[FROM MR. VARLO'S NEW SYSTEM OF HUSBANDRY.]
The Management of HEMP.
HEMP is a crop that requires good, rich, deep, well tilled land, a loamy clay is the best, though if inclined to sand it will do.—The ground, being well tilled and cleared of any stones, or rubbish, and the mold made fine, the next thing is to sow the seed early in the Spring, at the rate of two bushels an acre. After it is sown harrow it once in a place. Hemp generally grows so quick, and with so bushy a full-top, that it mostly smothers any weeds that may attempt to grow among it.
There are two sorts of hemp, male and female, which distinguishes itself when in blossom: the male grows with a much grosser stalk than the female, has a bushy top, and bears the seed; the female has a small stalk, and when nearly ripe turns to a greenish yellow, has a taper top, whereon grows much blossom, but never produces any seed.
Some people pull both male and female together, as soon as the female turns yellow, which it will do before the male seed is ripe and while it is a dark green and water them both together, without regarding the seed. This will make a white fine hemp fit for cloth, and is attended with the least trouble but is not the most profitable. The next and most profitable method is, to pick out all the female hemp as soon as ripe, and water
it by itself, letting the male stand for seed, which will take above a month longer before it is ripe, and which in England generally brings it near Michaelmas, tho' in America, it is ripe much sooner.
When the male is ripe it must be pulled and tied in sheaves close under the head with a band of weeds or straw, and then set up in round stooks, the heads proping together, a dozen sheaves in a stook and let it stand till the seed is hard and dry, so that it will thresh out freely.
When threshed it must be tied with two straw bands in sheaves about eight inches diameter, and put in rows in the water; when it has laid three or four days turn it with a fork, which is easily done, as it swims on the surface of the water in rows.
There is no certain time can be fixed for either this or any other sort of hemp, or flax, lying in the water, for if the weather be hot it will be done in half the time that it will, if cold, therefore all must be ruled by the managers judgment, and the best way for him to know, is to take a little out and dry it, which when dry, if the bun, or stalk, break without bending, and the bast, or skin, peel off freely it is enough watered, take it out and dry it by setting it up in single sheaves, which will stand very well, if the head be kept tied, and the root-end be spread round proping-wise, leaving a hollow in the middle; this hemp is generally peeled by hand in single stalks; it may be done by women or children, for which in England the price is two pence a stone.
The male or peeled hemp is used for making coarse ropes, cables, &c. But the female, or white hemp is braked and swingled like flax, and generally manufactured into sail cloth, strong sheeting, &c.

Foreign Advices.
L O N D O N, September 5.
ACCORDING to letters from Lisbon, the Court are by no means pleased with the situation in which the Spaniards have left them, by concluding a separate truce with the Algerines, whose corsairs are become more numerous than ever, both within and without the Mediterranean. Her Most faithful Majesty is, however, resolved to protect her trade against the Barbarians, for which purpose she has appointed two or three frigates to rendezvous in Secre Bay, which is just without the Straights Mouth; there are already in the Mediterranean, a Portuguese man of war of 60 guns, and three others.
Sept. 12. A letter from Vienna dated August 24. says, That the plague that broke out at Galatsch has already spread as far as Bucharest. The excessive heats in those parts give room to fear the most melancholy consequences.
BERLIN, August 27. Advices have been received from Silesia, of the King's arrival at the Camp of Grosfen-Tintz, and of the commencement of the manoeuvres on the 21st.
A great devastation has been occasioned in West-Prussia, by a hurricane and hail-storm, by which a considerable number of villages have been destroyed, including a circuit of 20 German miles square.
