FOR SALE, BY WILLIAM MORTON, LEXINGTON. Nov. 18.

IT is time that the farmers in this country should begin to consider what kind of crops will best answer for exportation. In old settled countries the experience of ages has fixed this; the purchaser and the heir know that it is to their interest to make the same kind of crops that the persons in possession before them did; but the local situation of this country and the want of experience in the inhabitants, make it necessary for the present occupiers of the land here, to depend on their own judgments as to the kind of crops which it will be most advantageous for them to cultivate. There seems to be two objects which ought principally to fix our attention:—1st. As far as is possible to raise these articles which will be most in demand in foreign markets: and, 2d, to exert our greatest efforts to produce such articles as will best defray the expences of exportation, freight, &c. I believe it will be unnecessary to perplex ourselves with deliberating between a great number of articles—if we can properly decide between wheat, tobacco & hemp, it will be sufficient for our purpose. The Atlantic states make wheat & tobacco great quantities, so that when we carry these articles to the same foreign market which they go to, we labour under the disadvantage of paying higher freight than they do, for which there is nothing to compensate us, but the additional quantity of each article which our land will produce. This I am satisfied is so great, that it will finally enable us to undersell them in any market common to both; but until our trade shall be settled in that way which time and experience will prove to be most proper, this advantage will result to the merchant, and the farmer will not be benefited by it: it must therefore be to our interest to try to supply foreign markets with such articles of produce, as will give us no reason to apprehend a competition from the Atlantic states. Hemp seems to be of this kind; it can be raised to advantage only in a small part of those states; and even where this is the case, the farmers suppose that their local situation makes it more to their interest to turn their attention to other articles. In those countries too, particular spots only are capable of producing it to perfection: here it may be grown to the same advantage in one spot as another; there those particular spots are necessarily reserved for grass and other articles, which no other parts of their lands will produce; here all our land is so good, that any part of it is equal to the production of those articles; and there the quantity of hemp produced on the acre is very small—here it is abundant; and when we add to these considerations, that the same weight of hemp will only pay as much freight, as the same quantity of tobacco or other articles of much less value, we must be satisfied that it will be to our interest to cultivate hemp in preference to any other article of interior value. This then will leave us but one more question to decide on, when the hemp is made—Ought we to export it in its raw state, or to first to manufacture it? As it is to our interest to export hemp rather than any other article of the same weight & less value, it must for the same reason also be to our interest to export the hemp manufactured, if when in that state the same weight will produce as a greater price making the proper deduction for the expence of manufacturing it, than that quantity of raw hemp will bring. This must be determined by the prices which the unmanufactured hemp, and those which cordage and duck command in foreign markets. The average prices of hemp by the ton at Philadelphia for two years before our dispute with France, was about 65l. that currency, when cordage during the same period sold for about 110l. by the ton, and duck at a much higher price. From the difference in these prices it must be evident how materially the state is interested in exporting manufactured instead of raw hemp, unless the expence of manufacturing it should be greater than the difference of the price at foreign markets between raw and manufactured hemp. To carry on the manufacture in both its branches, would not require an addition of more than thirty workmen,
the rest of the work could be done with the labourers now in the country. Unless then the employing these labourers in these manufactures, would lessen the quantity of something that they would otherwise be employed in making for home consumption or for exportation, to the same amount, it must be right to employ them in this way; and if the fact really is, that there would be little or nothing the less made in the state in consequence of their labour being applied in this way, we should save all the difference in the price between the manufactured and the raw hemp, except what was given to the few workmen who would be brought here for that purpose—But it will be as improper to suffer ourselves to be led astray as to the real profit of these manufactures by nice calculations, as it would be in the case of domestic manufactures; because if we apply our labour in that way, we are certain that it will yield us so much: whereas there is the strongest probability that if not used in that way, will bring us profit in no other. Besides, as an importing state, we must provide adequate remittances, otherwise our real wants will soon be unsupplied; and no possible mode can be devised in which remittances can be made to as great an amount, and with as great profit as a remittance in manufactured hemp: indeed it may be safely asserted, that no state in the union possesses as valuable an article in which they can remit. Independent of its being bad policy to remit in money, the danger, the expence and the trouble of doing it, will soon be discovered to be a very serious consideration with our merchants and to have a very important effect on the prices we shall have to pay for all imported articles.