Some account of the celebrated Comte de Cagliostro, the friend of mankind.
[Concluded from our last.]
IN 1766, I arrived, accompanied by my Governor and three servants, at the Island of Rhodes, where I embarked on board a French ship bound to Malta.
Notwithstanding the general rule for all vessels coming from the Levant to perform quarantine, I obtained leave to go on shore the second day, and was lodged in the palace of the Grand-master, Pinto, in apartments contiguous to the Laboratory.
The Grand-master, in the first instance, requested the Chevalier D'Aquino, of the princely house of Caramanico, to accompany and shew me every thing remarkable on the island.
Here I first assumed the European dress, and the name of Count Cagliostro; and saw, not without surprise, my Governor Althotas appear in the habit and insignia of the order of Malta.
The Chevalier D'Aquino introduced me to the chiefs, or Grand Croix of the order, and among others to the Bailli de Rohan, the present Grand-master. Little did I then imagine that, in the course of twenty years, I should be dragged to the Bastille for being honoured with the friendship of a Prince of that name!
I have every reason to suppose that the Grand-master was not acquainted with my real origin. He often mentioned the Cherif and the City Tribouf to me, but would never enter into particulars on that subject.
He treated me always with the utmost attention, and promised me the most rapid rise if I would take the vows of the order; but my taste for travelling, and my attachment to the practice of physic, made me reject these offers, not less generous than honorable.
It was at Malta that I had the misfortune to lose my best friend, my master, the wisest and most learned of men, the venerable Althotas. In his last moments, grasping my hand, he with difficulty said, "My friend, experience will soon convince you of the truth of what I have constantly taught you."
The place where I had lost a friend who had been to me like a father, soon became insupportable; I requested, therefore, of the Grand-master, that he would permit me to quit the island, in order to make the tour of Europe. He consented with reluctance, but made me promise to return to Malta. The Chevalier D'Aquino was so obliging as to accompany me, and supply my wants during our journey.
In company with the gentleman I first visited Sicily, where he introduced me to the first people of the country. We next visited the different islands of the Archipelago, and having again crossed the Mediterranean, arrived at Naples, the birth-place of my companion.
From thence I proceeded alone to Rome, with letters of credit on the banking-house of the Sieur Bellone.
I determined to remain here incog. but one morning whilst I was shut up in my apartment, endeavouring to improve myself in the Italian language, the Secretary of Cardinal Orsini was announced, who came to request I would wait on his Eminence. I accordingly repaired immediately to his palace. The Cardinal received me with the greatest politeness, invited me often to his table, and procured me the acquaintance of several Cardinals and Roman Princes, particularly the Cardinals York and Ganganelli, afterwards Pope Clement XIV. The Pope Rezzonico, who then filled the Papal Chair, having expressed a desire of seeing me, I had the honor of repeated conferences with his Holiness.
In the year 1770 in my 22d year, fortune procured me the acquaintance of a young lady of quality, Serafina Feliciani: she was hardly out of her infancy; her dawning charms kindled in my bosom a flame, which sixteen years marriage have only served to strengthen.
Having neither time nor inclination to write a voluminous work, I shall only mention those persons to whom I have been known in my travels through all the kingdoms of Europe. Most of them are still in being, I challenge their testimony aloud. Let them declare whether ever I was guilty of any action disgraceful to a man of honor. Let them say if ever I sued for a favor, if ever I cringed for the protection of those Sovereigns who were desirous of seeing me; let them, in short, declare, whether at any time, or in any place, I had any other object in view than to cure the sick, and to relieve the indigent without fee or reward.
The Count here gives a list of very respectable persons with whom he says he was acquainted at the different Courts of Europe; and goes on to observe, that, from a desire of not being known, he frequently assumed different names, such as those of Comte Starat, Comte Fenix, Marquis D'Anna, &c.