Extract of a letter from Algiers, August 10. A few days ago, five Jews were strangled in this city, by order of the Dey, and all their property confiscated, and their ware-houses destroyed. The crime for which they suffered, was for defrauding a Christian merchant of a large sum of money, and a great quantity of merchandise. It appears that these fellows have visited most cities and capital trading towns in Europe, particularly London, Bristol, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Bourdeaux, and Port L'Orient, where they have committed a vast number of frauds on people of all descriptions with impunity. The day after the execution took place, two more were seized, who acted as clerks to the culprits during the transaction of their villainies, but upon nice investigation, it did not appear that they had any part of the property, and therefore escaped the fate of their masters, yet they did not go unpunished; for they were sentenced to receive each 100 ballinades upon the bare soles of their feet. This severe punish-

ment was inflicted upon them because they did not make a proper discovery of the villainy, when they knew their masters were nothing but notorious impostors."
Sept. 14. A variety of orders were received by the last mails from New-York, from houses in America, whose firm is good, and whose discharge of their old debts and remittances since have been such as to gain them credit; but the injunctions received with them have been singularly strong, and punctually run thus: "Ship no part hereof, however, on my account, till a commercial treaty is signed between Great-Britain and the United States, or till you have the most perfect assurances that something of that kind is nearly being brought to a conclusion." This has occasioned a meeting of the merchants, and one interview on the subject has been held with the Minister's Secretary, the Chancellor of the Exchequer being himself out of town for a relaxation from the fatigues of business, but without obtaining any very satisfactory answer. They are to have a meeting with Mr. Pitt, as we are given to understand, on Friday next.
The late captures made by the Algerines have caused the Underwriters to be very shy of insuring any vessels up the Mediterranean, and there is no getting a Portuguese or American vessel insured but on very advanced terms.
Sept. 16. The French go beyond us in every thing—in their extension of commerce—in their cultivation of science—and in their liberal institutions for species of distress.—A recent instance of the attention and humanity of the city of Paris, we recommend to the City of London. The Chamber of the City of Paris have erected twelve baths, hot and cold, for the use of the poor, where they are to be permitted to bathe gratis, and to have every accommodation furnished them of attendants, linnen, &c.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-York to his friend in Glasgow, dated July 23.
"The Taxes imposed by Congress and the different Assemblies are, in general, very partial, and bid fair to make this country the seat of oppression in place of liberty; a tax of 45, 50, 55, and 60 per cent. has lately been imposed by this Assembly on all lands, houses, &c. which were within the lines of the British while they possessed this city."
According to letters from Marseilles, no fewer than 29 vessels of and for that port, with very valuable cargoes, had been taken by the Algerine corsairs, in the course of the last six months, and carried into Algiers, where their crews are all made slaves of.
Sept. 19. Saturday about three o'clock the stocks suddenly fell near one per cent. and on the most diligent inquiry we find, that an express is said to have given an account of hostilities having actually commenced between the Emperor and the Dutch, in such a manner as must ultimately involve the King of Great-Britain, as Elector of Hanover, in a war; but whether it is a stock-jobbing manœuvre, or a fact, we do not pretend to say.
The story of Dr. Franklin being sent to Algiers, is a very good one, but like many very good stories, it requires confirmation. If it be so, the Americans cannot do better than to give up one of their provinces by way of ransom. They can very well spare one, and the Congress into the bargain.
In contradiction to the anonymous letter, said to be written from Algiers by Capt. Truxton, of the London Packet, bound from London to Philadelphia, and addressed to one of his owners, as appeared in Saturday's Public Advertiser, we are authorised by Mr. Dennis De Berdt, merchant in Broad-street Buildings, to assure the Public, that he is the ship's husband, and the sole owner now in England; and that he has received no such letter from the Captain as that above alluded to, nor any account whatever from him since his departure from the English channel, which was about the 28th of July last; nor has Mr. Thomas Tayler, master of New-Lloyd's Coffee-house, received any news of the capture of said ship, or of any other accident having befallen her.

The Tender Act.
State of New-Hampshire.
In the year of our LORD, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five.
An Act to prevent the Bodies of Debtors from being taken on Execution, when real or personal Estate can be found, or is tendered to satisfy the Demand.
