EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
Justice and clemency are in all cases the fairest and firmest pillars of the throne; and the Prince, who, like Alexander the Great, uniformly upon this principle, may rest securely upon the affection of the people. The short period of his administration has been distinguished already by the noblest actions; as a proof of which we have only to peruse his edicts, which are full of humanity, affability, clemency and justice; and especially his ordinance by which he has granted an unlimited freedom from informers and spies. He wills his people to be informed and enlightened, and hates, therefore every species of controul. He is persuaded, indeed, that a supreme governor is as necessary to an enlightened nation, as it is to a people in ignorance and error; but he knows that the former will venerate its sovereign with a thousand times more affection than the latter. He knows that the best administration of a state, can only advance in a parallel direction with the best progress of sound reason. Let his imperial letter be attentively perused, which he lately wrote to one of his Grandees, and which is one of the fairest jewels of his crown. In what humane and paternal language does he there express himself on the degradation and slavish misery under which the Russian peasantry for the most part groan. He detests the idea of human creatures being bought and sold in the manner of cattle; and is engaged seriously in making such arrangements as may set bounds to such abuses for the future. To himself, besides the occupation of Government, he allows so few pleasures or amusements that the emperor might be taken for a private person. Of the simplest appearance, and generally clad in the strictest style of military uniform, he is seen almost every day on the parade, and receives the petitions of supplicants himself, or gives orders to his adjutant for that purpose. With the greatest affability, and a pleasing smile, he salutes every one that comes in his way, and gives audience to each of them himself. He then takes an airing on horseback, attended only by a single servant; and when he meets with any of those persons whom he formerly knew when grand duke, he enters immediately into familiar conversation, and talks of past circumstances in the most engaging manner. Even those who are entire strangers to him, however disagreeable their subjects of conversation, and at times highly improper and impertinent, are frequently heard by him with the utmost composure, of which the two following are striking examples.
A young woman, of German extraction, waited once for the emperor on the stairs, by which he was accustomed to go down to the parade. When the monarch appeared, she met him on the steps with these words in her mouth—"Please your majesty, I have something to say to you." "What is it?" demanded the emperor, and remained standing with all his attendants. "I wish to be married; but I have no fortune; if you would graciously give me a dowry—" "Ah, my girl," answered the monarch, "were I to give dowries to all the young women in Petersburg, where do you think I should find money?" The girl, however, by his order, received a present of fifty rubles.
On another occasion, at the very moment when the emperor had given the word of command, and the guard on the parade was just on the point of paying him military honours, a fellow approached him with ragged garments, with his hair in disorder, and a look of wildness, and gave him a slap on the shoulder. The monarch, who was standing at that time with his face opposite to the military front, turned round immediately, and beholding the raggamuffin, started at the sight, and then asked him, with a look of astonishment, what he wanted. "I have something to say to you, Alexander Paulowitz," answered the stranger, in the Russian language. "Say on then," said the emperor, with a smile of encouragement, and laying his hands upon the vagabond's shoulders. A long solemn pause followed; the military guard stood still; and nobody ventured by word or motion to disturb the emperor or in this singular interview. The grand duke Constantine alone, whose attention had been excited by this unusual occurrence, advanced somewhat nearer to his brother. The stranger now related, that he had been a captain in the Russian service, and had been present at the campaigns both in Italy and Switzerland; but that he had been persecuted by his commanding officer, and so misrepresented to Suwarow, that the latter had turned him out of the army. Without money and without friends in a foreign country, he had afterwards served as a private soldier in the Russian army; and being much wounded and mangled at Zurich, (and he here pulled his rags asunder, and showed many gunshot wounds) he had closed his campaign in a French prison. He had now begged all the way to Petersburg, to apply to the emperor himself for justice, and to beg him to enquire into the reason of such a shameful degradation from his post. The emperor heard him to the end with patience; and then asked him in a significant tone, if there was no exaggeration in the story he had told? "Let me die under the knout," said the officer, "if I shall be found to have uttered one word of falsehood!" The em-
peror then beckoned to his brother, and charged him to conduct the stranger to the palace, while he turned about to the expecting crowd. The commanding officer, who had behaved so shamefully, though of a good family, and a prince in rank, was reprimanded very severely; while the brave warrior, whom he had unjustly persecuted, was reinstated in his former post, and had besides a considerable present from the emperor.
