AGRICULTURAL.
FOR THE FEDERAL ORRERY.
MR. PAINE,
At the request of the president and trustees of the Massachusetts Society for promoting Agriculture, please to publish the following valuable communication on the subject of COMPOST MANURE, made by the Rev. Mr. Whitney, of Shirley; for which a premium of fifty dollars, or a gold medal, has been adjudged to him, agreeable to the third article in the list of premiums offered by the Society; several essays on the same subject, remain under consideration, for the second premium of thirty dollars.
OLIVER SMITH, corresp. Sec. Boston, June 2, 1795.
To the Trustees of the Massachusetts Society for promoting Agriculture. Gentlemen,
IN the month of October, 1793, I received the laws and regulations of your Society. Stimulated partly by the premium mentioned therein, I turned my attention to the making of compost manure; being persuaded, that if I should fail of obtaining the premium from the Society, that I could not fail of being amply rewarded, by the increase of the produce of my little farm, which never, as yet, has been highly cultivated.
I possess a farm, 25 acres of which, has for several years past, been improved as mowing land, and about 15 acres for plough land, besides about 35 acres, a considerable part of which is in common with growth of bushes, which I find very difficult to subdue—this I improve for pasturing.
The land at the end of my barn, and cow yard, descends moderately to the east; there I staked out the ground about eighty feet in length, and twenty-five in breadth, so as to extend the whole length of the cow yard, and width of the barn. I then took up the surface about six or eight inches deep, and threw it into the cow yard; then dug a hollow place, about five or six feet deep, in the form of a wooden trough, the length and breadth abovementioned, throwing part of the dirt on the lower sides and ends, so as to prevent its being overflowed either by the rain or the water that might run into it from the cow yard. I then carted into it several loads of good clay, such as is used for the making of bricks, and spread it over the bottom and sides, about two or three inches thick, and beat it down until it became very hard and smooth, over the whole surface, in order that the rich juices of the compost, might not be lost by soaking into the ground.
Having thus prepared a place to receive the compost—from the beginning of May, 1794, to the end of June, some of my most leisure days were improved, when the necessary work on the farm would permit, in collecting materials for the compost, and carting them to the general receptacle, until at least 200 tons were collected.
The compost heap was made of the following materials, viz. about sixty tons of the top of the earth taken chiefly from the sides of the street, where it has had some benefit from the wash of the road. About sixty tons of mud taken out of a swamp, which is usually covered with water in the winter season, (here I would observe, that there are but a very few farms with which I am acquainted, of any considerable number of acres that are not accommodated with manure of this kind)—about forty tons of the dung and wash of the hog sty, chips, cobs, a small quantity of leached ashes, dirt about the house, upon which urine, wash tubs, &c. have been emptied.
Forty tons from the cow yard, about twenty of which I removed there, from the surface of the ground, where I made a compost heap; the remainder consisted of straw; horse dung, and poor hay, thrown into the yard in the course of the winter, upon which my cattle were yarded in the day time, during that season. About two tons of green breaks and young bushes of less than three months growth; and about two tons of green weeds, taken from my flax ground, the flax being killed by the frost; these were immediately covered in the compost heap, to prevent their drying, and to promote their putrefaction.
In collecting the several materials into the compost heap, I did not cart more than four or five loads of any one kind, until I had spread that over the whole surface, and then brought in four or five loads more of a different kind; and in that manner throughout the whole. In the month of August, I turned up the compost heap from the bottom, carefully mixing the several ingredients, and pulverizing the whole, as much as could be done with convenience; by this process, the putrefaction was greatly promoted.
I kept an accurate account of the labor of making the whole; and find it as follows, viz. Seventeen days and an half of the labour of a man and a boy of about fifteen years old, and fourteen days of the labour of one pair, oxen and a cart. The man's labour I estimate at three shillings per day, the boy at one shilling and sixpence, the oxen and cart at two shillings per day, the whole—£5 7 6.
Late in the fall, I carted about sixty tons from the compost heap, and spread it on my grass land; about forty; I have conveyed to a field, in order to spread it in the spring, for a top dressing for my spring grain; about thirty, I have put into a heap in another field, in order to dung in the hills for Indian corn, the remainder is referred to spread on my corn land, garden, &c.
In addition to the above, I collected last fall, more than a hundred tons of different materials which in its present state
is good compost manure, but I purpose to remove it to the compost heap next season together with all the dung made from the barn throughout the winter as well as other materials that can easily be collected thro' the summer. I am fully persuaded that there is a very great loss to the farmer in making use of winter or coarse dung until it has been put into such a situation as to purify, and thus become a proper manure or food for vegetables. I have not had an opportunity, by actual experiment, to prove the goodness of the compost manure which I have made in the course of this year; but by its appearance it is as rich and as well calculated to promote the growth of all kinds of vegetables as any manure that I ever heretofore have used on my farm. The whole of the compost I have made in less than one year is more than 300 tons; and now gentlemen if I have merited either of the premiums for making compost manure; and especially if I have promoted the interest of agriculture, it will afford pleasure to your very humble servant, A. F. T. A. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, March, 1795.
