His life being of no further use to himfelf, or his friends, he takes this method of endeavouring to tutu his death to fonie account ; and the novelty of the performance, he hopes, will merit the. attention and patronage of the public. He will perform with two piftohv ‘he firft (hot to be di.efted through the abdomen , to which will be added another through his brain ; the whole to conclude with ftaggeiing, couvirl fions, gt innings, &c. in a manner never be foie publicly attempted. The doors to be opened at eight, and the exhibition to begin piecifely at nine. Particular places, sot that night only, reserved for the ladies. N. B Beware of coun erfeits and importers. The person who advertifes.ro hang himfelf the lame night, in oppofiuon to Mr, Touch wood, is a tailor, who intends only to give the reyrefemation of death by daucing in a collar, an attempt i. Anilely inferior to Mr. T.’s original and authentic performance. Jan. Our treaty with Piuflia and Holland, so loudly coudemued, proves that Mr. Put’s abilities* in lefpeft to foreign affairs, s c as splendid as his talents in the domeitic tianfac tions of tkf Bate. The f) stem now begins to open its advan tages to the public, slid whtn full y coinpleai ed # will give tv fcieat-luuiu a degtse of ■ independence of ltrength which (hail place her t in a duration far above what .lie ever couid > boast, even at the zenith of her glory iu the , adminiltratiun of the late Lord Chattum , Site will be enabled to command reipert, t- and to preserve peace; to advance hereto. • fperity unmarked by bioodihed, and keep • Europe in awe without firm# a gu i. Illiterate h’relirfga may abuse the Mrniflef for not taking advantage of the diftrelTe* til > France, and blame his pufillauunity in not lit iking a blow in that quarter of the world that would difibfe our ancient enemv front, ■ railing her arm againlt Engiaud foi centu ic* to come: But he who has read the hillory >f empires, and i» able difpaftioiiately to weuhl the nature of the cause, as well as the event,, nufi perceive that the injuilirc of such a pr >- ceeding could only-npprefr the opprerfed, and' gaining a momentary triumph over France* ensure an everlalliug fttgma to the arm-, of Great* Britain. Our conduit on this important occaliott deviates not from the national character wo have so long preserved, and if we are to he ( taught by precept, and follow from examine* the altive part which our Gallic neightuuiS took in the Americau war, ads *rds a due les son againlt any nation embroiling herfelf m the internal commJtiona of another; <he diadem of Louis was loft in the Britilh fut« render at York town, and the • t Otum fung* by France on the occidon, was a palling bell - to her own monarchy. As an arbitrary government we had noth, ing to fear from her; but, when the set- upi the ftaudard of liberty, we have fometht ij; to dread from her rivalihip. We could no& aHi It her King in regaining his puwe., i>e caufe that would be werrtug againlt theprin* ciplos on which our own conltiunon Hauls; it would be imitating the very coulud wi.di involved the crown of that country iu its u e* feut d ill refs , and wc could no* tike part w.cti the National ABem’ily, as thit would hides to maturity the very lyflem of a goveiumenc that we are to apprehend as a rival. Peace, therefore, was the grand objVt of this country to maintain; and, whillt new laws were treading down eltablilhed con'ti* tutions, it was the duty of a wife Mmnter iu England to Hicngtheii- our alliances, and to form a connexion founded on such recipro* city of advantages that ita everlalting pre servation mult be the inteieft of each party.
