A Jhort aocount of the Hon. Theodorick Bland
Esq. deceased, one of the Virginia Delegation.
Mr. Bland was a native or Virginia, and de
scended from an ancient and refpedtable family
in that state. He was bred to phytic, but upon
the commencement of the American war, having
been educated in very liberal principles, he quitted
the practice, and took an a<siivt part in the cause
of his country. He soon rof" f r om a volunteer to
the rank of Colonel, and had thd command giv
en him of a regiment of dragoons. While in the
army, he frequently signalized himfelf by brilli
ant anions. In i 779 he was appoipted to the com
mand of the Convention troops at Albemarle bar
racks in Virginia, and continued in that fitnation
till some time in 1 7SO, when he was elected to a
feat in Congress. He then resigned his commiHi
on of Colonel, and continued in Congress three
| years, the time allowed by the confederation ; af
ter the expiration of this term, he again return
ed to Virginia and was chosen a member of their
State Legiilature. On the great queltioji of the
Constitution, Mr. Bland was opposed thereto, as
fuppofingit repugnant to the interests of his coun- I
try, and was in the minority that voted against
the ratification. When the Constitution was at
length adopted, Mr. Bland, acting in conformity
to the character of a good titizen, submitted to
the voice of the majority, and became a candi
date to represent the diftridt in which he lived,
in the Congress of the United States. He was
elected without opposition, and has had the ho
nor of representing them in the firft Congress
under the new Constitution. Mr. Bland's cliaradt
er in the present Congress has been such as to
merit the warmest esteem of his countrymen in
general. In his character, he was honeit, open,
and candid, and bore an universal good charadter
in his intercourse with mankind.
On the DEATH of Col. THEODORICK BLAND
HT'HO borne alike on Time's unresting bier,
A All claim from some the tributary tear ;
Y ct grief J uperiot should .bedew the grave,
Where reits the wife, the patriot, and the brave /
Oh ! fkiird alike in Councils to preside,
Or in the Field the martial band to guide,
Long shall Virginia mourn the fatal blow.
That laid her Warrior and her Statesman low !
Long call to mind, while gratitude mfpir^s,
The Man, who warin'd by Freedom'? sacred fireS,
The tranquil joys forfook of social life,
To wield the sword in fccnes of sanguine ftnfe!
His country's good, his firft, and only aim,
Undaunted, firm, in evety view the fame ! v
Nor (hall his mourning friends forget to tell*
Or on his gentler virtues tail to dwell.
Wit, Grace, Politeness, Dignity and Ease,
And all that in th' accdmplifh'd Man can please,
Infur'd applaule, and in the milder sphere
Of I'weet domertic bliss IHII made him dear!
The faithful Hulband—(now, alas ! no more !)
His weeping widow deeply shall deplore!
Th' indulgent Master many a work-worn (lave
With grateful tears his memory mall lave !
But ah! how vain each human power to charm
Mute now his Tongui —unnerv'd, alafc! his Arrti 1
Hufti'd are his lays, that once so sweetly flow'd,
On him the Muse her choicest gifts beftow'd,
His smallest praise, so high his fame was held
His lije alone, his tuneful strains excell'd !

On the PRESIDENT'S RECOVERY.
BEHOLD cooven'din mourrtful ftatc,
The virtues, long with blifc elate ;
Each brow a gloom Unusual wears,
Each heart opprefs'd with grief appears ;
" the general frievd> to pain a preyj
No longer charms each tear away,"
Said Libertys hung her head,
While fort-ow Toon the tidings spread '
Bencvohnee scarce check'd her tears,
Such asdefponding worth, reveres.
Cotwubtal Love, with anguish prefs'd*,
And Patrietifm fmotehis breast !
While gentle Pity heav'd a sigh,
And fearful rais'd th' imploring eye !
Patience strove t' appear serene, .
But anxious washer placid mien !
In gloomy mood, ftcrn JuJlice fate,
And {altitude in danger great
And Terriperance in nfanners mild,
With.GWrfy wept like a child !
When lo ! sweet Hope with joy illutn'd,
While round celestial radiance bJoom*d!
" From al!\ci grateful incenfc rife,
I come cotnmi/fion'd from the flues,
To yr Ur united piay'rs he's given,
Keitored to health by ftniling Heaven f
Who yet admits of this delay*
From bliss fupvrme, in realms of day;
Since his lov'd Country's dear success
He's ftilj preierr'ti to happiness

of the United States—and referred to a special
committee of five members : The resolution pass
ed by the House for holding the next feflion of
Congr£fe at Philadelphia, it was moved, ftiould be
referred to the fame committee. On taking the

favor of the motion.
Extract of a Tetter from Bojlon, Mjy 30.
" Unlcfs we can efteft a repeal of the excii»laws, or if Con
gress doort not interfere in our favor, wc shall experience as dull a
summer as ever we did during the contest with Britain.
" If the excise was equal throughout the union, we Ihould ac
quiesce in it most cheerfully.
" Yeftcrday Capt. Hodges arrived from Canton, by what I can
learn our East-India voyages will turn out bad this year."
The (hip Queen Charlotte, Capt. Caldwell, arrived here in 45
days from Bristol, on Thursday ; English papersby this veflel con
tain the following particulars. —That the new Emperor of Germa
ny, Leopold lid. has demanded a categorical answer from the
court of Berlin, to certain queries refpefting the war with the
Turks, and the revolted provinces, a negative on the part of Pruf
fta isexpefled, in which cafe a war between Aujlria and PruJJia. is
inevitable. Leopold was to be crowned with great pomp and
magnificence tn May ; affairs in France wear a vCty precarious af
pefl, Paris in daily alarms, the abolition of the noblefle, clergy,
Sec. having reduced many to poverty.—The Count Maillebois
had laid a plan to restore absolute monarchy—his scheme was dis
covered to the National Assembly by his Secretary, in confcquence
of which the Count decamped to Breda ; the King of France has
sent a message to the national alfcmbly, couched in terms (imilac
to those in ufe'befoie the late commotions.
Paoli has fetout from England on his return to Corjica ; the
troubles in Brabant and Flanders continue—the patriotic army
complains of, the inefficiency of their new Congrefs---and declare v
their intention of veiling Gen. Vavder Mersch with didatorial
authority. The States of Flanders on the other hand, have wrote
to those of Brabant to join in citing Vander Mersch before
them to answer certain charges against. him. The Empress of
Ruflia is entirely recovered from her late indisposition—and is
doing all in her power, personally, to fdrward opening the next
campaign. Antwerp is evacuated by the Auftrians; and 16000
of the Belgic troops have taken possession. The Britilh Parlia
ment was to be diflolved the middle of May ; Gen. Meadows is
| appointed Governor General of Bengal, in the room of Lord
Cornwallis Mr. Oakl y fdr Madrafs, and Mr. Seato.n for
Bombay. |M
