Anticipated paragraphs for the Albany Gazette, 15 years hence.
Albany, 10th July 1810. NOTHING, says a correspondent, can be more pleasing at this busy season of the year, than a walk along the whole length of the quay, in front of this flourishing city, from where the continental store formerly stood, to nearly opposite the town of Bath, upwards of one mile in extent. Those who can recollect 15 or 20 years back must be astonished at the pleasing contrast! In those inactive days, a few wharves, or as they were then improperly called docks, buried in mud, were the only conveniencies for shipping the produce of the country to New-York, and often times vessels were crowded 7 or 8 deep, and what made it still more disagreeable, was the awkward manner of loading them by means of horse-carts. In respect to public accommodations we were also most miserably defective. The scene is entirely changed. We may now challenge any city in America to produce so many elegant and commodious inns as in this place; and it has been observed that since their establishment, Albany has become the fashionable resort of people on their way to the Springs, or on their travels; formerly, on the contrary, for the want of decent and comfortable accommodations, their only study was to clear themselves of this gloomy retreat as fast as possible. In approaching the city by water, the noble, large warehouses fronting the river, strike the eye of the stranger in the most agreeable manner: but in landing on the quay the scene is still more interesting; when immersed in the busy crowd of anxious sons of commerce, eagerly engaged in the pursuit of wealth—and the whole length of the quay lined with ships and brigs, river craft and above all coasting vessels, from every part of the Union, and the river alive with large loaded lighters, bringing the produce of the country through the canals lately finished, from the extremities of Lake Champlain north, and from all the western waters through the Locks, near the Cohoes Falls, delivering their freights immediately on board the vessels at the quays, while others are returning laden with the comforts and even luxuries of almost every clime, to carry into those distant and fertile regions, which about 20 or 30 years ago were in a state of nature, but already thickly peopled. Besides, families are continually moving on as well from the eastern hive, as those who are flying from the oppression of the remaining despotism of Europe, seeking an asylum in this land of liberty and happiness; and crowding into our new settlements, by means of the easy and cheap mode of water carriage, instead of encountering every danger and inconvenience by land, as was early predicted would be the case. When the canals were first in contemplation about the year 1791, people at large viewed the attempt as impracticable, and the visionary project of some distempered brain, but the event has proved, that all the commerce, and even the settlements of this northern and western world would have been nearly arrested in their progress but for the canals: especially as the former mode of transporting produce by sleighs in the winter, can no longer be depended on; as it is found, by the attentive observation of old people, that the extremes both of our winters and summers are greatly ameliorated. In a word, it may be truly said, that the completion of the canals has in one sense lengthened the noble river Hudson into our northern and western extremities, as the produce is now collected in stores, (built on the margin of the rivers of these extensive waters) in the winters, and shipped from thence in river craft, to this market in summer. Another very important point is also gained to the farmers, which has greatly enriched them, for instead of keeping numerous horses as they used to do to carry their produce to market, they only seek a store at the nearest water carriage, which has been the means of introducing among them oxen instead of many devouring horses—hence they have more grain and beef for market. The canals have proved the primary cause of the rapid advance of this city in wealth and opulence—next to these, may be ranked the fortunate introduction of foreign commerce, which has been only fully established within a few years; previous to our glorious revolution some feeble efforts were made to introduce this lucrative branch of trade for which this place is so happily adapted—these attempts expired were made till some years after peace, and this second essay was also of short duration, owing to the impediments of the navigation of the river at the Over Slough, and for the want of men of enterprize and capital, skilled in this branch of trade; but as soon as the canals began to advance
into active operation and the produce of the country began to find its way to our market by river craft, the scene suddenly changed, and men of capital and a swarm of adventurers were allured to this city from all quarters—their attention naturally turned quickly to the idea of exporting their produce to foreign markets instead of throwing this obvious advantage into the hands of merchants in New-York—the over slough was in consequence attacked, and surprising to relate, what had been always deemed a mountain to encounter, dwindled down to a mole-hill—a permanent channel was gained at a trifling expence, and from that moment may be dated our respectable rise in foreign navigation, instead of confining all our views to the subordinate and humble objects of mere river traffic. To these two grand causes with the revival and increase of the fur trade aided by an active and enlightened co-operation of a discerning corporation (who began their career, on liberal and enlarged views of policy, some where about the year 1789) we may justly attribute all our success.

REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
IN the trial of the Revolutionary Committee of Nantes, by whom, under the direction of Carrier, so many cruelties were perpetrated, few circumstances more affecting occurred than the following account, given in evidence of the plunder of a Chateau, and the ruin of a family. The detail of such incidents must be interesting, tho' it causes the mind to revolt with horror at the miseries which war and above all, a civil war engenders. Soufflay, widow Tarrel; stated, that she was 57 years of age, had been a prisoner for 13 months, that she lived on the revenue of her estates, which are situated on the right side of the Loire, and three leagues from Nantes: (here Chaux, the prisoner's advocate, exclaimed, an ex-noble, an ex-noble), yes, continued the witness, my husband was a Noble, and he died of grief. Chaux, replied, yes, of grief that Aristocracy did not succeed. The judges reminded Chaux that he ought not to interrupt the course of evidence, or intimidate the witnesses; that the further they entered into debates the more disrespectful he became, & that he must have perceived that so far from his conduct being approved, every body was disgusted at it. The widow Tarrel continued; on the 22d October, 1793, the armed force composed of blacks and whites, among whom was Pinaré, surrounded my house. They carried away all our family papers, between 4000 and 5000 livres in assignats, 21 Louis d'ors from one of my sisters in law, and one, together with some silver, from me. When going away, they threatened us with a second visit, on the following day; and really returned at two in the morning. Pinaré was again with them. They were headed by a negro. This time they made us all get up and descend to the hall, where we were confined. The whole of our effects were packed up and loaded in thirty waggons which were waiting at the gates, the poultry being placed in one of them. The waggons set off, and the whole family were likewise carried away, among these were my four sisters in law, ex-religieuses, one of whom, upwards of 83 years of age, had been robbed. One of my sisters in law had saved from 700 to 800 livres, and having been informed that it was intended to burn our house, she offered them to her guards if they would prevent this conflagration: they appeared to agree to this condition, and accepted the money, but the house was consumed. (Emotions of horror were expressed by the judges and auditors.) Pinaré was present. After this, they placed us in a tumbrill; there was a cabriolet that belonged to us but they forbade us to use it, and tied it behind the cart. My husband, 63 years old, followed on foot; we were then conducted before the Revolutionary Committee at Nantes. When we were there the Mulatto Lieutenant made the recital of his capture, and boasted of his moderation, since, he said, his orders authorized him to kill and burn. The Committee answered him that he would have done right. My sisters in law and I, were conducted to the Bon Pasteur, and my husband was taken to the Saintes Claire, the Eprouvriers, and ultimately to the Sanitaire, where he died. Four others of my relations have also died; and the who was 83 years old, and was stripped of every thing, out lived her imprisonment but three weeks. When we entered the prison, we were informed that we were to be fed on bread and water, and not to be allowed straw: nevertheless, on a representation of a mind more tenderly constructed, the latter was granted to us. I am ignorant of what has been done with the furniture, effects, and plate, which were taken away. I have to add that, about 15 days prior to our arrestation, Binare came to put a mark upon our horses, and, looking fearfully at our house, he said to one of his companions, "I have burnt handsomer ones than this;" " & if you have," replied his friend, "I do not think that such actions have been among the best of your life. "We did not," continued the witness, "conceive that we merited such treatment. We had cheerfully submitted to all the taxes and requisitions which had been imposed on us, and having nothing to reproach ourselves with, we remained at our homes, thinking to terminate our days in tranquility, under the protection
of the laws; the district which we inhabited, was ever peaceable, and we had done nothing to disturb that peace.
IRELAND.
TRALEE, Sept. 29.
On Wednesday morning last, the unfortunate John Herbert was executed at Gallows green, near this town, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of his wife, on the 29th of August last near Bedford in this county. The circumstances that led to his conviction are entitled to notice. It was proved, that he and his wife set out on horseback from Tarbert on the evening of the 27th with an intention of going to the Fair of Liffowell. It appeared in evidence that they were benighted at the Cross of Gunborough, and as he was a stranger in that part of the country, took a guide thence to Golcbridge, where he treated the guide and another person with three half pints of whiskey, and half a pint of the same spirit in punch, of all which he partook: as it was then late, his wife expressed a wish of remaining that