ASSEMBLY OF THE JEWS IN PARIS.
CONCLUDED.
Question 9. Are these forms of election and the jurisdiction of these tribunals, directed by law, or merely established by custom?
Answer. The replies made to the two former questions, make any reply to this unnecessary. It may only be observed, that supposing the rabbies to possess any judiciary jurisdiction at this time (the contrary of which is the fact) or that there are any particular form of election, they must be the effect of custom, and not by the authority of law.
Question 10. Are there any professions, when the laws of the Jews forbid?
Answer. There are none: on the contrary the Talmud (Kiduschim, chapter 1) declares positively that the father of a family, who does not bring up his child to a trade, brings him up to be a highwayman.
Question 11. Does the law of the Jews forbid them to take usury of their brethren?
Answer. Deuteronomy, chap. 23, verse 19, "you shall not lend on interest to your brother, neither money, nor grains, nor any thing whatsoever."
The Hebrew word NECHEL , which has been translated by the word USURY , has wrongly been explained. It signifies in the Hebrew tongue, "any interest," and not an usurious interest: it has not, therefore, the signification which is now applied to the word usury . It is even impossible that it could have that signification, for that expression is relative, and there is nothing in the text which expresses its relation.
What do we understand by the French word usury ; is it not an interest higher than the rate fixed by law?
If the law of Moses has not fixed that rate is it possible that the Hebrew word should signify an illegal interest?
The word NECHEL is in the Hebrew tongue what the word FANUS is in the Latin.
In order therefore to induce one to believe that this word signifies usury, there ought to be another word which would signify interest; and since that word does not exist all interest is usury, and all usury is interest. What view may the legislator have had, when he forbade the Hebrews to take interest from one another? It was certainly to bring the ties of brotherhood closer among them, and to induce them to assist each other from motives of benevolence.
The first object was to establish among them equality of property and mediocrity of private wealth, in consequence of which the Sabbatick and Jubilee years were established; the former to take place every seven, and the latter every fifty years. The Sabbatick year abolished all debts, and the Jubilee restored all the property which had been sold or alienated. It was easy to foresee that difference of soil, more or less industry, and the common calamities of life, which would occur, would naturally produce inequality of property, and that the unfortunate Israelite, would require the assistance of the more fortunate. Moses did not wish that the latter should profit by the misfortune of the former, and that he should increase his misfortunes, by making him pay for the aid which the unfortunate should be compelled to ask, and become more opulent, as the other became poorer, and therefore he says "You shall not lend on interest to your brother." But what loans could the Jews make to each other in times like those; they had no commerce, and but little money was in circulation, and when property was more equally divided? It could be nothing else but a few bushels of grain, some cattle, or a few utensils of husbandry, which Moses commanded to be loaned gratis. He wished his people to be a people of husbandmen. Long after the time of Moses, and although Judea was situated near the sea, inhabited by the Tyrians, Syrians, and other commercial and maritime people, the Hebrews did not engage in commerce. All the ordinances of their legislator seem to divert them from commerce.
This prohibition of Moses is therefore not to be considered as a principle of commerce, but merely as a principle of charity; according to the Talmud the loan is only considered as neighborly, and as granted to one in want; if it was granted to a merchant, and if he was a Jew, it would be lawful to grant it under the condition of advantage, equivalent to the risk: The word usury had formerly no opprobrious signification, it merely signified any interest. A simple loan on interest, was not only prohibited between Jews, but between
Jews and persons of other religions. It must be free and gratuitous, whenever it has for its object to serve him who required it, and was not made for the purposes of commerce.
It ought however to be remembered that these wise and wholesome regulations, were made at a remote period from the present, and when the Jews existed as a nation of the world.
But when this unhappy people were dispersed among the nations of the earth, the duties and obligations imposed on them by their legislator, while in Palestine, naturally ceased with the changes of their condition, and tho' they delight in the principles of the law, yet as the reasons for the law have ceased, they do not now hesitate to lend money on interest to trading Jews, as well as other persons of different religions.
Question 12. Does the law prohibit, or does it permit the Jews to lend money on usury, to strangers?
