ORIGINAL REMARKS
ON THE PRESENT POLITICS OF EUROPE.
From Bell's Weekly Messenger.
Annexation of Genoa to France; with a review of the Continental Powers.
Our readers will find under our Foreign head, some particulars of the progress which Bonaparte is making in Italy, not by arms, but by the cheaper methods of artifice and intrigue. It was plain from the first, that the sweeping title of King of Italy was not assumed for nothing; and the same continues every day to be less empty; Sardinia is extinct; Genoa is incorporated; and Tuscany and Naples, pushed upon their frontiers, can only hope to exist during the pleasure of the Emperor. The Pope, in his Ecclesiastical domains, is a prisoner out upon bail, and must surrender himself and his territories upon the mandate of his master; whilst by the possession of Switzerland, and the great avenues of Italy, Austria is effectually cut off from all access to Venice.
The plea of the Genoese for incorporating themselves with France, is somewhat plausible. "Blockaded in our ports by the tyranny of the English, though neutrals, we are punished as enemies, and can no longer subsist by that commerce, which is the only means of our support. When the strong oppress the weak, their only refuge is in the protection of the stronger. Excluded from the seas, we are desirous of a continental connection, and in uniting ourselves with France, we shall be secure as members of her empire, and partake of its glories and its destinies."
A national poll is then set on foot; and by a vote of the population, Genoa surrenders herself to France. Without any nice examination of these arguments, Bonaparte accepts the surrender; a Senate is convened, speeches and compliments are handed on both sides, a Constitution is sorted out from his traveling port folio, the guns fire, the Emperor is proclaimed, and the most commercial province of Italy, with the most impregnable city, and the population of a million, is assigned and delivered up to France in half an hour.
What impression is this likely to make upon the Continent.—Russia has never dissembled; she has sufficiently expressed her resentment upon the old score, and now that Bonaparte has chalked on, it is not likely to subside. The case of Austria, as we have observed, is not improved by this event. In adding to his measure of insult and encroachment, Bonaparte is certainly adding to his security; in case of a rupture he is saved the trouble of conquering Genoa; it is only to be feared that he may proceed so far in this progress of peaceable acquisition, that there will not be room to make a stand in Italy or any where else.
In the event of a continental war, which is as certain as any thing of speculation can be, it naturally suggests to us here to take some review of the several Powers.
The situation of the Court of Vienna is strangely equivocal; its politics for this some time past have been mysterious; with the appearance of aversion to the British cause, it is said by nice ob-
servers to be on the eve of coalition, and with the shew of friendship for France, it is believed that the sword is about to be drawn. The suspicious conduct of Austria has an excuse from her situation; the slightest movement of hostility brings an army upon her, the first onset of which she is unequal to resist. Unable, but by open and tedious solicitations, to rouse the German States, she despairs of their assistance till too late, and surrounded by powers, who, though involved in a common interest to resist the encroachments of France, are yet willing to truckle to despotism to lengthen the span of their existence, or jealous of any confederacy by which Austria may profit, she hesitates even to negotiate for fear of detection, and is unripe for any independent or open action. That incomparable body of troops, which at the beginning of the late war, had given her so decided a superiority, no longer exists in the same persons. If her troops have derived advantages from a long series of active service, those advantages were equally on the side of the enemy. Her armies have so often been beaten, that it is no wonder if a sort of weariness and despair have crept among them, after such an infinite train of unrewarded fatigues, when they have seen that so many valuable exploits have only been productive of disaster. Many of her best Generals have retired, or have been disgraced; her dominions, though large, are not equal to any extensive subsidies; her population, though numerous, is exhausted and dispersed. These circumstances have probably, made her more dilatory and cautious than usual. But notwithstanding, Austria has a strength somewhat unaccountable and peculiar to herself. More deficient in pecuniary resources than any other great power in Europe, she is better able to subsist and do considerable things without them. By long habit the whole state is formed to its necessities, and the subject is more ready to supply free quarters, and submit to military licence than any other. The country is abundantly fruitful in all its parts, and whilst the war is carried on near home, an arbitrary government, operating on so extensive an object, can hardly fail of such resources as must serve an Austrian army; which is still paid, as Tacitus describes the troops of the ancient Germans to have been; "they have a plentiful table in lieu of pay."