night at the house of one McCarthy. This he opposed, and recommended her proceeding to the house of a friend of her's at Liffowell, to which she consented. The witnesses were unanimously declaring, that while they remained in their company, they to all appearance seemed in perfect amity with each other. The dismal catastrophe that ensued, must remain in mystery and gloom. Circumstances can only elucidate the matter, and that to a respectable Jury, appeared conclusive. Herbert appeared at the Inn in Liffowell, late at night, with the pillion behind him on which Mrs. Herbert rode from home; here he met with an acquaintance, with whom he drank a bottle of wine, conversed cheerfully, and retired to rest—During all this time he appeared quite undisturbed. On being asked for his wife, he said he left her as the house of a Gentleman next door to the Inn. He next day appeared publicly at the Fair, heard a report of a woman being found dead in the dyke of the road near Bedford, and still no agitation was discoverable till he was informed the murdered woman was his own wife! then he seemed appalled with distress, and immediately went to the Inn, and mentioned the circumstance to his friend, who advised him to abscond this he rejected, as such a procedure would fix an imputation of guilt upon him, which he declared he was free from, and was resolved to abide the consequence that might result. He was then taken into custody, and the Magistrate who took him prisoner, deposed that the furtive he wore was all on one side besmeared with mire, which he refused to assign any cause for.—The surgeon deposed, that among other marks of violence, her neck was broke. His own account of this tragical event which he certainly adhered to invariably, from the time it happened till the time of his launching into eternity, was simply this: that his wife having fallen from behind him on the road, without receiving any injury, he endeavoured to persuade her to get behind him again, at length, in order to frighten her, he threatened to ride off and leave her alone, on her persisting, he rode to some distance, and at this time could hear her walking after him; suddenly the noise of her footsteps ceased, and, although he returned immediately, calling on her in a loud voice, he could not discover the smallest trace of her: he then went to Liffowell, expecting that she would join him there early the next morning it being a mile from the place he missed her. His motive for saying that he left her at a friend's house at Liffowell arose from a delicacy, lest it should be suspected that he was not in a situation to appear.—His body was delivered to Dr. Murphy of the Kerry Hospital.
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
Sitting of the 18th Dec.
Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tainville, aged 47 years, born at Herouan, district of St. Quentin, ex-procurer at the Chatelet, ex-public accuser at the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris, has appeared before his judges. He is accused of having wickedly, and with criminal designs, strangely and in every manner, prevaricated in the functions of his office, of having seconded and favoured the licentious and counter-revolutionary projects and plots of the enemies of the people and the republic, and of having himself conspired, as author or accomplice, against the interior safety of the state, and the French people; of having consequently aimed at the dissolution of the national representation, the destruction of the republican government, and the re-establishment of royalty; of having fought, by murder and terror, to produce an arming of the citizens, one against the other, and excite a civil war. He is accused of having caused to be condemned and executed many persons, without presenting an act of accusation against them, or observing in their favour any formalities, ordered by the law. In many cases he substituted one person for another, so that persons who were never tried or condemned, were put to death, and many who were condemned, are now at liberty. One article of the accusation mentioned a citizen, whom he condemned and executed for writing to him to demand his liberty. I appeared to Fouquier, that the petitioner was in haste, and that he ought to be satisfied. Thus he amused himself with misery, and by a refinement of cruelty, sent this victim to the scaffold, with a cart full of assassins, and habited like them in a red shirt, though he had never been charged with any such crime. Having several times ordered one of the serjeants of the hall to take out of prison for trial, a man whom he named, and being told by the serjeant, that there were several of the same name, in the same prison, he answered, "then bring them all." They were accordingly all brought out, condemned and executed, without any accusation against either of them. A secretary of the tribune declared, that he one day saw Fouquier Tainville in the lobby with the jurors. They were passing jokes on the guillotine and the guillotined. Fouquier said, so many a day, that will give us from four to five hundred each decade, and the jurors applauded. After the affair of Danton, Camille des Moulin, and the rest, began the

