G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public, he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green-street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. A WARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established reputation and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
"Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been clearly demonstrated that its sale has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Eulys, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies. Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the full families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT. R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Mustard," as well as many others, has been shipped for America and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the public to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude even close observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States, G. SHAW, No. 120 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle. FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES. It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the FACULTY, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The fluid Essence of Mustard, is an emaciation worthy their particular attention, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten tract of general practice—It is an active stimulant, easily controlled; may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England. The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, of Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charlestown, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Hutchinson, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, I. & J. Mantz, Fredericktown, Maryland, G. W. Mancini, Albany, Dr. Vanfollen, New-York, Messrs. Titus, Ford & Son, do. Messrs. Rofs & Douglas, Pittsburgh, John Webster, Wilmington, James Wilson, do. Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N.B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, all others being a base and spurious imitation. GEO. SHAW. 120, Chestnut Street, where Venders may be supplied. "Caution against Counterfeits." Agents are appointed by G. Shaw, in every principal town of the United States, and there is no uncertainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Mustard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 120, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where Shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 15.
MR. FENNO,
THE following extracts from a charge delivered by Judge RUSH to the Grand Jury in Northampton county, on his circuit the last month, are published at the request of a number of friends. They are the more willingly published, as the latter extract which concludes the address, is said to have given great offence to some persons, and to have been grossly misrepresented by others, in order that a correct idea may be formed, whether it contains a deviation from former professions, which has been suggested to be the case. In the mean time, the writer is too thoroughly convinced of the truth and propriety of his sentiments, to retract a single observation, whoever may be displea- sed; or to make apologies to either party, for his feeble endeavors to support the tottering fabric of government, by considerations drawn from the practice of virtue and religion. Reading, May 15, 1799.  "Nor can we admit in the class of patri- ots those persons, who ungenerously deny their country, in the hour of danger and dis- tress, that aid and comfort she has a right to demand of every individual. At a time like the present, when we are alarmed with the report of invasion from abroad, and are agitated with discontent and insurrection at home, no sincere lover of his country can justify to himself embarrassing the measures of government; because such conduct neces- sarily tends to cherish the designs of our enemies, and ultimately to involve religion, law and government in one common ruin. At a time like this, every friend of his coun- try will feel the indispensable necessity of unanimity; and if he has any objections to the constitution, or to the administration of government, he nobly lays them aside, and gives up all opposition till the storm has blown over. The difference in the various forms of government, and in administering the laws, are in his opinion, objects of in- ferior consideration, trifles light as air, when compared with our national existence and independence. "It is fill our duty", ex- claimed a British admiral to his sailors, "to defend our country into whatever hands the administration of the government may fall." A noble and generous sentiment, that should be graven on the breast of every man, and actuate his conduct! Perverted indeed must be the understandings, and hard must be the heart that can abandon its country to inter- nal disorders, or to the ravages of a foreign foe, for no other reason than a differ- ence in judgment on certain political mea- sures; while it is acknowledged on all hands the essential rights of freedom are safe and untouched. Instability is the portion of no human being; and nothing short of it can authorize an opposition to inveterate and deadly, as to risk the existence of govern- ment itself, rather than acquiesce in laws repugnant to our views of propriety. The opponents to government will candidly con- fess, it is possible they may be wrong in their deduction of consequences from certain laws, and that they are no more entitled to the character of prophets than those who sup- port it. Upon these grounds it is the duty of one and all to join heart and hand in the most vigorous exertions to save our country from being overwhelmed by popular commo- tions from within, or by hostile invasion from abroad."  