TOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. ODE TO HENRY. WHAT bliss the voice of Music gives, While transport in the bolora live*, While virtue, borne on every found, Spreads love and happiness around ! The Soul in purer vision fees The ills of human Jife retire ; And Adoration loads the breeze, With praises that to Heaven aspi r e. flow few the happy power possess Thefympathizing heart to blcfs With pictures of ideal joy, Which strengthen virtue, not destroy ! 7hey are the Muse's favorite Care ; Perfeaion thro' their fouls she breathes And crowns them, faireft of the fair, With Glory's never-fading wreaths. And He whose song their voice infpirea With holy Pleasure's warm defiies ; With power thetrembling lyre to move lo accents of immortal love ; Shall, robed in modest merit, shine H's country's wonder, and its praise ; While, bending at her moral shrine, To Truth he consecrates his lays. Him shall the love of nations hail, Bom o'er Oppreflion to prevail ; Virtue's own hand (hall round his tomb Twine circlets of immortal bloom ; The Loves eternal incense burn ; The Muses there the Lyie shall place ; And Gloiy shall the simple urn With Henry's name, in transport, grace.

When he enters court let his hat comply with apparent reluctance, and just uncovered, thrust himfelf into the molt advantageous, conspicuous, and dignified feat, to the exclulion of older prac titioneis foi, to bystanders it will give him an appearance of genuine superiority. When he happens to be retained in a cause. let him make as many motions to the court as possible, no matter how impertinent, frivolous, orjndecent; for although rhey may be fruitlefs and unimportant, and consequently despised by the decerning few, yet the majority of numbers among the ordinary audience, will impute his loquacity and zeal to a redundancy of profound knowledge and talents, capable of miraculous improvement. If tie should be engaged in the fame cause with an old aud experienced counsellor, let him rife magnanimously, upon all interlocutory and occa sional queltions, and without servile consultation offer and obtrude his sentiments upon the Court in a harjh, sonorous, authoritative tone of voice, as if conscious of his innate superiority this will infallibly magnify or stretch him in the eves and opinion of the multitude. It will be a happy circumstance, if he can com pose his in ufcles to a fixed gravity when addreflina the Bench, and in a dictatorial ffyle perempro rily declare that he Jhall proceed until he is flopped. This manoeuvre has produced wonderful effects on the court and attendants ; for where is the Judge, Advocate, or Juryman, who can withstand l'uch knock me down arguments ? He ought likewise to treat his predecessors in practice, and superiors in knowledge and expe rience at the bar, with supercilious indifference, if not sovereign contempt. If they peaceably fuffer hnn to pass without applicable animadver sions, his clients may consider it a tacit acknow ledgement of his diftinguirtied abilities. When managing a cause in court, by all means let him browbeat, blackguard, and abuse the oppo site party and his witnefles as much as possible— for this will insure the confidence of his employer and loosen the pnrfeftrings, whilst ten to one' some other candidate for litigation will set him down as an undaunted adversary, and more re fined and poli/hed characters, (as well as abori ginals) have sometimes worfbipped evil fpiritsto keep on good terms with them.

LITTLETON. March 2J, -1791 // 'A Writer in the American Mercury, utidtr thiTitlc of " The Patriot," concludes his fccotid num ber with the following Proportion —which is rcpub lifhed as a hint worthy general attention.

Penftoner Burke, in his " Reflections," thus endeavors to abuse the philanthropic Price for his Sermon delivered before theßevolu tion Society—"Atfirft," fays he, " I was at alofs to account for this fit of unguarded transport, t knew, indeed, that the fufferings of Monarchs make a delicious repast to some fort of palates. There were reflexions which might serve to keep this appetite within some bounds of temperance. But when I took one circumstance into my con sideration, I was obliged to confefs, that much allowance ought to be made for the Society, and that the temptation was too strong for common discretion ; I mean the circumstance of the Io Paean of the triumph, the animating cry which callettf" for all the BISHOPS to be hanged on thelatnp posts," might well have brought forth a burst of enthusiasm 011 the forefeen consequen ces of this happy day. I allow to so much enthu siasm some little deviation from prudence. I al- Ijw this prophet to break forth into hymns of jay and thanksgiving on an event which appears like tije precursor of the Millenium, and the pro jected fifth monarchy, in the deftrudtion of all church establishments. There was, however, (as in all human affairs there is) in the midfl of this joy fotnething to exercise the patience of these worthy gentlemen, and to try the fuffering of their faith. The adtual murder of the King' and Queen and their child, was wanting to the other auspicious circumstances of this " beautiful day The atftual murder of the Bifliops, though called for by so many holy ejaculations, was also want ing.

By Mr. Stewart Wilkins who arrived here the 20th instant, up the Ohio, from the Kenhawa we have the intelligence, that, just before his leaving that place, a man had come in alraoft with fatigue and hunger, who was one of that were coming up the river in a loaded with provisions for the French fet flement at Galliapolis ; and that 20ofthefewhofe turn it was to walk on shore and hunt, were fired upon by a partty of about 30 Indians concealed in a thick bushy place, and nioft: probably all cut off but himfelf. The boat, probably, with the reft on board, had returned down the river. This happened on the 27th of March, nearly oppofue, the mouth of the Sciota, 011 the Virginia fide of the river. By an express which arrived from Venango last week, we are given to understand, that the settlers at Cofewago, were leaving it, and com ing down to the garrison at Fort Franklin ; that from every appearance a stroke was intended on that settlement, as several parties of unfriendly Indians had been discovered by scouts that were out : that the Cornplanter and Halftown had upwards of 100 warriors in and about the garri son, and have runners continually out to bring intelligence, they being determined to proteift the garrison at all events, f: om any insult.
