FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE

From the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM.
And be left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow thee.
IN the reign of King Ahab, Elijah, the Tishbite, and the prophet, possessed a power, little short of the regal. Saintly, charitable, wise, and prescient, he gained the affections, and suggested the plans, of the Israelites. At that period, popular belief was strongly attached to prophecy, and popular applause surely would not only be acquired, but merited by him, whose life was given to all the duties of benevolence. It seems, that Elijah had the strongest claims upon the attention, the gratitude, and respect of his fellow-citizens. As a man, as a prophet, he had filled up the measure of usefulness. The Zidonians, though proverbially "careless and secure," had felt the chastisement of the skies, which retained their dew, and their rain, and the duty and parched region, attested the drought of years. Among this supine race, the observing prophet, had recognized an individual, a woman of Zarephath, "Looking well to the ways of her household," and providing food for her little son, oppressed by the common calamity. Her signal display of charity, at a time, when selfishness would aver, that charity itself must fail, induced the grateful Elijah to invoke miracles to her aid. The barrel and the cruse, which hunger had emptied, were perennially supplied, and the darling child of the widow, was reanimated, by the prayer of the prophet. Nor was this the only passage in his life, to excite the wonder, or secure the veneration, of his people. He had, first by ridicule, and then by experiment, confounded the worship of Baal, and restored the religion of the Jews. From that "little cloud," which a servant could not, during seven attempts, behold; and which at length, seemed minutely rising from the sea, "like a man's hand," the enlightened eyes of Elijah could discern torrents descending to water, and revive the parched grounds of Samaria. Exposed to the vengeance of Jezebel, a vindictive and powerful princess, the fugitive prophet seemed to be the peculiar care of Providence. Ready to perish, under the scanty shade of the mournful juniper, food was supplied him by angelic hands, and a celestial voice vindicated to the repining seer, the ways of heaven.
This enumeration of the peculiarities of Elijah's life and office, will not be deemed impertinent, by those who, with the Preacher, trace the context, and find the prophet by the side of the youthful Elisha. To him the reputation of the sage was notorious. He had heard his prophecies, he had witnessed their completion. He saw the venerable philosopher, invested with the double power to anoint a Syriack king, and a Jewish prophet. He must have conjectured, that the mysterious mantle of his predecessor, would soon secure to Elisha an Elijah's praise. What powerful incitements to the pride, to the ambition of a young and obscure man. How would an ordinary, how would a selfish character have been engrossed by vain speculations. "How great, how wise, how courted," he might whisper, "shall I be, about to possess the faculties of a prophet, whose fame has been resounded through Palestine, and whose mighty works are common-candidate for such an office, would have forgotten his connexions, his country, his duty, every thing, but himself. But Elisha was not so dazzled by the blaze of a prophet's glory, as to become bewildered in the paths of duty. He remembered the injunction from Mount Sinai, to honor the more immediate authors of our being. He reflected that his Parents ought to be apprised of the new dignity of their son; they would rejoice at his prospects, they would shed their benediction. Instead, therefore, of instant compliance, the dutiful Elisha pauses, reflect upon his beloved home, and the aged couple at its fire side, and makes the affectionate response in the text, "Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee.—Verily, Elisha, thou proved a good son, and I love thee more, for remembering a Mother's love, than for all thy miracles. They may pass away, but not one jot, nor one tittle of thy filial piety shall pass from remembrance. Divided Jordan, a sweetened spring, and a miraculous gush of waters, might own thy energy, but thy tender concern of thy Parents, revealed thy heart. When hearing thy pathetick request, Let me kiss my father and mother, the Cherub charities of life drew near, and wept—and smiled!
The duty implied in the text, is acknowledged by all, but I fear is felt, except by few. The habit of domesticating with parents, during our infancy and childhood, induces a mechanical affection, and an obedience of course. But when the calls of business urge us from home, the world operates as an opiate, and benumbs every filial sensibility. We leave it to the nurse to talk of the cradle, and the endearments of a mother, and to the steward to compute the sums that a father's indulgence has given, without reflecting upon the gentle offices of the one parent, or the bounty of the other. But reflection will convince any man that, generally speaking, he never found fatter friends, than his parents. Mutual interest, natural affection, and long habit, all seem to conspire to bind parents and progeny in the closest union. Nor is it a small debt we owe to them for twenty one years service. Life, its means, and Education, these are the important items of their accounts against us, and shall we carelessly forget the obligation?
