Stoughton's Bitters. During the present sickly season, the use of STOUGHTON'S BITTERS, (imported from London) will be found of great service, as preventive to disease, especially where there is an infectious atmosphere and a predisposition in the habit to contagion. It eminently braces the constitution, and renovates the whole system. It may be used instead of spirits in water, tea, or other drink. It restores lost appetite, expels worms in children, and, if regularly used during the fall season, will prevent the ague and fever. In short, it only needs to be tried, to convince every one of its great efficacy. These Bitters may be had, with copious directions, (prepared at the original warehouse in London) in quart bottles at one fourth of the former charge for the same in vials, at S. Snowden's Printing Office, Alexandria, where a bottle is constantly kept open for trial. Also, at A. BUCK's, Frederickburg. Oct. 3. eo

From the Anti-Democrat.  POOR MARY. Lo! where yon yew tree spreads its dark'ning shade, Where creeping ivy casts a dismal gloom, Where nigh, birds' notes reverberate through the glade, Cleander mourns o'er Mary's mould'ring tomb. With friendship's tear the hallow'd shrine be-dew'd, Where youth and beauty in oblivion rest, With vernal flow'rs the sod grown tomb he-strew'd, Then thus express'd the sorrows of his breast: "Stranger, whoe'er thou art, in pity pause, And if sad memory e'er claim'd a tear, If thou e'er wept in sinking virtues cause, Come join with me, and pay the tribute here." "Here in the clay cold lap of earth, unknown, Poor Mary sleeps—beyond the pale of fame, Her grave's sole ornament—a rough hewn stone, Her birth obscure, and uninscrib'd her name." "Mary! the blythe, the beauteous rustic queen, Mary! the echo of the woodland lawn, Gay as the lambkin bounding o'er the green, Sweet as the sky lark ush'ring in the dawn." "But now she sleeps within her narrow grave, Screen'd from the cank'ring breath of vulgar scorn, Calm as the surface of th' unruffl'd deep, She obey'd the mandate in life's blooming morn."
"Near to this spot once dwelt a lab'ring swain, The happy tenant of a lowly cot, By av'rice unenrich'd, unbrib'd by gain, Contentment's blessings were his humble lot." "He had a son his age's only joy, In whom concentrated all a parent's care, While Damon doated on the blooming boy, Poor Mary's breast was tortur'd with despair." "For Mary lov'd him—to distraction lov'd, And in her heart the deadly passions rage: Maternal influence ne'er love's pangs remov'd, Lorenzo only could those pangs assuage."
"Lorenzo, form'd in nature's fairest mould, The stateliest shepherd of the neigh'b'ring plain, What female could the noble youth behold, And not experience lov's soft thrilling pain." "For Mary too Lorenzo often sigh'd Oft on her bosom breath'd his ardent love, Where'er she mov'd he linger'd at her side, And seem'd the image of the faithful dove." "Oft when pale Cynthia, feeble queen of night, Cast her bright mantle o'er the leafy grove, Where yon wove twigs admit a glimm'ring light, Has Mary listen'd to Lorenzo's love."
"There far secluded from man's prying eye, In mutual love the winged moments pass'd She to love's Syren voice return'd the sigh, And each new hour seem'd fleeter than the last."
"Thus they the silent hours of night beguil'd, Thus pass'd each ev'ning of declining day, Thus smooth the path of nature's favorite child, Without a thorn to intercept her way."
"O simple maid, to thy ill fortune blind, Thou fair inhabitant of yonder gloom, Far was the thought from thy too simple mind, That thou'dst soon wither in the icy tomb."
"One ev'n, at setting sun's diurnal hour, In tip toe haste she hied to meet her love, With fault'ring step she reach'd the conscious bow'r, Which modest shrinks in yonder poplar grove."
"Lorenzo came—a melancholy gloom O'er spread his countenance; the little wood, Still as the death like silence of the tomb, Save the low gurgling of a little flood."
"Save where the cypress adds a deeper shade, Where wanton zephyrs play among the trees, Where wispy'ring leaves the list'ning ear invade, And trembling aspens murmur to the breeze."
"With transport Mary clasp'd him to her heart, With equal ardor was her love return'd, He sooth'd her tremors with a tender art, Yet inward with ignoble passions burn'd."
