THE FAIR & THE FLOWERS.
The fair have been frequently liken'd to flow- ers, Which shine and look gay in the bed, Dispensing their charms for a few fleeting hours, Then droop in their stalks and are dead.
In some points the simile holds it is true, And we judge the comparison neat; In others plain marks of distinction we view, And the likeness is thus incomplete.
The fair, like the flow'r, of her beauty may boast; Near as soon does that beauty decay, And when once the vain glitter of surface is lost, They may both pass unnotic'd away.
But the innocent flow'r, as it fixes the gaze, Never hurts, while it pleases the eye; The fair's brighter lustre consumes like a blaze, And wounds him who rashly draws nigh.
Like the flow'rs, there are some of the fair, I confess, Who seem to exist without mind; But many we see joining judgment to dress, In whom sense with show is combin'd.
The flow'r's gaudy vesture amuses the sight, But serves us for nothing beside; The fair are a varied source of delight, To uses more solid appli'd.
The flow'r in timidity shuts up its leaves When night overshadows the ground; The belle then additional splendor receives, And scatters her charms all around.
Attend well, ye fair, to the moral so plain, In the contrast attempted above; Though of beauty and youth you may justly be vain, It is virtue that melts us to love.
FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
THE SELFISH POLITICIAN.
While the true lovers of their country feel anxious to transmit unimpaired to posterity the privileges they now enjoy; and while they entertain fears lest the clashing of parties, one of which has the ascendancy to-day, another to-morrow, will, if not destroyed, at least diminish in the public estimation the value of those liberties which cost our fathers so dear, and make them, through weariness and fatigue, in long watching to preserve them, more regardless of their real worth; it cannot but add new fears and increase the alarm of reflecting men to see the fickleness of opinion among some and depravity of heart among others from whom we have a right to expect better things. All of whom might do much good, but are capable of doing more hurt; might serve their country, if not in lofty stations, at least faithfully in humble walks of political life, discharging the duties of a good citizen with zeal and alacrity—thus much in duty they are bound to do. There are men who will go with the strongest party, right or wrong; and others who for a paltry office would sell their birthright. It behoves these men to reflect on the consequences of such conduct they see an example at once destructive of good faith between man & man with respect to our government and its administration; and without virtue and good faith among our citizens, there will soon be nothing left to us of our government but the name.—When men are suffered to set ruinous examples with impunity, the most ripened villains will soon begin to show their heads—instead of thus undermining the pillars of that political edifice, they ought to embrace them; and by their fidelity and example, do what in them lies to perpetuate to future Americans that freedom to which all other countries in the world are strangers; and convince their own, that if they cannot add new props to the fabric, they will at least support those already erected—and that should they prove too weak for the superstructure, disjoined by parties, top-heavy by constitutional amendments, and shaken by political tempests, they will not abandon their posts or neglect their duty; but, if it must fall, fall with the temple of Liberty, and perish in its ruins.
