These machines are made on a simple and improved plan for copying, writing, &c. of any size, in an expeditious manner, and are charged at a much less price than any other now in use. They are found to possess a superiority over others, both by being more durable, and not so liable to get out of repair, and by copying any number of writings at one time, without making any alteration in the machine, and their occupying little room. The very general use into which these machines are now brought in use in London and other large trading cities, and the satisfaction reflected by all who possess them, render it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantages, both in point of accuracy and secrecy and in the saving of time, labour and expense.

PHILADELPHIA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26.
In one of our London papers we find the following interesting report of the Trial of two men charged with Illuminatism.
IMPORTANT TRIAL.
AYR CIRCUIT COURT.
ILLUMINATI.
Wednesday, September 17.
(Concluded from our last.)
Evidence in Exculpation.
John M'Clure, jun. in Kirkland Hill—said he was a member of the Royal Arch Lodge, Maybole; was admitted a Knight Templar along with Quintin Stewart, and took the oath, which was "to conceal the secrets of the Knights Templars, treason & murder only excepted." John Andrew administered the oath. There was no political conversation in the meetings of the Knights Templars. Wm. Hamilton was under lodge scandal of having a child in adultery, and left the lodge after that. Gave an account of the ceremonies of admission; does not remember of a pistol being fired at his admission, or any pistol fired that night; and nothing was said about putting him to death; saw a bath and a candle burning in it; was desired to look, and see the candle burning; and the bath not consumed; some piece of scripture was read, viz. the third chapter of Exodus: was led round the room—and after that the obligation was taken.
Questioned by the Court.—Was any thing done after he was led round the room?—Ans. A human skull was discovered, and all Knights Templars were to drink out of it. He put it to his lips. He was dubbed in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. John M'Clure, Schoolmaster at Craigen-croy. Said he is a Knight Templar; was made in Maybole, along with seven more, was present at Quintin Stewart's admission. The witness took an oath; remembers little of the obligation in it, and cannot repeat it. Murder and treason were excepted in it, the same as in the Master Masons oath, that is to conceal the Master Masons secrets, murder and treason excepted, and that he supposed himself at liberty to reveal murder and treason. He did not think the ceremonies had a tendency to ridicule religion, as the observations were such as a good Christian might make; and he heard nothing hostile to religion or government.
Crops questioned.—Said he was a Royal Arch Captain and High Priest.
GILBERT WILSON, Sadler, Maybole, said he was admitted a Knight Templar at Maybole, about three or four years ago. William Hamilton was also admitted, and the witness was present at his admission. The Knights are bound by an oath, but does not remember the words of it. He was bound to conceal a great many things, "treason and murder only excepted." The same oath was given to Hamilton, and he never heard any difference in the oath. Various ceremonies were practiced, but he cannot give an account of them.
Questioned by the Court.—Said he does not recollect he was dubbed in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Crops Questioned.—Said he was Treasurer of the Lodge.
Many other Witnesses corroborated these facts.
Mr. Oswald rose and addressed the Jury on the part of the prosecution; after making some judicious remarks on the nature of sedition, he next adverted to the proceedings and ceremonies which had taken place as proved by the evidence which had been adduced; these he considered had a tendency to ridicule religion, and as the Jury had the facts before them, they could therefore well form their conclusions on their import, & as religion is protected by the law, and is a part of the common law, therefore the ridiculing of it is an offence, for which a verdict must be returned against the pannels, if the Jury are satisfied that they have been guilty of it. These and many other observations. Mr. Oswald stated with great force of reasoning.
Mr. Clerk, Counsel for the Pannels rose in reply. He said, he considered this case as a very extraordinary one, as near five years had elapsed since the facts charged were said to have been carried on, and the prosecution had originated in a dispute which took place between two Mason Lodges in Maybole.
