Salisbury Estate.
THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his business, offers this Estate for sale, on moderate terms. On it are one Bluff and three Air Furnaces, a complete Boring Machine, and a very good Gril Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge, all in perfect repair, as are all the Water Works connected with these various branches. The Air Furnaces were lately built for the purpose of calling Cannon for this State. There are about two thousand acres of Land, one half of which is under wood, the other very fine arable Land, producing the best Hay and Pasture. The Cannon lately manufactured there, fully proves the excellence of the metal, which is superior to any in this country, and probably, equal to any in the world; for none of the sixty-nine guns lately made, although some of the 24 were bored into 32 pounders have failed on proving. The situation is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the state of Connecticut, and only 50 miles from several landings on the Hudson's river, and having every advantage that can result from a plenty of water flowing from a large natural pond, very near the Furnace, and which may be converted into a variety of other useful purposes. The purchaser can be accommodated with all the stock and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the mean time for putting the Blast immediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered in good order, with some coal, Ore, &c. &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadelphia; David Brooks, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress for this State; Mr. David Waterman, on the premises, or to the proprietor in New-York.

The appendix contains some of the best rules for writing elegantly, and with propriety, that we recollect to have seen. Monthly Review, July 1796. "This Grammar is, on many accounts entitled to commendatory notice; its materials have been carefully and judiciously selected; its arrangement is distinct and well adapted to the purpose of instruction and its expression is simple, perspicuous and accurate." See the character at large in the Analytical Review, July 1796.
English Exercises,
Adapted to the Grammar lately published by Lindley Murray, consisting of exemplification of the parts of speech, instances of falls orthography, violations of the rules of syntax, defects in punctuation, and violations of the rules respecting perspicuity and accuracy, designed for the benefit of private learners, as well as for the use of schools. "We have been much pleased with the perusal of these Exercises. They occupy an important place in the science of the English language; and as such, we can warmly recommend them to the Teachers of Schools, as well as to all those who are desirous of attaining correctness and precision in their native tongue."

To the Inhabitants of the United States.
SINCE the knowledge of medicine, none has ever proved so astonishingly efficacious, for universally esteemed, or to which the afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Sprains, Bruises and Chilblains, may look for relief with so much confidence, as Whitehead's essence of Mustard.
This extraordinary Medicine very soon affords the wished for relief, even to the aged in cases the most desperate. For their substantial reasons it is patronized by all ranks of people in England. From the great number of communications constantly received by Mr. Johnson, he is under the necessity (in laying them before the world) of abridging their contents; the following letters (although curtailed) are of very important, and the signature to very respectable, that he conceives he should be doing injustice to Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, were he to withhold them from public inspection.
Letter from Mrs. Mills, Housekeeper to the Duke of Cumberland. Nov. 1, 1795. Sir, A most inveterate Rheumatism and Lumbago (occasioned by laying in a damp bed, when at Brussels, in the suit of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumberland) has afflicted me eighteen years. I have employed the first medical gentlemen in London, and (although I received no benefit) am bound to acknowledge my gratitude to several of the nobility, who knew my deplorable situation, and humanely sent me their physicians; I have also tried most advertised medicines. At length, Sir, after eighteen years excruciating torture, a few bottles of your Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, have, I thank God, restored me to the inestimable blessings of health and permanent ease. Yours, much obliged, S. MILLS.
Copy of a letter from G. Countess, Esq. Captain of His Majesty's Ship the Dedalus. Nov. 8, 1795. Sir, As I expect to sail in a few days, I beg you will immediately forward me a dozen of Whitehead's Essence of Mustard. It gives me considerable satisfaction to inform you, I have myself experienced its good effects, and have in several instances of Rheumatism, Sprains, and Bruises, witnessed its astonishing efficacy. I think you would consult your own interest by appointing it to be sold at Portsmouth, and all other seaports; for you may rest assured, when this invaluable specific becomes generally known, not an Officer in His Majesty's Navy will go to sea without it. Yours, &c. G. COUNTESS.
Sir, Dec. 20, 1795. A severe stroke of the Palsy, six months ago, deprived me of my speech, and he use of one side. In this desperate situation, Whitehead's Essence of Mustard was very strongly recommended, and, I thank God successfully applied. By persevering in its use a short time, I was completely restored, and continue to enjoy the full and perfect use of my faculties, although near eighty years of age. Yours, &c. W. FRANCIS.
No. 14, St. Andrew-street, Pinrico. Mr. Francis has held a public Auction at the Guildhall in the city of Westminster, many years, and is well known to the generality of the respectable inhabitants.
