IIOW TO 00T A DASH. You mu ft firtT fall upon Ibrtje way to cheat a lay lor, by getting in bi.\ debt; for a great deu! you know, de pends upon exteriors. There is no crime in this, for you wiM pay him if you are able—and good clothes are very ncceffary for a dufh. Tell u fine flory to fume acquain tance, who knows but little about you. and by this means borrow as much mo ney as will furnifh you with a very small bamboo, or a very large cudgel; extremes arc indispensable for a good daffi. When you walk in the street, take ofFyour hat to every gentleman’s car riage that pafffs. You may do the fame to every pretty woman”: for if she fs well bred, (you being smartly dressed) flic will return the compli ment, before Hie be able to recoiled? whether your’s be a face {he has seen somewhere or net—those who fee it, will call you a dashing fellow. Y/hen a beggar flops you, put vour hand in your pocket, and tell him you sre very furry you have got no change. This, you know, will be ftriß truth ; and (peaking truth is a commendable quality. Or, it it suits you better, bid him go to the parish ; this you may calily do in a dashing way. As for vißuals, you must run in debt at your lodging house. You have nothing to do when the score becomes troublcfome, but to cliange your lod gings—but you must do this very fii ly, for fear you should be obliged to cut a da ill behind fame iron barred window. Never think of following any busi ness—such conduit is unworthy of a ny dasher. In the evening, never walk flraight along the footway, but go in a zig sag diieftion. I his will make fome people oclieve you have been dashing down your three bottles after dinner. No da flier goes home sober. THE COMMON PROCESS OF MAR RIAGE. A 1 cuti or Maiden muling by chance, hro't ingethn by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civ,Hites, go home ar.d dream of one another.— Having lata to divert attention or diversify ihovgot, they find themselves uneasy, token they are opart, and therefore conclude, that they shall be ‘’ happy together. They marry, and discover what i nothing, but voluntary blindness had before conceal cd ; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty, FOR THE INTELLIGENCER. Mr. M'Lean, TRUTH is a virtue which every in dividual ought to be fair.ilar with—it is the bounden duty of all to scatter this heavenly virtue through the Societies to which they may be attached. The man who is callous to th;s principle is unworthy the converse of rational and immortal beings—beings who were created in the image of Him who holds in his hands the deflinies of man—Him to whom they are indebt ed for their existence. The man, who unblufh- : ingly, endeavors to blast the reputation of an other, must possess principles not unlike those of j the Prince of Devils, consequently one who is a dangerous member of focicty. I have been led to these remarks, fir, from hearing a person, endeavor to stab the reputa tion of an innocent female ; but, he was soon checked by one who knew the value of a good name, which put an end to his fiend like remarks on this innocent—thisunprotefted female. Base, fir, must be the roan who attempts to deprive an j innocent one of ah (he pclleties—ner reputa tion, I am aware, frr, that virtue itfelf is not a fefficient (liield to ward off the the (hafts of ma licious (lander—no one, however virtuous, cf capcs the feoffs of an Ungrateful world. Look, to the abuse which has been heaped upon the President of the'United States—who, it is true, is but a man—dill one who has, as yet, adminif ter.ed jutlice to all—one who envies not the fame of no niam—.one who (lands high in the eilimaiion of a very large majority cf his fellow citizens—yet, fir, all this is not fufffeient to ward off the breath of calumny ; therefore, what must the one who walks in a lower sphere hope for ? Poverty, fir, is rto crime—one who seeks an honed livelihood—one who deals justly with his fellow-men is as high in the eflimation of his God, as him who fits upon an earthly throne, and to whom the unfortunate are compelled to pay court. A FRIEND TO VIRTUE. FROM THE AURORA. Ships, Colonies, Commerce. The affairs cf the world are now ours; becairfethe current of worldly affairs has taken fnch a course, as to leave the Untied States no choice be tween playing the hog in fwiiriming again!? it, or going along with it hnoo thly and gaily and triumphantly. Every event in political tranfa&ions in modern times, is foretold by a phrase, or anticipated by a bon-motor an epigram—What a volume was con tained in the sentiment, that nothing in the present, fhouid resemble the preceding century —it was at firft tak en as a bold faying, a figure of rheto ric, and it is already matter of history, and bye and bye it will be history al together. Who cen forget the offers made to the king of Prussia, before the battle of Jena —and the bon-mot that was pro duced by the cavalier’s reply to the king of Prussia P— c * We (hall reply to this letter in a month in Berlin.”