R E P O R T OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE COD AND WHALE FISHERIES. No. XIII. [CONTINUED.]
THE instances which have proved profitable to the owners are but few; greater losses are to be apprehended from the present high prices of all the necessaries and materials. To clear the expenses of a voyage, each vessel must at least bring a return of fifteen thousand guilders, exclusive of one thousand guilders for insurance, besides the yearly decrease of capital, which may be calculated on an average, at thirty thousand guilders for every vessel completely equipped, making the sum of three million eight hundred and seventy thousand guilders for one hundred and twenty-nine vessels which have been fitted out this present year, and which must each fetch out of the sea twenty tons of net goods to clear themselves. The prospect of doing this is very unfavorable, as all our neighbours use greater exertions in that trade than ever; to which they are encouraged by the aid of their respective governments, in particular the British, who allow forty shillings sterling per ton to each vessel which is employed in the whale fishery; by which means the number of their whaling vessels have, since the year 1749, (when the bounty was granted) increased from two to one hundred and nine vessels, which in the spring 1775, sailed from England and Scotland, measuring in the whole thirty-three thousand three hundred and eighteen tons, and amounting, at forty shillings per ton, to sixty-six thousand six hundred and thirty-six pounds, equal to seven hundred and thirty-two thousand nine hundred and ninety-six guilders, which amounts upon an average to six thousand seven hundred and twenty-five guilders for each vessel.
The fisheries in Sweden and Denmark have also received additional strength from the encouragements offered by their governments, without which they would have but little inducement to that trade; so that instead of Holland formerly exceeding all the other nations together in the whale fishery, they at present exceed the Dutch by one third in the number of vessels—nay, England alone now sends out nearly as many vessels as Holland.
Another obstacle presents itself with regard to the whale-bone trade. Of this article Holland formerly shipped five-eighth parts to Great-Britain, of which sale we are now deprived, on account of the high duty imposed on all foreign whale-bone imported into that kingdom, and which may be considered as an additional premium on the fishery of that nation, amounting commonly to fifty guilders per one hundred weight. Our exportation of whale oil is also on the decline. Hamburg and Bremen receive great supplies, partly from their own fisheries and partly from England and Russia, so as to be able to furnish the greatest part of Germany with that article. France and Spain are mostly supplied from England; and as it has been always computed, that three-fourths of the product of our fisheries are exported, the competition of those and other rival nations will scarcely leave a foreign market for us: our own provinces and the river Rhine, will be our limits.
Another disadvantage ought not to pass unnoticed, which is, that the prices of the produce of the fisheries are considerably reduced; the whale-bone of the latest voyage having already been sold as low as ninety guilders or less, which gives a loss. Oil may also, in case of a successful season, fall from sixty to forty guilders per twelve steken (sixty-three gallons); and in that case, vessels that return with one half or two thirds of their cargo, must sink money.
These are the most material circumstances that impede the progress of our fisheries. The effect of the premium granted by the
British parliament, has already been severely felt by our Greenland fleets, having, since that period, decreased one third in number.

FROM THE (BOSTON) COLUMBIAN CENTINEL.
