AGRICULTURE.
Messrs. Printers,
AS the Crows are frequently very troublesome, by eating the Indian Corn after it is planted, I wish you to publish the following very easy method to prevent it: Dissolve three quarters of a pound of Salt-Petre in water enough to cover half a bushel of seed corn; let it soak three or four days; stir it carefully once or twice each day, that all the corn may be impregnated with it, and the Crows will not visit the field more than once, and then will eat but very little of it. It is also of great service against the Grub-Worm, so troublesome in low ground.
And Messrs. Printers, let me also recommend planting Corn the beginning of May, and if by a late frost in the spring it is killed, do not replant it, as it will sprout again, and before the fall recover its full growth, and be as forward as if the frost had not touched it. Many are so fearful of a frost in the spring, as to make it so late before they plant, that the corn is often hurt by the frost in the fall, which it can never recover.
A FARMER.
From the General Advertiser.
AN ACCOUNT OF A
NEW SPECIES OF WHEAT.
THE history of forward winter wheat, accidentally discovered in Virginia, is as follows: A Mr. Noll, in the county of Caroline, of that state, about seven years past, purchased of a merchant a quantity of mixed wheat, and having sown it, when his wheat was in flower, observed a single ear, almost ripe. Hence he conceived an idea, that it might be a different species. To determine this, he carefully preferred the wheat produced by this solitary ear, which has now multiplied to such a degree, as that several thousand bushels will be produced at the next harvest, it having been distributed into many hands.
But the character of this wheat deserves greater attention. And as in all probability, it has not yet entirely unfolded its qualities, it is much to be desired, that the best informed botanical knowledge, and the most accurate agricultural experiments, were united in its investigation.
The following observations, have, for their basis several trials upon different soils, made in the two last years; a term so short, that it would be dangerous to allow them an unspicious reliance.
This wheat ripens from 15 to 20 days earlier than any other; the straw is shorter by about one third, than that of any other kind, and the same proportion is maintained in the length of the ear. But the ear always possesses a full and permanent appearance. The straw is encumbered with very little fodder.
The circumstance of its ripening so early, produces the following important effects.
1st. It is never destroyed by the rust. An effect towards which the nakedness and lowless of the straw, by allowing more freely the action of the sun and air, must considerably contribute. Upon this point, the experiments appeared to be conclusive.
The two last years were singularly unseasonable upon wheat in general, after it was in the ear, where the experiments were made, and most so upon this particular species. But this bid defiance to the pestilence, and weighed above sixty pounds to the bushel, whilst all others suffered a loss of about one third in quantity, and did not in weight exceed an average of fifty-five. The experiments were made in six different places. Upon new, old, stiff, light, poor and rich ground. And the different sorts of wheat were sown on the same day, immediately contiguous to each other, early and late.

2d. Being ripe, before cockle have arrived to a vegetative state, it is never affected by that enemy. And it is probable that the seed of the wild onion, may feel a shock from the same cause. As to chert, it did not make its appearance among this wheat, but it is to be expected, this like other wheat is liable to degenerate into that weed.
3d. If vegetables extract much of their food from the atmosphere, as the experiments of Doctor Priestly seem clearly to prove, and if more of this food is obtained, when the air is condensed by a degree of moisture, than when it is in a state of rarefaction, it results, that this wheat cannot equally impoverish the soil, with any other species. Because it arrives to maturity before the heats of summer have driven down vegetables to pasture themselves almost exclusively, upon the store of food absorbed by the earth.
4th. Admitting this theoretick argument to be inconclusive, it will not weaken the force of another, which is experimental. Clover was sown upon four of the six lots of this wheat, and also upon its contiguous rival. The clover, and where there was no clover, the weeds succeeding this wheat, so far surpassed in growth, the clover and weeds succeeding the other kinds, that their superior luxuriance was distinguishable almost as far as they could be discerned. And though this effect should be attributed to the removal, of the forward wheat from the ground earlier than the other, yet it must still be acknowledged, that it will have a preservative influence upon the fertility of the soil.
