HUMANITY AND GRATITUDE.
IN the reign of Queen Anne, of England, no courtier was more caressed than the noble Butler, Duke of Ormond. Among other honors conferred upon him, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; and in sailing with his attendants from Chester to Dublin, was overtaken by a violent storm, which drove them on the rocks of Anglesea, where they were wrecked. His Grace and part of his companions with difficulty saved their lives by swimming to the land.
The part of the island where they came on shore was cold, barren and uncultivated; they travelled up some miles through a desert, and the first house they arrived at was the humble cottage of a poor curate. It was small, and indifferently furnished, as every one would expect from the poverty of the place and a very scanty salary.
But the humanity and open-hearted hospitality of the curate and his wife made amends for all. Having kindled up a generous fire, they dried the garments of their weather-beaten guests, set before them the best fare their house afforded, and lodged them as they were able; and here they tarried till the storm was over.
Ormond was as much affected with the kind reception he had met with, as he was entertained with the peaceful contentment which reigned in this humble abode. He inquired the name of his host, which was Joseph R——. He asked some questions respecting his circumstances; and on his departure promised to remember him: his secretary at the same time gave the curate directions where he might find his guests if ever he should come to Dublin.
We are now to follow the noble Duke to his government, where that soon befel him, which has happened to many others in similar situations. Variety of business, pleasures and amusements, dissipated from his mind the remembrance of his humble generous benefactor, and the promise he had made him.
The curate waited long to hear from the Duke, but in vain. At length, roused by his wife, he resolved to push his fortune; and having equipped himself as decently as he could, set off for the Irish metropolis.
Though obscurely stationed, he was known to the dean as a man of no contemptible abilities, and of course was introduced to preach in the cathedral where the Duke attended, with many of the nobility of the kingdom, and other persons of figure and distinction.
He had prepared a sermon to the purpose, and this was his text:—Gen. xl. 23. "Yet did not the Chief Butler remember Joseph, but forgot him." He scourged, as his text naturally led him, upon the sin of ingratitude, which he painted in lively colours, especially the ingratitude of the great and affluent, in forgetting the friendly offices they might, one time or other, have received from persons in humble life. He observed, however, that this negligence might arise not so much from innate depravity of heart, as from particular causes; from deep engagement in business; from the amusement and dissipation of high life; perhaps from the many solicitations of mercenary sycophants, ever pressing to be heard.
He came to his application, and asked his honorable audience, whether some among them had not, in the vicissitude of human affairs, received important offices of friendship from people in far humbler circumstances, but blest with generous hearts; and whether they had, in no instance, forgotten such kindness, instead of rewarding it tenfold.
He brought up the case of shipwreck, where the affluent have often been dependent on the poor, and led his hearers each to put the question to himself, "Was I ever in my life exposed to the rage of the merciless elements, where all nature seemed to conspire my destruction? Did I ever see my companions buried in the devouring deep, and myself brought safe to land with a surviving few? And did any poor, but contented man, with his kind-hearted wife, receive me with my shipwrecked associates, and warm and comfort us to the utmost of their power, and wished to have done much more; and never suffer us to depart, till serene skies and genial sunshine prepared our way? And have I suffered such benevolence to go unnoticed and unrequited, and my benefactors to remain, perhaps to languish, under the pressure of friendless poverty?"
Ormond was all attention; and his heart smote him, when, on a closer examination of the features and countenance of the preacher, he recognized his generous landlord of Anglesea. Turning to his secretary, is this not our honest friend Joseph? said the Duke. I believe it is, replied the secretary. Upon this, orders were instantly given to invite him to dine.
When he came to the Duke's presence, he frankly confessed to him, though not without a modest blush or two, that he thought he had one opportunity in his life, to put him in mind of his promise, and had embraced it. You are a deserving, honest man, replied his Grace—and ordered an immediate enquiry into the vacancies of the church. A living of three hundred pounds a year was found vacant; and to this his lordship at once advanced him.
But how short-lived is human power! and how sudden, many times the transitions of fortune! At the accession of George I. Ormond was divested of all his honors, fled from a capital impeachment, and his whole fortune was seized by the crown. For some time the liberality of his friends supported him, but he ultimately fell into real poverty.
His old friend Joseph now remembered him. This grateful man, hearing of the Duke's misfortune, settled upon him, with the free consent of his wife, two hundred a year out of the three hundred which the Duke in his better days, had settled upon them. A first year's salary was accordingly remitted to their benefactor.
Surprized at this liberality, his Grace wrote a particular detail of it to a nobleman at court, who, though a zealous partisan of another faction maintained with him an inviolable friendship.
By his interest, Joseph was promoted to a living of five hundred a year; and would now have rejoined to make a generous addition to the Duke's support: But Ormond in the mean time, had retired to that country.
"From whence borne No traveller returns!" And Joseph could relieve no more the misfortunes of his noble patron.