Though slow in her operations, Austria makes amends by her perseverance; if she does not play the game with sufficient spirit, she never throws up her cards; and though by an error common to many Courts, but particularly fatal to this, she is accustomed to interfere too much and too minutely in the operations of the campaign, there is reason to believe that the prudence of the Archduke, under whose guidance her armies at present are, has effectually cured her of this folly.
By the celerity of the movements of France, advantages are gained over Austria before she can regulate her resources or muster her troops; but it has always been the design of Austria that the issue of the war should rather arise from the general result and concurrence of all the operations, gradually producing a solid though a slow advantage, than from the effect of a bold, quick and masterly stroke.
Russia entirely governed by a pacific sovereign, and by aged, and therefore cautious ministers, is wholly occupied in husbanding her resources, and bringing into account her vast extent of territory. The sphere of her ambition is not the south of Europe; her object of aggrandizement, if any, is on the side of the East.—With regard to European politics she proposes but one end—security: and therefore has not yet taken, nor will take any further part than what is necessary to this aim.—It is thus that she has hitherto preferred counteraction to open force; but should Austria, for self defence, be compelled to renew the war, Russia, from the same motive, though not in the same degree, will come forward to assist her. The assistance, however, will be limited by her original policy, and to her own immediate interest; she will not suffer Austria to be further weakened; but neither on the other hand will she attempt an extensive recovery of the former conquests of Bonaparte.

With regard to England, such an ally as this will be almost ineffectual.
Prussia, now on the edge of the French territory, with a ministry who already consider Bonaparte as more their master than their own sovereign, with the name of a French Ally, is almost as effectually a vassal of France, as Holland itself.
In respect to the Northern Powers, Sweden appears rising to that degree of consequence and strength, as to be advancing into the station from which Prussia is rapidly receding.—In any event of a shock to the French power, whether by defeat, or insurrection in some of the numerous provinces, the German powers would find a rallying post in Sweden, and she might again become as in the days of Gustavus. Denmark is not so lost to the sense of its own interest as may at first sight appear. This State evidently only rests in its present torpor till the commencement of action by some great Power.—We shall resume the subject at a future time.
Latest FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, June 26.
Under the present form of our government and considering the genius which directs every thing, it is no wonder that such profound secrecy has been hitherto preserved respecting the destination of the Toulon fleet. Four different plans had been laid before the Emperor, relative to the destination of that fleet, which was victualled at all events for a long period. He cancelled and burnt three of those plans, and sent himself the plan he had adopted to Toulon to be followed—so that those in his confidence did not know which plan his Majesty had chosen.
The Emperor has provided the Minister of the Interior Campagny, with the necessary powers to organize the three Genoese departments. From the 9th of June, all the acts of that Minister must be obeyed as laws in the whole compass of these three departments.
BELFAST, July 20.
We are still unable to satisfy the public impatience with any accounts of Lord Nelson. In the event of his not falling in with the enemy, it is satisfactory to know, that all due diligence has been employed by the Admiralty, in reinforcing our squadrons on the French and Spanish coasts, to enable them to intercept the combined fleets, if they are on their return, as reported by the Curieux. Admiral Sir Robert Calder, we find, has been reinforced off Ferrol, by the Windsor Castle and Barfleur, of 64 guns, and the Triumph Raisonable, and Warrior, of 74 guns each. And considerable accessions have been made to the Rochefort and Cadiz blocking squadrons.
CHARLESTON, August 23.
