Lons; have the beneficial cf feds of the Spectator, and the Rambler been established ; long will they continue to be read with profit and delight. Much good has alio been produced by the labours of subordinate periodical cllhyids. From the avidity with which this fpccies f>f wi iting is read, it would appear that the public receive them with more favor and fat is fadt ion, than is extended to, or derived from more systematical publications •, or those which are intended to elucidate any particular lubjtd, and texpurfue it through all its nu merous divisions and principles* Man is fond of changing his pleasures, his amusements and inductions. The mind : wearied with a constant pursuit of the lame’ object. pauses with its fatigue, but refumes, with renewed vigour, its exertions/ when a new one is prefenced. lienee does novelty bring with it so many allurements—hence it fubje&s to its controul so many of the human race. Fc.v have the resolution to re Hi ft the fafein ations of novelty *, nor would Inch icfiliancc on all cccafions be confident with duty or propriety. In the form of improvement it is difcoveruble in all our plans. The accumu lated errors of ages, it dedroys : the fabric which had been thought too high for the ar row of the archer ; too hurd for the feythe of time, it rafes to the ground : dogmas and in ftirutions which were thought eftabli&ed be yond the reach of reiearch, and to have the lad touch of perfection which the hand of wlfdom itfelf could gives it overturns: man ners, fafhions, laws and even nations are changed by its powers. Its career may be too furious *, its fpeea too ere at. Old errors rruv be exploded but hv new, and even truth may be for a time borne down by its progress, But though it may sometimes give birth to evil, it is dill benefi cial, it is dill beloved and will ever retain its predominance over the human mind. While this principle Ihail continue to ope rate in the world, the periodical writer will r.ever want a fubjefb : while man retains his paffons. he will not want readers ; and while he is not inluderably dull, he will not be without admirers. All iu Fleets interfiling or pleafmg to the; fornmun ity, & not involving religious or do litical difputcs, are within the plan of chele * , i numbers. Subjects moral, entertaining, or literary, will be attended to, and while the pallion for novelty will perceive exertions sor ’ its gratification, the path so often trod by the predeceflors of the “ Inqued,” have it is be lieved, yet, lomc ungathered dowers on its borders. Thole who have witnessed the changing fcencs attendant on life from its lpring to its •utamn, on whom the winter yf has drea dy shed its snows, have much to remember, and to compare with what is patting around them. Just hastening to the close of the short year of existence j they feel not the full tide of the pafuons and look with greater calm ness on the events of the day than can be ex peded from the immediate adors. Yet the pafTiOn of novelty has not ccafed its operation in their breasts, nor do they ccafe to have an interest in its changes. It is therefore, hoped that although the Inquest has never travelled to Egypt in order to ineafure the base cf a pyramid, his claims to attention will not be found wholly unfounded. With a fixed regard for virtue and as deep an abhorrence ot vice, it will ever be the aim of the Inquest to cherilh the one and expose the other. Yet while endeavoring to correct error and confirm moral principles, its tinc tures will be general—its garments cut for many—and no one, who may find himlclr fitied, jfhali with any julticc lay that the mea fvue was uken from him alone. S. Correspondents will find altintisn to ibiir favors by lodging them with the printer. MeJJrs. Freneau & hViillams, \ The havock which the caterpillars are making; ia the cotton fields on the Edifto and adjacent idands, ought to induce the planters to make everv effort to counteract their ravages. It is re marked by a writer on the fubjedt, that the vapour of fulphur is mortal to these infects, ilb.of fulphur will clear as many trees as grow on several acres ; and which, (when the trees are load ed with caterpillars,) is effected by throwing fome pinches of fulphur on a lighted charcoal. This method has! been fuccefsfully tried in France. It is further said if the borders of the ground where you plant be sown with hemp, that, although the neighbour hood is infeffed with caterpillars, the space enclosed by the hemp will be perfectly free, and that not one of the vermin will approach it.

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. S< UGH of the Stats Papers of onr Ceneral ) Government as have been -pub Hiked, sirs to be found in files of news-papers only, and in other fleeting and detached publications.—Many of the utmojf importance to the jl ate smart, and tndis pen/able to tbs historian, have not appeared in print. Such, indeed, is the nature of diurnal publications, and fuchare the needy circumfiancts , very pc tier idly, if not univerfaliy, of their con du blurs that they art necejjlt at ed to give preference cf admjficn into their journal, of that fpuies of infermation by the publication of which, alette, they obtain necef ary support. Hence, regular and entire files of the large]} and left conducted political newspapers do not contain a regular con catenation of govern*}’'rial documents ; and it may be fafely added, that files cf all the papers in the Union do not. Tet, if they did, featured through a bulk of literary matter Jo vast, it would require the life if one man , to collect} and arrange them lucid order .
