French Tuition, UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIE, Professor of the French Language, Has the honor of informing his Fellow-Citizens of Philadelphia, that he will open his School on Monday the 14th of September, at No. 5, fourth Fifth Street, and divide his hours of instruction in the following manner. Attendance on Ladies and Gentlemen, at their own houses, will be given as usual, from 9 o'clock in the morning till 2 in the afternoon. His afternoon and evening school will begin (every other day) from 4 to 6, and from 6 till 9. Translations from either language into the other, performed with accuracy, elegance, secrecy and dispatch. N. B. - Nicholas G. Dufie, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual instruction - they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they persevere with attention the following - To the Lovers of the French Language. ADDRESS. IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of all importance that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chemistry within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted its beneficial ray, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, proving surprisingly by her merriment lessons - Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the pupils should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis - I, therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those applying themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts. The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2,500 - the most natural acceptance of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision. The third, is a complete list of those words forming an idiom or complements of verbs more peculiar to the discourse - that is to say - forming the link or completion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptance of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English. As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner - We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a familiar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analogy accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Gramarians to attain this object are a most unuseful to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises. I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these six years past, in my professional career, presuming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether uninteresting of it.

Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE (CONTINUED.)
PARIS, July 3.
Gen. Caffarelli yesterday received a box sealed up for the First Consul, from five ladies, under a promise he would not discover their names; when opened, it presented a crown of laurel with some complimentary lines.
Bonaparte has left Italy more favourably inclined than ever to the French. The Austrian Cudgel has not made the Imperial authority beloved.

GOVERNMENT OF PIEDMONT.
Bonaparte First Consul of the French Republic, considering the necessity of providing an administration for Piedmont, until the definite organization of its Government, decrees:
Art. 1. The Government of Piedmont shall be provisionally exercised by a committee of seven members, who shall unite in themselves all the powers, except the legislative and judicial.
2. This committee shall propose to the Consulate, established by the decree of this day, such laws and regulations as shall appear to it necessary.
3. It shall be empowered to continue in the tribunals the present judges, or to replace them at pleasure.
4. It shall establish in each district a commissary, who shall be charged with all the details of the administration.
5. Each commissary shall have under his command the Municipal agents, and all the public functionaries of his district. He shall correspond directly with the committee of government.
6. The present imposts shall be maintained, or established, for the year 1800. The committee shall afterwards have liberty to create new ones with the formal consent of the Consulate.
7. All the functionaries are bound to remain at their post and continue their service, under the authority of the provisional government, until orders to the contrary.
Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic desires to give to the Piedmontese nation a new proof of the affection of the French people, decrees:
Art. 1. There shall be established at Turin a Consulate charged to prepare the organization of the Piedmontese Government and the laws and regulation relative to the different branches of the public administration.
2. The Consulate shall consist of thirty members, and shall have for its President the Minister extraordinary of the French Government.
3. The Consulate shall be at liberty to divide itself into sections; but the measures proposed by those sections shall be examined and approved by the General Assembly, who shall not be convened but by the President.
4. Every act of Government is denied to the Consulate. It shall only give its advice upon the projects submitted by the Provisional Committee.
Bonaparte, First, Consul of the French Republic, decrees:
Art. 1. There shall be established a Minister Extraordinary of the French Government at Turin.
2. This Minister shall be charged with all the relations with the Piedmontese Government, and shall be President of the Consulate.

4. The funds, once paid into the treasury chest, shall not be thence issued, but by order of the Minister Extraordinary, and for the wants of the army.
5. The Minister Extraordinary shall alone be able to convene the General Assembly of the Consulate. He shall be President of this assembly when present; and, in case of absence, shall appoint a Deputy from among the Members, for the sitting only.

OF PEACE.
The French papers (to July 16) make no more mention than those before received of any answer returned by the Cabinet of Vienna to the pacific overtures of Buonaparte. While several of our competitors persist in interpreting this silence in a hostile sense, we are still apt to regard it as a proof in favour of peace, although we do not pretend to say so decisively. The First Consul is not so weak as to suffer an armistice to be prolonged, which would give to his enemy time to make such preparation as might enable him to resume the war with success, has he not strong reasons for believing that the Cabinet of Vienna wishes for peace as much as he himself does. This question will be completely determined by the arrival at Vienna of the Despatches from our government, in answer to those by which the Emperor has communicated to us the propositions of Buonaparte; and every thing concurs to induce us to presume, that our answer is of a very pacific nature, although Mr. Pitt with his characteristic judgment, has not suffered this secret to transpire.

