FROM THE ULSTER GAZETTE.
REPUBLICANISM.
BONAPARTE calls his despotism a REPUBLIC. Holland with a Stadtholder for life was called a Republic. Switzerland was called a republic, though several of its cantons were mere aristocracies, having hereditary nobles. Venice, where nobles manage all the affairs, was also called a republic. The United States, where the government is elective, is also a republic. Seeing that the word republicanism may be equally entitled republican. Some men have said it means any thing, every thing and nothing—In short that it conveys no precise idea—no defined notion of a free government. Finding in the experience of other nations, nothing to guide me as to the true meaning of the word, I have for some time endeavored, by keeping in memory certain acts and opinions of the party styling itself republican, to gain out of the whole, something definite on the subject. I communicate to you the result.
“LOOK HERE,”
‘UPON THIS PICTURE,’
‘AND ON THIS.’
Before Mr. Jefferson's election it was republican—
To exclaim against all state secrets, and to demand that the people should continually be enabled to know all that passed.
To contend that all appropriations ought to be for specific purposes, leaving the executive agent no discretion. For not conforming to this principle Pickering has been called a public plunderer over and over again.
To exclaim against bestowing any office whatever on a tory.
To speak at great length on all subjects interesting to the people.
To exclaim against the high salaries of the different officers of the government, and to represent the administration as extravagant on account of them.
To complain bitterly of taxing the laborious part of the community.
To complain bitterly of the sedition law which made nothing criminal which was not criminal before—but which sheltered the accused from punishment, if he had written nothing but what was true.
To condemn the building of a navy as expensive and useless, and as originating in wicked views.
To condemn removals from office on the ground of political opinion, as being a persecution of the right of opinion.
In trials under the sedition act; in trying the right of Congress to lay duties on carriages; to appeal to the courts to pronounce the constitutionality of the acts of congress.
To inculcate the doctrine that without the most watchful jealousy on the part of the people, the public liberty was in continual danger.
To deny the immortal Washington a monument to his memory and to exclaim against mausoleums.
To exclaim against the administration as the dupes and tools of British influence.
To ruin the characters of those who imposed taxes on the people.
To accuse many officers of government of plundering the public and of not accounting for public monies committed to their care.
To exalt the reputation of Col. Burr, our vice president, as a gentleman, a statesman, a military and an honest man.
To disclaim against presidential patronage, lamenting that he had too much power in the appointment of officers—it having an undue influence on the opinions and independence of the appointed.
To contend that the electors of President ought to be chosen by the people in districts.
For a Congress-man (Lyon) to refuse to wait on the president in person with an answer to his speech.
In short—Before Mr. Jefferson's election it was republican to promise to do a great many very handsome things.
This was republicanism.
And now, after putting the two together, if any body possesses the ability, and will have the goodness to tell me what Jefferson's supporters mean by republicanism, he shall be entitled to the thanks and applause of MORGAN.
Since Mr. Jefferson's election it is republican—
For congress to set many days together with closed doors, voting away the people's money by millions.
To place two millions of dollars at the absolute disposal of the president, who is to account for it 'as soon as may be.'
To put many tories, and those of the very worst description, into office.
When unable to answer their adversaries to be dumb.
To pocket those salaries with the utmost quiet, utterly refusing the least diminution of any of them.
To take taxes off pleasure carriages and loaf sugar, and to continue them on salt bohea tea and the like.
To commence indictments under the common law; by which it is declared to be an aggravation of the offence, if the matter stated by the writer is true.
To recommend the building of a dry dock, at half a million of dollars expense, for twelve frigates, before the frigates themselves were built.
To remove from office every individual, even those who had fought during the whole revolution, for adhering to the politics of Washington and Adams.
To deny the courts all right to test the acts of congress, by the constitution—nay even attempt to destroy the independence of the judiciary.
To bear down and disgrace every one who dares publicly to question and expose the misdeeds of the administration.
To order, by act of congress, monuments to be erected to the memory of very inferior officers.
To be cajoled by Britain, into an engagement to repeal the discriminating duties.
To arrogate great honor for receiving the money arising from those taxes and applying it to the destined purposes.
To hush the story from beginning to end, and to let those whom they accused of so many peculations rest quietly without any prosecution.
To represent him as a Cataline—faithless in public affairs, and utterly abandoned in his private life; a detestable and dangerous man.
