“ I wonder what :he f—1 would* and at what
does be aim a/.” H<s English grammar should
have informed him there was nu necessity
for a repetition of the word at—that one prepo
sition was sufficient. But I wijl not contend
with this man about words or sentences, as I
believe he has paid as little attention to the cor
rectness of the former* as the grammatical
construction of the latter* which certainly is a
great misfortune, as he appears to possess, in
an eminent degree* the cacorthea aenbondi,
which, for fear oi giving offence, I wiil inform
him means, an immoderate itch for displaying
his literary talents. 1 would ask Tim what
sense he intends to convey by l^e word distich?
I always understood a couplet made a distich.
It would unquestionably be for Jus benefit* and
no disadvantage to his readers, if previous to his
silting down to write, he would commit John
son’s Dictionary : But he is a genius of a pe
culiar mouldy and some allowances should be
made.
This gentleman frequents 'the country,
I suppose to clarify his wit, which, upon ordi-
dina- y occasions, is like what Falstaff says of
ihatofPoin’s—“it is as thick qs Tewskbuiy
mustard fo>* it seeuis that as $oon as he re
lumed and took up the paper (his usual custom)
and read the essay, lie determined to write—
another custom of his, I imagine. Bad habits,
if they have existed, any length of time, are
with difficulty- shaken off. I would advise
Timothy to use his greatest exertions to throw
off the lattei—no time should be lost. I will
not defend the Latin quotation by auijroriiies,
such as Addison, Johnson* and -various other
writers; as I am confident it would be of no
avail—Tim has too high an idea of iiis awn
opinion to be gaided by (hat of others. But he
thinks Candidus cannot translate the Latin pas
sage. Before he made an insinuation of this
sort, he ought-to have had it translated, and
if tho commentary did not agree with (he text,
then he would have been justifiable. He was
led into the belief of die ignorance of others by
hat oi his own and his friend Primm’s. Bui
->ii much for the quotation—now he stabs the
essay itself. He says, “ the love of country is so
congenial to every man oi virtue, that it re
quires >.o argument to enforce it.” V I believe
1 have conveyed the same' idea: 1 stated it to
be a natural passion of the head, and that it
nad done much good and much mischief in the
world. But why should I proceed ? Tim has
no penetration, or does not wish to have any.
He has displayed no small share of wit, how
ever, when he takes one word (fiater) to mean
iwo (jiater noster.J His blunders aie excusa
ble.
This man, it seems, possesses spirit; for he
is not contented vtrith one antagonist. He is de
termined to at tack Clio, merely, as it would ap
pear, l • ause he is one of the association. If |
his is ins determination* I beg he will indulge
can usurper.—American.

days successively. Tbe Austrians had lost
60*000 men, and the archduke was obliged to
.fly into Bohemia with 40,000 men, beuig badty
wounded in the last engagement. An armis
tice was agreed on between the two armies .
on the 8th July, for six Greeks. The Austrians
bad given up all the fortified places to the
French. The British expedition had arrived at
Cuxhaven, but had not landed. . . '
We are informed that the destructive battle
of tbe 2d to the 6th July was fought neat ly on
the same ground as the sanguinary conflict of the
21st and 22d May. That tbe archduke Charles
had constructed numerous batteries to cover all
the approaches to the position of his army; that
oh each successive day of the battle riotc-
and more of the batteries fell into the hands of
the French, until, at last; the archduke, having
his army reduced to 40.000 men, proposed an
armistice and retire* which was granted, upon
his giving up the various important posts oof
tbe Danube. Our informant adds, that the se
nate of Hamburgh were furnished with the de
tails of the bfoody contest on the 24th of July*
who caused mem to be published ih alternate
columns in French and German. That the;
bridges thrown over the Danube were construc

brought a good puce, us the state of the market

be permitted to visit our ports. ~ r
Immediately aber the embargo ih America
was taken off, we were told through an"Eugiish
channel that 150 vessels were really with their
cargoes to sail from different ports of the Unit
ed States, bound to the Baltic. We soon alter
saw several vessels pass*, beating the United
States colors* part of them under English con
voy, and part otherwise, the latter were brought
by our privateers into different ports of Den
mark and Norway. Six vessels bearing the
American flag, have been carried in, we have
seen no more of them for these four weeks
past. This quick termination of tbe arrivals of

of rocks have been placed (as nearly resembling
nature as circumstances would admit) amongst
which are distributed small leaden pipes, and
through them flows the Schuylkill water in an
irregular manner. On the top of the rocks, in
graceful atitude and attire stands a female figure*
on whose right shoulder a large water fowl is
seen endeavouring to escape from the hands of
the nymph. From the bird’s beak issues a