—The propriety of the opinion "that the country is not yet in a proper state to carry on manufactures to advantage," has been too readily admitted. I am convinced that a proper investigation of the subject will prove, that many articles, and particularly those made of hemp, may be manufactured here upon better terms than they can be in any other part of America—The propriety of establishing, and the profit made on a manufacture, must depend—1st, on the price of provision; 2d, on the price of labour; 3d, on the price and certainty of getting a sufficient supply of raw materials; 4th, on the expence of carrying the manufacture to market; 5th, on the price given for the manufacture at the foreign market; and 6th, on the prospect of the demand for it continuing. It must be admitted by the candid reasoner, that the price of provisions necessary for labouring men, will not be near as high here as it will be in any other part of America; the advantage is the more clearly in our favor in this article.—The price of labour is finally regulated in all countries by the price of provisions, we may therefore safely calculate, after allowing for the expence of labour as far as the work is done by them. In coarse manufactures, particularly those of hemp, the greater part, if not the whole of it, may be done by slaves. This, by calculating on their first cost, the risk of their lives, and the expence of their comfortable support, will be found to be the cheapest possible way of carrying on this manufacture; and if the humane and intelligent manufacturer would allow, the slaves employed in that manner a moderate compensation for their labour, the quantum of it to depend on their exertions, he would find his profit increased by it, the present situation of the slave made more comfortable, and his utmost efforts used to increase his work, from a hope, that his share of the proceeds would, after some time, enable him to purchase
his freedom. This mode of carrying on manufactures would certainly require greater capitals, but as it would also afford much larger profits, the interest of the manufacturers would induce them either to procure those capitals, or to unite with those who have them. From this view of the subject there is no reason to be deterred from attempting any manufacture of hemp, from an apprehension that the profit will be swallowed up by the price of labour. The price of hemp itself in this country is, and always must be so much lower than in any other part of America, as to give our manufactures a decided superiority: four dollars is considered as a good price here; from eight to nine have been usually given for it there for several years: and the manufacturer there to be certain of being supplied constantly with hemp, must purchase a large stock of it at once: here he might purchase it as he had occasion for it: this circumstance would be in a great degree an indemnity to the manufacturer here, for the additional capital it would require to carry on the business with slaves. The expence of carrying any thing from this country to market will always be a considerable drawback from its value: it is a misfortune inseparable from our situation, but in proportion as the value of the export increases, so the freight which is paid on the bulk or weight will lessen. This is one of the strongest arguments in favor of manufacturing for exportation; because 100 tons of hemp which would only be worth 6,500l. at market would, at 25l. a ton for freight, charges, &c. cost us 2,500l. when 100 tons of cordage at the same freight and charges would bring us at market 11,000l. so that upon the raw hemp, the freight and charges, would amount to twenty-five sixths of the selling price of the hemp, when they would amount only to 25 out of 100 and 10 parts of the selling price of the cordage; and the difference in the clear amount of what we should receive for 100 tons of hemp and the same quantity of cordage, after deducting for the freight, charges, &c. on each, would be 4500l. and in that proportion on a larger or a smaller quantity.
It is immaterial whether the sum I have stated, is the true sum paid for freight or not; let it be what it will, if the freight is paid on the bulk or weight, the proportion and the reasoning will be the same. The price given for a manufacture at the foreign market is the foundation on which all our calculations ought to be built; and when we examine the prices given for duck and cordage, we shall find that they have been gradually rising for a great number of years: they have experienced some diminution lately, in consequence of our dispute with France; but this, it is hoped, will be but of short duration: but, let the price be what it will; it is certain, that possessed of our advantages, we can always better afford to supply the manufactures of hemp at those prices than any other state in the union. As far as we can argue from the quantity of hemp that can be produced in the Atlantic states, and from the probable extension of commerce on the return of a general peace, we have every reason to suppose, that there will be no considerable addition to the quantity of those articles furnished by those states, and that there will be a very great additional demand for them; so that we need have no apprehensions of not meeting with a ready market for all that we can manufacture. The export of tobacco and flour is attended with much greater danger, because we have found ever since the close of the American war, that a full crop of either has overstocked all foreign markets. If these positions and calculations are right, or even if the greater part of them are so, there can be no doubt but that it must be greatly to the interest of this state, to carry on extensively the manufacturing of duck and cordage. It must therefore be with pain that we see so few attempts have been made to manufacture cordage, and not one to manufacture duck; and it will be a subject very proper for enquiry, whether the last legislature acted wisely when they refused to lend the public aid, to enable a citizen to carry on the business of manufacturing duck. This shall be the subject of my next number.
