THE COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.
An ODE.
FAR from the bustle of the anxious crowd,
The mighty Politicians of the age, Where democratic zeal, with clamour
loud, Turns public spirit into party rage; Here let us sit and take a laughing
view, Of embryo brats, whose births, whose births for office
wait, Imploring help from all the obstetric
crew, While straggling thousands lick the ar- tist's feet."
In doleful mood thus prostrate Esau lay, When Jacob, lucky rogue, the blessing
stole; "Have ye no blessings left for me, they
say,— "O sad reward for all our pain and
toil?" See the sage Re-nuse, whose mi- mic art
Can turn the Planets, like a spinning-
wheel, For philosophic play, mount Fashion's
cart While tottering empires in his fancy
reel. See blustering Commodore, his squad-
rons rang'd Both Law and Medicine, hail the wish'd
for day When Chestnut BURR, to polish'd eye-
stone chang'd, From cloudy films shall purge their vi-
ual ray. See in Vermont their chaste old tru-
ant growl, Satan's high priest, whose laws he ne'er
defam'd, So from the woods looks out the moon-
struck-owl, Or bear, which stroking oft, the mas-
ter's tam'd. See Boston too preserves one feeble
clan,* For Granna's nest-egg, where she night-
ly lays; While from his lying press their tool-
shaped man† Her cock-a-doodle crows their envied
praise. See southern brethren aid this glorious
cause, (Pure land of liberty) and compact-
join, To abate the rigour of our federal laws,
And help the French to new-form'd
Guillotine. "Curse on your clumsy, chopping, dull
machine, "Whole tardy work our feelings ill
doth suit; "Clap in all Frenchmen, but the Jaco-
bin, "And chop off heads as we tobacco
cut." Oh blest Equality! what charms you'll
prove, When tyrant law no more shall clank
his chain! The mouse and horse in equal size shall
move, And every mother's son turn Congress
man. Before your doors the roasted Pig
shall cry, Come eat me, Sir, and thank you for
your pay; Pumpkins will grow in form of pump-
kin pie, And the whole year be one thanksgiv-
ing day. See in the west, the threat'ning cloud
ascend, The whisky vapours just condens'd to
fog, The uplifted groves this dreadful pha-
lanx bend† And for a cannon point a hollow log.
Here safe we sit, our barns well-stor'd
with hay, Our corn well cribb'd, with heaps of
pumpkins round, With thankful hearts we'll celebrate
this day, And pigs and pies the festive board
shall crown. While Joe and Sue for tardy evening
long, That eve which consummates their nup-
tial ties, The cheerful dance shall aid the jocund
throng, And hymns hymeneal greet the list'ning
skies. Connecticut, Nov. 27, 1794.

For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. FENNO.
THE offence which the Jacobin so- c- ieties in this country take at being called "self-created" naturally excites the curiosity of the public to know who did create them, as well as what they were created for. The fact is, they were made by a foreign emissary— for his own glory and that of those who appointed him. A board of phi- losophers having demonstrated that there was no power in Heaven or Hell, and illegitimated all they found on earth, made out their own right to re- generate one nation, and to impregnate all the rest. Their apostle to us, having been furnished with the means and in- structed in the arts necessary to his work, commenced his public ministry by preaching peace, with his pockets full of war commissions. He tran- substantiated treason into expatriation, and revealed the mystery that a nation might be neutral and all her citizens at the same time engaged in acts of hostility.