MR. RUSSELL,
I HAVE assumed for a principle, that the English nation, having delegated all their collective power, have no right in their original character, to change their form of government, unless it has become absolutely inadequate to the purposes for which it was instituted. The people themselves, must from the necessity of the case be the judges of this fact; but if in forming this judgment, and acting in pursuance of it, they proceed from passion and not from principle, if they dissolve their compact from an idea, that "they have a right to do whatever they choose," and break the bands of society, in the forms of despotism, "because such is their pleasure," they may indeed go through the operation by the plenitude of their irresistible power, but the nation will meet with ample punishment, in their own misery, and the leaders who delude them, in the detestation of their own posterity. It is not by adopting the malignity of a political satyrist, by converting the follies of wit into the maxims of truth or justice, or by magnifying trivial imperfections into capital crimes, that a nation will be justified in resorting to its original strength, to contend against its delegated power. It is not a mechanical horror against the name of a king, or of aristocracy, nor a physical antipathy to the sound of an extravagant title, or to the sight of an innocent ribband, than can authorise a people to lay violent hands upon the constitution which protects their rights, and guards their liberties. They must feel an actual deprivation of their equal rights, and see an actual impossibility for their restoration in any other manner, before they can have a right to lay their hands on their swords, and appeal to Heaven. These are not the principles of slavery; they are the tenets of the only genuine liberty; which consists in a mean equally distant from the despotism of an individual, as of a million. They are sanctioned by our own uniform example, and will, I trust, never be departed from by the most enlightened, and most virtuous people on the globe. For sixteen years the people of America endured a continual succession of every indignity, which the pride of dominion, the insolence of power, and the rapacity of avarice, could inflict upon them, before they could resolve to renounce an authority, three thousand miles distant from them; and even then, they were so far from thinking they had a right to do whatever they chose, that by the very act, which renounced their connection with Great-Britain, they exposed to the world their own sufferings, and the various acts of tyranny, which had compelled them to "acquiesce in the necessity which denounced the separation," and, "appealed to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of their intentions." No, Sir, the venerable character who drew up this declaration, never could believe that the rights of a nation, have no other limits, than its powers.—Since the revolution, the people of the United States, have again been compelled to form a national government, and in its formation proceeded in the same spirit. The confederation was found totally incompetent for the purposes for which it was instituted; not from an abuse of the delegated powers, in those by whom it was administered, but because scarcely any powers at all had been given. The inefficiency of that system had long been fully demonstrated, and had reduced us to extreme distress. The States, United but in name, were upon the verge of general bankruptcy. Their credit sunk to the low-

Messrs. CHILDS & SWAINE,
IF the following hints respecting Toll Bridges and Turnpike Roads , will be of any use, please to insert them.
Roads and Bridges, especially upon the great post road, through the Union, are objects of national moment. Dispatch in a courier, may suppress an insurrection in the bud. Expediting the baggage or artillery of an army, one day, may save a seaport of first rate consequence, or a post, which is the key of the union. Shortening the distance, and lessening the time, which it consumes to assemble our national representatives, is a very important object. The speedy promulgation of their acts and proceedings, has the happiest tendency to preserve peace and good order, as well as to prevent the sudden passing of injurious laws. To commerce, it is of great consequence. The enterprising merchant makes his speculations, or saves his insurance, with advantage, and promptness. Early intelligence, and dispatch, are of very great use to him. The gentleman of fortune, or the invalid, travelling for pleasure, or health, visit various states and climes, and scan human nature in its varied modes and habits, with ease and safety. I conceive that Toll Bridges and Turnpike Roads , are the most effectual and most equitable means of accomplishing so desirable a business. The smaller advantages arising from them would be, impeding the importation of foreign convicts, vagabonds and paupers; detecting highwaymen, horse thieves, and other villains. I have heard that in England, if a gentleman is robbed, he gives notice at the first turnpike, the alarm is passed; and villains are often detected in this way. They generally keep the high roads to great cities; when they deviate into villages, and bye roads, every cottager notices the horse, and dress of the stranger; so will the toll gate man, for he may get a reward by it. If attention was paid to the selection of steady, discreet men, they might be clothed with the powers of a constable. Let us suppose that besides the bridges, there were ten toll-gates, between Paules Hook and Philadelphia: and that the whole amount of the toll, came to one third of a dollar, for each traveller on horseback, or in a carriage; I presume the product of this money properly laid out upon the roads, in three year's time, would save half a day's time and expences to travellers, who then would lose by it? or rather, who would not be benefited by it?
