Several Vessels arrived lately at the Cape

York for Halifax—Captain Nicholson in a

TRENTON, December I.
Congress, we learn, hive recommer ded it
to the several legislatures of the united Rates
to pass regulating acts, to take place on the
firft of February ner, and that they have nego
ciated a loan with the Court of France and
the dates of Holland to a very considerable
amount. The good effect, of these important
ftrokei of policy will, we fl it er ourselves, soon
be felt, as they will doubtless put our finances
and our army up?n a very refpedable footing.
fy Irofi^r? of this lae have agreed to raise
a tax of nine million of dollars, to "' collected in
t ujo faymeits, one by the sod aa, of May, and

large Bellies; their Operation is mils, faje and pica.;
fant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowel, of all fiiff l
and clammy Humours which flop up the Parts and
prevent the Juice of Food being conveyed to the fryer
and made Blood, which is often the Case with Children;
and is attended with a bard Belly, finking Breath, 1