Ans. We have shown in the answer preceding, that usury, considered as the smallest interest, is less a principle of commerce, than of charity and benevolence, and in this view it is equally prohibited by Moses and by the Talmud, and this prohibition extends as well to our own countrymen, who do not profess the Jewish religion, as to those who do. The spirit of the law, which permits us to take interest from a stranger, evidently applies to the nations with whom we are engaged in commerce, otherwise a palpable contradiction would be perceived in the following, and twenty other passages of the holy writings, "love the stranger, because the Lord our God loves the stranger, give him food and raiment. There shall be but one law for you, and for the stranger, who resides among you: Let justice be equally administered to the stranger as among yourselves. Cursed be he that do the least wrong to the stranger, treat the stranger as yourself."
The restriction then was applicable to the stranger, who resided in Israel; the scripture puts him under the safety of God—The stranger is a sacred guest, whom God has commanded us to treat as the widow and the orphan. It is evident then that the text which says " extraneo fuerabis et fratri tuo non fuerabis " is to be applied only to foreign nations, with whom we are engaged in commerce; and in this sense the scripture, while allowing interest to be taken from the stranger, does not mean excessive interest, oppressive to him who pays, and scandalous to him who receives it. " Non licuisse Israelites, say the Doctors, usuris immoderatis exigere ab extraneis, etiam divitibus, res est per se nota. "
Moses in being the legislator for the Jews, was not so for the world. The laws which he gave to the people confided to him by God, could not be supposed to be laws for all the world. "You shall not take any interest from your brethren."—What security had he that in the relations which were to be formed between the Jews and foreign nations, that the latter would renounce the customs of commerce, and lend the Jews without interest; it could not be supposed that he would sacrifice the interest of his own people who were poor, for the purpose of enriching foreign nations. It is absurd to blame him for the restriction made in this precept of the Deuteronomy. What legislator would not have considered it as a principle of natural reciprocity? How greatly superior in this instance is the legislation of Moses, how much more simple, more noble, more just, and more humane than that of the Greeks and Romans. Were there ever seen among the ancient Jews, any of those scandalous and cruel scenes occasioned by inexorable creditors? Were there among the Greeks and Romans, any of those frequent abolition of debts, for the purpose of saving numbers of miserable people, reduced to wretchedness and driven to despair by the exactions of the praters? as were seen among the Jews?
The legislation of Moses, and its interpreters have, with a laudable philanthropy, distinguished the different uses of borrowed money. If it is borrowed for the support of the family, the interest is prohibited. It is permitted when the loan is made for commercial purposes, which endanger the capital of the lender. This interest is permitted even from Jew to Jew. Lend to the poor says Moses, gratitude is in this case the only interest, and the reward for the service rendered is the satisfaction of having rendered it. It is quite different with regard to the rich who employ large capital in extensive trade; in this case he allows the lender to become an associate with the borrower: and since there was scarcely any trade among the Israelites, who were exclusively engaged in agriculture, and since what trade there was, was carried
on with foreigners, that is to say, with neighboring nations, it was to partake with them in the profits arising therefrom.
This caused M. de Clermont Tonnerre to deliver these remarkable words in the constituent assembly. "Usury, it is said, is permitted to the Jews. This assertion rests only on the false interpretation of a principle of benevolence and fraternity, which forbids them to lend on interest to each other. This opinion is that of Pufendorf, and of many jurisprudents. It is incontrovertible that interest is permitted among Jews when it is for mercantile purposes in which the lender, by running a share of the hazards, which the borrower runs, associates himself also with him for his profits. This is the opinion of all the Jewish doctors."
It may be noticed that the opinion contrary to social morality which a rabbi may have given, can by no means induce one to judge unfavorably of the Jewish doctrine in general: no more than similar ideas pronounced by Catholic theologists, would influence the Evangelical doctrines.
The same may be said of the imputation spread against the Hebrews, that they have a propensity for the infamous trade of usury. It cannot be denied that there are some, yet a very insignificant number, who follow that shameful practice prohibited by the law, but if very few deviate in that regard from the law, is it not unjust to charge 100,000 individuals with the same vice? Would it not be unjust to charge all the Christians with the same because some are guilty thereof?

SERIOUS THOUGHTS
On the probable effects of the Non Importation Act , which is to go into operation on the 15th of this month.
AS no man better understood the capacities and powers, as well as the interests and wants of different parts of the United States, than Doctor Franklin, his opinion on the subject of domestic manufactures and non importation projects, will have more weight than all the party publications which may be offered by the friends or opposers of the late non-importation act.
Extract from the 2d vol. of Franklin's Works, p. 242.
