should be tempted to eat. This was an excellent precaution to avoid the danger of being poisoned. These two animals were both at liberty. The cock followed, picking up his sustenance as he went along; and the monkey would now and then, when tired, get upon one of the great dog's backs, who seemed particularly attached to him. This journey lasted five years. M. Vaillant has brought a rich and rare collection of samples into Europe. He has seen and examined, in the considerable parts of Africa he has visited, regions and objects hitherto unexplored by any European travellers.
From the ALBANY GAZETTE.
WE give the name of ADVENTURERS to those, who, neglecting the occupation for which fortune seems to have designed them, and, most commonly deserting the spot in which she has placed them, aspire to move in a higher sphere, and who rarely become stationary before the actual accomplishment or the utter defeat of their design.
This spirit of adventure spreads epidemically among us, and will probably multiply, far beyond the extent of beneficial computation, an order of men, perhaps no less obnoxious, than (if not too numerous) useful to the people. Little farther need be offered to strengthen this presumption, than merely to observe, that almost every Counsellor at Law, within the limits of Albany, presides over no less than a trio of hopeful laborers in his vineyard: so that at a moderate calculation, the succeeding year will double, perhaps treble the number of practitioners, though the bar is already thronged beyond the bounds of its capacity. This inordinate increase must indeed be attributed to a too copious inundation of literary adventure, for they are, I think, equal at least in point of numbers with the natives of the place; I mean such of them as are engaged in the same pursuit, that the aggregation of this new class of citizens does not bring with it a concurrent accession of benefits, cannot in reason be disputed. To advocate it on the ground of a necessary succedaneum to the customary set of lawyers, would be to argue an annual mortality of the whole. Besides we hazard nothing in saying, for I presume no one will contradict it, that every place, as well peopled as ours, generally contains within itself a fund from whence may be supplied the usual desideratum of gentlemen alike able and disposed to pursue every branch of liberal employment. But as this adventurous humor has been and is still productive of an increase in the number, so an increase of number causes a change in the conduct of our candidates for the advocacy. It has given rise to an over hasty precipitancy in providing the stock of preparatory knowledge founded on the quickening idea of seizing on the avenues to business before they are best by a multitude of rivaling occupants. Impelled therefore, by perhaps the most stimulating of motives, the advancement of present interest, they pass a clerkship of no longer continuance than three years, apply for an examination, go through the forms of one, are admitted without scruple, and commence pleading combatant.
Time and figures then become the criterions of legal acquirements; for the degree of proficiency in the knowledge of the profession (as if it were the object of a mathematical analysis) is usually pronounced of requisite extent immediately upon the expiration of the clerical triennium. Deduct from it one of the years at least, as necessarily employed in the "drudgery of servitude and the manual labor of copying the trash of an office," as a period of mental inactivity—a total suspension of thought and reflection—an uncultivated state in the field of improvement, and the remaining two must be made to answer the same or a similar end, with Sir John Fortescue's virgin ti anorum lucubrations. At this rate we must have arrived at the consummate perfection, of being able to compass in two years, what our ancestors could only accomplish in twenty.
In that short inadequate period, those ponderous volumes of laborious compilers, which together compose that vast, Colossian body of jurisprudence—that inexhaustible reservoir of legal learning are to be perused and reperused with indefatigable zeal, orderly digested and carefully deposited in the store-house of the memory. Can it then possibly be within the reach of any, the most Herculean, exertions to—but my readers have anticipated the reflection—a farther amplification on this head would be needless.
