FROM THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
The following "Morcean," we hope will prove interesting to most of our readers, as a relief from the uniformity of Commercial news, or Political disquisition. It is worthy the attention of the rational and the grave.
MORALS.
(PARTLY ORIGINAL & PARTLY SELECTED.)
"O, Happiness!—our being's end and aim. POPE.
It is impossible for the attentive observer to mingle in the walks of social life, without often meeting with many of that class of beings who have every reason to be satisfied with their lot, but who are unhappy, though possessed of the means of happiness—with persons who have bread enough, and to spare—who have raiment in the greatest abundance—who have rest enough, and more than enough—who have time for attention to intellectual and moral pursuit, but who consume that time in contemplating with envy, situations in society higher than their own, equally unessential to their happiness and inaccessible to their steps.
A little reflection would cure such persons of an error so irrational. If they viewed the subject in a just point of light, they would perceive that all pleasure is a relative thing: that which is luxury to one to whom it is new, is none to him who enjoys it daily. The continual recurrence of the highest sensual gratifications, will soon reduce them to a level with the lowest.
He who is in possession of an easy sufficiency, and able to command a series of plain and humble pleasures, is chargeable with a groundless envy, when he suffers it to be excited by the more refined but ordinary indulgencies of persons in superior stations.
Continual repetition wears away the relish of all sensual pleasures, and gradually dulls the liveliest delights into flat and insipid sensation. That landscape which fills the traveller with rapture, is regarded with indifference by him who sees it every day. The sweetest sounds which art can combine, lose much of their effect upon an ear which is perpetually listening to melody. The cordial that exhilarates the sober is but a "cup of cold water to one who is accustomed to intemperance; and the softest couch into which languor ever sunk, is only a seat to them who never recline upon one less soft. The poor, when contemplating the situation of the rich, have no idea of their cares or troubles—they see the world smiling on them—they see one continued sunshine of prosperity settling on their house—they behold not a single cloud passing over their head—their situation is all serenity, and so they suppose must be their sensations—"they are not, say they, in trouble like other men, neither are they plagued like other men." This however is a great mistake. In trouble they are like other men, and in equal trouble, but it is of a different nature. From the superb pavilions of pleasure—from the splendid villas of grandeur—from elysian shades, and stately palaces, the loudest sighs have been heard, and the most frequent explosions of the instrument of death.
To be happy is not to lie relaxed, outstretched upon the ground, to repose among roses and lilies, to be lulled into drowsy pleasure upon the lap of ease, or, footed by the sounds of sweetest melody. To be happy, is "to be up and doing"—It is to be intensely and virtuously busy—It is to have the heart as full of hope and object, and the hand of occupation, as each can hold—It is to be engaged, to be elevated, to be quickened into lively life, and wound up to high sensation. After such excitement, sweet is ease and rest; but without previous exertion, repose soon degenerates into pain. None are so restless as those who always rest; those whom "Sloth casts into her deepest sleep," depression plunges into her darkest pit. Melancholy is as inseparable from motionless man, as feculence from water that is stagnant, or rust from steel that is unused.
On the eminences of life, and amid scenes of indolence and pleasure, have thousands of unhappy beings found the pit of despair, and in the midst of redundant possessions been reduced to the extremity of need. They have wanted no particular possession; they have wanted without being able to specify their want; they have wanted, in one all-voluminous word, they have wanted HAPPINESS. 'Tis not poverty in rags that calls most loudly for our compassion, it is poverty with purple on her shoulders that is most to be pitied.
From the former, industry may extricate or charity relieve: or if neither of these bring relief, Death, the wretch's last friend, must afford it. But the necessity which grows out of excess is without hope of remedy; humanity holds out her helping hand in vain; she cannot reach it; it is a gloom, which prosperity has no ray in all its orb that can disperse; it is a sadness, which no smile of the world can cheer; it is a famine, which can find no food in the compass of nature, yet is cursed with life and capable of longevity. Let him then who is anxiously demanding, "who will show me any good?" turn his eye inward on the moral and intellectual qualities that lie folded up in his own bosom—there he will find that hidden treasure, whose value is above diamonds—there will he find that gem of great price, whose splendors will exist and shine, when those of the sun shall be sunk in never-ending night.