The brig Eliza, captain Taylor, arrived yesterday in 32 days from Malaga, furnishes the following intelligence:
Of Gibraltar, on the 21st July, captain Taylor spoke a Portuguese 74, and an American brig from the Straits. The master of the latter vessel informed that the commodore of the American squadron had CONCLUDED A PEACE WITH TRIPOLI, but upon what terms captain T. could not learn.
In the Bay of Gibraltar captain T. saw Lord Nelson's fleet at anchor and was boarded by an officer from one of his ships, who stated that the British fleet left Barbadoes on the 14th June, and had followed, as they supposed, in the wake of the combined fleets until they arrived off the coast of France; when, having every reason to suppose that the French and Spaniards had got safely into Brest, Lord Nelson stood away for Gibraltar, where he arrived on the 19th July.
A French and Spanish squadron of six sail of the line had sailed from Carthagena, with 6000 troops on board, supposed to be destined for Egypt.—They were followed by rear admiral Bickerton, with five sail of the line, convoying the troops under command of General Craig.
The Spaniards plunder every American vessel they fall in with.—Captain T. was fired upon by eight of the gun-boats, but escaped by good sailing. A Boston ship from Leghorn, had been detained by them, and the master compelled to pay 1,200 dollars, before they would suffer him to proceed.
FROM GIBRALTAR.—Capt. Simmons, arrived here on Saturday, in 45 days from Gibraltar, informs that an official and detailed account of the Negotiation and Peace with Tripoli, had been received at that place, and that he was promised
a copy of the same, by the American Consul, but being ready for sea, and a favourable breeze springing up, he left the place without it. He however understood, that the terms were an exchange of prisoners, and the gratuity from our government of 60,000 dollars.
Capt. S. further informs, that Lord Nelson had arrived at Gibraltar, without having heard any thing of the combined fleets from about four days after leaving the West Indies—and immediately proceeded to Tituan bay, to water; from whence he was to proceed in pursuit of the enemy, determining (as he said) to follow them while he had a vessel in a situation for the service.
It was currently reported, in town, on Saturday, that Mr. Bownorn, had not been accredited as Minister of the United States to the Court of Spain. On what authority the rumour was founded we know not; but it is certain that letters have been received here, by some recent arrivals from Spain, stating, that he would not proceed to Madrid; but on the contrary, was actually preparing to take his passage for England, with his family and suite.
FROM ROCHELLE.—Captain Jarvis, arrived here on Friday, in 43 days from Rochelle, informs, that soon after leaving port, and while passing off Rochefort, he met a French squadron, consisting of 7 sail of heavy ships, coming out of the Roads, who brought him too and ordered him into the Roads, under the custody of a gun brig; soon after he had come to an anchor in the Roads (the brig being about to execute some orders at Brittany passage) the wind favored his escape, and he sailed. He could not ascertain the exact force of the squadron, nor their destination.
BOSTON, August 29.
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
We have been informed by a gentleman who came to town last evening from Salem, that a vessel arrived there yesterday from the Mediterranean, the captain of which reported, That the Ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, accompanied by Mr. Eaton, had gained a complete victory over the forces of his brother, the reigning Bey, and had been placed on the throne; that this event had produced the release of our captive brethren in Tripoli.—We state this information as we have received it, and sincerely hope that it may prove to be well founded. [Chronicle.]
We understand, by several gentlemen, who left Salem yesterday afternoon, that the brig Bellisle, captain Leach, had arrived at that place from Naples, bringing the important and highly gratifying intelligence of the capture of the city of Tripoli, by the forces under the Ex-Bashaw (directed, we presume, by the intrepid spirit of our countryman Gen. Eaton) and that the American prisoners had been immediately released.
Several parcels of dispatches, directed to the President, and to the Heads of Department (received by this vessel) were lodged in the Post Office last evening. They were noted to be of high importance, and ordered to be forwarded to the seat of government without delay.
The following letters were received by the above arrival, and add some important particulars to the agreeable intelligence above stated:— [Gazette.]
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman at Naples, dated June 15, 1805.
