THE sensitive Gray, in a frank letter
to his friend West, afTures him that, when
the fun g'rtjws warm enough to tempt him
from the fire-fide, he will, like all other
things, be the better ifor his influence ; for
the fun is an old frieaid, and an excellent
nurse, See. This is an opinion which will
be easily entertained bV every one Who has
been cramped by the, icy hand of Winter,
and who feels the gay and renovating influ
ence of Spring. In those mournful months,
when vegetables and animals are alike coerc
ed by cold, man is tributary to the howling
storm and tjie sullen (ky ; and is, in the pa
thetic pfcrafe of Johnson, " a Have to
gloom." But when the earth is disencum
bered of her load of snow, and w&rmth is
felt, and twitteruig swallows are heard, he
is again jocund and free. Nature renews
her charter to her sons, and rejoicing mortals
in the striking language of the poet, " revisit
light, and feel its vital lamp."—>
Hence is enjoyed, in the liigheft luxury,
It is nearlyjpnpoiftble for me to convey to
my readers an idea of the " vernal deliglit"
felt at this period by the Lay Preacher, far
declined in tbe vale of years. My fpeiStral
figure pinched,by the rudtgripe of January,
becomes as thin as that " dagger of lath"
employed by the vaunting Falftaff ; and my
mind, afteftetsby the univerl'al desolation of
Winter, is nearly as vacant; of .joy and bright
ideas, as the sorest is of leaves, and the grove
is of song. Fortunately, for my happiness,
this is only periodical spleen. Though, in
the bitter months, surveying my extenuated
body, I exclaim with the melancholy pro
phet, " My leanness, my leanness, woe is
me ;V and though,' adverting to the state of
my mind, 1 behold it " all in a robe of dark
est grain/' yet, when April and May reign
in .sweet viciflitude, I give, like Horace,
care to the winds ; and perceive the whole
system excited by the potent stimulus of sun
shine. ,
An ancient bard, of the happiest descrip
tive powers, and who noted objects not only
with the eye of a poet, but with the accura
cy of a philosopher, fays, in a short poem,

Leroi, a Frenchman, has made an exper
iment that 'phosphorus, internally applied,
will fufprrfingly stimulate a weak constitu
tion, and even prolong, for a day, the life
of a dying man.' The interefls ot' the arts
and sciences have not been neglected amidst
the atrocities of revolution and the demor
alization of the. republic. The experiment
suggests the i:.ea that even Sansculottes are
willing to keep off the king of terrors, and
are no t always eager for everlasting sleep.
The genius'of Connecticut is destined still
to (hine in the literary world. Dr. Benja
min Trumbull, of N. Haven, is engaged in
the publication of a " Systematical demon
stration of the divine origin ■of the scrip
tures." Tjiat state, emirtent for its litera
ry productions, is not yet fufficiently depra
ved, or rathsr indoctrinated in French phi
losophical principles, to reject a i'vftem,
which enjoins submission to government,
pure morality, and sublime piety to God.

In merry Spring time', not only birds, but
melancholic old fellows, like myfelf, ling.
The fun is the poet's, the invalid's, and the
hypochondriac's friend. Under clement skies,
and genial funffiine, not only the body is
corroborated, but the mind is vivified, and
the heart becomes " open as day." I may
be considered fanciful in the aflertion, but I
am positive that many, who, in November,
December, January, February and March,
read nothing but Mandeville, fcochefoucault,
and Hobb?s, and cherish malignant thoughts
at the expense of poor human nature, abjure
their evil books and four "theories, when a
fofter season succeeds. I have in Winter,
felt hostile to thofc, whom I could smile up
on in May, and clasp to rnybofom in June.
Our moral qualities, as well as natural ob
jects, are affefted by physical laws ; and I
caneafily conceive that benevolence, no less
than the fun-flower, flourifhes and expands
under the luminary of day.
With unaffefted earneffnefs, I hope that
none of my readers will look upon the agree
able visitation of the fun, at this beauteous
season, as the impertinent call of a crabbed
monitor, or an importunate dun. I hope
that none will churlishly tell him " how they
hate his beams." 1 an) credibly informed
that several of my city friends, many fine
ladies, and the worfhipful society of loungers