He arrived at Strasburg on the 19th of September 1780, where at the earnest solicitations of the inhabitants and the nobility of Alsace, he was prevailed upon to employ his medical abilities for the good of the public. Here he was libelled, he says, by some obscure scribblers; but the author of a work, entitled, "Lettres sur le Suisse," (to whom he refers the reader) did him justice, and paid due homage to truth. He then appeals to the Clergy, military officers, the apothecary who supplied him with drugs, to the keepers of the different gaols in which he relieved a number of poor prisoners, to the magistrates, and the public at large, to declare, whether he ever gave offence, or was guilty of any action that militated either against the laws, against morality or religion.
Some little time after his arrival at Strasburg, the Cardinal de Rohan signified to him that he wished to be acquainted with him. He at first supposed the Prince to be actuated by mere curiosity, and therefore declined the invitation. But being afterwards informed that he was attacked with an asthma, and wished to consult him, he immediately went to the episcopal palace, and gave the Cardinal his opinion.
In the year 1781, the Cardinal honored him with a visit, to consult him about the Prince de Soublise, who was afflicted with a mortification, and prevailed upon him to accompany him to Paris; but on his arrival there, he refused to visit the Prince till his physician should declare him past cure; and when the faculty declared him to be on the mending hand, persisted in his resolution of not seeing him,
being unwilling to reap the glory of a cure, which "could not be ascribed to me."
He stayed in Paris thirteen days, employed from five in the morning till mid-night in visiting patients; and then returned to Strasburg, where the good he did, produced many libels against him, in which he was styled Antichrist—the wandering Jew—the man of 1400 years old, &c. At length worn out with ill usage, he determined on leaving the place, when two letters, one from the Comte de Vergennes, the other from the Marquis de Miroueil, Keeper of the Great Seal, to the Chief Magistrate of Strasburg, in his behalf, induced him to change his mind.
The tranquility which these ministerial letters procured him was but of short duration, and he again determined to quit Strasburg, and retire out of the reach of the malevolence of envy. An account he at this time received of the Chevalier D'Aquino being dangerously ill at Naples, hastened his departure for that place, where he arrived only in time to receive the last farewell of his unfortunate friend. To avoid being importuned to resume the practice of physic, he resolved to take a trip to England, and with this intent arrived at Bourdeaux in November 1783. Here being known, he was prevailed on to continue eleven months, giving up his time to the sick and infirm, as he had done at Strasburg. In October 1784, he reached Lyons, where he continued three months, and arrived at Paris in January 1785. Here he renewed his acquaintance with the Cardinal de Rohan.
Soon after the Count's arrival at Paris, the Cardinal de Rohan, who honored him with occasional visits, offered to introduce him to a lady named Valois de la Motte.
"The Queen," said the Cardinal, addressing himself to the Count, "is a prey to the deepest melancholy, in consequence of a prediction that she is to die in child-bed. It would be the highest satisfaction to me, if by any means I could undecieve her, and restore her peace of mind. Madam de Valois is every day with her Majesty, and you will greatly oblige me, by telling her (if she should ask your opinion) that the Queen will be safely brought to bed of a Prince."
To this proposal the Count, wishing to oblige the Cardinal, and pleased with the prospect of contributing, though indirectly, to the preservation of the Queen's health, readily assented.
On visiting the Prince the next day at his house, he there found the Countess de la Motte, who after the usual civilities, opened the business to him as follows:
"I am acquainted with a lady of great distinction at Versailles, who has been forewarned that she and another lady were to die in child-bed. The prediction has been verified on one of the parties, and the survivor awaits the fatal minute in the utmost uneasiness. If you know what will happen, or if you think you can by any means find it out, I shall go to Versailles to-morrow, and make my report to the person concerned, who (added the Countess) is the Queen herself."
The Count's answer to Madam de la Motte was, that all predictions were mere nonsense; but advised her to tell the Queen, to recommend herself to the divine protection, that her first lying-in had been fortunate, and that her approaching one would be equally so.
The Countess not seeming satisfied with this answer, the Count, in consequence of the promise to the Cardinal, assuming a serious countenance, told the lady, "Madam, as an adept in the science of nature, and acquainted with the arcana of magnetism, I am of opinion, that a being perfectly innocent may, in this case, operate more powerfully than any other. If therefore you are desirous of knowing the truth, you must, in the first instance, find out such an innocent creature."