To take from the district judges of the United States the right of appointing commissioners of bankruptcy with a salary of six dollars a day, and to give the power of appointment to the president.
To let it go on, without any alteration, in the old way—appointment by the legislature.
For the president to refuse to wait upon Congress, but send somebody with a letter to them.
In short—After Jefferson's election it became republican for the whole party to violate every promise—and by their own acts to burlesque every principle they formerly possessed.
This is republicanism.

FOREIGN NEWS.
ST. PETERSBURG, (Russia)
May 30
Princess Georgiana Maria, just getting into her carriage to go, as she said, to Petersburg, killed general Lasaroff, commandant of the Russian troops in Grusina, by stabbing him with a poignard. At the same instant the daughter of this princess attempted to stab a Russian officer, by whom the general was accompanied, he, however, parried the thrust; and we now wait with impatience for the details of so extraordinary an event.
LONDON, July 15.
Intelligence of the 5th is said to have been received from Hamburg, which states, that on the 3d a Convention was concluded at Lauenburg, by which General Walmoden has consented to the disarming of the Hanoverians—the privates to deliver up their arms, on condition of not being sent prisoners into France; the whole of the artillery of the army to be surrendered to the enemy, but the officers of all descriptions to retain their swords and other marks of rank.
Undoubtedly it is not a very strained supposition, that they who did not think it expedient to fight for their homes, would not fight for their swords. But the accounts we received yesterday, do not justify us in believing that the Hanoverians will suffer themselves to be disarmed quietly. General Walmoden's answer was, that since His Britannic Majesty had not ratified the convention of Sublingen, his Hanoverian army were not further bound by it, and would expend the last drop of their blood rather than submit to such conditions. The spirit of that answer would lead us to suppose, that the Hanoverians would take counsel only from their courage.—The next intelligence from the Elbe will be of decisive importance.
July 16.
It still seems doubtful whether the Hanoverians have made a new capitulation with the French, or persist in their resolution to defend themselves. We fear that they cannot long hold out.—The situation of so many brave men is certainly very interesting to the feelings of every Englishman, at the present moment.—Some reports state that the Emperor of Russia is very much dissatisfied with the conduct of the First Consul in attacking Hanover. If he has feelings of justice, or proper views of policy, he must resent such an outrage against the laws of nations, and of that particular arrangement in Germany, of which he is one of the guarantee. The Court of Berlin, it is said, entertains the same feelings; but this is more doubtful.
NAPLES, June 17.
Within this fortnight past, the English here have used great expedition in packing up their property, and in getting their ships from the harbour to the road, where they lie under the protection of 2 English frigates. An English squadron is cruising between the islands Capri and Sicily.
We have just received a piece of intelligence as important as agreeable, provided it be true. The first consul, at the pressing instance of several courts, and particularly that of Austria, has assured the neutrality of our sovereign. The joyful intelligence has, it is said, been officially communicated to our admiralty.
NEW-YORK, September 9.
YELLOW FEVER.—The Committee of Health for the City of New-York report the number of new cases and deaths since our last, as follows:
  Aug. 30 57 21 36 new cases 16 deaths.   22 21 7   23 28 6   24 12 6   25 11 3   26 17 9 
Capt. Hurtin, of the sch'r Hector, who arrived at this port from Port Antonio, writes to us as follows:
"Accounts had reached Port Antonio on the morning of our leaving that place, from Kingston, of the arrival there of two French 74's captured by the Elephant and Vanguard of equal force, after little or no resistance, they hauling down their colours after the first broadside. They were attempting to make their escape from C. Francis in a squall."
NEWBURYPORT, August 10.
The first consul has revived the chimera of passing to England in gunboats. It is to be performed in a calm, the Eng-
lish are to be unable to manoeuvre their fleet, and are probably, to be all asleep in their watches! So wild and fantastic are many of the purposes of this bubble of fortune, it is frequently impossible to determine whether his greatest preparations are merely ostensible, or for actual attempt. He boasts his army of 480,000 men. Imagining himself at the head of them, he is in idea irresistible. He feels like what he has asserted himself to be, in official language, an envoy from heaven, commissioned to regulate the affairs of men! But to effect the bold stroke to which an unbounded ambition prompts him, he must detach from the military power, necessary to preserve his authority over France, and her reluctantly submissive neighbors, a force necessary for the conquest of England; but he must quit the shores of a nation already jealous of his usurped dominion and recollecting still the milder reign of Lewis XVI he must pass the batteries of Great Britain's wooden walls: he must land in despite of the opposition of a formidable nation, struggling for life and liberty. Should Bonaparte determine on this mad enterprize, and rashly commit himself to Nelson's element, we venture to predict that he will never re-occupy the palace of St. Cloud.
