(The southern •r slave States, l consider as withent the eange of the present enquiry.) But from what I have learnt, I entertain great doubts of the exchange, ou 'the whole, roving satisfactory to the British farmer; mid I eta-dear that it would not be advisable for persons of any ether description than farmers to fe• move from. Great Britain to the eastern States, lu or. der to practise agriculture." Ile is very confident, however, that all who resolve to penetrate farther west, and rely open the earth for their support, and who can bring with them aw. dente industry and good morals, will not be dials., pointed in any reasonable expectations. Artisan,' ate of Course wanted in a proper proportion to the other inhabitants, and are sure to advance rapidly. They can certainly earn a dollar and a half or two dollars a day, the price charged at the inns for beard and lodging fer a week 1 indeed all labour is dear in America, and provisions being so cheap, the con dition of the lower classes is many degrees above that of the same classes in England ! The wages of the commonest labourer are three quarters of a dollar, enough to enable a provident man in the coarse of a few years to buy land for himself. One effect, how ever, of this facility of living, is the indolence which seems to be very prevalent among the natives. The Indians, swept when engaged iu hunting or fishing, are notoriously idle, though something is perhaps to be attribeted to thole precarious mode of life ; the backwoods-men come neat, and then the inhabitants, the towns. Mr. B. frequently saw strong young men lolling about, inactive and listless : they said, ss a sort of snow, " Yoe English are very Wes.. trim's, but we have liberty." The following are some instances of the success of men, who, having no capital to begin with, were necessitated to rely on their own Wintry and resources. The first is writ ten at Pittsburg 66 A shoemaker of my acquaintance, that is to say, whom I employed, left Ireland, as poor as an Irish emigrant, four years ago„—staid one year in Phila. delphia, then removed hither, and was employed by a master practitioner of the same calling, at, twelve dollars per week. lle saved his money, married, paid his master, who retired on his fortune, three' hundred dollars for his business, and is now in a fair way of retiring too ; as he has a shop well stocked, end a thriving trade, wholesale and retail, with vast profits." The second is the history of two Germans, with three young children, who were even unable to speak English:— " These two men were hired at Philadelphia, by a respectable men (with whom I have contracted an acquaintance, through a common friend), and they are now together, master and inert, on their way to his farm, near Croydon, in the state of Indiana.— These men are engaged for two years, at eighty dol lars per annum each, with all neces'aries, viz. house, food, and cloathing for themtalves, and children.— Thus, at the eapiration of two years, they are pos sessed of thirty-six pounds sterling each, and their children growing up to be useful. With this they may pay the first deposit en farms of eighty or a hundred acres, build themselves cabins, and become free. holders and cititzeos. Mechanics, or artisans of the lost simple kind, earn half as mach more, and those of superior talents rise rapidly to wealth." The nest example is that of an old Irishman, liv. leg near St. Clairsville, with a wife and two children, whom he bad brought from his native country; and the last, that of an intelligent farmer. from the neighbourhood of Chillicothe, whom Mr. B. met et en inn :- 66 The son and daughter were married, and well settled ; each having eight children. Be came to this place 14 years ago. before an axe bad been lifted,' except to make a blaze road, a track across the wit. denten, marked by tbe hatchet on the trees, which pissed over the spot where the town now Stersallel— A free aid independent American, and a warm po litician, he now discusses the interests of the State as one concerned in its prosperity ;—and so he is, for be owns one hundred and eighteen acres of excellent land, aid has 20 descendants. He has also a right to urethane the acts of the Government, for be has share in its appointment, and pays eight dollars a year in taxes :—fire to the general Treasury, and three to his own country s—in all about four-pence per acre.— He still inhabits a cabin, hot it is not an Irish cabin. " Fourteen years ago, he also came into this new settlement, and 6 unloa ded his family under a tree,' on his present estate where he has now . two hun dred acres of excellent land, cleared and in good cultivation, capable of producing from 80 to 100 bushels of Indian corn per acre." It will be seen from these passages, that even the most indigent get well off ) in no very long time too. -...1• I•im.- iIitURCIIASEttS of LINEN will obtain a Saving of frnies6d. to Iry a Yard, by applicatioa at the II EL- }ART COMPANY'S WAREHOUSE, 50, Bl..mmtrry, Noise the British Museum, where IRISH LI NEN and SHEETING, of superior fabric, bleached by a pro enmpecaliar to themselves, without ehemieal acid. which ren ders them much inure durable, are selling in single pieces, at wholesale prices.

