Messrs. Editors,
WHEN, in your last, the author of THE RESTORATOR cautions his female readers against the pernicious doctrines of what has been called, (though, I think with no great propriety) the new school, he deserves the thanks of the sex, and of every friend to virtue. When, also, he proceeds to point out the domestic relations as the proper sphere of female duty, his positions, generally considered, must, undoubtedly, be pronounced correct. Respecting the truth of some sentiments advanced in this essay, I cannot but hesitate; and from a few I totally dissent.
Whether the two sexes be equal in strength of mental talents, is a question, so much canvassed in conversation and writing, both seriously and sportively, that there are probably few who have not made up their minds upon the subject. I am decidedly of opinion that a perfect equality subsists. I cannot doubt, that the female mind in the same circumstances, with the same cultivation, and equal motives for exertion, is capable of making equal improvement in every species of human knowledge. To enter here upon the proof of this, would be too tedious; but whoever denies it, has, I think, all history and experience against him.
To pluck a leaf from the lawrels of Milton, is almost to diminish the dignity of human nature. Yet, I fear, this great man, this glory of his species, has unconsciously contributed to injure the female character, by dwelling too much upon the graces of person and behavior, and too little upon the solid virtues of the mind. So perfectly lovely, so rapturously enchanting is the poet's "accomplished Eve," that we are unwilling to believe her imperfect, and delight to consecrate, by the approbation of our judgment, this beautiful idol of the imagination. Yet, if Milton, that stern and lofty republican, has diligently preserved the superiority of his own sex in authority, he does not undervalue the female understanding. He entertained no opinion, that it was unequal to the contemplation or attainment of the sublimest knowledge. When Eve, perceiving her husband
Entering on studious thoughts abstruse,
Rose and went forth among her fruits and flowers.
The poet carefully reminds us, Yet went she not, as not with such discourse Delighted, or not capable her ear Of what was high.
And in his sonnet "To a virtuous young lady," he applauds, with high approbation, her researches into the most recondite truth.
Lady, that in the prime of earliest youth, Wisely hath found the broad way and the green,
And with those few art eminently seen,
I that labor up the hill of heavenly truth. That the "affectation of learning is the utmost any woman can reasonably hope to arrive at," is a sentiment much too censorious, and indeed totally untrue. In every age of modern history, female writers have improved and delighted society, by productions both elegant and useful — Erasmus commends the extensive classical erudition of the three celebrated daughters of Sir Thomas More; and from his time to that of the Mores and Barbauts of our day, very numerous and respectable have been the production of the female pen.
The charms of the ladies are such delightful things, that he must be a brute indeed, who has a wish to deprive them of a single grace. But I cannot entertain the idea, that a beautiful person can be rendered less pleasing by becoming the habitation of a correct and well informed mind. If to the vivacity and elegance, the delicacy and softness, so natural to the female sex, be added that soundness of understanding which is produced only by a liberal education, and cherished only by habitual cultivation and inquiry, they will certainly become greater proficients in the art of pleasing. The pretty foolish flutterer of a ball-room, may please for an hour, but a lasting attachment can be inspired only by good sense and consistency of character.
It has been a thousand times repeated, but as often forgotten, that learning is no further valuable, than as it improves the mind, and enables us to discharge, with propriety, the duties of our respective stations. If it inspire affectation and vanity among the female sex, or pride or haughtiness among the men, it becomes in both equally disgusting and contemptible. But
when accompanied by "meekness and lowliness of mind," by that benevolent and amiable disposition, which it is its natural tendency to cherish, the possession of it in both sexes, strengthens the principles and elevates the character. Let ridicule then be directed against the abuses of learning, against the fluttering vanity, the frothy affectation, the cold and insensible pedantry, the intolerable pride of knowledge. Let the sharpest arrows of satire be directed against that mistress of a family, who, in her hurry to regulate the government of the nation, neglects "to guide the house;" against the wife, who eager to obtain over her spouse a superiority of wit and knowledge, lays aside "the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit;" against the mother, who, engaged in poetry and criticism, allows her offspring to grow up, untaught and untamed as the "wild asses colt."
