Gazette of the United States; PHILADELPHIA, TH'KSDAV, R.VKtJINO'i NOVKMtiEH -27. From the N. Y. Magazirte. TH.OUGHTS otf American newspapers. " Thk Ait kric ans,'* said a fplewetic friend of mihej who has travelled a. good 3pal in America, " are a nation of readers. Taking oiie with aliother, a far greater rinui. ber of the people devote feme of tlieir-tii)\e to reading, than of apy other people in the world. In Great Britain, France 4n<i Ger many, theft who do, or who tan' read, bear, a very small proportion to the reft. They are scarcely one to twenty"; but in America almost every man is a student. " They read, not casually, or now & then, but regularly and daily. They betake themselves to reading a* punctual as to dine or to labour. Surely, then, they must be a yery learned nation. All their minds mull be turned to a generous and enlightened key. Society mu2 weaj among them, a face to tally different from that of any other aati on—and is not this so ? " Why one must pause a little and en quire what is it they read ? Books ef his tory, or poetry, or science or morals ? Much depends upon their kind of reading. Are they meagre bkllads, ar fabulous legends ? If they be, can only expert them to be confirmed in every filly prejudice or rile fu perltition. A fort of volume is left, daily, at every man's door. What are its usual contents? n 'o judge of its efficacy, it is to know the tenour of it. <l If we examine them, we fliall find them to be nothing more than Newspapers; pages in. which the two factions, who di -vide the nation, perpetually,fight their bat tles ; and in every species of invedtive axd stratagem, endeavour to get the better of their adversaries. In this school, you may judge h hat progref* the American student 13 likely to make in the art of governing his paflions, enriching hi» fancy, or enlarging : hit undeiftanding." It is tlulf that the traveller affefteJ -to 1 sneer at us poor Americans for our attach- I ment t<> the noble pursuits of history and po. ] litks. '• 1 would fain know, Mr. Caviller," ' returned I, " how the time of a citizen can ' be better employed than in watching the conduct of hts governors, in dete£Ung their millakes) and, it need be, cefifuring or dif- ' placing thrm. For what end has the pow- 1 er of chooling our governors and legislators 1 been vetted in its, if we do not cxercife it with judgement and vigilance ; jf we do not inquire into their claims to our favtfurs, Htid regulate our tjioiee by the tendency of tliofe mcafutc* which we know they .will | | adept. j " But mere political difcuflions do not wholly engrots thd'c publications. Are tliey not continually supplied with intelli gence fcom all parts of the world ? And do they ihh inform us of the fate of battles, the lchemes of (katel'men, and the change of rulers in every part of the world ? And ■what objects are more sublime, more intr refting to the rational inquirer, than the successive scenes of this great drama ?, " There is.no foul among us fa fordid Sc grovelling that has not an attive r.nriofity in relation to tliilr great events. He will always-lay down hi* groat for the fake of kr.owing what they are about in Germany, Egypt or Bengal. The Icene cannot be Co remote but we have an rye to it; and Sul tan Tippoo, and Field Marshal Suwarrof, are people with whom every American, the meanest and mod laborious among us, is as intimately acquainted as with his next door neighbour" Not convinced by these reafonings,my companion continued to inlinuate, that to know the incidents of a German and Italian campaign, cannot very materially benefit a native of America, who has his bread to get by his indult'y, and his family to cherift by donieftic virtues. He <prated much about the nece fTity of limiting our attention, in the firfV place, to our own family affairs and, if those will allow any of our time to be elitp'.oy.rd iti general puifuits, he urged that it ought to be devoted to the improve ment, of the heart and the underflanding, by writings that explain to us our personal dtities, and illustrate them by familiar, pertinent and amufiug examples ; by books that advance us in the knowledge of the properties and processes of nature ; that us, or tend to make us, better fathers, husbands and neighbours, better artiils or husbandmen. " Now, no inftrufUow of this kind,' 1 he continued, " can be gained from the oickeringS of fadtion, vulgarly called politics, and from the shreds and frag ments, trifling, con trad i&ory, and vague ro be found in newspapers, and gravely dignified w th the nam® of history is any profeflion skill, any maxim of domestic economy or of social condu£t, any im provement in the condition of ourselves or our neighbours, to be drawn from these fountains ? How is any man the better in hi? tafle, his temper, or his fottune, how is any man the wiser, in any art or feienee worth knowing, by liear'mg that so many Auftrians were killed ini this affair and so many French flian in that; that the Pope died in Tuf cany, and Suwarrof in Lithuania ; that the Queen of Naples faffed from one part of Itnly to another in a Ruffian fri gate , and the like particulars. " A newspaper,. considered as one among a merchant's documents, is a very good thing ; as conveying, in due season, ,informatii n of what is to be nought and fold, of ships arrived or dc >arting, br taken, or fhipwrccked, may lot be conveniently difpented with by he owners of ihips, and the venders aiicj >uyers of commodities .; bur why fc nany of