"""" FEMALE GARKULIi y, ACCOUNTED FOR. An old eaflern tradition fays, that while Adam and Eve were in the happy garden, there was {cm down to them a prefent, con filling of twelve bafets filled with chit chat, and that the balkets being emptied, the con tents Were fcaltered about the garden. It happened in the mean time, that Adam, being in a penfive, tho’tful mood, paid itfs attention to this prefent than his fair partner did, fo that he ga thered only three bafkets full, .while Eve nimbly collected, and carefully laid away for her ufe, the other nine. The natural confequencc was, that the flock of fmall talk, which women have, is 3 in companion Vv’ith that of men, as three to one. From Mrs. Wakefield’s Re flections on the Female Sex. “ An advantageous fettlement in mairiage is the univerfal prize for which parents of all claffes enter their daughters upon the liHs; and partiality or felf com placency allures to every com petitor, the moft flattering prof pe6l of fbccefs. To this one point, tends the principal part cf female infirudlion —for the premotion of this defign, their bed years for improvement, are Sacrificed to the attainment of attractive qualities, Ihevvy luper ficial acconipUlhments, polifhed manners, and in one word, the Whole fcience of pleating, which is cultivated with unceafing affi duity, as an object of the moll effential importance. “ The end is laudable, and deferving of every effort to fe cure it i a happy marriage may be eflimated among the rarefl felicities of human life; but it may be doubted whether the means ufed to accomplifh it are adequate to the purpofe i as the making a firft irnprclTion is by no means effectual to determine the preference of a wife man. It is not then fufficient, that a girl be qualified to excite admi ration : her own happinefs, and that of the man to whom foe devotes the remainder of her days, depend upon her poficffion of thofc virtues, which alone can preierve lading edeem and confidence. <f I he omccs of a wife are different iiom thofe of the mere pageant of a ball room ; and as their nature is more exalted, the talents they require are of a more noble kind; fomething far be yond the elegant trifler, is want ed in a companion for life. A young woman is very ill adapted to enter into the mod folemn of focial contracts, who is not prepared, by her education, to become the participator of her hufbandh cares, the confcler of Lis for rows, his diiubiatdr to 1 every pmile worthy undertaking,,’ his partner in the labors nrd ci Hi tubes of life, tire faithful and* economical manager of his af fairs, and judicious fupefintend ant of his family, the wife and affidionafe mother of his chil dren, the prtferver cf his honor* his chief conn Teller, and to furn up all, the chofen friend of his bofom. If a modern female education be not calculated to produce thefe effedls, as few furely will judge it to be, who rtfled upon its tendency, it is incompetent to that very pur pofe, which is confeflediy its main object, and mull therefore be deemed imperfect, and re quire reformation.” A WORD TO PARENTS and MASTERS. “ Train up a child in the way he fhculd go, and when he is eld, he will not depart frt m it .” Take Solomon’s advice, and ! if you defign your children for blackguards, begin in feafon. Let them from their infancy, hear and learn curfinmand fwcar . , ! ing, fo that by four or five years of age, they will boldly call I father an old devil, and mother a h — h. Let them never be crof fecl or refrained in anyway, for fear they fhoiild cry. When the little fed lows ileal (lily into a neighbour’s houfe or garden, and ich, fpcak very gently to them, and fay, don't do fo 3 and if they laugh in your face, take it as a proof of wit \ frnile and call them young dogs. In this way, you will make them lads of fpirit, and by the time they are fifteen years of age, they will be fitted for the gambling table, and to perform great feats in the dark, Inch as turning ever chairs, rolling carts into the ft reel , knocking at people's doers at a late hour cf the night, and other wonderful atchievements, in which they do themfelves no good, and others much injury. This is the way to make young rogues, and old fools—and children ne ver depart from fuch ways as thefe. ►yeSttgcgßSiv; 1 ? .pZZtZtZSmZi tjsTy t -.c.^aaar. BALTIMORE, July 31. The manly, decided, and dig nified reply of Mr. Jefferfon to the merchants and traders of Nesv-Havcn, is a moft excellent phillippic on thefe middling arif tocrats. 