The following defence of the system which exempts lands in Virginia from attachment for debts, is, we believe, the best that can be offered:—Of its conclusiveness, our readers will judge.
LYNCHBURG, (Vir.) MS. 30.
During the conflict of the Virginia Convention for discussing the Constitution of the United States of America, among other things, the friends for the adoption indirectly intimated (out of doors) that a lurking spirit of ambition had promoted the opposition to their favorite child. This was an extreme politic measure, for it effectually concealed their own ambitious views, and threw a sort of odium, injurious and disgusting, on the other side. We may even venture to suspect that this insinuation accounts for the opposition being chiefly such as found fault of the proposed plan, without offering new matter.
There is at present another great question likely to be agitated in the ensuing General Assembly for this state: this we must know is the Land Bill.—The same degree of silencing juggle appears to haunt the walks of this momentous question, as if we said, "flew me the man who opposes it, and I will show you the man who is (HEELS OVER HEAD) in debt, and who would, if in his power, avoid the payment of the just demands against him." Thus, then, although it is well known that neither this nor any other law can have an ex post facto operation in our country, the debts of some unfortunate people are thrown into the air, and made one of the reasons and arguments to work upon the more ignorant part of the community. We cannot say that a Land Bill would be amiss, if properly guarded and chained down to the principles of honesty, and gradually put into effect. But in it, exclusive of the eye to an ex post facto tendency, the right of dower and other objections, too numerous to be mentioned, the great dread should be a fear of foreign influence.—The moment this law takes place, lands must fall one hundred per cent. in value; this invites the land speculator to seize the glorious opportunity of that corrupted source; and, before 25 years have passed away, the vestiges of many respectable natives will no more be marked upon paternal ground. Let us, in turn, look into the views of these anxious friends of the Land Bill we speak of. Let us enquire if there be any speculators among them? Few men are against this law who have cash enough to ride on.
THE REPRIEVE.
"A dreadful din was wont To grate the sense, when entered here, From groans, And howls of slaves, condemn'd, from Clink of chains, And crash or rusty bars and creaking Hinges! And ever and anon the light was dash'd With frightful faces, and the meagre Looks Of grim and ghastly executioners."
Congreve.
The tolling of the dreadful bell, summoning the miserable to pay their forfeited lives to the injured laws of their country, awoke Henry from the first sleep he had fallen into since he entered the walls of a dismal prison.
Henry had been a merchant, and married the beautiful Eliza in the midst of affluence. — was the first stroke his house received. His creditors, from the nature of the loss, were for some time merciful; but to satisfy some partial demands, he entered into a dishonorable treaty, which being discovered, Henry was thrown into a loathsome jail; he had offended against the laws and was condemned to die.
Eliza possessed Roman virtues. She would not quit his side, and with her infant son, she preferred sharing away his melancholy in a dungeon to her father's house which was still open to her. Their hopes of a reprieve from day to day had fled; but not before the death warrant had arrived. Grief overpowered all other
senses. Sleep, the balm charmer of the woes of humanity, in pity to their miseries, extended her silken embraces over them, and beguiled the time they had appropriated for prayer; and Eliza, with the infant still continued under her influence.
Father of Mercies! exclaimed Henry, lend thine ear to a penitent. Give attention to my short prayer. Grant me forgiveness—endue me with fortitude to appear before thee: and, O God! extend thy mercies to this injured, this belt of thy servants, whom I have entailed in endless miseries—Chace not sleep from her till I am dead—
The keeper of the prison interrupted his devotion by warning him to his fate. If there be mercy in you, replied Henry, make no noise, for I would not have my wife awakened, till I am no more—
He wept—even he, who was inured to misery—he, who, with apathy, had for ages looked on distress, shed tears at Henry's request—
At this instant, the child cried—O Heavens! said Henry, I am too guilty to have my prayer heard. He took up his infant, and fortunately hushed it again to rest, while the jailor stood petrified with grief and astonishment. At last he thus broke out: This is too much; my heart bleeds for you—I would I had not seen this day.
What do I hear? replied Henry; is this an Angel in the garb of my keeper? Thou art indeed unfit for thy office. This is more than I was prepared to bear.—Hence, and let me be conducted to my fate—
These words awoke the unhappy Eliza; who with eagerness to atone for lost time, began to appropriate the few moments left in supplicating for her husband's salvation.