The comparatively little state of New-Jersey, has set a noble example of public spirit; she has no foreign commerce, and of course neither very prompt, or productive sources of revenue. She has undertaken three magnificent bridges. I could wish them ceded to the union, on the same footing as light houses. It would be no great affair for New-York and Philadelphia, to advance on loan, the sum requisite for their immediate completion. The two bridges between Newark and Paules Hook, will give access to a great tract of fertile country, between it and Morris-Town, near thirty miles back, to come to the New-York market, with great ease. Market people chuse in hot weather to travel in the night, with their perishable commodities; to cross ferries at all hours in the night, with horses, carts and waggons, is troublesome and dangerous, as well as very expensive. In cold weather, when the sleddding is good, hundreds of sleds will probably pass these bridges with loads of fire wood, poultry, meal and other provisions so as to reach the banks of the Hudson in season in the morning for market. Loads of fuel would scarcely pay the expence of the two ferries. In a severe season, the ordinary water communication which supplies New-York with firing is cut off, and wood is scarcer for the distance of forty miles by land, than it is within twelve miles of Paules Hook, on the Jersey side.
Should either our corporation, or individuals, form temporary magazines on the Jersey shore to receive the wood when scarce, they would find their account in it. Seldom a day passes, but a boat may cross.
So long as Philadelphia continues to be the seat of government, she would have a great influx of company, and money of course, from the states east of her, in consequence of good roads and bridges. February and March, are the most leisure months in the year, to men of business, to merchants and tradesmen; and at this very season, the floating or rotten ice, in my conception, makes the transportation of a family, from New-York to Philadelphia, by land, more dangerous than it is by sea, to Richmond, in Virginia. I have known instances of persons, having leisure only at this season, and wishing to go, principally from curiosity, whom the danger has deterred.
I hope the state of New-Jersey will proceed to set an example to her neighbors. That she will by turnpikes and tolls, tax pleasure, commerce, and speculation, for their own, and the
est ebb, was upon the point of expiring, and their exhausted treasury, gave perpetually the lie to their public faith so often and so solemnly pledged. The forcible ties of a common interest directed to one great object during the war, were greatly loosened by the accomplishment of that object, and the seeds of mutual hostility were sown, by the partial commercial regulations of the respective states. The revenue laws which had been enacted in several of the states, were not able to support their credit, and yet were so unequal in their operation, that numerous bodies of men in more than one of the states appeared in open rebellion against the mildest governments that ever were instituted. Instead of the glorious reward which the people had expected for their virtuous exertions, internal discord, and infamy abroad presented themselves in dreary perspective before them. At that critical period, when the system to be annihilated, was an empty name, and there was only a government to be formed, the national constitution was presented to the people of America "in their original character," and even then its existence was to depend upon the assent of nine states, that is two thirds of the people. Very fortunately it has at length been freely adopted by all the members of the union; but the extreme difficulty which impeded the progress of its adoption, and the various amendments, which in many of the states were in a manner made the condition of their assent, exhibit the fullest evidence, what a more than Herculean task it is, to unite the opinions of a free people upon any system of government whatever.
Under the sanction of such authority, I venture to assert that the people of England have no right to destroy their government, unless in its operation the rights of the people are really oppressed, and unless they have attempted in vain every constitutional mode of obtaining redress. These principles ought to operate with peculiar force upon the people of England, because in the uncertain and hazardous event of a revolution, they have more to lose, and less to gain, than any other European nation, and because whatever they may acquire, must in all probability be purchased at the expense of a civil war. When provision is made for the alteration of a constitution, otherwise than by the common legislative power, it may be done comparatively without difficulty or danger; but where this power is already delegated, with the other powers of legislation, the people cannot use it themselves, except in their original, individual, unrepresented character, and they cannot acquire the right to act in that capacity, until the power which they have thus conveyed in trust, has been abdicated by the extreme abuses of its administration.
When Mr. PAINE invited the people of England to destroy their present government and form another constitution, he should have given them sober reasoning, and not flippant witticisms. He should have explained to them the nature of the grievances, by which they are oppressed, and demonstrated the impossibility of reforming the government in its present organization. He should have pointed out to them some possible method for them to act in their original character, without a total dissolution of civil society among them; he should have proved, what great advantages they would reap as a nation from such a revolution, without disguising the great dangers and formidable difficulties, with which it must be attended.
