LONDON, July 28.
A ridiculous account 19 published in some
of the papers that at the b ittfe of Marengo,
the two armies were about the nunnbtr,
25.000 each. Is it pofiible tjiat any body
can give out such nonfenfr as true ? The
corps of the Imperial army which blockaded
Genoa was, according to every account,
about 15 oo<s. men In fa<& a moment's
refle&ion will /how that a smaller number
cou) 1 n>t have blockaded Genoa where Maf
fena had i»,000 men, besides the Genoese
patriots. General Elfnitz, from Savona to
Nice, at the Col di Tenda, had, at the very
least, 'O more on the different points
he held. The corps of General Haddick
aud Keim in the neighbourhood of Turin
Were not under 10,000' making, 111 all,
40 000 men. In truth, this computation is
probably below the rea' ftrenght of the Itn
perialifts. The new army which Bonaparte
brought into Italy, altogether, is computed
at upwards of 70 ®oo, deducing those
killed in the different anions, those that pe
netrated towaid, the Mantuan, and those
left to blockade seven or eight fortreffes,
he could not have 50,000 at the battle of
Marengo. It is likely that both had some
where about 40 or 45,000*

By a letter from a Gentleman, dated,
Lifford, June 28, 1800, ire learn that on
the top of a boggy mountain near Holy
hill, two miles from Strebane, on the «state
of Lord Abercon, some Itgue building* of
an oval form have been discovered ten feet
under the turf ; two had been cleared,
which was measured forty five feet in the
longest diameter ; th- y contained many par
ty walls, one door, and no window ; the
fiones cemented with strong lime morter.
A strong wall perfectly regular, has also
been traced for nearly ha'f a mile, where
the turf has off to the depth men
tioned, that is ten feet ; and wherever the
turf bad been cleared away, they came to
a good foil, bearing evidently marks of the
plough. Various infti-iiments of iron and
brass were found in the buildings of uncom
mon shapes. The adjacant farmers have
begun to demolish the buildings, and to
take away the larger (tones for building, in
dning which they find much difficulty from
the ft ong cement.

INFORMATION.
A gentleman lately from Ulfler county,
brings us the following very curious and in
tcrtfling information, that about twelve or 1
thirteen miles to the weft of New Burg, a
Dutchman, by the name of Maftern, was
lately digging for marie on a low pi«ce of
ground, where this manure is generally and
plentifully found in the neighbouring coun
try ; that having arrived n«ar the bottom
of (he llratum of marie, he'ftruck tip the
bones of a huge animal, about tea or twelve
feet from the furface of the earth ; some of
the bones they immediately procured, but
the water ru(lie<l in with fuch| rapidity the
persons employed were obliged to desist ;
since which time, the neighbours have made
another attempt to obta.n the whale of the
skeleton ; they succeeded in part ; several
of the bones of thp hind legs have been dug
out, which are more than fourfeet in length,
and measure round the joints upwards of
fotty inches in circumference, aisd on t'<*e
solid bone, thirty-fix inches ; the bones of
the back were also obtained in part, and the
orifice occasioned by the decay of marrow
is more than three inches in diameter ; the
upper teeth which arc perfeftly found and
white, measure seven inches in length, and
are nearly four b'oad. From the calcula
tions made by the best informed physicians
and gentlemen of the country, who have
seen the bones already procured, it is thought
the animal must have been be'ween fifteen
and twenty feet in height when alive.
This is the seventh or eighth skeleton al
ready discovered within the vu inity of 8
miles, from a common centre, since the
citizens of that country have been in the ha
bits of draining these places for manure,
which has not been cuftotnary but a few
years.