Side by side the unhappy couple prayed, as the ordinary advanced to the cell. They were too intent on devotion to observe him. The holy man came with more comfort than what his function alone could administer.—It was a reprieve! but with this it was communicated the glad tidings.
The effect it had on them was too affecting to be expressed. Henry's senses were overpowered; while Eliza became frantic with joy—She ran to the man of God, then to her child, ere she perceived her husband apparently lifeless. He soon inhaled life from her kisses, while the humane jailor freed him from his fetters.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
By the Ship RICHMOND, Capt. LEE, in 32 Days from Bristol.
LONDON, May 1.
THE PRINCE OF WALES'S DEBTS.
The order of the day being read, for taking into consideration his majesty's message.
Lord Grenville rose and said, that in conformity to the notice he had given, he had to submit to their Lordships' attention the consideration of his majesty's message. It was not his intention, in this early stage of this very important business, to enter into any detail, nor to pledge the House by any engagements beyond the natural and regular return, which was usually made on such occasions. The business would certainly come in detail before their Lordships, in all its legislative forms; and then their Lordships would be best enabled to judge of the propriety of adopting only such measures as would meet the good-will of the nation. He would therefore propose to their Lordships, an address expressive of the thanks of the house for his majesty's most gracious message, assuring his majesty of their attachment and affection, declaring their readiness to concur in every measure that may be conducive to the happiness of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and of making such an arrangement as the concurrence of Parliament should think proper to establish the support of the dignity and rank of his Royal Highness.
Earl Guildford said, that the Noble Secretary of State had so cautiously and generally expressed himself on this occasion, that he felt not the least diffident of opinion in his breach. He did not rise to object to the address, but to anticipate what perhaps may be better deferred to another time. It was, that Parliament should certainly be put in the possession of every article of information on this business;—that, in order to make an ample and liberal provision for his Royal Highness, every embarrassment should be removed, and his Royal Highness clearly disencumbered. Unless this was effected, nothing effectual would be done. His distresses would accumulate, and, unless they now underwent a strict scrutiny for final adjustment, new complaints may be brought forward, and unlimited credit given to the Prince of Wales, on the resources of the nation. It had been intimated that the civil list was to be exonerated from that part of the encumbrance on it, and the money or the interest of it paid by the people.—This he understood from the latter part of his majesty's message; but, as the Noble Secretary of State had now declared, that the House was no farther pledged by the address, than to those feelings of attachment and loyalty which it expressed, he certainly gave it his hearty assent.
Lord Grenville said, that, having obtained the concurrence of the Noble Earl to the Address, he had little difficulty in agreeing with him in the general points he had touched upon. He was sure, such was the attachment and affection of the country to the family on the throne, in the dignity and establishment of which all had so great an interest, that no unwillingness would be found in making a suitable and dignified provision for the illustrious
personages who were to be the subject of consideration.
The Address was put, and carried nem. con.
Adjourned to Monday. Sir J. B. Warren took leave of the King on his setting off again to join his ship.
Such is the abundance of ready money, notwithstanding the late Loan, of which twelve millions have been paid up, there is now a very great scarcity of stock. A similar circumstance was never known during the operation of a Loan.
Letters by the last Coruna mail, give an account of an action between a Spanish 74, and the Brest division of six sail of the line, under Rear-Admiral de Renaudin, the late Captain of the Vengeur. The particulars are, that the Spanish ship cruising, fell in with the above squadron, was chased and maintained a running fight with two of the enemy, until she got under shelter of a Spanish fort, which the French attacked; but after several hours cannonading, the French Admiral made the signal, and hauled off, much damaged.
The House of Peers was on Thursday as full above and below the Bar, as it was on the memorable day of taking into consideration the remarkable Peace, made by the present Marquis Lansdowne, then Earl Shelburne.
The transactions between the late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his Majesty's Cabinet Council, are of a private, and not a public concern; nor could any of that Council bring what was said there into parliamentary debate, without a breach of that oath of office, which they take as Cabinet ministers, not to make publicly or privately known what passes there.—Mr. Beresford might as well demand a Parliamentary Enquiry, why he was dismissed from the Irish Revenue Board by Earl Fitzwilliam, as Earl Fitzwilliam insist on knowing why he was revealed from the Viceroyship. To establish a precedent for such enquiries, would be to unhinge that prerogative which has been held sacred from the Revolution to the present moment: nor can it tend to any other purpose on the present occasion, than that of promoting discord, and giving birth to in- jective.
Admiral Bligh has been exchanged for the French Captains who accompanied Sir Frederic Eden to Brest. Captain Cotes of the Thames frigate, has also been exchanged, and both may be daily expected in England.
We learn from good authority that accounts are received in town of the treaty of Peace between Prussia and France having been ratified by his Prussian majesty at Berlin.
