FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
PARIS, May 6.
Gen. Dessoles to the Minister of War.
H. Q. Schaffhausen, May 2.
Citizen Minister,
"Our continual movements since the 23th of April having had for their object the uniting of the army on its right, I did not think it to acquaint you with the result, until after the operation should be completely terminated."
"The General in Chief, in consequence of the orders which he had received from government to commence the campaign, determined to manoeuvre in front on the Rhine and in the rear on the defiles of the Black Forest, in order to unite his army about Schaffhausen and Smaltingen. It was necessary to combine these operations so as to avoid any doubtful engagements in several days marching; which was the more difficult on account of the defiles which we had to traverse, on account of the passage of the Rhine which was to be effected, and of the central position of the enemy at Donaueschingen, which enabled them to bear more quickly than we could, with all their forces, on any of the points of the line that we might menace."
"The General in Chief ordered Lieut. General St. Suzanne to commence the operations on the morning of the 25th, by marching from Kehl against Offenburg; and Lieut. Gen. St. Cyr was directed to proceed by Old Brissac against Fribourg. Gen. St. Suzanne, after a very brisk action repulsed the enemy to Offenburg, took a piece of cannon and about 100 prisoners. His right took a position at Bodersweyer, Velaffen and Appenwilt, and his left at Vilslett, Griesen and Landt. In this engagement he had to regret the loss of Citizen Dubois France, Chief of Brigade of the 1st regiment of Chasseurs, a very distinguished officer."
"Gen. St. Cyr took his position at Fribourg, driving everything he met before him. The same day the General in Chief ordered to pass by Basse a division of the corps of reserve, commanded by General Richepaule, who took a position at Schellingen, and on the De-ouche de Kanders."
"On the 26th, General St. Suzanne remained in his position, and Gen. St. Cyr assumed a menacing appearance in the valley of La Kinzig, in order to appear to blend his operations with those of Gen. St. Suzanne."
"That general received orders on the 27th, to retire to Kehl, in order to return by the left bank of the Rhine to Brissac, and from thence to Fribourg, where he should have arrived on the 3th."
"Gen. St. Cyr, who had orders to advance from Fribourg to St. Blaise by Totenau, and to make rapid marches, commenced his operations the same day."
"The two divisions of Generals Delmas and Leclerc set out from Basse, and advanced to Seckingen, without meeting any obstacle. Gen. Richepaule had orders to advance to St. Blaise by the valley of La Veiffen, to support the movements of Gen. St. Cyr, as well as to cover the right of the divisions of Delmas and Leclerc."
"On the 29th, Gen. Delmas forced the position of the enemy, who were entrenched on the Alz, taking two pieces of cannon and 200 prisoners. The attack and pursuit were so rapid, that the enemy driven from those works, had not time to destroy the bridge and form behind the river. Adjutant general Coeborn was one of the first to pass the torrent, leaping on the shoulders of a grenadier. At the same time General Richepaule drove from St. Blaise four of the enemy's battalions that occupied it, and took 150 prisoners."
"Gen. St. Suzanne took a position at Fribourg, Gen. St. Cyr at St. Blaise, and the corps of reserve on the Wurack. In this march Gen. Leclerc was slightly wounded. The same day Gen. Richepaule united himself with the corps of reserve."
"On the 31st of May Gen. St. Suzanne was to march against Neustadt and Loffingen. Gen. St. Cyr advanced to Smaltingen, of which he took a position, after a very brisk engagement. He took some prisoners and a magazine."
"The corps of reserve passed the Wurack, pushing the enemy vigorously."
"Gen. Lecourbe passed the Rhine, between Schaffhausen and Stein. This passage was made with prodigious rapidity. Gen. Lecourbe had combined his means with such precision, that in an hour and an half the bridge was thrown over, and within three hours his whole corps had taken its position on the right bank of the Rhine. The enemy retired only in the village of Busingen. The result of the engagements on the three points of the passage is between 7 and 800 prisoners, a major, 8 officers, 3 pieces of cannon, and also the occupation of the castle of Hohenwil, which surrendered by capitulation. The fort is almost impregnable, and was provided with 80 pieces of brass cannon."
