ON PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS.
MR. PRINTER,
IN this astonishingly improving city, scarcely yet arrived at one seventeenth the age of London, or many other large cities in Europe, it is remarkable how fertile human invention has been in the contrivance of public amusements, intended to dispel the gloom of the thoughtful, exercise the lively activity of the young and gay, or relax the minds of the Sedentary and industrious Tradesmen.
Amongst these the Stage has been introduced with uncommon success and indeed with a greater degree of refinement, than in any other part of the world; nor can the most rigid opposer of innovations on the purity of the morals of the American Character pretend to say, that there is any thing inherently evil in any public exhibition hitherto authorised in Philadelphia, although it is not attempted to be denied that they may sometimes be made subservient to licentiousness of manners; but where is the institution that is not liable to similar objections? have not the Pulpit, the Throne, the Bench, and the Senate, [although each of them were perhaps necessary at different Eras to the welfare of society,] been converted into intriguing Cabals, blasphemous persecutions or unrighteous decisions? nay have we not recent instances of the most simple combinations, even private clubs and associations, being tampered with, and made only the instruments of a few designing usurpers? Under this impression, how can it be expected that the Stage would be exempt from the same natural consequences attendant on other public institutions?
For my part Mr. Printer I frequent the Theatre, the Circus and many places of amusement, with no other intention than to be entertained, and they never have operated any corruption in my morals—A corruption of the heart, must proceed from a very different origin: Vicious habits are too often inoculated into the human composition at a much earlier period in life, than that wherein the Stage becomes an example; and then, it is the object of every exhibition to mend the heart, and by shewing "Vice his own Image," to bring it back to repentance.
But whilst I am advocating the Theatre, let me not fall into so great a partiality as to entirely omit the pleasure I have frequently received from seeing Mr. Ricketts performing in the Circus. This is surely a species of amusement that may be altogether exempt from the censure even of the illiberal. Here we see crowds of our fellow-citizens assembled to enjoy an hour in the fresh air, and to take an agreeable promenade. Here we behold the fairest part of the creation interpersed with their friends and admirers, enjoying in the most innocent manner the pleasure of the scene and every one appearing highly delighted with the wonderful exertions of the performers.—With respect to Mr. Ricketts, it has generally been allowed that he is the most graceful, neat, and active master of Horsemanship that has ever appeared on this continent, or indeed I may say in any part of the World, for we know that he has performed feats never attempted by any other person in Europe—One of these is his leap over ten horses , which is taken notice of in the Edinburgh Newpapers, whilst he was there in 1792, and which I hope he means to bring forward in the Circus in Philadelphia, as he has certainly met with great encouragement, and ought therefore to exhibit all his best exercises before he leaves us—I recollect he leaped over Six Horses here, but still if he is capable of doing the same feat as is mentioned in the Edinburgh prints, it is but natural to expect it from him here, and now that the weather is tolerably fine, he is in duty bound to please the public as far as his power extends during the time he may remain here this season.
It is not my intention to injure Mr. Ricketts's feelings by these remarks, on the contrary I would recommend to him to begin his Performance for the next week, at ELEVEN O'CLOCK, which will afford an opportunity to his patrons of spending an hour at the Circus previous to the usual time of going to hear the debates of Congress, a quorum of that body being seldom formed before noon, and by that time the Performance at the Circus will be nearly finished.
Thus already in this infant Country the City of Philadelphia may with propriety be said to have arrived to a degree of civilization unknown in every other part of the world, for at about
the same age many of the now great capitals of the Old World were in a state of actual barbarism, whilst here in the New World, we so quickly naturalized and encouraged all the fine arts, that we can justly boast of having some of the first * Performers that ever graced the Drama on the American Stage;—and one of the best Equestrians, that ever appeared, in the Circus.
JUVENIS.
* It is no reflection on any of the Companys to say that Mrs. Whitlock is one of the first Performers in the World—indeed I am of opinion she is a better general Actress than Mrs. Siddons, who is only famous for a few Characters, whereas Mrs. Whitlock is great in a vast variety.
The Reader will perceive that the following is an amended Statement of the American Minister's ADDRESS to the National Convention.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
29th Thermidor.
A discussion on the Constituting of various Committees was interrupted by the introduction of the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, JAMES MONROE.