Every thing that favors of harshness or cruelty, is abhorrent to the temper of this amiable monarch: as an evidence of which we need only mention the well known story of the torture inflicted on a poor Russian, who had fallen under the suspicion of having wilfully set fire to buildings. No sooner was the good natured monarch informed that this poor wretch had, upon mere suspicion, been put to the rack in the most inhuman manner; that he had given up the ghost in the midst of torments, and asserted his innocence with his last breath, than he sent immediately an officer to Casan, in order to investigate the matter to the bottom; and published at the same time that remarkable edict in consequence of which the term torture is for ever blotted out from the legal language of Russia.

The ship John Morgan, Capt. Howard, has just arrived in 39 days from London. She brings London news to the 20th of May, containing the important information of War between England and France.
Mr. King, late American ambassador at London, came passenger in the John Morgan.
At the court of the Queen's Palace, 16th May, 1803.
PRESENT,
The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.
Whereas, in consequence of the repeated insults and provocations which his Majesty has experienced from the government of France, his majesty finds himself compelled to take such measures as are necessary for vindicating the honor of his crown, and the just rights of his subjects; his Majesty, therefore, is pleased by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that general reprisals be granted against the ships, goods, and subjects of the French Republic, so that as well as his Majesty's debts and ships, as also all other ships and vessels that shall be commissioned, by letters of marque, or general reprisals, or otherwise, by his Majesty's Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain, shall and may lawfully seize all ships, vessels, and goods belonging to the French Republic, or inhabiting within any of the Territories of the French Republic, and bring the same to judgment in such courts of Admiralty within his Majesty's dominions, as shall be duly commissioned to take cognizance thereof; and, to that end his Majesty's Advocate-General, with the Advocate of the Admiralty, are forthwith to prepare the draft of a commission, and present the same to his majesty at this board, authorising the commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, or any person or persons by them empowered and appointed, to issue forth and grant letters of Marque and reprisals to any of His Majesty's subjects, or others whom the Commissioners shall deem fitly qualified in that behalf, for the apprehending, seizing, and taking the ships, vessels, and goods belonging to the French Republic, or to any persons being subjects to the French Republic, or inhabiting within any of the territories of the French Republic; and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission, as have been usual, and are according to former precedents; his majesty's said Advocate General with the Advocate of the Admiralty, are also forthwith to prepare a draft of a commission, and present the same to his Majesty at this board, authorising the said commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, to will and require the High Court of Admiralty of Great Britain, and the Lieutenant and Judge of the said court, his surrogate and surrogates, as also the several Courts of Admiralty within his Majesty's dominion which shall be duly commissioned to take cognizance of, and judicially proceed upon all and all manner of captures, seizures, prizes, and reprisals of all ships and goods that are or shall be made, and to hear and determine the same, and according to the course of admiralty and the laws of nations, to adjudge and condemn all such ships, vessels and goods as shall belong to the French Republic, or to any persons being subjects of the French Republic, or inhabiting within any of the territories of the French Republic; and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission as have been usual and are according to former precedents; and they are likewise to prepare and lay before his majesty at this board a draft of such instructions as may be proper to be sent to the said courts of Admiralty in his Majesty's foreign governments and plantations for their guidance herein; as also another draft of instructions for such ships as shall be commissioned for the purpose above mentioned.
From the court of the Queen's Palace, the 18th day of May 1803.
Signed, By all the privy council.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 16.
Lord Pelham brought down the following message from his Majesty, which was read, first by the Lord Chancellor, from the Woolfack, and next by Mr. Rols, the clerk, at the table. "G. R."
His majesty thinks proper to acquaint the House of Peers, that the discussion which he announced to them in his message of the 8th of March last, as then subsisting between his majesty and the French government, have been terminated; that the conduct of the French government has obliged his majesty to recall his ambassador from Paris, and that the ambassador from the French republic has left London.