Letter from A. McCann Esq. Capt. of the 60th regiment, dated Fort George, Guernsey, Jan. 4, 1797. Sir, Upwards of five years past I have been afflicted with a most violent Rheumatic Affection in my head, which has baffled the skill of the most eminent Physicians; some months since I was induced to try your Whitehead's Essence of Mustard. I am now happy to inform you, it has done me essential service, and I think it necessary to declare, no other medicine ever gave me the smallest degree of relief. I am with regard, yours, &c. A. McCANN.
Capt. 60th Regt. August, 1795. Mr. Middleton, of Chesterfield-street, St. Mary-le-bone was so severely afflicted with the Rheumatic Gout, as to be unable to move in his bed for six months; his limbs were enormously swelled, and at length from excessive pain became quite black. In this distressing situation he was induced to try your Whitehead's Essence of Mustard; the effect far exceeded the most sanguine expectation, his pain was immediately alleviated, and his limbs returned to their natural colour; his appetite restored, and in a very short time he was enabled to leave his bed and walk with crutches; and by a few weeks perseverance, was completely restored to the full enjoyment of perfect health. Mr. Middleton, with his son, repeatedly called as he got better, on Mr. Johnston, and declared that his life was utterly despaired of.
Respected Sir, Nov. 6, 1795. Passing by a crowd, in the fifth month of her pregnancy, my wife received a dreadful blow on her side, which apparently destroyed the life of the infant; after the most skilful advice, and trying various remedies for two months, the full found the symptoms increase to an alarming degree; spitting of blood—shortness of breath—and other disagreeable circumstances appeared from so violent a bruise, afforded only the fatal appearance of her speedy dissolution. A friend to whom I related her sad case, having experienced great benefit from your Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, kindly presented me with a bottle; to my unspeakable satisfaction, it speedily relieved her from pain; a second bottle has removed every disagreeable symptom, and with the most heartfelt gratitude I inform you, we have the happy prospect of her long continuing a living mother to our numerous family. Yours, &c. T. HURLOCK.

War Office, November 9th, 1797. SIR,
After having been engaged for a period of almost twelve years, in the Department of War, I am at length constrained on account of my infirm state of health, to communicate to you my intention of retiring from that employment. I shall request the favour of being indulged with a few days, to adjust my public and private concerns; after which I shall have the honour to announce to you my official resignation.
With great respect and esteem, I am Sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) JOHN STAGG, Junr. Chief Clerk.
The Honorable the Secretary of War.
War Office, November 15th, 1797. SIR,
On the 9th inst. I informed you of my intention, after having settled my public accounts, of retiring from my present employment. This being accomplished, I now beg leave to resign the appointment of Chief Clerk in the War-Office of the United States; and have only to regret, that it has not been in my power, since you have been at the head of the department, by reason of sickness, to have discharged the various duties of my station, with that punctuality and attention, which I trust have been exhibited by me on former occasions. Be pleased to accept my thanks for your friendship and politeness, and believe me to be, Sir, With great esteem and respect, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) JOHN STAGG, Junr. The honourable JAMES M'HENRY, Esq. Secretary of War.
War Office 15th November, 1797. SIR,
I have received this morning your letter of this date, resigning your appointment of Chief Clerk in the War Office. My early acquaintance with you; my confidence in your honour and integrity, and the intimate knowledge of the business of the office, which you had acquired by long experience, make me regret that any circumstance whatever should deprive the public of your services. Be pleased to accept of this sincere testimony of your worth, and my best wishes for your welfare. I am Sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) JAMES M'HENRY. Major JOHN STAGG, Junr.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.
The revolutionists in the Ligurian (Genoese) republic, have taken a wiser method to make republicans, than the use of guillotines. They have appointed forty missionaries to travel over their territory, to preach and explain the principles of democracy.
The Earl of St. Vincents has appointed William Hale Gage, Esq. to the command of the Terpsichore in the place of Capt. Bowen, killed at Tenerife.
A Dublin paper states that 2446 looms are now idle in the cotton, silk, stuff, broadcloth and ribbon manufactures; leaving 11,458 industrious hands unemployed, and their families without bread.
The purchasers of national confiscated property in France suffer so much from the old proprietors or their friends, that in the southern departments, Mont Blanc and Isere and Var, 60,000 of them had entered into associations for their mutual protection.
In a debate in the Council of Five Hundred August 28, a motion was made for the payment of officers on half pay; but it was proposed that no officer should receive his money in the Commune where the legislative body sat. General Jourdan remonstrated against this article as unjust. Among other reasons suggested by him for not compelling old officers to retire into the departments, we notice the following—"that to wear regimentals in the departments was sufficient to endanger their safety." This declaration excited murmurs, and was, by one officer, denied. But others supported the opinion as correct.
We note this opinion of a cool disinterested man, who cannot be suspected of misrepresentation as a stronger proof of the popular sentiment in France with regard to the existing Government, than a hundred harangues of Jacobins in office. If the regimentals of republican officers are so disagreeable a sight in the departments, the inference is certain, that the cause and the form of government in which they have been worn, are odious and unpopular.
