French Tuition,
UPON AN ANALYTICAL PLAN. NICHOLAS GOUIN DUFIEF, 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, South 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, scenery and dispatch. N. B.—NICHOLAS G. DUFIEF, 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:—
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 astonishment 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 rays, 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 unerring 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 deviate from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—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 acceptation 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 fruits de la vie, ou de complement de force entre les autres parties du discours : 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 acceptation of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each example 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 similar 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 useless 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 to it.

The Frenchman
WHO refused to give up a STOLEN POINTER DOG when demanded of him on Wednesday morning last about seven o'clock, by the servant of the owner, at the corner of Arch and Sixth streets, is desired to send him to the office of this Gazette, or diligent search will be made after him, and he will be prosecuted as the thief. The Dog is white, excepting a yellow spot on his back, one yellow ear, and two or three yellow spots on his forehead—the other ear is speckled—he is very poor and hip shot. A handsome reward will be given for the dog, and Five Dollars on conviction of the thief. The Frenchman is a tall thin man, of a complexion very dark, and dressed in black clothes (excepting a striped blue and white gingham cravat)—He was seen with the dog in company with a short fat man, in Race near Seventh street, on Sunday afternoon last. august 28 d 4t

T. S. E. is well known to the Editor and has received particular attention; but it will be proper to let the two Secretaries remain in that obscurity which nature intended. This Gazette is devoted to higher pursuits. Should they again be guilty of indecent behaviour at St. Mary's, let the punishment suggested by a member thereof be inflicted. The request of a "TRENTON FEDERALIST" shall be considered. It is grateful to the Editor, to render tribute, where tribute is due, and to give currency to honest praise, bestowed on well earned merit. Those who entertain congenial sentiments, and all real Americans, will read with pleasure the character of Gen. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, delineated by the pen of truth, in this days Gazette. For the forty-eight hours preceding Monday morning sun-rise, there was forty-eight deaths at Fells Point and Baltimore.—There was then 46 Patients in the Hospital and thirteen convalescents, and seven had been discharged cured. Married on Tuesday evening last, by the Rev. T. Ustick, Mr. John Cranston, of this City, (late of New-port, Rhode Island,) to Miss Eliza Woodfield, of the Northern Liberties. Died, lately at the Havana, in his 19th year, Mr. Robert M'Connell, son of Major M. M'Connell, of this city. He was Midshipman on board the United States sloop of war Ganges. The federal list of Candidates to represent New Hampshire in Congress have obtained by a large majority. An insurrection was discovered on the 30th ult. amongst the Negroes in the neighbourhood of Richmond, Virginia, and some of them are lodged in the gaol of that city. It is stated to have been the best planned and most matured of any before attempted. This information was received yesterday by a respectable Mercantile house, in a letter from their correspondent at Richmond. The United States frigate Boston, Little, is under sailing orders from Boston. Seventy men, engaged to cut and prepare timber for the 74 gun ships, which a law of Congress directs to be built, have taken passage from Boston for Georgia. An arrival at Charleston, (South Carolina) from the Havana, brings accounts that the United States ship Warren arrived there three days before she failed, from La Vera Cruz. Her situation was very distressing, owing to a fever which had broke out on board of her, which carried off the Captain, three officers, and forty seamen. When she arrived, there were but two officers able to attend to the working of the ship. Captain Newman died the day before she got into the Havana; he was buried there with the usual honors. A London paper says—American flour requires nearly double the quantity of water to make it into bread, than is used in kneading English flour, and hence it is most profitable, a stone of the former will make 21 lbs 8 oz. of bread, while the latter yields only 18 lbs 8 oz. We observe, with satisfaction, that in the "True Briton" of May last, a third edition is advertised by Cadell and Davies, of that standard and pious work "Elements of Christian Theology," by GEORGE PRETTYMAN, Lord Bishop of Lincoln. This learned prelate, the ornament of the Church, and the sometime tutor and constant friend of the Premier of Great Britain, has employed his liberal leisure in adding another volume to the stores of religion; and his book will be enumerated among the productions of the Heleys, the Paleys, and the Wilberforces of the age. Dr. GOGAN, the sprightly author of Travels on the Rhine, has just published a Philosophical Treatise on the Passions. Such a work must be highly curious, proceeding from an author who is a skilful physician and an accurate scholar, who has united to experience meditation, and, who, like the Ulysses of the Grecian bard, observed the manners of many men, and traced the streets of numerous cities.
