"A meeting of Ministers is to be held to unite in forming a general religion for the United States."
LAST SPT.
It is a melancholy consideration that in this liberal age and in this country, we should be reminded of a maxim, that always applied before, but to which every one wished there might now be an exception—"that priests of all religions are the same." They seem almost always to have acted as if religion was their property, to mould and fashion as they please: to loan it, to sell it, or to fund it. By the last Spt they propose to introduce a new religion into the United States; and one of their own manufacture too. Why should these reverend gentlemen wish to do this?—Have we not a religion already made to our hands, that answers all our purposes, and which with deference to their superior judgments is equal to any they may be supposed to agree in? What necessity can there be for abolishing christianity? It comforts in distress, gives a zeth to prosperity, and ensures eternal happiness in a future world—and not only so, but in every age has made a handsome and even large provision for its clergy. Dean Swift, it was supposed, had so fully shown the absurdity of abolishing christianity, that it would not be attempted after his time. But our ministers it seems must have a new religion, not for themselves, only, but for the whole of the United States also. They have not given us any principles to determine what kind of a religion, this new one will be. They have a great choice. They may borrow a paradyce from Mahomet—Bacchus with all his rites may be adopted—The Egyptian God Apis may be worshipped, and for their service whole Hecatombs be sacrificed to him—The transmigration may be fully and faithfully believed, as the best way to prove the uninterrupted succession. Some part of the religion of the Bramins of India may be introduced, particularly their extreme ab-

slinence and abhorrence of animal food; unless the present age be too observant. The whole amount of Gods may be seven or twelve at utmost; these two being the great mystical numbers: Mammon should not be one of them for obvious reasons.—But they may think this is intrusion, and we wish not to overstep the most fastidious bounds of reverence for them.

BERLIN, April 12.
On the 8th inst. two couriers arrived here from London within a few hours of each other, who brought the determination of the Cabinet of London, respecting the Russian war. We are given to understand, that the Court of London has promised to send an English fleet into the Baltick towards the end of April. As soon as these dispatches were known, the members of the cabinet were immediately sent for by the King to Potsdam, where they staid until the next day and if we may judge from the orders that have been since issued, their determination must be to prosecute a war.
LONDON, April 30, to May 1. The operations of the TURKISH ARMIES for the fourth campaign, are arranged as follows:
The whole army is to be divided into two bodies, one of which is to cover the pass at Mount Hæmus, while the other will endeavour to penetrate as far as Kilia Nova, at the mouth of the Danube.
The naval forces are to be collected near Verna, leaving a small squadron to guard the entrance of the Danube. The Turkish Admiral who is to act under the direction of an English officer of great Naval skill is to sail towards the Crimea, with a view to engage the Russian Fleet.
The King of France is so closely watched, that unless he hides himself in a straw cart like a Gustavus Vasa; or like the flying Hugonots, is packed up in a chest or hamper, he has no chance of getting free from the land of liberty.
As the French King is denied common right for liberty, very little confidence should be placed in what he signs or publicly says; for he is forced to write and speak just as the ring leaders of the mob dictate. Providence has, indeed, sent one of the Wat Tylers out of this world; but there are many more to be extirpated before France can be really free.
LIVERPOOL, May 7.
The Irish Fishery is improving, and promises to become an object of great national advantage. The mode of curing the roe of the cod, as practised in Spain, has been adopted with much success.
Extract of a letter dated London May 4. To the Members of the Russia Company.
“The Governor of the Russia Company, accompanied by Mr. Peters, and Mr. Godfrey Thornton, having been honored by his Majesty's Ministers, with a conference on the subject of the present state of the trade to the Russian ports, are authorized to inform the members of the Company, and the Gentlemen concerned in shipping, that there appears a great degree of probability that ships sailing from hence under such circumstances, as would enable them to leave the Russian ports with their cargoes by the end of June, or the middle of July, would not be endangered by reason of any event of the present negotiations with the Court of Petersburg.
PLYMOUTH, April 27.
In an advertisement specifying the want of able men to make an embarkment against the sea in Norfolk, it is mentioned that any number of good bands may hear of full employ, by applying to Mr. Edward Alibody.
