LETTER OF GENERAL MOREAU TO THE FIRST CONSUL.
Temple, 7th Ventose, Year 12.
A month has nearly elapsed since I am detained as an accomplice of Georges and Pichegru, and perhaps, I am detained to appear before the tribunals to exonerate myself from the crime of an attempt against the safety of the state, and the chief of the government.
I was far from thinking, that after having passed through the revolution and the war, exempt from the least reproach of incivism and of ambition; and especially when, at the head of the great victorious armies, I might have had the means of gratifying those passions, that it would be at a moment when, living as a simple citizen, occupied with my family, and seeing a very small number of friends, I should be accused of such folly. No doubt but my former connections with General Pichegru have given rise to this accusation.
Before speaking in my justification, permit me, General, to go back to the source of that connexion, and I doubt not but I can convince you that the intercourse which one may preserve with an ancient chief and an ancient friend, though differed in opinion, and having served different parties, is far from being criminal.
Gen. Pichegru came to take the command of the army of the North in the beginning of the year 2—1 then had been general of brigade for about six months. I was fulfilling, ad interim, the functions of divisionary. Satisfied with some successes, and of my disposition at the outset, he fixed by obtained for me the grade I was fulfilling.
On entering upon the campaign, he gave the command of half the army, and entrusted me with most important operations.
Two months before the close of the campaign, his health obliged him to absent himself; government charged me, at his recommendation, with finishing the conquest of part of the Dutch Brabant & of Flanders. After the winter campaign, which rendered us masters of the remainder of Holland, he passed to the army of the Rhine, naming me for his successor; and the national convention entrusted me with the command he had just quitted. One year afterwards I filed his place in the army of the Rhine, he being called to the Legislative Body; and from that time I ceased having frequent intercourse with him.
In the short campaign of the year 5, we took the chest of the general staff of the enemy's army and a great quantity of papers were brought to me, which Gen. Desaix, who then was wounded, amused himself in perusing. It appeared to us, by this correspondence, that Gen. Pichegru had had some connexion with the French Princes.—This discovery gave us much concern, and to me particularly. We agreed to let it be forgotten. Pichegru, in the Legislative Body, could be little injure the public safety that peace was assured. I however, took some precautions for the safety of the army, in regard of an espionage that might be hurtful to it. These researches, and the decyphering, were confided to the hands of different persons.
The events of the 18th Fructidor were rumoured; the uneasiness was great; in consequence of which two officers who had knowledge of this correspondence engaged me to give notice to government; and gave me to understand that it was becoming public, and that at Strasbourg they were preparing to inform the Directory thereof.
I was a public functionary, and could not preserve a longer silence; but, without addressing myself directly to government, I wrote of it in confidence to the Director Barthelemi, one of its members, requesting his opinion, and telling him that these papers, although genuine, were not sufficient judicial proof; as none of them were signed, and nearly the whole written in cyphers.
My letter arrived in Paris a few moments after citizen Barthelemi's arrest; and the directory, to whom it was restricted, required of me the papers I had mentioned.
Pichegru went to Cayenne, and returned afterwards to Germany and England; I had no connexion with him. A short time after the peace with England
M. David, uncle of Gen. Southam, who had passed a year with him in the army of the North, wrote me that Pichegru was the only one of the Fructidorians not returned; and he mentioned that he was surprised to hear that it was upon my opposition alone that you refused to permit his return to France. I replied to M. David, that so far from opposing, I would make it a duty to demand it. He communicated my letter to several persons, and I have the political assurance, that this demand has been made to you.
Sometime afterwards, M. David wrote to me that he had enjoined Pichegru to ask you himself for his recall; but that he had answered, he would not demand it without the certainty of its being granted. Above all, he charged him to thank me for the answer I had made to the imputation of being opposed to his return; that he had never thought me capable of such an act; and that he even knew that in the affair of the correspondence of Klinglin, I had found myself in a very delicate situation. M. David again wrote me three or four insignificant letters upon the subject. Since his arrestation he wrote to me requesting I would take some steps in his favour. I was very sorry that my distance from government would not permit me to enlighten your justice in that respect, and I doubt not but it would have been easy to remove the prejudice you might have received. I heard no more of Pichegru but very indirectly, and by persons whom the war obliged to return to France. From that period to this, during the first campaigns in Germany, and since the peace, he has made distant overtures to me, to know if it would be possible to draw me into a coalition of the French Princes. I found all this ridiculous, that I did not even reply to these overtures.
