That black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, and mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—vaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III. In justice to this excellent Romance, we must remark, that the Grand Dramatic which for several seasons past drew full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; and the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary to the publishers.
Five editions of this Romance were in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, Lewis.

PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon,
Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres,
SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Francis Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
When we consider the changeable temperature, the frequent rains and fogs, the chilling winds, the gloomy skies of Britain, described by Tacitus in the first century ( Tacit. Vit. Agric. ); and which still form the character of our climate; we must admit that our situation is in many respects unfavorable to the growth of wools of the best quality. The fleeces frequently drenched in rain; their natural yolk mixed with the soil and washed away; and the animal long exposed to the chilling effects of evaporation, or a sudden change of temperature; all these causes constantly operating, must tend to prevent the production of wool, which may equal that grown from the same sheep, in a drier, and less changeable climate. Fortunately an easy and simple method presents itself of counteracting the influence of these causes, and we must avail ourselves of it, to provide a remedy for the inconveniences of our situation, or in vain may we attempt to rival the flocks of Spain, or Saxony, whatever be the breed of sheep we introduce. The hair may remain fine for some generations, but the soundness of the fibre, and its soft silky qualities will be lost. I am informed that the fine flocks of Saxony, are either clothed or housed in winter, to keep the animal warm, and the wool dry and clean. In Spain the attention given to sheep, by changing their situations with the seasons, is well known; and the advantage which the wool receives by the animal being kept in a more equal temperature is considerable ( Vide conclusion of chap IV ) but in England, where great attention to external causes acting upon the animal is more requisite, it is generally neglected. In the northern countries, and in Scotland, the inclemency of the winter impels the shepherds to provide some defence for their flocks: but it is done to preserve the animal, with little attention to its effects on the wool. It will be shown, that the increase and improvement of the wool, and the preservation of the animal, may be ensured by the same means, not only in the northern counties, but in every part of our island; and that in all situations, the wool may also be defended from the injurious effects of a calcareous soil.
The similarity between wool, hair, feathers, and horn, stated in the last chapter, may seem to be an enquiry more interesting to the physiologist than the wool grower; it is however immediately connected with the object of the present treatise. I was led to the application of it, by observing the well known effect produced on human hair, when daily washed with soap and water, and comparing it with the same hair washed less frequently, and sometimes rubbed with an ungent, as oil or pomatum.—By the former practice it became hard and bristly, by the latter it was rendered soft and pliable. A little time after, an intelligent clothier in my neighborhood, who kept a small flock of fine woolled sheep, informed me he had adopted the reprobated practice of our more northern farmers, of rubbing the sheep with a mixture of butter and tar. He could speak decidedly to the improvement the wool had received by it, having superintended the whole process of its manufacture. The cloth produced was superior to what ungreased wool could have made, if equally fine; it was remarkably soft to the touch, had what he called, "a good bottom, a good top, and a good hand, or feel," viz. the appearance of the threads were nearly lost in a firm even texture, covered with a soft full pile. The resemblance between wool and hair, already mentioned, presented to my view the cause of this amelioration. The wool had been defended from the action of the soil, the rain, and the air, on its surface, and had been kept soft, moist, and pliable, by constant contact with the unctuous mixture. Reflecting on the well known power of unguents to soften hair, horn, and other animal substances, it appeared surprising that its application to wool for the same purpose, had not been more generally practised. From the similarity of wool to these substances, it occurred to me, that covering the fleece with unctuous matter
would, in almost all situations, improve its quality, and this in a degree greatly beyond what the simplicity of the means would at the first view induce us to believe. A further investigation has given me the most ample and satisfactory proofs of the truth of this conjecture, and has enabled me to state as a general position, that by the application of a well chosen ungent, wool may be defended from the action of the soil and elements, and improved more than can be effected by any other means, except an entire change of breed.
