TRANSLATED FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
Some idea of the present state of PAINTING in France may be formed from the following general view of the pieces which appeared at the public exhibition at Paris in the year 9—taken from the Moniteur .
LET us take a rapid view of the most remarkable works which have been exhibited, and far from fearing a decay of the arts, we shall be astonished at their progress, at a moment when the national resources and attention are engaged by the most important interests.
Terror and pity agitate us, while we view the picture of Prestes , tormented by remorse, and torn by the furies, who continually display before him the dreadful spectacle of his crime. The allegorical figures are worthy of the energetic touch of Michael-Angele.
Hennequin , who was crowned at the last exhibition, demonstrates the improvement which is obvious in this new production, the power of national rewards, to awaken the ambition of artists, when it is to true talents that the price is awarded.
Broc , in his school of Appelles , combines the variety and simplicity of nature, with a style and taste truly antique. He is making rapid progress in the path which leads to perfection. Would one believe that this piece is one of the earliest essays of a young man? What a happy conformity has it with the celebrated school of Athens , which was also one of the first performances of Raphael ; what Chefs-d'oeuvre may we not promise ourselves from essays marked by such success.
Gerard , accustomed to triumph in this annual contest, has given us a new proof of the justness of his ideas and the superiority of his talents. Most of our modern artists have imagined that a great man, to appear as such, must have the muscles of the face contracted, the eyes light up with a gloomy fire, the lips pressed one against another, the hair scattered, the drapery disordered, attitude rendered painful by affected contrasts? the portrait of Moreau destroys this ridiculous error, and proves that tranquility is the truest characteristic of real greatness. How pleasing is it to observe in his features and his manners, that serenity which characterises the great general. This calmness which announces an energetic mind, which is at peace with itself, this benevolent and gracious mien, which conciliates esteem and even the affection of a conquered people; in short, this generous hero, who twice saved the French armies, and always less careful of his own glory than of the safety of his country! Happy artist, worthy of associating thy name with that of a hero so justly celebrated.
I need not speak of the other portraits of Gerard ; every one admires his perfect execution, which unites to the most delicate finishing a firm and bold touch, and that expression of truth, which one might almost mistake for nature itself.
Meynier has added to his reputation by the Adieu of Telimachus and Eucharis , which attract and delight the eye, by a pleasing touch, and seducing colouring.
The large picture of Garnier , which represents the consternation of the family of Priam after the death of Hector , is remarkable for its composition, its order and harmonious effects. It requires only a more pure and correct style.
Menjard makes us participate in the horrors and the agony of a father condemned to die with his two children, when he portrays the dreadful moment in which, for the last time he presses them in his arms.
Traced by the Crayon of Vernet , the chariot flies with the rapidity of lightning, the proud coursers seem animated with the ambition of victory, and the unfortunate Hippolitus , whose danger alarms us, is drawn by his impetuous coursers, heedless of the rein or of the voice that attempts to restrain them.
How many other works have attracted the attention and gained the suffrages of the public; such as the portraits of Girodet ,
of an admirable execution; those of Sahlet , distinguished by their strong and glowing colours; the dying Virgil of Harriet ; the Pyramus and Thisbe of Gautherot , &c. the enchanting landscapes of Bercault ; of Valenciennes , de Bertin , &c. Those of Bachberdalbe , which transport us to the bridge of Lodi , and the banks of the Po ; places forever celebrated for the prodigies of French valour which were there performed.
The perspective views of those famous mountains, whose heads are lost in the clouds, and whose height the eye can scarcely measure, crossed by that astonishing army of Reserve , whose triumph over the great obstacles of nature, was the precursor of the victory of Marengo —These and many others distinguished by their brilliant colouring, their delicate finishing and animated tints, are worthy of being distinguished from the throng, if the limits of this brief review did not forbid it.
Thus by this diversity of talents, the French school, which has been reproached as destitute of any original character, may aspire to the glory of uniting the various kinds of excellence which are scattered in the other schools of Europe.
But peculiar praise is due to those female artists who have shone in this honourable list. We will particularly point out the Children's Breakfast by mademoiselle  Chaudet , the nature and simplicity of which must ever please. The excellent portraits by the mesdames  Vincent , Benoit , mesdemoiselles  Gerard and Capet . It is long since, like the Greeks, we could boast of our Saphos and Corrinas ; now, still happier, we possess rivals of Appelles , who spread over their works that peculiar charm and native grace, which belong to their sex, and who have the double advantage of finding in themselves both models and talents.