As to the actual conspiracy, I can equally assure you that I am far from having taken the smallest part in it. I acknowledge to you that I am at a loss to conceive how a hand of scattered men could hope to effect a change in the state, and to replace upon the throne a family, which the efforts of all Europe, aided by civil war, could not succeed in accomplishing; and that, above all, I should be so unreasonable by concurring to lose the fruits of all my labour, which would have ensured me perpetual reproaches.
I repeat to you, General, whatever proposition has been made to me, I have rejected, and have considered it as the basest of all follies; and that when the chances of a descent upon England have been represented to me as favourable to a change of government, I have answered that the Senate was the authority to which all Frenchmen would yield obedience in case of trouble; and that I should be the first to submit to its orders.
Such overtures made to me, an isolated citizen, not wishing to preserve any kind of relation either with the army of which nine-tenths have served under my orders, or with any of the constituted authorities, would not but meet with my refusal. To become an informer was too repugnant to my character, to always judge with severity, becomes odious, and impresses a seal of reprobation on him who has rendered himself guilty of it towards persons to whom he owed gratitude, and with whom he was in ancient connections of friendship. Duty itself will sometimes yield to the voice of public opinion.
This, General, is what I have to say respecting my connections with Pichegru. It will doubtless convince you that very false and dangerous inferences have been drawn from my steps and actions, which, though perhaps imprudent, were far from being criminal; and I doubt not, had you required an explanation of the facts, which I would have hastened to give you, they would have prevented the regrets of ordering a detention, and to me the humiliation of being in fetters, perhaps obliged to appear before the tribunals to say that I am no conspirator, and to appeal for my justification to a probability of twenty-five years which has never been impeached, and to the services which I have rendered to my country. I shall not dwell upon these, General; I flatter myself they are not yet effaced from your memory: But I will remind you that if the desire of taking part in the French government had been for a single moment the object of my services and of my ambition, the career was open before me in a very advantageous manner some time before your return from Egypt; and surely you have not forgot the disinterestedness I shewed in seconding you on the 18th Brumaire. Our enemies since that
time have kept us asunder. It is with much regret I find I am obliged to speak of myself and what I have done; but in a moment when I am accused of being an accomplice of those who are considered as acting from the impulse of England, I shall verha ve to defend myself against her snares. I have the vanity to believe she must judge of the injuries I can do her from those I have already done.
If I obtain, General, your complete attention, I have no doubt of your justice.
I shall wait your decision of my fate with the tranquillity of innocence, but not without an apprehension of seeing those enemies triumph who are always attracted by celebrity. I am, with respect,
MOREAU, General.
SPEECH OF M O R E A U, Before the court of Criminal Justice.
GENTLEMEN,
In presenting myself before you, I ask to be heard for a moment. My confidence in the counsel I have chosen is entire; I have resigned to them without reserve the care of defending my innocence; it is only in compliance with their desire that I wish to speak before the court, but I feel the need of speaking myself, both to you and the nation.
Unhappy circumstances produced by chance or prepared by hatred, may obscure some periods of the life of the most upright man. With much address a criminal may remove from him both the suspicions and the proofs of his crimes: a whole life is always the surest testimony against, or in favor of the accused. It is then my whole life which I oppose to the accusers who pursue me. It has been sufficiently public to be known. I will recall some epochs of it, and the witnesses that I shall invoke are the French people, and the people whom France has conquered.
At the commencement of that revolution which was to found the liberty of the French people, I was devoted to the laws. I changed the destination of my life; I devoted it to arms; I did not place myself among the soldiers of liberty from ambition—I embraced the military life from respect for the laws of the nation; I became a warrior, because I was a citizen.
I supported this character under the colors—I have always preserved it. The more I loved liberty, the more I submitted to discipline.
I advanced very rapidly, but always from grade to grade, without overleaping, always serving my country, never flattering the committees. Arrived at the chief command when victory caused us to advance into the middle of hostile nations, I did not less apply myself to make the character of the French people respected, than to make their armies dreaded. The war under my orders was a scourge only in the fields of battle. Even from the midst of their ravaged plains, more than once have nations and hostile powers rendered me this testimony. This conduct I believed as proper as our victories, to make conquests to France.