"With seeming sorrow and unmanly wile, (Veiling the secret purpose of his breast,) In artful phrase her scruples to beguile, He thus the mockery of love express'd:"
"O Mary, charming empress of my heart, With anguish this sad moment I deplore, This very hour 'tis destin'd we must part, Part, my dear girl, perhaps to meet no more."
"When far from thee, fond mem'ry oft will dwell On former moments of unequal'd bliss,
When no prophetic spirit durst foretell, An hour so full of misery as this."
"Since envious fate now robs me of thy charms, Let me but gaze upon that heavenly face, Feel the soft pressure of those snowy arms, And glut with rapture this one last embrace."
"The willing maid, inveigled in the snare, Yielded, unconscious, to love's flat'ring sway, The villain press'd upon th' unguarded fair, And savage like, resistless, seiz'd his prey."
"Her tears, (which would have touch'd a murd'rer's breast) Her spotless innocence, augment the plain, Increas'd distress but cause an idol jest, Angelic virtue did but plead in vain."
"See'st thou yon lily drooping on the plain, Torn by the ruthless current of the wind? So fell the fairest of the village train, The brightest ornament of woman kind."
"Grief sapp'd the springs of life, she bow'd her head, Health's livid glow forsook her tott'ring frame, She now lies numbe'd with the virtuous dead, Obscure her birth, her virtues, and her name."
"Thus by the demon of unbounded lust, In carnal bloom, in life's unchequer'd morn, A fairer flow'r now moulders in the dust, Than did the bed of Nature e'er adorn." M.
FROM THE ALBANY CENTINEL.
A correct and faithful Picture of the Times.
THE most popular complaint against the Federal administrations, was, that of squandering the "people's money," and, consequently, imposing unnecessary taxes to support the extravagance. Indeed, these are common place subjects, with all disorganizers ; and they are well chosen. When the populace in any government, and particularly in a republican one, are to be wrought into a revolutionary frenzy, something must be hit upon that will come home to their understandings; something which they can feel and see. Teder this head may be ranked primarily, the levying and collecting taxes.—When the honest peasant, unread in political science, is called upon by the tax gatherer for a part of his hard earned savings, he gives it with an air of mysterious reluctance, the effect of a kind of hereditary confidence in his rulers, mingled with jealousy as to the object of its appropriation.—But tell him that his rulers are unprincipled knaves; that they have combined to enslave him and his household; that they are taking the bread from the mouth of labor, and the last cent from the pocket of the poor husbandman, to squander in luxuries, and lavish on wicked favorites and minions; tell him these public servants, the men chosen to manage the concerns of the nation, are rioting in riches and extravagance at the people's expence, and rendering no benefits in return. In short, tell him, in plain language of jacobin impudence, that taxes are unnecessary to the public good; that they are levied and collected for the express purpose of multiplying officers, and providing subsistence for "state pensioners," "state vultures," "pensioned judges," "sycophant office hunters," &c. &c. tell him these things, and he is ripe for revolution; already is his foot on the threshold of insurrection.
The truth is, money is the great idol of mankind in general, and conveys to the weakest understanding and the most illiterate mind, precise and comprehensive ideas; and in proportion to possession or destitution, are their notions of good and evil, of right and wrong. Hence we see this overturning lever always resorted to by discontented and designing men. And hence in all ages we shall find this very subject of taxation and expenditures, the flint and steel by which the demagogues of faction have kindled those revolutionary fires which have destroyed the peace and prosperity of empires and states. Precisely the same has been the conduct of our democrats, except that they have improved upon the examples of former times. Yes, Fellow-Citizens, it must still be in the recollection of you all, that by their incessant clamours, and abuses against federal men and federal measures, the democrats have succeeded in their unhallowed purposes. We say unhallowed purposes —for their conduct since they have been in power is demonstration. Are they not indebted for success to their own faithless representations of their adversaries? And we would ask, where have they corrected the procedure that the "people" are benefited, or the poor relieved? We have indeed, as we have formerly acknowledged, seen their handy work exemplified in the repeal of the taxes on coaches, whiskey, loaf sugar, and green teas, &c. &c. and some others equally unimportant to the poor and middling classes of our citizens. And even with this trifling correction , in order to raise funds, to keep up the appearance of consistency, we have seen these democratic economists, in the short space of two years, wantonly sacrifice of the public property, a sum it is believed, much greater than all the taxes they have remitted, would have produced in the same time. We refer to the auction sales, of our navy and naval stores, and the still more wanton sacrifice of our bank stock, on which the purchasers have cleared nearly Two Hundred Thousand —a sum, which, had it not been given to foreign speculators , might have been distributed amongst the indigent yeomanry of our country
for the education of their children, or to enable them to pay the heavy duties on their salt, molasses, bohea tea, &c. &c. But this would not do. The democrats had so long chanted this song of heavy taxes, that they could do no less than look off a few to keep countenance with the hoodwinked of their own party. Their boasted professions and promises to pay our public debt, at the same time they should relinquish the taxes, also required some bluffing to cover the dark deception of their former conduct. To enable them to do this, these sacrifices were made—an expedient which would have subjected any private man to the imputation of a swindling bankrupt .