According to the report of a gentleman lately arrived from Paris, where he lived in habits of friendship and intimacy with several members of the Committee of Public Welfare, the supreme authority resides at this time with M. M. Syes, Merlin of Douay, and Cambacaceres, who are in company with Tallien, Merlin of Thionville, and other Gits of the moderate party.
CHATHAM, April 28.
There is too much reason to fear the shipwrights of this Yard are again on the point of quitting it. Saturday last the house carpenters were ordered on board the Magnificent, of 74 guns, in dock for repair; the shipwrights formed themselves into a body, went on board and insisted on the house carpenters quitting their work, and taking their tools on shore, which they accordingly did. The circumstance being communicated to the Commissioner, he immediately sent an express to the Navy board with the particulars.
In the reign of Louis XIV. there was a famine in France which swept away two millions of people. If when the ground was cultivated, such was the devastation made by hunger, what must be the melancholy consequences of a famine in that country now, where the earth, for want of tillage, is in many parts cursed with sterility.
HAGUE, April 2.
By a proclamation of our provisional representative, dated the 26th ult. every inhabitant is ordered to furnish, in aid of the finances, all the uncoined gold and silver in his possession. The reason for this great measure, the proclamation sets forth to be, the necessity of providing against an attack, with which the states general are threatened by a nation formerly our ally, but which now refuses to allow us to be neutral. This nation is not named; but it is easy to see that it must be Great-Britain, which has seized and detains our ships and merchandise.
BASLE, (Switz.) April 5.
CONJECTURAL.
The negotiations for peace are daily taking a more favourable turn. It appears to be certain that Prussia, part of the Germanic Body, Spain, and the king of Sardinia, will abandon the coalition.
The empire of Germany will be divided into two regions, the empire of the North and the empire of the South. That of the North will devolve to the king of Prussia, and all the states of it will be under his immediate protection. The French Republic will retain the Austrian Netherlands, the country of Liege, and the fortresses on the Meuse. With respect to the other states, beginning with Suabia and the left bank of the Rhine, they will remain under the protection of France.
Spain will give up to the French Republic the palis of the Eastern and Western Pyrenees, with the ports Du Pasage and St. Sebastian, and hold at the disposal of the Republic 20 ships of the line.
Sardinia will give up the duchy of Savoy, and the country of Nice; the port of Oneglia will be restored, and Spain will cede the duchy of Parma and Piacenza, as a compensation for the loss of Savoy.
Such are the conditions talked of in the best informed circles here.
FLORENC, March 25.
Letters from Spezia of the 24th, mentioned that the English fleet anchored in the gulph on the 18th. It amounts to 22 sail including the Neapolitan ship Tarenti, and the Ca Ira and Censeur. These two ships had on board 2,200 men, 800 of whom were killed, 200 wounded, and the remainder made prisoners. The English fleet have suffered much in their masts.
LONDON, April 25.
An article in the Hounou Gazette, of the 4th April, says—
"We hear this instant, that the French general before Mentz, has sent a trumpeter to the Austrians, with a message, informing them of the arrival of a courier from Paris, with orders to the French army to discontinue entirely all hostilities; and that the same line of conduct was of course to be expected to be followed by the Germans." We know that since the 4th, there have been several acts of hostility before Mentz; and we translate the above article, merely as an instance of the general disposition to believe every rumor of peace, a strong presumption of the general wish for it.
April 27.
The Austrian army of the Upper Rhine is said to exceed 180,000 men, of the best troops in the world. When the duke of Marlborough defeated and took prisoner the French general Tallard, he was told by Tallard, as a compliment, that he had gained a victory over the best troops in the world:—I hope, said his Grace, you will except the troops that beat them.
The following interesting particulars are extracted from the Treasurer's accounts for the West Riding of the county of York, as settled at Pontefract Sessions last week, by which it appears there has been an increase in the broad, and a decrease in the narrow woollen manufactur, during the last twelve months; there having been milled (within the West Riding) 190,983 pieces of broad woollen cloths, or 9,097,203 yards; and 130,403 pieces of narrow cloths, or 4,634,258 yards. Increased within the above period 656 pieces, or 11,242 yards of broad cloths. Decreased 2004 pieces, or 10,164 yards of narrow cloths. There were also milled the last year, in addition to the above, 4367 pieces of narrow cloths, the account of which was not given in time to be added to the above. The great manufacture of kerseymere, now carried on in that Riding, are not included in the above return.
By the latest accounts from Constantinople, the war occasioned by a competition for the Crown of Persia still continues. Muhammed Khan, the most fortunate of the competitors, had made prisoner his rival Ali Khan, and cut out his eyes, besides obtaining the treasure of another, consisting of large and costly diamonds. Jussuph Pashaw, the Turkish Grand Vizir, is supposed to have fallen into disgrace.
