ffcls to com- out, which have renuetvoyfed in
that part; consequently nothing further will be to

The dpllow and intricate navigation of the. ports .
of Holland will afterwards be more cafily choaked -

In firm, the plan is as efficacious as it is Ample ;
and the power which we exclusively puffds to

tiance of our being the Masters of the Ocean ; a
dominion which this plan alone will enable us to
perpetuate during any number of ages. We have

ports of every country, which may dare to insult
}us, are at our mercy; The malic and the rivalry
lof France will henceforward be harmless ; we fliil

I USEFUL IMPROVEMENT.,, #
The improved Bea-Sted for which Messrs. W:
Oilman and W. Jackson have receiv d a Patent,
is deferring the attention of the community ; after
viewing the one at Mr. Wyatt's, we are of opin
ion that they have not exaggerated the fuperior
iiy of this condruaion in the advertisement. It is
h&ped that this invention which does combine
"Simplicity, ufefulnefs ^ud thefrpnefi” —will ,-
come into general demand.
bank bills./
The business of counterfeiting Bank Bills has
* for some time been going on swimmingly ; and
n&withftanding the vigilance of the civil officers
and ghe exertions of several active citizens, the
feat,of mifehief has long lain concealed, and the
credit of the banks, and.the property of individ
uals th eatened w th ruin.,: Some important in
fdrtyation having been obtained, during the two
lad ueeks arrangements were made for the ap
prehenffyof the villian^, and a: little before fun
ftc on .Sunday evening last, the important blow
was struck, which we hope will fofpend, at least
for a time, this new kind, of Banking business.
Four men were arrefled, by farprife, at the hoefe
of Mr. John Lynch, in New-Badon, in the very
ad of drifting.off the bills, and just before they
had finilhed their Sunday's work ! They had
with&iem between fifteen and twenty 'thoufand
dollars ! in bills of different descriptions, and th<
plates, on°which they,were itppreffed. The plates
and bills were, " Beverly Bapk" $0 dolors $
“ Aew.Hampfhire Bank," payable in Philadel
phia, 10 Dollars ; Boston " Union Bank," id
Dollars;,' Essex Bank,," Salem, 8 Dollars;
and " Portsmouth Bank," 4 dollars. The
pla es were extremly well executed, and the belt
judges of bills have declared, they should have
had no heStanty in receiving any of- them, had
they been tigged, and the blanks filled. Yester
day morning one other 'perfon was arrefled, and
brought to towri, who had 80 10 dollar bills of
the New-Ha'mpfhire bank, payable in Philade
lphia, 40 of which were figried, and is fappofed
to be tire person, who ha§ been the principal
tand in signing the bl s.&veral have been corn
m tied to goal, and other laid under heavy bonds
for their appeatence at the Superior court to
beholden at Hopkinton the last Tuefdiy in ft
present month. c
, Toprovide a more suitable pu'nifhment for
this crime leems to have become absolutely ne.
ceffa y;and we hope fora to fee it exciting le
gislative attention. Until this is the case, our
citizens must be continually exposed to the itn