be confeffed that he is fond of prying into
chambers and closets, but not, like a tude
feqrcher, or libertine gallant, for injurious
or licentious purposes. His designs are be
nificent, and he is one of the warmefl friends
in the world. Notwithfonding his looks
are sometimes a little suspicious, and he pre

cheek of a jolly toper, yet this is only a new
proof of the fallacy of plivfiognomy, for he

COMMUNICATION.
M'KEAN.
To the Citizens of Philadelphia,
j IHE Democratic Committee appointed to
circulate theincelligeticeofThomas M'Kean's
being felefted to fill the office of Chief Ex
ecutive Magiftr.ite of Pcnnlylvaiiia, after
I pompously enumerating his " perlonnl merits
j and public Cervices", have aff-rtcd a wife
hood which opght not to go uncontradicted.
I hey fay he has been governor of a fifer
I state, meaning I suppose the state of Dela
| ware, for of any other state, no one I pre
j fume will alFcrt that he ever was governor.
Now the fact'is limply this. In the month
of January, 1777, John M'Kiuly, Esq. then
speaker ot the house ot aflembly of the state
of Delaware, was by both houft-s of the ge
neral aflembly, elected prelident of the Race,
agreeable to the tlifn constitution. This
event rendered the speaker's chair vacant,'
upon which Thomas M'Kean. thon a mem
ber, was by the house chosen speaker, in
which he continued until tlie termination of
the session, Which took place in two or three
days after. In the month of September,
1777, the British army paffsd through the
state of Delaware—a detachment of it touk
poffeflion of Wilmington, at which place
Mr. M'Kinley, the prelident, became a pri
soner of war : by the capture of whom, the
powers of government devolved on George
Read, Esq. speaker of £he council, but he
being at that time absent in New-Jer!ty,
tUey then devolved on Thorn a? M'Kean, as
speaker of the aflembly, who otercifed them
until the return of Mr. Read, which was in
a few days. So that by the capture of Pre
sident M'Kinley, and the accidental abfenct
of the speaker ofthe council, Thomas M'Kean
exercised the powers of government for a few
days. Hence it is, that this committee in
duce the people of Pennsylvania to believe,
that he has been eleCted governor of a filter
state, and thereby endeavor to procure their
fuffrages for his eleftion to the fame impor
tant office in Pennsylvania. To what mi
serable Ihifts, to what democratic tricks, n?)
to what palpable deception are these people
driven, in order to accomplilh their purposes.
Be .on your guard, therefore, my fellow-citi
«ens, against their deceptive wiles. Thomas
M'Kean never was eleCted governor of the
state of Delaware, and I trust your good
sense, patriotism, aod truly republican prin
ciples, will prevent his being eleCted govern
or of the state of Pennsylvania.
PLAIN TRUTH.
Philadelphia, April 2id t 1799.
From the Virginia Gazette.
MB. DAVIS,
I FIND, by your paper of the
7th instant, which I got a few days since,
Mr. Giles has, at last, condefcendesi to de
ny what he is pleased to call a charge against
him in yours of the 25th of January last ;
aiid to invalidate the teftimon)- of Mr. Bur
well, he fays, " The coriverfation is presum
ed to have happened on the 22d ult. at the
house of a person in Richmond, generally
called 4 Little Lewi Burwellbut from his
adherence to the British cause during the re
volutionary war, &c. has obtained the name
of 1 Little England." Mr. Burwell, todif
tinguifh him from three other gentlemen of
the fame name, has been called Engliffi Lewi
Burwell, from having spent the early part of
his life in that country, and by his intimate
acquaintances has been called Little Burwell;
but, I believe Mr. Giles must have the cre
dit of naming him 4 Little England,' which
I never before heard of; and, in whatever
light he may attempt to place him, lam per
suaded, where they are equally known, Mr.
Burwell's aflertion will always gain as much
credit as Mr. Giles's.
I fhoul<| have paid no attention to Mr.
Giles's letter to you, but for one part of it.
He tells you, " In Mr. Ne'.fon's condua
there are circumstances of a very extraordi
nary nature. He heard of this expression
the evening proceeding the 24th of January,
which was on Monday. On Tuesday he
wrote his letter of alarm for the next day's
paper. I was in Richmond on Monday, on
Tuesday, and on Wednesday until after 12
o'clock. On Tuesday an intereftiflj debate
took place in the House of DelegatesWpeift.
ing the affairs of the Union, in which I bore
a part." Mr. Giles is corrcdt in faying 1
heard of this expression the evening proceed
ing the 24th of January, but he is jniftaken
as to the day of the week ; tor the evening
proceeding the 24th was on Wednesday ; so
that, had I been inclined to his mode of ex
planation, it would have been impracticable ;
both the debate, and his leaving town, ha,v
iug happened before I heard a sentence of the
expression. The interesting debate alluded
to by Mr. Giles, Ifuppole, was on the lub
ject of the address to the jeoplr, which took
place on Tuesday the 22d of January. Had
Mr. Giles and his party told the people, in
plain terms, that disunion <was their obje£t,
but little, if any, mifchief could have ilsw-
from the measure—common sense woald
have been a fufficient corrective ; but when
they come forward in the true jacobin Aile,
to create a disgust against the present govern
ment, and thereby effeiTt a change, without
avowing the intention, it becomes, in niy
opinion, the fir ft duty of every friend of re
al liberty to counteract: the insidious poison.

