Mr. Swinburnedoubts whether fhe wouid not nine times out of ten prefer a present to a lover ; yet I apprehend challity is not the characW rdlic virtue of this place more than it is of any other populous metropolis; tint furious jealousy for which the nation was so "remarkable some generations ago, is almoil eradiated ; the breach f the conjugal vow sometimes occa-

a'e of Hone, flat rooled arid generally lolty and uniform; but many of them have balconies, w ith lattit e-windows. The flreets are well paved; but they arc not lighted at nigh , and in i he diylime ae obfigured, in many places, l-y (tails, on which provifions areexpostd to sale. Here are a great number oi fine churches, convents, fountains, and palaces of the nobility, many of whom conUantly relide here. It is usual to walk on the tops of the houses in the evenings, to breath the sweet cool air, alter a hot sultry diy. The climate here is so mild and warm, even in tht winter, that plenty of green pease, ar tich kes, aspragus, and other vr getables, may be had so eiily as the beginning oi tUe new y:.r, Mud even all the vwier. The fortress "f .St. I'll mo is bunt on a mountain of the same name, and has the entire command of the t wn Lower do wn on the same mcu.n aiu. in a delightful lituation, is a convent of Carthulijns. on which much experice has been lavjfhc-d, to render he building and the gardens cq ial to the lituation. Naples is admirably situate for commerce, and has all the ne cefiaries and luxuries of life in great prohifion ; but trade is in a languilhing condition. Pictures, itatues, and anti quities. are not so common in Naples

as might be expected in so great and

people of an inferior (latton,

but the

c.tse is rare. And rivalry between lovers

is more in quendy productive of such scenes. Of these vices many arc doubtless owing to the llavery and op. predion under which they groan, and i-j a radical defedt m lb- adniinillatioii ofjdiliCC.

lousnessol thc'place, many of its flreets

are more crowded than thor.e of London and a great proportion of the pyorefi sort are obliged to spend the night in them for want of habitations, There is not a city in the world, per haps, with the same number of inhabitants! in which so lew contribute to the wealth of the community, by uscf d and productive labor, as Naples; fr the number of prieils, monks, fid dlers, lawyers, nobility, foot uk u, and bzzaroni, or vagabonds, surpall'j ail reasonable proportion; and the Utt a lone are computed at above 30,000.

Tfiegreater part of lh?se. wretc'ies have

no dwelling-houses, but sleep every night under porticos, piazz s, or any kind of shelter they can fi.vJ. Tlioje of them who hae wive9 and children, live in the suburbs of Naples near Peusiiippo, in huts, cr in caverns or chambers dug out of that mountain. They are generally repi f .ented as a lazy, licentious, anil turbulent set of people, as inched by far the greater part of the rabble are, who prefer begging or robbing, or running rrands, to any fixed and permanent employment. Yet there are in Naples some nourishing manufactures, pirnSUlarly of silk ItockingS, snap. Snuff, boxes or tortoise shells, and tlie lava jf Mount Vesuvius, tables, audorin. mental furniture of marble- Th - city is supplied with a vail fpjjutity of water, by means ol a very coitly .iquedict hoax the fjot ofMutit Vc-u-

T,e king, it is said, counts a hundred per&ons w ith the title of prince, and Hill a greater number with that of duke, among his sul jeits. A few of these have efiates from 10 to 1 3,000. a year ; a cor. fid able number have fortunes of idjout half that ".mount; and the annual revenue of many is under 2000-'- The inferior ciders of in bility are much poorer; nan counts and marquises

not hav'mp 400'. a year paternal ellate;

m my II ill less; and not a few c joy the

title without Hny ellate whatever. Although the churches ai d convents of Naples are no' to be compared with those at Home in point etf architecture, they surpass them in rich jewels, and in the quantity of lilver anil p old crucifixes, vcfr. 1 and rthcr moments. ()t all the palaces, that of the king is not only the moff magnificent, but also in ihe bell flyle of archiicClure. The cathtdr.d thongh Gothic is a veiy splendid fdirice. Here are kept the h'-ad and bio d of St. Jantiarius, the tutelary saint of Naples ; the latter in too glass or cryllal vials. The pretended liriuef.iChon of tl e dry bled, as soon as brought near the head of the saint, is well known; and Mr. Addison says, it is one of the mod bungling tricks he ever saw- The harlx ur, which is spacious, is kept in good repair. It is piottc'cd by a mole, two calllep, and sevt ral batteries, but these could not protect ti e city from a bomiajc!n.erl. The mole runs above a qiuirltr cf a mi'e into ihe sia. aid at the extremity has a h'gh lantern to di. r(6) fliips safely into the ha-bnur. Nj pies is 110 miles S-K. of Home, 21 S- S.

THK SHAMROCK. The Shamrock is said to be worn by the Irish, upon the Anniversary of St. Patrick, for the following reason: When he preached the Gospel to the Pagan Irish, he illuftrated the Doclrina of the Trinity by showing them a Trefoil, or three leav'd grass, with one flalkt which operating to their conviction, the Shamrock, which is a bundle of this prass. was ever afterwards w orrt

upon this Saint's Anniver&aiy, to com memorate the event. A fine woman of pleasure, is the pink offathion, the mirror of vanity, and the vortex of mischief She has a Syren's voice, a crocodile's tears, and a peacock's pride. Like a sun-benm in the clouds, she is gsy, fickle, and delufive common as the air, incnnLhnt" as the wind, and consuming as fuc She is like a poisonous variegated flower, raised in a hot Ik d and graded on a rose-bud. Th' km oiii as oil to the mouth, she is hellebore 10 the brain, and arsenic to the b aveh. Like the

spider, she extends her net and tAea the unwary. She resembles a light pointed higate, with rotton bottom, without helm or baila'.t, colors Hrc3ming, and under full sail to dtlb uction. At Cok in Ireland the number of Apothecaries lias remained the same for fony years; while the corps of lawyers and aftomies has received an accession of forty nine 10 i.ix years a. proof that the inhabit Ms uf that city are more diseased in ;n'-d th in body.