5th. Wherever the climate will admit of artificial grasses, the last observation deserves considerable attention: And it may be enforced by others, having a similar tendency. Before, as well as after, the forward wheat was cut, the growth of the clover sown upon it greatly exceeded that of its neighbor, and it also came up better. Whether this is ascribable to the lowness of the wheat, and its not being burthened by any operative weight of fodder, or to any other cause, it is yet an effect, as recommendatory of it to northern climates, as its safety against rust is to southern. The product of the former, and it also acquires a strength of constitution, capable of withstanding the summer heats. These it almost universally survived, whilst the contiguous clover, debilitated by being oppressed with a greater burthen of straw, and to a later period, perished, generally in great quantities, and in spots, entirely.
6th. If Indian corn is cultivated to a considerable extent, it usually suffers at harvest. The harvest of the forward wheat is over, when the corn is yet young, and therefore recoverable; whereas it often happens, that it sustains irretrievable injury, by arriving to an advanced state, during the neglect incident to the latter harvest.
7th. When potatoes or other vegetables, which are gathered late in the fall, are used as a fallow crop, the repugnancy of this wheat to the rust, must be highly recommendatory, because late sowings are ever most liable to this distemper.
With respect to the straw, which is inferior in quantity to that of other wheat, about one third, it occurs to observe,
1st. That this circumstance produces a saving of near one third of the labor of cutting, gathering up, carting and stacking.
2d. That the wheat being short, never lodges.
3d. That it may be cut by the scythes, almost unexceptionably.
4th. That the straw is not liable to be damaged by the rust.
5th. That the grain before and after the wheat is cut, is not liable to an equal degree of risk with wheat carrying a greater burthen of straw, from rain, because this species dries faster, and is got in sooner.
It may be objected, that this circumstance diminishes the great fund for raising manure. To this it is answered, that the straw is only an offal of the crop. That no crop can be cultivated for the sake of the offal. That the impoverishment of the soil by the growth of straw, is probably equivalent to the quantity produced. That hence it may be inferred, that it will require the whole surplus of straw, produced by the latter wheat, to repair its surplus of injury to the soil, beyond the forward. And that if it was admitted, that a given quantity of land, in
the latter, would produce more straw, than the same quantity in the forward, it does not follow, that a similar effect would flow from a given quantity of labor; because the saving of labor being equivalent to the deficiency of straw, may be converted to the extension of tillage, and thus more than compensate for that deficiency.
Besides, if these arguments are just, they exhibit an article of agricultural economy of great importance. The whole labor of removing the surplus of straw—of converting it into manure—and of restoring it to the soil, is saved, and nothing is lost by this saving; because the late wheat does not rob the soil of this surplus. The forward wheat invariably produces more grain than the latter, in proportion to the straw.
The shortness of the ear is the next object of consideration, as it appears to prognosticate a diminution of the crop. It being evident that an ear, one third longest, must produce the most grain, if equally well filled. The last circumstance seldom, or never happens, but if it did, it ought not still to be conceded, that an equal quantity of land or of labor, would produce more later than forward wheat. Because,
1st. As to the land it may probably bear being sown one third thicker on account of the difference in the size of the straw, and if so, the objection arising from a supposed deficiency of that article, is removed. But if with an equal quantity of seed, the crop of grain will be equal, and land can bear more forward, than later seed, it follows that the crop per acre of the forward wheat will be greatest, whilst it will still impoverish the soil less, by reason of being separated from it sooner. The superiority of the produce per acre, is rendered still more probable, by estimating all the exclusive casualties, to which the later wheat is liable; and by recollecting that the heads of the forward wheat are almost invariably best filled, and the grain heaviest.