The principal and most dangerous abuses in the English government, arise less from the defects inherent in the constitution, than from the state of society;—the universal venality and corruption which pervades all classes of men in that kingdom, and which a change of government could not reform. I shall consider this subject more largely hereafter; but at present with respect to the expediency of a revolution in England, I must enquire how the nation can be brought to act in their original character? Mr. PAINE, perhaps from the delicacy of his situation, has said nothing openly upon this very important point. Yet in two different parts of his work he seems obscurely to hint two methods for the accomplishment of this object. When he compares the situation of the citizens of London, to that of the inhabitants of Paris, just before the taking of the Bastille, it seems as if it was with an intention to recommend a similar insurrection for the purpose of dispersing the parliament, and expelling the king, which would leave the nation without any government at all, and compel them at all events to act in their original character. When he advises "Revolutions by accommodation," he must probably mean that a convention should be called by act of parliament to regenerate their constitution.—I cannot imagine any other method of answering his purpose. Mr. PAINE seems to think it is as easy for a nation to change its government, as for a man to change his coat; but I confess both the modes of proceeding which he suggests, appear to me to be liable to great objections.
PUBLICOLA.
public good; which they doubtless will cheerfully pay.
That to prevent clamour and opposition, she will permit persons inhabiting townships or districts, on the post road, to work on the highways as they have been used to do; to pass free into other districts, where they actually occupy, and improve lands or mills; or usually go to mill, to public worship, or to call the physician. That suitable exemptions will be made respecting the clergy, physicians, jurors, witnesses, &c. This is the age of revolution, and beneficial improvement. The human mind has burst its prison, and demolished the formidable battle of deep founded, strong built, ancient prejudice—Let us, reverencing the wisdom of our ancestors, pay no more respect to old customs, solely on account of their antiquity, than is due to an old man, merely for the length of his beard, or a long predicted comet, for the length of its progress and tail.

Messrs. PRINTERS,
NOW transmit to you for publication, the Census of Connecticut, taken in 1756, and 1762, by the King's order, which by being compared with the last return of the Census, taken in 1790, may serve to shew the rapid increase of population, notwithstanding the vast emigration from this State to others.
   WHITES. BLACKS.     In 1756, 128,212 3,587   In 1762, 141,000 4,590  
Increase in 21 years, 12,788 1,003
By the last return, made in 1790, there appears to be 232,371 Whites; so that the difference between the numbers in 1756, and 1790, (the term only of 34 years) appears to be 104,159 Whites, and 1,981 Blacks: The Blacks in 1790 amounting to 5,568. The difference from 1762 to 1790, is 91,371 Whites (the increase in 28 years) and 978 Blacks. So that the increase of Blacks in the last 28 years is not so great by 25 persons, as it was in the preceding 6 years.

THE ADDRESS OF THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA, TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
SIR, YOUR journey to the southward being extended to the frontier of the union, affords a fresh proof of your indefatigable zeal in the service of your country, and an equal attention and regard to all the people of the United States. With these impressions the citizens of Augusta present their congratulations upon your arrival here in health, with the assurance, that it will be their greatest pleasure, during your stay with them, to testify the sincere affection they have for your person, their sense of obligations for your merits and services, and their entire confidence in you as the chief magistrate of their country. On your return, and at all times, their best wishes will accompany you, while they retain the hope that a life of virtue, benevolence, and patriotism, may be long preserved, for the benefit of the age, and example to posterity.
In the name of all the citizens,
GEORGE WALTON, JOHN MEALS, THOMAS CUMMING, PETER CARNES, SEABORN JONES.
Augusta, May 19, 1789.
THE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER. TO THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA.
GENTLEMEN,
I RECEIVE your congratulations on my arrival in Augusta with great pleasure. I am much obliged by your assurances of regard, and thank you with unfeigned sincerity for the favorable sentiments you are pleased to express towards me.
Entreating you to be persuaded of my gratitude, I desire to assure you, that it will afford me the most sensible satisfaction to learn the progression of your prosperity. My best wishes for your happiness, collectively and individually, are sincerely offered.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
L O N D O N, April 26.
THE strength of the present Ministry does not so much consist in its political connection as in its incorruptible purity. There are no dark doings, no secret jobs—no bribe worthy services—all is open and above board, directed by wisdom, upheld by truth, and sanctioned by justice. Even the avowed political enemies of government are at a loss for any subject of complaint.
