LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. An edition of that invaluable work, the Pursuits of Literature, after having been procrafliuated too long, is at length under- c taken by two per ions, worthy to print» clai- ' fical poem. Metlrs. Dickins and Maxwell have commenced the pul"l'<-ation, and it will 1 shortly appear froni their beautiful press. It will adlually be printed on better paper, ' and with fairer types than those emplpyed by Becket in his Englilb edition. Offeven editions it will contain all the progressive ad ditions and improvements, together with the author's translation of the numerous claflical quotations, See. and will be fold tor two dol lar», the sterling pike in the city of Lon den for tile original. As this is a whrk, little known in America. ffolih its Hi™h Cast, exuberance of leai rfing, and profundity of remark, re/ltjiined to the (ludies of the Few, it may not be amiss to (late, briefly, some particulars, refpeftmg the Author and the ftrrpe of fbis poem. The P;)et, who has in this work, refountled with " hallowed voice" the praise of ancient literature, and OLD FASHION! n PP.rKCIPLES, ll*s aflfcfted i the shyness of J.inius, and driven hard to reti'Hr!i, not but fafe, behind the (h.ciu -.1 secrecy.' Thi> care, i: appears, has been fruftrated j and it is now well known that the author is Mr. Matthi \s, a clerk' in the Queen's Treasury. He fecm.", to j have bejn From infancy an indefatigable rea- ) derof all kinds of good books to be j equally familial with thr I'onorous Hi d and 1 the wellifltious Manuiaii ; to ha\e acfuftom- j c-d his ear to tlie sol; inn dignity of the Span iih, and the gav vivacity rf the Fierich tongue, and to.liave read with equal dili gence the epics of Spain and Italy, the Can tos of Ariofto, and the fmiucts of Petrarch. ; Jn'oi is his exteniive range through the of ufeful and brilliant literature T.is higbeft praise. He appears, e\ery where to be a good man, as well as a fine writer. He it an implac.icle foe to French principles, vriif r>t»rs efl.-.blifhwriits. elßiOrts to " whatlocver thuiys are pure.

Hedoes not labor, Kke the vain and vaporing Sciolists of France a«d America, to degrade Greek and Roman literature from thtir proud elevation. Con scious of the manifold fcrvice, which the classics render to lentinKnt and to flyle, to the heart and the head, he applauds the an cients, in lines which the ancients tlieinlelves would not difowß. Of the necessary, im mutable and ufeful diftinftion of rank* in society he is a zealoifc afllrte.r. He does npt dream that a king is nothing more than Louis 'Capet, and that a Quteen is an ordina ry Elizabeth or Mary. To the ariflocracy of wealth, talents and virtue he does not " bow popularly low," but refpec\fully courteous, and cheerfully pays his tribute unto Cat far.

Such an union of vigorous verse and pure principles, such a niafs of learning, mod laudably exerted, such moral d«&rine, ajid such cauflic wit (bculd ensure tti the authoi* the mofl lively applause. His oljefts are of the highefl kind. He is no ordinary scribbler, iervile to hafenefs and vulgarity. In the words of Sir Thomas Smyth, " he bears the pert, charge and countenance of a gentleman,", and might be deservedly classed by a Horace Walpole in the catalogue ot noble authors. He writes /roni the liberal views of an Englifti gentle plan, and his Poem, as he informs us in the threlhold of his undertaking l( was written lrpotr no private motive biit fiB : l)y and fokly the conduit of the per foßS mentioned or alluded to, or the man ner of their fcompofitions, or the principles of jheir writings tend to influence and affc& the LEARNING, the GOVERNMENT, the RELIGION, the PUBLIC MORALITY, tht PUBLIC HAPPINESS, and the PHULIC SE CURITY or THE nation."

