or constant hoarding, and their friends may depend on
attention shewn them, „ '° y proper
saves, as well as we cam In short, they now turn the tables on us,
and serve us as we served the English. By their inuendoes they give
us plainly to underhand, that though they loved the treason, they
hated the traitor.
" Nay farther, we were taught to believe, that when we had opce
gained our favourite obje&, independence, we should be enabled both
10 buy, and fell to much greater advantage than we did, or could do
before. oye Americans, tell if you can, is this now the fa&?—
And after we have tried every market in Europe, are we not obliged
to return to the English again for every ufeful article as to our hft
resource? We now find by experience, that they fell better, and
cheaper goods; and that they can give longer credit.—ln regard to
this lad article, long credit, there was a time, when it might be
truly said, that all America traded on the credit of English capitals.
Our merchants bought English goods on long credit; And if remit
tance were made to England within twelve months, it was deemed
good pay; —if within two years, not very bad: And many relied on
the patience of their English creditors, so far as 'to make no payment
before three years were expired. In the mean time, when these goods
were difpofcd of in America, to what life was the money there ari
ling, generally applied by our American adventures? It was lent
out atari interest of eight per cent; —or it was employed in carrying
on a tratick to the Spanish indin, where the gains were twenty per
cent ;—or in the purchase of landed dt#tes in our own provinces;—
so that all this while, our American adventurers were growing rich
and great, at the expence of their English creditors. But how are
the -times altered within a few years? Our European coYrefpondents
both in France, and in other countries, now expert, that we should
trufl them, instead of their trusting us: And 'it is looked upon, as a pe
culiar indulgence, when they condescend to allow tis 6 months credit,
instead of la months, or two years. On the other hand, we find al
so by dear-bought experience, that the English gave a better price
for our American produce df every kind, than we can obtain any
where else; —and that their pay was infinitely better, being indeed
frequently advanced, before the goods arrived in England. Yet these
generous correfpond&nts, and kind benefa&ors, were the very peo
ple, whom our present rulers reprefeirfed to us, as the nioft knavish,
the mod perfidious, overreaching, and diffioneft traders hi the mer
cantile world. , O may we never meet with Worse pay-mallers, or
more dishonest dealers than they have been! '
" But above all, our taxes! yes, our taxes,=-for the English legis
lature laid on us a mod exorbitant, and grieveous tax (if 3d. on a
pound of tea, and of an halfpenny ftanip on a newspaper: This, to
be sure was a moll intolerable burden; a very fufficient cause for re
volting from under the pressure of such a yoke! But now,—what is
it we pay ? nay rather,—what is it we do not pay ? Alas! there
is hardly one article either of live, or dead llock, or of the produce
rs the earth and waters, hr the rcfult of our industry and'labour,
that is exempt from the fangs of 'thefe devouring locusts? they tax
every thing; and yet they fey, that all this is not enough; and that
more must Ilill be laid on : In short, America is mortgaged for ages
to come, with a debt of millions upon millions, in order to obtain,-
what? why truly, that a fee of ungrateful upttarts might be exalted
into power, to tinfulttheir betters, and to become the princes and
princesses of this once free country."
Much more, Sir, might have been added to the fame effect : And
many of the present heads might have been greatly enlarged upon.
But I am persuaded, that you will think this specimen to be Efficient
for proving, and illustrating 'my grand fuhjed,—namely, that the
Americans, as well as theother Powers, are anting dire&ly contrary
to their own interest in the present contest. They are pursuing their
own ruin, by attempting our downfall and deftrudion. So'thac if
they shall succeed, we kail be the the gainers, and they the losers.
A Grange metamorphofrs this, wherein every thing is inverted. An
tipodes undoubtedly there are in the natural werld! But antipodes in
the moral, political, and commercial, is a new phenomenon, re
ferx r ed for the Statesmen and Politicians of the age. In regard so the
truths of the fads which are advanced in the above future American
patriotick speech, they arc indisputable, and cannot be controverted.
Rcfpe&ing the little firokes of oratory, they are of no confequencc •
but may be admitted orreje&ed, according as my readers may think
proper. One thing however, Sir, you will, I presume, mod readily
allow, that nothing is more common, than for men, when any dar
ling scheme has failed, mutually to accuse each other, and to throw
the blame any where, to fllift it from themselves.
The Americans will be found under this predicament; they will be
disappointed, greatly chagrined, and universally difeontemed: So
that when they shall be no longer connected with England, they will
vent their reproaches against each other, for having been the authors
of their reflective bufferings. To sum up all, they will fulfill Ho
race's remark, which he made so long ago:
'' Virtutem incAumem odimus,
'' Subhkun ex epulis qUrcrimas iuvidi.
As to the future grandeur of America, and its bein'? a riling em
pire, under one head, wh< ther republican, or monarchial, it is one
of the idlest, and most vifienary notions, that ever was conceived
even by writers of romance. For there is nothing in the genius of
the people, the situation of their country, or the nature of their dif
ferent climates, which tends to countenance such a fuppolition. On
the contrary, every prognoftick that can be formed from a contemp
lation of their mutual antipathies, and clashing interests, -their dif
ference of governments, habitudes, and manners, —-plainly indicates,
that the Americans will have no center of union among them, and
no common interest to pursue, when the power and government of
England fire finally removed. Moreover, when the intciftaions
and divisions of their country by great bays of the sea, and by vast
rivers, lakes, and ridges of mountains ;—and above all, when these
immeirfe inland regions, beyond the back settlements, which are friil
unexplored, are taken into the account, they form the highest pro
bability that the Americans never can be united into one compact
empire, under any species of government whatever. Their fate
Kepis to be, —A disunited people, till the end of time. In short, the
only probable feppofitien, that can be formed of them at present is
this;—That being so very jealous in their tempers, so suspicious, and
diftruftful of each other, they will be divided, and subdivided into little
common-wealths, or principalities, according to the above-mentioned
natural dininons, or boundaries of their country; and that all of them
in general, will be more intent on prosecuting their own internal dis
putes and quarrels, than desirous to engage in external wars, and dif
t:int conquefts> I hey will have neither Icifure, nor inclination, nor
abilities for such undertakings.
. This fubjed might be greatly enlarged upon, and placed in various
lights. , But as I have already put your patience to the trial, 1 will
pursue it no farther; and have the honour to be, .Your obliged, and
devoted humble Servant: j' 'l'