Not only will the quality of the wool be ensured by this practice, but it will become finer, and the quantity will be increased: it is also found to preserve the sheep in situations where they would inevitably perish, without this defence. Where the practice of greasing the sheep has prevailed, the great quantity of tar which was always combined with the ungent, prevented the advantages of its application to the wool from being discovered; and the breed of sheep on which it is most practised, is naturally the worst which exists in Britain for the production of wool. It is only in Northumberland, and in some parts of the neighboring counties, that flocks of fine woolled sheep have received the benefit of greasing with a mixture, in which the tar being the tar used was merely sufficient to give it tenacity. The ignorance or the selfishness of the wool-buyers, for a long time prevented the acknowledgement of the advantages which the wool received from the ointment. Many were afraid to purchase it, from the extra weight of grease in the fleece, and made its dirty appearance a pretence for reducing the price below what ought to have been allowed for the weight of the ointment it contained. The nature of this wool is now better understood; when sorted, it is purchased by the manufacturers of colored cloth, in preference to any other. The same preference is given to the cloths when sold in an unfinished state, in the Yorkshire cloth-halls, and they always have a ready sale, whatever may be the general depression of trade.
When these cloths are finished, their superiority is still more apparent. I am informed from authority which I cannot doubt, that many cloths made from greased Northumberland wool, have been sold as cloths made from good Spanish wool, and have equalled them in their texture and softness: ungreased wools equally fine, and manufactured in the same way, would have made a cloth, the value of which would not have equalled the former by at least thirty per cent.
These wools appear to improve and become finer in every process of the manufacture; the hard wools, on the contrary, appear to grow coarser by the same treatment. The difference, in this respect, is greater than could be supposed by persons unacquainted with the manufacture of each sort.

Latest London News
By the ships George from Greenock, Phocion and Amazon from Liverpool, arrived at this port yesterday, the London Mercantile Advertiser has the London papers to the 3d of July, and Lloyd's Lists to the 1st.
The papers do not furnish us with intelligence from Germany so late as was ready received by the Mentor from the continent.
Captain Connell of the Phocion has dispatches for government for our arrival in London.
We do not find that Mr. Jackson, the British minister had left England for the United States, or that his mission was where spoken of.
LONDON, June 29. The court martial on ad. lord Gambier will not commence for some time, as the witnesses are at sea; the hon. ad. lord Gambier is at Basque roads and capt. Rodd the indefatigable in the Mediterranean. The trial is expected to last several days. Lord Gambier has requested that the admiralty will enquire into the whole of his conduct while the fleet under his command was in Basque Roads.
It is confidently reported that the ad. lord Chatham is to be the commander in chief of the expedition now preparing to sail.
Report states that an insurrection has been broken out at St. Petersburg. A number of the nobility and men of influence have menaced the emperor with deposition unless he consented to order the return of the troops which were marching against the Austrians, and also immediately to negotiate a peace with G. Britain.
That there is no intention on the part of the French and Dutch governments to relax in the execution of their severe commercial decrees, even at the present critical moment, which might suggest moderate forbearance is shown by the following answer, which was recently given in England to a petition for leave to discharge some American ships.
"The director of public concerns on the river informs Mr. —, that, in conformity with his majesty's orders, his petition respecting the American ships, cannot be complied with. That although it affects his majesty's commerce, in order to avoid inconveniences, he cannot revoke the existing orders. All American ships laden with goods which are allowed to be imported will be admitted, but should their cargoes consist of cotton produce, though they should even come from Dutch colonies, they must be detained in the king's warehouses until a decision takes place, or wait the event of more favorable circumstances or times.—June 29."
Portuguese papers to the 7th ult. have been received. The intelligence they bring is of a general not very important. They state, however, that a vessel had arrived at Lisbon the captain of which reported that an insurrection had taken place at Genoa, and that the Genoese had put all the French in the city to death.