CONFLAGRATION: A Poem, on the Last Day, for sale at this Office.
The following is the address of the legislative body to the French nation, moved for by gen. Jourdan.
The council of five hundred, taking into consideration the extraordinary and critical circumstances in which the Republic is placed, and deeming it the duty of the legislative body to make known to the French people the plots which have been formed for the purpose of enslaving them, and subverting the republican constitution of the third year—to declare its own sentiments and hopes, and at the same time to put the nation on its guard against the manoeuvres which may be attempted to mislead it, by the accomplices of the conspirators—has, therefore, agreed to the following resolution.—
Article 1. "The legislative body concurs in an address to the armies and the departments the purport of which is as follows:
"Frenchmen,
"It is incumbent on us to declare the truth to you, and we proceed to acquit ourselves of that duty.
"A conspiracy, which had for its object the establishment of a throne in France, and of privileges and grievances, a thousand times more odious than those which had been abolished by your will—a conspiracy always unmasked, but never destroyed, had again brought the republic to the brink of ruin. The government, by its wisdom and firmness, bailed the execution of it at the very moment that it was on the point of breaking out. But one night more, and our country would have been plunged into eternal ruin,—but one night more, and arbitrary despotism would have raised her hideous head, and erected her usurpation on the carcasses of those who, more or less, had served the cause of liberty.
"Men who had thirsted for the popular power, with the sole view of exercising it against the people, were for a long time engaged in planning the execution of that execrable project. The greater part (chiefs of the insurgents of Vendemaire) imboldened by impunity, had resumed their plots. They corresponded more audaciously than ever with the agents of the pretended Louis XVIII. The confession of one of these agents (Duverne de Presle) prove it. Their letters seized at Venice, their communications with the emigrants and the principal rebels prove it. All the documents are made public. The means by which they proposed to execute their designs, were, 1. The annihilation of all public and national spirit. 2. The assassination of every one whom they treated as suspected of patriotism, and impunity to be granted to the assassins by tribunals sold to royalty. 3. The extinction of the financial resources of the state. 4. The abatement of the government and republican institutions. 5. A civil war lighted up in different parts of the republic. 6. The destruction of internal security, and the interception of all communication thro' the country. 7. The distress of the land holders, the mechanics, and the soldiers. 8. The vigorous fabrication of all laws subversive of the constitution.
"This object and these means will not surprise, when you shall learn by the authentic pieces which have been found, that their appointments, previously ordered and regulated by private counter-revolutionary officers in almost every department, proceeded from a general plan formed and organized under the name of the Society of Legitimate Children, a society, one of whose laws was the most absolute and the blindest devotion on the part of its members to the orders of their unknown chiefs.
"We will not remind you, citizens, of the deplorable success which has resulted from their combinations. In April, a peace, an honourable and solid peace, failed on our wishes—it is removed to a greater distance. Could it have been raised on a land convulsed and ready to cover itself with blood and ruins? the national credit began to acquire consistency; the public creditors were on the point of being paid; there were no arrears due to the armies, when suddenly misery and paupery returned, and spread themselves over France; the flockholder was in despair; the inscriptions at 20 livres fell to 10; the armies were without pay & clothing. Those armies which had triumphed over Europe were

(O shameful and sorrowful reflection) compelled to subsist either by requisition or by the product of their courage; and yet a odious laugh escaped from the lips of the partisans of the counter-revolution; they every day saw the embarrassment of the government increase, and they every day increased it themselves. The most far-fetched explanations, and the most impudent perversity were deemed good means for the attainment of their end. The adherents of fanaticism were recalled: a shameful and public traffic of the craft of emigrants was declared: the citizens, terrified at their proceedings, met together, but that right was prohibited. Arms were distributed, poiniards made several were seized with rallying orders, and registers for enrolling were opened. O country! O sweet and noble sentiment of liberty, generous incentives of honor & of national pride, what became of you? O name so often profaned, of justice, morality, humanity, of social and public virtues, where did you take refuge? They existed with the armies." [The address, after stating the effects resulting from the interference of the armies with the transactions of the 4th inst. and intreating the public opinion not to be misled with respect to the conduct of the directory which it asserts has finally established the constitution of the third year, and put a period to the revolution, concludes in the following manner.]
