From hit: London Papers, Account of Thomas Toeham^ £From Ifutton'a Hiflory of Derby.3 Wli le.i rn from private accounts, well attelled, that Thomas Toplsam, a man who kept a public house at Ifliugton, perform-d furpriling feats of flrength j i\s breaking a broomstick of the hrft magnitude, by Itriking it again!* his bare arm lifting two hogftieads of water ; heading his hoife over the .turnpike gate; carrying the beam of a a soldier his fiitlock, See. Hut however belief might dagger, (he soon recovered herfelf when i itui lecond Satnpfon appeared at Derby a? a per former in public at a (hilling each. Upon applica tion to Ali4e:#nan Cooper for leave to exhibit, tht magiftrafe «as surprised at Ihe floats he nropof.'d ; and ;rs his appearance was like that of* other men, he requeued him te (trip, that he might ermine whether he was made like them ; but he was found to be extremely muscular. What were hollows un der the arms and hams of others were filled up with ligaments in him. He appeared near five feet ten, turned of thirty, well made, but nothing lingular : he walked with a Imall limp. He had tormeiiy laid a wager, the usual decider of disputes, that three horses could not draw him from a polt which he could cl ip with his feet ; but the driver, giving them a sud den lash, turned them aside, and the jerk had broke his thigh, The performances of this wonderful man, in whoni were united the llrcngth of twelve, were, rolling up a pewter di(h of seven pounds, as a man rolls up a (heet of paper—holding a pewter quart at arm's length and squeezing the fide- together like an egg (hell—lifting two hundred weight with his little linger, and mpvingit gently oyer his head* The bodies he touched seemed to have loft their powers of grav iation. He also hrpke a rope, fatt ened to the floor that wold fultain twqnty hundred weight—lifted an oak, table fix feet long with hit teeth, though h; if a hundred weight was hung to the extremity ; a piece of leather was fixed to-one end for his teeth to hold, two of the feet ftcod up on his knees, and he raised the end with the weight higher than that in his mouth. He took Mr. Chambers, Vicar of All Saints, who weighed twen ty seven (tome, and taifed him with one hand, his head being laid on one chair, and his feet on ano ther j four people fourteen (tune each, fate upon his body, which he heaved at pleasure—he (truck a round bar of iron one inch diameter, againll his naked arm, and at one stroke bent it like a bow. Weakness and feeling seemed fled tagether. Being a mailer of raufic, he entertained the company with Mad Tom. I heard him sing a solo to the Organ (then the only one in Derby) at Sf WetUuigh's Church; but though he might per form with judgment, yet the voice, more terrible than sweet, scarcely seemed human. Though of a pacific temper, and with the appearance of a gen tleman, yet he was liable to the insult of the rude. The hostler, at the Virgin's Inn, where he relided, having given him difgtlft, he took one of the kitch en spits from the mantle piece, and bent it round his. neek like a handkerchief; b«t a? he did not choose to tuck the end in the bottler's bosom, the cumbrous ornament excited the laugh of the com pany till he condescended to qntic hi* cravat. Had he not abounded with good nature, the men might have been in ffar for the fafety of their persons, and the women for that of their pewter (helves, as he could inftaritly roll'up both. One blow from him would for ever have fmleneed those hproes ps the silt, Johnson and Mendoja.