At the time when even contrary maxims appeared to prevail in the committees of government, this conduct did not excite against me either calumny or prosecution. No cloud every arose to tarnish the military glory which I had acquired, till that infamous day—the 18th Fructidor: The few who with too much rapidity excelled that day, reproached me with being too slow to denounce a man, in whom I could see only a brother in arms, even at the moment when the evidence of facts and of proofs convinced me that he was accused by truth, and not by unjust suspicions. The Directory, who alone knew the circumstances of my conduct sufficiently to judge of it correctly, and who, every one knows, could not be disposed to judge me with indulgence, boldly declared that they found me irreproachable; they employed me in their services; the post was not brilliant, but is soon became so.
I dare to believe that the nation has not forgotten how much I shewed myself worthy of it; it has not forgotten with what facile devotedness I fought in Italy in subordinate stations; it has not forgotten how I was restored to the chief command by the reverses of our armies, and re-named general, in some measure by our misfortunes; it remembers how I twice recomposed the army of the wrecks of those that had been
dispersed; and how, after having twice sent it back in a condition to oppose the Russians and Austrians, I twice resigned the command of it to enter on one of much higher confidence.
I was not at that era of my life, more republican than in all the others: I appeared more so. I saw fixed upon me, in a more peculiar manner, the regards and the confidence of those whose province it was to impress new movements, and new directions on the republic. They proposed, it is well known, to place me at the head of—little similar to that of the 18th Brumaire. My ambition, if I had had much of it, could easily conceal itself from all appearances, or even do honour to itself by every sentiment of the love of country.
The proposition was made to me by men celebrated in the revolution by their patriotism, and in our national councils by their talents: I refused it; I believed myself made to command armies and did not wish to command the republic.
This was enough to prove, in my opinion, that if I had an ambition, it was not that of authority, or of power: very soon after I proved this still farther.
The 18th Brumaire arrived, and I was at Paris. That revolution, provoked by others as by me, could not alarm my conscience. Directed by a man environed with a blaze of glory, it made me to hope for happy results. I began to second it when other parties wished to put myself at their head to combat it—I received in Paris the orders of Gen. Bonaparte. In executing them I concurred to elevate him to that high degree of power which circumstances rendered necessary.
When sometime after he offered me the chief command of the army of the Rhine, I accepted it from him with as much devotion as from the hand of the republic itself. My military successes were never more rapid, more numerous, more decisive than at that epoch when their splendor overread the government which accused me.
Upon the event of so many successes, of which the greatest of all was to have ascertained, in an efficacious manner, the peace of the continent, the soldier heard the lofty thours of national gratitude.
What a moment to conspire if such a design had ever been able to enter my soul!—Every one knows the devotedness of armies to chiefs whom they love, and whom they have just led from victory to victory: an ambitious man, a conspirator, would have suffered the occasion to escape, when at the head of an hundred thousand men so often triumphant, he returned to a nation still agitated and always restless with regard to its principles and their duration.
I only thought of disbanding the army, and returned to the repose of a civil life.
In this repose, which was not without glory, I enjoyed without doubt my honors—those honors which human power can never wrest from me, the remembrance of my actions, the testimony of my conscience, the esteem of my compatriots and strangers, and if it may be said the flattering and sweet presentiment of posterity.
I enjoyed a fortune which was not great, because my desires were not immense, and which caused no reproach of conscience—I enjoyed the entertainment of my retreat. Surely I was content with my lot—I who never envied the lot of any. My family and my friends, so much the more precious as not having anything to hope from my credit or my fortune, they could remain attached but to myself alone.
All these blessings which alone I highly appreciate, I sold my soul entirely, & could permit no undue desire or ambition with to enter; would it then be open to criminal projects?
This condition of my soul was so well known, it was so well guaranteed by the distance at which I kept from all the paths of ambition, that since the victory of Hohenlinden till my arrestation, my enemies have never been able either to find or to seek me by another crime than the freedom of my discourse—they have often been favourable to the operations of government: and it at any time they have not been so, could I at the time think that that was a crime among a people who had so often decided that of thought, that of word, that of the press, and who had enjoyed much of it even under kings.
I confess that with an open disposition, I have not lost this attribute of the country (of France) when I received life, neither in the camp, where every thing gives a new impetus,
nor in the revolution which has always proclaimed it as a virtue of the man, and as a duty of the citizen. But do those who plot, blame so openly what they disapprove? If I had wished to form and pursue plans of conspiracy, I would have dissembled my sentiments, and solicited all the situations which could have replaced me in the midst of the forces of the nation.