His majesty has given directions for laying before the House of Peers with as little delay as possible, copies of such papers as will afford the fullest information to his parliament at this important juncture.
"It is a consolation to His Majesty to reflect, that no endeavors have been wanting on his part to preserve to his subjects the blessings of peace; but under the circumstances which have occurred to disappoint his just expectations, His Majesty relies with confidence on the zeal and public spirit of his faithful commons, and on the exertions of his brave and loyal subjects to support him in his determination to employ the power and resources of the nation, in opposing the spirit of encroachment which at present actuates the councils of France, in upholding the dignity of the crown, and in asserting and maintaining the rights and interests of his people."
LONDON, May 17.
His Majesty's message, delivered to both houses of Parliament yesterday afternoon, puts an end to the uncertainty which many were under respecting the issue of the negotiation which was carrying on between this country and France.
At the Privy Council which sat at the Queen's House yesterday, and at which his Majesty presided, the message to Parliament was settled, and orders issued to the Lords of the Admiralty to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal against all vessels belonging to the French and Batavian Republics, and to lay a general embargo on all ships bound to any of their ports.
The renewal of the war between this country and France, has proved of essential service to America. Private letters from Paris state, that the American Minister, Mr. Monroe, has completely succeeded in the object of his mission, and that within three days the French government has ceded to the Americans the possession of Louisiana.
It is further stated, upon the same respectable authority, that 6,000,000 of dollars, due from France to individuals of the United States, to obtain the payment of which was one of Mr. Monroe's principle objects, has been given up by the latter, the American minister having consented that the government of the United States shall take that debt upon itself.
LONDON, May 19.
Lord Whitworth and his suite arrived last night at Whitehall, at 11 o'clock. Gen. Andreotti left Dover at 7 o'clock yesterday morning.
The important papers relative to the negotiation with France were last night laid before Parliament. They occupy 145 folio pages, exclusive of the Declaration of our Government. Malta was the great subject of dispute, and of course in a protracted discussion upon a single point a recurrence of the same argument is unavoidable. We now insert them at full length in whatever parts they are necessary to inform the judgment, or to gratify curiosity, and have abridged only such parts, which if inserted at length, would be surpluage or repetition. Our account, therefore, will be found complete for the purpose of every reader.
The Spanish and Dutch Ambassadors were at the King's levee yesterday, at which there was a very full attendance.
Philadelphia Gazette Office, July 1st, 20 minutes before 7 o'clock, A. M.
We have just received the following most important communication from our correspondent at New York, by express. We hasten to throw it before our readers.
NEW-YORK, June 30.
Half past 4 o'clock, p. m.
Mr. Relf,
The John Morgan Howard, is just arrived in 39 days from London. War was declared on the part of Great Britain on the 16th of May. No declaration had been made against Spain or Holland. It was understood that England had given notice to those powers that she would respect their neutrality, if they were willing and able to defend it. Mr. King, late American ambassador to the Court of St. James, is on board. He informs, that our embassy to France had been successful. Louisiana, with all the country west of it is ceded to the United States.
Yours, &c. JOHN LANG, & Co.
WILMINGTON, June 16.
On Sunday last arrived here the Schooner Cay, Allen, 7 days from Cape Francis.
The revolutionary affairs of St. Domingo, still remain in awful uncertainty; the brigands possess the whole country, except about two miles round the principal seaports; no troops of consequence had arrived, and of the few that were sent out, two regiments of mercenaries had deserted to the enemy, who have acquired such strength, and use such desperate modes of attack, that not even the chosen men of Bonaparte will stand before them in the field of action. In this dreadful situation the almost exhausted inhabitants, are the only protection to the country.
Several attempts had been made to retake Tortuga, but after many engagements, and much bloodshed, the whites were compelled to leave it in possession of the brigands. Conformably to a late order of the First Consul, general Rochambeau and suite will hereafter be at the Cape.