But it is easier to pull down than to build up. A fool may do the first, but it requires a wise man to do the last. There are some
who are wise in their own conceit, and have a longing desire for immortality—it must be had, and yet they have not soul enough to stimulate them to do a great and good action, yet they must try and live forever. The seekers of fame long ago hit upon an expedient, which answered their purpose and is practised to this day with success. Now, as formerly, when neither virtue nor honor, nor any other good quality, if they should chance to possess one, will obtain for them life everlasting, they throw off the mask and say, why can we not render our names immortal by undoing what others have done and destroying the labors of others which it has taken ages to perform? surely we can obtain immortality by destroying what others obtained immortality in erecting? Thus said the Saracens, when, in ravaging Egypt, they found at Alexandria the most splendid and magnificent library the world ever witnessed; it has been the work of ages to collect it; it would tell well in history, as a fact, that it did not take half the time to destroy it. Accordingly it was committed to the flames; some of it in piles, and other parts of it in various ways; and for months they used it as fuel to cook their victuals, and to warm their baths. Eustorgius burnt the Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, with a view to perpetuate his memory. And we read in the history of England, of a man who in order to cut a figure in history, procured for himself the honor of being hanged at Tyburn. Arnold turned traitor for fame, and Mr. Jefferson, to be a philosopher, scorching the swamps of Louisiana for horned frogs; and the banks of the Missouri for Mammoth's bones; made an experiment on his country by laying an unlimited embargo, which, if it had been endured as much longer as he wished it to be, would have been a miracle, and procured for him another kind of immortality than he wished; it has as it is—he would have lived beloved, and died lamented; and like the great Washington, be spoken of forever with praise; but he lived and still lives execrated—he will die and America shed no tears his memory will live forever in her bosom, for she can never forget the man, who has done her a lasting injury. England has had her Cromwell, and France her Robespierre—“infuriated men,” who under the ostensible plea of seeking “through blood and carnage, their long lost liberties,” sought nothing so much as immortality.—France has had and still has her Bonaparte, and would to God she would keep him—perhaps in him the world is to have another Alexander, and after his demise, be sliced into piece meals by his generals. He is now fighting under pretence of restoring the liberties of the seas, but in reality to enslave the whole world. The seekers of fame in this country are generally men for whom nature has done much, but education more. They are lovers of power and promoters of faction; and when in the majority, if they have not as good an office carved for them as they expected, or think they deserve, they are immediately seen in the minority; dissatisfied with every thing that is done by their rulers, and declaiming in every grog shop, that there must be a change of men. Those who, under mild laws, and in literary institutions, have had an opportunity to improve their faculties, enlarge the mind and acquire more correct notions of right and wrong, where the one ends and the other begins, are the men from whom our country has the most to hope and the most to fear—they are all of them able, some more and others less, to advance the interests of their country and add to the stability of the government under which they live. America expects this from all—they owe it to her for the favors they have enjoyed under her government in their youth—and the protection she promises to extend to them in old age; and her grateful sons will not disappoint her. But there are some who are ungrateful, and destitute of love of country—having less principle than ambition, and less public good than self-interest in view, they are for Caesar to-day, for Brutus to-morrow—yesterday maintaining with ardent zeal the principles of Washington, with which their fathers early warned their bosoms, to-day have abandoned them and enlisted under the banners of a demagogue, who holds out to them profit and honor in exchange for their consciences. And as Bonaparte wages war upon nations merely to add new conquests to his dominions, so this demagogue sets sound principles and good faith at defiance, and holds out the plunder of an enemy's camp as a lure to gain the unprincipled and abandoned; taking any thing in human shape to increase the number of his party. Votes being the weapons of warfare, his minions, like Bonaparte's soldiers, neither complain of his orders nor desert him in battle, knowing, that if they murmur and despair of victory, they shall be shot before the camp, but, if through obstinacy and perseverance
they should prevail, plunder and spoils are before them; offices of profit and honor, if not vacant, can easily be made so, and, if they cannot wait to fill their pockets out of the people, they can live sumptuously at least a short time upon the unexpended money in the treasury, which the economy of their betters had laid up against emergencies. Thus the money in the treasury of this commonwealth to the amount of upwards of sixty thousand dollars was less necessary to be kept for public defence than to be wasted in riotous living; and that in the treasury of the U. States to the amount of ——— thousand dollars, of too little consequence to be kept, and too contemptible to be guarded by those with whom it was intrusted; and consequently left to be squandered away in sugar plumbs and capers by the first profligate minion that could lay his hands upon it.
