(Ca'i tinned from No. 6\.) * A TOWN bounded by the fca, de lightfully situated in a remote eaiteni county, gave birth to Mr„ Belmont, whose father was a refpeilable merchant, and bred his Ton to the fame prot'effion. On the death of his father,, which happened in Belmonts twenty-fifth year, hepurfued the exemplary conduit of his regretted parent, with a perseverance and zeal which would have graced any flation. To complete the felicity that on all sides presented itfelf, from the unfrerfal eftcem which his known pro bity never failed to fccure, he paid his add relies to the daughter of an eminent farmer of the fame place and soon obtain ed her hand, with the entire pollclfion of her heart, though unaccompanied by any very considerable fortune. Bel mont’s knowledge was by no means con fined to his proieflion, having a liberal and capacious inind, he acquired a degree of excellence in every accomplifiiment requifiteto form the complete gentle man, the intelligent and agreeable com panion : nor was Mrs. B. less fucccfstul in cultivating the various graces which constitute the accomplifhcd woman.— Happy in the pofieffion of each other, andblcli with numerous friends,, their years rolled on through feenes of perpe tual delight. Two enildren, a son and a daughter, compleated their felicity. Amelia, the eldcft, was inftru&cd principally under their own care ; and her brother a very fine youth, was pla ced at a dillant boarding fchool, where he remained till his thirteenth year. Amelia was the darling of Mrs. B. whose perpetual study was, to ennoblchcr im mature ideas, and place her in the indubi table path of honor and virtue. Henry and his filler were, indeed, the delight of both their parents. The former ha ving acquired an unusually early know ledge of navigation, folicitedhis father to countenance his propenlity for the sea ; a request with which he at length teluttantly complied. A brave com mander,, who afterwards loft his.life in the Well-Indies, having at this time a summer rcfidence in the neighborhood, cheerfully undertook to become his pa tron, and rated him as a midthipman, immediately on the commencement of the war. Amelia every day furrsiihcd new proofs of an enlarged and a fufeep- Columbian JFlufeum, tible mind ; fl,<i not only, excelled in niuJjic and cbacing, but gave evident to- JLeuu of ?. taitc for literature, which her parents cheerfully encouraged. Sheab liorred the difgufling affectation whiph too frequently results from a confciouf nqfs of poileHing uncommon perfonai charms, which flic very prqperly regar ded only as important appendages, to iliofe who poffcls no.other qualification. She had now attained. her 17th year, when the female mind is susceptible of every tender impulse ; and if not pow ; erfully protected by reason, as well as duty.,.often proves unequal to the talk of repelling the dangerous attacks of worth \ less infigniflcants, >vho bpaft of favors •irever conferred, and ot connections no -1 ble only in words.

The king of Pruflia, in his farewell address to the conspiracy, said, that he had supported an army of 70,000 excellent troops, as long as he was able, and that it was necdlefs 1 to attempt a contell with France. j Holland was the second penitentiary; and Spain the third, if France lias been only to contend with each oi these three powers singly and iucccliively, the ltrongelt of them could not have exiited three months.