Fellow Citizen!—Can you look upon these things, and not be moved with resentment for the base impositions which have been practised upon you? Never was a fairer opportunity afforded for successful experiment , than what the present ruling party have enjoyed. They came into the government at the moment when their predecessors had rendered it almost a perfect system. A threatened war had rendered us formidable on the ocean, fortified our harbours, filled our arsenals, and organized a small band of veterans to command respect. The return of peace had settled our foreign relations, and restored to us the trade and friendship of the whole world; it had left us firm and united in the energies of remembered wrongs—our Treasury prepared for contingencies, and the streams by which it was supplied ample, permanent, and just. But sad and shameful reversal! Two years have completely dismantled us. We are again threatened with foreign troubles, and our navy is sold for a song. Our Treasury is impoverished by secret appropriations of immense sums for philosophical speculations; and the sources from which it was watered, as with timely showers, are—laid up in a Dry Dock. Indeed, our late admirable system of finance is disordered in all its parts; and under the mild reign of "Jefferson and Liberty," a system of "political intolerance," has been avowed and practised which has spread discord, enmity and strife throughout all ranks of the community.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, August 26.
From the Mercure, a paper half official, we have translated a very curious article, which seems to throw light on the state of affairs. It is there said that Russia and Prussia are clothed with powers to mediate. This we knew before. Lord Hawkesbury stated in Parliament, he would solicit such a mediation, and Bonaparte uniformly desired it. Will it be successful? Very little hope of success are entertained in this country. But we are pleased to see by the article from the Mercure, that after all the rant and declamation by the French government against this country, it now finds it necessary to defend itself against the representation of Britain. We perceive our cause is understood and felt on the Continent, and that France is convinced of the necessity of justifying herself. She, not England, is put upon her defence. She feels the evils, and consequent irritation of the Continent, which her blockade of the North of Europe occasions: and she endeavors to reconcile the suffering states to her conduct. A year ago, England had no connection with the Continent but the treaty of Amiens: now she is invited to become a party to the compact among civilized nations. France denies the design of extending her Empire, unless indeed security should require it. Security, we are told, made her seize Switzerland, Holland, &c. and would make her seize England if she could. If we allow her to take whatever countries for security's sake—we fear the Chief Consul would not stop at the walls of China. But the defence made in the article shews France feels the necessity of apologising for her conduct; and hence, we may entertain some hopes that she will reform it.
It is stated in the accounts from the Hague, dated the 16th, that the ratifications of the convention concluded on the 25th Junolast, between the French, Batavian and Italian Republics, relative to the military operations against England, and the part which the latter Powers are to take in the war, were executed at Brussels on the 24th ult.
A letter from Brussels, dated Aug. 17, says:—
"It is generally expected here, that when the Chief Consul pays a visit in the autumn to the departments on the left bank of the Rhine and views the sea coasts, as well as the troops destined to compose the grand army, he will take up his residence in this city, that he may be on the spot, to direct in person the military preparations making against England."
Several of the Hanoverian officers are said to have entered into the Russian service.
General Ney has presented to the Helvetic Diet, a new project, of a definitive alliance, with changes & modifications, which cannot fail, say the Paris journals, to make it be received more favorably than the former. On the head of subsidies, eight thouz

and men are required instead of twelve, as formerly proposed.
The menace of invasion is still kept up, but we think the tone used upon the subject is not quite so cheery as it was. General Angereau, it is said, is to command an encampment of 50,000 men upon the Flemish coast, and General Massena another encampment near St. Omer's. General Mortier is also to have a command in the expedition.