BALTIMORE, August 30.
Arrived, brig Fly, captain pearce, 45 days from Cape de Verd, and 25 from Dominique.
The Fly was boarded by two English men of war and treated politely. On the 4th instant, off Sandy Point, (St. Kitts) was brought too by the Lark privateer, captain Clark, of that place, ordering captain P. to lower his boat down and come immediately on board, which was complied with. After examining the brig's papers and finding no hold for taking her in, the lieutenant and a number of men came on board armed, to search for French property or papers; but finding none, gave liberty to proceed, capt. P's boat setting them on board the privateer again. On the return of the boat, a prize master, (Innis Barton, of Providence R. I.) came on board, ordering the brig immediately into St. Kitts; and on the captain and crew refusing to work her in he made a signal for the privateer to fire into her behaving in a very rascally manner, until the brig Polly, capt. Pearce of Rhode Island, hove in sight, from Gaudaloup, when he left us and went on board the privateer, ordering captain P. to keep under her lee. When the brig Polly came up they boarded her, took the crew out and carried them on board the privateer, put a prize-master and several men on board, and sent her into St. Kitts for adjudication. Night coming on, and the privateer being short of men, they suffered captain P. to proceed, after half a days detention, and receiving the most shameful treatment.
When captain P. left Dominique (the 1st. August) it was daily expected that the English would make an attempt to take Martinique, it being very closely blockaded.
The English privateers swarm among the islands, and have taken many rich prizes—several Guineamen and others have recently been brought into Dominique.
LATE FROM LISBON.
The brig James, Folger, arrived at Boston last Wednesday, in 35 days from Lisbon, and brings advices, that the strictest neutrality was observed by the Portuguese government; and that no French or English vessel of war was suffered to come above Ballast castle, or either power permitted to make any armaments in its ports. Capt. Folger also advises, that the king of Spain had informed Buonaparte, he should not permit the invasion of Portugal through his dominions; and that in defence of this position, if compelled to action, he would spill the last drop of the blood of his subjects.
PHILADELPHIA, September 5.
A letter from London under date of July 22d, says, "The zeal manifesting itself among the middle classes of society, in the capital, ever since the Defence Bill has been in progress through the House of Commons, proves that heavy as our taxes are, and heavier as they will be and enormous as is the national debt when a foe threatens to invade us, public virtue, still animates and pervades us. Besides the meeting of counties and wards, societies in London are holding meetings, and striving with each other which shall do acts most meritorious for the general protection. The Phenix and Globe Insurance Companies propose to raise one hundred men each, to equip and train them at their own ex-
pense. The young noblemen and gentry at the west end of the town mean to raise a regiment of cavalry among themselves, to consist of one thousand men, mounted on the best horses, each member to be attended by a servant, who is also to be mounted. But the most patriotic deed, was that of the meeting at Loyds, Brook Watson, Esq. in the chair, when £ 50,000 were subscribed in less than half an hour. Several gentlemen subscribed £ 1000 each. It is expected that 300,000 men will be raised out of the first class in the Defence bill, viz. between 17 and 36 years of age."
In a postscript to the above letter is added, "Mr. Munroe, the American Ambassador, arrived in town a few days ago, from France."
A report is current this morning, that the French have made an attempt on the Island of Jersey, and in the attempt have lost six thousand men. I give it to you only as a report."
NORFOLK, August 30.
By Capt. Vickery, of the ship Thomas, 49 days from Gibraltar, we learn, that two days before his departure news was received that the Island of Sicily and city of Messina was taken possession of by the British fleet under Admiral Nelson; Toulon is blockaded by 9 sail of the line; 17 prizes have been sent into Gibraltar.