In this general view of the exhibition of the year, we observe the restoration of the arts to their true principles. To what a high degree of excellence may we not hope to see them rise, at a period when circumstances the most happy and means the most powerful shall concur to advance them.
The Chefs-d'oeuvre of every age, the honorable trophies of our victories, are collected under our eyes, and animate us to aspire to the same perfection. An enlightened government, which honors and recompenses every kind of merit, the war itself, whose sublime motive inspires so much heroism, all tend to exalt our imagination, and to ennoble our ideas. The superiority of our arms has carried the glory of the French name among the most polished as well as most barbarous nations. Let the superiority of our talents, charged to transmit to posterity so many splendid exploits, produce an equal number of prodigies in the arts, and give an equal lustre to the French school. Artists! You need not recur to ancient history to kindle your noble enthusiasm; how many heroic actions have been performed under your own eyes, which will rouse and animate your imaginations. It is after having performed great actions, that a people are capable of raising monuments worthy of them. Thus the age of Miltiades and Themistocles prepared the way for that of Pericles .
Legislature of Massachusetts.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
JUNE 10, 1801.
The committee to whom was referred the speech of his Excellency the Governor, reported an Address in answer thereto, which, after a short debate was accepted, and it was ordered that the same committee present the same to his Excellency the Governor. [We regret being obliged to omit this day, for want of room]
IN SENATE, June 9.
This day, agreeably to assignment, the Report of the committee of the Senate, in answer to the Governor's Speech, was largely discussed. That part of the reported answer, which was the principal subject of discussion, consisted of two para-
graphs of which we have obtained a copy as follows:
"Whatever may have been the wishes of many, in regard to a choice of the President of the United States, we trust, that the good sense and patriotism of those, who are disappointed in the result, will lead them to render that respectful obedience to constitutional authority, which is justly due, and [having a right to expect, that the first magistrate of our nation will, in administering the government, strictly adhere to its essential principles, they may hope that he will acquire that confidence of the people, the possession of which is as important to their interests as to his dignity and the happiness of his official life.]
"We fully accede, Sir, to the position, that "asperity and false colouring" ought not to be indulged in the discussion of public measures, and we sincerely lament, that the morals and liberties of the people have been, and still are endangered by the licentiousness of the presses in the United States; and that so many of our newspapers are the (devoted) vehicles of misrepresentation, slander and falsehood."
The hon. Mr. Skinner moved to strike out the whole of these two paragraphs, and to insert the following substitute:
"If in the choice of a President of the United States, the result has not corresponded with the wishes of many of the citizens of this commonwealth; in the good sense and patriotism of those citizens; in that spirit of conciliation and those habits of "acquiescence in the will of the majority," to which the people of the United States have been formed, under their Republican institutions, we find sure pledges of "obedience to the laws and respect for constitutional authority." With that laudable disposition on their part, they have a right to expect a wise, a just and an impartial administration of the government, having the public good its object, and the constitution for its guide. Such an administration we anticipate, from the patriotism, experience and superior talents of the distinguished character, who presides over our national councils. And, while we believe that a free and unrestrained discussion of public measures are the highest securities, which the people enjoy, for a faithful discharge of delegated trusts, we accord with your Excellency, that "asperity and false colouring" are dangerous to the morals and liberties of the people; as well as injurious to rulers; and we are happy in believing that public opinion, the surest corrective of such abuse, is checking that licentious spirit which has so long degraded the freedom of the press."
This amendment was supported by Messrs Hill , Bowdoin , Hull , Austin , Bidwell and Hitchborn ; and opposed by Messrs. Haward , Thompson , Dwight , Treadwell and Titcomb . Mr. Tudor objected against the reported answer; but preferred a different amendment, the yeas and nays were called for and were as follows:
YEAS.
Hon. Messrs. Aspinwall , Austin , Bidwell , Bowdoin , Crowninshield , Dean , Dillingham , Ellis , Hildreth , Hill , Hitchborn , Hull , Maynard , Skinner .—14.
NAYS.
Hon. Messrs. Allen , Dwight , Dummer , Foster , Fry , Hole , Hayden , Hunt , Longfellow , M c Clellan , March , May , Sterns , Storer , Taft , Titcomb , Thompson , Towne , Treadwell , Tudor .—20.
