TN pertffing the papers of this city, I
1 find that individual, as well as geo
eralor public complaints, often occupy
a portion of each— This induces me to
offer for publication in your Gazette,
* feme of the particulars of a difappofot
meat, which I've no doul?t, have been
, most sensibly felt by others as well as
; ° m+fetf, who have hertily repented—but,
. , alast when too late. Thu difappoin^,

cated verbally, if one withes to avoid be

You must know, Mr. Printer, that a
'« bout two years firice, I unluckily (is has

attachment to a Female, who had aimott

Z/M^rimonral Wbad been paid.; In

, who had any claim to her partiality.
Wherever <he went, I was with her—
„ to Affembita, Plays, &c. and was never
more happy than when under these en
garments. Th this career twe jeart

es of the pencil, relieves its labor, and
multiplies with the greatest case, its
most valuabieprod uftions. It gives un
fading charms to beauty ; recalls to life
and to aftion the Heroes and the sages
who are dead, and gives to immortality,
the expressive portraits, the animation,
the passion of the living.
The progress madcin these ufeful and
elegant arts, in America, has within a
. few years been very great. A most ad
s mirable specimen is now given in the
imprdhon and embelliffiment of a beau
;tiful Poem. Mr. David Weft, presents
'° the public (from the press of Muff.
Manning and Loring) in edition of
the " Pleasures of memory" a late and
much admired English Poem. It is
printed on fine vellum, of the most de
locate texture and polilh. The paper
was made by Mr. Bemis, of Watertown.
It is perhaps, the firft, it is certainly the
most fuccefsful imitation made in this
country, of the boiled European man
uf^wre. The ^pograph^, we think,
has hot been exceeded in anv country,
in f o ,C^ncfs, neatnef^ *td beaut,!' —
Tfe plates, with which this volume is
adpirred, are executed in a ©aft K ly
manner. They .we plea sing proofs of
the fall and taste of the engraver, and
of the perfection to which his art has
arrived.
^' On the whole, the lovers of poet,,and
'the enecuragers of arts in our country,
'may have in this volume, an agreeable
source of gratification. .°
. *e' av e only to regret, that the poem
itfetf, e was not the competition of an
American bard. But we hope to fee
the productions ofa Sewall, a Morton,
and a Paine, „clcnted to the public,
-with all these irerited honors and em
bellishments of the engraver and .the
pefi.

WHITE BEANS.
—in— it
ft, £ ^!R. Russell,
Agriculture and commerce
being the great sources of our na-^<
tional prosperity, I hare been induced
to make an observation on the culture r
exportation of White Beans,
which of late years have become a con
uderable article of our export. My #•
view is t@ induce the farmer to plant
none but clear White Beans ; as any co
loured Beans destroy, in an essential de
gree, their value, for exportation.
At firft fight, with those who look.
°Ri° a newspaper but polit
ical disquisition, or the fate of empires,
""^pDpear trifling ; ht I anC^
confident, that, attention to this sppa- ^1
rently small matter, would save tfo
f an J, andt^s of & fad, o/D^ar, b& '
,_/ For i&ce, Mr. Ruffed, sup.
P °'° T^ exported from Beftorv#^
c• , 000 buffieti per fe, These at ^ c ,%
d^ra bushel will neat the Farmer'll
20,000 dollars, and the cxporter, per-'
haps, 25,000 &am These shall be
sept to a foreign port, wherein 20,000
bushels of Holland Beans Should neec
the Dutch Farmer 25,000 dollars, and
the Dutch merchant whaexported them
above 30,000, merely, because the
Dutch beans are all white as chalk, and
the American beans of all colours.
This is a real fad—And from it I infer,
that the formers who fendtheir beans to
Boston market only, experience an an-1
nual loss of 5000 dollars, in this small
article.—Thislofs must chiefly fall on
the Farmer, for the Merchant cannoc
afford to give a higher price than fo
reigners will repay ; and when he buys
of the Farmer h^con/iders the quality
ofthe article ; and, ^ it refers Amert
ican Beans, that they will not com
mand so much by 20 per cent. In for
eign countries, as other beans do—not
from any bad quality, but as said be
fore, from their being coloured !—
How easy then is it for the farmer,
when preparing his feed, to prevent
this !—And when he brings his beans to
market get 20 per cent, advance on the
price.
The loss above contemplated applies
only to Bofton;if CTe thea take into:
consideration the^ losses experienced
from the fame cause, inthe other portsr
of this State, and the United States, the
sum must be immense—perhaps
ioo,ooo dollars annually.'

fving must be the fixation of a Captain
of an American yc/fel in Europe, when 4
