SONNET.
NATURE, sweet mistress of the pensive mind! As on the sandy shore I musing stand, And see around the wonders of thy hand, I feel each passion soothed—each sense refin'd. The icy plains above the whispering tide, The dreary woods that bound th' extensive view, The light blue clouds that Sol's pale lustre hide, Vary thy charms, and every charm renew. Thee, when young Spring sports on the spangled green; When Summer blushes in her rosy bowers; When welcome Autumn yellow plenty showers; Or Winter forms amid the altered scene; Still let me love—still woo thee to my arms, For Peace and Virtue bless the Heart that Nature charms. March 3, 1792. HENRY.

MR. FENNO, THERE lately appeared in one of the newspapers of this city, a translation from a French paper, which quotes the speech of a Mr. Isnard, one of the National Assembly. That gentleman calls priests monsters, cowards, traitors, murderers, and many other names of hatred and reproach. It may be that such names are applicable to the priests in France—though it is to be presumed that such a general charge on a whole order of men is as false as it is illiberal. It may be too, that such charges against the priests are favorably received by the public of France.—Without presuming to decide on either of these opinions, we know that these rude imputations on the virtue and public spirit of the clergy are shocking to an American ear: they tend to inspire youth with irreverence towards an order of men, whose lives and labors are devoted to the impressing an early love of virtue. The mischief of such sentiments is not to be questioned. Their cruelty is abominable. Our clergy are excluded either by law or the general opinion from political concerns.
Men who do not engage in active life, because it is thought inconsistent with the duties of their calling to do so, may be said to live under the protection of the general opinion, which in some measure indemnifies the clergy, by the respect that is deservedly paid them for their exclusion from gainful and honorary pursuits. The base and ungenerous only will offer to disturb this state of things. Accordingly it has been for a century past a standing theme of profligate wit to inveigh against the clergy.
No one will doubt that the world is the better for the constant and zealous efforts of an order of men who are generally possessed of good sense and learning, and whose morals are exemplary. Their influence over the mind is that of virtue. They are so many missionaries scattered over the country, and engaged in diffusing the love of virtue and learning, and discountenancing vice and
ignorance. Their zeal for the cause of the country, during the revolution, was eminent.—Instead therefore of calling our clergy by the reproachful names which M. Isnard has bestowed on the French priests, they justly merit the title of the patrons of learning, examples of virtue, and friends of good order and their country.

FROM THE AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER.
MR. DUNLAP, WHISKY* is a champion against liberty and for government. I am point blank the other way—I am for liberty, but for liberty where it ought to be—in the government itself. I say, sir, I am for a free government—one that is free to do what it pleases. I want no other article. I am for a simple government, as well as a free one. For whom, pray, was liberty intended, if not for the government and those in it? Was it for Tom, Dick, and Harry, fellows that would lay out their money in grog, rather than give it to their betters of taste to spend in Claret and Constantia? Was it for the people in a body? Such an absurd idea was exploded many years ago, and would, happily for the quiet of the world, never have returned, but for the upstart people of America, and the mad democrats of France. Thanks, however, to certain patriotic writers among us! things begin to be better understood: Our rulers are apt scholars—they make rapid progress in the knowledge of their rights; and let me alone for defending them. I will quickly teach the gentry who rail against speculation—against the bank—against corruption, &c. what it is to live in a free country;—that is, a country where the government is free. Freedom would be a poor thing, if those who enjoy it were to get nothing by it. Upon this principle, if the members of the government speculate, they are right. They have the best opportunity. If they take shares in the Bank, and double their money, I ask—who so fit to gather the fruit as those who planted the tree?—They are not to blame: they rather deserve praise for allowing so large a share of the benefit to their friends. As to corruption, that remains to be proved;—and if proved, what then? The best government in the world is said to be carried on chiefly in this way. In short, a free government ought to be free in all respects, and particularly, from being censured. This, I will maintain, against Whisky or any body else.—And, I hereby give notice, that I am ready to blow out the brains of him, or any of his coadjutors, who shall hereafter dare to speak of any other liberty, than the liberty of the government to do what it pleases.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the country to his friend in Philadelphia.