After some further discussion and several motions, Mr. Treadwell moved to strike out the words in the first paragraph inclosed within brackets, and to insert the following substitute:
"That the first magistrate of our nation will, in administering the government, so adhere to its essential principles, as to secure the confidence of the people, whose interest requires that he should possess it."
This amendment was adopted without debate. On motion the word devoted , in the last paragraph, was struck out. On the question of agreeing to the reported answer, as amended, the yeas and nays were entered on the Journal as follows:
YEAS.—Hon. Messrs. Allen , Dwight , Dummer , Fowler , Fry , Hale , Hayward , Hunt , Longfellow , M c Clellan , March , May ,
Sterns , Storer , Taft , Thompson , Titcomb , Towne , Treadwell .—19.
NAYS.—Hon. Messrs. Aspinwall , Austin , Bidwell , Bowdoin , Crowninshield , Dean , Dillingham , Ellis , Hildreth , Hill , Hitchborn , Hull , Maynard , Skinner , Tudor .—15.
ANSWER TO THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
May it please your Excellency;
The Senate beg leave to express to you, their sincere congratulations on your re-election to the Chief Magistracy of the Commonwealth. Not doubting the purity of the motives, which have ever guided your political conduct—fully believing that your administration has been uniformly intended to promote the public weal, and that our fellow citizens have felt and appreciated its good effects, we hesitate not, to add our unequivocal approbation, to that which is so clearly evinced by the repetition of their suffrages.
Whatever may have been the wishes of many. In regard to a choice of the President of the United States, we trust that the good sense and patriotism of those who are disappointed in the result, will lead them to render that respectful obedience to Constitutional authority which is justly due; and that the First Magistrate of our nation will, in administering the government, so adhere to its essential principles as will secure the confidence of the people, whose interest requires that he should possess it.
We fully accede, Sir, to the position that asperity and false colouring ought not to be indulged in the discussion of public measures and we sincerely lament, that the morals and liberties of the people have been, and still are endangered, by the licentiousness of the presses in the United States and that so many of our newspapers are the vehicles of misrepresentation, slander and falsehood.
Relying, under divine Providence, on a well organized and well disciplined militia, as the great defence of our country against enemies from abroad, and faction at home, the Senate will frequently and readily pay that legislative attention to the subject, which its importance demands.
The history of ancient republics furnishes us with so many melancholy testimonies of the fatality attending the ignorance of the people, and through this mean the subversion of free governments, that we are justified in the belief that a republic cannot preserve its purity, nor can it long exist, without the general diffusion of knowledge among every class of its citizens; and we readily adopt the sentiment that no subject of legislation can be more important. To effect so desirable an object, an early and unwearied attention to the instruction of our youth is indispensably necessary, and it is a duty which to neglect, would be a breach of the trust reposed in us by our constituents.
We duly estimate the wisdom of ancient and celebrated legislators on this subject, as well as the laudable examples of our wise and virtuous forefathers—albeit much has been done by former legislatures, in establishing institutions, for the instruction of our youth, in the principles of religion, morality and useful science, and in forming their tempers, manners and habits, yet much remains for their successors to do.
We will cheerfully co-operate with your Excellency, and the other branch of the Legislature, in ameliorating systems so honorable to our country, so essential to the support of a free government, and conducive to the happiness of society.
Take Notice—The gentlemen
composing the company of militia formerly commanded by captain Lewis Williamson , are requested to return the arms and accoutrements that have been delivered them, belonging to the state of Maryland, to the subscriber at the Navy Yard.
By order of the brigadier general, SAMUEL N. SMALLWOOD, First Lieutenant.

HOMESPUN. By the late Gov. Livingston.
Sic vos non vobis, vellera fertis oves. Ascribed to VIRGIL.
