Washington City, Nov. *O.
Wo hear from Annapolis, that the
Franklin, tlie new 74, would depart from
thence either yesterday afternoon dr on
tins day, taking out Mr. Rush and his
suite, on his embassy to England. This
ship, like our ship Washington, (which
sue is destined to join in the Mediterra
nean) has attracted numberless visitants
to view her exterior as well as interior
arrangements, regulations, and superior
accommodations lor her passengers, olli
cers and crew. She will likely be view
ed with much attention even in Plymouth
or Portsmouth; and it is not a little cre
ditable to our officers and naval tactics,
that Mons. Perrong, a lieutenant de
Vaisseau, (which gives him imk as a
captain of a frigate in the French serv
ice) is regulated as a gun-room passen
ger in the Franklin, merely to become
better informed as (o the improved ma
chinery, order, dispositions and celerity,
practised in the Americ an shins of war. ■
Lieut. Perrong was readily admitted to
this ship through the solicitation of the
Marquis De La Fayette to the-President.

A female correspondent, in the Pendle

very satirical remarks in justification
of the use of Corsets, concludes with
the following humorous invocation to
Fashion:— . .
_ < “ FASHION!—Thou Mighty Power!
To whom kingdoms and empires bow in
humble obedience; at whose shrine de
cripid age, herculean manhood, and
youth and beauty incessantly worship!
It is thou, who commanded) tfile Beau to
wcarflhe widest part of his pantaloons at
his heels; who directed! the tayior tu
place two buttons close together on tht
middle of his back, and trim the tail of
his coat H the sliape of a pair of scis
sors! It iMhou, who adjusteth the Span
iel curls, lire Puss’s whiskers, and ap
proveth the Mon key-like manners of a
modern gentleman!—lt was thy mighty
power, that once called forth the trenren
dous/toop, long trail, the fearful cushion,
the cork and the pad; and it is thy pro
vince in modem times, to place the di
vorce,* regulate corsets , and expose
those parts'that nature bids us hide, from
the passionate view of Itfcivious men! If,
however, the influence of fashion will
not secure us from the slanders of mali
cious men, we would appeal to the exam
ple of our mothers, for they wear Cor
sets ! !
* The divorce, is a bone to separate
the breasts.

Said Corsets will keep the waist of a la