Are not the men of education, men who have read much, and had opportunities to compare, the principles and contrast the measures of the ruling men of the two parties in this country, a large majority of them federalists? In New England even at the time and after the change in the general government, it was a rule, that the men of education and reflection, of religion and property were federalists; and it was a rule that admitted of as few exceptions as any whatever. A large majority of them, perhaps three quarters, remain so; and what is the reason? They cannot be in error thro' ignorance, both the theory, they have studied and the practice of others convince them of the reverse, they are not so to obtain profit and honor from offices—the principles they profess notwithstanding they are those of Washington, are a complete barrier to obtaining an office under the general government—there can be no reason then, but this, a firm belief that their principles are correct and those of their opponents erroneous; and that the measure of the two first administrations were well designed and with scarce an exception, highly beneficial to the country. On the other hand they are satisfied, that under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, our country suffered greater injuries and more losses than eight years can make whole. Indeed, it is so obvious, there are but few who deny it. It is strange if the measures of the federal administration sometimes answered not the expectations of government, and were disliked by the people? Were not their authors men, and liable to be deceived? But it is not matter of surprize, that Mr. Jefferson (considering his conduct when secretary of state, under president Washington) having become president of the United States, should do many things wrong even by design—but since he did so many things wrong by design, it seems unaccountable that in the course of eight years he should scarcely do any thing right by mistake. Thus we see some men, who might enlarge their fortunes, and others whom misfortune has made poor and who might live in affluent circumstances by turning democrats, retain their integrity, and remain federalists; preferring an honest life and a quiet conscience in a private station to a public life, whose honors and profits are connected with them bribery and self reproach.—these are men who cannot be bought, but who have been besought, as was Job by his wife, to curse federalism and go over to democracy, which would be to curse federalism and die, and to federalists worse than death itself.
Every one is not ignorant, that offices have been offered to federalists as the price of their political opinion; for the counsel and advice even of those of moderate talents are much needed and if such as would suit, much wanted by democracy. And many know that federalists in office have been continued in upon condition of selling themselves and bartering away their consciences to buy what they already possessed. Those who were in office chose to go out, and those who were out, chose to remain so, rather than traffick in this way; so that few men can be found in office under the general government, who were once distinguished federalists. A few have been bought—some of them cheap, others at a higher price—some in this vicinity for a military, others for a civil commission, as some who may chance to read this, will know from experience. These are men from whom our country has so much injury to apprehend; for when it is known, they have once offered themselves for sale, ambitious demagogues will bid for them as a butcher for bullocks at a public auction, and the price they will command, will, unlike bullocks, be according to their sense, not according to their fatness or the measure of their girth, else, Mr. Editor, your friend the Doctor, would obtain for a price whatever he pleased to ask. Is behoves the good people of this country to be watchful of the views of men who are coming forward in life to occupy public stations, where they will have the op-
portunity to do according to their intent and disposition, much good or harm. There are some whose sole object is self-interest and popular applause—puffed up with notions of their own superiority, they look above the true interests of their country, and watch the gale of political opinion, with them is literally a trade wind. It is easy, by looking at these weathercocks, to determine which way the popular wind blows: Their faces are always set towards that point where the wind blows strongest. The people therefore, when they hear a man profess himself to be a disciple of Washington one day and of Jefferson the next, should set a mark upon him and examine the motives by which he has been actuated. True to whom he attaches himself may like the treason; but they, equally as others, will abhor the traitor.
A republican government like ours, requires more stability, than veritable men possess, to render it secure; and they who would long preserve it, will do well not to entrust them with any thing of a public nature. When men of education and men who have long attained to the years of judgment and discretion, and who have from their childhood, professed and practised the principles of Washington, are known to change their politics in a short space of time, as it requires to produce a muskrat, who can, while they despise the men, help trembling for their country? Like all other examples, that of turning easy is not without its influence on the public; and when once done becomes easier, till at length a regard for principle and honor is lost, and conscience becomes yielding and elastic, as India rubber, and acquiesces in any thing that will further its master's views. Sincerity, not only in friendship, but in political sentiments, has too long been considered a necessary ingredient in good government, to have it now discarded by the many, because it is out of fashion with a few.