When children are in their full strength, parents are commonly advanced in age. "Age hath pains to tooth," and who so proper to practice "lenient arts, make languor smile, and smooth the bed of death," as a daughter, or a son? What service more grateful, what duty more clear?
The amiable son of Sirach knew this truth well. I can add nothing to his sanction, his energy, or his tenderness. "He that honoreth his mother, is as one that layeth up treasure—and the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten. In the day of affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather."

THE RUNNER, or INDIAN TALK. [Of Savage Nations the polished European, and even American, speaks with contempt. We resort to them for examples of the fiercer passions, unconscionous that we too hate, and we revenge, but—in the silken garb of civilization! If such a novelty could be found, as a Creek or Cherokee Press, an Indian Editor might publish a paper like the following:]
ADVERTISEMENT. MONS. BELLISLE, Hairdresser, Complexionist, and Perfumer, from Esquimeaux, at the Talapoofa, dresses young men's heads for the War Dance, with or without Snakes and Feathers; he is master of the Cherokee cut, the Muskogee braid, and the Choctaw twist. He paints faces to admiration, with his genuine crow blacking; he raises the cheek bones, and affords the true rattlesnake cast to the eyes; he gives to the most squaw-faced young man, that horrid manly look so frightful to the enemy, and so pleasing to the young women. He has, at great expense, procured the genuine Hottentot, Caffrean Pease Bladder, from the Cape of Good Hope.
N. B. Mons. Bellisle was body Hairdresser to Little Billy.
Vermillion, Red and Yellow Ochre, Lampblack and other Cosmetics; Deer's leg Oil, Esqui-meaux Blubber, Bear's Grease, and other perfumery, wholesale and retail.
Extracts from the White Men's Public Talk. From the great Council Town, on the Schuylkill.
"The Old Beggars, who, was found starved to death, on a dunghill, in this city, proves to have been a soldier, who served with reputation, during the whole war, in the late continental army."
"The body of a young woman was found in the water, near a wharf in this city, with her throat cut from ear to ear. By other marks of violence on the corpse, it appears that this unfortunate young person had been first ravished, by some villain."
From our brethren of St. Tammany, at New-York.
"Yesterday was executed in this city, seven men for forgery, three for perjury, and ten for horse-stealing. As these fights are common, few persons attended."
"We hear from Black-River, North Carolina, that on Sunday, the day dedicated by white men to the Great Spirit of Love, a set battle was fought, for forty-one guineas, between Sawney Mac Broughton, and Frank ap Dowle, to the infinite diversion of a numerous collection of gentlemen and ladies. Broughton, with inconceivable dexterity, broke the jaw-bone of Dowle, and the odds were in his favour for twenty minutes, when Dowle gouged both the eyes of Broughton from their sockets, which decided the battle. The parties shook hands, and drank a quart of whiskey together, to show that they had no malice at heart."
From Charleston, South-Carolina.
"Last Sunday evening, a duel was fought in this city, between Col. Carte and Lieut. Tierce, in which the latter was dangerously wounded, and the former killed. These gentlemen were particular friends. The dispute arose about the character of an actress. The parties seemed inclined to adjust this difference amicably, but the rigid laws of honour prevented. They shook hands before they fired. The Col. has left a widow and five small children to lament his loss, which is the more inconsolable as they depended entirely upon their deceased parent for their education and support.—But the seconds say, this affair was conducted according to the strictest rules of honour."
From the Great Pond.
"The young Sachem of the Bull tribe, over the Great Lake, owes seven beavers' skins. His father, the Mad Bull, has offered to pay his debts, if the Bull Nation will give him from their hunting flock, two beaver's skins every twelve moons, until the sun and moon shall be sunk in the Swamp without borders."
"We hear from France, that our ancient brothers, the French, the friends of the Hurons, have tomahawked their chief Sachem and his Squaw, and half starved the royal papooses. They have scalped and tomahawked more men, women and children, than are in the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Missouri, and Five Nations, and all of their own tribe. It is said they made great canoes, and bound their brethren, their sisters, and their infants, with moose thongs, and then sunk them in the river, without allowing them time to sing their death song."
"Great Spirit! Those who give these accounts of themselves in their public talks, are the people who call thy red children barbarians and savages."
