I am aware, gentiwnen, that much trouble and expeoce tyill arise in the execution of these inftruftions; but I am perliiaded that your perlonal labors will be compeniated by public benefit which they will produce; and I promise at the next feflion of the Legislature to enforce the claims for a reimbursement of every reasonable pecuniary charge, with the strongest recommendation that the justice and ne cefiity of the case will admit. I cannot conclude this address without reminding every t class of my follow citizens of the importance of its objects. To the veterans who were active in our revolutionary war it will not be indifferent, when they reflect that the fame patriotic virtues which established our National independ ence will always be competent to protect our national bights. The fifing generation derive from the present crjfis an early opportunity to prove that they are worthy of the glorious inheritance, a Free Republican Govern ment, which has been prepared for them by the courage and wiflom of their ancestors. And every enlightened statesman will surely rejoice when he beholds in tire Mili tia of the Union a competent bulwark for its defence and fafety foperfeding the neceflity and averting the danger of a numerous {landing army. ‘l*! “ 1 am, with sincere regard and eftee*, Gentlemen, : , : Your moft obedient and faithful servant, (Signed) THOMAS MIFFLIN.

The Captain of the French privateer informed Cape. Quinton that his orders were, ill case any American velfel made refilhnce, to give them no quarter. I . On Saturday evening, about a quarter pad 6 o’clock, I the New Factory in the Prison Yard of this city (a semi- I circular brick-building, two ffories high and 300 feet in extent) was difoovered to be on fire, by Columns of smoke jiffuing from all parts of the bttildiwg nearly at the fame I time. The smoke was soon succeeded by flame, and, al -1 though the city was immediately alarmed, and’the fire lengines and thousands of citizens flew to assist in the quel llingof it, the furious element was not got under before 8 [o’clock, by which time the whole of the roof, all the win- Hows, three fourths of the floor, and the greater part of ■the machinery, tools, materials, &c. used by the various Rttifaas employed tlierein, were deftroy^d.

The abstruse feiences are un connected with domestic life. But Why not rendered com. paqions for the more dffeerning of the other sex? From the too common neglect of inteHcClhal aecomplilhments flows the falfc and illiberal luggellion that'youf underftandmg is Weak, and therefore incapable'of any corifiderable culture.

The inftru&ive page of* sacred and profane history Ihould fever lie open be fore you. The rife, progress, and fall of kingdoms and of individuals, teach admirable lelFoiis; and pour upon you that knowledge of human nature of’which none Ihould bft deftifute who pretend to any degree of refinement. Geo graphy and chronology, the favorite handmaids of history, enable you to fee folly tliefoeauty and propriety of tlie his toric tale. Astronomy is worth attention; the perspicuity with which its firft principles are laid down facilitates their attainment; delightful is it to trace the signatures of wife dom and goodnels every where iroprefled on creation, and to know lbmethingof t(ie general laws by which your days and your nights, your- fupiiriers and your Mriutcrs, noli round with such aftonifhnig regularity.

In your attachments be decidedly fixed. Coquetilh frivolity dilgraces tbofe who dare indulge it. . . t “ Let modesty preside over every department ofcondudl. “ Be virtuous anil religious.” Such are the prominent features of female excellence. Now for the inequality of their right®. In vain might we iearch for motives by which to juftify this principle in difference of pli) iical organisation, of in tellect or of moral fentibility; it had at firft.no other ori. gin but abuse of strength, and all the attempts which have since been made to foppoit it are idle sophisms. It is to be lamented that throughout all Alia, Africa, and moft parts of Europe, it is ftili the cuftorn to shut up the fair sex, and make them priibfttrs, ‘frdm ‘tbeir eaciiell youth. I would adviie my female readers, if they wilh to assert their privileges, to begin by'renouncing tlieir passion * for trinkets and baubles, which leads to their lubjedtion; to abandon their errors and their prejudices; to conquer their love of dominion; to renounce a life of frivolity; to detest vanity; and to ftgTr no lortger after objedls the attainment of which can confer ho feat JJleafitfe. I conjnnei..yoiLabave all things to leam to think and make use of your reason; luperftition and we'aknefe alone can ensure the dominion of the other sex over you. < 1 I ■■■■!* a , -| nm I 111 111 *<■ FIFIEEN DQtXARS REWARD , WILL be paid to any person who may lodge in the Workhouse in Savannah, the following NE GROES, who ran away on.
