'They circalated piper money to their dependents and commercial friends about them, till it was refuled ; and like ago- nies in ex:remity, rather than effirts, all the inhabitants have been obliged to deliver in their plate, even totheir fwords and fhoe buckles, in order to be coined into ru- pees, and every man’ who owns a hoafe is obliged to lay down half its value, or it is fold at public 2u&icn in - order to pay their troops who are very mutinous. The Bifhop of Caltellan has taken from the Jefuits the power of preaching and confefling in the Monafliies of yousg women ; and even forbid them to come near them. From a late MacazINE. I prefume it is very plain, that France cannot, in many years recover the loffes fhe has foftsined in the prefent war ; the effe&ts of the 1aft were pretty feverely felt, even at the beginning of the prefent, though her cafe was infinitely better at the peace of Aix la Chapelle, than it isnow. Perbaps fhe was never reduced to fo abjett a ftate fince fhe became a nation ; nor ever knew fuch humbling circumftances ; and, in all probability, it the French refule t6 liften to 2n accommodation, which has been [o generoufly offered them ; their con- dition will; next year, be much worfethan it is at prefent. The ifland of Martinico will. undoubtedly fall into our haads, ifa Iquadron be fent to the Weft Indies for that purpofe. Indeed, if we may believe the accounts from thatifland, the inhabitants envy their n2ighhpurs of Guadalupe, the advantageous terms (hey have procured by capitulation, snd would not be +difpleafed if they were admitted to partake of the fame favour., ~ But befides Martinico,snd fome other fettlements in the iflands, they have one on the continent, of too great a value to be difregarded ; I mean, their colony on the Mihiflippi. That country which is called Louifizna, by ics vaft ex‘entend the fertility of its foil, greatly ex- cezdsin value all the late conquelts we have made in North America, and may be pat on a much better footing than Cinada. As it is fituated in a very mild climate, fit for producing & great variety of the conve- niences as well as the neceflaries of life, it may in pro cefs of ti 1e make the French of too much importance ip America, if they are fuffered to remain in pofieflion of it. - The great siver of St. Louis that watess it, is na- vigable for goo leagues from the {ea; the natives have always known it by the name of Mea(t Chaflippi, which fignifies Grand Father of all the Rivers ; but the Freach naturally cavelefs in pronounciag fureign mames, clipt it to Mithffippi. ; This fine country might be esfily conquered ; for, as vie arz already - mafters of the river St. Lawrence, we need only to get poflcflion of the country. st the mouth of the Mifliflippi ; after which there will be no reafon to be unealy slout what sumbers of the French may re- main in the inland parts of North America’; for, as they would be deprived of all communication with Old Frince, i fuch a preje@ fhould take place, they would gradually lofz all thoughts of their mother country, and either dwindle awav, or mix with gur colonies, aud fubinit to the Britith government, Ly Leomymd Loy ) Ly i) Loy Ly (o) RuLes and Maxiwms for promstisg MATRIMONIAL Harpiness, Addreflid ta all the Widews, Wives, and Spinflirs, in Old and' New England. 3 ’1*HE likelieft way, ei:her to obtain & good hufband, or keep one fo, is to be good yourfelf, Never ufe a lover ill whom, you defign to make your hufbind, left he thould either apbraid you with it, or veturn it, afterwards ; and, if you find at any time an inclination to play the tyrant, remember thefe two lines of truth and juflice : : : Gently [ballthofe be rul'd whe gently fway'd ;. Abjeét fball thofe obey who baughty were obey'd. Battle of the Sexes. Avoid, both before and after marriage, all thoughts of managing your hufband. Never endeavour to de- ceive or impefe on his underftandiog ; nor give him uneafinefs, (8s fome do very foolifhly ) to try histem per ; but treat-him always, beforehand, with fincerity. and afterwards, wich-affe€tion and refpet. Be not over fanguine before marriage, nor promife yourfelf felicity without alloy 5 for that’s impoflible to be aitained in this prefent flate of things., Corfider, be- forehand, that the perfon you are going to fpsnd your “days with isa man, and not an angel ; and if, when you come tagether, you difcoverany thing in-his humour or behaviaur that is not altogether fo agreeable s you ex- pe&, pafsitoverasa human frailty ; fmoothyour brow ; compole your temper ; and try to amend it by chear- fulnefs and good nature. / Remember always, that, whatever misfortunes