BOITON, SEPT. 6.—lt is announced from se-
veral quarters, though we know not on what
authority, that the 45th patailel of latitude has
been determined by the Con►nrissioners for set-
tling the Not thein boundary of the United Stares,
to run sortie distance south of the place Where it
has been formerly repotted to run ; and conse-
quently that the fortifications at Ruuhe'< Point on
Lake Champlain, on which sotne hundred ►hou-

sand dollars have been expended by the Govern-
ment, besides an extensive tract of territory, in-
habited by citizens of the United States, will fall
within the jurisdiction of Lower Canada, The Cen
tinel states, that the line has taller) a mile and an
half to the sonthivard of lionse's Point ; the
Gazette of yesterday makes the loss to the United
States much more extensive than had been ,ippre-
hended. "It is fully ascertained,“ says that
paper, " that the bo'►ndary li►►e bet us een the
United States and CADA, runs several degrees
south of the military works at lionst's Point."

PLATTSBURCH, AUG. 28.—1 t is reported that
the astronomer appointed the present season by
the Government of the United States, to ascer-
tain the northern boundary betieeen the United
Stares and Canada, concurs with the observations
made, last year, and gives it as his opinion that
the military winks at Rouse's Point sire north .of

As the name and the works of this Enemy of

infamy, it may not be improper to present to the
Public the Character which was drawn of him by
COBEETT, in the year 1796, and extracted from
the fourth volume of his Works. The Following,
therefore, is the Character then drawn by COB..
BETT ; but as the Writer has changed .hisprinci.

he may perhaps he as warm now in his eulo•

same miscreant. It may be supposed by some
that, in this portrait of THOMAS PAINII, COB.
BRTT drew himself at the same time ; and it may
be possible that, as they so strongly resmble each
other in principles and conduct, the end of the
one may equally resemble that of the other :
" Of the many answers to Paine no one demands
so much of our praise and our gratitude as Dr.

FOR THE', SUN.

TO MISS BULL.

LETTER 11.

MY DZAR MiSS..,-.4 am happy to find thatyour good
sense has kept you away from the York Meeting.
Indeed there were Whigs enough there without
you ; and, though it was no place for girls, yet
thOse concerned seem to have made old women's
work of it, voting as truths of high political no-
velty what every body has assented to far the
last five centuries, but erring most egregiously as
to-.the premises to which these truths were applied,
and actually assuming as facts the very points
respecting which inquiry was demanded.

'ou, my dear Miss BULL, in your, no doubt
frequent, culinary superintendence of the viands
for honest JOHN'S refectory, may sometimes have
heard applied the homely proverb of " after meat
mustard."—You may even have beard it whis-
pered, that " God sends meat, but somebody else
sends cooks." You yourself may have often said,
that " the proof of the pudding is in the eating
of it,"—nay, that " half a loaf is better than no
bread," and I leave it to your sagacity to say,
how far these great truths, like the York Resolu-
tions, relate to that grand measure of retro-anti-
cipation which voted an Address to call Parlia-
ment, after Parliament bad been called—to the
motley group of Whigs, Moderates, and Radicals,
all differing in essentials, yet professing to unite
in Reform—to the probable, even to the passing
results of modern Meetings,—and to the ruin
which these Reformers are bringing on themselves,
whilst striving to utado and plunder the Country.
These are very simple considerations, Miss
BULL, and very plainly put, so as to be equally
iutelligible to you anti to your dairy maid ; but,
these examined, I recommend no further political
investigations into subjects on which you can have
no absolute personal concern, as you have no
votes at present, and have no hopes held out to
you even under Universal Sufrage! 01 the free-
dom of your Countrymen, however, you do now
fully partake ; but in seekiug for more you may
lose what you now possess. The men of England
are fully competent of themselves to preserve
and maintain every attribute of real Liberty.
If women are called forward to assist in ob-
taining more titan that, they will only help to
forge their own chains. In Despotism women arc
the slaves of man—itt anarchy they are his vic-
tims. Chose between the two; but, without a
pun, you will chose that which is between the ttvo,
the wholesome regulated liberty of British social
order. Then quit the Forum, my dear Miss, (or
the Fire-side,where you are sure to please JOHNN
whether it be itt the chearful parlour, or the
humbler kitchen where you may draw up a Bill
of Fare mod' better than a Bill of Rights, engage
in broils and stews much more agreeable than
those of political contention, see geese plucked by
hand as bare as by pertny subscriptions and volun-
tory contributions., and cook your Yorkshire gans-
71tWi !Mot its being hung I

In tine, AlislßuLL, look itito your soup-kettle,
and leirn this important trutb, that, in soups and
in polities, whetwver they come to boil, the
sciir4 will al ,vay. be uppermost:*
This, my dear. Miss, is the adrice of one who
loves )7:lu—my (wore silence you may consider as
approval—hut it you err, beware ! I shall be at
you again, and purify you by transferring all
your spots to 'ln& SUN.

We seem now to he exactly arrived at one

a defect in our laws, the whole State is in danger

when assembled, will justify her remark, that we
never fail to remedy such defects when thus dis-

under legal pretences, yet with the most illegal

worst effects.

PAINE'S At:E OF REASON.

MR. EDlTOR—thving in eat ly life been in-
fluenced to assent totha dreadful impiety of this
pernicious and detestable work, and having,
through the mercy of Con, been led to see toy
error, and also to feel a direct contrary opinion,
I cannot but be exceedingly grieved to find that
so great a number of copies are srill iu circulation.
The great mischitt is, that many persons (per-
haps all) who believe the contents of this book,
have never perused,the Scriptures for themselves,
which was Div own case, till atter I had read
PonTEus's " Evidences of Christikroiiy ;" and, its
one of the objects of the Age of Reason is to
strike at the foundation, by denying the Jlosaic
account of the Creation. and by asserting the
improbability of maintaining a regular chain itt
evidence, I beg permission to semi you a state-
ment of that important chain as it stands record-
ed in the Bible ; and I do think that every im -
partial person will perceive that a more lucid
and uninterrupted connection of testimony cannot
be found itr any historical work in the world.--
This fact being established beyond the power of
contradiction, all the subsequent events recorded
in the Holy Scriptures demand our implicit con-
fidence, and none but the most daring Infidels
will attempt to contradict them.