[Indian Editor.] Shuweggee, who visited the Great Wigwam in Philadelphia, twenty and sixteen moons ago, say it is not true, as is commonly believed, that the Big Book of the white men teaches them all that deceit, cruelty and ferocity, which they exercise one towards another; but that in one talk of it they are expressly commanded to love one another, and even to love their enemies. Tho' we apprehend from the white men's doings, that Shuweggee, not well understanding their tongue, must have mistaken this talk. No—No—Doubtless their Big Book tells them to deceive, hate, gouge, scalp, tomahawk, and murder each other.
THE MONITOR.
The first man, as the white Powwows say, was called Adam; because he was made of red earth, he was a red man. You, who are nearest to him in colour, are most excellent among his children. Do you act with the spirit of red men. The white men, who have been adopted among us, must not let the white of their faces sink into their livers; but show the tribes, that it is possible for a white skin to cover an Indian spirit.
PUBLIC SALE. To be sold, by pine knot, twenty piles of muskets, twenty bundles of pikes, twenty strings of great war horses, twenty heaps of camp kettles—taken at the fight of the Miamis, from the great white runner, St. C—r, with a curious crutch, supposed to belong to some Great Captain; also one bat horse, taken one day's journey, from the camp of the flaming warrior Wayne.
BEN. SCALPUM, Manufacturer, from England, at Lake Erie, near the Miamis, makes and sells cuttoes, scalping knives, and tomahawks, and has on hand a large quantity of brimstone matches, and seasoned pine knots, for the tormenting of prisoners.
N. B. Wanted, a young lad of good disposition, as an apprentice.
OBITUARY.
Gone to the world of Spirits, Talothetke; he was a great Cherokee warrior, had twenty scalps in his wigwam, and the cup he drank his black drink from, was the skull of a chief. His wife has dreamed twice that she has conversed with him, and is soon, therefore, to go to him; his wolf dog was sent to him yesterday.
Also, at Tuscorora, Fox Feet, the great hunter; he killed more Wauppanaughts, than Frenchmen have Frenchmen; he would dive the falls and catch a salmon; he changed the religion of his father because the Jesuit Powwow told him that St. Peter, his chief Sachem, was a good fisherman, and would teach him to take mummychog in the lakes of the moon.
MARRIAGE.
Yesterday deposited the shivers of the live oak, Ouabi, the son of the white chief, and Azakia, the daughter of Ouabi the big warrior, who many moons ago rushed into the land of Spirits, to demand of the Great Man, why he was not before called to his seat beyond the woods and waters.
DOMESTIC TALK.
Last moon, a party of the big knife, of fifty young men, came upon a Wigwam, found three young women, and four children, and barbarously murdered them.
Yesterday thirty white warriors, supposed to be Yankees, by their trail of Molasses, stole two horses from the banks of the Chataluiche. Same day, they got an old Cherokee drunk, and stole his beaver pack.
Last moon, Natowego delivered an Elegant, Spirited Talk, or Oration , in commemoration of the Bloody Massacre at Wyoming .
It is said, that at the grand council of the Mifflouri, a Shawanese chief proposed to send a large number of canoes to take possession of a certain savage Isle in the Great Lake, called Rhode-Island, to bring away some of the inhabitants, to learn them their language, and then send them some warriors to civilize them, and some powwows to teach them the true religion.
When the white prisoners, taken at St. Joseph, were carried among the men of the Bear Nation, they would not allow them to be in the same rank of man with themselves. Doubtless, said they, their ancestors were red men, as we all came from one common flock: but these creatures are whitened by disease, like the decaying leaves of the woods. They therefore painted them with red earth and coals, to make their appearance supportable to the young men and women.

Received by the ship Light-Horse, from Bristol.
The following is the Translation in the London papers of the letter of Gen. JOURDAN giving an account of the defeat of a division of his army under LEBEVRE. Our readers will perceive that it varies in some particulars from the translation before published.
ARMY OF THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE. The General in Chief, JOURDAN, to the Executive Directory.
Head Quarters, Montbauer, June 17.
