torpor and hereditary power ?-—•
Look at the house of Medicis—at
the family of the Stuart’s—at the
late malchiers at Vienna, in the in
fignificant Charles VI.! This a
ione ought to be fufficient to cure
mankind of the mania of hereditary
rulers.

WORTH.
w Worth makes the man,”
Pope says; and every body
acknowledges the truth of the
sentiment; but then the ques
tion is, ; what makes worth ?
The moralist will tell you, “ it
r is virtue but the man of the
world says “it is money*’ And
indeed, in this age of reason
the latter definition seems al
most universally to prevail.—
When it is asked w much
a man is worth , the answer
generally has an exclusive re
fcrrence to. his property. If
he has wealth, the replier
„to the question says he is
1 worth so many dollars, but if
he be very poor, though he
possess the intelligence of a
Newton and the benevolence
of a Howard “ He is not worth
one cent Thus the worth of
a man like that of beef and
butter, is reckoned by dollars
and cents/’

London, August 1.
A Plymouth paper received yes
terday, speaking of Bonaparte, fays:
His curiosity on every point is un
bounded, and his versatility of ta
lent and powers of conversation on
all fubjeCts, whether trifling or im
portant, astonishing : such, in
deed, is his appetite for information,
that he often freely addresses she
seamen and marines. It is impossi
ble, we have learp t from good au
thority, to imagine the fafeinations
of Bonaparte’s address, and con
verfaiion, which compel involunta
ry esteem and attachment, and be
reave even those, moft inimical to
him in their hearts, of all hostile
feelings while they remained in his
presence. When he is walking a
lone, his hands are folded behind
him, and his countenance assumes
a pensive cast ; but when engaged
io difeourfe his face exhibits a smile
of the moft engaging description,
like a* gleam of sunshine on a dark
cloud, and his gestures are earnest
and impreflive. At his meals he
exercises, what is called in England
a good knife and fork, and rarely
speaks,; in the use of liquors he is
more abstemious. In a thorough
acquaintance with men and man
ners, he is furpaflfed by few, and
particularly, which will appear re
markable, in his knowledge of
England, and the principal charac
ters in it who have signalized tfiem
felves by their abilities, in various
departments. His marshals are
almost continually on deck, in full
uniform, in converse with their
master, or the ladies and children.
Madame Bertrand has been pecu
liarly ini|uifitive concerning his def- !
tination, and frequently hints that
the emperor is poor, having only a
million of francs, or 40,0001. to
boast of, while Talleyrand, former
ly his Minister, poflefles immense
wealth in all the funds of different
countries.