About the first of May, a fleet supposed to belong to one of the Northern states of America, with yellow flags and name blacked off the stern, was captured by the brigands, and her crew massacred. She is now lying at Puerto-Nueva, in the island of Portorico, subject to the claim of her proper owner.
REMARKABLE.
A girl in the charity school at Sheffield, who had for nearly two years, lost her voice, very fortunately recovered it, on the 20th of last month, by one of her school-fellows shouting down her throat. The fact is incontrovertibly proved. An account of the above extraordinary circumstance last week, led to the adoption of the same means of cure upon a young woman at Manchester, similarly afflicted, and with the happiest success; for upon one of her father's journeymen shouting down her throat, she completely recovered her voice, and became frantic with joy. Lon. pap.
On Saturday last, about 12 o'clock a mechanic working on one of the buildings erecting by Mr. M'Henry in the precincts of this city, whilst extremely warm and in a profuse sweat, descended the scaffold, and from an adjacent pump took a large draught of cold water. He immediately after re-ascended the scaffold and resumed his work—he had not laid half a dozen of brick before he fell down apparently dead, in which situation he continued a considerable length of time—medical aid being procured and timely remedies applied, he was happily restored to life.
This communication is made that it may serve as a warning to persons in similar situations, and caution them against an improper use of cold water which has in many instances proved fatal to several of our industrious and valuable citizens. Baltimore Paper.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
JUNE 24th, 1803.
Notice is hereby given,
THAT Proposals will be received at Vincennes, by the Governor of the Indiana Territory, until the 30th day of September next ensuing, for Leasing, for the term of Three Years, commencing on the 1st day of December 1803, the SALT SPRINGS near the Wabash, lately ceded by the Indians to the United States.
The following conditions will be required on the part of the United States. Viz.
1. No rent shall be demanded for the first year of the lease; but the lessee shall pay to the United States, one thousand bushels, equal to fifty thousand pounds merchantable salt, for the annual rent of each succeeding year: the salt to be delivered at the works, in such quantities, and at such time and times within the year, as shall be fixed by the terms of the lease.
II. The lessee shall establish, within the first year, kettles, for the purpose of making salt of the aggregate contents of at least eight thousand gallons; and they shall, within the second year, encrease the quantity to fifteen thousand gallons, and during the remainder of the lease, keep up and employ kettles of the said aggregate contents of fifteen thousand gallons: the kettles remaining on hand at the expiration of the lease, to be valued and paid for to the lessee, if the lease shall not be renewed.
III. The lessee shall be bound, annually, and each year after the end of the first year, to manufacture at least the quantity of salt which shall be agreed on by the terms of the lease; and to sell the whole quantity which, during the four years of their lease, they shall manufacture, at a price not greater than that fixed by the said terms; and in order to prevent any combination or evasion, the United States reserve to themselves the right of purchasing the whole at that price.
IV. For the purpose of assisting the lessee in the purchase of kettles, and erection of the works, the United States shall advance two thousand five hundred dollars; to be repaid at the end of the lease, with interest, at the rate of six per cent. a year, from the expiration of the first year of the lease.
V. The lessee shall give bond with approved security, for the fulfilment of the agreement, and for the re-payment of the money.
The persons who intend to lease, will state in the proposals, the quantity of salt which they will agree to make annually, and the price at which they will engage to sell the same: it being intended, the other terms being equal, and the security indisputable, to lease the spring to those who shall engage to sell the greatest quantity of salt at the lowest price.
Should any persons, otherwise desirous to lease, think the quantity of kettles, as stated in the second article, to be greater than they can establish; they may, in their proposals, state the quantity, expressed in gallons of the contents, which they would agree to establish and keep up.

COMMUNICATED. LOCUST GROVE, SCOTT COUNTY, July 4th, 1803.
A Barbecue having been given at this place, from a general invitation, not less than five hundred citizens convened, besides a large concourse of ladies who honored the celebration with their company. The day was commemorated with uncommon festivity and delight. Every eye appeared illuminated with patriotism—every countenance was flushed with joy—every heart seemed to vibrate in harmonious unison with the emotions of '76. At 12 o'clock the company were called together, at which time they were entertained with five addresses, in commemoration of this glorious day. At 2 o'clock dinner was bro't upon the table. Dinner being over, the following toasts were introduced, and received by the firing of guns and three cheers. The firing was performed by the light horse under William Sutton, first lieutenant.
