FROM THE EAGLE.
VIGIL, No. I.
Did you ever hear the story of the Indian, who, taking notice, that the outside row of a corn-field was not often productive, resolved to plant a field of corn without an outside row. This idea has relieved my mind from a world of anxiety, and trouble, as in what manner I might commence a series of observations, with which I have, these many weeks, labored in manner, and form as follows:—First, carefully to leave out every thing of sense, and sentiment, in this my first essay, as the sagacious reader will observe at his leisure; and then feignly let about my work.
I am well aware, that Aristotle, were he here, would tell me, that it was necessary my work should have, at least, a beginning, a middle, and an end, in order to constitute it a legitimate composition.—In answer to this, suffice it to say, that the schoolmen of Newhamphire acknowledge other authorities than those of Greece.—My work, I am persuaded, will have an end, as well as every human exertion, and that is sufficient; and though about to labor through much peril, and difficulty, it is not for Aristotle to say, that it will not survive the destiny of common waste paper.
But notwithstanding the prefatory remarks and preliminary observations, like the philosophy of Aristotle and the spelling-book of Dilworth, have grown stale thro' long use; it would be an unpardonable instance of ill manners to lead my readers (if readers this work perchance may find) into a long, and intricate course of laborious essays, and abstruse disquisitions, without giving them, at least, a hint of the origin and intended progress of the business.
Why then, Much rejected and gentle readers! as to the origin of the work, it was plainly this, an intolerable itch for scribbling: And as touching its progress, whether it will consist of a series of remarks theological, philosophical, political, musical, biographical and critical, when, and so often as the leisure, and cheerful mode of the writer may permit, together with, here and there, a sage observation on manners, amusements, dress, household, and barn-hold economy; with goodly advice to parents, guardians, and instructors of youth, I leave the reader, in the abundance of his wisdom, to determine: Not forgetting all due civility to the sister-hood, in their several relations to society.
To prevent all quarrels and bloody noses among the curious, respecting the appellation VIGIL, whether it is my real name or only assumed, private or official, I would inform such, that it would be well for them, not to suffer their curiosity to carry them too far, as they never will be able to satisfy themselves in an affair of such profound secrecy: I would however, refer the learned to Young's Latin Dictionary, where they may find the term, from which comes our English words vigilant vigilance, &c.
The public, and all, to whom my laborious speculations shall come, may be informed, that I am a man, of how much observation, time and the issue of this work will alone determine; but of no four complexion. I live in a village, certainly not marked for crimes of the blackest hue.—We are neither murderers, thieves, nor extravagantly profane; and so far are we from being robbers of churches, that scarcely one of four of us see the inside of a church one day in seven. Yet the licentiousness of the times, and the small remains of the old "root of bitterness" amongst us may afford a bone for the essayist, relying on the fruitful resources of mankind to invent new follies.
As it is impossible for the eyes of one, however sharp, and penetrating to look all over the world at once, and observe the foibles of men, and the friezes of fashion; the VIGIL requests his friends, and the community at large, should they chance to discover any folly, to give him as early information, as possible, in order for his wife investigation.
Having premised the foregoing things, I here submit my scheme to a free, enlightened public, hoping for that patronage and encouragement, which a work of such magnitude requires.
Foreign Intelligence.
St. IL DEFONSO, July 23. (One of the King's palaces not far from Madrid.)
Government did all in its power, in order to reinforce the Spanish army in Catalonia with regular troops, and the corps under general de la Union is already supposed to amount to 32,000 men. All is again quiet at Barcelona, and forty of those soldiers, who have so much contributed to the massacre of the others, will soon be tried.
The Spanish fleet, under Admiral Langara, left Carthagena on the 17th inst. and will be reinforced by some ships under Admiral Gravina from Rosas. This fleet according to report, is to cruise on the Italian coast.
STOCKHOLM, August 15. Count Romanzow went last Tuesday with his whole suite and effects on board a large frigate, and set out for Revel, (a Russian port in Livonia.)
The counsellor of the Legation remaining alone here.
Besides many others, the English have lately taken a large Pomeranian ship, loaded with wheat for Barcelona, and drove her on a sand bank, where she was entirely shipwrecked, but the English ministry has now made more equitable declarations.