2d. Should this expectation even turn out to be groundless, as to an equal quantity of land, yet it may be safely affirmed, that an equal quantity of labor would undoubtedly produce an equality in the crop (supposing the two kinds of wheat to come to perfection) both as to grain and straw. This idea comprises the benefits arising from the culture of the forward wheat, within the narrowest compass, and yet excluding the considerations of less magnitude, an improvement of the soil and an evidence of the exclusive calamities, to which the later wheat is liable, are among the advantages which would still remain.
To form a comparative average of these rival crops, would require a long succession of accurate experiments, as the only means by which a just computation of the exclusive calamities so inimical to the later wheat, can be made. During the two years' experiments, before mentioned, the forward wheat was preferable to the latter in every respect, and in all soils. The crop exceeded by the acre, in measure, in weight, and as to the value of the straw. But these results do not furnish sufficient evidence of the consequences, in case both kinds should arrive to a state of protection.
The grain of the forward wheat is harder than any other with which it has been compared. It is also large, plump, white, and produces flour in quantity and quality equal to the best later white wheat.
This hardness of the grain conspires with the inferior growth of the straw and fodder, to lessen the liability of the forward wheat, to sprout in the field. An effect to which its ripening in cooler weather also contributes.
It is very probable that this species of wheat would be a beneficial acquisition to those countries, whose short summers, warm climates, or wet seasons, occasion many impediments in the culture of this grain. If it was introduced into Great Britain, and if it should be found that the soil and climate of America, operated particularly against its degeneracy, whilst that country would be greatly benefited, a new branch of commerce would be opened for this.
An agent at Fredericksburg or Port Royal, on Rappahannock river in Virginia, might probably be able to collect, as much as one thousand bushels of this wheat. The eagerness however with which it is purchased for seed by the neighboring farmers, and the smallness of the quantity yet grown, rapid as the encrease has been, have hitherto bestowed upon it a superior
ty of price over other wheat, from fifty to an hundred per centum. A circumstance which constitutes an encomium flowing from experiment upon this species of wheat.

ABSTRACT.
A Writer whose signature is "Homo" suggests that the danger of fires in populous places, resulting from wooden or framed buildings, is so great, as should induce the legislatures of the several states to forbid the erection of houses, &c. formed of wood only in towns or cities which contain 10,000 inhabitants or upwards. He proposes that all wooden buildings now erected in such places, should be taken down, and compensation made to the owners by the public—that all houses should in future be built with brick or stone, covered with slate or tile, and the use of shingles prohibited. He answers objections by saying, that the general is paramount individual interests; that the majority in free governments, have a right to make laws promotive of general and permanent good—that the loss would be temporary, and in a great degree imaginary—and would be succeeded by lasting advantages, taking into consideration the superior durability of brick or stone buildings to those made of wood, independent of the security and consequent tranquillity of the public mind, which would be consequent to the adoption of this plan.

CHARLESTON, April 30.
An affray took place yesterday on board the Apollo. Capt. Keown, of Philadelphia. A French lad, had been on the wharves to borrow a colour of one of the American ships. The sailors of the Apollo palled some jokes upon him, and he, not thoroughly understanding them, thought himself affronted. He left the ship, and shortly after returned with a number of Frenchmen dressed out with cockades, and who displayed the flags of both the nations. They went on board for an explanation. To make up the matters they insisted that one of the sailors should kiss the cockade, which he would not submit to. High words and blows ensued. The Frenchman most immediately engaged, drew a dagger. One Welch, received three wounds in his head. One by the name of Duncan was stuck by the dagger in the belly, tho' the physicians think he may recover
as his intestines seem not to be injured. The citizens assembled, seized and conducted them to the guard house. One or two Frenchmen were wounded with the weapons Nature has provided for our defence. In the afternoon, the French Consul waited upon the Captain on board. He being out, the consul desired he might be acquainted, that he was sorry for the accident; that he disavowed their conduct as subjects of the republic, and that he should be among the first to prosecute the villains to conviction. About 5 o'clock, we are informed, another sailor was wounded in the face with a cutlass, in Meeting-street, by a company of five Frenchmen.