Not being familiarly acquainted with the use of the French language, he asked that one of the Secretaries would be good enough to read the translation of his discourse, which was as follows:
Citizen President, and Representatives of the French People,
My admission into this Assembly, and into the presence of the French Nation (for all citizens of France are here represented) in order to be received as the Representative of the American Republic, affects my sensibility in a manner that I cannot explain. I consider it as a new proof of the friendship and esteem which the French nation has always testified towards its allies the United States of America.
Republics ought to draw nearer towards each other. In many points of view they have the same interests, but a maximum so generally true, is particularly so with respect to the French and American Commonwealths. Their governments have much analogy to each other. They both cherish like principles, and repose on a similar basis, to wit, the unalienable and equal rights of Man. The remembrance even of common dangers can but augment their harmony, and cement their union.—America has had her days of oppression—of difficulty, and war; but her sons were brave and virtuous, and the storm which so long obscured her political horizon, is dissipated, and hath left her in the full enjoyment of peace, liberty, and of independence.
France, our ally and our friend, who assisted us in our struggle, is now launched into the same honorable career, and I am happy to be able to add, that whilst the perseverance, the magnanimity, and heroic valor of her troops command the admiration and applause of an astonished world, the wisdom and the firmness of her councils equally promise the most fortunate success. America is not an insensible spectator of your efforts in the present crisis—I lay before you, in the declarations of each branch of our government, declarations founded on the affections of the mass of our citizens, the most convincing proof of their sincere attachment for the liberty, prosperity, and happiness of the French Republic. Every member of Congress, according to the mode of deliberation established in that body, hath desired the President to inform you of these sentiments and in fulfilling the desire of the two houses, I am instructed, by the President, to add, that they also express his own feelings.
The powers confided to me, being recognized by you—I promise myself the greatest satisfaction in the exercise of my functions, as I am intimately persuaded, that in obeying the impulses of my own heart, and in forming the warmest wishes for the liberty and happiness of the French nation, I shall best explain the wishes and sentiments of my country, and doing every thing in my power to preserve and perpetuate the good harmony existing between the two Republics, I shall render the best service to them both.
Towards this object all my efforts shall be directed. If I am fortunate enough to merit the approbation of the two Republics, I shall regard it as the happiest event of my life, and I shall afterwards, retire with the conscious pleasure of having shared feelings with those whose intentions are upright, and who serve the cause of liberty.
The loud and universal applause which had accompanied the Minister at his entrance, frequently interrupted his discourse.
The Secretary then read his Letter of Credence, whereupon the President of the National Convention, made the following answer:
The French people have not forgotten that it is to the American people they owe their initiation into the cause of liberty, it was in admiring the sublime insurrection of the American people against Albion once so haughty but now so humbled, it was in taking themselves arms to second your courageous efforts, and in cementing your independence by the blood of our bravest warriors, that the French people learned in their turn to break the sceptre of tyranny, and to elevate the statue of liber-
ty on the wreck of a throne supported during fourteen centuries only by crimes and by corruption.
How then should it happen that we should not be friends? Why should we not associate the mutual means of prosperity that our commerce and navigation offers to two people freed by each other? But it is not merely a diplomatic alliance. It is the sweetest fraternity, and the most frank at the same time that must unite us, this it is that indeed unites us; and this union shall be forever indissoluble, as it will be forever the dread of tyrants, the safeguard of the liberty of the world, and the preserver of all the social and philanthropic virtues.
In bringing to us citizens the pledge of this union so dear to us, then could it not fail to be received with the liveliest emotions. It is now five years since an usurper of the sovereignty of the people would have received thee with the pride which belongs alone to vice; and he had thought it much to have given to the minister of a free people some tokens of an insolent protection. But to day the sovereign people themselves by the organ of their faithful representatives receive thee; and thou seest the tenderness, the effusion of soul that accompanies this simple and touching ceremony. I am impatient to crown thee with the fraternal embrace which I am ordered to give thee in the name of the French people. Come and receive it in name of the American people, and let this spectacle compleat the annihilation of the last hopes of an impious coalition of tyrants.
The minister then advanced and mounted up to the President's chair, where he received the embrace in the midst of the loudest and most reiterated plaudits; after which he took his seat among the representatives.
The Convention then declared its recognition of the minister to the French Republic. The speeches pronounced on the occasion were ordered to be translated into all languages: And the American colours were suspended from the roof of the hall of liberty along with those of the French, in testimony of the intimate union of the two people.