BY what strange fatality, by what unaccountable fortuitous concourse of atoms, has our homespun gone out of fashion, in a country that ought to glory in it; and in which its perpetuity would annually have saved thousands of pounds? O how have I been delighted to behold, in the county of Bergen, piles of this home wrought wool- len , not only intended for the dress of my male compatriots, but for the future investment of the delicate limbs of my fair country-women, towering like an Egyptian pyramid, between the bureau and the lateral wall, and keeping close company with the large brass clasped bible on the top of the former, as if to say, those sons and daughters of industry borrow their maxims from the scripture! How have I been delighted to think, that with such comfortable habitments, the sex in particular would be sheltered from the inclemency of our rigorous winters; while, with the flimsy importations of Asia and of Europe, they are continually exposed to all the diseases, caused by cold; perhaps to abortion! This laudable economy was not peculiar to Bergen. It is not long since that the manufacturing of our own cloth was very general amongst our farmers. Why is the practice so generally discontinued at present? Must we necessarily determine upon a domestic, because we have acquired a political revolution? And the former as ruinous as the latter is or may be made advantageous? Those who keep sheep, and have a sufficient number of hands to cultivate their farms, can certainly make homespun to advantage. The same hands, that at the proper seasons are employed in cultivating the field and performing other works of husbandry, have, at other times, leisure enough to apply themselves to this useful occupation; and no inconsiderable share of it may be carried on by the female part of the family. But, alas! alas! the unextinguishable rage for foreign finery! Those who most complain of the want of a circulating medium, seem to be the least attentive to what providence has with exuberant bounty, poured into their lap; and the most addicted to run mad after exotic luxuries. Doth a tire-woman in Paris send to London a doll completely accoutred to shew the new mode; away hie the English (notwithstanding their national insolence to, and their national contempt of, every other people upon the globe, away they hie) after the doll. At the sight of this pageant (O how wonderfully pretty!) off goes the present head-dress of every lady in the realm, to make room for the exact similitude and pattern of the coiffure of the newly-arrived, pretty, little, dear, charming stranger from France. The Parisian taylor in his turn, acts the like part, in order to produce the a-la-mode de Paris amongst the male part of the same aping nation. What is all this to us Americans, you ask, and what connection hath it with our homespun ? Why, I should not care about what fashions the French introduced amongst the English either by the address of their tire-women, or their tailors, did the matter stop there: but then the dress of this same confounded doll, and the artifices of the same confounded tailors, which, in the event, cost more than a million, are by England transported to America. On their arrival with us, away with the present head-dress of our women; away with the present fashions of the clothes of our men; and be ye all altered according to this new invention of France, and its consequent adoption by England, upon the pain and penalty of being called old fashioned . Now, it materially interferes with our homespun and with our fashions. Now, I have to do with it; and will have to do with it. Nay at present the matter is still worse, than formerly it was. At present, from our connection with his most christian majesty, these our allies need not take their ancient circuitous route, to introduce their new modes amongst us. We can now, without the intervention of England, have the honor of being their apes in the first instance. But why should we ape either of them? Respecting this matter I like the French as little as I do the English. Both have the same view in introducing this kind of luxury amongst us. It is to vend their manufactures. I dislike the views of both. I like our homespun and our own fashions. Why perpetually alter them? Why throw away clothes not half worn and very decent, merely to buy others of a different form? Doth this comport with the general complaint of the scarcity of money? It is monstrous extravagance.
The Chinese beyond all question the wisest people in the world, as to their internal police, never change the fashion of their dress. What immense sums of money are saved by this regulation! By the same regulation, the people called quakers save thousands. Will the world be eternally mad, with the wisdom of the Chinese and of the quakers before their eyes? Let us, my fellow-citizens, imitate those illustrious examples: and leave both the Parisians and the Londoners to their dolls and their tailors. Let us make homespun . My fair country-women will at least take my advice as far as homespun will go towards the composition of the petticoat. The beauty of that part of female dress can be no object; because, as to the virgin part of the sex especially, it is presumed to be invisible . To your homespun , my fellow citizens. Have the patriotism to disappoint both Gaul and Albion in their arts, to drain your every copper for their trifles and baubles. Disappoint both of them in their contest who shall make the most of you; and which of them shall soonest ruin you. To your homespun , I say. And in order to facilitate its fabric, I would advise our farmers to desist from their present practice of selling their best lambs to the butcher: and at the same time urge the utility of exchanging their rams with some distant farmer every year.
In Chancery, May 30, 1801. ON application to the chancellor by petition in writing of Charles Wayman, praying the benefit of "An act for the relief of sundry insolvent debtors," passed at the last session of the general assembly on the terms therein mentioned: there is annexed to his petition a schedule of his property, and a list of his creditors on oath, as by the said act is required; the said Charles Wayman is a person known to the chancellor to be at this time, and to have been at the time of passing the said act, a citizen of the United States and of this state. And the said Charles Wayman having produced to the chancellor the assent in writing of so many of his creditors as have due to them according to the list aforesaid, the amount of two thirds of the debts due by him at the time of passing the said act. It is thereupon adjudged and ordered that the said Charles Wayman appear before the chancellor in the chancery office, on the second day of July next, for the purpose of taking the oath by the said act prescribed for delivering up his property for the benefit of his creditors; and that by causing a copy of this order to be inserted three Tuesdays or Fridays in the Baltimore Telegraph or a newspaper of the City of Washington three weeks before the twenty second day of June next, and by serving a copy of this order on any three or more of his creditors who have due to them two thousand dollars, before the said twenty second day of June next, he give notice to his creditors to attend on the said second day of July next, for the purpose of recommending a trustee for their benefit.