Vails still keep their fashion on the bonnets of the fair, but the texture of their materials is ingeniously suited to the different degrees of beauty in the wearer. Coarse and thick substance
obscure coarse and thick skins, and fine and transparent ones softly shade fine and transparent complexions— Probatum est.
On Saturday last the annual silver Cup, given by the Right Hon. the Earl of ORFORD, was run for in Houghton Park, by ninety greyhounds, and won by Mr. BLYTH, of Bircham Newton. After the diversion, near 500 persons were entertained with great hospitality, in the old English style, by the noble Earl; amongst those present were, Sir CHARLES DAVIS, Mr. COKE, Col. ORCHARD, Mr. CALL, and other gentlemen of the House of Commons.
KINGSTOWN, May 23.
THE Vulture, Clough, from Bonny, is arrived at Montego bay.—An insurrection of the slaves took place on the passage, and before it could be quelled, the chief mate, the surgeon, cook and two seamen, were sacrificed. Of the slaves, about 50 were killed or jumped overboard.
LANSINGBURGH, June 17. In Eastersey the Hessian fly is making great ravages among the winter grain; with us the cankerworm spreads a general destruction among the fruit trees, and the very oaks are made leafless by them. The number, in this part of the country, was never known so great.
PITTSBURGH, JUNE 18.
From different parts of this country we learn, that a species of worms have made their appearance in the meadows and grain fields, and totally destroyed the grass, and injured the grain in many places. The meadows in the neighbourhood of this place are almost totally destroyed. We understand that a number of cattle has died by pasturing on the meadows where these worms had been.
GEORGETOWN, June 29.
On Monday last the PRESIDENT of the United States, agreeable to appointment, arrived in this town, where he was met by the honorable Thomas Johnson, Daniel Carroll, Esquire, and doctor Stewart, commissioners appointed to superintend the survey of the permanent seat of government.
Yesterday the PRESIDENT, attended by the commissioners, and a great cavalcade of gentlemen, viewed and selected the situation for the federal buildings.
And, this day the proprietors of the federal ground, collected for that purpose, signed deeds of conveyance, in trust, to the mayor and recorder of this town, for their respective possessions, within the lines of the federal city; after which, the PRESIDENT was pleased to point out the following situations for the public buildings, viz. the houses belonging to the legislative department, on a rising ground known by the name of Jenkin's Hill, on the east side of Goose-Creek, the property of Daniel Carroll, jun. esquire. The houses for the executive department, on a rising ground in that part of the federal city called Hamburg, near Burnes' Gate, about two miles distant from the first mentioned buildings—and the other public edifices, exchange, offices, &c. to be distributed between the above two mentioned situations.
A correspondent inform, that a speculating gentleman who made large purchases of Federal City lots, has in contemplation to import from Europe, four thousand hands! viz. Brick-makers, stone-cutters, masons, carpenters, &c. to build a number of elegant edifices; the plans of which for some time past have engaged his whole attention and time.—What think you of the Federal City now?
PHILADELPHIA, June 30. Extract of a letter received by the morning Star, from Amsterdam, dated April 22.
“It is said that peace is concluded between Russia and the Porte—the Empress to have the Crimea and Oczakow; and the Emperor of Germany, Belgrade,—This intelligence appears to be true, as all goods, ordered to be shipped when hostilities cease, are now
directed to be sent on board as soon as possible.
We hear that one thousand shares in the Bank of the United States, by the last account from that place, are already subscribed by the Citizens of South-Carolina, principally by the merchants and others of Charleston. Between seven and eight thousand dollars, part of the specie deposit, were lodged in the Bank of North-America this week by William Smith, Esquire.
A subscription for two thousand four hundred shares in Boston, was filled in four days, and the specie deposit, amounting to sixty thousand dollars, paid into the Massachusetts Bank.