WHEREAS, in the present scarcity of cash, it is extremely difficult for debtors to discharge the demands against them, in power and gold, and the committing persons to prison, on execution for debt, when real or personal estate is tendered by the debtor, or found by the creditor to satisfy the same, would at this time be very injurious:
Therefore, B E it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That after the publication of this act and during the continuance thereof, whenever any debtor shall tender to the creditor or officer, in satisfaction of any execution recovered upon action of debt, covenant or promise, either real or personal estate sufficient to satisfy the same, said debtor's body shall not be liable to be taken in execution, but the estate aforesaid, may be taken by the creditor and appraised off in the same manner as the law directs, for the appraising off real estate in satisfaction of executions; provided always, that in case of estate being tendered as aforesaid, the creditor shall not be compelled to accept the estate so tendered, if he can find any other estate real or personal, whereon to levy the same, which may be appraised and set off, as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That in all cases where real estate shall be tendered by the debtor, and accepted by the creditor, no equity of redemption shall be allowed; but if the said real estate is taken at the election of the creditor, the same time for redeeming such estate, shall be allowed as the law of this State, in such cases, provides.
And be it further enacted, That when the creditor shall not think proper to levy his execution on real or personal estate, found or tendered as aforesaid, the body of the debtor shall be exempt, and the said debt shall carry six per cent. per annum, interest on the judgment until the same is satisfied.
And be it further enacted, That the creditor may, at any time, renew his execution by taking out an alias, within one year after the return of any former execution, and levy the same on any estate of the debtor, which he can find; and the clerk of the court, issuing out such alias execution, shall cast the interest thereon, from the time of rendering the original judgment, and certify the same on the back of the alias execution; and the sheriff or other officer, is hereby empowered to levy for the same, as though it was contained in the original judgment.
And in order that the sheriff or other officer may know what executions are for debt, on contract or promise, and what are for damages in trespass and other actions for torts:
Be it further enacted, That the clerk shall, on the back of every execution, certify what said execution was recovered upon, whether on note, bond, contract, covenant, or for trespass, trover or other tortious act; and if it be for any tort, the sheriff shall proceed to serve and levy the same, as tho' this act had not been made.
And be it further enacted, That when it shall happen that the body of any debtor, shall be taken by an execution in any other county, than where his estate shall happen to be, if he shall make oath before any Justice of the Peace, in the county where he happens to be taken, that he has estate, real or personal, in some other county, sufficient to satisfy such execution, free from incumbrance, and shall particularly describe the same, the sheriff shall immediately notify the creditor, his agent or attorney, and certify on the back of said execution, that the said debtor has made such oath or affirmation, and shall deliver the same over to the creditor, who if he thinks proper, may repair to the county where said estate is supposed to lay, and the sheriff or his deputy, of that county, may proceed to serve the same or such estate, and make return thereon, of his having levied on such estate, or that none such could be found, and deliver the same to the creditor, who is to return the same within twenty days to the sheriff who first served said execution; and in case the creditor neglected so to do within the time aforesaid, the sheriff or his prison keeper, if the debtor stands committed, shall liberate the debtor upon his paying the service and prison charges, if any there be; and the sheriff who first apprehended the body of such debtor, shall, on his delivering over such execution to the creditor, take and keep a copy thereof, which shall be sufficient for him to detain the body of such debtor, during the twenty days aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That in future, executions shall be directed to any, or either of the sheriffs of the several and respective counties or their deputies, unless where the sheriff is a party, in which case, it is to be directed to the coroner of his county, and to the sheriffs of the other counties and their respective deputies. And in order that the creditor may not be injured by want of proper notice.
Be it further enacted, That when an execution is delivered or sent to the sheriff of any county, the person delivering or sending the same, shall on the back
thereof, indorse the name of some person in the same county, who shall be considered as the creditor's attorney, and notified by the sheriff as such, unless the creditors live within, or can be found in the said sheriff's precinct.
