Having thus e*citod aJittle attention by dubbing himfelf a prrftcutii pa tricl, he loon became emboldtncd to the greatest height of impudence and as it is the prerogative of his inture, to feel no lack of afTurame, be soon, by tl.u hrlp 6 r a number of turbulent and fa&ions demagogue', set up an IriQl daily paper, which, during the short time it laded, was sedulously im proved in impudently ctlumniating that govern tnent, nnder tbe protection of whose lenient hind the pcnnylefs Pad y had met a refuge from flarva tion : 1 his, naturally, soon died ; and our booby became an underftrapp r to a f (3'ous Theatre ef taMJlVd by a vile crew of Ja obias. Here he produced an Irish tragedy- ("Thin day at eve I'll meet thee here again") but the few filly pud- tfaped and flared at the wil : phantasms of his lunatic brain, arnufmg at length their b mifte 4 senses kicked the tiagedy. together with Mr. P-iddy, into contempt. Thus he failed here— hr spite of allhi« Tudiet at Trinity Colkge, from which, however, by his own flunid eonfailion, it epp ars he had been expetle with contumely and tU£j;: ace. A short time flnce, he informed th. pub lie, in the trnth-lovisg Chronicle, that he was in volved in debt, and designed to tax. their juries With another tragedy, whereby he means to pay his debts vid transport his filthy carcase rack agrin to that I»nd, from which he was driv en by gtvcrvmr4.il perfnation ~t We is valouroufly going t» dive into the LnnV mouth, and his n :w Irifk tragedy, by the fubli.Tte litctary feaft it is to afior.i his gaping creditors, is to compensate all their deinan is. 1 his insolent intruder could not cjuil the foil to which he has already too long ben a pollution ; without a rew l'pecimen of Jacobin-Irish Impu &nce. He hands to the Lying Chronicle a mess of botheration and nonsense, which even their ftuptd intellects perceived to he unworthy of publication But net* light beiig thrown upr.n the fubj:3, pro bably by the additron of a little C ash to th" com munkation, by forae friend of the needy citizen, the ill '.crate ard heterogeneous hodge-podge is 6 na' y thrust upon the puhlie. Independent of the chara- ; out which life itfelf is, a burden, was daily f- | bathed and almost drowned in the blood of e her most virtuous and zealous worshippers 11 by hypoerites abusing and adling in her name—Now that we know the truth, 1- ought not such among us who have advo cated every measure adopted by the different 9 fa&ioas, who have governed France for e eight years pas!, candidly to confefs that s they had not till now the most distant idea r of the exceffe6 to which things were cSr ;l lied, and of the danger to which CIVIL t LIBERTY was exposed in creating an y sbhorrence to it among the French them j selves ? Ought not our " exclusive patri -8 join the French people in execrat n iri{( the raonfters, who have tyranized over - France and drenched her in the blood of e her bed citizens ? Ought they not particu e larly to Join the Legijlativc Body in con i demning the conduit of the jacobinic Di e re&ory> with rofpect to their treatment of t this country ? JTo, my fellow citizens, we 1 have fiends among us, who, with patricidal s look and fatarrnic grin, have expressed satis - fadtion at all the losses we have sustained i from fm arbitrary, villainous order of the '■ Executive of a foreign nation, which the s people of that country have themselves s pointedly called a piratical decree." Let no fueh men be trusted either in , public or private life—they are not radical - ly found. It is remarkable that not an : American privateerfman in France, not a : traitor who has been in public office and - betrayed and attempted to betray the in - terefts of his country, but what has befcn - a diforganizer, an enemy to our national e jrovrnment—to virtuous Federalists - who have administered it, and adtive .pro t naoters arid insolent approvers of French de . prtdatio*s on our property. On the con» e trary, I defy our Jacobins to produce a fin e's friend to our federal conflitution and c its hitherto virtuous adminiflration, who - has been concerned diredtly or indirectly in 1 privateering under French colours agatnft : their countrymen, or who has abdfed the sacred trull reposed in them as public offi - ceri. N No, my fellow countrymen, you 1 j will find privateerfmen and traitors only - among the " EXCLUSIVE PATRI -1 OTS," the revilers of Washington, Adams, ' and fom« other real friends to their country 1 and civil liberty : It is high time to detach 1 yourfelvei from them, and rally round the 3 friends of Virtue, Order, and Federalism. 