then say what is and has been the chaFac
ter of The enemies Of religion.
The morals of Rochester and Wharton
need no comment. Woolston was gross
blasphemer. Bount solicited his sister-in
law TO marry him, and being refused, shot
himself FiAdal was Infamous for vice in
general, aud a total want Of principle.
Voltare, in a letter still remaining, reques-
ted his friend D'Alembert TO tell for him
direct and palpable lie; D'Alembert, in
his answer, informed HIM he had done SO.
he also profasscd 10 believe the Catholick
religion, although at the same time lie
doubted the existence Of COP. Rous-
seau lived for years in habitual adultry.
Hume died as fool dieth the day before
his death he spent IN pitiful and Affected
unconcern about this tremendous subject !;
playing at whist, reading Lucian's dia-
iogues, and making several silly attempts al
wit concerning his interview with Charon,
the heather terryman Of Haes. Collins,
though he had no belief in Christianity, yet
qualified himself for civil office by partaklng
Of the sacrament. Shatiesbury did the
same, and the same is done by hundreds Of
infdcIs TO this day. Goodwin was not only
lewd character, but the unblushed advocate
OF ewdness. AS TO L. Pane, it is well
known that he was plotane wealer,
drunkard and debauchee. And ii we look
around and mark the characters OF those a.
mong ourselves, who reject revelation and
ridcuIe its institutions, II will be impossi-
Die 10 find one good character, infidels them
selves being judges not one who is not o.
penly profane, or iRmoral IN one respect CT
another. Now is it possible that such men
can be impartial inquirers after truth Is it
posslbleth without bias, they would ex-
anime the holy religion OF The Bible Is it
possible that these, and such men, should be
the only correct teachers and apostles OF re-
hgion and morality, whist Newton, a
Boyle, Locke, Hale, an Addison and
thousand others, eminent for science, tor
character for every virtue ornamental 10 hu.
manitY, should be the dupes Ut priests and
slaves OF superstition II cannot be.
will conclude, gentlemen, by intreating
you to aspire after true ana vial religion, IN
us practical effects upon your hearts and
lives. Without this, the. name and protes
sion viii be vaIn. This viii give evidence
of the truth Of christianity more convincing
and more comfortable than any other. II
IS inns alone winch can give you peace and
Joy IN life, hope and triumph in death, and
after death, glory, honour, and immortality,

IL - Lie
FELLOW ScRIBBLERs,
WE know the goodness of our cause
Deserves from human kind applause
Yet be it still our farther aim,
To gain the praise we dare not claim.
The best design, if i'll pursued,
Must seem al last but TO intrude
Then let at once both means and end,
TO some great object ALWAYS tend.
Without one spark of native fire,
TO WOO the Muse none ought aspire
The tdneless line will but disgrace
Your rambling pen, thus out of place.
Iis true the press, submissive still,
Stands ready, waiting for your viii /;
Yet why, impatient, out Of breath,
This noble steed, thus run to death.
In politics ] would advise,
Amidst these trembling times, be wise;
This needful lesson learn with care,
vi all extravaganza beware.
The federal side, no doubt, is right,
lis prOy'd by reasons strong and bright
Forc'd aHguments we do not want,
Plain common feelings these supplant.
Then why 20 trick should we descend
SO great an interest TO defend
ScurrlIty, abuse, and all,
That by still harder names we call,
Be left to those, so closely prcss'd,
To hold ground, the good detest.
Through honest means, cause like ours
WIN stand, sustaln'd by higher powers.
If sweet Religion be your theme,
Avoid here also each extreme
Let not enthusiasm take place,
Of solid reason, and Of grace
Let no distorted thought, or speech
Thy native, sober wits impeach
For know, the world stands gaping wide,
For fair occasions to decide.
Now turn the scale, that we may see
The point, in which we best agree.
Ii not allow'd to rise too high,
Reflect. that danger still is nigh;
'Tis possible, we grant, TO sink
Too low, and stand on ruins brink.
Then seek the middle path to gain,
And this invIncibly maintain.
Whatever subject rouze your pen,
The weapon use like able men.
Let prudent age, and vivid youth
Become the champions of truth.
Let talents, learning, zeal unite
Their various, yet consistent lghts
The important secret to reveal
Of private good, and public veal.
Correct, and classical, and strong,
Not stify prun'd, nor over long,
Each sentence should, With case, convey
Precisely what we mean to say.
Now, tho the hemisphere OF sense,
With these our tolls might we'll dispense !;
And though our literary fate,
Condemn US to low estate
Yet who can tell, but future years,
As long as yonder blaze appears,
Amidst a Jealous worlds disdain,
Shall prove, we have noL ljy'd in vain.