"Since the commencement of the operations to the present time, the loss of the enemy on the whole extent of the line may amount to about 1500 prisoners, and 6 pieces of cannon."
"The enemy appear to be taking possession of the line of Stockach, and the army is now marching to engage them. It is united, with the exception of the corps commanded by gen. St. Suzanne."
"I send you a copy of the capitulation of the fort of Hohenwil. All the Generals praise the bravery of the soldiers, and the real and intelligence of the officers."
"Health and Respect,"
DESSOLES."
VIENNA, April 26.
From the Court Gazette.
According to accounts received here from General Melas, from Madonna di Savoia, Varragio, and Saffello, from the 11th to the 17th instant, he continues his operations in the Riviera, and against Genoa. Every where the enemy makes the most obstinate resistance, and in one of the different engagements, which happened on the 11th, between Logaretto and Monte Fojale, they could only be driven to flight by the unexampled bravery of our grenadiers, and the skilful manner in which they made use of the bayonet. A chief of brigade, several staff-officers, and sixty privates were made prisoners on this occasion: Massena himself was in danger of being taken, and was saved with the greatest difficulty by his troops. On the same day Field-Marshal Lieutenant Ertinis was attacked on Monte St. Giacomo, by the French General of division, Souhet, whom he repulsed, but not without considerable loss.
At the same time, the advanced posts of Field Marshal Lieutenant Kaim were attacked near Chaumont by a division of troops under General Thurreau, from Briancon, but he repulsed them beyond the Thora. On the preceding day, however, the enemy had succeeded, favoured by a fog, in surprizing the brigade of General Ulm on the height of Sette Pani, and in driving him from that post, after which he joined Field Marshal Lieutenant Ertinis, in his position on Monte St. Giacomo.
On the 12th at ten in the morning, the brigades of our left wing were violently attacked at several points, by the enemy who succeeded in dislodging the regiment of Terzi and a battalion of Reilly from the height point of the Armetta, after they had sustained the most furious attacks. The fire continued from ten in the morning till night, with considerable loss on both sides. The Brigade of General Sticker maintained its position. This event induced General Melas, on the 13th, to order the brigades of Buffy and Lattermann to the heights of Arbigola and Monte Reginno, to attack the enemy with a concentrated force. The latter endeavoured to be beforehand with him, and on the evening of the 14th, General Count St. Julien was attacked in front by about 4000 men, coming down from Mount Pametta, 2000 men attempting, at the same time, to make themselves masters of Saffello, and thus to menace that General's front and rear; but he maintained his position in spite of their repeated attacks, and on the 15th, the four brigades Buffy, Bramano, Bellegarde, and Sticker, advanced, so that the left wing of the army was on Monte Lodrino, the centre on Stella St. Giuliana, and the right wing, consisting of a brigade of Grenadiers, on the heights of Albizola. At two in the afternoon, the enemy, with their usual impetuosity, attacked both wings, but were repulsed by the brigades of Lattermann, Buffy, and St. Julien; the engagement only terminating at nine in the evening.
On the 15th, the enemy were driven from Saffello, and Gen. Melas led the abovenamed brigades against the Armetta, ordering the regiment Stuart, with one of them, to Monte Fajale, to establish a communication with the troops under Field Marshal Lieut. Hohenzollern.
On the 19th, Field Marshal Lieut. Hohenzollern was at Lavezzara, and his advanced post close to St. Pietro d'Arena. Throughout that neighbourhood the country people have taken up arms against the common enemy; and as Field Marshal Lieut. Ott has likewise advanced to Calvari, on the Rifagno, and his advanced post extending from Cretto to Quinto, on the sea-coast; we must expect further intelligence from this concentrated situation of the army against Genoa. Gen. Melas promises soon to send positive intelligence of our own and the enemy's loss.
(Private Correspondence.)
By several couriers sent hither by Gen. Melas, we have received the following intelligence respecting the further operations of his army.
