FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PETERSBURGH, March 16. COUNT Rzewski, General of the Polish army, arrived here last night; and Count Potocki, grand master of the artillery of the republic, is hourly expected. These two generals, who are displeased with the new order of things in their own country, have been for some time at Jassy, with Count Besborodko. They afterwards went to Cherson on some commercial business, which has retarded their arrival in this capital a month. As to their political projects, circumstances are plainly against them; and if our court has not acknowledged the new constitution of Poland, the long time it has suffered to elapse, without reclaiming its guarantee of the constitution of 1775, seems a tacit resignation of a right otherwise very doubtful with regard to a free and independent foreign nation.
BELFAST, May 1.
We are informed that an association is forming in London for the purpose of forwarding a Reformation to the British Parliament in which some very eminent characters are taking a lead, and from whom much is expected.
DUBLIN, April 1.
In the course of the last week, at Ballinamore, the seat of Thomas Ormsby, Esq., four of his labourers were found dead, having been suffocated from the rarification of the air in the room where they slept: This melancholy consequence arose from a lighted turf having been left burning where there was no chimney for the egress of the heated air.
There were eight men in the room, all of whom were insensible: but from the skilful means which were administered, four of them were restored to life: The state of the others baffled every attempt of recovery which skill could suggest, or humanity employ; the organs of respiration had so long ceased to act, that no new impulse could be given.
The first act of liberality from a Protestant Government to Roman Catholics on the continent, was done by the late King of Prussia, who built a most elegant church, furnished it with an organ, and every suitable decoration for the use of such Catholics, strangers or subjects as were resident at Berlin. The compliment was soon returned by the three ecclesiastical electors of Mentz, Trièves, and Cologne, the Bishop of Hohenloe, Salzburg &c. So that Lutherans and Calvinists, are not only tolerated, but protected and caressed in all those States.
LONDON, May 1.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 30.
A debate, or rather conversation on the subject of a reform in the British representation took place in the House of Commons this day. Mr. Grey introduced the business; in the course of his observations he reminded Mr. Pitt of his former declarations on this point, and considered him as pledged to give a reform his support.
The example of a neighboring kingdom, whatever it may suggest to other gentlemen, only tended to confirm him in the opinion, that the defects of a constitution should always be reformed before they amounted to a cause for the constitution being subverted. He gave notice, that he should, at an early period of the ensuing session, submit a motion for a Parliamentary Reform, and hoped gentlemen would not, in the interval, omit turning their most serious thoughts to so interesting a subject.
Mr. Pitt acknowledged that his opinion was changed—at the time he mentioned a reform, the American war raged, Parliament and the people then appeared to be opposed, to restore union and harmony at that time, he proposed the measure; but such were the resources to be found in the constitution, that the situation of the country was now changed from indigence and distress, to affluence and comfort: The greatest possible good therefore which the allotment of man was capable of receiving, could amount to no more than that
when he found himself happy, he should take measures to render that happiness as secure and durable as may be: He objected to the time and manner of bringing forward the business.
As to the time there were the most serious objections, when mischievous politicians were setting opinions afloat which must in their nature be subversive of all order and government—when the avowed partisans of this measure were persons who acknowledged themselves to be the enemies of monarchy—the asserters of our having no constitution whatever—the haters of aristocracy—the enemies of religion, and men who were inflexibly averse to all subordination and distinction of ranks whatever.
The manner of bringing it forward he also thought highly reprehensible; where members, withdrawing themselves from that duty and responsibility which their stations imposed upon them, sought seditious associations, deserted the regular Parliamentary line of conduct, and put their names in the public newspapers to resolutions framed in dangerous and irregular meetings.
