He left my plantation last Sat- urday morning, after stealing several silver spoons and forks, part of which he sold to a silversmith in Fredericktown. He enticed away with him a French Negro Girl, named Celitte , about 22 years of age belonging to me. She had on a green petticoat, and they both speak bad English. He says he is a gar- dener, and had been a seaman on board a French privateer which he left at Baltimore, previ- ous to his coming into my service at Fre- dericktown. Any person who will secure them in either of the jails of the following places, shall thereupon receive 15 dollars for each of the said run-aways, of the following per- sons.

American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS. Selected from the most striking and inter- esting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accom- panied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities. By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Mosaic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."
CONDITIONS. 1. That the work shall be published by Sub- scription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 3 Dollars. 2. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to com- mence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally complet- ed. 3. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospects exhibited in the course of the Work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers. TO THE PUBLIC. THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts. Amidst the ravages of war, and the convul- sions of a revolutionary age, they must inevi- tably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and as- sist the men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquility, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circum- stances of the world, however, the oppor- tunity occurs to anticipate the destined peri- od of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and pro- tress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country pos- sesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profusely scat- tered over the American continent. But un- fortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adap- ting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to en- gage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American find- leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sen- sibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the Euro- pean is compelled, with an anxious and ex- plicit eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home. The attention of mankind being thus dis- rected towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its politi- cal interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Eu- rope; its close imitation of finished draw- ings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touch- es of nature, are properties, that seem pecu- liarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certain no where else to be found. Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a re- pository of descriptive topographical and hi- torical facts respecting the circumjacent coun- try from which the views were taken: by
to give full effect to this part of the undertaking. every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history or to the memorable events, connected with the respective engraving. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington. As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be im- proper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality. Twelve drawings are ready, and the ut- most dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned: 1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c. It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expense, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Pro- posals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not be connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed. Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be ad- dressed to him at New-York. Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harri- son, at his Print-shop, Maiden Lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 118, Market Street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States.

Important Discovery.
[Copies of the following Memorial, with two letters subjoined to it, from Sir John Dalrymple, have been sent by him to the Board of Admiralty, the Visiting Board, the Chairman of the East India Company, and to each Member of the King's Cabinet, so far as he learned their names, and to the Hawkebury. His reason for taking so unusual a step is, that time presses, and the subject is of the highest importance to the public service, and ought not to depend on the common flow forms of office.—Only eighteen copies of the memorial have been printed.]
The immortal Captain Cook, in a voyage of three years and thirteen days, lost only one man by disease. Sir John Pringle, in his discourse to the Royal Society, upon preserving the health of Seamen, imputes this singularity to the use of malt, which Captain Cook carried out with him, and from which he made wort.
This opened the eyes of the public to the consequence of wort to preserve the lives of Seamen. But as malt, and brewing wort from malt, were found inconvenient in a ship, the extract of wort was substituted in the place of wort, and these extracts made at land, were turned into wort at sea, by mixing with warm water. But these had two inconveniences—first, in the way in which they were made, they had a burnt, or, as it is called, an empyreumatic taste, because the empyreumatic oils were not taken from them; and secondly, they were dear; for I am told that the contract-price of the Victualling Board for them is 9d. per pound; on which account they are lost but only as medicines to the sick, not as a beverage to the healthy.
The reason why Sir John Pringle gives wort as so wholesome at sea is, that they contain a quantity of gas, or what is called fixed air, which prevents the bad effects of salt meat, strong spirits and sea air. But wort does not contain one fourth part of the fixed air that is in the beer, because the fermentation in beer is both the creature and creator of fixed air: on which account Sir John Pringle, and all Navy people, agree, that the Seamen never lose their health as long as the beer lasts. But no beer can be made without yeast, and no yeast had hitherto been discovered that will keep fresh above a few days; on which account commercial nations have, for a century past been offering bounties for an improved yeast.
This yeast I have hit upon, by a contrivance in which I can hardly claim the merit of ingenuity, because it is so simple that a child might have discovered it. And I combine it with three other improvements, in such a way, that henceforth the Seamen of the world may drink fresh beer every day and in every climate.
The particulars of this combination are four in number.
