Mr. Prentis, the sarcastic editor of the Virginia Gazette , has a sad trick of amusing himself and his readers at the expence of his neighbor, the editor of the Richmond Enquirer , a young man who seems to have his brain confused by a jumble of crude and absurd notions, which he mistakes for philosophy. The following is a happy specimen of Mr. Prentis's saterical manner.
(U. S. Gaz.)
We have before hinted, we are now more than ever convinced that the genius of the editor of the Enquirer , is not adapted to politics; but rather calculated to surprise us with its great powers in philosophical facts and theories. The editor of the Enquirer introducing the melancholy account of the loss of the ship Jupiter , by ice on the Grand Bank, commences with the three following correct and profound observations:—
"It would be well for the adventurous seamen if the large glaciers of ice which are accumulated round the poles, would remain in the latitudes where nature had formed them. In this situation they might indeed effect the climate of the continents, by cooling the winds which blow over them. But they would never disturb the safety of the seaman, unless he himself should visit the frozen oceans, where they are formed, in search of the whale, or the seal." Yes, vastly better than on politics does Mr. Ritchie reason here; and every word is true. First he tells us (and it is a fact) that if the ice should always remain at the poles, it would never come away from there to disturb the seamen: Next we are told that the ice makes the wind cold! and after, if the seaman should not go to the ice at the poles he would be safe. The substance of the whole is this Ice is of a cooling nature; but if the seaman does not go near the ice, nor the ice come to the seamen, then the seamen will not be disturbed by the ice; and, vice versa, the ice will not be disturbed by the seaman; which circumstance will be very fortunate both for the ice and the seaman.
So much for close reasoning on facts: the concluding remarks are skepritical .
"Dr. Darwin in his Botanic Garden has very fancifully observed, that if the nations of Europe, instead of destroying their seamen, and exhausting their wealth in unnecessary wars, could be induced to unite their labors to navigate these immense masses of ice into the southern oceans, two great advantages would result to mankind; the tropical countries would be much cooled by their solution, and the winters of Europe would be rendered much milder, for perhaps a century or two, till the masses of ice should once more become enormous. The philosophical poet has forgotten to mention as another advantage, that fatal accidents are prevented," &c.
Editor Enquirer.
What a plan! worthy of Godwin, of T. M. Randolph, or any philosopher of the new school. Now what if Mr. Ritchie should go to Europe and propose this plan to the contending nations there; what ought not to be his reward, if adopted? Instead of "wasting their wealth in unnecessary wars," let the contending armies and navies unite like brothers, and all go to the northern latitudes and procure ice islands of 50 or 60 miles in length, and "navigate" them to the West Indies; which would be "much cooled by their solution;" and the "winters of Europe and of North America would be much milder for perhaps a century or two"!!! —Yes, let them only take away all the ice at the poles, and carry it to the torrid zone, and the dairy maids in Martinique, Guiana, &c. will be able to keep their butter cool in summer; and the north pole, now covered with Andes of ice, would yield wine, lemons, pine apples, &c. in abundance. Procure some substitute for milk, make a dam from Florida to the Havanna, and from Cape Antonio to False Cape, to keep out the warmer water of the Gulph stream, and the whole Gulph of Mexico may be made a pot of excellent ice cream. The experiment is certainly worth trying. If the world continue such fools, in spite of the recommendation of Dr. Darwin and Mr. Ritchie, as not to attempt this great step to perfectability , the philosophers of the new school will die in despair. We hope Mr. J. M. Randolph will bring forward a resolution in congress at the next session for commencing this grand acquisition in "perpetual improvability," for besides the advantages mentioned by Dr. Darwin, Mr. Ritchie concludes his observations by remarking that "such fatal accidents" — the loss of the ship Jupiter , "will be prevented" by thus putting the ice out of harm's way, and of
course the injury to our revenue by the loss of such vessels, will also be prevented.
"Is't not a pity now, That having wielded th' elements, and built A thousand systems, each in his own way, They should go out in fume and be forgot? Defend me therefore common sense lay 1, From reveries so airy, from the toil Of dropping buckets in into empty wells, And growing old in drawing nothing up."