In order to race this plan, in default of political genius, which I never possessed, I had examples known to all the world, and rendered imposing by their success. I know well that Mounck did not withdraw from the armies, and that Cassius and Brutus approached the heart of Cæsar to pierce it.
Magnates, I have nothing more to say to you. Such has been my character, such has been my whole life. I protest in the face of heaven and of men, the innocence and integrity of my conduct: you know your duties, France listens to you, Europe contemplates you, and posterity awaits.
FRANCE.
ORGANIC SENATUS CONSULTUM.
Extracts from the Registers of the conservative Senate of Floreal, year 12.
The Conservative Senate, assembled to the number of members prescribed by the 9th article of the constitution, having seen the project of the Senate Consultum drawn according to the 57th article of the Organic Senatus Consultum, dated Thermidor 16th year 10, and after having heard on the motives of the said project the orators of government, and the report of its special commission, nominated in the sitting of the 26th of this month, and having deliberated on the adoption of it to the number of voices prescribed by the 50th article of the Organic Senatus Consultum, of the 16th Thermidor, year 10, decrees as follows:
TITLE I.
Art. The government of the Republic shall be entrusted to an Emperor, who assumes the title of Emperor of the French. Justice shall be administered in the name of the Emperor by officers of the French.
TITLE II. Of hereditament.
3. The imperial dignity shall be hereditary in the direct natural and legitimate descent of Napoleon Bonaparte, from male to male, by order of primogeniture, and to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descent.
4. Napoleon Bonaparte may adopt the children or grand children of his brothers, provided they have attained the age of eighteen years complete, and that he himself has no male heirs at the time of adoption. His adopted sons enter into the line of his direct descent. If he has any male children posterior to adoption, his adopted sons can succeed only after the natural and legitimate descendants.
5. Failing a natural or legitimate heir, or adopted heir of Napoleon Bonaparte, the imperial dignity shall devolve to and be conferred on Joseph Bonaparte and his natural and legitimate descendants, in order of primogeniture, to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants.
6. Failing Joseph Bonaparte and his male descendants, the imperial dignity shall devolve to and be conferred on Louis Bonaparte and his natural and legitimate descendants in the order of primogeniture, from male to male, and to the perpetual exclusion of females and their descendants.
7. Failing a natural or legitimate heir or adopted heir of Napoleon Bonaparte, failing a natural or legitimate heir of Joseph Bonaparte and his male descendants, of Louis Bonaparte and his male descendants, an Organic Senate Consultum, proposed to the Senate by the titularies of the great dignities of the empire, and submitted to the acceptance of the people, shall nominate the emperor, and regulate in his family the order of hereditament, from male to male, to the perpetual exclusion of females and of their descendants.
8. Until the moment of the election of the new emperor, the affairs of the state shall be governed by the ministers, who shall form in council the government, and who shall deliberate by a majority of voices. The Secretary of state shall keep a journal of the deliberations.

TITLE III.
Of the Imperial Family.
9. The members of the Imperial family in the order of hereditament shall bear the title of French princes. The eldest son of the Emperor shall be styled Imperial prince.

11. They are members of the senate and of the council of state, when they have attained to their eighteenth year.
12. They cannot marry without the consent of the emperor. The marriage of a French Prince without the consent of the emperor, incurs the privation of all right of inheritance, both for the individual who has contracted it, and for his descendants.
13. The acts which affect the birth, the marriages, and deaths of members of the Imperial family, shall be transmitted, by order from the emperor, to the senate, who shall order them to be inscribed on their journals and deposited among their archives.
14. Napoleon Bonaparte shall establish statutes to which his successors are bound to conform—1st. The duties of the individuals of both sexes who are members of the Imperial family, towards the emperor—2d. An organisation of the Imperial Palace, conformably to the dignity of the throne and the grandeur of the nation.
15. The civil list remains regulated in the same manner as it was by the first and fourth articles of the decree of May 26, 1791—The Princes Joseph and Lewis Bonaparte, and in future the younger natural and legitimate sons of the emperor, shall be treated agreeable to the articles 1, 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the decree of December 21, 1790.—The emperor may fix the jointure of the empress, and refer it to the civil list. His successors can introduce no change in the disposition made in this respect.
16. The emperor shall visit the departments. Palaces shall therefore be established in the four principal points of the empire: these palaces shall be fixed, and their dependencies established by a law.
Title IV.—Of the Regency.