 1. The 4th of July, the birth day of American Independence—May the liberty then purchased by the blood of our heroes, encircle the globe.  2. The spark of '76—May it continue to animate the present and future generations.  3. The navigation of the Mississippi—A speedy and peaceable acquirement of the island of Orleans and the Floridas, requisites indispensable to the peace and prosperity of the United States.  4. The seventeen confederated States—A guillotine to him who shall dare attempt to shackle or destroy the bond which unites them together.  5. The state sovereignties in all their constitutional vigor—America's last and best hope.  6. The states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio—May their sixteen senators and representatives harmonize in their natural endeavors to accelerate the rising importance of the western states.  7. The republican majority in Congress who defeated the machinations of a sinking and desperate faction, to precipitate the Union into a war and the President into disgrace.  8. The executive and legislative of the Union—May they continue to deserve well of their country.  9. A speedy examination into the Federal Judiciary System; writs of Mandamus, to examine into the cabinet, and arrest the proceedings of the President; charges to grand juries, grossly reviling the measures of the general and state governments, and judicial obloquy profusely vented under cover of birth day celebrations, are set among the subjects consigned by the constitution to federal adjudication.  10. Our sister states, Virginia and New-York—May no groundless jealousy or unwarranted insinuation weaken that political attachment to them which we so justly entertain.  11. Success to our republican friends in the New-England States.  12. The counties of New-Castle, Kent and Sussex, commonly called "Delaware state." Thanks over and again to their brave people for their late prompt display of attachment to their Western brethren—May the martial fire and dauntless spirit of their numerous legions continue undiminished, until the wrongs of the whole Western world shall be completely redressed.  13. The patriotism and good sense of the citizens of the Western waters, but a single man of whom, out of half a million, the blustering declaration of a Ross, and the comic combat of a Morris, could delude and mislead—"On evil times indeed have these luckless worthies fallen."  14. Col. Monroe and his mission—We applaud the discernment which selected the Minister, and the wisdom which suggested the mission.  15. Aaron Burr—A tear on his infirmities, and let him and them be forgotten forever.  16. The scourge of tyrants, Thomas Paine. 9 cheers.  17. The ladies of Kentucky—May they command that esteem by their wisdom and urbanity, for which a masculine strength would be exerted in vain.  VOLUNTEERS. By Maj. Gains.—May peace, liberty and independence prevail in America.
John Adams' administration is fallen—May it fall like Lucifer, never to rise again. The Tree of Liberty which was planted in America in 1776—May it cherish and grow and be guarded, that the Eagle may perch therein, where none dare disturb a twig or a feather of them. By William Ward.—John Beckenridge, the destroyer of John Adams' last creation. 9 cheers. John Brown and John Fowler—Inflexible patriots and republican representatives.
By John Berryman—John Adams and all despots—May they and their actions be held up to the world as a negative example. By Capt. Wm. Campbell—Thomas Jefferson—Long may he live and enjoy his present vigor of body and energy of thought, to preside over our national affairs, and steer with safety the ship of our government in which we are embarked, amidst the conflicting elements of a troubled world. By Mr. Brown.—American commerce and manufactures. By Capt. Doyne.—To the memory of Gen. George Washington, the saviour of his country. By Asa K. Lewis Esq.—Religion the consolation of the aged—May it never prove the iron scourge of youth. May superstition, ignorance and persecution, give place to philosophy, refinement and universal toleration.
The scene was closed by an address from Col. Robt. Sanders, during which time order and decorum characterized the audience. The company, before night, repaired home, with the greatest harmony, and animated with the spark of '76, which consumed the tyrants of our country. All the volunteer toasts are not inserted, as they would be too numerous.
AN EPIGRAM ON THE TIMES. By C. ARNAL. Three mortal enemies I import, A King, the Devil and Bonaparte— I with them all hung by one string, Bonaparte, the Devil and the King.