European politics have for some time past been involved in clouds and thick darkness. Great-Britain, not long since incurred an enormous expence to arm the nation—to negotiate —that negotiation it is said turned out favourably for them—but whether the advantages counterbalanced the cost, has never appeared.—They are now arming again; some letter manufacturers on this side of the water , say this is all king-craft to divert the people from revolution-making, and to prevent the contagion of the French fever—the ostensible object, however, is to preserve the balance of power , by preventing Catharine from adding to her immense dominions the empire of Turks. Commercial doucurs have doubtless been tendered to the British government by the Porte, to induce this interference; there is every probability that they will interfere; whether successfully or not is uncertain—the prospect is in favour of a peace between the Belligerent powers without another campaign. There is, however, a very great opposition in England to a Russian war. Some of those ideas have been called up which would have operated against the Turks a century ago, but at this day, the only object with nations is to promote their immediate interest , at the sacrifice of every other consideration.
Our allies of France are pursuing the work of reformation—the revolution is a great work—and though it has been long in hand, we ought to remember that its objects are immense. Nothing less than to regenerate twenty-five millions of souls! and this regeneration has respect, not only to turning these 25 millions from darkness into light, and to transform them from idolators of the Church , the Pope , and the Grand Monarque , that they may become enemies to all idols —but it also includes the idea of annihilating all factitious merit, and titles of honor and nobility founded on such fallacious ideas—to which, by precept, education and habit, the people of France have for a series of ages been accustomed and attached—this regeneration also respects the mercantile character which the French nation is to assume, and there is no doubt at all that this great transformation will take place—but then it will require time, except political regeneration is like ELECTRICITY which indeed seems to be the case.
The Emperor of Germany, by pursuing a different line of conduct from that adopted by his brother Joseph , has tranquilized his dominions for the present ; but some appearances seem to indicate that the embers of insurrection are but slightly covered, and that the first untoward wind that blows, will puff them into a flame. Whether Leopold will desert Catharine, is uncertain—some accounts wear that complexion; others say he never will abandon so faithful and powerful an ally.
The petty states of Germany, who were affected in their property by the French revolution, and appeared to be making preparations to assert and vindicate their claims, according to some late French paragraphs, have had their demands liquidated, and no apprehensions are entertained of their attempting any thing hostile to the revolution. An article has, however, appeared in a late paper, purporting that M. de Conde had assembled an army of 10,000 men in the neighbourhood of the fron-
tiers—time, the great interpreter, will ascertain the truth of all reports.
For the last fifty years the world has been amused with the dreary anticipations of gloomy speculatists, who have been continually predicting of the downfall of the credit of Great-Britain—but, judging from the past , there is no great reason to conclude that the experience of the future will sanction the dreams of such visionaries. The present Prime Minister (Mr. Pitt) has absolutely checked the accumulation of the national debt: He has sunk more than six millions of the capital during his administration, which is as great a rate as is compatible with the real, essential interests of that people. For let any one soberly reflect on the probable consequences which would result from suddenly paying off with specie the whole debt of Great-Britain, and they will be convinced that a national bankruptcy would not produce greater mischiefs than such an immense influx of the precious metals as would in that case inundate the country.
JULY 1.
Accounts from the Westward inform, that no Indians have been seen, or heard of, on the frontiers of this state for 3 or 4 weeks past. That the continental troops rendezvoused at Pittsburgh, have left that place, and proceeded down the Ohio though their particular destination was not known.
JULY 6. —The Commissioners appointed to receive subscriptions for the Bank of the United States, were yesterday relieved from their embarrassment, respecting the regulation of the business so as to avoid partiality, by the voluntary consent of all the persons who appeared entering into an agreement, to deduct an average of about 20 per cent. from the amount of their proposed subscriptions. By this mean an accommodation took place. There had been offers for 4,600 shares more than the complement, and it was agreed that those who proposed from 5 to 9 shares should have one deducted; from 9 to 15 two; from 15 to 19, three; from 19 to 24, four; from 24 to 28, five; and from 28 to 30, six shares deducted.
HARTFORD, June 27.
It is with regret we mention the ravages made by the cankerworms in various parts of the country this summer. We are told that in Newhaven county, and in the river towns through Massachusetts, Vermont, and New-Hampshire, and in the eastern part of Massachusetts about Boston, the apple trees are stripped of their foliage by these destructive animals; and, in some places, the oaks and elms have not escaped the same fate. Perhaps the oldest living cannot remember a season when these worms have appeared in such multitudes, and made such havoc with fruit trees. In many instances, the usual remedy of tarring trees has proved ineffectual.
BENNINGTON, June 20.
