Advantage of PUBLIC CREDIT.
IN Great-Britain their commerce amounts annually to several hundred millions ; their national debt arises to near two hundred millions of money ; And yet, according to the opinion of every learned and accurate financier, the legal coin in that island never at any one time exceeds twenty four millions of pounds sterling money.
An Useful Improvement in the FARMING Branch, To the Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
Gentlemen,
HAVING observed in your book of premiums, your offer of a gold medal, for an account of the best method of raising calves without milk ; and having made many experiments, for these four or five years past, I am induced to become a candidate for it.
In two or three days after they are calved, I take the calves from the cows, and put them in a house by themselves ; I then give them a kind of water gruel, composed of barley about one third, and two thirds of oats, ground together very fine ; I then sift the mixture through a very fine sieve ; put into it the quantity of water mentioned below, and boil it half an hour ; then I take it off the fire, and let it remain until it is milk warm ; I then give each calf about a quart in the morning, and the same quantity in the evening, and increase it as the calf grows older—it requires very little trouble to make them drink it.
About a quart of the above meal, mixed with three gallons of water, is sufficient for twelve calves in the morning, and the same quantity in the evening. I increase the quantity in proportion as they grow older.
By this method I have reared between fifty and sixty beasts within these four years ; forty of which I now have in my possession, having sold of the others as they became of a proper age ; and by the same method calves may be raised with a trifle of expence.
I am, gentleman, your humble servant, WILLIAM BUDD.
This account was deemed fully satisfactory, and the Gold Medal was accordingly adjudged to Mr. Budd.
The MONITOR.
THE attentive observer will readily perceive the aptitude of the following observations, at this day, when the depravity of our youth is so glaringly notorious—to endeavour to remedy it is laudable.
"Youth is of no long duration, and in maturer age when the enchantments of fancy shall cease, and phantoms of delight dance no more about us, we shall have no comforts but the esteem of wise men, and the means of doing good.
That the highest degree of reverence should be paid to youth, and that nothing indecent should be suffered to approach their eyes, or ears, are precepts extorted by sense and virtue from an ancient writer, by no means eminent for chastity of thought.
Youth is the time of enterprise and hope, having yet no occasion for comparing our force with any opposing power, we naturally form presumptions in her own favour, and imagine that obstructions and impediments will easily give way before us.
J. J. ROSSEAU, Citizen of Geneva, his Opinion on DUELLING.
DO not confound the sacred name of honor with this brutal prejudice, which places all the virtues in the point of the sword, and is proper only to make brave villains.
In what does this prejudice consist ? In the most extravagant and barbarous opinion that ever entered into the human mind ; namely, that all the duties of society are supplied by bravery ; that a man is no longer a knave, a villain, or a slanderer ; is humane, polite, and has every good quality, when he will fight ; that a lie becomes truth, robbery becomes lawful, perfidy becomes honest, and infidelity laudable, when supported sword in hand ; that an affront is always repaired by a lunge, and that a man is never injured, provided he is killed.
The most valiant heroes of antiquity never dreamed of revenging their personal injuries, by single combat ; did Cæsar ever send a challenge to Cato, or Pompey to Cæsar, for so many reciprocal affronts ? or was the greatest Captain of Greece dishonoured by suffering himself to be threatened with a cane ? Different times, different customs : I know it ; but, are there now none but good ones ; and may one not enquire, whether these customs are such as real honor requires ? No ; honor is invariable ; it does not depend on prejudices ; it can neither decay nor be revived ; it has an eternal source in the heart of the just man, and in the unalterable rule of his duties.
with it. What would a man do, who is willing to comply with it, in places where a contrary custom prevails ? At Messina, or Naples, he would wait for a man at the corner of a street, and stab him behind ; in these countries this is called bravery, and honour does not consist in being killed yourself by your enemy, but in killing him.