Facts of all kinds are incessantly occurring to convince the world that a majority of the people in France wish for a monarchy—not the old regimen of despotism, feudal services and church monopolies; but a monarchy governed by a fixed constitution and laws enacted by a National Representation. The most enlightened men in that country seem to think the manners and ha-
bits of the people, the populouiness of the country, and the vices of its inhabitants require such a form of government.
The armies however are of a different opinion. They subsist on their enemies—they have not felt the evils and insecurity of rights, the anarchy, distress and inveterate passions which torment the citizens at home—They are firm and unanimous in support of a republican form of government, and while these armies exist, with such sentiments, the people must patiently yield to their destiny.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) November 25. Died, early this morning, aged about 65 years, much lamented, Henry Ward, Esq. secretary of this State, which office he had held many years, and discharged the duties of it with great ability, and the strictest integrity. He was an honest man, and an intrepid patriot.
PETERSBURGH, Nov. 24. Extract of a letter from capt. Howard, of the ship Monimuzza, bound from Liverpool to James river, dated St. Thomas's, Oct. 15, 1797.
"On the 2d of September last I was captured by a French brig, called the L' Aigle, capt. Marin from St. Domingo, who took out the people with both mates, and ordered the ship for Porto Rico; and after experiencing every misfortune from the unskillfulness of the French and their want of humanity, we arrived off the island of Porto Rico the last day of September. Just as we were entering the harbour of Porto Rico, we were recaptured by the British frigate L'Amiable, commanded by William Granville Lobb, who took us in tow, and carried us to Tortola. At Tortola I was informed that if I would pay one eighth of the cargo I should be at liberty to proceed on the voyage; but not having any instructions at Liverpool, I told them it was out of my power to pay any thing about the cargo—they then concluded to take out the cargo and sell it, for the benefit of those who might have a right to claim the overplus.
"When taken I was about 70 leagues to the eastward and northward of cape Henry, I will thank you to inform the shippers and others of these circumstances.
"The French are taking every vessel, let them be bound where they may—and nothing saves them but not having a good cargo. Yesterday I came from Tortola to this place to endeavour to get people and provisions to carry the ship home."
Departed this life, yesterday, Mr. William Randolph, of Petersburg.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, Sept. 29. A council was held on Wednesday of all the cabinet ministers, except the Earl of Liverpool, when we understand, it was finally determined that parliament should meet for the dispatch of business on Tuesday, the 2d of November next.
The Irish parliament is prorogued by a proclamation dated the 15th inst. from the 21st inst. to the 24th of Oct.
The late negotiation—The following are given as the outlines of the last conferences between Lord Malmesbury and M. Treillard.
M. Treillard, on arriving at Lisle, immediately waited on Lord Malmesbury, and after the usual salutation, addressed his Lordship as follows:—"My Lord, the French government has charged me to acquaint your excellency, that the events which have lately passed in France have not altered the sincere disposition of the executive government for peace; and it has therefore determined to conclude it on the basis delivered by M. Lelourneur at the commencement of the negotiation. The French government has no object more at heart than to restore harmony between France and England, according to the principles which may secure the prosperity of the two nations. At the same time Mr. Treillard presented a paper to Lord Malmesbury, containing the ultimatum of the French government.
Lord Malmesbury, after having read the paper with attention, replied to M. Treillard—"Among the objects contained in the paper put into my hands, there are some of the utmost importance, and on which it is necessary I should consult with my colleagues; but I think I may say, there are some points which are inadmissible. However, there requires time, to reflect on a business of so very important a nature, before I can give you a categorical answer."
Treillard then asked his lordship whether he had full powers to treat on the basis that was proposed; to which Lord Malmesbury replied—"that he had full powers to treat for any terms; but that his instructions did not permit him to accept of the propositions offered, without first communicating with his court."
"My Lord," said Treillard, the government which sent me hither has charged me to signify to you, that if your instructions do not allow you to accept of the conditions I have delivered you should quit Lisle within twenty four hours." Lord Malmesbury replied, "tell your government that I shall be out of Lisle within eight hours." The parties then bowed to each other and retired.
It was yesterday reported, that a very serious mutiny had broken out among the Dutch fleet.
A Vienna letter of the 9th inst. says, the Italian army of imperialists consisting of 132,000 men, is to be reinforced by recruits and troops of the line, which every day passes thro' that city.