1 FRENCH CRUELTf. HOM THE HISTORY OF THE FIVE INDIAN NATMNS OF CANADA. > " The Count dc Frontenac waspierced to , the heart, when he found that he could not • revenge these terrible inenrfions of the Five • Nations ; and his anguifhmade him guil.y of • such a piece of rtlonftrous cruelty, in burn l ing a prisoner alive after the Indian manner, f as though I have frequently mentioned to have been done by the Indians, yet I fore -1 bore giviug the particulars of such barbarous 1 afts, fufpedting it might be too offenfive to • Christian ears, even in the history of fava » ge». Here however I think it ufeful to give : a cfrcumftantial account of this horrid ait, 1 to, shew on one hand, what courage and re -1 folution,-virtue, the love of glory, and the 1 . love of one's country can instil into men*6 ! minds, even where the knowledge of true 1 religion is wanting ; and on the other hand, ' how far a falfe policy, under a corrupt religi r on, can debase even great minds. The Count dc Frontenac, condemned two •! prifouers of the Five Nations to be burnt ■ publicly alive. The Ihtendant's lady in i treated him to moderate the fentcnce, and : the Jesuits, it is said, used their endeavours I for the fame purpose. But the Count de Frontenac said, there is a necessity of ma king such an example to frighte® the Five ' Nations from approaching the plantations, I fihoe the indulgence, that had hitherto been 1 i shewn, had encouraged them to advauce 1 with the greatest bofdnefs to the very gates los their towns ; while, they thought they ' f run ao other risque, but of being made pri ' foners, whire they live better than at home. He added, that the Five Nations having burnt so many French, juftified this me thod of malyng reprisals. But with sub mission to the politeoefs of the French nati on, may I not ask, whether every (or any) horrid-aftion of a barbarous enemy, can juf tify a civilized nation in doiag the like ? When the governor could not be mo ved, the Jesuits went to the prison, to in ftruftthe prisoners in the mysteries of our ho ly religion, viz. of the Trinity, the Incar nation of our Saviour, the joys of paradise, and the punishments of Hell, to fit their fouls for Heaven by baptism, while their bodies were condemned to torment'. But the Indians, after they had heard their sen tence, refufed to hear the jesuits speak, and began to prepare for death in their own country manner, by fingiug their death song. Some charitable person threw a knife in to the prison, with which one of them dis patched himfelf: The other was carried out to ihe place of execution by the christian Indians of Loretto, to which he walked, seemingly, with as much indifference as ever Martyr did to the flake. While they were torturing him, he continued singing, that he was a warrior brave and without fear ; that the most cruel death could not shake his courage ; that the most cruel torment fhau'd not draw an indecent exprefuon from him j that hie comrade was a coward, a scandal to the five nations, who had killed himfelf for fear of pain ; that he had the comfort to reflefl, that he had made many Frenchmen fuffer as he did now. He fully verified his words, for the most violent tQr rrient could not force the least complaint from him, though his executioners tried their utmost skill to do it. They firft .broiled his feet bttwesn two red hot stones; r < then /they put li is fingers into red hot pipes, and though hfe had his arms at liberty, he would uot pull his firjgers out ; they cut his joints, and taking hold of the sinews, twilled them round fraall bars of iron. All this while he kept singing and recounting his own brave a&ions again!! the French. At last they flead his scalp from his (kull, and poured scalding hot sand upon it ; at which time the intendant's lady obtained leave of the governor to have the coup-de-grace giv en, and I believe she thereby likewise ob tained a favour to every reader, in delivering him from a further continuance of this ac count of French cruelty." MORAL. Thoughts on Miff, confident! as a Microcofmos, or Little IVorld. Man has been considered, and with good reason, as an abftraft or model in miniature of the universe. God made him the last and mod excellent of his creatures. He inter nally endowed him after his own image, with a divine understanding, whereby he might contemplate and serve his Creator ; and he furnifhed him with the powers and faculties of reason that he might govern the world and all the creatures fubjeCi to his command. God also having created three forts of living natures, viz. angelical, rational and brutal, gave to angels an in tellectual and to hearts a sensitive nature ; but to man he vouchfafed both, together with the rational abilities peculiarly be longing to him ; and hence he became the bond or chain of union of all the three, and by his participation of them may be truly said to be a