LONDON, May 2.
The restrictions laid by the French Executive upon the import of British Manufactures into the territory of the nominal Republic, ill accords with the professed desire of reciprocal harmony and good will. Numerous ships thus laden from the United Kingdoms have been compelled to return with their cargoes; nor has the force of policy or of prejudice stopped here; it has extended to our produce, and though coals are extremely wanted in many parts of France, the people have been precluded from their use, rather than the purchase should tend to our advantage. An instance of this kind, from its distinguished features, and the authority from whence we have received it, deserves to be particularly mentioned. A vessel, laden with coals at Whitehaven, discharged her cargo into the government stores at Bourdeaux, and had nearly shipped her intended quantity of wine for Dublin, when in consequence of an order from Paris, she was compelled to re-land her wine and re-ship her coals, with which she sailed, instead of her destined cargo: the officers of the port observing, that France possessed within herself every necessary for the people, and that the government was resolved to call forth and to protect their energy, by the establishment of a rigid adherence to prohibitory regulations.
By private letters from the Continent, we learn, that the news of the opening of the Scheldt has created universal dismay throughout Holland.
The emperor of Russia continues to take the most lively concern in the fate of the King of Sardinia. The unfortunate sovereign has made some very affecting representations to Alexander I, by the Count de Valaïse, the Sardinian Minister, resident at Petersburg; the consequence of which has been, the Count Markow, the Russian ambassador at Paris, who had requested his recall, has been ordered to remain at his post.
The late Chargé d'Affaires of the King of Sardinia, at Paris, who resided there under the title of Russian Secretary of Legation, and whom the police were about to treat as a suspected person, has, by express order of the Russian Monarch, formally entered the imperial service. Of this event, Count Markow has given official notice to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Our naval force in commission has already been reduced to 95 sail of the line, 18 ships of 50 guns, 170 frigates, and 243 smaller vessels, very many of which are to be immediately paid off. Economy is not only commendable, but necessary, provided it is not carried too far.
We have the pleasure in being able to state, that accounts have been received from Otaheite highly favorable, and such as to induce sanguine hopes of the complete fulfilment of the objects of the Missionaries. Since the desertion of part of the body, the rest have resided at Matavia, where they have acquired a knowledge of the language, and conciliated general affection & esteem. Among many instances which are mentioned, of the favor in which they are held by the Savages, is, that the day after the birth of a son to the Rev. Mr. Henry, he was visited by Pomarree, who adopted the infant, and gave to him the name of Toecree dahai (the great chief.)
May 3.
The measure of the amnesty in favor of the Emigrants, seems to meet with the approbation of almost every circle we have fallen in with. It is as complete as perhaps could have been expected after so entire and sweeping a Revolution, which presented no common point at which those
who promoted, and those who opposed it, could ever meet. It is with relation to the circumstances and the time, therefore, not upon abstract principles, that the measure is to be judged. In many respects the Chief Consul has shewn a disposition, in spite of many obstacles, to repair the injustice, and cancel the crimes of former eras. If in the opinion of any he has not done ALL that was desirable, it may fairly be said that he has generally done all that was possible. He can no more repair all the sufferings which the revolution has occasioned to individuals, than he can recal the past, and undo every thing that has been done for the last fourteen years.
A letter from Strasburgh announces the arrival in that city M. M. Morres, an Irishman, who had been arrested at Hamburg with Napper Tandy. He is on his way to Paris, to thank the First Consul, to whom he is indebted for his liberty.
Another partial revolution has taken place in the Canton of Berne. During the absence of the Chief Landamman, the Petty Council taking advantage of the assemblage of a mob, declared the country in danger, and abolished the Senate. Of these proceedings the French Minister has spoken in terms of approbation.
On Thursday the following curiosities were landed at the Dock Yard, Portsmouth, from the Scipio, Capt. Pendy, from Egypt, viz. Head of the Theban ram, which is supposed to be above two thousand years old; Cleopatra's coffin, a statue of Scipio of white marble, and one of Marcus Aurelius do. two papyrus from Grand Cairo; head of a figure, which is said to be eighty feet high; and a number of Egyptian deities, &c.