The just man whose life is spotless, and who will never shew the least mark of cowardice, will refuse to soil his hands with manslaughter, and will on that account be the more honored ; ever ready to serve his country, protect the helpless, fill the most dangerous duties, and to defend, on every just and honorable occasion, what is dear to him at the expence of his life ; all his actions are accompanied with that unshaken firmness, which true courage alone possesses.
Men who are easily affronted, and so ready to offend others, are for the most part very dishonest people ; who, for fear the world should shew them openly the contempt in which they are held, attempt to hide the infamy of their whole lives, by some affairs of honor.
Such an one makes an effort, and presents himself once, to obtain a right to hide himself the rest of his life ; true courage has more constancy, and less eagerness ; is always what it ought to be ; and wants neither to be excited, nor restrained. The good man possesses it every where : In battle against the enemy ; in company, in favour of the absent and truth ; in his bed against the attacks of pain and death.
PHILADELPHIA, (Pennsylvania) July 11.
By arret of the King's Council of state, of the 28th December, 1786, it is ordered, That the free port established by the arret of the 30th August, 1784, in the port of Point-Petre, in the island of Gaudaloupe, for the importation of the foreign merchandise, permitted by the said arret, shall be transferred, after the first of May, 1787, to the port of Basseterre under the penalties imposed by the said first of May, foreign vessels shall be admitted only at the said port of Basseterre under the penalties imposed by the said arret of the 30th August, 1784 ; which, in all other respects, shall be executed according to its form and tenor.

By arret of the King's Council of state, dated Versailles the 11th February, 1787, it is ordered, that from 1st May, 1787, to the 1st October, 1790, the duty of five livres Tournois, per quintals on codfish and salt fish, imported by foreigners into the free ports of the French Windward and Leeward Islands, imposed by the arret of the 25th September, 1785, shall be raised to eight livres Tournois.

UNIVERSALIS M.
IN Adamantine Chains shall Death be bound, And Hell's grim tyrant, feel th' eternal wound, The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away, But fix'd his Word, his saving pow'r remains, The realm for ever last, thy own MESSIAH reigns.

EDINBURGH, (Scotland) Feb. 17. On the 17th current, the workmen, digging in the free-stone quarry on the sea side, upon the Musselburgh road, came upon a pine-tree, completely petrified in the heart of the rock. The impression on the branches, leaves, and pine-cones, are beautifully indented in the rock.
March 26. A few days since the wife of Mr. Sedgley, of Salisbury, was brought to bed of her twenty-fourth child.
AUGSBURG, (Germany) April 15. It is said that some Moravian regiments have received orders to advance towards the Frontiers, and that the frontier troops will form an army of 80,000 men; that France has declared, that in case Russia persists in her views of aggrandizement to the prejudice of the Porte, and that a rupture should ensue, his Christian Majesty would be obliged to interpose.
DUBLIN, (Ireland) May 1. A Letter from Dingle, dated March 14, says, 'A night or two since a vessel from America with flax seed and slaves, was in a violent gale of wind stranded near this town; the crew and passengers were saved except two or three, and so would the cargo, but the brutality of the country people, who, before any assistance could reach the wreck, plundered it (as it is supposed) of 350 hogheads of flax-seed. A party of the 21st regiment having marched from hence for the preservation of the vessel and cargo, amidst a violent shower of rain, no sooner appeared than they were attacked by the country people, and the extreme wet having rendered their arms unserviceable, were obliged to retreat, with a number severely hurt, and the loss of their arms.'
'The mob, as I am confidently assured amounted to at least from three to four thousand people.'
L O N D O N, May 15. Extract of a letter from Scilly, dated March 20. Yesterday afternoon arrived the Phoenix Revenue Cutter from a cruise, and has brought in with her the hull of a large American bark, with 120 hogheads of tobacco on board, but very leaky. The cutter fell in with the said bark about two leagues to the westward of this place, when she had not one person on board, so that it is imagined the crew had taken to their boats for safety.'