Extract of a letter from Blackawton, near Dartmouth, May 1.
"At Totnes and Dartmouth the people begin to be more quiet, at Kingsbridge they still continue turbulent, and there is not the least appearance of their being quieted. Provisions are very dear, and we are afraid to carry any corn, poultry, butter, and other things to market. It is now reported that the people of Totnes, Dartmouth, Medbury, and Plympton, are determined in case their markets are not supplied next week, to come to our farms and carry our things to market for us. The gloomy prospect on all sides keeps us in constant dread, and we know not at present to what length things will be carried, since we are afraid of the soldiers joining them; they have not yet visited us; we wait with anxious expectation for the next market days; we have determined to take all we can from this place to Dartmouth next Friday, in order to quiet them if possible."
PARIS, April 19.
Cambacceres, in the name of the committee of seven, reported the progress made by the committee, in the laws necessary to reorganize the constitution of 1793. This constitution is to be modified; it was framed during the system of terror, and stands much in need of amendment in the distribution of its powers.
MADRID, Feb. 13.
Three ships dispatched from Spain in 1789 to reconnoitre the South American coast and adjacent isles, from the river La Plata to Cape Horn, and from that Ca to the extreme north west parts of the coast, have returned, and brought a certainty that there is no passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean, between the 59 and 61 degrees of latitude.

Considerable discoveries are also made by these vessels among the Mariane Isles the Philippines, in New Holland, New Zealand, and in the Archipelago of the Friendly Isles. A considerable stock of knowledge is also added to the sciences of botany, lithology, and hydrography. Experiments made on the gravity of bodies, in various latitudes and both hemispheres, will be of use in determining the irregularities in the figure of the earth: and may ultimately serve as the basis of a universal standard of measure. These discoveries also throw light on the emigrations and characters of the inhabitants of the places visited; and what most give pleasure, they have not cost one human tear. They were concluded without any quarrels, or bloodshed of the natives. The history of the voyage is soon to be published.
LONDON, May 2.
Among many ministerial proofs of the increasing prosperity of the country is the increase of the Court Calendar which is this year swelled, by the addition of new places, to a sheet and a half more than ordinary!
There was a new report yesterday of an insurrection in Paris; whenever we have an interval of a few days without intelligence, a massacre or a revolution is hatched in England.
A few evenings since, a Lady and four Gentlemen were travelling in the Exeter night coach, and when they were at the town of Blandford they were all asleep; in a short time the Gentlemen awoke, and discovered that the Lady was not in the coach, and the coach door opened, upon which they immediately informed the coachman, but he could not give any account of what had become of her; they were overtaken by the ballast coach, and enquiries being made of the coachman, he said, he saw a woman lying on the road, upon which, the gentlemen insisted on returning, with which the coachman complied, when they found the Lady dead. She had apparently received a contusion in the head. It is supposed the coach door by accident got open, and a sudden jerk of the coach must have thrown her out when asleep.
On Friday the 3d inst. died in the island of Strouva, Francis Tait, schoolmaster in that island, aged one hundred and nine years. What is very remarkable, this man has left twenty four sons, who are all engaged in the service of their country; three being eighteen of them in the navy; and six in the army.
On Friday last, Colonel Calvert, aid de camp to the Duke of York, set off for the continent on an important mission. The object of the treaty between the king of Prussia and the French, or to make new arrangements for our army, in consequence of that treaty, we know not. It appears, however, that our ministers have been completely deceived with respect to the Prussian negotiation, and that now, in the middle of April, they have not taken their measures for the conduct of the campaign.

NEW-YORK, June 15.
Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Pennsylvania, capt. Tillinghast, of Philadelphia, in 42 days from Bourdeaux.
On Thursday last capt. T. fell in with Admiral Murray's squadron off Nantucket, consisting, then, of the Resolution of 74, the Cleopatra, and another frigate, each of which visited him, and overhauled his papers, breaking the seals of private packages and letters, trunks, &c. and rummaging the vessel in an insulting manner; and notwithstanding the leaky condition of the Pennsylvania, he pressed from on board two Englishmen and two Americans, one of which (Angus McDonald) a New Yorker, born, these 4 being the only healthy men on board, except the officers.
In addition to these inults, and tyrannic procedures, the Capt. of the Resolution tried every insinuating means to induce capt. T. to declare the property to be French.
Capt. T. failed in company with ships Peggy, Elliot, of and for Philadelphia, Liberty, Young, do. Betsey, Bafs, do. and Brig ———, Marshall, of New York, and bound to Baltimore.
Spoke Ship America, Willis, from Bourdeaux, to New-York, lat. 42. 49. long. 38. 39. out 20 days, all well, June 8, long. 65. 70. lat. 39. 40. spoke ship ———, Kennedy, from New York to Liverpool, out 4 days, all well.