Many a young lady, in the higher walks of life especially, has much time remaining, when the domestic duties are fulfilled, and the arts and knowledge peculiar to the sex acquired. In this situation, great is the danger of her falling, on the one hand, into sluggish indolence, on the other, into frivolous dissipation. She may then, with propriety, be ambitious of acquiring useful knowledge. Let her spiritedly resolve to become mistress of her own language, so as to write and speak it with purity and elegance; to gain an extensive acquaintance with the evidences and precepts of religion; to learn accurately the history of her own country, at least; and such other branches of knowledge as promise to become most useful to her in future life. This course let her pursue as time and opportunity allow; nor let her be discouraged by whimsical notions of incapacity and inferiority of talents, the offspring of rainy days and blue-devils, which will continually suggest themselves as excuses for indolence. Still, however successful may be her exertions, she must not fancy herself a profound scholar; for extensive knowledge is to be acquired only by years of unremitting labor, and by a mind entirely devoted to the pursuit of it. She will recollect that knowledge is valuable, not as an end, but as a means, and must steadily resolve to intermit or renounce her favorite studies, whenever they interfere with the duties of her sex and station.
Yet, after all that can be said against learned ladies, should some uncommonly strong, active and well-informed, and well-regulated female mind,
No duty broke, no parent disobey'd, cherish an ardent desire to penetrate the sanctuary of knowledge, and to improve her fellow-beings by literary exertions, let her not suspect that nature hath denied those honors to her, which genius and industry bestow upon the other sex. Let her pursue literature with patient investigation and steady perseverance; let an amiable and unassuming modesty accompany her researches; and she will not only be the delight of all around her, but will rank herself with these illustrious women, whose names are the ornament and glory of their sex.
ANTI-MOHAMMED.
FROM THE BALANCE.
"A House divided against itself cannot stand."
No calamity scarcely can befall a people that is more malicious than the general prevalence among them of a virulent spirit of party; for while it poisons the social enjoyments, it tends to derange all order and regular police. Like a jaundice, it gives a certain tinge to the mind, and perverts the medium through which things are viewed. It enters into their local as well as public concerns, and stamps the features of all their social transactions with a strange inconsistency. It perverts the judgment of the wise, and renders man, in regard to reason and truth, as deaf as an adder, as blind as a mole.
Indeed a degree of party spirit will always prevail among a free nation. Human nature is selfish and aspiring; and under a free government, where men may think as they please and speak as they think, a diversity of sentiments will be expressed; and from the collision of individual interest, this diversity of sentiments will frequently produce keen animosities. This is an evil for which there is no remedy. It grows out of the nature of man under a free government; and there is no other alternative, but a state of freedom, attended always with a degree of the spirit of party, and sometimes with violent animosities and commotions, or,
on the other hand, the awful and death-like calm of despotism, where the discontented, and even the injured are obliged to seal their lips, and smother their resentments in their own breasts.
Upon this subject the celebrated Montesquieu expressed the following sentiments. "It may be advanced (said he) as a general rule, that wherever, a perfect calm is visible, in a state that calls itself a republic, the spirit of liberty no longer subsists. Union, in a body politic, is a very equivocal term: true union is such a harmony as makes all the particular parts, as opposite as they may seem to us, concur to the general welfare of the society, in the same manner as discords in music contribute to the general melody of sound. Union may prevail in a state full of seeming commotions; or, in other words, there may be a harmony from whence results prosperity, which alone is true peace, and may be considered in the same view, as the various parts of this universe, which are eternally connected by the action of some and the reaction of others."
Allowing the foregoing sentiments of Montesquieu to be just, there was cause to expect that under our free government, there would be a diversity of sentiments, and such a clashing of political interests, as frequently to excite a degree of public ferment. We had cause beforehand to expect that different candidates for high offices would be supported by their respective parties with a warm zeal; and therefore events of this kind ought to be neither surprising nor alarming.
But when party spirit becomes rancorous and intolent, it scatters, like the fabled box of Pandora, innumerable evils and mischief all around. And whenever, or wherever this is the unhappy state of things, every good man, every well wisher to his country, to whichever party he may belong, should apply emollients and endeavour to abate and heal that rancour and virulence, which tend to render society a curse rather than a blessing.

NEW-YORK, Sept. 19.
The United States frigate Boston, captain M'Niel, now in our harbor, is preparing with all possible expedition, to take out to France, Robert R. Livingston, esquire, minister plenipotentiary from the United States to the French republic.
Arrived, ship Mary, Brown, Greenock; Young John, Smidt, Altona; brigs Fortune, Billings, Anguilla; Sally, Gardner,
Glasgow; sloop Polly, Jenkins, North Carolina.
Cleared, ship Hercules, Story, Hanburgh; sch'r Cameron, Wright, Digby, N. S. sloop Betsey, Randall, St. Jago de Cuba.
The Fortune, from Anguilla, in lat. 23, was boarded by the English frigate Amiable, and treated politely.
