From the east, from the west, from the north
and from the south, we have nothing of novelty
to present to our readers. In other words, eve
ry thing like the advancing season, is tranquil
and serene. The flowers already begin to put
forth their blossoms

While the munifcenoe of the Deity is thus I'M
folding in his works--while we shall so soon be-
enveloped with sach houndless variety of beauty
and Of fragrance--while the mild and genial suns
are preparing to warm into life and maturity the
future treasures of autumn,-shall we complain
that no novelty is presented! True, this is no
novelty the mercies of our heavenly Father are
as old a. the creation that we inhabit.-When
we complain OF want ofnoVelty, we confess that
We are weary fsueh persevering benevolence.

as Joye himself does, Jove would meier be quiet.,s

.faofher nezY dfonsfer.-Dr. MrTcHILE
has published letter from JAMES CRAw-
FORD to him,giviBg an account OF an animal
lie had discovered in the Indian hunting
prouHd near the mouth of the river St.
Peters Going ashore with TWO of the
hunters, at rock forming cave, noticed
ty Carver, his attention was attracted by a
noise like The bellowing of buff,lo at dis
lance. Following the sound to the mouth
OF the cave, they encountered a prodigions
otrnsnt, probably feet in length, and Of
propor,ionable thickness, with four short
legs, somewhat resembling the alligator.
Ills head disproporlionably large, with
glossy eyes situated towards the back OF
the head. The back was ola shining black,
covered with strong and apparently impen-
eiraale scales. TIE belly was yariegated
with diGcreut colours It's tail on perceiv-
ing Us was coiled over the back, except
when il beat the ground, which was ac-
companied by the believing which at first
attracted US. 1t may be inquired Cssys Mr..
On why we did not fire on il, which can be
most easily answered by imagining the To-
describabie agitation which the menancing
attitude Of such an extraordinary creature
would excite. The whole party stood with
their muskets cooked, transfixed with ter
ror, until il quietly glided into The recess of
the cave. But be assured, Sir, he adds1
tina. we have not abandoned the idea of OBJ
tsining it the ensuing spring.

To the Public.

I A n unusual sensibility has been excited
~ in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, &C
companied by fac Smiles of the signatures
of those illusirious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced 10 the world We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as if we were
ushered into the immediate presence OF
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time TO participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of so awful cri-
sis-IIostiIe armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in conilagration--carnage and
death in its most frightiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ccptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last So
lemnly appealing TO the God Of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought TO be free, sovereign and inde-
pendent. These ilustrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ticn OF grateful people. But it would be
consoling to the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention Of the tomb. TO become
more intimately acquainted with their re.
evolutionary benefactors. We love TO dwell
on the features of such men, snatched by
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent ieats OF their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage
ment is given, 10 publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is com
ple:ed. The work will he executed in a
style not inferior to any European produc-
tions, and the portraits by masters Of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami.
liarity with the privations and hardships
they had to undergo, and whose well known
talents will DE sufficient to ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares TO promise is, that he will en-
deayor to deserve the confidence of his
countrvmen, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve 10 illustrate the characters and TO en-
rich the biography Of those founders OF the
American Republic.-Those who are in
possession Of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan OF the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