The sad experience, that the herrings are annually drawing towards the North causes great uneasiness at Gottenburg, where the herring fishery affords a very considerable and almost the only branch of commerce.
LONDON, August 15. Major General Leigh has been appointed Governor of the Caribbean Islands, and James Crawford, Esq. of the Bermudian Islands.
August 23. FRENCH PROCLAMATION. To the army of the Western Pyrenees, and the Spaniards of the frontiers. "Brave Soldiers!
"The moment of victory is at length arrived, which proves that this army is the worthy sister of those of the North and South. That, by their example, you will also avenge your country, overturn the despots, and sacrifice their satellites; that, like them, after purifying the land of liberty, filled by the presence of slaves, you will bear the triumphant arms of the Republic into the territory of the enemy, and there display the tri-coloured standard of Freedom. In penetrating into the enemy's territory, brave soldiers, we need not stimulate your courage, you are always eager to combat and to conquer; but we recommend to your consideration what the French people have proclaimed every where—"War to the palace—peace to the cottage; war against tyrants and their satellites; peace to the peaceable citizens, to the humble shed of the indigent, to the abode of the useful laborer, and industrious artisan." This conduct, as it arises from our feelings, is also dictated by our interest.
"The Spanish territory, upon which we now enter, must become part of the French Republic. Let therefore devasta-tion, pillage, & incendiary measures be far from us; let the fearful inhabitant behold his asylum respected, and learn at length to esteem a people, the avengers of the violated rights of human nature, whom kings and priests have represented to them as a people of Anthropophagi. And you, inhabitants of the Spanish fields and towns, useful laborers, industrious artisans, fly not the Republican legions; throw yourselves into our arms, without weapon, without defence, and you will find in them protection and safety for yourselves, your families, and your property. The French soldier has sworn to exterminate the men armed for tyrants; but the sword, so dreadful to such, will always respect him, who, defenceless, shall implore his assistance and his clemency. He will equally respect opinions, manners, customs and usages. Remain, therefore, in your peaceful dwellings, cultivate your fields, gather in your harvests, work at your occupations, and Liberty, growing in the midst of you, will soon make you feel the immense distance between the avengers of the Rights of Men, and the slaves that move within the verge of despotism. The French soldier would conquer you to Freedom, not by the terror of his arms, but by gaining your hearts and illuminating your minds.
"PINET, the elder. (Signed) "GARRAU, "CAVAIGNAC."
By the Paris papers, which we received this morning to the 13th of August, it appears that the organization of the committees of the convention and of the revolutionary tribunal, is not yet completed.—A decree relative to the revolutionary tribunal passed on the 9th of August, has been suspended, after a long debate, in which the deputies Duhem and Ruamps asserted that the aristocrats in several of the departments, particularly in the northern, had re-commenced their intrigues. Two plans have been presented to the convention, relative to the different committees; one by Barrere, the other by Cambon. Bourdon de l'Oise is a warm supporter of the former; he remarked of the latter, that it would be dangerous to adopt it till the conclusion of the war.
Tho' the debates on these plans were long and animated, they were carried on without and acrimony.—The arrest of suspicious persons ceased at Paris, and upwards of 500 persons have been released from the different prisons within the short space of five days.
The seamen impressed from the Indi-
amen, arrived at their moorings in the river, amount to one thousand two hundred and forty.
The mails due on Friday arrived this day. There is still one mail due.
By our letters from Vienna it appears that a demand has been made by our court of fifty thousand Imperial troops to be paid by Great Britain.—Thus it is not the emperor who entreats us to subsidize him but we who entreat him to allow us to support those troops which are fighting in a cause in which he is more deeply concerned than we are.
The French army of the north is on the point of commencing its active operations, and a few days must bring us news of the most important and decisive events. Our letter from Amsterdam, mentions that the French were marching in seven columns to attack Breda.
The French seem once more to have adopted that plan in which they have already so often succeeded—of making a general attack upon the whole armies of the combined powers. The army of the Moselle is in possession of Treves, and is now marching towards Coblenz. In the different actions upon the Rhine the French have been everywhere successful. The Austrian and Prussian troops upon that frontier have been so unable to oppose the enemy with effect, that the detach of Cabourg has been forced to detach a part of his army to their support.