The English brig Sally, from Glasgow, on the 26th of July, in lat. 38, long. 35, was taken by the French corvette La Mutine, and polacre ship Le Bonare, (both of which were lately in this port from Cayenne) who plundered the Sally of every thing they could carry off, even the clothing of the captain and seamen, anchors, sails, rigging, quadrant, knives and forks, dishes, mugs, glasses, cups, saucers, bedding, &c. &c. and the loose money which the captain had secreted; and then took the crew of the Sally on board their vessels, with intention of sinking her.—But, finding that they would probably be put to some inconvenience from retaining the crew of the Sally on board, they ordered them back to their vessel again, in the destitute situation in which they left her, leaving only eight days provision on board—the commander of the La Mutine very humanely making captain Gardner a present of the brig, as she stood, wanting every thing to enable him to navigate her; which was next to burning or sinking her, and putting the whole crew to death; for, had they not providentially fallen in with a vessel, and got supplies, they must have perished. And, as it was, captain Gardner and his crew suffered in an inexpressible degree.
The Sally, in lat. 41, 2, long. 60, 23, spoke the ship Paul Seymour, 8 days from Baltimore for Amsterdam.
At a late hour last night, we stole the press to admit the following extracts from the Glasgow Courier of the 11th August, received by the ship Mary, captain Brown, in 35 days from Glasgow.
LONDON, August 8.
Admiralty-Office, August 8.
[Copy of Lord Nelson's letters to E. Nepean.]
Dated off Boulogne, Aug. 4.
SIR—The enemy's vessels, brigs and flats (lugger-rigged) and a schooner, 24 in number, were this morning at day light anchored in a line in front of the town of Boulogne; the wind being favourable for the bombs to act, I made the signal for them to weigh, and to throw shells at the vessels, but as little as possible to annoy the town: the captains placed their ships in the best possible position, and, in a few hours, three of the flats and a brig were sunk; and in the course of the morning six were on shore, evidently much damaged; at six in the evening, being high water, five of the vessels which had been aground, hauled with difficulty into the Mole, the others remained under water; I believe the whole of the vessels would have gone inside the Pier but for want of water.
What damage the enemy have sustained, beyond what we see, is impossible to tell. The whole of this affair is of no further consequence, than to shew the enemy they cannot, with impunity, come outside their ports.
The officers of the artillery threw their shells with great skill; and I am sorry to say that capt. Eyers, of the royal artillery, is slightly wounded in the thigh by the bursting of an enemy's shell, and two seamen are also wounded.
A flat gun-vessel is this moment sunk.
I am, &amp;c.
NELSON and BRONTE.
In a letter to the Lords of the Admiralty, from capt. Mudge, of the ship La Constance, he mentions the capture, by him, on the 27th of July, of a large French brig and lugger, near Cape Ortugal. The brig mounted 18 eighteen pounders and four sixes, and manned with 110 men. They were from Corunna, on a cruise.
A mail was this morning received in town from Lisbon, brought to Britain in the Fox cutter privateer, capt. Parnel, who was sent express with dispatches for government. By this mail it is reported that, tho' peace has been concluded between Spain and Portugal, the communications between this country and Portugal will continue uninterrupted.
On Friday last Lord Nelson sent notice to the commanding officer of the Rams-

gate Sea Fencibles, to call together all those who had enrolled their names in that corps, and to inform them, that in the present situation of affairs, it appeared likely, he would have occasion to call upon them for their services. The answer to the message by the Volunteers, was, that they were ready to attend his Lordship's summons immediately." His Lordship, it was expected, would sail from Ramsgate road, on Friday or Saturday, on another expedition.
The ships Albion, for Boston; Aurora, for Virginia; Aurora, for Charleston; Snow Houghton, for Savannah; ship Paisley, for New-York; Favorite, Beggs, for do; Hannah, for Philadelphia, and brig Lydia, for Boston, are advertised in the Glasgow Courier, of the 11th ultimo. Liverpool, Aug. 8. Price of wheat at the market, 14s to 15s.; sup. flour 50 to 52s.
[The above extracts comprise all the news under the London head of the 8th ult. —and former arrivals furnished us with the advices antecedent to that date.]
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19. Off the Fort, yesterday, one of the Editors of this Gazette boarded the ship Hindostan, captain Finley, from Liverpool, in the remarkably fine passage of 32 days from land to land. Captain Finley had no loose papers on board, but we have been favoured with the London Star, printed on the evening of Saturday the 8th of August—This is the latest London paper that could have been bro't by the Hindostan, as she sailed from Liverpool on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. Her LATEST LETTERS are of the tenth.