But does the mischief end here? unfortunately not. An excessive number of counsel may probably give rise to unwarrantable or sinister practices, both in the original procurements, and in the subsequent management, of their professional business. That it is practicable for a lawyer, to promote and create, as well as conduct, a law suit, is a proposition to which few, I believe, are disposed to dissent. Those, who are read in the history of the human heart, need not to be told, that petty
provocations, which generally cause no more than momentary spleen, frequently precipitate a man into a hasty resolve, and an immediate application for legal revenge. To pacify a mind subject to sudden irritation—to allay a small, or even reasonable discontent, is easy as surely as it is honorable. But (I fear am going to make a threadbare remark) the usual laxity of a lawyer's principle freely admits him to deal dishonorably, when uprightness would deprive him of a necessary client, and to ruin the quiet of others, when want begins to invade his own. Nor is it moreover extraordinary that litigations may owe their rise , as we see they may their progress, to an unprincipled abettor who is gifted with an inventive genius. How earnestly are a man's ears opened to audiene, when he is accosted with the apparently honest intimation of an unquestionable title to the tenement of a neighbor! How soon may he be led, by the airy prospect of a splendid recovery, artfully displayed, into all the inextricable labyrinths of costly law-forms. It would not be difficult, I think, farther to confirm this presumption by apt exemplification:—For it is not mere visionary speculation or idle conjecture—it is the rational result of serious contemplation—the substantial object of growing and well-grounded fear. Combine the characters of the gentlemen of the long robe as generally understood, with the probable greatness of their number, and the consequent division of their emoluments into diminutive portions, and if the inference drawn from thence varies materially from what has been said, I hereby release my claims to all dialectical skill. This short process will, at the same time, serve to show, that there is no less cause for apprehension, as to the mode of their conducting, than concerning their arts in fomenting prosecutions. The dexterity of a needy practitioner in protracting the period of final adjustment, for the purpose of keeping unclosed the purse of his employer, is so universally acknowledged, and has been already so amply displayed by abler pens than mine, that to dwell upon it a moment would be to incur the appellation of a plagiarist. This is indeed lately somewhat abridged, by the simplifying acts of our legislature, (to the honor of Mr. Jones and his coadjutor be it spoken) there is still room, I believe, for the agency of finesse, and the entanglements of chicane.—I shall, in this place, make one observation more:—that if the predatory definition or rather description be just, what has been said will apply peculiar force to the case of our literary adventurers; for they, like all other fortune-hunters, are seldom of the cast to abide the tardy progress of moderate success, in the pursuit of their mistresses;—the plan of their operations is generally formed from the principle of speedy acquisition . Here, then let us pause:—Let us re-trace a step or two of the ground over which we have travelled. We have seen, and I believe, by the light of the clearest conviction, that this intemperate ardor to obtain the honor or profit of a feat within the forum contentiosum , has in a measure stunted the sense of due preparation. A few terms of art—a few practical minutiae huddled together without order, must necessarily compose the brief catalogue of modern acquirements. If this crude system of education be permitted a few years prevalence, we may venture to pronounce it the cause of infinite disorder, the fertile source of general confusion. Instead of having guardians, to whose care the rights of personal security , personal liberty , and private property , may with safety be confided, we shall stand in imminent hazard of being over-run by a herd of insignificant, whose ignorance will render useless, perhaps even dangerous, a noble system of remedial and preventive justice. But I have done;—and if the violence of my censure has exceeded the bounds of moderation, be a lively conception of our probable danger, my apology. I have considered that we are likely to be led by folly, into straits, wherein we shall have to encounter Scylla on the one hand, and Charybdis on the other;—wherein, if we chance to clear the rocks of Thievery , Providence alone, may be able to save us from being shipwrecked on the quick-sands of ignorance.
WATSEY.
S A L E M, September 23. The passing over Essex-bridge will commence to-morrow. To testify the pleasure of the proprietors on the completion of the communication between Salem and Beverly, by means of this bridge (which we hope will tend both to the accommodation of the public and their emolument) they have determined to render the passing, on the first day, free of toll—to have a social and festive meeting at Leech's tavern in Beverly—and to provide a liberal entertainment for the reinforcement of the workmen, to whose industry it is owing, that this great work has been brought to its present state in less than five months from its beginning.
Essex bridge, from abutment to abutment, is 148 3/4 feet long; its breadth 32 feet; consists of 93 piers; has a draw 30 feet wide, which plays with such ease, that two boats of ten years old may raise it; a wharf extending from each side of it 60 feet; and it is to be lighted with 12 American lamps. The length of the abutments, which is not included in the above measurement is 36 feet.
Within the space of 20 miles, stand, as honorary monuments of the ingenuity and industry of the citizens of Massachusetts, three bridges, (Charles-river, Maiden and Essex) either of which for magnitude, is not equalled by any thing of the kind in America.
WORCESTER, September 25.
