THE AGES OF REASON. FRENCH Liberty's a farce: Like Collet d'Herbais, all her sons are players: All have their exits and their entrances, France, in her turn, in vice and folly's Drama, Hath play'd her part. First, Philosophic Infancy Nurs'd by Voltaire, and mewing for reform: Then Tiers-Etat , with scions of Rights of Man, And front rebellions, with monarchic pow'r Unwillingly combin'd. Then Citizens , Frantic as Hell, with many a fete and hymn To trumpery Goddesses. Then Jacobins , Full of strange projects, bloody as the 'pard', Jealous of neighbouring nations, quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble, dear Equality, Even in the cannon's mouth. Then Regicides , In foul convention, drench'd with Louis's blood, With red-capt heads, or heads cut off sans form; Full of old Rome and modern Guillotine, And to they play their part. The Sixth age shifts Into a lean, half-famish'd horde of slaves, Five knaves their Kings, the r pouches cram'd with manna; Their youthful constitution far too free For their shrunk souls; and the big voice of Freedom Turning to childish adulation, courts A proud Directory. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful Revolution, Is barb'rous anarchy, mere savage life; Sans trade, sans laws, sans God; sans every thing. MORATION. [Ldn. p.]
FROM A LATE ENGLISH PAPER.
BUONAPARTE'S EXPEDITION. During the present anxiety respecting the design of Buonaparte's expedition, and the practicability of the voyage to India, the following observation on the Monsoons, extracted from the Bombay Calender must be interesting. OUR readers will not require to be told, that our year is divided into two grand seasons, or as they are called, the South West and North East Monsoons; that the first generally prevails from May to the middle of September, inclusive, the other during the remaining months; yet we must premise this as an introduction to what follows: We need scarcely to observe, that during the South West Monsoon, all the ports and roadsteads on this side of India deny approach—so much so that between the 15th of May and the 1st of September, ships are precluded by their policies from touching upon the Malabar coast, or from lying in Surat roads between the 1st of May and the 1st of September. Generally speaking the Monsoon is considered to extend from Dunder-head, the southern extremity of Ceylon, to the Persian gulph; in order to attain which, who should fail at this season, would be obliged to make what is called a southern passage, that is, go first to the south of the Equator, before they could stretch over to the westward, a voyage that would occupy for Muscat about 40 days, and to Bussorah about two months; the same objection exists against failing at this season to any part of the Arabian coast; as for the Red Sea, it is considered in vain to attempt entering it at this season—nor can it be said to be favourable to fail now to the Cape, the Mauritius, or any port to the westward. To the other side of India on the contrary, it is now the most advantageous period of departing. From the middle of April even to the middle of August, a voyage to Madras may be made in about 12 or 15 days; to Bengal, from 15 to 20 days; after this time it becomes excessively tedious from the necessity of keeping to the Eastern side of the bay to avoid the violent weather on the Coromandel coast; for the same reason the south west Monsoon is eligible to leave Bombay for any of the ports in the gulph of Bengal or the Straits of Malacca: hence also it is the season for failing to China; after the 20th of August, however, what is called the direct passage to China becomes very precarious, with much probability of finding blowing weather in the China seas. With regard to the ports from which ships may be expected to arrive at Bombay during this monsoon; it may be laid down as a general rule, that the quarters favourable to fail during any season, are those that are unfavourable to expect arrivals from, and vice versa: hence, from the Persian Gulph, the Red Sea, the Cape of Good Hope, and the westward in general, this is the most favourable period to expect arrivals; from Muscat, a trip may now be made in 10 or 12 days, from Mocha in 20 days, and Suez in about a month; it should be remarked, that after September the Red Sea admits of no egress: ships consequently remaining there beyond that time, must continue there all the north-east monsoon, and are said to have lost their passage; on this account the 25th of August is the latest day to which our cruisers are allowed to remain at Suez. From the Cape a passage may be made in five or six weeks, from the Mauritius, in three weeks or a month. The south-west monsoon is also the most favourable season in which a passage may be made from Batavia or any ports to the eastward, through these southern straits; from Batavia to Bombay in