Mr. Fox said he held the same opinion now with respect to a Parliamentary reform which he had constantly and uniformly maintained. He contended that there never was a time more proper for a reform than than the present, when we were profoundly at peace, and when the disorders of a neighbouring country gave us, however necessary to themselves, an awful example of the effects of anarchy and convulsion. He did not wish to be misunderstood on this point, for whatever may be the present distress of France—whether by applying to abstract principles, they had in the end produced no government (which was by no means his opinion) yet the ancient despotism was so detestable, that it ought certainly to be removed, whatever sacrifice it may occasion. France, however, furnished no subject for the imitation of this country. It was the great excellence and glory of our constitution, that it was always subject to reform, and susceptible of improvement, and in the advancements which reason and philosophy were making in the progress of human science, renovation and amendment must be applied with greater effect. In France, no repair was sufficient; the whole fabric must be destroyed. But of our constitution there is not a part which has not more than once been reformed.—The prerogatives of the crown, and the privileges of both houses of the legislature, had undergone various modifications, as circumstances required them, from time to time.
Mr. Burke maintained, that there was not in this country any society or body of men who were openly associated for the avowed purpose of supporting the cause of despotism; but that there were societies for the support and promotion of anarchy, and the extinction of our present constitution, was known to every one, and even sanctioned by known and respectable names.—Here (being called upon to name) he mentioned, amongst others, Mr. Walker, of Manchester, who was forward in circulating Paine's book, containing the most gross as well as absurd libels on the constitution. Whether the man in question was an American or not he could not tell.—He appeared to him in the light of an amphibious kind of an animal, neither quite French, English, nor Irish, but running about with alertness to see what mischief may possibly be done in any. His plans had so far succeeded, that a confederacy was formed between the disaffected here and the Jacobin Club in France, that race of Regicides and Monsters , whom it was impossible to think of without horror. To shew the sort of men with which this confederacy was formed, he gave a curious description of the present National Assembly of France. Out of 700 men, 500 were attorneys, and others low practitioners in the law. The greatest part of the remainder consisted of shop-boys, journeymen, and adventurers. He could point out 60 members who did not possess 200l. a year amongst them all; and in the whole congregation there were known to be only six men of property. If
men of such habits, such education, and such character, were fit for the purpose of Legislation, let Englishmen imitate them, but let them view their comparative situation before they formed their opinions.
From the turbulent disposition of the times, he thought this an improper moment to agitate such questions. If the present question came in the shape of a direct proposition, he would for one oppose it; but coming as it did in an indefinite shape, which gave encouragement to the views of the boldest and most profligate adventurers, he could not let it pass without receiving from him the most serious disapprobation.
Mr. Fox recapitulated some arguments in which he had been misunderstood. With regard to Mr. Paine's writings, he again alleged that they were libels against the constitution.
Mr. Burke agreed with Mr. Fox, whom he termed his Hon. friend. The writings in question were libels, but not scandalous; for any man, provided he were amenable to the laws of the country, might declare his sentiments of the constitution.
Mr. Erskine praising the history of the constitution, said that as a lawyer, and as a man, he was bound to maintain its original principles. Addressing himself to Mr. Pitt, he affirmed, that the people of this country were not adequately represented in Parliament; and challenged him to vote a resolution to that effect. If the constitution had remained unimpaired, there would have been a speedy end to the American troubles. Has not Mr. Pitt receded from his former principles? He laid the foundation, they added only a brick or two to form a superstructure. When bad men conspire against the interests of the community, good men must associate. This was the chief reason for union which now attracted their attention. Am I to suppose (says he) that men will consent to lop off the rotten boroughs, when they have received them as an inheritance? Am I to suppose that certain gentlemen will relapse into the mass of people? Could Mr. Pitt state the particular services which all those that had been advanced to the peerage had performed? As they had all borough influence, it could not be expected that they would consent to relinquish their power.
After several other members had spoken pro and con, the subject subsided at that time.
ADVERTISEMENTS.
