THE LAY-CURATE.
DISCOURSE XI.
BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM THAT DESPITEFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU.
Nothing so plainly evinces a superior nobleness of mind as the forgiveness of injuries. Nothing so nearly assimilates us to that being, whose most endearing attribute is mercy. Yet to forgive him who has for a series of years pursued us with unremitting hostility, requires a command over the passions which few can ever obtain; to subdue resentment so far as to succor him in distress, and to protect him against the just indignation of others, is a degree of charity which, however it may exalt him who possesses it, is possessed by very few indeed. The scriptures are full of exhortations to this amiable duty; but, alas! even the scriptures can furnish us with very few instances of the good effects of these exhortations.
Accident lately threw into my hands a volume of the Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople; in which I have met with one of the finest examples of the exercise of this Christian principle that perhaps to this day has been recorded; conveyed in a strain of eloquent declamation, equal to, if not surpassing, any thing which has descended to us from antiquity.
Eutropius, one of the weakest, most profligate, and most wicked of his kind, had been advanced by the imbecil Arcadius to the rank of Father of the emperor; and, as Gibbon indignantly expresses it, "the last year of the fourth century was polluted by the consulship of an eunuch and a slave." A mind unillumined by one solitary virtue, but abandoned to every vice, united to unlimited power, became the scourge of the empire; but the church more particularly, was the object of his unrelenting persecution. At length, after having in every way abused his authority, he fell from his exalted station the object of universal malediction. To escape from the rage of the multitude and the offended majesty of the laws, he took refuge in the archiepiscopal church of St. Sophia; availing himself of that privilege which he had himself, by law, abolished. The rage of the soldiery and populace had risen to such a pitch that they were ready to tear him from the altar, when St. John, the golden-mouthed, ascended the pulpit to save him; which, by the powers of his irresistible eloquence he effected. It would be a vain presumption in the LAY-CURATE to hope that he can imitate such a style; yet the reader may find even his version worthy of a patient perusal.
His homily breaks out in a bold strain of invective against the fugaciousness of power and wealth; and after having thus fixed the attention of his audience, he proceeds in his design, first gaining the favor of the turbulent by seeming to join in their sentiments, addressing alternately the victim and his pursuers.
"Have I not told you, Eutropius, have I not incessantly repeated, that riches and honors are at best but fugitive slaves? Yet you believed me not! Experience has now enlightened your mind; has but too fatally convinced you that they are not merely fugitives but homicide and murderers! Have I not told you, when offended with my sincerity, that the wounds inflicted by a friend are a thousand times more salutary than the caresses of enemies; that, when reproaching you, I was the friend of your person than those who abused your confidence and reserved flatteries. Had you
received my reproof as you ought, their flatteries had not proved so mortal to your peace.
"Where now, where at this moment are those men who administered to you the overflowing cup of adulation?—Cringing slaves of prosperity, they are fled from the presence of affliction!—Leagued with your vindictive foes, they offer up to those whose hands are raised against your life, the same instance which betrayed you. Miserable man! how different is the treatment you have received from us! They who rioted in your favor, now abjure your friendship; we who endured from you all the ills which giddy and malevolent power could inflict, now, in your direst moment of adversity, shield you from destruction! The court which so lately bent the abject knee before you, now pursues your life: the church against which you waged a cruel and unremitting warfare, opens her breast to offer you an asylum! The theatres, whose approbation was your delight, have forsaken and insulted you; the church, against which every vindictive passion of your heart was let loose, covers you with her sacred veil! The circus, for whose sake you exhausted the national treasury, is in arms against you: the church, which has never ceased to groan beneath your unjust and unhallowed oppression, eagerly advances to snatch you from the abyss into which you have been plunged by depravity and folly!
"I speak thus, not to insult an unhappy being whose misfortunes have bowed him to the ground, but as a warning to those who are still erect; not to exasperate the sufferings of a wounded man, but to protect from mischance those who are yet unhurt: not to cast back upon the waves one who has already suffered shipwreck, but to instruct those who yet navigate in safety how to shun the dangers which have been fatal to him. How are we to save ourselves from such disgrace but by entertaining a proper sense of the instability of all human grandeur. If this man, when in power, had ever dreaded a revolution, he would not this day appear as he does before us. Ye who float on the treacherous ocean of prosperity, refuse not to profit by the example of one to whom neither the counsels of friends nor of strangers could impart wisdom! What mortal was ever more elevated than Eutropius? Had he not attained the summit of worldly honors? Was not his name the terror of the Roman Empire? Behold him now! More miserable than the vilest slave; more fearful than the dungeon criminal, who hourly awaits the execution of his sentence; more destitute than the veriest wretch who perishes of hunger! His mind can picture nothing but chains, and executioners, and torments and death! The remembrance of his former greatness is as completely effaced from his memory as if it had never been! Even the sun that cheers all the world besides no longer casts its beams for him!—No effort of language can reach his sufferings: Look upon him—language will then be superfluous! You witnessed his agonies yesterday, when his soldiers came to force him from the temple: you saw him fly to and fro like the holy vail: the paleness of death had overspread his countenance; his whole frame was convulsed; his voice faltered; his tongue became parched; terror had subdued every faculty of his mind and body! It is not to reproach him with his disgrace, nor to add to their too ponderous weight, that I recall these circumstances: it is that I may move your compassion; that I may restore you to sensibility; that I may persuade you that he is already but two severely punished.