He moreover taught the people that the way to preserve their national inde- pendence was, to despise and reject the authorities which their wisdom had es- tablished, and of course to follow him. Incessant in his pursuit, he hired writ- ers, bought speakers, paid printers, and organized the malcontents into corporations from Charleston to Bos- ton, and through the wilderness from Vermont to Kentucky; some of which he beautified with his presence, and all with large portions of his spirit, which yet remains with them. He often eat and drank with the meanest of his disci- ples, and instructed them by signs and parables as they were able to receive his doctrine, that it was their right to rule, and that they might enjoy in this life what Odin promised his votaries in the next, the pleasure of drinking out of their enemies skulls. At one sitting, impiously likened to a communion, he instituted the sacraments of his order, not in bread and wine, but in pig and wine. The head of the poor animal, severed with a carver, and elevated on the points of a large fork, was given by him, and passed from hand to hand a- round the table; and a libation of wine, was at the name of Washington, dashed with the glasses. Such was the origin of societies; certainly as un- necessary here as for the people to rise against themselves, and as absolutely un- adapted for any thing but mischief, as a wolf is by his nature for any thing but to destroy. They are now, like their sister Jacobins in France, purging and wiping themselves clean of one rebellion, and preparing the way for another.
FACTS.
From the Minerva.
To make bad men known is to pro- vide for their punishment and our safety. It will be doing both to bring into view at the present day, some of the incon- sistencies of our disorganizers for some years past. As it will show that they did not believe the old calumnies when they dinn'd them in the ears of the public, it ought to prevent their gain- ing credit for the new ones they will not fail to invent.
Members of Congress, must not be members of the State Legislatures—For said the party writers, no man can serve two masters. There were according to them no end to the mischiefs of having Congress-men in the State Govern- ments; and the country seemed to think it proper to keep them separate. There is scarcely a part of the United States where the doctrine has not been preach- ed, of excluding Congress members from holding any other trust: from being Judges, Sheriffs or even Lawyers, be- cause they might possibly have their minds drawn off in Congress from the public good. They would banish every finister view and all undue bias.
How happens it that the members of Clubs are not thought in reason at least disqualified from seats in Congress. How is it that the party who elpy danger at all times and in every thing else, see none in sending Club-men to make laws? The State Legislators and Congress co-operate it appears very cordially in enforcing the laws.—A man runs a less risk of halting between two opinions who is a member of two legislatures at once, than he who joins a club to publish resolutions and propagate jealousies, suspicions and accusations a- gainst the whole government, and then takes a seat in the legislature of the state or the nation. If the chief magi- strate informs that certain Clubs have had an essential part in fomenting the insurrection, what answer can the Club law-giver consent to make to the infor- mation? Can he say by his vote. This
is all true and thereby disgrace his club or shall he candidly vote in the nega- tive and disgrace himself?—A single vote may happen to decide the point, and in giving it a man is in a dilemma that is no less uncomfortable to himself, than unfavorable to his constituents. He cannot determine whether he shall serve God or Mammon, as he has laid himself under some obligations to both; and the people at large and his im- mediate constituents more especially will be puzzled to know whether he votes as a Clubist or as a Legislator. It makes the oddest jumble of characters the most ridiculously inconsistent with each other that can be imagined. It is beyond the grimace of a patomime, for the same man in one place to be obliged to bluster in favor of the laws and in another framing resolutions that they are the abhorrence of freemen, odious and tyrannical: in the day voting supplies to pay for suppressing resistance, and at midnight writing letters of fraternity and union to the clubs who have out- lawed the officers of government.
What a clatter was made about Con- gress men being Bank-Directors, and how remarkable was the silence on the members of the state legislatures being concerned in state banks. If so much influence was then dreaded, why do not the jealous patriots, as they call them- selves, see club influence? why do not they found the alarm? Is club influ- ence less corrupt, less dark, less ambi- tious and aspiring than any they have her- etofore denounced? What other socie- ties are formed merely to overawe go- vernment; to echo a disorganizing fac- tion in our legislators in every project of confusion, to intrigue for the election of the members of that faction, who in return faithfully support the Club and the measures of the Club after they are chosen. It is influence of the worst kind and of the worst men. It is a speck of rottenness at the core, which the elec- tors will not fail at the next opportu- nity to cut out.
