Amongfl the many dilgviftinStraits in the
Frtricb chara£\er, not fcaft conspicuous, is
thei'r infenfibilitv to re verse ot fortune, and
their contentment ofit&r exile and poverty.
It has always marked thenj cf a lower grade,
in mentai erdowmer t, than any other civi
lizedrtation :,but it pafi'es with many for a very
opposite charafterHHc, and so let it pass.
Various writers ha\e difpl.iyed this indif
ference of the French, under the 1110 ft de
pre (Ting misfortunes and Calamities. In
their endurance of he v.-ever, and
their ingenuity in Eitiating it, they appear'
ttie mofi curious. The Cardinal de Ketz
ttlls us, that the inhabitants of Paris,
■were subsisted, during manyd.iyson the meal
of pulverized human bones, extriiSked from
the church yard of the Innocents, 'during the
fjege of the league. A more extraordinary
story is told either by Boimeval, or Trenck,
o* Munchaufen, of 4 Frenchman existing nine
days on tlie pomatum which adhered to the

•' Oh ! good old man ! how well in thee appears
The constant fenrice of this antique world
When service sweat for duty not for meed!
Thov art not for the Ufhion of thsfe times
Where none will sweat but for promotion;
And having that, do choak their ferviee up
Even with the having: it ii net 10 with tkit.
But, poor Old Man, thou prun'ft a rotten tree,
That cannot so much as a bloflom yield
In lieu of all thjr pains and husbandry."

An iiifurretlion lately broke out in a spa
cious mansion, tenanted by jeveral families
in each flory. The conflicting parties pro
ceeded from ftpp to fbep in their revolutiona
ry movements, until the fovercignty of the
lower story actually cut away the flairs, and
compelled the fovcreign people of the upper
part, women and all, to afccnd and descend
through the windows by a ladder. The o
thers retaJiated, in various ways, till the
bouse became, through the inveterate fury of
either party, a linking illustration of the
'veil known passage in holy writ.
The {hocking increase of the mpft flagi
tious crimes, ii> the fta'e of Pennsylvania,
within the last twelve months, is exceed
ed only by the abundance of those of
lefler degree. The restoration of a penal
code to this unfortunate commonwealth, can
alone save society from degenerating to a
state little preferable to that of wolves and
bears. That dreary humanity whichdelights
in warding punifliment off the heads of the
word wretches in society—and proceeds no
farther, is fad retiring before the flow but
solemn force of experience.
In four words of a beautiful Poet,
" Poena metusque aberant,"
we have a strong, though accidental elucida
tion of the consequence that follows the non
existence of proper fan&ions to the laws.
The Poet is describing his Golden Age,
when punishment and fear, and a thousand
Mother ills were put away ; the justness of the
connexion, iii which he introduces his fmna
■metusque, mtift forever be realized, until that
Visionary sra of his imagination be brought
to pass : But the present is an Age of Brass.

Cruz,where they have been denied permiflion

and they will continue falling for some time.

In the British Hoi) si of Commons, I)ec. 11
' Mr. Tierney, brought forward a motion
declaring tb<ft " it was incumbent on his Ma
jesty's ministers to advist Bis Majesty not to
enter into any alliance with foreign powers,
that may hinder bis Majesty from negociat
ing a peace with France whenever she may be
disposed to enter upon a fair and equitable
negoeiation." This proposition, like those
pacific measures recommended by the Ameri
can Tierneys, was intended #0 prevent the
only surf step by -which to render France, sin
cere andearrteft in Aerdifpofition for peace ;
and on this topic, Mr. Canning, vuith pecu
liar force and. elegance, opposed the mistaken
policy of relaxing a moment in a vigorous
opposition to the ruinousprojects of tbc French
Directory, in the hope of pereuading them
into peace. " They fear nothing lo much,"
said be, " as a general cohfcdeiary of Eu
rope, of which England was to be at the
head," and then proceeds,;
It had been frequently a iked, what was
the objeft of the war, arid for what it was,
which, until it was obtained, we could not
lay down our arms ?He fliould f d y that it
was our own fafety, as it flood , conntfted
with the general good. It was to be regard
ed in a general and complicated view, not
frittered away into various and partial results.
The objefl of a war like the prxrfeat was not
a thing which a man may hands,
lay on the table, and fay, an ob
ject !"—He ihouli answer the question in
Mother wj»y» by referring to tilt general
fate of Europe,-—He tpuld pot he brought
to envy the feelings of the man, who could
fee Switzerland bleeding at every pore—apd
»Italy defpoilcU, and trampled upon—Holland
groaning under the weight of itsppprefTion
—and "Spain at the noff of a des
pot; and who could fay, we hate nothing
to do \yith their affairs.
This was, ir. his opinion, to atlticipate
an ministers to meet, ( though probably that
meeting would not be held at a tavern) to
recant their former opinions, and to state
what was their convittion with refpedt to
France, now that (he had thrown off the
malk. If they should state at the bar of the
house that they one 9 looked on the French
Republic as gentle, unambitious, full of
frstnknefs. and free from guile ; that they
now regarded it its the reverie of ill these,
would they not be entitled to forgiven;-fs ?
Would the gentle men on tl.e oppoiite fide
lay, that a niaa who had been once contami
nated with French principles, or touched Lv
French connexions,could newer be consider
ed as found ? No, they would undoubtedly