The advertisements inserted in our public prints give a kind of local history of the manners of the age, and, in some trifling respects, this differs from any which preceded it. A servant in the last age sometimes flattered his master; but a day or two since, a young man who wants a place, advertises that he flatters himself he can serve. Another (provided it is with a single gentleman) has no objection to travel for the summer, and would, if required, take care of one horse, besides that which he is to ride himself. Another having been used to families of fashion, has no objection to late hours; and a fourth, having been used to regularity, and being a steady man, would prefer a sober, orderly and good natured family to any other. One generous trader embaces an early opportunity to inform the public he sells considerably under prime cost; and another is ever alive to the most heart-felt gratitude for favors already received. One gentleman advertises for a gentleman of an active mind, as a partner in the cyloing business; and another for a partner in a very lucrative employment, who must have insinuating manners and an easy address, as his employment will lead him into frequent intercourse with ladies of the first fashion.
CHARLESTON, (S.C.) June 14. TO THE PRINTER.
About three years ago, an English farmer from Warwickshire, arrived in this town with a wife and nine or ten small children; by my advice (and Mr. Miller's, late printer) he went to live in the back settlements of this state, called Long Cane, in Ninety-Six District, from which place he wrote me the 10th of last month. The following is an extract from his letter.
"I know you used to be fond to hear of improvements made in the back woods. I have just now been able to treat my neighbors with a draught of good ale, brewed the beginning of last March, and, as I hope, I think it will keep most of the summer. I planted the barley and hops myself, and I also brewed the beer, and I know it to be the best I have drank in the state."
BOSTON, June 23.
Yesterday, in the Senate, the question, Shall the Union Bank bill pass to be engrossed? was determined in the affirmative—yeas 15, nays 9.
MR. COX—the artist,
Of this town, was in Ireland, at the date of our last accounts from thence, April 6, and in high reputation, continually receiving applications for building Bridges, and performing other efforts of enterprize. He was then contemplating the construction of a dam for the Grand Canal Company; and had offers to engage in the building of two large Bridges, one 2000 and another 700 feet long—the timber to be the production of the American soil. The account published some time since, of his being engaged in levelling the monument in London, was not authentic—the above is.
The Cannon, for the use of the Artillery of this commonwealth, are now casting by Col. Revere, at his Foundry in this town.
DANBURY, June 25.
We have the pleasure to inform our readers, that the attempt of Messrs. Glover, Beers, and Tomlinson, to remove the Presbyterian meeting-house in New-town (as noticed in a former number of this paper) succeeded so well, that in less than two hours after the operation commenced, the building, together with the steeple, was removed entire, eight rods from its foundation, without the least injury to the building, or hurt to any person employed in the undertaking. So singular a movement highly gratified the curiosity of a numerous concourse of spectators. And the plan by which it was effected appeared so well contrived, that though more than an hundred men were employed in the operation, it was supposed by the best judges present, that fifty men would have effected it in the same space of time.
NEW-YORK, June 29.
Captain Sills of the sloop Happy Couple, who arrived here yesterday from Edenton, brings the following account, "That on the 23d instant, nine Frenchmen landed on the beach of Portsmouth, eight of whom set out immediately for Washington; the one remaining, said that they belonged to a French Brig bound from Savannah to France, with 300 hogheads of Tobacco—That on Sunday the 17th June they murdered the Captain and Mate, scuttled the brig on both sides, and left her with a woman on board, and that on Friday the 24th June, Capt. Sills, in lat. 35. 20 fell in with the above brig, & which had been just taken possession of by a British Schooner, commanded by Capt. Elisha Jones, from Antigua bound to Edenton, who had put some hands on board, and directed her for Norfolk.—The brig had 5 feet water in the hold when boarded by Capt. Jones.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, June 27.
A trooper, in Capt. Stokes' company of dragoons, on the march last week from this place to Trenton, near Brunswick, being invaded by sleep, fell of his horse and broke his neck.
NEWARK, June 28.
On Monday the 25th inst. the Foundation Stone of the New Academy, to be erected in this town, by public subscription, was laid with Masonic rites and ceremonies, by desire of the Governors of the Academy.
