Mr. Editor, A WORD in your ear, Mr. Editor—l’ll tell you why young ladies do not go off %uite so soon and so frequently as formerly— they are too nice and too proud, I know a young lady—not very young now indeed, who to my certain knowledge has refuted above fifteen offers—one, because the gentle man could not afford to keep a coach, ano ther because he knew nothing of the Italian qperas, a fourth because he (looped in the flioulders, a fifth because he had not fortune ■ enough, a sixth because he was a tradesman. This lady’s own fortune is as follows: In Bank Stock £. c o o Three per cents, confols 000 Ditto, reduced o , o o New five per cents. 000 Four per cents, confols 000 Lottery tickets 200 India Stock . 000 Total '*oo To which in ca(h, diamonds,&c.- may be added OOP / ' ’ ■ +' * * Making in all o 0 o , , With a fortune like this, you may judge with what propriety a lady rejetfs a traded ' man, or infills on keeping a coach. But this is nothing to what I have known Sometimes; and I generally observe, Sir, that, when a man willies to take to himfelf a wife, he felecfs some plain, honed girl from an obscure corner, who has never been heard of in the gay world, who has sense enough to acquit herfelf with propriety in the impor tant relative duties of wife and mother, one Who, though she may not have learning enough t,o count her game, has prudence enough to ma nage her family; although not aspiring to ride in a coach, will always be provided with necefiaries of life by a proper economy. While parents perfid in the absurd plan they have been pursuing for some time, of educating their children in such notions of expence and grandeur as do not become their situation, it mud be the case that they are un fitted for wives to perfnns of their own rank, for if you have fully persuaded a young crea ture that die has beauty’and accomplidimehts ' to enrapture a lord, the facrifice of her vir tue will not be a difficult matter. I never fee parents displaying their children in extravagant dtefs, and inviting the com pany of opulent bachelors above their rank, -without considering the poor girls as brought to Jale by the candle , and to be knocked down to the bed bidder—once in a thousand times a bargain may be druck in this a vay.of buji nejty hut much" more generally, difappoint mentand disgrace are the cortfequencea. I would not, Sir, perhaps have expressed myfelf so freely on this fuhjeft, but that I i onfidcr thi3 error of parents as the proper tihjetl for the fevered cenfute—and if this ihort letter anfwcrs any good ptirpofe, even in one inrtanee, 1 (hall be very happy. lam, jsir, your'r, &c. Writing Paper For £4!* it th* * GEORGIA. PETER S BURCH, Jan 13. ON the pthinft. Major General de Hath* manoff arrived here with a detail of the taking of Oczakow, which was immedi ately made public. It appears thereby that the Turks had 8300 killed; 140 tfied after wards of their wounds. There are 4000 troops and 23000 inhabitants prifooets. she trophies consist in 310 cannon, and 180 co lours. The enemy loft 283 officers of rank killed, and 432 wounded. On our fide we ' had one Major-General, one Brigadier, three of the state major, and 101 subaltern officers, with 926 privates, killed ; 18 officers of state major, 23 other officers, and 1704 privates wounded. ,> VIENNA, Jan. 21. His Majesty the Emperor will go shortly to Bohemia, and vifitPlefs and Thcrienftadt, to review their fortreftes! They talk of an interview taking place between him and the King of Prussia, at which fevcra! of the mag nats of Poland are to be present. The Count de CobCnziel, Vice-Chancellor of state, will set out in a few days for Ger many and the Auftnan Pays Bas, with im portant commissions. With the states of thre empire he will enter into a negociation re fpecfing the Germanic confederation; and w-ith the Flemings he is to fettle the differences which have arisen on the subsidies which the states of Brabant refufe to pay. It is said the Ruffians have found two mil lions of ready money in Oczakow. The uneatinefs which had arisen from the steps taken by Prussia begin to subside since his Majesty has declared his intention to use all possible means to bring about a ge neral accommodation ; it was time that the Pruffiau Monarch ftiould explain himfclf in this manner, as otberwife, it is said, a triple alliance would have been entered into between France, Roffia, and oui Court. The following is a copy of the report of Prince Gallitzm, the Ruflian Ambaftador at Vienna, relative to the capture of Oczakow. “ The place was taken by assault the 17th of December. The number of besiegers amounted to 14,00© men, that of the garri son to 12,000, 7400 of whom were killed on the spot, exclulive of those killed in the houses. In this place they found 300 metal cannons and mortars; the grand powder ma gazine blew up, but they have taken a great quantityof ammunition of'every kind. The number of inhabitants was 23,000, amongst whom are 4000 very handfom women. The Ruffians have loft icoo men, including 180 officers. The Bachft who commanded the fortrefs was made prisoner with the rest of the garrison. The Aga who commanded the tjoops was cut to pieces, as he would nut yield.” V ER 3 A I L LE S, Feb. 1.

Yesterday morning died, at Caen Wood, the Right Hon. William Earl Mansfield. He is succeeded in his immense property by his nephew, Lord Viscount Stormont ; and \ the title goes to the noble-Lord’s eldeftfon. The Right Hon.

This day died, aged 66 at his boufe in the city of Bath, Admiral Gambier. The Admiral last year married Miss Necombe. It is said that the King’s riches are seven millions in the Bank; and fume foreigners lay there are four millions iu the Bank at Vi enna. The Emperor’s levies of money exceed those of troops—at Vienna the merchants • have offered him 23,000 florins, but he re quires 40,000; the pbyficians have offered 10,000, but the Emperor fays 30,000. The Ruffian Ambaftador, at the Hague, has applied to their High MightinelTes, to know “ if the interference of the tepublic will be followed by arming ?** and was given to undeftand, “ that although they had no such design at present, and only waited for an amicable cmclufion, yet the republic could not foe with indifference the war extended farther than Finland.” The fall of Weft-India cotton has been so great this year, chat one house will lose up wards of jo,oool. The cotton tha* the par ties poftefted, which was lately offered for 2s 6d. per lb is now to be fold at 13d. and even at that price there arc few buyers. feb. 20. Yesterday in the Court of Common Council, the Lord Mayor having received the state of his Majesty's health, ciufed it to be read to the Court which created univetfa! joy in the bteaft cf every member present. His Majesty lately in walking through tho gardens at Kew, suddenly conceived a strong inclination to g« up the pagoda. The atten dants remonstrated against this de-ire, but his Majesty persevered, and inlifted upon having it gratified. An apprehension that his Ma jesty might conceive fume raffi intentions, if lnffered to go up, induced the attendants to exert their ftreugth to prevent him ; and when he found that he could not overcome them, he threw himfclf suddenly on the ground, de claring he would not quit that place. Fearing that the damp grass would be injurious to him, . four of the attendants took him up, two hold ing hi t. arm*, and the others his legs, and car ried h.m home. j NAB* AU, Marrh jf.
