DISSUASIVE FROM SATIRE.

To write for fools who neither read or think ?

Can penetrate a Caput form'd of lead.—

BOSTON, August ii.
the -COLUMBIA.
It is with real pleafuue we announce, the fafe
arrival, in this port, on Monday lad, of the Ship
Columbia, Capt. Gray, from a voyagje of adven
sure to the North Weft Coaftof America.
I his Ship, in"tompany with the Sloop Wafll
ington, failed 011 the 30th September, 1787, and
the year following reached their place of deltina
uon from whence the Columbia failed with
urs , which Ilie disposed of in China, on her re
turn home.
To Meflrs: Barrel], Brown, Bulfinch, Hatch,
and rintard, who planned the voyage, their coun
try in indebted, for this experiment in a branch
of commerce before uneflayed by Americans :
And to their care in providing every necetlary
for the comfort and convenience of the crews,
may, under Heaven, be attributed the extraordi
nary degree of health which they have enjoyed ;
having loss but one man, by sickness, since they
failed.
_ Their country is also tinder obligation to the
intrepid Navigators who have conducted this
voyage—whose urbanity and civility have secu
red the friendfliipofthe aboriginals of the coun
try they visited ; and whose honor and intrepi
dity have commanded the protection and refpedl
of the European Lordr of the foil, to the American
t ' lat another nation hath been for
bidden to be unfurled on the coast.
The Columbia and Wafliington are the firft A
merican vessels who have circumnavigated the
globe—and the Washington, which is only of 90
tons burthern, is the firft Sloop of any nation e
ver sent on so great a voyage.
On the Columbia's arriving opposite the Cas
tle, (he saluted the flag of the United States
with 13 guns ; which was immediately returned
therefrom—and on coming to her moorings in
the harbour fired a federal salute—which a great
concourse of citizens aflembled on the several
yvharfs, returned with three huzzas, and a liear
iy welcome.
We are told, that one of the natives of the
Island of Ovvhyhee, arrived in the Columbia.
NEW-HAVEN, August \ I
On the 10th of last month, about four o'clock in the afternoon,
(the wind blowing frefh, and the weather being thick and foggy)
the (loop Friendfliip of this por*t, John Ward, matter, ran on a
reef of rocks, near St Peters, a little to the westward of New
foundland, and was loft with her cargo of pine lumber ; by which
unfortunate accident, Mr. Richard Tritton, owner and fupcrcargo
of the velTcl, was drowned ; the reft of the company got on the
rocks, where they remained about 24 hours, (without any suste
nance) when they were taken off by some people from the shore,
who treated them with great uukindnefs, refuting to let them have
any of the articles driven on Ihorc from the wreck ; —and after
fluttering a variety of hardftiips they got to St. Peters, where they
took pailage in a vcflel bound to New-York, which landed the
mate and people, at one of the points of our harbour, last Sunday,
butCapt. Ware proceeded in the vessel t/> New-York.
Mr. Tritton, was a native of Halifax, about 40 years of age, has
resided several years m this city, and has left a widow and two
children. ————
PETERSBURG, August j
On Saturday lafl, the Sheriffs of the different
counties in this Diftri<ft, met at Brunfwick Court
house, and after comparing the polls, returned
William B. Giles, as duly eledted a Representa
tive to Congress, in the room of the late Theodoric
Bland.
N E W-Y O R K, August 18.
Government is formed in order to promote the general good,
j and that government is best which tends most directly to that end.
1 The best security against the abufQof the powers of government,
i. knowledge.—lt is indeed highly probable that a bad govern
| ment will extinguish knowledge among the people, or that know
t ledge will reform a bad government. But tho an enlightened
people would certainly attempt the reform, they would risk and
fuffer much in the undertaking—Even fucccfs has its dangers —
for in the period of fermentation of men's minds, the love of no
velty would conftautly demand, and an acute ingenuity would
' supply an infinity ofucw (chemes, which would prove pernicious
—Efety one would be an innovation, and every innovation in
■ some degree unlettles the ftne of security which men form focie
; ties to enjoy—This uncertain state is dangerous to liberty.—-A
wife people therefore who enjoy liberty* have much at hazard,
when they listen to those who advise to weaken their government.
But when the government is derived from the people, it (hould
be considered as tha fafe>-guard of liberty. Instead of abftraft
/ 'pinions, let us appeal to fads which we all, remember, and most
of us with pain —In 1786, the government of the Union was no
'lore than a lhadow—drms were taken up in the eastern part of
ie Unired States. Wjs liberty more fecurethan at this period ?
Those who tall ihemftTves champions for liberty, and who exhort
■11s to take away part of the powers of the National Government,
• I "> as to brine if nearly to the admired standard of the confederati
on, will deliberate whether the) are not doing all in their 'power
a. ainft our liberties. This is the government of the people—by
educing its powers thev would diminish their own. They can
only ast as a body by means of' a government. When govern
ment is difTolvcd, every cnan being reduced to ast as an individu-
I, becomes nothing—The Deople have always been cheated by
he tale that they arc to get the power which government loses—
wheieas, their ambitious leaders exercifc it, and the people have
| onimonJy loft much of what thev had before.