The following intelligence has been received from Falmouth, which we communicate on no other grounds than the account itself affords. We can only express our hope that more authentic information may soon enable us to confirm the truth of it:—"Tuesday last, a pilot belonging to Helstone, in Cornwall, boarded a Prussian galliot, from Alicante, with salt, which vessel had the morning before been boarded by some persons belonging to a Guernsey privateer returning from a cruise, which perons said, that admiral Cornwallis had taken the convoy from St. Domingo, including the men of war." [Lon. Pap.]
MARTINSBURG, September 9.
"NUMA," in reply to the letter of William Baker addressed to the citizens of Prince George's County, published in the last Intelligencer, shall be inserted in our next.
From the BOSTON CENTINEL. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
MR. RUSSELL. THE present crisis is one of the most interesting which any combination of human affairs has ever offered to the politician. During a war of twelve years, on whose bloody records the names of slaughtered millions are enrolled; whose effects were not confined to Europe, but implicated remote parts of the globe, and whose consequences have annihilated several nations; the hopes, the fears, and the opinions of mankind, have been alternately elated and depressed, supported and abandoned. France at one time menaced with ruin, and at another carrying destruction into the inmost dwellings of her enemies; forced some of them to pass under the yoke and awed the rest into a peace, whose terms she dictated. Great Britain, though the last to continue the war, was not the least in making concessions. She relinquished with a liberality, that some thought blended with fear, the most important colonies in both hemispheres. The French government took possession of them with avidity, and it was one of the extraordinary circumstances of that war, that to the capture and occupancy of these colonies, by her enemies, she owes their value and their existence. But not content with the restoration of these distant territories, and the vast extent of the empire assigned to him by the continental treaty of peace; the First Consul incorporated the mountains of Piedmont, with the republic; took the island of Elba, placed a garrison in Leghorn, condescended to name the Doge of Genoa, subjugated Switzerland, and laying aside vain formalities, terminated the uneasy, equivocal state of Holland, by forcibly marching his troops into her citadels. What has Great Britain opposed to these aggrandizements? She retains possession of a solitary fortress,
* See his answer to the Senate of Genoa, and the unexampled arrogance it discovers, where he tells them that the greatest mark of his good will is his condescension in naming the chief magistrate of their country. It also contains a curious instance of his ignorance with respect to the vessels to be employed in warfare against the Barbary powers.
a miserable rock, until the stipulations of the treaty respecting it are complied with. On this rock, the laurels of the First Consul are to flourish or to wither, and he has pledged himself that the blood of army after army shall flow, to water the plants.
This is the declared subject of the war, but in reality, Malta and Lampedosa, are as innocent of the strife as the Apostle Saint Paul who was shipwrecked on the former, or the Goddess Calypso, who cajoled Telemachus on the latter. The question, which the swords of thousands are drawn to decide, is whether France shall subjugate the world; whether Rome shall revive in Paris, and precious citizens excepted, the rest of the world be esteemed and governed as barbarians. It is not to determine, whether France shall be governed by the bayonets of the consular guard, or by a king and nobility; whether Austria or France shall control Italy; but whether Great-Britain shall perish and the freedom of mankind be annihilated. It is not the dispute of an Island or a province, it is the quarrel of civilized man. Holland was free, Switzerland was free, they are enslaved; Great-Britain and the U. States are still the asylum of liberty, but they are the last;—when England falls this country must follow, and the history of freedom will be terminated.— Illud fuit.
France waged the last war, with various success. In the commencement when she inscribed freedom on her banners, the opinion of a large part of the world was in her favor; and the successful pride of Austria, and the encroaching ambition of England, inspired jealousy and suspicion. Circumstances changed; the idea of liberty in France was found to be a sanguinary illusion: she became victorious and her rapacity can only be satisfied by devouring the world. Fortunately this truth is felt, and every nation abhors her tyranny, and deprecates her power.
Through the whole of the negotiation, according to the papers that have been published; the evasions of the French have been contemptible. The conversation of Talleyrand with Lord Whitworth are so destitute of argument, he has so much subterfuge, repeats over the same thing so often, that they must be regarded as insult. Did the Minister of Foreign affairs think he was displaying diplomatic skill, when he told the English Minister, that the First Consul had given up all ideas of taking Egypt, and thought no longer of possessing that country; and that Malta might be surrendered without fear on that point; at the same time that Bonaparte himself told Lord Whitworth with all the frankness of a soldier, that he would have that country at all events, either by the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, or by some other cause? Does the ex-bishop of Autun imagine, because the Pope has made him a layman, and given him leave to marry his mistress, that he may insult the judgment of Europe with the most miserable subtleties? Why else does he rely so strongly in his manifesto, on the imperious term of 36 hours, given to decide on the Ultimatum; when this term was not fixed, until the English Minister had been exposed to the most vexatious, the most fatal delay. Does it not shew the utmost patience on the part of the British government to have waited an hour longer for an answer, when the discussion had been so long protracted by the most miserable puerilities; not with any intention of coming to a decision but only to gain time.