Sailed in company with barque Prudence, Miller of Philadelphia, for that port or New York; ship Peggy of and for Philadelphia; ship Fidelity, Weems, of and for Baltimore.
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated April 22, 1795, to the editor of this paper—by the Cheeseman.
"The people here are perfectly tranquil, respecting the transactions of the convention, or the operations of the war; the name of either is seldom mentioned. Some of the young gentlemen returning from the army the first inst. were exasperated to find some of their relations sacrificed by the sanguinary measures pursued under Robespierre; a tumult and riot ensued, in which one of that party was killed, and several deliberately wounded—the guillotine publicly burnt, and some trifling disturbance at the play-house several evenings, but all is perfectly quiet at present."
"Provisions of every kind plenty and cheap, except bread and rice, which really are scarce and dear."
"Flour in France, say at Bourdeaux, 20 to twenty-two crowns in specie."

The Medusa took on her passage three Prizes, two Spanish, and one Portuguese loaded with Sugar, and other East-India Goods. The apprehension of their being retaken, induced the Captain to burn them.
LANCASTER, (Penn.) June 10.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the Federal Army, to a gentleman in this town.
"The Indians are here trading continually; numbers have settled at Forts Wayne and Defiance—A chieftain, called Rutherford, has settled about three miles from the former garrison up the St. Joseph's with about 60 families—Blue Jacket has set down near Fort Defiance, with the principal part of the Shawanese and Delawares."
"It is generally believed here that we shall have a permanent Peace the ensuing fall."

It is mentioned in a Paris paper, that citizen Cardinet, geographical engineer and mechanician, has invented a new capstan for vessels, which is much more convenient than those commonly used. The perfectioning of this machine has been the object of the researches of mechanicians for sixty years past. The invention has been recommended by the office of consultation, and crowned by the Lyceum of Arts.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16.
Dispatches were received this day from France, by the minister of the French republic, brought to New-York by a vessel from Nantes—We hear they contain the important information of peace with the kings of Spain, Sardinia, and the Two Sicilies; that negotiations have been opened with Austria and Great-Britain; and, in short, that there is a fair prospect of a general peace.
MISS SOLOMON'S BENEFIT.
The entertainments selected for the benefit of Miss Solomon appear to have been very judiciously chosen—and will, without doubt, attract an audience that will compensate in some degree the wonderful exertions and astonishing powers of this charming little girl.
The Midnight Hour is among the best productions of the famous comic poet Beaumarchais, and as it has been before represented here, its merit must be pretty generally known.
The Purse is admirably calculated to display her talents to the best advantage: In short, the attractions of to-morrow evening— to morrow evening —to morrow evening, as cannot fail to excite the attention of every friend to infantine merit—whose early budding promise the richest products of riper years.
We hear The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, and LADY, will honor the Theatre with their presence to-morrow evening.

MR. FENNO.
The following paragraphs occur in a letter published in the Philadelphia Gazette of Saturday last, said to be from a gentleman in London, and dated 30th April.
The information contained therein, is of the greatest importance to this Country, and is said to come from an authentic source.
What particularly excited my attention is the apparent absurdity of saying that the British government shews a good disposition to conciliate, when at the same moment it is said we may expect that our vessels will be carried into British ports and their cargoes paid for at a rate to be established by the British.
QUID NUNC.
The paragraphs alluded to. "Americans, Danes and Swedes must all expect to be brought into British ports, and to be paid for their cargoes in the way, and according to a rate to be established here. The neutrals who may feel the effects of this regulation, may not suffer in point of interest as individuals—but to the national flag, it will be an indignity hard to be borne."
"The business of claims goes on as well
as the nature of the proceeding will admit. "The government shews a good disposition at present to conciliate, and to forget past misunderstandings. I hope events may keep them in this way of thinking—but had not our government interfered—had it suffered each individual to obtain justice in what manner he could, I fear our citizens would have fared but lilly—we are treated with far more respect than any other neutral power."
Extract from the American Daily Advertiser of the 15th inst.