LORD MELVILLE.
Authentic copy of the letter from Lord Melville, to the Commissioners of Naval Enquiry.
GENTLEMEN,
Having read your tenth report, and observing particularly the following paragraph in the 141st page, "However the apprehension of disclosing delicate and confidential transactions of government might operate with Lord Melville in withholding information respecting advances to other departments, we do not perceive how that apprehension can at all account for his refusing to state whether he derived any profit or advantage from the use or employment of money issued for the services of the navy. If his Lordship had received into his hand such monies as were advanced by him to other departments, and had replaced them as soon as they were repaid, he could not have derived any profit or advantage from such transactions, however repugnant they might be to the provisions of the legislature for the safe custody of public money."
I think it necessary to state the following observations, in order to place in their just view the grounds on which I declined answering your question, and which you appeared not to have accurately understood.
When you first called upon me for information, I stated to you that I had not materials on which I could frame such an account as you required me at that time to prepare, and in a communication with Mr. Trotter, before my examination on the 5th Nov. last, I learnt, for the first time, that in the accounts that he had kept respecting my private concerns, he had so blended his own private monies with what he had in his hands of public money, that it was impossible for him to ascertain, with precision, whether the advances he had occasion to make to me, in the course of his running private accounts with me, were made from the one or from the other aggregate sums which constituted his balance with Messrs. Coutts. This circumstance, which I understand Mr. Trotter had distinctly communicated to you, made it impossible for me to return any other answer than I did to the general question which you put to me. "Whether Mr. Trotter had applied any of the money issued for carrying on the current service of the Navy, for my benefit or advantage?" and to this circumstance I uniformly referred in my answers to other questions respecting the manner in which Mr. Trotter applied the money in his hands.
When you put the question to me, "Whether I did direct or authorise Mr. Trotter to lay out or apply, or cause to be laid out or applied, any of the money issued for carrying on the current service of the Navy, to my benefit or advantage?" My answer was, "To the best of my recollection I never did." That answer I now repeat. Had you proceeded to inquire whether I ever had any understanding, expressed or implied, with Mr. Trotter respecting any participation of advantages derived from the custody of the public money, or whether I at any time knowingly derived any advantage to myself from any advances of public money, I should have had no hesitation in declaring, as I now declare, that there never was any such understanding, nor any thing like it, between Mr. Trotter and myself; that I never knowingly derived a such advantages; and that whatever emolument accrued to Mr. Trotter in the conduct of the pecuniary concerns of the office, was so far as I am informed, exclusively his own.
With respect to any advances which Mr. Trotter might make on my private account, I consider myself as debtor to him alone, and as standing, with regard to him, in no other predicament than I should with any other man of business who might be in occasional advance to me in the general management of my concerns intrusted to him. It is impossible for me to ascertain from any document or vouchers in my hands, or now existing, what the extent of those advances might have been at any particular period. The accounts which you have inserted in your report I never saw them till I saw them in your report itself. They are no accounts of mine nor am I party to them. They contain a variety
of sums issued nominally to me, which never came into my hands, and they give no credit for various sums received by Mr. Trotter on my private account for my salary as treasurer of the navy, and other sources of income, in which he was in the receipt, nor do they take any notice of the security in which he was in possession for the repayment of any balance at any time due to him from private funds.
With respect to the sums of naval money advanced to me, and applied to other services, I do not feel it necessary to make any additional observations, except to declare that all those sums were returned to the funds from which they were taken, having in no instance been withdrawn from it for any purpose of private emolument or advantage.
Before I conclude, I wish to correct an inaccuracy, which I observe in one part of the evidence in Appendix No. 7, page 192. The question is put to me, "did you derive any profit or advantage from the use or employment of money issued for carrying on the current service of the navy between the tenth of August eighteen hundred and two, and 30th of April eighteen hundred and three; or between the 1st of February, one thousand seven hundred and eighty four, and 31st of Dec. one thousand seven hundred and eighty five, during which period you held the office of treasurer of the navy?" Which question I there answer by a reference to the answer given to a similar question put to me before. This answer is inaccurate in so far as it contains a reference to Mr. T's mode of blending his funds in his private account with Messrs. Coutts.