To Citizen BLAIR MCCLENAGHAN, President, and the Members of the De- mocratic Society of Pennsylvania, es- tablished at Philadelphia.
Gentlemen,
PERMIT a fellow-citizen, whose bosom burns in the cause of freedom with an ar- dour almost equal to your own, to approach at this momentous crisis, when the reflect- ing mind is deeply alarmed by the threaten- ed destruction of the patriotic societies, established for the preservation of the li- berties of our country.
Your fellow labourers in the great work of our political salvation, unfortunately, did not reach me until yesterday evening, or I should before this have poured forth my cordial thanks for the provident care which your respectable body manifests for the public good.
I have read your address, gentlemen, to all my neighbours; and they are astonish- ingly pleased with its contents. But, for what I shall presently relate, they were on the point of withdrawing their confidence from their representatives in Congress, and of placing it in you, their better friends.— They were on the point of withholding all thanks & praise for the weary heroes, who have returned from the western waters, and of bestowing them on you, the more worthy volunteers in freedom's cause.
All this, gentlemen, and things more glorious would have happened, had not a meddlesome aristocrat suddenly popped upon me a number of questions, to which I could not for my foul, furnish satisfac- tory answers. Anxious, my dear brother patriots for the preservation of that liberty for which We have so nobly fought and bled, and fully convinced that nothing can so much contribute to this desirable end, as the continuation of your society at the seat of aristocratic villainy, I shall now repeat to you the questions to which I have alluded, hoping, and trusting, that you, as watchmen on the walls of our political Jerusalem, will enable me, your fellow centinel, to serve the cause of democratic liberty, by giving them a full, complete, and irresistible answer. This done, I pledge my honor all will be safe; and the good people of New Jersey, with loud hosannas will hail you * Welcome ye Saviors of your Country.
The questions, my dear frs, as you will perceive, were all framed from fenc- es in your address, and were as follows, viz.
Pray fir, who are the aristocratical fac- tion among us? And what are the prin- ciples which they disseminate, unfriendly to the rights of man?
What combinations and schemes have the rulers of our country formed for the destruction of our liberties?
Which of our temporary rulers have adopted the righteous policy, that the swinish Multitude are unequal to the task of governing themselves; and that public measures are only to be discussed by public characters?
Have any attempts been made to pro- scribe the liberty of the press? If so, point them out; if not, why talk of a "rapacious jaws extended to swallow every vestige of freedom?"
What rights have been snatched from the people without the shadow of reason or of justice? Or, is it possible for human nature to enjoy a greater degree of political liber-
ty than the people of the United States do at this present moment enjoy?
What iniquities of public men and mea- sures have the democratic society of Phi- ladelphia detected and exposed.
What actions and proceedings of the go- vernment are kept secret from the people, and who are the some among us who hold the fashionable tenets that the people ought not to be informed respecting them?
You say, "The will of the people is the law." How is that will to be expressed? By the democratic societies—or by their re- presentatives freely chosen?
Are our rulers the servants of the demo- cratic societies, or the people at large?
I will not, gentlemen, attempt it, for I cannot describe how much these devilish questions puzzled and confounded me—I made out, however, to silence the rascal by reading with a very loud voice, the fol- lowing solemn passage from your address: "In the name of God, to what purpose did we struggle through and maintain a seven years war against a corrupt court, unless to submit to be the hewers of wood and drawers of water at home— for surely foreign domination is not more grievous than domestic." Having fre- quently before baffled the enemies of our liberty by such reasoning, I tried it again, and it again had the desired effect—but, my neighbours are not satisfied. I shall ex- pect your answer as speedily as possible— let that and my letter be published in all your papers, and do not abate in your for the good old cause. I congratulate you gentlemen, on the success of Mr. Swan- wick. I thank you, gentlemen, for open- ly avowing, that you are associated for electioneering purposes—and I heartily wish, gentlemen, that your influence may extend across the Delaware. I have the honour gentlemen, to subscribe myself, Your zealous friend and well wisher,
TIMOTHY TINKER.