The First Consul has thus with the temerity of a fortunate soldier plunged himself into a war. His insatiable ambition, his personal vanity has engaged him in a contest of which none can foresee the event. He has no other mode of warfare but to invade Great-Britain, of which he doubts the success and he has pledged himself for the attempt.
But is Great Britain the only enemy the Consul has to dread? Look at Europe, and see. Begin with the king of the Two Sicilies, the sight of a pair of French whiskers is to him more dreadful than the fiercest boar in the woods of Caserta; the Queen is only smothering female vengeance, which her ministers are waiting the moment to execute; the French may yet experience a repetition of the Sicilian vespers. The Pope possesses a more tranquil character than his predecessor, but he is tired of giving diadems to General MURAT,† and is the
† General Murat is an incredible and one of the Beaupres. His meanness corresponds with his origin. The Pope made him a present of his miniature picture, encircled with diamonds—Murat requested the artist to make it as large as possible!

unwilling instrument of Consular action. The King of Etruria , of a weak mind, directed by the French Minister, reigns over a people unanimously opposed to him, and whose hatred waits only for an opportunity to act, in the first moments of misfortune, the Grand Duke of Tuscany must be restored to subjects who adore him, and the King of Etruria sink back into the Duke of Parma . The Genoese are of little consequence, and they would embrace the first occasion to save the little that is left them from further plunder. The Piedmontese are earnestly longing for the return of their sovereign. The former King of Sardinia is a mere devotee, and has wisely retired to a Convent. But he has resigned his kingdom to his Brother, the Duke of Aosta , the present King of Sardinia , an ambitious and enterprising prince, who is burning to put himself at the head of his subjects. The Piedmontese are esteemed the most perfidious people in Europe—the probability therefore that they will quietly remain French citizens may be calculated. Of Switzerland it is unnecessary to speak—the French party in that country is annihilated, and the hardy mountaineers do not yet despair of regaining their liberty and independence.
The mortified pride of Austria is still rankling in her bosom; Venice is no compensation for the loss of her influence in Italy , and she still covets the plains of Flanders . The two-headed eagle is still waiting the propitious moment. Prussia , though she has forgotten for a time her attachment to the Stadtholder, in her new acquirements, cannot be indifferent to the fate of Holland ; and even her hatred to Austria must be so far weakened that she can no longer be blind to the enormous power of France . As to the enormous powers of Germany , they are a nest of hornets buzzing with revenge and sharpening their sting. With respect to the Dutch they have long mumbled their herrings in sullen rage; the flame burns the fiercer, for being smothered. Spain finds that she is reduced to the office of teller, and that the mines of Potosi are absorbed, without saturating the sponge of the French treasury; they must cordially wish to see the Bourbons reinstated on their throne. And with all these discontented notions it is not the government alone who are impatient to resent the insults they have received, but they are supported by the individual hatred of every one of their subjects who have been plundered and trampled upon.
The First Consul finds no friends among the nations that surround him; does the love of France make him indifferent to their enmity?—He is standing on the pinnacle of a building, of the most congruous materials; the first shock will tumble it to pieces and bury him in the ruins. Does he repose on the love of the Jacobins or the Royalists? Does he calculate on the people of France , that people who after suffering for twelve years, every imposition and every calamity;—see an obscure foreign family, occupying the palaces of their former sovereigns, and plunging them into a war to gratify their anger and ambition. Does he confide in the attachment of the army; Excepting the garrison of Paris , and a few favoured officers and soldiers; he is hated, envied, execrated by the whole army, who consider him a soldier of fortune, and that he has sacrificed them to aggrandize himself, and family.
The enthusiasm of liberty no longer exists; personal attachment is unfeigned; the existence of Bonaparte is in the hands of the garrison of Paris . He is no common gamester, he does not throw his last die to recover a loss, but he pledges all he has won during the game, to win the little that is left in the hands of his opponent. The chance is desperate; and certainly the first moments of his disgrace, will be the last of his existence.