First Particular.—Extract the aqueous or watery parts from wort of the strength of porter wort, that is 112 gallons from a quarter of grain, or of the strength of strong beer, which is stronger, and thus reduce the wort to a kind of cake, or the consistency of bees-wax. When afterwards this cake is to be used, exactly the same quantity of water which was taken from it is to be added to it, in which it dissolves, and then returns to its original state in quantity, quality, taste and strength. If the cake was taken from the porter wort, it returns to porter, and if from strong-beer wort, it returns to strong-beer; and according as less or more water is added, it can be turned into small beer, or what is commonly called Seamen's beer or table beer, that is five barrels from a quarter. In the method which I use, the liquor neither has, nor possibly can have a burnt or empyreumatic taste;—and instead of the cake costing 9d. the pound, the prime cost of the malt liquor of the same quality made in the common way, and therefore may be the common beverage of the Seamen.
Second Particular. Captain Cook complained of the difficulty of making his wort keep. The cause is obvious; he used no hops, without which no beer will keep. But to remedy the complaint, I draw all the aqueous parts from hop liquor, and thereby reduce them also to a cake of the consistency of bees-wax. It is done by an art which, so far as I know, was never practiced before, and which prevents one atom either of the flavour, or of the bitter, or of the strength of the hops from being lost.
Third Particular.—I reduce the above pieces of yeast, I mean my own yeast, also into a cake of the consistency of bees-wax, which when dissolved in water returns also to its original quantity and power.
Accurate rules are given for mixing these three cakes in infusion with the water, so simple, that no person who makes the beer can commit a mistake. When the infusion is made in the water, the fermentation takes place in about 20 minutes and lasts two days; the beer settles the third day, and may be drank the fourth.
Fourth Particular.—I wrote an account of these things to the Victualling Board, and sent to London, and kept at a large expense for three months, my confidential operator, to make the beer at the sight of the board. In the press of public affairs I could not be attend-
ed to. But the board paid great attention to my papers; and in a letter which they did me the honor to write to me, objected, That ships had not room for fires and coppers to boil, nor for coolers to cool malt liquors. The objections appeared so solid, that I had nearly thrown up all hopes so far as related to the operation at sea. But by an improvement, which I almost ascribe to the interposition of Providence, in mercy to sea-faring people, I found, that the beer could be made in the hold of a ship with cold water, even in the height of summer in winter, and consequently that no fires, coppers or coolers, were needed, nor any thing but common casks of cold water, to receive the cakes after they had been dissolved in a small quantity of cold water.
In consequence of the above four particulars thus combined, I repeat it, that Seamen may be supplied with fresh beer, at no additional expense, every day, and in every climate. I know the ridicule to which I expose myself, if I be mistaken. But, in return, if I be in the right, I shall be proud to have it said, that I was the best friend the navy of England ever saw.
I make no complaints of boards, or men in power, who have been acquainted with my operations. On the contrary, I have much reason to be thankful, that coming from a man in my line of life, they have not been totally disregarded. Lord Howe was so polite as to answer my letter the very day he received it, to wit, the 21st of September last, when he was just going to sail, and sent my papers to the Victualling Board, who were candid and condescending.—The Lord Advocate is to carry from Scotland, and deliver with his own hands, a specimen of the beer made from cold water to the board. He did much more, for he kept up my spirits when he saw me faulting, from the fear of being accounted a projector.
But tho' I make no complaint, Deliberat Roma, petit Saguntum , I confess I feel and am hurt that nothing is done, and that the Seamen are every day perishing, tho' I hold forth a relief which may be as easily accomplished in a month as in ten years. The king's ministers (and the greatest of them may be proud of the office) may have the operations put to the test of experience at London when they please: And if these answer the three cakes can be made either at the Government-Breweries, or by contract with brewers and distillers, whom I shall teach all I know. Last Autumn, in letters to Lord Chatham and Lord Howe, I offered to send confidential hands to teach my arts to every surgeon in the great fleet which was then to sail: leaving to the king's servants afterwards to indemnify me as they pleased for making arts public, which if kept private, must be so beneficial to my family. But Lord Howe failed before I could get an answer. I cannot now renew that offer; because I have since that time made contracts with private persons, the value of which depends upon the fidelity with which my contrivances are kept secret.
