BUSY PART of the WORLD.
MANKIND is divided into two parts, the Busy and the Idle. The Busy world may be divided into the virtuous and the vicious; the vicious again into the covetous, the ambitious, and the sensual. The Idle part of mankind are in a state inferior to any of these. All the other are engaged in the pursuit of happiness, though often misplaced, and are therefore more likely to be attentive to such means as shall be proposed to them for that end. The idle, who are neither wise for this world nor the next, are emphatically called by Dr. Tillotson, fools at large; they propose to themselves no end, but run adrift with every wind. Advice would therefore be only thrown away upon them, since they would scarce take the pains to read it. I shall not fatigue any of this worthless tribe with a large harangue, but will leave them with this short saying of Plato; that labor is as preferable to idleness, as brightness to rust.
The pursuits of the active part of mankind are either in the paths of religion and virtue; or, on the other hand, in the roads to wealth, honor, or pleasure. I shall therefore compare the pursuits of avarice, ambition, and sensual delight, with their opposite virtues; and shall consider which of these principles engages men in a course of the greatest labor, suffering, and assiduity. Most men in their cool reasonings, are willing to allow that a course of virtue will in the end be rewarded the most amply, but represent the way to it as rugged and narrow. If therefore it can be made to appear that men struggle through as many troubles to be miserable as they do to be happy, my readers may perhaps be persuaded to be good when they find they shall lose nothing by it.
First, for Avarice . The miser is more industrious than the saint; the pains of getting, the fears of losing, and the inability of enjoying his wealth, have been the mark of satire in all ages. Were his repentance upon his neglect of a good bargain, his sorrow for being over-reached, his hope of improving a sum, and his fear of falling into want, directed to their proper objects, they would make so many different Christian graces and virtues. He may apply to himself a great part of St. Paul's catalogue of sufferings: in journeying often; in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings, he lay up to himself treasures in Heaven! or, if I may in this place be allowed to add the saying of a great philosopher, he may provide such possessions as fear neither arms nor men, nor love himself!
In the second place, if we look upon the toils of ambition in the same light as we have considered those of avarice, we shall readily own that far less trouble is requisite to gain lasting glory, than the power and reputation of a few years, or in other words we may with more ease deserve honor than obtain it. The ambitious man should remember cardinal Wolsey's complaint; — "Had I served God with the same application wherewith I served my king, he would not have forsaken me in my old age." The cardinal here softens his ambition by the specious pretence of serving his king : whereas his words in the proper construction, imply, that if, instead of being acted by ambition, he had been acted by religion, he should have now found the comforts of it, when the whole world had turned its back upon him.
Thirdly. Let us compare the pains of the sensual with those of the virtuous, & see which are heavier in the balance. It may seem at first view, that the men of pleasure should be advised to change their course because they lead a painful life. Yet we see them so active and vigilant in quest of delight, under so many disquiets and the sport of such various passions, let them answer as they can, if the pains they undergo do not outweigh their enjoyments. — The infidelities on the one part between the two sexes, and the caprices on the other, the debasement of reason, the pangs of expectation, the disappointments in possession, the stings of remorse, the vanities and vexations attending even the most refined delights that make up this business of life, render it so silly and uncomfortable, that no man is thought wise till he has got over it, or happy, but in proportion as he has cleared himself from it.
The sum of all is this: — Man is made an active being: Whether he walks in the paths of virtue or vice, he is sure to meet with many difficulties, to prove his patience and excite his industry. The same, if no greater labor, is required in the service of
vice and folly, as of virtue and wisdom: — And he has this easy choice left him, whether with the strength he is master of, he will purchase happiness or repentance.

BOSTON, June 24.
Further from the W. Indies.
Captain Threlketh arrived at the quarantine ground on Saturday last, from Bassaterre, 22 days, informs that on the 29th May, two French seventy four gun ships, arrived at Bassaterre, from Rochefort who sailed from thence in company with five other ships; and that the two ships above-mentioned sailed from thence on the 2d June, to join the grand fleet at Trinidad, where it was presumed they had gone. Captain T. further informs that the British packet Earl of Leicester, was captured about 16 leagues to the westward of Barbadoes, by a French privateer, and sent into Guadalupe.