AMERICANUS.
Harry Crosswell Editor of the Wasp has been tried for a libel on the President. As the Republican Judge would not permit him to GIVE THE TRUTH in evidence he of course was convicted. Not so of Carlton of Salem , for a libel on Col. Pickering; he was at liberty to produce the truth, but could not—he was therefore convicted of Publishing a falsehood.
LONGITUDE.
The Greenock Advertiser of the 17th June, contains the following article:—We have the pleasure to announce an event of the most extraordinary and important nature. A scientific gentleman of great abilities has discovered a method of ascertaining the Longitude. He has favoured us with the inspection of his
papers; and authorized us to promise their publication through the medium of this paper. The public, therefore, and the naval world, in particular, are respectfully informed that we are making the necessary arrangements for this purpose [British Neptune.]
Accounts from New-York represent the situation of that city in the most distressing terms. The fever is fatal in nearly all the cases of its attack; and nothing has prevented the mortality from swelling to an enormous amount, but the timely and universal flight of the citizens.—We sincerely hope that this circumstance, added to the present salubrious air, will, ere long, "stay the complaint." [Phil. paper.]
The Weiser, from Baltimore, laden with rice and tobacco; and the Hariman from Philadelphia, bound to Hamburg, laden with cotton and tobacco, are taken by the British frigate Diana, and sent into Portsmouth, where they are both detained.

Say the Jacobins; yet an extra session of congress is called to add fifteen millions of dollars to that public debt, which will increase it to upwards of one hundred millions of dollars. And for what is this increase? For the Jurisdiction of a region of land covered with Indians; at the time too when the United States have on hand which they cannot sell, no less than two hundred and thirty Five Millions of Acres; enough to form ten states as large as Massachusetts—and a jurisdiction too which the ceder at the time of cession had no more physical power to convey, than the devil had the land he offered to give the savior of the world. New Orleans we admit, would have been worth part of the money were it not that we had just as good a right to use that island for all the purposes for which it can be useful to us, before, as since its cession.
In 1795, this right was guaranteed to the United States by a solemn treaty—or the assignment of an equivalent establishment on another part of the banks of the Mississippi. New Orleans, therefore is out of the question. The truth is, France wanted money—and she has long been in the habit of laying nations under tribute by force or fraud. During the last war finding she could not intimidate nor cajole the American administrations, she plundered the citizens of the United States of near twenty millions of dollars.—In this war she plays the game of cajole with better success, and under the pretence of ceding a tract of wild land, replenishes her almost exhausted coffers with fifteen millions of dollars! This is a 'RUSSE DE CABINET' with a vengeance; and however the clawbacks of the present administration may pretend to the contrary, the world will see the slim flimsiness of the pretence and expostulate accordingly. [Washington Fed.]
MR. JEFFERSON'S CONSISTENCY.
Mr. Jefferson is a consistent man—and so is our Attorney General; and so are all those democrats who wish to give the federal printers the lock jaw. No libel thus far, for there is no truth. We will not say that Mr. Jefferson and his partizans are inconsistent, but we will prove them so—libel or no libel.
On the 4th day of May, 1801, the following sentiments fell from the pen of the "greatest man in America."
"I am sensible with you of the distortions and perversions of truth and justice, practised in the public papers and how difficult to decipher character, through that medium. But these abuses of the press are inseparable from its freedom; and its freedom must be protected, or liberty, civil and religious, be relinquished. It is a part of our duty therefore, to submit to the lacerations of its slanders, as less injurious to our country than the trammels which suppress them."
THOMAS JEFFERSON."
In the year 1803, H. Crosswell had his trial for libelling the said Thomas Jefferson, by a publication, the truth of which he offered to prove, but was not permitted.—Now put this and that together, and learn to admire the consistency of democrats. [Balance.]
The French, in the course of the last ten years, have purchased an immense
quantity of ship timber. This reminds us of the Shoemaker in the Comic Poet; that laid out so much money in lasts, that he had not a farthing left to purchase leather. [Lon. Pap.]
By the last statement of the British navy it appears to consist of 195 sail of the line, 25, from 50 to 60 guns, 215 frigates, 196 sloops of war, making together 631 which is a more powerful fleet than the combined nations of Europe could muster. ibid.