A vast concourse of people assembled on the occasion, and after the ceremony of laying the stone, attended Divine Worship in the New Presbyterian Church, where the Rev. Uzal Ogden, rector of Trinity church, delivered an excellent discourse suitable to the occasion, from Proverbs xvi. 16. "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold? and to get understanding rather than silver."

A handsome collection was made for the benefit of the Academy, and a Hymn adapted to the occasion was sung.
A procession was then formed from the place of worship to the site of the Academy, where the corner stone was laid with Masonic rites; after which the Master of St. John's Lodge addressed the President and Governors of the Academy of Newark:—
To which the Rev. Mr. MACWHORTER replied:
Master & Gentlemen of St. John's Lodge, No. 2, in the State of New-Jersey:
IT has devolved on me, by the absence of Mr. Gouverneur, President of the board of Governors of the Academy in Newark, to make some reply to your polite address upon this important occasion.
Gentlemen, our cordial thanks are presented to you, for the generous and liberal part you have taken in the encouragement of an institution designed to advance the interest of the rising and future generations, the cause of science, virtue, and our common country.
We rejoice with you that a public spirit, under the direction of reason and propriety, prevails in this town; and that honest industry and domestic economy exhibit their effects to the advantage of the community, and we hope, will to the felicity of posterity.
May this Academy rise and flourish, and the issues of it embalm the memories of its founders, and of the gentlemen of the ancient Masonic order for many generations.
Allow gloomy events to darken the historic page; but, let every vestige of the late unhappy and unnatural war be blotted from the noble minds of generous Americans, as this erection is to cover its last traces in this town.
May this edifice be an oblivion of martial animosities, and the great altar of peace, unanimity and love among brothers,
The Governors of this Academy, honored by the trust reposed in them, will faithfully endeavor, under the auspices of beneficent Heaven, to promote useful learning, and secure good morals in this institution; and diffuse far and wide the beams of that sun of liberty, which has arisen in this western hemisphere, and already begins to illumine eastern climes.
May fraternal affection reign in all breasts, and every man be a brother to every man; and the Supreme God bless every society, instituted for the felicity of mankind, and render you, gentlemen, the promoters of virtue, and literature; and may you long remain the glory of your country, and, at last, be admitted to an unchangeable residence in Mansions and Lodges, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.
Inscription on the Foundation Stone. By the blessing of God, Under the auspicious Government of GEORGE WASHINGTON, The most beloved Father of his Country, President of the United States of America, (William Patterson Governor of New-Jersey,) The Governors of the Academy, (Amidst the acclamations Of a concourse of Free Masons) Laid the foundation Stone Of this Building, Dedicated to the Patrons of Literature and Free Masonry, On the 25th day of June, In the year of our Lord, 1792, And of the Era of Free Masonry, 5792.
EDICT of the KING of DENMARK.
We, Christian VII, by the grace of God, King of Denmark and Norway, &c. &c. make known by these presents, That considering the circumstances which occur in the slave trade on the coast of Guinea, and in the transportation of the negroes from thence to our West-India islands, and impressed with the idea, that it would be in every respect beneficial and profitable, if the importation of new negroes from the coast of Guinea could be avoided, and our West-India islands, in process of time, cultivated by the negroes born and bred in the islands, accustomed from their youth to the manner of labour, the climate, and the disposition of their masters; we, in consequence, have made serious enquiries how far, and when it might be possible to accomplish the abolition of the said trade. From the result of these enquiries, we are convinced that it is possible, and will be advantageous to our West-India islands, to desist from the further purchase of new negroes, when once the plantations are stocked with a sufficient number for propagation, and the cultivation of their land; when pecuniary assistance can be given to those who
want to purchase negroes for their estates; and if proper encouragement was to be given to marriage among the negroes, and due attention paid to their instruction and morals.
