SIR,
HAVING read in your paper, the repeated strictures of the American R. on a new publication, entitled the Triumph of Infidelity. I have been led to examine those instances of grammatical error which he has made to glare with such apparent absurdity, and so industriously labored to magnify to mountains.
With respect to the first of these, he observes, that to "undefy a trust, is a confusion of metaphor and natural expression." True:—But to "undefy an Almighty Trust," is no confusion at all.
The next circumstance which offends our R's delicacy, is the improper use of the word peer'd; because, by dint of learned enquiry, he has discovered it to be an intransitive verb, and not in modern use.
A third fly-blow, discovered by our modern R. is "a cheated gospel;" whereupon he freely asserts, that "cheat cannot, by any rule of construction, by any figure in language, be predicated of gospel, or any thing inanimate."
We are told by this moral R. that "practices only, and not principles, come under the cognizance of society, and become the objects of censure and ridicule."
All the R. has said in vindication of the customs, but especially the religion of the Chinese, is lighter than vanity in the scale of argument; and serves only to expose his moral weakness, and oblique irreverence of the christian religion.

Extract of a letter from London, July 2.
"By the Proceedings of the House which I have sent you via St. John's New Brunswick, in the Ann, now at Gravelend, you will find that £1,183,754.8 has been granted to the Loyalists of the colonies north of Florida; and £1,13,952.14.3 to the late inhabitants of East Florida."
BOSTON, September 6.
A federal correspondent of the Centinel informs the serious correspondent of the Chronicle, that the assertion in the latter paper, previous to the election of Governors, &c. "that a number of the citizens of this town, as well friends to Gen. Lincoln as to Mr. Adams had met, and agreed to give up all exertions for the former, and to unite their interests in favour of the latter, as being the candidate most likely to obtain the greatest number of votes elsewhere" whatever may be said of it since, was THEN acknowledged to be a falsehood—a trick.
The legislature (thank God they chuse the senators) and the freemen of the county of Suffolk, in particular, will undoubtedly fix their eyes upon men of real federalism, consistent, independent characters, who have judgment to discern, and spirit to pursue the best interests of their country.
portion of the free citizens, then we can naturally suppose, any alterations ever will—and therefore we may safely repeat, that unconditional promises to support and bring about alterations, previous to a full trial and experience of its competency to the great purposes of the union, is TREASON AGAINST THE MAJESTY OF THE PEOPLE.
ELIZABETH TOWN, Sept. 10.
On the 3d instant there was a joint-meeting of the honorable the Council and General Assembly of this state, when the following appointments were made: John Chetwood, Esq. of Eliz. Town, Counsellor at Law; third Justice of the Supreme Court, in the room of John Clevves Symmes, Esq. removed to the Western Territory—Richard Howell, Esq. Clerk of the Supreme Court, in the room of William Churchill Houston, Esq. deceased;—and Joseph Bloomfield, Esq. re-appointed Attorney-General.
Yesterday, in a crowded and solemn assembly, the Rev. David Austin was ordained Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this town.—The Rev. Mr. Roe preached the sermon—Dr. Rogers, who presided, gave the charge to the minister—and Dr. Macwhorter to the people. The exercises were conducted with much solemnity and decorum.
Last Sunday a young man, by the name of Whitehead, was found drowned near Mott's mill. It is supposed he came by his death the preceding evening by falling into the creek.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.
On Wednesday last the atmosphere over our city was so clear, that both the beautiful planets, Jupiter and Venus, were visible to the naked eye even at noonday.
We find the following passage on the baneful effects of Spirituous Liquors on the human race, in an excellent sermon, preached in the year 1751, by the Bishop of Worcester:—
A correspondent, well acquainted with the public opinions of Pennsylvania, assures us, that he is convinced the people at la ge, and particularly the citizens of Philadelphia, with their pretensions to the seat of Federal government may be waved, and that even their rival, New York, may be the place of first meeting, rather than have one hour's delay of putting the government in motion, which is so necessary to the happiness and honor of the United States.
On Saturday last, at a general meeting of the Public Creditors, held at the State-house, the following gentlemen were chosen a committee: Mathew Clarkson, John Nixon, Charles Pettit, the Rev. Dr. Ewing, Samuel Miles, Jonathan D. Sergeant, Blair McClenahan, General Walter Stewart, Major Thomas L. Moore, Christopher Marshall, Jun. John Wharton, Peter Wikoff, and John Chaloner.
IN COUNCIL.
SIR, Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1788.
A PROCLAMATION was issued on the 25th of June last, by His Britannic Majesty, prohibiting the entry of Wheat, the growth of any of the territories of the United States into any of the ports of Great-Britain: And as there is reason to believe that the said proclamation has been occasioned by some misinformation respecting the insect called the Hessian Fly:—
Council therefore request your useful Society to investigate and report to them, as soon as convenient, the nature of the Hessian Fly, particularly as to the manner of its being propagated, and the effects of it on the crops of wheat; and to ascertain with all possible precision, whether the loss of the crops is not occasioned by the destruction of the plant; and whether the small quantity of wheat produced from a field infected with the Fly, is good grain, or otherwise. Likewise, the most successful method that has hitherto been discovered for preventing the effects of this insect.
I am, SIR,
With great respect,
Your very humble servant,