From the above intelligence it appears that a reinforcement has arrived from France, for the purpose of joining the French and Spanish fleets; that the period of commencing its contemplated operation against the British colonies was about the 1st of June; and that Trinidad is marked out as the first object of their predatory speculation.
Other accounts from the West Indies to the 30th of May state, that from the dispositions which had been made by the combined squadron, it was probable they would direct their first operations not only against Jamaica but St. Kitts and S. Vincents. No mention is made of their designing an attempt against Jamaica, which is known to be well fortified, and would be gallantly and ably defended. These accounts also confirm the Report that the troops on board the Spanish fleet were in a very sickly condition.
We did not learn that any papers have been received by the arrival of the Hibernia, capt. Smithwick, at Dameriscotta, in 25 days from Liverpool. He informs, that there was an embargo on all British merchant ships throughout England and Ireland, the 19th May.
Several letters were received in town yesterday, from the West Indies, which had been opened on the passage, and endorsed as follows — "opened by the commander of his Britannic majesty's ship Leander."
NEW YORK, June 28.
Captain Denike, in 15 days from St. Croix informs us, that news was received there before just he sailed, that the French had taken the island of Jamaica; that they landed 15,000 troops on the north side of the Island, and marched to Kingston. Capt. D. received the above news from the American Consul just before he sailed.
Capt. Denike further informs that on the 20th of June he spoke the brig Nancy, out 13 days from St. Kitts, for Philadelphia, the captain of which informed, that when he left St. Kitts a large French fleet was off that place.
Capt. D. is the bearer of dispatches for the British Consul.
The ship Mary has arrived at Boston in a short passage from Amsterdam. Letters by her were received in town yesterday to the 10th of May, one of which mentions the arrival of the ship Delaware, and brig Izette, both from N. York.
The ship Pomona from London arrived at this port yesterday, and has furnished the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a regular file of London papers to the 9th of May, and of Lloyd's lists to the 7th, both inclusive. The papers are 1 day later than any previously received, but the intelligence they contain is of very little importance. From the Lloyd's Lists our marine department is enriched with some valuable articles.
London, May 9.
Private letters (by the last Hamburg Mail) from Petersburg, mention, that the Government is resolute in its determination not to accept the subsidy offered by Great Britain.
M. De Novosilkoff, the late Envoy to England, was on the point of setting off to Paris on a very important mission.
Sir John Orde's squadron, on its way from Cadiz, to join the channel fleet, has excited considerable alarm amongst the shipping, and induced several vessels to return into port, which had passed the most dangerous part of their voyage. The Canada transport, with troops, is one of the ships induced to put back.
The West India fleet which sailed on the 20th ult. under convoy of the Ethalion frigate, and Serpent sloop of war, also fell in with Sir John Orde's squadron, was prevailed upon to return into port, and is arrived at Cork.
The next day the Commander of the Ethalion called a meeting of the several captains, on board his ship, and informed them, that if after all they knew, they were still desirous to proceed on the voyage, he would sail with them, provided they would sign a petition to him stating that to be their wish. This being complied with, the trade put to sea, and were only one day before the convoy thought fit to return, without subsequent intelligence, or any additional reasons for so doing.
The Frisk cutter has arrived at Plymouth, with dispatches from the Ferrol squadron, and the fleet under Lord Gardner; she left the former on the 20th ultimo and the latter on the 3d instant. The fleet under Lord Gardner, at the time of her departure, amounted to thirty sail of the line.
Much activity prevails among the hostile flotilla on the opposite coast. On Monday about one hundred of their gun boats were discovered off the sand hills standing for Boulogne; they were supposed to be coming from Havre or Dieppe. Some of our cruisers immediately stood over for the purpose of intercepting them & the squadron at Dungeness instantly got under weigh.
Accounts have been received from the Channel fleet, dated off Ushant, the 3d inst. at which time it had been reinforced by the Mars, Minotaur and Illustrious, of 74 guns each.