are o a very large amount. For five nights
before the departure of the Royal Family,
confidential servants were employed in re*

Count Zenobio is now in a Portuguele

end only in a discovery of the different
Countries. »
The following Extraa from a Voyags to
the South Seas, la ely published by Captain
Colnett. of the Royal Navy, is highly de
serving of the attention of all Commanders
of Ships and others who go into hot climates
as it exhibits a fJccefsful mode of treating
the Yellow I ever, a disorder, which, ala* i
has so often baffled the (kill of medicai
pra£tirioner3 (pageßo):
" The whole crew had been more or
less affeCted by the Yellow Fever, from
which horrid disorder I'was however so for.
(unate js to recover them, by adopting the
method hat I saw praCtised by the Natives
of Spanish America, when I was a p ifoner
among them. On the firft symptoms ap.
pearing, the fore part ofthe head was im.
mediately ftiaved, and temples and poll walh
ed with vinegar and water. The wh« l e bo
dy was then imraerfed in warm water, to
give a free course to perspiration : some open
ing medicine was afterward! adminiflered
and every four hours a dose of ten grains of
James's powders,
If the patient was thirsty, the drink w»g
weak white wine and water, and a ftice of
bread to fatisfy an inclination to eat. "An
increasing appetite was gratified by a small
quantity of I'oup, made from the mucilagi
nous part of the turtle, with a little vinegar
in it. I also gave th* fak sweetmeats- and
other articles from my private (lock, when
ever they exprefleiJ a distant wish for mny,
which I could supply them with.
By this mode of treatment, the whole
crew improved in their health, except the
carpenter, who though & vtrv flout rrobuft
man, was at one time in such 3 state of deli
rium, and so much reduced, that I gaTe him
over ; but he at length recovered."
A mon. judicious treatment of this disor
der could not have been devised. The
fame good sense, indeed, which direfled the
medical concerns (for there was no furgcon
on board) Items tn have prevailed upon eve
ry occasion of difficulty or danger, which
required nautical ; but of this we are
the less surprised, when we find that captain
Colnett had served under that celebrated
navigator captain Cook ;to whose works
.this publication will no doubt be
as a valuable fuppletnent.
A quibbling writer of the last century
