As the commencement of the Fifth Volume of the HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, Mr. Gibbon has sketched out the plan of the two last volumes, which, as it is not generally and explanatory, but furnishes the Reader with a complete idea of the information to be derived from this interesting part of the work, we shall insert at length.
HAVE now deduced, says this elegant historian, from Julian to Constantine, from Constantine to Heraclius, the regular series of the Roman Emperors; and faithfully explored the prosperous and adverse fortunes of their reigns. Five centuries of the decline and fall of the Empire have already elapsed; but a period of more than 300 years still separates me from the term of my labors, the taking of Constantinople by the Turks. Should I persevere in the same course, should I observe the same measure, a prolix and tedious thread would be spun through many a volume, nor would the patient reader find an adequate reward of instruction or amusement. At every step, as we sink deeper in the decline and fall of the Eastern Empire, the annals of each succeeding reign would impose a more ungrateful and melancholy task. These annals must continue to repeat a tedious and uniform tale of weakness and misery; the natural connection of causes and events would be broken by frequent and hasty transitions, and a minute accumulation of circumstances must destroy the light and effect of those general pictures, which compose the use and ornament of a remote history. From the time of Heraclius, the Byzantine theatre is contracted and darkened:—The line of Empire, which had been defined by the laws of Justinian, and the arms of Belisarius, recedes on all sides from our views; the Roman name, the proper subject of our enquiries, is reduced to a narrow corner of Europe, to the lonely suburbs of Constantinople; and the fate of the Greek Empire, has been compared to that of the Rhine, which loses itself in the sands, before its waters can mingle with the ocean. The scale of dominion is diminished to our view, by the distance of time and place:—Nor is the loss of external splendor compensated by the nobler gifts of virtue and genius. In the last moments of her decay, Constantinople was doubtless, more opulent and populous, than Athens, at her most flourishing era, when a scanty sum of 6000 talents or 1,200,000, sterling, was possessed by 21,000 male citizens of an adult age. But each of these citizens was a freeman, who dared to assert the liberty of his thoughts, words, and actions; whose person and property were guarded by equal law; and who exercised his independent vote in the government of the Republic. Their numbers seem to be multiplied by the strong and various discriminations of character:—Under the shield of freedom, on the wings of emulation and vanity, each Athenian aspired to the level of the national dignity: from this commanding eminence some chosen spirits soared beyond the reach of a vulgar eye; and the chances of superior merit in a great and populous kingdom, as they are proved by experience, would excite the computation of imaginary millions. The territories of Athens, Sparta, and their allies, do not exceed a moderate province of France, or England: but after the trophies of Salamis and Platea, they expand in our fancy to the gigantic size of Asia, which had been trampled under the feet of the victorious Greeks. But the subjects of the Byzantine Empire, who assume and dishonour the names both of Greeks and Romans, present a dead uniformity of object, vices, which are neither softened by the weakness of humanity, nor animated by the vigour of memorable crimes. The freemen of antiquity might repeat with generous enthusiasm, the sentence of Homer, 'that on the first day of his servitude, the captive is deprived of one half of his manly virtue.'—But the Poet had only seen the effects of civil or domestic slavery, nor could he foretell that the second moiety of manhood must be annihilated by the spiritual despotism, which shackles not only the actions, but even the thoughts of the prostrate votary. By this double-yoke, the Greeks were oppressed under the successors of Heraclius, the tyrant; a law of eternal justice, was degraded by the vices of his subjects; and on the throne, in the camp, in the schools, we search, perhaps with fruitless diligence, the names and characters that may deserve to be rescued from oblivion. Nor are the defects of the subject compensated by the skill and variety of the painter. Of a space of 800 years, the four first centuries are overspread with a cloud, interrupted by some faint and broken rays of historic light: in the lives of the Emperors, from Maurice to Alexius, Basil, the Macedonian, has alone been the theme of a separate work; and the absence, or loss, or imperfection, of contemporary evidence, must be poorly supplied by the doubtful authority of more recent compilers. The four last centuries are exempt from the reproach of penury: and with the Comnenian family, the historic muse of Constantinople again revives, but her apparel is gaudy, her motions are without elegance or grace. A succession of priests or courtiers, treads in each other's footsteps, in the same path of servitude and servility: their views are narrow, their judgment is feeble or corrupt; and we close the volume of copious barrenness, still ignorant of the causes of events, the characters of the actors, and the manners of the times, which they celebrate or deplore. The observation which has been applied to a man, may be extended to a whole people, that the energy of the sword is communicated to the pen; and it will be found by experience, that the tone of history will rise or fall with the spirit of the age. From these considerations, I should have abandoned without regret the Greek slaves, and their servile historians, had I not reflected that the fate of the Byzantine monarchy is passively connected with the most splendid and important revolutions which have changed the state of the world.