Lord Justice Clerk summed up the whole evidence with great perspicuity and candor. His Lordship observed, that he could have wished that this prosecution had been brought sooner, but this could not be imputed to the prosecutor, for it did not appear that he had delayed bringing his action after he got the information. Though this species of crime may not have occurred in our law before, still the law may be applied to remedy it when it does occur. The special law enacted in regard to it does not infringe on the law as it stood before. The oath is not innocency even as limited by the witnesses for the Pannels, and though there is no proof that the Pannels had entered into a design of leading the persons they admitted into their society to sedition practices, yet the oath may be employed for that purpose. His Lordship said, he could not believe that any such ceremonies were employed in other Mason Lodges, because they are so abominable and impious; it rather appeared that this was a new oath introduced by the Pannels, and not in use before in admitting Masons.
Verdict of the Jury. All in one voice find the facts libelled—Not Proven. The Pannels were therefore absolved and dismissed from the bar.
The following curious letter appears in the Moniteur of the 9th of September. It was written by Menou prior to those we have already published on the death of Kleber, and we believe has never appeared in this country.
J. Menou, General of Division, to Citizen Buonaparte, first Consul of the Republic.
Rosetta, 28 Ventose—Feb. 17. Citizen Consul.
The English do not adhere to the capitulation. The following is the present state of things.
Lord Keith has taken the command of the English station in the Mediterranean. He has signified to Sir Sidney Smith that he will not observe the articles of the capitulation, and that if any capitulation were permitted, it should be one by which the French were made prisoners of war, leaving behind them their cannon, their muskets, and generally every thing they brought with them. Sir Sidney Smith has communicated this notice to the General in Chief, informing him that he was exceedingly sorry his powers were withdrawn from him. For my part, I believe that M. Smith was half in the secret, and that the English know no other than the fides punica.
Events conspire, however, to prevent us from abandoning this excellent settlement. Citizen Consul, I can assure you, that it is infinitely more valuable than we believed it to be. From information collected with great care, it is proved, that the Bays expended here more than 60 millions. Mourad and Ibrahim Bey alone expended annually 20 millions. There were 22 other Bays, 250 Cachefs, and 8,500 Mamelukes, without reckoning some foot troops.
The first purchase and equipment of each Mameluke costs 1000 Spanish piastres, and his annual maintenance amounted to between 1,500 and 2000 francs.
When they married, a house, slaves, and all their furniture was given them. You may judge from this what the Cachef must have received who were proprietors of several villages, and also what the other 22 Bays must have expended.
It is proved that the Coptes have deceived us in the most shocking manner; they have always divided the revenue of Egypt into three portions. One third they gave to the French, one third they retained to themselves, and the other third they transferred to the fugitive Bays, Cachefs, Mamelukes, &c. I have this information from the best source.
It is true that the customs, which raised 15 millions, before the war, may now reckon for nothing; but there was a revenue of 45 millions, of which we never received more than twenty. On this revenue all the depredations of our administrators have fallen; for you love truth, Citizen Consul, and you must be told that our Administration here is despicable. Avarice generally prevails, and all principles of honour and morality are forgotten. Time was necessary to cure this evil; but circumstances have placed you more advantageously for our happiness.
It is certain, then, that the Colony of Egypt is a most excellent acquisition for France, that all the expense of its administration, and retaining its need cost nothing to the Republic, since that country has a territorial revenue more than sufficient to cover every expence, and all the produce of its commerce would be a net profit to France, but should we abandon it, the English would take possession of it, and entirely destroy our commerce in the Levant.
In consequence of the conduct of the English, the General in Chief has resumed a warlike attitude. The Grand Vizier's army is most wretched, six thousand French would put it to the route, and we have more than triple that number to oppose to it. I am only afraid lest the English discover their error, and become sensible of the immense advantage which the evacuation of Egypt would procure to them. In that case, what will the General in Chief do?
General Galbaud has arrived at Damietta, which was previously in the possession of the Turks. He was taken there and conducted to Belbeys to the Grand Vizier, who received him well. In the audience the French General testified to the Vizier his astonishment at the coalition of the Porte with Russia. The Vizier observed, that about two months after the invasion of Egypt, the English and the Russians proposed to the Grand Seigneur to enter into the coalition. He replied, that he had no ground for declaring war against France; that it was true Egypt was invaded, but he required two months to send to France to inquire into the motives which had induced the French to take possession of Egypt. The Ministers of England and Russia then declared, that they would only allow him 24 hours to decide on war against France, or war against the Russians and the English; then said the Grand Vizier, the Porte was obliged to yield. The Russians had considerable forces in the Black Sea, and there was nothing to nothing to oppose them at Constantinople. It was, therefore, necessary to declare war against France.