A remarkable circumstance happened at Timbury, in Somerset:—Robert White was married on Tuesday the first of May to Betty Harris, of Stanton, who was brought home on Wednesday, took in labour on Thursday, safely delivered of three children on Friday, who all died on Saturday, and were buried on Sunday.
A remarkable instance of the hand of providential justice was exhibited last Monday at Hoxton.—On the Saturday previous to that day, a man took the diabolical resolution of destroying his wife and children; to perpetrate which, he brought a leg of mutton, and rubbed it over with a considerable quantity of arsenick; so done, he took it home, and told his wife to dress the mutton on Sunday, and as he did not expect to be at home, he desired that she and the children might eat it, without waiting for him. On Sunday the mutton was dressed, but he not coming home, his wife, not willing to eat it without his being at dinner, made some yeast dumplings for herself and children, and left the mutton uneaten. He did not return that evening, and still the leg of mutton remained whole; but on Monday he came home, and brought with him a few flat fish (as supposed to save appearance of guilt, expecting his family to be poisoned). On seeing his wife, he, somewhat agitated, asked her if she and the children were in health—and being answered that they were very well, he asked whether they had eaten the mutton? The wife told him it had been dressed, but he not coming home they had made their dinner on dumplings, and the mutton they had not touched. At that answer he appeared much vexed; and surly ordered his wife to dress him some of the flat-fish. She immediately dressed him three, and he sat down and eat them. Directly afterwards in great confusion he asked his wife in what she had fried the fish, and being told in the dripping from the mutton which had been dressed on Sunday, he exclaimed, "Then I am a dead man."—He then made a full confession of his wicked intention and in two hours after he expired in great agonies.
WILMINGTON, (Delaware) July 4. Extract of a letter from a correspondent in St. Eustatius, dated June 7, 1787.
"I wrote a few days since, by the way of Philadelphia, nothing the effects likely to take place in consequence of a late prohibition of all communication with the English Islands; it is actually the case, and days are advertised in each Island when it shall commence. Some are allowed 3 days, some more, to look round. St. Christo-
phers, it is said this morning, has 30 days to get a supply; and it is impossible for us to tell the consequences: but if the states submit tamely to it, they are certainly able to do the whole, and our vessels may immediately be destroyed.—There will be spirited remonstrances on account of another act of Parliament, which obliges them to have two thirds white seamen. Mr. Pyle's Bermuda sloop, is seized in consequence of being navigated by Negroes—it will severely affect the Bermudians who navigate altogether with Negroes."
PHILADELPHIA, July 13. Yesterday a cause was tried in the supreme court, in which the leading question was, whether interest should be allowed, during the war, upon a bond due from a citizen of America to a British subject? when it was unanimously given in charge to the jury, by four judges, that upon accounts which only carried interest in consequence of the usage among traders in time of peace, the circumstances of the war were sufficient to destroy the usage; and that upon bonds and obligations bearing interest from the nature of the contract, the interest should cease from the invasion of the British, and be revived at the date of signing the preliminary articles of peace. This opinion of the court must have a decisive effect upon many actions now depending.
N E W - Y O R K, July 19. By the UNITED STATES in CONGRES assembled, July 12, 1787.
Resolved, that all officers in the line of the late army, who may be intitled to pensions, in pursuance of the acts of Congress in their behalf made, shall, previous to the receipt of such pensions, deposit, with the proper officers appointed to discharge the same in the state in which they reside, a certificate from the commissioner of army accounts, purporting that no balance is due from the claimant to the United States.
CHARLES THOMPSON, sec'y. Since the 4th inst. the Hon. the Congress of the United States have been sitting in this city. The most important business which has employed this august body, since the date, is, a resolve respecting pension officers, an ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States, north-west of the river Ohio, and the election of a GOVERNOUR, or governors, for said territory.
P O R T L A N D, (Mass.) July 13. Separation is now all the rage. A proposed form of government hath been lately forwarded to the selectmen of this town. We shall endeavor to obtain it for publication, as it is said to be a very extraordinary production.