"If that be the only difficulty," replied Madame de la Motte, "I have a niece who answers the description: I will bring her with me to-morrow."
The next day the Count was much surprised at being introduced, not, as he had imagined, to a child about six years old, but to a full grown innocent creature of fifteen. After composing his features, and stifling a laugh, he asked Mademoiselle La Tour, the young lady, whether she was truly innocent? To this question she more boldly than ingeniously answered in the affirmative. The Count replied, "I shall know the truth of it in an instant. —Command yourself to God and your innocence: step behind the screen, shut your eyes, and think within yourself on any object you most wish to see: if you are innocent, it will appear to you; if not, you will see nothing."
"Mademoiselle de la Tour," continues the Count, "followed my directions, and I remained on the other side of the screen with the Cardinal, who stood near the fire-place, not avert in ecstasy, as Madame de la Motte thinks proper to express it, but holding his hand to his mouth, for fear of interrupting the solemn scene by an ill-timed laugh."
Having made some mystic gesticulations, I desired the young lady to stamp on the floor with her innocent foot, and tell me whether she saw any thing. She answered in the negative. "Then Miss," said I, striking the screen smartly, "you are not innocent." —This observation piqued the lady's pride—"Hold," cried she, "me-thinks I see the Queen." —I was then convinced that this innocent niece had been properly instructed by her artful aunt.
Desirous to know how she would go through her part, I requested her to describe the apparition. She said the lady was pregnant, and dressed in white: she then proceeded to describe her features, which exactly resembled the Queen's. I then desired her to ask the lady, whether she would be brought to bed safely: she replied, she should. I then ordered her to kiss the lady's hand respectfully. The innocent creature kissed her own hand, and came from behind the screen, perfectly satisfied to think she had convinced us of her innocence.
The ladies eat some sweet-meats, drank some lemonade, and in about a quarter of an hour retired by the back stairs.
Thus ended a farce, as harmless in itself as it was laudable in its motive.
The Cardinal, having thus brought me acquainted with the Countess, asked me what I thought of her? I, who have always pretended to some skill in physiognomy, sincerely declared, that I believed her to be a deceitful intriguing woman. The Cardinal differed in opinion from me, and soon after set out for Saverne, where he remained a month or six weeks. On his return, his visits to me became more frequent and I observed him to be uneasy and thoughtful; and whenever the Countess was mentioned, I with my usual frankness told him, "that woman deceives you."
About a fortnight before he was arrested, he one day said to me, "I begin to think you are right in your conjectures, and that Madame de Valois is the woman you have described." He then, for the first time, related to me the transaction about the neck-lace, and communicated his suspicions and fears that it had not been delivered to the Queen. This corroborated my former opinion.
The next day the Prince informed me, that the Countess and her husband had, fearing the consequences of the above affair, fled for shelter to his house, and that they requested letters of recommendation for England or Germany. The Cardinal asked my advice in the business. I told him there was but one way left, viz. to deliver her into the hands of the police, and go directly to Court, and lay the whole matter open to the King and his Ministers. This he objected to, as repugnant to his feelings and generosity. "In this case," said I, "God is your only resource." The Cardinal, however, having refused them the letters of recommendation, they set out for Burgundy, and I have heard nothing of them since.
On the fifteenth of August the Cardinal was arrested. Several persons observed to the Count, that as he was among the Prelate's friends, he might possibly share the same fate. But conscious of his innocence, he replied, that he was perfectly resigned, and would wait with patience whatever God or the government should ordain.
Accordingly, at half past seven o'clock in the morning, on the 22d of August, a Commissary, an exempt, and eight myrmidons of police, entered his house, and after rummaging his scrutoires, dragged him on foot in the most opprobrious manner, till a hackney coach happening to pass by, he was permitted to enter it, and was conducted to the Bastille; to which place his wife was likewise committed. —On the 30th of January, 1786, after five months confinement, he underwent an examination, in which he invariably persisted in declaring his innocence. During this interrogatory, the following question was put to him:
Q. "Your manner of living is expensive; you give much away, and accept of nothing in return; you pay every body: —How do you contrive to get money?"