One of the misfortunes, under which literature now labours is, that the title of a work no longer announces its intention—Books of travels are converted into vehicles of politics and systems of legislation. Female letter writers teach us the arcana of government and obliquely vindicate, or even recommend manners and actions at which female delicacy should blush and female tenderness mourn. *Tracts on education subvert every principle of filial reverence, Writers on morality lay the axe to the root of domestic harmony. *Compilers of natural history debase their pages with descriptions which modesty cannot peruse. *Philologists disputes the revealed will of God. *Philosophers and Antiquarians deny its historical credibility, and Mathematicians define the non-entity of Him in whom we live, and move, and have our beings. **The Muse chants the yell of discord, and, under the pretence of universal citizenship, founds the dirge of those principles, which her classic predecessor sought to inspire. Last, though not least in effect, ***the Novel, calculated by its insinuating narrative and interesting description, to fascinate the imagination, without rousing the stronger energies of the mind, is converted into an offensive weapon, directed against our religion, our morals, or our government, as the humour of the writer may determine his particular warfare. * See Godwin's Enquirer. †See Buffon, and his deistical followers. ‡ See Dr. Geddes, § Mr. Gibbon, &c. ** See Southey's poems, passim. See *** "Caleb Williams," "Mary," etid genus omne.
The following, if the theory of a genuine lover, is more philosophical, than is commonly formed in those ardent and uncontrolled hours, when men are bewitched by the fascination of Female beauty. Why we love and why we hate, Is not given us to know, Random chance, or wilful hate Guides the shaft from Cupid's bow. If on ZELINDA frown, 'Tis madness all in me to grieve; Since her will is not her own, Why should I unceasing live? If I for ZELINDA die, Deaf to poor Clarissa's cries, Ask not to me the reason why Seek the riddle in the skies.
The following is very old, and has generally passed under the name of the ballad of Bedlam. It is a wonderful specimen of the vivid force, and romantic flights of that aerial faculty, our Imagination.] I'll sail upon the Dogstar And then pursue the morning, I'll chase the moon, 'till it be noon I'll make her leave her morning. I'll climb the frosty mountain, And there I'LL GOIN THE WEATHER; I'll wrench the rainbow from the skies And tie both ends together! The stars pluck from their orbs too, And crowd them in my budget; Now, if I'm not a roaring boy, Let Gresham college judge is. I'll mount the clear Cerulean To shou the tempting gipsies! I'll play at bowls with the sun and moon, And fright ye with eclipses.
FRIENDSHIP. MR. EDITOR. [The following was found in a volume of anonymous pieces. It strikes my mind as well fancied, and is certainly a true picture of the invaluable affection that it describes.] DISTILLED amidst the gloom of night, Dark hangs the dew-drop on the thorn; 'Till noticed by approaching light, It glitters in the smile of morn. Morn soon retires, her feeble power The sun out-beams with genial day, And gently, in benignant hour, Exhales the liquid pearl away. Thus on affliction's sabb'd bed, Deep sorrows rise, of saddest hue; Condering round the mourner's head, They bathe the cheek with chilly dew. Though pity shews her dawn from Heav'n, When kind the points assistance near; To Friendship's Sun alone 'tis given To sooth and dry the mourner's tear.
The following is a very elegant expansion of a trite idea. It reminds us of the manner of Dr. LANGHORNE. The author is our own, and joins the powers of song to those of Dramatic Imitation. Ask why a blush o'erpreads the rose, Its beauteous leaf in crimson dy'd, Why round the busy zephyr blows, And waves the flower in fately pride? Ask why the lillies drooping shed The dew-drop from their pallid leaf— Why each reclines its beauteous head As weighed to earth with bitter grief? Emma vouchsafed the rose a kiss— The modest lilly the distained, Who would not weep such joy to miss? Who would not blush such joy obtain'd? Quoth L—h to Duane, Prithee wipe off this stain, Which so carefelly flicks to my skirt— That I would fain could, Replied Mohamoud, But there's indelible dirt. Alas! cried the Quack, With this blotch on my back, I never shall rise to a palace— No matter, said Will, With your pick and your pill, You may yet rise as high as the GALLOWS. *The name which this foreign renegado assumed, when, in the disguise of a native, he fled from India and came to be the opprobrium of this country.
POLITICAL.
From the Boston Commercial Gazette. THE CHARACTER OF GENERAL ALEXANDER HAMILTON, CONSIDERED AND VINDICATED. [Conclusion.]