From the 13th to the 17th, the engagements continued without interruption. Gen. Massena made five different attacks upon the flower of his army. A corps of 6000 grenadiers led by him in person, had 3000 killed and 1800 made prisoners. Massena was also in the hands of an Imperial chasseur, whom a French chasseur shot, and thus liberated his general. Massena seeing that his troops were beaten in every quarter, withdrew to Genoa with 18,000 men, the remainder of his army of 29,000, and is now entirely blockaded. He attempted to escape by sea, but was forced by the English to return, when he made proposals to Gen. Melas to capitulate, demanding the free departure of himself and his army; his offers were rejected, and he was informed, that from the situation of affairs, a capitulation could not be granted, and that he must surrender at discretion. A courier is now hourly expected, with intelligence of the surrender of Massena and the rest of his army, which is said to suffer greatly from want of provisions.
The obstinacy and inveteracy of the contending armies surpassed that which they had evinced in the battles of Novi and on the Trebbia. The loss of the French, who fought like desperate men, has been very great; but our own has likewise not been considerable. By sea Admiral Lord Keith blockades Genoa in such a manner, that during the day time his fleet is always drawn up in order of battle, and at night the whole fleet (even the smallest vessels) are illuminated, and stationed in such a manner as to make it entirely impossible even for Massena to escape in person.
LONDON.
From Mr. Wickham to Lord Grenville.
Ulm, May 8, 1800
"The enemy by withdrawing their whole force from the Northeast frontier of Switzerland, were enabled to unite a force of 100,000 men. The position of Stockach was attacked on the 3d with a very superior force, and carried with some loss on the part of the Austrians. At the same time the main body of the French, commanded by General Moreau in person, made a desperate attack upon the Austrian force under General Kray, at Engen; but after an obstinate contest, and sacrificing immense numbers of men, they were obliged to desist. In the mean time, the Archduke Ferdinand, who had defeated a body of the enemy that had attempted to cut him off, effected his junction with the main army. In consequence, however, of the loss of Stockach, and the absence of several considerable detachments, General Kray found himself under the necessity of withdrawing in a direction towards the Danube. In the course of this march he was attacked again on the 5th, in a temporary position at Moeskirch, by the whole French army, who were again repulsed, after an obstinate conflict and experiencing a loss much greater than that of the Austrians. The French did not venture to renew the attack in the night, or on the next morning. On the 6th the Austrians took up a position behind the Danube, between Riedlingen and Sigmaringen, without any opposition from the enemy; and on the 8th had again repassed that river, and were preparing to advance. The Archduke Ferdinand is reported to have distinguished himself particularly."
"It cannot be denied that the masterly manoeuvres of General Moreau completely succeeded in diverting the attention of General Kray from the actual point of attack. The latter was induced to consider the feint made by General Suzanne as the real operation, and he was concentrating his forces at Donaueschingen while the French were enabled to pass the Rhine without any check, and turn the positions of the Austrian army. The country to which General Kray has retreated is, however, more favorable to the effective display and evolutions of the Austrian cavalry, against which, in numbers, discipline, and every other respect, it is admitted by all the military men, that the republican cavalry cannot make head. The French have been much indebted for their late successes to superiority of numbers."
ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, May 10.
Letters received this morning from Lord Keith, dated April 21st, mention several important advantages gained by the Austrians in the vicinity of the city of Genoa, under the walls of which place the French have been obliged to concentrate their force. In many attacks the fire of the English ships was employed with considerable effect.
DOWNING-STREET, May 10.
From Hon. Mr. Windham, to Lord Grenville.
"FLORENCE, April 29, 1800.
"The latest news arrived this morning from the vicinity of Genoa, states, that Massena, having been a second time at Voltri, on the 8th inst. was obliged to take refuge, with the remains of his army within the walls of Genoa; and that all the strong ports and forts without the city were in the hands of the combined powers, under the command or General Melas and Admiral Lord Keith."
May 13.
The combined British fleet consists it said not of 30 but of 40 sail of the line, and the force in troops which they had on board at the time they were on the point of sailing when the appearance of the British fleet off Brest prevented from carrying into execution their design, is made to amount to 24,000.
May 15.
The minister has disposed of the lottery on the most advantageous terms for the country, its produce in his budget statement, was calculated only at 200,000l. but at 161. 10s. 5d. a ticket, it will amount to 226,250l. above that sum.
