[ We received the following letter by yes
terday's mail, from New-Or leans.]
FOR THE PUBLIC.
JMr. Smith,
I pronounce a letter imputed to
Gen. John Adair, and said to be ad
dressed to the Kentucky delegation in
ti. Congress, to be a vile and infamous fa
brication—and I am able to prove by
the testimony ,©f Ralston and Floyd,
two of Burr’s associates, that general
Adair left Nashville with Burr’s know
ledge and direction, and visited this ci
ty for the express purpose of co-oper
ating with the said Burr.
. Yew-Orleans, April 3, 1307.

second time with a British squadrtffi,
and burnt, rurt .'aground, and destroy
ed six of W.u*, different
sizes. , ,
There was a great scarcity of rice at
Madras. The government had offered
110 star pagodas the garce, if deliver

TO THE PUBLIC,
Particularly to the Merchants at Pitts
burg, and elsewhere.
Brothers— You-’ friends of the Se
neca Nation, belonging to Alleghany
River, speak to you. We hope you
will be attentive, and listen to our talk.
We understand that some of you are
in the practice of trusting our Indians
fbf goods, &c. Brothers, we have tak
en this matter into consideration, and
in order that the chain of friendship
may be kept bright between you and
us, we now earnestly entreat you not
to trust our Indians any more, as we
are determined to pay no debts con
tracted by individuals—and such as
have accounts against any of our tribe,
we request to pay early attention to re
cover them from those who have con
tracted the sebt. Brothers, when ap-.
plication is made to you in future for
trust, by any of pur people, we hope
you will then remember our talk, and
attend to our request, and we shall ev
er consider it as a mark of your friend
ship. W e request our talk may be ptit
on the great paper, that you may not
be deceived*

Extract from a discourse delivered by
the Reverend Dr. Smith, President of
Ptinceton College, sYew-Jersey, to the
Students.
“ A mistaken sentiment often pre
vails among young persons, which you
will do well to correct—that great in-
dustry is a murk of inferior talents;
and that idleness and dissipation are
characteristics cf native genius. 7'here
is, indeed, one kind of genius, I mean
that which consists chiefly in the live
liness of the invagination, that has not
unfrcquently bem connected witli dis
sipated manners. However genuis of
this kind may sometimes serve to en
lighten society, or to amuse our hours
of leisure, it is little fitted for business
or affairs, and it is utterly incompetent
to philosophic investigation. But that
genius, that consists in profound and
penetrating judgment, that is capable
to invent and improve science, and is
really useful to the world, is almost al
ways united with activity in business,
and persevering application to study.
By these qualities have the greatest
men in every age been distinguished.
Not to mention the Boyles, the Ntw
tons, and the Lockes of modern times,
nor .he Platoes and Antonies of anti
quity, let me recal to your mind only
Marcus Tullius Cicero, a name that
stands for genius itself, the greatest
orator, the greatest statesman, and the
greatest philosopher, that Rome ever
produced. A celebrated and accurate
writer of his life says, ( his industry
was incredible, beyond the example, or
even conception of our days.
the secret by which he performed won
ders, and reconciled.perpetual study
with perpetual affairs. He’ kiffcred no
part of bis leisure to be idle, or the
least interval of it to be unimproved ;
but.Avhiitjjiyier peofcde give to tlu»«pub
lic shows, to pleasures,.to feasts, nay,
even to sleep, and the ordinary refresh
ments of nature, lie generally gave to
his books, and the enlargement of his
, knowledge.’
4 “ Here is an example on which you
should be proud to form yourselves;
* an example that refutes the dull max
ims* of idleness and profligacy, and
points out the real road to greatness
and honor.
Men of the most extraordinary ta
lents, and who have rendered them
selves the most conspicuous, have been
often men of a small size of body, and
sometimes deformed. Witness Alcx
. ander, Horace, Eugene, Pope, Du
mourier, Hamilton, Bonaparte, &c.—
Washii>gl<JP» wits an exception, who
was as majestic is his port, as his fame
is eternal.* * * •

THE season of the |
Imported Horse WHIP, will continue !
until the twentieth of September next, i
under the terms heretofore published.
W HIP’S owners flatter themselves that
the extensive credit which is given to
those, who may be their encouragers,
will be an inducement to a liberal pat
ronage. Good accommodation for
mares.
WHIP’S performances in England
were unquestionably equal to any hor
ses sent abroad, which the racing cal
enders with him will sufficiently testify,
and the event of the late racing in Vir
ginia proves his Colts to be as promis
ing as any in that state; several on
the different turfs this last spring, have
run with exceeding cred.t, and have
■ won oh the New-market as great a
sweepstake as any heretofore contend
ed for, which by reference to the Vir
j cinia Argus will more fully appear.

TO THE PUBLIC.
FROM the follotvinc- afikhvit
o
of Mr. Armstrong, a respectable citizc n
of Columbia county, the public are ..Lila
to judge of the villany of mankind. —
Mr. Armstrong has been a customer of
ours; he came in search of our store,
and Mr. Cantelou, or his deputies, un
der the 'prospect of getting Mr. A’s.
ready cash, immediately assumed n*y
name, and told him, this is Hariixn &
Hamilton's Store. What depend nee
can be placed in such men ? They de
serve to be held up to public contempt,
and be exposed to the world, that men
may see how some acquire wealth, by
taking the advantage of their neighbors.
The fi Rowing statement I lay before the
public, as made by the deponent of his
own free will, and leave the public to
judge of the conduct of a fellow desir
ous of being considered, just, honest,
moral and pious.
For self and A. Harrison.

quired, “ where is Mr. Hamilton,” they*/
replied, “ He is not within at present,

then purchased many articles he want

lar, remarked, that he wished to see
Mr. Hamilton, as should his rH<#nty not

for a lew days ; the clerk to this replied,