its pages should be ftuffed witi leclamation again ft individuals and wW craps of news relpetting the operation >f armies and embafladors in anothe lemifphere, is not easily conceived. ■- " If those events are worth knowing t is riditulmrfly ablurd to seek the know edge in tins >"ay. Stay till a little tinn las rendeid the ilfue of teanfW&ions certain k Hay till you have the whole of a particulai :vent, iri all its parts and incidents, befor< inlfead of indulging a childish impati ence; and eagerly fwalUwing every muttla ed lying rumour. A little time will-noi inlyaffo'd you an authentic account of ar •vent, hut will lave you all thattXpenle ol imi which is wafted in procuring and read no- premature, unauthentic, and, wlut is vorl'ej unintelligible ffatemrnts. " if the Icn .»ledge of events, pal" ing i» the other hemisphere, be of any va- U", newlpapers, as at prej'ent conduftecl. lie liable to insurmountable obje&ions ; nasniuch a.-, itillead of faithfully and accu rately affording this knowledge, tliey only :eud to confnfr, bewilder and mill. ad. In ill they give us, there is such confulion -or :ontradi£\ion of dates—such oppohte ac lounts oi the fame events—lnch idle and nceffant repetitions, that no mortal can ex ricate himfelffrom out of the chaos. After i week or a month's Hudy, a man may fafely :onclude that a ceitain battle has been ought, or a certain treaty has been ratified ; )Ut as to the caales and circumlfances that lelong t i them, the memory is burthened ■vith a dilcordant and oblcure mass. Of hefe he knows nothing, till some impartial md enlightened observer has collected, ar anged, lifted and weighed the accompany ng teflimony, and profiting by lights for ■vhich it was requisite patiently to wait, or lerply to search, lie delivers, in a narrative >f half a page, what had filled, in its impure md chaotic state, not less, perhaps, than an lundred columns of an hundred Gazettes. " But even admitting that there is some ife in perilling these desultory and imperti ient details of news, what have I, a plain armer perhaps, or -a man of some lludious phyfician, lawyer or divine—or i Country (hopkeeper, or city artisan—. vhat ha» Inch an one as I to do with his long hillory of (hipping—this, cat alogue ,:f (loops and brigs to be Gild or reiglited— thef lifts of goods, wet j-nd lry, 'o be found ai such a corn: r or in such in a;!ey ' 1 liele thing 3 occupy thiee out of our luge and overflowing" pages which I laily and are ablolutely of no use >Ut as blank p-jper. " A d uly gazette contains, when collec :ed, at a year's end, no lets than twelve lundred and fifty-two page*, and these are •cjtiiv all tit to, a lead, twelve th ufand pa {es of a good'fized o£Uvo, and these would Tiake, at le-ift, twenty-four bulky oftavc k>lnines. When we (deft uj>o.n the infi lite vauety ami quantity of valuable mat. .er which lv- squeezed into twenty icJnvos, how mud we lament when w f ""me to scan their aftual contents ! Three fourths of them ai-e nothing to the world at aige. 1 hey are of use, of temporary use, inly- to the traders—to one of the nume rous callings into Which the people are dif t'ibuted. To all the reft they are juff a> foreign as if tome eminent Uylor flionld en I his ledgers and receipt books, for the ten years, to r'.ie press, and I fiionid be lerved, every morning, with h«tf a volume full of the precious contents. What is the "argo of the (hip Xiilfall tome ? Wl.at is the bale of dry go-ids, or * thouland bag! of pi imegreen coj'ce, to be fold to-morrow by an auctioneer, to uie, who live ail bun dled miles oil", or whose purfuics have thing in them of a mercantile calf? Yet such is -.he vanity of falhion, and the ca price of the paliions, that two thouland co pies of such iWf Hull be daily printed, and difptrfed with n a sphere of an hundn-d miles. Though never read by any but traders, it is b.ought and laid upon the table, because it is connected with the news and politics of the day ; a counec. tion that is perfcd.lv incongruous, and ir rational and unnccelTary. " Among other causes for regret, whicl the contemplation of the world and it; ways furnillies to a friend of mankind, is the ahfurd or pernicious application of an indrumem capable of the liioll illultriou! and permanirnt use. It is impoliiblr t( pi ail'c t«o highly the invention of the pYesj Of all the forms of publication, that of a large sheet, filled with small type, ant printed anJ difprrfed daily, is the niod to lac admired. By this means, a man (hall have for eight dollars, in daily and convenient portions, put into his hand, without effort or forethought of his own, a quantity cqua to tu enty-four volumes in oclav*.

As to the contempt call upon the mercan tile portion of, a Gazette, it is plainly ab surd.

There is ho valid'rtafon why mercantile intelligence and general I'pecul&tions (hould not be connefted rn the fame paper.- Every merchant and townsman a citizen and a man, though eveiy citizen is not a merdTant or inhabitant of a town; and, while- one is contented' to receive (for he nerd not read) the falelman's catalogue for the (Sire of the literatiii'e or politics connec ted with it, tV trn'cfer is prompted to extend his view beyond liis profelfionul concerns by the vicinity of other topic*. As to the politics nf new.fpapers, the ca riofitjr-that is attentive to thr character & conduft rtf our rulws, so far from being merely hantile'fcr, or only moderately ofefu'l, seems to be the grand and indifpenlible duty of every citizen.
