He goes 1& wants atnE fmtardi 4uch a piace. He feme rime* ass fti. hard words by way#f ornament, which ht always mangles. A man of fashion never has recourse to proverb* and vulgar apborilms ; u ses iKliber favorite words nor hard words ; but takes great care to speak very correftly and grammatically, and to pronounce properly ; that is, according to the usage of the bell companies. An aukward addrefe, ungraceful attjrudes and aftions, and a certain luft-tlazuiiaef* (it I may use that word; loudly proclaim low educa tion and low company ; for it is m poflible to fuppole that a man can have frequented good company, without having cate bed something, at least, of their air and motions. A ttttw-raifed in a in a regiment ly his aukwardnefs ; but he inuft be impenetrably dull, if, in a month or two’s time, he cannot perform at lead the com mon manual exercise, and look like a soldier. The very accoutrements cf a man of fafbjon are grievout in cumbrances to a vulgar man. He is at a lots what to do with his hat, when it is not upon his head ; his cane (ifunfbrturuuciy heweasone) i at perpetual war with every cup < f tea orceffte he drinks; dtilroys them fit ft, and then accompanies them in their fall. His sword is formidable only to his own legs, which would pcffibly carry him faft enough out of the w r ay of any sword but his own. His cloaths fit him ‘ f< ill, and cor drain him so much, that he fee ms rather their prifoncr t! in I heir proprietor. He prefer, ts bimfirif in company like a criminal in a court ofjuftice; his very air condemns him ; and people of fiffii ion will no more conned themfelvcs inrh'thft one, than peopleof char sfter will with the other. This re pulfp drives and finks him into low company ; a gulph from whence lu> man, after a certain age, ever emerged. Lord Chesterfield* FOREIGN NEWS. London, April 12. The honorable admiral Berkely flruck his flag on Wednesday, at Portsmouth, and came to London. IVlinifters have received dispatch es from on?* fleet oflf Cadiz, bring ing an account of the rnoft ftrious diftcrbances having token place at I Tad rid. The people alarmed at the profpeft of want, and learning from every pa t of tire kingdom, t at the grain was bought up for the x e of the French, (for we under f rui the French do not steze, but / / from the farmers, under a t rear however, that if they con < \i it or keep back from the mar ker, ir will be confifcated) there is an aftual infurreftion, but the peo ple have no one to direst thiir ef fc ts—and the consequence will be ; horrible and ufelcls tffufion of LiOOd. The following inftruftions to the commanders of bis majeify’s ships of war and privateers, appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday evening:— (COPY) <k Gforge R. cc Instructions to the commanders of our ships cf war, and privateers: given at our court at Windsor , the 1J th day of April, in the forty-eigth year cf our reign, “ Our will and pfeafure is, that y.iu do net interrupt any neutral y..£El Jack a with lumber ar.d pro- vTtm*, and going to any cf cur cokmtt*, iCands, or fettltmems in the Weft-Indies or South America, to whomsoever the proper’y may appear ro belong, and notwuhftan dir.g such vefttl may not have reg ular clearances and documents on board ; and in case any vefiel shall be met wiih, and be in her due tourfe to the alledged port of her destination, an iiidorfement shall be made on cue or more of the prin cipal papers of such veflel, fpecify ii'g the destination alledged, and the place where the veil'd was so visited.

Accounts received from Holland within this day or two, state, that the French government had at length succeeded in the negociation for placing at its disposal a certain • number of Danish seamen, to man the ships at Fiufhing and other pons in the channel, and that 8000 of them hau commenced their march for these parts of the coast. There is certainly nothing to prevent such of the Danish sailors as may have j been at Holland and Belgium, but there are preciiely the fame obfla cles in the way of those who are in Zealand, as there would be to the paflage of a large military for:e from Holfltin to that island. If 1 8000 or any considerable number of lea men can pais the Belt uomc lefted, there is no reaion why Ber- i nadotte may not transport his ar my acrols the passages with as lit- i tie difficulty.

