YOU MIGHT' TO BE CASLIFUL
•' AND tvho does not know that," said a young
pragmatic.ti coxcomb, before he had Heard tne'rclt
of the fentcnce, «' True jny friend," I anfweted
if knowing was ali that was nccefiary to iirduce peo
ple to do as they ought, preaching would"be little
wanted, and the world would go round without lo
many jolts and tosses, and many of' the egregiotfs
errors as well as the smaller evils and cross accidents
of life would be avoided. " But who ought to be
careful? I don't underltand you fir, do you mean
me ?' Yes, you" I answered, "in company
with all the reft of the-worid; for observe theirt,
from the Philosopher down to the fool-—from a
Walhington to the molt cootemptable jacobiti in
slufive, and vou will not find one of any age» sex,
class, or denomination, but wb»i at fomc time sit
other may feci obliged by having a friend -at their
elbow to -whisper them to be cartful. And the
traveller is in duty bound to (land ceiftry iq turn,
during his watch, as he has too much-gnatitude £oon
to forget the gentle admonitions and ajeclianate cau
tions he has received from his goad friends, while
he has been passing tiirough the world.
Ah ! and travellers too at.ght tt be careful not
to take a cup too mceh whoh they ire-to travel iu
the night, lell they should get a fpre eye againll a
post or a fence, that should be so uncivil as fist to
move out of their way, a) they are advancing on
each fide the road with their gractful $I<wt, their
genteel /allies their wonderful evolutions, #od other
pleajing attitudes, so highly entertaining to by ftan
ers.
Some have gpjje so far as t« suppose that even
■lawyers ought be careful and not persuade people
c into uncertain law-suits, by beingpofii'tve they will
recover ; when they have doubts in their own minds
whether by beiqg pojuive they can-lead them fafe
out again. It was laid of them in old time, that
they took great fees—that was an evil under the
fun, which the present generation seems freed from
—but if that was a fault, what name (hall we give
to those who if they can'-; do better, taksLefs than
the fee tabic, and for the take of ptifchsfing bufi
nefi offer writs at half price ? If any such can be,
the law has gives them two names already, Petti
foggers and Barrators, aud annexed punishments as
difgraeefiil as such contemptible practices defcrve.
And why ought not Do&eis to be careful ? The
old ones, their pockets being full and their
feelings less accute -|he| grow temifs and inatt^n-1
tivc to the caVra or diltreu. And .the young medical j
Pettifoggers, who ru(h into the practice without a
previous education-or regular ftuciy, who know lit -
tle more of medicine than some of thenames, yet j
call themselves of the Faculty because tfeey have the
faculty of charging equal to the firftiate practitioners
—Surely .such men ought to be careful when the lives
of citizens are thu6 put in jeopardy by confiding
in theh- ikill. But the evil will never be fully re
medied till the people themselves grow lo (artfulas
not to trust. them.
These are not all—what remains must be reserv

Six of tbe ipurderert of Mr. Harman-have been
convi&ed at the assizes of Longford.
Saturday Patrick Hart was executed at thefronr
of .the New prifou, purfoant to his fentniQC, for
High' Treason.
Before he left his cell fheriff Starrier proposed
the following queltmns to'him, which he answered
in the presence of fevcral gentleman, with much
calmness :
Q Are you guilty of the crime for which you
are to"fuffer >A. lam —I was a Defender, and act
ed as such. „
Do you know any p'rfon of consequence
who is a Defender ? A. No ; I do hot know the
principals •, but 1 am acquainted with a great many
Defender!, and I wirti 10 God I could bring them
to a pioperfenfe of their crime.
Q. What was the ohjeft of the Defenders ? A.
They*took arms to overthrow the government but
'not to deftrov life or property, the greatest part of
what Lawler fworc wa* true, but not all : I never
told him that at Finnagan's house : the
blunderbuft found in my possession was given to me
by one of the persons concerned in the robbery.
Who if it AippW* money for the fees »f law
yers, and othtr expences attending on the trial of
Defenders ? A. I do not know.
He was then conduced from the cell. On his
way thrnugh'theprjfon, he repeated (in answer to
the fheriff) that' the intentidn of the Defenders in
taking arms, was so overthrow the government. —
When on the fcaffold, " Good pesple (said he, in a
loud and diftinft voice) pray for me : I was a De
fender, my sentence is just ; I thank the fheriff for
his indulgence to me—l forgive my profeeutors,
and I hope t-obe forgiven."
After hanging twenty minutes the bedy was then
taken up and the head fevered from it;' the execu
tioner then exhibited it to the view of the surround
ing populace, laying aloud, " behold the head t of a
traitor."
LONDON, April 1.
The British Eall India company are railing 3600
m«B for the navy,.at a bounty of 351. per man,
U Among the many accounts of gen.
ranee the report of his reJignation, the following.
[Appears to be the most ably penned chara&ei of
him that has been attempted :
" If we may trust to the report of this great
man, made bjr the English ind Germans, to whom
he wasoppofed,he was as exemplary in hit condu<3,
as a humane and generous enemy,as he was confum
matc in military genius, in gallantry and in fit ill.— :
He was the author of a new scheme of tactics, the
value of which he demonstrated by success. When
called to the command of a multitude of undisci
plined boys, he found.no one principle of an army
upon which to act, except enthufiaim in the cause
in which they were engaged ; he seized upon this
great pafiion and made it equal to all the reft ; dif
ciplinc, science, maturity, fell before it. With en
thusiasm only at his fupipott he attacked the vete
ran armies of Germany in raafs, and to the aston
ishment of a surrounding world, for thirty thice
successive dayt, he brought thw unorganised multi
tude to the charge, disciplined them in the midst of
actual fire, and moulded them into a tegular armv
upon heaps of slain. He exhibited a new science
in the history of arms. To be repulsed was not
have his squadrons broken
not to be put into disorder—and he was the firit
general who could so rafiy his men, that though
driven back to day, he returned to the field with
the fame alacrity to-morrow, and at the incefTant
drop pierces the fttme, converted hit fcrist of de
feats into the most brilliant conquest. Such was
the fpkndnf-opening of hit military chara&er to
wards the close of 1793, when he took the command
of the motly host of requisition men, to refill the im
petuous inroad of general Wurnjfer, who had cut
rou rt S h ne * Weifiemburg, aud penetrated
almofl to the capital of Alsace. The whole of hit
military career f.nce that time has been equal to the
promiie of his outset. He recovered all that the
treachery of general Damourier had loft, and ac
complished even more than his bombast had promis
ed, and while he drove the veteran armie* of Eu
rope from the plains.of Cambray to the Wefer be
tore him, his course of vidtery was (hired by no
a of violence—his reports to his country by no
vain exultation. J 3