PETERSBURG, (Virg.) September 5.
Yesterday two men were apprehended in this town, one by the name of James Mc Bride, who says he lived at Fell's Point, Baltimore, about eight months ago; the other by the name of James Carver, who says he lived at Alexandria about two years ago. A large number of false keys were found in their possession, together with a part of the property lately stolen from Mr. William Worrock, of Norfolk—(which gentleman would do well to come forward and examine the same.)—There can be no doubt but that these men are connected with others in Norfolk and elsewhere, in the perpetration of their villainy.

NEW YORK, September 10.
Yesterday morning the body of Charles Eminizer, a German was discovered floating in Rhineclander's dock, on the North river. From there being no marks of violence perceivable on the body, it is conjectured he came by his death accidentally.
WINCHESTER, August 27.
A most distressing event took place on the morning of the 14th instant, in the forks of Cacapean, Hampshire county. Philip Porter and Moses Largen (brother in law) took their rifles and went in search of deer: they did not travel far together before they agreed to take separate routes. Largen approached, and took his stand in a convenient place to watch for game. Not much time had elapsed before he discovered a rustling in a thicket at no great distance, but could not discover the object that occasioned it; supposed it, however, to be a deer, he fired, the shot took place, he eagerly approached the spot; but oh! the shock, the heart rending pangs which a sight of the unfortunate victim who had fallen occasioned, can be more easily imagined than described; it was Porter! his relative! his friend! his sister's husband lay weltering in his gore! and the cold hand of death soon placed a seal upon his eyes. To add to the melancholy catastrophe Mrs. Porter is bereaved of a fond and indulgent husband and eight children of a tender and affectionate parent.

Rufus King, minister of the United States at the court of London, by which it appears that in consequence of a demand of his excellency, through Mr. King, from the British government under the 7th article of the definitive treaty of peace, of the public records of this state carried off by his Britannic Majesty's officers and subjects during the revolutionary war; he, Mr. King, has secured one chest of those papers, and was in hopes to obtain the remainder, which were supposed to be mingled in two other chests with the public papers of East and West Florida.
The exertions of the governor to trace the information, so as to enable Mr. King to make the demand, and Mr. King's indefatigable exertions to the object since, will merit the thanks of the widow and the orphan, who in many cases will regain their property from the grasping hand of speculation.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD—AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT;
Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD!!!
NEWS!
It will be pleasing to the Politician, to hear, that the ship Chesapeake, has arrived at New York, in thirty five days from London—bringing late and important political information.
The sickly season is now nearly elapsed, and that dreadful scourge to our city, the Yellow Fever, has not been inflicted upon us: in the blessing we have enjoyed, the over-ruled hand of a kind Providence is evident; it then becomes a duty, with all those who acknowledge the fact, gratefully to offer thanks. to that Being, whose protecting kindness is so visible.—While noticing this subject, it will not be deemed improper to say something respecting those men, who have been instrumental, under the Almighty, in preserving us from sickness and death: the reader will readily perceive I allude to the Board of Health . The Gentlemen who compose that Board, have without fee or reward, nay, to the injury of their private fortunes, faithfully and perseveringly, executed the duties of an office, arduous, disagreeable and unthankful: and the dangers attending it, few men are disposed to encounter: for this they receive the grateful thanks of Individuals,—but thus far that has been their only reward: the writer of this article would wish to see something more adequate to their merit, it would be pleasing to see the Select and Common Councils of this city, offer on behalf of the inhabitants, that sweet reward, the approbation and thanks of their fellow citizens.
Mr. Abner Crombie's sermon has perfectly unveiled the idol of the Jacobins . Some worthy men, notwithstanding the "damning proofs" long since given of Jefferson's infidelity, hesitated to believe that even Jacobins would consent to the rule of a deistical President : but the doubts of the most incredulous must be removed since the Jacobins themselves now bear witness against him. No sooner is the portrait of the infidel , sketched by the glowing pencil of the clerical master , exhibited to their view, than, with one voice, they exclaim, it is Jefferson you have portrayed! Ye fools! "If the cap fits him" who puts it on!
Some very good folks (of the doubling tribe ) ask for specific facts in support of the charge of infidelity against Mr. Jefferson. Such facts are not wanting, but they are ever liable to misconstruction and misrepresentation. The best possible evidence of a man's principles, either religious or political, is to be derived from the uniform tenor of the conduct and conversation of himself, of his confidential friends, and of his party. Who then can hesitate to believe that Thomas Jefferson, of Monticello, the friend of Mazzei, the leader of the Jacobins, is an infidel?
