R-----d H---y L---e passed through this town a few days ago, on his way to Virginia. He spent a whole evening in reading his Cincinnatius, and in abusing Mr. Wilson and the new Government, to a group of school-boys and hotellers, who have since made themselves very merry at his expense. Various reasons are given for the weak part he is acting in this business, but the most probable one is, that it arises from envy of the fame of General Washington, and the dread he entertains of seeing that good man placed in the President's chair of the United States.