Nor can we esteem those persons to be patriots, who basely withhold from govern- ment that pecuniary assistance, without which it is impossible to support it. Wilfully ne- glecting or refusing to make return of our property when legally called upon, or de- signedly rendering a partial account, or in any other manner evading the payment of our just proportion of taxes, is in the highest degree mean, scandalous and dishonest. Every stratagem in consequence of which we pay less than we ought, or in the case of smug- gling, by which the duty is altogether avoid- ed, are infamous frauds on the rest of so- ciety. Should a man, possessed of a hand- some property, after having been sheltered for years from the rage and inecumbrancy of the seasons, exert all the arts of chicanery to avoid making a reasonable compensation to the owner of the house, he would justly be exposed to universal contempt, as a shameless and impudent knave. Nor does he deserve to be viewed in a less obnoxious light, whose dishonest or niggardly spirit is unwilling to make suitable acknowledgement for the nu- merous blessings he is daily receiving from the hand of government, and from a state of society. The payment of taxes is agreeable to the practice of all nations, and is the ob- vious dictate of common sense, to which Christianity has always added her solemn in- junction. The same divine authority that has forbidden the perpetration of murder and adultery, has commanded us to "render un- to Cæsar, the things that are Cæsar's"—trib- ute to whom tribute is due—custom to whom custom—fear to whom fear—and hon- our to whom honour." When we reflect that this precept was delivered in the reign of Tiberius or Nero, two of the greatest ty- rants of antiquity, we have no reason to sup- pose it derived any part of its sanction from the character of the sovereign, or the peculiar equity of his laws. Upon us therefore who enjoy an almost unlimited freedom, scarcely compatible with the existence of civil gov- ernment and order, this precept must apply with the utmost force, and be much more ob- ligatory than it was on the people to whom it was immediately addressed."  "It cannot then be denied, that the pub- lic prosperity of our land, depends upon the virtue of the people, and that the practice of vice, like a cancer in the natural body,  * Blake.  will at last extend itself to the vital of the country, and cut off our national existence. If this be the case, we may safely assert, that no man loves his country who lives in the habitual violation of any rule in her moral code; because by so doing he contributes his aid to accomplish her destruction. He may call himself a federalist or anti-federalist—a republican or a democrat—or whatever else he pleases; it is certain, he is but a preten- der to the character of a patriot. It is im- possible he can love his country, whose life and actions are hostile to her true interests. Party and personal prejudices he may possess in abundance, which to the world, and per- haps to himself, he may cover with the man-

Similar precautions to those which have been taken in Dublin, are adopted in Cork, to prevent any person from quitting the kingdom in that district, without a passport signed by the Collector or Surveyor of the port. This we understand will be strictly enforced.
Yesterday morning five of the State Prisoners were put on board a vessel lying in the river, to be conveyed from this country agreeable to the compact made between them and the Government. Two frigates are in the bay to convey them. Among those that have been already put on board we have collected the following names:
Kilmannham—T. A. Emmet, J. Chambers, J. Cuthbert, J. Cormick, J. Sweetman, Ed. Hudson, —Cummings. Newgate Arthur O'Connor, M. Dowling S. Nelson, Thomas Russell, Wm. Dowdall. Bridewell—Roger O'Connor, Hugh Wilson, E. Sweeney. Tower—Doctor M'Nevin.
The entire number destined to go by this vessel is supposed to be forty, as so many beds, it is said, have been prepared.
Their destination is reported to be some part of Great Britain.

An American who, on Monday last left Paris, relates, that the luxury of that ancient scene of dissipation, exceeds all former periods. Property transferred into hands unaccustomed to its use and acquired without labour, is rapid in its circulation; and a recent hair dresser, or present courtesan, frequently wastes as much a morning as would support a credible family for a year; the multitude, however, in curfews not loud but deep, attribute to the Government the pecuniary under which they labour, thirst for an opportunity to practice the scenes they reprobrate. Four of the Directors, apprehensive for their personal safety, are invisible. Barras, whose prodigality attaches the desperate, who had rather live by plunder than by work, keeps public tables, and gives chases and other entertainments, equal in magnificence to those of an Eastern Monarch. The French connection with us as well as dominion over St. Domingo, was conceived to be completely at an end, and that Toussaint would establish independence through the medium of Britain.

PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT. A subscription is now opened for the purpose of erecting, in a conspicuous and fit place, a Public Memorial, inscribed with the names of those worthy Patriots, in both Houses of Parliament, who eminently distinguished themselves upon the question of a Legislative Union—men, whose public virtue, unawed by power, and unshaken by alurements, have given a public evidence of their loyalty and their love for their country. It is the duty of that country, whose trade, liberty, and constitution they have saved, to transmit their names and their example to posterity, together with the names of such other Members as shall hereafter join the patriotic band.
Subscriptions are received at the Bank of the Right Hon. David La Touche and Co. and Sir Thomas Lighton, Bart. and Co. and Mr. D'Olier, Dame-street.
The die appears to be cast, and war once more will ravage the plains of Germany. By passing the Rhine at Kehl, the situation the French formerly possessed it at, Franconia and Suabia lie open to them, and their intent very probably will be to march towards the Danube, and from thence penetrate the Emperor's hereditary territories; for in that case, the provinces of both Anterior and Interior Austria will be open to attack. We shall however suppose, that the united armies of Francis and the Emperor Paul will not be idle, but that many bloody and dreadful conflicts will shortly take place.
The invasion of Germany, from the northern part of Italy, will be one great object with the French, while all the newly-organized Republics of that country will be obliged to furnish troops and necessary contingencies. It is on the side of Germany bordering on Lombardy that the Emperor's hereditary territories are the most valuable, and by which Buonaparte from compelled Francis to make a peace, as otherwise the term would have been dictated at the walls of Vienna. Independent of the Italian auxiliaries, the Swiss Cantons must also afford assistance, whose troops are deemed as brave a set of men as any on the Continent of Europe.
The following letter has been transmitted to the General Officers, &c. commanding in this kingdom.
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE.
Dublin, 16th March 1799.
The very distinguished state of Ireland, at the period of his Excellency's arrival, and the subsequent attempts of a foreign enemy to invade this country, prevented the Lord Lieutenant from having an opportunity of reviewing that most respectable military corps, the yeomanry of Ireland, during the last year.
"It is, however, his intention, as far as it may be in his power, personally to see them; and where that cannot be effected, to employ the general officers of the Staff, to inspect the whole body of yeomanry throughout the kingdom in the course of the ensuing month."
"The Lord Lieutenant is convinced, that the probability of their being soon called again into action, will induce them to appear as complete, and in as good order as possible; and he has no doubt that when the day of trial shall come, the same loyalty and public spirit, which have hitherto so eminently distinguished the yeomanry of Ireland, will animate them to stand bravely forward in defence of their King and Country, against the most inveterate enemies of the British Empire."

In pursuance, of a memorial addressed to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant by eight Justices of the peace of the County Mayo, agreed to at a Special Session held at Ballinrobe on the 18th inst. a Privy Council was held yesterday at the Castle, and proclamation ordered to be issued subjecting the country to martial law.

On Monday last was committed to the New Prison a noted offender Mary O'Hara. The circumstance under which this woman was taken was rather singular; A Gentleman (Mr. Robson M'G. of Charles-street) standing at his own door, saw her passing the opposite side of the way, and having known her for many years to be a woman of bad character, he called her over to him and searched her, and on her person found a silver watch with blood on it, also Limbrick, Cork, Waterford, Clonmel, and Dublin banknotes, with a quantity of gold, likewise several hundred papers with the watermark of the Bank of Ireland, and ready for impression. We hear he went to her lodgings and found a cloth used for copperplate printers in working off impressions, which had on it the mark of a guinea and a half notes of the Bank of Ireland.
A daring attempt was made last Tuesday on the house Mr. Armstrong, of Priesttown, parish of Kilbride, in the county of Meath, by five well armed villains. Finding their attempt vain, they were at length necessitated to retire, leaving behind them four very excellent hats.