A gentleman who left Holland on Tuesday last, arrived in town yesterday. He states, that before he left Amsterdam a general ferment prevailed in the public mind, and the people seemed inclined to oppose the measures of their government, and that an insurrection having broke out in Flanders, greatly tended to augment and keep alive that spirit of disobedience which was on the point of open revolt.
This morning, government received intelligence that one of our cruizers, arrived at Hamburg from the Dutch coast, intelligence of extraordinary exertions making by king Louis to raise and embody all persons capable of military service. This force, when embodied, was to be marched to the frontiers of Westphalia, where, it was not concealed, the situation of his brother Jerome had been very perilous. A letter from Rotterdam dated on the evening of the 26th ult.
"It is expected that the king of Westphalia, has in consequence of a general motion amongst his subjects, by which he had taken refuge in Frankfurt, the inhabitants of which city are even apprehensive of a hostile visit from the insurgents."
Letter were received from Amsterdam of so late a date as the 28th inst. They write that no account of the second battle between the two grand armies had reached them; it was certain, however, that the part was in an awkward predicament, and was completely kept in check by the

duke Charles, while the whole of the Tyrol was up in arms, and the north of Germany was in possession of the Austrians. It was understood in Holland that all the Dutch ports would be closed on the 20th July, but on what account was not heard. American vessels would not be admitted according to the present determination of the Dutch government.
The marquis of Wellesley has been prevented from setting off upon his mission to Spain on account of indisposition. The noble marquis being recovered, he will leave London on Monday for Portsmouth, to proceed to Spain. He will be accompanied by Lord Apsley, the son of earl Bathurst.
The expedition, which is now in great forwardness, will certainly be ready to sail in a week. We lament to state that government have experienced great difficulties in the procuring of transports. The American merchants have this day been informed, that such American ships as can be at Deptford early in the week, may be engaged for a three months service, at 25s per month.
July 2. We hear with much pleasure that accounts have been received by government, of the French having been repulsed with considerable loss in several attempts which they made on the 15th, 16th, and 17th ultimo, to cross the Danube, in the neighborhood of Presburg. The details of these expeditions are unknown; but the fact of the defeat of the enemy is so far credited by ministers, as to have induced their communication of it to Prince Stattenberg, and to the Spanish ambassador.
Some of the German papers talk of negotiations for peace. We trust there is no foundation for them—for what real good could result from them. Bonaparte would return to France, not with more pacific sentiments in his heart, but with a determination to make war the moment a more favorable opportunity presented itself. Surely Austria and every state must now be convinced that there can be no end to war but in the overthrow of him who is the author of it.
July 3. We understand that the American consul here has received information from the American consul at Amsterdam, that the existing state of affairs between the United States and France rendered it hazardous for American vessels, particularly with colonial produce, to proceed at this time to the ports of Holland, as some, which had already arrived, were under difficult and embarrassing circumstances. Tobacco and pot ash, however, are allowed by law to enter, but on a view of all circumstances, those concerned will judge of the risk they run in proceeding there at this moment.
The king has been pleased to constitute and appoint the right hon. Grandville Leveson Gower, (commonly called lord Granville Leveson Gower) to be his majesty's secretary of war.
It was expected, on Saturday, that orders would be issued for an immediate embargo at all the out ports. The proper officers were in waiting all day at the custom-house.
The preparations for the grand expedition are carried on with great activity. A very large fleet of men of war is collecting at Spithead, to take the troops on board, the force being so great that transports cannot be procured to carry them. They are to take on board both horse and foot soldiers. The following are the regiments that are to embark there. Three squadrons of the 9th light dragoons, two companies of the 95th line corps, the 68th, 71st, & 85th light infantry. The 5th, 23d, (2d bat.) 26th 52d, 36th, 8th, (2d bat.) 83d and 89th regiments. These troops are to encamp on ground between Haslar and Fort Monckton, and on Yare Common, near Gosport. The royal artillery, 1000 strong, the 2d battalion on royals; 2d battalion 35th; 2d battalion 81st, 2d battalion 14th, 51st, and the 2d battalion 63d regiments. These regiments are to encamp on South Sea Common, until the whole come in. The 5th, 8th, 22d, 26th and 35th, are arrived. The whole of the troops will have marched in by the 10th instant. Gen. Sir Eyre Coote, Gen. Picton, and brigadier general Terrot, are the only officers yet arrived. Commissioner Bowen of the transport board, and major Nisbet, deputy quarter master general of the district are come to superintend the arrangement necessary for the embarkation.