The Glory, of 98 guns, is hourly expected at Spithead, with Admiral Sir John Orde on board. Orders have been sent to him to repair thither, and to strike his flag.
Some certain accounts of Lord Nelson's fleet have at length been received. His Lordship, with six sail of the line, it is ascertained by advices which have reached government, was off Carthagena on the 13th ult. standing for the straights, with an unfavorable wind. The remainder of the noble admiral's fleet were not at that time far distant from him; and, from the course he was left steering, little doubt can be entertained of his having received correct intelligence of the enemy. On the 12th, the Beagle sloop saw the Spanish squadron eleven leagues to the westward of Cadiz; and, in the event of the wind becoming favourable for the British fleet to pass the Gut, there is every reason to hope that it would be able to come up with the enemy. Indeed, what with the chances of the weather, the extraordinary eagerness of pursuit, the superior skill of British seamen, and Lord Nelson's characteristic promptitude and perseverance, we entertain little or no doubt of a meeting, glorious, we trust, in its result, having long ere this taken place. The gallant chief of the British squadron comes not within sight of the enemy without vigorously engaging them, and, in that case, the hero triumphs, or survives not the combat.
It was yesterday reported that advices had been received of the French fleet having put to sea from Brest; but, on due enquiry, we could not find that the rumour rested on any authentic foundation. The return of the West India convoy to Falmouth, we believe, gave origin and currency to the report, but this circumstance, we know, was occasioned not by any such advice having been received, but merely in consequence of the information communicated by Sir John Orde, of the Toulon and Cadiz squadrons having put to sea.
We stated yesterday that an embargo had taken place on all vessels in the river, and that a great number of able seamen had been procured for his majesty's service. A warmer press was perhaps never known upon the Thames. By our port letters we find, that a similar expedient has been every where resorted to, and that the seamen thus obtained will enable government to make a very considerable and immediate augmentation to our naval force. These measures it is supposed, will shortly be followed by the calling out of the levy en masse; and every practicable measure will immediately be resorted to for placing the country in the most respectable state of defence.
Government have received certain information that the enemy are determined to make every possible effort against this country; and hence have they resolved to adopt such measures as shall leave scarce any thing to chance. The enemy having ventured their fleets to sea, are now daily encroaching their hostile preparations at Boulogne, the camp at which place has within the last fortnight been very considerably augmented; and our letters of yesterday inform us, that gun boats are almost every day seen steering along the shore from different ports towards the grand depot. On Tuesday about 100 of them were seen coming from the westward; and a signal being hoisted, several of our cruisers went in pursuit of them. That the enemy are now seriously intent upon invading our shores, we entertain not the slightest doubt; but we are no less confident, that, come when they may, they will find us in an ample state of preparation to meet them, and that the day of combat will prove a day of glory to Britain.
Accounts reached town yesterday from Plymouth, stating that advices had been received there by a neutral ship from Charante, that on the 1st of May, a three and a two decker, full of troops, sailed from Rochefort; that an embargo had been laid on, eight days previous to their sailing, which was taken off on the 2d inst. the day on which the neutral vessel alluded to left Charante.
POSTSCRIPT.
The ship Savage, captain Delano, arrived at this port, at a late hour last evening, in forty two days from Liverpool. Captain D. has obligingly favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with London and Liverpool papers, and Lloyd's lists to the 15th of May, inclusive. The following are the most important articles the papers contain.
London, May 10.
"Italy, April 16." — We are now assured that the fleet of Lord Nelson has returned from Egypt to the neighborhood of Toulon. On the 12th instant a fleet was seen near port Mauricio, on the Genoese coast, which was supposed to be English.
"Some English regiments are expected at Malta."
Advices were received at the admiralty from Lord Gardner yesterday. The fleet under his lordship's command consisted of twenty eight sail of the line; the enemy were at single anchor in the Brest water, completely prepared for sea.
The actual amount of their force is not stated, but it is supposed to be from 21 to 25 sail of the line.