"I have the honor to inform you that what I forewarned, has happened. The enemy, after having recalled from the left to the right bank of the Rhine almost the whole of their forces, the Arch-duke having encamped his army by some corps from that of Wurmser, had advanced to the Lahn with much more considerable forces than I could collect there; and profiting by their advantage in being able to move with greater expedition than I, they ascended the Upper Lahn, so that when I ordered the advanced guard to pass it on the 15th, by Wetzlar, General Lefebvre, who commanded it, was attacked by a strong corps. This brave General did not choose to retire without fighting, and a very brisk action ensued, of which I cannot yet give you the detail. I will immediately send you a report of this engagement, in which the enemy, although fourtimes stronger than General Lefebvre, lost more than he. Our loss may amount to 250 or 300 men, killed, wounded and prisoners. The number of the last is very small, and we have made a pretty good number. Four pieces of cannon remained in the possession of the enemy, who attacked the battery with incredible impetuosity; but who did not take them until after they had experienced several discharges of grape shot."
"This event would not have prevented me from attacking the enemy this day, as the army had already received orders for that purpose, if I had not been informed that there were considerable forces on my left; I did not therefore think proper to risk the safety of the army, but ordered a retreat. General Kleber retires to the Sieg, with one part of the army, and I retire to the left bank of the Rhine with the other."
"I shall repair to-morrow to Coblenz, where I will send you the particulars, and will acquaint you with the dispositions I have made. It is not possible for me to write to you at greater length to-day."
(Signed) "JOURDAN."
S. Cloud, the magnificent palace of the unfortunate Queen of France, and all the parks and royal domain, is to be sold under a National Convention title, for the trifling sum of 5,000,000. Sterling! the palace alone cost 500,000, in building, and the parks and other demesne lands amount at least to 4,000 acres!
DIVORCES.
An account has just been published in Paris of the divorces which have taken place in the capital for the last fifteen months. They amount to 5,994, of which 3,870 were demanded by the Ladies, and 2,124 by the Gentlemen!—It reflects no great honor on the good citizens of Paris, that the number of Lady-malcontents should be in the proportion of near two to one, and this notwithstanding the scarcity occasioned by the war!
A Proclamation of the French General in Chief in Italy orders the tailors of Milan to make 12,000 jackets, and 10,000 pantalettes for the French soldiers; and the municipality of that town to furnish 12,500 ells of white cloth, 13,750 ells of linen, 20,000 shirts, 10,000 pair of shoes, 5,000 pair of spatter-dashes, 2,000 hats, 2,000,000 ells of green cloth, &c. &c. for the Republican army. These requisitions are in exact conformity with the Revolutionary System. "To rob those who possess something, for the benefit of those who have nothing." Should the application of this principle become more general, there certainly can remain no Sans-Culottes in Europe.
L O N D O N, June 7.
Although the rapidity with which the French have improved their advantages in Italy, be truly alarming, and those advantages themselves truly formidable; yet to those who have read the history of the Wars waged by the French Kings, Charles the VIIIth, and Louis the XIIth, in Italy, they will afford no ground for despair.
The Alps, like the Rhine, have never yet been repassed by the French, without a diminution of force, greatly more than equivalent to any advantage obtained by the passage. Whether the establishment of a Republic in the Milanese, and the diffusion of their mad principles of Democracy, in which they seem to be busily employed, will make the modern French more successful than their Ancestors, remains to be proved.
The attempt to murder Sir Alan Garduer, on Friday night, is another proof of the great respect which the Jacobin Party entertain for the freedom of Election.

DOVER, June 6.
Last Thursday evening His Majesty's Sloop the Raccoon, Capt. Roe, fell in, about six o'clock, with two large French Gun-boats, conveying five sail of Dutch Merchantmen from Ostend to Flushing; an engagement ensued, and continued till half past eight o'clock, when the Gun-boats and three of the Convoy returned to Ostend, and escaped; the other two were captured by the Raccoon, and arrived in the Downs yesterday. It is thought the Enemy's Gun-boats must have suffered very severely in their men, as the Raccoon's guns were observed to rake them fore and aft. The Raccoon had one man wounded, and Capt. Roe received a violent contusion on his arm.
VIENNA, May 17.
At eight o'clock this morning, the Traitor Tauscher received his sentence in public, before the prison of the Etat Major. He was condemned, according to the Military law, to be degraded from his Nobility, and afterwards hanged. He at first appeared very much unconcerned; but when the Auditor (as is the custom) broke the Staff, and threw the two pieces at his feet, he began to tremble, and was so much agitated, that he was obliged to be supported in returning to prison. The execution is fixed for the day after to-morrow, at eight o'clock in the morning.
