■»' Wt TfiERE appears in ninny per ' £0 unfortunate propensity for emigra- L».,0. a kind of reliefs desire to leave com .ruble and convenient settlements in He arch of new situations, as though they R«pc£ed by change of place to be liip- W'jor'&i by the spontaneous productions of r ,0g earth.—-This difpofnion has been the f* finifce of many evils to its poflHTors—kept ■them wandering vagrants for many years I—ft ripped them of their little properties, 'and rewarded them only with poverty and slifappointmcnt. One would naturally imagine that the Ikitizcns of this state had little occasion for It he cxercife of these emigrating principles - .little ncceffitv to search for better lands, and very little foundation to hope that in such $ a search they would be fuccefsful. hut ; even here instances liave not been wanting i of men, wlio have left very pleasant and comfortable situations, and removed with I rueir families and personal property to the weltern waters, or to Kentucky— and who hive then fold that property, to defray the * txpence of removing their farm lies* back to their former homes; and then to find out, and not till then, that instead of a better country or belter lands, the only thing they needed was a little more indus try. Men may keep moving ail their life time, (if by the way they can defray the expcnce of their various expeditions,) and (till they cannot find the country that wili afford them support, without their own exertions ; and thole who will make even moderate exertions, will not often have taulc to complain lor want of ample re muneration. The lands within the fettled part of this state are mostly fertile, pieafantly situated, and require nothing but moderate industry to make them answer all the purposes of human life, ami to render the proprietors of them wealthy—But unfortunately ma ny of our citizens desire to avoid industry •altogether, and to wifti by extending their pollc-ftions, to prtclude the neceflkv of cul tivating them —on this principle we often find men poffefled of much more land than they can polfibly cultivate, extreme ly anxious to add to their pofTeftions, or complaining that they have too little , while a great part of what they possess remains totally negledtd. Man, difeotttented man, seems rcfolved within himfelf that he will not find rest for the foie of his foot, nor contentment in a world of bJellings. It is an undeniable truth that no country under heaven, holds out more advantages to new frttlers or old , planters, than the State of Georgia—the lands here are rich and abundantly produc “rffy little labour will furnifli all (he [ neceftariei, and moderate Industry willpro- ( curemoftof the luxuriesof life. Men here ( of every defeription can live with less labor, * { than is required for a subsistence in almqli, [ anv ether country; upon lb little in faCt, t that they very soon contrast a habit of t uiienefs, and endeavour to live without nv. A fcttler here from the northern or” j eastern states, who in his own country , was contented to work, from fun rile to . fun-let, every day, from year to year, and ( was happy if at the end of each year, he , was as well off as at the beginning; on be coming a citizen of Georgia, finds by Jhort experience, that two or three labour in a week, will be fufficient for lupport of himfelf and the JulJf/lence of his family, and not having calculated when in hts own country, on much more than a support, he neglects to improve the advanta ge-, of his new fitnation, and that time w hich is not necejfarily employed for the lupport of his family is spent in play— whereby Inch a habit of idleness is com traced, that even the little labour that tjpis country requires becomes a hard talk, and he endeavours by fcheeming and fpe- > dilating to avoid work altogether. This i» one way in which speculators here are formed—they are the creatures of the for tunate situation of our country; and as every man experiences the ease of procur ing a fubft lienee here, and as no one is for that purpote compelled to work more than one third, or one half his time, every man has fulficient leisure on hand, to contract i f dispose l to do so) habits injurious to himfelf, and highly detrimental to his country. —Speculation soon becomes the order of the day—its influence is felt by all dalles, and the merchant, the mechanic 1! the daily labourer are each exerting * vei» efforts to speculate themselves into situations where labour will not be necef lary ; and the different views and different pnrfuits of the different claifes, often lay a foundation for party or company allbc - ations, which at firft founded on pecunia ry co-fiJer.it ions, often become political foci ties to the injury and dtfturbance of the government. Speculation ufuallv obtains where men live widioiit industry, and where fpecula ’iou iml idleness obtains party spirit soon ' v •l f >> a great misfortune that so rhanv < our cmiens are adduced to habits of st, iel sappy would it be for them and l.r oar country were they mwe induftri • ous—l l uludry is the author of wealth the parent cf happiness—ls promotes health and gives a double relifti to every enjoyment. Let us then lay aside specu lating fchernes, and all restless desire for change of situation, and learn to be imluf trious —and let us teach our children to be so too—early make them industrious and habit will make that industry agreeable, then (hall vve difeharge our duty as men and highly serve our country f And I will venture to fay to every planter, be his pos sessions large or final!, that if he will for five years lucceflively be industrious and frugal, on hisprefent possessions, he will at the end of that time be more wealthy and far happier, than he would be by going in quest of new lands, and removing from place to place in search of spots of imag inary fertility ; without having it in Ins power to realize the effeCtsof his exertions, or to possess what may be called a perman ’ ant home for himfelf and family.

Randolph & Bunce, BY inserting the following ex tract you will I trust, recommend the pe rusal of a work evincing the harmonies of nature, and consequently the perpetual pre sence of a Deity to support thole harmo nies ; adue recolieCtion of this omnipre sence, mull check every vicious thought, and teach us to fly from fin as from the face of a lerpent, or the devouring pesti lence: for if we dare not offend in the presence of an earthly parent or elder, how dare we before the most high God, whose pervading eye fees the inmost re cedes of our hearts ?