October 1. The hostile dispositions evinced by the triumvirs, being without semblance of control on the destruction of Carnot and Barthélemy led to an apprehension that the conferences at Lisle, which appeared a sacrifice to public opinion, would terminate on the first plausible pretext—but a pretext was
not waited for, and the request of our ambassador to be allowed to consult on a most extraordinary requisition, occasioned an order that he should leave the country. The executive conceiving that the people, wearied of carnage, would require to be told the cause of its continuance, have displayed much subtlety in a proclamation, which required the armies to prepare to act offensively against the Emperor, on the 6th of October, but the great object of which was, to irritate the public mind against England and Austria; whom they represent as the cause of all the calamities that had happened, and that were about to follow; though the refusal to return Mantua to the Emperor, as stipulated in the preliminary articles, and the invitation to the countries of Treves, Cologn, &c. &c. to solicit the protection of France in the establishment of a republic at this side the Rhine, in defiance of the same articles; together with the compliance to the solicitation, as stated by M. Kempis, president of the municipality of Cologn, who intimates in his proclamation, that France requires the Cisalpine republic to form an immediate guard of 60,000 men—prove that the Executive of France, either from an insatiable thirst of conquest, or an apprehension that foreign war is necessary to divert the people from the consideration of domestic oppression, have not had any serious desire for the restoration of peace.
The death of Gen. Hoche is, to the directory, a misfortune of the first magnitude—The same desperate spirit had led each to power, and similar interest created reciprocal regard.
Moreau, almost immortalized by his retreat, is destroyed by his peridy: his strength would have been perhaps invincible if, to retain it, he had not traduced and sacrificed his friend.
To infinite resolution Jourdan, and many others, join considerable military talents, but, besides a deficiency of that genius which should comprise all things at once, they are not to be trusted.
Buonaparte, who unites all the qualities requisite to found an empire, continues his professions of attachment to the directory. Whilst each pursues the same object, the appearance will continue; but the first clash of interest will create hostility, and we err if the period is far distant.
Yesterday the French emigrant, General Trotte, arrived in town from France; he came by way of Havre and Portsmouth, and left Paris on the 26th ult. He represents that capital to be in a state of great and general confusion, and mentions the prevalence of a report that hostilities had been renewed between the French and Austrians.
The fifty-four new members in the councils are the immediate creatures of the directory.
In the southern and western provinces of France, the people have manifested their disapprobation of the recent revolution in the capital, by acts of violence against the partisans of the prevailing party; they afford asylums to the emigrants, and have deprived of their offices some functionaries who attempted to enforce the late decrees against them. The ci-devant provinces of Auvergne, Lionnois, Main, Anjou, and Bretagne, are mentioned among the most disaffected—the latter in particular, where the military power is insufficient to repress the disorders of the populace. Peace is everywhere desired, and the government was censured for deferring the period of its return.
The unfortunate prosecuted Frenchmen who daily flock to this kingdom, represent the mass of their countrymen as on the eve of insurrection, for the purpose of enforcing a revocation of the late sanguinary laws against emigrants, and a serious disposition on the part of the directory to peace. Their statements are too frequently the impression of their hopes, and have often proved erroneous—they are now unanimous and consistent in stating (and all that we have heard on the subject warrant our believing them) that the new tyrants of France is obnoxious to the people, who seek occasion to destroy it.
PARIS, September 27.
It is certain that General Bernadotte will not accept of the command of the three divisions in the South. He prefers returning to Buonaparte, in order to put an end to the war in Italy.
Gen. Dutertre has been arrested and sent to Paris—10,000 livres and several watch chains have been found in the straw matras of his bed. It is said that his custom was to swell the bills of expenses, and to lay the communes on the road under contribution. The adjutant-general who accompanied him accuses him of these facts and has sent him to Paris with a guard.
Monsieur de Fouville, one of the greatest friends of the conspirators, read yesterday at Exchange, a letter, informing him that the insurgent army of the south is composed of 60,000 men, that they have killed 1000 republicans, and forced Gen. Laune to capitulate. We wish the Police to watch over this Monsieur Fouville, who takes the quality of agent de change while he is only an agent of Louis XVIII. On our part, we can assure that Marseilles is quiet.
[Ami des Loix.]
Francois de Neufchateau, the new Director, was in September, 1795, taken into custody by order of the committee of Public Safety, for the supposed aristocratic principles of his play called Pamela. Barrere, who caused and who extolled the arrest, has not much kindness to expect from that quarter.
VIENNA, September 13.
Gen. Buonaparte, whose health has for some time been in a weak state, receives the medical advice of the celebrated physician, Mufcati, who is now one of the directors of the Cisalpine republic.

NEW-YORK, Dec. 2.
The public has been amused from time to time with news-paper paragraphs and extracts of letters from the West-Indies, announcing that the French privateers had received orders to cease cruising against the American trade—and that consequently, our vessels might navigate those seas with safety. How well founded these reports have been, let the experience of every American that has been met by a French cruiser declare. It is much more than probable that the several intimations lately made public of another favorable change in our allies, are bottomed on the same grounds with the preceding; and that nothing more is intended than to induce Americans to enter without apprehension the regions of ruin, left our brotherly allies, deprived of their resources, should incur the danger of wanting provision. Let us be on our guard against such improbable tales—Let us have evidence more worthy of reliance than the unauthenticated paragraphs, circulated by enemies, it may be supposed, rather than by friends, before we put ourselves in the way of being made a sacrifice to the cupidity and unbridled licence of a banditti as unprincipled as the barbarians of Algiers, Tunis, or Tripoli.
