An ffiieniibihty to the world’s opinion is e vuicire of a heart, Title awake to the bell emo. nous that coaid fill it. Valov, benevolence and generality are qualities that will command np probation, and he who di[regards them is until for facial enjoyment. Rat this love of fame, “this longing after im. mortality” has given birth to ft range and pro. pullsrons attic.is. At tire celebrated games of Rome, which on account of their po.npt and splendor were called Olympic. Peregrimcs plunged headlong into a heated furnace, in or der as he alfedged, to immortalize his name. Ercftratus wrapt the temple of Diana in de vouring flames; a~d the l.iconflderacy aligned as his motive for doing so, the desire he felt to be remembered by iusceeding generations. These nfh, and deiperate attions could be ex pitted only from mad fiefs; yet men with am bition to attratt observation have been found , capable cf committing them. An anecdote ! here occurs to me, which I fnall take the liber-; ty of.tranfcvibing. , Lee and Dryden were cotemporaries, and brother poets. Their pursuits being iimilar, aa ardent friendship was contrasted, which con tiaued with life. Immediately almost after they r.a4“jourtiy !., -’spiers zy commenced its date. Dry Jen being i. form led that his friend had intervals cf time, during which he was pcrfettly rational, on a panic, !.?, occafioa went to fee him. After e&nverfir.g ve ry reasonably for fome time, I-.ee propefed a %-alk. ffi the balcony o i the top of the building. Dryden convinced of his preient rationality aft. Toted. While above, the interval of reafo i ex pired, and Lee's phreuzy returned. “Let us,” cried he “jump to the ground, and immortalize cur names.” Dryden, with great presence of m. id,'replied “Any man could jump down— let us walk there and jump no” This idea pleaied the mailman, and without dcubt saved Dryder/s neck. This anecdote serves to fliew that even in the moment of delerium, the idea of immoitali ty eagroifed the mind of Lee. Again—l have no doubt, but that many cf our Botturnal heroes, wiiofe pride :z is, to break windows, and remove sign boards, am impeded . to do so, by no other motive, than to come’ into the notice of other people. Where this love or dillinclion, however, is preduttive once oft?ad attions, it is, 1 think I mnv venture to the patent ot ninety-nine good ones 5 and h must therefore be couiidered as a passion im planted iu our nature for the bell and wife ft pnrpofes.

Alfruttri to November %o, tßb6, JAWED IRWIN, Governor. BRITISH VOLUNTEERS. A thuinttion without a difference is rade by the BrLifii papers here ax to Americans com p.tteri to serve, and bofe who volunteer. In 1 this paper a publication lately appealed to prove ! that in the very nature of things, it was highly; improbable that there w m any such charatter m j the whole Brit fli navy a volunteer American bora seaman. Since that article was published, aief-j pccsable Captain in the merchant's service com r” <*cffcd to me the Manner in which A merienri ban, i arc made Volunteers in the navy ol L. g and. So soon as an American rs imprefled, the vr •retilug officer tears his ptotefftoh. LL ii theft . rough t before the cap Luo who haughtily <: e inands * what fellow is this •?’ *Heis a ddertef ilcafe your honor !’ No, fi“, I an “u Ameri can citizen. ‘ You are, arc you ? P; ■:/ th , Sr, where is your protettion ?’ *lt was tek; tk, ftomtneby the officer of the p uty that prefi. and me.’ c Ah, that’s the old fleory of all yon run: ways. Is there any one 0.1 board lias a y knowledge of this fellow ?’ Ti e business b ing perfectly underflood, and regularly systttih ~ fixed, a British Sailor Heps forward, makes fr’s bow, and fays, ‘ Yes, p’eafe ytiur honor, I know him very well, he was in the fame me A with me for 18 months, or, board his majesty 3 ffiip . Tffere’s Tom Handing there, knows him as well as I do, Tom immediately take* i the hint, Heps up and confirms the story of his meiTmate with a due feafonirsg of oaths. The American ihunderftfuck at such baseness, vainly endeavors to be heard ? he will not be permitted to speak. He ia commande , and compelled ti< be iilent, and this feene of iniquity is concluded -1 by his being ordered below for further examina tion. He is not brought up again for for ft vi ral days, if he is refrattorv, & in the mean time he is treated with the mo ft rigorous severity. tde bitterest tauntings, and the moft cruel threat nings. In this rr.nner, furroundeil by enennes and without a friend his Ipirits fiak and he ea ters, with a fixed determination to embrace the. ; fir ft occasion to efcapt f r om his bondage. Will i any man presume to fay, that men thus imp rest ; led into the service, are Volunteers, or will he> pretend that such z contrail is, or ought to bob bin ding ? The captain who communicated the above faffs, concluded the statement so met hi rig in this* way, “ American seamen volunteers in the Bn tilh navy : are such voluiiteers as I once favv ia | Dublin. I was walking on one of the quays, when I met a parcel of soldiers guarding a nnm ber of men, who were handcuffed and walking irr the centre. 1 flopped up to one of the guard, 1 and enquired who those men were that they were? thus conducting in handcuffs. Indeed then* j Sir, {aid the soldier, with perfect gravity of coun tenance, they are volunteers going to Live his majeuy ! 1“ j Ditn, Press. i Tire Soften Repertory f leers at the idea of gunboats and 100,000 militia : and demands how we are to fight the British, “ whose home it on the deep ?” It is truly ludicrous to ob serve the motions cf such ipirits as write for the Repertory. They think nothing can be done* , except we put to sea ; that we can only bring the British to terms by encountering them on the o ccan. Poor, indeed, would be our chance of fueft cels, if we had no other mode of attack than that! If we had.in exiltence all the snips put in comnfiffion by Waih igton a.id Adrms (rottea timber and ail) ?i’d three times as maoy l-efide. , we could ftarid ho chance with the fleets of Etig : land. But there is a mode of fighting here which will be fpeediiy effectual. We can fight her nianufadteriee, and there we can overcome her. And we can do this according to the Fa bian node of procedure ; not by fighting ; by minding our own business and having no inter .cotirfe with the pirates of the ocean. If they attack our ports, our gun boats will help to be.it them off: and if they dare to land, our 100,000 militia will give a good account of them. The xperiment on the United States will not be, wlr.ch can beat or, the high seas ; but which r.a c.o: can do without friendly intercourfc the long est. It. ny of the federal editors are like turtles; vhen the firft fiafh of public indignation for the ■it.-age on the Cheftpeake-appeared, they drew their heads; but now they think the public nnd is a little cooled, and they may thru ft their needs out again and faap as usual.