HAVING fully considered the little tales and slanders which have been propagated by the malicious industry of his enemies, it remains that we confound these pitiful calumniators by a simple exhibition of that galaxy of talents and services which have done honor both to his country and age. Would to heaven! I possessed for this occasion the pure, elastic, and eloquent pen, of the refined and modest Kirkland, whom the savage spirit of Jacobinism has dragged before the public, and with its wonted regard to truth, has charged with being the writer of this piece so infinitely beneath his talents. In no one man in America, are combined so many, and such extraordinary qualities, which writers upon human nature, have declared to be incompatible as in the character of Hamilton—all his faculties are so perfectly formed and so distinctly marked, that they appear to have been produced, by the strongest energies of nature. To an imagination lively, rapid and richly stored with the best of nature's imagery, he unites a strong, clear, nervous and correct understanding—with a memory so retentive that it suffers nothing valuable to escape it, he possesses a power of reflection, combination and arrangement which renders all his ideas useful. Equally capable from these rare talents of displaying the brilliant flights of fancy, or the abstruse reflections of science, he has been equally distinguished at the Bar, the Senate and in the Cabinet. Great genius, great orators and great statesmen, have too frequently been great cowards. It certainly was the reputed misfortune of Cicero, of Condorcet and of Jefferson—But Hamilton has a soul as brave as Cæsar's, and a heart as pure as Cato's; fearless of dangers; proud of nothing but his integrity; covetous only of his country's good; he has often dared his foes in battle, and his assailants have known full well that he is ready and willing to vindicate his own fame whenever they are openly to attack it. With qualities so rare, and so infrequently united, it had not been possible, that Hamilton could have passed down the current undistinguished and unknown. When our revolutionary war called for talents, and furnished the occasions for their exercise, Hamilton, then just of age, girded on his sword for the defence of his country. In his department, which I have understood, was in the artillery, he soon distinguished himself and with no other friends than his own superior talents, he speedily attracted the attention of that excellent judge of human nature, WASHINGTON. In the family, and peculiar confidence of the commander in chief, he passed a very large portion of the war; but a spirit so active as Hamilton's wanted for situations of more danger and more exertion. He quitted the General, and was invested with the command of a regiment of artillery. In this situation, at the siege of Yorktown, he was enabled to display his courage, his firmness and military skill. At the close of the war, he resumed his profession, and with a rapidity unparalleled in the history of the American bar, and impracticable to any other man, he attained almost instantaneously, the most eminent reputation. The confidence of his fellow citizens at this period, placed him in the Congress of the United States where he first acquired the hatred of the Gallic faction, by opposing the intrigues, the secret but scandalous intrigues of the Cabinet of Versailles. In the state of convulsion, distress, disorder and decline which ensued the peace of 1783, there was no room for the exertion of superior talents until the year 1787, when the Convention which framed our excellent Constitution were assembled. In that illustrious body, Hamilton was a powerful, influential, able and important member—In the course of those debates, he developed that intuitive perception, that strength and clearness of mind, that knowledge of human nature, and that acquaintance with the interests, wants and character of the American people, which have since been so conspicuous in him—after the promulgation of the Constitution, he was indefatigable in his exertions for its adoption—the great and important State of New-York, without which our union could not have been perfected, was the most opposed to the Constitution.—By the unremitted exertions of Jay, Hamilton, and King, the object was at last effected, and nothing contributed more largely to the elucidation and defence of that excellent system of government, than the admirable essays under the title of the Federalist, of which Hamilton deservedly has the principal merit.—After the first organization of the government, it became important to select the greatest talents to fill the different departments. The finances of the nation exhibited a melancholy and confused aspect; no branch of Revenue existed. The promises of the government were treated with contempt. The habits of the people were averse to the regular restraints of a well conducted finance. Ordinary talents were not fitted to the magnitude of the exigency. The requisite abilities must necessarily be prodigies, and the country could not and would not offer the rewards necessary to attempt so Herculean a task. Washington had seen the talents of Hamilton in the dawn of their splendour, and eight years absence had not effaced the recollection of them. He knew also the disinterested nature of his soul, that his country's success and glory was all the reward he would ask.—From the Potomac he looked northward, and drew from the banks of the Hudson,