And be it further enacted, That in all executions now in force, the words "to the acceptance of the creditor," shall be deemed null and void, and in all executions to be issued after the publication of this act, no such words shall be inserted, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted, That if after such oath or affirmation made as aforesaid, no such estate can be found, and is so certified by the officer, the body of the debtor, shall be holden until he satisfies the execution, with all the costs thereon, as though this act had not been made.
This act to continue and be in force for the term of two years and no longer.

SOUTH-CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, October 4. Capt. Jasper, who arrived here on Saturday last, informs, that the 24th ult. a heavy gale came on at Ocracoke-Bar, N. Carolina, in which Capt.

Oct. 13.

Lime, October 14, 1785.
PORTSMOUTH, November 24.
On Tuesday last arrived here the brig Elizabeth and Jane, Capt. Frazier, from London, after a passage of 37 days. Capt. Frazier has favoured us with British papers from September 28 to October 8, from which, we have room and time enough, only to select a few of the most interesting paragraphs:
L O N D O N, September 28—October 8.
Algiers, August 15. Mr. Logie, the English Consul, is arrived here safe from Gibraltar: the Dey, to whom he was presented, received him in the most amicable manner. Twelve corsairs having failed from this port on the 5th of last month have made several considerable captures, and brought them in hither, but they have not all been judged good prizes by the Dey. The Spanish squadron which quitted this port some time ago is returned again, and as the Commander is detained on board by illness, the Comte d'Espilly has been appointed to go on board to take his commission and discharge it with the Dey; this negotiator on being landed returned to the Dey, and informed him, "That the
Catholic King would not furnish him with cannon, muskets, nor warlike ammunition; but that his Majesty would pay the value of them in ready money." The Dey not satisfied with this offer, considered it as an infraction of the conditions of the peace on the point of being concluded with Spain; and he declared, "That if the ammunitions of war were not furnished in kind, hostilities should recommence."
Leghorn, Aug. 26. According to letters from different parts, the Algerine pirates are now more annoying than they have been at any former period to the commerce in the Mediterranean. Of the several gangs of pirates now at sea, four or five are so barbarous as to murder the crews of all the vessels they capture.
Sept. 28. Report talks loudly again of peace, which the Dutch are said to have purchased at the expense of 50,000,000 guilders; but the actions of the contending powers carry all the appearance of war, for the Dutch have opened their sluices about Lillo, and laid all that part of the country under water; while the Emperor is marching a numerous army towards the Dutch territories, with orders to commence hostilities immediately: a few days, it is probable, will remove the present mist of uncertainty.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, Aug. 26.
"Arrived the Nuestra Señora do Ceañasson, Don Pedro Delbarco, without a mast standing. She was captured by an Algerine corsair of 36 guns, which, after plundering her, and taking out what they thought proper, suffered her to depart. The Algerine had just before taken a large ship from Maryland, under American colours, which they sent into Algiers. The N. S. do. Ceañasson saw four other Algerine corsairs cruising in the same latitude."
Oct. 6. Yesterday General Haldiman was at Court, and kissed his Majesty's Hand on being created a Knight of the Bath.
General Haldiman sets off in a few Days on his Return to Quebec, and is presented with a new Power of Government, similar to that of the Viceroyship of Ireland. Nova-Scotia, Newfoundland, and all the British Dependencies on that Coast, are said to be subject to the Jurisdiction of his Government.
A letter from Algiers, dated May 29, mentions, that on the 14th the Bey of Constantine made his publick Entry into that City, whither he came to be confirmed in his Dignity by the Bey. He brought with him the Tribute which he is obliged to pay to that Regency, consisting of 300,000 Piastres: He distributed besides 15,000 Sequins to the Officers of the Government. The Venetians also then paid their annual Gift of 8500 Ducates, and liquidated at the same Time the Sums agreed on for the Consulship remaining unpaid, which amounted to the like Sum. The Sieur Frassinet, Consul from Holland, who arrived a few Days before, had had his first Audience of the Bey, who assured him of his Desire to preserve the Good-Will and Friendship of the States-General.