Samuel Powell, Esq. President } of the Agricultural Society
SIR,
The Philadelphia Society for promoting Agriculture, before whom I had the honor of laying the Enquiries addressed to them by the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, on the subject of the Hessian Fly, have directed me to assure your honorable Board, that from every communication made to them on that subject, they are decidedly of opinion, that it is the plant of the wheat, alone, that is injured by this destructive insect—that what grain happens to be produced from such plants is found good—and that this insect is not propagated by sowing wheat which grew on fields infected with it.
For the best information relative to the other enquiries, the Society beg leave to refer your honorable Board to the Pennsylvania Mercury of June 8, Sept. 14, 1787, and July 1, 1788; and to the Pennsylvania Packet of August 25, 1788.
I have the honor to subscribe myself in the name of the Society,

Honorable Peter Muhlenberg, Esq.
Vice-President of the State of Pennsylvania }
SIR,
Mr. HUMPHREYS, BE pleased to insert the following Letter, addressed to the Society for promoting agriculture, and by them directed to be published; and you will oblige
Your very humble servant,
T. PICKERING, Secretary.
Prospect, May 20, 1787.
DEAR SIR,
I HAVE not heard that the Philadelphia Agricultural Society have yet paid that attention to the Hessian Fly, which I think the subject merits. That at New-York, alarmed at the ravages com-
mitted by this insect, has advertised and requested information concerning it.
In Mr. Oswald's paper of the 7th of April last, a letter to that Society is inserted, from a gentleman, dated New-York, Sept. 1, 1786, which gives the best account of the insect which I have seen. Having been an attentive observer of its destructive progress, I am exceedingly anxious that the Philadelphia Society should direct their attention to it.
The inhabitants of the province of Angoumois having for thirty years, suffered irreparable losses by an insect which destroyed their wheat, and other grain, Messrs. Duhamel and Tillet were deputed by the Academy of Sciences at Paris, of which they were members, to enquire into the nature of this insect, and the means of preventing and curing the dreadful calamity the people labored under.
I would beg leave to propose, that in like manner the Philadelphia Agricultural Society appoint a committee to inspect a number of fields of grain infected with the Hessian Fly; to inform themselves of its history and progress, and the best means of preventing its depredations.
It is said, that some persons on Long-Island grow a species of wheat, which this fly does not touch; but I have heard this contradicted by those who have been there. Would it not be worth while for the Society to send a person of observation before the ensuing harvest, to ascertain the matter?
"Our wheats, in this month of May, 1755, have been subject to an accident, from which even the grain cultivated by the new husbandry, is not exempt. A number of white worms have been found on it, which, after a time, turn to a chesnut color: they place themselves betwixt the leaves and gnaw the stalk; they are commonly found betwixt the first joint and the root: the stalks on which they fix are immediately at a stand; they grow yellow and wither."
This description of M. de Chateauxvieux, answers in every respect to our Hessian Fly; except that it conveys the idea of its having motion, which indeed all the letters I have seen published would lead us to believe; whereas it remains in the spot the Fly discharged it, with a certain portion of mucus, by which it is glued to the stalk, from whence it derives its nourishment.
This insect did not advance to my neighborhood, to be observed, until May, 1786.—It is now increased to an alarming degree; informeth that some fields of green wheat in Middlesex, Somerset, and Monmouth; were so injured last October, as to induce their owners to plough them over, and sow rye:—Other fields being partially injured, were left until their owners were enabled to judge what to do with them in the spring.
This insect in question has been equally destructive in some places to rye, and has taken possession of Timothy grass. William Patterson, Esq. of Brunswic, informs me, that it had very much injured his fall barley; but I have never yet received certain information, nor observed that it has seized upon spring barley, or oats; though it has undoubtedly destroyed whole fields of spring wheat in Morris county in this state.
The insect is in its several stages of fly, worm, and chrysalis, during all the spring, summer, and fall; between the last and first frosts. I mean there are repeated swarms of them during those seasons, but how long the respective broods are in each of those stages, I have not yet been able to determine.
I have heard of no remedy being discovered against the insect—but having myself been in the practice of rolling my grain in the fall and spring, and of feeding it close the first dry weather in March or April, for other purposes; and my wheat having escaped the fly, whilst adjoining wheat of my neighbor's was attacked, I have been led to conclude that the roller and the sheep have destroyed it in its chrysalis state, so far as to prevent any perceivable injury.
I have this spring both rolled and fed one field, and only fed another. Hitherto I perceive no depredations in either, although the fly were numerous in both last fall, when I did not roll, because both fields being very stoney, and one remarkably so, I was desirous to store them, that the roller might have its proper effect; but I had not strength to complete either in time.
Would it not be proper for the Society to request of their President, to write a letter to the President of the Agricultural Society at Geneva, giving the necessary information respecting the Hessian Fly, and requesting to be informed if M. de Chateauxvieux, or any others, found out a remedy for the said insect, described in his above recited letter to Mr. Duhamel; and what that remedy was, &c.
If any Member of the Society, can lend me the use of a good microscope, I will endeavor to make
farther observations. From this time to harvest, is an important season to do it in.
I am, with great respect,
Dear Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
