DR. FRANKLIN. We have been favored with the following curious observation from the pen of Dr Franklin. Ii Wit. found among a number of., remarkable manuscript, notes of his written on the margin of a pamphlet* called >4 Moral and Po litical Reflections,” published in London in 1770, and has never before beer m.*de pub-ic. il The difference” (between a civilized and savage life) ** is not 30 great as may be imagined Happiness is more generally and equally diffused among savages than in our civilized societies.— No European who has once tasted •savage life can afterwards bear to jive in our societies. The care a id labour of providing for arti ficia! and fashionable wants—the sight of so many rich wallowing in superfluous plenty, whereby 30 many are kept poor and dis- j pressed by want—the insolence | of office—the snares and plagues : of law—-and the restraints of cus* I tom; all contribute to disgust them I with whav. we call civil society.” | ’ The correctness of the doctor’s j opinion may perhaps be disputed: ! we, however, give the observa- j tion as it was found, without ! comment, more as a matter of; curloshy than as an absolute trui- j sin.— N.it. Register. An Escape similar to that of\ Lav alette. When Cavades, king ; of Persia, was imprisoned by his subjects, in consequence of the odious use of his authority, the queen carried him whatever he j stood in need of, but without ob- j lairbng permission to see him.— j The officer, by whom he was i guarded, having Conceived a pas-1 ffion for her, gave her leave to j write to her husband. She then j requested that she might be allow- j ed to visit him ; but the jailer to | this favor attached certain condi-! sions. The queen informed her husband, who desired her to Hat ter a passion which might be of so much utility to them both. She at last obtained an interview, in which Cavades learned that a faithful friend, named Sesoses, had in readiness a body of guards, who as soon as he should make his escape, would accompany him wherever he might think proper. Inconsequence of this precaution The necessary measures being the queen dressed herself in the king's clothes, and* the latter escaped in the dress of a female. The queen remained a prisoner, and was treated rather with severity than clemency. London paprr ALiAiLNAtfTKAiOrt’S &ALii.