"There are many among you so unfeeling, so barbarous, as to reproach us for having extended to him the pro-
tection of our temple: it is to touch their hearts, it is to soften their natures, that I retrace the picture of his miseries.—Why should your indignation be excited? Is it because he who had continually warred against the altar, now finds from it his safety? Rather should you with thankful hearts give glory to God, who has taught this sacrilegious enemy to know at once the power and clemency of his church.—Her power, inasmuch as his fall has been occasioned by those very means, which he had employed for her destruction: her clemency in covering with her buckler, her most rancorous persecutor, warding from his head both the legal and the popular vengeance, without ever casting even one retrospective thought on the injuries she has received. To spare a deadly foe who flies to her for safety; to shew him a face marked only by mercy and forgiveness; to open her arms to receive him when abandoned by all the world; to throw like a tender mother the mantle of pity over him; to defend him against the anger of the prince, the fury of the people, the universal hatred of mankind: this, this is the mighty revenge which religion takes of her foes! this is the glorious resentment of the altar of Christ!
"Do you ask me where is the glory of being touched and polluted by one so guilty?—Of being contaminated by the embraces of a wretch who has existed only by public and private depredation?—Were not the feet of Jesus himself touched by a Courtezan, by a woman covered with impurities? Was he thereby tainted? No my friends; an immaculate Deity could not be injured by the touch of an impure woman; but a Courtezan, a criminal was sanctified by her communication with a pure and irreproachable God! Let us improve by this most brilliant example of his infinite goodness! Let us no longer think of vengeance; if we would indeed be thought: the disciples of a saviour whose dying aspiration was, for his insulting and mortal enemies, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do!"
"But say you, this man has himself, by all his laws abolished this asylum.—He now abrogates those laws.—He now by his own actions proclaims their justice. Prostrate before the altar, a spectacle for the world to gaze on; he instructs mankind by his silence: he cries to them, beware how ye deliver yourselves to the excesses which have betrayed me, if ye wish to escape my punishment! His calamity is truly an important lesson; and never did the church so greatly triumph, as when she seized this lion in her grasp. There is no need of words to inforce this lesson: a glance at his person conveys its full meaning to the heart. To behold that person, have you crowded this sacred place: to witness the disgrace of one man have you deserted public duties, abandoned your household concerns: men & women, age & infancy, have, as by an universal impulse, assembled to see the weakness of human nature exemplified; the fragility of human grandeur displayed; to note what was yesterday the proud, the gaudy, the oppressive courtier to-day reduced to his original deformity and meanness. Yes, such is the nature of unjust prosperity: ill-success, like a sponge, effaces at once all its meretricious attractions, leaving nothing but the hideous and wrinkled visage of guilt and debauchery. Such is the change that now exhibits the most abject of mortals, in him who so lately lorded it over millions, and trampled on the laws, the honor, and the dignity of Empires.
"What a lesson for all classes of men!—The great behold him who held the world in awe precipitated from the apex of power, they see him humbled, timid, trembling, chained by abject fear to the pillars of the altar: admonished by the spectacle, they reprimand
their pride, shudder at their own injustice, and making profitable reflections on the fickleness of things, they retire convinced that "all flesh is grass, and all goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field;" that "the works of iniquity shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb," the poor will not find in it a less instructive moral. Consoled by this striking instance of the late attendant on power, far from despising their own condition, far from murmuring at their own indignity, they will be grateful for the poverty which insures tranquility, which is in itself a protection against the mournful ravages of ambition, and the fatal disappointments of inordinate passions. These are some of the advantages which the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the free and the slave, may derive from the refuge which this holy shrine now furnishes to that fallen man. Improve the awful monition; & let none depart without being made wiser and better by what he has this day witnessed.