The best and most valuable of metals is found drossy in its original state; but is easily purified by fire. So federalism in this country on the change of parties, was found to be not without alloy, it was put to the test by democracy, which put in the crucible bribes, honors and office. Federalism began to dissolve: the pure settled to the bottom of the crucible, while the dross rising up ran over and associated itself with democracy to share with her the honors and offices, which had caused the separation.—These trials have frequently been repeated, producing at each time a few particles of dross, which Democracy with eagerness has skimmed off from Federalism: What now remains is pure gold; the dross being separated and taken away. Federalism is a gold coin, reduced in size yet retaining its primitive worth; nor will the copper of Democracy ever be able to lessen its value, though it may, by overshadowing it, diminish its lustre.

CONFIRMATION.
We have been politely favored with the following letter, from a gentleman in New York, of the first respectability, to his correspondent in this town, dated New York, Sept. 22, 1809.
The news from Cuesta to Baltimore is confirmed. This morning the Spanish Consul received official accounts from Porto Rico, that a most bloody battle was fought on the 27th and 28th July, between the combined army in Spain near Madrid, and the French; in which the latter experienced a total defeat, having lost in killed wounded and prisoners, 48,000 men. Cuesta and Sir A. Wellesley commanded.
MR. SNOWDEN, WE unexpectedly perceive Master Barrett mentioned in the play of the evening, and think it a tribute due to merit to say we see it with sentiments of mingled pleasure and regret. With pleasure, that the true discerners of genuine talents have it again in their power of witnessing his inimitable performance; and with regret, that the character allotted him should not be more adequate to the fascinating power Master Barrett eminently possesses. Yet, as we recollect some tolerably good speaking in the part, we hesitate not to say, we are confident his many respectful admirers will hold themselves highly indebted to Mr. Warren for introducing in his benefit a youth whose modest and engaging countenance gives in itself an infinity of pleasure to the lovers of chasteness. In a word, to sum up the whole which might be lengthened to columns—we proceed to say, in the different characters of Young Douglas, of Frederick Fribourg, and of Lothaire, Master Barrett never fails to charm his audience, by his attitude, true to nature; his countenance true to the sentiment expressed, and in conception of the character he personates, always correct, always chaste; this delightful pupil of nature can never fail taking captive the hearts of his audience.
To the candid and judicious eye, the character given will not appear exaggerated; and we have but to lament, from whatever cause it may have proceeded, that he has not been seen oftener on the boards, not that we would wish to see him in any thing but in characters suitable to his genius, which cannot fail of making him in a few years the ornament of the stage. Mrs. Barrett generally performs admirably, and never, we fancy, could she have
looked more elegantly and enchantingly well than on Saturday evening last; inimitably too she looked and performed Adelgitha. Indeed so much does her every appearance please, that the severer eye of criticism, or even the foaming tooth of envy finds not where to fasten.
Alexandria, Sept. 25.
Extract of a letter from Malta, dated July 4, 1809, received at Philadelphia.
“Perhaps this market never experienced a moment of greater inactivity, than the present, overloaded with goods of all descriptions from England, Portugal and Spain, and the suspension of the embargo in America adding to the stock, besides filling every foreign source of its consumption. No sales of colonial produce are making except by barter, in this way two American cargoes have been got rid of, one at Messina, and the other here. Turkey is completely glutted, and while a direct and uninterrupted intercourse is carried on by the English to the Mediterranean from their own and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies, the hope of any advantage in the American adventures must be destroyed, even should the ports of Italy and the Adriatic be re-opened, of which happy event the late glorious success of the Austrian army gives the best expectations. Should we, however, be disappointed, it is hard to say what will become of the immense quantities of colonial produce now filling every accessible port, very great loss must be sustained, particularly upon the cargoes from the United States.
A cargo of Mocha coffee would do well in Turkey, but money is very scarce there as well as in Sicily and this island, but a public bank having been established here, our necessities in this respect are likely to meet great relief.”
Latest from Sicily.