The new buildings in Wall-street, for the "Bank of New-York," and the "Office of Discount and Deposit," exhibit a very pleasing improvement in that conspicuous situation. The rubbish being now cleared away they appear to great advantage. The external ornaments of the buildings, though plain, are extremely beautiful. That no position more eligible could have been chosen, is evident for various reasons—and the secure manner in which they are built, will afford much safety to the property deposited in them. We are told they are soon to be occupied AS BANKS.
We announce the opening of the new State Prison. The prisoners to the number of 70, were removed thither last Tuesday night. The Governor has issued his proclamation, directing all Sheriffs to convey criminals to the same.
BOSTON, November 27.
The capt. of the Gov. Carver, spoke on St. Georges Banks, as mentioned under our marine head, informed, that he left Bourdeaux the 11th inst. at which time it was publicly notified that Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall had arrived in Paris; but that it was not there known, whether Mr. Gerry, had joined them or not; that the merchants of Bourdeaux, were apprehensive of their not being received with much cordiality, judging their invitation to Paris to have been a measure of the former Directory.
Capt. Stinson, from the Straights informs, that Earl St. Vincents still retained his position off Cadiz.
Between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, this morning, a fire broke out in the building, occupied by Messrs Broaders and Wizzle, in Ann-street, which consumed the same, together with the adjoining dwelling houses to the creek tenanted by Messrs Hager and Hoofman. The uncommon spirit and alacrity of the citizens prevented its further spread. A Mr. Hall, who lodged at Mr. Wizzle's, it is feared, fell a victim to the flames.
MURDER.
DOVER, NOV. 20.
On Saturday last, a Murder was committed by capt. Jeremiah Pote of Falmouth, on the body of his wife. The following circumstances are reported to have attended the transaction; coming home in the evening, he found a certain Doctor had called in at his house; his wife mentioned to the Doctor its being very dark and rainy, and invited him to tarry till morning—her husband replied, that no one should tarry in his house that night but himself; the Doctor then went off—soon after he took the shovel from the hearth, and laid it on his shoulder, walking the room; his wife recollecting what he had said, was alarmed; asked him what he meant, hoped he was not going to do her injury, and took hold of his arm; he immediately struck her with the shovel, on the head, and repeated the blows till she expired. The small children gave an alarm; when the neighbours arrived, he was sitting by the fire—said he had killed his wife, and must be hanged; he was immediately taken and committed to Portland goal.
No defect of his reason had been observed, nor any cause known for this horrid act, unless it was done in a paroxysm of jealousy. On Sunday a jury of inquest was had on her body who, after hearing the evidence, bro't in their verdict, "That Jeremiah Pote, her husband, on the evening of the 11th inst. four or five blows upon the head and neck of his said wife, did strike, by means whereof she in a few minutes died; and that he, of his malice aforethought, did murder and kill her." Monday last he was committed to goal in this town, to take his trial at the supreme judicial court to be held here in June next—Capt. Pote, and his wife have both very respectable connections in the town of Falmouth, who by this melancholy event, are brought into the depths of sorrow and distress.

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4.
A Baltimore Stage, which arrived here yesterday left that city on Saturday morning. A Gentleman who came passenger informs that signals were displayed at the observatory when he came away for six sloops and Schooners, four or five brigs and three ships. Our latest papers from Baltimore are of Thursday last.
Mr. SPRAGUE is elected a Federal Representative for New-Hampshire.
A letter from Waterford, contains the following melancholy account:—Thursday morning the following accident happened at Newton-Strand: Two fine young women (Miss Murphy and Miss Power) in company with several other females, bathing in the river at the above place, had ventured rather too far, when the tide being on the turn going out, they were carried beyond their depth: the cries of the other females alarmed a small boy who was near the place. He hastened to the spot, and seeing their melancholy situation, immediately plunged to their assistance; but, we are sorry to state, his humane endeavours proved fruitless, as Miss Murphy sunk before he could reach her: he, however, was enabled to convey Miss Power to the shore, where she remained nearly half an hour without any visible signs of life; she then began to show some symptoms of returning animation, and in a short time was so far recovered as to be able to speak; her first enquiry was about her ill-fated companion, and being informed that she was safe, she seemed perfectly at ease. A sedan chair was then provided, in which she was conveyed home and put to bed, where she continued very easy till about three o'clock, when she made another inquiry after her companion: the person who attended her was so far as to inform her of her lamentable fate, from which moment she appeared bereft of sense; shortly after she was seized with strong convulsions, and about five o'clock expired. Lon. pap.
