1t will rise of itself in others if YOU hate |
your enemies, you will contract such a |
vicious habit of mind, as by degrees will |
break out upon those who are your friends |
or those who are Indifferent to YOU. l |
might here observe how admirably this
precePt OF morality (Which derives the
malignity of hatred from the passion it
self, and not from its object,) answers to
that great rule which was dictated to the |
world about an hundred years before |
this philosopher wrote; but instead of |
that, L shall only take notice, with a real |
grief OF heart, that the minds of MANY |
good men among us appear soured with
party principles, and alienated from one |
another, In such a manner as seems to
me altogether inconsistent with the die
tates either OF reason or religion. Zeal |
Tor public cause is apt to breed passions
in the breasts of virtuous persons, into |
which the regard of their own private
interest would never have betrayed |
them.
If this party spirit has so ill an eff |
feet on Our morals, it has likewise very |
great one upon our judgments. We Of |
ten hear poor insipid paper or PAM
Phlet cried up, and sometimes noble |
piece deprecated by those who are of |
different principle from the author.-I
One who is actuated by this spirit is al |
most under an incaPacity Of discerning
either real blemishes or beauties. A |
man of merit, in different principle, is
like an object seen in two different me-
diums, that appears crooked or broken,
however straight and entire it may be in
itself. For this reason there is scarce
person of any figure in England, who
does not go by two contrary characters,
as opposite to one another as light and |
darkness. knowledge and learning suf-
fer in a particular manner from this
strange prejudice, which at present pre-
walls amongst all ranks and degrees in |
the British nation. AS men formerly |
became eminent in learned societies by |
their parts and acquisitions, they now
distinguish themselves by the warmth |
and violence with which they espouse
their respective parties. Books are va
lued upon the like considerations and |
abusive scurrilous style passes for satire,
and dull scheme of party notions is
called fine writing.

Calumnes that have been never proved.
or have been often refuted, are the or
binary postulatums of these infamous
scrlbblers, upon which they proceed as
upon first principles granted by all men.
though In their hearts they know they
are false, or at best very doubtful. When
they have laid these foundations of sour
rlllty, 1t IS no wonder that their SUPER
structure is answerable to them. If tb;s.
shameless practice of the present ape
endures much longer, praise and re-
proach will cease to be motives of ac-
ton in good men.
"Ihere are certain periods of time in
all governments when this inhuman spi-
rit prevails. Italy was long torn in pieces
by the Guelses & Gibellines, and France
by those who were for and against the
League; but it is very unhappy for q
man to be born in such a stormy and
tempestuous season. 1t is the restless
ambition of artful men, that thus breaks
apeople into factions, and draws several
well-meaning persons to their interest
by sPecious concern for their country.
How many honest minds are filed with
uncharitable and barbarous notions, out
of their Zeal for the public good What
crueltles and outrages would they not
commit against men Of an adverse par
ty, whom they would honour and esteem,
IT, instead of considering them as they
are represented, they knew them as they
are Z Thus are persons of the greatest
probity seduced into shameful errors
and prejudices, and made bad men by
that noblest of principles, the love Of
their country. l cannot here forbear
mentioning the famous Spanish proverb,
If there were neither fools nor knaves
IN the world, all people would be of one
mind"
For my own part, could heartily
wish that all honest men would enter in
to an association for the support of one
another against the endeavours of those
whom they ought to look upon as their
common enemies, whatsoever side thew
may belong to. Were there such an
honest body of neutral forces, we would
never see the worst of men in great f.
cures of life, because they are useful to
a party; nor the bestunregarded, because
they are above practising those methods
which would be grateful to their faction.

THIRTY EIGHTH BULLETIN OF THE
GRAND ARMY.
FoSEE, Dec. S.


Prince Jerome, Commander of the army of
the allies, after cloGng the blockade of Glogau
and rafting batteries round the place, marched
with the Bavarian divliions Wrede and D. roi
towards Katfch to meet the Ruliians, and left
gen. Vandame and the Wirtemberg corps to
carry on the hege of Glugau. Some mortars
and fevcral pieces of cannon arr we'd on the Goth
Nov. They were Immediately formed into bat
teries, and after a few hours bombardment, the
place surrendered by capitulation.
The allied troops of the king Of Wirtemberg
have behaved very well. Two thoufand five

in confequence ordered Prince Jerome TO march

that place, which will ere long fall into our
power. The leven places of SileGa will be fuc-
cehively attacked and blockaded. Conlidering

The fmali fort of Cumbach, named PlaGen-
burgh, had been blockaded by a Bavarian bat
tai o. being provided with Proviiion for fever
a, months, there was no reafon for its furren-
dering. The Emperor got pieces of artillery
prepared at Cronach and Forcheim, for the
purpnfe Of battering that fort and obligng it to
lurrender On the cath Nov. % pieces were
mounted, which determined the Commandant
TO deliver up the place. M de Becker, Colonel
Of the s,h regiment of Bavarian infantry of the
