attack on him at the council board. Here
the philosopher of Pennsylvania concuted
with his fipus friend the plan of a destical

carried into praftice. and Williams opened
a chapel in Margeret street. Carendifh square.
But the complexion of his discourses was
r«lifhed neither by churchmen nor dissenters.
The above paragraph is extradVd from a de

may fugged matter for much rcflrdVion that
even in such a book we find a candid state
ment of the daring and wicked fcheroes of
that old man, whom it has been so falhiona
b!e in America to praise. The record is
honorable to the new philosophy. Franklin
instigates an arch villain to open a fcbool of
vice and irreligion. Its doctrines were so
detestable, so flagrantly bad, that they could
not be tolerated by the listeners of any feft.

HE might have said so at Jerusalem, in
the year ef our Lord, four or live : But in
the enlightened eighteenth century, the de
praved palate of the moderns often prefers
new wine to old. This absurd preference
was deemed an impoflible thing, in days of
yore, by an excellent judge, whose univer
sally negative pvopofition, in the text affords
an indubitable. proof, that his age was not
the age of innovation.
How unfortunate for the benighted Jews,
that Thomas Paint was then unborn, and
did not print Common Sf nfe, at the f'lot of
the Mount of Olives. Hnw many inltnift
edreaders would have staved to pieces their
old winecaiks, and, with an air of
dence, f wallowed huge draughts from the
new.
But though the men of Pale dine were de
nied the privilege of examining wipe, of
ariything' elfe,'by the lamp of Paine, we
enjoy its full-blaze, and may discern the im
prrfefticm of many old things, such as old
principles, old government, or an old Bible.
Nothing can flake the present thirst for no
velty. This is the age' of experiment ; we
defct'the old and.fsfe way, and turn aside
eagerly into Untried paths.
I imported, in thtf last vessels from Eu
rope, many new books, and a brilliant (hew
they made, ranged on my. study fhelf, by the
fide of my dog's eared Shakespeare and worm
eaten St. Bernard. I then examined cri
tically, the style and the sentiment of mo
dern literature. I quickly found that the
fashionable fine writing of the day, was like
new winr, crude and mawkish. No man
who has read Atterbury and South, Addi
fon and Goldfmlth, will prefer this verbose
trash, laid 1, fcorufully glancing at a Lon
don magazine, to the flerling {enfe and ini
mitable expression of my old authors.
A few evenings ago, I heard a pert col
legian declaiming -against the fltldy of Gre
cian and Roman pages. I then began to
indulge one of my reveries. Here is a babe,
whose ftiallow brain Cannot bear the Faler
man of Horace, and who Chokes with the
grape Jloiie of Anacreoti. t shall fee him in
I moment running after some of the small
wines #f the country, to a Frenth press. I
was right; he began to deafen me with the
praises of Mirabeau's speeches, Gregoire's
report, and the Abbe Condorcet, andwifhrd
that Virgil had been S poet of Langdedoc.
May American students, I ejaculated, when
they negleft tlie claflicks, and Drefer a

ANECDOTE OF SUWARROW
In the campaign ®f the allied Ruffian and
Aullrian forces against the Turks in Mol
davia, 1789, the allies were separated. into
three divifians prince Potemkin commanded
the right, the prince of Saxe-Cobourg the
left, and Suwarrow the centre. , The Tiusk
ifli forces, very superior in numbers, were
commanded by the grand vizier, a roan of
considerable military flcill. He made a feint
to njarch against the diviGon under Potem
kin, and then marched abeut and wheeled
again!) Saxe-Cobourg. Suwarrow, aware
of tne danger in which the prince jiwft he
placed, marched immediately witft -Boco
troops to Ivis assistance.—Such was the ra
pidity of his march, that of the 8000 only
3500 reached the army of prince Cobourg,
the reft being compelled to flop through ex
ce'ffive fatigue. Suwarrow arrived at mid
night in the prince's camp, which the Turks
were waiting for day break to attack. A
council of war was called, in which the pre
vailing opinion w.as, for Suwarrow's troops
ta'repofe themfelve«—Cmfcious how fatal
the smallest delay would be, Suwarrow ex
claimed, with his chara£ler^' e energy—
" Battle is the repose of my troops !—We
mud attack the enemy in an hour, or all is
loft."—The attack was accordingly made,
and the Turks, ten times suptrior in num
bers, were routed, and the three divisions
of the allies were enabled to form a junc
tion.