Imagination cannot do sufficient justice to this majestic scene, so touching, affecting, and penetrating to every spectator. The hall was full as it could hold; the minister himself being most deeply impressed.

FROM PARIS PAPERS.
ANECDOSE
of Coffinal ex President of the Revolutionary Tribunal at Paris.
When Coffinal presided, he generally confounded the accused in words like the following, pronounced with a thundering voice:— Thy name?—Enough, get thee gone. He often ridiculed the accused, made abusive remarks on his figure, insulted him on account of his countenance, and judged him in the same moment.
When he tried a prisoner, who, intimidated by his blustering interrogatories, or rather struck with terror, appeared to be disconcerted— There, said he, you may see the conscientiousness of guilt.
If the accused betrayed some firmness in his answers: what a boldness! exclaimed he, see the audacity of crime. Did the accused insist to justify himself— tu n'as pas la parole —it is not thy turn to speak.
A fencing master being once on the fatal list, Coffinal, after having sentenced him to death, cried out, there parry that— parez donc celle la. When this villain, Coffinal, was carried to the scaffold, where he had sent so many innocent victims, the populace resenting his former cruelty, cried out wherever he passed— tu n'as pas la parole—parez donc celle la.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
August 14.
The refugees of Poland felicitate the Convention on the late triumphs of liberty.
The President answers: Machiavellism produces alternately alliances and divisions among tyrants; fraternity unites all free nations together, and their union is everlasting like virtue, which constitutes its basis.
Freemen of Poland! it will be sufficient to tell you, that you will ever find as many brothers in France, as there are friends of liberty.
Tell your fellow-citizens, that the French nation observe with the most lively interest, their struggle for liberty—that it applauds their generous audacity—that it receives every intelligence of their successes, with an agreeable sensation, but tell them at the same time, that feeble measures are often productive of irreparable disasters in great revolutions; tell them, that even a King in fetters always threatens liberty; that tygers and leopards are not to be tamed, and that, whoever spares them is an enemy to mankind; tell them before all, that nothing but a representation can conduct them safe into port, and that if they do not make haste to form
one, they will only change their master, instead of conquering liberty.
Honorable mention of this address, ordered to be inserted in the bulletin, as also the President's answer to it.
Barras read several important pieces, relative to the conspiracy happily frustrated on the 27th July.
He related among other facts, that Robespierre had chosen Monseaux,* Couthon, Bagatelle,* and St. Just, Le Rinci,* for their country seats.
* Three magnificent chateaux near Paris.
DUBLIN, Aug. 23.
The people of France act upon principles of which they never lose sight—parties may destroy, each other, and when they have done, things continue in the same state with only the loss of so many busy men to the Republic.—The charge of the accuser and the defence of the impeached, it is to be observed invariably turn upon the same point, a regard to liberty and equality, which unerringly points out the national passion from the pains which are taken to flatter it.
Any measure hostile to this passion would soon attract the attention of the enlightened mob of Paris—And the Convention, instead of voting law, will vote its own doom. Hence it is evident that we can have nothing to expect from the exaltation or the downfall of this man or that—of one faction or another.
We have system and principles to contend against—not persons. We see the fixed desperation of France—and have reason to fear that if the perishes in the conflict, her fall will resemble that of Sampson, by involving all those near her in the same destruction.
UNITED STATES.
ELIZABETH-TOWN (M.) Oct 21
We are credibly informed that the insurgents of the West are panic-struck—some of the principals gone down the Ohio to the Spaniards—That Wm. Findley and David Redick, Esqrs. were sent by the mass of the people to assure the President of their submission to all laws and endeavour to dissuade him from prosecuting the march—that they met the President at Shippensburg and had an audience with him—but as they could urge no assurance other than their bare opinion, the mission had no effect—the President persevering in his determination to punish the guilty and protect the innocent.
PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER 1.
By the proceedings of the National Convention of France, of the 17th, 18th, and 12th Thermidor, it appears that the decree of accusation against the commissaries Sonthonax and Polverel has been suspended—and those commissaries set at liberty, after which they went to Paris.
A member demanded that the colonists should be liberated who were decreed in a state of accusation on the 19th Ventose. This was opposed by Bourdon, who observed that the measure would be contrary to the views of the Assembly, who meant to render justice to all the oppressed patriots, and out to enlarge the Aristocrats.—He said the motion would go to release Page and Brule, who ought to be held to answer to confront Polverel and Sonthonax.