WASHINGTON CITY. FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1801.
The agent and factors of American merchants, at St. Croix, have obtained permission from the British Commandant, at that place, to export sugars to the United States in payment of such debts as were contracted before the capture of the Island.
Capt. Steel, of the Young Eagle, arrived at New-York from Malaga, in 60 days, informs that the Algerine cruisers were out; but captain S. had not heard of their taking any American vessels. [New-York paper.]
The Intelligence that a British expedition against Manilla had failed, is corroborated by the information of captain Newell; who touched at St. Helena on his passage home, and who has arrived at Boston.
It is mentioned in an Amsterdam paper, received at Baltimore, that the French Admiral Gantheaume has been put under arrest by the Government, for having returned with his fleet to Toulon, in direct violation of his orders—which were, that he should proceed without delay to Egypt, to reinforce the army under General Menou.
From a London paper, April 28. At Pontefract sessions last week, the cloth supervisors delivered to the magistrates the accounts of the number of broad and narrow cloths milled in the West Riding, for the last twelve months, of which the following is an exact statement. Broad cloths, 285,851 pieces, containing 9,263,966 yards.—Narrow cloths, 159,262 pieces, containing 9,014,420 yards.—Increased in broad cloths, 13096 pieces, or 457,278 yards.—Decreased in narrow cloths, 10,906 pieces, or 362,857 yards.
A person, says a Paris paper of the 26th April, who had been blind for 21 years, recovered his light instantaneously, without any other assistance than that afforded by nature, often mysterious in her operations.
Capt. John Barton, lately from Jamaica where his vessel and cargo were condemned in toto, has furnished us with a list of American vessels carried in there since the first of April last, amounting to thirty sail—13 of which were totally condemned, 5 cleared and appealed by the captors, and 12 were waiting for trial. As the owners and concerned have very probably learnt the fate of their property, it will be unnecessary to publish the list. It is to be observed, that those vessels which are acquitted by the Hon. Judge, are in every instance appealed for by the captors. The cargoes are generally sold before the trial, by order of the court. The costs of court are always thrown upon the claimants, when acquitted—and if condemned, the claimants pay always their own costs, amounting to 1500 or 2000 dollars. The property, when appealed for by the captors, remains in some merchant's hands, so that the owners will not realize his property for 18 months or two years, if the sentence should not be reverted. It would be advisable for merchants who trade to the Islands of Cuba, Hispaniola, and to the Spanish Main, to establish an agent or correspondent at Kingston Jamaica, so that their captains or supercargoes may not find it difficult to procure sureties for trial, when carried in there. The court of Vice Admiralty sits but once in thirty days, and then they try but 7 or 8 cases; and vessels laying over the first court after bringing in are generally eat up by the worms.

FREE-TOWN, May 25.
THUNDER STORM. On Friday the 22d inst. about 3 o'clock P. M. the clouds being collected, heavy, though distant thunder was heard. The lightning appeared strong and vivid; but from the distance nothing uncommon was expected. About half past six, the electric fluid, in a column apparently a foot in diameter, descended to the ground, about fifteen rods from the dwelling house of Mr. J. Morton; broke an apple tree off by the ground, and stripped the branches nearly to the top. On entering the ground in a body it proceeded about two feet, and then divided into three parts, each pursuing its
own direction, and each opening a fosse in its process; then subsiding till it ceased to leave any visible track. A quantity of earth and gravel estimated at five tons weight was then thrown into the air at a considerable height. Four men were eye-witnesses to the potent scene: their opinions of the elevation of the bodies are different, from forty to sixty feet. One fact is sufficient to prove they must be to a considerable height, stones of the bigness of a man's head were found three rods from the cavity, which had been impelled to such a height as by their returning gravity to bury themselves wholly into the earth through a tough sod. Large bodies of earth, some supposed to weigh 200, were removed to the distance of 40 feet. A person standing in the door fronting the explosion, was forced from the door to a partition about eight feet back.