Mr. Trotter was not paymaster till the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty six. The circumstance therefore relating to Mr. Trotter's account, which precluded my returning an answer to your questions, do not apply to the periods specified in that mentioned, and I can therefore have no difficulty in declaring, that during those periods I did not derive any advantage from the use or employment of public money issued for carrying on the service of the navy. Having stated these facts it is almost unnecessary to add that I am at any time ready to verify them upon my oath.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
MELVILLE.
ANSWER OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
Office of Naval Inquiry, Great George-street, April 2, 1804.
MY LORD,
We have received your lordship's letter of the 28th of last month, by which you intimate that we appear not to have accurately understood the grounds on which you declined answering our questions, and submit to us some observations in order to place those grounds in their just view; and also express a wish, before you conclude, to correct an inaccuracy in one part of your evidence, and a readiness to verify by your oath facts stated in that letter.
If it be the object of this communication, that we should again require your lordship's attendance, for the purpose of being examined, touching these matters, and that we should make a supplemental report upon the result of that examination, and such other examinations, as we might thereupon judge necessary, there can be no disinclination on our part (as far as we are concerned in the proceeding) to meeting your lordship's wishes: But it appears to us that the enquiry, which is the subject of the tenth report, has attained that period when it would not become us to adopt such a measure, merely upon the suggestion of any of the parties, to whose conduct that report relates.
We were occupied several months in investigating the mode of conducting the business of the office of treasurer of the navy: Those who were examined by us had the fullest opportunity of stating and explaining all things which related to the management of that department, or to the share which they respectively had in it; and of correcting, at any time, during the progress of the enquiry, any mistakes which might inadvertently have been made. Our opinion and observations upon the irregularities and abuses, which we discovered, were formed and drawn up with the utmost care and deliberation; and they are now submitted to the three branches of the legislature, as the act, by which we are appointed, requires. If it could be made to appear upon a representation to them that any thing has been omitted on our part, that any misunderstanding or error had occurred, and that a further enquiry is advisable upon these or any other grounds, it would be for them to direct such further enquiry, and to decide b

whom, and in what manner, it should be prosecuted; but, in the present circumstances, it appears to us that we cannot with propriety resume it. Your lordship's most obedient humble servant, CH. M. POLE, EWAN L. LAW, JOHN FORD, H. NICOLLS, W. MACKWORTH PREAD.
BOSTON, May 23.
FROM HOLLAND.
Yesterday arrived the ship Hamilton, Captain Porter, in 32 days from Amsterdam. Capt. P. politely favored us with papers to the 18th of April, inclusive; but we have not been able to obtain any transactions in season for this day's paper. The new constitution for the Batavian republic was going into operation. There were some whispers of an expectation of peace in the course of the summer; but the Dutch had 150 transports ready for sea, which it was supposed would soon be employed on some expedition; and the British, it was said, were collecting a fleet of transports, &c. at Yarmouth.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, April 11, received by the Warrington.
"We have a rumor that the French and Spaniards intend to capture all neutral vessels bound to and from British ports; and that two ships have been already taken. However this report may be, it has excited the fears of the underwriters."
NEW-YORK, May 27.