particular, a passage may be made in about 35 days. From Madras and Bengal during the south-west monsoon, it is necessary to make the southern passage in order to reach Bombay; this will require in a passage from Madras, from 30 to 40 days, and from Bengal from 45 to 60 days, from the necessity of working out of the river, and beating down the Bay to clear Acheen-head; from the Straits of Malacca it is an arduous task to fail for this port, or even to any one in the Peninsula of India, owing to the difficulty of wearing round Acheen-head. We have now to treat of the north-east monsoon, or the season which may be considered as included between the 15th of August and the 15th of April, in which, the first circumstance that occurs to us to remark, is that our coast is rendered in a peculiar manner secure and favorable to navigation; it is now considered the most eligible period for failing to the Persian Gulph, and in general to all ports to the westward: to Muscat the trip is generally 15, and to Bussorah 28 days. The time suitable for
falling to Mocha and Suez, is from the middle of February to the middle of March, when a passage may be made to the first in 18 days, to the second in 25. If a ship be delayed till the latter end of March or the beginning of April, the passage becomes more tedious, being then obliged to make the land to the southward of the island of Socotra, before the Gulph can be entered, on account of the southerly winds which prevail, and a current setting to the northward. After the 15th of April, a ship bound to the Red Sea would be very likely to lose her passage.
Between the 15th of August and the 15th of September, it may be considered favourable to fail to Madras and Bengal, but after this time the season is suspended, owing to the setting in of the North-east monsoon on the other side of India, which closes the ports on the coast of Coromandel, Golconda, and Orissa, between the 15th of October and the 15th of December, at least this period is excepted in common policies of insurance: after this time again a passage may be made to Madras in 30, and Bengal in 50 days, this season may be deemed unfavourable to the coast of Pegu and the Straits of Malacca, but for the Straits of Sunda, Batavia, for example, it is the best adapted: a passage thither may be made in 35 days.
With regard to the seasonable imports in this monsoon, it is at no time more advantageous than now for coming from the Coromandel Coast and in short the whole Bay: a passage may be made from Madras in 26 days, from Bengal in a month, and Penang a month. From the Persian Gulph it is no less favourable, the passage from Muscat being about 10 days; and from Bussorah 28. The Red Sea is now closed; nor is it reasonable to expect arrivals from the Cape or the Straits of Sunda; from the latter in particular it is almost impossible at this season to make a tolerable passage.
FOREIGN ARTICLES. EXTRACTS FROM ENGLISH PAPERS.
LONDON, September 18. The independence which France bestows upon the Republics which she has formed is, to be perfectly dependent upon her; and the liberty of doing what she pleases. "You shall be King, and I will be Viceroy over you."
A French Loan has been whispered at Madrid; but Don John, who is a sulky sort of a gentleman at times, declares he will let it alone.
Amsterdam once so distinguishable for the firmness of its policy, and the decorum of its manners, is said to have now become the sink of vice and debauchery. Every street is crowded with prostitutes, and almost every house is a Brothel.
Wednesday last upwards of 300 French prisoners, taken by the Hazard sloop of war (coming from the Mauritius,) were landed at Liverpool; amongst many females captured, one heroic Joan of Arc was seen, who stood to her gun, and commanded the men during the action; her child accompanied her as she marched along guarded by British soldiers.
It now appears, that the united English, Russian, and Turkish fleets are to be employed in transporting from Greece to Alexandria the army of the Captain Pacha, who has left Widdin, and is on his march to the Archipelago.
The books, manuscripts, and curiosities sent from the Vatican at Rome, and the Library of St. Mark at Venice, to Paris, have not received any damage in carriage. The manuscripts are in the highest preservation, and are bound with much elegance. Among the antiquities are, a sacred vessel in gold filigree, of singular workmanship; two gold crosses, enriched with precious stones; two golden crowns, one of which belonged to King Flavius Agilus, and the other to Queen Theodolinda. They are of a circular form, ornamented with stones, and were used at the coronation of the Lombard Kings. There are also some large tables of marble and porphyry, with Greek inscriptions upon them. All the curiosities have been placed in the Cabinet of Antiquities at Paris.