Bonaparte's Maxim.
Gentlemen lately from France say, that Buonaparte has adopted this maxim with his new subjects:—"Think as YOU please—say WHAT you please—but DO as I please." This is an excellent maxim for the meridian of France. The Revolution has proved that it is the only one which Frenchmen are capable of bearing.
There is a passage in Churchill's Poems, which, one would suppose was written for the express purpose of ridiculing that non-sensical and whining style of Poetry too prevalent on this side of the Atlantic.
"Ah! woeful me! ah! woeful man! Ah! woeful all! do all we can. Who can on earthly things depend From one to other moment's end? Honour, wit, genius, wealth and glory, Good luck! good luck are transitory; Nothing is sure and stable found, The very earth itself turns round. Monarchs, nay Ministers must die, Must rot, must stink—ah me! ah why? Cities themselves in time decay; It cities thus—ah! well a day! If brick and mortar have an end, On what can flesh and blood depend. Ah! woeful me! ah! woeful man! Ab! woeful all! do all we can."
More Pretensions to the LAUREATSHIP.
The author of the following verses is certainly happy in his choice of a subject, since, next to his Honor's patronage, that of the Secretary is to be wished for, and solicited. This Bard has given us to know, that rather than fail to attain the Bays, he will essay to please his Honor (who at home is a Hero) in the war numbers of Tyrteus, and to gratify the Secretary, (who at home was an Actor), by emulating the sublime of Sophocles, in a Scene of the DISTRESSED MOTHER.
DIDACTIC POETRY.
WHEN D—s craft, hard ground by Fortune's rub, Alternate play'd in Archer and in Scrub , Through mimic scenes his real life we trace, In Archer's cunning, and in Scrub's grimace. So, from Jamaica and from misery running, When here he brought his grimace and his cunning— His real life the mimic scene revives, His grimace swedes and his cunning thrives . AIMWELL.
EPITAPH.
Tempt not the fair with pieces sen, It naughty—she'll content t'ye But is the chaste—excuse her then, She yields not—under twenty. As Will along the floor had laid, His lazy limbs in solemn flound, You're ill, quoth Sal, I'm fore afraid Indeed, says Will, I'm rather low.
William Eaton, Esq. the Consul of the United States, at Tunis, in a letter to a friend, dated April 8, 1799, after a general description of that city, says—"I have laid in my letter that the houses of Tunis are low—The consular houses are one exception—they are from three to four stories, large and well built. The American house is the largest in the city, and by far the handsomest. It is five stories from the magazine; one hundred and twenty feet by fifty, built of stone, and well finished upon the European construction, but it has no chimney nor fire place. It has one and twenty rooms, and closets on the floor of the second story, eight of them large; the other convenient and necessary. My family consists of a young gentleman from Baltimore, a physician and philosopher, who has agreed to tarry with me two years; an interpreter, and three servants. Silence and solitude reign among us. From morning until midnight there is nothing to interrupt study and rational contemplation; for we have not a woman in the house. It is out a few days since I got through with the business of my negotiation with the Bey and Divan."
The Agricultural Society of South Carolina have resolved to appoint a Committee "to consider if any and what means can be adopted to prevent the character of the Carolina Cotton being injured by fraud or neglect." The committee consists of Mr. Thomas Rhet Smith, Colonel Lewis Morris, Mr. John Champey, Mr. Wm. Price, and Mr. John Gibbs. This resolve, if we may judge from the many complaints received from Europe of late, respecting the mixture of dirt and seed with the cotton, will prove very salutary to the planters of the southward; by this means the character of exporting good cotton, which they have hitherto maintained, may be preserved.
The curious letter from the President of the Lazy Society found upon Stephens, who was lately arrested in this city for forgery, is thus accounted for, by the Editor of the Boston Centinel.
To prevent unnecessary labour in searching for the origin of this society, we shall just mention that it was instituted a few years since in the northerly parts of this state, and New Hampshire; and was the mere sportive box of the circle, to bore some of the lazinesses of the district.—Several very worthy, but rather indolent and heavy-moulded citizens, have received commissions in this corps; which we believe were printed at Leicester . That Stephens should have one of these commissions is not extraordinary:—By the rank he held in the society, which was that of "Colonel," he appears to have been considered a very idle fellow; and the Devil, perhaps, finding them thus idle has given him employment.