Captain White of the s.h. Hawk, in 48 days from Messina, informs that about July 12, while he was at Sylt, the admiral of the Sicilian gun boats under took to dislodge the French from the castle of Schella, which commanded the heights of Messina and annoyed the passage: he requested the English commander to lay in reserve: He attacked the French gun-boats and took 32 of them which he brought in and took the Castle. The conduct of the Sicilians exceeded the expectation of the English and every one on shore. The whole of the engagement being distinctly seen from the town, 2000 of the English troops had taken possession of the island of Ischia and Capria at the entrance of the harbor of Naples; and having landed, they and the French were a considerable while in view of each other; and each retired without firing a gun; shortly after orders came from admiral Collingwood for the English to evacuate the Island, and to retire to Sicily, as information had been received that the French had 300 transports and 30,000 men at Toulon ready for sea and an attack was expected in some quarter—The latest accounts they had from Vienna, of an Austrian officer was to the 11th of July; they were rather confused.
(Balt. American, Sept. 25.)
A Letter was received in town yesterday from Liverpool, dated the 8th of August, brought by a passenger in the ship Thames, capt. Ferry from Liverpool, for New York, which vessel was off Block Island on Thursday last.
The letter states, that the British had blockaded the ports of Holland, and had refused granting licences there—that no official intelligence had been received from the grand expedition—that there was no prospect of getting a supply of goods from Russia; and that owing to an impression that the British ministry would not settle the differences with the United States, the manufacturers were purchasing cotton to a very great extent, at high prices;—and that owing to unfavorable weather for their harvest, wheat and flour had risen, and was in great demand. The letter adds, the schooner Sea Flower, Gifford, would sail for New-York on the 9th of August.

A FLOWERING HEDGE
Different kinds of shrubs are possessed of various properties, recommending them to be used for forming inclosures. The flowering ALTHEA, now in bloom, is worthy of experiment. The plant is easily raised from the seed, and perhaps from sets; the young shoots are pliant, and twist well into a wither; they soon grow to a suitable size for a live fence, which when once formed, will continue without much attention for many years. The leaf is of a fine shape and colour, and the flower very beautiful, of divers hues, and continues by successions from soon after harvest, until cold weather. Toprop a-
gate them, the seed may be sown in the fall on a bank made with a plough; in the spring of the second or third year, they may be thinned into a regular straight row, by pulling those that are superfluous, and when about four feet high, they may be interlaced by bending them each way with an inclination of about forty five degrees. This will cause the stocks to send out numerous branches, and will form a beautiful hedge, which will require little more attention, than to plow close to it whenever the field is cultivated, to prevent a spreading too wide. The young plants may be easily raised in a nursery, and set out in a prepared bank when they are of a proper size. Such an hedge has continued for twenty years and now appears in its prime; the old wood may be cut out for stove wood whenever it can be spared.
LONDON, July 8.
The Dutch papers contain a circular mandate, addressed by Bonaparte, on the 13th ult. to the Bishops, commanding them to offer up praises on account of the victories of Enzersdorf and Wagram. In this instrument he says—“Though our Lord Jesus Christ sprang from the blood of David, he sought no worldly empire; on the contrary, he required, that in concerns of this life men should obey Caesar. His great object was the deliverance and salvation of souls. We, the inheritors of Caesar's power, are firmly resolved to maintain the independence of our throne & the inviolability of our rights, we shall persevere in the great work of restoration of the worship of GOD: we shall communicate to its ministers that respectability which we alone can give them—we shall listen to their voice in all that concerns spiritual matters and affairs of conscience.” “We shall not be drawn aside from the great end which we strive to attain, and in which we have succeeded in part—the restoration of the altars of our divine worship; nor suffer ourselves to be persuaded that these principles, as Greek, English Protestants, and Calvinists, affirm, are inconsistent with the independence of thrones and nations. God has enlightened us enough to remove such errors far from us. Our subjects entertain no such fear.”

Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone.

Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country. It will however be laid off to suit purchasers.
The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE
Y R W G O D'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after dropping a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