We have been told of the immense sums gained by our Naval Commanders. The public should also be acquainted with their liberality. The wife of Rovere, one of the Deputies sent to Cayenne, and one of those who are now arrived in England, was, with a great number of Priests, taken some time ago by Sir Edward Pellew, in a French frigate going to Cayenne. She had sold all her property in France to go to join her unhappy husband, and had with her about 3000l.—Sir Edward has given back to her the 3000l., and has paid the sailors their share out of his own purse.
[The following important article is a specimen of the ingenuity of London Editors, in the art of paragraph-making.]
The complaint in the Princess Amelia's knee, is said to yield to the remedies that are now going on, by the advice of the attending faculty, at Worthing, in Sussex, as far as respects the fears that from a defect in the Synovia , there would be a constant stiffness in the joint; but it is doubtful when, young as she is, her Royal Highness will recover the full use of it.
Several accounts have been given of large floating vessels, but none equal to the following:—Philopater, an Egyptian King, built a vessel of 40 ranks of oars—more like a castle or palace than a ship; being in length 420 feet, and in breadth 72; containing 4000 rowers, 400 mariners, and 3000 soldiers.
It appears, by a private letter from that excellent prelate, the bishop of Killala, that the expenses in keeping his visitants, the French, at his palace, in six days, amounted to 500l. The French general who commanded at
Killala, told the bishop, that during all the campaigns he had made with Buonaparte, he had never suffered so much as in the small stay he made in Ireland.
The following particulars come from a gentleman who was on the scene of action during the late momentous business in Ireland, to his friend in Bath. The circumstances may have appeared in the public papers before, but their being written by a private hand, adds to their interest and establishes their authenticity.
After giving an account of the surrender of the French troops as appeared in the Gazette, he says, "The rebels who were with them, are completely cut to pieces; they were put in the front of the battle by their new friends, and from their great slaughter, it is generally understood on their giving way before our troops, they were cannonaded by the French according to their plan at the battle of Jemappé.—The French would have surrendered some days previous provided the Irish who were in their camp, should be included: this, Lord Cornwallis absolutely refused, and the deluded rebels in consequence, had no quarter given them."
"You have no idea how admirably Lord Cornwallis conducts himself; he adheres to no party whatever; he listens attentively to all, but judges and acts from himself."
"The Limerick militia have gained immortality; they sustained the shock of the army for upwards of two hours. Col. Verelst has got infinite credit by it.—Lord Roden greatly distinguished himself, and his regiment behaved in a most gallant manner. In the first charge, after driving his men, he advanced so far before his regiment, that he fell into the hands of the enemy; which, when the regiment perceived, they determined to a man to retake him, or perish in the attempt—they accordingly charged again with such firmness and impetuosity, that they brought off their adored colonel in triumph. This little business has given such an energy to the army, and to militia regiments in particular, that I verily believe were the French to effect another landing, they would not keep their ground a second day."
September 27. Carnot, it is said, resides at a village near Lintz, where, under an assumed name, he enjoys bare toleration, without the slightest favor or countenance from the Austrian government. He is busily employed in writing memoirs of the revolution, which will disclose many interesting secrets, and which more particularly will illustrate those military operations which he planned and of which the consequences seem likely to change the whole face of the earth.
The Roman territory continues to be dreadfully distracted. Troops are constantly marching from one place to another to quell the disturbances. The French commander in chief has published an order, making every commune responsible for the outrages committed within its jurisdiction. In the article of liberty, the disinterestedness of the French may justly become proverbial. They have been so liberal in the distribution of free Governments, that they have forgot to keep one for themselves.
September 28. This day a mail arrived from Dublin.—Teeling, who many expected would receive a pardon, on account of the humanity he had shown in refraining the vindictive passions of the rebels who had joined the French on their landing, has been executed, as a warning to other natural born subjects, not to deceive themselves by a belief, that acting under a foreign commission will be held a good plea for acts of rebellion.
