SOME over refining persons censure the gov
ernment for borrowing money in foreign
countries. They admit that there is a large
saving by getting it at a very low interest—but
they dislike the fending money out of the
country to pay the principal and interest—ls
the rate of interest ia high in this country, it
should be noticed that we, have the capita] bor
rowed abroad to be employed at a better rate
in trade or manufactures than the interest it
bears.
But the test of the objeChon to foreign loans
will be,to fupphfe the loans made in this coun
try. Restrain the government, by law to bor.
rowing in America—what is the consequence ?
First, yku throw the government into the hands
of the money-hcSlfers,and as the law removes
ell rivals, they will have rhe plucking of
ihe treafary entirely to themselves. Had such
a scheme been proposed, we should have heard
an uncommon' peal rung about fpecdators,and
jobs, and favoritifm. Rut in the next point.
We were brethren before the commencement
of the unnatural war, which made a separation
between us-—and I hope the men of science
in both countries will be the firit to renew the
claims of consanguinity which have been for
a while fu(pended,and regardlels which might
take the lead in promoting ufeful knowledge,
join their hands heartily in aiding each other’s
progress.—l hope you will be wile enough to
adhere to the government, under which your
community flourifhes. May peace continue
with you for ever; and may harmony between
you and us be unbroken, whatever calamities
Providence has in ilore for us,”

audrefled by the Europeans, and from prelenC
appearances, will be as profitably ^urfucd by
their defceudants, the Americans. We know
that our vegetable kingdom is ample and in
retelling, and believe that the treaiures hid in
the earth are invaluable ; but for want of per
sons fkiiled in Mineralogy, jhefe recesses of
curiofiy, wealth and plealure, have not been
entered, and we remain dependent on foreign
countries for riches that are actually under our
feet.—The celebrated Dj. Lettsome, of
Lindon, impressed with a Sense of the advanta

Searching the earth for ores, and other 'fojjils,
has generously Sent a noble collection of min
erals to our Univerfitv, to Serve as Jiandard
Jpeciment. This collection will form the rich

contains a great variety of Specimens of iron
ores found in England, Sweden, Denmark, Ger
many, and other places. As great a variety cf
copper ores, from different parts of the world;
The fame may be Said of the Ipecimens of lead

in any cabinet in Europe. There are, more,
over, a great number of fpar>, curious chrijial-
Uzatiom and petrefactions, amounting in the
whole to above 500 Specimens.
This noble donation may be more extensive
ly ufefui, than Some would perhaps at firft im
agine.-—The importance of agriculture is con
feffed by all—but agriculture could not exist
without mineralogy ; for although it may be
true, that every thing for the iupport of life is
continued with unceasing circulation from the
upper Javer of earth, it is nevertheless as true,
that from the bowels of it, labour draws all
her tools, agriculture the chief of her Support,
commerce her riches, and the Jine arts their ma-

from a belief, that no country is 10 happhy
situated and circumstanced as America, for the
promotion of that ufeful branch of science.
One of the moil celebrated philosophers in
England, a character as eminently distinguished
in the line of Natural Hijiory,^ famous in that
enterprise which fat bounds to navigation, and
whose name with that fc of Cook’s will be re

the mifehief of confining government to domes
tic loans would injure the meichants, manufac
turer farmers. For this violent drawing of
the monied capital to the treasury to lend it to
government, would drain the channels which
it filled before. Infteed of buying land, im
proving farms, dyking and draining marshes,
making canals s and roads, engaging in manu
fadures and trading enterprizes,'the means of
givingTuccefsto these will be engrossed by the
getverrtrtient loans. It is not denied that this
country; compared wiih England and Hok
hndj is deficient in monied capital —If the
government will not give better terms than a
roan can make by his own management of hid
capital, he will refufe to lend—and it the gov
ernment ihouid cbm ply with the terms, it is
plain that he will give up other less profitable
employment of his money to lend it. Foreign
Joans are therefore forced upon almost every
government —otherwise the people would fuf
fer a loss in the rate of interest—greater taxes
to pay the increased interest—-and a disturb
ance in the value of money, which ought to be
the standard to measure all other articles by—a
finking of the price of land, and a suspension
of enterprise and employment, which would
on fair computation make a conliderable Joan
negotiated in our own country, twice as bur
densome, and in fa& twice as great a drain on
the wealth of the people as an Amsterdam or
Antwerp loan.—However it may be seen pro
per to attack the wisdom and purity of the
conduct of government, the public will not be
at a loss to decide that its interests have
been faithfully provided for in the case allud
ed to.