Several of the Princes of Europe, of late, from an opinion of advantage to arise by producing all commodities and manufactures within their own dominions, so as to diminish or render useless their importation, have endeavored to entice workmen from other countries, by high salaries, privileges, &c. Many persons, pretending to be skilled in various great manufactures, imagining that America must be in want of them, and that Congress would very probably be disposed to imitate the princes above mentioned, have proposed to go over, on condition of having their passages paid, lands given, &c. Such persons will find that congress have no power committed to them, or money put into their hands for such purposes, and that if any such encouragement is given, it must be by the government of some separate state. This however has rarely been done in America, and when it has been done, it has rarely succeeded, so as to establish a manufacture, which the country was not yet ripe for as to encourage private persons to set it up, labor being generally too dear there, and hands difficult to be kept together, every one desiring to be a master, and the cheapness of land inclining many to leave trades for agriculture. Some indeed have met with success; and are carried on to advantage, but they are generally such as require only a few hands, or wherein great part of the work is performed by machines.
"Goods that are bulky and of so small a value as not well to bear the expense of freight, must often be made cheaper in the country than can be imported, and the manufacture of such goods will be profitable beyond all doubt wherever there is a sufficient demand. The farmers in America indeed produce a good deal of wool and flax, and none is exported, it is all worked up; but it is in the way of domestic manufacture, for the use of the family."
"The buying up of quantities of wool and flax, with the design to employ spinners, weavers, &c. and form great establishments producing quantities of woolen and linen goods for sale, has been several times attempted in different provinces, but those projects have generally failed, goods of equal value being imported cheaper.—And when the governments have been solicited to support such schemes by encouragements in money, or by imposing duties on the importation of such goods, it has been generally refused on this principle, that if the country is ripe for the manufacture, it may be carried on by private persons to advantage; and if not it is a folly to think of forcing nature. Great establishments of manufactures require great numbers of poor to do the work for small wages; those poor are to be found in Eu-
rope, but will not be found in America, 'till the lands are all taken up and cultivated, and the excess of people who cannot get land want employment. The manufacture of silk is natural in France, as that of cloth in England, because each country produces in plenty, the first material; but if England will have a manufacture of silk, as well as that of cloth, and France of cloth as well as that of silk, these unnatural operations must be supported by mutual prohibitions, or high duties on the importation of each other's goods, by which means the workmen are enabled to TAX the home consumer by great prices, while the higher wages they receive make them neither happier nor richer, since they only drink more and work less. Therefore the governments in America do nothing to encourage such projects."
The people by this means are not imposed upon either by the merchant or the mechanic. If the merchant demands too much profit on the importation of shoes, they buy of the shoe maker; and if he asks too high a price they take them of the merchant; thus the two professions are checks on each other. The shoe-maker has however, on the whole, a considerable profit on his labor in America, beyond what he had in Europe, as he can add to his price a sum nearly equal to all the expenses of freight and commission, risque or insurance, &c. necessarily charged by the merchant—And the case is the same with the workmen in every other mechanic art."
If these judicious observations of the wise Franklin were applicable to the United States, before the acquisition of Louisiana, when Jefferson said, "we had land enough for the hundredth and thousandth generation to come," with how much greater force must they apply since that acquisition, with the addition of all the territories of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and the expected purchase of the Floridas? With such lures to tempt the independent spirit of man to settle in these countries, with such perpetual drains from the population of the Atlantic cities, with such immense regions to range in, and the facility of obtaining large landed properties for a mere trifle, where shall we find mechanics and workmen willing to endure the confinement of crowded cities and unwholesome work-shops, and the drudgery and slavery of laborers manufactures, in sufficient number to supply our wants and necessities? This important subject will be resumed.
REFLECTOR.
FROM THE BOSTON GAZETTE.
A GLANCE AT THE PASSING EVENTS OF THE TIMES.
IN India, the arts and arms of Britain, have completely secured the triumph of its jurisdiction over the principal part of the maritime and wealthy districts of that extensive empire. In prosecuting the late war in that quarter, the British East India company, who, in sharing the plunder and conquest which have resulted from every contest with the natives, have likewise been obliged to share in the immense expenses attending them, are now in a state of great pecuniary embarrassment. While these sacrifices were necessary to secure the future and permanent advantages of their conquests; they have operated favorably to the commerce of this country; not only in its direct trade to the East Indies, but the purchase of Asiatic goods in Europe.