There is a magiflrMe in Gloiicefierfhire, who has n goose now in the 25th year of its age, of which hi* worship is very fond, as he fays they used to go to school together. X". tlte Edith*, if lit ica. li:ic'..e, As you have announced your determina. ion to pnbiiih, an impart open to the inveihgai i-m of tiuth fiom all fnies, I have chosen it°as vhe channel for conveying the following obfci vatious to the public ; and I request you to. giv« them a place ;is soon as possible. Some of thole who have opposed the treaty with Great Britain are continually telling us cf '• the will of the people," of the " general voice of th;. peopleagait.lt the treaty," and it Iras lately been alked, whether the firmnefs of the President, so much extolled of late, has been exerted in refill ing "the unequivocal voire of his fellow citizens from New-Hampshire to Georgia/' 1 Mr. Bache, am one of those who think that the voice of the people is the voice of God, w hen deliberately, and unequivocally pronounced, it mult and will be obeyed. But what is this unequiv ocal declaration of ihe public will tefpefting the treaty ? tiow has this ■* unequivocal voice of the people from New-Hampshire* to Georgia" been collected ? The truth is, tha,t a very small number of persons, scattered through the different Hates, have assembled, have aflumed the right of fpeiking in the.name of the people, aijd have attempted to direct that government which the >vhole people have eftabliiied. These prefumptujus individual*., not content to exercif* their right of fpenkingfor themselves, call themtelvca the people," and ar rogantly speak for the whole community, which has not appointed them, dees not know them, rr pwfes no confidence in them, and nfufes to la no tion their acts. And yet they go on to call them selves " the people," and aceule the govcrum nt of oppohng the " unequivocal will yl the psopV'> j be<.alife it has refuted to exercile a truf!, confided |to it by the whole community, according to the will of a few unauthorized iniUvidvals. I«et begin with New-Hampshire and examine the pow ers of these individuals who claim the right of de claring the general vvill and directing the govern ment. New-Hampshire contains 141,000 citizens of whom according to ufu&l calculation, 28,0c0 arc able to bear arms. The fiate confilts of five laigc counties, and [93 towns, two of which are Poitfmouth and Rye. Portfmouih contains inhabitant!, and Rye 865, in the ; of this number, according to tt e usual calculation, 1 100 are men capable of beating arms. In P,;;l mouth and Rye there were meetings on the fubjejft of the treaty : 500 I think, are said to have at tended a,t the former, and a out fifty at the latter place. 1 his was barely a majority of the freemen of tne two towns, and they contain less th»n a twenty filth part of the people of Nevv-Hampfhire, All the reft ot the Hate, with her five counties, her hundred and ninety three towns, and her twenty five thousand freemen, remain perfectly quiet, fays not one word, and yet these two towns are to speak sot the other hundred an-1 ninety one 1 These 550 individuals are not onlv to call themselves thti people of Poitfmouth and Rye, of which ihey conllitute barely a majority, but are to be conhd ercd as representing the will of New Hampflme ! And yet we are told of the unequivocal voire of 'hepeople! Did the 25,009 freemen of New 5 Hampshire depute the 550 citizens of Portfmou'h and Rye to speak for them ? Have they confirmed and coincided vith.the fa£s of ihefe 550 ? I Ihould like to know the nature and tendency of that re. publicanifm which sets up the vvill of a fr?,dl mi nority, of a raere fraction of the pe.ip'.e :o govern the whole community.! which enable? 55c tin-au thorized individuals, to pronouuee the voice, the V unequivocal voice" of 25,000 freemen ! 'Till it is better explained to me, 1 fhalltake the liberty of calling it rank ariltocracy, and of curtfidering those who contcnd lor it as a set of dangerous and de signing aiiftocrats, whose desire is to rule under the malk of patriotism. Let us go next to MafTachufetts, and fe: how the voice, the " unequivocal voice" of that great and powerful commonwealth has been expressed. Maflachufetts contains 475,000 people of whom, according to the usual computation, (£5,000 are able to bear arms. The (late contains 16 counties and 39 towns. Four pfthefe are Boston, Charlef t»n, Dracut, and Plymouth. Bonlton contains 18,000 inhabitants, Charleston 1500, Dracut 1200, and Plymouth 2990, in the whole 23,690; of which, according to the usual computation, 4,50:5 are capable of hearing arips. In these four towns, yhich contain less than a twentieth of the freemen in Maflachufetts, meetings on the fub je& of the treaty : 1500 are said. to attended at Boston, and 150 at Charleston. The numbers at Dracut and Plymouth, 1 have not heard, bm supposing them to be in the fame propoitian with Charleston, there would be about 2GO at Plymouth, and at Dracut. This makes up 1970 pcrfoi.g who have declared against the. treaty in Maflachu fetts. All the reft of the slate remains in lilence. Four townj speak by their own authority for 389 : '979 P er fo»s for a community containing 95,600 freemeo. T' le f c l97operfons compose little more than a third of the freepien in those towns where they afiemble ; and yet they are to speak. not only for thole towns, hut for 92,000 freemen in the of the state, for nearly fifty tipies their number of citizens, who have not appointed them, or expres sed the smallest approbation of their a6t! This is the <• unequivocal voice*' of Maflachufetts. Tn the fame manner froja one to two hundred perfone in Newport, have declared the unequivo cal voice" of Rhode Island. The " unequivocal voice'-' of Connrftiaut has been exprsfTed by absolute silence. That great state, containing fouls, and remarkable far being the bell informed, the snolt independent, and the mod republican in the union, has not said one word about the treaty. Some wife-acre, in a letter dated from Philadelphia, on the loth of October, to hi 9 friend in Charledon, attributes this acquief ccnpe of Coone&icut to the influence of, Colonel Wndfwoith and a very fevy others, {' who dirrdt the meafurcs, the likings and diflikingso.f theftale." But if this discerning hedtor, while he was " re mainirg fume time in the Itatp," and riding, as he said lie did, a good deal up and down it, had em ployed himfelf in observing the cbara&er of the people, l'.e would have found cut that Col.
