Sive of ! CAW, &c. Bte. &v. - . BY THE AUTHORITY OF HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL LET MRS PATENT, GRANTED TO EDWARD JUKES 'I'HE AVE R RUNC AToR, a new-invented In strument for Pruning, Sec. &c. &e. The want of an Instrument for Pruning Trees and Shrubs of too great a height to be reached from the ground, and too weak to sustain the weight of a ladder, has been long felt. The Aver runcator will be found completely to supply that want. With it, all superfluous branches may be cut from a tree of any height with the greatest nicety, without the aid of a ladder, and that too with a facility and neatness scarcely credible. It will effectually destroy all those bags of insects which are so destructive to trees, and will be found not only the most useful, but the most amusing Instrument for Pruning, ever yet offered to the Public. It may be used in a horizontal as well as perpendicular direction, and is not only calculated fur the use of Nurserymen and Gar deners, but is equally adapted for the use of Gentlemen, or even 1.a...e5, who may without inconvenience, carry It in their walks round their grounds, and remove dead and unsightly branches ; and by affixing a small basket, it is admirably adared for gathering grapes or other fruit banging beyond the common - each, or in Hot-houses or Green-houses, where the introduction of a ladder will be entirely superseded by the Averruncaror. This Instrument has the approval of some of the most eminent Nurseryater and Gardeners in the neighbourhood of the Metso polls, and is onnounced by them a most admirable Invention ; by the use or w hich, they will be able to avoid the various clumsy, tedious, and ineffectual expedients to which they have hitherto been compelled to have recourse in the necessary and important. duty of I;runbig.

The earnest endeavours of the Prince Regent to Preserve toe relations of peace and amity with the United States of America having unfor. tow ely failed, his Royal Hig! nvss, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, deems it . p.orer publicly,to de clare ....is causes and origin of th war, in which the Government of the United States has compelled him to engage. No desire of conquest or other ordinary motive of aggression has been, or can be, with any colour of I reason, in this case, imputed to Gt ea . Britain : that ; her commercial interests were on the side of peace, if war could have been avoided, without the sacrifice I of her maritime rights, or without an injurious sub missien to France, is a truth which the American , Government will not deny. His Royal Highness does uA, however, mean to Tacos% the favourable presumption to which he isfi entitled. He is prepared, by an exposition of the cumstanees which have led io;the present war, tor: chew that Great Britain has throughout acted to. wards the United States of America with a spirit of amity, forbearance, and conciliation. ; and to demon. strate the inadmissible nature of those pretensions, which have at length . unhappily itivulved the- twol countries in war. It is well known to the world , tha t it h as b een E l ia invariable object of the Ruler of France to destroy the power and independence of the British Empire, as the chief obstacle to the Accomplishment of his, ambitions designs. He first contemplated the possibility of assembling such a naval force in the Ch a n ne l, as , com bi ne d w i t i a numerous flotilla, should enable him to disembark in England an army sufficient, in his conception, 'subjugate this country, and through the conquest o' 'Great Britain be hoped to realize his project of uni versa' empire. By the adoption of an enlarged and provident sys. tern of internal defence, and by the valour of his Ma. jesty's fleets and armies, this design was entirely frustrated ; and the naval force of Fr.nce, after the most signal defeats, was compelled to retire fro.. the ocean. An attempt was then made tcreffectuate the same purpose by other means ; a system tt 43 brought for ward, by which the Ruler Of France hoped to anni hilate the commerce of Great Britain, to shake her public credit, and to destroy her revenue ; to render useless her maritime superiority, and so taavail him self of his continental ascendancy 'as to consume himself in a great measure the arbiter of the ocean, notwithstanding the destruction of his fleets. _ With this view, by the Decree of Berlin, followed by that of Milan, he declared the British territories to be in a state of blockade ; and that all commerce or even corr• esponiksitee with Greet Jritain -was pro. hibiled. He decreed that every vessel and cargo which had entered, or was found proceeding to a British port, or which under any circumstances had been vi sited by a British ship of war, should be lawful prize: he declared all British goods or produce, wherever found, and however acquired, whether coming from she mother country or from her colonies, subject to confiscation : he further declared to be denationa lized, the flag of all neutral ships that should be .ound offending against these his Decrees: and lie gave to this pr. ject of universal tyranny the name o the Continental System. For these attempts to ruin the commerce of Grea Britain, by means subversive of the clearest lights o neutral nations, France endeavoured in vain to les. her justification upon the previous conduct of hi Majesty's Government. Under circumstances of unparalleled provocatto his Majesty had abstained from any measure whit •the ordinary rules of the Law at Na"tions. did no fully warrant. Never was the maritime bup et orit of a belligerent over his enemy more caniptete an decided. Never vas the opposite belligerent so fo midably dangerous in his power and in his policy t the liberties of all other nations. France had already trampled so openly and s. systematically on the most sacred rights of Neutra Powers, as might well have justified the placing 11- out of the pale of civilized n aians. Yet in this extreme case Great Britain had so use. her naval ascendancy, that her enemy could find n just cause of complaint : and in order to give to the lawless dectees the appearance of retaliation, the R • ler of France was obliged to advance principles maritime law unsanctioned by any other authorit than his own arbitrary will. The pretexts for these Decrees were, first, th Great Britain had exercised the rights of war again . private persons, their ships and goods ; as if the on I object of legitimate hostility on the ocean were public property of a State, or as if the Edicts, an the Courts of France itself had not at all times ei forced this right with peculiar rigour ; secondly, this the British orders of blockade, instead of being co fined to fortified towns, had, as France asserted, bee. unlawfully extended to commercial towns and port and to the mouths of rivers; and, thirdly., that th had been applied to places, and to coasts, which ne ther were, nor could be actually blockaded. Th last of these charges is not f winded on tart ; whil the others, even by the admission of the America Gpvernment, are utterly groundless in point o f lass - . Against these Decrees, his Majesty plo:es,ed an appealed : he called upon the United States w acse:, their own rights, and to vindicate their irriependenc; thus menaced and attacked ; and as France sad dared, that she would confiscate every s•.s..cl, what. should touch in Great Britain, or be visited by B fish ships of war, his Majesty, }teeing previous issued the Order OfJanuary 1807, as an act of mi gated retaliation, was at length compelled, by Chi persevering violence of the enemy, and the courinuei acquiescence o( Neutral Pow.:rs, to reviait, upoi This day was published, U Octavo, illustrated with 39 Plates, /nice 18s. boards, MECHANICAL EXERCISES; or, The Ele ments and Practise of Carpentry, Joinery, Bricklaying, Masonry, elating, Plastering, Painting, Sedthing, and Turning.
