THOMAS PAINE.

The celebrated Thomas Paine is no more.s
This unfortunate being has passed through
many checkered scene, and felt sad VIZ
cissitude of fortune. Yet, his life and wri-
tings have had a powerful influence on the
strange and wonderful events which have
distinguished the present age. Though his,
birth was humble, and his manners We're
ungracious, he had long been noticed by
the courtly and the great, and long caressed
by the splendid and the rich. though his
education was scanty and imperfect, such
was his love of knowledge, and such was
his progress in the arts of composition, that
his manly persuasive style has been initiated
and admired by men OF literary regulations.
Without the assistance Of patrons or OF
friends, he found an easy access to the ca.
binet of statesmen, and his creative spirit
has often been revoked from the recesses-
of obscurity, to impart those counsels which
have guided the destinies Of nations. Such
indeed, was the power Of his genius, that
the incumbrances of fortune were shaken
from his mind like "dcw drops from the
lions NAME and the portals OF fame were
opened at his call. But alas, poor human
nature, with the faculties OF an angel were

On Saturday last departed this life IN the
sd year Of his age, Captain, Henry Piercy,
of this town. He served with reputation in
the revolutionary army, and was known to
the society of Cincinnati, who have contrl-
buted their mite to alleviate his distresses,
under wounds received in achieving the IN
dependence of his country. He departed
this transitory life in the bosom OF his tMends
who knew his worth, and yesterday paid
the las. tribute of respect to his remains
The members Of Lodge No. %, of which
he was a member, accompanied by their
brethren of Brooke Lodge, No. AZ, met at
the lodge room, on the court house square,
from whence they were escorted BY the dit
.ferent uniform companies of militia to the
house of the deceased, where the procession
was formed, and moved to the Episcopal
burial ground, where his remains were IN
tered with the honors Of masonry and OF

the character he supported amidst the vlcis-
STUDIES of fortunes frowns-for as he lived

can only participate in the ditresses OF dis

The French revolution arose, and the de-!
mocrats hailed it as the dawning OF the mil
lenium while the tederalists viewed Il as
an open and yawning hell which as it In
gulphed the social, the moral and political
worlds, would disgorge its pollution till e.
very nation on the globe would be blasted
by its influences !; anil till its menstfous
mass should be consolidated into despo-
tism, which would sit like an incubus upon
the heart of Europe, and WELD an iron soep-
ire from the equator 10 the arctic circle
from the orient TO the occldent sun. Whose
wisdom predominates The federalists
were the authors Of the proclamation Of neu-
trality in ninety four; the democrats vio-
lenty opposed it. It is now agreed on all
hands that this measure was the salvation
Of the country. The funding system reviv-
ed public credit, preserved pubic faith &C
cumulated capital gave protection TO IN
dustry encouragement to enterprise; and
wings 10 commerce. This was exclusively
federal measure and was carried by a
small majority in the teeth Of democracy.
"Give honor to whom honor is due" and
federalism has it all. The democratic OPP
position, one and all, swore tooth and nail,
that the British treaty battered the rights of
the ocean. Facts are the best comments.
That treaty found us the seventh commerce.
al nation in the world. and left Us, not only
the second but formidable rival to the first.
We have experienced little prosperity since
lis expiration, and thick darkness surround
our future prospects. Who Judged rightly
upon this subject? Surely not the demo-

The Great Battle.-.An Austrian official
detailed account Of the battle OF Esslingen,
has been published at Prague, in Bohemian
t.penfv.1 foe PAGES, quarto. The arch duke
Charles states his forces on that day at 1913
Gl,atta,ons, and 148 squadrons, and his artll-
lery at 2S8 pieces. The loss Of che Austrian
army is stated at 81 superior officers, and
419e inferior officers and soldiers killed =
and 663 officers, and 1861 soldiers wound
ed among these AZ generals arewoundfd,
and the names of princes Coioredo and Ro
han are mentioned. From the disadvan-
taaes under winch Bonaparte fought this
battle, according to his own account in the
tenth bulletin, his loss must have been at
least double to that Of his enemy, and OF
course about $4,000 killed and wounded.--
Another such battle and Napoleon is Iost,as
all mankind will be convinced that he is
not invincible, and all the world will at once
be up in arms against him.
