U*en allnbed to the nugic agency or woii.cn* To account for iuchan imputation, without acknowledging the fadt, appears feme what difficult. Whe tlict} Prom their known influence over the morrtl wovii!, that ovtfr the'natural lias, by analogical deduiUor', bc«n derived ; whether, from their acknowledged ability to excite Cottim< x ti«ns among the afleClions and pas sions of the heart, it has been concluded that they poflefs like powers, over the ele ments of the natural creation, admits of doubt. Certain it is, that, from the earLiell times, there has been a generation of won der-working females, whoie pretentions to otcult scienCe and supernatural power luv.e procured them the notice, the admiration and the moUf.Y of the credulous multitude. I have been led to thcfo general remarks, by unaccountable infatuation or enchant- flnent which appears to be praiiifed upon the inhabitants of this city, and, particularly, tipon unmsrvied ladies, by one ot these fe male lriaijiciifns, who is said to have set up her eortinam, and opened a commerce with other worlds, Ifl a certain mugic celt in Race Rreet. I am ilhable to ascertain the particular tiode in which (he operates to produce in tie mir.d that derangement of the ration- al facilities, that insatiable curiosity, and that wiftftf 1 anxiety to pry into the fecrt ts Of futurity, by means of whicn (he nightly tp her unhallowtd myftcries, such jnoltitudes ef deluded mortals.

TKili equipped, wife and mvfterious in her «fpe£t aS the fag'aeious owl, and big with futtine tieftiny, as bat by wanton boys blown up, (he bursts with {Welling divination, and, to the astonished crojvd, discloses —— What ? That thole who marry will have husbands, and tliofe who marry not, by Jate's unalterable decrees, mult live old maids, or else no maids at all. Such and To marvelous is her matchltfs skill 1 A iiill stronger proof of lupernatural agency, is the mighty charm, by which (he blunts the edge of sensibility and holds here female audience, urnibalhed, to hear what she relates. Strange as it mult seem ! the etrt of the modefl, virtuous and chad?, ■which, in other circumstances, would looner be flopped forever than listen to the mod te mote ami Con of an improper nature, here become pleased r. ith unchaste and indecent itifinuatiolis, apdev?n patient of downright obfeehny. Ladies, who in th? free, unbi iilTed exetcife of their rational faculties, Voiild rather die like Lucretia, than live fuf peited ef dilhonor, will here tamely submit to_ hear their virtue questioned, in pre fence of £he multitude,. and (mile at the imputation ur prediction of thof; " deeds of darkness," which modtfiy will not name and charity re fdfes to crrdit. " 'Tis pitiful, 'tis wonder cus pitiful" to behold in what manner the graces of mod. Hy and the charms of beauty art here out-charmed, infatuated, and profli tated at the flrfine bf all-potent magic. All will allpw that great and numerous £vils v penjitipus to private peace and public if'manners, liece(Tan!y flow from tliforders like thefev The persons thetv.fi-lves will bear me »itfcefs,. that, when once they have so ■ fat- indulged their curiosity as to make the fjiperitner.t, ho-wever relolutely they may have fortified their minds against the belief of any miraculous skill in this pretended ex pounder of the decrees of Heaven, there has flill remained some traces of uncertainty. Some trifling cirtumfHnce, to the— unac- C'ouAfable, feme ambiguous, unmeaning hint, »hich their own knowledge of f-lifts, affifled by their own invention, could alone appro priate to any a&nal event, makes room for doiftt; »t kail, if not credulity, to keep pos session of the initid. This alone is fufficient h ta (Kfttirb the imagination, to awaken un t»(t>Bab}e apprehensions or falfe grounded ftfjHcjpqrJ, to unsettle' the serenity of the . telbj(»*,»nd to {hake that calm and Heady which rational people (hould moie ' Wnfideutly repose in their God than in the trickc of a prefeffed conjurer. I w&uld not fee thus serious, upon a ludi crous fubjefit, were it not, unfortunately, true, that many, in honed simplicity, have gone so far. as, Hucffe<ft' v ' to believe, an ignorant, ft!!y wofijan lias been able to rend the veil-which the God df nature had kindly drawii between us and futurity, lind, by dint ot frivolous rites and unmeaning ceremonies, to