Infallible Cure for the Dysentery.
"Take a large apple, pick out the core, and fill the cavity with honey-comb (the honey being strained out) cover it in hot ashes till roasted soft, then mix in together, and eat it all at once. It commonly gives ease in about half an hour."
[The above is copied from a Providence (R. I.) paper, and the writer says he and numerous friends have been cured by it.
MARRIED —on Saturday evening last, at Germantown, by Isaac Franks, Esq. Mr. Peter Sutter, to Miss Mary Beale, both of this city.
For the 24 hours preceding Tuesday, at Sun-rise, there was 27 deaths at Fell's Point and Baltimore: there was then sick in the Hospital 50, Convalescents 7; and 5 had been discharged.
Died, at Norfolk, Col. Orway Bird , Collector of the Customs, for that port, he was aid de camp to Gen. Washington in the Revolution War, and in 1794 when Insurrection unfurled its bloody banners in the West, he was one of those choice spirits who stepped forth to avenge the insulted laws of his country.
At the same place, John Blair Esq. much lamented. And Mr. Watt, Comedian.

THE POLITICAL CONVERSION.
—No. I.—
MR EDITOR,
ALTHOUGH I am no Literary writer, yet I am induced by the advice of my wife, to push myself upon the notice of the Public; that is if you will permit me. My name is, as you will see at the bottom, my occupation, is that of making shoes, not for men but for horses. I am vulgarly called a Blacksmith; and I have (I believe foolishly) laid by my sledge, hammer and anvil to communicate to you, in my way, my political conversion. I was originally a Democrat, I gave my vote for Tom McKean, partly I confess from motives of self-interest, because Tom solemnly promised me the shoeing of his horses; but whether he has none to shoe, or whether (as is his custom) he has broken his engagement, I have not yet discovered. I say I was a Democrat, and was fully intent upon voting for Tom Paine, I mean Tom Jefferson, at the next election; but by the salutary counsel of my Friends, and the excellent advice your paper has afforded me, my eyes have been opened, and I have now become, (I hope) a good Federalist. Corrupted by the cursed columns of the Aurora, deluded by its fair and hypocritical aspect, I had become deaf to all argument, until chance brought your paper before me, and curiosity prompted me to peruse its pages. I have been accustomed to read the Aurora, (by the advice of Duane) every morning to my workmen, but ever since I saw your paper, I cannot get through half a paragraph without being almost choked; whether it is from the smoke of my furnace, or from the magnitude of the lie I am about to swallow, I will leave you to judge.
I had not scarcely finished my afternoon's work the other day, when in pops Mr. Worthy the schoolmaster, and having seated himself upon my bench, and inquired kindly after my family, he asked me the news; I handed him the morning's Aurora, and he had scarcely looked at it, when with a look of honest indignation, he cast the paper in the fire, and turning to me said, "what have you also degraded yourself so far as to become a subscriber for that infamous and abandoned paper; a paper constantly teeming with the grossest scurrility against every good man; from whose shafts of Malice even Washington was not exempted, and which not yet content, now seeks to undermine the throne of God himself?" I was at this time in vain endeavouring to rescue the paper from the flames, but these last words struck me so forcibly, that I dropped the tongs, and turning towards Worthy said "softly, neighbour, do not be too impassioned, if it be any crime to subscribe for the paper, I am not guilty, for it is sent to me gratis; but if I were to believe what you say, I am inclined to think, the very reading of it would be a crime." "Yes" replied he "that man commits a crime against reason, against truth, against decency, and against the religion of God, who even peruses that paper. Open your eyes neighbour, and if you do not wish to have your morals corrupted, if you do not wish to imbibe the worst of religions, and political principles cease reading the Aurora." Struck with the solemn manner in which my neighbour pronounced these words, I entreated him to explain to me more fully the cause of this injunction; but as he was beginning, my wife unfortunately called me in to supper, and my neighbour refusing to partake, departed, informing me that very soon he would renew the conversation and display to my astonished view the cursed machinations of the Jacobin party, and the religious sentiments of their philosophical leader, who (he says) thinks there might as well be twenty Gods as one God. All which he has done and that satisfactorily too; and by your leave it shall appear in subsequent numbers.
Yours for the present, DICK VULCAN.

MR WAYNE,
ON observing a publication in your paper relative to the extraordinary degree of health which so happily pervades our city, I was very sorry to observe such credit given to some remarks, said to have been printed last year, and now re-published by desire.