B O S T O N, July 27. An Irish paper of June 5, brought by the May, Captain Glaicott, contain the following paragraphs;
London May 30. Letters have been received by a Dutch merchant in the city, which positively asserts, that the patriotick party, elated with their success in the second rencontre with their opponents, had proposed to the count Witzerstein to make a very formal declaration of hostilities against the prince stadholder; but that general had prudently declined giving an immediate answer to so important a proposition, and is exerting every means in his power to conciliate the unhappy differences subsisting between the jarring parties.
The late empress of Russia, in one of her wars, was in want of men. One of her ministers advised her to apply to the church, which she accordingly did, and in a few months drew from it a body of 30,000 soldiers, who had been employed only as musicians in the different churches of the empire. Did our government possess a similar power to draft men from our cities, or from useless and destructive speculation, to agriculture instead of arms, there is reason to believe the same number of men would be added to the farmers of the United States.—The earth is the natural mother of the children of men.—If commerce has frowned upon them, or fed them with coarse fare, let them carry their complaints to their natural parent, and she will redress them. If she refuses to give them great wealth it is because it will be hurtful to them. But she in no instance refuses to give them health, competence and contentment, which are the greatest blessings in life, and which the luxurious and splendid citizen often sighs for in vain.
By letters from Lisbon, we learn, that, an insurrection has lately happened in that city, on account of new taxations, in which many citizens were wounded.
Advices from Algiers state, that the plague still continues to make the most dreadful ravages in that city, where upwards of 10,000 people have been carried off in the course of the last three months.
The Supreme Executive of this Commonwealth, have been pleased to grant a further respite of Seven Weeks, to Parmach, McCulloch, Gale and
Shattuck, under sentence of Death for TREASON, who were to have been executed on Thursday next.
The Spaniards are augmenting their Navy, and putting it on the most respectable establishment: They have launched since the peace of 1783, Eleven Ships of the Line, one of which is of 100 Guns, one of 86, two of 80, and the others of 70 Guns each.
The Hon. General Society of Cincinnati, convened in the city of Philadelphia in May last, were pleased to elect his Excellency Marquis de Bouille, Governor in chief of all the islands of his Most Christian Majesty in the West-Indies, an honorary member of said society. This gallant and distinguished nobleman's patriotism and friendship for America, having been repeatedly evinced, as to justify and prompt to this grateful and polite consideration of that band of worthies—whose honor and prosperity is unfeignedly wished by every liberal American, and many European powers.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman belonging to this town, dated Fort-Pitt, June 25th, 1787.
"The surveys will not be carried on this season; the Indians have confederated, and are determined to oppose the measure: They have lately sent in a speech to the Superintendent, and one for Congress—They wish to have a General Council held; and say that all that has been heretofore done on the subject of relinquishing Indians rights, &c. is of no effect, it having been done by some of their people who were not authorized to do it. It is the opinion of the people in this country, that this conduct of the Indians is owing to their having been informed, that no troops were to be sent out to reinforce Col. Harmer."
"Col. Harmer, with his regiment, agreeably to the orders of the Secretary at War, marched 3 days since, for Post St. Vincents, near 700 miles from this—in order to dispossess some persons who have sat down at that post, contrary to the ordinance of Congress." What think ye of disbanding the federal army now?
The citizens of Rhode-Island, one day view the Governor sitting in the chair of government, and the next day may see his Excellency in his Blacksmith's shop, completely equipped for a hot engagement. At the celebration of the anniversary of American Independence, in New-Jersey, the sons of liberty it is said had express orders from the Governor to fire but twelve cannon , and to drink but twelve toasts .
P O R T S M O U T H, July 28. Nothing authentic has yet transpired from the Hon. Federal Convention. It is said however, that they are out on Committees. It is not doubted, that, when those committees report, some important resolutions—resolutions which may be big with the fate of America—will be adopted and made public.
