If is doubted whether the following document, furnished to us by a correspondent in the East, has e.ver found a place in history or even a general circulation at the time of its promulgation. l! is, however undoubtedly authentic, and is at this day a political curiosity, in which light it is offered to our readers, who will not fail to recollect that, on the 17th of October, in the same year, the proud spirit which dictated this proclamation of the 23d -June, 1777, was humbled to the surrender of the whole army at Saratoga. Actional Intelliisencer. 3 By John Burgoyne, Esq. &c. &c. Lieu tenant G aera! of his Majesty's armies in, America, Col. of the Queens regi m-Mit of Lig'it Dragoons, Governor of Fort William, in North Britain, one of the Representatives of the Commons of Great Britain in Parliament, and commanding an army and fleet in an expedition from Canada, Sec. &c. &c. The forces entrusted to my command are designed to act in concert and upon a common principle with the numerous armies and ileets which already display in every part of America, the power, the justice, and, when properly sought, the mercy of the King. The cause in which the British armies are thus exerted ap plies to the most affecting interest of the human heart ; and the military servants of the crown, at first called forth for the sole purpose of restoring the rights of the constitution, now combine with the love of their country and duty to their Sovereign, the other extensive excite m cm Is which spring from a due sense of the general privileges of mankind. To the eyes and ears of the temperate part of the public, and to the breasts of suffering thousands in the provinces, be the melancholy appeal, whether the present unnatural rebellion has not. been made the foundation for the completes! system of t yranny that ever Gad in his displeas ure suffered, for a time to be exercised over a fro ward and stubborn generation? Arbitrary imprisonments, confiscations of property, persecution and torture unprecedented in the I iquisition of the Karrnsh Church, are among the palpable enormities which verify the affirmative. m Tnere are inflicted by assemblies and committees who dare to profess them solves friends of liberty upon the most quiet subjects, without distinction of age or sex, for t lie sole crime, often for the sole suspicion, of having ldhered in prin ciple to the Government under which they were born, and to which, by every tie, Divine and human, they owe allegiance. To consummate these shocking proceedings, the profanation of religion is added to the most profligate prostitution of common reason. The consciences of men are set at naught, and multitudes are compelled, not only to bear arms, but also to swear subjection to an usurpation they abhor. Animated by these considerations, at

JOHN BURGOVNE. Camp at the River, ) June, 23d, 1777. $ 1 The above was copied by Bailey Siettson, on the frontiers of Vermont, from the original proclamation, immediately after it was issued and given b him to an acquaintance, who preserved i to this day. The name and character of the latter, who isyet living, are known to ue, and entitle the document to full credit. E d i t o r s I n t f. l l i g e x c e r . Rate of lVages, and the condition of the Laboring Classes. We have often heard it maintained, says Mr. M'Culloch, by ill informed persons, and it has been contended by Dr. Franklin and other philosophers, of whose benevolence and zeal in the cause of humanity no doubt can be entertained, thai high vages,instead of encouraging industry, become a fruitful source of idleness and dissipation; and it is a common complaint, that if the poor can raise as much in three or four days as will support them during the week, they will absent themselves for the remainder of it from their employment. Mr. M'Cul loch has met these arguments, founded on a very narrow and partial basis, of induction with others derived from the more extended experience which the lights of modern science have brought into view. "Nofhing,"' says he, "can be more marvellously incorrect than these representations more completely at variance with principle and experience. It is most true, indeed that in everv country and situation in life, individuals will be found who are careless of the future, and intent only on present enjoyment; but these always form a very small and even inconsiderable minority of each particular class. Whatever may he the case with a few individuals, the principle of accumulation always predominates, in aggregate bodies over the passion of expense. Whenever the wages paid to the laborer are so low as to render it impossible for an ordinary increase of exertion, to make any material and and visible addition to their comforts and conveniences, they invariably sink into a state of idleness, and of sluggish and stupid indifference. But the desire to rise in the world, and to improve our condition, is too deeply seated in the hu man breast ever to be wholly eradicated.

The poor have, upon all plain practical questions, that touch their own interests, the same un derstanding, the same penetration, and the same regard to remote consequence as those who are rich. It is, indeed, an capable of earning, by an ordinary degree of application, more than is ulficient for their support, they alone, of all orders in the community, will fpend thf surplus in riot and debauchery. They have the same common sense, they are actuated by the same passions, feelings and principles, as other men; and when such is tbe case, it is clear that they cannot generally be guilty of such inconsiderate conduct.