Some time since we published an account that the British had withdrawn their guards from the posts they had formerly holden in this state: The publication was made in consequence of information received from a gentleman who had recently been near the spot; but we now from authority inform, that the intelligence was premature.—On the contrary, the post at Point-au-Fair, formerly garrisoned with a subaltern's guard, is now augmented to a captain's; and that on Dutchman's point, where formerly a corporal & four men were stationed, is reinforced with a sergeant and twelve: The Schooner Maria likewise, who for a long time past has laid opposite Point-au-Fair in Windmill bay, with four guns only on board, has received her full metal, together with a company of marines, her full compliment of seamen, with her nettings &c. complete as in time of war. The Maria, and the post at Point-au-Fair, is five miles, and the post on Dutchman's point twelve miles this side the northern line of Vermont.
BOSTON, July 9.
The following melancholy accident happened at Franklin, on the 26th ult.

two sons of Mr. Hewes, a son of Mr. Harding, and a son of Mr. Scott, ventured into a canoe for the purpose of gathering Lillies in a pond of that town;—when being by some means or other affrighted, they jumped out of the canoe, and were all unfortunately drowned.
FROM INDIA.
By the Ship Ruby, Capt. Rich, arrived here yesterday, from Calcutta, we have received India papers, to Dec. 16th, which contain numberless accounts of the progress of the British forces in India against Tippoo Saib; but nothing decisive had taken place—in several skirmishes Tippoo gained the victory; while in others she declared for the English. The British force is divided into three armies, the main one of which is commanded by Gen. Meadows. Lord Cornwallis, at the date of our last paper, had just set out from Calcutta, to join the army, and the most flattering expectations were formed from his Lordship's abilities and bravery. The crisis appears very important to the British—the issue of the contest, time must unfold.
The self created CLUB of CORDELIERS, of Paris, are very plain in their denunciation of the King of France—whom they are pleased to style a "Placeman" Mr. Burke may well complain, that the "age of chivalry is gone."
MARINE JOURNAL.
ON Thursday arrived here, the Schooner—Capt. LLOUD, from Halifax—in which came passengers, Captains KEMP and HIGGINS—and the crews of two whalemen, who sailed from Wellfleet, the 12th of April last; and were cast away, on St. George's-head, Newfoundland, on the 27th of the same month; where they suffered every extremity of cold and wretchedness, the snow then being very deep and they, and their crews nothing to defend them from the inclemency of the climate, but a single sail tent, until the 27th of May, when they were taken off by Captain GOLAND, in a Schooner, and carried to Canso—where they fell in with His Britannic Majesty's Ship PENELOPE, commanded by captain LINZEE—who having learned their situation, with the greatest humanity took them on board his Ship, and afforded them every relief, nourishment and supply, in his power; carried them to Halifax; and from thence sent them to this Port, in a vessel fitted for the purpose, without any expense whatever. From the mercantile interest, and from all the sons of humanity, Capt. LINZEE is intitled to the highest tribute of gratitude—and the small one which we can pay him we proffer with the utmost sincerity.
Arrived yesterday, Ship RUBY, Capt. RICH, from Calcutta, in India. Of her cargo is a considerable quantity of Sugars, not produced by the hard toil and sweat of the sable sons of Africa.
Calcutta, Nov. 18—sailed, the American Ship Hercules, Capt. BELL, for Bombay.
In lat. 39, 23, long. 64, Captain WATTS from this port, for Surinam, was spoke with, all well.
Capt BUTLER, in a Brig from Boston, and Capt. BASSEL, from Cape-Ann, were at Demarara 30th May.
July 10. Arrived brig Ruth, Bridges, in 58 days from Liverpool. Spoke 17th May, ship William, of Newbury-Port, Russel, from Charlestown, for Amsterdam—June 28, ship Massachusetts, of Boston, Deliver, from Rotterdam, for New-York—July 2, a brig, Eudicot, from Salem, for Lisbon—July 6, brig Valiant, Mose from Salem for Cadiz.
Arrived here 7th inst. Schooner Nancy, Coffin, from Halifax, with a cargo of wood and stones, 11 days.
Sloop Waldoborough, Sprague, St. Eustatia, with salt, molasses and rum, 25 days.