In the afternoon, the several Yeomanry Corps marched into the Phoenix Park and fired a feu de joie on the occasion.
On Saturday a prisoner, styling himself an Officer in the service of the French Republic, was brought up from Belfast, and lodged in Dublin Castle. He says he is an American, but we hear his person has been identified as a native of this country, and having been present at the battle of Ballinamuck, from which period of time, to that of his being apprehended in the county of Antrim, is said to have traversed the country in various disguises.—Hib.

BOSTON, May 10.
Captain Delpou, who left Guadalupe the 4th of April, has favoured us with the following
DECLARATION OF WAR, AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
The Particular Agent of the Executive Directory at Guadalupe and its dependencies, has, ever since his arrival in the colony, confirmed the dispositions of the Executive Directory of the French Republic, with respect to neutral and allied nations:—His measures have been calculated to keep union and harmony and to cause their colours and their property to be respected.
Those measures were scrupulously observed with regard to the Americans. The citizens of that nation, who were detained, on his arrival, have been released. Those who were destitute of means, have been supplied with the succours which their situation required; and cartels were provided to carry them to New-York. The cargoes and ships seized and carried into Guadalupe and its dependencies were restored to the owners; and, to add to the proofs of our aversion from vexations and hostilities, the armed schooner of the United States, the Revenge, was sent back to the President.
The Particular Agent of the Directory could not, without astonishment and indignation, be informed, that in contempt of the free and open conduct observed in respect to that nation, Mr. Truxton, commanding the American ship Constellation, mounting FIFTY guns, insulted the colours of the French republic, and took, in an action wherein he was aggressor, the frigate Insurgent, whose captain had positive orders to respect the American flag.
Such a piece of hostility, exercised without a declaration of war, has induced measures, the result of which leaves no doubt that the American officer, in thus acting, followed the orders and instructions of his government.
From the above facts, and the hostilities which are daily committed by the Americans since the capture of the Insurgent,
The Particular Agent of the Executive Directory,
Considering, that it is his duty to cause the flag of the French republic to be respected, to protect the commerce and the seamen from the risks they have to run from the Americans, who are cruising in force on these coasts:
To adopt measures which may be the least prejudicial to negotiations that may have been begun between the two nations; and which may justify self-defence against aggression and insult, and even to prevent them:
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
I. The captains and officers who command the vessels of the republic, and those armed from the ports of Guadalupe and its dependencies, are authorized, from the date of the publication of the present Resolve, to pursue all American vessels, whether belonging to the government or to individuals; to seize and capture them, without distinction, and bring them into the ports of Guadalupe and its dependencies.
II. The vessels belonging to the American Government shall be kept to be used according to the order of the Executive Directory.
III. Such as are the property of individuals, and which may contravene the laws of the republic, and the resolves of the Executive Directory, respecting neutrals and allies, and liable to condemnation, agreeably to the purport of those same laws and resolves, shall be, as well as their cargoes, condemned by a judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce, and sold for the profit of the captors according to custom.
IV. The merchants' vessels, the papers of which shall have been acknowledged by the Tribunal to be regular, and not liable to condemnation, shall be sold, together with their cargoes, and the proceeds thereof deposited in the public coffers, that it may afterwards be delivered either to the captors or owners, agreeably to the orders of the Executive Directory.
V. In the foregoing dispositions are included, all American vessels and their cargoes, detained in the ports of Guadalupe and its dependencies, ever since information was received of the capture of the Insurgent.
The present resolves shall be read, published, posted up and registered in the Tribunal of Commerce and Council of the Navy.
All Public Functionaries, Owners and Commanders of ships of the Republic, and Privateers, whom it concerns, are hereby ordered to conform to the same.
Done at Basse Terre, in the National House of the Agent, the 24th Ventose, 7th year of the French Republic, One and Indivisible.

COMMUNICATION.
AFFAIRS IN INDIA.
WAR! WAR!