A powerful expedition is certainly preparing to sail, it is to consist of 12,000 men, under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby. The old regiments of Gibraltar and Minorca, are, it is reported, to form a part of this force, and being replaced by militia corps, will be embarked for Genoa, from whence a combined army of British and Imperial troops is to be marched into the south of France.
A letter received from an officer on board Admiral Sir Alan Gardner's ship, dated off Brest the 18th inst. states, "that six sail of French line of battle ships came out of that harbour for the purpose of getting in a convoy which they were greatly in want of, when Lord St. Vincent made the signal to Admiral Berkeley's division to chase, which they did, but the ships escaped back into port, and it is said the convoy also got in during the chase."
Mr. Batram, the English Consul at Civita Vecchia, was robbed and murdered on his way to Rome. M. Gorges, late Chief of the Chouans, finding, since he refused a situation in the French army, that he was watched, and apprehensive for his safety, has escaped London. Dumourier, who made his peace with Louis XVIII. by presenting the plan of a division on the coast from Charente to Ems, was the medium of reconciliation between the French King and the family of Orleans. He is said to have submitted a plan for a division of Europe, between Russia, Prussia, France, and Spain.
Captain Palmer, of the Selby, armed ship on the 3d of May, unfortunately termina-
ted his existence, at Sheerness, with a pistol. About the same time Benj. Frig died in Broadway, Westminster, from having received by mistake, and swallowed too large a quantity of opium.
The duke d'Angouleme, is said, had appointed to leave Mittau early in April, to join the army of Conde, destined for Minorca, where the duke of Orleans, &c. are to wait with it till the success of the Austrians shall encourage the Royal Standard of France to be raised in Provence, at which time all the Emigrant corps in the pay of Britain and supported by a British army, are to endeavour to re-establish the Throne.
General Pichegru resides near Augsburg under the name of Perone. Dumourier, on the 1st of May, returned to Altona from Peterburgh.
The Spaniards are said to have at Manilla 1,600 regulars and militia, and to have fitted out 120 gun vessels to repel the expected attack of the English.
The archduke Charles left Prague, the 26th April, for Bedgwar. The Hereditary Prince of Orange had arrived at Berlin.
Mr. Mellish of London lately gave a poor fellow £40. and settled on him an annuity of £50. for picking up his pocket book, containing about £19,000. and honestly running after him with it.

We understand it was yesterday determined that Hatfield should be tried at the Old Baily sessions.
GENERAL MACK.
Previous to this General's quitting Paris, he wrote a long letter to Carnot, minister at War; on the causes of his detention. In this Letter, he pays great respect to the sentiments entertained by Buonaparte in regard to him.
"On the 17th of March (says General Mack) I had an audience with the First Consul, on which I promised, for myself and the officers of my General Staff, to return to France within three months, from the day on which we should be suffered to depart from Paris, should I not succeed in effecting the return of Generals Grouchy and Perignon to Paris, on their parole. The First Consul having agreed to this proposal, which I made to him verbally, and having promised that he would immediately give orders to the Minister of War to that purpose, I had reason to expect that the War office would make the necessary arrangements for my departure, the more so, as the First Consul, a few minutes after my audience, had sent me word, by General Clarke, that he wished I might defer my departure, for five or six days; as he intended to have another conference with me."
General Mack then proceeds to observe that he was in daily expectation of receiving his dispatches, but he received only dilatory answers. He enters into a comparison of his own situation with that of La Fayette, who was confined, not as a prisoner or war, but agreeable to the principles of the coalition at that time, for having been one of the promoters of the French Revolution. He was himself a prisoner of war.
