The Constitutional Gazette; AND  Republican Courier. The Subscriber respectfully offers to the Public, proposals for a Newspaper, under the title of the Constitutional Gazette; and Republican Courier. It is intended to be published three times a week in the city of Philadelphia; viz. on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. The subscription will be five dollars per annum, half to be paid by subscribers in the city when called for. The difficulty of collecting small sums in the country, renders it necessary to ask the subscription, out of the city, to be paid in advance, or the name of a person in Philadelphia who will pay them regularly. Although the proposed Newspaper will be of a smaller size than the unhandsome sheets now generally in use, it will contain as much as the generality of the daily Gazettes. It is expected that a very small portion of it will be occupied by advertisements, which will occasion an unusual quantity of intelligence and information. It will be published in the quarto form, and regularly paged, to render it convenient for binding in volumes, to each of which an index will be attempted. The principles intended to be supported, are those of the Federal and State Constitutions. The friends of the tranquility, peace and happiness of this country, may rely on a calm, decent and firm adherence to those valuable Republican codes. The Editor is unwilling to make large promises, but he affures his friends and the public, that he has ground to rely on important literary and political contributions from various sources. Without such an expectation, he would not have undertaken, at this time, to publish a new Gazette. He believes the Press to be the noblest instrument in the command of Freemen, and he flatters himself that The Constitutional Gazette will not be found among the most exceptionable, nor among the least useful. Subscriptions are received by the different booksellers, and at the subscriber's office, No. 90, South Third street, at which place the Weekly Magazine continues to be published. EZEKIEL FORMAN. Philadelphia, March 23d, 1799.

Cast-India News. FROM PAPERS RECEIVED BY THE GEORGE BARCLAY, CAPT. M'ALLISTER.
CALCUTTA, August 20. A variety of reports have been in circulation during the past week, of the hostile designs of Tippoo Sultan. A letter is said to have been intercepted, addressed by him to the Executive Directory of the French Republic, in answer to certain proposals made on their part, in which he agrees to join them in hostilities against the British in India, on condition of their furnishing him with a certain number of European officers, and a squadron of men of war, which are to rendezvous at Mynalore. We give this merely as the report of the day, without vouching in any degree for its authenticity. Private letters from Madras mention, that an army of observation has been directed to assemble in the Carnatic, and if Tippoo has any serious intention of hostility, we have no doubt, from the great vigilance and energy of the present government, that we will be fully prepared to meet him. There has been no arrival in this port during the past week; we may, however, reasonably expect the arrival of the Worcester and Princess Charlotte very soon. It is imagined, from the non-arrival at Madras of the remainder of the fleet of Indianmen, in company with whom the Princess Charlotte failed from England, that they have put into Rio de Janeiro, for refreshments. Rear Admiral Rainer, the officers and men of his majesty's squadron have voluntarily subscribed one month's pay for the assistance of Great-Britain in the continuance of the war.
We can collect nothing from our Poona correspondence that throws any light upon the real situation of Scindea; one circumstance, however, has taken place, that would be accounted extraordinary in any other than their changeable politics. Nanna Furnavee, who upon the last shifting of the scene was observed to be transported, a State Prisoner, to the Fortresses of Ahmednuggur, where it was supposed he would languish the remaining years of life; is defined to appear once more upon the stage. The Old Minister has withdrawn from his confinement on the 17th inst, and at the date of our accounts was encamped under the custody of a thousand horse and three or four battalions, commanded by Fackerjee Ghadavah between the Villages of Kutterabad and Mundavunny. Report alleges that a superior force belonging to the Peshwa, is gone against Fackerjee Ghadavah, to rescue Nanna from the power of Scindea. There are accounts also, that Pueram Bhow, by the aid of Rashea, has escaped from his confinement, and is at the head of some thousand horse in the neighbourhood of Whyes.
Extract of a letter from Cawnpore, dated 22d August, '98. "Nothing but war is breathed here, tho' I am of opinion that we shall be all very peaceable yet—a report came from Lucknow yesterday, that Zemaun Shaw had been murdered by his uncle, but the truth of this is doubted.—Almas All Khan is certainly at the point of death, and the Nabob's troops are ready to take possession of his effects as soon as he expires."
