Another of the bills has for its device, a form
descending from a black heavy cloud, with the
motto, Serenabit ; It vudl clear up. This seems
designed to encourage the deje&ed, who may be too
sensible of present inconveniences, and fear their
continuance. It reminds them, agreeable to the
adage, that after a form comes a calm ; or as Horace
more elegantly has it---
Informes hyemes reducit, Jupiter : idem fummovet.
Non Ji male nunc, et olim
Sic erit.—Neque femper arcum tendit Apollo.
On another bill there is stamped the representation
of a tempefluous sea ; a face with Swollen cheeks,
wrapt in a black cloud, appearing to blow violently
on the waters, the leaves high, and all rolling one
way: The motto Vi CONCLTATE; which may
be rendered, raised by force. From the remoteit an
tiquity, in figurative language, great waters have
lignified the people, and waves an infurreaion. The
people of themselves are supposed as naturally in
On one denomination of the bills there is the
figure of a barp, with this motto, Majora MlNO
ribus consonant : literally, The greater and
smaller ones found together. As the Z%u, is an in
strument composed of great and small firings, in
cluded in a firing frame, ,nd all so tuned as to agree
in concord with each other, I conceive that'the
frame may be intended to reprefentour new govern
ment by a Continental Cdngrefs ; and the firings of
different lengths and fubffance, either the several
colonies of different weight and force, or the various
ranksof people in all of them, who are now united
by that government in the most perfect harmony.
On another bill is impressed, a avild boar of the
for?f rushing on the spear of the hunter; with this
motto, AUT MORS, AUT VITA DECORA, which
may be tranflated—Deat/j or liberty. The wild
boar is an animal of great strength and courage,
armed with long and ffiarp tusks, which he well
kwws hnw to use in hr ik'ejxr Hr is ip ^ffentve
while fuffeied to enjoy his freedom, but when routed
and wounded by the hunter, often turns and brakes
him pay dearly for bis injustice and temerity.
On another is drawn an eagle on the wing, pounc
ing upon a crane, who turns upon his back, and re
ceives the eagle, on the point of his long bill, which
pierces theeagle's bread; with this motto, Exitus IN
DUBIO EST ;---Tbe event is uncertain. The eagle,
I suppose, represents Great-Britain, the crane Ame
rica. This device offers an admonition to each of
the contending parties. To the crane, not to depend
" too much on the success of its endeavours to avoid
the contest (by petition, negotiation, &c.) bur pre
pare fdr using the means of defence God and nature
hath given it ; and to the eagle not to presume on its
Superior strength, since a weaker bird may wound it
mortally.~
Sunt dubii eventus, incertaque pr^lia mortis :
P'incitur, baud rare, qui prope ohflor erat.
On another bill we have a thorny bujb, which a
band seems attempting to eradicate. The hand ap
pears to bleed, as pricked by the spines. Themotto
is, SUSTINE VEL ABSTINE ; which may be ren
dered, Bear with me, or let me alone ; or thus, Either
support or leave me. The bush I fpppofe to mean
America, and the bleeding hand Britain. Would to
Ged that bleeding were ftopt, the wounds of that
hand healed, and its future operations directed by
wisdom and equity ; so shall the hawthorn fiourifh,
and form an hedge around it, annoying with her
thorns only its invading enemies.
Another has the figure of a beaver gnawing a
large tree, with this motto, PerseveraNDO; By
perseverance. I apprehend the great tree may be
intended to reprerent the enormous power Britain has
assumed over us, and endeavours to enforce by arms,
of taxing us at pleasure, and bindingus in al! ca f
cushatfoever ; or theTexciShmt ptAlts foe makes bv
monopolizing car "commerce. Then the beaver,
which is known to be able, by affidt ms arid heady
which, by peifevwance in her pr.i at merifines, wM
probably r nice ttyat powpt within proper hmm:';,
and, A uablilhing the most necefury manufactures
an: gourfelves, abobih the British monopoly. #
Uq another bill we have the plant acanthus,tyrovt
ing on all tides under a weight placed upon it, with
themotto, Depressa RESURGIT; Tbo" opprtfed
it rises. The ancients tell us, that the fight of Inch
an accidental circumttance gave the firft hint to an
architect, in forming the beautiful capital of the
Corinthian Column. This, perhaps, was intended
to encourgeus, by representing, that our present op
preflions will not destroy us, but that they may, by
increasing our industry, and forcing it into new
courses, increase the prosperity of cur country, and
establish that prosperity on the bast of liberty, and
the well -proportioned pillar, of property, elevated
for a pleasing Spectacle to all cennciffeurs, who can
tafe and delight in the architecture of human happi
ness.
The figure of a band and flail over Jbeaves of
wobeat, with the motto, Trißulatio DITAT,
Threfing improves it (which we find printed on
another of the bills) may perhaps be intended to
admonish us, that tho' at present we are under the
flail, its blows, how hard fo6ver, will be rather ad-\
vantageous than hutful to us: for they will bring
forth every grain of genius and merit in arts, manu
fa&ures, war and council, that are now concealed in
,he hulk, and then the breath of a breeze will be
fufficient to feperate from ns all the chaff ofToryifm.
Tribulation too, in our English sense of the word,
improves the mind, it makes us humbler, and tends
to make us wiser. And threshing, in one of its
senses, that of beating, often improves those that are
threShed. Many an unwarlike nation have been
beaten into heroes by troublesome warlike neigh
bours; and the continuance of a war, tho' it lessen
the numbers of a people, often increases its strength,
by the increased discipline and consequent courage
of the number remaining. Thus England, after
her civil war, in which her people threshed one ano
ther, became more formidable to her neighbours.
The public distress too that arises from war, by in
creasing frugality and industry, often gives habits
that remain after the distress is over, and thereby
naturally enriches those on whom it has enforced
those enriching virtues.

