VERGENNES. February 14. On the 9th inst. I. you left the goal of this city accompanied by about 15 sleighs and 5 lumber boxes, with persons from one to five in each. Very great concern appeared lest he should be taken with new process. It was not wanting for seditious expressions and practices that this was not his fate; for in his late address on his lottery scheme he does not hesitate to assert that law, Judge, Jury, and government, are "usurped power." He was in such perturbed hurry, as to leave his great coat and clothes, though it rained, and his Dulcinea behind him to mule upon her own ire. The moment he was released, fearing the arm of the law for seditious practices or in behalf of his merciless creditors would be laid upon him, he exclaimed, "I am on my way to Congress." Surrounded by a group of faithful demo's, he was hurried into the street, where a sleigh was ready to receive him, and was driven off with such precipitation that a number, who had come 50 or 100 miles to see their leader in sedition had not so much as one glance to bless their longing eyes! One of his company, as soon as they passed the street of houses, in attempting to luzzza for Lyon, the vessel losing its ballast, fell over board, but though seas were, was not drowned! A report and probability exist, that sedition is so unpopular and the first essays meet with no better reward, and law is not asleep, that he will no more return to Vermont! "And each repeat a loud Amen!!!"
February 21. Through various channels, of first credibility, we learn that Mr. Lyon, after leaving the jail of this city, had the consummate effrontery to hoist, in his sleigh, the French flag, as he rode through the several towns where his electors chiefly reside. This is explanatory of his political sentiments, and shews how well his views accord with the Virginian patriots! "What happier natures lurk at with affright, The hardy Lyon will contend is right." When he arrived at Bennington, the schoolmaster dismissed his scholars, one of whom, as may justly be presumed, from the purity of the composition, addressed the "man on his way to Congress," and the music of chaotic harmony warbled her slander and her hero's fame!
SUFFIELD, MARCH 5. THE affairs in Europe have not altered their late complexion. The speech of the king of England to his parliament is full of dignity and superiority. That kingdom, where the superficial have pronounced as fast tottering to its fall, is firm, unshaken as mount Atlas. Every part of the nation appears to enjoy an unrivalled, unprecedented state of success, wealth, and prosperity. France bites her own chains and prays on her own vitals. Both the Directory and Council of 500 are filled up with traitors to each other. Their frequent denunciations declare the world how little the y feel of fraternal love or republican liberty. It softens not the sorrows of the deluded captive to hear his chains called the dear bands of fraternity and the imprescriptible rights of man. The Belgians have dared to complain of the yoke, which galls them beyond tolerance. They struggle, as the roused lion in the net, to deliver themselves from French equality and unheard of usurpation. The voice of the political fcer will dare to pronounce, that the virtuous struggles of the oppressed will ere long, crown their exertions with success. The conquered provinces will not always be tame as the jackdaw, and like the unsuspicious lamb, "lick the hand that is raised to shed their blood." Brune, the General in Italy, has displaced three of the Roman representatives! O! what rare government! precious liberty! The mouth of their cannon is the oracle of reason, and the point of the bayonet the argument of sancolettes! How well this agrees with the fine speeches of Freuchen, with promises of delivering the oppressed, and making the world happy!

