DESPAIR.
Nor be surpris'd in these few lines to find
The agitated picture of my mind, Resembling winds on Andes stormy steep.
Or roaring billows of the artic deep; Unequal'd: fill by raging sea or storm, So like to chaos, and to void of form. Ye howling winds awhile abate your force,
And view, amidst the emblem of your cabrize:
And ye vast seas, that lash the lonely shore,
Learn for your waves a new unusual roar—
See in my looks despair and fury join'd
And all the warring elements com- bin'd,
That mind where once tranquillity alone
Had fix'd her peaceful sway, her blis- ful throne
Is now to sickness, care and sad dis- may,
Pale want and dire disease become a prey.
The last dim gleam of hope retires from sight.
And all around its solitary night. These banks once gay, with verdant fo- liage crown'd,
Add to my tortur'd soul another wound, I mark where once the rose, the tulip
sprung, Where stray'd the bleating flocks beside their young:
When, void of pain, I sought the fra- grant air,
But now, alas! I rove in sad despair. These verdant banks, the culp and the
rose, And silver Mohawk heighten all my woes.
In vain the zephyrs waft their fragrant breath,
For my last wretched respite lies in Death.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
January 28, 1795.
Mr. New, of the committee on en- rolled bills reported the five following bills as truly enrolled, viz.
An act making appropriations for the support of the military establishment for the year one thousand seven hun- dred and ninety five, and for the ex- pences of the militia lately called into the service of the United States.
An act for the relief of Peter Co- venhoven.
An act authorising the transfer of stock standing to the credit of certain flats.
An act making appropriations for the support of government for the year 1795.
An act to regulate the pay of the non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates, of the militia of the United States, when called into actual service, and for other purposes.
The requisite certificate from the ex- ecutive of Maryland relative to the election of Mr. Edwards, having been received by the Speaker, and referred to the committee of elections—on a report from that committee, Mr. Ed- wards took his seat in the House.
The House then proceeded in the report of the committee of the whole on the naturalization bill. Mr. Giles's motion respecting the renunciation of Titles was further discussed.
The arguments in support of the motion were drawn from the Constitution of the United States—and from the existing state of things in Europe, where revolu- tionary principles had proscribed all hereditary titles and distinctions in such manner that there was the greatest pro- bability of this Country having a great accession of Inhabitants consisting of titled characters, whose aristocratic prin- ciples habits and attachments, would render them very unfit to sustain offices in a republican government—Great numbers of fugitive nobility were to be expected from France, and even from England, in case a revolution there should take place, which was considered as probable, the influence of these per- sons would be considerable.—It was not to be supposed that people born and nurtured in the lap of aristocracy would heartily renounce their titles, and become all at once sincere republi-
cans.—It was therefore highly impro- per that such persons should be admit- ted—No law at present exists to pre- vent such persons from voting or being elected—and the consequences of such a state of things were not to be calcu- lated. It was therefore highly proper to guard against every encroachment on the genius and spirit of our Con- stitution and the republican character of the people.—Titles led those who pos- sessed them to insolence in their manners, and others they afforded a pretext to be mean and servile. The Constitution of the United States has proscribed Titles, the present motion is therefore consonant to its spirit, and intention, where it says "No Title of nobility shall be granted by the United States, and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, with- out the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever from any king, prince or foreign state."
If foreigners wish to be naturalized, or to hold any office under the United States, by re- linquishing their titles, they will then only be on an equality with other Citi- zens.—If they do not wish to enjoy the rights of citizenship, they can retain their titles &c. &c. Mr. Giles, Mr. Madison, Mr. Page, Mr. Rutherford, Mr. McDowell and others supported the motion. Several gentlemen spoke in opposition to this amendment, in the course of the debate which, with some intervals of other business cont- inued three days.
Mr. Tracy regretted that so much time should be lost on trifling subjects, we had seen the National Convention of France, diminish their dignity, by spending three or four days, on the bus- iness of giving a name to the late Duke of Orleans, and hardly had they finish- ed, by giving him the Name of Ega- lite, before in substance he became no bad, that they cut his head off. What good did his renunciation of title do, except- ing, that it afforded him a short oppor- tunity of deceiving his fellow-citizens?
Mr. Tracy said, he was fully convinced, and had been so from the beginning of the debate on the naturalization Bill, that a length of time, was the only valu- able probation, of an Alien, and the only successful mode of discerning his principles, and the justice and propriety of his claim to be naturalized. He thought the sentiments of the Gentle- man from Virginia, (Mr. Giles) were highly commendable, when he said he ought to avoid extremes in politics, and adopt a sober medium of political rea- sonings, suited to the steady and rational temper of Americans, equally removed, on the one hand, from tyranny, and on the other, from anarchy.
And he would ask, whether a so- lemn abjuration of all foreign allegiance, with proofs of a good moral character, and attachment to the principles of our government, would not secure us, as to the principles of the heart, as thorough- ly without the fear of renouncing his title, as with it?—He considered titles, in this country, as very empty unmean- ing things, and they would go into dis- use of themselves, having no solid sup- port, either in the habits or constituti- on of this country: But by the consti- tution of the United States, any citi- zen might receive and enjoy a title from a foreign prince or sovereignty, and Congress could not prevent it.
The words of the Constitution are, "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States; and no person hold- ing any office of profit or trust, un- der them, shall without consent of Congress, accept any present emolu- ment, office or title of any kind what- ever, from any King, Prince, or for- eign state."
