THE CORPORAL, No. 1.
Rem facias, recte si possis
Si non, quocunque modo, rem - HORACE.
Get money by all means, get money, my lad,
By good means were better - but by good means
or bad.
WHEN we take a contemplative view of
mankind, we find them pretty much the
same in every age. From the most distant
annals of antiquity down to the present day,
certain propensities have discovered them-
selves to be predominant in the human
mind, and have influenced more or less the
actions of men. Such is the desire for be-
coming rich. Many men have adopted the
maxim we have quoted from Horace. Their
hearts are so much set upon acquiring
wealth, that they often descend to base and
low live, nay, vicious means to obtain their
desired end. Altho' they are in eligible
circumstances themselves, and stand in need
of nothing; yet, to gratify a cursed avaric-
ious disposition, they will grind the faces of
the poor; cause the widow and the father-
less to weep; and increase the afflictions of
the unfortunate. For a trifling debt, which
perhaps was contracted from necessity, they
will explore the habitations of poverty and
indigence. They will pull away the bed
from under a sick mother, and drive off the
only remaining cow, on whose milk a family
of six helpless children depend for subsistence.
It is true the laws of society authorize such
conduct. But the laws of nature, the laws
of humanity, benevolence, and charity, speak
a very different language; and we must con-
clude a man is divorced of every tender and
humane feeling, who will act in such a man-
ner.
Some men consider themselves as made
entirely for the purpose of getting money;
and think the end of their creation cannot
be obtained without it. They toil, and la-
bor, fatigue themselves, and wear out their
lives for the pleasure of landing a few guin-
neas, and contemplating farms.
Money is the hobby horse of the present
day. It is considered as the summum bonum
of man's nature. It constitutes dignity;
confers excellence; and conceals deformity.
It makes a man noble, learned and wise:
His conversation is particularly attended to;
and even his looks and gestures will be criti-
cally observed and considered as exhibiting
superior excellence.
If a man of the most despicable character
and person, acquires a large fortune; he is
immediately courted, and becomes a leading
member in society. The ladies will admire
him, call him handsome, and will be quite
in love with the dear creature. On the o-
ther hand; only let an old maid, nine win-
ters past the corner, by the death of an aunt,
or some other relation, come into the pos-

FOREIGN ARTICLES.
LONDON, September 28. Extract of a letter from captain McDougal of the Two Friends, to Messrs. Hopkins and Gray.
On my voyage from Philadelphia with my ship Two Friends, of that port bound for London, on the 25th of August, lat. 46. 30. and long. 30. west of London, I was captured by the French privateer Go d Fortune, of Bordeaux, captain Noel, mounting 18 guns, and 150 men, who took out my mate and nine of my best men; put a prize-master and seventeen men on board, with directions to proceed for Passage, in Spain. Myself, with five men continued on board, and I formed a plan to retake my ship; and being in their possession 11 days, on the 4th inst. I got possession of a pistol; same day I gave the watch-word, and presented my pistol to the prize-master, who with uplifted hands called for mercy; three of my men then only on deck opposed to twelve Frenchmen, some ran up the rigging, the fellow at the helm ran below, one was badly wounded by my cock with an axe, and another with a cutlass; the action did not last more than five minutes. My two men who were below did not come on deck till we had finished, and were closing the hatches. I then made three divisions of the Frenchmen, to prevent any communication. My ship made much water, and I made a few of the Frenchmen assist daily at the pumps. Having a fine fair wind, I nor none of my people, never left the deck day or night, and came to anchor in the Downs on the 12th inst.
The French papers speculate upon the probability of the Empire making a separate peace, in case of hostilities being resumed, between Austria and France. And such a peace, they say, would be advantageous to the emperor in a military point of view; for it would contract his line of defence; his northern frontiers would be guaranteed by the neutrality of Germany, his forces would be concentrated, and he would be the better able to combine his military operations with Russia. But in isolating himself from the Germanic body, would he not lose his political consideration in the Empire? And would not France possess the same advantage as the Emperor of concentrating her force?
October 4. The Haniburg mail due on Sunday last arrived yesterday.