The orthodox sentiments of the day upon political subjects, seem to be the following, viz. That government at all events shall be supported with dignity.—The confederation must be strengthened—Democracy should be seasoned at least, with Aristocracy, if not with Monarchy—Temperance, frugality and industry, are essentially necessary to our political salvation.—Pride in her gaudy dress will be preferred to simplicity of manners—No legislature has a right to interfere in contracts of a private nature—Paper money ever was, is, and ever will be, the hobby horse of knavery—Every one must take care of himself—Necessity requires that political opinions should be squared to private views—Commerce must take the lead, agriculture next follow, and manufactures should bring up the rear—All attempts to be politicians—Genuine liberty terminates in licentiousness—Lawyers must be Esquires, legislators—In short, the reigning politics of the times ever was, is, and shall be right.
Died since our last, Mr. John Pain, of this town, aged 68 years.

American Receipt to cure CORNS. Take the rind off a slice of bacon, and a slice thereof apply to the part affected; remove it once in twenty four hours.—The corn cured or taken out this way will never appear again. Seven years experience has evinced this.

The Hypocrite's Hope.
B LEST is the man, who from the womb, To saintship him betakes, And when too soon his child shall come, A long confession makes. When next in broad church alley, he Shall take his former place, Relates his past iniquity, And consequential grace. Declares how long by Satan vex'd, From truth he did depart, And tells the time and tells the text, That smote his flinty heart. He stands in half away cov'nant sure, Full five long years or more; One foot in church's pale secure, The other out of door. Then riper grown in gifts of grace, With every rite complies, And deeper lengthens down his face, And higher rolls his eyes. He tones like Pharisee sublime, Two lengthy prayers a day, The fame that he from early prime, Had heard his father say. Each Sunday perch'd on bench of pew, To passing priest he bows, Then loudly mid the quav'ring crew, Attunes his vocal nose. With awful look then rises flow, And pray'rsul visage sour, More fit to fright the apostate foe, Then seek a pard'ning pow'r. Then nodding hears the sermon next, From priest harranguing loud; And doubles down each quoted text, From Genesis to Judge. And when the priest holds forth address, To old ones born anew; With holy pride and wrinkled face, He rises in his pew. Good works he careth nought about, But faith alone will seek, While Sunday's pieties blot out The knaveries of the week. He makes the poor his daily pray'r; Yet drives them from his board; And though to his own good he swear, Through habit breaks his word. This man advancing fresh and fair, Shall all his race compleat, And wave at last his hoary hair, Arrived in Deacon's seat. There shall he all church honors have, By joyous brethren given, 'Till priest in fun'ral sermon grave, Shall send him straight to heaven.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12. A curious EXPERIMENT well worth the notice and attention of every farmer in America.
Joseph Cooper, Esquire, of New Jersey, planted in his garden, fourteen grains of wheat that was brought from the Cape of Good Hope, in the ship Empress of China, Captain John Green, in the year 1785. Seven grains of which were lost by some accident; the produce of the remaining seven grains, he sowed in the fall of 1785, at the same time, and in the same field, that he sowed his common wheat, but carefully kept them apart; by which experiment, he found that the Cape wheat came to perfection at least ten days earlier than the wheat of this country - and its quality to excel any thing of the sort introduced amongst us. After threshing and cleaning he measured it, and found one bushel and five eights of a bushel, which weighed 109 3/4 pounds avoirdupoise, which is something more than sixty-seven pounds four ounces per bushel.
Of 1000 grains of the wheat taken as they came to hand, the largest weighed thirty-three penny weights troy; from which data we find the whole quantity to amount to 874,438 grains, and the number contained in a bushel, Winchester measure, to contain 538,116 grains - an increase almost beyond conception.
BOSTON, July 24. Our trade with Great-Britain seems to be taking a favorable turn - Capt. Callahan, of the ship Lucretia on his arrival in this port, the 16th inst. entered at the naval office four thousand dollars in specie, which were cleared out at the custom-house in London for this place.
