It is the extravagzince of fancy and iashionin our
cciuntry. which has contributed more to raise the
cry of ‘ Hard Times,’ than any other cause what-
ever. It is this which makes the amount of otir
imported clegziiicies and_luxui-ies greater than our
exported produce, and thus throws the balance of
trade into the hand of the foreign merchant :
hence the ruinous demand for Ispecifia and it Va"l'
ety of consequent evils. The truth is we are liv-
ing beyond our income, and the abundance of
private debts and the failures of private contracts
are evidence that the pride of fusliionable style is
often gratified at the expencc of convenience and
plig-Iited faith. But greater still at'e the evils
which in our (leparture from republican simplici-
ty, -we are entailing oti -posterity. To perceive
that that rfii-riiluacy which our forefathers so much
.desp'ised and guartlctl against, is beginning to find
indulgence. \\itli'ilicil‘ descendants, one need only
enter the asseiiililics of our citizens, OI‘ \‘»‘all< lbw’
our streets. it is too apparent not to be observa-
ble, by any one who has a tolerable acquaintance
with the history of men and t”uauner_~;, in that ser-
vile exactness of conformity to fasliion-—that ar-
tificial con.fot'matiuii of the body—"-that careful at-
tentioti to tlelicacy of the eouiplcxiuii. which are
seen. amnrtg us. ‘.’v'liert:\'et' you find an over-
anxious nicely, in these particulars, you invaria-
bly find a relaxation of both energy and principle,
and El concoinitaiit disposition to stipiiieness and
ltl:-ttiry._ lsimbs that are valued for their slender-
ness arid fairness, must be nourished at sumptu-
tzus tables, and reposed on beds of down. That
ignoble pride‘wliicli delights in dress and osten-
tatioil, is, in i=s own I1'.2iLll‘C, a straiiget‘ to stiL~'liine
and generous sentiments, and can never Siilllulitle‘
the subject of it to noble activity _in_thc cause of
philanthropy and patriotism. It is ill the indul-
gence, of this passion, uiiquesttoiiably, that we
take the first step in that road which Persia, and
Greece. and Rome, l.l"d\'Cllt.(l froui their greatness
drii-.'ii"to ruin.’ '
‘ That httgbear, Fashion, has erected itself into
a standard ‘of iminners and of merit among us, and
our respectability is retidered sertilely dc pendant
on they-mere form and quality of agarment. \Ve
importour very shapes from ..Europe, and pur-
chase them even at the expense of national char-
agter, VV ho would have told the men of '76 that,
before the grave should cover the venerable rem-
nautoftheir illustrious generation,Americashould
so far forget her independence as to come under
the dominion of the very tailors and mantauma-
kers of Paris and L.ondon ? ..
* I would censure nothing-, surely, which serves
to render man interesting to man; nothing, which
gives a manly grace to the dignity of the one sex,
or adds a singlecliarin to the loveliness of the
other. llut there may be danger of carrying our
rehiiemeiit too far. '
«E...» is it not very possible, that instead of that
noble negligence of manner which always char-
acterizes the greatnessof a Roman soul—tliat
easy aifability ever flowing from an ingenuous
heart, a mistaken notion of politeness may substi-
tute the preciseness of affectailion, and the little-
l1eSS't_)f unmeaning pr-att-le' ? I appeal to the ob-
jecttof our present meeting, whether the justness
of the remark be not supported by facts. Are
there not within the limits of your observation,
some young. men, whose feminine delicacy and
softness of manners almost ‘render it difiicult to
determine for which of the sexes nature designed
them ? C
» ‘.F7'C8;lI as a bridegroom, neat and trimly (lress’d,
- ‘/Iizdullfzcifrmuerl like a inilliner,’
with their * holiday and lady terms,’ one might
culltlietn lovely, even beyond their sex-—‘-a bur-
lesque upon manhood. Having neither the ac-'
cent of man, nor the gait of man, they have so
strutted and bowed, that you might have thought
with Hamlet, some of n'.iture's journeymen had
-' ted liumanity‘ so abominably.