THE BRITISH ARMY.
Camp near Breda, Aug. 22. The Prince of Orange visited Breda, and inspected the inundations, which have at length succeeded perfectly. Every thing remains quiet in Camp. It is generally reported that the French have retreated from Antwerp, after having stripped the town of everything that is valuable.
Sunday Aug. 24. Last night an order was issued for the reserve ammunition and heavy baggage to march this morning which they accordingly did at 7 o'clock. Their route is not known. This makes us suppose we shall not remain much longer in our present position; the more so as the inundations at Breda have succeeded, the presence of the army is no longer necessary.
Early this morning a patrol consisting of 300 horse and 200 infantry, with four pieces of Hessian flying artillery, was sent out to reconnoitre. Upon coming near the village of —, they received information that a piquet of 500 French were in it; they accordingly made the necessary arrangements for surrounding the village and taking the Carmagnols prisoners, when unfortunately a sergeant of the 16th Light Dragoons deserted to the enemy, who by this means were enabled to escape. This evening the army was under arms to salute the Prince and Princess of Orange.
Monday, Aug. 25. This morning a soldier of the Eighth Dragoons was shot in front of the encampment for firing at his commanding officer. The ceremony was solemn and affecting—He was conducted along the whole line, under escort of his own corps, and was shot by a party of his own troop. After he was shot, the whole army marched past the body, which was afterwards burnt.
It is generally believed the army will remain here for a few days longer. The flying hospital is ordered to be removed to Gorcum.
UNITED STATES.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, (Maryland) October 14.
A letter from an obliging and intelligent correspondent of Williamsport, of this date, contains the following important and unexpected intelligence:—
"With pleasure we announce to the public, that the President of the United States arrived here last evening, in good health—his presence made every heart rejoice, and beat high with affection and gratitude—last night every window was illuminated—Early this morning he set out for Cumberland."
CHAMBERSBURGH, Oct. 16.
On Sunday evening last arrived in this town, His Excellency General Washington, and early on Monday morning he proceeded on his journey, to the westward, by way of Williamsport and Fort Cumberland.
On Monday last several corps of light horse, arrived in this town, and yesterday morning took up their march to the Westward. We learn that they are to form a junction, at the foot of Sidlinghill, with the other troops who are now on their march, and are to rendezvous at Pittsburgh.

PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 25.
Short account of Principal Places, in the present Theatre of the war.
Extracted from a late publication: SLUYS or L'Ecluse—A sea-port town in Flanders, belonging to the United Provinces, formerly one of the best on that coast, capable of receiving five hundred vessels, but daily growing worse, it is now capable of receiving small vessels only.
MAESTRICHT—One of the largest & most ancient towns of the Netherlands, taken by the Prince of Parma in 1579, after a siege of 4 months, when it was pillaged and sacked, and above 8000 persons miserably perished; it was again taken by Frederick Henry, prince of Orange, in 1632.
It was taken by Louis 14, in 1673; it underwent another memorable siege in 1676 by the Prince of Orange; it was attacked by Count Lowendahl in 1748, and was on the point of being taken, when the peace of Aix la Chapelle took place.
The ramparts of Maestricht are flanked with small towers and bastions, with a covert way, in some places double, in others treble, supported by a vast number of mines.
It was bombarded by a division of Dumourier's army under Gen. Miranda in 1792, who destroyed a great part of the town.
It is 47 L. E. from Bruges, 43 S. E. from the Hague, 18 E. N. E. from Namur, 37 S. E. from Rotterdam, 15 S. from Venlo, and 93 N. N. E. from Paris.
FLUSHING—a town of Zealand, of which it is the key; situate on the N. side of an arm of the Scheldt; it defends the passage of that river, and is the second town in Zealand; it was taken by the States General in 1573—9 leagues N. from Bruges, eighteen W. from Breda, and five from Sluys.
BOIS LE DUC—a city of Dutch Brabant, on the river Dommel, by which it is surrounded. It is defended by three forts and a castle; its fortifications are regular, and planted with bastions; the approach to it by land is on causeways.
Capt. Shalcrof in the brig Gratitude, 15 days from Antigua, is arrived at the fort. It is said, that he brings intelligence of the French having crossed the river Salle, and were proceeding to make an attack on Balleterre, Guadalupe.