Letters from Brann mention, that all the merchants who trade with Turkey are in a state of consternation. A caravan from Germany, after passing Semlin, has been pillaged near Constantinople, when it was thought to be in perfect safety. Another on its route for Germany, with Turkish and Greek merchandise, has been also pillaged near Orsowa, on the point of entering the Austrian Territory. The leaders of the Janissaries at Belgrade are reinforcing the number of their partisans. Instead of from fifty to sixty, each of them has now more than two hundred followers. They collect provisions in proportion. These measures are attributed to a report, that the son of the Pacha whom they assassinated, has married a Sultana at Constantinople, that Belgrade is assigned her in dowry, and he is consequently preparing to take possession of it. That city is a prey to every alarm.
It is whimsical that the day chosen by Bonaparte for his assuming the Consulate for life should be the feast of assumption .
Extract from Le Mercure de France.
It is at length certain, that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia are formally invested with the rank of Mediators. In the actual state of the war, and after the turn which it has taken, the interference of these powers was unavoidable. Whatever may be said of the appearance of a French army in the extremity of the North of Germany, it cannot but be productive of inconvenience. But the shutting up of the Elbe and the Weser and almost all the pretended claims of England, are still more inconvenient. It is curious to read the late notification made by Lord Hawkesbury to all the neutral powers.—His majesty has lately received intelligence that a part of the Banks of the Weser having been taken possession of by the French troops, the navigation is no longer free to his Majesty's vessels, or those of his subjects, whereby the neutrality of that river has been violated. His majesty has in consequence, tho' it proper to direct that the mouth of that river should be closely blocked." It is afterwards stated, that His Majesty will be ready to withdraw the blockade as soon as his ships can sail up the river in security, in the same manner as those of other nations.
Such is the right set up by England respecting a blockade; it forms a part of the extraordinary maritime code of that nation. It will not allow other nations the right of marching but when it marches itself, nor of doing but what it does. Should its enemy have possession of any part whatever of the banks of the river, in as much as its navigation is in that case restricted, all the powers of inferior or superior territories must be shut out from it. Not an individual in Europe has the right of returning to his own country, unless England be at the same time allowed that of accompanying him thither. They talk of limitations made by the English government, in its acceptance of the mediation of Russia; we know not whether this doctrine, and these pretended rights, form any part of them.
When a people thus abandons every principal of right recognized amongst nations, it only remains for it to separate itself from them also. There are already four Barbary Regencies. A fifth may, at pleasure, be added to them; and the nations of Europe would even do well to pay it a tribute for permission to navigate their rivers, and the seas. These are not pretensions arising solely from vanity and pride: in that case they might be overlooked and suffered to pass without adjusting or disputing them. The Mediating Powers have already avoided all these questions in their last pacification with England. They may again avoid them. But, unfortunately, there is one thing which they cannot avoid, and that is, not to have it in their power to continue at peace from the moment that England shall go to war. England cannot, in fact, enter into any contest without instantly reviving its pretended right of blockade, that of searching ships of war, of carrying them into her ports, and, in a word, the right of destroying, from the bare circumstance of its being at war with one nation, the navigation of all others.
The commerce of Europe is now so accustomed to this order of things, that the first sound of a cannon discharged by Eng-
land, becomes the signal for the interruption of every kind of maritime enterprise. What trader for instance, of common sense, would, in such case, hazard on the seas his vessels and property, which the first English privateer has authority to capture, which are carried into British ports, with the certainty of being lost, at least to the owners; tho', after numberless vexations, it should not be thought right to adjudge them to the captors?—The English Admiralty Courts are well aware, that by authorizing these inquiries, the result must be, that no commerce will be carried on by sea in English vessels. War, the source of all other nations, thus becomes a source of riches and prosperity for England alone.
Europe cannot continue long in such a situation. Since it is invested as Mediatress of this contest, the contest must be decided: all powers must unite in putting an end to this shameful practice; England must again become a party to the common pact of civilized nations; she must renounce the habit of imposing her peculiar laws on the whole world, and the pretensions which she has herself created; the present epoch, in fine, must witness the establishment for all of the common right of all. If not, England should forever be confined to her island, excluded from all social relations, and then she would never be heard of more, but by the Mails from India or America.
ROME, July 3.