He then observes, that the benevolent intentions of the chief Consul were evident, from his sending for him from Dijon to Paris. "This was proved to me, by every thing, during the first time after my arrival at Paris, and I had even unequivocal convincing proofs, that the First Consul was fully determined to suffer me to depart as soon as I should have had a certain conference with him, for which I had never applied, but of which the First Consul, from his respectable wish to restore peace, had perhaps expected that it might contribute in a slight degree to bring matters nearer to the point. This conference took place, and I was ready to depart in a few days afterwards. Not without reason had I prepared for my departure; but alas! it seems I have not been so fortunate as to please in this conference; not from having given any cause whatever for exciting suspicion, with respect to my sincere desire of not wishing to contribute to the restoration of peace with my country, but from having freely declared my opinion respecting the means of effecting this peace. No doubt, it was not considered that the nature of an intervention, the business of which could only be to bring both parties nearer to each other, requires a double language, and that on such an occasion he who defends, against the French, the cause of the English, must not, on that account, be considered as their partizan; for, sincerely interested in the peace, he would immediately defend the cause of the French, had he to speak of it to the English, or their allies. I request you, Citizen Minister, not to think it strange that I mention these particulars to you. Do not think them as foreign to my case. You citizen Minister, must at length do me that justice which I have requested too long. My case belongs to your department. For 13 months past, incompetent judges have overloaded me with acts of injustice, for I cannot believe that War Ministers, or those employed under them have advised the shameful violation of the laws of war to which I have been subjected, because I am convinced that every one belonging to the military department of the Republic acts conformably to the principles of honour, justice, and equity."
"I beg you will accept the assurance of the high esteem with which I have the honour to be, &c."
MACK, General.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 12.
Yesterday morning, his Britannic Majesty's ship St. Albans, sailed for Halifax, having on board Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Guillemand, Commissioners under the Sixth Article of the Treaty of Amity with Great-Britain.
Yesterday morning arrived the Schooner Three Sisters, captain Norris, 14 days from Halifax. Came passenger captain Greenfield of the ship Charlotte, belonging to Henry A. and John G. Gifter, merchants of this city, who was taken not long since by the Cleopatra frigate, and sent into Halifax.
Captain Greenfield has favored the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with the following list of American vessels which were taken into Halifax on the 25th and 29th
Two Schooners from Baltimore, taken by a privateer brig from Halifax, condemned in Bermuda, and carried into Halifax. One of the Schooners is called the Eagle; she is now fitting out as a privateer by Prior and Young, refugees, formerly of New York.
From the 16th to 22d June. Brig Hannah, White, two days from Salem bound to Malaga, taken by the St. Albans.
Schooner Fly, Palmer, of and for New York, taken by the Schooner Eagle.
Brig Union of and for New York.
Ship Juno, Dingley, from Boston, bound to Malaga; and a Schooner from Marblehead, both taken by the Cleopatra.
A large Danish ship, bound from Philadelphia to Amsterdam.
As I was coming out of the harbour we saw the Schooner Eagle going up, with a brig under American colours.
JOHN GREENFIELD.
In passing sentence of condemnation on the ship Warren of this port, the Judge of the Court of Vice Admiralty at Halifax observed, "that he could not distinguish the case of the Warren from that of the Gadsden, and other cases, in which it appeared that the property on board was the produce of a Spanish colony going to a port in Spain. It was true the sugars of the Warren were not brought in that ship from the Havana, but the Manifest stated the cargo to be Havana sugar, and upon the late decisions of Sir William Scott, as well as the case of the Little Mary, decided by the laws of appeal, property of that nature cannot be legally exported to Spain."
"Thebaud" must be considered as a Frenchman."
"Mr. Thebaud had 120 bales of Cotton on board the Warren."
Farenheit's Thermometer, at 12 o'clock yesterday, placed in the shade, stood at 87 degrees.
A person was apprehended on Tuesday last on suspicion of counterfeiting money. The necessary implements for coining guineas, half joes, dollars, and quarter of dollars, were found in his possession. He was on the point of proceeding to business, having the metal melted in the crucible, when the officers of justice timely interrupted the process. He has undergone an examination at the police office, before the acting magistrates, who committed him to Bridewell to take his trial at the next court of oyer and terminer to be held in this city in the month of September or October. He is an old offender.