I have this important anecdote from General Galbaud himself, who was sent by the Grand Vizier to Damietta, proceeded thence by land to Rosetta, and set out the day before yesterday for Cairo.
ABDALLAH J. MENOU.
From a late London Paper.
A gentleman who has had the curiosity to see and converse with the raw Flesh Eater, has furnished us with the following singular anecdote, which he related of himself. About five years since he fell desperately in love with a butcher woman at Breth, and having plenty of money, the produce of a successful cruise in a privateer, he made no scruple of paying his addresses in form, not did he think that he had, at first, any reason to complain of his reception. But having, on his second visit devoured two raw bullocks livers, his mistress expressed so much disgust, and even horror, that he absolutely interdicted his approaches for the future. Infamed with love and stung with disappointment, he made a solemn vow to abstain for ever from raw flesh, and though it was then dinner time, actually kept his resolution for the space of seven hours. After the lapse of that period, his hunger was so raging, and his love so ardent, that life became, as he thought, insupportable, and he went down to the sea side with the intention to destroy himself.
"Silent he wander'd by the thundering roar, Of billows tumbling on the sounding shore." Whilst he was ruminating on this desperate purpose, an accidental occurrence gave a different termination to the business; for a huge field rat crossing at the time, he by an involuntary impulse, darted, caught, and bolted it down at a mouthful. From that moment he has never felt any return of the tender passion, thought no more of his vow, and returned to his accustomed regimen.
The above anecdote furnishes a discovery of more importance than the Reader is perhaps immediately aware of. In the days, when so many Damons are burning and Chloes melting, with amorous sensations, the example just mentioned promises a total cure without any other trouble than that of swallowing a live rat!

BOSTON, November 19.
TO WHOM IT CONCERNS.
Why are not some of the American officers stationed off Cayenne?
The Warren sloop of war, of 18 guns, Capt. James Barron, on Thursday fell down to President- Roads.
The ships of war in our harbour, are, the Constitution, of 44 guns, Capt. Talbot; the Boston, of 32 guns, Capt. Little, repairing; the Warren of 18 guns, Capt. Barron; and the Herald of 20 guns, Capt. C. C. Russell, repairing. The Constitution and Warren, are ready for sea.
On the 11th inst. twenty-eight ships, thirteen brigs, and twelve schooners and sloops, were preparing to sail from New-York, on foreign voyages!—and yet—New-York is represented in Congress by an anti-federalist!!
Marblehead is now suffering a heavy calamity.—Three thousand of its inhabitants now are, or in a few days will be, under the operation of the small-pox.—Business is wholly at a stand, and the past suffering of the town render it ill-calculated to support the privation. The season is inclement. The cause of charity is the cause of all. We trust, therefore, we need only say, that a subscription for the relief of suffering poor in that town, is now open at the Boston Marine Insurance office, to insure a donation worthy the liberal capital of Massachusetts. A subscription of 600 dollars was yesterday filled at Brooks's in a few minutes and the money transmitted to the Hon. Judge Sewall.
This day the Legislature of New-Hampshire meets at Concord, for the purpose of choosing electors.
The people of Rhode-Island meet this day for the choice of Electors. The federalists were yesterday, we learn, taking effective measures to secure the success of the "Adams and Pinckney" ticket.
The favourite toast of the day, in New-England, is, "Adams and Pinckney."
The Editor of the Portsmouth Oracle, introduces the list of Electors, with the following gratulatory parody;—"Many States have done virtuously but thou, Massachusetts, excelleth them all."
NEW-YORK, November 25.
INFANT MURDER.