AN extract from a Journal, entitled "Feuille de la Republique," published at Paris on the 18th Nivose last, having been shown to me, and by which it appears that Robert Morris, Esq. has been calumniated in a very unjustifiable underhand manner by the person calling himself Jonas Fauches, 1, James Montfort, have thought it incumbent on me, in justice to said Morris, to come forward and declare, and I do hereby declare and certify, that the said Morris, acting for himself and others, purchased from me sundry tracts of land in the state of Georgia, amounting together to about three hundred and fifty thousand acres; the situation of which lands I am well acquainted with, and know that no part thereof is out of, or even near to, the boundaries or limits fixed by treaties between the native Indians and the United States; and that so far from there being any doubt, as to the sufficiency of the titles, I know that they are indisputably good. I know too, that since purchasing from me the said lands, the said Morris has employed surveyors, and other capable persons, to run the lines anew, so as to ascertain if there were any interferences, and that no interferences, either by prior surveys or otherwise, have been discovered. It is also well known to me, that both previous to and since my selling said lands to the said Morris, he has employed surveyors and other capable persons, to make enquiries and examine into the nature of the soil, and other circumstances relating thereto—and that the said lands have been found to be (as the subscriber also knows them to be, and which by a long residence in and acquaintance with the state of Georgia, generally, he thinks himself competent to judge of) equal in every respect to bodies of land generally, of like extent, within the state of Georgia.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, this 20th day of April, 1795.
Signed, JAMES MONTFORT.
WE, the subscribers, are well acquainted with the land alluded to within, sold by Mr. James Montfort, of Georgia, to the Hon. Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, and know them to be within the limits of the state of Georgia, and clear of Indian claim.
Given under our hands, at Philadelphia, this 21st April, 1795.
Signed, GEO. NAYLOR,
G. DENNISON,
I. HALL.
In connection with the foregoing, the following statement of facts has been published by Mr. Morris:
First, That in all the purchases of Georgia lands which I have made or been concerned in, the greatest possible care and caution has been previously taken to ascertain that the quality of the soil is good and the titles perfect.
Secondly, I never did buy, nor have I made any purchase of, Georgia lands, to which the Indian title has not been previously obtained. My lands are within the settled parts of the country, within counties in which courts of justice are held, and the laws of the state carried into effect.
Thirdly, I never did invite French citizens to emigrate from their own country to this, neither did I ever wish for such emigrations.
Fourthly, I never did sell, or offer to sell, my Georgia lands to French families, either in or out of France. It is true, that in one or two instances, at the request of certain French gentlemen, I did empower them to make sale, in Europe or the West-Indies, of some few tracts, more for the sake of giving them employment, and a commission, than for any use or purpose of my own.
Fifthly, If I had been desirous to sell lands to French settlers, I should in that, as in other instances, have desired them to view the lands themselves, or by their agents, previous to a purchase.
Sixthly, Of all the uncultivated lands in the United States that have been sold by me, there is not one tract or parcel that I am not willing to take back, and repay to the purchaser what he gave me for it, with interest of six per cent. per annum, from the date of the receipt to the time of repayment.

On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kennebec river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dimensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foundation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if practicable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half below the surface of the earth, and to be commenced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wooden work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well framed, and of stout heart fine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden building from the bottom of the water table, and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be capping with hewn stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two windows in the West. The Sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, headed therein, plank over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole having a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and front in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the posts to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be mounted on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the south-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters for the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel; thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be a pair of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty five feet or thereabout in front, and twenty six feet deep, with a cellar, under it, if it shall be found practicable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eighteen inches thick, and seven feet high. The first floor of the house to be seven feet and one half in the clear. The roof to have a rearing plain pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet join into the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and sitting room and is to have two plain fire places, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven. There is to be an outer door to the passage and an outer door also to the Kitchen. There are to be two windows in each of the large rooms, and one in each bed room.
Each sash is to have twelve panes of glass eight by ten inches. Each window is to have a strong plain shutter, with fastenings and hinges. The doors are to be hung and finished completely. The ceiling and inner sides of the House are to be plastered with two coats. All the wood work inside and out is to be well painted, and the whole is to be finished in a plain and decent manner.
An oil vault is to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear, arched over, and covered with earth or sand, over which a shed is to be built. It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar cisterns with covers, each capable of containing two hundred Gallons. The entrance to the vault is to be secured by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket, rope and completely. The builder is to procure and pay for all materials, labor, workmanship, provisions and other objects of cost, charge or expense for a sum to be proposed and agreed upon, and to execute the before described work, and every part thereof in a good and workman like manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on security, will be made. tuf&f

By ISAAC NEALE of Burlington, and HENRY KAMMERER Jan. of Philadelphia; for Printing by Subscription, the First
American Edition of a work entitled
CALVARY, or the Death of
CHRIST,
A POEM, in Eight Books. By Richard Cumberland and
A character of, and extracts from this work, given in the London Critical
MR. CUMBERLAND, with confidence in his abilities, commits his performance to the public, without bespeaking its attention, or soliciting its regard; and such a performance deserves both the one and the other, it is not a faultless monolith, neither are all its defects light and trivial. But, compared with its perfections, and weighed in the scale opposite to them,
"they quick up-fly, and kick the beam." It may be considered as a second part, or as the sequel to Paradise Regained; an appellation more suitable to the present poem than to Milton's second epic; and it opens, like Paradise Lost, with the introduction of Satan, and an assembly of fallen spirits. Mammon, now a reverend Levite in appearance, meets Judas in a solitary place, and the interview is managed with much address. The first speech of Judas, in which he complains that
"if when all is past, And this sad scene concludes, no reck'ning comes, No grateful compensation after death, Hard is our fate!"