PARIS, Dec. 6.
The crimes of which the members of the revolutionary committee of Nantes have been guilty, have depopulated a considerable part of the French territory. They have caused to perish in the midst of torments, patriot citizens and virtuous men. The desolated banks of the Loire witness against them, and history will transmit their names with horror to posterity. If these execrable crimes remain unpunished, we have only to draw a funeral veil over the altar of justice, and in mournful silence, wait the dissolution of the republic and the return of servitude. One charge against the old committee of Public Safety, is that during the forty days that Robespierre absented himself from the committee, immediately preceding his fall, there were guillotined in Paris, four hundred more persons, than had ever been guillotined before in the same space of time.

All is tranquil in this city. We continue to progress with confidence under the standard of the Convention, since it is no longer governed by the factious, and to pursue with ardour those villains who have covered France with misery and cruelty, and who yet pretend to excuse their crimes, by saying, they acted under an authority, which it is known they held in chains; as if there could be any power in the world which had the right to permit those assassinations, plunderings and robberies of every kind, of which our country has been the theatre; as if there could exist any authority on earth which had the right to immerse a whole people into a bath of blood.

From the COLUMBIAN CENTINEL.
FRENCH AFFAIRS.
We intended that our last translations from the Paris papers, which so fully verified the predictions so often repeated in the Centinel the two years last past, that the eyes of the French people would in time be opened to see the barbarous tyranny which oppressed and destroyed them—should close our accounts of the late scenes of blood in France. But we then detailed only the crimes of one who seemed to delight in human carnage, merely as a gratification to his diabolical heart. We have thought it necessary to add thereto the following, from the indictment against Tainville, the attorney general under Robespierre; who, worse than Carrier, prosecuted his bloody work, apparently under the sacred sanction of law and justice. The lesson inculcated

custom of arraigning sixty prisoners at once, but it was not fully adopted until Robespierre and his partisans thought proper no longer to disguise their horrible intentions. At that epoch Fouquier-caused to be constructed all round the hall a number of benches, rising one above the other, like the gallery of a theatre, up to the cornice of the ceiling, so as to receive a greater number of victims at a time. They were usually taken without distinction from all the prisons, and the number commonly tried and condemned at a time, was from 60 to 70. The evening before, or the morning of the trial, the act of accusation was given to some of the prisoners; it was often never signified to them at all, no witness questioned for or against, and no official defender allowed them.
Often, for want of a victim, some innocent spectator was seized in the hall, placed instantly among the accused, and condemned.
After they had spread the report, that an attempt had been made to assassinate Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois, they had picked up 80 persons for trial. Few or no witnesses were heard in that affair. The accused taken at hazard from different prisons, did not even know one another. L'Amira, the reputed assassin, had never seen the unhappy family of Renard. They were however all charged with the attempt to assassinate Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois. Dumas, the President holding the list in his hand, said to each of the accused, "Do you know any thing of this conspiracy?" They all answered "no." "If any of them attempted to make an observation," "you have no longer the right of speaking" replied Dumas. If they insisted, they were condemned immediately. This operation began at 10 o'clock in the morning, and was finished at 12 or 12 1/2. The jurors then returned into their chamber, and in a quarter of an hour returned, and made their declaration, on their souls and consciences, that all the accused were guilty of the attempt to assassinate Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois. The prisoners were not permitted to be present when the President pronounced judgment on them, for fear they might in despair, be guilty of some excess. They were all assembled in the prison, a secretary read over the sentence to them, and they were immediately conducted to the guillotine!
These bloody scenes would no doubt have excited shame and remorse in the breast of any other man. But Fouquier-Tainville, on the contrary, has been known to make merry, and boast of the prodigious number of victims, which he every day sacrificed; to complain and regret that he could not sacrifice more; to promise himself the pleasure of being soon able to do it, and with a horrid effrontery appear to receive the most sensible pleasure from this inconceivable hope; and the more speedily to realize it, he employed the most criminal manoeuvres, and such unheard of measures, that it seemed as if the important sword of the law & the sceptre of justice, moved by his terrible hands, had been, in effect, the fire brand of fury, and the sacrilegious poignard of cruelty.
He was invited, during eighteen months with the painful obligation of pursuing and punishing crimes; but honored at the same time with the holy and consolatory power of raising his voice in favor of innocence, of defending it and of protecting it. He was however, capable of the cruel pleasure of confusing these two duties, and taking them in an inverse sense.