The Infant Child of Lady Jersey died last week and such is the grief of the Countesses on this melancholy occasion, that her own house has become intolerable to her, and she has therefore left it to pay a visit to her daughter, Lady Anna Lamblon, in Berkely-square. Indeed, so exquisite is her sensibility, that it is confidently said, it will be necessary for her to visit Lisbon, in order to repair the ravages which this shock has made on her health.
LEGHORN, May 6.
The 30th of last month an English Frigate arrived here, with four French vessels laden with provisions and Military equipage, which she took in the road of Vado. The Republican Troops fired on the Frigate, which answered with grape shot.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, May 18.
It was on the 11th, as we have before stated, that the advanced guard of the French army arrived at Milan. A deputation of the Municipality, with the Archbishop at their head, were sent to present the keys of the town to General Massena, who commanded this advanced guard. The following day, the tree of liberty was planted in the Square of the Cathedral; the Imperial arms were taken down, and the Inhabitants engaged to wear the National Cockade. On the 12th and 13th, more French troops arrived, and the Castle was invested. The Garrison is 1500 strong, and very well provided with provisions and ammunition. General Massena having summoned it, received a

negative reply. It is thought that the French will content themselves with blockading this Fortress. Some of their detachments having been sent beyond Milan towards Como, in all probability, to raise contributions. — We are informed, that the body of their Army has made a movement, which seems to indicate an intention of penetrating beyond the Adda, into the environs of Mantua.
County of Berks. — At the close of the fifth and last day's Poll, the number were,
Mr. DUNDAS, 1332 Mr. VANSITTART, 1332 Mr. LUVEDEN, 846
Parson Horne, alias Horne Tooke, when he talks of his Patriotism and Consistency, should recollect his former treachery to Mr. Wilkes, whom he betrayed in the most base and unprincipled manner. We shall occasionally refresh his memory on this head, and revive some few of those Anecdotes, which exhibit him in his native colours.
Citizen Hull, who lost his Election at Maidstone, is the same gentleman who was examined before the Privy Council a short time ago. — The Poor Citizens have been most cruelly treated every where.
The persevering itinerant Candidate, Citizen Waddington, gave up the contest for Hertfordshire, when he found his principles did not at all take with the worthy Electors.
Of all the various addresses to constituents which we have yet seen, that of Mr. Alderman Combe is the most strongly marked by folly, arrogance, and vanity; and exhibits an apt specimen of those exertions which are to be expected from the introduction of such a mind into the House of Commons. This modest gentleman tells the livery of London, that by electing him, they have manifested to the World, an unequivocal disapprobation of the War, and a spirit friendly to Parliamentary reform; in other words, that they have virtually retracted all their public declarations on the subject of the War, and been guilty of a complete dereliction of principle. Mr. Combe is vain enough to believe, that his wonderful abilities have made converts of all the citizens of London; and, in the phrensy of his arrogance, overlooks the trifling objection arising from the re-election of three Candidates, out of four, who have invariably supported the War, and vigorously opposed that line of politics, which he has thought proper to pursue. But, it is not at all surprising, that the extreme inconsistency of the livery, in returning a man, whose principles they had publicly and repeatedly reprobated, should have exposed them to the serious charge preferred against them by this Civic Popinjay . If they have a just regard for their own character, they will take some speedy means of convincing their new Member of his error, in as public a manner as that in which he has been pleased to propagate it.
Sir Watkin Lewes had, on the score of services, by far the strongest claim to the suffrages of the city of London; and he would have had those suffrages, if the other Candidates, who had sat with him in Parliament, had not sacrificed the cause to a narrow and selfish policy, which induced them to look only to their own individual return, and with that view, to solicit single votes. The four old Members should have joined hands in support of the cause ; they all professed to espouse, and in that case the city of London would not have been represented by a Jacobin.
EDINBURGH, June 4.
Thursday the Right Honourable the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, give an elegant entertainment at Hunter's tavern, to the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, Representative in Parliament for this City; to which a great many respectable Citizens are invited.
From Italian papers. — Translated for the Aurora.
PIACENZA, May 31.