On the 13th inst. a Gentleman passing by a small house at the side of the Passaic river, in Bergen county, discovered a hog in the act of devouring an infant; it had already destroyed both the arms. People in the neighbourhood were alarmed, and the body being examined by a coroner's inquest, they found that the child had been murdered by its mother or some other person unknown. There were marks of violence on the child's neck, and there was other cause for supposing that he had been destroyed, before his birth, to immediate destruction. The mother, or her assistants had covered the child slightly in a small stack of corn-tops in the garden, and the hog, trespassing in the garden, had found it. Suspicion fell heavy on a young woman who had lived two or three months in the house mentioned. Her shape had attracted notice; she had lately been sick, and had removed. But the witnesses who had observed her shape could say nothing certain; for the fashionable dress eludes discovery.
BALTIMORE, November 24.
From the North Carolina papers it appears that in the county of Bladen, Wilmington district, general Brown the federal candidate for elector, had 341 votes and Samuel Ashe, the republican candidate, 6 votes.
In Newbern district. William Shepperd, the federal candidate, has a majority of 70 votes, exclusive of Wayne and Johnston counties.
HARRISBURGH, November 24.
Can it be true, asks a Correspondent, that the two men who were convicted in Cumberland county, of whipping a poor negro to death, and whose crime the Court declined to believe was murder in the first degree, have been pardoned; have escaped all punishment? Though such a thing is asserted, I will not believe it, until I am made acquainted with a cause adequate to this more than humane exercise of the pardoning Prerogative.
EARTH QUAKE.
On Thursday morning last, the 20th of November inst. two shocks of an Earthquake was sensibly felt by the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood. The first, took place about 15 minutes before 5 o'clock, and lasted about 40 seconds; in some houses, the effects were more visible than in others—the knockers on some of the doors, rapped as though they were moved by hands, and in one dwelling, a set of china was shaken from a table and broke to pieces. The fright occasioned many of the inhabitants to rise from their beds.
The second shock took place 5 minutes after 5 o'clock, and lasted about half a minute; it was not so severe as the other, but was also very sensibly felt in almost every dwelling. In both instances, a rumbling noise, accompanied the trembling of the earth.
Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended,
DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States; particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere affection, could do.
It is not indeed, presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

POLITICS.
(A FARCE, IN TWO ACTS.)
Act 1.—Scene.—A Judge's Chamber. Enter Judge—(Solus)
Judge—The crisis of my life is come! Oh Fortune is capricious—thou who hast dealt with caprice to others, and always favoured me!—An Officer once—next, Member of a Legislative Council,—now a Judge,—and shall I not be Governor?—My brain begins to turn; on this momentous day I feel assured and not assured of power.—Nothing, save that engrosses my attention—on no object can I keep my eye—(knocking)—They come to tell my fate! now for the trial.—(Enter Servant.) Speak! Moulder speak! who waits?
Servant—Sir, a man would converse with your honour, but ere I let him in, I deemed it prudent (he had so dirty and so villainous a visage)—
Judge—Villain away! Call up that Gentleman.
Servant—And then his cloaths were rent as tho' the crows had taken him for carrion.
Judge—Begone! (Ex-Servant.) Enter Duane.
Duane—All hail your honour!
Judge—How now my worthy character? On thy countenance rests hope—or I mistake.
Duane—The election ground is filled with our friends; of enemies there are a few indeed, and they not headed; the citizens easily know them by their meekness, and they have all got shirts on:—Infants are heaped upon them with a liberal hand. This day shall thou be Governor.
Judge—Sayst thou so? To-morrow then, shalt thou be my pay.
Duane—O!—your honour!
Judge—Worthy Japser!
Duane—This great Election doth require my presence on the ground; my gratu-tions o'er, I will return, with leave, to aid your cause—Adieu—Remember me—In pay to-morrow! (Exit.)
Judge, (Solus)—My friends shall reap the benefit of their exertions.—The petty officers of the state, who are opposed to my success, shall be displaced; the worthy Democrats shall fill their places—but—is this justice?—must public good be prostrated for my exaltation?—Conscience away! These offices have I promised; and these promises, my ambition prompts me to fulfil. (A pause.) Aridit can turn serfivner,—Campbell practice law—the Attorney serve—they and their children and their children's children,—if I but rule the Commonwealth.—(Enter Servant.)
