by forty men-After combat which
lasted half an hour, the arms ofthe repub-

number of mules, and seYeral prisoners.

fourteen dead on the field ofbatile, while

mr.. Printer,


Happening in company with
several ladies' few evenings since; the
conversation turned upon fashionable
piece Of the present female dress. gene
rally known by the name Of corsets. One
of the ladies, who was stiff advocate
for their use ;after expatiating upon their
merits, concluded by declaring; that
she should feel miserable without her
ors'e.s. Being great admirer of the
.lrcients | was not little nettled, to
hear so important and useful part Of
their armour, degraded even in name, to
an ugly. odious appendage to lady's
petticoat. A literary friend, who is e.
qually sensitive with myself upon the
subject, has given me the following def
milton of the words Corselet, and Corset.
which for the honor of the ancient war
rior, and the edifcation of the Modern
Belle, you will please publish.
CORsELET,
/ Pronounced in the French language,
Korcele; meant species of armour.
which covered the body Of soldier, who
used. only the Pike.
CORSET.
Pronouncedin French, korce, meant
a kind of dress that sets close to the
body and Of the same piece with the pet.
ticoat. As now used, it means tight
Jacket, made of linen, buckram or buck
skin, and by means of ackdle bone, steel
and rhite oak ,cood rendered almost as
|impenetrable as the ancient Corseiet.