"Letters from Sicily mention, that advices had been received from our Commodore at Syracuse, informing of the release of the American Prisoners, and a Peace with Tripoli. This event is said to be altogether owing to the spirited conduct of Gen. Eaton. No particulars are mentioned; but it is supposed on the terms offered by America, as Eaton had previously taken Derna and Bacquara."
Extract of a letter from Frederick Degen Esq. to a gentleman in this town, dated NAPLES, June 22, 1805.
"Commodore Barron has resigned the command of the American squadron to captain Rodgers. He (commodore Rodgers) wrote me on the 1st June, that Peace with the Bashaw of Tripoli was finally concluded; and that the terms were most advantageous and honourable to the United States. It appears, that Mr. Eaton's undertaking has been attended with success. Mr. Dyson wrote me from Syracuse, that previous to the conclusion of Peace, Gen. Eaton defeated the Bashaw's troops at Derna, and took possession of that town and Castle,
but received himself, during the action, a musket shot through the arm."
The intelligence contained in the above letters, is derived through an official source; and announces the important fact that
Peace is made with Tripoli and our Countrymen are Free.
POSTSCRIPT.
Thursday morning, 3 o'clock, August 29. [The Express which we dispatched late last evening to Salem, has this moment arrived, and furnishes the following particulars relative to the before mentioned important News.]
From the Salem Register, August 29.
Yesterday the brig Belle Isle, captain Leach, arrived here in 66 days from Naples. About 8 days before he sailed, news arrived there, that General Eaton, at the head of the small American force which had been detached from the Mediterranean squadron, and the troops collected by the rival brother of the Bashaw of Tripoli, had had an engagement with the Tripolines at Derna—on which side victory was declared we do not learn; but it was said that Gen. Eaton's army suffered most severely, and that every American was killed, except Mr. Eaton, who was wounded in the shoulder.
The effect of the battle, however, was an immediate negotiation for peace, to assist at which, Col. Lear went from Malta to Tripoli; and two days before Capt. L. sailed, dispatches were received from Col. Lear at Naples, bringing the important and glorious intelligence, that a PEACE highly honourable to the United States had been concluded, and of course the Americans who had been so long suffering in captivity released. Capt. L. we understand brings dispatches from our government, so that we may expect shortly to have the official details of the battle, the negotiation, and the terms of peace.
The American squadron had not left Malta when this affair took place, and there was no intelligence at Naples of the gun boats from the United States having joined them. Commodore Barron, after he found the negotiation was in a promising train, sailed for the United States on account of his ill state of health.
From the New-York Herald.
The eagerness with which the above news is received, evinces the strong sensibility felt by the people for the hard fate of their unhappy countrymen, who have long been groaning in the dungeons of Tripoli, or sweating under the burdens of cruel Turkish task-masters, while our government have been so intent on preserving a starvling economy, as to leave them to their fate, unthought of and unheeded. All classes of people leap with joy at the deliverance without enquiring after the terms or the cost.—This generous sympathy does honour to the national character, and we shall say nothing to damp it. But what is the sober amount of the news from Tripoli? We think it clear that the first account that Tripoli was taken by the forces under the ex-Bashaw is not correct. If it was, the Usurper would have been the reigning sovereign, and with him must the peace have been concluded. The contrary would seem to be the truth.—The article from the Salem Register, which is the last, informs us that there had indeed been a battle at Derna, but confesses it is uncertain on which side victory was declared. The effect, however, of the battle, was a negotiation for peace. Of course the negotiation must have been with the reigning Bashaw. What the terms of peace are we know not, it is said they are honourable to the United States. Two questions will arise. One whether a peace has been bought?—and next at what price? Perhaps those now in administration may have so far changed their opinion on this as well as on some other subjects, as to hold it compatible with national honor to buy a peace now, though they formerly set up the most lamentable howl about national degradation, because President Washington bought a peace of the same power. When we see the terms, if our cabinet will so far remember another of their clamours of no government secrets, and so far forget the whole course of their conduct, as to act for once with a little consistency, when, I say, we see the terms we shall be able to form some opinion about their goodness. In the mean time we have to remark and we shall soon dismiss the subject, that after all the immense expense of squadron after squadron, frigates and gun-boats, we