—The space of the lost provinces was immediately replenished with new colonies, and rising empires: The active virtues of peace and war, deserted from the vanquished to the victorious nations; and it is in their origin and conquests, in the religion and government, that we must explore the causes and effects of the decline and fall of the Eastern Empire. Nor will this scope of narrative, the riches and variety of these materials, be incompatible with the unity of design and composition. As, in his daily prayers, the Mussulman, or Fez or Delhi still turns his face towards the temple of Mecca, the historian's eye shall be always fixed on the city of Constantinople. The excursive line may embrace the wilds of Arabia and Tartary, but the circle will be ultimately reduced to the decreasing limit of the Roman monarchy. On this principle I shall now establish the plan of the two last volumes of the present work. The first chapter will contain, in a regular series, the Emperors who reigned at Constantinople during a period of six hundred years, from the days of Heraclius to the Latin conquest: a rapid abstract, which may be supported by a general appeal to the order and text of the original historians. In this introduction, I shall confine myself to the revolutions of the throne, the succession of families, the personal characters of the Greek Princes, the mode of their life and death, the maxims and influence of their domestic government, and the tendency of
their reign to accelerate or suspend the downfall of the Eastern Empire. Such a chronological review will serve to illustrate the various argument of the subsequent chapters; and each circumstance of the eventual story of the Barbarians will adapt itself in a proper place to the Byzantine annals. The internal state of the Empire, and the dangerous heresy of the Paulicians, which shook the East and enlightened the West, will be the subject of two separate chapters; but these enquiries must be postponed till our farther progress shall have opened the view of the world in the ninth and tenth centuries of the Christian era. After this foundation of Byzantine history, the following nations will pass before our eyes, and each will occupy the space to which it may be entitled by greatness or merit, or the degree of connection with the Roman world and the present age. I. The Franks; a general appellation which includes all the Barbarians of France, Italy and Germany, who were united by the sword and sceptre of Charlemagne. The persecution of images and their votaries, separated Rome and Italy from the Byzantine throne, and prepared the restoration of the Roman Empire in the West. II. The Arabs or Saracens. These Ample chapters will be devoted to this curious and interesting object. In the first, after a picture of the country and its inhabitants, I shall investigate the character of Mahomet; the character, religion, and success of the prophet. In the second I shall lead the Arabs to the conquest of Syria, Egypt, and Africa, the provinces of the Roman Empire; nor can I check their victorious career till they have overturned the monarchies of Persia and Spain. In the third I shall enquire how Constantinople and Europe were saved by the luxury and arts, the division and decay, of the empire of the Caliphs. A single chapter will include, III. The Bulgarians, IV. Hungarians, and, V. Russians, who assaulted by sea or by land the provinces and the capital; but the last of these, so important in their present greatness, will excite some curiosity in their origin and infancy. VI. The Normans; or rather the private adventurers of that warlike people, who founded a powerful kingdom in Apulia and Sicily, shook the throne of Constantinople, displayed the trophies of chivalry, and almost realized the wonders of romance. VII. The Latins; the subjects of the Pope, the nations of the West, who enlisted under the banner of the cross for the recovery or relief of the holy sepulchre. The Greek Emperors were terrified and preserved by the myriads of pilgrims who marched to Jerusalem with Godfrey of Bouillon and the peers of Christendom. The second and third crusades trod in the footsteps of the first: Asia and Europe were mingled in a sacred war of two hundred years; and the Christian powers were bravely resisted, and finally expelled, by Saladin and the Mamlukes of Egypt. In these memorable crusades, a fleet and army of French and Venetians were diverted from Syria to the Thracian Bosphorus: they assaulted the capital, they subverted the Greek monarchy: and a dynasty of Latin Princes was seated near three-score years on the throne of Constantinople. VIII. The Greeks themselves, during this period of captivity and exile, must be considered as a foreign nation; the enemies, and again the sovereigns, of Constantinople. Misfortune had rekindled a spark of national virtue; and the Imperial series may be continued with some dignity from their restoration to the Turkish conquest. IX. The Moguls and Tartars. By the arms of Zingis and his descendants, the globe was shaken from China to Poland and Greece: the sultans were overthrown: the caliphs fell; and the Caesars trembled on their throne. The victories of Tamerlane impended above fifty years the final ruin of the Byzantine Empire. X. I have already noticed the first appearance of the Turks, and the names of the fathers, of Seljuks and Othman , discriminate the two successive dynasties of the nation, which emerged in the 11th century from the Scythian wilderness. The former established a potent and splendid kingdom from the banks of the Oxus to Antioch and Nice; and the first crusade was provoked by the violation of Jerusalem and the danger of Constantinople. From an humble origin, the Ottomans arose, the scourge and terror of Christendom. Constantinople was besieged and taken by Mahomet II. and his triumph annihilates the remnant, the image, the title, of the Roman Empire in the East. The schism of the Greeks will be connected with their last calamities, and the restoration of learning in the Western world. I shall return from the captivity of the new, to the ruins of ancient Rome: and the venerable name, the interesting theme, will shed a ray of glory on the conclusion of my labors."