One of them is Mr. Easton, late a partner of the great distillery house of Bush and company, at London, and now proprietor of one fifth of the whole distillery of Scotland; and he writes me that he will save 3000l. a-year in his works by my Yeast. But I shall do what will be equally beneficial for the public; I shall communicate them to the confidential persons employed by government. If I might presume to point out persons, I would mention Mr. John Calvert, brewer, if he be the gentleman with whom I was at College at Cambridge, and Mr. Benwell, distiller, near Lambeth, or the above Mr. Easton, at Aberdeen, because I know them to be men of ability.
His majesty's military servants of the cabinet are best judges how far a plan, which will save 90 per cent. of carriage in the beer of an army, and supply them with beer wherever they are, can be of use to his armies.
I have annexed to this memorial copies of the two last letters which I wrote to the Victualling Board. These contain another idea, to supply the Seamen with British corn-spirits, finely rectified and flavoured with flavours of Spanish brandies; a great portion of which brandies are made in Spain, not from grapes, but from corn-spirits. The letters will speak for themselves. I learnt the art of the flavours in Spain, and am confident it is unknown in Britain. But if a better than mine can be found, let it by all means be taken.

A policy has been lately effected, on which 40,000l. was subscribed in large sums, paying a premium of five guineas to receive one hundred pound, if a cessation of arms takes place in two
months, to be followed up by a peace. Another policy has been subscribed at 25 guineas per cent. to pay 100, if peace is concluded between France and Great-Britain by the 1st of January, 1756.
HEAD-QUARTERS AT ARNHEIM, December 22.
We have accounts of a great number of transports being arrived at Rotterdam from England, for the express purpose of taking on board some of our troops, supposed to be destined for an ultramarine expedition. Utrecht is now the place mentioned to be the British Head-Quarters during the winter.
Our park of artillery has already fallen down the river six miles, apparently for that purpose; or, if so, it is order to make room for the crowded Austrian park.
The Imperial troops here now amount to 4000 infantry; other corps are on their march hither, destined to fill up, the vacuum occasioned by our falling farther back. The retreat, however, will be but a partial one. Every house in this town has a double billet on it. So great is the number of troops here, that most of the rooms in the Town Hall are filled with Austrian soldiers—and, to the credit of the Magistrates of Arnheim it is said, no duty on their side is neglected, to make every thing as comfortable to the Soldiers as circumstances will allow.
The very great scarcity of the weather has induced Lieutenant General Harcourt, to order half a pound of meat extra, to be distributed to each soldier of the British army, until further orders: so that our men have each a pound and a half of meat and the same weight of bread, every day with a sufficient quantity of vegetables and half a crown in money per week!—The new clothes of the army are come up, and partly issued.
A person who had the good fortune to effect his escape from Ghent a few days since, appeared yesterday before Lieutenant General Harcourt, and assured him, that he met two very considerable columns of the French Army, retreating into Flanders; and the two days he had marched, previous to his getting into Holland, he had never heard such a heavy cannonade which he had reason to suppose was at sea. Such, at least, have been his assertions to General Harcourt.
Major General Craig, it seems, returns no more to the Continent, his baggage and servants left Arnheim on Wednesday.
Prince William is also gone home: as are Gen. Hulke, and Lord Charles Fitzroy.
On our side of the Rhine we are very well, when compared with what is suffered on the opposite bank, though, in some respects, it may be said, that the sufferings of the Army, are equally great, for we want hay as much as they want corn. There, is, however, no want of bread.
So great has been the effluence of ice to day on the Rhine, so extraordinary were the frozen isles that floated down it that the oldest man in Arnheim was astonished at the novelty. Since the year 1755 to 56 there has not been felt; then the Rhine and the Waal froze almost at the same time; for the congelation of both branches was perfect in the space of 24 hours, and heavy cannon were brought over each by means of strewed sand, ashes and saw dust.
I am sorry to add, that last night the bridge across the Rhine was carried away by the weight of the ice floating down the river.
December 25.
The farmers in the neighbourhood of Monmouth have generally determined to adopt a similar plan to those near Ross; that of retailing wheat at a low price to the poor, in order to alleviate their distresses.
Died, on Wednesday the 17th inst. Major General Alexander Stewart, Colonel of the Queen's royal regiment of foot, and Member of Parliament for the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. The General returned from the Continent about a month ago, and fell a sacrifice to an illness, contracted in consequence of the fatigues he had undergone in the course of last campaign, in which he commanded the first brigade of British infantry.
GARRICK.