A member complained of the manner in which some Journalists had published his opinion on the detained colonists.
His complaint was received with the cries of "Liberty of the Press," too long stifled by a faction which meant to annihilate it.
The Chevalier De Freire, was on Thursday presented by the Secretary of State, to the President, as Minister Resident of Her Most Faithful Majesty, to the United States of America, and was received as such.
We also hear, that Madam De Freire was yesterday introduced to the President and Mrs. Washington.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Neptune, in 15 days from Charleston, by which we learn, that William Smith, Esquire, was on the 14th ult. re-elected Representative of the District of Charleston, in the House of Representatives of the United States.
OLD THEATRE.
Mr. Hallam Jun. we understand, at length makes his appearance, in the part

of Belcour on the Philadelphia Stage a recollection of the upright character his Father has for years sustained, can give a double claim to success he may expect it:—we congratulate the pub- lic on the interesting spectacle of a Father and Son meeting in two char- acters so opposite as Belcour and Rockwell.
DIED, on Sunday the 26th of Oc- tober, Doctor John Carson, professor of Chemistry in the University of Penn- sylvania, a skillful physician and sur- geon and an honest man. In him his family has lost an affectionate husband and ten- der parent, society a useful member and his profession an ornament.
The drawing of the lottery pub- lished by the Directors of the "Society for establishing useful Manufactures"— is postponed to the first Monday in May next.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
A letter to the Committee of Pub- lic Safety, from the Representatives of the People in the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees, dated 15th Thermidor, (2d August) has this passage—
"When you communicate to the Convention this new trait of atrocity unknown even to nations less civilized, tell them that the conquerors of the Eastern Pyrenees at their post; that the army who dictated the terms of the capitulation of Collioure, are deter- mined to avenge its infraction. The bar- barians! They violate those engage- ments the more sacred, because they restrained the French, who never ceas- ed to harrafs and overwhelm them in hu- miliation. The bayonets of the Re- public shall point the way towards those miserable victims of the most infamous injury."
"The slaves by heaps shall expire un- der our blows. A thousand of their vil- lages shall be a prey to the devouring flames, while we shall go with fury in quest of our brothers. The commissioners proceed to declare, that they will fire at Spanish flags of truce, and convert the kingdom of Spain itself into an immense desert."
Some time ago, 7000 Spanish troops were taken prisoners at Collioure. They were permitted to go off on con- dition that an equal number of French- men should be exchanged for them. The king of Spain disavowed the a- greement; and this step has produced these menaces on the part of the French.
By this Day's Mail.
WINCHESTER, October 27.
A gentleman immediately from Ken- tucky, informs, that General Wayne has erected a Fort a few paces from that occupied by the British at the Foot of the Rapids of the Miami of the Lakes.
The account of General Scott having defeated the Indians, as mentioned in our last, he says, is unfounded.
Further particulars of the burning of Nickajack and Running-Water, In- dian towns.
On the 7th of September a party of militia, consisting of five hundred and fifty men, commanded by Major Ore, marched from Nashville, by order of General Robertson, and on the 13th destroyed Nickajack and Running-Wa- ter, two of the most hostile of the Low- er Cherokee towns, situated on the south branch of the Tennessee; killed forty five warriors, and took nine prisoners, squaws and children. In the towns were found two fresh scalps, taken at Cumberland, and several that were dry hung up as trophies of war. Many ar- ticles of property, which were known by some one or other of the militia to have been taken when the proprietors were killed by Indians, in the course of the last twelve months, amongst which were a number of letters taken when the Kentucky mail was robbed and the rider killed. These two towns were principal crossing places for the Creeks over the Tennessee for war against Cum- berland and Kentucky, in which they, with the warriors of Look-out Moun- tain and Will's towns, have heartily co- operated for years past, boasting in their perfect security, from their situation, surrounded with mountains on three sides, the Tennessee on the north, and their number of warriors.
The prisoners taken gave informa- tion, that there were sixty warriors, Creeks and Cherokees, then out for war against the United States, who passed thro Nickajack nine days ago—that two nights before the destruction of the Run- ning Water, a scalp dance was held in it; at which were present the Bloody Fellow, John Watts, and the other Chiefs of the Lower Towns; at which
they had determined to continue on the war in conjunction with the Creeks with more activity than heretofore a- gainst the frontiers. In Nickajack was found a quantity of powder and lead, just received from the Spanish govern- ment, and a commission to Breath, the chief of that town, who was killed. The militia had three men wounded.