1c may be rendered into plain Englilh in thefe words : Merchants of New-Haven, Mind your own bufmefs, and I I will mind mine—the tones held offices long enough—it is now requificc that they ihould be given to the true friends of the country —which I fhall con tinue to do as long as I find a republican worthy to fill an office now occupied by an ariflocrat ; therefore, keep your remenftran ces in future to yourfelves, mi le fs you can find juil caufe for remonflrating. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1. Extract of a letter front London, dated June 13. cf It may not be amifs, as you are at a great diflance from Eng land, to inform you of the opi nion entertained of Mr, Adding ton, t he prcfer.t chancellor cf the exchequer. On both ficles cf the houfe, he is rdpefled for his integrity. John Horne Tcoke, when Mr. Addifon firil took his feat as miniiler, faid, in fpcaking of him in that capa city, that he had the highefl ref pedt for him as a man of worth, arid confidence ; but in accept ing the office he held, t{ he be came a 'vitllm to his gratitude.'" Thtfe were his words. Other gentlemen of equal weight with Mr. Tooke, on the fame fide of the houfe, have paid their tribute cf refpedl to his moral redbitude ; and being held in inch high tftimation in the houfe, as an honeft man, the public at large look with confidence to liis promife to bring about a ne godation for peace with France, though fuch an event cannot go forward with any certainty or effect, till another great event is known, namely, the fate of Egypt. Buonaparte, in endea voring to lefien the triumph of the Britilli fiag, depended much on the fuccefs of the league en teral into by the northern pow ers ; that league being broken by the vigilance and valor of the Britilh fleet* he is foiled in that hope—and the late di{patches from Egypt give him but Bender reafon to expedt greater fuccefs in that quarter. The chief con ful is therefore fuppoled to be meditating at this moment* fome grand Broke as his dernier refort. Intelligence has been received, that the combined fleet at Brefl is full of troops, and the fhips ready to put to Tea. It this cun jedlure be well founded, news of fill greater importance from Britain, may Eon be expeded on your fide j fliould any events of importance take place, de pend on hearing from me by the firft opportunity.” Augufi 5. It was currently reported, the day the Hiram, left Lifbon, that the Court of Portugal had made peace with France and Spain, on the 10th of June. An order had been ill lied to put into fe qucflration all the horfes and mules belonging to Portuguefe and Britifn lubjeds, which cauf ed much uneafinefs at Lifoon. Two Engliih packets for Lifbon had been taken by the French and one had put back to Lifbon in dilire Is. Jttgtift G. Extract from a letter written hy a gentleman in Ireland , to his friend in Frederickjlurg , dated <c Armagh, May 20. “ T here are a great many veffcls arriving in all our ports from your country, and all take back what paflengers they can accommodate. The emigra tion will exceed 13,000, and it is thought that if government does not put a flop to it, the emigration will be confiderably greater next fpring. The op preffed people feein anxious to get away to your happy country * the poor are in a tiuly diftreffed Hate, owing to the fcarcity of provifions, many are nearly flarving. c< It is conjeflured that the French again intend vifiting us, and I hope they will be well re ceived.” ExtrcH cf wether /«v t , :■ .;» fame gentleman U NeWRV, J m:e - <f I am ferry to inform the inhabitants cf this count-- never experienced a great - fcarcity and famine ; but tha.

Poor people had not money to pur chafe, laft year’s dearth had drained them of all their calk, and they are now felling their property, furniture, &c. in or der to procure the common ne ceiTaries of life. <c The emigration of the middle dais of people to your country this year far exceeds the numbers that have failed for 6 years paft.

If he does not or will not deliver them, we cannot help it; it is an abide for which we are forry that we have no other corrective at pre fenr, than an appeal to his feel ings and fenfe of juftice and pro priety. The anfwer of Mr. JefTerfon, to the remonftrance of the mer chants of New-Haven, is a va luable document i a pertinent: fupplement to his inauguration fpeech ; or rather an excellent elucidation cf fomc fentiments, which were there rather obicuie* The language of this anlwer, to a remonftrance frivolous and m fuking, is calm, dignified, am difpaifionate j yet feverdy preftive.