Extract of a letter from Bedford, October 19, 1794.
"We are encamped at this place about 7000 strong, and shall proceed to Pittsburgh, in three or four days—we are healthy since our arrival here, and have duty to do by day and night, in riding after the enemies to the peace, the liberty and prosperity of our country. Two nights ago we picked up ten of these anarchists, and a large party of our troop now out, have been riding all night to cross the Allegheny
Mountain, in order to apprehend some notorious offenders—Our duty is become so hard, that our Straw Beds are very comfortable at night. About thirty miles south of us (at Fort Cumberland) is an army of 5000 men, I hope they will not form a junction with us, as provisions are scarce—we are in great want of Sugar, Chocolate, Brandy and Wine, neither of them to be bought here; nor have we had a futter to the army, tho' much wanted."
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, October 24.
Captain Smith, of the ship Nancy of Baltimore, arrived here yesterday from Brest, which he left on the 4th September, ult. has obligingly furnished us with the following information:
Capt. Smith left in Brest, waiting for sailing orders, 5 three deckers, and 29 two deckers, besides a number of frigates: the French have out of Brest, cruising, forty-two frigates, besides corvettes.
The day before Capt. S. failed, eleven British prizes, nine Danes and Swedes, and two Americans, arrived in Brest; one of the prizes was the Belmont East-Indiaman, outward bound.
Capt. S. says, it was currently reported in Brest that the French had taken St. Sebastians, and were heaving shells and red hot shot into Ferrol, which, it was thought would soon surrender; they had likewise an account of the taking of Valenciennes, the garrison were all put to the sword, except one man, who they gave liberty to go and inform his countrymen of it. It was also supposed the French would soon be in possession of Amsterdam, as they met with little resistance.
The guillotine has not been made use of since the fall of Robespierre and his party.

A correspondent wishes a Town Meeting may be speedily called, to take into consideration the strange and unwarrantable conduct of some people in Philadelphia, who, without being authorized by the executive of that state, or by the corporation of the city, have in a most ridiculous manner stopped all communication with this town, under the idea of their catching some disease from us, when it is notorious, the town of Baltimore never has been more healthy than for some weeks past; and as to any disease that has existed, no notice would have been taken of the mortality, if the Yellow-Fever had not raged with such fury last year in Philadelphia, and which they are not clear of to this day; but in order to cover their own situation, to injure our rising prosperity, and to get the whole of the back country trade this fall into their own hands; a number of interested people have stopped all persons coming from Baltimore, and obliged them to remain several days without the city before they were admitted; if all communication is stopped forever, this town can receive no injury from it, but a partial stoppage for the intent of spreading far and near the tidings of malignant disease, (for sinister causes only) should be immediately taken into consideration by the town at large, and proper resentments shown at such shameful conduct.
October 23.
Tuesday last arrived brig Portland of Portland Maine from Le Havre.
Schooner Mary of Peterborough, Newcomb from St. Mark's—By this vessel we are informed, that the Republicans retained their ground at St. Mark's only three days, when a reinforcement arrived from some of the neighbouring ports and enabled the British troops, with the assistance of frigates, to resume their former position. Previous to the Mary's departure, an embargo had been laid on the American vessels, for the purpose of transporting such of the troops and inhabitants as might have been driven from the town; but the frigates have now placed them in security. It is said, several of the negroes, mulattoes and some whites were taken prisoners at different times, and that it was always customary at first to drive them into the water, then shoot at them, and if, per chance, they were not drowned or shot, the British troops would cut them to pieces with cutlasses. Markets, for American produce, all through the state were extremely low—West-India produce proportionably scarce and high.
RICHMOND, October 20.
Extract of a letter from his Excellency Major Gen. Anthony Wayne, to the commanding Officer of Fort Recovery, dated July 3 1794.
I most sincerely feel and lament the loss of that good and excellent officer, Major Mahan, and the brave Capt. Hartshorne, Lieut. Craig and Cornet Torrey! together with the brave noncommissioned officers and soldiers who so gloriously fell in the charge upon vastly superior numbers on the morning of the 30th June.