The Princesses of France, when they were the King's daughters, were something, now they are become the King's Aunts, they are nothing.—They are amiable, they are decent, they are innocent, and they are women, and while the privileges and honors of their birth are taken from them, they are not permitted to employ the liberty which is given them in exchange, in running away.
In Germany, an excellent and cheap die has been invented by Mr. Vogler, adapted to woolen and cotton manufactures. It consists simply of the seeds of the red trefoil, a plant very common in this country, and used to feed horses and cattle. A decoction of these seeds is mixed with different mineral substances, and the dies produced are very beautiful, and of a great variety. Among these are yellows and greens of different shades, as also citron and orange colours. These dies resist the action of the substances with which

trials are usually made, better than the common dies, and promise many advantages, if adopted, to the manufactures of this country.
Died lately, at Shirehampton, in his 81st year, after a long and painful illness, without a struggle or a groan, the Rev. Walter Chapman, Doctor of Divinity, Master of St. John's Hospital, Bath, Vicar of Bradford, Wilts, and Senior Prebendary of Bristol. He held the very valuable Mastership of St. John's Hospital 54, and Prebendal Stall in the Cathedral 45 years. He was not only a contemporary, and Fellow Collegian, but in habits of the closest intimacy and friendship with the late Dr. Samuel Johnson, Shenstone, and many other literary characters; he partook of their several excellencies, and was equally distinguished for deep and universal erudition, a brilliant and piercing genius, and a chaste classical taste. He was unrivalled in pulpit eloquence, the happy effect of which was experienced by numberless converts to the truth "as it is in JESUS." He bore his last fatal illness with manly fortitude and christian resignation.

The ships now employed by government to carry out convicts to Botany-Bay are, by stipulation with the East-India Company, to load home with Cotton.—This may be a very pleasing circumstance to the manufacturers, but cannot be very agreeable to our Planters, whose interest is never permitted to stand in competition with that of the East-India Company.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) April 16.
Saturday morning, in consequence of a disagreement of some standing, a rencounter took place between Robert Ewart and Walter Brett, Esquires, in the piazza adjoining Edie's coffee-house, in which the former received a pistol shot in his body, which almost instantaneously put a period to his existence. An inquest was immediately held on the body, and several witnesses examined, when the verdict returned was, "That Robert Ewart, the deceased, did on the nineteenth of April, assault Walter Brett, of the parish of Kingston, gentleman, with a whip, which he, the said R. Ewart, then and there had in his right hand, and did strike the said Walter Brett several times with such whip: whereupon the said Walter Brett, in his own defence, drew a pistol from his pocket, and then and there shot the said R. Ewart through the body, by the means of a ball, which the said W. Brett, in his own defence, fired from the said Pistol; by means of which shot or wound, the said R. Ewart came by his death." Mr. Brett immediately surrendered himself to the officers of justice. On the inquest, a loaded pistol was found in the pocket of Mr. Ewart.
On Tuesday Mr. Brett was removed by habeas corpus, from the goal of this town to Spanish-Town, and entered into recognizances before the hon. W.

Wednesday the grand jury found a bill against Mr. Brett, for the murder of Robert Ewart: and yesterday his trial came on at the court house, when after a long and patient examination of evidence, the general tenor of which went to exculpate the prisoner, and to involve in inextricable infamy the character of the deceased, a few arguments were heard from counsel on both sides, and the jury, without hesitating, returned a verdict of not guilty ; to the satisfaction of a crowded audience, who testified their approbation by repeated shouts of applause.—The trial lasted from eleven o'clock in the forenoon, until near six in the evening.
The advance in the price of raw sugars has, as it might be expected, had considerable effect on the retail price of what is refined; single is now at fifteen pence per pound, powder-loaf at eighteen pence, and double refined at twenty-one pence halfpenny.