"Have I then succeeded in effecting your sensibilities in banishing from your hearts every motion of resentment in overcoming every callous and unforgiving sentiment? Have I at last brought you back to humanity? Yes, I cannot doubt it. I read the workings of nature in the afflictions of your countenance; in the tears which flow in such abundance from your eyes.
"Since, then, the flinty rock is converted into a fertile soil, producing the rich and grateful fruit of pity and commiseration, let us hasten to the prince, let us throw ourselves at his feet and implore his clemency: or rather let us with united voice raise our supplications to a good and mercy-loving God; let us intreat him to dispose the heart of the prince to grant a full pardon. Even since this miserable took refuge in our sanctuary a considerable change has taken place. When the military in a body presented themselves to the emperor, exasperated by the excesses of Eutropius, that prince, informed that he had chosen the asylum of the church, endeavored, with all his eloquence, to turn them from their purpose: he represented to them that they should not remember the faults of him against whom their rage was so justly excited, but the good which he had performed. For my part, said he, I esteem him for his good actions; his others I consider as the consequences of human infirmity. When they incessantly urged him to avenge the outraged privileges of imperial majesty, and clamorously vociferated for the life of the criminal, the benevolent monarch, in tears, represented to them the inviolability of the place he had flown to for protection, and at last succeeded in appeasing their fury.
"It remains only that we change our own conduct towards him. Where would you find an excuse, if, when your emperor deigns to forget his personal injuries, you, who have suffered nothing directly, should still remain implacable? Dare you, with an inexorable spirit, address your maker, and say "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them who trespass against us." Eutropius has committed great crimes; has been guilty of great excesses; we pretend not to deny it; but this is a day of mercy not of rigor; it is a day of clemency not of justice; it is a day of compassion and forgiveness not of judgment and condemnation. Let not us, then, abandon ourselves to the guidance of passion; but rather let us beseech the Almighty to prolong the existence of the delinquent, to snatch him from the punishment with which he is threatened, that he may have time to expiate his faults. Let us implore the prince, in the name of the church and altar of Christ, to accord us the pardon of this offender. So far from refusing our request he will

plaud our conduct; God will him- self approve and abundantly recom- pense it; in proportion as he hates and abhors the obdurate and cruel, does he love and cherish the mild and the human; for, as he has declared by the voice of Hosea, he desires mercy and not sacrifice.
Throughout all the scriptures we are taught that God delights in acts of mercy and forgiveness: he has even represented it as the mean of rendering him propitious; "blessed are the mer- ciful for they shall obtain mercy." Let us in this case endeavor to placate the Deity; to honor the church; to merit the praises of a clement prince; to win the applause of a reflecting peo- ple. Thus will the humanity and mo- deration of our city be admired, even in the extremities of the earth; and our conduct be celebrated in every land where the tale shall be related. If we are ambitious of renown among men and of favor with God, let us hasten to throw ourselves at the feet of the emperor; let us exhort, let us con- jure him, to save the life of an un- happy fellow mortal, who supplicates your intercession. Let us shew our- selves in some degree worthy of ob- taining a final pardon for our innu- merable sins, from an often offended Maker, through the goodness and in- tercession of our Lord, Jesus Christ: to whom be glory and dominion, now, henceforth, and forever; Amen!

Extracts from London papers to the 10th of June, received by the British Packet.
LONDON, June 8.
In the house of Commons last night, Mr. Grey repeated his question re- pecting the hope of continental alli- ance, held out in his Majesty's speech. The chancellor of the exchequer in answer, said that it was not in his pow- er to add any thing to what he had stat- ed on a former occasion. Mr. Grey then gave notice, that unless circum- stances occurred in the mean time to render it unnecessary, he should, on Wednesday se'nnight, bring forward a motion on that subject. In the house of Lords, a similar question was asked by Earl Carysfort, and a similar an- swer given by Lord Mulgrave. The noble Earl then gave notice for Thurs- day se'nnight, of a motion to the same effect as that given by Mr. Grey, in the house of commons.
We yesterday mentioned that the captain of a Guernsey privateer had arrived in town with dispatches taken on board a Spanish Packet. On the 14th ult. the Eolus capt. Longhurst, fell in with the Etruria Spanish Pack- et, from St. Sebastian to Vera Cruz. The privateer hoisted French colours and sent a boat on board, the crew of which speaking French imposed on the Spaniards, and induced them to send the mate on board with one of the packages containing part of her dis- patches. The Captain of the Packet was likewise sent for, and then another boat sent from the privateer on board the Spaniard, and the whole dis- patches which lay stowed on the deck were sunk were thus secured. Such at least is the report. The Etruria failed from St. Sebastian's on the 29th April, and the Dispatches are directed to the Governor of Havana. There is a strong suspicion, however, that the dispatches were fabricated on purpose. It is said, that they indicate the West Indies as the destination of the combin- ed squadrons. Government presented the captain of the privateer with one hundred guineas, who certainly made a great sacrifice in quitting his cruise, to perform what he considered a fu- perior duty to the public.