little world, as presenting so ex actly its component parts. God therefore placed on the earth, the man he had made, as it were another world ; the great in the small: For out of the earth and dust was formed the frefh of man, and therefore strong and durable. His blood, which is dispersed by branches' of veins and arteries throughout the body, may be re sembled to those waters which are called brooks and rivers over all the earth ; his breath to the air ; his natural heat to the warmth which the earth Contains in itfelf, and which, stirred up by the heat of the fun, afliits naiui e ~nr iTuT fpeed:Vv procrM tion of those rarities which the earth b'ring • eth forth ; hi* radical mnifture, oil or bal : sam, on which thr natural heat feeds and is I maintained, tothefatandfertililyoftheearth ; j the hairs of his body which adorn or over i shadow it, to graft which covers the upper j face and (kin of the earth ; his generative t power, to nature which produces Ml things ; his determination?, to light, wandering and unliable clouds, wafted away by uncertain winds ; his eyes, to the light of the fun and moon ; the beauty of his youthful days, to the flowers of the spring, which either the fierce puffs of wind blow from their stalks, or in a short time the fun's piercing rays dry up and wither ; the thoughts of his mind, to the rapid and inftananeous motion of ce lestial fpiriti ; his pure nnderllanding to those intelledtual natures which are always present with God ; and his immortal foul, while righteous and exalted by the beauty of holiness, to the image and fimiltudc of God himfelf, for, though in respect to God, no man is just, or good or righteous, yet, with such a kind of difference's subsists between the substance and shadow, goodness may be found in man, and God being pleased to ac cept it, has therefore called him the image and similitude of his own righteousness. The allusion may be drawn out to a still greater length, and man as the measure of all things, may again resemble by his fevtn a ges, the seven planets. Our infancy may be compared to the moon, in which we seem only to live and grow as plants ; the second to Mercury, wherein we arc taught and inftrudted ; our third age to Venus, the days of love, desire, and vanity; the fourth to the fun, the-ftrong, flourifhing and beau tiful ag»of man's life ; the fifth to Mars, m which we begin to take ah account of our time, judge ourselves and grow to the per fection of our understanding ; last, and se venth, to Saturn, when our days are fad and overcast. In these we find by dear and la mentable experience, and by losses never to be repaired, that of all our vain passions and affections, sorrow only abideth. Our atten dants are sicknesses, and sundry infirmities, and by how much the more we are accompa nied with plenty, by so much the more greedily is our end desired. When time has made us unfociabfe to others, we be come a burden to ourfeWs, and are of no other use than to withhold the riches we possess from our successors. In this time it is, that we, for the most part, and seldom before, prepare for our eternal habitation whith we pass on to with many fighs,groans, and doleful thoughts* and in the end, by the workmanship of death, finifh the forrow fuT business of a wretched life, towards which we are always making advances both in sleeping and waking ; never have those be loved companions of honor and riches any power to hold one day, by flattering the promise of entertainments ; but by what crooked path foevtr we walk, the fame leads on direftly to the house of death, whose doers lie open at all hours, and to all per sons. For this tide of man's life, after once turning and declining, ever runs with a per petual ebb and falling flream, but never flows again—our leaf once fallen springs no more. Neither does the fun or the fumm'er adorn us again with the garments of new Leaves or flowers. Foryf there is any baiting place, or reft, in the course or race of man's life, the fame might then be perpetually maintainal livings, and as the"sap and juice, wherein the life ofplants is preferred, does evermore as cend or descend ; so it is with the life of man, which is always either ipcreafing to wards ripeness and perfection, or declining towards rotteanefs and dissolution.