BALTIMORE, September if.
On Friday evening a person who had usu
ally been employed in driving a cart for a
tallow chandler, fell down and expired, in
Dutch alley, near Howard street. Several
Jnjtenecs of this melancholy nature have re
cently transpired in this city. Some attri
bute them to the fever ; it seems impossible
however, that aay disease can be so virulent
as to create such instantaneous mortality.
The person above alluded to, is said to have
been in a (late of intoxication for several
days previous to this disease—He firft at
trafted notice, by uttering several piercing
cries, as if in great b«dily distress, then fell
and expired.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous
epoch, the only question to be asked by ev
ery American, laying his hand 011 his heart,
is, " fhtill I continue in allegiance to
GOD—\ND A RELIGIOUS
PRESIDENT;
Or impiously declare for
JEFFERSON— AND NO GOD !!!
To Readers and Correspondents.
The witty and ingenious article, '' a new
Chapter of the Chronicles" is an admirable
imitation of the Oriental stile. Its latire is
(harp, its narrative true, and we hope its
lcope will reform, or mitigate the savage dis
ciples of democracy.
Seldom have we had occasion to approve
a more true, forcible and well reasoned Es
say, than that of " Vitßvs"on the lubjeft
of" the American C smmiffioneri at Paris."
The statements and deductions of this writer
exhibit both the fairnefs of candourand the
solemnity of truth. . To the lukewarm party,
on'the one hand, and ta flagitious rogues
and swindlers 011 the other, the remarks of (
a bold, and honed man will found
both harfli and hateful. But they " will
discourse fwfeet mulic" to the lover of the
true interest of America ; to the man of hon
or and high mind ; to him, who is far ele
vated above the vile nnre of avarice ; and
who disdains to cheat, even a rival or a foe.
The Medical Kffay, though it be ligned
by the odd and unlucky word," Contagion,"
lhall be inserted. The author never reasons
more fenlibly, than when he combats that
windmill doiVine of the dtmesttc origin of
" the \ellow Fiend - " All ftientmc prn-
Ull £*tj£lll4 in a. /~lea 1' on
ihis topic (hall receive the Editor's attention.
In the moral and political eondition of A
u.erica there arc many real faults j aud. Ho
n. ftly and laudably is that writer employed,
who demonstrates the evil, and folici:s the
remedy. But the physical detects of her
climate are not luch as to require many a
Doctor. Our air is reasonably pure, and
our fktcs, if not clement, like thole of France
and Italy, still are not frequent sources of
deaih and desolation. The Yellow Fever is
not one of our cardinal deformities. It does
not lurk in every niarlh, or dabble in every
fewer. This kind of contagion is from a
iraad. Our lever of domestic origin is the
hectic heat of restlessness, and the pa
roxysm of speculation. We are infelied by
the contagtoji of democracy, and vexed by
the plague of Jacobiniiin.
" Angulo" is a very harsh and puritanic
writer. We do not wilh to give cutrency
to luch bitter invetlive againlt lovely wo
man. We fufpedt that" Angklo" is num
bed by the Stoic apathy, or, rather like
his nameCikr. the «™
Shakespeare, aff«ds to be rigid, the bitter
to conceal his properties.
Stands at a guard with envy, fearce confefles
That his bloud tl iwi, or that his appetite
Is more to bread thin Hone."
The di ercnt gay and sportive writers,
who furnifli us with witty ode and epigram
at the expente of some of the wore notorious
Jacobins, are entitled to our particular thanki.
Nothing wounds a malignant d. mocrat more
than the keen javelin of wit. The popular
ballad w an Admirable vehicle for fatuizing
knaves and fools. Hohack well delcnbes
the terrors of the—tota CarJuiitur uibe ; and
we exhort each trembling caitiif of the Ja
cobins to remember that
" Who'er offends at some unlucky time
Slides into verse, or hitches in a rhyme
Sacred to ridicule, his whole lite long,
And the fad harden of some merry long."
" Dick Vulcan" is an ißgenious arti
ficer, his forge is well conftrudled, and he
burnishes very brightly. We have looked
narrowly into his (hop, and we discern there
much more Jirt, than smoke.
The liejt and fuccintt writer of an Eflay