At length the shade of our great Astor no longer mourns in neglect. A monument is now in hand, and is to be placed in Westminster Abbey, near his burial place in Poet's Corner. The design of the Sculptor represents him in his profession, exhibiting and elucidating the English Dramatic Poets, at the head of whom is his favourite Shakespeare. This purpose is happily effected; Garrick is throwing back a veil or curtain, supposed to have obscured the venerable Bards, whose heads appear on medals in the recesses. The action is very spirited and characteristic. The Sculptor is Hickey, who is likely by this work to add much to his professional fame. The inscription is expected to come from the glowing pen of Mr. Burke. We do not hear at whose expense this long looked for memorial is undertaken; however, we find it does not come from any portion of the great fortune that enriched the heirs of Garrick. Hence may we say of him who pays this laudable tribute, in the
words of our great bard, who probably alluded to the old ballad now so well dramatized;
"Oh! birds, fore flaming those rich heirs who leave, Their friends without a monument."

CRITO's remarks on the theatrical critique signed L'HIRONDELLE, may be compared to a species of Fungus said to be found only at the bottom of a Well!
A Lacedemonian meeting a Spartan making wry faces and yelling vehemently, asked him why he made such a fool of himself. The Spartan replied, he did it to be taken notice of, and then it would be the best begging trade going.
N. B. CRITO was not the Lacedemonian.
JOHNSON justly observes, that there is a more noxious animal than the Book-Worm —this remark is verified in CRITO's laboured production. Methinks I hear every leaf of that author's com- pendious dictionary shrieking, like the babes at the massacre of Saint Bartho- lemew.
CRITO wistfully admonishes L'HIRONDELLE, lest he receive a future flagellation. This term is a little indefinite. Let CRITO beware, lest his kindness be multi , and himself receive, in advance, a kick of the breech.

NEW-YORK, March 7.
The State of Pennsylvania, by its liberal encouragement of every species of improvement, sets an excellent example for her sister states. The legislature of New York have set a similar example in respect to public education; but the business of the Lock Navigation in this state meets with difficulties, perhaps not very honorable to the state. Is it not surprising that there can be such a thing as PARTY, about improvements that must confessedly be beneficial in a high degree, to every class of citizens.
Prejudice is removed only by slow degrees. Five years ago a bill for the establishment of public schools could scarcely obtain a reading in the assembly of this state. Now a similar bill passes by a great majority. But perhaps two or three times five years will be necessary to destroy a prejudice of another kind; which is, the public opinion that the business of teaching schools is disreputable. This is a monarchical prejudice, which took root in those colonies which were formerly royal governments; and is more hostile to good public education, than all other causes.
In some of the Eastern states, this prejudice has never existed to any considerable degree. So far from it, that the best characters are generally selected as instructors of schools. Students of the most respectable families are taken from the graduates of the universities to teach the first rudiments of learning and morals; and a great proportion of those characters, who now fill the highest seats of government, as Senators and Representatives, both in the National and State Legislatures, were employed as instructors of schools,
on their first leaving the Colleges where they were educated.
To destroy the prejudices existing against the reputation of this business, will be a great point gained in this state; and it is a point that demands the attention of all liberal minded-men.

UTILITY OF THE STAGE.
"If the Theatre," says La Motte, in his ingenious essay on poetry and painting, "were to be shut up, the stage wholly silenced and suppressed, I believe the world, as bad as it is now, would be then ten times more wicked and debauched." This was once the case at Milan: when Charles Barromeus took possession of the Archbishopric, he, out of abundance of zeal and severity, shut up the play house, and expelled the players, trollers and minstrels, as debauchees and corrupters of mankind. He soon had reason to alter his opinion, for he found that the people ran into all manner of excesses; and, that wanting something to amuse and divert them, they committed the most horrid crimes by way of pastime. It was on this account he repented of his edict, recalled the banished players, and granted them a free use and liberty of the stage. Similar instances might be produced to shew how dangerous it is to suppress this amusement—but in this philosophic age every person can determine this point for himself.
COMUS.
[The foregoing remarks prove only that where people are extremely attached to theatrical amusements, they will not readily resign the pleasure derived from them; and where manners are already extremely corrupt, the stage does not make them worse. So far may be true. But where morals are pure and manners simple, will any man be hardy enough to say, the stage does not accelerate the progress of corruption and depravity?
