P OR CUPINE To the Public. WHEN I determined to discontinue the pOiilic/tttci) of Porcupine's Gazelle, I inten ded to it-main for the future, it not an ui - c oncerned, at lead, a silent fpeftator of pub lic tr.ml'actipiu and political events ; but, the unexpected and sweeping refuli of a ljw l'uit, finre decidid again!! ins, 1m induced me to abandon my lounging intention. The suit to which I allude, was ail action of (lander, commenced against me in the au tumn of 1797. b/ Dodior Benjamin Hufli, the noted bleeding physician of Philadelphia. It was tried 011 the 14th of December l&ft, when " the upright, enlightened and impar tial Republican Jury" afiefied, as damages, Jive thousand dollars i a fnin furpaffipgthe aggregate amount of all the damages, ai!cfif ed for all the torts of this kind, ever filed for in / these States, from their Gift fettlc ment to the present day. To the five thou &llJ dollars, must be added the colls of fait, tbe lol's incurred h\r the interruption in col lecting debts in Pennsylvania, and by the faci ifke of property taken in execution, and fold by the fiieriff at public au&ion in Phi ladelphia, where a great number of books in Iheets (among which was a part of the new edition of Porcupine's Works) were fold, cr rather given away, as'wafte>paper ; so that, the total of what has been, and will be, wreftea from me by Rulh, will fall little llisrt of eight thousand (jollars. To fay that I do not feel this stroke, and very sensibly too, would be great affefta tion ; but, to repine at it would be felly, and to fink under it would be cowardice. I knew a,i Englishman in the Royal Proviuce of New Bri'nfwick, wli# had a very valuable house, which, was, I believe, at that time, nearly his all, burnt to tlie ground. He was out of town vytocu the fire broke out, ar.d happened to come just after it hadexbau fted itfcif. Every one, knowing how hard he lied earned the expefted to fee hire bitterly bewail its lols. He came vejy 1.-ifurely up to the spot, flood :.bcut five minutes, looking earneflly at ttie rubbill), »i d then, stripping off his coat, " here goes." f.iil he, " tj earn another !" ;.nd immedi ately went to work, rakir.g the fjikes and bit-- ol'iron out of tin- hAk-s. This noble spir ited man I h:ivc the honor to call my friend, and if ever this pa»c Ihouli meet his eye, he will have the tatisfaillrin to fee, that, fliauict it be impoiliWe for me to follow, I, at lead remember his example. V II) the future exertions «f my induflrV, however, pecuniary emolument will be, r.s'it always has beer, with me, an objefl of oi»ly (econdary co-.ificieration. Rceent incidents, amrngft which I reckon the unptT'eu i jted ] proceedings agair.ft me at Philadelphia, j impo(j?d 011 me tk- difciijrge of it duty, ! which I ewe to my own country as w 11 , s j this, and the [oonei I begin the 1# oiler T/hilj ' have done. O* Monday, the 24th instant, therefore, I shall publllh the liii't number of a periodical work, ivhich, as it i>. intended to r(T:ft the public view ih the infpetVmfc of various te nebi-rus obje&s, will be cnlicd, and not, I pre fume, irnpro.. !v, .. Lirht ; ai>J, 5 the appearance ot ili.„ nuift be attrib u-V wholly to tht l'li.iidelpiii;Mi plihbotomili, gratitude will fanAion the proprifcty of fix ing to it the naive of Rush. Thus, while the Rreat literary luninariet of tliisrtiliyht ened nation en.it their effulgence through vehicles which th-y reof! term the Aurora, the .Star, the Coniie/lt/tion, rtr Comet, or the S:;n % I am content that h y glimmering eflfeits lliould ftral forth under the appellation ef the Rush-Light. I mud, neverihelefs, do myfelf the justice to aflurc the public, that, with the Ruih- Light in his hand, any one (if the poor foul be not (tone blind) will be able to fee a good many very pretty things, which not withstanding the splendor of the grand lu minaries abuvs raemioned, wonld, without the atd of my little taper, remain hidden from him all the days of his life. [ To fay what will be the su/fect of the Rush-Light, would, at this time be impof fible, and were it pofiible it would be ufelefo, It may not, howcer, be amiss to rbferve, that as Rulh is, in feme fort the father of the work, a preference will certainly be gir en to him and his caufc. TUefe will, indeed, occupy 3 considerable portion of the three firft numbers ; and as the matter is already prepared for the press, these num ers will follow each other as speedily a» may be. Of the succeeding nnmbers.onp will be pufc liftied on the 15th, and one on the lejl day of every month. The Rush-Light, not withstanding the example of the patriot to whom it owes its fur-name, will never lay it down a* a maxim, Xr that cringing for a lucrative pajl ii the best proof 0/ a lo»e of independence , and there fore. it aiks fcr neither patronage nor fufo- fcribers. Each number will contain 48 oflaro pa ges, iifver left, and lometimes more, and will be enveloped in a blue wrapper, in the magazine (tyle. The printing will be exe cuted by Mc/Jrs. G. and R. Wait: , of Neiv- Tork, upon excellent paper, and the lejl type in Amtrica. The price of each number a ill be a quar ter of a dollar. To booWeller« at a distance rhe following are tlie tfrw? of sale: P}e who pays ca(h for twtlve copes will be allowed three over ; twenty five copies, eight over ; fifty copies, twenty over; one hundred co pies, fifty over ; and the like in proportion for any intermediate number ; but none will, on aiiy account, be sent out of New York, till the cajh is received. To gentlemen who wish to have lingle numbers sent on to them by poll, the following information may be ufeful. The pottage of a single number for any distance not exceeding 50 miles, will be three cents ; for any greater distance not exceeding 100 mile , 4 and one halt cents ; fbv any distance above 100 miles, fix cents.