When he lays himself open to temptation through the suggestions of avarice, the conduct of the poet is excellent; and the description of our Saviour's appearance at the celebration of the Passover, is strikingly solemn. The language, though plain and unaffected, is not devoid of sublimity.
To this feast, Presider of his own pure sacrifice And type of his blood-shedding, Jesus came: The guests were present and the table spread; With tans begun, as men upon the march, And staff in hand, they feasted a hasty meal: This done, in pensive meditation wrapt, The Saviour, conscious of impending death, Sate in the midst; to his all-present mind The treason and the traitor food confessed. Low'ring, abash'd and from the rest apart, Seariat at the table's lowest spot Took post, where best he might escape that glance, From whose intelligence no heart could hide Its guilty meditations: all eye else Were centered on the Saviour's face divine, Which with the brightness of the Godhead wise'd Traces of human sorrow, and display'd The workings of a mind, where mercy seam'd Struggling to reconcile some mortal wrong To pardon and forbearance: Such a look Mele silence fear'd, every tongue was mute: Even Peter's zeal forbore the vent of words, Or spent itself in murmurings half-supprest. At length the meek Redeem'r rais'd his eyes, Where gentle resignation, tempering grief, Beam'd grace ineffable on all around."
The third book gives an account of Judas's treason. His soliloquy, his sophistical arguments to reconcile his meditated treachery to his conscience, are excellent. An interview with Caiaphas and the Jewish Sanhedrim is, we think, too much dilated. Some spirited apostrophes, naturally arising from their behaviour, and the description of the infernal synod succeeding to their vacant seats on the dissolution of the assembly, are traced by the pencil of genius.
Now break your synod up, ye envious priests, Elders and scribes! prepare your harden'd hearts To judge the Lord of Life!"
Hence to your homes! there meditate new plots; The funds shall be your helpers, to your thoughts Present, though not in sight, they swarm around, Now here, now there, now hovering over head, Where, as your enmity to Christy breaks forth, And your blaspheming voices fill the roof, Like streaming vapors from sulphurous lakes, Joyous they catch the welcome sounds, and fan With clapping wings the pestilential air, Appalling as they soar. Now clear the ball; Yield up your seats, ye subaltern fiends; Hence, minor demons! give your masters place! And hark! the King of Terrors speaks the word, He calls his shadowy princes, they start forth, Expand themselves to sight and loom the ball, A synod of infernals! form more dire, Imagination shapes not, when the writhe, Whom confidence haunts, in the dead hour of night, While all is dark and silent round his bed, Sea-bickering phantoms in his fever'd dream, That stare him into madness with fix'd eyes And threatening faces floating in his brain."
In the fourth book we have a general review of Christ's agony in the garden.
Lo! where the Saviour kneels; he looks around For some to succor, to support, some friend, Who's sympathising eye might beam upon him, And with a moment's glance of pity clear His desolated spirit. All around Is vacant horror, solitary, dark; The partners of his bowl, the chosen few, The friends, who should have watch'd, are wrapt in sleep, Insensible, supine, oblivious sleep; Woeful multiplied by hours, and that his worst, Ingratitude, the sharpest pang that gnaws Man's bleeding bosom. In this sad extreme, His soul revolving from the unsovere draught, With eyes to heaven uplifted, and a sigh, Which shew'd that human weakness thro' o'erpower'd His soul's divine part—Abba! he cries, Father, all things are possible to Thee, Remove this cup!—Then bows his patient head And qualifies the pray'r—Yet not my will, But thine be done!—No voice from Heav'n replies; All Nature sleeps in silence still at death, As if the planets in their spheres had paus'd To watch the trembling balance, on whose point The fortunes of this globe suspended hung, Its ruin or redemption, death or life."

A View of the Evidences
of CHRISTIANITY.
IN THREE PARTS.
1. Of the direct Historical Evidence of Christianity, and wherein it is distinguished from the Evidence of other miracles.
2. Of the Auxiliary Evidence of Christianity.
3. A brief consideration of some popular Objections. By WILLIAM PALEY, M. A. Archdeacon of Carlisle.
In One large Octavo volume. Price one dollar and three quarters, handsomely bound.
In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Despotism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an object of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which had assumed their names and usurped their place, and in the subversion of which, Truth itself is too apt to be discarded without inquiry.
In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and candour which becomes it, and has exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of christianity every published.