are indebted for the peace and liberties of our unfortunate fellow citizens to the intrepidity and boldness of an individual by land, heading an army of rebellious subjects, in the pious work of advancing a pretender to his brother's throne. And we confess our curiosity is broad awake to know what provisions have been made in the treaty in behalf of the pretender himself, Sidi Hamet Caramalli. Because we happen to remember that Mr. Secretary Madison once wrote a letter on this subject which contained some important, though it must be acknowledged vague promises in behalf of Sidi. In a letter to Mr. Eaton dated August 1802, our good Secretary thus expressed himself, "Although it does not accord with the general sentiments or views of the United States to intermeddle in the domestic controversies of other countries, it cannot be unfair, in the prosecution of a just war, or the accomplishment of a just peace, to take advantage of the hostile co-operation of others. As far therefore as the views of the brother may contribute to our success the aid of them may be used for the purpose.—Should this aid be found inapplicable, or the object unattainable, it will be due to the honor of the United States, and to the expectations he will naturally have formed, to treat his disappointment with tenderness, and to restore him (as nearly as may be) to the situation from which he was drawn, or to some other convenient arrangement that may be more eligible to him.—In case of a treaty of peace with the ruling Bashaw of Tripoli, perhaps it may be possible to make some stipulations formal or informal in favor of the Brother, which may be a desirable alleviation of his misfortune!" Thus far Mr. Madison's letter. This usurper it seems was a governor under the ruling Bashaw, and his own brother, and had been prevailed upon to set up pretensions to the Throne, in which pious project he was to be encouraged by the United States as far as might contribute to their success. It now appears that he has indeed contributed materially to their success, and we shall soon see how far the honor of the United States has gone in procuring stipulations in his favor from his brother; or whether any other arrangement has been made in his favor, which might be more acceptable to him, such as giving him an honorable place on our pension list; or lastly, whether the old game has not been played in this "honorable peace" of the Devil take the hindmost.
NEW-YORK, September 3. IMPORTANT.
We are indebted to the politeness of Mr. Craig for the following important information, received yesterday by letter, from Mr. Harford, of Darien, Georgia:
"Intelligence has reached this place, that an English fleet of nine sail of the line, with frigates and transports, are at anchor in the mouth of St. John's river, and that their object is the conquest of Florida. The Spaniards are extremely alarmed, and all is bustle and confusion." Should this account be correct, and there is every reason to believe it is, the Floridas will probably soon exchange masters. The mouth of St. John's river is ten leagues and a half from Augustine, which will probably be the first object of attack.
PHILADELPHIA, August 30.
GENERAL MOREAU and his family left town yesterday morning for his seat at Morrisville. During his stay in the city he was respectfully waited upon by great numbers of the most respectable citizens.
A letter from an American gentleman at Paris, whose information may be relied on, states that the drawing of the bills for American claims, had been proceeded to the amount of five millions of livres, and would be continued until the remaining fifteen millions were drawn for.
Mr. Skipwith was to transmit these bills to their respective proprietors—and it has excited some surprise, as the letter is dated on the 3rd of June, that none of them have yet come to hand.
A letter from Tripoli, dated April 10, 1805, mentions, "by a vessel which commodore Barron has sent to Tripoli with money, cloathing, &c. &c. for our use, we all this day received letters from our friends in America. I expect we shall in a few days remove to the American house. The change will be for the better; and we consider our removal as a good omen."
Extract of a letter from lieutenant James Laurence, commanding officer of gun boat No. 5, dated
GIBRALTAR, June 18th, 1805. "I have the pleasure to inform you of

My arrival at this place on the evening of the 15th. I parted with the John Adams, in a fog the third day after leaving the Hook, and arrived in Gibraltar thirty hours before her. I am happy to inform you that No. 5, is an excellent sea boat, and sails very fast. I should have proceeded aloft immediately on mounting my guns, but capt. Shaw judged it most advisable, as there were four of us, for us all to sail together."