Our latest advices from Poona, mention confidently, that a very considerable force has actually entered the Murratta territories and that a much larger body of troops, was preparing with the utmost expedition at Hyderabad, at the head of which the minister Mushire ul Mulk, would himself take the field.—Col. Finglas, an officer lately in the Murratta service, and at present in that of Nizam Ally Khan, is also to be employed on this service, with a body of troops that he has raised within these last twelve months in the vicinity of Hyderabad, said to amount to about eight thousand men. His highness the Nizam Ally Khan, being too old and infirm for military achievements, will take up his residence in the castle of Golcondah, where he and his immense treasures, will be carefully guarded by the Bengal detachment under Col. Hyndman.
Nanna Furnavee, whom we mentioned in our last, having been arrived within twelve coils of Scindea's camp; under charge of major du Prat, has since reached Scindea's camp, under a very strong escort. We have not been able to ascertain the reason of Nanna Furnavee's having been sent for—whether Dowlut Row Scindea means to avail himself of Nanna's talents, in some mediatory negotiation, one being at present on the tapis between Scindea and the Peshwa, or to work on the Nanna's fears in order to extort money from him, it is not certainly known. Dowlut Row Scindea, is represented to be in the utmost distress for want of money, nor is it at all probable that Nanna will be induced to supply him with any.
Extract of a letter from Poona. "Notwithstanding the formidable preparations, both in Scindea's camp, and that of Emeret Row, the latter of which is to be reinforced by the Nizam's detachment, yet the general opinion that prevails here, is that the business will end in a negotiation, as being more congenial to the disposition of the Murrattas; and as the preliminary step it is reported that Nanna Furnavee is to be set at liberty; that a considerable supply of cash is to be advanced to Scindea, in order to satisfy the pressing demands of his troops, and that he is then immediately to quit the vicinity of the capital.—How far these reports are well founded, it would be difficult to say, nor indeed can I hazard a conjecture, how matters will be terminated; but whether it is ended by negotiation or
resource is had to the sword, you will soon hear from Yours &c. [Bomb. Gaz.] September 17.
By letters from the Barrambaul district we are informed, that Tippoo Sultan, with a considerable army, was encamped near Bangalore, but had not evinced any hostile motion—it being the season in which he reviews the army stationed in that part of his dominions. A small body of Frenchmen was attached to the Sultan's army, but are represented to be in so unhealthy a state, that considerable numbers had died, and the disease had not ceased when the accounts left the Sultan's camp. October 19. On Friday last accounts were received in town, of the safe arrival in the river of the Dart, Captain John Butler, from the coast of Pedler. By this ship we learn, that while she was at the Island of Rorneo, a small prow arrived and gave them some information regarding two large French frigates that had failed through the Straights of Macassar. These can be no other, than the La Forte and Prudente, with Dutch pilots on board, bound to Manila and the China seas: we trust, however, the force in that quarter, will fully answer every purpose of protecting our trade, and of giving these republicans a hearty drubbing.
October 23. The intelligence respecting the expedition against Egypt, by the French government received at Bombay from Suez, by the Panther cruiser, which was submitted to our readers on Thursday last, is very unsatisfactory, and we fear it will be some considerable time before we obtain any correct information on the subject, as the usual season for vessels leaving the gulph for India we understand, was nearly expired when the Panther left it. We are happy, however to learn, that a very strict examination of the officers and passengers in the Panther has been made by the Bombay government, and that from the information obtained, there is very strong reason to credit the report of the destruction of the French fleet, in the roads of Alexandria, by an English Squadron.
Whether the French government meditate any thing further than the possession of Egypt, by the expedition to Alexandria, time will shew;—if their intention is to make a passage to India by that route, they will find difficulties to surmount, probably beyond their expectations; for, admitting that they can make good their way to Suez, (which, we understand, is a very doubtful point) and there obtain vessels to bring them down the Gulph even to Mocha, they can proceed no further, unless they can command a superior naval force to the English; as two frigates stationed in the Straights of Bab-el-mandel, would completely prevent their passage into the Arabian seas;—and any attempt to come by land must be impracticable.
October 19. The ship Cornwallis, Captain Robertson, arrived at Madras from hence on the 4th current, as did also the American ship Sansom on the 6th. Letters of recent date received from the Eastward, mention that the French frigates La Forte and Prudente, passed through the Straights of Macassar on the 37th July last, supposed to be bound either to Manila or China.
