Who irnntft tn be a Lord? —We
have received through our agent in
London, a letter from Frankfort (on
the Maine) containing the plan of a
Lottery to dispose of the extensive
Lordship of Lrnsdorf, in Austrian
Silisia, juridicially estimated at the
value of 1,632,6) 9 florins, Vienna
standard currency, together with the
estate of Ellgott, juridicially estima
ted at the value of -102,603 flourins,

Impe.iul Majesty, which with the
sanction of his Majesty the Emperor
of Austria, will take place at Vienna,
in two drawings, via: on the 30th of
November, and on the 30th of De
cember 182 2; and will bo delivered
up to the aria not' free from dv'bts, to

Be ;ides these two capital pi izesTDiere

These estates are said to be un
questionably the finest that have ever
been disposed of by Lottery, and the
arrangement of the Lottery has met
with undivided public approbation.
Perhaps some American gentlemen
will be induced to try their hands at
this novel appeal to Fortune, and by
means of a trifling venture, procure a
chance of being admitted among the
m anbers of the States of Austria. If
so. on being furnished with the means,
in British gold, or bills on London,
we will transmit orders for tickets
without charge—not incurring any
risk ourselves. The drawing Is to
be under the direct care of the Aus
trian government, mid we are assured
there can he no doubt ns to the pro
bity and good order to be observed.

The following Epitaph to the me

cred to the memory of Thomas Jack
son, comedian, who was engaged
Dec. 21, 1741, to play a comic cast
of characters io this great theatre, the
world, for many of which he was
prompted by nature to excel. The
season being ended—his benefit over
—the charges all paid—and his ac
count closed, he made his exit in the
tragedy of death on the 17th March,
1798, in the full assurance of being
called once more to rehearsal, when
he hopes to find his forfeits all clear
ed—his cast of parts bettered—and
his situation made agreeable by Him
who paid the great stock-debt for the
love he bore to performers in gene