From a London Paper. Last week a wedding was solemnized at a village near Stamford, which was attended by some singular circumstances:—A young man having paid his addresses to a female in the neighbourhood (for at least nine months,) it became requisite he should marry her. He accordingly summoned his friends and relatives to be present at the consummation; this being done, it was necessary to send for another attendant, and he no less a person than the accoucheur . Agreeable to the notice, friends, relatives, and Doctor attended; The lady being something easier, it was agreed they should proceed to Church, which was only across the way, and that the doctor should attend them as it was not certain whose services might be first wanted; but for decency the Doctor was stationed in the porch of the church until the ceremony was over. One of the attendants, brother to the bridegroom, during the service, great anxiety, observing, that if the parson was not quick, the child would be a bastard. There was no necessity for such great haste, as the lady was not delivered of a fine boy until early the next morning.
A new way of reckoning.—A sailor married a woman, laid with her the first night, went to sea the next day, and returned in three months, when he found her brought to bed of a boy. Jack stormed, and called his wife a w—; but the nurse abused him in her turn for a tea-looby, that he did not know how to reckon for a woman on shore, who counts by day and night. Well, says Jack, but that makes but six months, and she ought to be mine. You fool, replied the matron, you have forgot the three months you were at sea; only recollect that three months by day, and three at night, and three at sea, make nine months, and you'll find your wife an honest woman. Jack could not follow this calculation and was obliged to knock under, and allow it to be all right.
MEMOIRS OF CITIZEN BARTHELEMY, Latey chosen Member of the Directory, in France. M. Barthelémy, is the nephew of the Abbe, of the same name, who acquired such deserved celebrity by his learned labors, particularly his "Voyage de jeune Anacharsis." The uncle was patronized by M. Choiseul, the prime minister of France, whom he had accompanied while Comte de Stainville, in his embassy into Italy. After their return, young Barthelémy was placed in one of the public offices at Versailles, and became initiated at an early period of life into the foreign correspondence of the then ministry.
His protector was a nobleman, who united very dissimilar and apparently incompatible pursuits in his own person. An accomplished courtier, he cultivated a taste for the fine arts, intrigued in all the cabinets of Europe, and was greatly attached to literature and learned men. To him has been attributed two of the most remarkable and portentous events of our time, the family compact with Spain, and the union of the houses of Austria and Bourbon by the marriage of Marie Antoinette with Louis XVI. No sooner had Barthelémy attained the age of manhood, than his powerful interests procured him a foreign mission. He accordingly accompanied the Baron de Breteuil to Switzerland, and resided with him some time at Soleure. Thence he repaired with the same minister to Sweden, witnessed, and, if I mistake not, assisted in that memorable revolution, the event of which has demonstrated how easy it is for a king, aided
by a standing army, a paristical nobility, and a few soldiers of fortune, to overturn the liberties of a nation.
When count d'Adelmar was sent ambassador to this country, he was accompanied by the present director; and on his return to Paris, M. Barthelémy, who before was secretary of legation, became minister plenipotentiary. He also resided here for a considerable time, during the embassy of M. de la Luzerne.
In the mean time, a great revolution was insensibly preparing in his native country; and it was his singular good fortune, notwithstanding his declared aversion to it, to be benefited by the event. His family had been protected by the noblesse , and both himself and his uncle had received many marks of attachment from Louis XVI. It was accordingly imagined, that he would have openly joined the emigrants. One of the two things, however, must have occurred: either he became a sincere convert to the principles of the republicans, and acted from a conviction of the goodness of their cause; or, he concealed his sentiments, and, affecting to be the open enemy of the royalists, sacrificed his opinion to his ambition.
It was Switzerland, the school of his juvenile years, that was destined to be the theatre of his glory. There he first opened the diplomatic powers entrusted to him as minister of the new commonwealth; and it is but justice to add, that he conducted himself throughout all the intricacies of his political agency with equal address and success.
When he made his appearance in the political hemisphere, he was treated with contempt, nay even with insult; but such is the magic of success, that fame no sooner began to display her gigantic powers, than he found means first to get himself acknowledged as the minister of the republic, and soon afterwards to enter into advantageous alliances with the very states which had been its bitterest enemies.
M. Barthelémy was elected to the directorate in the most honorable manner. Declining pomp and parade, he repaired to Paris by a different route than that expected, and thus avoided the envy which generally accompanies popularity. On his first interview with his colleagues, he publicly proclaimed himself a friend to peace. He is since said to have been in a minority in the cabinet, as he has sided with Carnot against the other three directors, with whom they have differed on almost every subject.
M. Barthelémy succeeded Letourneur in the director, who went out by lot; the latter has since been employed to conduct the negotiation at Lille.