The mind, that was from this confusion, to produce order. To substitute stability, system, energy, to a mess of disorder, and feeble, shifting experiments. In his judgment Washington was always incomparable. In this choice he had a peculiar felicity . The Secretary of the Treasury was all that he could have been wished. Public credit revived. A funding system was devised, wise, moderate, and as just as the peculiar situation of the United States would admit. Fixed revenues were established, easy to the citizen, and collected without embarrassment. The whole arrangement of the fiscal departments were admired for their simplicity, their economy, and their effect. America was gratified. New sources of wealth sprang into existence. A languishing and almost expiring commerce started with new vigour, and manufactures and agriculture received a corresponding support. His contemporaries do him the justice to say, that the Secretary has all the merit of it. Congress followed where he led. This is the true source of the rival jealousy which has burst out into pitiful calumnies against the man. This however is among the final left honours of Hamilton. His exertions were not confined to his own department only. In every branch of the government, he was consulted, respected, and influential. In the cabinet Washington did not think it beneath the dignity of his station to advise with and command the talents of his great officers, who were by a standing law required to give him their opinions whenever asked . Here Hamilton shone with peculiar brightness. Always prepared, generally correct, and invariably frank and sincere, he was a great and important aid to the President in his arduous, delicate and important station. Washington was never afraid to hear the opinions of men, however great, or however different from his own. He listened with calmness and decided with Independence . In the western insurrection of 1793, which was so formidable as that with a "few thousand dollars" force of our greatest men, would have decided on war instead of peace, but which terminated to the honor and reputation of the government, Hamilton gave a specimen of his superior and commanding talents. He was invited by Washington to accompany him to the seat of insurrection. When arrived they found every thing in our army in a state of deplorable confusion and disorder. Disrupt and discontent universally prevailed. Hamilton was requested by Missis to interfere and almost in an instant every thing was reversed. Even his enemies were charmed by the magic force of his talents. Calumny itself forgot its office, and on the return of the army joined the general plaudit due to his unrivalled exertions. When the delicate and important question of neutrality occurred in the Cabinet, Jefferson and Hamilton were opposed on the question. Hamilton strongly advocated neutrality—Jefferson feebly opposed it. The former was successful and wrote those admirable essays under the title of Pacificus in support of Washington's conduct. When the British treaty was adopted by the constitutional authorities, he again volunteered in their support, and published his excellent speculations under the title of Camilus . In short, in whatever situation he is viewed, he is still the same exalted, disinterested, and indefatigable public servant.
It is the singular fortune of Hamilton, that either his old or new enemies praise every great act of his life. The old Jacobins profess to admire the Constitution. Certainly Hamilton has as much merit in that as any man. The new Jacobins profess to admire the funding system . The revenue system, the system of neutrality, and the British treaty. And for all these Hamilton has been the most powerful advocate . Yet both these classes of men used to think ill of him . One other remark, and then conscious of my inability. I quit the subject. Is there any one , man in the United States who has been so ill rewarded ? He came out of the army poor. He went into the treasury from a profession which gave him 8000 dollars per annum, and received a salary of 3500 dollars. He quitted it because he could not live. He has not sought a foreign employ, nor has he been President nor vice President nor has he received a salary of 25,000 dollars per annum. And yet did he ever boast of his services, sufferings, or complain of public ingratitude? Does this look like ambition?
"NO JEALOUS RIVAL."
BY DESIRE. The following Address was published in the Gazette of the United States towards the close of last season. As the uncommon share of health we enjoy in Philadelphia, at this time, may be in part owing to the attention that has been paid by our citizens to the wholesome advice contained in this address, it may be of use to our suffering brethren at Baltimore, Norfolk, Providence, and other places, to republish it.
TO THE EDITOR Of the Gazette of the United States, Sir, PERMIT me to join with you in congratulations to our fellow citizens on the return of health to this city, and to rejoice with them that the destroying angel has not been permitted to commit such devastation in this as it has done in former years. This is, no doubt, in part owing to the general desertion of the citizens, but it is also in some measure owing to the improved method of treating the disease; and I am more and more convinced from my experience this year, that this fever is as tractable as any other, and that by proper management, the most obnoxious part of it, that is
the infection, may be in a great measure obviated, and without the use of mercury, for I do aver that I have not made use of a single grain of that mineral in the treatment of it this year, and yet I have not lost one single patient in this fever. It is evident, therefore, that that loathsome method of lacerating the body of the patient all over with mercurial ointment, and consequently, that the loss of teeth, and the other numerous ills that ensue from salivation, and from the profuse use of mercury, may be avoided.
But a writer in one of the newspapers asks these serious questions—What, says he, are we still to be visited with this fever every year? Is all business to be suspended, is our city to be deserted, and are the citizens to continue to waste the earnings of a few months in expensive excursions into the country every summer? To these questions I answer, that it is but reasonable to expect, that we shall be visited by complaints peculiar to countries situated in similar climates and under similar circumstances with our own; but then by making use of the same precautions, and adopting similar modes of living with them, we shall not be exposed to greater inconveniences than they are exposed to.