By the arrival of the Eliza, Capt. Folger, from Calcutta, we are favoured with the following particulars regarding the political state of India, wherein it appears that that quarter of the globe is likely to experience the baneful influence of French principles, by the war that has already commenced between Great Britain and Tippoo Sultan, the firm ally of the French nation, consequently the mortal foe of the English. In consequence of an intercepted correspondence, between Tippoo Sultan, with Buonaparte and the French Directory, wherein he urges them, in the most earnest manner, to send a body of troops to India, to enable him to attack the English, the earl of Mornington, go-
vernor general of India, had left Calcutta, and arrived at Madras, in the beginning of January, in order to co-operate with more effect with the commander in chief of the British army, who had taken the field with immense force, in order to attack Tippoo's capital of Seringapatam, while two other armies of inferior force, had actually moved from Bombay, and Hyderabad, in order to subdue the remote provinces of Tippoo; by which it appears that the total annihilation of that power is an event that must soon take place; as the French, by whom he has been misled cannot afford him the smallest assistance; even the two Great Powers, the Marattas, and the Nizam, it appears are so exasperate against Tippoo that they have joined their Forces to those of the English, in order to destroy a Prince, whose restless ambition, has been the cause of exciting this formidable combination against him. For which purpose three large armies of British and natives had taken the Field the principal one of which had actually marched from Madras, notwithstanding that Tippoo, had supplicated, in the most earnest manner, an accommodation; but it was the universal opinion that nothing less than the destruction of this power would content the combined powers.
On the month of November last, a very formidable army, commanded by the Republican General Piron, consisting of nearly 15,000 men, and which had been for several years employed by the Nizam, were attacked and dispersed by a body of British troops drawn towards Hyderabad for that purpose, it has since been discovered that General Piron had determined to join his forces with Tippoo. The reduction of this force was effected with little bloodshed, and General Piron, & nearly 200 French Officers, had been sent prisoners to Calcutta. Zemaun Shaw, with a large army, had approached the British Provinces, in the northern parts of Bengal and threatened to create a powerful diversion in favor of Tippoo Sultan, but on that quarter an English army of 20,000 men was prepared to oppose him.
It is supposed that Zemaun Shaw is instigated to this measure by Buonaparte, who has, it is reported, dispatched Ambassadors to his Court; although the immense distance between them totally prevented any idea of succour from Egypt; it was in fact the received opinion in the East, that Buonaparte's army, would, in a few months be destroyed. It cannot therefore be doubted but the events that will take place in India, during this year, will be of the most important nature, and will probably tend, in their consequences, to place the British power in that quarter on the most firm basis.

NEW YORK, May 14.
Yesterday, in obedience to General Orders, the several uniformed companies and troops of horse, paraded in front of Trinity Church, Broadway, and marched from thence through Broadway, Beaver, Broad, Wall and Pearl streets to Bayard's ground where they performed a variety of exercises and evolutions in a very soldierlike manner. The correctness with which they went thro' the service and duties of the day, would have done honor to veterans.
To behold the Youth of our country, the hope of respectable families, engaged in military exercises—alternatively assuming the military and civil distinctions—treading the rugged road of severe discipline to render the future roads efficient—Voluntarily offering their services and pledging their lives and fortunes for the defence and salvation of their country, must be highly flattering to American feelings.
To be prepared for the first is commendable, even in times of peace—but, at a period like the present, when the events of a day—an hour—may render active measures indispensable to the public safety, it is infinitely more so—Though we all sincerely hope that no portion of our fellow citizens will ever hereafter, by a criminal resistance to the laws, compel the firm supporters of our government, and of republicanism, to unsheathe the sword, and reduce them to submission—yet, should such an event unhappily occur, there can be no possible doubt but our Volunteers would turn out with as much alacrity, and execute the duties of Citizen Soldiers as honourably, as those of a sifter state, just returned from the scene of insurrection.
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 14.