Mr. Cobbett has published the following, respecting the persons who broke his windows in Pall-mall, on the illumination. He says their names are—Charles Beloe (son of the rev. William Beloe) a clerk in the general post-office, Charles Wagstaff, another clerk in the general post-office; John Harwood, a sort of amanuensis to the rev. William Beloe; John Parnel, an excise officer, Samuel Wise, a servant to a brush maker, at Aldgate; William Harvey, nothing at all. Four or five, he says, are in the pay of government.
PARIS, April 24.
The following is the speech of Regnier, counsellor of state, on presenting to the conservative senate, the bill of the act of Amnesty, concerning the emigrants, explaining the ground of that act:—viz.
CITIZENS SENATORS,
"A multitude of individuals are still inscribed upon the list of emigrants, and experience has shewn, that in continuing to proceed by the way of individual erasures which is necessarily slow, years, would be exhausted before the fate of so many thousands of men could be decided.
"Meanwhile, suffering from the law, and in painful uncertainty of their future, fate, the individuals on the list, wandering in a foreign land, or obliged to conceal themselves in France are devoted to a despairing state of nonentity, to which they foresee no end. Besides the numerous families to which they are bound by the relation in kindred, alliance or interest, associated in some sort with their fate, feel in their social transactions, in their alliances, & in almost all their domestic arrangements distress, and inconveniences, which have for several years agitated and tormented them; government has thought that the time was at length arrived to put an end to such a state of things which imperious conjunctures formerly commanded, but which ought to end with them. —The most efficacious mode of attaining this almost generally desired object, is to substitute in the place of the extremely tedious mode of partial erasures, another which shall be at once the most expeditious and most worthy of the national magnanimity. Amnesty was defined in all times to efface political crimes, when at the end of civil troubles circumstances allow to replace severity by indulgence.
"Would that the amnesty of this day pronounced with a few exceptions only, the general erasure of the persons inscribed, upon the list of emigrants! A government powerful and strong, respected with in and without, may use clemency without danger. What would be, in effect, the frantic audacity which would attempt to turn against it that clemency which is the most manifest proof of its strength! We add, that no time could be better chosen for this great act of lenity than the ever memorable era when peace is restored to Europe, quiet to consciences, and when the public happiness
seated upon a durable basis, inclines all hearts to indulgence an oblivion of the past. That indulgence must, however, have its bounds, and the act of amnesty which we transmit to you in the name of government, makes to the general grace which it grants, some exception, which, no doubt, you, like it, will judge indispensable. This grace is further accompanied by another precaution which applies not only to the individuals comprised in the amnesty, but also to those whose definitive erasure does not go back beyond the 10th of October, 1801. Government has judged necessary that all these individuals should remain under special superintendence until that period, when a prudent conduct supported for a length of time, shall have furnished on their part a sufficient security for the public tranquility. It is moreover necessary, that the return of the persons included in the amnesty to France, should not be marked by indiscreet repetitions, by hazarded pretensions, by proceedings which might tend to trouble the repose of the citizens, who have treated with the nation under the security of the public faith, and who have reckoned upon the inviolability of the acts which emanated from its power. With these precautions, the amnesty, commanded at once by the national grandeur, by the wish of humanity, and the just confidence which the government ought to have in its strength, will present nothing that could give just cause of inquietude. You will judge, no doubt, also, citizen Senators, that this act presents nothing that does not conciliate with the spirit of the constitution, of which you are the faithful guardians, and you will lose no time to render it more solemn and more august by converting it into a Senatus Consultum ."
NEW-YORK, June 22.
Yesterday arrived here the British Packet Lady Hobart, capt. Fellows, from Falmouth via Halifax. She sailed from Falmouth the 10th of May.
By the Packet we have received London papers to the 8th ult. which contain but few articles of moment.
Capt. Wormely, of Virginia, and Mr. C. F. Green, from Hamburg, came passengers.
We are informed by a passenger in the Packet, that the prevailing opinion in England was, that the Grenville party would soon prevail, and that Pitt would shortly go into office again as prime minister—That the present administration was daily growing more unpopular, and that new troubles were anticipated. Trade was extremely dull, and a general gloom damped the spirits of all classes.