We are happy to remark that the Kine Pox inoculation is progressing in Boston, and its neighbouring towns to entire satisfaction. President Jefferson has written to Doctor Waterhouse, that he is inoculating his domestics with it, and encouraging the neighborhood of Monticello to follow his example. He speaks of it as the most important discovery ever made in the history of the healing art.

NEW-BEDFORD, Sept. 25. NEW-ISLAND. Extract from the logbook of the ship Diana, Jared Gardner, master, arrived here last week from Manila. On the passage, off, ——, Jan. 3 1801,
lat. by obs. co 17, S. long. 167, 13, E. at 5 A. M. saw land E. by N. 12 N. distance 4 or 5 leagues, of a moderate height, rather highest in the middle, and the ends gradually sloping down to the water. It appeared to be about four leagues from North to South. We saw smokes in two or three places, which gave us reason to suppose it was inhabited. Being near the latitude of Byron's island, we thought this might be that Island, though by our calculation we were some degrees to the west of it, but from the course we afterward steered, and our not making the islands, which lie to the northward of it, renders it impossible for it to be Byron's island, and not finding it laid down in any of our eastern charts, we consider it as a new discovery, and as such have named it Rodman's Island. We placed it in lat. 1, 00, S. and in long. 168. 48, E. by lunar obs. two days after making it.
SALEM, Sept. 25. NEWS FROM INDIA.
Yesterday arrived the ship Active, capt. Nichols from Madras who has favoured us with the following intelligence; That an overland dispatch arrived at Madras about the 2d of May, with the account of a rupture between Great-Britain and the Northern powers of Europe; in consequence of which, all the ships in the roads, under Danish colours, were immediately seized to the number of six or seven; and Tranquebar taken possession of by the British on the 11th and Sarampour on the 14th of May—that a great number of the country ships were taken up by the government to be employed as transports upon a formidable but secret expedition, which sailed principally from Bombay, about the 1st of March, having on board, as it was said, 10,000 European troops, but attended by no more ships of war than were sufficient to convoy the transports—that at the time he left Madras, it was generally supposed though not publicly known, that this expedition was destined up the Red Sea, to act against the French in Egypt—that the natives near Cape Comorin seized on this as a favorable opportunity, had revolted, and in one or two rencounters had gained advantages over the British opposed to them, but that it was expected that the disturbances would soon be settled.

A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, to an officer in this garrison, mentions, that a person in a dreadful fit of insanity, having possessed himself of a match, went to the house of a poor woman, in which were three children, and split their skulls in a most shocking manner.—The mother hearing the cries of her children, ran to their assistance, and shared the same fate. This unhappy wretch was at length disarmed by Col. Hattin; but not before he had dangerously wounded nine persons, six of which were dead, when the vessel in which the letter came, left St. John's.

VIENNA, Aug. 4. Yesterday morning a courier arrived here from Lord Elgin, at Constantinople, to the British Ambassador, Lord Minto; and in the afternoon the latter made known the official account that the town and forts of Cairo, and all the French troops that lay there partly in garrison, partly in intrenchments, had given themselves up on capitulation to the combined Turkish and British forces. The French troops are made prisoners of war, and will be transported to France. The joy of the inhabitants on the signing of the capitulation cannot be described—and had it not been for the presence of the British, the people had committed the most barbarous outrages upon the French prisoners of war.
Since the middle of June already, the Grand Vizier, with the assistance of Gen. Hutchinson, had surrounded Cairo, and the remaining parts of the combined force had approached the forts and threatened them with storm. The French, however, observing the superiority of force against them, soon concluded quietly to lay down their arms.
The number of prisoners is stated to be 5000, amongst whom are many Greeks, Armenians, &c.
In consequence of this capitulation, all Upper and Lower Egypt have fallen into the hands of the Turks and English—the French retain nothing more of Egypt but the town of Alexandria.
After the entrance of the Grand Vizier

into Cairo, that general, together with the English, had determined to draw all the force they could spare towards Alexandria — and it was expected that general Menou would soon follow the example of his comrades at Cairo, and endeavour to obtain a decent capitulation.
HAMBURG, Aug. 11.
To-day we have received the ordinary post from Constantinople, with letters to the 10th of July. These (which do not come down to late as the above courier account) mention, that the scarcity of water in Alexandria had already come to such a pitch, that the soldiers received each but one boker of water a day. Much heavy artillery had been ordered to Cairo. Gen. Hutchinson had received a fresh reinforcement of 7000 English troops.