Letters of recent date, from Puddy Ghur, of respectable authority, mention that Zemaun Shaw, so far from being active in the long threatened invasion of Hindostan, was, by the latest advice, quietly seated in his capital, without any apparent intention of leaving it.
November 2.  PROCLAMATION. Whereas the security and defence of this Presidency require that the corps of militia, composed of the inhabitants of the town of Calcutta should be re-established and embodied under such regulations as the Right Honorable the Governor General in Council shall order and direct. His Lordship in Council relying on the loyalty and public spirit of the inhabitants of the town of Calcutta, hereby orders and directs all the European, Armenian, and Portuguese inhabitants of the said town, to assemble on the Walk between Chandpaul Ghat and Fort William, to be there duly mustered and enrolled.
The Europeans to assemble at the aforesaid place on Wednesday the 7th. The Armenians on Thursday the 8th, and The Portuguese on Friday the 9th of November, at day-break; and the proper officers are hereby commanded to attend, for the purpose of mustering and enrolling such persons as shall appear and tender their services, according to the tenor of his proclamation.
The following is extracted from a letter, dated the Isle of France, August 14, 1798. If any evidence were yet wanting, to show the fallacy of French principles, we presume this letter, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted, would be conclusive, since it proves that the levelling system, or liberty, and equality, as it is called, wherever established, invariably produces anarchy and confusion, rapine and injustice. The rights of nations are every where invaded by these levellers; the protection that a neutral vessel heretofore obtained, is now denied at the Mauritius—the administration of justice is become a mere mockery, and the governor so far from possessing any authority, is compelled to function by his signature, the most fraudulent acts.
"A few hour after your departure from Batavia, the Orion (an American vessel) weighed, and after a disagreeable passage arrived here on the 13th of last month; the reports at Batavia were so unfavorable to our getting hands, that we thought it best to proceed with the few we had; three or four getting sick on the passage, we found it would be madness to attempt doubling the

Cape, with so small a crew, and therefore put into this place to recruit our strength. We found here the Elizabeth and India, American ships from Batavia—they had met with a severe gale of wind; the India was dismasted, and the Elizabeth with much difficulty reached the port; she was in consequence deemed unfit for sea, and sold for the benefit of the underwriters. The Ganges sprung a leak, just after she left Java head, and compelled to put in here to rest; but she has, however, been seized, on account of having fired at a privateer on her passage out, and condemned as a lawful prize. The Catherine Maria (Randal's ship) is seized for debt. One of the Danish Company's ships brought in here by a privateer, to the amazement of every one, after having been acknowledged a true Dane, by both their courts of justice or rather injustice, will get little or no damages, although detained between two and three months. The governor or Bowdoin, an American ship was arrested and tried in the first court, where she was unanimously cleared; the captors applied to the court of appeals, and by the help of about 10,000 dollars got her condemned; in fact nothing comes amiss to them; they have seized the Orion, because she was in company with the Ganges, when she fired at the privateer; they have interrogated all the seamen, and can find nothing against her, yet they still say that the ship and cargo are English property, and I make no doubt in the end will condemn her. The governor and intendant declare, that they believe no part of either the Orion or her cargo belongs to the enemies of France, but they can do nothing, being obliged to sign every thing that is brought to them.
"It is reported that those in power have a ship ready to carry them and their ill begotten riches away, as soon as peace is proclaimed. The Woodcoate and Raymond are here—I often look at them with sorrow. I cannot at present say, should the Orion be condemned, what I shall do, but most likely shall return to India, although it is not impossible I may proceed to Europe."
"I believe the frigates la Vertue, la Seine, and la Sybelle, are returned to Europe; two are on the look out, and la Forte undergoing a repair; there are three privateers, the Apollo, l'Uni, and Le Cochon; l'Uni is a large privateer from Europe, and on the look out; the Apollo falls to day."
About the 20th and 21st ultimo, a very heavy and severe gale of wind was encountered by the ships in Balafore Roads. An American inward bound and a Muscat ship, are reported to have been dismasted; and for some days apprehensions have been entertained for the Abercromby pilot schooner—letters, however, received yesterday, from Drumond Harbor, state her arrival there on the preceding day, with considerable damage from the late hurricane.