From the Star we have extracted a number of interesting particulars. In a letter from Constantinople, of the 25th of June, we find some detail of operations in Egypt, subsequent to the date of the last accounts. The French had been defeated by the troops of the Grand Vizier, and driven to the Citadel of Cairo, where they were blockaded. It will be seen that preparations were making for a second attack on the French coast. Admiral lord Nelson was about to proceed from Margate: the point of attack unknown.
Letters from England mention, that the prospect of a rich harvest never was so flattering. The prices of provisions of every kind were on the decline.
LONDON, August 8. Price of Stocks this day at one o'clock. 3 per c. Conf. 59—Reduced 69 3/4—Om-nium 7 1/2.
A mail was this morning received in town from Lisbon; brought to England in the Fox cutter privateer, captain Parnell, who was sent express with dispatches for government. By this mail it is reported that the peace has been concluded between Spain and Portugal, the communications between this country and Portugal, will continue uninterrupted.
By the Lisbon mail we also learn, that the Lady Arabella packet, capt. Porteus, which was captured a short time since within a league of the Rock of Lisbon, has been retaken by his majesty's ship L'Oiseau, and is arrived at Oporto.
A mail from Halifax has been received this morning, dated July 8th, which was bro't by his majesty's ship St. Albans, admiral Parker, and landed at Portsmouth, but brings no particular news.
The public will soon be put in possession of the official details respecting the operations of the squadron under lord Nelson, which are expected to be published in the Gazette this night.
In the mean time we have laid before our readers, among our nautical intelligence, some further particulars respecting the late attack on Boulogne.
The subjoined letters shew that admiral Lord Nelson has not yet done with the enemy's gun-boats. Where his next attack will be made it would not be proper for us to state, if we knew it, which however we do not; nor would the public thank any one for such information, as might injure the public service, were it given.
Sheerness, August 7. All the Row Boats lying in this harbour are getting ready as quick as possible for immediate service.
The arms and accoutrements belonging to the yeomanry and foot volunteers of this place, were inspected yesterday by colonel Smith of the royal artillery.
Margate, August 7. Admiral lord Nelson, with that part of his fleet which has come into our roads, lies at single anchor, ready to depart as soon as the vessels shall have taken on board some beer, ammunition and a few other necessaries, with which the Diligence sloop, which has been appointed to that service, is now supplying them.
A private letter from Constantinople, of the 25th June, states some interesting particulars respecting the affairs of Egypt. The whole attention of the government is at present occupied in preparing for the administration of that important province, the speedy recovery of which, from the success already experienced, they anticipate with the utmost confidence. The particular details of the affair of El-Hanka, had not been received, but it was known that Menou, apprized of the march of the Grand Vizier, of the arrival of the English forces at Suez, and of the approach of the combined body of the Turks and English, dispatched 3000 men on the 25th of April, to reinforce the corps of Rhamanie, and to put it in a situation to commence offensive operations. After this junction, the French force, consisting of about 5000 men, besides an almost equal number of auxiliary forces, formed of Copts and Greeks, proceeded to attack the army of the Vizier, which vigorously sustained the shock, and after a sharp action, succeeding in compelling the French to take refuge in the forts and citadel of Cairo. This place, after the action, was laid to be kept in a state of close blockade by the troops of the Vizier, joined by the division of col. Spencer, and the troops of the captain Pacha, who had mounted the Nile with his flotilla. It is mentioned that in the battle of the 21st of March, the dreadful carnage, experienced by the left wing of the French army, was in a great degree ascribable to the orders issued by general Menou, on the morning of the battle, by which Regnier and Damas were degraded from their command. The inundation of the country in the neighbourhood of Alexandria, is stated not to have been productive of the end proposed. The circumstance of Menou's having dispatched three thousand men from the camp at Alexandria, to the relief of Rhamanie, appears indeed to be a pretty conclusive proof that the measure has failed in the wished-for success. The city of Alexandria will, however, it is alleged, be exposed to complete destruction, if before the month of September, the English army does not repair those cisterns from which it annually receives the necessary supplies of water.
A letter from Norwich, dated August 7 says—"We have the pleasure to confirm what we anticipated last week, a further decline of Wheat at our market on Saturday last. From information that can be relied on, we are enabled to speak favourably of the crops on the ground, particularly on the real wheat lands, to which we are to look for quantity; there the crop is abundant, and never known to be better set."
Lieutenant Douglas arrived at the Admiralty this morning, with dispatches from Sir James Saumarez. Their contents have not transpired.