Arrived, schooner Cornelia, Weston, St. Bartholemews 17 days. Passengers, Col. Mallamsant, of the French army, and Dr. La Croessade. Left brig Olive, Norton, of New York, discharging; Sally Grozer, Boston, to sail immediately; Hannah, Mitchell, Newburyport, ditto; schooner Atlantic, Waterman, New York, discharging, ditto; Commerce, Merrick, ditto, nearly loaded; Ceres, Brown, Perth-Amboy in ten days; schooner Lydia, Blaydon, Newburyport, last from Marseilles, discharging; Republican of Alexandria, last from St. Thomas; Federalist of Norfolk, William, Harper, Alexandria, sailed the 5th inst. The ship, Friendship, Little, of New York, was at St. Martins a short time before sailing. May 9, in lat. 22, 11, long. 64, 1, captain W. was chased a great part of the day by a French privateer from St. Martins, called the Thazer; at three P. M. he came within pistol shot, under English colors, hauled up his foresail, and without hailing, let drive a grist of grape, with an intention he said to clear the decks, conceiving us to be an Englishman, from Halifax; he however did us no other injury than perforating the fore and main sails, and after some abuse obliged us to launch our boat, being squally and a high sea running. & to go on board the privateer, after perusing the papers, was more polite, tho' at the same time, which was on board the privateer, he had dispatched his boarding officer and crew to our vessel, who commenced plundering and filling the boat with sundry articles, even razing from the cleats, and would have made off with it had not one of the passengers threatened him with a report of such base conduct to the commander in chief, (general Ermouf) at Guadeloupe. Conscious of the gentleman's authority with gen. Ermouf, they made off without causing us farther trouble. May 23, lat. 37, long. 73, spoke sloop Polly, Luther, from New-London for the West Indies. May 24th, Sandy-Hook light bearing N. W. by W. six miles, was brought to, obliged to hoist out the boat and go on board the French privateer Fly-Fish, captain Guillaume L'Anglais, with my papers—with the exception of the trouble of hoisting out the boat, was treated politely.
May 28.
Arrived, brig Sussex, Lee, in 25 days from Falmouth, Jamaica. Left at Montego Bay, brig Industry, to sail in 5 or 6 days. The Sussex was boarded on the passage by one French and two English privateers, the former of whom knocked down the bulk head, overhauled the cargo, and broached a puncheon of rum. May 28th, in lat. 38, 30, long. 74, spoke brig Ann, 12 days from St. Thomas for Philadelphia. The brig Sally, Chase, of Rhode Island, sailed from Falmouth the 25th of April for Montego Bay, and was taken by a small privateer close in with the harbor, which was pursued without effect by a sloop from the ship Watt and 35 well armed volunteers.
The morning on which capt. Lee left Falmouth he saw a gentleman from Montego Bay, who informed him that capt. Grace had arrived there the day before in
his long boat, after being 13 hours at sea, and that his brig was taken over to Cuba. The privateer was from Guadeloupe, with orders to capture every American found trading to Jamaica. May 26th, Sandy-Hook bearing N. N. W. distant 12 leagues, the Sussex was boarded by an armed schr. under Spanish colours, who afterwards hoisted French, and said she was an Imperial vessel. They detained the Sussex 5 hours, and took from on board two puncheons rum, two barrels of Limes, one case castor oil, ten doubloons from the captain, and several small articles about the decks, &c. she was a yellow sided schooner, with a white bottom, and lately from New York.
BALTIMORE, May 27.

FRIDAY, MAY 31.
Christopher Ellery, esq. has been appointed by the president of the U. States, Commissioner of Loans for the state of Rhode Island, in the room of Jabez Bowen esq.
Whether the vacancy filled by Mr. Ellery, was created by 'death,' 'resignation,' or the more fashionable expedient of remova , we are uninformed; the presumption is that Mr. Bowen adds another to the list of victims to an 'intolerance as despotic as wicked.' This however we know, that a more injudicious appointment could not have been made. It is no longer ago than last winter, that the legislature of Rhode Island refused to re-elect the same Mr. Ellery a senator; and the reason alleged was, his conduct in the affair of the Geoffrey Letters , which it is generally supposed he forged, for the base purpose of ruining the character of Mr. Rutland, and gratifying the man who has now rewarded him.
(New London pap.)
It is not from mere difference of opinion, in matters of government that the federalists are so constant and so zealous in their opposition to the ruling party in this country; but solely to the intriguing and dishonorable practices which it has invariably pursued, in gaining that ascendancy it now possesses. The leaders of the party well knew, that nine tenths of mankind, in this as well as in every other country, were either incompetent to judge thoroughly of political matters, or were too indolent to investigate them; and consequently were easily to be flattered and deceived. Believing this, they have tried the experiment, and found it too generally successful. The federalists, on the other hand, have been open and honest in their appeals to the public; they have advocated no doctrines, which have not the test of experience to prove their correctness; they have warned their fellow-citizens to beware of the deceit daily practised upon them, by artful, and insidious writers; many of whom, are hired to do the dirty drudgery of the party; they have shown the final issue of Republican revolutions, not only in France, but in all precedent time; and what has this conduct availed? Truly very little—it may have chained the wheels of democracy, in its downward course of national degradation, and thus prevented a precipitate destruction; but it has not totally stopped its progress; the work is still progressing; and it is feared, nothing less than the interposition of Providence, can save us from all the horrors of disunion, anarchy and civil wars; for truly has the poet said,
TRUTHS wou'd you teach, to save a sinking land; All read none aid you, and few understand.
