Dr. Gogan, the Iprightly author of Tra vels on the Rhine, has just-published a Phi losophical Treatise on the Paflions. Such a work mufi be highly curious, proceeding from an author who is a fktlful physician anr-l an accurate fclri>lar, who has united to ex perience meditation, and, who, like the Ulysses of the Grecian bard, observed the manners of many men, and-traced the streets of numerous cities. • One of the misfortunes, under whifch lite rature nq w labours is, that the title of a work no longer announces its intention—Books of travels are converted into vehicles of po litics and systems of legislation.

POLITICAL. From the Boston Commercial GantH',- The Cnaractir sir General ALEXANDER HAMILTON; CONSIDERED and VINDICATED. [ ConduJti.] HAVING fully coufidered the little tales and {landers which have been propagated by the malicious industry of his enemies, it It* mains that we confound these pitiful calam* niators by a Ample exhibition of that galaxy of talents and fcrviset which luve drne honor both to his country and age. Would to heaven ! t possessed for this octafion the pure, slafilc, and eloquent pen, of the refi ned and modefl Kirkhnd, whom the savage spirit of Jacobinism has dragged before the public, and with its Wonted regard to truth has charged with being the writer of this piece so infinitely beneath hii talents.' In no one man in America, are cimbined so many, and such extraordinasy qualities, which writers upon human nature, have de clared to be incompatible as ift the charadler of Hamilton—all his faculties are so perfeft ly formed and so dtftin&ly marked, that they appear to have been produced, by the ffrongeft energies of To an imagi nation lively, rapid and richly (Wed with the best of nature's imagery, he unites a strong, clear, nervous and corrett unders tanding—with a memory so retentive that it fufFers nothing valuable to escape it, he poff. fles a power of refleftion, combination and arrangement wlvch renders all his ideas ufeful. Equally capable from thesis rare talents of drfpla mg flights of fancy, or the abllrufe refleftions of Icience, he has been equally distinguished at the Bar, the Senate and in the Cabinet. Great ge- ' muf-s, great oratois and great ftatefmet', have too frequently been great cowards. 1% certainly was the reputed misfortune of Cicero, of Condot eel and of Jefferson—-But Hamilton has a foul as brave as Cxsars, and a heart as pure as Cato't ; fearlefs of dangers ; proud of nothing but fiis integri ty ; covetous only of his country's good ; Ik has often dared its foes in battle, and his assailants have known full well that he is ready and willing to vindicate his own fame whenever they dare openly to attack iu With qualities so rare, and so unfrequently united, it had not been polfible, that H.mil ton could have pifled down the furretn un diftinguilhcd and i|nknown. When our re volutionary war called for talents, andfur nifhed the occasions for their exercise, Ha milton, then just of age, girded on hi* sword for the defence of his country. In his department, which I have underdo )d r was in the artillery, he soon diftinfcuilhed himfelf and with no other friends than his own superior talents, he fyeedily attrafted the attention of that excel ent judge of human nature, WASHINGTON. In the family, and peculiar confidence of 'he com mander ifl chief, he pitted a very large par tion of the war ; but a spirit so aftive as Hamilton's panted for Gtuations of more danger and more exertion. He quitted the General, aijJwas inverted with the com mand of a Tegiment of artillery. In this situation, at the siege of Ynrktcwn, he was enabled to display his courage, his firmnefs and military {kill. At the clufeofthe he refamed his profeffion, and with a rapidi ty unparelleled in the history cf the Ameri can bar, and imprafticable to any other man, he attained almost inllantaneeuflv, the moA eminent reputation. The confidence of his fellow citizens at this period, plated him in the Gongrefs of the United Statrs Where he Jirst acquired the hatred of the Gallic fadl ion, by opposing the intrigues, the secret but fcandaloue intrigues of the Cabinet of Ver sailles. In the date of convulsion, distress, disorder and decline which eniued the peace of 1783, there was no room for the exertin of superior talents until the year 1787, when the Convention which framed our excellent Constitution were aflembled. In that illuftriouß body, Hamilton was a powerful, influential, able and important mtmfcer—ln the cowrie of those debates, he developtd that intuitive perception, that strength and clearness of mind, that knowl edge of human nature, and that acquaintance with the interests, wants and charafter of the American people, which have since been so confpicious in him—after the promulga tion of the Constitution, he was indefatiga ble in his exertions for its adoption—the great and important State of New-York, without which our union could not have been perfe&ed, was the moll opposed to the Constitution By the unremitted exertions of Jay, Hamilton, and King, the objeft was atlaft effefted, and nothing contributed more largely to the elucidation and defence of that excellent fyftcm of goverßment, than the admirable essays under the title of the Federalist, of which Hamilton deservedly has the principal nn^rit.'—After the firft «r« ganization of the government, it became important to feleft the greatest talents to fill the different departments. The finance* of the nation exhibited a melaucholy and confufed afpedt ; no branch ef Revenue ex isted. The promises of the government were treated with contempt. The habits of the people were avef: to the regular re ftiaints of a well conduced finance. Or dinary talents wsra not fitted to the magni tude of the exigency. The requisite abilities must necefiarily be prodigies, and the country could not and woulJ riot offer the rewards neceflary to at tempt so Herculean a talk. Washington had seen the talents of Hamilton in the dawn of their splendour, and eight year* absence had not effaced the recolleflion of them. He knew also the d'tfinterejied nature of his foul, that his country's fnccefs and glory was all the reward he would alk.— From the Potowmac he looked northward, and drew from the bankj of the Hud fori,