No 'Government lands are sold under two dollars per acre; and I believe they are put op at this price in quarter section., at the section, and if there be no .bidding, they pass on. The hest lands and most (a vowable situations are sometimes rue op to ten or twelve dollarx,and in some late instances much higher. The lots which remain unsold are, from that time, open to the Puhlie, at the price of two dollars per acre; one-fourth to he paid down, and tiie remain ing three-fourths to be paid by instalments in five years ; at w hick time, if the payments are not com pleted, the lands revert to the State, and the prior advances are furfeireci.. " When a purchaser has made his election of one, or any number of vacant quarters, he repairs to the Land-office, pays 80 dollars, or as many !times that sum as lie pnrchsa-s quarters, and receives a certifi cate, which is the basis of the complete title, which will be gives' him when he pays all ; this he may do immediately, and receive eight per cent. interest for prompt payment.

There is a receiver and • register at each Laud-office, who are cheeks on each other, and are remunerated by a per centage on the • receipts." The uncultivated land is in general either covered with forests, or with a long coarse grass, which is however killed by sowing the common grasses.— " Nothing but fencing and providing water for stock is wanted to reduce a prairie into the condition of useful grass land ; and from that state, we all know, the transition to arable is through a simple process, easy to perform, and profitable as it goes on." The nest thing to he done is to get a log cabin, which the carpenters there will contract to erect wt 30 dollars a room, each room being 18 feet long and 16 brood, with a plank floor and roof. Those who have the means can exchange this for a good brick dwelling in a short time ; and for poor labourers, Mr. B. bas provided some cabins l with an inclosere for each of two acres and a half, and a right of common is an extensive piece of gronad. These are to be rented by the occupiers. Of the dangers to be feared, and the privations to 'be undergone, we shall now say something; and •first, of those which regard health. All parts annually overflowed by rivers, or naturally swampy, or in the rreighbovrbood of a mill pond, are unwbelesoore, and cause agues, ,&c. They. likewise abound with mosquitoes, as our English fens do with knats.

'teed' This was spoken with such an appearance of cordiality, that I bad not the least doubt of hie meaning whit be said. I had hitherto kept the proposition of my setting op a secret in Philadel phia, and I still kept it. Had it been known tbst I depended on the Governor, probably some friend that knew him better would have advised me not to rely on him, as I afterwards learned it was his known character to be liberal of promises which he never meant to keep. Yet unsolicited as he was by me, how could I think his generous offers insincere I believed him one of the best men in the world.—E . presented hint an inventory of a little printing-house, amounting, by my computation, to about one hon. dred pounds sterling. Ile liked it, but asked me if my being on the spot in England, to choose the and see that every thing was good of the kind, might not be of some advantage? Then,' said he,' when there you may make acquaintance, and establish core respondence. in the bookselling and stationery way.' I agreed that this might be advantageous. ' Then,' said he, ' get yourself ready to go with the Annie,' which was the annual ship, and the only one at that time passing between London and Philadelphia. But as it would be some months before the Anuis I continued working with Reimer. " The Governor, seeming to like my tampion had me frequently at his house, and his setting me up was always mentioned as a fixed thing. I was to take with me letters recommendatory to a number of his friends, besides the letter of credit to furnish me with the necessary money for purchasing the press, types, paper, .&c. For these letters I was appointed to call at different times, when they Were to be ready, but a future time was still named.— Thus we went on fill the ship (whose departure had been several times postponed) was on the point of sailing. Then when I called to take my leave, and receive the letters, his secretary, Dr. Baird, came out to me, and said the Governor was extremelr busy in writing, but would be down at Newcastle before the ship, and then the letters Would be deli. vered to me. 64 Having token leave of my friends, end ex. changed promises wkh Miss Reed, I quitted Phila. delphia in the ship which' anchored at Newcastle. — The Governor was there, but, when I went to his lodging, his secretory came to me from him with ex pressions of the greatest regret that he could not then see me, being engeged in befiness of the ut• most inpoitaore, but that he would send the utters tome on board, wishing me heartily a good voyage and a speedy return, &e.