MADRAS, October 17. Accounts from Ramnad, mention that the Pandamcouchy Poligar having exhibited symptoms of disaffection, it has been determined to seize his person whilst at his Cutcherry. The attempt, however, had failed—the Poligar having effected his escape, after killing colonel Martineux's adjutant, and two or three Sepoys, who had attempted to secure him. Several of the Poligar's party were also killed or wounded.

ALEXANDRIA, March 21. At a court continued and held for Fairfax county, the 19th day of March, 1799.
PRESENT— Charles Broadwater, Robert T. Hooe, Charles Little, William Payne, John Fitzgerald, Benjamin Dulany, Richard Conway, George Minor, William Herbert, Richard B. Lee, Charles Alexander and Richard Ratcliffe, gentlemen justices.
The clerk presented to the court a packet, received from the executive of Virginia, addressed to the justices of Fairfax, containing sundry resolutions of the general assembly, in the nature of an address to the people; whereupon it is
Resolved, That the court of Fairfax county, conceiving themselves appointed for the purpose of executing the laws, and to do impartial justice to all and every class of men, thing it highly improper in them to have any thing to do with either party in the house of representatives, either by distributing their resolutions or addresses.—Knowing this to be their duty, they return to the executive of this state the several printed pamphlets directed to them; and the court do order their clerk to enclose them directed to the governor and council, and to be sent to Richmond by the first safe opportunity.
George Minor, Gentleman, directed his dissent to be entered to the foregoing resolution.

The article respecting Captain Williams, of the sloop of war Norfolk, copied into this Gazette of yesterday, from a New-York paper of the 25th instant, is unfounded.
A few days before captain Williams failed, general Desfournaux's secretary arrived at St. Kitts, for the purpose of inducing captain Truxton to restore the insurgent. He told captain Truxton, that if he was not delivered up immediately, gen. Desfournaux would give orders to the French cruisers to capture all American vessels without discrimination. Captain Truxton answered, that he acted in perfect obedience to the orders of his government, and that no other power would induce him to give up his prize. The secretary then made use of promises and entreaties; and, at length finding captain Truxton inexorable, he left him, muttering imprecations against the Americans, and returned to Guadalupe.

FENNO, IN the Aurora of this morning it is asserted, that a member of the Board of Overseers of the Poor, on Monday last, gave, as a toast, "The King of Great Britain, the only friend to order and good government"—this is false. The toast was, "The King of Great Britain, the only supporter of order and good government in Europe"—for the correctness of which, an appeal is made to every gentleman then present. The insignificant wretch who could abuse the hospitality of the overseers, by giving to the editors such a misstatement, is beneath their notice, and will receive that contempt which he deserves.

Extract of a letter from Northampton, dated March 23.
"With respect to the general disposition of the people in this county, it is very difficult for me to obtain such information upon which I can form a correct opinion. Many do not view the affair at Bethlehem to amount to any crime at all, but believe the act was perfectly right, inasmuch as the object was in defence of liberty; others again believe that they have gained a complete victory over government, and that henceforth they will not be troubled for the payment of taxes. Others believe that government will not be able to bring a large body of men to act against them; because, say they, every body thinks as we do, except a few d—d Tories in Easton. For my part, I trust government will judge of the business as is right and not look upon it as a contemptible thing. Should a small number of men be sent to support the Marshal in the execution of his duty, and they should meet with the least check, then it will become a serious piece of business to us few that firmly adhered to the government. In such a case, a large number who from fear, have for the present remained neutral, will at once declare themselves for the rebels, and become active in the cause of sedition. ***** it is true, have been in the county, preaching (as it is said) submission to the laws; but I doubt whether the impression, if any was made, will be lasting. Some people, I am told, begin to swear at them, and say they have all turned Tories since they went to Philadelphia, because they tell a different story now from that which they told at the election."
"In Mount Bethel township, a number of persons met to consult whether captain Pries was right or wrong in what he had done. They were divided in opinion; their Colonel and a Captain proposed waiting on Gen. Brown, and to hear his sentiments, before they came to a conclusion. The meeting was then adjourned to another time, to receive the report from the General. The messengers, the Colonel and Captain, waited on him; he recommended submission to the laws—this they reported. The clamorous part of them then suspected that the General, Colonel, and Captain, were all turned Tories, or would turn, and therefore, should not be trusted!"
"K believes, because he was told so, that Congress have empowered the President to borrow as much money as he pleases, and to mortgage any, or all of the states, for the payment! that he will surely mortgage Pennsylvania first, because it is the richest! and that when he has got all the money he will run off to England, buy himself a lordship, and marry one of his daughters into the royal family!!"