In the British House of Commons the 6th May, in discussing the Definitive Treaty, Mr. Ellicott took a view of the accession to French power, in the acquisition of Louisiana, which, by giving them a dominion over the river Mississippi, invested them with a dangerous influence over the North American States, particularly Kentucky, which was known not to be much attached to the Union, and which, from the connection of its trade with the Mississippi, it would not, perhaps, be difficult for French intrigue to seduce from the Federal Union, and attach to Louisiana.—The Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving, "That an address should be presented to His Majesty, praying that a copy of the treaty concluded at Badajoz, between France and Portugal should be laid before the House."
Arrived, Ship Mary, Hudson, St. Peter's; Vigilantia, Myer, Hamburg; British Packet, Lady Hobart, Fellow, Schooner Hiram, Savannah.
Cleared, brig Echo, Webb, Martinique; Sally, Morland, Malaga; Washington; Glover, Malaga; Apollo, Lee, Jamaica; Schooner Ann, Adams, New Providence; La-Impudent, Degrauche, St. Domingo; sloop, Jane, Jewell, St. Thomas.

April 11, arrived at Elsinore Roads ship Amfield of Boston, but did not speak her. April 9th arrived ship Protectress, Carpenter, 47 days from Charleston; and brig Camelia from Lisbon, belonging to Boston.

TRENTON, June 21. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT! Barnesborough, Gloucester County, June 10th, 1802.
On the 18th instant a melancholy acci- dent took place in this vicinity. Mr. Jeremiah Mahong, being extremely fond of his gun, taking it into his hand laid in a joke to his wife, come out and I will learn you to exercise; upon which she took another gun into her hand that had been, without their knowledge, loaded by her brother in order to shoot some crows, which she carelessly held in her hands, and when she attempted to snap it, unfortunately went off, the whole load entered his head just under his left eye, and went out just behind his right ear, and he fell lifeless at her feet. He was about 23 years of age, and she about 17; they had been married a fortnight the evening before. The dis- tressing scene is not easily described, as an uncommon fondness had subsisted between them. An inquest was held over the bo- dy, and the jury returned their verdict, that his death was occasioned by the acci- dental discharge of a gun in the hands of his wife.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23. The sch'r Adventure, arrived at the Laza- retto in 13 days from C. Francois, failed from thence the 7th inst at which time we learn, perfect tranquility prevailed. The yellow fever raged with unabated malignity. It is said few of the SOLDIERS OF EGYPT have escaped.—Letters from this place, are silent as to the conduct and residence of Touf- saint.
Bonaparte, lays the Centinel, is now exhi- biting one of the most brilliant displays of his penetration and policy.—By act of oblivion, he is inviting into France all the Ex-Nobles, Clergy, Men of Science, Virtue and Wealth, who emigrated during the reign of Jacobins and Vandalism; And at the same time is trans- porting to Louisiana and Madagascar all the democratic insurgents in his dominions. The First Consul well knows that the former will support every well administered government; and that the latter are fit subjects for no other governments.
St. MARY'S (Geo.) June 2. By a gentleman arrived in town last Sunday evening, from the Creek Nation, we are informed, that the noted gen. Bowles has commissioned a privateer under the command of a captain Gib- son, of New-Providence—which privateer cap- tured a Spanish vessel, bound from New-Orleans, to the Ha-annah, loaded with artillery, ammu- nition and flour; which prize arrived in Cata- houche river about the 1st of May, and was condemned by Bowls. The provisions distri- buted amongst his adherents; the privateer was formerly of New-Providence, but now sails un- der Bowles's Muskoggy flag. Captain Gibson was formerly of the Lark privateer, of Prov- idence. We are further informed that Bowles intended an attack on St. Marks, having found two mortars, &c. on board of the prize.
Alexandria Advertiser. FRIDAY, JUNE 25.
Nothing in the whole conduct of our ex- ecutive more clearly evinces the want of even an appearance of decency, than the repeated exertions which have been used to induce Thomas Paine to return to this country.
Mr. Dawson received instructions from Mr. Jefferson, to solicit Paine's acceptance of a passage to the United States in one of the government ships. Paine, however, refused to treat with one who was merely the carrier of orders, and who was with- out either the power or respectability at- tached to a national representative at a for- eign court.