In order therefore, to withdraw our West-India possessions from the state of dependence under which they have hitherto been, and now are, with respect to the importation of negroes, and to make the importation of negroes unnecessary in future, we declare our most gracious will on this subject, and order as follows:
 1. From the commencement of the year 1803, we forbid any of our subjects to carry on the slave trade from the coast of Africa, or any other place, except in our West-India islands; so that, after that period, no negro man or woman, either from that coast or other foreign places, will be allowed to be purchased by or for our subjects, or to be transported in our subjects' ships, neither must they be brought to our West-India islands for sale; and every transaction contrary to this prohibition, shall, after that period, be deemed unlawful.  2. In the mean time, from the present, until the end of the year 1802, it is permitted to all foreign nations, without exception, and under all flags, to import negro men and women from the coast into our West-India islands.  3. For every healthy and stout negro, man or woman, who, during that period, shall be thus imported into our West-India islands, we permit the following quantities of raw sugars to be exported from our islands to foreign places, either in our own or foreign ships, within a year after the importation of such negroes, viz. For every full grown negro, man or woman, 2000lb. weight may be exported; and for every half grown negro half that quantity, or 1000lb. weight, without any difference with regard to sex; but nothing is allowed for the importation of children.  4. The duty which is fixed by the ordinance of the 9th of April 1764, and 12th of May 1777 (which ordinances, in every respect that regards the slave trade, are hereby repealed), on the importation of slaves, we most graciously take off, with regard to the negro women, who may be hereafter imported; but, on the other hand, we impose a duty of one half per cent. more than what is already stipulated, on the sugars which shall be exported to foreign places, for the purchase of such negro men and women as are imported.  5. It is, moreover, our will, in order to establish an exact proportion among the different sexes, that from the beginning of 1795, and after, the negro women and girls who work in the field, and are not house negroes, shall pay no poll tax; but, on the contrary, from the above mentioned period, a double poll tax shall be exacted for every negro man.  6. From this present period we forbid, in the strongest manner, all exportation of negro men or women from our West-India islands, they alone being exempted from this prohibition who are expelled by law; or such as our governor-general and council in the West-Indies may, upon very extraordinary occasions, think proper according to circumstances, to permit to depart. 
Wherefore, this, our royal will, being made known, we order all and every one to conform to it.
Given at our palace of Christiansburgh, in our royal palace of residence, Copenhagen, the 16th of March, 1792, under our royal hand and seal.

INDEPENDENCE.
"HAIL! Independence, hail!" On fate's propitious gale Thy various blessings waft from pole to pole; Till all the race of man Adopt one general plan, PEACE, LIBERTY and SAFETY to the whole. "Hail! Independence, hail!" "The Rights of Man" prevail! Before thy beams the powers of darkness fall, Earth shall her myriads see, All INDEPENDENT, FREE, And TRUTH's resplendent glories wrap the ball!
E
THIS DAY is the Anniversary of that memorable event in the history of our country—THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Sixteen years have elapsed since the United States took their rank in the scale of nations. Sixteen years experience have verified the predictions contained in the following extract of a letter, dated July 3, 1776, written by JOHN ADAMS, a principal agent in the great work, & now VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. (See Universal Museum, for May, 1792.)
"The day is past. The second day of July, 1776, will be a memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for ever.—You will think me transported with enthusiasm—but I am not. I am well aware of the toil, and blood, and treasure that it will cost us, to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states; yet, through all the gloom, I can see the rays of light and glory—I can see that the end is more than worth all the means; and that posterity will triumph, although you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not."
Truth like its divine origin, is immutable—First principles should rest on this basis—hence the propriety of a frequent recurrence thereto.
The universe has pronounced the Eulogy of the United States—their government has been distinguished by the most propitious smiles of a benignant providence—their progress in fame and happiness is without example—On this auspicious day may they recognize the wisdom, virtue and patriotism which addressed the first Congress in the following extract—and while the sublime sentiments pass in review, may they be engraven as with the point of a diamond on the heart of every American.
Extract from the PRESIDENT'S Speech to the first Legislature of the United States:—
"There is no truth more thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness; between duty and advantage—between genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity.—Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained. And since the preservation of the sacred Fire of Liberty; and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked on the experiment entrusted to the American people."