AN AUTHOR'S EVENINGS. Dr. Moore has been very fortunate in the selection of a motto for his "View of the causes and progress of the French Revolution," but it is from a learned language, and from no very perspicuous author. Tacitus is his authority, who, in the initial section of his annals, has the following passage, which very aptly describes the conclusion and horrors, incident to a revolution. "Opus optimum casibus, atroxi p elus, discors seditioni bus, ipsa etiam pace secum." I have often been at a loss to determine what appropriate English motto could be found, by an author of a History of the French Revolution. Perhaps the following lines from Hamlet, would fit, in tailor's phrase, tolerably well. "You shall hear Of cruel, bloody, and unnatural acts; Of incidental judgments, casual slaughters; Of deaths put on by cunning and forc'd cause; And in the upshot, purposes mistook, FALLEN ON THE INVENTORS' HEADS: All this can I Truly deliver"
Horace somewhere speaks of the tardy invention of water drinkers. I will not advocate excess in wine, especially in a learned life, for though Bacchus may aid wit and fancy, yet to memory and judgment he is a determined foe. But, such is the great waste of the animal spirits, when an author is engaged in the work of composition, that in the intervals of literary labour, a few glasses glowing in the stomach, will not injure the trains of the mind. A hu-
morous friend, to whom Cheyne's abstemious rules were recommended, replied, classically, in the words, with a slight variation, of Falstaff's in Shakespeare; "water itself is a good healthy water; but for the man who drinks it, he may have more diseases, than I should care for."
Those who read with interest and attention the more casual, periodical essays of the Augustan age of literature in England, are naturally prone to be curious, concerning the author of a particular essay, with which they may be delighted or informed. Those judiciously inquisitive readers may not find, that Nos. 6. 8. 10. 12. 13. 16. 19. 25. of "The World," were written by Horace Walpole. Of this great literary character, a judicious critic says, with truth, that, "In the walk of grave, sarcastic humour, and ironical pleasantries, he was equalled only by Swift."
In the works of an elegant critic, little known among the generality of readers, I found and admired, last evening, the following beautiful encomium upon the author of Othello and Hamlet. The reign of Queen Elizabeth produced Shakespeare, that master of human nature and human life; that prodigy of invention and imagination; that commander of the sublime, the pathetic and the comic; that painter of eternal passions, and eternal manners; that miracle of description, moral wisdom and deep penetration; and that treasure of pure poetry.
I ever admired the fine talents and the ardent loyalty of my lord Falkland, celebrated, by the pen of Hume, for his attachment to the unfortunate cause of Charles I. This nobleman, a genuine descendant from the Beauclerc family, was a fine scholar and the mirror of courtesy, and therefore scorned the political leveller, and the "presbyterian four," who presumed to cabal and to contend against government. Of the Falklands, it is observed, by a vigorous writer, that they were a family devoted to literature, through four generations. Learning, loyalty, and courtesy, are an excellent trio. I wish that their alliance were more common. The cant of democracy, the mud of sans culottism, and the whine of the dissenter, would then cease; and every base particle of society would remain in the lowly station, assigned by nature.
YOUNG LITTLETON In genius and vice a paragon. A hen then might fancy that this airy spirit, volatile as surrounding ether, sometimes danced the hayes among the fine and tenuous forms in the planet Venus; and sometimes misused among the orators, or did penance among the physicians, in Mercury.

TO THE Promoters of Literature. THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold. The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot. It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars. Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177, South Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an extensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top. Land and out lots in the vicinity of the Town may be had on moderate terms by applying, as above. Mechanics and laborers, of good morals will meet with encouragement. jan. 19. 3aw2m
Canal Lottery No. II. WILL be finished in the course of the present month. The wheel is upwards of 80,000 dollars richer in proportion than at the commencement of the drawing, and only 3,750 tickets remain undrawn—Tickets 12 dollars each, to be had at William Blackburn's Lottery and Broker's office, No. 68, South Second-street, until Saturday the 4th instant, after which day's drawing they will be 35 dollars, and will rise considerably at the close of every future day's drawing. march 2. 2awtf
To be sold on moderate terms, A HANDSOME SITUATION for BUILDINGS, TWENTY miles due north from Philadelphia on the great post and stage road, leading from thence to Balton and Bethlehem. It is high, airy and beautiful, commanding an extensive prospect, especially on the south side; together with, also, any quantity of land contiguous, from 1 to 100 acres, arable, meadow and wood-land. On this land, about 50 poles distant, is a never-failing spring of pure water. At the spot, a well has been dug, but not finished: some collections of stones, boards and scantling for an house, were also made, a considerable time ago, and will be sold or not, at the option of the purchaser of the lot. Let tradesmen, whose business requires a public stand—let citizens, who with a retreat for health, for pleasure, or repose, apply to the subscriber near the premises. NATHANIEL IRWIN. Neshannoy, march 4, 1799. Should the lot be purchased by a citizen of Philadelphia, whose business, or distance may render it inconvenient, for him to superintend the erection of suitable buildings, the subscriber will have no objection to erect such, either by contract or as agent for the purchaser.

(by the names of Stephen and Charles) to the care of John McWhirts and Thomas Kerker, from whom they made their escape—Whoever apprehends the above negroes, and has them secured in jail, so that the subscribers may get them again, shall receive the above reward, or fifty dollars for either.