The French it is believed, have fourteen thousand choice troops on board, and our force will consist of eight thousand of our best men. The 8th 42d and 91st, it is said, are to form a part of the expedition, but it is not yet known to a certainty if this will be the case. The troops in Ireland commenced their March to Cork on the 4th of May.
May 11.
On Thursday last, about three o'clock, a special messenger arrived at the secretary of state's office, with the the treaty that has been so long negotiating with the court of Russia, sealed and signed in due form. — The treaty is offensive and defensive, and some of the Northern powers either are, or soon will be parties to it. The public may now consider the war as only in its commencement.
Count Woronzow, the Russian ambassador at this court, also received dispatches on Thursday, brought by a Russian Courier, of the same nature as those alluded to above.
May 14.
It is yet undecided whether any detachment from the channel fleet has been sent in pursuit of the combined squadron; but we understand that government have determined to send out such strong reinforcements to the commander in chief, as may enable him to dispatch a number of vessels according to the exigency of any unforeseen and pressing occasion. The press, which is now carried with the greatest activity on the river, and in the out ports, will be continued till every ship of the line either fit for service, or being equipped in a short time, shall have been completely manned.
The order for an embargo at this port was announced from the custom house last Thursday, on which day, and during the whole week, the press gangs have been indefatigable in their exertions. Persons of all professions, as well as seamen, have been occasionally taken, though many have been released on application having been made on their behalf. In the early part of the week, about 40 Irishmen, just landed from a Dublin packet, and who were proceeding up the country in search of employment, were pressed, and taken on board the tender. Since that, however, most of them have been liberated.
The sailing of two French sail of the line from Rochefort, is confirmed by official dispatches.

Plymouth, May 12. — This morning arrived here the following ships from the Channel fleet: Dreadnought, of 98 guns; Temeraire, of 98; Illustrious, of 74; Minotaur, of 74; Mars, of

Ramillies, of 74; and Bellerophon, of 74; the rest of the fleet, consisting of twenty sail of ships, are gone to Torbay; they are come in to get them ready for sea; a great number of soldiers are employed to assist in loading the ships with stores, which are to be dispatched thence for Torbay. The frigates attached to the fleet are left off Brest, to watch the motions of the French fleet, who, no doubt, will take the first opportunity that offers for going to sea.
FALMOUTH, May 6. The Etrus American ship, captain Russell, in 36 days from Norfolk; on her passage she spoke the following ships, viz. the American ship Johan Frederick, with lumber, from Wilmington bound to London, in lat. 8, long. 63 days, and supplied her with provisions; and the American ship Eliza, of New Bedford, from Charleston, for Liverpool, in lat. 44, out 12 days, all well.
PLYMOUTH, May 7. Last evening arrived here the Danish brig Julius, from Charante. She brings an account of the sailing of two French line of battle ships from Rochefort, on the 1st inst. they were full of troops, having been three days employed in embarking them, previous to their leaving that place. Their destination is not known, one of them is a new ship, lately launched at Rochefort.
PHILADELPHIA, June 28. Yesterday arrived, brig Nancy, from St. Kitts, which island she left the 1st inst. as we are told by special permission, an embargo being laid on the shipping at that island.
Captain Ramsdale did not hear of the arrival of any British naval force at Barbadoes, none of the letters that we can hear from that island say any thing of it, but mention the want of a naval force in those seas. Captain Ramsdale informs us that it was said a fleet of 17 sail were seen on the 5th of June, two days before he sailed, at Antigua, and that soon after they came to sea, 7 of them bore away towards Montserrat, but of what nation not known. Letters from St. Kitts say, the island is in great alarm, being in hourly dread of an attack from the French, as they say there is a British force in those seas to oppose them.
CHARLESTON, June 20. The British ships Jack Park, and Nansemond, from the Coast of Africa, via Surinam, anchored at quarantine yesterday. The above ships sailed from Surinam 20 days since; one degree to the windward of Barbadoes, they fell in with the British Mediterranean fleet, under Admiral Lord Nelson, consisting of eleven ships of the line and one frigate, in pursuit of the French and Spanish squadron: They were informed that another British squadron of twelve ships of the line, were expected to follow Lord Nelson immediately.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. MONDAY, JULY 1.