Immediately after Mr. Livingston's ar- rival at Paris, and before he had been pre- sented to the First Consul, he published his "ridiculous letter" to Thomas Paine, and, in the name of our government, made the same offer that his precursor had done. Having received the proper assurances, from a Minister with full powers, Paine concluded to comply with the strong soli-
citations and potent wishes of our chief magistrate, and to embark for this coun- try, early in the month of May, in an American frigate lying at Brest, and which had been ordered there to receive him.
The early conference which our minis- ter had with Paine, and the publication of the letter which he addressed to him, drew from Bonaparte, and other officers of the government, strong expressions of contempt for our country and its repre- sentative; for so perfectly blasted is the reputation of Thomas Paine that, even in Paris, he can associate only with the low- est and vilest of the rabble. True it is, that in a revolutionary state of things he has always found employment, and has been sometimes honored with the attenti- on of distinguished men. His talents were suited to pull down, to overturn, and de- stroy. Originally obliged to abandon his native land, for a commission of gross fraud, he sought refuge in this country, and by engaging warmly in the labors of the revolution, obtained some distinction! but, by a flagrant breach of trust, he for- feited the confidence of every honest and intelligent citizen. In France he became the tool of the regicides, and forgetting the pompous eulogium which he had pre- viously pronounced upon the virtues of the French monarch, joined to inflame the rabble in dragging their sovereign to the scaffold, and erecting the standard of jaco- binism on the ruins of the government.— Of the successive revolutions in that coun- try he was the constant and open advocate and while in originality of mischievous he has approved himself to be without a rival, he was as subservient to the will of his mas- ters as an eastern slave to the nod of his sultan .
The corruptions of his private life are almost without example. His principles have prompted him to labor earnestly for the destruction of every government under which he has lived, and to fever every tie by which man is bound to man. Or- der and law have been the objects of his detestation—He has used every exertion to corrupt the morals of youth, and em- ployed every talent which God has given him, to destroy the foundation of the Christian's hope. His practice has cor- responded with his principles—By daily intoxication he is sunk to a level with the brutes, and his mind and body are exhi- bited as perfectly corrupted by vicious in- dulgence. His blasphemies have ascended to Heaven, and his scoffings at the Savi- our of the Universe challenge the venge- ance of the Almighty. He is now fast sinking into the grave, and, covered with infamy, his last days strikingly exemplify this truth, that the effects of corruption are misery and contempt .
This is the man whom we kindly invite to our shores!!! He it is who is thus distinguished by the marked re- gard of our First Magistrate, and who is again and again strongly solicited, as if it were an object of national interest, to take shelter in our country from the contempt and detestation of the European world—He will bring with him all his lewdness, infidelity, and democracy, and his reception will exhibit the degradation of a people, whose chief rulers scruples not to honor or reverence the man who will labour to promote their interest however flagrant his vices, however en- ormous his crimes." (Gaz. U. S.)
One of the forest evils attending the new-fan- gled system of economy, adopted by the present administration, is not merely that it relaxes and unnerve the hands of government for the pre- sent; but that its effects are likely to be felt for many years to come. In vain will any future administration endeavour to bring the public sentiment to that elevated state in which it ex- isted during the whole Presidency of Washington, and part of that of Adams. The question then was, "what is the true interest of the public, and what the wisest means of accomplishing it?" now, the question is, "what is the nearest road to popularity, and how shall we best promote the interest of our own party?"
Altho' from present appearances there is little probability of this narrow selfish system lasting longer than the existing Presidential term, yet the prospect of a change is clouded by reflecting on the corruption of principle, which the men now in power have introduced. Facilius discen- tus Avonius—The work of destruction is easy but it requires years of toil to build or repair an edifice, which a wicked incendiary in a few hours may reduce to ashes. N. Y. Com. Ad.