New-Jersey, 24th Dec. 1794.
P. S. Whenever you shall have occasion for them, I can in one day, raise troops enough in Jersey, to cope with M c Pherson's blues and Dunlap's squadron of horse, who from their readiness to volunteer it a- gainst my brother Tom and his associates to the swiftest, I suspect to be, one and all of them, of the vile aristocratic party.
Gen. Advertiser.  Aurora? N. B. An answer to the above questions to-morrow.

Camille Desmoulins, who was guilty of no crime but that of attempting to unmask and to suppress this detestable faction."
After reciting a number of other crimes and tyrannical proceedings, the writer says, "What can be expected from such a society! Is it not evident that until the society is thoroughly purged we shall be devoured with anarchy, and it will be impossible to establish the Republic on a durable foundation." So far Freton.
It is a great point gained for the people of France to have learnt one fact; which is that the Jacobin Clubs have produced the popular tyrants and almost all the calamities of France. But there is another truth, they have yet to learn—which is that such clubs will always produce similar tyrannies and public mischief. They seem now to think that by purifying the societies, that is, expelling the tyrants, the leaders, the corrupt members they shall get along well enough—and that the purified or regenerated societies will be guided by motives of public good. This capital error must be exploded, but experience alone will do the work. Experience alone will prove that self-constituted clubs, where private wills are the only rules of action, will ever produce factions—whatever be the origin of them, or however pure the motives of the first associates; they will necessarily degenerate into instruments of intrigue . These clubs in France and in America draw together a great number of the populace, where some artful intriguer employs his flattery and his oratory to seduce a credulous multitude, and in order to secure the people and make them thorough dupes, their leaders take care to keep out of the society every man whose talents, integrity and independence of mind they are afraid of.

Algiers, August 4
BOSTON, Dec. 20.
A fymion highly favorable to the continuation of Peace, is, that the British government has displaced those privileged plunderers, Grey and Jervis. A gentleman in London assures us, that the exchange they have remitted to London, has been attached by order of government.
We are told, that orders have been received at Halifax, not to molest American vessels.
By an arrival from Halifax, we learn that the Schooner Delight, Girdler, of Cape-Ann, on her return from Bourdeaux, was captured by the Lynx British sloop of war, and carried into that port on the 30th November—her fate uncertain on the 9th inst. when our informant failed from thence.
We hear that Messrs. Thomas Dickason and Co. of London, well known to the merchants of this State, on hearing of the late fire in this town, very generously ordered their friend here to pay One Hundred Pounds, L. M. to the proper Committee, for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.
THE SEASON.
By accurate observation, it appears that the aggregate of the degrees of the thermometer, for the first 14 days of Dec. 1793, at Charleston S. C. was 705—and at Salem, the first 14 days of this month 647.
It should seem, from the continued openness and warmth of the weather, that the seasons had got jostled out of their place, or that December had actually been wedded to May.
Since our last, one of our brethren who has been in captivity in Algiers, for 9 years past, arrived in town. He was liberated in consequence of the treaty with the Dutch.
Rural Articles. However it may excite the sardonic grin of the cynic, we always feel happy in recording articles which show the fertility, prosperity, or improvement of our country. We therefore, inform that this season, Mr. Barker, of Cheshire, killed ten hogs, about 20 months old, all from one sow, which weighed 3223 pounds. In one town, in the State of New-Hampshire, where, 20 years since, there was not a white inhabitant, on a late occasion there were given in near 500 qualified votes.
PHILADELPHIA, Decem. 30
Says a Correspondent.
The self-created societies are accused of fomenting a spirit of jealousy and accusation against the constituted authorities. They publish a manifesto to clear themselves from the charge, breathing the very spirit they are accused of fomenting. If any doubt had remained, their defence would have banished it. It is recommended to them to be quiet, to avoid all impudent things in any defence of themselves, to let the public forget the licentiousness of their resolutions, and not to provoke the contempt and detestation in which their conspirators are held. Calm and prosperous times do not favor them. Let them lie in wait till trouble and confusion threaten our affairs. Then they will be brisk and active. Then they will ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm.