As it is evident that the preservation of the health of this city is owing to an Higher Power, and which is believed every good Christian ought to feel while he is willing to acknowledge the display of omnipotence, in thus protecting us from the dread pestilence, which is now desolating several of the seaports in our sister states, by the awful calamity which our citizens have so justly dreaded.
What also is affecting to many citizens is the proposal for exhibiting Theatrical amusements in this city, in case this scourge is withheld from us. Now these, however the light, the giddy, or the inconsiderate, may believe them to be highly entertaining, yet they are called on through you to consider, if this is paying that tribute of gratitude which is due the sovereign of the universe for the many signal favors, which he has showered down upon us; and can we be so lost to the sense of true religion, which is the basis of good government, of a country, as well as of individuals as to admit of those vain sports, when our country is mourning for many of her citizens, whose homes and families shall never know them more. Rather let us with thankful hearts, for the mercies bestowed, implore the Great Lord of Heaven, who we need not be ashamed to confess on all occasions, and who rules in the kingdoms of earth, that he would in his unspeakable mercy look from his Holy habitation, and avert the devouring scourge from the neighbouring cities, and give us hearts to fear him and keep his command-
ments. This would add to our individual happiness as well as our national prosperity beyond the most refined accomplishments of the belt adieu that ever graced a stage.

[The following amusing particulars of the life of the Poet THOMPSON, we have extracted from the London "Star." They are pleasantly told by one, who seems to resemble Partridge in Tom Jones both in his professional and in his chattering capacity.]
THOMPSON.
Memorandum of Thompson, the Poet, collected from Mr. William Taylor, formerly a barber and Peruke maker at Richmond, Surrey—now blind, September 1791, by the Earl of Buchan.
Q. Mr. Taylor, do you remember anything of Thompson, who lived in Kew some years ago?—Thompson.  Q. Thompson, the Poet?—Aye, very well. I have taken him by the nose many hundred times. I shaved him, I believe, seven or eight years, or more; he had a face as long as a horse; and he sweat so much, that I remember, after walking one day in summer, I shaved his head without lather by his own desire. His hair was as soft as a camel's. I hardly ever felt such; and yet it grew so remarkably, that if it was but an inch long, it stood upright an end from his head like a brush. [Mr. Robertson confirmed this remark.]  Q. His person I am told, was large and clumsy? Yes; he was pretty corpulent, and stooped forward rather when he walked, as though he was full of thought; he was full of thought; he was very careless and negligent about his dress, and wore his clothes remarkably plain. [Mr. Robertson, when I read this to him, said, "He was clean and yet slovenly, he stooped a good deal."]  Q. Did he always wear a wig?—Always to my memory, and very extravagant he was with them, I have seen a dozen at a time hanging up in my master's shop, and all of them so big that nobody else could wear them. I suppose his sweating to such a degree made him have so many, for I have known him spoil a new one only in walking from London.  Q. He was a great walker I believe? Yes; he used to walk from Malloch's [Mallet's] at Strand on the Green near Kew Bridge, and from London, at all hours in the night; he seldom liked to go in a carriage, and I never saw him on horseback. I believe he was too fearful to ride [Mr. Robertson said, he could not bear to get upon a horse.]  Q. Had he a Scotch accent?—Very broad; he always called me Wull .  Q. Did you know any of his relations? Yes; he had two nephews (cousins!!) Andrew and Gilbert Thompson, both gardeners, who were much with him, Andrew used to work in his garden and keep it in order at over hours; he died at Richmond, about eleven years ago, of a cancer in his face. Gilbert, his brother, lived at East Sheen with one Squire Taylor, till he fell out of a mulberry tree and was killed.  Q. Did Thompson keep much company? Yes; a good deal of the writing sort . I remember Pope, and Pateron, and Malloch, and Lyttleton, and Dr. Armstrong, and Andrew Miller the bookseller, who had a house near Thompson's in Kew-lane, Mr. Robertson could tell you more about them.  Q. Did Pope often visit him? Very often; he used to wear a light coloured great coat, and commonly kept it on in the house; he was a strange ill formed little figure of a man; but I have heard him and Quin and Pateron, talk together so at Thompson's, that I could have listened to them for ever.  Q. Quin was frequently there, I suppose? Yes; Mrs. Hobart his housekeeper, often wished Quin dead, he made her maller drink so. I have seen him and Quin coming from the Castle together, at four o'clock in a morning, and not over sober you may be sure. When he was writing in his own house he frequently sat with a bowl of punch before him, and that a good large one too.  