i rv rw r i mi uirt in countries where the natural rate 01 wages is low, compared with its state in those who where it is high, prove all that has now been said ? Have the loxv wages of the people of Ireland, Poland, and Hiudostan, made them industrious? or the high wages of the. Americans, the English, and the Hollanders, made them biz , riotous, ad profligate? Just the contrary. The former a re as notoriously and proverbially indolent, as the latter are laborious activr, and enterprising. The experience of all ages and nations proves that high wages are tin keenest spur t he mnst powerful stimulus to unremitting and assHaous exer tion. From the A'erc York Enquirer WALKING. What is the reason that in that throng of Broadway an Li glish lady is so dis tii guished and distinguishable from an American! The one is plump, ruddy , fair complexior.ed, of a firm step an un graceful carnage: the other thin deli cate, graceful and indolent. Their hah its ditfer materially : an Englishwoman walks considerably; that is, she takes a long substantial, fatiguing walk a walk which strengthens her nerves and rnus clos, expands her lu; gs, and invigorates her whole frame; she rises early, and n tires early; she is always well clothed; busies about with smartness and activity; systematizes labour, and thus secures health and banishes premature old age. I he English climate, with all its humidity, is excellent; ii braces withou producing lassitude b its transition ; ani the fogs of London are no mean auxilia ries in producing tair compnxioi s. English woman ride much and in even respec t consider exercise as a cardinal preservative. Here i the essential dillerence between them and the ladies of our country. We consider a listless loin ge and stroll in Broadway as exercise. Scarcely has breakfast disappeared, when our ladie?, in their morning dresses, sail) out for what they call shopping, with a little loose, flange, and a straggling bank note, in a bead purse, and thuc, with parasol in hand, they stroll into shops, tumble over goods, look at Fountaii s cashmere shawls at r200, admire some Marquand's splendid Jewellery, purchase a leather fan and a pair of gloves, and arrive at home at 2 o'clock, and throw themselves on 1 the bed until it is time to dress for dinner the same listless drawlii g walk is taken until evening. This is not exercise: it fatigues without strengthening; it pains without inv igorating; it is a slow progress through the hot air of the city, instead of tasting the free and balmy breeze of the environs, hence the difference in complexion in ruddiness, and appearance. Tne bed is an active promoter of weakness and lassitude; but it is so great a favorite during the day that an invitation is seldom resisted for a few lcUurc moments. Tne difference of dress between the i . i nghsh and American lad.es atlords singular contrast. inc tMir niaura no. s:wri ire Tii k n i;i nm or nersnn KTiirr ! i" r i f i i i i ,.,Ki ,wi- ' i irtn: c n .

I love a good sound hearted honest man, said uncle Doleby to my good father, as they were discussing the a Hairs of the neighborhood, over a long pipe, one summer evening. Now my father was a man who thought very much and said very little. He was a great hand for understanding the right meaning of; term; and he often said he thought half the world was as ignorant of the etymology as of any other 'ology in the whole encyclopedia. So he put on a long face, and with a grave and dignified puff, turned half round to my uncle Brother, said he, what's honesty? My uncle loved to talk, and w hat was better.he always talked to some puspose.

he was learned and very sage, and hadj'iarly so here, and offices in possession of

ten years the advantage of mv father, so that he was always listened to with a great deal of deference, by us all. To be sure, 1 had alwavs thought that everv body knew what honesty was, but I found from what my uncle said, that there was a great deal less of it practised in the world than I dreamed of before and the answer he gave to mv father's question itself was the result of deep retlection. Why first, said my uncle Dolrhy, let me tell you what, in my very humble opinion, is not honesty. A u! There are some very genteel people in the world, who by some means. no matter how, have got money, and who live merely to spend it. U ho never did, and never intend, to labour for the benefit of themselves or others, who are 111 A I mere nianus in society, mere motn. mere consumers. These are not literally, and in the strict sense of the won!, honest. Then there is a much larger class, who live by their wits who turn a penny ii the way of tratlic make money by buy ing cheap and selling dear, by running down other people s goods below their value, and praising their own abov e it practising a thousand ingenious little tricks, by which to get the advantage of a neighbor. This class are not hone-t. People who never pay their debts until they are compelled either by hard dunning or a more summary process, arc not honest. But there are men who are the most prompt paymasters in the world, never behind hand, none of your eleventh hour men, and yet who look only to the footing ot their own lulls, neve r discover an er-i , . - . i i nt 11 i.niirlil.Ar it it hinnnii tn ha 111 lui id ti iiriiiiuu ? 11 11 tni'' 11 ii" iljv in their own favor unless indeed it be with interested view , Mich as acquiring confidence, and building up a reputation. These are not genuine honest men. Another large cla?5 claim to be honest because, they say, they i. jure nobody hut themselves bv their practises of intoxication, of rioting, of misspending time and money, and so on. There is no honesty there. Again, another class who are perfectly well behaved to every man's face, have something ill to say behind every man's bad;. These too are far from being honest. And so my uncle w ent on to enumerate a dozen other classes of men, w ho though net open cheat, not scoundrel above board, not criminals under the statute, were nevertheless radically defective in point of honesty and at last he came to tbe end. Now to be honest, continued be, a man must love virtue for its own sake must divest himself of all self interest when it comes in competition w ith the rights of .