The Kings Visit to Scotland.
His Majesty arrived at Leith Roads
on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, j
The Caltonhill was, at early hour,
crowded with anxious spectators: but |
the morning being hazy, it was nine \
o’clock before the squadron was!
■ descried. The greatest bustle then j
. took place hi the northern metropolis; i
• and all the public bodies began to I
r make arrangements to meet their |
; sovereign. At eleven, the haze clear
! ed away, and the royal yacht war;
. observed coming up the Forth, towed !
] by die James Watt and Comet steam-1
ships. The ships of the royal |
squadron, among which was a frigate j
and a sloop of war, kept firing salutes,
which were answered by the flag j
i ships. About hall-past one, the royal I
yacht passed Leith, in fine style; and j
at two, anchored in the roads, when a !
salute was fired from the battery.—
1 he adjacent hills and shores crowd
ed with people, who repeatedly
cheered and welcomed the royal visi
tor. Crowds of individuals, some on
horseback, others in splendid equip
age’, and others on foot, rushed to
the place of disembarkation to join
theprocession; but a heavy rain came
on, and as there was no appearance
that the weather would soon clear up,
his Majesty determined to remain on
board till next forenoon. Until a late
hour steam-bouts were constantly
plying round the royal yacht, with
• well dressed passengers, Mho cheered
as they passed. His Majesty, at
different times, appeared upon deck,
and graciously bowed in return for
those gratulations, (>n this day also,
Sir W. Scott went on board the royal
yacht, and conveyed to his Majesty
the silver cross, as a tribute from die
ladies of Edinburgh. His Majesty
"as highly gratified by this mark of
affection, apd expressed his intention
of wearing it in public. In the eve
ning a bonfire was kindled on Ar
thur’s seat.
Thursday bring appointed for the
landing, early in the morning the
whole population began to pour out
of their houses, ami arrange them
selves along the line of his Ma jesty’s
route. All wore sprigs of heather in
their hats, or crosses or favors on
their breasts. At twelve precisely,
the King loft his yacht in his barge,
and the forts proclaimed the circum
stance by the thunder of their sa
lutes. The shouts of tin; people be
came louder as his Majesty approach
ed the harbor. The t)uke of Dorset,
the Earl of Fife, the Marquis of Lothi
an, Sir 1 homas Bradford, mul many
other noblemen, together with the
presidents of the supreme courts,
received bis Majesty at the landing
platform.—The moment his Majesty
set his toot on Scottish soil Sir Tho
mas knelt, and made a low obseis*
unee, and the other noblemen made
suitable reverences. v His Majesty
then uncovered, am! was met by Mr. i
Feel, The senior magistrate of ]
Leith congratulated his Majesty on -
his arrival, and was received most ;
graciously.—His Majesty was dies- ,
sod in a rich naval uniform, with a
sprig of the thistle and the heather iu
his liat. The path to the carriage
was strewed a itli flowers, in the car
ri igo he was accompanied by the
Duke of Dorset and .'nr C. Bagel.
The King appeared to be greatly af
fected with the cheeis of die myriads
of spectators around the quay. The
cavalcade then moved forward, and
fell in with the procession. [The
papers here supply lung details of!
the splendid gutbs of the different
officers ol state, the bands of milita
ry. Highland clans and corps, &c.J
Ihe King was guarded by the royal <
company of archers. “ The royal •
cavalcade (says the Scotsman) pro- ■
cecded at a loot pace along the whole <
route, so that cveiy person sufficient
ly near hud time to take a deliberate i
view. It was slowly and well ar- i
ranged, and derived a picturesque ]
character from the variety and splcn- I
dor of the ancient and modern cos- 1
tunics, arms and habiliments display- (
c.l. The poorest part, in point of i
cifeot, was that of the coaches, many 1
ot which had no pretensions to ele- t
gance ; and the gentlemen with blue t
coats and white wands, whose dress |}
and appearance was too civic am! so- i
j ber to consort well with tlie rest of 1
the pageant. The parties of High- t
landers, in their ancient garb and ar- (
mour, had a pleasing effect; but too .
much has been done to give a High- 1
land complexion to the whole of the '
exhibitions connected with the Roy- 1
al visit, as if nothing were Scottish '
but v. hat is Highland, ills Maies- t
ty, who seemed to enjoy the scene, 1
repeatedly took off his hat and bow- i
ed to the spectators. His complex- r
ion was rather more sallow than we r
expected, and his physiognomy, t
though but slightly touched with the r
characters of age, seemed to us less t
youthful than it is generally repre- 1
scnted in engravings.” (
