In the United 8tat?s the grcfti body of (lie peo
ple nre cultivators of the ground ? 'all the other
citizens bear but n very oiunll proportion in utiut*
bet- to these. This too will prpbaolv be the atate
of thinga for ninny ages to come j for the cheap,
new and inexhaustible plentiness of luntl and
the consequent deariu'ss of labor* will in nil like*
lihood. prevent Tor a long lime the extensive e
stablishmeut of manufactures, The inhabitants
of the eastern and mitltlle states generally culti
vate their own land, and are lords of the soil ;
nnil no circumstance can be more favorable to
the support of freedom ami independence. J.
dleness, with it* train of destructive vices, can
never contaminate this body of men, generally }
extravagance and -dissipation can never poison
the great mass of them. Home farmers will btf
idle, extr; znnt uud dissipated, but these will bear
u very small proportion to thr. whole number. In
the common course of things there will always
be among them tenfold more industry than idle
ness, tenfold more instances of saving econoinv
than of waste and tuinous extravagance.
The tluilv occupations of farmers give them n
peculiar hardiness of body, ami mind, and ren
der them more capable than others of sustaining
the fatigues and braving the danger* of warfare^
Hclng owner* of the soil, they have much more
interest at stake in time of invasion, than those
whose property is moveable, ami can be easily
transported from one country to another. At
thy same time the) are led by their interest to
wish for peace wiili all foreign nntions, and for
nuietocssand order at home. ' It can never be for
their interest to leave their farms and turn sol
diers, unless imperious necessity should call ;
and it would be equally contrary to their'incliua
tious. . Therefore, they would* !>e unwilling to
engage in any but a necessary war % and in such
a w nr. a war of invasion on the part of the ene
my, they would not fail to bear a hand, they
would be the lirst to engage ami the last to yield*
For these reasons, together with others that are
obvious, the farmers are the great bulwark of the
country $ and if our national independence and
republican institutions fchould be preserved and
perpetuated (and God grant they may be !) it
would be principally by means of the substantial
yeomanry, a body of men the most incorruptible,
the most brave aiid hardy, the urnst attached to
their country, and infinitely the most numerous.
Our farmers at the present day have advan
tages much superior to those enjoyed ill preced
ing ages, tii-eat improvements have beon made
in agriculture, and these improvement* arc still
progressing. Great imprnvtmontshave .also been
made iu roads \ no thnt it *ja much -easier carry
ing produce to market than it woaformerljA
Public worship and village school* are attended
with more ease, social Intercourse is promoted,
(Hid friends ant) neighbours are brought, a* ll

better roads, tlto travel of 10 tnila# ]a as easy
now aa that of 5 miles was formerly* it la in ef
fect the aatne as if the local distance were shor
tened in thin proportion* ' -
Aa ** agriculture liaa been ranked, among the
niost useful and honorable employments by every
civili/.ed nation,1' and has been encouraged by
every wise government ; so it ordinarily affords
a greater share of contentment and happiness
than, nerhapx, any other calling of life. As it is
favorable to morals, so is it also favorable to
health ami strength of body. Kfcercise in tl*?
open air gives an appetite and makes food deli
cious ? 'I he labouring forme? |?as more pleasure
in food, as well as more enjoyibent from sleep,
than any idle epienre ever yet tasted, lie in
hales from his (Velds pleasant, salubrious ami in
vigorating perfumes. Itis eyes ate delighted
while beholding his flocks and herds, ami the
progressive grow th of his plants and vegetables.
When he has rendered a barren soil fertile* by
industry and skill, or when lie has made a por
tion of wilderness M blossom like the rrise, lie
rejoices in the works of his hands t his heart is
cheered with an innocent ami rational satisfac
tion.
Industrious, thriving farmers ore more iudc
pendent than almost any other men. The nier*
chant lies at the mercy of the winds ami waves,
the trader depends upon his customers, the law
yer upon his clients, tl>c physician and tnechuuir
?in their employers, lint the substantial farmer
can supply ino-t of l?i*. real wants from his Innd j
ottd whilst lie is let* dependent upon men than
ithois are. his circ u instances of life lead him t?i
feel an immediate dependence on that lieinji

a fair cl^mce of rivalling in popularity the com*

they often reminded us. Tho failure to which
we allude, isjjno that rejtpoct* taste and judg*

of every thing characteristic of the scope am!