Extract of a letter from Glasgow, Sept. 29.
"The Inconveniences suffered on Sunday Morning by the Swelling of the River, by the People inhabiting the Shops and Ground-Floors in the Bridge-Gate were many and great. The Aged and Infirm were obliged to abandon their Dwellings, one of whom, died very soon after she was carried to a Neighbour's house. Two Children, ill with the Small-Pox, died almost at the Time of removing them. Considerable Quantities of Corn, &c. came down the River. A large Parcel of Cloth, whitening in the Fleshers-Haugh, was carried off by the Water, though it had been removed to what was thought a Place of Safety.
Oct. 8. France has proceeded very progressively and mechanically in its endeavours to irritate this country. Having found by insulting the British flag with impunity, that national honour was now little regarded; it was natural to appeal to other feelings, and try what stripes could do; but should this also fail, the next experiment will probably be made in property. Such is the forlorn state of old England. — "Oh! how fallen, how changed,"
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, Sept. 8.
"The Barbary Corsairs are become so exceedingly troublesome from the mouth of the Mediterranean to the Canary Islands, that the Court have determined on sending two more frigates to that quarter. We are now building at Belem two new men of war, L'Infanta of 60, and the El Santa Magdalene, of 32 guns, which are to be finished with all possible dispatch."
They write from Seaford, that the Hazard cutter Capt. Hamilton, being on a cruise on that coast, fell in with a stout French smuggling vessel, when, after exchanging a few shots, without doing any material damage, she surrendered, and is brought in there. She is a new built vessel, and had been only out of Dunkirk, two days. She is judged a very valuable seizure.
Yesterday, agreeably to the Recommendation of Authority, was observed as a Day of Publick Thanksgiving throughout this State.
Capt. Welsh, in the Brigantine Irish Gimblet, from this place, arrived off the Island of St. Croix, on the 22d of October, spoke with the Brigantine Favourite, John Osgood, Commander, belonging to Salem, and after informing himself of the markets there, proceeded for Cape Francois, Hispaniola, with his cargo.
By the latest accounts handed us from Ireland, the troubles of that unhappy kingdom still wear a gloomy aspect. — Groaning under the weight of the iron hand of oppression, its inhabitants pant for the cooling streams of liberty. Several of the peaceable inhabitants of the city of Dublin, have been shockingly wounded, by a number of British officers, as they were passing the streets, merely because they supposed them to belong to the corps of volunteers. O Britain! when shall thy insatiate thirst for blood be at an end!
Capt. Parker, in the ship Perseverance, from Philadelphia, arrived in London on the 14th of October.
Capt. Callahan, sailed from the Downs in company with the Jane and Elizabeth, John Frazier, Master, the 17th of October.

R O N D E A U.
I.
MILDER than the summer season, Is the temper of my dear ; His, the seat of sense and reason ; Tender thoughts and words sincere.
II.
Not the dupe of pride or fashion ; Rolling years his faith improve ; Strong and lasting is his passion ; Time is sure a friend to love.
III.
While we smoothly glide in pleasure, Be each moment like the past ; Life, our hope ; and love our treasure ; Love and life shou'd ever last !
To a Young L A D Y.
LET not the flatt'ring voice of love Your unexperienc'd bosom move ; Your tender heart while men invite, Can safety only find in flight ; Let reason point the safest way, While you, with innocence obey. Nor vainly trust a beaut'ous face, Unless adorn'd with virtue's grace ; The outward form inflames the mind ; The inward graces firmly bind. And if at last, by heav'n's fate, You're destin'd to the mari'd state ; Seek not the trifling modes of life, But strive to make a loving wife.