I REGRET, with you, that the newspapers should in any instance be the vehicles of irreligion and profaneness. I have observed, upon several occasions, that some pieces of very absurd nonsense and infidelity have been retailed, through that channel, to the great injury of those superficial readers, who derive the greatest part of their knowledge, both in politics and religion, from this source. It is to be lamented very much, that any editor of a periodical paper, should appear intent upon disseminating principles of infidelity through the United States, and for this purpose, should stuff his papers with such things from time to time; and it is rather surprizing that those impositions should be copied into other papers, as if they merited a second publication.
A passage in a certain Gazette, of Dec. 8, ult. which I noticed amongst other trash of a similar kind, in the papers which you sent me, is a gross imposition as to its original, and a gross insult, not only upon the Established Church in Scotland, but also upon most of the Protestant Churches, which generally agree in the particular doctrines reprobated so much in that paper. It is pretended, I observe, that the piece alluded to is a translation from French Letters, dedicated to the National Assembly; whereas the fact is, that it is taken from a publication at Edinburgh, and has been there solidly refuted, and at greater length than I think it deserves; the misrepresentations being very gross, and the assertions, as to facts, perfectly false, and indeed, in some things, directly the reverse of what is there suggested. It would not be difficult to expose such scurrility and impudence in its proper deformity: yet I think the newspaper is not the most proper place for such exhibitions.
Indeed I cannot but wonder at the indiscretion and absurdity of publishing reflections against religion, or particular systems of it, in a newspaper. Such morceaus of impiety ought to be published by themselves, and sold as choice communications from Pandemonium; and then their merit will be determined by the public, and they who approve them, will have the pleasure of perusing them, and the benefit of preserving them. But to publish such things in a Gazette, where we are looking for political information, is cramming impiety down our throats, whether we will or not. I hope the generosity of your editors of newspapers will conduct their papers with superior propriety and decorum, and let any Gazette, remarkable for the contrary, have the single and undivided honor of being the repository of profaneness and irreligion."

CONGRESS.
PHILADELPHIA.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7.
In committee of the whole, on the Fishery Bill.
(Conclusion of Mr. PAGE's Speech.)
THE framers of the constitution guarded so much against a possibility of such partial preferences as might be given if Congress had the right to grant them, that even to encourage learning and useful arts, the granting of patents is the extent of their power: and surely nothing could be less dangerous to the sovereignty or interest of the individual states than the encouragement which might be given to ingenious inventors or promoters of valuable inventions in the arts and sciences—the encouragement which the general government might give to the fine arts, to commerce, to manufactures and agriculture, might, if judiciously applied, redound to the honor of Congress, and the splendor, magnificence and real advantage of the United States: but the wise framers of our constitution saw that if Congress had the power of exerting what has been called a royal munificence for these purposes, Congress might, like many royal benefactors, misplace their munificence, might elevate tycoons, and be inattentive to men unfriendly to the views of government; might reward the ingenuity of the citizens of one state, and neglect a much greater genius of another—a citizen of a powerful state it might be said, was attended to, whilst that of one of less weight in the federal scale was totally neglected. It is not sufficient to remove these objections, to say as some gentlemen have said, that Congress is incapable of partiality or absurdities, and that they are as far from committing them as my colleagues or myself—I tell them the constitution was formed on a supposition of human frailty, and to restrain abuses of mistaken powers: the constitution has been said by some one to be like answers of the oracles of old, capable of various and opposite constructions, that it has been ingeniously contrived like some of them to suit two events, a republican or a monarchical issue; I will not pretend to say that this is not in some instances too just an observation, nor will I undertake to deny that it was not the intention of some of the convention that such ambiguities might be in their constitution, to correspond with the critical and ambiguous state of the American mind, respecting government; but I will boldly affirm, that whatever the theories of that day might lead some to think, respecting the application of monarchical principles to the government of the United States, no one can at this day pretend that they are applicable to their circumstances, their dispositions or interests, or even are agreeable to the wishes of the people. Even before the adoption of the constitution when the rights of men had not been so thoroughly investigated as they since have been, it must be remembered, that whole states, and large and respectable minorities in other states, complained of and objected to the aristocratical and monarchical features of the new government. In vain did the friends of the new government, friends of order, of union, or of liberty, contend that the powers granted by the constitution, which appeared so alarming, were such as would never be exerted but when all good men would acknowledge the necessity of exercising them, and that indeed they would be explained or restrained by some future amendments—the sagacious and eloquent Henry shook his head at such promises, sighed and submitted to the will of the majority, a small one indeed, but foretold from his knowledge of the human heart, what would be done and said in justification of every measure which might extend the power of Congress.