Captain Gibbs, arrived here yesterday from Amsterdam, reports, that the ship, on board of which the lady of Jerome Bonaparte, was a passenger, had arrived at that place; that the pilots who had conducted her into port had been arrested and imprisoned, for disobedience of orders; that a strong guard had been placed over the ship, and the strictest orders given not to suffer any person either to come from, or go on board her. These orders may be considered as coming from the emperor Napoleon, and intended to prevent the landing of our fair countrywoman.
[Bost. Gaz.] Amsterdam papers to the 4th of May, were received at this office yesterday. They are a few days later than our previous dates; but contain (with the exception of the following article) nothing further than the mere details of the various arrangements which are rendered necessary by passing the government of Holland, through one of the political changes prescribed by Bonaparte.
[Ibid.] Leipzig, April 21. —With the acquiescence of a great northern power, a new project has been formed for the preservation of tranquility on the continent, and has been forwarded to Milan by a courier. Endeavors are also using to remove the impediments to a peace between France and England. The above mentioned northern potentate, it is true, coincides with England in several points; but they are by no means agreed as to the future possession of Malta.
"The latter is unwilling to lose the advantages which would result to her on retaining that island; and wishes at least to preserve there a decided influence. On the other side, this is not admitted; and the former status quo is insisted on. It is said that M. Von Noviziltzow will again set out for London, with new powers and instructions, in order to promote the work of peace."
We have received New Orleans papers and letters to the 1st instant. They are quite silent as to the late rumors respecting disturbances in that quarter. Our letter of the 30th says: "We have nothing new here, either political or commercial. Every thing remains tranquil notwithstanding the little success our deputies met with at Washington. Their report has appeared in our papers, and does but very little credit to congress or the president."
"We have had no arrivals direct from England since January. Although there is a certainty, of nine vessels having sailed for this port, no further accounts have been received of them, excepting two, which we have learned have been taken by the French."
(True Amer.) Volney's American Travels. Mr. Volney has published the result of his enquiries upon the winds of the United States, and an English version has been furnished by the Medical Repository No. 32. From all its examination, it appeared to this attentive observer, that to measure the temperature, the degrees must be measured from opposite points, south and north, for the interior, and another measure be made from the shores of the Mississippi. The differences between the east and west sides of the Allegany, was evident at the time of his observations, but beyond 35 degrees of latitude, this difference ceased, as it did beyond 45 northward—So that his observations are confined within the 20 degrees and progress of cold, that no doubts can be entertained that some ingenious observers will compare this theory, with the very interesting facts which last year furnished. They were very inconsistently reported in the Gazettes, but probably another year may be found in which the common laws of the season will be less observed. Mr. Volney informs, that in the Genessee they have the climate of Pennsylvania, rather than Vermont and New Hampshire. This will make against the theory of greater cold from the forests, as a principle to be applied to our continent, when compared with Europe. And as to another theory Mr. Volney observes, that in the latitude of Niagara, the colds do not last more than 2 months, the most elevated point, a circumstance which returns, he thinks, entirely, the rule of levels.

The Humane Society of Philadelphia Has caused a hand-bill to be pasted on each of the pumps of that city, containing the following
Directions for Preventing SUDDEN DEATH, FROM DRINKING COLD WATER, Or cold liquor of any kind, in warm weather,
 1. Do not drink while you are warm. Or  2. Drink only a small quantity at once, and let it remain a short time in your mouth before you swallow it. Or  3. Grasp the vessel out of which you are about to drink, for a few minutes with both your hands. Or  4. Wash your hands and face, and rinse your mouth with cold water before you drink. 
If these precautions have been neglected and the disorder incident to drinking the cold liquor hath been produced, give from 40 to 60 drops of liquid laudanum ; in spirit and water or warm drink of any kind. If these should fail of giving relief, the same quantity may be repeated every 20 minutes until the pain and spasms abate.