Jenner and Pearson’s publications on the cow-pox, whichtended to edlablifli the important faft, that those ivho have had that disease, which never proves fatal, and which may alwys be so managed as never to disfigure the patient, are not capable of afterwards takingthe small-pox infection— a faft which, if properly followed up, pro mises fair to extirpate the latter disease, to which more have fallen victims than to the peltilence Drs. Pearson, Jenner, and Woodville, with a zeal that does them great honor, have since bellowed much attention in ascertaining by pro per trials, it is prudent to perse vere in substituting a disease that has hi therto appeared no way dangerous, for one that so often proves mortal; and, we are happy to add, with a success equal to the.moft sanguine expectations that could have been formed : in consequence of which, the following circular letter has been addrefled to the gentlemen of the fa culty. * Leicester Square, March 12, 1799. o i R, I hope you will pardon me for takittg the liberty to inform you, byway cvtJanrp tA ihp T have publilhed on the fubjeft of the cow pox, that upwards of one hundred and sixty patieflts, from two weeks to forty* years of age, principally infants, have been inoculated, since the twentieth ot January last, by Dr. Woodville and myfelf separ ately. at prelffft, only communi cate the following observations: 1. Not one mortal case occurred. one of the patients was confideredito . — Although the ex treme cases of thefevere kind, which ordi narily occur in the fame number of cases in the inoculated ftnaljjpojc, did not occur in the above pra&ice ; and although many of the patients were' even more (lightly disordered qonftitutionally,. k yet the whole .tftjignnt of feemed to be as in the fame number patients in the inoculated fmall-po*. 4 None of the patients (namely, hitheVto inoculated for the small-pox; fub fequantly* to the vaccine disease, the infection. 5. —One of the tan; faffs' is, that the local affe&iornPßP * inoculated part, on the whole, was less. and of shorter duration than in the inoculated small-pox. 6.—ln many of the cases eruptions on the body appear ed, some of which could not be diftin > guifhed from the small-pox. I have Tent the matter of the cow-pox pustule on the thread enclosed, in order, if you approve of the enquiry, to enoculate with it; and I entreat you to favour me with the result of your trials: but I mull trouble you to apply the rest of inocula ting with variolous matter subsequently to the vaccine dil’order. I have the honor to be, Sec. See. G. PEERSON. P. S. I am happy to be able to state, that at Berkley, Dr. Jenner has continu ed his trials of inoculation with vaccine matter, sent from London, with good luccefs. I ihould have given you a more circumftanciai account of the cases here alluded to, but I think it unneceflary, as Dr. Woodville has a pamphlet in the preis on the fubjeCL PUlofo. Mag. Recent and numerous experiments, made by the moll eminent of tiie faculty in London, tend to confirm the efficacy of the cow-pox, as a means of extirpating that horrible scourge of the human race*) nall-pox. Several hundred indivi daais have recently been inoculated for * - \ .- r —■- 9 ihis new in the metropolis, and they have all taken ir, and recovered from it in a few days, without its being attended by any ilinefs, other than a few puthdes which have appeared in the arm. These persons have since been repeatedly inocu late dwith the variolous matter of the small pox, but without effedl. Several of them have even slept in the fame bed with per sons in the mod infe&ious date of the latter disorder, but without being in any degree affedted bv it. Monthly Flag, PHILADELPHIA, Augud 3.

GEN. MASSENA’s SOLILOQIJY. Retreat! Defeated! Driven before the Slaves of Atidria and Russia! and what is worse, beaten and boxed about by the peasants to whom we have given liberty!* Intolerable ! I could tear the tri-coloured cockade from my hat, to fee all the bene volent schemes of the French republic blafted*te a set of dupid fellows who do not value of freedom. The Great Nation, the Generous Re public, projected the plan of setting the world free—they determined to pull ty rants from their thrones, and drive prielfo from their churches —they sent forth ar mies of Republicans to drive tyrants and their Haves from the earth.. We have exe cuted a great part of the plan—We have overturned half of the tyrannies of Eu rope—and just as we were about setting down quietly to enjoy the fruits of our la bour, our enemies multiply; the barbarous Coflack is joined to the stupid German, and we are driven from the ricli spoils of > the conquered nations. And all for what! becau'fe these lubber ly fellows dont un'cferdand th?privilege of being governed by French republicans. They dont know when they are free happy. We have driven away all the a ristocrats and*tyrants who have deceived and plundered them—and for this favor, we only demand the right of making them pay us tribute, and being governed by our agents and o'ttr, garrisons! We only wish "Ttrcm to Wrrrß for us, maintain masters of our appointment, go and comb . at our pleasure, destroy their temples, theic relics of Saints, give up their opinions, and believe as we believe—in fliort, all we want is to have them behave like good, industrious, peaceable republican Jlttves of France-* and. then they would be free and happy —and we fliould be pleated—And yet, after all our blood mid toil, we find the people dont know what it is to b t free. They are difeontented—want to go back to their old masters—and are taking, arms to drive us, their from their Jaoufes and their fields—Stupid fcoundrels!' vVhaf, prefer tyrants of their own growth —natives of their own foil; to the Repub lican, rulers, armie&fet over thereby,., Frsrr?e!

I' tlynk the generous re public may as well give over this crusade against religion, r.nd let the bigots enjoy their God add their Saviour—Riaht or wrong, we cant break up their worfliip, without breaking their heads, and what is more, a chance to have our own heads broke!

Tne neutrality of the Pruifian monarch at the present time, is as Angular an in stance of political inactivity as we perhaps have upon record. Situated between two of the most powerful nations of Europe, who are at present engaged in war with rr?nce, he maintains the ftriCteft neutrali ty, when, in sass it would seem that his in 1 .rest demanded an immediate interfe rence. Th’at the neutrality of Prussia will eventually prove injurious, (we might al most jay ruinous) to that kingdom, is de monttrable from the following positions r ii- Its local situation puts it in the power of the Auftrains and Ruffians, coa le.v.ej to attack the Prussian dominions i:i several pomts at once; and the barriers * and bounds which might be opposed to an ■ enemy being weak, their foie confidence must be repoied in their armies, which