IMITATION OF THE FIRST 33 VERSES OF THE XIV SATIRE OF JUVENAL.
From parents oft what dire corruptions flow! Whose curst examples teach their child to know And practise acts, that fix a hideous stain, Which future conduct would efface in vain; Still rest the stigma plac'd by early fame, And down to latest ages damps the name.
If pleasure in the dice the father takes, See how his little boy the infant shakes; The dear, delusive sounds his fancy please, And gaming grows upon him by degrees.
Nor better hopes does the blest youth af- ford, Who learns to heap with luxuries the board; To cull each dainty bounteous Nature gives,
And midst profusion only thinks he lives; Whilst hoary gluttony delights to see How smart the boy can cook a fricassee, As years advance when science should be taught, And the young mind display its bent of thought,
Though ablest masters ply their evasive art, One only lesson occupies his heart; Still rests his mind on the delicious dish, And in the banquet only finds its wish,
Does Harpax mercy to his son impart? Harpax, whose cruel hand, more cruel heart,
The dupe of passion, o'er his trembling slaves, The Scorpion lash with rage incessant waves;
Whose wife, whose child, with the same abject fear, The frown vindictive, and the blow must bear,
The ductile youth his parent's ways be- holds, And o'er his junior's the same conduct holds;
With oaths and curses gives the dread command, Spurns the weak foot, and hurts the pe- rile hand:
The tyrant early on his mind impress, Smothers each nobler passion of the breast.
Do you expect that virtue should possess Voluptua's daughter? who to such access Pursues lascivious vice, uncheck'd by shame,
That not herself can her adult'rers name! The girl was privy to the tempting sins, And now, though scarcely fledg'd her trade begins;
Writes, as her mother dictates, her amours, And the same pimp provides them para- mours.
So nature wills. More deep her poisons sink, As we revere the source from whence we drink.
[Anti-Democrat.]
ANECDOTE.
A fellow well known in the district, lame, having but one arm, and dressed in the habit of a sailor, was the other day with much vociferation begging near Tow- er-hill. A tar who had just come out of a house where he had probably paid his reckoning and received returns for a note: was as he walked, counting his money with more attention than is usual to persons of his description. While he was thus usefully engaged, the beggar met him, and thrusting his hat before him exclaimed "bless your noble heart, my worthy messmate, spare a few pence for poor Jack, stumped in the starboard arm, his kneebraces shot away, turned out of the service without a smart tick- et."
The sailor, still intent upon his cal- culation which indeed seemed to require the utmost strength of his arithmetical a- bilities, threw a shilling into his hat and was walking away. The lame fellow flushed with success limped after him howling out, "bless you my noble mas- ter, have you no more small change for poor Jack? My bread room's quite emp- ty indeed."
"Avast, brother, avast!" said the sail- or, as the beggar was pressing upon him, "Don't veer out so much jawrope, but sheer off while you are well. If I had given you the ship and cargo you'd still have begged for the longboat."

A VALUABLE TRACT OF LAND
For Sale.
THE above Tract of Land is univer- sally known by the name of the White House Tavern; it contains 177 acres, equal in soil to any in these parts; as to public business, there is none super- ior. Further description need not be given, as it's so well known, except any person living at a distance may incline to purchase, in which case it may be ne- cessary to add, that it is within 16 miles of Winchester, 6 of Charles Town, on the main road leading from the Northern to the Western Territories.

UNIMPROVED LAND
Belonging to the heirs of Geo. Scott, dec'd, To Lease.
FOUR hundred and forty three acres, West of the North Mountain, about nine miles from Martinsburg (the Coun- ty town) and less than three from a Merchant Mill, nor more than nine from the Potomak River. The timber is heavy and abundant, which denotes the quality of the land to be strong—it is ac- cordingly well adapted to all kinds of grain, and very good for grazing, is plentifully watered, lays favourable, and will admit of 20 to 30 acres of excellent meadow being made at a moderate ex- pense. Many other advantages are pos- sessed which are not detailed, presum- ing that renters would wish to examine for themselves. Desirous to rent for improvements, neither cash nor grain will be required, it cannot therefore fail to become an object of much interest to those possessing force, especially as the terms, for five years, will be made the most easy and accommodating possible.
