From tiie Raleigh (N. C.J Star.
Messrs. Editors.— I send you for 1
publication a New Invention of muxs i<
n Distilling Brandy, for which I in- jc
end making application for a Patent j£
Right. As the season ftr distilling i f
ruit is now at hand, an<4 believing that j E
Farmers will find a considerable ad-1 a
vantage in pursuing this method, I'I
am filling that those who are desirous }'
of carrying it into execution shall do ! t
so, provided they consider themselves f
hound to pay the price of the Patent j
• ig'nt (in case the same shall be ob.J
tamed) whenever called on. This no-|
tiee is therefore given to all who may 1
wish to make the experiment, and at t
the same time io forwarn all persons 1
Horn making an application lor the
right which I claim as my own Inven
tion.
Have two tubs made of the same
siae,(oak timber and very thick staves)*t
place these tubs not more than 4- or 6 ! \
inches a part : the tub that contains '«
the worm of the still, in the usual way,
should be confined with a close head c
at top as well as bottom ; this may be i
done with a head crozed in alter the i
worm 13 hxed in the tub, or it may }
be done with a lid someihittg l.ke that <
of a churn, and can be taken t If should t
it be necessary :—The oihtr tub, t
which has no worm, should be fixed t
in the same way. In the side ot these t
two tubs, near the bottom, a pipe or I
tube must be fixed, that will convey <
the cider or mohby you are about to 1
distill, from one tbb.to the other. This
is to be made usr ol to keep toe spi- ]
rits co 1 w hile going through the worm .
instead of water; >nd in pice ol hi* i
ling the still with cider, as usual, you
jmust fill up the tub that has no worm, <
which will immediately carry itself in- i
to the other tub, through the pipe and <
will keep an equal height in both tubs i
until they are Idled. In the tub that I
contains the worm you must have a <
l irge coi k a lit ie higher than the top
ot your kettle, which with any little |

Mr. Croswell,
SIR,
Your being in the habit of receiving
lapers from different parts of the U
States gives yon a better chance for
niormation than I or many others can
lave on a subject peculiarly interest
ng to the United States, and to the '
celings of every American. I of
pu to give to the public all the in
ormation you have received or pos.
less on the alarming conduct of Brit
sh agents, who are endeavoring to
cad from the United Stales every
hip carpenter in it. Already have
hey taken from this village nine, and
■ a™ l°ld from Hudson thirty, and if
nj information is correct, they have
rnguged 1 OOO American Ship Carpen
ers to build ships for his majesty. I
iresume some of his majesty's dear
tnd good friends in this countrv, will
insider this a special act of kindness.
\ftcr having destroyt d our commerce

orrect, and I presume there will not

Pished gentleman Jackson, what may