The following copy of a Convention is in circulation here, said to have been proposed by the Emperor of Russia, for the guaranteeing of Malta:
 ART. 1. There shall be no new Maltese tongue; but the Order shall be re-established in statu quo antebellum , and shall be charged with its internal organization.  2. The rights of the King of the Two Sicilies, as Sovereign of the Isle of Malta, remain insured to him by the treaty of Amiens, as formerly.  3. All the contracting powers acknowledge and insure for the future, the neutrality of the isle of Malta in all the wars that may take place, and shall protect it against all attack.  4. The troops of the King of Naples shall occupy the Isle of Malta until the Order has raised a sufficient garrison. The contracting powers, France and England, shall contribute to its maintenance; but the Grand Master shall immediately enter upon the functions of government.  5. The present articles shall be inserted as a supplement to the treaty of Amiens, and shall have the same effect.  6. The Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Germany, the Kings of Spain, Naples, and Prussia, are particularly invited to guarantee this supplement. 
BOSTON, October 7.
Capt. Clement, of the ship Minerva, from London, has just favored us with papers to August 28, inclusive. The Minerva anchored in the lower harbor last night, 36 days from the Downs and 32 from the land.
The papers do not announce any interesting intelligence, which can be relied on. A report had reached England, that a counter-revolution had been commenced in France by Moreau, and had progressed to the deposing of the Three Consuls, and the publication of an Address to the People enumerating the acts of ambition and cruelty of Bonaparte. This news had some effect on the price of stocks; but came in too circuitous a manner to deserve credit, having been obtained from a Dutch officer, in a boat, off Goree.
There had been no new commotions in Ireland; but for the purpose of better security Martial Law had been proclaimed in the counties of Meath and Kildare.

Shipwreck. —On Friday August 19, the Swedish galliot Freundschaft, captain Kasten, off Beachy Head fell in with the American schooner Montequeller, of Boston, Albert Rettie, master, from Bremen, bound to St. Lucar, laden with linen. The schooner was then keel uppermost having been some time before upset by a violent squall, and two of her crew drowned. The following persons were taken from her bottom a few minutes before she foundered, and were brought into Plymouth, (Engl.) by the Swedish galliot on the 22d August; Albert Rettie, captain, Thomas Ferguson, mate; Samuel Blossom, Frederick Dexter, John C. Behrens, and N. F. Peterson, seamen; and John Suderman, merchant. Had it not been for the Providential appearance of the Freundschaft, the whole of the crew must have perished; for there was but just time to take them from the bottom, before the Montequeller sunk.

COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Doubts have gone abroad respecting the kind of protection, a certificate obtained in America, would afford to a bankrupt on his removal to a foreign country: the following case was in consequence made out, and transmitted to London; it has been lately returned, and together with the opinion of an eminent barrister there, is now published for the information of the trading part of the community.
CASE.
A merchant, resident in one of the principal cities in the United States of America, becomes in the course of an extensive commerce, largely indebted to a mercantile house in London; but through sudden and heavy losses in trade, is reduced to bankruptcy. Conformably to the general law of the United States, he is called upon to discover the whole of his estate and effects whatsoever, and to assign the same over to trustees, for the benefit of his creditors; receiving from them, a certificate or discharge, similar to that granted to bankrupts by the laws of England. The British creditor, by his attorney on the spot, refuses to prove his debt, or come in under the commission in America. It is asked whether the certificate obtained in America, in the city where the trader was domiciliated , duly authenticated by the commissioners, and by the court having jurisdiction in such cases, will not operate as a bar to the demand of the British creditor, in England, and elsewhere?
Answer. —“I am of opinion that the certificate which has been obtained in America will operate as a bar to the demand of the British creditor; especially as it appears he had an opportunity of benefiting with the rest of the creditors.”

French Anity.
A Baltimore democratic paper contains a long and circumstantial account of injuries and insults received by one of our vessels, from a French armed vessel (extracted from the logbook) which concludes in these words: “Thus ends the voyage of the sch'r Maria, from Norfolk, which has taken up almost six months. I have suffered every possible insult from a lawless banditti; been villainously seized, by a French cut-throat and robber; my sch'r plundered, & ransacked, & torn to pieces: have been obliged to furnish provisions for them to eat and destroy at their pleasure: have been obliged to pay the Doctor for attending their sick, which occasioned me to perform 22 days quarantine in St. Croix; and pay the passage of one of their officers from St. Croix to Martinico, and as yet have no redress.”