On the 26th inst. the French made a general attack upon Beaulieu's army which extended from Verona to Roveredo and consisted of no more than 14,000 men, infantry, cavalry and the late reinforcements from Germany included; they repulsed the Austrian light-horse and compelled Beaulieu to retreat.
It is therefore believed that the Austrians crossed the Adige and took the road to Trent. They could consequently not fall in with the corps of about 30,000 Republicans of General Kellerman's army which passed through Brescia and filing along the lake Di Garda advanced through Valteline in order to reach the road of Roveredo and cut off the retreat of Beaulieu.
It is supposed that Mantua was invested after this battle. The garrison of that place does not amount to more than 7000 men, which could not find time to join Beaulieu's army after his defeat.
General Rofelmjini commands the troops in the fortress and the General of Engineers Orlandini directs the artillery. The fortress is provided with ammunition and above three hundred pieces of artillery, but provisions are very scarce. Before the place was blocked up the inhabitants sent to Ferrara for a supply of provisions; but the papal legate in that city prohibited immediately the exportation.
BOLOGNA, May 31.
The Cardinal Archbishop of this city has addressed a circular letter to all the monasteries, convents, parishes, &c. by which he, being authorised thereto by the Pope, ordains and commands, that all the church plate, gold and silver vases not indispensably necessary shall be weighed and kept ready for the use of the state.
The Archbishop exhorts the superiors, &c. of the monasteries, convents, parishes, &c. to be faithful and punctual in sending within five days, the demanded specification of all the plate, gold and silver vases existing in their respective houses.
The prelates observe here: We ought to remember that we are citizens all and every one of us. We ought therefore all to partake of the burden which divine justice chooses to inflict upon us. He concludes by assuring them that no more of the plate than is indispensably necessary, shall be taken, and that the state obliges itself to pay to the respective churches the annual interest proportionate to the intrinsic value of the plate. This circular letter is dated May 28, and signed by D. A. Car. Gionetti, Archbishop and Apostolical Legate.
MODENA, May 18.
Yesterday ten waggons laden with money set off from here for Milan, and we expect monthly 180,000 gold sequins from Leghorn, where we have sent our silver coin to be exchanged for gold; as soon as the above sum arrives, it will be immediately sent to Milan, in order to make up the full sum which must be paid by the 22 inst.
May 25.
It affords us particular pleasure to hear that the Count St. Romano, our ambassador, has met with a most gracious reception from the French. At his arrival at Piacenza, he was complimented by the French commandant, who informed him that he had orders to escort the ambassador with a picquet of buffars to Milan.
The cash and uncoined silver and gold collected in this state, amounts already to more than three millions; yet a whole million is wanting to pay the sum due to morrow morning. The necessary steps are already taken to procure the sum wanted before the time expressed, and also to procure the punctual payment of the remaining sums. Our Archbishop, the sooner to induce the clergy not to be backward in concurring to save the state, has addressed the most pressing solicitations to them.
PARMA, May 24.
The time allowed for paying the stipulated contribution to the French army, being this day elapsed, the whole sum has been remitted to the general of brigade, Cervoni, who was detained here these several days to settle that affair.
Mr. D'Azara, the Spanish Minister at the court of Rome, is arrived here, on his route to the French Head-Quarters; he is charged to negotiate a peace for his holiness.
We hear from Piacenza, that all the French troops left that city and marched to Cremona, after they had constructed a bridge over the Po, raised some redoubts, and left a sufficient garrison at Piacenza, for the defence of the bridge.
ROME, May 20.
His Holiness wishing in the present circumstances to preserve tranquillity to the states of the Church, convoked the Cardinals and other ministers of government, and agreeably to their decision, requested Mr. Nichola d'Azara, minister of his Catholic Majesty, yielding to the solicitations of the Holy Father, set out last Wednesday on his journey to the French army; he is accompanied by the Abbe Evangelisti, chief assistant to the Secretary of State.
Meanwhile the Holy Father has resolved to open the treasures of an abundant indulgence to his dearest subjects; during these holy exercises the theatres will be shut, and all kind of entertainment interdicted.
The Cardinal de Hertzan, minister of the court of Vienna, set out last Saturday for Ancona, where he will take his passage to Trieste. It is said that the British Prince, Augustus, might very well make a journey to Naples in order to take a passage for London in a vessel of his own nation.
LONDON.
LORD HOLLAND AND LORD WYCOMBE.