FROM A VIRGINIA CORRESPONDENT. TIMOTHY PICKERING AGAIN The readers of this paper are desired to recollect that all which has been said, un- der this head concerning Pickering, has been intended to rescue his character from the aspersions of having defrauded the pub- lic of something towards half a million of dollars. In doing this, it was thought
necessary to shew not only his innocence as to the accusation, but that he had for- borne to make use of advantages, which had fallen in his way, one of which a- mounted to 14,588 dollars. By these means, the whole stock of calumny is an- nihilated. Not one single dollar has been embezzled. Not one dollar is deficient. The United States have gained by his pru- dence, 14,588 dollars, which fall into the great mass of surplus, that his accusers call republican savings, and then cover themselves with the applause, which they ought to have bestowed on him. This is not the end. A new although feeble bat- tery is erected. They now admit that Mr. Pickering has paid all the money to the account of the United States, but that he has applied some of it to purposes other than those for which the money was re- ceived. It is not at present known whe- ther this be the fact, or not; nor is it ma- terial to the defence. Let the allegation be allowed, as it is made; and the case will stand as follows:
Mr. Pickering received 200,000 dolls. for one purpose, and 200,000 dollars for another. In the execution of these duties, the first sum exceeded the purpose for which it was designed, including 14,588 gained in bills of exchange, by 78,588 dollars. The second fell short as much. The whole money being under his controul, and the interest of the country as much at stake in one case as the other, he has taken the o- verplus of the one to fill the deficiency of the other. By these means, he has pro- moted public service, and supported public credit. And it is for this, or something like it, that his character has been attack- ed with a degree of venom and revenge quite unexampled.
The writer of this defence is not only unacquainted with Mr. Pickering, but al- so with the real facts which belong to the case. He has made the foregoing hypo- thetical statement to elucidate the case, upon the data which are alledged by the accusers themselves; and upon these only.
Pause, reader for a moment, and carry back your memory to the time, when the news-prints all groaned with abuse against this person. See to what it has come! and behold how now, it is attempted to torture things, the propriety of which is self evident, into a fresh accusation against him. It would seem that virtue, honour, were to be chaced from the face of the earth, and truth, in order that the opposite quali- ties may prevail.
Mr. Pickering's character, with those who knew him did not want this aid. His name, and these circumstances, have been necessarily used as powerful engines against the frauds, falsehoods, and designs of men, who will perhaps live to see themselves o- verwhelmed with disgrace and detestation. They may hear that people whose confi- dence they have abused, saying with an universal voice, "Go hence, and learn "that, sooner or later, truth and jus- "tice will prevail. Go, and taste the "remorse, which is due to your mis- "deeds."
POSTSCRIPT BY THE EDITORS. Censor Smith! Stand forth. You have promised to detect falsehood, and to correct misrepresentation. You are called upon to publish this, and the preceding commu- nications on the same subject, in your In- telligencer, precisely as they have appar- ed. Full liberty is given you to make what comments or denials, you please. If both go together, the world will be able to form a correct opinion. If you do not this, it will be the height of weakness and effrontery for you to expect that your re- putation for candour will in future be worth a cent. [Callenders' Recorder.]
STATUE OF WASHINGTON. On Wednesday last a resolution passed the house, appropriating a sum not exceed- ing twenty thousand dollars, for the pur- pose of procuring a STATUE IN BRONZE of General GEORGE WASHINGTON. His excellency the Governor is authoriz- ed to carry the resolution into effect, in a manner that shall be thought most appro- priate to the character of the man whose sublime virtues it is intended to perpetuate and most honorable to the State.
It is a subject of pleasing reflection, and much to the honor of our legislature, that this lasting tribute of veneration is about to be paid to the father of his country.— We need not be told that he has already erected a monument
Aere perennius Regalique situ Pyramidum altius: Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens Possit diridere, aut innumeras annis Annorum series, and fuga temporum:
As a reason for omitting this office of gratitude, for in proportion as the force of this sentiment is, will be the desire to pre- serve it, glowing like the vestal fire, by some material exhibition of his character. It is the dictate of nature, it is a senti- ment that ought not, and cannot be sm- othered, that those whom we love and ve- nerate, should be fastened to our hearts by some visible association, when they live to us only in memory.
Our intellect is not yet so pure as to de- mand no communications through the ave- nues of sense; our natural affections are not yet so sublimed as to require no impulses from their proper objects. But the voice of nature, in all ages and countries, is heard in the language of the poet.
Yet on these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh; With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh."
It is therefore an unnatural refinement, a species of metaphysical depravity, that would cut asunder those threads of tender visible association, and leave us the mere creatures of abstraction. We are sensible that these ideas, however just, may be perverted: but we trust there is necessity of discriminating, at this time, between a superstitious veneration; and the natural expression of the best feelings of the heart.