The political affairs of Turkey have lately undergone a change, which promises a longer duration to its government than the events of the last two or three years foreboded. The administration of its civil & military concerns, have been arrested from the hands of men who were found to be mere mercenary tools and panders of the French government, and placed under the direction of those, whose talents and love of country have been found superior to personal considerations. Under the government of these men a new impulse is given to the state, which in its operation promises not only the union and support of its native energy; but the alliance and friendship of such powers as feel an interest in its preservation. The controul, or subjugation, of this empire, has long been a favorite measure of the French cabinet; and so well concerted have been the plans, by which it was to have been effected, that until a very recent period, the government of the Porte, were not to be convinced of the treachery of a power, whose friendship had been so speciously professed, and so flatteringly continued: the veil is however now rent, and pursuing the wise policy of its present ministers, the Ottoman Porte have adopted the means of securing the friendship of Russia and England, whose joint interest lead them not only to preserve and protect its sovereignty, but to succor and

support it against the encroachments of France.
On the continent of Europe, we behold a new and unexpected turn of affairs. It has been generally believed, that the successes of Bonaparte, during the late war in Germany, would put a finishing stroke to any future coalitions, hence the battle of Austerlitz, has been pompously termed in the Paris Moniteur, as the death warrant of any further combination against the mighty power of France; hence the boasting language of every Frenchman, that such was the power and extended dominion of that empire, no future evils could endanger its security, or disturb its repose. We however now see, that its security & repose is likely to be interrupted in a very serious manner. We not only witness that wherever courage is exercised, the brilliancy of French victories are robbed of their lustre; that the prowess of its arms, are checked and controuled by the undisciplined and unorganized peasantry of Italy; but we see, rising, in majestic array, a confederate power, whose strength and magnitude promises a formidable opposition to the pride and ambition of France; a power, whose well concerted plans, are not liable to the errors of the former confederacy; and whose spirit it is confidently believed, will not be broken down by any casual or momentary disaster.
Aware of the temper and discipline of the enemy; and learning, from experience, the mode of its warfare, the confederate powers will have the means of guarding against every surprise; they will meet their enemies on the open field, where prowess alone shall contend for victory; they will there determine the question whether the French Infantry are superior to any other troops in Europe. In this coalition, provided Prussia is sincere in her present declarations against France, and every thing which has lately transpired on the continent of Europe corroborates the belief that she is, we may pretty safely calculate, that before the war is ended, the power of France will be confined to its ancient boundary of the Rhine; that Germany will be restored, if not to its former extended sovereignty, at least to a situation more secure, and more consistent with its former dignity; that Holland will regain its sovereignty, and once more become a free and independent commercial republic; that the states of Italy, so long enfeebled by their own luxury and effeminacy; and since their conquest by the French, so cruelly and tyrannically governed, will be formed into one effective and powerful government, whose support and protection beyond the local vigor which may be infused into it, shall be derived from the northern powers generally. This measure should seem to be dictated by the strongest ties of policy and interest, as it will prove an eternal barrier against those schemes of conquest in the East, which Bonaparte has so long cherished; it will also serve to invigorate the bonds of friendship between the coalesced powers; and to that freedom and extension to the whole commerce of Europe, which must, on the common scale of human interest, be highly beneficial to them all. If it should be asked where is the physical force to secure these triumphs and these blessings? We answer, that the combined force now contemplated in the formation of the new confederacy against France, is stated a million of soldiers, beyond the ordinary succor which may be expected from a coalition of 40 millions of people, who have witnessed what sort of freedom the French confer on these they vanquish. This force may be thus arranged: Russia 100,000—Prussia, 300,000—Austria, 100,000—Sweden, 100,000. Of France, we find an evident embarrassment in its government, arising from unexpected measures which have taken place among the northern powers. The latter, and generally wary schemes of Talleyrand, appear to have been completely defeated, in the instance of the Russian treaty; and to have thrown the government into a dilemma, from which it is not easy to extricate itself. Even war, here, so confidently engaged in; and here so successful, appears to have lost its hope, and its influence on the public mind, in this situation of affairs, though Bonaparte, by the natural energies of his genius, may secure to himself the empire of France (proper)—Talleyrand is likely to be placed in a situation, where, he cannot find consolation in reflecting on the fate of Cardinal Woolsey, he may possibly be left to contemplate his own fate in the recesses of the modern Bastille, or the wilds of Cayenne. The state of political affairs in England has experienced no further change than what was to have been expected from the death of Mr. Fox. At our last dates which
was on the 19th September, public opinion was decidedly in favor of war, not only from the above circumstance, but from the favorable state in which the coalition of the northern powers then stood. Premiums were opened at the insurance offices, offering 100 guineas to 15, that war would not only be renewed, but that lord Lauderdale would return from Paris before the 22d Sept. The majority of the cabinet is now decidedly in favor of the war. The military system of Mr. Windham has added much strength to the regular forces—its navy is continually augmenting—and preparations constantly going on for the equipment of transports destined for the conveyance of troops to the continent.