Brig Katy, Harris, from Gaudaloupe, with molasses, 26 days. On the 15th June, to the leeward of Gaudaloupe, Capt. Harris spoke ship Rebecca Curry, of New-Bedford, who had caught 100 tons of oil, in company with the Rising Sun, of Providence, all well.
Brig Sally, Lyde, Rochelle, with brandy, 45 days.
Schooner Sally, Davis, Bahamas, with dye Woods.
We learn that on the 23d of May, the Ship Boston Packet, Davis; Ship Mary, Barnard; and Brig Betsey, Rogers from this port, were arrived at London.
PORTSMOUTH, July 14.
In the New-Hampshire Spy of the 25th ultimo, Mr. Osborne, printer of the Spy, with his usual dissembled friendship, again acknowledges the receipt of "some strictures on the conduct of J. M. printer of the New-Hampshire Gazette,"—J. M. hereby informs the public that after waiting until two papers were published, and nothing on that head making its appearance, tho' it to wait on his illiberal brother on the parade, and there chastised him for his unfriendly, unmanly, indecent and false alarm, after which he was much enraged, and went home threatening it should now make its appearance, thinking he might be punctual to his engagement, so solemnly made, we have thus long waited to see the piece which so elevated our harmless brother type; but from his boasted piece not making its appearance, we are left to conjecture, whether some derangement in the engagement did not take place in his fertile brain, which left him in a worse predicament than the mountain that laboured and brought forth a mouse.
It is a matter of surprize, observes a correspondent, that the miraculous monster so feelingly and repeatedly foretold of, by the renowned philanthropist at the boasted repository of human wisdom at Gottenburg's-Head, threatening such destruction to the editor of the Gazette, has not yet made its appearance. From its being so long concealed, we are of opinion its visage is not of so frightful a gesture, or pregnant with so much evil, as the self important editor of the Spy has strained his pericranium to represent, under the garb of so much "GOOD WILL" to the publisher of the Gazette.—We have cause to believe this is not the first instance of his discovering the wolf in sheep's cloathing.—Had this philanthropist have been as tenderly careful in his acknowledgements, as he appears to be of publishing the strictures he alludes to, perhaps he would have saved himself that terrible panic which seized him at his chastisement on the parade.
From the late returns of part of the census made by an act of Congress, the aggregate population of the United-States it is presumed, will not fall materially short of four millions. The state of population in old countries, remain nearly stationary from age to age. It is said that every country is capable of subsisting a certain number of inhabitants proportioned to its extent, soil, climate and natural advantages—hence it follows that when the numbers reach this level they continue at a stand. On this principle it is worthy the attention of a curious mind to investigate what number of inhabitants the present territory of the United States is capable of containing, and at what period it will probably be filled. For this purpose we will take the extent of Great-Britain, including Ireland, France and Holland, which contain 274,128 square miles—and the medium of 165 inhabitants to each mile.
The United States contain (exclusive of 51,000,000 acres of water) 920,313 square miles. Admitting this immense territory to be susceptible of the same average population, it will follow, that it is capable of subsisting 151,851,645 inhabitants. Supposing the present number to be 3,500,000, and that this number should continue doubling each successive 25 years, it will also follow, that the whole territory will be completely stocked in less than 140 years.

FROM THE QUEBEC HERALD. DIRECTIONS for making CHEESE.
TO farmers who live in the country and keep many cows, it would doubtless be an advantage to know how to make their milk into good cheese; for through the want of that knowledge the dairy women are often at as much pains to spoil their milk by making it into very bad cheese, as they would then be to make it into that which is very good.