may hippen to either, they are not to be charged to the ac- count of matrimony, but tothe accidents and infi:mities of human life,—a burthen which each has engaged to aflilt the other in fupporting, and to which both parties are equally evpofed : Therefore, inftead of mur- murs, relle&ions, and difagreement, whereby the weight is rendered abundantly more grievous, readily put'your fhoulder to the yoke, and make it eafier to both. Relolve,every morning, to be goodnatured and chear- ful that day ; and, ifany accident fhould happen to break that refolution, (uffer it not to put you out of tem- per with evéry thing befides,—and efpscially with your hufband. Difpute not with him, be the occafion what it will ; but much rather deny yourfelf the trivial fatisfaction of - having your own will, or gaining the better of an ar- . 4 .‘ 5 L e, [ R A e v gument, than rilque 2 quarrel, or create a heart burn- ing, which it is impoflisle to know the end of. Be aflused, a woman’s power, as well as-happinele, has n> otherfoundatign bat her hufband’s efteem and love, which, confequently, it is her undoubted interelt, by ail means pcflible;to preferve and increale.— Do you, therefore; ftudy his temper, and commsnd your own ; enjoy his fatisfation with him,fhare and {oothe his cares, and with the utmoft dilizence conceal his infirmiies. Read frequently, with due steention, the Matrimonial fervice ; and take care, in doing fo, not to overlook the ‘word Obey. In your prayers be fure to add a clan’ for grace to make a .good wife; and at the fame time 1eloive to do your utmoft endeavours towards it. Always wear your wedding ring; for therein lies more virtue then is ufusily imagined. If you are ruffl- ed unawares, affaulted with improper thoughts,or tempt- ed in any kind againit your duty, caft your eyes upon it, and call to mind who gave it you, where it was re- ceived, and what paffed at that folemn time. Let the tendernels of your conjugal love be expreffed with fuch decency, delicacy, and prudence, ss thst it may appear plainly, and thoroughly diftin& from the defigning fondrefs of a harlot. Have you any concera for your own eafe, or for your hufband’s efteem ? then heve a due regard to his income and circumitances in all your expences and defires ; for, i’ neceflity fhould follow, you run the greateft hazard of being deprived of both. Let not many days pafs together without a ferious ‘txamination how you have behaved as a wife ; and if, upon rel'e&ion, you find yourfelt guilty of any foibles or omiffions, the beft atonement is tobe exadly careful of your future conduét. ;{.The foregoing fhould be read at leaft once 8 month, to prevent transgrefling ;—and oftener, if memory fails. ] PHILADREPHIEA: D i By a Gentleman from Quebec, which he left the Firft Day of laft Month, we have the Pleafure of hear- ing that General Murray, and the Garrifon there, are in perfe@ Health, and have Plenty of every Thing : And that the Canadians feem well fatisfied wich ‘their late Change of Govcrnment.

The Prize Mafter and three more were Spaniards, the other a Frenchman. The Spaniards form’d a Scheme b run away with the Veflel, and carry ber to Barracoa, at the Eaf of Cuba, on the North Side ; which Stheme they commu- micated to the Mate, who afted as Pilot. and promifed him the Veffel, and Money to ballaft ber to Philadelphia. On the 13th of September, they came in Sight of Hifpaniola, wobere the Spaniards took Charge of ‘the Veffel, told the JMate they bad no more Bufinefs for him, be might goto Seep, they were then Pilots themfelves. The Afternom before, upan fome flight Occalion, they fab’d the Bay but it did not prove mortal. they bad aifs besten and abufed the Frenchman. He then propofed to the Mate and Boy, to Join in retaking the Veflel from the Spaniards, which-they agreed to, and that Night carried their Defign into Exe- cution, by furprizing and deflroying the four Spaniards ; they then faited to the Northeward, intending for Provi- dence, or the firft Port they could make, but on the 14th at Night run upon the Rocks aforefaid, (being not notedin the Draughts of thofe Seas) they with Dificalty got afbore in their Boat, where they remained "till Captain Living- Son took them off on the 161h.

By a veflel arrived at Salem laft week from the Welt Indies, we learn by a letter from thence, that the En- glifh fleet cruizing off Cape Francois, had lstely fellia with and taken 5 French Frigates and 1o or 12 mer- tmen under theie convoy, deep laden w Ty " indigo, coife, &c. and cariied them to Jamaics. —Ano- ther letter [1ys, vnly three frigle: and the ‘marchant- men were taken, tne other two being fusk.