MALO, and REVEILLERE LEPAUX. The Moniteur has published a letter which contains authentic and circumstantial details of what passed when general Malo lately visited citizen Reveillere, the Director, to complain of his being suspended.
The Director replied to the complaints of Malo with much gentleness and prudence, avoiding every thing which might hurt his feelings, or add to the kind of disgrace he complained of. The Gen. however, supposing that the moderation which was displayed in the Director's conversation, proceeded from fear, suddenly changed his tone. Supporting himself in a menacing air, upon the guard of his sabre, he said, "It is not to such a Triumvirate that I shall surrender my honor and my rank. They will soon not have it in their power to perform any more arbitrary acts. Their reign will not last long."
Citizen Reveillere Lepaux approached him with a firm countenance, and pushed him out into his anti-chamber. "Wretch" said he "because I have spoken to you with mildness and with the greatest delicacy, do you come to insult me in my own house with arms in your hand? Know, that sabres and epaulets cannot terrify me, and that I entertain no other fear but that of doing evil. Tell those who resemble you, and would overthrow the Republic—inform in particular, your generals—you know whom I mean—that they are not capable of intimidating me. It is not easy to turn aside from his duty the man who fears neither sufferings nor death. As to you I should order you to be immediately arrested for having behaved with insolence to one of the first magistrates of the Republic; I am, however, still inclined to shew you indulgence; but retire immediately, and never set your foot again within my house."
Reveillere Lepaux is generally esteemed to be a man of excellent moral character and a firm republican. The royalist prints of Paris, therefore, have lately been very violent in their abuse of him.
From the ANALYTICAL REVIEW for 1796. ART. LXVII. Strictures on the conduct of the Rev. George Markham, M. A. Vicar of Carlton, in Yorkshire: occasioned by his prosecution of several members of the people called Quakers, for their non-payment of tithes. In a letter to R—W— of H—n member of that society.—By Charles Wilson, 8 vo. 50 pages. Price 1s 6d. Owen. 1792.
THE age of perfection, like the age of chivalry, is, we trust, gone, never to return. Yet it may still be in the power of a bigoted or selfish individual, to render existing laws subservient to his passions or his interest. A charge of this kind is, in the present pamphlet, brought against a clergyman. We do not take upon us to authenticate the charge; but we shall give the heads of the affair from a state of the case, signed by eight persons imprisoned in York castle. According to this statement, about the latter part of 1781, or the beginning of 1782, Mr. Markham procured a summons for some Quakers to appear before the justices at the quarter sessions at Skipton, to show cause why they did not comply with his demands for small tithes: they obeyed the summons; the justices deemed the vicar's claim unreasonable, but told him, that if he would make reasonable demands, they would grant him a warrant to obtain them: this he declined; and, after four years, commenced a suit in the court of exchequer against six persons, only one of whom was a Quaker. While this suit was pending, in 1789, he obtained process out of the same court against ten persons of the persuasion called Quakers. The defendants stated their religious scruples against complying with any den of this nature; mentioned the summary, and comparatively easy mode of proceeding provided by acts of parliament; pleaded
that they had at no time resisted the king of goods by legal authority for any such claims; and said, that a small payment had been customary made in lieu of tithes by the tythes-payer. The prosecutor still continued his suit, with considerable delay, till a decree was obtained for the tithes and costs of suit; the latter amounting to 131. 25. After several attempts to persuade the prosecutor to desist, the defendants, having been harassed by the proceedings, about six years, were by attachment taken into custody, and committed to the county gaol in York, where they still remain in confinement. Most of the prisoners are in low circumstances, and all of them dependent on their industry for support. It is said to have since appeared, that about a year before the imprisonment took place, the Rev. G. M. had received of the landlords of 4-veral of the prisoners a compensation for his demands.
The author of these strictures, on the ground of the proceeding being arbitrary, with freedom on the liberty of that counsel, which could treat as criminals, and refuse with unrelenting rigor, any members of a profession, the principles of which are adverse to hatred and persecution.
The peaceable and orderly behavior of the Quakers certainly entitles them to complete protection from the state, without any consideration of the ground of their religious scruples, and if it has been in the power of any unfeeling individual to harass any of their fraternity in the manner described in this pamphlet, the laws respecting religion are in a very defective state, and require an immediate and thorough revision. It is much to be regretted, that the late reasonable petition of the Quakers to the legislature was rejected.

FROM THE DUBLIN COURANT. Dalkey Gazette Extraordinary!
August 23, 1797.
It having been generally reported that his excellency, Earl Camden, intended honoring the anniversary with his presence, the KING OF DALKEY ordered that the prime minister should be prepared with a suitable extempore speech, and gave orders that a table should be prepared for his excellency and suite's reception; and that a hamper with the choicest viands and the most exquisite wines, (bought from Kelly and Cooper, of Ship-Street) consisting of Hock, Madeira, Port, Claret, and Champaigne, should be prepared. The speech, which the prime minister instantly wrote, was approved of, and would have been delivered had the weather induced his excellency to put his gracious intentions into execution.