17. The emperor is a minor till the age of eighteen years complete; during his minority there shall be a regency of the empire.
18. The regent must be at least twenty-one years of age, complete; females are excluded from the regency.
19. The emperor chooses the regent from among the French Princes who have attained the age prescribed by the preceding article; and failing them from among the titularies of the great dignities of the empire.
20. Failing designation on the part of the emperor, the regency shall devolve to the Prince nearest in degree in the order of inheritance, who has attained to twenty-five years complete.
21. In cases where the emperor has not chosen the regent, if none of the French princes have attained to the age of twenty-five years complete, the senate shall choose the regent from the titularies of the great dignities of the empire.
22. When on account of the minority of a Prince called to the Regency in the order of inheritance, it has been conferred on a more distant relation, or one of the titularies of the great dignities of the empire, the regent who shall enter on the exercise of his functions shall continue them till the majority of the emperor.
23. No Organic Senatus Consultum can be passed during the regency, nor before the end of the third year after the majority.
24. The regent shall exercise, till the majority of the emperor, all the attributes of the imperial dignity, he cannot however, nominate to the great dignities of the empire, nor to the places of the great officers that may be vacant at the period of the regency, or which may become vacant during the minority, nor use the prerogative reserved for the emperor of raising citizens to the rank of senators. He cannot dismiss either the grand judge or the Secretary of State.
25. He is not personally responsible for the acts of his administration.
26. All acts of the regency are in the name of the emperor under age.
27. The regent cannot propose no project of a law or Senatus Consultum, and cannot adopt a regulation of public administration, until he has consulted the council of regency, composed of the titularies of the dignities of the empire. He cannot declare war or sign treaties of peace, alliance, or commerce, until after deliberation in the council of regency; the members of which in the case only have a deliberative voice. The decision shall be by a majority of voices, and if there be an equality, that of the regent shall determine it.—The minister of foreign relations shall have a seat in the council of regency, when the council deliberate on affairs relating to his department. The Grand Judge, Minister of Justice, may be called to it by order of the regent. The Secretary of State shall keep a journal of the deliberations.
28. The regency can confer no right on the person of the minor emperor.
29. The salary of the regent is fixed at a fourth of the amount of the civil list.
30. The care of the minor emperor is entrusted to his mother; and failing her, to the prince chosen for that purpose by the predecessors of the minor emperor. Failing the mother of the minor emperor, and a prince chosen by the emperor, the senate shall instruct the care of the minor emperor to one of the titularies of the great dignities of the empire. Neither the regent, nor his descendants or females, can be chosen to take charge of the minor emperor.
31. In case Napoleon Bonaparte shall use the faculty conferred on him by the 4th article of Title II. the act of adoption shall be performed in the presence of the titularies of the grand dignities of the empire; shall be received by the secretary of state, and immediately transmitted to the senate to be inscribed in the journals, and deposited among the archives; when the emperor nominates either a regent for the minority or a prince to take charge of the minor emperor, the same formalities shall be observed; the acts of nomination, either of a regent for the minority, or a prince to take charge of the minor emperor, are revocable, at the pleasure of the emperor; every act of adoption, nomination, which has not been inscribed in the journals of the senate, before the death of the emperor, shall be null and void.

WASHINGTON CITY,
FRIDAY, August 9.
DIED —On Tuesday last in the 38th year of her age, MRS. MARY TUNNICLIFF , wife of Mr. WILLIAM TUNNICLIFF on Capitol Hill.
By the death of this valuable woman her husband and son sustain the irreparable and inconsolable loss of an amiable, affectionate and industrious a wife and mother, as perhaps any among her sex. Mrs. T. was born in Shropshire England, of a respectable family; had been well educated, was of polished manners, and a refined understanding. Her great solicitude and extreme industry in the fatigues of a public life, is thought contributed to a severe complaint which she bore with fortitude, till at last it terminated in a mortification.
An ancient Poet had said, “Death takes the good—too good on earth to lay, And leaves the bad—too bad to take away.”
Havanna, May 6.
A Royal order, dated the 28th of December last, received the 30th of April following, acquaints me that in virtue of a privilege obtained by count Maroz, his Catholic majesty declares null, void and of no effect the contracts granted to natives or foreigners, for the introduction of flour from the United States of America; and his majesty in consequence ordains, until the 100,000 barrels for which the count is privileged, be introduced, without any interruption, so that the city and fortifications shall be supplied, according as it is ordained by the Captain General & Intendant; it shall not be permitted any other person having right thereto, not even those privileged after the count or any other person whomsoever employed in the introduction of flour thereof to introduce.