September 29. By the activity of our cruisers along the coast from Dunkirk to Ostend, the French troops in that quarter are greatly harassed. Sometimes an attack is threatened at one point, sometimes at another, and the enemy's force, much weakened, by drafts to the Rhine, are exposed to instant defeat.
Of the companions of Pichegru, Ruelle was Commander of the National Guard of Paris; Willot was a Deputy, and had commanded the troops of the line at Marcellies; Rovere was a Marquis under the old Government, was deeply implicated in some of those bloody scenes which passed at Avignon in 1791; but in 1793, became one of the most zealous and formidable opponents of the Directory, in the Council of Five Hundred.
Suard, one of the writers sentenced to transportation, on the 4th of September, has found an asylum at the house of his old friend M'Neeke, at Copen, where that ex-minister resides, hitherto undisturbed by the storms of the Helvetic Revolution.
Pichegru professes the warmest gratitude for the kindness which he experienced from the officers of the Walloon, who showed to this unfortunate general all the politeness of English gentlemen, and all the generosity of English seamen.
Barbarities of the United Irishmen.
DUBLIN, Sept. 22. Wednesday night, a numerous gang of above 100 desperadoes, entered the house of Mrs. Lamb, near Old Bawn and Tallagh, in the county of Dublin, and plundered it of cash, and every portable article of value it contained. While the villains were in the house, they appeared to be under great apprehension, for they were frequently heard to say, "Boys, mind the piquet," which we suppose was a guard of their party who stationed at the outside, to be on the watch. They were going to hang a gentleman who was a visitor in the house, and had a rope about his neck for the purpose; but some less cruel than their comrades, interfered, and saved his life.
On Wednesday last a poor inoffensive man, named James Milley, was seized by a party of Wicklow Rebels, as he was saving his little crop of hay on the lands of Merganslow in that county: he was carried by them to a short distance from his own habitation, and placed against a wall by the merciless villains, who fired at him, and lodged three balls in his head. This unhappy man was by trade a carpenter; had not been enrolled in any yeomanry corps, or been at all forward in opposition to the Rebels; indeed, the remorseless villains did not accept him as any other crime than that of being a Protestant.

MORE OF BUONAPARTES'S EXPEDITION.
Some accounts of the constitution of Egypt, Under the government of the Bays.
Egypt is called a Turkish Province, but it is in fact a Monarchical, Aristocratical, Military Government. The Bays or Governors of the eighty Provinces have all the power in their hands, and support their authority by their confederates, the Mamelouk soldiery.
The name of Mamelouk is given to those children who have been carried off by merchants or robbers from Georgia, Circassia, Nubia, and the other provinces of the Ottoman Empire, and afterwards exposed to public sale in the public market at Constantinople, or Cairo.
Almost all the Mamelouks are sprung from Christian parents. After they are purchased, they are compelled to embrace the Mohammedan religion, and learn the Turkish and Arabic languages.
From their earliest youth likewise, the Mamelouks are taught to ride, and the exercise of the spear, the lance, and other arms. They are constantly exercising in military evolutions, inured to the heat of the climate, and to endure the parching drought of the desert.
When the Turkish emperor Selim, in the year 1517, conquered Egypt, he endeavored to preserve this important conquest to gain the favour of the Mamelouks.
The Bays are tenable of the advantages of their situation, and abuse their power most grossly. A Pacha retains his authority only while he favours their views.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26.
THIS DAY'S MAILS Brings nothing New.
THE public attention has been called during the past week to the flagrant and atrocious fact of the existence of a Society of United Irishmen in this City. The meeting which gave rise to our remarks, has doubtless been held, and the proposed plans agreed on. Instead therefore of relaxing in our attention to these designs, there is a manifest call for increased vigilance.
When their majesties of France, invaded Ireland, they set forth one of their objects to be, the restoration of the Irish to the unrestrained enjoyment of the Catholic worship, for that they themselves, being Catholics, the task would be peculiarly grateful to them.
Some people are led to suppose, that because the Arabs are a loose and disorderly banditti, that the army of Buonaparte, being so powerful and well-appointed, must triumph over all their efforts. But there are a number of circumstances, abstracted from the consideration of physical force, which must operate the destruction of the French.
