/ Mr. Fxxko,
I I attended; a public commencement lately for
I conferring deyieet ta the arts, and watfo well pleas-
I ed with the diflVrtation of out us the ynanggea.
tlcmen who i attempted ironically to support the
pretention! ot the present nge to a fupeiior degree
of wililom and improvement above al) those that
have gone before it ; that I alked the favour of
him to furnia Me with the following eatrafit from
it. Aftet faeermgly Mentioning some of Mr. Vol
taire'i inaccuracie, ia poiat of hitlory aad ancient
lueratare, he proceeded :
Thomai Paini hat profited very much bv the ,
laudable example of Voltaire. He can write com- ,
Bient» and crrticifot, on hook* without feeing them
—almost without evet having read thsm. He re
tails to you scrap* of history which he think* he
ha* read somewhere when he mi a Uoy ; or ha* :
accidently lieard somewhere ia conversation. It is j
no matter if they are not true—Suck things are
nof het in ot wit. They a«fwer every good
; ptitpofe if they amuse himfelt and the public. No
| thing, mark* more strongly the growing taste and t
■mprorcmtnt of the present and efpeeially of i
my .ma dear country, thaa the approhatioii with ,
which Thorn**'* late Writuigs have been received
b* the common people. I have mentioned the ,
Lem men pee pie chiefly, beeaufe there it unhappily
fall among your literary men a spice of the old |
baibarifm. And they affeit to turn up their noses
at some little departure* from the truth which Tho
ma* has made, and beeaufe the man want* what
tney call cruduim.—Sat Mr. Paine ha* taught u*
the most excellent knack that tlii*, or any other !
age has known : and by which we may make noble
reprisals on the ancieat* for all the.labour they have
cost ut when at fchaol—He proved in one of the
many produ<aioii» with which he ha* favoured tlii*
country that the Raynal .who, wrote abotc
, thirty, year* agd, borrowed a great parr of hi* poli
tical featiment* from him, the kid Mr. Paine.
And, to prdve it, k;.quoted a great many parallel
paflagci to hie, out of the work* of the Abbe
Raynal. Now thi* it quite a new way of turning
the charge of piagutrifm iip..n ail author. If Mr.
Pope had understood it—ia all hit imitation* of
' I oi act, he might have piovcd ihat Hoiaee only
imitated him. And I have a *roug inclination
fomeliinet to set about lo demontrate, thai Horrterl j
and Virgil, and Xenophon and Livy and the reft
of them, have just borrowed the few good thiogt
they have ftom the superior get.in* of the iri
which / have the honor to live.—l dor.'t
but I might catch Cicero and Demofthenct row
and then dealing a lenience from your humble fer
vjut. Bnt the proof* of the growmg wisdom of I
. thi* wife age multiply upon me so fall that if 1 were
i to follow my humor I (hould never have done will/
J. the pleating talk of illustrating them. See how thi
age fwar mi with book*. Even our nSrtJfei can'
- write novel* that are fit to inftruil young ladie* ia
delicacy and mcdefly, and our young men ia henor
and fotri wt>rale.
0 Our hopeful youth complain of the haidfbip; of
Oreek and Latin, can rend four or five hundred
_ these wholefottie and inftrudive book*, while a poor
■ little antiquity dog it poking hi* nose thro' Corne
- N T epo*. Thi* age hath foond out likewise that
God hin nothing to du with governmenr, with soci
ety, or vvnh good moral*, n» our pooi inivelingr H
rilanical fetheri lo think. It hat even found I
. out a trffth itil> more happy for yonng men who |

Mr Fehwo,

Qb!r ,-n," : jt»ufe ihrv are unaecompiuied with

than that irf the public, betote whom this officer
could b; arraigned, the ohjetlion might hare its
due weight : but, wbe« (. ongreU, whose province
i' is to decide >tp>>i< the p»ip' in will as
, nible' in the ciMnle of s nw week*, c..ridor re
quites, that if we cannot repaid hit declaration as
tlie belt evidence the ca.e will admit, wc should at

officer wa« compelled to com* forward witn official
itatemeutt to difprore evcir charge \vhtch i igenuity

lie would have but little leitur* to attend to the

Ttiifk ought to be the nvariable obje£t of the

attempts are daily made, by uttering and publithir.g
bold affeuio'ns, to rob d- r <:inj men of their hard

" The arrows of lati.e, when they are not point

" canrfot indeed be a more odions, nor at the fame

Mr. Finno,
The attempts of foitte of your Cojrefpondents to
createa mifuuderftanding between the United States
and the French Republic; are fnfficiently notorious,
it is also we!! known that when f.iAa wdl not Terre,
mifreprefentatiftiis are resorted to.
For this purpose a wretched pamphlet published
in France about a year ago (the 24th Vendemiairc
3d year, alias 1 yth OAobei, 1794) has been con
jured up and transformed into a report made ro the
National Convention by a member thereof. [ mean
the Pasapblet entitled La PtUliijme Anglotfrdivuilee,
mentioned in your paper of latt night.
The tatt is, Sir, that Jacques Mijrtaid the Au
thor of that Pamphlet is not. and never w«s a m«m
txr (H the National Contention, and his wwk is
not a Rtptrt of ooe 'of irs Committees or Members
of that it was indeed dedicated and pttfented
to the Convention by-tilt Author, as your Corref
pondest \ works might be, but it does not make the
Conrention cr its Member*.refponlible for any of
its fentimcnts.
1 mu# add, that the extraA inserted in your pa
per is miltiaiifla'cd in fcveral places, the idea a
others of Dtft going tQ Church on Sunday
ia Philadelphia, elongs entirely to your Corres
pondent, and not to the Ficnch,Author.
Such mifrepieftutations ought to be notic ed, for
this reason 1 take the liberty to requ.tt the itifer
k tiua of these ofcfcnations in your paper.