There are said to be, at this time, upwards of thirty sail of large ships engaged in the African slave-trade alone, at the port of Havre de Grace, which trade the merchants there carry on with a very high hand; notwithstanding our humane slave bill has actually caused a very considerable rise in the price of slaves, not only in the West-Indies, but on the coast of Africa likewise.
GEORGETOWN, June 8.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman now in Philadelphia, to his friend in this town.
"If a town be not formed accommodating, tolerably commodiously, the government and its numerous followers, delay will be urged by the partisans of Philadelphia, at all events, if not a change of the place of Permanent Residence—with what success, may be conjectured, from the near equality of partisans for and against Potowmack. Therefore it behoves those, who consider the public happiness to depend, in some degree, on a central governmental station, to stir in due season, and to promote with zeal those measures which will remove all the existing obstructions."
"As for the little politics of your town, and your neighbourhood, it is not for me to determine between you—Suffice it, that you will all be right if the Public buildings are so placed as to encourage private improvements, where, without such aid, they would go on with the most rapidity—And you will as certainly be all wrong, if the situation of the buildings should have a tendency to encourage private improvements, where, in the nature of things, they cannot grow into importance in so short a period as ten years. I look not forward to a century hence; nor is it now the question, what events may arise in 50 or 100 years.—Remember that your time of probation is only nine or ten years!"
A Correspondent informs, 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?)
JAMAICA, April 9. Capt. Hanna, lately returned from Virginia to this island, discovered on his passage, in lat. 19, 53, N. long. 63, 40, W. a ridge of breakers, stretching north and south, about a quarter of a mile in length: they lie a little above the surface of the water; and as the weather was moderate, Capt. Hanna could the more easily determine their situation and appearance. They are not laid down in any of the charts, so far as can be discovered.
Philadelphia, June 29.
The PRESIDENT of the United States has been pleased to appoint OLIVER WOLCOTT, jun. Esq. Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States.
Saturday last arrived here from Charleston, the Hon. RALPH IZARD, Senator, and WILLIAM SMITH, Esq. Representative of the State of South-Carolina in the Congress of the United States.
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, Esq.
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 in to the Massachusetts Bank.
By a proclamation of the 18th ult. of the Governor of St. Kitts, the provisions mentioned in an act of parliament prohibiting an intercourse between the United States of America, and the Islands, are suspended until the twentieth of August next.
The Right Reverend Bishop Carroll, before he left Boston, on his return to Maryland, suspended Mr. Roussel from his ministerial functions, and confirmed Mr. Thayer as Pastor of the Roman Catholic Church of that place.
The Legislature of Massachusetts is prorogued to the second Wednesday of January next—previous to which, the further consideration of the petition from the inhabitants of the District of Maine, that the Eastern part of the Commonwealth might be separated and made an independent State, was postponed to the next session.
In the English papers, there is a royal proclamation, and a reward of 100 guineas offered for discovering and bringing to justice Richard Perry, of Bristol, charged with having feloniously and forcibly taken away, and compelling to undergo a form or ceremony of marriage in Scotland, Clementina Clarke, an infant of the age of fifteen years.
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 favorably 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 the Turks. Commercial douceurs 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 favor 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 tho' 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 this 25 millions from darkness to light, and to transform them from idolators of the Church, the Pope, and the Grand Monarque, that
they may become enemies to all three—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 they 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 tranquillized 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 who 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 frontiers—time, the great interpreter, will ascertain the truth of all reports.
"Who shall decide when Doctors disagree?"—But do they so essentially differ that their advice cannot safely be followed? The conduct of mankind in general puts a negative on the question. At the last extremity, at least, the Doctor must be sent for—and if we have faith in their prescriptions at the most critical and difficult moment, surely it is more rational to take their advice, when disease has but just begun its attacks, and when nature is able to cooperate with art and medicine in our favor. Intemperance is said to destroy more than the sword; but it may well be queried whether want of information does not destroy more than either. The Faculty have long since had my applause awarded them; as professional men, their benevolence and philanthropy is abundantly exemplified. May they not still add to the lustre of their character, by publishing in those vehicles which insinuate themselves almost every where, such hints, cautions, admonitions, advice and prescriptions, as the season of the year, and the apparent state of the public health may require?—There is but one objection to this proposition that I can think of—and that shall not be mentioned.