Much depends upon having a portion of salt-petre used with common salt in salting the cheese:—If the latter is used, and a quantity sufficient to keep the cheese sweet is put in, the cheese is apt to be very hard, and to have a biting disagreeable taste; but if not so much is taken, then, when the cheese is drying a putrid fermentation comes on, and the cheese swells up much in the middle, often till it is twice as thick as it was before. If the cheese should now be cut it would be found to send forth a disagreeable stench, and could not be eaten; but if suffered to stand the fermentation gradually abates, and the cheese falls even lower than it was at first, so as to be concave on both sides: By age such cheeses grow much sweeter than they were when fermenting, yet always retain some thing of the same disagreeable strong taste. Cheeses that are not salted enough will be more or less, according to the above description in proportion as they lack more or less of being salted enough; so that whenever the dairy woman perceives the above appearance in her cheeses, she may know that it is time for her to alter her hand in salting. The people of England have perhaps as many different ways of making cheese as there are different counties in England; which is sufficient to shew that cheese may be good, and yet differ in some respects as to the way of its being made. For the best of cheeses are made in divers parts of England; yet whatever particulars they differ in, they doubtless agree in adopting the use of salt-petre though perhaps not in the same proportion; for it is well known that cheeses from different parts vary in quality, and yet are all very good.
Cheeses made according to the following recipe have by long experience been found to be of a very excellent quality, and perhaps inferior to none that are made in England.
Let the runnet be prepared by soaking the calve's bag in cold water, and salting it enough to keep it sweet; to the milk, first made blood warm, add enough of this to turn the milk into a curd in half an hour, which quantity will soon be found by experience: then heat it as hot as you can well bear your hand in it, and having strained the whey well from it, break or chop the curd to pieces, and to every five pounds of cheese put a tea-spoon full of salt-petre, and a large table spoonfull of common salt; (it will soon be learned by experience how much milk or curd will produce five pounds of cheese) it must now be put in the press and turned within an hour; kept in the press two days—turn it twice the first day, and once the last.
They should while drying, keep it in a dark room, or otherwise keep it from flies.
If any cracks come in them when drying, let them be filled with a paste made of butter and flower to keep the flies from comming at them, if any should get in the room.
The ECONOMIST.
A penny saved is as good as a penny earned. BUT how shall I save my pence? They will go as fast as I earn them." Reduce all your affairs to order. Observe order in your family, in your meals, in your business, in your amusements. Prescribe to yourself rules of
conduct. Beware of contracting expensive habits, and subdue those which you have contracted. Be industrious in your calling. Never lay out your earnings for that, which, in the long run, can do you no good. Form no connections with spendthrifts. Waste nothing that can be applied to real use, for your own, or your neighbour's benefit.
My neighbour Frugal, orders his Family to bed, so early, that they may rise with the sun the year round. Thus he saves candles; for the sun lights him for nothing: and he reckons the sun affords a better light than a candle. Morning drams and flip before dinner he has disused for many years. This is a considerable saving: And he now enjoys better health and eats with better appetite, than when he used them. He keeps a plenty of wholesome food, good beer, and cider; and requires of his labourers no more work than they can perform with the strength of these. Ardent spirits, he thinks, ought to be reserved for occasional use. And he says his people do more work, and do it much better, than they did four years ago, when he indulged them in the free use of rum. Besides, they seldom quarrel with one another. When he sees a young fellow turn down two or three glasses of rum in quick succession; "There," says he, "is a fellow who will always be poor: He will be a drunkard before he is forty years old." As he was once on a visit at a friend's house, in a town at some distance, he saw a man in a poor habit with a bottle in his hand, passing the street just before sun-down on Saturday. He observed, that the man went into a retailer's shop, and soon returned and entered a small house. "There," says Mr. Frugal to his friend, "is a miserable family, soon to be maintained by the town. They waste the earnings of the week in rum. They cannot keep Sunday without a bottle. They never go to meeting. I dare say, the woman and children are as nasty and ragged as Hottentots, and almost as ignorant. They plead, I suppose, in excuse or not going to church, or sending their children to school; that they are poor, and have so many rates to pay, that they cannot procure clothes. If one of the family happens to be sick, I presume the neighbourhood, must be called upon to supply them with the necessaries of life. And all this for rum." "You have hit it exactly," says the gentleman of the house; "and this is the case of several other families among us. Rum is the Ruin of them."
Frugal never goes to a tavern without business, nor tarries longer than to finish the business that called him there. If he meets a friend, who he is glad to see, instead of treating him at the tavern, he invites him to his house; for he says, he can better give a friend a diner, or supper at home, than half a mug of flip at a tavern; and can enjoy with him a much more sociable chat. He observes, that some men invite their friends to a tavern, because they love the place themselves; And then by tavern expenses they are become so poor, and they cannot entertain a friend at their own houses.