It appears by a New Prbvi'dence paper, handed us lad evening by capt. Johnson, that th« privateer Revenue,, tvbich captured the (hip Asia, is owned by citizen Jean Baron, residing in Philadelphia, as appear! by a copy of the privateer's eortimiflW found on board of the prize {hip. The above paper is dated at Nassau, ' Aug. 11, BOSTON, September 6. fICKAROONERY. Captain A 'jams arrived at Gloucester, from Martinique,' l'rt lat. 40, long. 67, was boarded from the piratical French privateer which lately failed from Marblehcad, and robbed of his light fails, a barrel of beef, and some fmaii articles. The officer told, captain Adams he should make a prize of him, were it not that expeaing to fall in with some Indiamen, he did not wi/h to be detained. CADIZ BOMBARDMENT. By arrivals from Lisbon, we learn, that admiral St. Vincents, after having obliged the Spanish fleet to take fhelter'in Cadiz harbour, had inveftcd that city. In the prosecution of his plan, he captured port St. Mary's, a place* about fix miles from Cadiz, and from whence the city is supplied with water, vegetables. &c. ftje Spanish fleet having retired beyond the part of the island on which Cadiz'is situated, St. Vin cents proceeded to bombard both the city and the fleet beyond it. By the last ac counts from- Lisbon, the bombardment must have commenced about the 4th or sth of July, and had not ceased on the 9th or 10th, as will be seen by Mefirs letters. Lord St. Vincents' ffeet has been strongly reinforced since his engagement with the Spanish : And the troops which lately eva cuated th£ island of Elba, in the Mediter ranean (4000) are said to have joined him. It is said. » gif«t »art of the inhabitants -have rr-TI, 3l~tfieTjparufhfleet~27rccwered no disposition to meet the' English ; which from its length of time at sea, and experi ence of commander*, was in.a high state of discipline. The damages done to the town, and .fleet, are variously related ; but the fa& of the bombardment may be relied on. The pofleflion of port St. Mary's was ne ceflary to the supply of the English fleet with water. Letters from Lisbon suggest it as the opinion of many, that admiral Jerri# means to destroy as much of the Spanish fleet as possible ; and then lay Cadiz under' a heavy contribution a la mode Francaije. In such contempt does admiral Jervis hold the Spanish fleet, th»t while lying ofTCadiz harbour, he by turns unrigged and rigged the veftels of his fleet, n open view ; and it one time, we are informed by an Ameri can captain who saw it, five ships had aau ally their t&pmafh on deck at the fame timt?*. and fevcral ship's of the squadron (ailed into the harbour, gave the forts a broadside, and returned. C. : i Capiain Alien, arrived at Gloucester from Lisbon, 50 days, confirms the of the bombardment. LATE FROM FRANCE. ' [Through the friendly attention of Mr. John G. Rogers, of Gloueeftcr, we were Lift evening favored with Paris papers to T u 'y 16th, received there by captain Inger fol, from Bordeaux.] Afteracurfory perusal of them, we can only fay, that the Courier Ju Corps Legifla tify of July 16, informs:—The negociationa for peace are seriously entered upon at Lille. Every day the two legations meet 3t 11 in the morning :—Their conferences are never long. The English conduft with prudence ; and are much esteemed in Lisle. The mi niflers of the French legation are also held in high refpeft. Fifty cannon were fired cm the arrival us lord Malmefbury, at Lisle. " Letters from Italy state, that general Meerfeldt has again arrived at Montebello ; svhere he had a long conference with general Buonaparte ; which terminated to the fatis ifaftion of the two parties. Buonaparte im mediately difpatehed a courier extraordinary to Paris. Ti"» fame letters kate, that the Ift July was fixed on for the |>urpofe of pro claiming at Milan, the definitive treaty of peace ; and the independence of the Italian republics." In the fame paper of the 15 th, in a de bate upon the celebration of the 14th Ju ly, Vaublanc congatulated the Council, that the mediation of Buonaparte, fupportcd bv the pacific disposition Si the Directory, had succeeded in the liberation of La Fayette, Latour Mauburg, and Bureau de Puzy,who are reflored to liberty and independence. The negotiations at Lisle are to be car ried on solely with the English Commiffion^r. The " Pojlillor. d;s Armeei" of the 14th July, fays, that Perignon is recalled from the embafiy to Spain ; to which place Per rochel has been sent. " It appears positive that the emperor has difpatehed orders for the liberation of the prisoners at Olmutz." This paper of the 6th July contains" Prefidtnt Adam:,' speech at full length. FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES. In the 4th middle diftria we reafon to think, that Bailey Bartlett, Efq is chc fen to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Bradbury. In Rhode-Island, James Burrill, jun. Esq. i was generally voted for. In New-Hampshire, the accounts stand in favour of Mr. Livermore, te fucceedMr. Jeremiah Smith. On Saturday the Chevalier d'Yurojo, vf fited the Prefidcnt of the United States at Quincy. The Chevalier attended the theatre on evening, and ye.lsrday gave an «n-
