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. Richmond Compiler. TRIENQ $ MONITOR.

The following gentlemen were elected on Monday last, in this county, to Serve in the* next Legislature of this state. M, Talbot, Senator. - Alexander Pope, f Col. Johnson Welborn, Thomas Wingfield, Representatives. 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/’ FOREIGN NEWS. ’ -=OOO-i Liverpool, August 4.

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. august 2.

A private letter from Turin con firms the arrest of Lucien Bona parte in that city.