On Tuesday last ISRAEL WHELEN, Esq. was elected a Senator, to represent the city and county of Philadelphia, and the county of Delaware, in the Senate of this Commonwealth, by a large majority.
Yesterday arrived the brig Lavinia, Capt Jones, from Kingston, Jamaica. Several ships, Capt. Jones informs, had returned to Jamaica from the coast of Africa, without any slaves, the settlements having been destroyed by a squadron of French ships of war.

The Eastern Mail was not arrived when this Gazette was put to press.
A writer in the Virginia Gazette published at Richmond the 11th Instant; speaking of the commercial Resolutions introduced into the House of Representatives in 1794—makes the following remarks.
Other transactions shew that those gentlemen were right in thinking some of the patrons of those propositions were disposed to have a war with Great Britain; the Virginia senators afterwards, the one moved and the other seconded that the fourth article of the treaty of peace which stipulated the payment of debts, should be suspended, and this they did a few days after John Jay accepted of his mission for the purpose of obtaining reparation for injuries done to our citizens by Great Britain, and of adjusting other differences between the two countries. These senators and those
patrons of the commercial propositions were in concert as to their political objects—and the motion of the one and the propositions of the other were parts of the same war policy.
But Admitting the Virginia system would not certainly produce war with Great-Britain, still if it had a tendency to it; that was sufficient ground for rejecting it; why it may be asked should the greater part of the Virginia delegation be desirous or careless of hostilities; various causes occur which it is possible had some operation; but to what extent or which of them really influenced them; I do not offer to assert—Envy, that all perverting passion. Discontent at seeing the nation prosperous under laws which they had opposed and under an administration which they had held up to the people as designing the ruin of their liberties.
 1. Ambition to stand foremost in the public eye in point of legislation.  2. The love of power & the passion of dictating; a passion which education and habit in Virginia renders imperious over men of the mildest tempers.  3. Antipathy to the payment of old British debts, which in some parts of the commonwealth is too prevalent.  4. Personal resentment.  5. Affection of superior public virtue.  6. An opinion that it was better to go to war with Great Britain than to submit any longer to her aggressions.  7. Ignorance of the real interest of America.  8. Political vanity or an over-rating the national strength and resources. 
The following interesting Intelligence was copied from papers with which we were favored by Capt. Jones. [Am. Daily Adv.]
KINGSTON, February 10.
HIS Majesty's ship Iphigenia, Capt. Garduer, with four or five of the captured Republican privateers, is hourly expected at Port Royal.
It seems that the ship Achilles, the arrival of which consumed a former account of the depredations of the French on the African coast, reached Sierra Leone a fortnight after the enemy's departure.
The whole of the settlement, for a range of two miles from the sea coast into the country, was in ruins; no part of the numerous houses and stores remaining but the bare walls, nor a vessel, whether coaster or otherwise, to be seen.
The settlers were extremely dissatisfied with the conduct of their governor, who, much more fitted by habit and constitution for the pastor of a congregation of methodists than the post he then held, was panic struck on the first appearance of the enemy, and, on a shot being fired from the frigate, which struck his own house, immediately hauled down the colours with his own hands, piously resigning himself and his trust to the will of Providence.
A battery of 20 twenty four pounders and stores well filled with musketry and ammunition, one would have imagined, should have enabled this mock apostle to make a vigorous defence, if not beat off the enemy; but in vain did a deputation of the settlers press for the opening of the magazines, and the free blacks from Halifax volunteer their services to man the batteries. Their ruler being better read in scripture than tactics, only recollected that "Whosoever sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed," and quietly gave up the place to the mercy of the Sans Culottes, who rewarded his forbearance by carrying off every thing that was worth removing, and destroying all the rest. In one schooner alone they found twenty five tons of ivory, a quantity of gold dust, and some other valuable articles.