From the Virginia Gazette.
MR. DAVIS, IT is with reluctance that I appear in a newspaper.—Observing in yours of the 8th inst. a publication of William B. Giles, esq. in answer to one of major Nelson's of 24th January, I am compelled to publish the following facts respecting a conversation which passed at my house, and which has been the cause of these publications. After much had been said respecting the reports of the secretaries of the treasury, war, and navy, and condemned by Mr. Giles, as he acknowledges; Mr. Giles, rising to leave the company, said (without any reserve) I am clearly for a separation, and hope it will take place. A gentleman present, getting up to go away also, said, I am damn glad old fellow, to hear you say so, it has been my wish these three or four years past. Mr. Giles replied, it is a late opinion of mine, and I hope it will take place. A third gentleman in company (whose political opinion, generally coincide with the before mentioned) declared he differed from them, that he did not wish a separation: This gentleman had made the same declaration in the early part of the conversation, and mentioned having received a letter from a friend of his, (a member of Congress) in answer to one he had written to him (and expressed a wish he had brought it with him to Richmond) wherein was the opinion on this subject, of a person who is held in the highest estimation, by those who have generally disapproved of the acts and measures of the legislative and executive of the federal government, who in his says, be by no means approves of a separation, that it cannot be long before there will be a majority in Congress, who will think with them, that the increasing population of the southern states must produce this effect. I have been thus particular in stating the above conversation, supposing it may bring to the recollection of the gentlemen, who were present, the precise words that passed on this occasion. I declare most solemnly, I believe, what I have here stated, to be the very words made use of at the aforesaid time, and by the aforesaid persons—This I am sure of, that it was the express meaning of what did pass; and I trust those to whom I have the pleasure of being known, will credit this assertion. I think Mr. Giles perfectly correct in saying, there is no person who can believe, he would enter into a confidential and treasonable conversation with me. I thought it neither one or the other, and therefore supposed there could be nothing improper in it; on the contrary, I believed, from the manner of his expressing himself at the time, he would certainly have supported this opinion and particularly since those obnoxious measures (as he thinks them) and which were the cause of the conversation, have substantially been adopted.
I am, Sir, Your obedient humble servant, LEWIS BURWELL. Richmond, March 16, 1799.
The above communication of Lewis Burwell, whose veracity is unquestionable, merits the most serious attention. The tenor of Mr. Giles' conduct in Congress and his associates in politics is known to have been such, as naturally to produce disunion; and it will have excited no surprise that he should have expressed his wish for a separation. Reasonable men reviewing the unremitting exertions, for the last seven years, of the Virginia members in both houses of Congress to prevent a due and efficient exercise of the powers of the general government, have seen in their conduct no other end, if they had succeeded, than a dissolution of the existing union. It will be known from the ensuing election in April, whether the people of Virginia are prepared for this dreadful change: for should they re-elect the inveterate leaders of antifederalism, or new members of the same sentiments, it may be considered as a conclusive proof of their determination to separate.
From the information of Mr. Burwell it appears that a separation of the Union, had been a topic of correspondence between Richmond and Philadelphia during the late sessions of Congress and the Virginia Assembly. This circumstance is alarming, notwithstanding the opinion of a person held in the highest estimation among the antifederalists disapproved of the measure.
The motives of the Virginia delegation in Congress are now confirmed to be such as were before generally believed. Being at last fully disclosed at a time when very violent proceedings against the government were meditated, they cannot fail to excite a particular consideration among the people of Virginia at the ensuing election. An opportunity will then be offered to them in a constitutional mode, indeed the only mode entitled to regard in the other states of expressing their opinion upon the propriety of a separation. If Virginia shall with a full view of the intentions of individuals, elect representatives in Congress of the dis-union party, it will be impossible to doubt any longer that dis-union is the real wish of a majority of the voters in that state. If joined by Kentucky and the whole of the Southern states, the hope of Giles and the faction will be realized and their wishes and endeavors will ultimately be crowned with success.
From the VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
To COL. JOHN NICHOLAS.
SIR, IN your address to the freeholders of this district, you have told us that "the many obstacles, &c. with which a man of your independent sentiments, &c. was to meet, were readily anticipated"—and endeavor to recommend yourself by the many persecutions and bare-breasted escapes you have met with, on account of speaking your sentiments freely of men and measures.
