This rarcleffncft, or want of
diferimination, is generally at
tributed to his attention being
otherwife diiefted and buried in
meditation. Of wine he was
very fparing, and as loon as be
thought proper, rofe abiuptly
even from the tables of princes.
His officers did the fame and
very little formality was u f ec at
ibeir departure. M
His pockets were always Top
plied with feveral lumps of
chalk, and with (hefe, when on
horfebark, or much employed,
it was h s Cuftom to make me
morandums on lirs jack-boots*
It was remarked, that wherever
he appeared, tbefie t; bids were
always obfcived to have fornc
infi ription on them.
He feemed pnfeckd aware of
the treacherous difpbfition of
hi? countrymen, and never em
ployed any Italian cook or other
leivants. His precautions were
not Icfs among tb.e murderous
Stiletto —When he went to the
Thcatie at Milan, be was con
flantly iunounded with a nume
rous troop of his confidential
officer?. He fee tiled not stall
to regard the acclamations with
which he was always received
by (he audience ; and in coin
ing in, or going cut, marched on
with his generals, taking no no
tice whatever of the crowds
which thronged on every fide to
have a vierv of him. y

Mr. Chnftopher Hoxie, a ci

kind of grain may be extrafted
from the ftraw or chaff in a day,

T lie federal oriflocracy of the
country created a huge phantom
and then let themfelvcs with
tage fo bear it down. It is de
clared by thofe who arc oppofed
to republican fentiments, (hat
t|ie infatia!** fpirit of democracy
intends to refo»t (o aims, in calc
trie republican candidate is not
ultimately placed in die chair of
Bate, This is another fpecimen
of that love of good order ard
atfacbnu nt to government which
federanfir have fficwn upon for
mer orca linns
It is a trick < alculated to throw
the odium retailing from retub
liran tumults, upon thole who
do not deferve it. i be(e tu
mulrs, (hough f xiuir.g in te-
governments, are the
I r*
work s of their er < mies, clefigned
to call, a gloom over (he general
features of liberty, and to tmiifh
the glory of democratic experi
ments. Atillorrats and nionar
chifis, are the real fomcnteisof
public dilluibancc in free go
vern mrijts. When defrated in
their nefarious prcjrfts, they
conceive the plari of ma
king the people infhunnenta] in
their ov;n dtfltuQior they car

the propagation of cletcllable

It is thus the eh ftion of Mtlirs,
[effeifon and Burr is made the
pretf xf of political pscdrftions,
awfui y de \\ 1 uftive to Ihe tran
quility o! the American people.
It is thus that phantoms asc con
trived which have no real exd
and yihofe dcTrmed oh*

confiifion. It is thus that c thirl*,
of domination rs never at re::*
and rf nublican Arncrica is Hid
banefully fu bit died to the turbu
lent fpirit of iiicn, which ftill
threatens, for a length of time,
fclions evils to the unfortunale
people of Europe. It is enough
that we have fuffcml and tied
in the caufe of fretdorr- —It is
enough that our land has been
defolated-—it is now time to pre
ferve, with republican lirmnefs,
that liberty and thole conllitu
tions which have been the price
of blood.
It is almcft in pofiiblc fo foim
a corieLl opinion of exiflipgcir
cumfiances, on (be F.urepean
continent, from Britifti News
papers. Thai machivclian go
vernment, has found the means
to viciafe the very fountains of
intelligence, by adopting or cor
rupting the Editors of the Daily
and other pzpcrs, all
over the world. T hey have had

in Italy, Vienna, llambnrg, Pa
ths Holland, and Philadelphia,
'' Inch regulatlv copy from each

us peipituity of falfhood. We
hope I'ollon is an exception to
this general truth, and that Hti
tiOh influence has not extended
Ulelf to this town fmcc our in
dependence not with Handing; he
advantages it lias by the means
and aHi fiance of lome of its for
mer hierds, who have honoed
it 3S the place of their ichdcnce*
after having in vain attempted
to min it in the courfc of our
late revolutionary fl niggle.
In England there is not ant

Uy, will not, nor date not tell
the whole huth. Thus days

and then it comes “ in fach a
cjucftionablc ffiapc," that wc
(caicey dare u (peak to it," al
though V{S arc fully convinced
it is no phantom conjured up by
perturbed imagination, but afe
rious ar.d auefting reality.
Our readers will recoiled,
that in a Dtc ( hionicle, vve ven

then thought that this manoeuvre
on the pan Denmark was mere

the twilight of a new century 9
the hook of Dte is opened for a
new Itflon to the defpots of the

of nations as well as men, and
to convince fhc world, that
