Never was there any one, TO b: sure,
who used less management in that !.
soeefs; or who let all the admirers of the
FIenct revolution, within and without
all the admirers Of it, ] mean, as sys-
TEN of liberty yin more whimsical and
laughable situation. Every opinion for
WHICH they have been contenaing, IS now
completely trodden down, and tramPled
under foot, and held ont iii France to the
greatest possible contempt and derElon.
Tie honorable gentlemen or the otposftion
benches Fox and his paftyl have really
great reason to complain OF having been
so completely lefs in the lu CHI. There
is not even decent retreat provided for
them.
{" But though fuch is the treatment
which the principles of Z" the Rights OF
Man. and Of the holy duty OF lnfurrec-
rion," inst with in France, and on the
part of him who lhoud be their natural
protector, il is by no means the fame,
encouragement which he may choof. to
give them in other countries. Though
they ufe none of thefe goodssin France tor
home lconfumption, they fave always a
large ahortment by them ready FOR TO-
reign markets. TheIrj acobin orators are
NOT TO be looked form the CLUBS Of Len
don. There, they may talk Of eateier-
ing efKiags, with other language OF that
fort: but lhould any orator more fippant
than the ref cboofe TO hold forth in thar
train, in the city where the great con
ful relidcs, in the metropolis of iiberty, he
would foon put him in tiIence, in the way
that we fee adopted in the ign of the Il

in virtue of the Rights of Man, viii, def
potic power, can afford TO lanttion IN
preaching Of thofe doctrines in other coun
tries, Of which he will not fuRer the leait
whlper in his own. While he is at the

reconciliation, which always gain some

To preserve lover it is not enough,

I will fell, in lots from i to 80
acres each, tract Of LAND about five
miles from town. 1t begins at top of the
the Trough Hill, and runs on the top and
brow thereof, about one nile: afording
many beautiful ilsuations for country feals,
having profpeet. of the River, and a de-
!ightful valley, ard ieveral genslsmen's
fsats between. The heighth and airynels
of this land makes it extremely healthy,
and well adapted for the parPoic Of accom-
modating the inhabitants of Alexandria
with country ieats, when either any Goa
tagions dilorder prevails, or during the VII
client heats of the fummef.
One Lot of which will include
about 50 acres, has two fiery. brick
houle thereon, and other convenient QUE
houfes; a large paied garden, and an
orchard containing feveral hurdred Apple
and Peach Trees, with Ounce, Plumb,
Damion and fweet, and Morsl!a Cherries.
Another Lot has fmall hopfe and i'm

to things OF more importance. 1t is much
lafer refuge to dncoursge the Puriuit BY
proper reteryc, than to depend on our de-
fence upon the attack.
Women generally imagine they have
nothing to tear bur the pTelence Of the

two enemies to contend with at time,
their patton and the party. But when
the lover has retired the love Gill remains,