The United States and France are struggling with the self-created societies. If both countries should defend themselves from these vipers, Republican Liberty will stand the more secure for the conflict.
A Correspondent enquires whether there was one member of the Democratic Clubs in the army which quelled the insurrection in the Western Counties, who went in the ranks as a private?—Our correspondent has been assured from an authentic source, that they all had offices, such as paymasters, quarter masters-general, brigade majors, aids-de-camp, quarter masters, with their deputies—in short, that the whole staff of the Pennsylvania line, was composed of members of the democratic clubs, or their supporters. This our Correspondent supposes, will explain the assertion in the Doctor's Address, signed Henry Kammerer, when he says—"The Democratic Society of Pennsylvania could have made a quorum in the field." As the loaves and fishes were not thought of by the Democrats, their Disinterested patriotism shall never be forgotten.
The country people have no clubs to carry points, and they universally detest them. They are very right in their views and conduct. For what do such clubs effect? Plainly this, by intrigue and management in the cities to lead the country people by the nose.
The Clubs have every where originated in electioneering intrigues—or if there is any exception as to their origin, there is none as to their use. For all have been used for that end. Such institutions however poison the fountain head of a Republican Government and as long as they continue, our elections will be more and more turbulent and corrupt. Let Clubs be banished and freedom of suffrage restored.
The worst men have the worst means, against a government which for freedom in its theory & purity in its administration, is allowed to have no rival. Yet such men, modestly call themselves The Republicans, as if they were the only Republicans, and yet, they only, oppose the laws, and slander the magistrates. Such inconsistency, and such impudence may pass for Patriotism in the regions of ignorance & credulity—and it is in such benighted parts of the United States, that they have gained influence and credit with the people. In the most enlightened parts and with the most virtuous men, the national constitution and Government have never ceased to be respected and beloved, and never more than at this moment, when the clubs are publishing their ridiculous manifestoes.
CANAL OF LANGUEDOC.
The Canal of Languedoc in France, was begun in 1666, in order to effect an inland communication between the Atlantic, and Mediterranean, and finished in 1682. From the Port of Cette, in the Mediterranean, it crosses the Lake of Thu, and below Thoulouze is conveyed by three sluices into the Garonne. At St. Fereol near Revel, between two rocky hills in the form of a Crescent, is a large reservoir, 7200 feet long, 4000 broad, and 120 deep; the whole surface being 687,438 feet.
Into this basin, the river Laudot, which descends from the hills, is received, and inclosed by a wall 2400 feet long, 132 high, and 24 thick; having a strong dam, secured by a wall of freestone. Under the dam runs an arched passage, reaching to the main wall, where three large cocks of cast brass are turned and shut by means of iron bars; and these cocks discharge the water thro' mouths as large as a man's body, into an arched aqueduct, where it runs through the outer wall, and when got beyond it, goes under the name of the river Laudot, continuing its course to the Canal, called Rigole de la Plaine. Thence it is conveyed to another fine reservoir near Nauouse, 1200 feet long, and 900 wide, and 7 deep; and out of this basin it is conveyed, by sluices, both to the Mediterranean, and the ocean, as the Canal requires it. Though the cocks remain open for some months successively, yet there is no visible diminution of the water in the great reservoir. Near Beziers are eight sluices, which form a regular and grand cascade, 936 feet long, and 66 high, by means of which vessels may pass cross the river Orb, and continue their voyage on the Canal. Above it, between Beziers and Gapellan, is the Mal-Pas, where the Canal is conveyed for the length of 720 feet, under a mountain cut into a very lofty arcade, the greatest part of which is lined with freestone, except towards the end; where it is only hewn through the rock, which is of a soft sulphureous substance. At Agde