Richard D. Croucher, who was convicted at the court of oyer and terminer on Tuesday last, of committing a rape, was brought up to the bar yesterday to receive sentence. He was addressed in a very pathetic manner by the Recorder, who after representing to him the heinousness of his offence, pronounced the sentence of the law, which was that he be confined in the State Prison, to hard labour, for the term of his natural life.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 14.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Several Mercantile Friends have the thanks of the Editor for their attention in furnishing accurate prices for the Price-Current in the first page of this day's paper. A continuation of their favours is solicited.
"In due" shall not be omitted, although it must be delayed for the present.—The Author's name is requested.
In a part of this day's impression of the Gazette, an erroneous statement of the price of Bills on Hamburg has occurred—instead of 66 a 67 cts. per Mark Banco—read 36 a 37 cts.
An arrival at Boston from London, has furnished London dates to May 20; although not so late as those by the Trawl, received at New-York, there are many interesting articles.—It appears by accounts from Genoa, that Massena had been compelled to offer terms of capitulation; which General Melas would not accept; and that in consequence, he had remonstrated with the English admiral Keith on the subject. In one attack made by Massena in person at the head of 6,000 grenadiers, he lost 3,000 killed, and 1,500 prisoners—these were picked men—the flower of his army. Genoa, with Massena and the remnant of his troops, we doubt not surrendered long ere this, and thus has terminated his bombastic account of victory in ten successive battles with the Austrians.
On the Rhine, the French claim the Victory, but we find that the 10,000 men which Moreau said he had killed and taken prisoners, with the numerous standards and artillery; is now reduced by Detolles to 15,000 Prisoners and 6 pieces of cannon—it is not improbable but the next accounts will reverse the scene as in the case of Massena; he poor devil talked about his 10,000 killed and wounded &c. &c.—But made a small mistake by placing it to the Austrian account instead of his own.
The conspiracy in Paris is a Harlequin trick played by the chief consul to draw off the attention of the People from the disaster of the armies—and will afford a good plea to entreat his body guard some hundreds.
[OFFICIAL.]
Extract of a letter from the American vice-consul at Legborn, dated April 26, 1800.
"Genoa is still in the possession of the French; but from its absolute want of provisions, Massena being lately beat, and now with the remains of his army between that of the Austrians and the city, and the blockade being rigorously kept up both by sea and land, it is supposed must soon fall. So much a certainty it is considered, that one or two American vessels are here waiting to sail on the first news of its surrender."
Extract of a letter from the American consul at Gibraltar, dated May 7, 1800.
"Three Spanish frigates, and fourteen merchant vessels under their convoy, failed a few days since from Cadiz for South America. Two of the former, viz. the Florentina and Carmen, (one loaded with quicksilver) and nine of the latter, were captured immediately after, and brought here by rear-admiral Duckworth. The Swiftsure brought in another. The remaining frigate, the Sabina, loaded with cannon, returned to Cadiz."
"Yesterday arrived four 40 guns ships, two regiments from England for this garrison and two of those here embark tomorrow for the Mediterranean. Five others from England passed here last night; but their destination is not known. It is expected every moment that more troops from England will pass by this port into the Mediterranean, on some secret expedition. The whole, they say, will comprise 20,000 men."
"The French line of battle ship Guillaume Tell, was captured by the English coming out of Malta. The plague rages, with violence at Tangier, Tetuan, &c Minorca is the port of Rendezvous for the above mentioned British armament. They have a large number of heavy battering cannon on board."
MARRIED—on Saturday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Blackwell, William Dewees, Esq. Attorney at Law, to Miss Mary Britton, both of this city.
Extract of a letter dated Halifax, 23d June, 1800, to a mercantile house in this city from a gentleman who was captured in the Danish ship Muhlenfels, bound from this port to Amsterdam.
"I am sorry to inform you that we were captured on the 13th inst. by the St. Albans, British man of war, Capt. Hardy, under a later order from England, to send in all vessels bound to or from enemy's ports, for legal adjudication!"
ANECDOE.
In one of the ships that returned from the West-Indies with the sick troops, so many died every day as to continually employ several of the sailors in sewing them up in sacks, and heaving them overboard. An Irishman being rather clumsy, ran the needle into the nose of one of the sick men, who instantly cried out, "I'm alive, I'm alive!" By J——" replied the other, "that's nothing to me, you're dead upon the parson's books."
