Domus et platens uzor.
Thy house and pleasing wife.
SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en-
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men
flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded ;
and' The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word wife is the most
agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution,
then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment,
terming not only with happiness on earth, but disposing the soul
itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to
entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative
duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser_
nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted
pleasure may have entailed on It. To the negieet of such atten-
tion are attributable. many of those hapless instances,
while they excite.the commiseration of the beholder, should alto _
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeminiae the body, a residence in the
Tropics will relax the elastic fibre, but more especially dues the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the
natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago-
nixed sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all
such, then, we address ourselves, offiriu;; hope, energy, muscu-
lar strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable,
sanctioned as they are by the r -
successful experience. The

We have this day received, via Liverpool, a variety
of papers, from Philadelphia, and been favoured
with a perusal of several private letters. They give

the most deplorable accounts of the commercial'cris-

tress which pervades the United States, from one end'
of the Union to another; and of the termination of
which they have at present no prospect. whatever.—
The truth is simply tLis—America, by fortuitous cir-
cumstances, rising out of a long war, which banished
. from the ocean the vessels of all the belligerents, ex-
cepting only that one (England) which possessed the
principal naval force, became a necessary agent in
the commerce of the European nations, and, with us,
participated in the extensive profits arising from the
carrying trade, and the emoluments of intermediate
agency. The then prosperity of the United States rested
on no solid foundation: all was adventitious, resting on
foreign sources, not even excepting their increased trade
in corn, which arose, in a considerable measure, from
the heartless prospects of the farmers in many Euro-
pean States, who, when they sowed their fields, often
knew not who were to reap them. The peace oCEurope
has deprived the United States of all these adventi-
tious sources of emolument : the principals, being
now able to :,.ct for themselves, have dismissed the
agents; and the result which has followed, though
perfectly natural, has filled the Americans with
amazement. They are all now sighing for war!—
In the mean time, the effects of their commercial dis-
tress ate, we are concerned to state, reaching our
Manufacturing Districts, and pressing heavily on
those who have consigned property to America, in
the hope of finding a market.
The following is an extract of a letter from Mr.
ROBERT HORSFALL, who emigrated frorn Mat chester
about two years ago, taking with him property to a
considerable amount, with the intention of cornmenc-
ing business in some part of the United States :

~ PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. to, 1819.

" MY DLL Fartxo—l cannot express to you bow happy I
feel that you did not listen to the flattering representations of this
now wretched country. I should never have forgiven myself, if
you, or any other friend, listening to the glowing accounts that
were sent you, shortly after my arrival, had been induced to
quit England to settle here. Believe me, my dear friend, that
F.ngland, with its heavy load of debt and taxes, and the misrule
of its Government, is far, very far superior to this wretched
country! Never was there so great a metamorphosis (from afflu-
ence to beggary) is the history of any country, as the last ten
months have wrought in America, whose boast used to be—
' Amon ter have none, and Bankrupts eery file !' Now, alas
fray one extremity of the Union to the other, the country
swarms with each description. Among the former, I regret to
say, are many of my deluded countrymen, who came out under
brighter prospects. As for myself, I have quite exhausted my
finances, and shall embrace an early opportunity of returning to
014 England, never more to quit it. Messrs. CKILTHAM and
Foama also mean to accompany me, as there is nothing but
ruin :taring us in the face, in every direction.
" Many Englishmen, who only a few months ago conceived
thrmvivvs in the high road to fortune, unable to bear the cruel
revers(' they have experienced, have sunk under their load of
v.:tiering. I only know the name of one of these unhappy indi-
viduals, and that I shall conceal, in tenderness to his respectable

relatives at

to an 31annitig extent in this country, where it was formerly of
rice occurrence; and to sum up the measure of misery expe- '
newel in this once-depicted • land of milk and honey,' that
worst of all *comes of the human race, the yellow fever, has
aria been committing its dreadful ravages.
" Many hundreds (datives of the United Kingdom), some by
the aid of the British Consul, others by the humane assistance
Of the British merchants, and a few by means of the small wreck
of their property, have quitted this Land of Promise, and re-
turned to Great Britain—and I almost envy them for having got
the start of me. lam likewise grieved for the fate of the thou-
sands of miserable creatures whom poverty must rivet to this
country, where there are no charitable institutions for their re-
lief. Any permanent change for the better, is quite unlooked
for here, unless a war should break out iu Europe, of which, I
suppose, there is no pr'spect!
" Adieu, and believe me yottr's, truly, " R. 1.1."

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived

Me Moniteur of Saturday contains a Royal Ordi-
nance, convoking the Two Chambers for the 15th of
November next.

The Princess of WALES is said to have arrived at
Lyors, under the travelling name of the Countess
0i on the night of the 11th and 12th instant, with
a suite of nine persons. It is not certain, adds one
Journal, whether 43aron DE BERGAMO iS one cf the
;number. We are farther told that Mr. CANNING had
an interview with the Patmess, at Milan, on the
'2lst of September, and that it is the intention of her
'?oyal ll:glten to come to London to prosecute her
iuit against the Executors of her late brother, the
Juke of Bautiswick. Her Royal Highness is daily
!xpected in Patis.
The new Quern of S&Ala arrived on the Spanish

ten itcrry on the morning of the 2d instant, amidst
the acclamations of an immense multitude; who were
collected on the borders of the Bidassoa to witness
the interesting spectacle.
It is supposed, that in consequence of apprehensions
which are entertained of the spread of the yellow
fever to Madrid, her Majesty will not proceed to
that Capital for the present, but stop at Burgos. All
the gates of Madrid are kept shut, except two, the
charge of which is entrusted to the Burgher Guard,
and no person is allowed to enter, who is from An-
dalusia or the south of Spain. The Fever, at the Isle
of Leon, is supposed to have now passed its height.
—On the 15th of September the number of sick was
10.96. Since that time it has kept gradually dimi-
nishing, and on the 24th there were only 495 on the
list. At Cadiz there has been also a marked dimi-
nution in the number of persons affected. Chiclana
and Puerto Sant Maria are reported to have suffered
as much as either of the other places. It is said that
in Rota and Zeres there are only five persons who
'have caught the fever, and great exertions are made,
by isolating these individuals, and by other precau-
tions, to prevent the farther spread of the contagion.

All the other maritime towns of the Province, in-
cluding Porto Real, are in. the most healthy state.
Seville had on the 18th of September been declared
officially to be quite free of any indication of the
fever; but in a few days afterwards symptoms of it
were unexpectedly discovered in the Fauxbourg of
St. Croix, and on the 24th the number of sick was
thirtythree, of whom ten fell victims, and three are
convalescent. All the other parts of Spain are stated
to be quite free of the fever.

The Convention concluded between Sweden and
Denmark, through the mediation of 'Great Britain,
provides, by one of its articles, that the King of
DENMARK shall henceforth cease to include the Lion
of Norway in his armorial bearings.
The Grand Duke of BADEN has issued a very sen-
sible Ordiliance, to which, for the general benefit of
.the public functionaries of our own country, we par-
ticularly request their attention. It has been long com-
plained of, says the Ordinance, that some functiona-
ries affect to sign their names in a manner so ille-
gible, that it is often impossible to decipher them.
The injury which results from this, in regard to the
authenticity of public acts and documents is obvious,
and the Ordinance, therefore, enjoins all Functionaries
to write their names so as they can be read, under the
pain of having any document illegibly signed thrown
back on their hands.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND has left Berlin for
Warsaw.

By the Flanders Mail of this day we have received
the following important communications. We begin
now to see a faint prospect opening of the extinction
of the Holy Alliance at no very remote period.—
May it die without a struggle ! •