COMMUNICATION.
COLONEL AARON BURR.
Our attention has been of late much excited by the publications which have appeared in a paper called the Western World;—Plots and conspiracies of various kinds have been announced in terms of such seriousness connected with details, which wear the appearance of probability. Among others who have been denounced, we have lately noticed the name of
Aaron Burr, esq. late vice president of the U. States.
It has long been the custom of many American writers, and publishers to treat the name character and conduct of colonel Burr with suspicion, accusation and contempt. He has been accused and denounced as a foe to his country, to its government and to the civil liberties of mankind; and so long and so frequently have such things been published, that no reader can be surprised to find some new accusation or charge against this distinguished character.
Under such circumstances the name of col. Burr, has been announced as a conspirator, for the purpose of effecting a revolution in the Western settlements and states of the union; the object of which would be to establish a separate government or empire beyond the Allegany mountains, and so far have these accusations been carried that many collateral facts of seeming importance have been referred to and relied upon.
One of these facts related to the employment of many young men of talents and distinction, who have engaged in some secret project, which they either will not or cannot explain. Another relates to the building or contracting for, a number of boats, such as seem useful in a military project. A third relates to the great resources in money which colonel Burr has lately obtained, either by drafts upon a merchant in Kentucky, or by his own drafts upon merchants in New York and Philadelphia.
To all those who were weak enough to imagine that col. Burr could be so great a fool as to attempt such a revolution as that which has been alluded to, these and some other matters of smaller import appeared to be strong proofs of a conspiracy. And as it has long been the fashion to accuse, and to criminate him according to the fears, hatred, or malignity of each writer, so it happened from these causes, that colonel Burr has been treated with as little respect as if he had been a public out-law.
In one of the western papers it is said that col. Burr has lately been at the house of col. Charles Lynch in Kentucky, where he remained several days. That Lynch some time ago had purchased an interest in the claim of baron Bastrop, to 30 miles square of lands in Louisiana, which the Spanish government had granted to him; that Bastrop was bound to settle a considerable number of families thereon, as one of the conditions of the grant.
Here then the whole mystery is unfolded. Bastrop being unable to fulfil his contract, has sold or confederated with Lynch—Lynch has either sold to or confederated with Burr; Burr has sold or confederated with other persons, who have sufficient cash capitals to make the necessary settlements.
Having made these arrangements, it was natural for col. Burr to engage young men of talents and enterprize not only to become settlers, but also to promote the general purposes of the plan. Young men of this description have been employed, and because the wise ones could not discern wherefore, they have thought fit to say, that the purposes were treasonable, and that col. Burr was not only the author, but the great machine, upon which all the minor parts of this supposed treachery and conspiracy, would or did depend.
After having mentioned this part of the project, the next thing necessary was to provide suitable boats, not merely such as
would do to go down the Ohio and Mississippi, but such as would be useful in other purposes, and at the same time to afford the means of annoyance if interrupted by Indians or plunderers. Boats of this description have also been provided.
Men and boats being thus engaged, there then would want nothing but money, or those articles of necessity which money would produce. According to the accounts which are published, it seems that colonel Burr has provided funds equal to 200,000 dollars. Now if all these things be true, what are the results? Plainly and simply these:
Col. Aaron Burr, a man of great talents and enterprizes, who has had many causes to be dissatisfied with the eastern parts of the United States, has determined to withdraw and settle in Louisiana. He has purchased or otherwise obtained the controul over large tracts of valuable unsettled lands and has employed persons to superintend the settlement of farmers in those lands. These farmers have been or will be obtained from the eastern states, and of course must pass down the Ohio by water to go to the lands in question. He has provided proper boats to remove these settlers and their families, and has also provided sufficient resources in money and other articles to promote and execute the intended settlements.
