MUCH diftiirbar.ee to the order of ra
tutff ha-, in aU ages. 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. It is believ-
Ed, that »hat, to vulgar eyes, appears a sim-
J>!e, harcnlefa paOk of carcU, is nothing less
than the oppnfelefs. oailuceus of Mercvry ;
by the latent energies of which (lie summons,
T tt her-will, a congregated throng of spec
tres, fprights, ostlers, ladies, waiting-maids
and ftattfmen, Ivho, with anflgUd hope and
fear, hang on ler lips to learn the awards of
Pate- She, Minos like, declares their lots :
-
Spells, philters, globes and fphtres of palmiflry ;
A ligi't in one hand the gipsy bears.
In th' other, a prophetic fitve and fljears."
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

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.

The privateer men finding themfelelves com