Servant—A letter, Sire.—(Exit.)
Judge—(reads)
"The votes are numerous, but chiefly in your favour: our courier to Buxlertown and another to Darby, have returned, with information, that the Republican Cause, triumphs at those places."
A. J. D****.
Judge—Now my hopes rise, (taking up a glass of liquor) "Success to the Democratic ticket throughout the State of Pennsylvania!"—(Sings.)
(Tune, when I've money)
When I've money how great?
But if I'm call—how very small!
Aye! there's the rub—O my poor pate,
Cant bear uncertainty at all!
Fol lol, &c.
When Gov'nor, wea lowrd will wear
And true like any grant Sultan,
We'll make our enemy's beware,
How they a haughty look put on:—
Fol lol, &c.
We'll send to England for a wig,
Like my Lord Mansfield's it shall be
Our To-morrow, he shall have a gig
When pow'r supreme is giv'n to me—
Fol lol—
Our Cane shall ride in one State Coach
Another we'll go in ourself—(knocking)
(More news! (enter Callender)
Callender—Your Excellency, (for so I greet you since the poll has closed) will be much pleased to hear the shouts of the populace—they hail "ex-governor"—they drag a boat of fire to celebrate this most joyous event—their hats are cast into the air—some throw away their shoes for gladness, and all would do so, but the gentlemen, are mostly barefoot.
Judge—Lead me, I pray you, to our front door.—(Exit.)
Act 2d.—Scene 1st.—Street.
Enter D—s Judge, Callender, and others.
D—s—I would thank that gentleman with one stocking, to stand a little back.
Judge—Fellow Citizens!—
You have made choice of your unworthy servant, to execute the important office of governor;—you have thereby conferred an obligation, that never will be forgotten, and you may rely upon my endeavors, at the risk of every thing in the world—to please you.
Mob—Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!
First Mob—Grogs.
Second Mob—Toddy.
Judge—Both are at your service.
All—Huzza.
Judge—My friends: I drink your health!
Mob—Huzza. (Judge goes in, and mob disperses.)
Scene 2d.—(Chamber) (Enter Judge, D—s, Duane, Barker, Cooper, Leib, &c. &c. who after congratulating his honor, commence singing and drinking till they fall under the table.)
(Tune, "Sit down neighbours all")
Judge.
Sit down Dem's all, till I sing a merry ditty
And since I am your Gov'nor, I'll sing it very pretty,
Mr. Coxe since leaving Adams, shall be in our Land Office,
And greater than the whole he got,—by Howe, shall be his profits.
Barker.
Bow! bow! bow!
Judge.
Friend D—s, he shall hold his place, as long as he shall choose it,
And when he's tired of the fame, friend Cooper, he may use it:
Next in office I will place, the worthy cit named Be—k—y,
Instead of strap—laid on his back, I'll appoint Loyd directly—
Barker.
Bow! bow! bow!
Judge.
Duane the great, and Callender shall share of my great bounty,
And for any other friends—I'll seek them all about the Country;
I'll persecute the officers and turn them from their places;
For I'm relieved my friends alone shall share their honest laces.
Barker.
Bow! bow! bow!
All.
We humbly thank your Excellency.
(Tune A Cabbie there was &c.)
Lloyd.
A convict I was; and I liv'd in a jail,
My ears have been lashed to posts with a nail,
Callender and Duane were in prison confin'd,
And their company's best is such places I find.
Derry down, down,
down derry down.
Together we'd drink and we'd talk and we'd
smoke,
We set for each other at ev'ry fire,
Ev'ry Egg that was pelted gainst liberty's cause
Advised us to seek for your Honor's applause.
Derry down &c.
(Tune "the night before Larry was fetch'd")
Duane.
The night I to pillory went,
Lloyd visit'd me in the prison;
All my money before I had spent,
Long ere I was sent there for treason.
Said Lloyd, "Duane why don't you borrow?"
Quoth I, "dear Sir, they won't trust me,
Here I must remain to my sorrow,
And no nugget of Gin for the thirty,
To warm thy back for the whip
To warm &c.