A letter, dated La Loire, off Havre de Grace, Aug. 3d, says:—"Last Wednesday evening alarmed us a great deal. We had most tremendous squalls, and thundering and lightning. The whole horizon was quite a continued blaze. By accounts we have heard from the fishermen, much mischief has been done on shore. A few days ago a French man of war's boat was outside of the Pier, with several officers on board. They were chased by La Loire's boat, and very narrowly escaped. The squadron are sending in two vessels which were going into Havre: one a schooner laden with preserved fruit. But what we have detained is an American ship, called Frederick, from New-York; her cargo is tea, coffee, &c."
Arrived at Liverpool. Cumberland, Frederick; and Eagle, Shaw, from New-York. At Clyde.—Aurora, McIntyre, from Virginia; and Alert, Fairfield, from Baltimore.
LONDON GAZETTE, August 4. A letter from captain Manley Dixon, of his Majesty's ship Generaux, to Evan Nepean, esq. encloses a letter from Lord Cochrane relative to the very spirited and brilliant action with a Spanish Xebec frigate.
Sloop Speedy, off Barcelona, May 6, 1801.
Sir—I have the pleasure to inform you, that the sloop I have the honour to command, after a mutual chase and warm action, has captured a Spanish xebec frigate of 32 guns, 22 long 12 pounders, 8 9's, and 2 heavy carronades, named the Gamo, commanded by Don Francisco de Torris, manned by 319 naval officers, seamen, supernumeraries, and marines. The great disparity of force rendering it necessary to adopt some measure that might prove decisive, I resolved to board, & with lieut. Parker, the hon. Mr. Cochrane, the boatswain and crew, boarded; when by, the impetuosity of the attack, we forced them instantly to strike their colours. I have to lament in boarding, the loss of one man only; both from musketry and the sword, one wound received by the boatswain, and one seaman. I must be permitted to say, there could not be greater regularity, nor more cool, determined conduct shown by men, than by the crew of the Speedy. Lieut. Parker, whom I beg leave to recommend to their Lordships' notice, as well as the hon. Mr. Cochrane, deserve all the approbation that can be bestowed. The exertions and good conduct of the boatswain, carpenter, and petty officers, I acknowledge with pleasure, as well as the skill and attention of Mr. Guthrie, the surgeon.
I have the honour to be, &c. COCHRANE. M. Dixon, Esq.
Copy of a letter from Capt. Rogers. Mercury, off the Tremite Islands, in the Adriatic, 23 June, 1801.
My Lord,—I have the satisfaction to acquaint your Lordship with the capture of a notorious French pirate, by the boats of the Mercury and Lt Corso: He had taken refuge in the morning when chased by the Corso among the rocks in the Tremite Islands inhabited by a few renegadoes only; and upon the Mercury's appearance landed the greatest part of his crew, who posted themselves with a four-pounder and musketry upon a hill to defend the vessel, close to which they lay aground with hawsers fast to the shore; notwithstanding this advantageous position, the boats, under the command of lieut. Mather, of the Mercury, rowed in with great intrepidity, exposed to a smart fire of grape and musketry from the vessel and the hill, while the Mercury and Corso awed the enemy by firing what guns could be brought to bear upon him; and we had the satisfaction to see our people very gallantly board the vessel, and land at the same time to drive the ra diti from the hill, in which they fortunately succeeded, without the loss of a man; and lieut. Wilson, with the party of marines, maintained the position, while the seamen hove the vessel off the rocks, and brought her out, with several prisoners taken upon the hill. She had eight 6 and 12 pounders. The plunder found on board this island is sufficient evidence of her character, consisting of bales of cotton, and other goods taken from vessels of different nations.
I have the honor to be, &c. T. ROGERS. Admiral Lord Keith.

NEGROES and LANDS FOR SALE.
I wish to sell a number of very valuable Negroes, among whom are a good waggoner, shoemaker, house-maid, &c. None more capable servants are to be met with! I will give a short credit upon them, assured of punctual payment.

PROPOSALS,

For publishing by Subscription, Six Volumes of
SELECT PLAYS,
To be entitled,
The American Theatre.
CONDITIONS.
 The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a super. fine wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work.  The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per volume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents.  No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given.  The first volume will consist of the following much admired plays— Castle Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing.  The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giving place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of sentiment, and elegance of diction; and no expence withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America. 
When it is considered that the American public have never as yet been put in possession, from a press in this country, of a set of well-selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational sentiment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, amuse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exertions will meet with encouragement.
Subscriptions are received at the office of the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.