When the procession had gone a .
short way up Leith Walk, the Usher |
of the White Hod, supported by 1
[ Marchmont and Islay Heralds, pre- i
j ceded by trumpeters, rode on to the i
I barrier, and after three flourishes of ;
! trumpets, Marchmont here summon- <
jrd the city, by giving three knocks at I
j the barrier, when the Chamberlain ■
I desired to know his commands.—
I The herald replied, that his mostgra
| cions Majesty King George IV. had
j landed on a visit to Scotland, was
j approaching, and he was warranted j
I to demand an entrance for the King!
I into the ancient city of Edinburg.—!
1 Thu Chamberlain having conveyed j
i the summons to the Lord Provost,!
! the g:Ue was by this authority open-j
j ed, when they advanced to the Lord j
j Provost, and Marchmont Herald pro-
I s mod himself before the Lord Pro- [
j vost, and said, “ My Lord, I have:
| the honor of announcing to your'
| Lordship, (lie very near approach of
jof our most gracious sovereign the j
King, to visit his most loyal and an
| cient capital of Scotland; and I am
1 commanded to request admittance to
i the city for himself and.retinue. The!
j Lord Provost expressed his readiness 1
to comply with the demand, and -
immediately ordered the gates to be,
I thrown open to admit the King.—
The procession soon after came up g
and entered the city. When the';
carriage of tie King entered within i
the barrier, the whole procession,
halted, and the Magistrates being in 1 ;
waiting on the south side of the street, I
approached (lie royal carriage, the i
door of which was thrown open, and' i
the King stood up to receive them.— j I
Having advanced with three rever-h
ences, the Lord Provost made a short ■ i
speech of congratulation, and kneel-1i
ing, presented the ancient sih keys' <
of the city. His Majesty was gra- i
ciously pleased to make a suitable I
reply, and re-delivered die k«ys to I
the Lord Provost, who with the Ma-j 1
gist rates, retired to their carriages, (
and took their places in the proces-'i
sion, which (hen moved forward to 1 1
Holyrorulhouse. The King was re-j I
ccivcdaf Holyroodhouse by the Duke! i
of Hamilton, keeper of the Palace,';
who had the honor to kiss hands.—; 1
Many of the nobility had the honor [i
of being particularly noticed. Im-ji
mediately on his Majesty being seat-, i
c l on his throne, the Knight Maris-; I
chall and his two Esquires, bearing It
the regalia (who were ready at the I
lower end of the room) advanced to-' i
wards the tin one, making three re-is
verences; first, at the place where!]
they Were stationed; secondly, at the! ■
middle of the room; and, thirdly, at i
the foot of the throne. The Knight i
Marischall then (on his knee)!’
presented the crown ; and the j i
Deputy Lord Lion of Scotland, l
in obedience to his Majesty’s com- i
mand, summoned, the Duke of (
Hamilton to receive it (on his knee); i
from the Knight Marischall, and he: j
immediately took his station on (lie 1 1
right hand of the King. The Knight |
Marischall then received from his I
Esquire the sceptre and presented in <
like manner as the crown. The'i
Deputy Lord Lion then summoned I
Lord Francis Levison Gower, as the \
representative of the Earl of Suffice-! t
land who on his knee received the
sceptre from the Knight Marischall,
and took his station on the left hand
of the King. The sword of state, t
was in like manner, presented and (
delivered to the Earl of Errol, who ,
took his station on the right hand of "
the Kang. The Knight Mariscallj!
then had the honor to kiss the king's
hand, and retired with his two Es- j
quires, making three reverences, to (
the lower end of the room. ,
Immediately afterwards, the Duke (
of -A km;nose announced that the Lord
Provost and magistrates of Edin- *
burgh vvege in attendance, to present j
an address. The Duke, by his Ma- j
jesty’s command, introduced the ,
Lord Provost and magistrates and *
council, who advanced with three re- f
verences, to the foot of the thrope, s
when the address was read by Mr.
Crichton, the senior City-clerk. *
The King made a suitable reply ,in j
which he expressed the very high s
confidence he always placed in the
people of Scotland, and the pleasure
ho had in coining among them; that
ho would always continue to Irold the
city of Edinburgh in the highest fa
vour. 'I he Lord Provost had the s
honour to kiss hands,and the Bailies, a
the Dean of Guild, and Treasurer
were severally introduced, and kissed
hands. They then retired with their >
reverences. The King then left the j
throne, and several of the Judges of
the Court of Session, Justiciary, and
Commissary Court, and the Judge ?
Admiral, who were in attendance,
had the honour of being introduced.
I he King proceeded by the regalia,
borne by the respective Peers, to d