(Boston Gazette.)
What is the matter now? Has the Society of the Cincinnati become obnoxious to his royal highness Jefferson I? Does he consider it an obstacle to his growing power? Is it a source of jealousy, because respectable; founded by patriot warriors, and independent of the executive of the nation? What is brewing for this society we know not, but certain it is, that the following hints, which seem to forebode a denunciation, are from the president's official paper, the national intelligencer. They make an introductory paragraph to the notice there taken of the recent election of Cincinnati officers.
[Boston Repository.]
"We publish the following account of the annual election of the officers of the General Society of the Cincinnati, for the purpose of recording its existence at this time, and of enquiring why it now continues to exist. Is it to be considered as a convivial, a charitable, or a political institution? What has become of the badge of membership, and the hereditary honors at one time held forth? And what have become of the jealous and indignant feelings towards this order excited by the eloquent animadversions of judge Burke."
FROM LONDON PAPERS.
It should be remembered that when the stomach is overladen the head feels a considerable share of the weight. It is related of Chatterton, that he was remarkably abstemious, and that it was a frequent and favorite maxim with him that a man might arrive to any height of improvement or effect the most arduous undertaking, by industry and abstinence. He practised what he taught; and this may in some degree account
for his uncommon attainment, productions, at an age when the full force of the mind can scarcely read and write.
It is of the utmost importance says Pertrarch, to consider what sort of leisure one ought to chuse. For there are two kinds. The first is that of him who is fully intent upon some liberal pursuit, even while at rest, than which kind nothing is more delightful. The other species of leisure is the loitering of the spiritless sluggard who loves lassitude for its own sake, than which nothing is more inglorious, nothing more like the repose of the grave.
One of Selwin's conceits has been completely realised in Paris. As this facetious gentleman was one day walking the streets of London, he met a number of Chimney Sweep's boys fantastically dressed out, to whom he pulled off his hat and bowed most respectfully. Being questioned as to this singular conduct, he replied, 'we have heard much lately of the majesty of the people, and these undoubted must be princes of the blood.'
FROM THE BALANCE.
"FALSE FACTS."
Well, Tom, the falsehoods on you cast, I'm told, you've own'd are facts, at last, And all your friends have known it: Says Tom, I'll not conceal from you; It is a fact, that they are true, But false that I will own it.

CLIFTON-MILL,
WITHIN two and an half miles of Dumfries, on the waters of Quantico, which is as constant a stream as any in this part of the country, and in an exceeding healthy situation; very conveniently situated to a fine wheat country, not being more than half a mile out of the way (in going to Dumfries) from the main road leading from Fauquier court house, Centerville, &c. (and thought by some not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it; together with from 90 to 100 acres of land, the greatest part of which is well wooded; the Mill is an overshoot, with a wheel of 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with 2 pair of stones, 1 pair of French burrs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every apparatus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The Mill House is 50 feet long by 27 feet wide, 2 stories high, together with a barn, stable, cow-house and lumber house convenient to the Mill, convenient Dwelling-House not quite finished, with a Kitchen, Meat and Corn-House, all of which have been built within eight or nine years past: There is on this place a thriving young Peach Orchard.

It is deemed unnecessary to say any thing more respecting the premises, as it is presumed any person inclined to purchase will wish to see them. The subscriber will show the property; or, if he be absent, Mr. James C. Evans, living thereon, will attend. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable property, but some pressing demands which I am anxious to discharge.
The Conditions of the Sale will be—
One-half of the purchase money in hand, the other half in 9 or 18 months, bearing interest from the day of sale; approved security will be required. Possession will be given of the Mill, &c. immediately, and the Land as soon as the crop is off; and the latter place on Christmas next.
