Boarding and Lodging for

MR. CHILDS, IN the American Museum for October, there is, what is called, "an account of the life and character of Mr. John Pierce," by a late aid de camp to General Washington. I know not whether General Washington esteems himself honored by the intimacy and literary talents of his poetical aid; or by his repeated declarations of his own titular importance: But I am sure the public have been glutted with his egotisms and parade of letters; and I am much mistaken if Mr. Pierce's friends will not be mortified at the account given of his life and character. They will see, what every man of discernment must remark, that the principal design of the author is to introduce himself once more to public notice, with all his honors and titles. Instead of giving Mr. Pierce's character in a few correct and elegant sentences, he begins with a pompous introduction, consisting of his own remarks, expressed in his usual bombastic manner. Yet even this would be pardonable, if he would always write sense. "It was the nature of the colonial establishments to circumscribe the sphere of action, cramp the expansion of the mind, or confine its pursuits to professional objects." To cramp expansion! Indeed, sir, all the honors and dignities of the author will not make this expression either more or less than nonsense. If the author meant to prevent the expansion of the mind, we will give him credit for his good intention. But what wretches were the colonists to be confined to professional objects! Does the writer suppose that professional objects are inferior in rank to other objects—Military, for instance, or that of making puns, and writing verses for newspapers.—Upon my honor, sir, I now see the good effects of the revolution! Had it not been for the war, our generals would have been farmers; our soldiers, citizens; Mr. Pierce, instead of being pay-master, would have been a lawyer; and our aids, punsters and poets would have been—the Lord only knows what.
The writer attempts to do justice to the character of his departed friend; but Mr. Pierce's merits are above any encomiums, even of an aid to General Washington. Yet "Mr. Pierce's figure was remarkably uncouth," says our author, "his manners awkward and his address forbidding," till the "jostlings of an army had rubbed off the rough points of rusticity." For the honor of America, I wish it could be said with truth, that the jostlings of an army, and of a French court, had rubbed off the rough points of rusticity from every uncouth figure in the United States.
"When we hear of precious jewels in an unexpected place, we are led to enquire in what kind of casket they are contained." So says our biographer of Mr. Pierce; and it is sincerely to be wished that every American casket of double Mr. Pierce's size, and decked with all the Coxcombical parade of French lace, could be laid to conceal one half the value of precious jewels.
Yet Mr. Pierce had vanity—says our aid—"a venial vanity, arising from a consciousness of having merited the distinction he had acquired." No, sir, Mr. Pierce did not possess vanity—every candid and sensible man who knew him, will acquit him of the charge. He possessed a moderate share of pride; but not of vanity. Pride may be venial, for it may arise from a consciousness of merit; vanity is a good opinion of one's self without foundation. But our poet must be forgiven, for he seems not to understand the distinction. Alas! how little he knows of himself! How little he suspects that all the world are laughing at his own vanity! Yet how can a man learn his heart, since the French court could not teach him whether to join his toes or his heels, when he makes a bow!
BOSTON, Nov. 7.
Sketch of the Proceedings of Government.
Tuesday Afternoon, Nov. 4th.
The committee of both houses, appointed to consider and report in what particular mode the Electors of the President and Vice-President, and the Senators and Representatives in the Federal Government shall be chosen—reported the following propositions, expressing their opinion of the mode in which the elections aforesaid shall be made.
1. That the electors be chosen by the two houses of the general court, by joint ballot.
2. That the electors meet on the first Wednesday of February, in the town of Boston, for the purpose of voting for president and vice-president; and for their time and travel receive the same compensation as members of the senate are entitled to.
3. That the senators be chosen by the two houses of the legislature, each having a negative upon the other.
4. That the commonwealth be divided into eight districts, the inhabitants of each of which shall be authorized to choose one representative.
5. That each district be formed in such manner as to comprehend one eighth part of the polls in the commonwealth, as nearly as may be, without dividing counties.
6. That the county of Suffolk form one district; Essex, one; Middlesex, one; Hampshire and Berkshire, one; Plymouth and Barnstable, one; York, Cumberland and Lincoln, one; Bristol, Dukes County, and Nantucket, one; and the county of Worcester, one.
That precepts issue to the towns in the several districts, to vote on the — day of —, for their respective representatives, and to return lists of the votes to the supreme executive, on or before the — day of —; and if any of the districts shall not have given a majority of votes to any one candidate, the supreme executive shall issue new precepts to such district for the choice of a representative out of the two highest candidates first voted for, and that a majority of votes in this last instance, constitute a choice; but in case the two candidates shall have an equal number of votes, the senators and representatives in the state legislature, from such district, shall determine which of the persons so voted for shall be the representative.
8. That one elector be chosen out of each district intitled to elect a representative, and that the two remaining electors be chosen in any part of the state.
The foregoing report was read and accepted by the hon. senate, and sent down to the house for concurrence.
NEW-PORT, (Rhode-Island,) Nov. 6. Proceedings of the third session of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode-Island, &c. held at Providence on the last Monday of October last.
The two houses were not organized until Wednesday—a controverted election and private business engrossed their attention until Thursday, when it was moved in the Lower House that provision should be made for the payment of the State Notes issued on an interest of four per cent. the principal of which amounts, as by a report of a committee, to 46071. 4s. 6d.—In the course of this debate the House appeared much divided in sentiments: Some of the leaders in the majority urged a payment of them with fifteen shillings paper currency for every twenty expressed in the notes; others of the same party were for paying them off in currency at par, agreeably to the mode pursued in discharging of the six per cent. notes—the members in the minority moved that the holders of them should be paid in the currency at the rate of six for one, the exchange of it being so established by the house in the payment of all accounts for services now done government; but this motion, after lengthy debates, was negatived, and that for discharging them at par with paper currency was adopted by a large majority. The majority were, however, much divided with regard to the mode of payment: Some of them were for an immediate payment of the whole sum, observing that they had been a source of uneasiness to the state, and nothing short of a discharge of them would restore peace to government.