February 11.
We were yesterday obliged, by the Gentleman to whom it is addressed, with the following copy of a letter from the Captain of a Guinea ship, dated off Bance Island, December 26, 1794.
"I take the opportunity of the brig, which is to sail from the Isle De Lofs in two days for Grenada, to inform you that I arrived on the coast on the 7th October, and came to anchor in Sierra Leone river that day, and was surprised to see 7 large vessels laying off Free Town, Sierra Leone, and a brig and a sloop under way and making for us; the sloop being nearer than the brig I sent my small boat, with the chief mate and two men on board her, to gain information, but no sooner my boat was on board her than they hailed me, and told me I had better make no resistance, for the fleet I saw was French, and the brig that was so near, would soon settle my business; and told me at the same
time, that Sierra Leone, Bance Island, and all the English settlements on the Windward Coast were in their hands. To all this I made no answer, but demanded my boat and people, and at the same time began to fire on the sloop till I saw the boat put off from her. I got the boat and two men, but they detained my mate as a prisoner. By this time the brig was very near hand us, when I could easily discover her to be a French Brig of 18 guns, and another Brig under sail after her; I then ordered the cable to be cut, and make all sail; the brig had by this time five large launches towing her, and about 1 P. M. falling nearly calm, she came within gun shot of us when a running fight commenced which lasted at various distances till 7 in the evening, when, luckily for us, some of our shot took effect, and carried away her studding sail booms, after which we dropped her very fast, and we were soon out of her sight.
"I then steered for Cape Mount, as well to give information of the enemy to any English ships which might be there, as to obtain all possible information for my own safety; I was there informed with too much credibility that Sierra Leone, Bance Island, the Isle de Lofs, and all the English settlements on the Windward Coast, were then destroyed and burnt by the enemy."
On the 11th I left Cape Mount, in company with the Ann and Philip of Liverpool, Capt. Clark, and left the Isle de Lofs, Capt. Finley, who would not come away with us, and was taken, a few days after, at anchor there. I kept boxing about from one hole to another till I found the French had left Sierra Leone, I then steered for the river, and arrived at Bance Island on the 5th November, and found all the above information true, and was informed of the force of the enemy, and the prizes taken by them on the Windward Coast, a list of which you will find subjoined.
"My fortune has been particularly good, every thing considered, as not a vessel on the Windward Coast has escaped falling into the hands of the French, except the Ann and Philip and myself. The Duke is the only ship with slaves for your Island, and indeed from any other part as far as I know, as the French were to range the coast all the way down. I can only inform you I shall lose no time in making the best of my way to Jamaica."
"A list of the French Fleet:—The Experiment of 50 guns and 600 men; La Vigilante of 40 guns and 300 men; La Felicite of 20 guns and 280 men; and the La Province, a large brig, of 18 twelve pounders and 220 men, (the same which chased and engaged me on the 7th October); the Moline, another brig of 12 guns and 180 men, besides some of the armed ships they had taken. All their guns were said to be 12 pounders."
"The following is a list of prizes taken by the above fleet that I know of: The Jean of Liverpool, Captain Wright; the Swift of Liverpool, Capt. Fell; the Nancy of Liverpool, Capt. Smith; the Harpy of London, Capt. Telford; the Sophy of London, Capt. Bevis; the Flora of Bristol, Captain Thompson; the Prince of Wales, Capt. Webb; the Barbadoes of Liverpool, Capt. Jones; the Befs of Bristol, Capt. Arundel; the Margery of Liverpool, Capt. Hollywell; the Molly of Liverpool, Capt. Sellers; the Sierra Leone Packet, Capt. Bucket; the Cutter, Capt. —: besides all the craft at Sierra Leone, the Isle de Lofs, and many other places. I was told from good authority that they had 27 English prizes on their list before they passed Baffa."
Letters from Port au Prince, dated the 4th inst. speak in a very unpleasant manner of a plan, which was to have been put in execution the proceeding Sunday, for exciting a general commotion. The plot was fortunately discovered on the preceding evening and four of the principals, on full conviction of their perfidy, were condemned and executed.

Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.

Scoop the hard bosom of the solid rock;
Resistless through the stiff opposing clay,
With ready patience, work their gradual way;
Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood
Through the brown horrors of the aged wood;
Crofs the lone waste the silver urn they pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor

The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees;
And views the alter'd landscape with surprise
And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise.
Now like a flock of swans, above his head,
Their woven wings the flying vessels spread
Now meeting streams, in artificial mazes, glide
While each, unmixed, pours a separate tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves below.
The ductile streams obey the guiding hand,
And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! 2awtf

THE NEIGHBOUR. No. xci.
FALLING in company, the other day, with a man, who appeared, by his habit, to be in straitened circumstances, we entered into conversation upon the times, the general face of prosperity, &c. He observed, that however people in general were prosperous, every body making money and growing rich, it was his lot to be poor and behindhand all his days. Among other things, he told me that it was his misfortune to live contiguous to a wealthy farmer. I asked him to explain himself, and to let me know how he could call it a misfortune to live in the near neighbourhood of a family that was able to afford him assistance, and to supply those wants, which, on account of his poverty, his family must daily feel. For, said I, people in general think, if there be any misfortune in the case, it must be on the side of the wealthy, who are obliged to expend so much in assisting the poor. Whatever the rich may think, replied he, or however it may appear in speculation, I believe it is true, that where a rich man and a poor man live near to each other, the poor man is the greatest sufferer; at least I think I have found it so.
A rich man, continued he, has ability and fortitude to do as he pleases; a poor man must do as he can: and he feels his weakness and poverty much more sensibly and painfully, by being in a situation, in which he cannot avoid a comparison of their circumstances, so much to his own disadvantage. The rich man feels his importance, and is apt to be self-sufficient, and sometimes proud and oppressive. The poor man feels weak and dependent, and often difficult and servile.
The rich, like great fishes, are apt to swallow up the little ones, or keep them in fear. The poor, being dependent, are apt to get in debt to the rich, and then are obliged to part with their little farms, and become tenants to the rich, on what was once their own, or to labour in their service, and be always at their beck. This is the case with me; I am in debt to my rich neighbour, and unable to extricate myself. Whenever he wants me to work I must run, though my own little farm, or my own weakly family, is suffering for want of my attention. Besides all this, a great farmer keeps a great flock of cattle, many sheep, many horses and colts, many swine, many fowls, &c. Among these it were strange if a number of them did not prove mischievous, and break out of their own enclosures into those of their neighbours. This I have had experience of to my sorrow. Should my cow, and every creature I have, lie in my rich neighbour's fields all night, they would destroy but a small proportion.
But when his drove of hogs which go on the commons rub down the bars & get into my fields; or when his unruly bull, or reguish oxen, tear up the fence and let in all his drove, the whole produce of my fields will hardly give them a supper. A great farmer, too, is obliged to employ many hands, both in doors and out. Among these it is a wonder if some are not troublesome to their poor neighbours many ways, giving themselves liberty to Hector and insult them, if not to do some of the family more serious injuries. In short, I am sometimes ready to think, that the rich don't consider that the rights, and property, and children of the poor, are as dear to them, as they feel their own to be; and that the rich care not how much they depress the poor, nor what becomes of them.
I found, by these remarks, that my companion, though poor in estate, was not so in understanding and observation. Perhaps his mind was not wholly free from a tincture of envy and discontent. But his complaints, whether well founded or not, led me to deprecate such a condition, to be thankful for my mediocrity of circumstances, and most heartily to wish, that the rich and poor, who by the appointment of Providence, meet together, might always meet and live upon friendly and obliging terms.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c., and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

Valuable Property
For Sale,
IN THE
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk river, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany, extending about two miles on the bank of the river above and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes. The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry kept opposite the said town.
It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is interval or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; there is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses, with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house, flour house, summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit, the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases.

Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house.
A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.

BOOKS.
PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extrait from the Critical Review, April 1795, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth; for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied by a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, it not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and artless—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.
2. The Inquisitor—By Mrs. Rowson, Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents

5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brillon. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
"The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