A scene so grand, so sublime and so majestically powerful, was never before witnessed by the beholders.
ANSWER. Of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, Presented by Messrs. Pickman, Bigelow Jarvis, Blake and Mitchell.
May it please your Excellency. THE House of Representatives sincerely congratulate your Excellency, and their fellow citizens, upon your re-election to the office of First Magistrate of this Commonwealth. The renewed testimony of the public confidence, at this period, must be highly grateful, as it affords the strongest evidence of your having discharged the important duties of your high trust with wisdom and impartiality. Notwithstanding the diffidence you have been pleased to express, the whole tenor of your public life inspires us with the fullest confidence, that your best endeavours will be successfully continued to advance the reputation and welfare of your constituents, to preserve their rights, unimpaired, and to select those only for public office, who are most distinguished for abilities and integrity. Although in the late election of President of the United States, the result may not have corresponded with the wishes of many of our fellow-citizens, yet we do most sincerely hope, and are encouraged to believe, that the happiness so confidently anticipated by some, and so cordially desired by all, may ultimately ensue from that important event. As members of a republic, whose basis is the will of the people, we consider, that the best claim to the character of good and faithful citizens is founded on a cheerful obedience to the laws, and a uniform respect for the constitutional authorities of our nation. And we cannot refrain from indulging the hope, that he who was so eminently concerned in establishing our independence, will not be betrayed into a dereliction of the pure principles of the Federal system which has arisen out of that independence. But if these anticipations should not be realized, still a regard to truth, to justice, and to the public welfare, ought to exclude all alacrity and false colouring from the discussion of public measures, for if the free press of our country are disgracefully prostituted to faction and falsehood, they will greatly endanger, if not eventually subvert, the morals and the liberties of the people.
The organization and discipline of the militia, being entrusted to the state governments, we shall give our frequent attention to objects so essentially connected with the public safety.
We fully agree with your Excellency in opinion, that there is no subject of State Legislation more important to the preservation of our free governments, or more interesting to the happiness of society, than the instruction of the people, and particularly the education of youth. It is not enough to instruct children in useful learning, it is of still higher concern to habituate them to restraint, to form their tempers and manners by the principles of benevolence and justice, to awaken the useful energies of their understandings, to cherish the virtuous propensities of their hearts, and to teach them the important lesson of self-command; thus educated they seldom fail to make quiet and useful members of society, while those who are idle and untrained in early life, generally become turbulent and seditious at mature age.
Our wise and pious ancestors were strongly impressed with the importance of this subject. Scarcely had they reached this inhospitable shore, when they provided schools for the education of their children in literature, and in the principles of religion and morality. They early founded the University at Cambridge, to which our country is indebted for so many great

and useful men. We consider the civil and religious institutions which we have inherited from those venerable ancestors, as invaluable. To those institutions, under Divine Providence, we ascribe the present honorable and prosperous condition of this commonwealth. We therefore esteem it our highest wisdom to cherish, and if possible, to improve them, and one of our first duties to transmit them unimpaired to our posterity.
We are deeply impressed with the importance and necessity of providing for a due observance of the Sabbath, which we consider as essentially connected with the preservation of religion, the only sure foundation of human virtue and happiness. If our laws, in this respect, are defective, we will endeavour to amend them, paying, at the same time, that regard to the rights of conscience, which a wise and liberal policy, as well as our state constitutions require.
Every one must acknowledge, that Public Worship is useful, even as a school of good manners, and of decent and orderly deportment, and that the meeting together of the people to be instructed in their religious and moral duties, and to contemplate the wisdom and goodness with which the Almighty governs the world, must tend to impress on their minds that reverential love for the supreme Being, which is the highest and noblest motive of human actions. If any of the towns or plantations in the commonwealth are unable to provide the means of instruction for their children, we conceive that the public good requires they should have such assistance as may be required for this purpose. We doubt not your excellency's ready concurrence in every measure conducive to the public welfare, which the legislature may deem it expedient to propose.
From the (London) Times, of the 27th April.