All these things being connected with the name of Burr, have induced some persons to publish, and many more to believe, that the whole was neither more nor less than an organized conspiracy, for the purpose of separating the western from the eastern states; that col. Burr was the organ & author of that great project; and that he had been urged to this act of superlative weakness, or rather madness, by motives of ambition or revenge.
These observations are not altogether predicated upon conjecture. There are some facts known to the writer which induce him seriously to submit these reflections to public notice. As a very little time will explain the whole mystery, if there be a mystery, or if there be any thing more intended than has been herein suggested, so therefore it will not be proper or availing, at this time, to add other conjectures.
It will afford to the writer much satisfaction, to find not only that so great a calamity as the dismemberment of the U. States is not contemplated by any one, but very particularly indeed will it gratify him to find that one of such rare talents as those of col. Aaron Burr has not sullied the lustre which is due to his name and to such exalted endowments, by designs which could not fail to embitter the latter days of his life, and to consign his name and his fame to execration and infamy.

The Boston Gazette, of the 13th inst. says, "Letters received in town last evening from Halifax, state that the schooner Mary Ann, John Anthony, master, was carried into that port 20th October, by the English ship of war Leopard, who took her on the 12th, in latitude 38, 13, long. 72, on her passage home from Porto Rico. Her cargo consists of 27 hlds. 480 bks. sugar: 229 bags and 50 bks. coffee: 400 hides and 9 tons fustick worth 25,000 dollars clear of duties—vessel and cargo the sole property of Thomas Lewis and Son, of this town—this vessel with 23 others, experienced a hurricane the 11th September, drove on shore at Porto Rico, and with the greatest difficulty by taking out her cargo, she was with only one other, out of the whole number, got off."
A letter has recently been received from M. Rehmann, the physician in the suite of the Russian embassy to China, dated Kiachta, on the frontiers of China, October 10th, 1805; in which he says that he has vacinated a great number of the children of the Moguls. "These people (continues M. Rehmann) have retained the simple manners and customs of their ancestors. They live in tents, and still make use of bows and arrows, which they employ with such dexterity and precision, that when they went out with the Russians to the ambassador's suite, they killed six time as much game as the latter, though provided with excellent fowling pieces. He likewise writes that he has discovered a little portable, pharmaceutic collection of Thibet, from which the science of medicine is likely to derive advantage. It consists of sixty different articles very elegantly wrapped in paper. Among these are some remedies known in Europe; but with a much greater number the botanists attached to the embassy were unacquainted. The letter consist of small fruits, nuts, and some chemical preparations. M. Rehmann has procured a translation of the list of them, which was written in the language of Tangut."
He proposes to bring with him some of these collections of medicines, which are much in use among the Luchnarians.
London paper.
The following beautiful, solemn and impressive hymn, extracted from Carr's Poetic Summer, is said to be recited over the dead body of a Russian, previous to his interment.
"Oh! what is life? a blossom! a vapour or dew of the morning! Approach and contemplate the grave. V. here is low the graceful form! where is youth! where the organs of sight! and where the beauty of complexion!
"What lamentation and wailing, and mourning and struggling, when the soul is separated from the body! Human life seems altogether vanity! a transient shadow: the sleep of error; the unavailing labor of imagined existence—let us therefore fly from every corruption of the world, that we may inherit the kingdom of heaven.
"Thou mother of the sun that never sets; Parent of God, we beseech thee, intercede with the divine omnipotence, that he who hath departed hence, may enjoy repose with the souls of the just. Unbenished Virgin! may he enjoy the eternal inheritance of heaven, in the abodes of the righteous."

Patent Threshing Machine.
I HAVE invented a machine for threshing all kinds of grain contained in straw, stem or chaff, particularly wheat, this machine has been found on fair trial to answer completely the purpose for which it was intended. Farmers now have it in their power to get out their grain with expedition, free of dirt, white caps or loss. This machine is constructed on entirely new principles; its operation is by flails encircled by a cylinder moved upon friction wheels, and can be regulated at pleasure, to thresh the grain more or less, as the dampness, dryness, or particular kind of grain may require it. It will be found upon examining the principles on which this machine is constructed that it will be the fault of the possessor if any grain passes unthreshed; it separates the grain from the straw and chaff, as it threshes also the chaff from the straw; the construction is by no means complicated—not liable to get out of order, and not expensive to erect. It has been found by fair experiment the power of four small mules or two good horses, are sufficient to thresh and clean one hundred bushels per day with great ease. Those on extensive farms who wish more grain threshed per day may obtain any quantity they wish by making the machine larger and applying more power. If farmers only knew the excessive loss they sustain in getting out their grain in the mode heretofore used—Nothing more would be necessary to bring my machine into general use. Those who have small streams on their farms will find they may set the machine going by water at a small expense by a small tub wheel. To those who are acquainted with the gentlemen whose certificates I annex, nothing need be said; those who are not, will find, on enquiry, for intelligence and respectability they have few superiors. My price for the privilege of using my machine, is fifty dollars. I will dispose of my privilege for counties or states to those who wish to purchase on liberal terms. Letters addressed to me, post paid, at Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
James Deneale. Dumfries, 22d Sept. 1806.