lay open to the view of mortals, tliofe se crets which He had wifely intended,forever, to have concraled from their fight. Such ideas, and the conduft which results from them, are not merely frivolous and ridicu lous ; they are absolutely criminal and ipi pious. buch is the disorder: but what shall be the remedy ? Reasoning cannot effed it : tor, though reason is a u goodly.'pearl," it has no beauty or value in the fight of thole who direct their cfcs above it, into the re gions of mystery and wonder ; and eVcii the wholclome precepts of morality, seen through these' mists ol ignorant cf»dirhtv, appear to loft* their excellence arid lultre. In a cafe thus-difficult, it is the part of* a prudent physician to proceed with caution. I lhall, therefore, adopt no final nleafurrs 'till farther investigation iliall have enabled me to prelcribe with greater confidence of fuccets. In the menn time, I would earnest ly entreat every lady, wkofr difcietiop has preserved to her the enfeioufnefs of spotless manners, to abflain entirely from this infectious place, and to resist, with for titude, every beginning of io idle and mif chievous-a curiosity. Do not,' my fair iriends, expole your delicacy to the fcrutinv and looie remarks of the unknown and pro miscuous multitude's, who nightly-convene there, for other purposes than t.hofe of Con •iVting the fortune teller. Leave it to those who have iufficsent cayfe to apprehend what a lutitre "day may bring forth" to calm their apprclieiifions, to prove their virtue or prepare againtt dilgrace, by the alfiftance of oracular refportfes. " Good name, in wo men, is the immediate jewel of their fouls," and-fn.ee for fame", U requireb more than mortal testimony to gain belief, i: is but reasonable that Aicli flioajd be liKiulged with an opportunity of having- their virtue attest ed by authority which cannot be doubted. It is, therefore, rr.y advice, that for the pre sent, no obstruCtion be thrown in the way of th®fe who are aifpofed to visit the fortune teller, and that i: be taken for grafted, that, were it proper, they could give convincing' proof of the propriety and uecellity of the liK-afuiv, It is reported, tliat tliere arc certain of the great council of our nation, whom it delighttth to consult the iiiterefts of thei' country, in this repository of occult fcielH* ; and, is I would, by no means, be inftiunvn tal in depriving government of any necefTary or ufeful aid, I would recommend, that eve ry such lariy a. before alluded to, Ihould have the privilege of introducing one mem ber of Cong.ets. I would likewise requ (V the police of the city, !inr.e they think ii proper that a public office of This" kirfd "tl'rciuld be sept open so the benefit of the citizews, that they w<3uld increase the notoriety of it, ancl cause its moral and political tendency to be more ful ly undttftood, by •rdenr. the fallowing in scription to be placed over tl door.

Kobefpierre and The People, An intelligent and well informed French gentleman lately in this city, fpeakirig of that bloody tyrant Robefpierrc and having said, " That he was not a man of ability. That he was 110 orator, a very ungraceful speak er, extremely ugly in his per Ton, and a poor timid creature," was alked how it waspofji ble that a man such 3s be had described could for a moment, much leis f r a length of time'govern so'"great, so intelligent a nation as the French ; rule with an absolute sway such a body a® the national convention, and dispose as he did of theltves and fortunes of the French people ai hitcaprice dictated ? answered, the i-eifon is plain. He prondun ce'd the words The people better than.any man in FranceJ andfo sensible was he of their'effeft, that in a difcoyrfe of fifteen minute he would ufe'the words forty ti;ues." Thus while that inhurtian and bloody monfler was lending this same people by scores from day to Jay to the guillotines, he by the mere use of the magic words tin peo~ pie, and by prnfeffing great regard for their rights and liberties, made, them believe he was their only friend and prote6fpr. It is confidently believed tha; a very preat majority of,our»xclulive patriots, our thorough going democrats and jattobins use the words here with precisely the fame in-J' tention and with full .41 much -real regard for those righu-as Robespierre. <toette flift.