Ships at present now ordered to be victualled at Portsmouth, for the service and taking in their lower deck guns to afford accommodation for the troops, are, we understand the following, consisting of 22 sail of the line, 6 frigates and 2 bombs. More are expected. Eagle, Impetueux, Revenge, Hero, Valiant, Venerable, Superb, Ganymede, Centaur, Aboukir, Marlborough, Royal Oak, Alfred, Ceasar, Monarch, Minerve, Bellona, Orion, Achille, Reso-
lution, Repulse, Illustrious, Impetueux, Rota, L'Aigle, Pearl, Pallas, Dryad, Devastation, and Vesuvius. Rear admiral Otway has hoisted his flag on board the Monarch, 74 captain Lee being appointed to a command in the expedition.

Colonel Washington Morton, who sailed in her from Portsmouth with dispatches from the American government, for that of France, landed there on the 21st last, but it was with great difficulty that he obtained permission to go on shore.
Yesterday we received an Amsterdam paper of Tuesday last, together with several German Gazettes to the 20th ult. The information which they furnish will be read with interest, principally as shewing the great embarrassment to which Bonaparte is reduced, and the successes which have attended the patriotic exertions of the Tyrolians.
The communication between Munich and Vienna has become so insecure from the incursions of the Austrians and Tyrolians, that 5 waggons loaded with specie, which were proceeding from Munich for the payment of the French army, had on their arrival at Markel, been obliged to return to Munich, and it was supposed would be sent for greater security to Munich.
The most important successes continue to crown the patriotic exertions of the Tyrolians. They have compelled the Bavarian Gen. Deroy to fly from the strong position of Kufstein, after two days fighting and to retire by Wischbachau towards Munich. Gen. Picard at the same time had been driven from Kempton, and been pursued as far as Kaufbeuren, within 4 posts of Augsburg, while the Wirtemberg corps, under gen. Von Scheeler, has been beaten beyond the Schussen. Another corps of patriots, from Schernitz, had advanced into Bavaria, as far as Aibling and had on their route been joined by numbers of the inhabitants.
A body of Austrian cavalry from the Tyrol, has penetrated through Bavaria into Franconia, it proceeded by Eslingen and Giesslingen, and levied heavy contributions on its route. Gen. Moulin dispatched a corps of French and Bavarian horse from Augsburg, by Newburgh and Auchstadt, towards Nurnburgh, to watch their motions, at Dietfurth the hostile squadrons came in contact, and after a sharp action, the French retreated, and the Austrians continued on their route to Nurnburgh, where it is understood they joined the Bohemian corps under the command of the duke of Brunswick.
The archduke Maximilian, on retiring from Vienna, carried with him the whole of his own corps, together with 6000 men who had joined him on the 11th, under the orders of gen. Kienmayer, and this retreat which is represented in the French bulletin as the flight of a few individuals, was conducted with the greatest order.
A considerable number of troops have been stationed along the Russian coasts in the Baltic, under an apprehension of a descent from the British squadrons in that sea. Extraordinary exertions are making in Bavaria to recruit the army, and six battalions of reserve have been ordered. The people however are decidedly adverse to the service, and great numbers have joined the insurgents in the Tyrol.
The report of an embargo having been laid on the shipping at Yarmouth, and on other ports to the eastward and southward, is we understand totally unfounded.
Since the raising of the embargo in America, 150 sail of merchantmen have entered the port of Liverpool, whereas only 2 vessels have entered the port of London.
