THO’ the Roses may boast of their bright vennil hue; When array’d in the gems of the morn ; Yet the R <se tho' bedeck’d in the luctdess dew, Contains in its bosom a thorn. Eut in thy gentle brcatt, placid peace shall repose, Nor the sharp thorn of care ne’er invade ; As lively, as lovely, as bright as the Rose, tut not in such armor array YL fi. The following letter is copied from the last number of the Medical Repos itory of Nevv-York. for February, March and April. It gives u» pleasure to see that the* sages of France are doing jus tice to the illustrious Jefferson, and that his eye is ever fixed upon the advance ment of the science*. The Federalists who some months since attempted to Sneer at him for making this coutiibu tion to the national institute, and to twist it into a new evidence of his love for France herself, gave only a proof of their own censorious disposition. They seemed to have forgotten the sublime truth, that science knows no country— that the race of s igen is co-extensive with civilized society—that every man ofg nius is a member of this illustrious brotherhood—its interest he is bound to advance—that mind owns no distinc tion of artificial circles of the earth— and that the same philtmirophy which Jed the court of Versailles to respect and convoy the voyages of Cork, in the midst of a war with Grcat-Britain—has led our countrymen to send a curiosity, which we have to those who want it. They forget besides.. that he was a member of the institute of Fi ance, and that the same objections would not have been made to this act, if he had not be< n a fellow of the Royal Society of London.— Richmond Enquirer . Th anslation Os the count tie Incept de's letter to D. B. Warden , t Jfc. concerning the Fossil Bones, presented to the National Insti tute by the President of the United States , dated Paris, Isf. September, 1801. Sir — l hastened to communicate to the institute, in their sitting of Monday last, the letter which Mr. Jefferson was plealted to address, and which you had the complaisance to deliver to me. The institute, penetrated with grati tude for his new mark of interest, which its illustrious member has - manifested, Ins resolved that an expression of th mks shall b« solemnly addressed to him by its p'oper oflv ers. Ii has also engaged me to testify to \ir. Jefferson the value it attaches to his attention. The institute has decided, that the fos sil bones and other objects of natural history. Which Mr. Jefferson has had the goodness to put at its disposal, shall be placed in the museum of natural his tory ; the Only place where the public can conveniently and usefully examine this fine present of Mr. Ji ffvrson. In consequt lice of this decision of the institute, 1 shall immediately make known to my colleagues of the museum, what you have communicated T 8 me, sir, concerning the arrival of these bones ; and as they came by the river, from Havre, and are, by their nature, susceptible of being injured, perhaps you may think proper to debark them at the bridge of Austerliz, at the north ern Rate of the garden of plants, across which these precious objects can be ea sily transported to the apartment des tined for their reception. Accept, sir, the new assurance of all the sentiments you merit, as also the re ncwal of my thanks for all that you have been pleased to communicate to Die. I have the honor to salute you, Count de Lacjepeds. Monsieur Harden, Secretary cj the American Legation. P* S. I shall have the honor of sen ding to you, according to your permis sion, my answer to your illustrious President. A siorv is at present in circulation which contributes greatly to amuse the Ladies and Gentlemen of the haut ton. After the late investigation in the House oi Commons a certain illustrious Per sonage was having a conversation with the Licit under his protection, on the subject of withdrawing the bond by which she holds her annuity, and of al lowing her the sum in another way— whereupon the Lady tore off the bot tom of a play-bill, which happened to lie* on ht*r table, and presented it to her cher ami, who, on perusing the scrap, found it to contain the following lacon ic sentence—•• No money to be return ed after the curtain is drawn up." t London Paper.