‘ These aiil_madvci‘sions belong not all to our
own sex. VVhy is that pale and sickly delicacy
so frequenf in the other, if it be not the effect of
modern misnamed refiiiemeiit ? VVhy is the con-
cern of the affectionate m'otlier~ awakened lest the
deivs of evening should chill life’s feeble current,
and hurry the victim of her mistaken tenderness‘
to an early grave? Even the summer breeze
comes arrhed with terrors.
s '1‘he,~e was a time when the Spartan daugh-
ters of America, rose to breathe the freshness of
the morning, and, like the Roman Lucretia, were
not ashamed to be found at the distaff. The de-
lighted cottager saw them at twilight, gaily seated
on their fleet ‘horses, light hearted, and graceftil
as the plumes in thcirbonnets: and with joy the
proud father contemplated the blush of innocence
tliifttsing itself through the crimson vigour of
health. ' V
‘ But when I "consider the relative condition of
the sexes, and behold my own 'ivalling the otlier
in softness, I cannot avoid the conviction that the
evil is, in a great degree, chargeable to our ex-
ample. And is it not a perversion of that influ-
ence over the female sex, which nature gave‘ us
for nohler and better purposes ? Is it not such a
perversion, if to any thing, a degenerated poster-
ity will owe that imbecility of body and intellect
which they derive from their enfeebled mothers?
' "I had rather men were savages, and possess-
ed of all the enthusiasm of uncultivated nature,
than that they were divested of the mascu'li_ne
features of their original character : and when l
look abroad upon the vices and effeminacy of civ-
ilizatiou in the old world, and see the morals of
my own nation threatened with the same corrup-
tion, I am tempted to wish the iron hand of anti-
quity had been co-extensive with the existence of
the human race. Are we not departing from the
venerable simplicity of ou_r fathers ; and in that
tlcparture are we not losing the hardy virtues of
their cliaracter? Go spend an evening in the so-
ciety of the men of four score years :~—the hal-
lowed syrnpathies of age shall carry you back to
the morning of a robust generation whose manly
spirits sought enterpiise and danger with an em-
ulotis enthusiasm ; and despising delicate appa-
rel and soft accommodations, coveted toil and ab-
stinence as the only antidote to an eiifeebled con-
stitution. Active, frugal, and temperate, they
were hospitable and happy at their fire-sides, and
undaunted in the presence oftheir enemies.
‘But those days" went longesince by; an'd'it
needs not the gift of ‘prophecy, nor the wildness
of fanatacism, to fancy some unborn Cato lament-
ing the degeneracy ofthe noblest nation of the
eorth,and appealing to his thoughtless age wlietli-
er the indulgence ofa prodigal fancy were a mat-
ter ofgreater moment than the virtue and happi-
ness of future generations.’
The following short -extracts, are from the au-
tlior’s just reflections on the effects ofltixury :--.v
‘ The‘ history of all antiquity shows that the
prosperity of nations is inseparably connected
with their morals. It was the prevalence ofa vir-
tuous and rigorous simplicity of manners that
gave immortality to Thermopyl-J: and Marathon.
To that contempt for licentious wealth and luxu-
ry which gave no place for venality in her coun-
sellors and legates, and which fortified lierai-mics
against cffeiiiinacy and iiistiborditiationf Rome
owed her unparalleled elevation. She called her
illustrious commanders from the plough to the
tield, scarcely less conspicuous in the labours of
industry than in the achievmt-ms of victory.
‘ Need I remind you of the tneti to wliom our
own country is indebted-for its fteedoni and pros-
petity? The plainiiess of their manners and the
sternness of their virtue, did well become the
cause for which they girded on the sword.
‘But the (lt‘.])l‘a\‘d!.l0ll of her morals hastened
the downfall of Sparta :— Rome stink in the mass
of her own corruption, an easy prey to the hardy
sons of the North :.—.-and helm.-ii fmbid that A-
merica, should ‘at some future period invite the
Goths and Vandals from the northern shores of
the Pacific to overrun /zcr territories with rapine
and desolation. _
* No, fellow students, if ever America shall be
subjugated, it must first be by her own degenera-
cy ; antlpardon me for believing that under the
mask of refinement that degencracyhas already
commenced. ‘
* The question is, therefore, whether by our
example-afitl influence, we will help tear away
the flood gates of an overwhelmiisg torrent ; or,
so far as our united efforts can avail, help to bar
it out forever.’