These are two young men, of whom the community need not be ashamed, of whom they may expect useful service, unimpaired by any disparaging qualities, too frequently the lot of hereditary wealth and station. We believe and expect that they will be good citizens, meritoriously active for the common weal.
They have been much together while abroad; and they did not separate until Lord Holland was returning home.
Lord Holland arrived in the last Hamburg packet, and he came to London on Saturday. Lord Lansdowne, among other friends, came to town to meet him, and yesterday he was at Lansdowne House. He is a fine young man, and fortunately for him, he seems very like his uncle Charles. Accomplishments, manners, temper, and we think countenance too, indicating that temper cannot easily have more praise. Thus Lord Holland seems, and thus we hope he will be.
"Nor blame us, if we check the plausive firing! "Go to the wryward world — confirm the rest "Be what the purest mile would wish to sing."
Lord Wycombe, better occupied, stays behind in happier scenes! in a country where unaccustomed with the blasting, all-destroying guilt and mischief of corruption, there has not been a war for above two hundred years!
This instructive delicious country is the Swiss Republic!
Lord Wycombe is at Coper, the residence of Mr. Neckler! where the lake of Geneva uprising against the garden wall, Mont Blanc, and the highest Alps down to Dauphine in the distance, magnificent as they are, seem to shrink on a comparison with the objects in the imaginary perspective! where with Voltaire at one end of the lake and Rousseau at the other, amidst the concurring energies of Haller, Eulet, Barnouellet and Mautertius, the mind advances to the more popular scenes of the Democratic Cantons, where William Tell and his associates, rid their country of all the hideous horrors from dull, destructive German despotism; where William Tell and his associates followed by centuries of not unworthy successors, continue to illuminate and cheer the world! with the divine demonstrations of truth!
A man, who is desirous to see another abused, has only to wish that his enemy would be a candidate for a seat in Parliament, and if the election is contested, he may depend upon being gratified by every species of merited censure or unjust reproaches.
A gentleman, who offered himself for a borough in Yorkshire, was so much impressed with the expectation of being reviled, that previous to going upon the hustings, he assumed a very serious face, and asked his Lady, if she had ever been false to his bed? On her expressing some surprise at the question, he begged she would be frank in her answer, and added, "whether you have or not, I shall hear of it on the hustings."
This country gets more and more polished every year: a short time since there was a masquerade at Wrexham in North Wales. A short waist is graceful and feminine; but the folly of extremes has of late allowed no waist at all! the corset should be worn three inches below the present fashion; our beauties are now literally in a sack .
ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.
A common expression with some old members, soliciting their constituents to re-elect them, is, that they are tried servants of the public; some might say with truth, that they have not only been tried, but ought to be convicted.
One of our Stationers modestly enough advertises a Freehold Estate, possessing a desirable contingency, too well known, and too highly estimated, to require comment or description ; but another, in plain English, informs the public that the sale of a seat in Parliament for the borough of —, is unavoidably postponed!
It is said that there are two persons now alive who voted at the election of members to serve for the borough of Southwark in the last triennial Parliament. A Sir John Lad was then their member, and upon this occasion a Quaker observed, "we sent a Lad upon an errand for three years, and he staid seven."
When Sir Robert Walpole had any material point to carry in the House, he was accustomed to ask those Members who were his friends to sup with him on the preceding evening, and no Minister ever poured out more copious libations to Bacchus, than he compelled his visitors to swallow. A friend once asked him, on what principle he drenched them so unmercifully? "With the same view that your basket-weavers sleep their oaths the day before they work them up; that they may bend the easier."
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, August 19.
Saturday arrived here, his Britannic Majesty's Packet Halifax, Capt. Stanhope, 8 weeks from Falmouth. — She brings London papers to the 21st of June (one day later than by the Adelaide) but they contain nothing of consequence.
The Thistle and Topaz, British frigates, were cruising off the Hook on Friday.
RUTLAND, (Vermont) August 15.