The Porte, it appears, is seriously disposed to revenge the unjust aggressions of the French, and some of the ministers have been displaced for not shewing themselves sufficiently active.
The article from Vienna is dated on the 15th ult. but as capt. Capel passed through that city on the 18th, and brought there the official intelligence of the defeat of the French fleet, no account could be given in this mail of its effects either upon the Court or the people of Vienna.
The Haniburg mail which became due yesterday has not arrived.
No intelligence had yet been received from the fleet under lord Bridport, nor had any account reached town of the expedition from Brit.
Bonaparte's dispatches were taken, as was stated in the letter from on board the Orion, inserted in our paper of yesterday, in a vessel coming down the Nile, and which was taken by our ships on the 7th August, and not, as was at first conceived, in one of the prizes captured by Admiral Nelson.
Admiral Nelson's letter to Earl St. Vincent is as creditable to the piety of the writer as the victory is glorious to him as a seaman. He begins his dispatches with attributing the glory of the victory to God. He does not, like the impious general of the French, use the name of the Most High, for the purpose of blaspheming him, or of denying his power. We trust, there is no Englishman in whom the recital of the action did not excite a feeling correspondent to that which was felt by the brave writer.
By letters from Vienna, dated the 19th of Sept. it appears that the intelligence of Sir Horatio Nelson's glorious victory had been received in that city, with the most lively and universal sensations of joy; the lower order of people, in particular, appeared to be transported with the success of the British Fleet; indeed, the disposition manifested by them, and by the soldiery on this and other occasions if properly roused and animated, would render them capable of the noblest exertions.
From Constantinople we have received advice, that the Grand Vizier, and the Mufti have been dismissed from their stations, for not shewing themselves sufficiently active and patriotic in the present circumstances.
(Another letter, same date.) War between the Porte and France appears now determined on, and the preparations making for it, become every day more active.
It was at first light proposed to send the French Plenipotentiary to the Seven Towers, but the Spanish and Batavian Ministers procured this to be changed to confinement in his own house, where a strong guard is set over him. In Egypt and on the Red Sea, measures are taken to seize all the provisions purchased for the French, and strangle those who have furnished them.
NEW-YORK, December 4.
The Turkish emperor has terminated the war with the rebel Pashwan Oglou, governor or Pasha of an Eastern province, but formally announced War against both the Algerines and French.
Almost the only manufacture which the French now carry on, is the manufacture of Governments, and the only foreign trade they have, is in the export of Constitutions. These wares, however, seem to have only a forced circulation. The article does not appear, indeed, to be of the best materials, nor of the first workmanship. It costs very dear, and
is of so flimsy a texture, as to require very frequent repairs!
All the letters from the right shore of the Rhine and the interior of Germany, speak of the immense warlike preparations carrying on there, and of the apprehension of a new coalition in the north, directed against the French republic. The conduct of Prussia is wary and politic; that power, however, is at this moment augmenting its army, on its part, is preparing for any event that may happen. The armies of the Rhine become daily more formidable—upwards of 60,000 men are already collected between the Lahn, the Sieg, the Wupper and the Nidda—200 pieces of ordnance are assembled on the plain of Neuwied.

BOSTON, November 28.
OF PREDICTIONS.
In the letters of the "Twelfth Star," written between the years 1659 and 1682, and published in London in 1763, is the following singular prophecy:—It is recorded of this lady [Margaret of Valois] that she practiced with wizards and magicians, who in an enchanted glass shewed her who should reign in France for the time to come.—First, appeared Henry IV—then Louis XIII—next Louis XIV, &c. and after him a pack of Jesuits, who should abolish the monarchy, and govern themselves.
The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5.
AS the Committee appointed at a meeting of Citizens, on the 16th ult. in their report to another meeting, convened on the 23d, allude to preliminary measures, occupying the attention of the City Corporation, for obtaining the great object of introducing into the city a supply of pure and wholesome water, for drinking and culinary purposes, and the occasional flooding of the streets with lively currents of water; and as, on that basis is the reference to the City Corporation, in the memorial agreed to be presented to the Legislature, at the approaching session, it is thought proper to state that the commencement of preliminary measures, by the City Corporation, for introducing water, so alluded to, arose from well authenticated information, that certain resolutions, pointing to that important end, had passed the Common Council unanimously, and from an impression, that they could not fail obtaining the full concurrence of the Select Council.