Gentlemen,

tbeir Meaning. CLERICUS.
N'emblematical device, when rightly formed,
f] is said to consist of two parts, a body and a
mind, neither of which is coinpleat or intelligible;
without the aid of the other. "The figure is called
the body, the motto the^/^d. These that lam about
to consider appear formed on that rule, and firm to
relate to the present struggle between the colonies
and the tyrant state, for liberty, property and fifety
on the one hand, for absolute power and plunder on
the other.

were Salt Monday Stripped of every rag of Sails, all
their rigging except the Shrouds, all their small Stores,
cables and anchors, turned a drift, and drove ashore
on Goat-Bland, &c. These veffcls, we understand,
belonged to poor, laborious people, the whole Sup
port of whole families depended on what they made
by freighting wood, &c.---
Last Monday the Swan Sloop failed to convoy Seve
ral veiTels to Refton, which had been taken in and off
this port, viz. a Sloop from Connecticut, bound to
the Weft-Indies, with horses, &c. a Schooner from
the Welt-Indies, taken out of Stonington; and,
'large Sloop from Jamaica, which had been to New-
York, failed from thence under pretence of going to
England, and pretended to put in here for a mart ;
and another flopp, with salt and some sugar, from
the Weft Indies.
Last Thursday failed, the ship Francis, Capt.
Buckley, and snow Flora, Capt. Forrester, for Lon
don ; the Ship Jacob, Capt. Cornell, and Ship Cleopa

to return to this harbour.---The above vessels were
convoyed, as far as they went, by the Role, Capt.

Philadelphia, which he took near Block Ifend.

Should act prudently and firmly, retaining, above
all, a pacific dilpofition. This wreath was fiift
placed on an altar, to admonish the hero who was
to be crowned with it, that true glory is founded on
and proceeds fiem piety. My friend therefore thinks,
the present device might intend a wreath of that
composite kind, though, from the smallness of the
work, the engraver could not mark dittinaiy the differ
ing leaves : And he is rather confirmed in his opinion
that this is designed as an admonition to the Con
gress, when In considered the passage in Horace from
whence themotto is taken, Rex tens, aiunt.
clirr! to he Pr AS the water to remain level and
quiet. TF rising here appears not to be from
any internal cause, but from an external power, ex
prefied by the hehd of TEolus, God of the winds (or
Boreas, the :\orth wind, as usually the most violent)
anting furioufly upon them. The black cloud per
haps designs the British Parliament, and the waves
the colonies. Their rolling all in one direction
Shews, that the very farce tiled against them has pro
dqfyd their unanimity. ~ On the reverse of thisbill,
we have a fmeoth sea ; the fails of Ships on that tea
hanging loole fcws a perfect calm ; the fun fllining
fully denotes a clear Sky. The motto is, Cessante
VENTO, CONQUIESCEMUS: The voind ceasing,
cue fall be quiet. Supposing my explanation of the
preceding device to be right, this will probably im
port, that when thole violent a&s of power, which
have roused the colonies, are repealed, they will rea
turn to their iouner tranqu iity. 'Britain feems' thus
charged with being the sole cause of the present civil
war, at the fame time that the only mode of putting
an end to it is thus plainly pointed out to her.
The last is a vjreath of laurel on a marble monu
ment, or altar. The motto, Si recte facies ;
If you aft rightly. This seems intended as an en
couragement to a brave and Steady conduct in de
fence of our liberties, as it promises to crown with
honour, by the laurel wreath, those who persevere
to the end in 'well-doing ; and with a long duration
of that honour, exploded by the monument of marble.
A learned friend of mine thinks this device more
particularly addreffied to the Congress. He fays
the ancients composed for their heroes'a wreath of
laurel, oak and olive twigs, interwoven ; agreeable
to the dhtich.
