A well grounded conviftion ef the expe

principal indutement te undertake it. YVlien

many of our youth are obliged to resort tc
other StUes, to receive even a -Grammar
School Education, the Seminary now pro

Jy ufeful.
A&uated by these considerations, many
gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Liter
ary Eftablilhmentj, have urged, with great
■warmth, the prefrnt undertaking, and ex
cited the mod flattering expectations of its
success.
Thus encouraged bf the countenance and
promised aid of liberal men, no less than by
a firm persuasion that well-regulated Aca

upon manners, habits, and principles i
it will be our earned endeavor so to-con

adequate to the complete organization of the com

of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the

PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 29.
Mr. Fknno,
IT was an error fatal to themfelT's, and
ruinous to the peace of society, when the
French, in their revolution, determined to
imitate the republic of Rome, rather than
the British coiiftitution. The former l«ms
every way unsuitable to the French, while
the latter would be beneficial. Ido not
mean that they (hould have adopted the de
fefts of the British constitution, but thofc
parts only (ascordiag to the fcnfible ideas
of the late King of Poland) which experience
had proved to be ufeful, and which were
suitable to each country. If they ht:d fol
lowed Montesquieu, rather than Tom Paine,
how glorious, inHead of difrcputable, would
have been the result! The Author of the
Spirit of Laws was a man of great capacity,
lk of an Herculean robustness of mind" ac
cording to the emphatical expression of Mr.
Burke. After twenty years study of the
science of politics, he gave the preference to
the Englilh government before all others.
He justly calls it " a beautiful fyftetn."
How did this country improve its condition
and its fame, when under the auspices ps
General Walhington and other leading menj
the people formed a constitution similar to
that of England instead of their former
rickety and ruinous system. If the federal
constitution had not been adopted, the Sab
bath might bavc been abolilhed in the United
States, and the guillotine eretted in all. its
hcrrors.
It is difgraceful ;o mankind that such a
man as Tom Paine, an ignoramus, adru*k
ard, and a fclafphemer, Ihould have had so
much influence among them. It will prove,
to use a strong line from Doitor Young,
" Guilt's blunder, and the Inudetl laugh
ef hell." Impartial posterity, when they
calmly conGder Paine's works, will won
der at the infatuation of their forefather*.
Yet this crazy seditious fellow, who was
bred to the justly defpieable trade of a (lay
maker, though ridiculously ignorant and ab
fun*, had for a time a considerable influence
upon the opinions of the people in France.
When this itinerant traitor Srft wrote there,
he had but little fßCcefs.-—ln the firfl Na
tional Aflembly of France (the constituent
Affennly as it is frequently called) out of
near a thoufend members, only eight were of
the fame antimonarchical principles with
Mr. Paine.
But the great cause of the p»r:ia!ity of
the French for a republic, i« thrir foiidnel's
for Roman authors The old Engliih wri
ter Hoboes, in hi! hiflory oi '.be raufes of
the civil Wan; in England, fays that the
civil war in the time of Charles the firft,
was greatly produced by the fonduefs fir
Greek and Roman authors, who called Mo
narchy. Dcfpotiffij, and a Republic, Liberty.
It is to be obitrved of the republic of
Rome, that it was a viiionary and impracti
cable fclieme for i large and vicious nation.
It only continued from the death ofTar
quinius Superbus, to the battle ofPharfalia,
461 years—Tbert were seven Kings before
the republic, and numerous Emperors after
wards. The divifioa of the Weflern Em
pire did not take place until the year of our
Lord 4.75 or 476 —Frora the commonly ac
knowledged Era for the building of Rome
in the year 753 before Christ, or even if we
make that Era later according to Sir Isaac
Newton's Chionology, Rome has not been
a republic near a fourth past of the time
Cnce its being originally built. If the Ro
mans were too vicious for a republic in the
time of C«far, the French are too vicious
for a republic now. No statesman of found
iudgment, who knew human nature and was
acquainted with history, could have ever
thought of a republic for France. We
know from experience that such a republic
as that of Rome, leads to anarchy ordefpo
tifin. Whereas the Britilh csnditution
may forever be the guardian of order and li
berty. Some able and learned political wri
ters fay, that the constitution of England is
little more than a well regulated republic.
d.
It is this accursed dcfire of imitating the
republic of Rome which made the French
adopt the pernicious maxim, Deleitda eft
Catthapo, thai England, which they rtfc-ru
ble to Carthage, must be destroyed. l"hi*
idea, however, may prove as vain as it is
wicked. England may probably laugh at
the threats of France, as the Prophet told
Jerusalem to laugh at the threa's of Senna*
sherib, when he went tobefiege it. " The
virgin, the daughter of Zion, laugheth thee
to fcorn—(he (haketh her head at thee."
Tbe islands of St. Marcou con lifts of about
eight acres of barren land upon the cosft of
France, between Havre and Cape de la
Hogue, which were lately seized by the gal
lant Sir.Sidney Smith, fortified and regular
ly supplied with a garrison. The Frerch
in vain attempted, with the greatest exer
tions they could stake, to retake this little
spot- How is it then probable thai they
can subdue the mighty and courageous king
dom of Great Britain ? The people of Great
Britain, from the excesses ci' the French, and
from knowing that under the pretences of
liberty, they really nscan to en£Uve mankind,
are becoming more and more united. The
naval strength of the country Teems an
unaflVilable by confederated Europe ; they
have ,a Minister of the firft talents who
has engaged the spplaufe of king, par
liament and fx-rple ; their manufactories,
trade, atid finances *.rt in the most flou
nlliiot£ condition. The national debt is