NEW-YORK, June 30. The following letter is just handed us by a friend, who received it by this morning's Eastern mail. The extract may be relied upon as correct, and the name of the writer may be known by enquiring at this office. IMPORTANT.
"PARIS, April 29, 1803." "We have now the moral certainty of being paid in the United States what France owes to Americans—Government cedes Louisiana for a certain sum, of which the American credits are to be in part, and whether we are paid in cash or stock, it is still a good payment." "PARIS, May 9, 1803." "I at last have the pleasure to inform you that the American creditors are to be paid by the American government in exchange for Louisiana. The thing is fixed; five months are given for the ratification; and six weeks after, those liquidated will be paid by Mr. Livingston's bills, on the treasury of the United States, and those unliquidated, within six months after."
General Murat has expedited several couriers to Rome and Naples (says a late London paper) and we are assured that he demands a passage for a body of 30,000 men, who if war breaks out, will proceed to Scicily, to effect from thence an expedition against Malta. Extract of another dated Paris, April 28, from a different person, to his correspondent in this city. "With certainty, the American creditors will be paid soon, and it is believed by the United States, in part compensation for Louisiana, which is to be ceded to our government. I suppose the east side of the river."
July 1. The following important paragraph, from the Boston Palladium, is this moment received: "PARIS, May 13, 1803." "I enclose you a memorial, which Mr. Livingston, our minister here, presented to the French Government, which was really the primary cause of the cession of Louisiana to the United States. I beg you to have it translated and published, that the tribute due to the exertions of that able negotiator be rendered by every citizen, who is capable of appreciating the inestimable benefit he has obtained. The cession was voted in the Council of State the 8th of April. I was at St. Cloud that day. The 9th, propositions were made to Mr. Livingston to fix on a price. The 10th, the thing was talked over, and agreed upon, when news of Mr. Munroe's arrival at Havre got to town. The 12th, in the evening Mr. M. did arrive at Paris. The previous negotiations of Mr. L. were communicated to him and every thing was closed and signed the 30th—even before Mr. Munroe was presented at Court."
"A convention, for the payment of the American debts by France, has also been signed. They are estimated at four millions of dollars;—and are to be paid by the United States, in part of the compensation for Louisiana." The document alluded to, is entitled "A memorial on this question—Whether it be advantageous for France to take possession of Louisiana?" It would seem the French Government was, or affected to be, convinced by it. The existence of this memorial was mentioned in a Charleston paper of the 25th ult. It is now in the hands of Mr. Nancré for translation.
In the London Courier of the 20th of May, it is stated in an editorial paragraph, noticing the debate of the preceding day in the house of commons, that the only matter of moment which occurred in it, was that the French government had ceded to the United States the province of Louisiana.
The following information, highly important if true, was received by yesterday's mail from Boston. Extract of a letter from an American gentleman to a respectable house in Boston, dated PARIS, 13th May. "Louisiana is ceded to the United States on the most honorable terms and indemnification will be made for French spoliations."
The following is the ultimatum of the British court; which Lord Whitworth presented to Mr. Talleyrand on the 11th May, with information that unless they were acceded to, as the basis of an arrangement, he was directed to leave Paris in thirty six hours. ULTIMATUM. The French to permit the immediate cession of the island of Lampedosa to England by the king of the two Sicilies. The privilege of retaining Malta till arrangements could be made to occupy Lampedosa as a naval station. The territories of the Batavian republic to be evacuated by France within one month after the conclusion of a convention founded on this basis. His majesty shall not be required by the French government to evacuate the island of Malta until after the expiration of ten years. When this ultimatum was proposed to Talleyrand, he suggested a variation which might be the perpetual possession of Malta on some term of exchange, as he observed, to take away the appearance of being forced into the re-signation of that island, and to make the draft palatable. Lord Whitworth replied that he had no authority to vary from the terms, and that to prevent any further protraction of the negotiation, he must make his stand on the ultimatum proposed. They then parted; nothing further was offered, and on his sending for his passports the next morning, he received them in a few hours.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 4. OFFICIAL. The Executive have received official information that a Treaty was signed on the 30th of April, between the Ministers Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary of the United States, and the Minister Plenipotentiary of the French government, by which the United States have obtained the full right to, and sovereignty over New Orleans, and the whole of Louisiana, as Spain possessed the same.