ROYAL ACADEMY On Saturday the Academicians and Associates admitted the Patrons and Friends of this laudable institution to inspect the productions of the different artists, and gave their annual dinner before the opening of the Exhibition for public view. The company was numerous, and among the visitors and amateurs of the Fine arts, were Prince William of Gloucester, the Archbishop of York the Bishops of London, Durham, &c. Lords Besborough, Grenville, Hawkesbury, Sheffield, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Wm. Hamilton, Sir Joseph Banks, Messrs. Windham, Malone, Deansfans, Locke, Knight, Townly, &c. with most of the Foreign Ministers.
In our announce of the opening of the Exhibition it cannot be expected that we shall do more than notice in a slight sketch the principle productions.
The President,* who appear indefatigable in the exercise, if not the cultivation of his art, has this year a considerable number of Pictures; the subjects chiefly taken from Holy Writ, and executed in his usual style. They are mostly on a small scale, and among them are several excellent sketches.
Opie, both in variety of execution, and in improvement, claims particular notice. His pictured of the love-sick maid who "Who never told her love," with a Physician feeling her pulse, but unable to discover her complaint, and "administer to a mind diseased," is a chef d'œuvre, under every consideration and impression of the art.
Northcote's grand piece is taken from the following scene in Shakespeare's Tempest—
Miranda — You have often Begun to tell me what I am but stopt, And left me to the bootless inquisition, Concluding, stay—not yet."
Prospero — The hour's now come; The very minute bids the open thine ear; Obey and be attentive."
The representation of the sea resuming its serenity, after the fury of the tempests is highly natural; but notwithstanding the excellence of the design and colouring the whole would have been attended with superior effect, had Caliban, who is depicted in the act of rising from the ground, been marked in characters more brutal and savage.
Wistall continues to embellish his sketches with all the fascination of colouring for which they have been so long distinguished.
Stothard exhibits but one small picture;—the fatal sisters poising through the battles rage and singling out their victims. The pencil of the Artist is evidently overpowered by the magnitude of the subject.
Fuseli has displayed the force of genius in his picture of Celadon and Amelia from Thompson's seasons. The tout ensemble is awful, and produces the desired effect; there is an incongruity in the parts, and an extravagance in the colouring that shrink from critical inspection.
Turner has several excellent pictures, and many drawings that would do honour to the most distinguished artist. The description of the destruction of an army by a whirlwind from Jeremiah, is truly admirable.
Beechy gives a whole length of the Duke of York, another of Lord Nelson, and several highly finished portraits.
Russel has also some good portraits, and affords numerous specimens of excellence in his line.
Among the Landscape Painters; Sir Francis Bourgeois, Loutherburg, and Daniell take the lead. Loutherburg has in particular been more industrious than on any former occasion. The pencil of W. Hamilton has been this year uncommonly successful, and has furnished a great number of interesting pictures.—That in which Ulysses overcomes the enchantress Circe is one of the best.
The Millenial Age, from Isaiah, paraphrased by Cowper;—
"The mother sees, And smiles to see, her infant's playful Hand stretched forth to daily with The crested worm, to stroke his azure neck, or to receive the lambent homage of his arrowy tongue,"
must prove a considerable addition to the reputation of Corbould the artist. It is unquestionably one of the finest productions in the exhibition.
Thompson; a pupil of Opie, just returned from Italy, gives, in several pieces on subjects of simplicity, abundant promise of future pre-eminence.
Tresham, Stubbs, Girter, Edwards, and Begg, have essentially contributed to the present display of taste and judgment in the art.
The largest picture in the Exhibition is Kemble, in Hamlet, by Lawrence. The subject is the Prince of Denmark moralizing on Yorick's skull. The likeness is excellent, and the artist evinced peculiar attention in characteristic delineation.
Hoppner, Smirke, and Sir G. Beaumont, do not exhibit this season.
Among the Sculptural Pieces, and Architectural Designs, there are several pieces distinguished for taste and correctness.
The Miniatures, though last, are not the least in number.
The present Exhibition, though inferior to the two last in collective grandeur of design and splendour of execution, is calculated to afford much gratification to the amateurs and admirers of the Fine Arts.

On the 1st of January, and 1st of July, to the party in person or his legal attorney during his life or the continuance of his disability. But if the pension is to be paid on a power of attorney, the loan officer must have it ascertained by the certificate of a Justice of the peace of the county where the pensioner resides, that he was living, and that his disability continued, in the month next preceding that in which payment is to be made every year, and must transmit the same to the Accountant of the Navy with the necessary receipts as vouchers for his payments.
Each person to be placed on the pension list, must receive at the Navy Office a certificate in the following form.