You have also said, that there is a "design to destroy the union, and the government, to call in foreign aid for that purpose, &c." and have promised that, "if any freeholder in the district, in his own name, requires it, you will give proof &c."
I shall not call on you in my own name, but should be glad as a freeholder in the district to know, in the first place, who and what you mean in all this strong letter of insinuation? What your private situation or disputes have to do with the district, or the affairs of our country in general? And secondly, what are the proofs of a design to destroy the union and the government, and for that purpose to call in foreign aid?
These are serious charges you have made; and if supported, ought not only to gain you your election, but immortal honor, for having detected and brought to light, plots of the most black, daring, and ruinous kind; and if not, you deserve to be damn'd, I will not say eternally, but by every good man in this world forever.
AN ENQUIRER.
Albemarle, March, 1799.
From the VERGENNES GAZETTE.
Into Germany 120,403 Frenchmen have emigrated. Those fanaticulottes have entered on the whole globe. Thousands of them are in the United States, aiding demos, demons, preaching in every corner against our government making a law to curb sedition, and against giving the administration power to send out of the country those aliens, who have escaped a gallows in their own, and still merit one in this! It is no secret that the directory have spies in all nations, who are both spies upon one another and on the nation they mean to conquer. Circumstances are such as effectually conceal these spies from being discovered. They almost universally pretend that they are nephews or first cousins to Louis Capet, and royalty forced them to become exiles, from famous Talleyrand down to the meanest hofler. Still they bear the pretended injury of their own country with cheerfulness, and, like the Spaniel, love it the more for the punishment they received. In decisive measures, they have the intolerable presumption to justify or extenuate the measures of the directory and condemn those of this government and of individual citizens. They attempt to overawe political opinions and threaten clergymen and friends of government, who are most accustomed to speak and write on principles. For when the presses and individuals shall cease to declare the intrigue of domineering fanaticulottes to the public, a French invasion and conquest of a country will be an easy task. This has been the case in the subdued nations of Europe, as Italy, Venice, Switzerland, &c. The instance of Talleyrand should never be forgotten. He pretended, when he came to this country, that he was an exiled priest of the high order of bishops, which was accredited. But succeeding events have shown that he was only a more artful spy. No sooner does this exile return to France, than he is made first minister of state and the persevering enemy of the United States, more formidable because he knew our situation better; and bitter in proportion to the friendship which that exiled bishop received at our hands.
Robinson, in his proofs of conspiracy in Europe against all religions and government, has discovered that to effect this, the most successful plan is to seize on the education of youth, as well as to influence the writers in the public papers. If the youth, whom they instruct, can be secured, the conquest is made before the community even dream of danger. Political principle, atheism, deism and immorality can easily and imperceptibly be instilled into the unsuspecting, inexperienced mind along with the forming hand of private instruction. American institutions are as important as American principles: and the extinction of the former will rapidly annihilate the existence of the latter!
CHARACTER OF A SOLDIER.
A soldier is the husbandman of valour; his sword is his plough, which honor and aqua vita, two fiery nettled jades are ever drawing. Every heat makes him a harvest, and discontent abroad are his sowers: He is actively the State's, but passively, his passion's servant: He is often a delirer of learning, which, once arrived at, proves his strongest armour: He is a defender of all points, and a true believer of the faith of a woman. More wealth than makes him seem a handsome foe, lightly he covets not—less is below him; He never truly wants but in much having, for then his ease and audience afflict him. The word peace, though in prayer, makes him start, and God he best confiders by his power: Hunger and cold rank in the same file with him, and hold him to a man; his honor else, and the desire of doing things beyond him, would blow him greater than the sons of Anack: His religion is commonly as his cause is, doubtful, and that the best of devotion keeps best quarter: He seldom sees grey hairs, some none at all; for where the sword fails there the flesh gives fire: In chairy he goes beyond best, much drinking. He seems a full student, for he is a great defier of controverfies; he argues sharply, and carries his conclusion in his scabbard. In the first refining of mankind this was the gold, his actions are his enamel, his alloy (for else you cannot work him perfectly) continual duties, heavy and weary marches, lodgings as full of need as cold diseases. No time to argue but to execute. Line him with these, and link him to his squadron, and he appears a rich chain for princes.