EMBARGO.
Saturday last, a resolution was laid on the table of the House of Representatives, by Mr. Smith of South Carolina, for continuing the embargo to the 20th June. This day the subject was taken up—an amendment was moved to add, so far as respects vessels bound to the West-Indies—this motion was lost—and after considerable debate the question being put on the original resolution, it was negatived, sixty-three to thirty.
The New York Journal of Saturday, says, Mr. JAY, was to sail from New York, yesterday.

"Naked truth is always disagreeable to weak minds as they compose the bulk of mankind, she is the most hateful to the multitude. "I know it is as dangerous to write against popular prejudices as against tyrants. "Let us call back a few years, and see with what ardor the merchants cried out for a Spanish war; a few ships were plundered, a Captain lost his ears, no satisfaction would go down; even men of sense supported the party. "We sent a noble fleet; covered the sea with our ships, and the islands with our soldiers; but what return, we buried twenty thousand men without a battle. "Whence came the disappointment? from the war's being improper, and drove on by popular clamor. By believing those popular prejudices, or not daring to oppose them, the government was forced to carry on the war in unwholesome climates. "It is hurting a prince, or minister, greatly, to urge them by popular clamor to a war. A magnanimous prince, hearing such clamors, is unwilling to stem them, lest his glory should suffer; and a wise minister must give way to the joint cry of the people, and urge on the courage of the prince, tho' he knows the danger. "The merchant, manufacturer, shipbuilder, and infinite numbers employed in fitting out shipping, may cry out for war. "Great is Diana of the Ephesians, said the shrine makers: perhaps they would be less violent, would they but consider what a desperate reckoning was paid for their short harvest at the beginning of the late war. "As the war of 1755 was in great measure urged on by the merchants, so the treaty of Paris was rendered unpopular by the same merchants, who did not find that it gave them as many monopolies as they expected."
TRANSLATED for this GAZETTE.
From the Courier Francois of Saturday last. ST. DOMINGO.
The last event at Port-au-Prince has created consternation in every heart—It shews how much France is deceived by the usurpers who destroy the country in its name, whilst the English and the Spaniards under the pretext of preservation, or protection compleat on their part the ruin of this flourishing colony—(Of this several letters from St. Domingo assure us)—In this unfortunate city (Port-au-prince) the whites reduced to a state of weakness and nullity the most wretched, waited in silence a change in their situation, when Sonthonax and Monbrun, mutually jealous of their respective authorities, contemplated a decisive stroke to assure each to himself the superiority. Monbrun, sure of the corps of Equality of which he had attached to himself all the officers, troubled Sonthonax, who under the pretence that the English threatened Port-au-Prince, went to the prisons harangued the prisoners, and offered them their liberty on condition of their joining the battalion d'Artois, to compleat it—the prisoners consented, were armed and posted in one part of the fortifications, whilst the troops of equality occupied the other. This augmentation of force appeared to Monbrun a project to determine the inferiority of his party—he immediately formed a resolution to oppose it. On the night of the following day, Monbrun attacked the works with the corps of Equality; surprized the new battalion d'Artois and massacred a great number—the alarm spread to all parts—all the whites found in
the streets were shot. In this frightful confusion all the inhabitants, men, women and children, who could save themselves, fought refuge, some at Legogane, others at Archaye. Sonthonax seeing his party cruised, retired to Fort L'Heret, with about 80 whites, determined to defend themselves—Monbrun summoned him to surrender in an hour, or he would massacre all the whites in the city, men, women and children to the number of 250. Sonthonax seeing he could not resist, surrendered to Monbrun—the 80 whites he had with him saved themselves by fleeing to Legogane and Archaye. Behold then Sonthonax in the power of Monbrun, who will have an eye upon him. It is reported that five hundred whites were murdered on this occasion. That the negro Hyacinth released from prison by this event, marched immediately to Cul-de-sac, and entered the town with 6 or 7 thousand negroes—he has possessed himself of the Forts St. Joseph and St. Claire, determined to resist Sonthonax and Monbrun. Thus to the continual shock of authorities, the evil designs of foreign powers, perpetual divisions, the pretensions of one party, and the weakness of the other, may be ascribed the ruin of this miserable colony. For if all their efforts had been turned to its preservation, it is not law which they have abused, till it is lost would have destroyed them. Union would have been their security.