Is it politic and wise then, Mr. Chairman, to exert the power contended for, even if it be authorised by the constitution? May not the interference of Congress in the business of regulating the trade of the eastern states excite, if not envy on account of a supposed partiality, a jealousy lest Congress undertake to intermeddle in the commercial regulations of other states? May not Congress with equal propriety undertake to regulate the tobacco, the rice and indigo trade, as well as that of the fisheries? If they intermeddle in the business of sailors, why not in that of manufacturers and farmers? Where I may ask with my colleague, may they not go on in their zeal, and I will add, in their laudable pursuit of promoting the general welfare; and how totally may they be mistaken? If jealousy of rival states instead of mutual satisfaction and pleasure—if
distrust and suspicion of Congress, instead of confidence in their measures, be the consequence, how will the union be promoted, or the general government secured? However virtuously disposed the present members may be, and I am ready to applaud their honest intentions, let them consider, Sir, that they had better suppress their patriotic emotions, than give a pretext for their successors to abuse the powers which they now wish to exert for the public good: I know they will quote the opinion of as wise and virtuous a citizen as is in the United States: I know his patriotism, and know well his true republican principles; but Sir, with the freedom of a fellow citizen, I take the liberty of saying that his honest zeal, like that of the friends of the bill, has led him into a mistake.* That able statesman and virtuous citizen, like the eloquent advocates of the bill, has considered the acts now quoted, as a full sanction for the one before the committee: but I am of opinion that those acts had better be repealed, than give a sanction to the enacting of a law which goes to the establishing of bounties, or drawbacks, or by whatever other name they be called, which may be used to the partial encouragement of any branch of trade or employment whatsoever. I shall therefore vote against the bill before us, and to get rid of it, shall vote for striking out of it the 1st section according to the motion now before the committee. As a member of this House I shall think it my duty to protect the fisheries, and every other branch of our commerce, the fishermen as well as every other citizen, as far as may be within my ability; but I am not permitted, as a member of Congress, I humbly conceive, to select the fisheries and fishermen as objects of more consequence than any other branches of trade, or persons employed in them, lest Congress should not only shew a mistaken attachment, or even if judiciously placed, excite jealousies and discords between the states, and distrust destructive of their weight and influence. My constant wish has been to see Congress confined to such acts as would form a more perfect union, promote the general welfare, insure domestic tranquility, and engage the confidence of our fellow citizens.
