THE publisher thinks it a mark of refpeift, due to a
liberal and enlightened public, to inform them that
this is the Poem for the publilhing of which he has been
twice dragged fr6m hishoufe, and is bow laboring under
a vexatious profccutionr~He is confciotre that the piece
contains nothing either criminal or offenfive, unless ori
ginal wit, decorated in elegant language, be criminal or '
dlfguftiilg to the prevalent taste ; and, as he trusts that
neither of these is the cafe, he submits the work to the
public with a full assurance of its meeting with a favora- >
ble reception.
He would beg his prosecutors to call to mind (if they 1
have ever read it) the following apolcrgue to a well known
romance—" A young painter, indulging a vein of plea- 1
fantry, (fetched a kind of ConDerfatian Piece, refpefling a
bear, an o\*l, a Vionkey, and an ass; and to render it
more striking, humourous, and moral, distinguished eve
ry figure by some emblem of human life. Bruin was
txhibited in the garb and attitude of an old, toothless,
drunken soldier ; the owl perched upon the handle of a
coffee-pot, with fpe&acles on his no'fc, seemed to contem
plate a newfpapcr; and the ass ornamented with a huge
tye-wig (which, however, could not conceal his long .
ears) fat for his picture to the monkey, who appeared
with the implements of painting. This ivhmftcal group
afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, 1
until some mischievous wag hinted the whole was a lam- '
poon upon an old officer, a physician, and a member of :
Parliament; an insinuation which was no l'eoner circulat- '
ed, than these pnople began to be alarmed, and even to 1
fancy thcmfelves fignified by the several figures in the '
piece. The furious group fell upon the A painter, who dc- '
clared that he had no design to give offence, or to cha- '
ratfterize particular petfons. They affirmed, the refenthlance '
•was M palpable to be overlouked,—and their clamours being 1
overhear* by the public, the Captain was a bear, the :
Do<3ot an -fs, and the Senator air owl, to their dying '
day."- l#*a similar fate should attend the persons who j
will infill upon being the members of this group, the 1
public will do the publisher the justice to remember that
it is no fault of his. t

ROYAL ANECtiOTE. |
During the Royal residence at Cheltenham, it i
was remarked, by the keepers of the fevetal turn
| pike gates, that his majesty in his Ihort cxcurfions* '
paid no toll. The right of his Majesty to pass toll- '
, free happening to become the fubjfft of converia
: hon in «a large company at Worcester, Robert
t bleth, an honest blunt fellow, ? nd keepei of Bar
i ba " S ate > urged that his majesty, in his '
• P nvate "pac.ty, was liable to the toll, declaring, at '
, the lame time, that though he> refpeded his fove
-1 vcifr ever he came to Barban gate, he Ihould not
: pass till the toll was paid.
A short lime after, honest Robert's resolution 1
was P ut to the tell, for his majesty, in his route to ]
Worcester, came to Barbau gate. On the ar.ival
r of the firft horseman that preceded the royal car
riage, Robert having prcvioufiy locked the gate, 1
flood with the keys in his hand, and demanded the 1
toll. I he: Equerry, man accent of perturbed I
patience, said, "Open the gate iaftantly, for his '
mffjefty is at hand."— 1 " I know that," replied 1
Rooert, out his majesty is not at the head of an ar-' !
P.y, and mud pay the toll. The servant remon- 1
trated with threats and indignation, but Robert
was not to be frightened; he heard him_«uh- pla

pass the gate agam. Accordingly haviW heard (

firft, they have abused the senate in every o- azett
' and very laiely they did their titmoft to m a \ e '
body and the president nothing and the house of it',
prefentatives every thing. %
Drouet eftabhfhed an i/ifurredionalcommittee; in
like manner, our democrats have their infurre&ioii.!
clubs. The French plotters pretended to be exctw
foe patriots. This is the very character afl'umed
by the prlrty in Bache's, Grecnleaf's, and Adams's
anarchical papers—who forgets the changes thev
' have rung upon the words patriotic party, I alandi
in government. The have an early claim to then,
tie of exclusive patriots—let them wear it with ag
much honor as Drouet and his accompliccs and with
rather more fatety to their precious necks.
Simple democracy is certainly going into disgrace
in France and America. Let it go. A fingieaf
fembly may begin lioneft, but if it has the whole
power, it will soon become not only rash and wick
cd, but will lose its own liberty and independence,
and become the invader of the rights and property
of the citizens. These are old truths i£ this coun.
try, our government has ever proeee4ed on tne true
republican principles of a divided legislature. Re.
publicanifm equally tequilas a ftngle, responsible
and'energetic executive. Yet very lately one of
the democratic gazettes extolled the French confti.
tution for having Jive. This betrays no little ralh.
ness and ignorance of the faience of politics. For