Translated from the Courier Francois of this morning. By persons arrived here from Port de Paix, St. Domingo, we learn that the Commandant Levaux and Col. Pageot, are determined to preserve to the French Republic the places which they have in their possession. They have a good Republican garrison who are resolved not to submit either to the English or Spanish. Levaux has taken the camp Fouache guarded by 150 English and some French who were made prisoners—He took this camp without firing a gun. The English and Spanish have no force—fickness has left but a few soldiers there—all the service falls upon the inhabitants who are exhausted by fatigue.
Extract from the New-York Journal of Saturday last.
"After spending the evening at the card table, and taking a social glass, I retired to bed, sunk to sleep, and dreamed that I was, on a morning, in the gallery of the House of Representatives in Congress. The Speaker, with either a penknife, or a key, I could not discover which, rapped on a table, and instantly all the gentlemen put off their hats and rose up. At that instant I saw, at the Clerk's table, a man of a grave appearance almost covered with a huge white wig, which had fifteen tails to it, and a sort of gown and cassock, in which green, blue, white, red, and black, were mixed in a manner I cannot describe. He opened a huge book, and read as follows: "From the triumph of passion over reason, Good Lord deliver us. "From national pique, Good Lord, &c. "From unjust modes of taxation, and foolish modes of spending money, Good Lord, &c. "From long speeches, made for the sake of speechifying, Good Lord, &c. "From offensive reasons, instead of real motives, Good Lord, &c. "From the clashing of the interests of merchants, farmers, artificers, fundlings and fidlers, Good Lord, &c. "From that European system of policy, which has ruined to many nations, Good Lord, &c. "From that plan of governmental management which is calculated to render the rich richer, and the poor poorer, Good Lord, &c. "From an heavy debt and reiterated loans, Good Lord, &c. "From national pride, and national prodigality, Good Lord, &c. "From the folly of encouraging commerce for the sake of enccreasing the revenue, Good Lord, &c. "From the nonsense of encouraging consumption for the sake of enccreasing commerce, Good Lord, &c. "From pushing commerce on a fictitious capital, Good Lord, &c. "From a wish to villify, and from fear to examine public measures, Good Lord, &c. "From a government addressed to the fears, rather than to the good sense, and sensible interests of the people, Good Lord deliver us. Amen. He ended with a groan of despair—bowed—went away, and wept as he went. Most of the gentlemen seemed displeased; a few seemed to be in unison with the
good man of the wig, while one, who I was told was a merchant, sat all the time eagerly attentive to a letter which he had just opened."

The "epigram on the writers of the democratic Society" is too long, it is rather an invoice of follies for sale, than a genuine Epigram—if the author will consolidate them in a well pointed mass, and strike out the severities on Mr. D. who is not deserving of quite so much, his epigram shall have a place.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and j in the word promise are not parallel, the i inclining much more forward than the j.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The signature I Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States.
JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America.

A New Novel.
To the LADIES of Philadelphia. This Day is Published by MATHEW CAREY,
118, Market Street, Price, bound, five-eighths of a dollar, sewed in marble paper, half a dollar, Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES. By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inquisitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of the over, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.
Said Carey has just published, A 2 sheet map of Kentucky compiled by Elihu Barker, price one dollar and two thirds.
War Atlas, containing maps of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Provinces, the Netherlands, and the West Indies. Price two dollars.