Major Ore appears to have conducted this enterprise with great address, bra- very and humanity.
The Hanging Maw, upon hearing the above account, at Tellico Block house, observed, "He hoped the Low- er Towns would now open their ears and listen to the Peace Talks of the United States."
ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 25.
(A Gentleman immediately from Ken- tucky, communicated the following.)
"Mr. Printer—On the 1st Sept. one Whitley, with 250 volunteers from Kentucky, marched against the south- ern Indians living on the Tennessee river, after being joined by a party from Cum- berland and Clinch, amounting to 230, and attacked one of the Cherokee and Chicamaw towns, killed 54, and took 23 prisoners—on the part of the whites 9 wounded, 3 supposed mortal. This may be relied on, as I had it from Col. Whitley himself, and saw the prisoners he had taken."
NEW-YORK, Oct. 30.
Revolution in France.
There was one effect which flowed from the decree rendering the Mem- bers of the Constituent Assembly ineli- gible to a seat in the next Assembly— which, probably was not foreseen, but which will render it difficult hereafter to keep the French people in due sub- ordination to law. This was the dis- credit thrown upon Age and Talents , by suddenly exalting a set of Young Men into the seats of legislation.
The Constituent Assembly contain- ed many men whose judgments were matured by experience and age; and who had not totally rejected the wisdom of other nations and former times.
Some characters of this description were found in the succeeding Assemblies; but in the latter, a great proportion of the real talents were rather brilliant, than solid; rather the result of meta- physical systems that captivated the im- agination, than of substantial know- ledge, acquired in the world and by actual experiment.
To this description of vain specula- tors in theory, France must ascribe ma- ny hasty measures which a short expe- rience taught these fanciful legislators to rescind; and these idle attempts to change the habits and opinions of a na- tion in a moment, by a legislative decree, have exposed the last Con- vention to the jeers of their enemies.
Thus when Dumourier was carrying his victories thro the Netherlands, the National Assembly, elated with joy, suddenly embraced the resolution, of giving liberty to the surrounding na- tions.
In the fervor of their zeal, and doubt- less with pure motives, as they thought, they instantly passed the decree of Nov. 19, 1792, for fraternizing the Belgi- ans. A little reflection taught them, what they might have easily known at first, that they should have first learned whether the Belgians wished to be fra- ternized, and that it might be difficult to convert men into allies and republicans , by a decree on paper. They found also that this rash resolution alarmed all the surrounding nations, and would bring them into trouble; as it actually did; they therefore repealed it.
Just so Danton and Hebert, inflated with modern philosophy, which rejects an intelligent God from its creed, thought it would be a mighty thing im- provement, and a glorious thing, in these regenerating times, to extirpate, not only the Christian Religion, but theism also, they therefore attempted to banish God from Frenchmen's belief, as the creature of fanaticism, and estab- lish atheism by law. The beardless philosophers in that nation ought to have been ashamed, to undertake the task of eradicating the prejudices and opinions of a nation by law or force. French liberty and inexperience alone were capable of such folly; but the at- tempt was made, and soon proved the weakness of its authors. Robespierre was the first to discover the impossibility of such a thing, and wishing to get rid of Hebert and Danton, he, with master- ly address, changed his efforts; and falling in with opinions which he could not extirpate, charged Hebert and Dan- ton with the blasphemy of attempting to reject a God from the national belief. The artifice succeeded; his rivals fell; and then, in a fit of patriotic de- votion, Robespierre brings forward his
decree for establishing the belief of the one Supreme and the Virtues . This pro- ject was admirable. Robespierre was as much of an Atheist as Hebert; but he found his system would not go down with the multitude; he then tacked about and formed a scheme to establish Atheism under the name of One Supreme or Eternal . With this sort of God and a dozen inferior deities, and each a fes- tival annually, a kind of pompous frolic; the stratagem succeeded, and all Paris sings the praises of this unknown Some- thing.
These are only samples of the weak the rash, and the absurd measures, which have marked every step of the proceedings of the two last Assemblies, measures that never could have been passed by an Assembly of old, experienced States- men.

HARRISBURGH, October 27.
On Sunday se'nnight arrived in this town; the last draft of militia, from the state of New-Jersey, under the command of Col. Crane, consisting of 300 foot and cavalry.