ttant and unvaried accumulation of the
finking fund at compound interest, accord
ing to the plan of Mr. Pitt ; which seems
well ascertained in the able pamphlet which
has very lately been publifted on the fubjedl
by Mr. Secretary Rose. If therefore France
against reason, juflice, and humanity, con
tinues for ever a deleterious war with Great
Britain, while the wealth of Britain increas
es and the population does not diminirfi,
France may be drained of men and money.
Some who pretend to make correft calcula
tions, fay that the French had loft two
millions and a half of soldiers before the lad
campaign with Suwarrow. And the usur
per Buonaps'te reproached the Secretary of
B-irras that he could not find a man out of
one hundred tboufand veterans that he had
left in It:ily. O war, what a scourge thou
art to the world !
It is not possible that the French can
efhblilh such an empire ,15 the Reman.
According to the prophecy «f Onniel, the
cruel and d;teftab!,e empire of Rome was
to " devour the whole earth, tread it
down, and break it in pieces." But theft
who understand the prophecies, know that
France cannot establish the iiniverfal do
minion to which (he aspires, because the
existence of other itates of great power and
magnitude is feretold. The re-eflablifti
ment of the white cockade in France, the
emblem of lawful authority, fVill the
waves of anarchy, as the latin poet fiippof
ed the white cr propitious star, refieveo,
upon its being discovered, the mariners from
the dangers of tbe ocean.

The writer of this article, will rcfume his
remarks on Hawkins's Magazine, when the
feeoitd number of that uftfoi Miscellany
[hall have been rcseived—A Sermon of
John Thornton Kirkland, a Boston Clergy
man, and among the Eul•gifts of Waftiing
tos is, in clwftity and purity of diftion, 2
rival to moll of the Oraifons- Funebres we
have read on the inelancfioly occasion of the
demise ef a warrior. As it is proposed to
examine in detail some of the bell produc
tions of this class, which have been publish
ed, we dffer a review of Mr. K's ingenious
d'fcourle to " a more convenient, feifon."
It ia underlined that the Author 'ef the Lay
Preacher proposes to publilh a liberal trans
lation of the works of Sai.hjSt, the Ro
rran Hillorian. The verlions, hitherto pub
lished, of this classic have been servile and
bald, like that of Clarke/ or ftifF and pe
dantic, like those of-Rosi and-jGoHDOK,
It is supposed that a tvanlUtion, after the
model of Murphy's Tacitus, at once faith
ful, terse and elegant, will be greeted hv
classical rtude.its, and perhaps, escape the
frowns even of the profound fcltolar. As
this is a work of ne hopeful profpeA here,
Americans being engrofled by others cares,
than fludying the beautiful reliqttts of an
cient wisdom, the translator will have it
printed by Stuahan, Cadell, and Daj
vi ks, bookfcllers, London.—ln different
parts of the United States, editions of
Kotzebue's plays are fold, and are popular.
We are aftoniljied that editions of Roches
ter's poeini, and Fanny Hill arc not as cur
rest as Kotzebue's comedies. There is as
much gond morality in the one,' as in the
other.—James Kirk, M. D. publishes it
New York a variety of pamphlets, contain
ing Medical Caatians to yotlng
See. His quackifh trumpery, and the learned
lucubrations of Bilious Lee, attach mad
American patronage, and constitute much
of American Literature. .
W. Cobbett at New York, Viai published
the history of the campaigns of Prince Su.
worow, preceded by a fleetcb of kit life and
charafter, and followed by a concise and
comprehensive history of his Italian cam
paign ; the latter by W. Cobbctt. This
book purports to be a translation from the
German of Frederick Anthing. It it a
plain unvarnilhed history.' The biography
of the Ruffian hero is amusing and inftruft
ive, and military men, who " fcek the bub
ble reputation even in the cannon's mouth"
will peruse with enthufrafm the narrative of
Ceges and battles. To the admirer of fine
prints, to the Fortnarum Sps&stor,
this edition will be peculiarly acceptable.
It contains a most expressive and finifhed en
graving of the bold and martial features of
the Chieftain of the North. It is duubted,
and with fufficient reasons whether a plate
more elegant has ever been attached to any
American publication.
The original portion of this book exhibits
the bell style of Porcupine. It is nervous
and neat. It presents the mental features
of that well known writer. We fee hisboid
nefs in every line. He " (peaks right on
and, careless of giving offence, fays itrong
things with the mod unbounded freedom.
Of inve&ive he is profufe, and he has the fi
ery ieal of Saul of Tarsus, he breathes out
threatenings and (laughters again ft his ad
versaries. His language is not Italian, it
is not silky and foft, and bland and comply
ing. It is diftinft and loud, ana perempto
ry. He makes no bows, "seldom he smiles,
and smiles in such a fort, as though he moc
ked his fpirit'' and, like one intent on mo
mentous buSnefs, neglcAs ceremony, cr des
pises it. Sensible, sagacious, £hrewd and
daring, he penetrates into the myfter'rsVf
Jacobimfm andinculpites the lake-war tfivrfs