The following are the Resolutions passed by the Common Council, with blanks only, for the names of places therein mentioned.
IN COMMON COUNCIL, November 12, 1798. Resolved, That the Resolutions containing preliminary measures for watering the city, which were adopted in this Council on the 9th day of August last, and sent to the Select Council for concurrence, but not acted on by that branch previous to the 2d Tuesday in October last, and by that means become inchoate, be referred to a joint committee of the Select and Common Councils.
Resolved, That the said Committee be instructed to ascertain the quantity of water issuing in any given time from the springs and also from any other sources of good water which may be found between the said and this city, so situate as to answer the purpose of auxiliary in the event of waters proving in any degree insufficient for a supply to the city; and that the said Committee be further instructed to ascertain the practicability, and if practicable, the most eligible route or course by which the said waters can with the greatest facility and least expense, be conducted and introduced into this city. And, in order that the said Committee may be the better enabled to ascertain the important information contemplated in these resolutions, be it further
Resolved, That they be and they are hereby authorized and empowered to contract with, engage, and employ for such reasonable compensation as they can agree for, any skillful and competent person or persons that they may find it necessary to employ for carrying into full and complete effect the objects of their appointment.
Resolved, That a joint Committee be appointed to draft a memorial to be early presented to the Legislature, at their first meeting, requesting their aid for introducing water into the city for the use and health of its inhabitants.
Resolved, That a joint committee be appointed to examine what means and resources are possessed and attainable by the city for obtaining and introducing a supply of good water, independent of legislative aid, and to draft and prepare a plan for acquiring the necessary means to supply any deficiency of the city's corporate income, and make report thereon to the Councils.
Ordered, That the foregoing resolutions be sent to the Select Council, and their concurrence be requested.
IN COMMON COUNCIL, August 9, 1791. Resolved, That a joint committee of the Select and Common Council be appointed for the following purposes, and that they be invested with full authority and power to carry the same into effect.
To employ a skillful and judicious person to ascertain with accuracy the quantity and force of water.
To employ one or more skillful and judicious persons to survey and take the levels of the country between the city and any other streams or heads of water that may seem eligible for the purpose of watering the city, and the highest ground between the rivers Delaware and Schuylkill, within the limits of the city, or in the Northern Liberties.
contiguous to the city, and to ascertain the best route or course for conducting thereto the waters of said streams or other streams, having regard to the following points, viz. distance, respective elevations or descents, quality of soil for digging, and what lands of private persons may be interested in pursuing the most favorable route; to report the courses and distances of the most eligible route, as well as the levels, together with a true and fair copy of their field notes. And if the report of the persons employed on the above objects are favorable to the further prosecution of introducing the above waters, then the said committee are to unite with the mayor, in inviting, by public advertisement and otherwise, the offers of proposals to contract for the digging of the ground, the materials and construction of pipes and aqueducts, exhibiting a clear description of the modes which may be proposed. The security which can be given for a due and faithful performance of contract and stipulations, with the sums required for such performance, and the payment which will be called for in the different stages of the work.
We translate the following interesting article from the Spectateur du Nord of the 28th November. It is a Postscript to a letter from the Editor to one of his Subscribers.
"Behold, Monsieur, the news of the halt of the Russian troops contradicted. Nay, further, we are assured that the first division of that army arrived at Tschern 20th of this month. An event still more important is the passage of a Russian fleet of twelve sail of the line and of six frigates through the Dardanelles, on the first of September. This event must prove all-important, if the fleet carries the troops destined to succour the king of Naples, against whom it is said the Directory is already about to commence hostilities."
The falling of the Brest fleet has been also announced—but rather vaguely. This fleet would be able to excite new inquietudes for Ireland, if it had not met a Nelson in its way."
It is worthy note, that poor Logan, the more frequently he appears before the public, the more incoherent and nonsensical does his conduct strike us. And herein he resembles a certain inanimate body, of which Cervantes says, "the more you stir it," &c.