The misfortune is that, we of these United States being chiefly descended from persons from the northern parts of Europe, such as England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany; our ancestors brought over with them the customs, habits and modes of living that were common in those countries, and we, their descendants, have implicitly adopted their modes of life, without regard to the difference of climate and our own situation.
It is well known that the people of these northern countries live in a manner very different from those in the southern parts of Europe; for instance, it is well known that they live much more upon animal food, and that they make use of much less vegetable in their diet than they do to the southward. It is also well known that they drink much more ardent spirits than they do in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
Those countries were formerly subject to the plague, which is the very worst species of infectious fever. Even the cities of London and Exeter, which are situated in the southern parts of England were formerly visited by the plague, though now they are two of the most healthy cities in the world, and yet they are much more populous than any of the cities in the United States; the reason is, they have altered their method of living, and adapted it to the methods pursued in southern countries. Mr. Miller, the author of the Gardener's Dictionary , and who for many years had the care of the physic garden at Chelsea, assured me, that the quantity of vegetables carried to the London market, exceeded what it had done formerly, within his remembrance, to a degree that was beyond conception, and Trufler, in his Croponology , among many other memorable things that he has recorded, assures us that there was no such thing in England as a kitchen garden before the time of Harry the Eighth; and now if you go into Covent Garden or the Fleet markets, or a market day morning, you will see vegetables enough almost to fill the dome of St. Paul's, and the market of Exeter, in Devonshire, is not more famous for its great variety and abundance of excellent fish, caught in Torbay, and on the other parts of the coast, than it is for an abundance of the choicest vegetables. At Panton, where King William lodged the first night after he landed, to deliver England from Popery and slavery, they have cabbage plants fit to plant out in the month of April.
Ardent spirits, also, are not nearly so much drunk in England as they were formerly, instead of which fermented and malt liquor, are used, such as beer of different kinds, but more especially porter and cyder, of which they have great abundance in Devonshire. A great brawley Irish coal-heaver, who works on board the ships in the river Thames, that brings coal from New-Castle, I have been assured, will drink two or three gallons of porter in a day, by which means he is enabled to go through that severe exercise, and yet enjoy the most perfect state of health.
It is by such means as these, together with their great cleanliness, occasioned by their plentiful supply of water, that the cities of London and Westminster enjoy so much more perfect health than they did formerly. To the house in which I lived in London, which was the house formerly inhabited by Sir Robert Ladbroke, who was the father of the city, there were four kinds of water laid in, to wit—New River water. Thames water, rain water and pump water; and if similar reforms were to take place here, I am confident our citizens might remain peaceably at their homes, and would not be under the necessity of betaking themselves to flight, into the country, for refuge, so often as they have been obliged to do for some years past.
I have lately seen some very sensible hints addressed to the Board of Health, on the subject of their reports of the state of mortality during the sickly season, which I think deserves to be attended to. It is a fact that in great cities, there are persons taking their departure from this world to the next every day, nay almost every hour, but as there are no bills of mortality published for the greater part of the year, this passes almost unnoticed, but when the Board of Health begin to take up the matter, at the commencement of the sickly season, and inform the public that five, ten, fifteen or twenty persons have died in a day, without distinguishing what diseases they have died of, the public mind takes the alarm, it is like hoisting the signal of distress, and is as much as to say, to your tents O Israel; every man thinks that he is the next that is to be attacked, and that no
* As for bleeding I seldom make use of it.
thing but flight can save him from perdition, whereas if a bill of mortality was published every week throughout the year, specifying the particular disease each person died of, the public mind would become familiarized to it besides it would have a good effect in a moral and religious point of view, by acting as a kind of monito mori , and might have something of the same effect, as a weekly sermon has by putting people in mind of that latter end to which we must all come, and thus when the sickly season drew nigh, it would inform them of its approach, by which they would be gradually apprized of their danger, and become prepared to meet it.
THOMAS RUSTON.
P. S. A friend of mine who lived some years at Messina in Sicily, one of the finest islands in the Mediterranean, and was famed as a granary for almost all kinds of grain so long ago as in the time of the Romans. This gentleman assured me that the inhabitants scarcely eat any meat in the summer months, hence they keep no cows, and very few sheep. As a substitute for cows they have goats to supply them with milk, goat's flesh and kid therefore is almost the only meat they make use of, except some little butcher's meat which they have from the coast of Barbary. But they have the greatest variety of delicious fruits, such as olives, figs, dates, pomegranates, grapes, limes, lemons and oranges, and an abundance of all kinds of the choicest vegetables.