One day last week a man by the name of James Harvey, in a fit of intoxication and madness put an end to his life, by first cutting his throat, (which pro- ving not effectual to his abominable de- sign) and afterwards dashed out his brains against a wall.
Doctor Andrew Forrest, of this town, is appointed Register of Wills and Recorder of Deeds, for this county in place of Joseph Montgomery, Esq. deceased.
Died—in this town on Sunday, 19th inst. after a short illness, Mrs. Mary Graydon, the amiable comfort of Alex- ander Graydon esq. A lady greatly beloved for her many virtues, and whose loss is sincerely lamented by all, who had the honor of her acquaintance.
Situation of the Armies of the Republic the 9th August.
The army of the North occupied all Belgia, and had driven their enemies beyond L'Escat. Valenciennes, Conde, and Quesnoy, were not yet in the power of the Republic, but they could not avoid bearing the yoke incessantly, since the ar- my was 30 leagues beyond. Since the ter- rible decree of death for the English and Hanoverians, the generals of this army complained of the difficulty of joining them, flying immediately at the approach of the Republicans.
The army of the Sambre and the Meuse had beat & pursued Cobourg as far as Ma- ericht.
The army of the Rhine had attacked under all points the Prussians. Every where the Republicans notwithstanding a strong resistance had the advantage. The effect of it was the invasion of the Pa- tinate at the time they were gathering their crop.
The Army of the Alps always ob- tained the advantage, in a very difficult country, and where the obstacles of na- ture are almost insurmountable.
The Army of the Eastern Pyrenees advanced into Catalonia, and had left behind it Bellegarde well blocked up, which they intended to retake without doing damage to the place or fortifica- tions by a too hasty attack.
The Army of the Western Pyrenees had taken possession of the Valley of Bastar, containing 16 villages.—It had taken Fontarabia, where they found 208 pieces of cannon, and made 2000 prisoners. This army in advancing af- terwards had taken the Passage, an ad- vantageous position near the sea, and St. Sebastian.
The Naval Army had gone into Brest and ready to sail. Many divisions of Frigates and Corvettes were cruising and made many prizes. The ships des- tined for transporting the troops to England were gone from Bourdeaux to Brest, the place of rendezvous. These ships are only to the number of 90 or 100.
The brigands of La Vendee were totally destroyed, except a band of them, called Chat-huants, because they went out only in the night—it was more difficult to meet them than to fight and destroy them. Nor. Pap.

Account of places situated in the present seat of war in Europe.
NAMUR—Capital of the Province so called, situated in a valley at the conflu- ence of the Meuse and Sambre; it was taken by King William in 1692, after a memorable siege; again by the French in 1746, after having been reduced to a heap of ruins. Since the Peace of Aix la Chapelle, the fortifications have been demolished, except the Citadel, which was taken by Gen. Valence in December 1792—24 leagues E, from Valenciennes—30 S. S. W. from Zenlo —and 74 north from Paris.
LIEGE—Capital of the Bishoprick of that name, is a large populous and rich City, situated on the Meuse. It was taken by the Duke of Marlborough in 1702—it has 16 gates and 17 bridges— Dumourier, made himself master of Liege the 22d November, 1772, but in March following the French were com- pelled to retire, and were driven out of Liege and Brabant—47 leagues East from Bruges—45 S. from Maestricht— 13 E. N. E. from Namur, 37 S. from Zutphen, and 88 N. N. E. from Paris.
Bergen op Zoom—A maritime town of Dutch Brabant on the river Zoom, and at its union with the Scheldt. It is one of the strongest places belonging to the Dutch, having been regularly forti- fied, and deemed nearly impregnable. It was however taken by storm in 1746 by the famous count Lowendahl—25 leagues S. from Amsterdam, 6. S. from William- stadt and 87 N. from Paris.
SONNET,
written in Winter, by Mrs. MARRIOTT. The howling north wind o'er the moun- tain flies, And fleecy snow, enrobes the leafless grove; No more mild Zephyr to the rose-bud sighs; Sweet birds have ceased their tuneful hymns of love. The ivy twining round yon moss grown cell, It's lonely green, how solitary gay, Where the melodious red-breast loves to dwell, And give the lurid storm its pensive lay! Come sweet contentment with thy smile serene Point out the beauties of the frost fring- ed grove Dispel each swelling tear each woe ter- rene And harmonize my soul to joy and love, Angelic nymph who on thy azure wing Celestial peace of mind dost ever bring!