— Who can forget the conduß of the Swcdifh monarch in Stralfund—that Stralfund is now a French fortrefs on the Baltic ? Who can forget British indemnity for the pad, and security for the fu ture ?—What a satire on human foily is the security of Britain now. About ten or twelve months ago, we ventured- to suggest, that Bona parte would find resources for Ihips. colonies and commerce', in ancient Greece, and the ihores of the'JEuxinc. ■We gave wur readers a ferics ofeffays on the commerce’ of the Levant, and promiffd another series on the com merce of the Euxine—The atfivc in terference of Ruffa in the war the temporary success of the British min filer, Arbutbnot, at Conftantinopie—- and the occupation of Malta by Jhe British, deprived us of a principal part of the motive for this exam.na tion; because, the mass of readers do not derive so much gratification from the contemplation of {peculations ti’at are remote in their accompliihment, as they do from the examination of e vents, that are in the course to exig ence. The French are now, in LB, in the Euxine, and allied with Ruffa, and wc may take up the (peculation with more advantage in the course of the winter, than we could at any peri •od previous to the battlcof Friedland, but we fir all just observe here, fn pas sant, that by the battle of Fiiedland, France obtained the molt ample re sources for ships —that is, naval stores, that are to be found on earth, by o pening the Euxine. Since that period, also, Dalmatia and the whole coast and harbors of Greece are opened to France. The forefts of Maccdon and Mingrclia— the cedars of Lebanon and the oaks of the Boryfihenes—the timber and the tar and turpentine, and hemp of Grim Tartary, arc opened to her ar lenals. May we, without irritating those who never foretell nor forefee, and we might add, never und.erftand any thing, may we refer to another case, in which we ventured to anticipate as ptobable, but is now about to become reahiy. It is notorious that the discipline of the Spanish navy is beyond all com parifion bad—while in the art of ship building the have no fupcrlors. Spa-* nifh valor and Spanish honor have ne ver been doubtful as they concern the nation. But the apaihy of the nation has become such, both in military and naval affairs, that anew genius is re quired to revive their ancient charac ter.for enterp’rize and atchievmenr. We ventured to surmise ten or twelve months ago, that wiih a view to the acquisition of {hips, colonics and commerce, Bonaparte would endeav or to infufe into the Spar.ith nation the fame fpiiit by which he has enabled France to elcßcrize the world, & that Portugal would probably be given to the Spanish monarchy, in exchange for that southern border of the Bay of Biscay, which extends from Bayonne to Finifterre. It now appears that this plan is on the tarpis and that the vacant kingdom in the projeß of the western empire, may bt filled up with the name ol Na voree. It is now probable that the Spanish provinces of Gallacia from the mouth of the river Minho, will be formed in to this new kingdom, under the old ti de, with Asturias, Biscay, Navarre, Arragon north of the Ebro, and Ca talonia to the mouth of the fame liver, will be ceded to Spain in exchange for Portugal. The cessions in relation to the great Scheme of {nips, colonies and com merce, are of the greatest consequence. On the Mediterranean—they give Barcelona, lortofa and Martoral and mat hardy race of men whole charac ter is the fame as their neighbors of Roufflon, On the Atlantic the acquisition is immense it gives to the western empire I uy an the Minho-, the important and defenfible pofuion of Vigo, the ports of Garcia, Encobr’s, Villa Major, and MurOs, Finifterre, Dea Corunna, Fer roi and Ortegal, Bares, St. Ciprian and A vales, Villa Viciofe, St. Ande rs Santiliana, Csllro, and Btlboa and the Snug ports of ilundara, Leva, St. Sebalfian, and Fontarabia. By the po Iff Li on of the coast from St. Jean de Luz to Vigo— Cape Clear in Ireland, and Capa Fini[\ ti> in Gallacia, both in 8 degrees weft : 0n gitude from Paris, become the a Ui j extremes of the great Bay of Bif Cay But the occupation is not so point as the advantage, ny the occy. pation of this coast, the cauipmp n . and the oilpatch of effects are bets rendered facile, and less fubjeß to be aff’cßed by weather, at the lame that they multiply the means of Hujiq. ing equipping and manning of fS^. Thcfe territories, whether in f U p Cl ficial extent or population are about equal ; but the provinces of the new kingdom are incomparably, heft f or the purposes ol naval equipment and commerce.