My wish is, that the members of Congress would leave their respective states in the full enjoyment of every right and privilege they held before their adoption of the new constitution, which can be exercised without prejudice to the general government. Let the legislatures of the different states encourage as far as in their power, the commerce, agriculture or manufactures of their respective states; and let Congress, as far as can be consistent with the most steady impartiality, patronize their patriotic exertions by wise regulations of their commerce with foreign nations, such as may open as full an intercourse with those nations as the states may desire. The emulation of the sister states in commerce, manufactures or agriculture, would lead to the early establishment of that branch of either to which each state might be best adapted: this rivalry could produce no jealousy, no general national discontent in the states, no localities in Congress. Virginia would not attempt to rival Massachusetts in her fisheries or carrying business, nor will South Carolina and Georgia rival the manufactories of Jersey and Pennsylvania: each state may rejoice to see its sister states enjoying the advantages with which Heaven has blessed them: and Congress, if confined to subjects which admit not of local considerations, may debate with temper and decide with unbiaised judgment. I confess I have wished that Congress possessed the power that the friends of the bill tell us we do possess, and tell us we have exerted: but on examining the constitution with a view to my wish, I found reason to think, not only that Congress has not that power, but that it ought not to possess it, unless the constitution was intended to establish a consolidated government on the ruin of the state legislatures: but this I conceive cannot be the case, because the constitution guarantees to the states their respective republican governments. The general powers of Congress no doubt ought to be (as they are) adequate to the purpose of forming a more perfect union than subsisted under the confederation, to establish justice, &c. &c. but as they are bound to guarantee to the states, their respective republican forms of government, I cannot conceive how any of these powers can be employed (consistently with the ends for which they were given) in diminishing the power and sovereignty of the state legislatures. How Congress can interfere in the regulations respecting the merchants and their sailors at Marblehead, with more propriety than with those at Philadelphia, Norfolk or Charleston, I cannot conceive: nor how this interference could take place without alarming these states, I know not. Viewing the bill before us in this light, Mr. Chairman, I shall vote against it, and, as I said before, to get rid of it, shall vote to strike out the first section according to the motion now before the committee.

SATURDAY, MARCH 10.
An engrossed "bill declaring the consent of Congress to a certain act of the state of Maryland, and to continue for a longer time, an act of the state of Maryland, Georgia, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, so far as the same respects the states of Georgia, and Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," was read a third time, passed, and sent to the Senate for their concurrence.
The House proceeded to the consideration of the message received from the President of the United States on Monday last, with the translation of the letter from the King of France, announcing to the United States his acceptance of the New Constitution; whereupon the following resolution was moved, viz.
"Resolved, That this House hath received, with sentiments of high satisfaction, the notification of the King of the French, of his acceptance of the Constitution presented to him in the name of the nation:—and that the President of the United States be requested, in his answer to the said notification, to express the sincere participation of the House, in the interests of the French nation, on this great and important event; and their wish, that the wisdom and magnanimity displayed in the formation and acceptance of the Constitution, may be rewarded by the most perfect attainment of its object, the permanent happiness of so great a people."
A motion made for the committal of this resolution, passed in the negative—yeas 17, nays 35.
A debate of considerable length then took place on the adoption of the resolution; after which, a division of the question being called for, the House agreed to the first part, as far as the words "important event" inclusive—yeas 50, nays 2.
The question was then taken on the remaining part of the resolution, and also passed in the affirmative, as follows:
A Y E S.
Messrs. Ashe, Baldwin, B. Bourne, Clark, Findley, Fitzsimons, Giles, Gilman, Gregg, Hartley, Heister, Key, Kitchell, Kittera, Lee, Macon, Madison, Mercer, Murray, Niles, Page, Schoonmaker, Seney, Steele, Sterret, Sturges, Sumpter, Thatcher, Treadwell, Tucker, Venable, Vining, Wayne, White, Williamson—35.
N O E S.
Messrs. Ames, Barnwell, Benion, Goodhue, Gordon, Hillhouse, Jacobs, Lawrance, Learned, Livermore, Sedgwick, J. Smith, I. Smith, W. Smith, Wadsworth, Ward—16.
A committee of five members was appointed, to wait on the President of the United States with the said resolution.
The following resolution was proposed and agreed to, viz.
"That in the case of the contested election on the petition of James Jackson, complaining of an undue election and return of Anthony Wayne, one of the members returned to serve in this House for the state of Georgia, the sitting member have leave to be heard by counsel, at the bar of this House, on Monday next." Adjourned.
MONDAY, MARCH 12.
The trial of the contested election for the lower district of Georgia, having been postponed to this day,
Mr. Jackson, the petitioner, and Mr. Lewis, as counsel for the sitting member, appeared in the House, and had seats assigned them within the bar.
Mr. Lewis moved that the trial should be further postponed, and assigned as a reason, that the evidence had not been received for which the late postponement was granted.
Mr. Jackson opposed a further postponement, alledging that sufficient time had elapsed.
After considerable debate, Mr. Lewis's motion was put and negatived—19 members only rising in the affirmative.