From late London papers.
LONDON, August 15. By private letters from Vienna, we are assured the English cabinet has prevailed on the House of Austria not to disarm till a general peace be effected: and that our government in return, will assist upon the modification of the treaty of Luneville. The negotiation on this subject has been carried on through Thugut, and it is upon this business he has or late had so many interviews with the Emperor.
The negotiation, or correspondence between Lord Hawkesbury and M. Otto, is surely protracted to an uncommon length: whatever may be the issue, we have a right to expect a very voluminous publication on the subject.
We learn from Buffalo, that the great Granary in Old Cairo was very sparingly stored at the time the enemy were driven into that city, as great quantities of grain had been taken away, and sent into various parts. This is a very spacious place, and surrounded by a square wall. Formerly the tribute which used to be paid to the Grand Seignor in corn was laid up at this place, which is called Joseph's Granary.
Remarkable Character. Mr. Guy, the founder of the noble Hospital that bears his name in Southwark, was as remarkable for his private parsimony as his public munificence. He invariably dined alone, and a foiled proof sheet, or an old newspaper, was his constant substitute for a table-cloth. It is recorded of him, that as he was one winter evening sitting in his room, meditating over a handful of half lighted embers confined within the narrow precincts of a brick stove, and without a candle, a person who came to enquire for him was introduced, and after the first compliments were passed, and the guest requested to take a seat, Mr. Guy lighted a farthing candle, and desired to know the purport of the gentleman's visit. The visitor was the famous Vulture Hopkins, immortalized by Pope in the lines —
"When Hopkins dies, a thousand lights attend The wretch, that living, saw'd a candle's end."
I have been told, says Hopkins, that you, sir, are better versed in the prudent and necessary art of saving, than any man now living, and I therefore wait upon you for a lesson of frugality; an art in which I used to think I excelled; but I am told by all that know you, that you are greatly my superior — "And is that all you come about? (said Guy) why, then, we can talk this matter over in the dark;" so saying, he, with great deliberation, extinguished his new lighted farthing candle. Struck with this instance of economy, Hopkins acknowledged himself convinced of the other's superior thrift, and took his leave.
August 16. A considerable degree of alarm lately pervaded our new conquests in India, by the intended introduction of European laws into Mysore; the British government has, in consequence, deemed it necessary to declare, that the rights of father's and masters of families, as exercised by the Hindu and Mahomedan laws, are to be preserved to them; and that any act, sanctioned by the rules or laws of Cast, so far as respects the members of the same family only, is not to be deemed a crime, or cognizable by any criminal court of justice, although it be not justifiable by the laws of England.
Maidstone affrays have elapsed without the trial of the celebrated miss Robertson of Blackheath, as predicted by the newspapers. The truth is, that the lady is still in Huntingdon Gaol; none of her frauds having amounted to what is criminal in legal sense. She certainly did give herself a false character; and she by so doing has certainly obtained credit: but from
the criminal code, as it now stands, her creditors have no retribution to expect. Marquis Cornwallis has assembled at Colchester and its vicinage 8000 infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and 30 pieces of field ordnance, with howitzers, &c.

PROPOSALS, By Warner & Hanna, For publishing by Subscription, Six Volumes of SELECT PLAYS, To be entitled, The American Theatre. CONDITIONS.
 1. The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a superior fine wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work.  2. The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per volume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents.  3. No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given.  4. The first volume will consist of the following much admired plays— Caste Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing.  5. The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giving place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of sentiment, and elegance of diction; and no expense withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America.  When it is considered that the American public have never as yet been supplied, from a press in this country, of a set of well selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational sentiment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, amuse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exertions will meet with encouragement. Subscriptions are received at the office of the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.

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

The first of those is nearly all bottom: the second lies well for cultivation, is in an excellent neighborhood, well timbered, with good never failing water, and both have a delightful range to stock, particularly hogs. The titles are indisputable. A good bargain may be had of those and other lands in that state! I have also for sale, a share in the Potomac Company, and a small annuity in the town of Alexandria. A good waggon and team, and good brood mare, with a colt, and in foal.