We congratulate our readers on the progress of federalism in Virginia, and on the success of the Federal ticket in the city of New-York.—Truth it is seen triumphs, while falsehood stands confounded. The present may be considered as a new era in American politics—Our government may be said to rest on a more sure foundation than ever, and bid defiance to the clamours of noisy demagogues, and the restless spirit of that faction which has so long labored to destroy all law and all liberty that does not coincide with its licentious principles. It is now decided by the great body of the people of America, that it is better "to stand on our own, than on foreign ground;" that uniting under the federal standard is the best way to preserve our liberty and independence, to promote our individual and public interest, to make us strong and powerful as a nation, and to give us respectability in the eyes of the world.
We never doubted, that the people in general were well affected to our government, so far as they were acquainted with its principles. The reason why in so many places there has been an appearance of disaffection is, because from the cunning artifice and in-
trigue of a few wicked designing men, falsehood has been substituted in the place of truth, and many people made to believe things, which never existed, except in the disordered imaginations of the idle, discontented and aspiring few. The film is now removed from their eyes, they see their errors, and seeing, they believe the truth.
The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 15.
This morning about 12 o'clock, the Officers of the first and second Troop of Volunteer Cavalry, and the Officers of the first, second and third City Troops, called upon the editor of the Aurora to know what Troop was alluded to in the Aurora of the 14th inst. in which it was stated, that one of the Troops had lived "at free quarters" on the late expedition to Northampton—One of the Officers addressing himself to the Editor observed, that they had called to know what Troop was meant in yesterday's Aurora as living at "free quarters" on the late expedition to Northampton—The editor answered he would not designate the Troop at fault; the officer observed, it is an easy matter for you to say what Troop you meant to implicate. The editor again said he would not at this time—He was then asked if he would name a time—The Editor answered he would not: he was then pressed to say what Troop was meant. The Editor answered he would not, because it was an electioneering Trick. The officer then said you are a damned liar, if you say I mean this enquiry as an electioneering Trick. The editor answered I am not a liar. The officer then said you can certainly say whether you did or did not mean my Troop. The Editor said he would not say what Troop—He was then told, you must say whether you did or did not. The Editor then said he would not say any man with Pistols; on which it was generally observed, don't fight him with Pistols—whip the rascal. When, upon the Editor's positively refusing to say whether he did or did not allude to any of the City Troops, the officer struck him, and the Editor was forced down stairs. When, in the court yard, the Editor was asked repeatedly to give up the author, which he absolutely refused to do; and was then whipped as he deserved. After receiving the first or second stroke, he declared he did not know the author. He was asked how did you come by your information? He answered it was anonymous; after which he again and repeatedly refused to give up the author, and was again whipped. Wednesday, May 15th.

AQUA TINTA. This pleasing style of working in Copper-plate, though perhaps as simple and easy, and certainly more expeditious than any other, has never, we believe, been introduced into this country, 'till within a short time past; some little things in this line, have lately been produced by Mr. Perkins, a very ingenious English artist, author of the elegant "Monastic Remains."
Mr. Savage has nearly finished two large plates in aqua tinta, the one representing the chase of the Insurgente by the Constellation, and the other, the hard fought and glorious action between those two frigates.
We believe these plates are the first in that style ever attempted by an American artist. We are happy to say, that the execution of them is worthy of a subject so highly flattering to the national pride of Americans.
GAME.
One would think that the good sense of so enlightened a community as ours, might supply the deficiency of game laws, so much reprobated and so little understood. It is a serious fact, however, that undiscriminating and unreasonable gluttony is fast annihilating a source of rational and useful pleasure, which by a little restraint might be preserved in the most copious abundance for many years to come. Certain miserable Pot-Hunters, with more than savage malignity, are daily destroying at this so interesting a period, great numbers of Partridges, preferred by gentlemen in Philadelphia, at great expense and care, from the ravages of a tedious and severe winter.
