ment, in manner, form, and substance following

to wit :

" Imprimis. I leave my body to Doctor Michael
Lief), a member of the Legis4ature of Pensylva-
nia, to be' by hint dissected (it he knows how to
do it) in the presence of Rump of the Demo-
cratic Socieiy.- In it they will-find a heart th
held them in abhorrence, that (liver palpitated at
their threats, intd that to its last beat, bade them
defiance.. But my chief motive for making this
bequest is, that my spirit may look down with
contemn: on their cannibal-like triumph over a
breathless corpse.

" my beloved countrymen, the peo-
ple of Old England, I will and bequeath a copy
of Doctor Priestley's Charity Sermon for the be-
nefit of poor emigrants; 'arid to• the sari-le:40)100-
pher himself, 1 bequeath a heart tull.of disap-
pointment, 'grief, and despair.
. " Item.—To the replinlican'Britons, who have
fled from the hands of justice in their own coun-
try-, and who are a. scandal, a nuisance, and a dis-
grace to this I I. bequeath hunger and nakedness,
scorn, and reproach ; and.l do hereby positively
enjoin on My executors to 'contribute 500 donate
towards the erection of gallowses and gibbets, fur
the accommodation of the said imported patriots,
when the Legislators of this. unhappy State shall
have the wisdom to countenance such useful esta-
biishnhents, . .

" Item.—To ToM Paine, the author of Commint
'Sense, .Rights of Man; Age of Reason, and Letter
to General Washington, 1 bequeath a strong hempen
collar, as the only legacy I
,can think of that is
worthy of him, as well'as best adapted to tender
his death in some measure us infamous as his life :
and 1 do het eby direct and order my executors to
.send it to him by the first safe conveyance, with
my compliments, anti request that he would make
usr of it Without delay, that the 'national razor
may not be disgraceddq the head qi slich A MON-
STEC.

SPANISH INSURRECTION.—Letters from Ca

can be no doubt ; and its suppression will pi

less iortnidable nature, appeared likely.to prodi
a similar result, info-aiding the operations.agai

hands, or rather nations, of robbers: one por

with all 'the precision of . a regularly disciplin
force ; and the other in irregular bodies and 07
rauding.partics. The' dread of an invasion frt
Spain haVing turned the energies" of the Buen

chief cause, that has suffered these tribes.of ba.

necessary to undertake their reduetion on a sc,
that will call into action a large proportion of t
resources of the state. The magnitude of t
preparation is to be considered, hoivever, as iri,
'cative of the necessity of immediateiy striking
decisive blow, rather than of,the' extent of t:
danger. Not only the troops.of Buenos Ayre

was so complete and, effective, that little anxiet
was entertained for the result. A body of. Artigas