"May it please your Excellency, I am commanded by the KING of DALKEY to express the high sense his majesty entertains of the honour conferred on him and his Kingdom, by your Excellency's presence this day. The subjects of Dalkey have been inattentive observers of what passed in the neighbouring kingdoms; and they remember with gratitude the eminent services which your illustrious father rendered to the empire. His large contribution to the stock of PUBLIC LIBERTY endears the name of CAMBDEN to the people of Dalkey.

IMPRISONED LOYALTY
[This excellent old song is preferred in David Lloyd's "Memoirs of those that suffered in the cause of Charles I." He speaks of it, as the composition of a worthy personage, no sufferer deeply in those times, and was still living, with no other reward than the confidence of having suffered. The author's name he has not mentioned; but if tradition may be credited, this song was written by Sir R. L'ESTRANGE.]
BEAT on, proud Billows; Boreas, blow; Swell, curled waves, high as Jove's roof; Your incivility doth show That innocence is tempest proof; Though surly Nereus frown, my thoughts are calm; Then strike, Affliction, for thy words are balm. That which the world miscalls a jail, A private closet is to me; Whilst a good conscience is my bail, And innocence my liberty; Locks, bars, and solitude, together met, Make me no prisoner, but an anchoret. I, whilst I wish'd to be retir'd, Into this private room was turn'd; As if their wisdoms had conspir'd The Glandamier should be burn'd; Or like those sophists, that would drown a sin, I am constrain'd to suffer what I win. The cynick loves his poverty; The pelmick her wildernesse; And 'tis the Indian's pride to be Naked on frozen Caucasus; Contentment cannot smart; Stoics we see Make torments easy to their apathy. These manacles upon my arm I as my mistress' favours wear; And for to keep my ankles warm, I have some iron mackles there; These walls are but my garrison; this cell, Which mens call jail, both prove my citadel. Put in the cabinet lock'd up, Like some high priz'd margarite, Or, like the great Mogul or Pope, An clayter'd up from public fight; Retiredness is a piece of majesty, And thus proud Iultan, I'm as great as thee. Here fin for want of food must starve, Where tempting objects are not seen; And these strong walls do only serve To keep in out, and keep me in; Malice of late's grown charitable sure, I'm not committed, but am kept secure. So he that truck at Jason's life, Thinking t' have made his purpose sure, By a malicious friendly knife Did only wound him to a cure; Malice, I see, wants wit; for what is meant Mischief, oftimes prove favour by the event. When once my prince affliction hath, Prosperity doth treason seem; And to make smooth so rough a path, I can learn patience from him; Now not to suffer shews no royal heart; When kings want ease, subjects must bear a part. What tho' I cannot see my king, Neither in person nor in coin; Yet contemplation is a thing That renders what I have not, mine: My king from me what adamant can part, Whom I do wear engraven on my heart? Have you not seen the nightingale, A prisoner like, coopt in a cage, How doth she chaunt her wonted tale In that her narrow hermitage? Even then her charming melody doth prove That all her bars are trees, her cage a grove. I am that bird, whom they combine Thus to deprive of liberty; But tho' they do my corpse confine, Yet, maugre hate, my soul is free; And tho' immur'd yet can I chip and sing Disgrace to rebels, glory to my king. My soul is free as ambient air, Although my baser part's immur'd, Whilst loyal thoughts do still repair T' accompany my solitude; Although rebellion to my body bind, My king alone can captivate my mind.

The Norfolk Mail STAGE. THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Satur- day, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow- Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 30 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.

PEALE'S MUSEUM. THIS valuable repository of the works of Na- ture, so well calculated to delight the mind and enlarge the understanding, is opened daily, as usual. It is in an airy and healthy situation, and free from the epidemic that at present afflicts the city; it may, therefore, be frequented with the greatest safety. As an Assemblage, the study of Nature is the most rational and pleasing; as a Science, the most sublime and instructive. It elevates the mind and expands the heart. They "Whose Nature's works can charm, with God himself Hold converse."
Many interesting additions have lately been made to this Museum; and the feathered tribe, containing a variety of the most rare and beautiful subjects, are now very advantageously arranged. Waxen Figures, of Men large as life (some of them calfs from nature) are here dressed in their proper habits, and placed in attitudes characteristic of their respective nations. Here may be seen the North- American Savage, and the Savage of South Ameri- ca—a laboring Chief, and the Chinese Gentle- man—the forty African, and the Kamtschatdale— with some Natives of the South Sea Islands. The immense variety and interesting diversity which this Museum offers to the view, may be seen but cannot be described with full effect. Price only 1-4th of a dollar. Oct. 28. iaw