HENRY DEARBORN, Secretary of War. 2awt30J

THERE is, in the character of every distinguished person, something to admire, and something to imitate. The incidents, that have marked the life of a great man, always excite curiosity, and often afford improvement. If there be talents, which we can never expect to equal; if there be a series of good fortune, which we can never expect to enjoy, we still need not lose the labour of our biographical enquiries. We may probably become acquainted with habits, which it may be prudent to adopt, and discover virtues, which we cannot fail to applaud. It will be easy for the reader to make a full application of these remarks, in his contemplations upon the late celebrated Dr. Franklin. By his death one of the best lights of the world may be said to be extinguished. I shall not attempt any historical details of the life of this illustrious patriot and philosopher, as I have nothing further in view than to make a few comments upon the most striking traits of his character.
Original genius was peculiarly his attribute. The native faculties of his mind qualified him to penetrate into every science, and his unremitting diligence left no field of knowledge unexplored. There were no limits to his curiosity. His enquiries were spread over the whole face of nature. But the study of man seemed to be his highest delight: and if his genius had any special bias, it lay in discovering those things that made men wiser and happier. As truth was the sole object of his researches, he was of course no sectary: and as reason was his guide, he embraced no system which that did not authorise. In short, he laid the whole volume of nature open before him, and diligently and faithfully perused it.
Nor were his political attainments less conspicuous than his philosophical. The ancients usually ranked good fortune among those circumstances of life which indicate merit. In this view Dr. Franklin is almost unrivalled, having seldom undertaken more than he accomplished. The world are too well acquainted with the events of his political career, to require, at this time, a particular enumeration of them. It may be presumed the historians of the American revolution will exhibit them in proper colours.
If Dr. Franklin did not aspire after the splendor of eloquence, it was only because the demonstrative plainness of his manner was superior to it. Though he neither loved political debate, nor excelled in it, he still preserved much influence in public assemblies, and discovered an aptitude in his remarks, on all occasions. He was not fond of taking a leading part in such investigations, as could never terminate in any degree of certainty. To come forward in questions, which, in their nature, are indefinite, and, in their issue, problematical, does not comport with the caution of a man, who has taught himself to look for demonstration. He reserved his observations, for those cases, which science could enlighten, and common sense approve. The simplicity of his style was well adapted to the clearness of his understanding. His conceptions were so bright and perfect, that he did not choose to involve them in a cloud of expressions. If he used metaphors, it was to illustrate, and not to embellish the truth. A man, possessing such a lively imagery of ideas, should never affect the arts of a vain rhetorician, whose excellence consists only in a beautiful arrangement of words.
But whatever claims to eminence Dr. Franklin may have, as a politician, or a scholar, there is no point of light, in which his character shines with more lustre, than when we view him as a man or a citizen. He was eminently great in common things. Perhaps no man ever existed, whose life can, with more justice, be denominated useful. Nothing ever passed through his hands, without receiving improvement: and no person ever went into his company, without gaining wisdom. His sagacity was so sharp, and his science so various, that, whatever might be the profession or occupation of those, with whom he conversed, he could meet every one upon his own ground. He could enliven every conversation with an anecdote, and conclude it with a moral.
The whole tenor of his life was a perpetual lecture against the idle, the extravagant, and the proud. It was his principal aim to inspire mankind with a love of industry, temperance, and frugality; and to inculcate such duties as promote the important interests of humanity. He never wasted a moment of time, or lavished a farthing of money, in folly or dissipation. Such expenses as the dignity of his station required, he readily sustained, limiting them by the strictest rules of propriety. Many public
affairs, and he manifested a tendency of heart by numerous acts of private charity. By a judicious division of time, Dr. Franklin acquired the art of doing every thing to advantage; and his amusements were of such a nature, as could never militate with the main objects of his pursuit. In whatever situation he was placed by chance or design, he extracted something useful for himself or others. His life was remarkably full of incident. Every circumstance of it turned to some valuable account. The maxims, which his discerning mind has formed, apply to innumerable cases and characters. Those who move in the lowest, equally with those who move in the most elevated rank in society, may be guided by his instructions. In the private deportment of his life, he, in many respects, has furnished a most excellent model. His manners were easy and accommodating, and his address winning and respectful. All, who knew him, speak of him as a most agreeable man; and all, who have heard of him, applaud him as a very useful one. A man so wise, and so amiable, could not but have many admirers, and many friends.