On Tuesday last died in this town, Mr. JAMES KIRKPALDIE, aged 26, late printer of the Rutland Herald. Mr. Kirkpaldie was born and educated at Edinburgh, and came to New-York but a few years ago. From November 1793 he has had the care of the Printing Office in this town. Labouring under a complication of diseases, he was obliged to give up the business of his profession in May last, and attend to the recovery of his health. Every method of relief proving unavailing, the powers of nature have been gradually wasting; the springs of life ceased to flow, and he fell asleep August 10. His relations and friends at New-York, are hereby informed that he has uniformly sustained the character here, of an able and faithful printer, of an upright man, and of a serious christian. Every attention was paid to him during his sickness, that his situation required: and on Wednesday his remains were committed to the dust, with a decency and solemnity suited to the occasion, and expressive of respect to his memory. He has left a sorrowful widow, two young children, and many friends here to lament his death.
NEW-LONDON, August 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Port Independence, (alias Conequoght) in New-Connecticut, dated July 5, 1796, to his friend in Lyme. "I arrived here yesterday, 5 o'clock, P. M. in company with forty-seven men and two women, fifty in all. I was in the front party, walking the beach with three of my brother surveyors, and an agent and two hands; having arrived at the well line of Pennsylvania, we took a stand at the first point of the reserve, and gave three cheers for New-Connecticut; we then came on two miles to this place, and at 6 o'clock our boats and cattle arrived, and a salute of fifteen guns, to commemorate independence, was fired, and a volley for New Connecticut, and a number of toasts drank with great cheerfulness. The first toast, given by Gen. Cleveland, was Port Independence, which is to be the future name of this place. It is a creek, and has a smart current, tho' now uncommonly low, and is a secure harbour for boats, and generally admits four or five feet of water, and is a most noble mill stream. The shore of Lake Erie, where I walked yesterday for twenty miles, is the best watered with springs of good water of any country I ever saw; no part of New-England is its equal. The land here is most beautifully interperfected with hill and dale: the shagbark, English walnut, cherry, maple, and all kinds of oak, sassafras, elm, beech and chestnut trees, are very plenty, and all the vegetation most luxuriant. We are now preparing our instruments, and shall traverse a few miles of the lake this day, and to-morrow the whole gang of surveyors will set out to run down the Pennsylvania line, and parallels of five miles distant back to the lake. The only savages hereabouts are from twenty to thirty of the Missisago or Ottawa nation; but they do not pretend to claim any land south of this lake, and appear to be peaceably inclined. The geographical stories of serpents here, are most delusive lies; for in traversing about 150 miles of this shore, I have seen no more than two striped and three speckled snakes, and those very small."
Thomas Starr, of Middletown, stabbed Samuel Crowell of that place a few days past, and he is since dead of his wounds. The assassin is committed to prison.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Editor of the Sunbury and Northumberland Weekly Advertiser, in his paper of the 16th ult. has published an account of the celebration of the anniversary of our Independence at Sunbury with several curious Toasts , drank on the occasion, among which is the following —
"14th. May the Yankees who are now invading our territories meet the fate of Whiskey boys, (3 cheers.)"
It will be hardly necessary to remark that the Yankees alluded to are the inhabitants of Luzerne county, who purchased and began the settlement of the territory said to be invaded more than 40 years ago. How well a toast of that malignity fits the anniversary of liberty I will not pretend to decide; but I shall run no hazard in remarking that it was perfectly congenial with the spirit of the company, and such a toast as one might suppose would be drank by a horde of speculators, drunken surveyors, land discoverers and mountain-jellers at Sunbury.
The editor, with his usual correctness and elegance, concludes his account in these words: — "About sunset the musicians embarked on board a sail-boat and played some delightful pieces of music as they sailed upon the Susquehanna; among which was noticed with peculiar pleasure, the old favorite Yankee Doodle ". It will not be doubted that this tune was more comfortable and more delightful to a Sunbury audience on that merry occasion, than it had been to them on more solemn ones, when played by the Tankees themselves. This tune like the muse of Orpheus hath performed wonders. Plunket and his Northumberland militia felt its captivating power, and marched en regattade to its music; and recently, did the aspiring whiskey poles of Northumberland prostrate themselves before a company of Tankees at the sound of this " favorite " tune.
Let it be recollected that these sons of mirth who are now so anxious to bring the Tankees and Whiskey-boys in one fate, were lately the most turbulent opposers of our government; so that it became necessary to send a company of Tankees from Luzerne, to reduce them to order; and that it was expedient too, for the Governor of New-Jersey, with some of his light-horse, to do them the honor of a visit on his return from the westward — Nay, so zealous were these people in the whiskey cause, that they indicted their chief military officers for reading the riot act and proclamation to the mob!