A HAPPY REVIEW.
IN my youth I was careless and gay, Freely joining in pleasure's career; 'Twas in the spring time of life—it was May, And ne'er thought of the date of the year.
But to vice's allurements not prone, Soft love whisper'd soft in my ear; There's no comfort in living alone— "And pray look to the date of the year."
My fond heart gave assent, beating high, And acknowledged 'd the maid that was dear:
Ready Hymen soon fastened the tie— Ever blest be the date of that year!
Many summers roll'd on full of joy; Many winters that never were drear; And oft times on a girl or a boy, Gave delight to the date of the year.
Bred in harmony, virtue and truth, Happy faces around me appear; And the grateful affections of youth, Prove a balm to the date of the year.
While old friends, full of sense, taste and knowledge, Sweeten life with attachment sincere; And the stories of school and of college Seem improv'd from the date of the year.
Thus I've liv'd till my hair is grown grey, And still pleasantly move in my sphere; For December is cheerful as May, And content marks the date of the year.
DIVERSITY.
MORAL.
There was an Italian Bishop who had struggled through difficulties without re- proaching, and who met with much opposi- tion in the discharge of his episcopal function, without ever betraying the least impatience. An intimate friend of his, who highly admired those virtues, which he thought it impossible to imitate, one day asked the prelate if he would com- municate the secret of always being easy —"Yes, replied the old man, I can teach you my secret, and with great facility: It consists in nothing more than in mak- ing a right use of my eyes." His friend begged him to explain himself. "Most willingly," returned the bishop. "In whatever state I am, I first of all look up to Heaven, and I remember that my principal business is to get there. I then look down upon earth, and call to mind how small a space I shall occupy in it, when I come to be interred. I then look abroad into the world and observe what multitudes are more unhappy than myself. Thus I learn where true happiness is plac- ed, where all our cares must end, and how little reason I have to repine or to complain."
BARBAROUS CEREMONY.
A letter received by the Earl Howe, from Bengal, of the 23d Jan- uary, says the following relation of the most barbarous ceremony that lately took place at Gungur Saugar, and to which Mr. Bartlett, a branch pilot, with some other Europeans were eye witnesses, appears unpar- alleled in the annals of history. Being at Gungur Saugar, with some other pilots, the last full moon, hearing that some extraordinary absurdities were to be performed among the Faquirs of that port, among others such as persuading the ignorant natives to go into the water to be devoured by sharks; Mr. Bartlett, with his par- ty, went to the place, from curiosity, where these cruelties were to be ex- ecuted, and witnessed these facts: that several men and women, at the initiation of the Faquirs were made to throw themselves into the river amidst innumerable sharks that were seen floating upon the water which almost immediately devoured these unhappy victims of superstition; and particularly mentions, that a man re- markably strong on being attacked, seemed to let the shark at defiance, and had a long struggle with his an- tagonist till others came up and dis- patched him—Mr. Bartlett, upon hearing that a young boy was to be sacrificed in the same manner, was desirous, if possible to rescue him, and waited till late in the evening in hopes of performing this act of hu- manity: but suspicions arising a- mong the barbarous Faquirs that such an attempt might be made put it out of Mr. Bartlett's power to ef- fect it, by secreting him. This horrid practice, it appears, takes place twice a year, in the months of Feb- ruary and November, about the time of the full moon.
NEW KIND OF BRICKS.
Mr. Rawsthorne, the architect, has lately invented a new kind of bricks, dovetailed into each other, for con-
structing arches for the ceiling of rooms, &c. in lieu of timber. This method requires a very little, if any, additional thickness of walls or abutments, and it may be constructed so as to be perfectly secure against fire. The expence of fining build- ings by it is little more than that of timber.—Boston Gaz.