"With respect to you, Frenchmen, it depends on your union and on your confidence to encourage us to proceed. Restored shortly to our customary labours, all our care shall be employed in closing those wounds which it was the business of our enemies to widen. The restoration of the finances, of commerce, of industry and agriculture; the relief of the indigent classes, of the hospitals, and the creditors of the state, the debts due to the immortal defenders of our country, shall claim our first attention. Peace also, that consoling peace obtained by victory, will also come we hope, to consolidate all our triumphs, and to repair all our losses. But if on the contrary the enemy should persevere in accelerating his own destruction, let the union of all good citizens, and their attachment to the constitution of the third year, produce in him despair, prove the pledge of his approaching ruin."
"Frenchmen, the unity of action is re-established between the two great powers; not that kind of unity which might result from the dependence of the one upon the other, but that which is produced by the harmony of reciprocal wishes. We have laid before you our conduct and our principles. Our lives are wholly devoted to the maintenance of the republic; we shall not tell you that we are ready to loose them in combating every faction, but we solemnly swear to you that we will overcome them."
"Article II." "The law of the 5th shall be annexed to this resolution and proclaimed with it, in all the departments and in the armies of the republic."
LONDON, September 8.
A message from the council of elders having announced that the resolution entered into yesterday, relative to the oath to be taken by the members of the new third, had passed into a law, it was instantly proposed that the oath should be taken on the spot. This motion being agreed to, the members who were present ascended the tribune, and swore hatred against royalty and anarchy, and fidelity and attachment to the constitution of the 3d year.
The ex-general Jourdan added, "I swear it on my sword."
September 9.
Guyvon made a report in the name of a special commission, at the end of which he presented the following project:
Art. 1. No ci-devant noble shall perform any legislative, administrative, municipal, or judiciary function, nor hold the place of a director, until four years after the conclusion of a general peace.
2. Every ex-noble, holding any of the above places, shall resign it within 24 hours from the publication of this resolution, on pain of being banished the republic, and his property sequestered.
3. Excepted from this law are the
ci-devant nobles who were members of the first legislative assembly, or of the convention, or obtained their places before the 1st Vendemiaire of the 4th year. Ordered to be printed and adjourned.
September 21.
Lord Malmesbury and his suite, arrived at his house in Spring Gardens yesterday forenoon.
By the letters sent on Tuesday evening to the lord mayor by Mr. Dundas, it appears that it was in consequence of an intimation from the French plenipotentiaries that Lord Malmesbury has thus quitted Lille without having accomplished the object of his mission.
Whether this be the cause or not, and whatever might have been the object of Lord Malmesbury's second journey to France, no event that has taken place during the eventful period of the last three years, has tended so much to depress the spirits of the people of every class, so much as the return of our noble negotiator, without having made peace with a power, against which sad experience has taught us, if we continue to make war, inevitable, utter ruin to this country must be the result.
Year after year has Mr. Pitt carried on this cruel conflict, in which some of the best blood has unhappily been shed, though at the commencement of each campaign he invariably found himself in a worse situation than in that which preceded it.
And yet what is our situation? what are our resources! How are we to carry on our schemes of warfare against a victorious nation, whose energy in arms does not seem to be affected by its domestic discords? a debt insupportable in any country! an exhausted treasury; taxes unproductive, manufactures decaying.—But why should we attempt to portray the wretched situation of this once flourishing country; ere long it will be presented by Mr. Pitt himself in colours sufficiently striking; for he will soon have to lay before the public a sketch, at least, of the expences that must necessarily be incurred by the continuance of the war, and a list of the new taxes which he may deem it necessary to impose on the suffering inhabitants of this country for the purpose of opposing, what in the new phraseology of parliament, are called French principles.