N. B. The dose of Laudanum is calculated for a grown person, and must be smaller for a child.

WORM-SEED. At this time of the year, and during the warm season, when Cholera Morbus , commonly called purging and vomiting, very often combined with worms, is so frequent amongst children, that many are every day carried off by that dreadful sickness, the WORM-SEED ESSENCE will be found an efficacious medicine. Even should the patient have no verminous complaint, it will still accelerate the cure of the cholera, if given in time, and conjointly with other remedies, calculated to temper the acidity of the bile, or correct the acidity of the juices necessary for good digestion, the cholera morbus having its cause in the want of a good quality in the bile & juices of the stomach, both being necessary for good digestion. It will be remembered, that
those who do not digest well, cannot enjoy good health; the Essence of Worm Seed, as thousand have experienced, is a good preservative and restorative to the stomach, having much the same quality as the essence of peppermint, with the advantage of preventing and destroying any kind of worms, and may be used with safety at any period of life, from childhood to old age. (Fed. Gaz.)
From the Albany Gazette. Method of administering the Poligala Senega (Seneca Snake Root) for the cure of the Croup or Hives (Synanche Trachealis.)
Take half an ounce of the Seneca snake root bruised in a mortar, put in a tea pot and add half a pint of water, let it simmer gently by the fire until it is reduced to half the quantity. A small teaspoon full of this to be given every hour, and during the intervals give frequently a few drops at a time until it vomits or purges; after that administer only five or six drops every few minutes to keep up a constant stimulus in the mouth and throat.
The efficacy of this medicine in the croup was but lately discovered in the southern states where this complaint prevails much. It generally relieves or cures in a few hours. It operates by stimulating the throat and fauces, thus contributing to loosen and throw off the inflammatory crust in the windpipe, which is the seat of the disease. But its success depends essentially on the mode of administering it; the above method should therefore be exactly pursued. It has recently been administered in cases of inflammatory sore throat, with the happiest effect. It is advisable in cases of administering new medicines, but especially the Seneca snake root, to consult a physician, and strictly to pursue his directions in administering it to the patient.
FROM THE QUEBEC MERCURY. We sometime past, mentioned in our paper, the fate of a miser who perished in the fire at St. Thomas's, and whose skeleton was said to be found extended over his iron chest. Attached to some St. Croix Gazettes, we have received from a friend, a narrative of that fire in M. S. Here follows an extract:
"Amongst those who have lost their lives was an old German, who had been many years a resident, and by the dint of the usurious schemes and illegal traffic, had accumulated much wealth; when living, he was a very bad neighbor, a shocking unmerciful master, and no mans friend. When any needy wretch unfortunately fell into his clutches, he always dealt with him most unfeelingly to increase his pile, for"
"His God was gold, and his religion theft." "An hour before the fire extended to his house, one of his white companions told him that if he would trust his bags of gold and dollars to his house, he might send them with his negroes and that they should be safe, but this he refused to do. Presently after, as the fire was approaching, he was requested by the same man to unbind one of his slaves, whom he had chained to a post for some misdemeanor, and this he also refused to comply with, but suffered him to be burnt to ashes."
"The reptile soul, whose reasoning powers were spent, Within the logic bounds of cent per cent. Would trust no man, white or black, but stuck close to his chests in the midst of the flames 'till reduced to a skeleton; no doubt he had no power before or at the last gasp to beg for mercy; we are informed that the last exclamations of the forlorn, soulless, encanker'd wretch, were,
"O my Dollars! my Dollars! my darling Dollars!"
"The fire is consuming me—Adieu! adieu! adieu!" "Next day among the immensity of ruins exposed after such awful devastation, his bones were found close by a large iron chest, with the key of it clinched fast to the parched bones of his wrist. No less than 80,000 dollars were found, which were lodged in the fort, to be appropriated to the relief of the real sufferers."
"Hear this, all ye misers, and tremble; of all the filthy, carnivorous animals of God's creating, ye are the most detestable and hateful in his eyes."