NEW-YORK, AUGUST 18
Last Thursday evening the St. Andrew's Society of the State o
Vew-York held their quarterly meeting at the City-Tavern. The
society, anxious of shewing their refpeel to the c laratler of Col.
M'Gilli vray, availed ti emfelves of his pretence in this city,
and unanimously' ele£ltd % him an honorary m. iriber of the society,
and immediately after a committee was appointed to cortdutfc him
to it. The Colpne) was introduced to the presiding officers m
their places, and received the compliments qf the fpciety. When
the bufipefs of the society was finiih d, he partook of a collation
provided for the occcafion, and mingled with great affability in
the feftivity of the evening. An opcafional song was prepared
and sung by a vifyiog friend, and addrrffed to the Chief in term*
so artless, and yet so affe&ing, as touched the hearts of the mem
bers with sensations uncommonly pleasurable.
The society were honored with the company of tlUfc" Hon.
Samuel Jqhnst<?n, Senator of the United States from North-
Caralma, who had previouHy been elc&eid an honorary member
by a meeting of the society specially called for that purpose.
On Saturday last The President of the Uni
ted States—His Excellency GoV. Clinton—The
Secretary of State—Hon. Judge Blair—Colonel
Humphreys, Major Jackson, and Mr. Nelson,
embarked on board the Hancock Packet, Capt.
Brown, on a tour to Rhode lfland.
Extra ft of a letter from Bojlon, Augufl 2.
" This day the ship Columbia arrived here— the
particulars of her voyage you will ffee in the pa
pers.—This mercantile enterprize does hono\ to
the concerned.—There is no attempt too ardu
ous for the adventurous spirit of Americans
The sons of Columbia traverse the globe by
sea and land ; and nothing bounds them but the
limits of creation. To what eminence mull such
a people attain under the fofteringcare of a wife,
just and energetic government ; but the misfor
tune ol the world is, that there is scarcely oni
good government in it. You will perceive by some
late publications, that violent suspicions are
entertained that a want of redlittide and real pa
triotifui have stained some recent transactions in
ours, while in its infancy. Should these things
be true, the felfifh, unprincipled, avaricious
wretches will find that excrations will follow
them as their shadow, so long as anyone remains
to utter curses—but for the honor of human na
ture, and of our country, I hope better things."
The lottery mania appears to rage with uncom
mon violence. It is said there are nearly twen
ty lotteries now 011 foot in different States. The
faleof tickets has been uncommonly rapid. Lot
teries have been formed, published, the ticket!
fold, and drawn in the Courle of 10 or rj days.
The rage for adventuring however begins to a
bate, and it now takes months to comple.nt, what
has been tranfadied in a few days. Odd numbers
have been so very fortunate, especially if fold to
a very poor man, who borrowed the money, or
parted with his coat to procure the ticket, that it
is recommended to the fabricators of lotteries in
future, to designate every ticket by such number
°nly—the sale would be immensely expedited by
the meafore. So exceedingly fti ong was the
faith of a certain person in odd numbers, that he
purchased every ticket in a late lottery, whose
number contained three threes. He however
paid his full fhai e of the dedutfiion for the bene
fit of the lottery ; but he imputed his misfortune
to an extraordinary run of good luck which at
tended the intervening odd numbers.
There are some advantages which result from
lotteries: A person for 6 weeks drank one dram
less every morning, in order to save money
enough to buy part ot a ticket.
The Adl for the relief of Adam Caldwell, title
of which was published in our last, did not pass
the Senate, but was referred to the next felfion.