whom they had been committed, then b
then proceeded to the royal closet. -
The bearers of regalia, having placed
them on the table, retired with three
reverences, ihe King then com
manded the attendance of the Cap
tain General and Council of the Roy
al Company of Arches, to perform
the service of delivering a pair ol
barbed arrows, which is the reddendo
contained in the charter by Queen
Anne, in favour of the Royal Com
pany, —Some time after, his Majesty
left Holy rood-house in a close car
riage, and proceeded by the private
road to Dalkeith, where he arrived
at half past three. The inhabitants
of the town, collected in great num
bers, and hailed his arrival with
cheers. In the evening Dalkeith
was illuminated. His Majesty had
a select party to (line with him, con
sisting of the great officers of the
state, and some other distinguished
| personages.— Mercury,
! The Breeches arid the Mail Bay.
A curious occurrence took place
! some time since in Hertfordshire, a
| bout twenty-five miles from London.
| The keeper of one of the past-offices
! oil the great northern road, who was
| in the habit of sleeping in a room so
■ much elevated above the road as to
! enable him to hand out of the window
the post-bag to the guard of the mail, 1
had (one to bed at an early hour ac-1
cording to custom. —At half past!
three o’clock in the morning he was j
half awakened out of a heavy sleep
by tho well known sound of the horn.
He turned out of his bed mechani-i
caliy, and handed out what he sup
posed to be ills letter bag to the guard
of the mail, who threw what he re
ceived without looking very closely
at it, into the receptable. The
coach proceeded to town without
delay, and the post-office keeper re
sumed his sleep, in which lie indulged
his wife, who rose at 5 o’clock, found
it necessary to disturb him in conse
quence of missing his breeches, which
he was in the habit of keeping on a
chair next to the bed, and in which
the greater part of the receipts of the
day were contained. His wig and
other things were also missing. The
first thing that suggested itself to
both was that some thieves must
have got in at the window, which
they used, for the reason above stat
ed, to leave unfastened during the
night. The good woman however,
upon looking under the bolster, found
to the astonishment of both, the let
ter hag which should have been within
a few miles of London at the time
The absence of the breeches was then
fully accounted for. 'I lie owner 1
fancied that the only safe place in the!
house was between the bolster and
bed. On this occasion he had mis
taken the letter bag, which, as well as
his breeches, was made of leather,
for his property, and placed it in the
same spot. The guard, who, it ap
pears, was satisfied with feeling, that
what he had got was leather, took no
notice of the extraordinary shape of
the new letter bag, and was over
whelmed with surprise at finding,
upon his arrival in London, that the
first thing he laid his hand upon in
rummaging for the most valuable
contents of the coach was a pair of
old loth°r breeches containing an old
pair of drwers, a pair of black wors
ted stockings, a collar, a wig, and a
pair of double sole shoee. lie had,
however, scaicely examined this pre
cious deposit, when a mssenger ar
rived in breathless haste, from the
Post < tffice keeper, with the bag,
which the guard very willingly re
eived in exchange for the breeches.
Curious Typographical Error.
The celebrated printer, Henri Et
tiene, son of Robert, (both known in
the learned world by the name of
Stephanus,) once engaged in the
printing of a splendid quarto Missal.
The great number of subscibers seem
ed likely to make ample compensation
for the heavy expense required by
the undertaking. After the sheets
had been corrected with the utmost
care, the work was printed off, splen
didly bound, and delivered to the
subscribers. It would be impossible
to describe the astonishment of the
learned printer, when one copy after
another, was returned to him, till all
were sent back.—Fie inquired the
reason of this extraordinary circum
stance, and was informed, that in one
place the compositor had put let le
pretre oterasa calotte: (Here the
Priest will take of his breeches,) in
stead of Calotte , (small black cap.)
and the error escaped the correctors
ot the press. In vain did the poor
printer offer to make a cancel; the
subscribers who were almost all eccle
siastics, positively refused to take the
work on any terms. This unfortun
ate affair is said to have been the
first and the chief cause of the de
rangement which afterwards caused
Henri Ettiene to be confined in the
Lunatic Hospital at Lyons, where
lie died in Ui9B. Th( ire is a copy
at tho Missal with this unlucky error,
in the Royal Library at Paris.