As the proposed monument is altogether a work of taste, no limitations were im- posed as to its form, structure, devices or ornaments; but it was properly left with the governor to consult with European artists, and to adopt such as should be thought most expressive of the character... This is the subject for the fancy of a Fuseli, the strongest expressions of an An- gelo, and the sublime conceptions of a Raphael. (Boston pap.)

THE PROPRIETORS. June 9. dotzaw
PROPOSALS, Respectfully submitted to the consideration of the citizens of the District of Colum- bia, and the public generally, for pub- lishing by subscription in George-Town, A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, TO BE ENTITLED The Olio. By B. PARKS and Co.
IT is within the plan of the Editors of this paper, that its contents shall comport with its title: a compound of various ingredients—as po- litics, news, polite literature; with whatever else may seem most promotive of public good, and conduce towards general usefulness.
No where, perhaps, have the beneficial effects of periodical publications been more generally felt, or duly appreciated, than in this country; and no where, we believe, their abuses might be more justly deprecated; but such is the close af- finity between their good and bad consequences, be- tween the liberty and licentiousness of the press, that the most experienced of our political sur- geons have uniformly been apprehensive of attempt- ing an excision of the one, lest they might give a mortal wound to the other. Being an evil with- out a remedy, it shall be our peculiar care not to contribute to its aggravation.
The temper of the times require an avowal of the Editors' political creed. On this head they will be candid and sincere.—They are unequiv- ocally federal.—Believing, without calling into question the views of the present, that the former administrations pursued the best policy that could be devised, for securing the peace and happiness, and promoting the true interests of this country, they declare it their intention, at all times, to advocate measures producing those desirable consequences.
We have ever held the conduct of many of the opposers of the former administrations, in their newspaper publications, in the utmost, and we think, merited contempt. Wilful misrepresen- tations may deceive for a while, and thereby fur- ther the views of those who employ such means; but it is not by resorting to them, that we hope or intend to promote our own interest, much less that of the public. Towards our political op- ponents we will do as we would be done by— consequently, not attempt to repel the reiterated calumnies, yet heaped upon those no longer in power, by a recrimination of slander on those who now hold the helm of our political barque. Time will show who best understood their coun- try's interest, and will bring with it the most ample justification of the views of those to whom under Providence, we have been, and are in- debted for our present prosperity and tranquility.
Private disputes and personalities shall always be excluded. To this promise the Editors pledge themselves they will religiously adhere.
The papers published at present in the district, being devoted almost entirely to one subject, Po- litics, the Editors entertain a hope that THE OLIO , conducted on liberal principles, and con- taining a greater diversity of matter, will meet with public countenance; which they respectfully folicit.
CONDITIONS. This paper will be published every Thursday morning, in a quarto form, and on a sheet of royal size, which will form a handsome volume, annually, of 416 pages, printed with a new and elegant type.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, payable on the receipt of the first number.
It will be delivered at the dwellings of subscribers in Alexandria, every evening of the day of publication, free of any addi- tional expense.
The subscriber informs his friends in Alexandria, and for- mer patrons of the "Columbian Mirror," that he is concerned in the intended publication abovement- ioned, and will, in the course of a day or two, wait upon those in town for their signatures.

Forty Dollars Reward. Stop the Villain!
Ran away from the subscriber in the month of December last, a likely Negro man, named BEN , 26 years of age, of a dark complexion, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high; has a small scar under one of his eyes (which not recollected) also a large one on his breast, occasioned by a burn when a child, and has lost two of his fore teeth. His clothing is unknown to me, as he has been hired to Mr. John Hodg- skin, of Alexandria, for three years past as a ferry man, and believe him to be har- bored in or about Alexandria or the city of Washington, by a brother of his (named Helson) who also served the said Hodg- skin as a ferry-man at the same time, and whom the said Hodgskin has lately eman- cipated. The above reward will be paid to any person who delivers me the above described villain in the town of Colches- ter, or Thirty Dollars , if secured in any jail in Maryland or Virginia.
All masters of vessels and others are for- bid to harbor or carry off said fellow at their peril.