The French. —How painful, to have to note any acts of “our good allies” that look like rapine! We mentioned in our last the arrival of the sch'r John, Burchmore, from France; but this was a mistake; capt. B. arrived without his vessel, having lost her by running ashore in the Mediterranean. After his shipwreck, proceeding in a coaster for another port with the money he had saved, he was met by a French cruiser, and such were the exigencies of the “Terrible Republic,” that Monsieur took his money from him to be applied to the common cause of Liberty and Equality, and dismissed captain Burchmore empty.
Phila. paper.
Northern Powers. —Bell's Weekly Messenger observes, with respect to those Powers, that their intentions remain in obscurity.—Prussia is in thrall, Russia is cold, and the Emperor pusillanimous. If there were any prospect of the roy-
al standard in France, they would soon emerge from their ambiguity; but unfortunately, the royal cause is too weak to march in front: It might do great things as a second; but, such is the perverse state of Europe, that it cannot be brought forward as a principal.
Peter Porcupine. —A late London paper mentions that WILLIAM CGBBATT had been prosecuted for an assault on Mr. Hexton, the editor of the True Briton. It appears that the latter had published a paragraph, alluding to the former, in which he said he deserved the pillory or gibbet; & continued to repeat that was his opinion, when called upon by Cgbett for satisfaction.—W. C. in his visit to Mr. Heriot for an explanation was accompanied by Mr. Dickens, of Philadelphia.
A democratic paper lately observed, of England, “If she has freedom she has taken care to keep it to herself.” What! Ought she to have undertaken expeditions to have spread her liberty?
COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES AND EAGLES.
Extract of a letter from Lexington, Virginia, dated September 10.
“Yesterday were apprehended in this town, for passing counterfeit notes on the bank of the United States, John Ramsay and Andrew Lattimore Love, both from the county of York, in South-Carolina.—The notes are very well executed, and no material difference can be perceived between the president's name of the genuine and those of the counterfeit. In Simpson, the cashier's name, the letter O is too high, and if strictly examined the initial G is too clumsily formed at the end, as it ends blunt and not carving out like the genuine. The Eagle is imperfect, its head and legs being so faint that they are scarcely visible. They are all dated in 1799, 1800, and 1801; and some of the latest dates are affixed to the smallest numbers. The aggregate of the notes found in their possession, including those they had passed in the neighborhood which were immediately recovered, amounted to 1050 dollars. They are all 10 dollar notes, except two or three, which are of 5 and 20. Five American eagles were likewise found with them, but the fraud may be easily discovered; they are in the first place too light, weighing only about seventeen dollars and an half; and their being somewhat thicker in the middle than the edge, together with the badness of their execution, contribute to convince a person immediately that they are counterfeit; if these are not deemed sufficient proofs, by taking a needle or some other sharp-pointed instrument and scratching the gold on some prominent part of the coin the copper will distinctly appear.
A court will be called on Saturday the 17th instant, for examination of the above mentioned persons.”
PATRONAGE.
By the late celebrated Horace Walpole, Earl of Oxford.
“Patronage of authors is an antiquated fashion, and at present it means nothing. It is still repeated by rote among a few young or ignorant writers, as an echo dies away by degrees into an unmeaning sound. The public fashion is deemed a sufficient recompence: but after the cases you have mentioned I think differently. Nothing, for instance, can be more unjust than that an author, who has professedly written for general taste, and has in consequence derived great emoluments from his works, should have reward, while another, who has confined his toil to mathematics, or other abstruse pursuits, confessedly useful and highly meritorious, but not adapted to much sale, goes wholly unrewarded. This case evinces that a pension is a piece of vain glory in the government, which desires to have it recorded that such and such an eminent writer was pensioned. In France things are very different. Voltaire has no pension; but many a plodding, useful man has. In our national literary societies the members pay an annual sum: in France they receive an annual sum.
“In all things we have the mercantile spirit of monopoly. A few fashionable writers monopolize the public favor: and merit is nothing, if not introduced to notice by the fashionable cabal. Merit is useless—it is interest alone than can push a man forward. By dint of interest, one of my coach horses might become Poet Laureat, and the other Physician to the Household. They might easily appoint deputies as others do every day.”