In this, ami the greater part of these compo

the author, of the Corsair | there is neither depth
'of feeling, nor vigour of expression, nor play of
fancy to redeem tlicm from the condemnation to
which, on tlie score of taste, putting aside all re

The following illustrative particular* of Gene
ral Porlier, the first Spaniard who has ventured
to raise the Standard of Liberty, in favour of his
oppressed country, will lie reed with interest:?
Ills Excellency Don Juan Dia/. Porlier is about
30 year* of age, small in person, thin but of hand
Mine appearance. lie Is nephew of (lie late min
uter Porlier, marquis do lloxamac. lie served
a* midshipman in. the battlu of Trafalgar. He
Hint became known in Ute lato war against tlie
troops of Ikmapartc, by collecting a handful of
dcscrtcra from the actions in Castile under Oo
ueral Cuesta, With whidi, Only amounting to 30
meu,he attacked 50 French advantageously post
ed near the city' 'of Palencia, whom lie killed op
took, and presented to the junta of Asturias. The
hitter then gav? him the rank of colonel, and he
immediately forced a.Gueril la corps. called Cuer
po prnncOf wit^ 'which ho did prodigies of vator a
y ninst the enemy. This c<trps after 'wards became a
respectable division, What gave him most credit,
in the tiiiie of the provincial juntas, was his retreat
from St. Amlero, surrou titled by four ting** his
nui?mr ehemierf, from wlifcnt-lie escaped, and
9V011 took some of tho French. Thin action cover
ed Porlier with glory, 'and ltalla*tero? with shame,

lier are contniimd In the. public mpor^af ?!.?? ?iu? .
He was lately iffade ft MnioMJeneral. and Ins
character is tank and noble.' He is also a man
of great energy and readiness, ns ij* proved by
what happened between him and the msrchioncM
of Matarosa, to whose daughter ho is now mar
ried. Tho marchioness wa* proud aud haughty,
and before she consented *0 the marrjtage of her
itnughter^ she required Porlier to exhibit hi* ti
tles of nobility. To the person ?ont to wait on
him with thin refluent, Porlier answered, " tell
the marchioness tor me. that my name is Juan
Dia/. Porlier, aud i reouiro'to know whether her
daughter is to be married to me or my parch

quently is brother to count Toronto, who, before
Ilia father died, waa called count de Mataioso,
anil one of the deputies from the province of
AiiKfurias, that came over to F.ngland in search
of aid, when the Spanish revolution broke out.
Porlier is of Cananan origin, and by his tnti-i
age acquired the title of marquis de Matarosa,
in the right of his wife. H^ was arrested by
Ferdinand, in consequence ol the director of
tho post-oHlce intercepting a letter, ha was wri

him orders to sunply money in n Spanish patriot,

system of Ferdinand, adding, ** premla aurdo

When far. West was painting Ids " Death of

for whom Mr. West had befure painted Ids A

was so greatly strucn with the boldness of inno
vation wideb dressed an heroic action in modern
attire, that after some questions and expressions
of doubt as to its success, he went lor Sir Joshua
Ifeynolds, snd in less tluin an Imur, they; Were
both in Mr* West'# painting roofn. When sir
Joshua came in, he expressed the greatest alarm
for Mr. West's reputation, w arned him Of tho
hazardous nature of Ida attempt, and told him
tho people of England would never be reconcil
ed ito heroes in coata and waistcoats. However,
Mr. West said that he would send for tilt arch
bishop and air Joshua when tho picture was com
pleted, and if they condemned it then, i$ should
go into the closet ) but that he had determined to
Venture on a picture, that would speak to tho
meanest lnteliects,iMf order to show aotwe illiber
al critics, who had before nccused Idm of plavalr
ism front old basso relievos, that ho could paint
from himself. When the picturc was Completed,
Mr. West brought his friends to view itvacconl
Ingto his engagement t sir Joshua stood silent
before it about a quarter of an hour, anil then
very liberally told Mr* W. that tho pictfenjwould
not only succeed, biitopen a newiera i&'palnting.

would inevitably be Oarrick, and not Wolfe.
Mr. West haw Always expressed himself thank
All tlity nis studies in pointing were unknown
and unregarded as they were, for by that mean*
he went to them without any of those piejodiro*
which schools impart. When he went to Italy,
