FOR THE ENQUIRER.
| will tell you story, SIR;
! A sailor once addressed letter to Phitoso.
phical Soce stating that. in an engagement
| one OF his legs had been shot off but that on
| tying the two pieces with piece of rope, they
became wonderfully mended, and rs whole as E,
yer. He suggested this as phenomenon, wor-
| thy of their consideration. Che Society imme-
dately went to work, to solve this extraordina-
| ry fact. One dwelt on the virtues Of tar, as a
! healing saive, another, on the virtues of bandage
lone on one thing, and another on another
when 10 letter was received by the next
mani, stating that he had forgotten to state fact,
| which might be of some Estke importance in the
| discussion, viz. that his srooden leg.
Ascertain the facts therefore, Gyst-before you
draw your corclusions-This is the fair and true
mode of proceeding-Those, who say tina. the of.
fer Of the mission to Russia was brought about
| by Mr.. Galatn, &c &c. ought to remember the
story of the wooden ieg.-cAIus.
| ~ The Lothair, which arrived at Boston,
left Liverpool he first OF February, but brings
| London dates to the 15th.-There is qvitc hcyoh
in th,s--can the merchants explain it. !
| az Look out for headvinds At ses-ressels
/ from London and Liverpool will be particularly
q
| round Cape-Horn, and the vessels will then en-
! ter our ports.--Do you take!
A brother type says, that the Federal prints are
| mad-see the royal physicians definition of m ID
ness &C erroneous stare of things.
Try the Federal prints by the test OF DR..
! Wiilis-and the verdict is. certainly, mad
ness.-Ehis mad doctor defines Insanity to
be that state, when " the mind is occupied
! upon some liked assumed idea, to the truth
| OF which it will pertinaciously adhere, in Cd
position to the htainem evidence Of its falsi-
! ty-Now what have the Federalists done |!
| They have assumed the idea of a French
Pdrsy IN this country--it is all ideal--8e yet
they have pertinaciously stuck to it, in spite
OF the Painese dictates of common sense
What is this but Insanity .--Clearly it merits
the straight waist-coast and water--Or, if
they like 1t better. we may dub it by the
name of Knavery.
| O~A Liverpool print of the 18th Feb.
says, that the Essex frigate, has sailed from
! rlymouth, tor Co7ues. where "she will wal,
:. a fortnight for Mr.. Pinkney's determination
as to hislreturn home''
The Regent has begun. badly enough.
The situation ofthe King. libra ting between
light and darkness, seems to paralyse all
MS eAerionS. ms Is, indeed, his only eX-
cuse--he has not only not changed his mea-
sures, but not even his ministers. His
Speech is surelyno very favorable symptom
OF his views---his encomiums ON the 6riH
am victory of Busaco. are rather out OF
Ihme-the notice which he takes of the u.
states, is neither one thing nor another
ne CAMS ouer his earnest wish for concili
| alton, without uttering one wish to rccant
the atrocious acts of his predecessors. On
the contrary. the honor Of the crown and
the maritime rights of the United King
dom, are to be most scrupulously weighed
t-Where is our donor, and our rights 1?