' ' Oh, never may Caftalia's streams divide FromSiloa's brook,and Jordan's h.llow'dtide." It is a curious in the history of Mr. Matthias that from the duties of the [ delk, and the dry rolls of diplomacy he could turn with such verfatilify to innumerable pages of ancient lore, .md miscellaneous 0 writing : that he is both a ufeful and favor- al ed officer, and an ingenious and learned wri ter. The example is fclutary to liberal and aspiring youth. They may learn that if theyforfake " the primrose path of dalli- Cl ance" and to genius add indullry, and to im- C duftry, prfe vera nee, and to perfeverar.ee, lively hope, and to lively hope, alacrity ; S th»y may conjoin the ulifui and the brilliant, and find tiim to difchnrge vsrious andcllui- a ' ing duties. From the history of this man's c ' life and writings it >vill likewise be discerned a that true literary'glorv, Snd a still higher renown, the praHV-of high duties well dif ehurged result from a r-'verence tOl"claf- a lieal learning, an ardent attachment to f 1 letters in general, a close study of long aj>- p 1 proved models, rtfpect for govt-rnnjent and j laws and hatred of all those projects of in- ti i novation, which Milton exprt (lively cslls rl " new tangled foolery." For all t!.is Mr. h Matthias appears eminent ; and grounded •' in such principles, and takin . a large and li- S ■ beral view of literarure and of life, he has produced a- work, which will live, perhaps 0 j as long as those ancients, with whole spirit t ;he appears Jo thoroughly imbued.

Adjourned till Monday. Legislature of PennlyLvania. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, February 24. ! The house met pursuant to adjournment. A letter signed Samuel W. Fiftier, ad dreffrd "to the Speaker, was read as follows, | viz. SIR, | EVER tenacious of the-dignity of the j House and uncotifcious of having fought for an occasion of dispute with any membtr ! in it, I did not expeft a complaint to he ' exhibited against me by George Logan. Dcftor ha* Hated as much of the tranfaftion, about which he has complained, as suited his own purpose ; but I think it due to the house ,\nd to myfelf, that the whole of (he matter should c. me before them. I believe it will then appear that a greater cause of complaint exists on my part, than on the part of the doctor. I would not trouble the house for a mo ment, on afuhjeft which I had considered merely as a personal one, if it were not essen tial to repel the idea of my being the ag greffar. It will be recollefted that on the evening alluded to, I had been repeatedly interrupt ed in debate, contrary to the usual praftice of the House, by calls to adjourn. Find ing it useless longer to refill the design of the interrupting Members, I did on the thircj, call, as ihe Speaker may tecolleft, fit <!owti with the remark, that I belieVed it would be best for the House to adjourn. The House then adjourned. Pafiing from my feat towards the door. I o'lferved Mr. Frailey on my right hand, and said good humouredly " yon dare not flay to hear argument," to which he replied with equal temper, '< you are mistaken, we will meet you in argument any time," so we were passing each other, when I heard -Cnci r Logan fav, « It is not ijecaufe we fear argument, ijut because we will not lis ten to your nonsense, (or d—d nonfenf;,) that we will adjourn." I flarted with a ••egree of furprile, at this ru ie and unpro voked falutatior., and turning, asked if that language was inteoded for me. He said M Jf»" > n an aogi-y tone, and in a manner expreflive of determined insult, my reply was, •« then you are a puppy," he rejoined " you are a d—d rascal," on which without time to think I gave him a blow. In a mcnient I found n yfelf pieffed. to wards the door, by a croud of members who came up, and as T was pressed back wards, I received three blows in the face by Doctor Logan's hands. The mumbi-.-s by this time bad intervened, and I loft fight of him. I take the liberty therefore to totnplaio that for language (not personal) -'"' ' * _ '• . uf*d in my place on the floor of tl>e'boufq, I wa» wantonly qucft'oncd, and abused in unhandfonrie and gross terms, and in an nn gry and menacing manner bv George Lo gan, a member of this hhufe, after the house had adjourned, ; and without the fliadow of provocation on my pavt.. .