November 20. How far the kingdom is declining in its re
sources will appear (fays a correspondent) from the product of
the finking fund, which is affected by all the taxes we pay,
except land and malt. The following is the half-yearly ac
count :
1778, firfl half year, £.1,320,000
fecund half- year, ~300,000
1779, f°f half-year, 1,340,000
second half- year, 1,350,000
1780, firß half-year, 1,460,000
second half- year, 1,470,000
1 78 i, firß half year 1,495,000
From hence it appears that the aggregate of taxes bas in
created regularly, and confequcntly that consumption has not
diminished; and if consumption does not lessen, it is very
furpriling indeed if the people's income lessens. Could such
an account be procured from France, we should fee a very
different result.

'' Ihe fix fliips of the line appointed to escort a convoy,

at Buenos-Ayres, in order to check fie spirit of rebellion,
which by the instigation of foreign emissaries has diffused itfelf
over all the provinces bordering upon the Brazils. For al
though the chief of the rebels in Peru has been taken, and his
accomplices dispersed, we are well assured by letters from
Buenos-Ayres, that other provinces have followed the fame

Extrail of a letter from LiJbon, September 22.
THE French Cabinet are fairing every nerve to em
broil this Court in the present war. We'have re
monttrance after remonstrance to open this port to
the Americans. Several of the nobility have privately affirmed .
that it is scarce possible for this Court to escape declaring for,
one lide or the other: if it should be against her old ally Eng
land, which is very much against her interest, we shall all be
lent home to visit our friends.
" Don Joze de Caftinir, at the head of the revolution in the
Spanilh dominions of Peru, has given rife to some lerious de
mands from the Court of Spain for a grant of the ftipulafed fuc
coms agreed between this Court and Spain in the last treaty,
with an intention to guarantee each other's dominions, which
this Court cannot without a breach of faith refufe, nor grant
them, without breaking through the treaties of her more Rea
dy friend England, in affixing tier enemies.
“ If Cafimir is what they paint him, the detcendfint,anj
heir apparent of the old native Kings of Peru, from whom the
Spaniards unlawfully wrenched the feeptre; if he has been
bred up (as reported) in the Court of Spain, and received a
Doctor's degree in an European University ; if he is that man
of courage he is represented, at the ,bead of sixty thousand dis
ciplined troops, on their march to Buenos Ayrfo —Spanish A
merica is liberated from the Spani.'h yoke.
“ The above Cafimir lias published a Proclamation, Riling
himfelf John the tenth, of the Incas of Peru, notifying to the
Governours of the several provinces of his dominions to leave
the country ; but on condition that they do not fettle in the
dominions of her MoR Faithful Majesty, Ad good corfa. The
Proclamation is handed about here, wrote in Spanilh, corrupt-'
ed with Portugueze."
The following has been tranffitted to us by a correffondent at

PROCLAMATI O N.
Issi-d by order of the Emperor Tipa-AmarO.
D°" 7°Z ?° Gabriel Tipi Amaro, Ingo of the fujl Branch of
the. Roy I Family, &r.
I GIVE notice to the Natives, Creoles, and others in the
province of Lancia, and its neighbourhood, that observing the
heavy yoke which.opprefl'es us, and the many taxes that are
imputed upon us, and the tyranny of thole who are intrufted
with the tirft employs, without any companion for our dif
trefles; thrown into despair on this account, and front their
cruelty, I am determined to ihake off this insupportable bur
then, and take the management of tin's Government into my
hands, from these, who we Rud, to ourcoft, are but cyphers.
From these motives it was that the Corregidor of the province
of Toita has been executed on the gallows, in whose defence
the city of Cufco dared to infalt my beloved Creoles, for
which they fhal! pay with their lives; for I never will consent
that ray people fa ill fuffer fitch injuries ; but, on the contra
ry, that we live together as brothers in a united body, to de-
Rioy the Europeans. For this purpose, I give notice to the
aforefiid, that they must adopt and pursue this principle ; but
if my inßrußions are flighted, ruin shall ensue, by conver
ting my benevolence into anger, and reducing, this province to
allies; for 1 have 60,000 Indians, 10,000 Creoles under my
orders, and other provinces have offered me their assistance,
which I have accepted, so that this inftruaion may be looked
upon as the effeft of my love and good will. I promise the
Clergy that refprd ihall be paid to their estates, as well as to
their reliques, and monafterics, it being my sole intention to*
relieve my country from the many robbers who take from us
the fy u 't of o^r labour. In a word, undeceive yourfelvcs,
chahife the difaffefled, and yoifwill reap the advantage. That
you may not plead ignorance, I'make this Proclamation, No
vember 25, 1780.

Peteifburgh, (Russia) November 30. Some years ago the
Court of Vienna made proposals relative to several arrangements
to be made with our Court, with regard to the -trade and na
vigation between the ports of Russia ors the Black Sea, and the
Austrian estates near the fame sea, as well towards the Danube,,
as by the channel of Conftantiuople, the Archipelagos, and