Yesterday arrived at this port from Liverpool, fliip Dryade, capt. Barker. She left Liverpool on the 20tii April, and brings London pa pers to the 14th ult. from-which the editors of the Ni\v-Yoik Ga zette have made ext rafts: Capt. Barker informs, that the American packet-flip Osage, capt. Duplex, which arrived at I/Orient on the 22d March, had not arrived in England as late as the 18th of Apri.; and that the general opinion in England was, that she had bein fiezed by orri<r of the Frtnch gov. ■ ei>.ii a*, not a fylLbie had been heard from her flnee her ar rival at L’Orient. j Capt. Barker further slates, that petitions against the ordeis in coun cil were pouring in from ail quar • ters of England* and that two ot the miniffers who were in favor of them, had altered their opinion, and were about to bring forward a motion for their appeal. And it was the general opinion in Liver pool, that the orders would be refeinded. American produce was in great demand, and daily on the rife, par i ticulariy cotton. We observe it dated in one of the London prints, as from un questionable authority, that within the diflrict of one ot the cloth-halls in Leeds in Yorkshire, a dccreafe of 29,893 piece* o£ broadcloth, has taken place in the woolen man ulafture, principally during the fix months preceeding the firft of April. - - - ■ - ■- M ONI T O R. Saturday, June 18. The editors of the New-York Gazette fay, they have seen a let ter from a refpeftable house in Liv erpool, to the pwner of the Dry ade, flaring that the Brilifh minifl ry had been already convinced, that the orders in council, had not been productive of any single ad vantage which had been expefted from them—and the writer observ ed, that in his opinion, the day of the orders being refeinded, was* not very diffant. “1 he house of representatives of the Orleans territory on the lOih of March palled a relblution—yeas 14, nays 6—“ that after the expi ration of the feflion, the feat of the legislature shall no longer continue in the city of New-Orleans.” Carolina Messenger, Boston, May 23. By ship New-Galtn, capt. Hinc ley, in 31 days from London, we have received our regular hie of papers to the 19ih of April. The chancellor of the exchequer laid beiore parliament on the 11th ulr the annual budget of taxes.— lhe total of the sums required to meet the expences of the year is the Imall sum of forty-eight millions, six hundred andfifty-three thousand, one hundred and seventy pounds sterling !

Be tween 3 and 4CO men are kept cor flam ly employed on the w orks. The genius of col. Williams united with the superior mechanical abili ties of niefiVs. Hilliard and Soyder, has rendered this fortification in point of strength and elegance, e qual to any perhaps in the world. I hey are at present occupied in the ereftion of a circular tower, w hich from its situation, will be of great advantage in case of attack, being placed on a point of the Island, frem whtnee it can command the Narrows, and in fa ft, the whole of the (haunt 1.

Capt. lyler arrived at Bbfton from Gibraltar, informs, that the- Britifb had taken pofleffion ai commenced a fort on an uninhaf k ted lock, called Parsley-island, fit-, uated under Apes Hill, a little of Ceuta, on the Barbary coast. Preparations were making for ;rt attack on Ceuta, and it was report ed the Moors were to aflift in attack. There were fome rumors, that the French fqadrons were out in the Mediterranean, and a look out was kept for them at Gibraltar, under an expeftation that they might intend to pass through the Streights. Savannah, June 9. By the several arrivals yesterday, we have been favored with late pa pers from New-York and Philadel phia, containing London dates to the 19th of April, being eleven days later than we have before seen. No one can mistake the motives of the Britifb in ifluing his majesty's inftruftions to his armed veflels. These inftruftions aie evidently in tended to encourage and aid dif affefted American citizens in car rying on an illicit and a villainous traffic w ith the Britiffi Weft-Indies, : in defiance of the law's of their ! country. Ir will be a source of | heartfcft*“firmrrft7on to every “re a! 1 American if the ir objeft should be defeated by the vigilance of our naval officers.

The valuable merchant mill, the ! property of W r illiam Richards, efq. | cf Faimouth, was on Tuesday night deft royed by fire. The night was unusually calm, which circum nance, added to the united exer tions of the citizens of Falmouth and Fredenckiburg, prevented the : deftruftion of the two adjoining. ! milk* tobacco ware-house, (which were within from 30 to 60‘ feet) and probably the greater part of the town. It is feared that the fire was communicated bv lome vile incendiary. Nashville, April 12.