The House then attended to the allegations.—Mr. Jackson stated the evidence respecting the transactions at the election in Effingham County; having proceeded through that part of the business, the house adjourned.
TUESDAY, MARCH 13.
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Secretary Otis, with the Representation bill—passed the Senate with the amendments.
The House proceeded in the trial of the contested election for the lower district of Georgia.
Mr. Jackson continued the detail of his evidence—and exhibited a statement of the transactions at the election in Camden County, &c. considerable debate took place among the members, respecting the admissibility of several articles of evidence offered by the petitioner—some of which were admitted, others not admitted: Mr. Jackson concluded his allegations and comments, with offering as evidence the impeachment of Judge Osborne, &c. by the Senate of Georgia; this was objected to by Mr. Wayne's counsel, and a debate ensuing among the members, an adjournment took place without a decision.
In the Ayes and Noes on passing the Militia Bill, Mr. Gordon's name should have appeared among the Noes—and Mr. Sturges' name was omitted in the list of Ayes.—Mr. Brown was not in the House when the question was taken—his name ought not therefore to have appeared.—See the last Gazette.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
THE Legislatures of some of the States claim a right to instruct their Senators in Congress. But have they well considered whether this claim is warranted by the Constitution, or compatible with the duty which their Senators owe to the Union?
The Constitution authorizes the State Legislatures to choose Senators for Congress-& this they ought seasonably to do-but it gives them no authority to instruct them after they are chosen; and the nature of their trust seems to forbid it: for it is their duty, on mature deliberation and consultation, when assembled, to act what they shall judge most for the good of the United States in general; and their deliberations ought to be free and unbiassed.

MR. FENNO,
THE letter-writer in your last, appears to think that the postage on newspapers will check the circulation of those important vehicles of information. That the postage proposed is too high, remains to be proved-if it should have the effect apprehended by this writer, it certainly is; but even with this charge, I conceive that the probability is, that the circulation will be increased-and surely thereby the business is put on a better footing than it ever has been heretofore.

LONDON.
THE cause of truth and justice would be greatly promoted were a bill to be passed to prevent the rudeness and insolence with which many barristers treat not only the witnesses but the person against whom they may be employed to plead.
On the trial of Borrett for counterfeiting the stamp of the Goldsmith's Company, a circumstance happened which is worthy notice. Before the jury were charged, his attorney conferred with him for some time at the bar, and on his return it appeared that the wife of Mr. Borrett had the preceding evening been delivered of twins.
Mr. Attorney General, who attended to conduct the prosecution, upon being informed of this fact, immediately addressed himself to the court, and with generous humanity as great, as noble, as exalted as ever glowed within the breast of man, consented not only that the trial should be deferred till the next session, but that if the prisoner could find such bail as the court should be pleased to direct, he was willing that he should be discharged, in order that he might go home and afford comfort to his wife.
Four gentlemen of fortune who were in court, to whom the prisoner was known, immediately offered to become his bail, and on their entering into a recognizance for his appearance, he was discharged.
Words would be vainly used in attempting to describe the exquisite sensibility with which this unparalleled liberality of Mr. Attorney General seemed to touch every heart.
A new institution among the Jews, on the plan of our Sunday schools, promises much utility to the lower classes of that people; as teaching on their own Sabbath is forbid, a certain number of the male sex are to be instructed gratis in English reading, writing and arithmetic, on a Sunday, and a certain number to be apprenticed to trades.
The pillory seems to be the punishment for fraudulent bankrupts in Scotland; were that the case here it would be necessary to build a scaffold along the streets, that gentlemen of that description might not have far to go.
The rights of women are every day more and more invaded. A man who was acquitted at the Old Bailey on Monday, was led out of the court in violent hysterics!
HALIFAX, January 19.
On Sunday last sailed, with a favorable wind, the Sierra Leona fleet, consisting of fifteen sail, under the charge of Lieut. John Clarkson, of the Royal Navy, having on board 1,200 free blacks, that have chosen to emigrate from this country to Africa, in the hope of its being more congenial to their habits and constitutions, under the protection of the Company, lately incorporated by Charter in Great-Britain, for the establishment of a free Colony there.