Extract of a letter from lieutenant John Henry, commanding officer of gun boat No. 4, dated
GIBRALTAR, June 22d, 1805. "I have the pleasure to inform you of my safe arrival at this port, on the night of the 21st inst. On the 22d of May, in lat. 36, 30, and long. 61, we had a gale of wind from S. W. in which we were so unfortunate, as to part company with Nos. 10 and 5. I lay too that night, but seeing nothing of them in the morning, I thought it most prudent to make the best of my way to Gibraltar. I passed in sight of the Western Islands, to the N. on the 7th of June. "I received every assistance at this place from Admiral Knight and Captain Otway, and have this day mounted my guns, and expect to sail again in thirty hours from the time I anchored. The Frigate John Adams sailed three days ago for Tripoli in company with No. 5, No. 10, and No. 9; how those boats got in before me, is what I cannot account for."
KNOXVILLE, August 7. Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability, now in the Chickasaw nation, to his friend in this county, dated July 25, 1805.
"On the 23d inst. the commissioners of the United States concluded a treaty with this nation, by which they have obtained a relinquishment of the Chickasaw's claim to the lands within the following limits, viz.—"Beginning on the left bank of the Ohio, where the present Indian boundary adjoins the same, thence down the left bank of the Ohio to the Tennessee river thence up the main channel of the Tennessee river to the mouth of Duck river, thence up the left bank of Duck river to the Columbian highway, or road leading from Nashville to Natchez, thence along the said road to the ridge dividing the waters running into Duck from those running into Buffalo, thence eastwardly along said ridge to the great ridge dividing the waters running into main Tennessee from those running into Buffalo, near the main source of Buffalo river, thence in a direct line, to the Great Tennessee, near the Chickasaw Old Fields, or eastern point of the Chickasaw claim, on that river, thence northwardly to the great ridge dividing the waters running into Tennessee, from those running into Duck, so as to include all the waters running into Elk river, thence along the top of said ridge to the place of beginning."—Reserving a tract of one mile square adjoining to and below the mouth of Duck, on Tennessee, for the use of one of the chiefs; for which the United States are to pay as soon as the treaty is ratified, 23,000 dollars in specie, and an annuity of 100 dollars during the life of and for the use of his majesty the present king."
The respectable source from which this information is received, does not admit a doubt of its authenticity.
NORFOLK, August 28. This day arrived here, the ship Three Sisters, capt. Calvert, in 47 days from Cadiz, which he left the 10th of July. We understand from capt. Calvert, that the Gun-Boat was not given up as had been stated, but was still detained at Algeziras. This, capt. C. states, was the report of the day of his departure.—It was the general belief at Cadiz that war between Spain and the United States was inevitable.
MORE SPOLIATIONS. A gentleman in Cadiz writing to his correspondent in this place, says. "The Spaniards have again commenced their depredations on our Commerce at Algeziras, they have taken in the ship Recovery, of and from Norfolk, captain Adams, and a number of other vessels; also two have been brought into this port."
Extract of a letter from the captain of a vessel, to his merchant in this Borough, dated
HAVANNA, August 7, 1805. "Five days after I left Porto Rico, I was boarded off Heneaga by a privateer under French colors, with one gun and
25 men, six of whom they put on board my schooner at the same time taking me and 3 men out."
"They then stood over for Cuba, and in two days came to anchor in a small bay above the town of Barracoa, where they went on shore with my papers, refusing to permit me to accompany them, or even to return to my vessel, pronouncing frequently "un bon prize."
"After being detained two days, my papers were returned and my vessel liberated. They plundered me of articles to the amount of 150 dollars."
"I could not discover to whom the privateer belonged, although owned in the place."