As the mode of payment in currency at par was therefore fixed, and nothing further could be obtained for the holders of them, and these notes having been the ostensible plea of the necessity of a paper currency and tender, the minority moved accordingly the question for their immediate payment; to induce an acquiescence with this proposition, they proved from the state of the Treasury that there was 43,000. in the treasury which with the tax of 30,000. payable in December, would far exceed the amount of the notes and grants made at this session; besides, from the report of the treasurer it appeared that in the discharge of six per cent. notes, not one half had been demanded, the holders having refused to receive so depreciated a payment, and it was to be presumed that many of the holders of the four per cent. notes would refuse receiving the money from the same principle—but some members of the majority more wary, contested the payments by installment, and upon taking the question it was carried by the usual majority to pay off only the one fourth part in two months, and if not demanded within that time to be forfeited—And thus is procrastinated the payment of the public debt—a striking proof that the discharge of it was not the principal object with the majority.—Like a tub to amuse the whale, some part of it will be politically retained to throw out at the next election to induce the people to re-appoint them to complete so glorious a work.
An act passed authorizing the general treasurer to make payment of balances that were forfeited on six per cent. notes, to such holders of them only who had manifested a disposition to comply with the orders of government, by having received a payment in part in the currency.
Collectors of taxes were directed to receive four per cent. notes of ten pounds value or under that sum in payment of the tax now collecting.
On Friday a motion was made for the appointment of a convention to consider of the proposed constitution; the public letters not having been taken out of the post-office in this town since the last session in June, this question was postponed until the express, which had been dispatched for these letters, should arrive.
On Saturday this business was re-assumed, and after a very lengthy debate, the question was put and lost, there being 40 nays, and 15 yeas—25 majority against calling a convention.
Immediately after this decision, it was moved, that the tender law, so far as it respected private contracts, should be repealed. In support of the motion it was observed, and not denied, that the money was passing at the rate of eight for one, and that the assembly, in the present session, had, in repeated instances, made grants to the amount of above 12,000. at a discount of six for one; but, upon taking the question, there were 40 nays, and 15 yeas—25 majority against repealing the tender.
The judges of the superior court appeared with a memorial praying an allowance for their services. How do the tables turn!—One of their honors, while a member of the assembly, was a principal opposer to any allowance to the bench, the honor of sitting there was sufficient—a member retorted the observation, and ironically observed, that they had obtained great honor, with which they ought to be satisfied—(referring to their late decisions, in discharging mortgages with depreciated paper at par)—but his honor now found honor a bubble,
and they were granted 36 shillings per day in our solid currency.
An act passed in conformity to a recommendation of Congress, prohibiting the landing of convicts within this state.
At the close of the session a motion was made for referring the letter from the New-York convention to the people, and that it should be recommended to them to empower their deputies to appoint delegates to meet those which might be appointed by the state of New-York, or other states, to consider and determine the proposed amendments to the constitution of the United States of America. This was intended as a substitute for calling a Convention. And notwithstanding the impropriety and absurdity of the measure appeared in the course of the debates, it was carried by the usual majority.
The assembly adjourned to the last Monday of December next, then to meet in South-Kington.
From this plain narrative of facts, it appears that the legislature are determined to hazard the consequences of a separation from the Union, rather than part with their darling currency; a currency, depreciated by the acknowledgement of both houses, and yet continued a tender for private debts—a currency which hath rent the state with discord, and implanted principles which we trust in mercy to posterity will be discountenanced by future legislatures, with the most exemplary punishment: in a word, by this currency the honest have nothing to gain, but every thing to lose.

To the Public. AN attempt having been made by a certain per- son, to occasion a belief of his having my re- ceipt for preparing the SPECIFIC SOLUTION; I do solemnly declare, that no one (except a gentleman of the medical line, in the state of Maryland, whose honor I could rely on for keeping it to himself) ever had from me the receipt; that the discovery is en- tirely my own made during my residence in the island of St. Kitts, where I had under my care (as Surgeon to the estates of the Hon. John Julius, Esq. and ge- neral Mathew) upwards of 500 negroes, for more than two years; that during my practice on those es- tates seventy-four Venereal patients came under my care, that the Specific Remedy was the only one used, and that it never failed me: To prove which, any gentleman is heartily welcome to peruse a certi- ficate given me by the Hon. John Julius, on my re- signing the practice of the estate.—As a regular bred Surgeon, I never should have offered a nostrum to the public, but being a very sickly person, ren- dered by disease incapable of attending much to out door practice, I could not conceive it derogatory to the dignity of physical character to bring home those business which want of health would not allow my at- tending abroad. The public may rest assured that no person has my receipt for the preparing the Specific Remedy and will therefore guard against its being intruded on them as such. SHEED, Nov. 14. 2aw No. 70, Cherry-Street.

The dis- covery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