We have long heard much of French magnanimity. Perhaps this quality can in no other situation be so eminently displayed, as in adversity. God be praised, she has now ample scope.
The election in Lyon's district came on yesterday. Recent events have had a very proper effect on the lately deluded clan of this filthy reproach to humanity.
The magnanimous conduct of Mr. Sedgwick, in descending from a higher branch of the Government to the House of Representatives, in order to exclude a foul reproach to the country and to human nature—the grateful recollection of every honest American. It is to be regretted that such instances are so rare.
LOGAN, the Foolish.
This since of Mammon, published, a few days since, a certificate of his citoyen , signed by a number of Americans in France. On this list are to be found the names of villains who have been publicly advertised as pirates,—depredators on the goods and vessels of their own fellow-citizens. Improbus laudari, vituperari est. This poor, addled cats-paw of our infamous Vice , thus affords a new illustration of an old saying, "Give him rope enough, and he will hang himself."
The rejection of Dearborn , author of the scandalous propositions on the subject of the British treaty, by a large majority of the district he attempted to represent, leaves Mr. Varnum in a situation, where he has room for the most ample display of magnanimity, and patriotism, or the most unprincipled, base, and atrocious obstinacy. He will prove himself a reflecting, rational being, or a stupid, malicious and insensible automaton.
Citizen Varnum, the foil-doing Republican General, from the State of Massachusetts stands in perhaps one of the most conspicuous attitudes that ever an individual was placed in—a situation grateful to the feelings of a truly candid man, and a fit exaltation to infamy to the obstinate, unprincipled cabal. Citizen Varnum has his choice; and it rests with him to blot out his name from the most damning records that ever met the indignation of mankind, or to immortalize it along with them. Never was man more truly juber sua fortuna .
The Dagger-Men, it seems, had prepared something, which was called, "the address of the United Irishmen." This was put into the hands of Jasper , in order to be pruned of its barbarities. He promised at the beginning of last week, to give it place in the course of that week. But the keen indignation of the public, excited by the daring designs of these villains, has deprived them of their wonted assurance. The piece has not appeared.
OUTLINE
Of the origin, character and views of the societies of UNITED IRISHMEN, in Philadelphia, and elsewhere in the United States.
It cannot be unknown to most of the readers of this Gazette, that Ireland, though more seriously agitated within a short time past, has been kept in turmoil for the last twenty years, by a set of wild, ferocious, and unnatural savages, who, like the democrats of America, could only be happy amidst general confusion and ruin.
The vigour of government, continually crushing the conspiracies of these vipers, drove them from home to infest other coun-
tries, or, more happily for other countries, compelled them to expiate their treason on the gallows. Since this country was differentiated from Great-Britain, the vagabonds and renegades of Ireland, outlaws, assassins, traitors, and fugitives from justice of every description have flocked hither in such alarming quantities, that we at length behold them bosoming of thirty or forty thousand effective men, enrolled in the lists of United Irishmen.
But since the blessed revolutionary age first dawned upon us, these gangs of invaders have horribly proffered both in number and atrocity of character.
Without bestowing our attention (now too late) on that funeral policy, which belied these destructive intentions to long, with authority, it is time for us seriously to set about the means of evading the destruction which these mighty forces are preparing for us. A fact, which I will just mention en passant , will show that the consequence I have uniformly attributed to this evil, is neither unfounded nor extravagant. There came to Philadelphia within a few days, an Irishman, lately arrived in America, who had been five times under the gallows, but had contrived to ward off the stroke of justice by making and promising to make further confessions and disclosures; the importance of some of these released his neck from the noose, on condition of his taking himself out of the dominion of Britain. He is now here, a faming patriot, full of liberty and equality, and the inexpressible rights of man.
I am alarmed to enregister the cruel fact, that this Bloodhound was entertained at the table of a Federalist. But it is nothing new—unless some abhorrence can be excited against these wretches (for there is none now) we shall see this man, in a few years, in the Assembly, or in Congress, a Governor's Secretary, or a Chief Justice. Such are the rewards of patriotism in America.
