THE TIP OF THE ELBOW.

thirty years since, the elbow was the
part OF fine woman she was the most tena-
cious to conceal and protect from public
view: 1t was first covered with a cambria
sleeve, small plated, and wristband and
lace rutfie; then three falls or hounces OF
embossed muslin, or rich lace; then three
falls OF rich brocade or satin, ornamented
with fringe, covered them; and to COM
plete the dress, and to protect the tip of the
elbow, piece oflead large enough to make
a dozen bullets, hung pendant; and there
was nothing more frequent in the annals Of
chivalry, than for the favored lover to steal
his MISTRESS lead to blow out the brains eff
he had any of his rival. Flounces of course
led the fair wearer into varietA of unplea-
SAINT situations suck as in the ecstacy Of
having won a critical game at whist, whis-
king the candlestick, which stood at her
elbow, into the lap of her fair neighbor;
setting fire to the .chevanx -de-frize, that
formed a rampant iound her bosom, and
throwing the whole assembly into confusion;
or sweeping the coffee cup and its contents
on the white satin small clothes of birth
day beau. But what were those to the
mischances at dinner? A fowl was to be
carved, and by the time it was completed,
the elbow apPendages had absorbed the
plate of soup, to which the fair wearer had
been helped, and she was obliged, to submit
to the modification of having her founces
wrapped in napkin and the whole economy
Of her dress destroyed for the evening.
After a variety of such misfortunes, deep
rules and fopnces were exploded, with the
exception of a court dress. But the protec-
ton of the elbow was still attended To-
Long sleeves were introduced for undress,
and the puckered cuff, lined with buckrann,
brought three inches below the elbow, for
full dress however, the buckram lining
was such an enemy to bending the arm with
grace, that the cuffs shortened, until it just
covered the elbow; when public mourn
ing taking place, it was discovered thai.
round fat elbow looked very pretty through
black Grape transparency and, the mourn
ing over, few well-fed bellies bravsd the
storm of envy, by showing the tip OF their
elbows ;and perseyered in doing so, IN des-
pite Of the remarks Of their fair friends
Miss Y. is pretty girl, but her bare el-
bows give her such bold appearance.
g Did YOU observe Miss M.--how vulgar,
Just escaped from wash tub" But imPe-
rative fashion issued her fiat, and old and
young, fat and lean, have not only shewn
their elbows, but their arms; and when we
reject that the exposure of the tip OF tht
Clutches Of Rutland's shoulder, under mas
querade guise, set the city of Dublin once
in fame, how can we wonder, in this agt
of naked fashions, that the torch of Cupid
shoultbe so often lighted; from the TIP OF
every part of beautiful woman--from the
tip Of the finger to the arm-plt.

We have already mentioned the re.
port. that this man, who made so con-
siderable appearance in the campaign
of Portugal, WAS born in Ireland. A
correspondent wishes us to give inser-
ton TO the following account on the
subject
Janot is the son of school-master,
near Athy, in the county of Kildare,
of the name of Julian and ne now has
brother, a SERGEANT in the Waterford
militia, and an uncom nonly good look
ing, powerful, and well conducted man.
He has sister, too, who some years
since received letter from him, in
tinating that fortunate occurrence
in the field had introduced him to the
favor of Bonaparte.
Junot is an excellent scholar, and for
some years was an usher in the school
of Mr.. Bum near Athy, where he was
much liked, though rather too fond of
fighting. He attended all the boxing
matches in the country /; and although
he never entered the lists for money,
would for love" break the bones of
any person who, from the same mo-
tive, chose to contend with him.

SIR,
hsstened to communicate to the Ins,i-
tute, in their sitting on Monday last, the
letter which Mr.. Jefferson was pleased TO
address, and which you had the complai-
sance TO deliver to me.
The institute, penetrated with gratitude
for IN new mark OF interest which its IL
lustrious mem6er has manifested, has re-
solved that an expression Of thanks shall
be solemniy addressed to him by its proper
ofhcers. II has also engaged NE to testify
TO Mr.. Jefferson the value il attaches 70
his attention. The Institute has decided,
that the fossil bones and other objects Of
natural history, which Mr.. Jefferson has
had the goodness TO put at It's disposal, shall
he placed in the Museum of Natural Histo-
W the only place where the public can
conveniently and usefuIly examine this Gne
present Of Mr. Jefferson.
In consequence Of this decision Of the In.
stitute, ishall Immediately make known to

.->may we be grateful for his services and
revere him for his patriotism and his vir-
tue.
4th. James Madison, the illastrious sue
cessor of immortal Jefferson the purity of
his heart will be tested by an mexcepti-
onabie administration, and the plaudits OF
future ages will do justice to his merit.
5th. Thomas Jefferson--As long as ia.
Tents, virtue and patriotism have a claim
on the affections, he will stand highest In
the hearts of his countrymen.
9th. Benjamin Franklin--Thc man on
whose memory every American delights to
dwell; may we do homage to his greatness
by emulating his virtues.
7th. The Congress of the United States
MAY the acts Of the general government
never derive their tone from the clamors
of faction.
9th. The present administration psr-
suing the policy of the last, may its acts
remove the unfounded suspicion of our no.
thern brethren, and teach them that the
eye of the general government looks only to
the general good.
s,h. The Malitia of the United States
They will whenever occasion requires,
devote their lives to the cause of their
country and repeat to tue hirelings of ~.
raDny lessen which they have already
taught them.
TO-. Perdieition to the plans of those
who mediate a dissolution of the union.
IL. John Randolph, an apostate from
republican principles; he has forgotten his
constituents; may his constituents (but not
his Cody forget him.
IL. Embargoes may they always prove
to republican governments an efectual SUBJ
stitute for expensive navies.
IL. Great Britain-we are her rival in
greatness, may we never contend with her
for pre-eminence in corruption.
IA. The late accommodation of differen-
ccs between England and the U. States if
punc.uslly complied with by the former,
may the latter never violate her plighted
promises.
Is, The late orders in council if inten-
ded to operate on American commerce,
may they be met by an embargo, and that
Embargo be enforced at every hazard.
is. Domestic manufactures they are
productive of Independence and happiness ;
let not the specious propositions OF a faith
less nation, hush for moment the sound OF
the spinning wheel.
IL. Natures proudest boast, the FAIR
may they prefer the simple attire wrought
by their own hands to all the finery Which
foreign workshops afford.
The Sth of July, the birthday of Ame-
rican Independence, was celebrated in this
city with more than the usual festivty.
The toasts drank at the different public
places are unayoidably postponed till our
next.