Permit me to communicate through you my most grateful thanks and highest approbation of the conduct of the escort and garrison at Fort Recovery; for their gallant defence of that important post, and compelling from one thousand to fifteen hundred ferocious savages, to retreat with slaughter and disgrace, from the same field, where they were proudly victorious on the 4th of November, 1791.
Present my best compliments to those intrepid wounded officers, Captain Taylor of the dragoons, and Lieut. Drake of the infantry, and assure them of my anxious wishes for their safe and speedy recovery.
You will also please to accept my best thanks for, and highest approbation of your own good and officer like conduct upon that trying occasion.
Garrison Orders, Fort Recovery, July 1/ 1794.
The commanding officer, feels happy in having the opportunity, thus publicly to express his most grateful and sincere thanks to every noncommissioned officer and soldier of this garrison, and must do them the justice to say that they merit the highest applause for their attention to orders, their firmness and bravery on the 30th ult. by which he and his brother officers have acquired the highest approbation and most grateful thanks of the commander in chief.
He wishes in a more particular manner, to return his thanks to the detachment under the command of Lieut. Drake, who sallied out of the garrison as volunteers, and so nobly sustained the charge of so powerful a body of savages, and when elated with every appearance of success, to the last extremity, covered and defended the retreating escort, by which means some officers and many brother soldiers were saved.

Of the finances of France—From a late French writer.
In Finances, the convention is richer than united Europe. Seven-ninths of the soil belonging to the republic; and this continual pledge of paper credit is now become inexhaustible, by the rapidity with which property is exchanged, and always to the advantage of the assembly. They have already conceived the project to nationalize the whole soil of France; to register the territory, like a public debt, in the Grand Livre; and to resume the property of the clergy and nobility, purchased, as they pretend, at a price much inferior to their actual value. Near five hundred millions (about twenty million pounds sterling) in gold and silver, are deposited in the coffers of the National Convention. The mint of Paris, to which was transported all the bullion of the suppressed provincial mints, contains near 70 millions, [about 3,000,000 sterling] of metals, and daily additions are thrown in, by deposits, collections and penalties. The plunder of the churches produced thirty-two millions [near 1,350,000 sterling] and through the whole extent of France no longer now remains a sacred vale, not even in the domestic chapels. Though improbable, it is not impossible, that the French Republic will one day present itself to combat with the money of every other nation, at a time when they have spent all theirs, when France is free from taxes [the public domains making this easy] and when all the powers are reduced to the last extremity.
Famine impossible in France.
We must no longer think of the famines of which newspapers have so long given us hopes. Only some parts of France, particularly Guienne, experienced a total want. But beside the motive for spreading this plague over a province where the Convention dreaded the effects of the federalists, the corn was every where taken away, and sent to the frontiers, to which abundance called new defenders. A portion was restored to the inhabitants of the interior, after the frontiers had been sufficiently provided. The exact distribution which has been adopted in the department for four months, and the subsequent economy, have taken away all reasons of inquietude. France is far from wanting grain; productive harvests will be peaceably gathered in from their most fertile soils. Agriculture has received the superintendence it demands, and the encouragements which give it new force; and from a government where the field of the soldier must be cultivated by his fellow-citizen, from a country where population, still sufficiently numerous for the extent of the territory, restores in an instant to the fields the men which the cities had received, we must banish famine from the number of plagues which the divine wrath seldom sends amongst men. If bread was less abundant, more soldiers would flock to the frontiers, famine and robbery might desolate them in concert, but the allies would then have a new despair to combat, another obstacle to conquer, and a greater danger to avoid.
Opinion of Public Spirit.
Every day augments our fears; the crimes of France are exhausted, but the crimes of Greece and Rome begin. A new costume has taken place in this nation, destined to preserve nothing of its habits and antiquity. The empire of the senses rules the multitude, and the Grecian and Roman Robes, will soon deprive Frenchmen of the remembrance of their country. Gymnasia, courses and wrestlings, triumphal festivals, branches of oak and the Pantheon, theatres dedicated to the people, and formed upon the great models of antiquity, which ages have respected, will long mitigate their slavery with the varnished colours of liberty. A religion whose augurs bring down the goddesses of victory and Justice upon this renovated earth, may perhaps make their old regrets less poignant, and their new vows sincere. These principles which have given birth to public schools, sufficiently illustrate their intentions, and this generation whose infancy has been nourished by crimes, they will make dangerous to the universe from the necessity of exercising its courage, and maintaining a military republic; and by dissemination of principles, the most false, but yet the most seductive that men had ever to combat, we should every where see a sovereignty usurped, a lawless equality, and robbery legitimated.