NEW-YORK, March 9.
The stockholders of the Bank of Albany, have elected the following gentlemen as Directors, viz. Philip Schuyler, Abraham Ten Broeck, Stephen Van Rensselaer, Goldsborough Banyer, Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, Cornelius Glen, Daniel Hale, John Maley, James Caldwell, John Stevenson, Stephen Lush, Albert Pawling, and John Sanders.
On the 28th ult. the House of Representatives of Massachusetts proceeded to the consideration of the report of the joint committee on the subject of building a bridge over Charles-River, from West-Bofton to Cambridge-and, after a free and full discussion, the question on the expediency of the measure was determined in the affirmative. A bill was accordingly brought in.
PROVIDENCE, March 1.
The Hon. General Assembly of this state are now in session.-It is probable, that at this session, the following question will be agitated: "Whether the Legislature will recommend to the people of this State, the appointment of members to form a Convention for the purpose of forming a Constitution for this state?"
BALTIMORE, March 8.
The following Gentlemen were yesterday elected Directors for the Bank of Maryland. William Patterson, Robert Gilmor, James Carey, Charles Garts, Archibald Moncrieff, Alexander McKinn, Samuel Smith, Richard Cayton, Jeremiah Yellott, John Hollins, Robert Oliver, John O'Donnell.
Philadelphia, March 14.
By London papers as late as the 10th of January, we learn, That all the German princes are declared enemies to France, who should after the 15th of January countenance the assembling and arming of the French emigrants. An oath was preparing at Coblenz, to be taken by all the French emigrants, the substance of which was, fidelity to the princes, and "an entire devotion to their orders, for the glory and interest of France."-Great preparations for war were making throughout France.
The magistracy of Worms had written respectfully to the King of France, that they had ever considered the reception of the emigrants among them only as an act of common hospitality-but, left his Majesty should take it in ill part, they had given orders to the Prince of Conde to quit Worms with all his retinue of disaffected adherents. The Prince Bishop of Liege is amongst the most strenuous supporters of the Ex-Princes, supplying them with every necessary for war, and promising still more. The government of the Liegeois had forbid the sale of Montesquieu's Spirit of laws, and Voltaire's questions on the Encyclopedia-All the emigrants in that State were ordered to be equipped by the 10th of January. His Holiness the Pope has been very ill of an apoplectic fit, but was recovering-On the 26th of December, a letter was received at Coblenz from the Emperor to the French Princes, "he assured them of his most ample assistance-and that he had given orders to Gen. Bender to line the frontier"; the authenticity of the letter was however suspected.
A strict look-out was kept in the channel for the (British) Swallow packet, from India, which it was supposed would bring the most important accounts ever received from that country; it being expected in England the present campaign would determine the fate of Seringapatam and the Mysore country, Lord Cornwallis's army, and the whole of the English territory on Coromandel coast-The French emigrants at Coblenz were preparing to retire to Hanau and the Margraviate of Anspach but that the emperor's notification to the elector, "That he considered even the threat of invading that electorate as an hostility on the part of the French," had suspended their resolution.
ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
That the circumstances of the United States have been ameliorated by the operation of the general government, is so abundantly evident, that it must be perfectly astonishing to those who compare the past with the present situation of our country, to hear any complaints of its administration; facts are continually occurring in respect to particular States to prove the truth of the above remark, and with respect to the union there is a perfect renovation. The State of Massachusetts from being grievously oppressed with taxes, is now so relieved from public burthens as to supercede, for the current year, any imposition whatever: before the late war, the finances of that State were in so eligible a situation, that the government commanded the money of its citizens at a much lower, than the legal and current rate of interest; from present appearances it is very probable that their public credit will very shortly be equally favorably circumstanced. The situation of other States admits of similar observations.
Can it be possibly conceived then that a government which in its operations has produced such effects should be unpopular? All our senses contradict the supposition-and he that hath eyes to see, ears to hear, an heart to feel, and an head to understand, hath all these testifying continually in favor of the general government.
May the State governments be for ever dear to the people; but may they never be guilty of such ingratitude to heaven, as to deny the merits of the general government.