It is a remark as old as Tacitus, that to preserve morals, an ignorance of vice is of more consequence than a knowledge of virtue. No remark can be more just, as it respects public manners. Vice should not be known to persons, till they are old enough to be fortified against its temptations. Neither the stage nor novels injure persons whose judgment is matured, and whose principles, established. But facts prove that both sometimes lead astray the young and unsuspecting.]
NORFOLK, Feb. 28.
On Wednesday last, during the sale of the estate of the late Charles Godfrey, the dwelling-house was discovered to be on fire; notwithstanding the exertions and timely aid of numbers who attended the sale, the flames were so rapid that they baffled every attempt to get the fire under, until the whole of an elegant brick building and a kitchen adjoining were demolished. We are sorry to learn that there were many articles of household furniture and wearing apparel, destroyed. This is the second dreadful conflagration in Princess Ann county within these eight days.
LANCASTER, March 4.
At a Court of Oyer and Terminer, held at Lancaster on the 24th of February 1795, the trials of Robert Hancock, William Shaw, Joseph Price and Margaret Price, who were indicted at a preceding court for counterfeiting and passing Five and Ten Dollar Bank Notes of the Bank of the United States, commenced. In course of the investigation of the several charges, it appeared very satisfactorily that the prisoners though charged and tried separately on account of the charges resting on individuals, were companions in guilt, on a fair hearing before different juries they were all convicted on three indictments, the two former were sentenced to undergo a confinement of fifteen years each; the latter to sixteen years on account of some stronger circumstances of guilt appearing against him than the others—and a fine of 300 dollars each—Margaret Price being charged and convicted on one indictment only, was, from the consideration of her sex, sentenced to a confinement of four years, the shortest period in the discretion of the court with a fine of 50 dollars. Previously to passing sentence, the President made a number of judicious observations to the prisoners, calculated to shew the aggravated nature of their offence. The filling the bills, & the signatures, very fortunately were clumsy and badly executed, which we fondly hope have led to an early detection of two denominations of Bank paper, which from the accuracy of the copperplate execution bit fair, with the aid of masterly penmanship, widely to extend the most afflicting and destructive ruin.

INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY.
Mr. Ruffel, WE hear that citizen CONSTITUTIONAL JACOBIN-CLUB lies danger.

ill; he is supposed to be in a galloping consumption, occasioned by a kick he received from the President's horse LEE, in the Western Counties of Pennsylvania, where he was comforting his "Pittsburgh brethren," and that a mortification has taken place in consequence of a pick in the heel given him by a JAY. Others say that his constitution has failed, ever since he swallowed some bitter herbs given him by GARDENER.
ACTION, the parent of this darling BOY, is so overwhelmed with grief, that he cannot be persuaded to leave his bed for one minute, but is continually weeping and wailing over him. Her "trusty HONESTUS" (a) is almost distracted, and fears he will spin a halter for himself. GARDNER, (b) for putting her beloved brother into so much PAINE (c) is continually upon the run, to pick up comfortable things for him—He has procured a French soup, flavored from a TOM TIT & a LARK in a COOPER'S (d) can, which is highly recommended in CHRONIC diseases. He applied to the DOCTOR for his advice, who absolutely refused it, and declared upon his honor, that "he never was, nor never could be at the head or tail of any party." He next applied to one of the "ORDER" who is esteemed for his confident character, and begged him to write his brother's will; he absolutely refused, saying he had nearly ruined his character for being so often in his company, and recommended TOMMY Silver soul, he, being ashamed of his CRAFT, advised the deal-breaker SCHOOL-MASTER, who said "he was willing to do any thing for the good of his mistress, provided the SECRETARY would engross it." He next set out to get watchmen for his brother, after searching all the halter shops and Infirmary Offices, near State-Street, he could find only one poor FELLOW, (e) and he would not go, without they would make him a moderator. It is thought he cannot live long; at his death, a description will be given of his funeral.

Third Letter on PARTIES. Addressed to the People of the State of New-York.
