APHIS is not the only thing he cuts.
His father, whom the midnight

"and taylor's (hops. 'Tother day he
ahuld order a Landlord to serve up
.two fibcreels and a partridge ; now he
istemperate enough ; what the hired fer
'tints can spare he can eat—even bifks
ate better than hunger. But, by all the
Saints in fickle fortune's Calendar,
whence this whimsical change ? He

For THE EAGLE.
A Machine for waning of Wheat, lately
invented for Mills.
IT confits of a box twelve feet long,
eighteen inches wide, and fix feet
high—playing on the centre upon an
axle,for easily delivering the contents to
a drying floor.
Being filled with Wheat and water,
the whole is set in motion by a rake
with a long handle, and teeth about
fourteen inches long.
An half door at one end delivers the
foul and swimming Wheat, &c. and
a whole door, at the other end, delivers
the cleaned grain.
One thousand bushels may be washed
in a day.
A drying floor may be made of laths,
well plained, and nailed so close as to
permit a passage for air from below,
and yet not fufficiently wide to lose the
Wheat.

EVERY housekeeper may make

Sugar is clarified, by putting a small
quantity, either of blood, milk, or eggs,

Eggs are to be preferred, as one will
clarify a large quantity of syrup— The
egg must be beatfirft in a small quanti

together.
After mixing this egg and water
with the cool syrup, let the whole be

CIRC TAR of the COLLECTORS
of the CusroMS.
Philadelphia, August 4th, 1793.
Si R,
IT appearing that repeated contraven
tion of our neutrality has taken place
in the ports of the United States, with
out hating been difeovered in time for
prevention or remedy, I have in com
mand from the President, to address
to thfc iteolleffors of the refoedive dif
trids a particular inftrudion on the
fubje&l
It is expected that the officers of the
customs in each diftreft, will in.courfe
of their official functions, have a vigi
lant eyrupon whatever may be passing
within the ports, harbors, creeks, inlets
and waters of such diftrift of a nature
to contravene the laws of neutrality,
and upon difeovery of any thing of the
kind, will give immediate notice to the
governor of the state and to the attorney
of the judicial diftrid, comprehending
the diftria of the customs within which
any such contravention may happen.
To^ffift; the judgment of the officers
on this head, I transmit herewith a
schedule cif rules, concerning sundry
partic&rev which have been adopted
by the, President, as deductions from
the laws of neutrality, established and
received among nations. Whatever
(hall be contrary to these rules will, of
course, be to be notified, as abovemen
tioned. ,
There are some other points, which,
ptirfuant to our treaties and the deter
mination of the executive, I ought to
notice you.,.
If any vessel of either of the powers at
war with France should bring or fend
within your diftrift a prize made of the
fubjeft, people or property of France,
ft is immediately to be notified to the
Governor of the state, in order that
meafuresmay be taken, pursuant to
the seventeenth article of our treaty
with France, to oblige such vessel and
her prize, or such prize when sent in
without the capturing vessel, to de
part•
No privateer of any of the powers at
war with France, coming within the
diftria of the United States can by the
twentyfecond article of our treaty with
France, enjoy any other privilege than
that of purchasing such victuals as (hall
be necessary for her going to the next
port of the province or state from which
(he has her commfflion. I& (he should
do any thing beside this, it is immedi
ately to be reported to the governor and
the attorney of the diftrift. You will
observe by the rules transmitted, that
the term privateer is understood not to
extend to vessels armed for merchan
dize and war, commonly called with ua
letters of marque, nor of course to vef
fe.ls of war in immediate service of the
government of either of the powers at
war.
No armed vessel which has been or
(hall be originally fitted out in any port
of the United States by either of the
parties at war is henceforth to have asy
lum in any diftrift of the United States.
If any such armed vessel (hall appear
within your diftrid (he is immediately
to be notified to the governor and at
torney of the diftrift ; which is also to
be done in refred to any prize, that
such armed veffellhall bring or fend in.
At foot is P Pftnffndyarmed r ^„[^_
the above description as have hitherto
come to the knowledge of the execu
tive.
The purchafin^ within, and export
ing from the United States, byway of
merchandize articles commonly called
contraband (being generally,warlike in
struments and military floret) is free to
all the parties at war, and is not to be
interfered with. If our own citizens
undertake to carry them to any of those
parties they will be abandoned to the
penalties which the laws of war autho
rife.
You will be particularly careful to
observe and to notify as directed in
other instances, the case of anv citizen
of the United States, who (hall be found
in the service ofeither of the parties at
war.
In case any vessel (hall be found in
the ad of contravening any of the rules
or principles which are the ground of
this inftrudion, (he is to be refufed a
clearance until (he (hall have complied
with what the governor (hall have de
cided in reference to her. Care,
however, is to be taken in this, not un
neffarily or unreasonably to embarrass
trade or to vex any of the parties con.
cerned.
In order that contraventions may be
the better afeertained, it is desired that
the officer who (hall firft go on board
any vessel arriving within your diftrift,
(hall make an accurate survey of her
then condition, as to military equip
ments, to be forthwith reported to you,
and that prior to her clearance a like
survey be made, that any transgression
of the rules laid down be afeertained.
But as the propriety of any such in
fpeftion of a vessel of war in the imme
diate service of the government of a
foreign nation is not without question
in interference to the usage of nations,
no attempt is to be made to infpe& any
such vessel till further order on the
point.-
The President desires me to Ggnify to
you his most particular expectation that
the inftrudion contained in this letter
will be executed with the ^reateft vigi
lance, activity, care, and impartiality.
Omission will tend to expose the govern
ment to injurious imputations and sus
picions, and proportionably to commit
the good faith and peace of the coun
try ; objeßs of too much importance