But this is a solitary instance—the last three years have abounded in such; and by such men have been instituted the societies of United Irishmen in Philadelphia. Such is their origin—such their character.
Of their views, something remains to be said; which much occupation compels me to reserve for a future paper.
CONGRESS.
This day a quorum of the House of Representatives of the United States being assembled, the constitutional oath was administered by the Speaker to four new members, who appeared and took their seats. The usual order for supplying the members, during the session, with three newspapers printed in this city, was agreed to, and the House understanding that the Senate had not yet formed a quorum, adjourned till to-morrow morning 11 o'clock.
The following Members of the Senate appeared this day, in addition to those already mentioned, viz.
Mr. Bloodworth, Mr. Chipman, Mr. Goodhue, and Mr. Lawrence, Making the whole number fifteen. Two more are requisite to constitute a quorum.

By order of the meeting at City Hall, 27th November, 1798. LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH, Chairman. Philadelphia, 5th December, 1798.
What sensations must the Christian language of Admiral Nelson, produce in the minds of every friend of religion and morality! Unlike the Infidelian bombast of the French, he solemnly says, "Almighty God has blessed his Majesty's arms in the late battle" Yes, virtuous, Christian Nelson, the rich laurels that ever crowned an Admiral, are in store for you. You have really deserved well of your country; you deserve well of the world.

PROPOSALS, BY THE Insurance Company of North America.  FOR INSURANCE against FIRE, on Dwelling-Houses, Warehouse-Houses, and other Buildings (and on Goods contained in such Buildings) distant from Philadelphia, in the United States.
1. Common Insurance, on hazards of the first class, will be undertaken at a premium of about half per cent. per annum. For extra hazardous risks a larger premium will be required, which will vary according to circumstances, seldom exceeding one per cent. per annum; but in some instances, where the property insured is not only in itself extra hazardous, but rendered still more so by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and occupations, the premium demanded will be raised according to circumstances.  Houses and Warehouse-Houses, the walls and partitions of which are wholly of stone or brick, well constructed, so as to be guarded as well as may be against fires from within, and free from extra hazardous buildings and occupations in their neighborhood, will be deemed hazardous of the first class, and may be insured to their full value.  All Goods and Merchandise, not of an extra hazardous kind, in casks, bales, or packages, deposited in such buildings, to an amount not exceeding 4000 dollars; but if more than this sum is required to be insured in one tenement, an additional premium will be required, in proportion to circumstances.
2. Insurance will also be made on buildings and goods extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned to the risk. But it is not easy to arrange these under particular heads or classes, so as to do each with the necessary accuracy. Each case must therefore be decided upon according to the circumstances attending it; and these circumstances will, in general, appear from the description accompanying the application.  Buildings partly constructed of brick or stone, are preferable to those wholly wooden. And in both cases, the site of building, how they are occupied, how they are situated, the neighboring buildings, and how they are situated, are considerations to be taken into view. And with respect to goods, their tendency, whether from their nature, or from the manner in which they are exposed, either to commence or to increase an accidental fire, and their liability in such state to receive damage by wet, or by sudden and hasty removal, or to be broken in time of confusion and hurry, are all circumstances of weight; and the premiums must be proportioned accordingly.
3. The following conditions are to be understood by the parties.  1st. The Insurance is not binding till the stipulated premium be paid; but it shall be deemed effected from the time of such payment and acceptance thereof, whether the policy be immediately signed or not.  2d. Insurance may be renewed at the expiration of the term of the policy, without further expense than the payment of the premium of the renewed term, the circumstances continuing the same as they were understood by the Insurers at the time the former insurance was made; but the payment of the premium is essential to such renewal; and if the party insured suffers any time to elapse after the expiration of the former insurance, before he pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured during such time; nor can the insurance be renewed on the former policy but by computing the commencement of the renewal from the expiration of the former insurance. The subject of insurance may nevertheless be open to treat for a new insurance.