A letter is received from Lord Nel- son, dated at sea three days after he had failed from Lagos Bay. His lord-
ship was making the best of his way af- the combined fleets, and concludes his letter thus; "It is true we are greatly inferior in ships to the enemy, but I should count it the happiest moment of my life to have an opportunity of trying my strength with him."

A letter from Milan, dated 12th May, says—
"Many persons think that Bona- parte is much dissatisfied with the Em- peror of Germany and with the King of Naples, and that the many French troops collected in this country, are not merely for a show. According to the best information, 25,000 French- men are encamped near Marengo, un- der Lasnes; 32,000 occupy Lom- bardy and Mantua, under Jourdan; Menou commands 12,000 in Pied- mont: and St. Cyr 16,000 in the kingdom of Naples. Round the coast of Genoa and Tuscany, and in the Pa- pal territory are quartered 20,000 men; and the regular Italian troops about 15,000. On the other hand Austria has a cordon of troops in Ty- rol, and in the ci-devant Venetian states supposed to amount to 60,000 men daily augmented by arrivals of new corps from the hereditary states; and the Russian and English forces in the Mediterranean are calculated upwards of 20,000. The vicinity of so many and numerous armies cause alarms and speculations not favorable to the desires of the wishes for peace, though the general opinion is that this year will pass over before any blows are struck on the Continent."
Yesterday the King reviewed all the New Corps, except the 3d, which has been already reviewed by his Majes- ty along with the three regiments of the Honorable East India company's Volunteers. The Honorable Artiller- y company took the right of the right brigade, and the 2d Loyal London on the left; the 1st Loyal London had the first post of honor in the 2d brigade; and the 6th Loyal London (or Bi- shopsgate corps) with their Yagers, the second. General the Earl of Harring- ton commanded the whole, under him the Brigade Generals Layard and Bur- rard.
Died about two months since, lieut. Richard Tickell, of the Phoebe fri- gate, in an attempt to cut out some French gun-boats on the coast of Sar- dinia. This gallant youth was the eldest son of Richard Tickell, Esq. one of his majesty's commissioners of the stamps, author of the celebrated pamphlet "Anticipation," and other works of great taste and genius. The merits of this much lamented young officer was early taken notice of by earl St. Vincent, under whom he had served in various successful engage- ments, and was deservedly promoted by that noble earl when first lord of the admiralty. Lieut. Tickell was nephew to R. B. Sheridan, Esq. M. P. and fir Robert Barclay, bart. M. P.
NEW-BURYPOR, July 26.
Mr. Harrod mentions, in addition to the information given in our last, that he learnt at Syracuse, that general Eatton, who was then in the vicinity of Alexandria, in concert with the ex- bathaw, were going against Tripoli with an army of twenty thousand Arabs.— he also learnt that the American squa- dron would commence their operations about the 1st of July, when our "small- est competent force" will no doubt do all in their power to subdue this her- etofore unconquerable race of Barbari- ans.

MONDAY, August 5.
A private letter from a respectable and intelligent gentleman at Cadiz, to his friend in New-York, states that he had received a confidential communi- cation from Madrid, which left no doubt that a rupture, on the part of Spain with the United States, was in- tended, and that the capture of the American gun-boat in the bay of Gib- raltar, was an aggression of studied insult.
A gentleman of this town (says the Bolton Repertory) has favored us with an extract of a letter from New-Bed- ford, dated the 28th inst. by which it appears that the Washington , captain Howland, had arrived at that port in 43 days from Cadiz. This was the ship in which it has been reported that gen. Moreau would take passage for Ameri- ca; but, adds the letter, gen. Moreau does not leave Spain this season.

Highway Robbery!
1500 Dollars Reward.
YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on a road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to the Institution, which he was taking to Alexandria, for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages—among which were
 1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars  1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500  1 ditto of the same for 500  1 ditto of the same for 450  1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents. 
A Check of the Union Bank, on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higinbotham, Cashier in favor of Greenham and Deveraux, by them endorsed and by Benjamin Stoddert, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia of different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is now hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are informed, the man who perpetrated the act, is of middle stature, good countenance, and had a general appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, nankeen pantaloon, shoes, and a black hat; he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will probably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER: and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion for any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and interest will be made to obtain his PARDON.