PHILADELPHIA, August 18. Yesterday arrived brig Ruth and Mary, Captain Gardiner, 64 days from Lisbon.

MONDAY, AUGUST 21.
By the arrival of the ship George, Crow, from Greenock, the ships Phocion and Amazon from Liverpool, the Editors of the New York Gazette, have received Greenock and Liverpool papers to the 5th and London papers to the 3d of July. These papers afford but little news of moment the accounts from the continent not being so late as those by the Mentor, from France. It will be seen by our extracts from Lloyd's list, that American vessels continued to pour into the different ports of England, where the markets for their cargoes were bad indeed, hardly any thing bringing more than first cost. Capt. Clark, however, informs, that about the time of his sailing, the markets were getting better, and some articles had sold at advanced prices, owing to an apprehension that our government would renew the non-intercourse in consequence of the objection to Mr. Erskine's arrangement. There was also a great demand for American vessels to convey troops, &c. to accompany the new expedition which was on the eve of departure from England. A temporary embargo was expected, to continue till after the sailing of the expedition, in which case, American vessels nearly ready for sea, will meet with detention.
We find nothing in the London papers about the sailing of Mr. Jackson, the new minister for America; but we learn verbally that it was understood at Liverpool that he had sailed.
N. Y. Gazette of Aug. 18.
Yesterday arrived here the United States' frigate Essex, of 32 guns, captain Smith. She came from Hampton Roads for the purpose of taking Mr. Adams and suit out to St. Petersburg; but they sailed from hence last Saturday in the Horace, and she has arrived too late. Letters from the south say, on receiving information that the Danes were capturing American vessels, and might possibly detain the Horace, the administration determined to send a public ship to carry the envoy out. A son of gen. Smith, of Baltimore, who we learn was to go out secretary of legation, has arrived in town. The Chesapeake frigate yesterday hauled into Charles' River, opposite the navy yard, where, we understand, she is to undergo repairs.
The Constitution frigate, we are told, has also been ordered to this port. [Boston paper, August 12.]
At a meeting of the American academy of arts and sciences, on Wednesday last, the hon. Joseph Quincy was elected corresponding secretary, in the room of the hon. John Q. Adams, resigned. [Ibid.]
A valuable SALT SPRING has been discovered at Butler, in the state of Pennsylvania, in the bed of Connequenessing creek. On erecting a dam round it, it rose two feet above the level of the water in the creek in six hours. It is said to yield 2 1-2 per cent and to be apparently inexhaustible. Fu naces have been erected, and from the abundance of stone coal in its vicinity, the working of the spring has been found profitable. [New York paper.]
LONDON, June 22. SWEDEN.
The new Swedish constitution is ready for presentation to the Diet, for its adoption or rejection. It consists of 104 articles, and seems to be founded upon the principles of the constitution of England. The nobles, contrary to expectation, have relinquished some of their privileges, which, it was suggested to them, militated against the general interests of the country. The eldest son only is to have the title, and to enjoy the privileges attached to the order of nobility, and not as heretofore claimed and enjoyed by the younger branches of noble families. The exemptions of land, the property of the nobility, whether obtained by descent or purchase, from the payment of certain taxes—a grievance which produced much discontent and inconvenience to the government itself, is declared to be abolished; so that landholders of every description will in future contribute equally to the exigencies of the state, and the commercial interest will be relieved from the necessity of paying beyond their proportion to supply the deficiency. The new constitution also provides, that the king is to be invested with the prerogative of declaring war and making peace. That a national court of judicature, wholly independent of the executive, is to be established for the decision of all causes between subject and subject; but whether state and criminal offences are to be tried by this tribunal, is not known.

JUST RECEIVED, For sale only by JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King street, The following highly valuable Medicines,
Price 3 dollars per bottle. Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL. THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have surpassed every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many testified proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO, Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE
YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