3d. If any other insurance be made on the same property; it must be made known at the time of application, otherwise the policy made on such application will be void.  4th. Goods held in trust, or on consignment, may be insured as if they were the property of the party.  5th. This company will not be liable on account for any loss or damage occasioned by any foreign invasion, or by any military or usurped force, or by reason of any civil commotion; or occasioned by gunpowder, aquafortis or other thing of a like kind kept in the building, or amongst the property insured.
6th. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Securities, Title Deeds, Money, Bank and other promissory Notes, are not included in any insurance; nor are paintings, medals, jewels, gems, antique curiosities, or mirrors exceeding the value of twenty-five dollars each, to be considered as insured unless particularly mentioned and by special agreement.  7th. No insurance will be made for a shorter term than one year, nor for a longer term than seven years. Prisons choosing to insure for seven years shall be allowed one year's premium by way of discount: One third of a year's premium shall be abated in like manner on an insurance for three years.
8th. Losses sustained by fire on property insured, shall be paid in thirty days after due proof and liquidation thereof, without deduction.  A description of the property to be insured will be expected with each application, to be made by a competent carpenter and signed by him, as well as by the owner of the building or applicant for insurance, and attested before a Notary or principal Magistrate, who will certify his knowledge of the parties and their credibility.
With respect to Houses and other Buildings.  1st. The site and position; describing the street or road on or near which the building stands; its contiguity to water, and other circumstances relative to the extinguishment of fire in case of accident; and particularly whether any and what fire companies are established, and engines provided, in the place or neighbourhood.
2d. The materials of which it is built, whether of brick, stone or wood, and what part of each, as well as to the outside walls as inside or partition walls, and their respective height and thickness; the style of the roof and of what materials; how secured by battlements or party walls; what kind of access to the top of the house and to the chimneys; whether any and what electric rods; the number and kind of fire places; and the kind of deposit for ashes.
3d. The dimensions of the building and how divided, and the style in which it is finished so as to enable indifferent persons to judge in what manner it is to be repaired or rebuilt in case of injury; the age and condition of the building, and how occupied, whether merely as a dwelling house, or for any other, and for what purpose; also an estimate of the value of the house or building independent of the ground.
4th. The situation with respect to other buildings or back buildings, whether adjoining or not, comprehending at least one hundred feet each way: what kind of buildings are within that distance, how built, of what materials, and how occupied or improved, whether as dwellings for private families or otherwise: whether any and what trade or manufacture is carried on, and particularly whether there be any extra hazardous articles used, or usually deposited in the house, or within the distance aforesaid, and of what kind.
Respecting goods in Houses, Warehouses, &c.  1. A general description of the building in which they are kept will be expected, similar in all respects, as to the danger from fire, with that required for Insurance on the buildings themselves.  2. A description of the kinds and nature of the goods, whether in casks or other packages, or opened; and whether displayed in whole
pieces or in the usual form for retailing. And if the goods vary materially in kind, a general estimate of the value of each kind proposed to be insured; and in the last particular minuteness of description is not expected.  3. Articles of the following kinds are deemed extra-hazardous, though in various degrees, in whatever building they may be placed, viz. pitch, tar, turpentine, resin, wax, tallow, oil, inflammable spirits, sulphur, hemp, flax, cotton, dry goods of an inflammable kind, open-topped glass, china ware or porcelain, especially unpacked; looking glasses, jewelry; and all other articles more than commonly inflammable, or more than commonly liable to injury by sudden removal or by moisture, or particularly obnoxious to theft on an alarm of fire.
Letters post paid, directed to the Secretary of the Board of Directors, will be duly attended to. An order for Insurance accompanied by the means of paying the premium, will be immediately executed on the premium being paid. If the application contain an enquiry only, it will be answered.  By order of the Board, Ebenezer Hazard, sec'y. Office of the Insurance Company of North America; Philad. Feb. 1, 1798.

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 opportunity to draw several Bills of Exchange on Timothy Pickering, Esq. Secretary of State, and myself, and by that means has defrauded a number of persons of their money, deceiving them by an exhibition of letters and papers with the name affixed of divers public characters and reputable merchants highly complimentary of said Shaeffer; to one of these papers I find my name subscribed, but I do not know the man; there are villainous forgeries! To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.
