^HILADELPII1 A,
JUNE 9 , 1784.
Extrakl of a letter from a Gentleman of diftinguifad
literary character in MonGofc, in Scotland, io his
friend in this tif^ dated Feb. 5, 1784.
00 am exceedingly glad to hear from yen of the
l er.creafrg prolpenty and quiet of your coun
try, while our English papers represent ycu
hs in a date of anarchy, poverty and despair, ready
to courfthe yoke which you have so lately ihaken
cff. Such paragraphs are often inferred by interest
ed. people, to d^cciQ the hmple, and prevent emi
grations from this country. Large pamphlets are
Sometimes published fcr the fame purpose. Lord
Sheffield lias- published a trail, which is much cried
up by the friends of the Court in this country. His
Lordihip undertakes to prove that at any rate, and
through ire're necessity, the trade of the United
States mud be moßly with England, Ido not un
derilaml ail his details, but fufyed that his positions
are much tco flattering to be uniformly true. Be-
Gdes, there appears as yet no accomplishment of
his Lordship's predictions, and few orders for goods
for America have as yet been sent to this country.
Cur Minifers, according to their usual wisdom,
have rot as yet fettled any commercial treaty with
America, and have published a proclamation for
Carving their Weft India lilands, by prohibiting the
importation of provisions and lumber in any other
than British veflels ; the effects of which will be
quickly seen. Theimmenfe load of debt Contracid
by this nation, arid the grievous and yearly increas
ing taxes irapofed to pay the inteyelt of it, as well
as to defray the charge of public, corruption, vulgar
ly cal^d government, cats into the property ofevery
individual, o the extent of fourteen Shillings inthe
pound; and if we are led into a war next Summer,
by th: contentions betwixt Russia and the Porte,
our condition mull still be more calamitous. The
two lall seasons have been extremely hard on, the
labouring part of the, people, and multitudes of
them are willing to emigrate, ifti ey were able to
pay their passage, or could get indented on reasonable
terms. At prtleot this is not to be expelled, as
the merchants of Glasgow, who have almost a
monopoly of the trade to America, have an ieureft
in railing their freights, not only to Q their pockets,
but to keep their tradcimen at home, that they may
r ap the benefit of exporting their toanufa^urcs.
1 he freight of a cabin passenger from Greenock to
America is now more than tripled, being at present
eighteen guineas. Jfany of your ffiips could come
tothe ball Coast of Scotland with a cargo, or even
call in their return from Holland, they might find
goods fit for your market, and a number of emi
,/ants, who cannot travel to a port at two hundred
irks didance from many parts of this Coad. 7 Iris
Mould be the moll laudable way of trading in the
frmn Irecies, to take them from poverty and op
creffion to a land of liberty and plenty. It is not
likely that car Governors, notorious as they are fcr
w fdom, will adventure to make a law against emi
gratis, though they wi 1 u se all their influence in a
private manner to prevent it. But though nore
ihou'd emigrate from this country, except those
who cannot find comfortable feibfifter.ee in it, an im
nrenfe addition would be made to the population of
America, without the 1 aft hurt to Gre^t Britain,
as those left behind would reap greater advantages
from their labour, and every profeffion would not
be overstocked as at prefect. The Romans, who
were in some refpe&s a wife state, drained their
territories front time to time of the burdehfome and
htlplefs part of the lociety. But our Governors are
ftraigers to every liberal and rational sentiment,
and mind only the increase of their power and re
venue; and even these ends they are incapable of
pursuing in a rational manner. At present, the
fp.ils of India attraA their attention, and they are
contending with each other for the profits of pro
tecting the most fcar.dalous of the human species.
How their contentions will end, it is impossible. to
fay ; but we are lure it will not be for our profit. If
your government is wife, as I hope they will be,
they will take care not to fuffer private individuals
to raise their fortunes by peculation, nor fuffer the
ccuffe -efjuftice to be obftru&ed by morey. The
eventful history of our misfortunes may prove a fa-
Jotary leAure of political wisdom to them, and it
may be a fafe rule of proceeding, to order every
matter in the direct opposite way to what is done in
England. If a faithful history of the late revolution
were written, it may be a very proper School-book
for posterity, who would early be taught the benefits
of liberty and the horrors of arbitrary government.
I should think that your country would prove an
afyluni to the French Protestants, who are deprived
of the excrcife of their religion at home. This
would realize the I glorious design of the Marquis
de Quefne, which was disappointed near two hun
dred years ago, and retarded the population of
America. If your people avoid war, and encourage
religion and good manners —if they make laws con
fident with common sense and the happiness of
mankind the, will become the glory and env" of
the red of the world.”

(, An ADDRES S,
RybeTting Thursday's Riot.
'"' " £°°d Cit&eh's are desirous tn know
what account Daniel Horry, once a Colonel
in the fei vice of ibis ft'ate, can.gi ve respecting bis
conduct and character. In behalt of more worthy
men than ^urfelf, I demand (Mr, Horry) an 2n
fiver to afing.'e query. Are you not a fecund Ar
nold? Is it not, fellow rN-proteUioners, a matter of
public notoriety, that the above alluded to coward
fdid, when this city was subjugated, after being cut
l o ' digger, surrender a command his country hi-
I vetted him with, return to the Britilh, and take
' tlr.il infamous pcotiHion? —After that, the fame
Horry went to England, and resided until CorrA
I''atii^captulated. And yet a man of this damp, on
hurlday ull, dared to shew his odious counte
nance, and head a party of armed rioters, who were
in despite of, and really militated again Ethe peace
—against the conditution. Atthe rime, Mr. i^ry,
that ybu Leased out of the British den, you dis
played tire complear colours bf a despicable turn
coat. You now pretend to Purport Government,
do you ? What Government did you ever support"