Callender.
With convicts 'tis true we were pent,
With Gov'nors now we rank equal;
'Tis well to this country we went,
Where we rank, as first men of the people.
Hard Eggs and soft—sweet and ritten,
Were sent, with such ivy and wadnuts,
All our politics they were forgotten,
And our joys were all in n'd'ing fatness.
For the hair was knock'd off from our pates
For the hair &c.

"Oh! that was no time to sing Lang'lee."

Mr. WAYNE,
THROUGH the channel of your paper, Mr. M. Carey has required me to contradict an insinuation made by you, that he was the writer of the Rush Light , No. 6.
I can only inform him, and the world in general, that as I did not see a sentiment, a word, or a letter of said Rush Light written or printed, it would be impossible for me to say with certainty, who wrote or printed it. But if Mr. A. or Mr. B. or any other person, is certain that P. Porcupine did not write it; which I cannot would be difficult to prove, I might then have my suspicions as well as they have theirs; nevertheless, as those suspicions, if communicated would do more harm than good, I shall keep them to myself, at all risks, and upon my honor.
In opening my book store, I started a new couple, having seen the slavery of Europe, in my tour through that country, I became enamoured of liberty, and have long desired the shackles which my fellow bookellers have imposed upon themselves. One is a republican, he will therefore sell nothing aristocratic; another is an aristocrat, and he will sell nothing democratic; one is a christian, and he will sell nothing deistical; and the christians, dividing themselves into parties, will not sell each others works. If I am not mistaken, there is one bookseller in this city, who would think his store contaminated by the romish religion, and another by the pilgrims progress; whereas, I am for even, giving the Devil his due; and verily believe if his footy Majesty were to desire me to publish his account of a certain transaction with our common mother, which has made such a noise in the world, I should be tempted to publish it for the benefit of myself, and mankind.
But Mr. Carey may be anxious to know what I have to say to him, for whom I have as much respect as Mr. Wayne can possibly have; personal, political and commercial; I must say, that I believe him to have spoken the truth, so far as that no one sentence, word, or letter, of this celebrated Rush Light , which is now making such a blaze, was written by him. But as I am fond of ease and hate to be teased about trifles, I will you would, all of you, let me alone; if you don't like the Rush Light , pray furnish me with a flambeau or an argad lamp which you know will infallibly overpower its splendour; and I will cheerfully exhibit it in my bow window and put out the Rush Light : for when a man lights up a farthing candle to such good company as Mr. great A. little A. B. & C. it is generally because he has not money to buy a better. It grieves me much to be a dealer in such small wares; because I know when they are
placed before a man of an atrabilarious habit, they want nothing to often, that it puts him quite out of humour.
But what can I do, I must keep every thing, I should lose all my custom,— "I must live," said a Lampooning Genius, to the Cardinal Richelieu; and although, my enemies may say, in the words of the same cardinal, that they "see no reason for that," I, however, who consider myself as good a judge as any of them, see a good many solid reasons why I should not only live, but live well too: but the strength of all is, that I live in a free Country.
R. T. RAWLE.
From the Aurora of the 17th of Nov. 1800.
"It is very consoling to reflect on the salvation of Mr. M'Henry's grand military report, presented to Congress, in the last session, by the Ex-Secretary. The original of that brilliant report, where in horse artillery gallop through quires of paper, will be found in a Magazine, published at Hamburg, in the French language, the copy of Mr. M'Henry's adoption, was only an humble translation, found ready cut and dry in an English Newspaper . Gods and Goddesses, what wonderful Statesmen, we have been blessed with."
REMARKS.
The military report, thus attempted to be censured, together with a letter from the late Secretary of War, to a Committee of Congress, supplementary to the said report; will be found to contain, without intending to depreciate the abilities, of any of the Secretaries, who preceded Mr. M'Henry in the same department, the clearest and fullest view, of the best designed system of defence for the United States, and of practical improvements, in existing military establishments, which has ever been submitted to Congress or the Public. The propositions of the Ex-Secretary, contemplate, an amelioration in our military establishment; demonstrate that the mode will operate a saving of expense, and by the application of a part only of the means actually provided, form for, and within, the United States, a sufficiency of well instructed officers, artificers and Engineers, to meet any probable exigencies which may demand their services, and obviate in the event of war; the degrading necessity of a recourse to foreign nations, for officers.