is a round sluice, with three openings, three different depths of the water meeting there, and the gates are so ingeniously contrived, that vessels may pass through by opening which sluice the master pleases; an invention that struck the great Vauban himself with admiration. This Canal cost something more than half a million sterling, part of which money was furnished by the King, [Louis XIV] and part by the states of Languedoc. The King generous by grant to Riquet the inventor and conductor, and his male heirs, all the jurisdiction and revenues belonging to it; so that the Crown could not come into possession, till the extinction of that line. The annual income is stated to be £94,500 sterling, from which, deducting the current expenses and repairs, the annual net profits are upwards of £24,000 sterling. The length of this Canal from Toulouze to Beziers, where it joins the river Orb, is 152 miles. "The system of inland navigation" says Mr. Swinburne, "has been to much improved of late years, that I make no doubt but this Canal would be shortened many leagues were it to be undertaken afresh. It is full of angles and turns that do not appear necessary; and, on the contrary, in one or two places, has been driven straight, at an enormous expense, through numberless obstacles when a short sweep would have conveyed the waters, with greater ease, and less expense, to the place of their destination. There are 15 locks upon it in the fall toward the ocean, and 45 on the side of the Mediterranean. The highest point between the two seas is at Nauroge, which is elevated more than 200 yards above the level of each shore. The Canal is carried over 37 aqueducts, and crossed by eight bridges.
the very day before his departure, came in a brig, that five days before he made land, parted with the fleet having ten regiments on board; to reinforce the West India army.
"From St. Thomas's, we have a report, that a division of Lord's Howe's fleet had fallen in with a French squadron, and taken or sunk 7 sail of the line and 15 frigates."
Extract of another letter from Turk's Island, December 1.
"An American brig, to day from Martinique, brings information, that four ships of the line had arrived there without any troops, and had proceeded for Guadalupe. General Vaughan was on board, and was to command the reinforcement of land forces, hourly expected from Gibraltar."
"A brig in nine days from Barbadoes, arrived just now; the master says that the day before he failed, a packet and a brig in 22 days from England arrived. He did not learn what news they bro't, but from the rejoicing on shore, the evening after he left the harbour, he supposed they brought agreeable intelligence."
"The brig he understood, had five days before he made the land, parted with the fleet having on board ten thousand troops."
"Since the four ships arrived at Guadalupe, we are informed, that a number of the republicans of all colours had come in and surrendered themselves."
"There were at Guadalupe ten sail of the line."
"The Cygnet a brig mounting 18 guns, and 150 men, fitted out at Charleston, under a French commission, with another privateer brig of 14 guns, were lately captured by a Spanish frigate and carried into the Havanna."

SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 16.
While it is considered by American citizens as a benefit, to be served in their offices of the highest importance,
by men of uncommon talents, of clear heads, and pure hearts. Mr. Hamilton's relinquishment of the arduous duty of Secretary of the Treasury, will be deemed an inestimable loss to our Republic—his abilities have never been disputed even by his most implacable enemies; their persecutions have produced the most incontestable evidence of his integrity, and have served to disclose truths greatly to his honor and reputation, and to the extension of his fame.
BRIDGE-TOWN, (Bar.) Oct. 28.
We insert the following extract from a journal of a voyage to Guadalupe, kept by a Captain William Hefs, of the sloop Sally, and published in a late American paper, as a specimen of Republican intemerity; leaving our readers to determine whether, had Mr. Hefs acted in the manner he relates, Capt. Rofs, would, or not, have turned him over to his Boatwain's Mate to teach him better manners, who, by the help of his Cat of nine tails, would soon have out-striped his thirteen tri-coloured flag. [Here follows Captain Hefs's Journal.]
November 25.