Whoever gives to these considerations their true force, must be persuaded that the mighty host of Buonaparte, long ere this day, is scattered like chaff before the winds of Egypt; and I only wish, that instead of 30, he had 300,000 men with him.
The six following states have ratified, in the following order, the amendment to the constitution, proposed by the state of Massachusetts,—and which goes to the exclusion of foreigners from the office of President and Vice President, and from a seat in either house of congress, viz.
Mr Gallatin doublets views with much concern the approaching period to his patriotic labors. How cruel was it to lay a plot which must inevitably cut short the mellifluous warblings of his tuneful tongue.
With whatever reluctance the horrible example before our eyes may induce us to view innovations, every patriotic American must rejoice in the prospect of having exo revolutionists excluded from our councils, at a time when we find the in rigues of our own varieties a match for all our watchfulness and energy.
The miraculous traveller, Bruce, tells us of a custom, prevalent amongst the Egyptians, of cutting fleeces off the haunches of live cattle. This practice may prove extremely convenient to the French under Buonaparte—It is certainly extremely congenial to the humanity of their natures.
It is supposed by some, that owing to the famed fertility of Egypt, and its abundance in corn and every kind of grain, the French will find little difficulty in supplying an army of 30,000 men.
The second Session of the sixth Congress, commences in Philadelphia, this day week, conformably to the Constitution.
The French prisoners confined at New-Castle, attempted lately to break jail, but were restrained by the vigilance and activity of the keepers. It is not improbable they had received intimation of the design to transport them back to their blessed land of liberty, and that they were animated to this attempt by a desire to escape the disagreeable destiny.
A gentleman contends that the Barbarity of an enemy can be no source of alarm to the French; as this has long been a conspicuous trait of their republicanism, and having, by long practice refined it into system, they are unquestionably the greatest Barbarians in the Universe.
We are happy to find that the serious attention of the citizens has at length been turned to an object of the last importance to us all—the means of preventing the future introduction of the Yellow-Fever into the city.
A committee has been appointed, at a meeting of citizens to confer with the Board of Health, on the selection of such judicious and intelligent persons in each ward as can be found willing to undertake the business, who may, when clothed with due authority from the Board, examine and ascertain what houses and what bedding there may appear good grounds to believe are infected, and to use the proper means of purification.
The above mentioned committee has also been constituted a committee of correspondence, for the purpose of communicating with the principal towns in the Union, and a circular letter has been written, accordingly.
A memorial has further been prepared for presentation to the state Legislature. The Committee above mentioned, consists of the following Gentlemen:
Northern Liberties; George Budd, George Ingles, Joseph Cowperthwait. For the City. North Mulberry Ward; Godfrey Haga. South Mulberry Ward; Thomas Allibone. Upper Delaware; Nicholas Diehl. Lower Delaware; Jonathan Willis. High Street; Mahlon Hutchinson. North Ward; Charles Pleasants. Chestnut Ward; John Stille. Middle Ward; Isaac Paxton. Walnut Ward; Ebenezer Large. South Ward; Thomas Harrison. Dock Ward; Miers Fisher. New Market Ward; Thomas Atmore. Southwark; Robert Jones, Joseph Marsh, jun. Richard Tittermary. Moyamensing; Joseph Burd.

Extract of a letter from Wilmington, North Carolina, dated November 3d, 1798. "Since my last, almost all the remaining part of this unfortunate town, has been destroyed by fire. It broke out about two o'clock in the morning; in a large house occupied by one Parish, nearly adjoining Henry Urquhart, which destroyed all that square up to the market, and down to Malters—thence across to the square of which my store made a corner, and swept the whole up to Berquin's large house, one or two small buildings excepted, I suppose about one hundred and thirty. Sixty dwelling houses ware-houses and stores were consumed. It stopped at Bernard's, without consuming his house."

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A. SHAEFFER, of Philadelphia, who has for a few years past been in the Southern States, has had the effrontery to draw several Bills of Exchange on Timothy Pickering, Esq.