The word republicanism seems to be snatched up as a weapon to knock an adversary down. So much is said about it, one would naturally suppose that a good deal is done. Yet do we see that our declaimers with to make use of the word beyond the present occasion-Do they come forward and honestly say to the people-the great cause of inequality is the difference of education. He that knows much will influence those who know little; and if those who know much are few, and those who know little are many, an aristocracy exists, which nothing but the general diffusion of knowledge can remedy.
When will these men prove their republicanism by passing laws to establish free schools. Let the education of children become a common charge. It a man has property and no children, still he should be taxed to pay for the education of other men's children. The more knowledge the fater his property. It is a better protection than armies.
Every day before this work is begun, is time lost. It is planting seed which will continue to bear for ages. All other securities of liberty without this are trifling. Let every state then divide its territory into proper districts, and establish at least one school in each. Make a beginning, and afterwards carry on the good work as fast and as far as possible. Let the district be made liable to assessment for neglect, and let it be made the duty of every grand juror, on his oath, to present the breaches of the law. In this wealthy and flourishing city, the experiment could not fail; and a beginning made here, would shew what might be done elsewhere. The Philosophers, the Patriots, the friends of Liberty ought to rouse, and make a common cause against ignorance and vice, till in every part of united America provision shall be made by law for educating the children at the common charge.
Every good man rejoices in the progress of light and liberty-some preach up liberty for the sake of popularity, others preach it in the love of it-whatever the motives may be, still there is reason to rejoice-for genuine liberty, whatever the medium, is an acquisition to the world.

To be SOLD peremptorily, at PUBLIC VENDUE, on Wednesday the 11th day of April next.
THE SEAT of the late Doctor Lewis Johnson, deceased, in Perth-Amboy, containing TWO HUNDRED ACRES of LAND.
This place is bounded southerly for near a mile on the river Raritan, where it empties into the bay about 18 miles from Sandy-Hook, and affords two most agreeable situations for Gentlemen's Seats. There are now on it, two brick houses, with gardens, and a good collection of fruit trees of the best kinds. The land is very fertile, and a great part of it very good meadow; and from its situation on the river, has the advantage of fish of different kinds, in their seasons, particularly of oysters and chicken clams, which may be picked in great plenty on the flats before the doors. It is a delightful, healthy situation, capable of genteel and tasty improvements; and as Perth-Amboy is one of the best sea-ports in the United States, and within 18 miles of the sea, the prospect of its increasing in value from that circumstance, is by no means inconsiderable.
There will also be sold, other Lots, within the bounds of the city, and about Five Hundred Acres of Land on the opposite side of the river Raritan—part of which is improved by a farm—on which there is a framed dwelling-house and barn, with an orchard of grafted apple trees, and will contain about one hundred and fifty acres; the remainder will be sold in convenient lots, well wooded and timbered, and very convenient for supplying New-York and other markets with fire-wood, timber for ship building, and other uses, the transportation by water being easy and safe. The conditions will be made known at the day of sale, and the requisite conveyances made by
JAMES PARKER and } Trustees to the said Estate. BOWES REED, }
Likewise to be SOLD, at the same time and place,
ELEVEN ACRES of LAND, adjoining the above, the property of the Proprietors of East New-Jersey, whereon the proprietary house lately stood. The elegant situation of this spot is hardly to be equalled; it affords a grand prospect of Raritan Bay, and of the Bay formed by the waters of Raritan and Hudson's rivers, where they disembogue into the sea to the East—and a most delightful one of the serpentine course of the Raritan river, for several miles, through a rich tract of meadow to the West. The great quantity of stone neatly dressed, and brick, the remains of the house lately burned, will be nearly sufficient for a new building; and a large stone cistern, and well of excellent water, with a very convenient stable and coach-house, will greatly lessen the expence of putting the place in order for the residence of a Gentleman. There are few situations so eligible, particularly in the summer season—when the cool sea breezes, and the elevated situation, render them places of pleasing retreat, from the confinement and sultry air of the southern states and neighbouring cities.