THE CLERGY.
Versus
JEFFERSON.
WHAT a coil is here about the condu&
of a certain Clergyman ! He has, it seems,
terribly offended those who chance to hold
opposite opinions in politics. He has been
feledled as the mark for ta&ious Rhetorick
to aim its (hafts', and for scorn to point her
Jinger at. And what is his offence ? How
has he difgractd his iicred fun&ion ?
Has he betrayed any confidence ? Abused
any trull ? defrauded any one of
or re putation ? Has he denied the truth of
the do&rines, wh ch he has undertaken to
teach ? Has he infiimated, in private dr pub
lic, that religion is nothing but a set of ab
ftradt notions, naked points of faith, very
convenient indeed, to be held in
but of no weight in the pra&ical concerns
of life, tif no pewer to influence our con
duct in the mod important relations of
society ?
If these have been his crimes woe betide
him. He will delerve to be publicly degra
ded from h« office, and consigned to tlio
chastizing hand of his God, and his con
science. Every hoped man (hould seize a
rod, and join to scourge the famaified, yel
lain through the world. And has this Cler
gyman incurred this severe penalty ? what,
X again a!k, what inonfirous offence has he
committed.
Why truly he has ventured to difluade
his hearers from exalting to the
office in the slate, a man who is without
religion. Such is the deadly fin, that has
(Locked so iruny timid consciences, and
awakened the indignant eloquenc of so many
pens.
We are fooh tired ot wo'nd ring at the
inconfiffencies of prejudice, afid passion.
For my own part lam not furprifed-at any
thing under this fun. I expert that snow
will tie coal black to the blind. That a
Hurricane may blow its Jill without molesting
the {lumbers of the deaf, and that a mind
occupied by prejudice and passion, will
hear and feel, in a way different from other
minds, and like a diseased bidy, will convert
the mod wholefoine food into poison, and
the sweetest beverage to four. lam not
surprised that men who have embarked their
all in the tuccefs of some great cause, fhouid
heartily hate, and bitterly rail at, every
thing that impedes their way to the goal, of
all their wishes, and that their judgements
(hould be fairly topsy-turvied, and the whitest
purity fhouid seem in their eyes, like the
dunncst pall of bell.
For instance, I am not surprised that a
Clergyman fhouid be reviled for discharging
one of his most sacred duties, when his
efforts happen to disfavour our own cause.
In such cafe, I will not even permit him to
praise religion. To lay the lead IVrefs upon,
piety ; to suggest the leafl connexion be
tween our religious pi inciples,andour condtidt
in society. I ain not only enraged at hira, at
thcenemy of my personal hopes, but in the
midflof my angry tumult?, I even imagine
that there is something impious in his con
duct, I find in it, not merely error in poli
tics, but a breach, of religious, and pro
i; Clonal duty.
What! a Clergyman tell me, from the
very pulpit, that religion is aprccticjl tfting,
a'law to govern us in all our adlions : to
make us good parents, goad children, good
Husbands, good neighbours, and above all,
good citizens ! attempt to persuade us that,
in the eyes of our God, it is of some mo
ment whom we cliufe to be our law-givers ;
and our leaders in peace and war ! That in
this choice we fhouid be auxioufly attentive
to the moral qualities of those whofeek our
favour ! That as all morality rests upon
religion ; all security that power will not be
abused, and trust betrayed reposes upon virt
tue, whose foundation, and whose foul, is
piety, we fhouid instantly rejett him who
has not tbis grace !
All my resentment is awakened at such
absurd, such p'ofane conduft. I feel an
"'Ami «cal to - defend the pulpit from doct
rines so unsuitable to it, the facied f Idffrom
such wolfifh intiufion. I revile him lor
flepping out of his province, and instead of
inculcating charity and pe,ice, fubmiflion to
authority, and a heavenly abflraition from
earthly things, I charge him with sowing
discord and fofterm£ difobedlence, and re
bellion. To make the church a place lor
explaining or enforcing the social dutie», as
members of a family, a neighbourhood, and
a country ; is altogether unpardonable. I
talk to him about the example of Christ, wliq
gave to God \fhat was God's, and to Caifar
what belonged to h*tn, and warn him against
turning.
The houfa of preaching and of prayer,
Into a Crffae houfeor Fare.
Such is the colour of that film, with
which felf-interefl has vieled my vision that
to exertife the lawful privilege of chilling
hiu> who ftiould rule over me, s the fame
thing with kicking a Conllable who attempts
to arrest me as a rioter ; that to deliberate
upon the merits of the several candidates,
and to exhort n>y neighbour to a wife choice
is the fame thing with drubbing a taxgather,
who demands my contributary dollar ; that
to enforce the connection between religion,
and the conduft of life is an impious attempt
to unite those things which God has ordain
ed to he separate, ard that to enlarge upon
the duty of chufing those for the supreme
office in our nation, who are believers in
God, and consequently, have one of the in
clifpenlible rcquilites of virtue, is to violate
our duty as a public teacher Jof piety andt
virtue.
lam not fatisfied unlfft he who puts on
the clerical gown, puts off, likewise, the man
and the citizen, perhaps, indeed, as I have
no interest in his silence, on the duties of

much he prates about tbem, but when he
