labour Palma negata macrum, doriata reducit opimum. Hor. Tofink in Jkame, orjwell with pride, , As the gay palm is granted or Ueny'd -Irancis. THE wit is condemned to pass his hours—those hours ■which return no more, in atttmpting that who. he cannot affeCt, or in colleCliug materials which he af terwards disc overs to bs unfit for use ; but themechan ic and the hujbandman know that the work which they perform will always bear the fame proportion to The time in which they are employed, and the diligence which they exert. Neither is regard of intellectual equally certain with that of corporal labor : The artificer,for the ma nufacture which he fiitifhesin a day, receives a certain sum ; but the wit frequently gains no advantage from a performance at which.he has toiled many months, either because the town is not disposed to judge of his merit, or because he has not suited the popular tajts. It has been often tbferved, that not the value of a man's income, but the proportion which it bears to his expencis, juflly denominates him rich or poor ; and that it is not so much the manner in which he lives, as the habit of life he has contracted, which renders htm happy or wretched. For this reason, the labor of the mind even when it h adequately rewarded, does not procure means of happiness in the fame proportion as that of the body : They that sing at the horn, or whijfle after the plough, w'tfh not for intellectual entertain ment !If they have plenty of wholesome food, o net repine at tht inelegance; of their table, nor are they less hapby because they are uot treated with ceremon ious refpeCi, and fervtd with silent celerity. The scholar is always confdered as becoming a gentleman by his education ; and the wit as conferring honor up on his company, however elevated by their rank or fortune ; they are, therefore, frequently admitted to scenes of life very different from their own ; they par take of pleasure which they cannot hope to purchase ; and many fuperfiuities become necessary, by the grati fication of wants, which in a lower clafsthey would ne ver have known- VIENNA, J lily io. WEDNESDAY evening last arrived here the Prince de Hesse Hombourg, Capt. in the re giment Stein, with the circumstantial relation of the affair of the 26th of June near Kalafat. Gen. Clairfait, in order to drive the Turks from the Lefler Wallachia, had fallen upon them sword in hand, and after a very obilinate 1 efiftance, in which they displayed their wouted valor, they were completely routed, leaving 1 500 men either killed on the field, or drowned in the Danube.— The loss on our fide has been comparatively tri vial- LONDON, July 29. The cause. above all others, which has render ed the navy of Great Britain always superior to the French, an-d still more superior to the Span iards is, that the profeflion of the sea has con stantly, amnngft us, been coniideredas a diftincft one. The fleets of Spain are generally led by of ficers pofleifing court interest—who from their education know something of naval as well as other tadiics—but who in many instances never made a voyage in their lives, nor ever saw a fleet in line of battle.

This vefTel is bound to Liverpool, on a voyage of speculation—but there can be 110 doubt of meeting a good market, as the articles of lading are in great demand, and inuft turn out very profitable to the adventurers, who are said to be so connected with the Indian tribes, as to be able to export a large quantity of the fame species, excellent in their refpetftive kinds, in the fuinmerof every year.