The Ex-Secretary's idea of a new arrangement of the two regiments of artillery and Engineers, to as to form three regiments, viz— one of horse-artillery; one of foot-artillery, and one of Engineers, with a saving of above 20,000 dollars annually to the United States, in time of peace, does equal credit to his genius, and knowledge of the subject. The plan, combines with economy, as much perfection in this military arm, as perhaps, it is susceptible of.
With respect to the charge of Plagiarism, relative to the horse artillery; those who have read the report, will not require any thing to be said, to acquire the Ex-Secretary; those who have not, by referring to the report, will see, that the Ex-Secretary page 22; explicitly acknowledges, "that most of the aforesaid facts respecting this powerful military agent ( horse artillery ) were taken from a recent work entitled, " Precis des évènements militaires ," published in numbers at Hamburg.
It is proper to observe, that what immediately relates to the horse artillery, is comprised in a very few pages of the report in question.
Nothing authentic has yet been received from Rhode-Island respecting the election;—the Jacobins anticipate accounts from thence, with "fear and trembling."
On Saturday last, we explicitly stated, that a majority of federalists existed in the legislature of South-Carolina, we again repeat it, and from the authority, on which we ground the assertion, no man made acquainted with it, would hesitate to give it full credit.
Not a hint respecting the Maryland election; is to be found in the Aurora of this day.—The Jacobin writers are quite mute; what has become of their majority of two?
Accounts from North Carolina wear a pleasing aspect—the prospect of the complete Triumph of Federalism, breaks forth with additional lustre.
Precepts have been issued for supplying the vacancies in the representation of Massachusetts in the present Congress, on the 15th December next, in the 3d and 4th western districts.—It is highly probable General Mattoon and Judge Lincoln will be elected.
It is predicted in the Aurora , that, as soon as Thomas Jefferson mounts the Chair of the Executive, the Federal Editors of this City, and they might have added, of the Union, will be "crushed to atoms";—This is a specimen of the Liberty, which will be enjoyed under the mild government of the Jacobins, and we do not doubt, that the attempt to remove every bar to their schemes will be made—when they get him in—But, thank Heaven, after the 4th of March next, their favourite Philosopher will become a private citizen.
Some wife-acre in the Aurora , after writing about Cobbett and Rush-Nights, and of the best republican writers in America, names Callender, Dallas, Tenche Coxe, and lastly Mr. Carey, as the best of Republican writers, and says the Rush Light No. 6, has been attributed to each of these persons, at various times. It is now of little consequence, who the author is, as no person now denies it being a bare forgery . It is a pity Irish Jasper was omitted among the best republican writers, that self-styled " Gentleman of the first reputation ," that " Cicero of Anglo Federalism ."
From the sighing, sobbing, groaning, grunting, wailing, lamentations of the Aurora man over the fate of his friend, the Captain and crew of la Berceau, one must necessarily conclude that the humane, meritorious profession of plundering, robbing, capturing and murdering the unprotected citizens of this country, in prosecuting a commerce, unquestionably just and lawful, must be Duanes achme of virtue and patriotism, monstrorum hominum partus ! that an insolent foreigner should deplore and execrate in our own country the success of its defenders, is not so much to be wondered at, but that it should be borne and encouraged by those very citizens who are daily receiving the advantages of a protected commerce—a protection to which they are indebted for the enhanced prices of all kinds of produce is too abominable to be credited of any other age, or Country, or people. If patriotism be a duty if Gratitude be a virtue, such conduct must and will meet with a just retribution. Read citizens, read again the infamous pages of the Aurora of yesterday.
From the Aurora .
"Shall new and more damning evidence be brought against Mr. Adams and Mr. Hamilton, and others, not hitherto enough distinguished for their TRAITEROUS conduct."

And we've reason to think this conjecture not wrong.
As she only was beat by a Little . SEC.