The Secretary of the government shall cause to be made known to Mr. John de St. Maire, authorised by the Royal hacienda and to the privileged subjects, them and their agents residing in this city for the purpose of introducing flour from the United States, that it is enjoined on them to cease forthwith all further introductions conformable to the tenor of the said royal order, which shall be communicated according to the accustomed usage, to the intendant par interim to serve as an official notice, and in order that he may notify the general administration of rent, to the end that they may put in execution that which is enjoined on them by these presents.
SOMERUELOS.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
PARIS, May 28.
The trials which began to day are the most important that could ever occupy the public attention. They will afford a full development of all the intrigues carried on this ten years past against the French Republic. The act of accusation is already made public. It is stamped with a character of frankness and evidence which bears conviction to every mind. The first deposition of the accused all agree in the principal points, as the participation of the English government, as to the arrival of the conspirators in France, as to their designs and as to their conferences. It is not for us to discuss facts which are still depending before an impartial tribunal; we consider this great affair only in a political point of view, and in as far as it relates to the English government, which is so deeply implicated in it.
June 11.
The council of state of the Italian Republic has decreed, that a monument shall be raised to the glory of Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, the founder and restorer of the Italian Republic, and that his accession to that dignity shall be solemnly celebrated on the 16th August, the day of St. Napoleon.
Most of the bishops have already addressed to the faithful of their diocese a mandate; ordering solemn thanksgiving for the accession of Bonaparte to the dignity of Emperor of the French.
Letters from Constantinople, of the 30th April, state that the French minister General Brune was highly satisfied with his last conference of the Reis Efendi, on the subject of the indemnifications he had required in favor of his countrymen, on whose property an embargo was laid during last war; in this audience the imperial duties on French merchandise were definitively settled to the satisfaction of both parties. A slight coolness had before subsisted between the French ambassador and the Ottoman minister which has entirely ceased since this conference. It is added that the Russian ambassador had
lately paid a visit to General Brune. Some time had elapsed since these ministers had seen each other before.
A pamphlet has lately made its appearance in the North of Germany, entitled “Reflections upon the Conspiracy denounced at Paris the 27th Nivose, year 12, and the subsequent events.” It bears visible marks of being the work of some miserable underling of Mr. Drake’s.
By advices from Berne we find that H. E. the Landamman, after announcing to the different Cantons the change which took place in France, added that he conceived it to be his duty and the interest of his country to send an extraordinary courier to H. I. M. with the compliment of the Helvetic confederation.
A Flotilla of 50 sail, 10 of which were gun-boats sailed from Calais on the 14th inst. for Bologne where it arrived in safety, in spite of the English attempting to lay obstacles in its way.
At the end of the mandate which the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris has just published, ordering public prayers, on account of the accession of the Emperor, we read the following letter which his Imperial Majesty had written to his Eminence.
“My Cousin, the happiness of the French has ever been the object of my dearest thoughts, and their glory that of all my labors. Called by Divine Providence and the constitution of the Republic to the Imperial power, I see in this new order of things only greater means to secure at home and abroad the national dignity and prosperity. I rely with confidence on the powerful support of the Most High. He will inspire his ministers with the desire of seconding me with all the means in their power.

Dr. Jacob Hall, of Harford county, of known literary character, to whose inspection these Poems were submitted, in a letter to the author, expresses his opinion of them, as follows: MADAM,
I have been honored and gratified with the perusal of your manuscript copy of Poems. In my opinion it is a work of considerable merit, and displays true piety and poetic genius. The pastoral dialogues are commendable for their novelty, simplicity and beauty. The elegies, epistles, and especially the "Man of Misfortune," a Moral Tale, are interesting and pathetic. The Odes and Fugitive Pieces are sprightly and amusing.—And the whole composition seems to breathe such a spirit of philanthropy and benevolence as cannot fail to elevate the affections, and to mend the heart.—And it is to be regretted, that the author's modesty has hitherto denied the community a refined & elegant an entertainment. Your Friend, &c. J. HALL.

This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it — which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next. Richmond, March 2—tf Tickets to be had of Robert Pollard Esq. John Brockenbrough, jun. Wm. Price (Reg.) Samuel Pleasants, jun. and William Prichard.