This day, being the birth-day of our country, the same will be duly noticed by rejoicings and festivities similar to those which have heretofore celebrated the return of this auspicious anniversary.
The uniform volunteer companies, and the corps of artillery of the city will parade at the usual time and place in honor of the day; and in the evening there will be a splendid exhibition of fire-works at Oeller's Hotel. Preparations for the entertainment of company are made at the gardens at Gray's Ferry, and at Harrowgate; at the latter a brilliant illumination, &c. in the evening.
May the day pass in such manner as that reflection may review the transactions with pleasure.
Sunday at two o'clock, P. M. the mercury in the thermometer stood at ninety-one degrees in the shade; there was at the same time a strong breeze of wind from the north-west.
About half after three, heavy clouds began to rise from the north and north-west, and immediately commenced a most tremendous hurricane, which lasted for near fifteen minutes, with astonishing violence.
One of the large windows of Christ Church was blown into the aisle, which, though it was during the time of divine service, did no injury to any of the congregation. Several houses were unroofed and many stacks of chimneys blown down.
The river exhibited a most awful scene—the vessels in the harbor were tossed to and fro in every direction, and many were over-set. A brig was driven on the bar and remains there aground; and a fine ship lying near Vine-street, was forced from her moorings and over-set—fortunately she had no ballast; was drifted with the tide about a mile down the river, and then got aground: it is to be hoped she will be brought off, without having received any material injury.
Through the whole of this furious tempest, we have heard of no lives being lost except a boy, who was drowned by the over-setting of one of the boats.
We further learn, that a boat from this city to the Jersey shore was over-set within fifty rods of Samuel Cooper's wharf. There were in the boat Capt. Scott, Mr. Blake, his wife and four small children, a young woman, and Mr. Betts, in all nine persons, none of whom could swim except Capt. Scott.
The Captain, by the most astonishing and praiseworthy exertions, was able, providentially, to save them all. He swam ashore with one child hanging round his neck, and one on each arm; and he returned to the boat amidst the boisterous waves, raging in a furious and frightful manner, and brought the others, who had with much difficulty held by the boat, safe to land.
For the honor of Captain Scott, an old and valiant soldier, a son of Massachusetts, this circumstance should be handed down to posterity.
On the 27th ult. Capt. Stokes' troop of light dragoons, consisting of eighty non-commissioned officers and privates, marched from Reading for Pittsburg.
The following Speech of M. Dumourier, the French Minister of War, was delivered at the Jacobin Club, just after his appointment.
Brothers and Friends, ALL my time and attention will hence forward be devoted to fulfil the will of the nation, and the object of the choice of a constitutional king. I shall carry on foreign negotiations with a vigor that becomes a free nation; and they shall shortly produce a lasting peace, or a decisive war. If the latter is the issue, I shall lay down my pen, join the army to triumph or die free with my brothers.
Brothers, The weight of the duty I have undertaken is immense; assist me with your advice. Communicate to me here, and through the channel of the public prints, truths, even severe truths; but do not readily credit those who shall attempt to misrepresent my intentions.
The French language is remarkably fertile in songs of all kinds upon every subject. The revolution has not yet operated so far in changing the character of the nation as to destroy their pre-eminence as a singing nation. Their Constitution has lately been songified, and that not in ridicule, but in good earnest, by a person of respectable talents and principles.
A paragraph in a French paper of the last of March, mentions, as an article of intelligence from Marseilles, that the refractory priests have been arrested and shipped for Italy.
The gentlemen interested in the NATIONAL BRANCH BANK, in the discussion on the subject of the Union Bank Act, have acted with a liberality and candor, that must add dignity and importance to their institution; and must effect a reciprocity of mutual good offices, the benefits of which the community at large will eminently experience. Boston Columbian Centinel.
There are now Two Governors in New-York, say the writers in the papers of that State—Mr. JAY, Governor by The People, and Mr. CLINTON, Governor by The Law.