NO. 1.
I do hereby certify, that I have a Threshing Machine erected on the plan invented by Mr. James Deneale of Dumfries, which exceeds my expectation. A great number of my neighbors who have seen it work, think it does not leave one grain in ten thousand unthreshed; it separates the straw and chaff from the wheat as it threshes.
It possesses many advantages over machines on the Scotch principle, as they will thresh none but what goes in with the ear first; so that all tangled wheat is not much more than half threshed. Mr. Deneale's machine threshes tangled wheat or sheaves put in butt first, perfectly clean.
In very dry weather Scotch machines scutch off a great number of heads, a great many of which the utmost care cannot prevent being carried off with the straw; the very ears without straw are perfectly clean threshed by Mr. Deneale's. Scotch machines, take nearly double power to work them. I speak the above from experience; as I had a machine on the Scotch principle, which from the above faults I had not used for several years, and have now pulled it down.
Mr. Deneale's machine will thresh from 70 to 100 bushels per day, four small mules and two good horses will work it with great ease and I am convinced from the slow pace they go that two oxen would work it.
Although my machine (which was the first erected in this part of the state) has been built but a few months, it is so well approved of that a great many more are either built or now building on the same construction.
It will be shown in operation to any gentlemen calling on the subscriber, at Beverley's Ford, Fauquier county, Virginia.

I have several years known Mr. Milburn who has given the within certificate—he is a sensible, judicious, practical farmer, and a man of good character. He is a native of the county of Northumberland, in the kingdom of Great Britain, and has been a successful farmer in this country. I think that great confidence is to be placed in what he says.

NO. 3.
I have had erected on my plantation a Threshing Machine upon the model invented by Mr. Deneale, of Dumfries; this machine separates the wheat from the straw more completely than it can be done by treading in the usual way with horses, and it will, I am persuaded, clean from 90 to 100 bushels per day. I find that four mules will turn the machinery with ease.

NO. 4.
Induced by motives of public good, I wish to make known, that a company with some of my neighbors, viewed, on the estate of
William Champe Carter, Esq. Mr. Deneale's new invented Patent Threshing Machine, performed by Mr. West, a most masterly beautiful piece of mechanism. Notwithstanding the straw was damp and the negro slaves that worked it, awkward, yet on a fair trial, it beat out and cleaned upwards of four bushels and a half in half an hour; we carefully examined the straw, which was so entirely cleaned of wheat that therein we did not find more than four or five grains. Therefore, on the whole, I do not hesitate to pronounce it, in my judgment, the most complete and most useful thing of the kind which human wisdom has yet invented.

Culpepper County, to wit:
This day personally appeared before me, Mr. Reuben Beazley, and made oath, that the Wheat Machine, commonly called Deneale's Patent Threshing Machine, under his care and direction, on the estate of William Champe Carter, Esq. as the hands begin to understand it more, gets out wheat faster than at the beginning; and has on fair trial lately cleaned from the straw in the space of half an hour more than six bushels of wheat, and believes it would continue to do that much as long as the four mules that work it could remain at that service, until taken out to give them food and water. Certified under my hand this 11th day of September, 1806.

Iron Works—For Sale.
THE subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a handsome site for Iron Works, and eight thousand acres of Land adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock, about nine miles above Fredericksburg.

There has been a furnace and other works formerly erected here, and there is one found equal & abundant to any in the country, and it has been several times tried by good judges. The title is indisputable, and a great bargain may be had. The subscriber will at any time attend those inclined to view the premises, and can shew the lands, and site for the works, by an accurate survey he now has, on application to him at Dumfries, Virginia.