The Committee at Guildhall, London, have agreed to allow the present and all future Mayors, an addition of fifteen hundred pounds per annum to support their dignity.
Extract of a letter from captain Collet, of the ship Aurora, dated Plymouth, May 18.
"We arrived here safe, and made the land after a passage of 22 days. We were boarded by a French privateer and treated with civility."
The victories of Mr. Jefferson vaunt loudly of the learning of their oracles. They talk with rapture of his experiments, his projects, his furnace, and his laboratory.—His philosophy is likewise adored, and the discoveries made by his unassisted reason. They forget that with all his pretensions he is only a second-handed varnished D-ist, and that he lacks "the one thing needful."
For reason fail, unless divinely taught. Whatever the learner, learns nothing as he ought. The lamp of revelation only shines. What human reason cannot but oppose, That man, in nature's richest mantle clad, And graced with all philosophy can add, Though fair without, and luminous within, Is still the progeny and heir of sin. Thus taught, down falls the plumage of his pride, He feels his need of an unerring guide, And knows that falling he shall rise no more Unless the power that bade him stand, restore. This is indeed, philosophy; this known, Makes wisdom worthy of the name, his own; And, without this, whatever he discloses, Whether the space between the stars and us, Whether he measure earth, compute the sea, Weigh sun beams, carve a fly, or split a flea The solemn trifler with his boasted skill, Tells much, and is a solemn trifler still.
Parson Mooney amuses himself in the Aurora with certain dreams, respecting the clergy of Connecticut. His discomposed fancy views Dr. Dwight as a Pope and his sophomore class of pupils, as a college of Cardinals. It is truly mournful that the Parson is so very crazy. He must read Don Quixote and quiet his "perturbed spirit" with a turn in the Windmill, or an adventure in the Enchanted Bark!
It is a fact obvious to all but Jacobinical eyes, that of the immense multitude of toads, which of late have choaked up the columns of the Aurora more than half are seditious and treasonable, or flagrantly immoral and flagitious. If the sentiments, exhibited in the drunken revels of the demorats, were realized and acted upon, the state would "topple down headlong" and all the bands of morality would be unloosed.
NATURAL HISTORY.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Connecticut to his friend in this city.
"You wish to know if there are Locusts here as in Pennsylvania:—there are none, it is true of this wonderful insect, that, whether they are all of one Commonwealth or not, there are at least different Provinces or Districts in America. I believe that Hudson's river is a boundary line; and, if my memory serves me, Connecticut river is another. Their periodical return here is once in seventeen years. The first period within my remembrance was in the year 1758. I at that time heard two very aged men, of nice and correct observation, comparing notes upon this subject, who agreed in the dates of four different returns of that insect. Their appearances since have been in the years 1775 and 1792."
"Add to this, that the incisions made by Locusts in young twigs remain and are visible in the hearts of some trees, particularly of the Chestnut, of the largest growth. I have frequently had the curiosity, where the grains of the tree were distinct, to count them; and have ever found them to correspond, in numbers, with some one or other of these periods."
"That this singular creature does not appear under various modifications in the course of the seventeen years, as some suppose, seems probable from this circumstance; That they rise out of the ground under trees which were standing at their former period, at distances equal, and no more, than equal, to the extent of the branches; they also rise in cleared fields which had trees or brushwood upon them at the last period; but, in no case where there had been nothing of the kind to receive their seed. They have also been dug up, at a great depth in the earth, two years or more before their re-emergence."
From a late London paper.
Some few weeks since, a young person who had the appearance of a boy, solicited to be brought on board his Majesty's ship the Actaeon, at Liverpool, and continued in the ship upwards of seven weeks, performing the duty of his station the same as other boys, when by means of a letter sent to some friends, it was discovered that this pretended boy was a fine girl, about 18 years of age. The loss of a mother and the neglect of a father was the only reason she would ever acknowledge for such a step. During the time she was on board the Actaeon, she conducted herself with the greatest propriety, that no one had the least suspicion of her sex; she was sent on shore again, dressed in proper clothes, with a handsome collection made for her by the officers and ship's company.