I HAVE already attempted to show that though parties may have been of some service in the cause of liberty, in former periods and under the irregular forms of government, which history in all hands exhibits to our view, yet when canvassed and applied to our own institutions, lose their principal if not their own force. But let us not be content with considering the possible good which may have been derived from them. The innumerable crimes the divisive wars, the monstrous image of moral evil and human misery, which have sprung from party-spirit, are objects more strongly visible, more interesting, more affecting to the human heart. It is impossible that society should be in a state of violence and agitation, without bearing upon its features impressions of distortion and pain, severe indeed in proportion to the height of the inflammation; but lasting, according to the nature and tendency of the violent state. Parties may sometimes be termed remedial; where the object of their application is to expel the corrupt humours and restore family and vigor to a diseased constitution. In such case, the remedy may be painful, it may raise a temporary fever, or produce present debility; But the final relief more than repays the difficulty, the sufferings, the distress attending the operation. Such has been the nature of all the contests between the people and their powerful oppressors in all ages and nations—one party has contended for the power, which the contingencies of war, or the influence of superstition have enabled them to usurp; the other for rights, which nature had bestowed but tyranny withheld from them. The object of one party has been to maintain her present advantages; that of the other to accomplish a great end, the happiness of future times. Wherever this contest exists, the friend of mankind always feels a consolation in contemplating the final issue, whatever may be the struggle, the hardships, the perils, the torture which freedom and humanity sustain in the trial. Even the follies of the people, their high intemperance, their cruel outrages in a revolutionary state, are excused, while tyranny excises their rage, and liberty in their glorious aim. But tho' the examples in history of the conflicts between right and power, between the people and their rulers, are of high importance, they are few in number, and bear no comparison in point and extent to those of another kind, whose only tendency has been to distract society, without securing any
future good, without ameliorating the condition of mankind—such has been the spirit of all factions, which have grown out of personal ambition; factions in which the people have been only the blind, deluded and miserable instruments of proud and bloody tyrants. Compare the contests of the red and white rose in England with the dissensions between the patricians and the plebeians of the Roman republic: or the horrors of the league and other civil wars in France with the struggles between the people of England and their princes of the house of Stuart: Can you turn from the latter to the former without shuddering with horror? Can you turn from the former to the latter, without a glow of pleasing pride and animated sympathy? In all those interesting periods, the people, alike, suffered innumerable evils; but the great difference rested in the principle and motive of the struggle; In the one, the cause of freedom and general happiness was advancing: in the other it was agonizing in chains and in silence. In the former, the sufferings of the people were but a sacrifice reduced and rendered easy by the energy of hope: in the latter they were the earnest of future calamities still more certain and durable.
It would be a curious and interesting research, to trace the history of parties from their first appearance to the present day.—Such a history indeed would form a compendium of the annals of all mixed governments hitherto known; so entirely have civil and domestic dissensions interwoven themselves in the very frame and texture of such government. In such an enquiry, how few would appear to belong to the noble class I have mentioned, in which the people themselves form one distinct party, and in which their ultimate happiness is the motive and the reward! What a long and melancholy catalogue would rise in review, of factions founded on pride, on folly, on wanton ambition, and ending in misery, slavery and ten-fold despotism! It would appear perhaps that the wars and convulsions in the civilized world, that have arisen from the spirit of party, are more numerous, more lasting and fatal than those which have sprung from the spirit of conquest or from any other whatever, not excepting the spirit of religious bigotry. Indeed the fair image of religion has often been borne alike upon the shield of the factious leader, and the military crusader. Faction has usually courted the aid of superstition; and superstition in its turn, by its dividing, exclusive and malignant spirit, has fomented the virulence, and prolonged the rage of faction. In the parties which prevailed in France, during the minority of Charles IX, one of the most bloody and terribly that has ever polluted the page of history, two great and ambitious noblemen assumed the banners of the church, and espoused the cause of two contending sects: After the melancholy and dreadful vicissitudes of three civil wars, the ambition and animosity of these two rival chiefs were extinguished only by the murder of both, and the massacre of thirty thousand of one party at a single stroke.