For the last fifty years the world has been amused with the dreary anticipations of gloomy speculatists, who have been continually predicting 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 their national debt: He has sunk more than six millions of the capital during his administration, which is at 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 the whole debt of Great-Britain, and they will be convinced that such a bankruptcy would not produce greater mischief than such an immense sum of the precious metals as would in that case inundate the country.—The effects with Mr. Pitt are to preserve the respectability, the peace and wealth of his country—these are the only solid basis on which the industry of a country rests—an undisturbed productive industry will work out the political salvation of any country on the face of the globe.

A TREATISE
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF
RELIGIOUS OPINIONS.
BY M. NECKER.
Extracts from the Monthly Review, vol. 78, page 598.
De l'importance des opinions religieuses. By M. Necker.
THE offering here made at the shrine of religion, by a man of
business, a man of true political wisdom, and a man of the
world, in the city of Paris, is a curious phenomenon.—It is also a
noble one—and gives M. Necker, who has been long esteemed for
his great capacity, literary merit, and eminent virtues, a new and
distinguished title to the veneration of the public. It has been this vir-
tuous man's destiny to arrive at eminence in every line that he has
pursued, from the counting house to the throne of the cabinet.
And it is impossible, if we read the work before us with candour
and attention, not to see that both his head and his heart make a
distinguished and affecting appearance in the cause of religion.

Public Notice is hereby given,
to all whom these presents shall come, or in any wise concern,
That JAMES GARDNER, late of Wilmington, North-Carolina,
deceased, did make four promissory notes payable to SAMUEL
JACKSON, of Philadelphia, Merchant, all bearing date the 19th
July, 1785, one for three hundred and seventy-one pounds, pay-
able in six months—one for seven hundred and forty two pounds,
in nine months—one for seven hundred and forty pounds, in twelve
months—and one for seven hundred and forty-five pounds thir-
teen shillings and three-pence, in fifteen months, amounting in the
whole to two thousand five hundred and ninety-eight pounds thir-
teen shillings and three-pence, and payable in produce at Wil-
mington:—Which said notes have been assigned by the said Sa-
muel Jackson to THOMAS MACKIE and Co. and JAMES
HOOD, Merchants, Philadelphia, and have since, in the life-time
of the said Gardner, by him been accounted for and paid in part
to the amount of two thousand and forty-seven pounds fifteen shil-
lings and six-pence, to the said THOMAS MACKIE, and Co.
in proof of which the subscribers have sufficient vouchers.
These are therefore to caution all persons from purchasing said
notes as they will not be taken up.

New-Haven Wharf Lottery.
THE Legislature of the State of Connecticut, at their session in
December last, granted a Lottery for the purpose of extend-
ing Union Wharf, in the harbour of New-Haven, to the channel;
and appointed the subscribers managers, who having given bond
for the faithful discharge of their trust, present the public with the
following

The public utility of extending this wharf, is too evident to re-
quire any comment, to those who are acquainted with the town
and harbour of New-Haven; to those who are not, suffice it to say,
that its beautiful situation is not surpassed, if equalled by any; be-
ing in the heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be said
to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the sound
but by reason of the flats, this wharf is necessarily extended to the
channel, where ships can load and unload; and when compleat-
ed, will be the most extensive and commodious wharf in America,
the whole extent being about 3-4ths of a mile; and not only the
mercantile interest of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the
maritime interest of all the States will be benefited by it. The
general wish that prevails in the minds of all classes of people, for
the success of this enterprize, together with the very great advan-
tage which this scheme holds out to adventurers (there being more
capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet published in
America) induce the managers to believe the tickets will meet with
a speedy sale.
The drawing will positively commence at the State-House, in
New-Haven, on the 13th of September next, or sooner, if the
tickets are sold.
A list of the fortunate numbers will be published, and the prizes
paid on demand, by the managers. Those prizes not called for in
nine months after drawing, will be deemed as generously given
for the use of the wharf, and appropriated accordingly.