By late accounts from America, we learn, that Admiral Murray having lately paid a visit to New-York with the most friendly intentions, received from the populace of that city such an abusive and illiberal reception as not even their Republican manners can justify. On his approach in his barge he was peremptorily commanded to return, and threatened to be instantly murdered if he went on shore; he however, disregarding them, desired his barge-men to proceed to the pier, where he landed, and in despite of their hisses, threats and menaces, walked the streets of the town until evening, when he returned to his boat, her crew receiving him with three cheers, and was safely conducted to his ship, then laying at the Hook. He the next day moored his vessel opposite the town, which so disconcerted and terrified the inhabitants, that there is not a Jack tar in the ship but may now venture on shore and be heartily welcomed.
Says a Correspondent.
The present is certainly a time of plenty, and it is recommended to the Clubs, if they like variety, to collect and bind up for a future day of sober thought the President's Speech, the address of the French Convention, the Jacobiniad from the Boston Orrery, and the excellent sermon, of the Rev. Mr. Osgood of Massachusetts. If they really desire information, the Clubs would act consistently as well as honestly, to pay for a new Edition of the latter, and cause the Copies to be dispersed among their own members, and those whom they have deluded and misled, by reading that thanksgiving sermon, with the attention due to its sound good sense, they would mend their principles, and extend their political knowledge.
The self-created societies profess to seek information, they cannot satisfy their patriotic hunger with such food as other citizens, for want of knowing better, are content with, and therefore every club is supposed to lay up public stores or magazines of knowledge, from which every member may draw his rations. Thus Pharaoh in the seven years of plenty, laid up stores for the seven years of famine.

1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents.
[The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review , April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is entitled to our interest, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the innocence of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for an error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

5. History of the French Revolution , from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whenever it was the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tory nor republican—They love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the cloud of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold, or at all events on Monday, the 22nd of December next: The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The drawing will be under the management of 24 gentlemen approved by the commissioners for the City of Washington, for the time being, and acting on oath.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation
OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of
The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable Elucidations of the Scripture: Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work.
IT has been matter of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labours of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient mannerisms, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophers, in all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man.
This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS.
It is supposed the whole will be comprised in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense.
The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be required. And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid.
The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent.  Dec. 13. 22w 4w

Lundin M'Kechnie, Taylor, Stay Corset & Habit Maker,
No. 26. Chestnut Street, between Second & Third Streets.
RETURNS his most grateful thanks to those who have honored him with their employment, and begs leave to assure them, that from his extensive correspondence in London, he will at all times have it in his power to furnish them with every article in his profession in the newest fashion and of the best quality; and for the better accommodation of his customers, he has taken into partnership in the Taylor and Habit making Business, John Sloane from London.
N. B. He makes the famous Patent Stay for the Apoplectic Spinalis Extenders, in the use of which he has been very successful in curing distortions in Young People, and has never failed to cure when applications were made in due time, and now begs leave to present to the public a proof of the happy effects.
In September last, James Dodds, late of Britain, applied to me respecting one of his children (a child two years and an half old) who had three of the lower vertebrae of her spine distorted, was very weak, her body bending, could not be moved without pain, had no use of her lower limbs, and one of which seemed contracting, and had no ease but in a lying posture. The parents informed me that the child had been for five or six months, and could account for it no other way than a weakness brought on by the whooping-cough, previous to which the child had been active & healthy.
Upon the 8th of September I fitted the child with a pair of patent stays and an apparatus Spinalis Extenders; in a few days she seemed perfectly easy, could sit upright and be carried about without complaining. The distortion is now scarcely perceptible; the child can stand or sit upright, and walk with a little assistance. This is effected by the mother of the child who has remained since in the city for the benefit of my attendance, the father having gone to the country.
The above is a just state of my child's case. BETTY DODDS
N. B. The Editor of this Gazette has a child under the care of Mr. M'Kechnie, who has worn the stays and apparatus for some time; the result was so alarming, but the prospect of relief is not a final cure, is very flattering.