A. "This question has no kind of relation to the case in point: however, I am willing to give you some satisfaction. Yet of what importance is it to have it known, whether I am the son of a monarch, or the child of a beggar; why I travel without making myself known, or by what means I procure the money I want? As long as I pay a due respect to the religion and laws of the country, discharge every obligation, and am uniformly doing good to all around me, the question you now put is improper and unbecoming. I have always taken a pleasure in refusing to gratify the curiosity of the public on this account, notwithstanding all the calumnies malice has invented against me. I will nevertheless condescend to tell you what I never revealed to any one before. Know then, that the principal resource I have to boast of is, that as soon as I set my foot into any country, I there find a banker who supplies me with every thing I want: thus in France, Sarrafin de Balle, or Monsieur Saneolaz, at Lyons, would give me up their whole fortunes, were I to ask it; but I have always requested these gentlemen not to pay they were my bankers. In addition to these resources, I derive farther assistance from my extensive knowledge."
† Happy Count! what man can be so ungrateful as to complain of the severity of his fate who has this to boast of? Even many months imprisonment in the Bastille must be fully compensated by such good fortune. But the Count still plays the safe game; his bankers live at too great a distance from Paris, to be easily confronted with him.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, JANUARY 12.
IN CONGRESS, April 15th, 1784.
CONGRESS resumed the consideration of the report on the letter of the 24th of March, from Major-General Baron Steuben, and thereupon
Resolved, That the resignation of Baron Steuben, late Inspector-General, and Major-General, be accepted.
"That the Thanks of the United States in Congress assembled, be given to Baron Steuben, for the great zeal and abilities he has discovered in the discharge of the several duties of his office; that a GOLD HILTED SWORD be presented to him, as a mark of the high sense Congress entertain of his character and services."
War-Office, 4th January, 1787.
SIR,
THE United States in Congress assembled, by their act of the 15th of April, 1784, expressed their high sense of your military talents, services, and character, and as an honorable evidence thereof, they directed that a gold hilted Sword should be presented to you. —It is with great satisfaction I embrace the occasion of presenting you the invaluable memorial of their sentiments, and your eminent merits.
Were it possible to enhance the honor conferred by the Sovereign Authority, it would be derived from the consideration that their applause was reciprocated by the late illustrious Commander in Chief, and the whole army.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
with the most perfect consideration, your obedient and humble servant, H. KNOX.
The Hon. Major-General Baron De Steuben, late Inspector-General of the Armies of the United States.
New-York, January 5, 1787.
SIR,
I HAVE been honored with your letter, and Captain Stagg has delivered me the Sword which the United States were pleased to order me by their act of the 15th April, 1784.
Permit me, Sir, to request that you would express to Congress, the high sentiments of respect and acknowledgment with which I receive this distinguished mark of their regard.
To a Soldier, such testimonies are ever dear, and that this is accompanied with the approbation of our late Commander in Chief, of yourself, and the army in general, will always be my greatest glory.
Accept, Sir, my sincere thanks for the very flattering manner in which you have communicated this present, and believe me to be,
With perfect regard, Sir,
your most obedient humble servant, S T E U B E N.
The Honorable Major-General Knox, Secretary at War.
DESCRIPTION of the SWORD presented to the UNITED STATES, to Major-General BARON STEUBEN.