A writer in the American Mercury, says—"A number of people have for some months past been digging, at Wethersfield Rocky-Hill, for hidden treasure—Some of them have never seen the Devil; others, while digging, have seen what frightened them prodigiously; but none of them have seen the money. To prevent any further fruitless researches, we can, from good authority, inform them that Mr. Devil has removed his Strong Box to Pennsylvania." To corroborate which, he introduces the extract of a letter from Lancaster, which has been published in the daily papers of this city, which informs that a farmer in that county lately ploughed up a chest which contained nearly half a bushel of gold!
The time may arrive, says Mr. Necker, when fatigued of that ambition which agitates governments, and of the continual rotation of the same anxieties and the same plans, they may turn their views to the great principles of humanity; and if the present generation is to be the witness of this happy revolution, they may at least be allowed to be unanimous in offering up their vows for the perfection of the social virtues, and for the progress of public beneficial institutions.
ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Education is the discipline of human nature; without which mankind, "born like the wild asses colts," encrease in years and strength, to little better purpose than to be scourges to each other.
Providence, with existence, gives us the means to improve that existence for all the purposes of mental, social and political happiness;—but if, like "the field of the sluggard," these means are abandoned to the mere impulse of natural exertion, it is in vain to expect those delicious fruits which depend on the labour of cultivation.
The blessing of liberty was never a cheap purchase in the first instance—but to perpetuate the invaluable possession, with improvements, and to hand it down through a succession of ages unimpaired, requires not only a frequent recurrence to first principles, but also the continual vigilance of an enlightened series of patriots—and frequent sacrifices of private advantages on the altar of the public good. This cannot be provided for in any other way, than by making ample and cheap provision for the education of the great body of the people.
The tranquility of a despotic government depends on the ignorance of the general mass of the people, and the monopoly of learning in the hands of a few.—The peace of a free republic depends on an universal diffusion of knowledge.
Many persons seem to suppose that those who agree with them in political opinions, have made a monopoly of patriotism—hence the intolerant self-sufficient sentiments of many modern political writers—While they set up their own dogmas as the infallible creed of political orthodoxy, they condemn all who differ from them as fools or knaves. One would be led to suppose from these writers, that mankind have groped in Egyptian darkness from the creation to the present time, without one gleam of light to clear the gloomy passage of existence.
It is to be acknowledged that the present is an age of improvement in many essential objects of human concern—But while we study the volume of human nature, let us not pass over the chapter of EXPERIENCE; for what has been, is, and will be again—Virtue alone is the only foundation of confidence, that will not fail us.

SOCIETY FOR ESTABLISHING USEFUL MANUFACTURES.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Society for establishing useful manufactures, held at Newark, on Friday the eighteenth day of May, 1792, at which time was passed the following Supplement to an ordinance, entitled, "An ordinance for securing the punctual payment of the monies due on the subscriptions to the society for establishing useful manufactures."
WHEREAS by the third section of the ordinance entitled, "An ordinance for securing the punctual payment of the monies due on the subscriptions to the society for establishing useful manufactures," it is ordained, that if any subscriber or his assigns, shall neglect to pay the second, third or fourth payment of his, her or their respective subscriptions, for the space of three days after the expiration of the time limited by the law of incorporation for the said payments, that is to say, the second payment, on the 13th day of July, 1792: that then and in that case, all and every share or shares, of such person or persons, so neglecting to make such payments as aforesaid, and the monies by them previously paid, shall be forfeited, and forever thereafter vested in the said directors and their successors for the common benefit of the said society.
And whereas circumstances render it inexpedient to exact full payment of the second instalment on the said thirteenth day of July next, or within three days thereafter.
Be it therefore ordained, by the deputy governor and directors of the society for establishing useful manufactures, that if the said second payment shall be made in manner following, that is to say, one equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of August next, one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of September next, and one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of October next, with lawful interest computed thereon from the said thirteenth day of July next, that then and in such case, the said penalty mentioned in the said section, shall not be exacted, any thing in the said ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding.