The question at issue between this state and the Emperor, is just determined, and in this manner: The republic have granted the liberty required: The emperor's troops have their passage thro' the Venetian limits in Dalmatia. On the other side, the Turks have a grant of the same liberty. The state have issued a general order, the most peremptory, through their army, in no instance to swerve from the most strict neutrality.

July 10. The ambassadors of Tippoo Saib, are to have their audience of the king at Versailles. The civilities M. de Sufrien received are now to be returned.
The promised establishment as an additional to the invalids, (the Chelsea hospital in France) providing for 5 daughters of decayed officers, originates with the queen—the idea is certainly good—the execution of it will be better!
The constitution of France may at length look for some sort of crisis.
The remonstrances of the parliaments are to be answered.
Si veut le Roi.
A circular summons is sent to every president (Premier & le Second) of every parliament, convening them to Versailles.
The 4th of August is the appointed day—a day, it is needless to add, as important as it can be, from the united opinions and affections of a whole nation, admirably eager for their rights—considering how little they understand them.
Tippoo Saib's ambassadors—an object fit to interest a country that is enlightened, have quitted Toulon, have left Marseilles, have left Lyons and the day before yesterday, were expected at Versailles.

Extract of a letter from Richmond, (Virginia) dated Sept. 5, 1788.
"You doubtless have heard of the fate of the new constitution in the state of North-Carolina, but we do not now consider their rejection of any great consequence. I have it from a friend who has lately been travelling a good deal through that state, who may be depended upon, that they are repenting of what they have done, and begin to dread the consequences of being left out of the union. The members chosen for their new assembly, that meets early in October, are said to be nearly all federal, and it is expected, as soon as they meet, a new convention will be called."

To be Sold at Private Sale, A Quantity of Salt Meadow, lying near Mina- skunk Landing, upon both sides of the creek and within a half a mile of the bay. The creek is advantageously situated for erecting a tide mill on it, which, upon account of the many conveniences attending it, may be one of the best stands for a tide mill in this part of the state. Vessels of forty tons may come up to the mill-tail, and also lies within a mile of another landing place, where flour may be transported to New-York almost all parts of the winter. In the creek is a very fine oyster bed, which annually affords a considerable quanti- ty of oysters—and its vicinity to the bay renders it still more valuable, from the advantage of hav- ing fish, oysters and clams, almost all seasons of the year.—In short, the facility with which a mill may be erected there, the advantage of water carriage, and its vicinity to New-York, are con- veniences to be found but in few places; and the subscriber ventures to assert, will answer the most sanguine expectation of any person that may be in- clined to erect a mill there. Also, will be sold along with it, a quantity of good Upland, joining the Meadow, upon the West side of the creek, conve- niently situated for erecting a house upon it.— The Meadows on the East side of the creek, will be sold in lots, or in such quantities as may best suit the purchaser. ALSO, will be Sold—A quantity of Woodland, containing two hundred acres, in such quantities as may best suit the purchaser. The land lies ad- joining a lively stream of water, where a mill may be easily erected, and is within one mile and an half of a good landing, very convenient for sending wood to New-York. The soil is naturally good, and some of it affords excellent clay for making bricks, which may become a valuable commodity on ac- count of its vicinity to market. For terms of sale, apply to the subscriber, living in the city of New- York, who will give an indisputable title to the pur- chaser. THOMAS KEARNY. Middletown, Sept. 13.