The small medallions on each side of the top of the hilt, present an eagle perched on a bunch of arrows, with a wreath of laurel in his bill, and his wings extended, ready to rise: The genius of America fills the front medallion on the hilt, dressed in a flowing robe, ornamented with the new constellation, holding an olive branch in her right arm, and a dagger in her left hand. On the opposite side is the figure of Minerva, in martial dress, robed, and ornamented with stars; the bird of wisdom seated near: Her left hand presents the olive branch, while the right is properly supported by the spear. This figure is martial and gay; the other is mild, and modestly embraces the olive branch, but holds the dagger with firmness. On the two lower medallions, are the sword and the regulations of the army. Under these, on the shield, is on each side, an eagle seated on a knot of colours, surrounded with stars, and holding a sprig of olive in the bill, the wings extended, emblematical of peace and protection. The opposite medallions contain trophies of war, and under the shield is the following inscription: "THE UNITED STATES TO MAJOR GENERAL BARON STEUBEN, 15 Ap. 1784, FOR MILITARY MERIT."
Account of the singular Event which occasioned the Suppression of the TORTURE in Scotland.
A young gentleman of the name of M'Leod, being passionately in love with a young lady of superior rank and fortune, nearly allied to the house of Montgomery; and having won her affections, the young couple found themselves under a necessity to conceal their mutual inclination, from a dread of the lady's father, who aimed at nothing else than a noble alliance for his daughter.
Under these circumstances the imprudent girl permitted her lover to make her private nocturnal visits. This intrigue had lasted some months, when some neighbours passing by the house one night, saw the young man come out, and retire with great precaution. Such a discovery, however, only brought the lady's virtue in question, and, as they were not interested in that, they wily kept the secret.
Some time after, the same house was found to be stripped of the plate, and other valuable effects, to a considerable amount. The servants discovered the robbery when they awoke in the morning; but not the least conjecture could be made by whom committed. The neighbours then thought it their duty to clear themselves from all suspicion, and with this view they made a declaration before the Magistrate of what they had seen. Appearances were so strong against the youth, that the Magistrate had him immediately arrested, and charged with the fact. He disowned the crime with indignation; but a generous concern for the honor of his mistress would not permit him to confess the true motive of his visit, but still denying the crime, the Judges ordered him the torture.
This transaction happening in the time of James the VIth, the torture had been mitigated to what was sufficient to answer the purpose of extorting truth or falsehood, from the unhappy victims, whose strength or resolution was not equal to its torments. It consisted in making them swallow a certain quantity of water, which done, they extended them on the floor of the prison, and placed a plank upon the stomach, on which the executioner stood, and pressed the poor wretch, until he re-gorged the water, with extreme violence; this cruel punishment was repeated until the party confessed the crime of which he was accused.
The rumour of this sentence having passed on Mr. M'Leod, reached the ears of his mistress. Affection and gratitude made her determine to save the life of this generous man, at the hazard of publishing her own dishonor. She threw herself at the feet of the Judges, confessed the intrigue, and added, that it was impossible he could be the criminal, for she had always let him in and out of the house herself. This declaration was considered by the Judges, as a love stratagem; it produced no effect; and the unfortunate youth, not able to endure the pain of the torture, confessed the robbery, and requested, as a particular favor, that the Judges would not delay his death: But fortunately for him, this request was not complied with, it being the custom in those days to postpone the execution of criminals to a fixed day, that the example might strike more terror.
In the interval, the hand of Providence wrought his deliverance. Two highwaymen were condemned for real crimes; and being under sentence of death, were thrown into the same dungeon. Here they were made acquainted with the cause of Mr. M'Leod's deplorable situation; and having no hopes of life themselves, they resolved not to suffer an innocent man to die for a crime which they had committed. Without loss of time, therefore, they imparted such evident proofs of their having committed the robbery, that the youth was set at liberty—and the Judges, struck with their own error, which shewed the cruelty and absurdity of the torture, applied to the Legislature, and obtained a legal abolition of this custom forever: and as a recompence to the lover, they used all their influence with the lady's father, who seeing himself so powerfully solicited, granted his consent, and they were happily united.