"When I made a representation to the governor of the treatment I had received, he promised so soon as the privateer should return the articles that had been taken should be returned."
"Three days before I left Barracoa, the brig Jane of Baltimore, was brought in by a French privateer of 4 guns. The Jane mounted 16 guns with 45 men, 38 of whom were killed and 7 wounded."
"The captain (Kennedy) was amongst the number killed—I understand he shot his mate and two others, for attempting to haul down the colors."
The conduct of Spain is now so evidently hostile to this country, that it does not appear to us possible, that a rupture can be avoided.
Among the instances of injustice and absurdity of the pretensions of that country is a principle which has been lately assumed, and acted upon to some extent, and is one that deprives us of a great part of the advantages of our neutrality. In consequence of the war, our ships in Britain were employed by our merchants and other neutrals in carrying goods to the various ports of the Mediterranean, a trade we enjoyed as a right in peace. In Spain a number of our vessels and their cargoes have been condemned for being loaded with British goods, as if we had not a right to carry British manufactures. The consequence has been that the premium at Lloyd's on an American ship from Britain to a port in the Mediterranean is Twenty Guineas per cent.

MARTINSBURG, September 12. In order to gratify our readers, as early as possible, with a sight of the interesting intelligence contained in this paper from Tripoli, we have issued it at an earlier hour than usual.
Pennsylvania Governor.—As the election approaches the contest grows warmer and warmer and each party appears confident of success. The Friends of McKean calculate on a majority of 20,000 votes and Snyder's on a majority of 15,000. Both these calculations, no doubt, are wide of the truth and we think it doubtful which of the candidates will succeed.
[Frederick Town Herald.]
Frequent contemplations of Death necessary to moderate the Passions.
Let those weak minds who live in doubt and fear To juggling priests for oracles repair: Once certain hour of death is each decreed, My fix'd, my certain soul, from doubt has freed.
IT is recorded of some eastern monarch, that he kept an officer in his house, whose employment it was to remind him of his mortality, by calling out every morning, at a stated hour.—Remember, prince, that thou shalt die! And the contemplation of the frailness and uncertainty of our present state appeared of so much importance to Solon of Athens, that he left this precept to future ages—Keep thine eye fixed upon the end of thy life.
A frequent and attentive prospect of that moment, which must put a period to all our schemes, and deprive us of all our acquisitions, is, indeed, of the utmost efficacy to the just and rational regulation of our lives; nor would any thing wicked, or often any thing absurd, be undertaken or prosecuted by him who should begin every day with a serious reflection that he is born to die.
The disturbers of our happiness in this world are our desires, our griefs, and our fears; and to all these the consideration of mortality is a certain and adequate remedy.
"Think," says Epictetus, "frequently on poverty, banishment and death, and thou wilt never indulge violent desire, or give up thy heart to mean sentiment."
That the maxim of Epictetus is founded on just observation, will easily be granted, when we reflect how that vehemence of eagerness after the common objects of pursuit is kindled in our minds. We represent to ourselves the pleasure of some future possession, and suffer our thoughts to dwell attentively upon it, till it has wholly engrossed the imagination, and permits us not to conceive any happiness but its attainment, nor any misery but its loss; every other satisfaction which the bounty of Providence has scattered over life is neglected as inconsequential in comparison to the great object which we have placed before us, and is thrown from us as encumbering our activity, or trampled under foot as standing in our way.
Every man has experienced how much of this ardour has been remitted, when a sharp or tedious sickness has set death before his eyes. The extensive influence of greatness, the glitter of wealth, the praises of admirers and the attendance of supplicants, have appeared vain and empty things when the last hour seemed to be approaching, and the same appearance they would always have, if the same thought was always predominant. We should then find the absurdity of stretching out our arms incessantly to grasp that which we cannot keep, and wearing out our lives in endeavors to add new turrets to the fabric of ambition, when the foundation itself is shaking, and the ground, on which it stands, is mouldering away.