The spirit of foreign conquest destructive in its effects and unjust in its principles, is necessarily connected with the love of fame and glory, an object which animates as well to good actions as to bad ones; it sometimes allures and influences men of generous tempers; it really, except in a barbarous state of society, marks the influence of the malignant passions. Besides, the spirit of conquest tends sometimes to improve, to civilize, to enlighten: much is wasted, much is often gained. But look at the spirit of party, as it appears in history—where is its birth? From pride, jealousy and revenge;—What is its natural issue? Disorder division and destruction. The spirit of conquest is ruinous in its means, but it feels an interest in, and protects what it has won; the spirit of party finds gratification only in the annihilation of its opposers, and the waste of its own interests—the bad passions, which constitute this spirit, are inhuman and fostered by the constant presence of its enemy, and by the numerous points of opposition continually presented. On these principles rests the just and common distinction remarked between foreign and civil war, which latter is nothing more than the fever or paroxysm of faction; and thus the feuds and convulsions in small states are generally found more deadly, more inveterate and fatal than those which prevail in extensive nations. Conquests are often determined by the event of a single invasion. The great mass of the invaded people having often only a general and uncertain interest in the preservation of their political independence, have little personal rancour against the invading power to gratify by obstinate perseverance; of course the submission of the civil body often easily and naturally follows the defeat of the military; but in domestic factions, personal hatred and animosity infect the whole community—each individual has a strong interest, a strong affection and aversion; and tho' eventual success in one party may possibly disable the exertions of the other for a time, it always enrages and embitters the rancorous spirit. It is extremely difficult therefore that deadly factions, when once seated in a small state, should terminate without
the total destruction of one or both parties, or without some violent revolution, in which both are deprived of their pretensions and power. Abundant and melancholy examples to justify these remarks, may be found in the civil convulsions of the Grecian commonwealths; in the ruinous dissensions of the Republic of Geneva, and in the more remarkable and more dreadful civil wars of the Italian states, in the middle ages; particularly those of Florence and Genoa, where a people, the earliest in commerce and the arts, and the first in the refinements of life, became, by the baneful influence of faction more fierce and savage than any then existing in the world.—Terror and murder for a long and gloomy period, became the order of the day, and the whole body of the people threw away the instruments of commerce and cultivation, to bury their fellow mortals, and feed on blood. In the history of war, and the revolutions of empire, the transactions of these communities are but obscurely seen by reason of their circumscribed extent and small weight in the general scale; but in the historical portraiture of faction, and form a group the most instructive to the political, the most affliction to the moral philosopher. But had I the means or opportunity to enter into ample details on this topic, volumes would hardly contain the bare specification of examples; much less the full process of reasoning to be drawn from those examples to show the mischievous and fatal tendency of party spirit.

By this Day's Mail. BOSTON, March 4. OF FRENCH AFFAIRS.
The public accuser of the revolutionary tribunal has signified to his fellow-citizens his intention of printing his excellent address to the Jury, and applying the profits arising from the sale, to alleviate the distress of the numerous orphans at Nantz, whose parents have been so cruelly put to death by the arbitrary orders of the monster Carrier. This is the reason that only a few extracts from the address have as yet appeared in the French papers. We remark the following beautiful passage in his discourse: "TRUTH! thou daughter of the skies! descend into this sanctuary!—Serve with me the cause of Liberty, thy companion. Too long has imposture spoken in thy name. Lead me that tongue of fire, which is thy emblem, and make my words as pure, as holy, as thyself!"
From various articles in the Paris papers, and the debates in the Convention, it seems to be acknowledged in France, that Danton, Lacroix, and the other deputies executed with them, were unjustly put to death, and fell, like thousands of others, the innocent victims of Robespierre's cruelty and jealousy. The expulsion of the Brissot party, from the Convention, is also spoken of as one of the unlawful wicked measures of the now detested Jacobin faction.—What will certain men amongst us say now; men who forgetting every principle of reason, justice, humanity, and true republicanism, have for two years past, so piously resigned themselves to every thing done in France, and so heartily cursed their fellow-citizens, who dared to think for themselves, and doubt the propriety of many scenes that have taken place in that country.
It is asserted in the Paris papers, that there is scarcely a single family in France, which has not lost one or more of its members, by the shocking barbarities that have been exercised during the reign of the last Jacobin tyrants. How often have the citizens of the United States been insulted with the triumphs of Jacobinism? Murder was
necessity—robbery was necessity—depopulation of cities, villages and towns, was necessity—all was necessity! Let Americans beware of men who can thus attempt to cloak crimes! It was then exultingly said, that France contained twenty-five millions of Jacobins! But, reader, mark the truth! What say the present rulers of France? They deny it. We denied it then—we deny it still.
THE GENERAL COURT of the Commonwealth, is adjourned, to meet in this town, on the Tuesday next preceding the last Wednesday of May next.