The Honorable the Legislature had not yesterday formed a quorum of both Houses.—This day, it is expected, they will be able to proceed to business. What a bright prospect presents itself to the leaders of the insurgents of Massachusetts, by their late conduct of immortalizing their names—how pleasing the idea, that posterity shall hear some happy rhyming wishing to impress their names, and the name of their coadjutor , on the minds of our grand-children, in some future Criss-cross-row , thus introduce them—
R stands for Rebels, who mobs dare to raise, S stands for Satan, Smith, Shattuck and Shays . Capt. Turner, who arrived at Boston on the 28th ult. from Amsterdam, a little to the eastward of George's Banks, spoke a Schooner, Capt. Cox, from the Banks of Newfoundland, bound for Beverly, who informed him that some weeks before, he spoke a ship from Bristol, bound for Shelburne, Nova-Scotia, out upwards of an hundred days, and being short of provision, had been obliged to kill one man to satisfy their hunger.
The cause of the extraordinary delay of the Southern Mail, due here on Sunday morning, has at length transpired. The mail having been detained on Saturday night at Newark, was feloniously carried off by some villains unknown. In a commercial country, an act which immediately strikes at the security of correspondence, must be considered as a crime of alarming magnitude; and which, if not instantly checked, must be pregnant with evils of a most pernicious tendency. In every European nation, attempts to rob or carry off the mail are always attended with the most exemplary punishment of the offenders, when discovered. We are informed that a strict search is making for the perpetrators of this villainy, and cannot avoid expressing our hope, that on conviction, their punishment may be such as to be an example to deter others from attempting a crime so injurious in its nature to every class of society.
Since the above was wrote, we hear that the mail was found entire at some distance from the house from which it was taken, unopened—supposed to be done for a trick: A good caution to those who carry the mails, to be more careful.
The following is a statement of the number and the burthen of the respective vessels in which the last crop of South-Carolina was exported:
Vessels. Tons. American 566 34,412 British 168 16,858 Spanish 37 1,251 French 13 1,122 Irish 4 305 Dutch 4 539 Danish 3 1,037 Bremen 3 524 Altona 1 130 Austrian 1 127
800 vessels. 56,305 tons.
The mildness of the weather for some days past, having liberated the navigation of the river Delaware from the obstruption of the ice, several vessels that lay at Reed's Island, have arrived at the wharves in Philadelphia.
In the snow storm, the 5th ult. the sloop Two-Sisters, Capt. Noah Miller, from Connecticut-river, bound to Boston, was ran ashore on Cape-Cod. The vessel and cargo saved—And the sloop Indulgence, also from Connecticut-river, bound to Boston, ran ashore in the same gale on Cape-Cod. The vessel is bilged, and most of the cargo, consisting of grain, is lost; the people saved.
In the same storm, a Schooner went on shore at the Highlands, on Cape-Cod, without any masts: one person was found dead on deck, and another which belonged to the vessel was found dead on the shore. The Schooner belonged to Chatham, at the Cape, and was from Nova-Scotia. She had six men in all on board, who must have perished, though the above only were found.
Near the same place, a Schooner was cast away, in the same storm, one boy on board perished with the cold, and a man was so froze as to have his arm amputated.
Also, two Schooners from Marblehead, bound to the westward with fish and oil, were cast away near the same place: vessels and most of their cargoes lost, but the lives saved.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Dublin, dated October 10, to his friend in this city, received by the Ship Anne and Susan, Captain Coeyens.
"Yesterday the Right Hon. Edmund Burke and his eldest son arrived in this city. It is sixteen years since this gentleman visited his native land. His tour will be to visit Limerick county, the place of his nativity, and Loughrea, in the county of Galway, where he has a widowed sister and her family; she is the relict of Mr. French, who died several years since. Let it be mentioned to his honor, that even when in power, though willing to make some provision for his near relation, with a large family, he did not press it. No man exists with cleaner hands than our distinguished countryman. It is not his being in or out of Administration that forms his character. The philosopher, the statesman, the philanthropist, will live in the grateful memory of mankind when the partial idea of ins and outs are forgotten."