A number of dwelling houses, shops, &c. have been broken open and entered in the night, in different parts of this county, within a fortnight past—and from several of them pieces of plate, and other articles have been carried off. About 3 o'clock on Thursday morning last, the dwelling-house of Mr. Salisbury, in this town, was entered by breaking the cellar window, by which means the villains had access to the kitchen, where they rummaged, and carried off three silver table spoons and some other articles; the front room being locked they could not easily enter it by the door, and therefore went outside the house, and were breaking the casement by boaring, when they were discovered and hastily run off. From several circumstances, it appears that there are several of these villains lurking about, who without doubt are connected together in this diabolical business. It would be greatly conducive to the safety of the inhabitants of this county, if an association was formed of two or three men in every town in the county, who on notice given of a theft, robbery, house-breaking, &c. would immediately pursue the villains who commit the crime until they were overtaken and brought to justice. Such a plan would soon make this kind of gentry very scarce in this county; as it does in some parts of Connecticut where this method is adopted.
We give the following to our readers as a very remarkable instance of longevity in a family in this county, viz. Mr. Isaac Temple, who died in 1765, aged 86, left eight children, four sons and four daughters, all of whom are now living, and
their ages are as follows: 89, 85, 83, 81, 79, 77, 75 and 73. Six of them reside in this county, and two in Middlesex.
ALBANY, Sept. 25.
On Wednesday the 3d inst. being the anniversary of the Schenectady academy, the students and scholars were examined, in presence of the gentlemen trustees, and a very polite and respectable audience, when such specimens were given of their several improvements, as to merit the approbation of all present, and afford the most flattering prospect of the future utility of this infant seminary. The whole business was conducted with such order and decorum, as evidenced the much approved assiduity of the gentlemen teachers. After the necessary business was transacted, the trustees proceeded to adjudge the academic prizes to the following, viz. First scholar in academy, Andrew Yates—Horace class, to draw for prize—1st belt in Cæsar class, Glen Cuyler—2d prize in ditto, to be drawn for by the remaining part of the class—1st belt speaker, John B. Romelyn, 2d belt, Wm. Teller—1st belt writer, Simon Glen, 2d belt, Bastiaan Tymsele—for application and commendable deportment, Daniel Martin, English grammar and reading—the Monitor class to be divided, and each division to draw for prize. The trustees declared upon the occasion, that they were exceedingly sorry that they had it not in their power to make their bounty of merit coextensive with the number of meritorious characters.
A gentleman from Canada informs us, lord Dorchester has been heard to say publicly, that the British court was determined not to surrender the western posts, until the Americans should make full restitution to their merchants, for the losses they have sustained by the infraction of the treaty of peace on the part of the United States.—As this charge against us has not the least foundation in truth, the treaty of peace being the "supreme law of the land," and the infraction on their side, we hope, and anticipate the time (at no distant period) when America shall teach that haughty nation, that a treaty is a sacred thing, and not to be sported with and violated, as it now is by them, with impunity.

Extract of a Letter from Philadelphia, dated Oct. 1. "Our assembly have given the charges exhibited by Col. Oswald, a fair and candid hearing, in a committee of the whole house, and are unanimously of opinion, that there is no ground for an impeachment against the judges. It was decided last evening—and it was with some difficulty that his friends in the house could prevent his being severely reprov'd."
Extract of a Letter dated Paris, July 20. "It would be a gross mistake to believe that the tranquility which this country begins to enjoy is owing to violence. An army of 200,000 men cannot possibly give the law to twenty-six millions of inhabitants and we have seen that in the few provinces where the opposition was the most active, the troops were defeated by the citizens; a proof that the king's intention was not to exert his power, is, that several officers who prevented their soldiers to fire upon the people, have been advanced, and that one of them was knighted for having stopped the fury of the soldiers, who were eager to take revenge for a wound he had received. It therefore you find that we are going to be quiet, you may attribute it entirely to the good sense of the nation, who begin to be convinced that their protection lies in the king and not in the parliament. The destruction of these petty tyrants will be a blessing to this country, and the establishment of a general and national parliament, in which the people are duly represented, will render France as great in the scale of nations, as it has ever been in the most flourishing times of Lewis the XIVth. All the resources of this empire being centered in one national body, will astonish Europe perhaps in less than three years. You are on the point of completing a similar revolution in America; may it be successful—may it prove a new tie between our countries, who can never be too much united."

Specific Solution.
PROVED by experience to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease , to be had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street. The terms of ( no cure no pay ) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy, upwards of twenty persons have experienced its virtues within the last two months, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Contiguous to the Doctors, apartments are fitted up for patients. Sept. 25.
