ADAMs'S REVIEW OF WORKS OF
a. FISHER .qyJfES. e''
EURIPIDES.

A " Reviery Of Works Of FIsHgR .AMss,
COMPLIED by a number Of his Friends" is now
publishing in several newspapers. In these
Remarks, from the pen of JoHs Q. ADAMS,
Esq. the patriotick reader will find much to
applaud. The style is elegant, luminous,
and easy; the sentiments correct the reas-
oning forcible. The observations exhibit
mind fraught with erudition, and deeply vers-
ed in political knowledge. The writer has
done much to expose the arts and designs of
those who collected and prepared the materi-
ais of this book for the press, and plainly 1e-
monstrated that their publication was merely
to subserve the interest of that party, which
is assiduously endeavonring to sap the foun-
dations. of American liberty. This Review
is calculated to obviate the effects which Mr.
AMEs's Works may produce, and ought to be
disseminated wherever they have found their
way. The Reviewer has, perhaps, in few
instances, been rather severe, considering
that II never was the intention of Mr. AMEs
to become a publick author, and that he now
sleeps liz the mansions of peace. But this
is, in some measure necessary, in consequence
of the sinister use that has been made of
these papers. The Review is powerful an
tidotc to the poison infused into the unwary
mind by the writings Of Mr. AMEs, SO much
extolled blythe friends and cmissaries of aris-
tocracy. Would the Editor of the Rhode
Island Republican, adorn his columns with
this production of Mr.. ADAMS, he would rem
der far more essential services to the cause
OF freedom, than by filing them with the
I" Correstordence" of the ci-devant Presi-
dent. EDGAR. &
In the observation of the, writer on the
subject ,of Mr.. Adams's Correspondence, VIC
certainly, acquicsce and shall discontinue
the publication OF these letters, as soon as we
have finished the Answers to Mr.. Kalkocn's
Queries. We do not, however, mean to
admit, that Mr.. Adams's Correspondence,
is devoid of interest we think it pos
scsses much valuable and interesting matter.
The Editors of the Boston Patriot are now
publishing the work in Numbers, which will,
collectively, form valuable addition to the
Libraries of the politicians OF our country-and
We sincerely recommend to every man, who
feels an interest in our national independence,
to subscribe for this work, which is faithful
history of the difficulties our country had to
contend with in its infant struggle against
tyranny and despotism.--Ed. Rehab.

APPEAL TO TIE PEOPLE.

WHEN Genet, the French minister, DUR

ican people, the vengeance Of the then adrnin-
istratioa, aided by the British faction resident
IN this country, were poured out upon the
Kcpu6lick o. France, and upon the author
OF the act, with all the malcvolencc peculiar
to thcis insidious designs. We were then

the people, securing their patronage, their
confidence, and their appreciation by a falla-
cious misrepresentation Of facts and circum.

British Influence, offered by this accredited
l;npoy to our government, Is an insult Offer
ed to the whole American nation. Every in
dividual Of the community was loudly called

Eleventh Congress, eighty members appear
ed on the floor of the House. At IL O'Clock
the Speaker called to order, and tho Clerk
proceeded to call the members.
1t being decided that there was quorum
present, Mr.. Dawson. made a motion to the
following effect, " That : committee be APP
pointed on the part of the House to Join
committee OF the Senate to wait ON the Pres
dent sof tbs United States, TO inform him
that the. house had formed quorum, and
were ready to receive any communication
which hc might have TO Offer" f'
"A committee of two was appointed on the
part Of the House, who after returned,
and the Speaker informed that the Senate
had not vet forried a quorum.
Mr. Ely then rose, and observed that as
the Senate had not formed quorum, the
House could not with propriety, enter on a.
ny business of consequence. He, therefore,
made moion for adjournment. Lost.
Mr.. Nelson made the usual motion for
supplying the members with Newspapers,
which was carried. <-
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Nelson,
making the hour of | l in the morning the
stated hour for the meeting Of the House

GENIUS.

M GENIUS exhibits itself in the pursuit of
various objects. TO define it, therefore, as
belonging to the Bard and Orator only, is a
giaring absurdty. Poetry and rhetorick are,
most assuredIy, rhdracerisdeks of genius, but
not more SO than the abstfusc sciences. The
mathematician, metaphysician, and natural
ist, haye as high pretentions to this irradia-
ton OF divinity" as he who mounts the ros-
srun, or strys Ia "Helicon's empowering
shades Euclid and Archemidcs have equal
claims TO original talents with Horace, Longi-
nus, aud Cicero. The mental energies Of
Newton and Locke, we're illustrious as those
of Milton and Chatham. Linnrus stands as
elevated upon the ground Of genius, as
Thompson and Lavoirsicr and Lcibhizt,
rank with Racine, Corncillc, and Masillon.