Another letter from the same gentleman says,—"It is currently reported, that a Police Bill, to extend over the whole kingdom, will be brought into the House next session, and the report is generally credited. Should this really be the case, the injury which the freedom of election would receive is inconceivable—from its present defective state, indeed it were natural to think the most arbitrary administration need not with for its further depression. Such a measure would be an accession to ministerial power, while it would answer every purpose of a local army , let it be termed by whatever name it may. The Romans, it is observable, could tolerate a tyrant under any other name than the horrid one of Rex, as if a name could alter the nature of the thing, and should such a force be raised, however disguised under the mask of Police, or any other civil appellation, it should excite the jealousy of every free-man."
A late London paper mentions, that "the Lords of the British Admiralty have now before them a plan for the discovery of the longitude, on a very plain and simple principle, from a very respectable quarter. By this plan, it is asserted, the longitude may be ascertained to a very great nicety, any day that a common observation of latitude can be taken, and the operation is so short, that a calculation of ten or fifteen figures only is all that is requisite, and this operation is so simple, that a school boy who has learned navigation, in the common rules of arithmetic, may work the question."
On Sunday morning, the 31st ult. between the hours of four and five, the house of Mr. Joseph Johnson, weaver, at the Whitehill Farm, not more than two miles from Albany, was discovered to be on fire, by the people on said farm; and before sufficient assistance could arrive, to extinguish the flames, the house and stable adjoining were entirely consumed.—This melancholy accident is greatly heightened by the death of Mr. Johnson and two of his children, who perished in the flames; as did also two horses and a cow. At the time the fire broke out, there were in the house, four of Mr. Johnson's children; two, however, escaped by leaping out of the window. Mrs. Johnson (who for some time past has been disordered in her senses) slept from home on Saturday night—which circumstance, it is more than probable, prevented her from suffering, with her husband and children, a premature death.
Married, in the city of Albany, on the 28th ult. Dr. JOHN C. CUYLER, to Miss HANNAH MALEY, daughter of Mr. John Maley, merchant, in that place. This young lady is possessed of many amiable qualifications, with a handsome fortune.
On Friday the 20th of December last, departed this life, SAMUEL T. PELL, Esq. of the Manor of Pellham, in the county of Westchester. In this State, he entered at an early period, into the military service of his country, and was unrewarded in his exertions in the common cause, until by the happy return of peace, he saw his labours crowned in the complete attainment of the object for which he contended.—While in the army, Major Pell was no less distinguished for the heroic virtues, than for those of a more amiable and social kind; and he cheerfully exchanged the parade of a military profession, for the enjoyment of retirement and private life. He died regretted by all who knew him, in the thirty-first year of his age.
MUTIUS SCEVOLA.
THE effusions of this gentleman's pen (published in yesterday's New-York Journal ) appear to have been dictated by private resentment , and not by a desire to promote the public good. Printers, in extracting articles from foreign papers, and arranging them under their proper heads, doubtless intend to present their readers with a faithful detail, not only of mere intelligence, but of such remarks as their enemies bestow upon them and their government. It is most assuredly a reflection upon the understandings of a free and independent people, united together by the ties of liberty and concord , even to suppose, that they are so weak as to be misled by the assertions of a foreign paragraphist .
No persons, except the ignorant, envious, or designing , can be so ingenuous as to construe the publishing of such extracts, into a want of affection for the Country in which we live.
PRINTERS ATTEND!
A Word with you if you please. We are informed by the august authority of the SAGE MUTIUS SCEVOLA, that in perusing the several news-papers printed in this city , he finds that some of the Printers are very anxious to publish extracts from London papers . And he likewise tells us, that the Sons of Liberty take notice of our conduct : Therefore, PRINTERS, take this salutary hint ; BEWARE of LONDON NEWS-PAPERS; return them, unopened , to the country from whence they came—they are dangerous—they are pernicious—they contain doctrine subversive of the principles of true liberty!

POET'S CORNER.
ODE to my PIPE.
—Perdition catch my soul, But I do love thee. Shak. Othello.
COME, thou footier of my cares, Taper, snow-white tube of clay, Let me fill thee to the top Sweet thy taste at break of day.
See you bench beneath the tree, There I will thy sweets enjoy, From my pocket snatch a book; Books with thee can never cloy.