Q. Did he sit much in his garden? Yes; he had an arbour at the end of it, where he used to write in summer time. I have known him lie along by himself upon the grass near it, and talk away as if though three or four people were along with him. [This might probably be when he was reciting his own compositions.]  Q. Did you ever see any of his writing? I was once tempted, I remember, to take a peep; his papers used to lie in a loose pile upon the table in his study, and I had longed for a look at them a good while; so one morning, while I was waiting in the room to shave him, and he was longer than usual before he came down I slipped off the top sheet of paper and expected to find something very curious, but I could make nothing of it. I could not even read it for the letters looked like all in one.  Q. He was very affable in his manners? O yes! he had no pride; he was very free in his conversation and very cheerful, and one of the best natured men that ever lived.  Q. He seldom was much burthened with cash?—No; to be sure he was deuced long winded; but when he had money, he would spend for his creditors and pay them all round; he has paid my master between 20 and 30 at a time.  Q. You did not keep a shop yourself then at that time? No Sir; I lived with one Lander here for 20 years, and it was while I was prentice and journeyman with him that I used to wait on Mr. Thompson. Lander made his majors and bobs, and a portion of the name of Taylor, in Craven-street in the Strand, made his tie wigs. And an excellent customer he was to both.  Q. Did you dress any of his visitors? Yes, Quin and Lyttleton, Sir George I  think he was called. He was so tender faced I remember, and so devilish difficult to shave, that none of the men in the shop dared to venture on him except myself. I have often taken Quin by the nose too, which required some courage let me tell you. One day he asked particularly if the razor was in good order, protested he had as many barber's ears in his parlor at home, as any boy had bird's eggs on a string, and swore, if I did not shave him smoothly, he would add mine to the number, "Ah," said Thompson, "Wull shaves very well, I assure you."  Q. You have seen the seafaring, I suppose?—Yes, Sir; and once had a great deal of them by heart (he here quoted a passage from Spring ).—Shepherd who formerly kept the Castle Inn, shewed me a book of Thompson's writing which was about the rebellion in 1745, and set to music, but I think he told me not published. I mentioned this to [Mr. Robertson, but he thought Taylor had made a small mistake, perhaps it might be some of the patriotic songs in the Masque of Alfred .]  Q. The cause of his death is said to have been taking a boat from Kew to Richmond, when he was much heated by walking?—No; I believe he got the better of that; but having had a batch of drinking with Quin, he took a quantity of cream tartar, as he frequently did on such occasions, which with a fever before carried him off. [Mr. Robertson did not assent to this.]  Q. He lived I think in Kew-Foot-lane?—Yes; and died there; at the furthermost house next Richmond Gardens, now Mr. Boscawen's. He lived some time before at a smaller one higher up, inhabited by Mrs. Davis.  Q. Did you attend on him to the last?—Sir, I shaved him the very day before his death; he was very weak, but made a shift to set up in the bed. I asked him how he found himself that morning?— "Ah, Wull," he replied, "I am very bad indeed." [Mr. Robertson told me, he ordered this operation himself, as a refreshment to his friend.]  Taylor concluded by giving a hearty encomium on his character.  This conversation took place at one of the alcoves on Richmond Green, where I accidentally dropped in. I afterwards found it was a rural rendezvous for a set of old invalids on Nature's infirm lift , who met there every afternoon in fine weather, to recount and comment on the "tals of other times."  I inquired after Lander, and Mrs. Hobart and Taylor of Cavern street, but found that none of them were surviving. Mrs. Hobart was thought to have a daughter married in the town called Egerton; but it was not likely from the distance of time, that she could impart any thing new.  Taylor told me the late Dr. Dodd had applied to him several years ago for anecdotes and information relative to Thompson.  Park Egerton, the bookseller, near Whitehall, tells me, that when Thompson first came to London, he took up his abode with his predecessor Millan, and finished his poem of Winter in the apartment over the shop; that Millan printed it for him, and it remained on his shelves a long time unnoticed; but after Thompson began to gain some reputation as a poet, he either went himself, or was taken by Mallet, to Millan in the Strand, with whom he entered into new engagements for printing his works; which to much incensed Millan, his first patron, and his countryman also, that they never afterwards were cordially reconciled, altho' Lord Lyttleton took uncommon pains to mediate between them.
