Summary.
[The following corred and judicious
SUMMARY, is taken from the Mi
nerva, a patriotic and well edited
paper, printed at Dedham, by Messrs.
Mann and Adams].
CHINA,
WE are told, & fluken by 1
dangerous civil war, but
our knowledge of chat nation is'
very little, and that little too eb
score to be trolled. They make
their hiftory older than the world,
and their numbers nearly equal to
those of all mankind. Their jeal
©u# policy has locked up the coun
try, and forbidden European eyes
1 to pry into it farther ^an the walls
of the single city of Canton. How,
much the late embaff, of Lord
Macartney has augmented the
stock of real knowledge in refped
co China, we ptelume not to fay.
^ENGJL,
and the Eaflindiei generally. The
power of the Duich, once so vast;
is became very feeble in Indian
The rich city of Batavia is ftit! in *1
their bands. , It it the capital of
these feitleneou, and of avast im
portance to their India trade ; byt^
the climate is so unwhotefome, the
English probably hefitite about I
attacking it. No nation looses /

than the English ; their greater
intemperance it perhaps the excuse.
Their cocquefe io che Eaftindiei
h<ve cost them dear in this way.
But their superiority in the. East it
undisputed. Their fubfea# are
computed at fifty million# in all
those vast regions fuhfra to their
power, and the conditioned ihJe
people has of late grown better, by
introducing the laws of England.
The lower classes, from (lives in
effea, are railed co be lendho&r^
The tenure of lands and the ad
ministration of justice, have been
greatly improved within the last
twelve years in Bengal, and the
.encouragement to the industry of
the people, has augmented their
ease and comfort with their trade.
The export of sugar from rhe
East co America, it coofidetib %
.and yet a few years ago it would
have been deemed impoffibe. —
Should our trade receive adequate
protection, it will extend itfi If pro

We hear nothing of T'ppo
Saib, the great rival of the F, g
lilh, and we mutt conclude that
as his hatred it unchangeable, his
power is too much reduced to
gratify it.
The Cape of Good Hope, con
quered by the Eoglifh from the
Dutch, is of great importance to
the former, and it will probably
be one of the knotty points to dis
cuss at the future settlement of a
peace, who (hall have it.
PERSIA,
is an empire fobjed to superstition
and military despotism ; could it
be cursed with more ? Yes; it i^
For many years it has been in an
archy and ecefufioo. It has had
civil wars, and wars with the Rufe
fians and the Tutks. These con