The Queen ofEnglan.d.—Previotis to the arrival
of the Queen in England, she was met by,Lord
fglutcliin-son,wlio was appointed on the part ofthe
government, to negociate a settlement ofthe clif-
ferences between the King and his Queen. The
proposals made to her Majesty, were——That
50,0001. per annum should he settled on her for
life, subject to such conditions as the King may
impose; that she is not to assume the title of
Queen of England, or any title attached to the
royal family of England; and that she is not to
reside in any part of the United Kingdom, or even
to visit England. The Queen was also given to
understand, that should she set her foot oti the
British shore, there would be an end to all com-
promise and tiegociation, and thatthe govern-
mcnt would immediately proceed against her. ._
To these ‘proposals, her Majesty expressed the
utmost indignation, and said--‘ My determination
is soon formed ; I shall set ottt immediately for
Erigland--it is in London, atid in London alone.
that 1 shall consent to receive any proposals of
the King of England.’
/7 tiui-I 14/1072 Royll-’ty--—A curious discovery has
been made since it was determined to remodel
the crown of the British king. Several of the
large gems, (it is not stated how many) turn out
to be paste. It is supposed that this fraud.’ was
committed as far back as the time of Charles II.
It appears from Chaptal, that the French in
1’l89, imported cotton goods to the amount of
26,000,000 francs; iii l8l2 to- the amount only
,5D0,000. They now import none.

gtishfip pe ‘V is the prpceedingsof the Cor-
, of Claims. This Co"iirt, sifys the
ally ’Advert_iser,_ consists of the high
7 _ T-bitetvaiidsii of England, ’who sit judicially in the
;white hall of the lling’s palace, to receive the pe-
- titions of persons, who by the tenures of their re-
spective estates, are bound to perform services of
dili"eretit kind's.at the coronation. These servi-
ces being the condition of the enjoyment of the
estates, the claim-"of the service.is equivalent to a
claim of the continuance of the estates, by appear-
ing to fulfil the conditions on which they granted.
The grants of this kind being of very ancient
date, many of the services have at the present
day a ludicrous air, but they serve to add to the
pomp, and in the eyes of the present generation,
g: the novelty of the coronation ceremony.
’ The following is the accountoftlie proceedirigs
of this Court, on the 2d of June, copied from the
London Traveller, received at the office: of the
Commercial Advertiser.

person of ‘Williani Reader, Esq. into ‘Westmin-
ster-hall, in a full suit of armor, on a charger,

fore the kiiig at dinner, and say, i If any person,
whether he be high. or_ whether he be low, deny
that George the Fourth is the‘ rightful King of
England, I, as the King's (Jhainpion, am ready
to prove him a false traitor.’ ‘The Champion
shall then throw down his gauntlet, and if nobody
do dci-iy that George the Fourth is the i'iglitful
King, the Champion shall drink out of a golden
cup to the King, and when he has drunk his Ma-
jesty's health, shall take away the cup, and the
cliarger, and the armor, as his fees.

The Queen of England is 53 years of'age.-—-‘
The King in the papers laid before Parliament,
charges her with having committed adultery in
Italy; but on the supposition that she is guilty,
(the crime having been committetl with a foiei'gn-
er in ti fore.-ign country) Lord Liverpool; who is
a friend ofthe king patty, declared that it did-not
amount to high treason. Parliament could there-
fore, only examine facts and act legislatively in‘
the case~-liavitig no judicial C0g[l‘ilZ'.tnCes * Lord”

gainst such l‘Cft:l'€l’ICes' \\''hat a stir they make
about a man and his wife; in this country they
would put them both in Bridewell.
There was a warm’ debate in the house ofCom-
rnons on the 12th June in respect to the difficul-
ties ahout the Queen. From the stand which
Lord Castlereagli and other favorites of George '
4th took, it is probable that she will he voted
down---the secret committee had been appointed
on the documents sent to Parliament by the King...
touching the character of the Queen. They had.‘
put off their sitting a day or two.» The people
are evidently on the side of the "Queen. The
Queen has her advisers. Her friends-appear to
have formed a well concerted plan, in bringing
her into the country previous to the coronation-of
the King. She refuses disgraceful propositions
from ntinisters‘——demands, the rights belonging
to the Queen of England. A few weeks will give
us the resultof this affair. VVe hope it may pro-
duce important events, not unfavorable to the peo-
ple of that country. ~

tain, that thc affair of the Queen will not be dis-
cussed thisiiight in the House of Commons. If
the preparatory movements occupy so much time
how long a space will be consumed in the investi-

_must be content, to gather from report what oc-