To the Managers of the Old American Company.
Gentlemen, It is enquired why you refused to perform an American Dramatic piece lately offered to you; and in its place, bring forward the altered, revised, and corrected "BEGGAR'S OPERA," or "School for Thieving," with other pieces, rather foreign from the habits of Americans.
One who wishes fair play to Native Genius.
NOTIFICATION.
It is recommended from a respectable quarter, that all vessels, bona fide American property, and insured in America, be furnished with proper certificates of such assurance, to prevent capture and adjudication, under the decree of the National Convention (said to have passed) making all property insured in England, Legal Prize to the Republic.

Translated from the GAZETTE FRANCAISE of the 15th inst. [This is a new French paper established in New York. Liberty—Equality.
Department of Guadalupe.
The Commissary deputed by the National Convention to the West India Islands, considering that among the patriots who have fled from the colonies on account of their hatred of the English government, or of the vexations they have experienced, there are some, who, unworthy of the name of patriots, take advantage of these circumstances to avoid the dangers and hazards of the war, Decrees, that all the French patriots and others, who being vexed by the English Government, have withdrawn from their respective Colonies and taken refuge in a neutral country, and who shall not return by the 15th of next Thermidor, or prove, by a certificate from the Consul of the French nation, the impossibility of their returning to the possessions of the Republic, re-conquered by her arms, shall be declared emigrants and treated as such, conformable to the laws relative to this subject. Port of Liberty, 30th Messidor, 2d year of the Republic one and Indivisible—Signed Victor Hugues.—Certified, &c.
The foregoing order is in analogy with the whole chain of revolutionary proceedings in France. The whole system of the violent party has been to force all indifferent, all moderate people and all men of doubtful sentiments, to renounce their neutrality, and take an active part in the measures of the day. Perhaps this may be good policy; necessity or the exigency of the times will at least furnish a pretext for such rigorous steps. It should however be remembered that such edicts too often into the world with the fascinating titles of Liberty and Equality, are in essence rank despotism. It is said of the English Test laws, that they may make hypocrites; they can never make Christians or churchmen; so the French decrees respecting the Priests, Emigrants and lukewarm revolutionists, tho' they may make hypocrites they will never make patriots. One thing however they will certainly do, and this seems to be the end of all such rigorous measures—they compel many to quit their possessions, which by a non compliance with the terms of the law, become forfeited, and are confiscated.
LONDON, August 29.
The dispatches brought yesterday by Mr. Major from Earl Spencer, and the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, at Vienna are, we are informed of a very satisfactory nature. The Emperor at the expence of this country, is now willing to defend his own territories, and to co-operate, in the most decided manner, in the views of the British Cabinet, in prosecuting the war against France.
That is, he has agreed to take our money, and has promised to send his armies against France; which, we have no doubt he will perform with as much punctuality as our faithful ally the King of Prussia. We have not learned whether there is to be any article in the agreement between the two countries, stipulating that the conquests shall be at the disposal of Great Britain, as was the case in the treaty with Prussia, from which we received so many substantial benefits.
The brave Poles are likely to reap important advantages from a jealousy that subsists between their combined oppressors respecting the disposal of the conquests which they have already made, or may in future make.
The King of Prussia insists on having Warsaw when he has conquered it; for which reason the Empress has refused him the least aid in that enterprize. At Frankfort it is reported, that some of the circles of the Empire in alliance with Switzerland, are upon the point of entering into a negotiation for the formation of an armed neutrality.
According to the accounts received by the Admiralty, the French have 25 ships of the line in Brest water, ready for sea:—and 12 others fitting. According to our accounts, they have at Brest 42 ships of the line, 22 of which were not in the action of the 1st of June.

C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

"To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing a child is, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart intended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem." "Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature."

FROM realm to realm, with cros or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding steep to dungeons dank, Where many a wail is heard, and fetters clank: To caves bestrewn with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; Oward he moves! - Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and admire.

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but in stead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