December 5, 1797.
WHEREAS we the subscribers believe that we have been wrong informed and misled by a certain parcel of men who held up to us the idea, that we should have four hundred acres of land (on the North West side of the Ohio) each, for ninety-nine years, on condition of our paying eight dollars per hundred for first rate, and in proportion for second or third, together with eighteen pence and a bushel of corn per hundred every year—which land they were about purchasing from the Indians. In consequence of the above representations, we subscribed our names, as agreeing to take the land on said conditions—But being since fearful that we had acted in an imprudent manner,—and understanding that they had no right to purchase lands from the Indians, it being contrary to an existing law of the United States, we applied to take off our names; but were informed that the paper was sent to the Mouth of Kentucky.—We therefore hereby make known to the public, that it was in consequence of such representations that we subscribed our names, and declare that we do not consider ourselves bound by it—and that we will have no concern whatever with said land.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, December 6.
Winthrop Sargent, Esq. acting governor of the territory N. W. of the Ohio, has directed such part of the act of Congress "to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, &c." as prohibits intrusion either by settlement or otherwise, on any lands within the limits of the United States ceded to any Indian tribe by treaty, to be published, and concludes in these words:
"It is thought proper, also, at this time, to caution all persons against settling upon the lands of the United States within the territory altho' there has been heretofore, very formal and repeated prohibition from settling upon any of the said lands; or waiting the timber thereof, yet it seems incumbent upon the executive, at this time, to reiterate that prohibition."
There appears little doubt, that the late attempts to procure settlers, by a company, said to have leased a body of land from the Indians opposite the mouth of Kentucky, were among the motives which has induced col. Sargent to make the above mentioned publication.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
Lines on the arrival of General Kosciuszko at Philadelphia.
WELCOME great Kosciuszko, to our shores— Welcome, thou advocate of freedom, here; Banish thy griefs—exult 'midst plenty's stores— And friends who know thy worth revere. Thy grand attempts to free thy native land, The wounds and full rings which have rack'd thy frame, Since bleeding Poland, stretching forth her hand, Call'd Kosciuszko to the field of fame— These recommend you to each noble mind, These tell the world your soul detested fear, These show your country knew its brightest kind And these call forth from ev'ry eye a tear. Fayette, whole many full rings rival thine, Fayette, Columbia's Kosciuszko's friend; Fayette may soon be here—he fights to join His dearest friends, where Peace and Free- dom blend. Then you with him can pass a happier day, Can tell your friend the many woes you've known, While lordly Cath'rine held tyrannic sway, Nor Paul's benevolence forgot to own. Fayette can entertain you in return, With a rehearsal of his grievous woes, Since from his friends estate, and country torn, Since the yet raging storm in Europe roars. Oh worthy visitant! may such delights As rise when friends long separated join, As cheering liberty in mortals light— May such, with many blissful years be thine.
ANECDOOTE.
A field preacher in one of the villages in England, from the strength of his lungs and length of his extemporary harangues, being for some months attended by a more numerous congregation than the parson of the parish, began to think himself the more orthodox man. Fraught with this idea, he one Sunday evening went to the vestry room, waited until the service was concluded, and very rudely attacked the clergyman, telling him that he had come to convince him, to confound him and to convert him, by the word! This was followed by the recital of a thousand texts from various parts of the scripture, so combined as to prove whatever he wished; and concluded by "this is all from the Bible, and by the Bible I desire to abide; answer me by the same book." The clergyman being a man of some humor, after hearing him with some patience, very coolly asked this laborer in the vineyard, if he recollected a text in Kings, where it is written, "Then Ahithophel set his house in order and went and hanged himself." "Certainly," replied the man, "I know it to be scripture." "Good," added the divine—"Examine the Gospel of St. Luke, and you will find, 'Go thou and do so likewise.'"

The public, I presume, has
seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and John Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass unanswered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can be legally claim a foot of property under me.—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen, if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do. B. NETHERLAND