doubt of its application [This allusion which
icas to some late description! of Mr. Fox at
the Whig Citti, ?r*i; loud'y chared from the
ministerial side cf the House"] It was to
be observed, that the feelings of the conti
nental powers, with refpttt to France, arose
from their experience ; we had to
form ours only from Tfmote delrvi'itio*.—
They had to fee! what we could ftartdy con'

j He then proceeded to draw a pathetic pic

French into their territory, «nly to assist
them, hefaid in bringing about a flight par
liamentary reform ! There was no man so
befcitted as not to believe that the Swiss
would heartily join in the caufn, if a gene

fire, which was otherwise about to spread

from which of their allies the French could i

Republic, which they had taken as a living
fubjeft on which they may pra&ife their ex
periment* in political «natomy, and through
the palpitating members of which they hun
ted for the vital principle of repubiicanifm ?
Was it from the Roman or Ligutian Re
publics, which they bad fj (hamefully plun
dered and abused ?—Was it from the King
of Sardinia, who. though a nominal monarch
in his palace, yet felt that the French Gene
ral in the citadd of Turin was " a Viceroy

carried into Italy, none of these powers

On thehleft errand of pevcc-maiiing.

You law how sister France was biiwd'ring,

Shake ofifher feulchion's dud and draw it;
With dread the gath'ring storm you view'd—
Th' impatient flirae pent in the cloud,
You kne>v, if once burst i nto adtion,
Down would go France, and down go fa&ion.
To Paris then you slyly went
To give kind its a friendly hint.
But sure (as wife men did before ye)
You firft con fill ted wife Deborah*,
And told her what a mighty honour
You would ere long confer upon her,

And now the happy coasts you fee-
The land of IVeet equality.
No hills deform the level l'cetif*,
'Tis all a vast unbounded plain.
No land-tnaik, line nor fence are fcen,
I'hey would the rights of man delr.eafi—
A common waste to live upon,
Where all have part, r.nd each has none.
There ii.o man's thicker, heavier, bigger.
Taller nor shorter, than his neighbour.
The equal law, supreme and wile,
Decrees that all be of a size.
Should perverse nature dare to shoot
A leg or arm, a hand or'foot—
Projeft a nose or other member,
Orftretch a neck so long and slender,
Beyond tke equal Ug&] guage,
They're trim'd,like rumbling twigs in <be4gf*
And foroe, you'd fee with rumps cloie (haven.
And some sans beads to make them even.
O Dottor, how your heart rejoie'd
To fee the phantom realiz'd,
Of which all dreamers were in chate
From Harrington§ to our Vice Pres. !
Now, Doctor, you admiflion gain
To Liberty's rnoft fee red fane,
Where peuple sowserain, or mob
Has set up a five headed God.
But, Do&or, (an eflential thing)
You did no votive offering bring I—
" Alas 1" you'd fay, with deep regret,
" We've not the Coffers of tie state.'*
Howe'er, with prayers, to your fond wifties
You made the deity propitious.
He fmii'd, benign thro' eveiy head,
And gave the nod that peace was made.
O ! how it joys a virtuous l'pirit,
To think of your merit.
When ev'ry hope of pence was part,
Andfa&ion 'moil at its gasp,
With food and cordial drops, humane,
To bring the fiend to life again !

You fail—your country's hope ar.d boast.