E2-tract eta letter dafed 7ih Juiy. from
Planter IN Florida, To his friend IN
this Gig.
You may feel interested in what you
see III the newspapers relative to the
situation of this country nine-tenths
Of the good people of this province, are
disposed to peace and quietness, and
II any turbulent fellows should appear
amongst US, they will be very roughly
handled, From the communications |
have had with the leading characters
OF the country, it is my decided opinion
that they will not attempt to form any
separate or independent government,
but rally round and support the present
order of things, that is the old Spanish
government, and no other, until We
know who we really belong to.

We learn BY the Portuguese brig
from St. Michaels, that very melan-
choly scene took place on the Gath of
June in the village of Cozar, situated
on the west point, about q miles from
the town ofSt. Michael's. On that day
an earthquake destroyed the whole VII
lage and when the shock had subsi-
ded, nothiI. ], was to be seen but water
apparently boiling out Of the earth.
Some of the distressed families in the
riclghbourhood fed to the mountains
for shelter, and others to ST. Michael's
where great approximations prevailed.
Many Of the rocks were split asun-

Since had the pleasure Of writing
you on the lst inst. have heard that
it is supposed and feared BY many a.
mericans at Paris, who have property
depending, that an order on the part
Of the government viii be issued 10 re-
yoke the decision Of the Council Of Pri-
yes ALREADY made, where the co7l1a7onise
AaS been made zvith the cahfors, and pre-
vent any future rati6cations BY said
Council. 1t is said, that when the en-
peror was at Dnnklrk, of late, he saw
two American ships preparing 10 sail,
inquired the cause, and found they had
arranged with their captors, when he
ordered Them Setzed Immediately Ii
would appear by this, that the giving
up any part Of the cargoes TO the Amev-
leans is contrary to the meaning and
spirit ofthe late DEGREES. The amount
Of the thing il, that if the Council cam
not ratifv the compromise, if tried and
not condemned to the captors, then The
government roiH Segue5ter the property
as they do those no. bro't in as prizes.

After despoiling The king Of Prussia (who
is pitied by mob 'dy) Of the greater part Of
lis dominions, N Apollyon levied an extra
ordinary contribution of some millions on
the wretched monarch, who it seems was
unable to payi But as N Apollyon "wsnts
money and must have it, the Pruss an kin
gee was directed to bo'rozH il of the Dutch.
The cunning Dutchmen smoked the trick,
and declined making the loan, alledging
that they did not know how soon N'Apon-
yon might seize the remainder Of the prus-
sian territory. But it was resolved not ia
let the Mynheers get off thus. A very Gu
rlous diplom attic farce is acted, IN which
n Apollyon's minister tells the kiRgee of
Prussia's minister that TO remove ali 5crr-
pies fror the minds OF the Dutch, tits mas
ter Nap. guarantee the infegrsy u what
is left OF the Prusslan dOminions, and tfat
The Mynheers cannot, after this, refuse him
the money. The poor IDutchmen are still
dissatisfied, knowing ths exact value Of
French promises bat they are per farce o.
biiged to submit TO this nezO metkoL Of shear-
iEg the sleep