Horses they have none, or next to none, their rich grain fields being tilled, and their other laborious work being chiefly done by mules and asses.
France is approaching her last stage of revolutionary insanity. Civism is now exiled from all power. Government is veiled, by violence in a military despot. Thus it was in England, during the fantastic reign of the fanatic Commonwealth . The revolutionary wheel went round; and, after revolving to the tremendous, but upright despotism of one military man, the people found more consolation, and afterwards a more certain security in withdrawing their allegiance from the unlimited usurper of the day to their former limited hereditary monarchy.
The following was Mr. Pitt's unanswerable and beautiful reply to Tierney, who called upon Ministers to state the object of the war in one sentence .
"The Honourable Gentleman (said the Premier) calls upon Ministers to state the object of the war in one sentence . I can state it in one word ! It is
SECURITY.
I can thus state it in one word , though it is not to be explained but in many. The object of the war is Security; Security against a danger, the greatest that ever threatened mankind! A danger the more terrible because it is unexampled and novel. It is a danger, which has more than menaced the safety and independence of all nations. It is a danger, which has attacked the property and peace of all individuals. A danger, which Europe has strained all its sinews to repel, and which no nation has so successfully repelled as the British , because no other nation has acted so energetically , so sincerely , so uniformly on the broad basis of
PRINCIPLE!
Because no other nation has perceived, with equal clearness and decision, the necessity, not only of combating the evil abroad, but of
STIFLING IT AT HOME.
Because no nation has breathed so firm a constancy the tide of Jacobinical power. Because no nation has scrutinized and pierced with so steadfast an eye , as the Government of Great-Britain through all the disguising manoeuvres of Jacobinical hypocrisy.
The above incontrovertible, clear and convincing definition of the object of war by the mitigated monarchy of England against the Gallic Regicides and the common disturbers of the nations ought to be read not only by British subjects, but BY EVERY MEMBER OF CIVIL SOCIETY THROUGH THE ARTN.
That " Gentleman of the first reputation " DUANE who receives letters " admiring the ability with which L'Aurore is conducted " keeps cackling like a goose about British Influence , and has become seriously alarmed at the increasing circulation of the Gazette of the United States. He attempts to impose a belief on his gaping readers that it has but five hundred subscribers!! If the Advertisement for a thousand Rheams of paper per year give him such qualms as he has lately discovered, we could publish a list of new subscribers to the Gazette which would, to use the language of an eminent Physician " shake his gall bladder ."
COMMUNICATION.
We are authorized to acquaint the public, that should the present favourable state of health of this city, under the blessing of Providence, continue;—Messrs Wignell and Reimagle propose to open the Theatrical campaign on Monday the 22d inst., when Miss E. Westrey, a distinguished performer from the New-York Theatre, will make her first appearance on our Boards.
This young lady is said to possess, with superior figure and ample powers, all the feeling, sweetness and bewitching naivete of our late favourite Mrs. Marshall, and must be considered as a very valuable acquisition to our corps Dramatique;—they have advertised their last week at the Federal City, where they have been playing in an elegant little Theatre, fitted up in the Lottery Hotel, with great reputation but with no proportionate profit.
NEW-YORK, September 9.
FOR some weeks past, I have not read a public paper which did not contain remarks on a late pamphlet called, " Serious Considerations, &c. " In all the Jacobin prints this work has been abused with the utmost scurrility and venom; while, in the Federal Gazettes, it is uniformly complimented and defended. Although I am not much in the habit of reading polemical discussions, the contrariety of sentiment entertained about this performance induced me to peruse it. I find it written with elegance and ease, in a stile widely different from the frothy rant of Timoleon & Grotius . The subject is most ably handled, the arguments are forcible and conclusive.—The vein of piety which pervades the valuable production renders it a desirable companion to every honest man and sincere Christian. It has long been suspected that the religious creed of Thomas Jefferson was not strictly orthodox, and this suspicion is now rendered an established fact. It has been proved that he is an avowed DEIST, an ENEMY to pure morals and religion, consequently an enemy to his country and his God. Whoever, therefore, furthers the election of this man to the Presidency of the United States, insults his maker , and redeemer , and boldly defies omnipotence to arms ! What can screen such wretches from the just vengeance of insulted heaven !