Jacob Stoll v. Benjamin Ryan his wife 1
Jililly. 1
[N. B. To in the slang oi'the ‘Fan- (

The brief in this case states, that ,
this action was brought, in the Court j (
below, by a young man, hale, hearty,; t
and in the prime of life, for an alleg-j.
od assault by Milly Ryan, an old wo-; j
man past fifty years of age. The l ,

and seventy-five dollars. Motion ,
for a new trial on the ground of ex |
cessive damages. ,
I Nott, Justice. It does not ap- ,
pear that any great injury was donej
to the plaintiff j but the actual injury (
sustained is not always the rule by |
j winch the verdict of a jury is to be ,

| times properly -given, by tv ay of ex- ■
i ample, if the plaintiff in this case (
] had returned the blows which he re- j
reived, every month would have ]
been open against him. He had no j
alternative, but to submit to the out
rage, or to proceed as he has done ,
lor redress. It is the only method ,
by which the unruly passions of a j
vixen, who will not bo restrained by (
fear of shame, or a sense of proprie- (
ty, can be condoled. lam disposed \

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
No. 2. ,
Among the several persons who 1
are aspiring to the Presidential chair, I
there is none whoso partisans are t
making greater exertions, to secure t
for him the interest and support of r
the southern country', than those of
Mr. Crawford. This gentleman has
long had his eye upon the presiden
cy, and although it has been asserted
by his friends, that an effort on his
part would have placed him in the '
executive chair instead of Mr. Mon- .
roe, and that he showed great forbear- 1*
ance on that occasion, yet 1 believe *
it would be very difficult to make
any man who knows much of the
character of Mr. Crawford believe a
that assertion. Y
A man whose whole life has been "
one continued struggle for superiority, a
would not so easily forget his ruling! a
passion as to quietly step aside and J. 1
let another man mount above him if .
he could prevent it. lr
This assertion, made with so much :
confidence, but without any proof, 11
however, may be very convenient to ~
be used by his friends, as some pal* j a
liation for his conduct towards our 11
present illustrious chief magistrate,
who bestowed on him so distinguish- ,
ed a place in his cabinet. a
It would indeed appear to be a sin al
of not quite so deep a dye in Mr.
Crawford to unite himself with the
enemies of Mr. Monroe’s adminis
tration, and endeavor, through the
medium of his agents, to destroy all m
confidence in the executive while he Ji
himself held a place in his cabinet as w
one of his Confidential advisers, if he rc
:ould indisputably make it appear
.hat it was only by his forbearance
that Mr. Monroe became President
it ah. In the absence however of
the proof of this fact we must be al
lowed to view Mr. Crawford’s con
duct in rather a more reprehensible
light.
The charge of caballing with the
enemies of the administration, s o s
which he himself is a member) to
impede the operation of the govern
ment, has been long since made u
gainst Mr. Crawford and has not
been denied either by himself or hi s
friends. Indeed, how is it possible
that they should deny it. when botk
he and his friends are daily gi v i, lg
currency to it themselves: his
friends, by their fixed opposition to
every act of the executive govern
ment that emanates Irom any other
department of the government but
the treasury, and himself, by counten
ancing that opposition and by bold
ing private interviews and friendly
correspondence with men whose
worst passions are excited against the
executive, in consequence of having
been dismissed from subordinate
offices in the government for notori
ously corrupt practices.
Magnanimity did not require of
Mr. Crawford to sacrifice his inde
pendence and survilely comply with
the opinion of Mr. Monroe, and
those of his confidential advisers to
whom he gave his ear; but it did re
quire that before he openly dissented
from the policy of the administration
he should have ceased to be a mem
ber of it.
Mr. Jefferson had fairly marked
out the course which Mr. Crawford
should have pursued when he found
it no longer possible for him to act
cordially with Mr. Monroe and his
cabinet, and it may be safely averred
that no act of Mr. Jefferson’s life
gained him so deservedly the confi
dence of his fellow-citizens as his re
tiring from an administration, at the
head of which was the father of his
country, because he could not consci
entiously unite with that administra
tion in opinion.
This course, so full of dignity and
so well fitted to the character of the
man who is aspiring to be the first
citizen in this great republic, has not
been pursued by Mr. Crawford.
He probably knew how much of
his influence was owing to the distin
guished situation in which he had
been placed by the executive and was
determined to use that influence to
the best advantage to supplant his
benefactor and his friend, in the
hearts of their countrymen.
1 am aware that I am but reiterat
ing a charge that has been heretofore
made against this gentleman 5 bat it
is one fliat cannot be too often and
too strongly urged upon the conside
ration of his fellow citizens, until all
the clear, circumstantial proot, on
which it rests for its support, is pro
perly explained and the charge itself
refuted by other and stronger testimo
ny- -
If this charge be true (and it has
not yet been denied though often
made, ) let me appeal to those who
have enlisted themselves under the
banners of Mr. Crawford to say what
they can see of honor or propriety
of conduct in tin* course which he is
now pursuing. If he abuse so much
the confidence placed in him by the
executive, who has bestowed on h.m
the means of acquiring a name and an
influence, which in a private situation
he never could have acquired, huff
can they expect that his conduct tow
ards them will not be marked with
the same selfishness and ingratitude . J
Whatever professions he may
make, however obsequious may J*-’
his conduct, or however liberal may
bo his promises, I would ask whe
ther the suspicion can be allayed in
their bosoms that he is a man who is
rather to be dreaded than trusted?