Mr. Tracy supposed it was clear that Congress had no power respecting this matter, but what was expressly delegated by the Constitution, and that had given them a check only on officers of their own appointment, leaving every other citizen, not an officer of government at liberty to retain a foreign title if he pleased. And an Alien might, even if this amendment should pass, renounce his title, become naturalised, and in an hour accept of the same title, or another from any foreign Prince: and Congress can make no Law to prevent it. If it be a fault, that our citizens can receive and enjoy titles, it is a constitutional one, Congress are not blamable for it, but they would be blamable were they to arrogate powers not given them, upon this, or any other subject—Mr. Tracy repeated that there could be no danger in this country from titles, they were universally considered as trifles, and it would be dignifying them too much to legislate about them. He asked the gentleman who brought forward this motion, whether it was not, in a mea- sure, a departure from his former de- claration, of sober rational temper in politics to insist so much upon its im-
portance as he did. He was sorry the yeas and nays were insisted upon with so much spirit, it looked like party, in a very unimportant matter, he did not mean to accuse any man, or men, and mentioned it, with diffidence, but it real- ly struck his mind in that way. Much had been said, about adhering to the Constitution, strictly, on former occa- sions, but from many things said now, it seemed as tho' there was no safety for the people, unless the House of Rep- resentatives absorbed the whole govern- mental power. Mr. Tracy said if that house should become political cannibals, and attempt to devour both the other branches of the legislature, he would op- pose it, whether it was popular or not, for he considered the constitutional checks of the branches of this govern- ment, upon one another, as containing the most complete security for liberty, that any people could enjoy.
If his construction was a just one, Mr. Tracy thought the amendment could do no good, it formed a test which might make hypocrites, but not professes, it stripped an alien for a moment of a trifle, which in the next he might resume and wear forever.
Mr. Sedgwick said he had already expressed his opinion relative to the sub- ject before the House. It had, indeed, consumed infinitely more time than its merits deserved. Notwithstanding all the zeal which the occasion called forth, he was incapable of attaching to the motion any thing important or manly: From the time it had been first brought forward, to the present moment, it had constantly appeared to him as extreme- ly frivolous, and inexpressibly puerile:
It was, in his opinion, infinitely be- neath the dignity of the representatives of the people, to waste their time in this childish manner: The bill had al- ready provided, that (as one of the means to obtain the right of citizen- ship) an alien should renounce and ab- jure for ever, all allegiance to the gov- ernment of the country from which he came: From the moment this should be done, all relation between him and that government would be dissolved.
Such person would have relinquished all claim to the protection of that gov- ernment, by expressly renouncing all the duties of allegiance. Could a man in such circumstances, expect to retain honors and titles, as flowing from a gov- ernment, his relation to which he had expressly relinquished? It was utterly impossible. The motion then, should it obtain, would be altogether nugato- ry—it could produce no effect.
It might be asked, then, why this strenuous opposition to the motion? The question would best be answered by retreating the steps which had been taken. When the motion was first made in the committee of the whole, the mover himself suggested doubts of its propriety. It excited neither a ner- vous support, nor decided opposition.
The motion itself, after some faint ef- fays for its success, was withdrawn in the committee of the whole. Being renewed in the House, it again receiv- ed the same kind of countenance; and it also was opposed on the same ground.
Hitherto he had viewed its progress with indifference; but no sooner were the yeas and nays called, than it assum- ed a different aspect. It might have occurred to those, who wished a deci- sion of the question in this mode, that it would appear to be a test of political theory—it might be intended to impress a belief, that those who voted in the negative were the friends of aristocracy,
and therefore, unfit to administer a government, founded on the principle of an equality of rights. He trusted, that were those gentlemen who voted in the negative once known, it would produce no effect. He believed their characters were too firmly establish- ed to receive injury from any insidious at- tempts to wound them: but this might not be the case in those districts where they were, personally, strangers. If this was intended by calling for the yeas and nays, it was unmanly and ungene- rous. It was known to all, that efforts had been made to create such a belief; and they had been too successful. He had too good an opinion of the gentle- men of the House, to suppose, that here those idle tales had deceived an in- dividual.
He did not solicit, and he would not, to have the call for the yeas and nays reversed. He would not wish to live at all, if it was made a condition, to court popularity by mean and un- worthy submissions. Let gentlemen persist in the course they were pursu- ing—let them perpetuate dissention and discord—let them plant the seeds of jealousy and disunion: It would, how- ever, become them to deliberate on the probable effects of those measures of irritation.
Wherefore were the yeas and nays called? It was not to vindicate the cha-
acters of the mover and supporters of the question, for they would, undoubt- edly, be known.—It was not from an apprehension that by the loss of the question the means of personal justifi- cation would be lost also. The only possible object which he could conceive, and he had no doubt it was the true one, was to stigmatize certain charac- ters, as holding principles, which it was well known they abhorred. How worthy and honorable, how many and generous such motives—how consistent such conduct with the constant professi- on of a desire of conciliation! Gentle- men should either cease to speak of con- ciliation, or be less industrious in seiz- ing on causes of irritation. He was happy to perceive, that on one side of the House conciliation was more than a thing to talk about. From a disposi- tion to conciliate, his colleague (Mr. Dexter) had withdrawn his motion re- specting slave-holders; but, gentlemen were so far from reciprocating his col- leagues sentiments, that a gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Nicholas) had most violently attacked the mover, after the motion was withdrawn. Authorised by the example of that gentleman, of speaking to a question not before the House, he would take the liberty to declare, in reply, that in his opinion the relation of master and slave, gene- rated habits at least as uncongenial with the principles of our government, as would exist by not requiring the re- nunciation of a title in writing, which its owner had once already renounced by his solemn oath of abjuration.
If the motion was in itself innoc- ent, it might be asked, and indeed the question had already been insinu- ated, why not prevent the intended ex- by a unanimous vote? The answer was a very obvious one, that to shrink now from opinions heretofore given, would afford evidence to support the charge, that we were actuated by a des- pite poverty of spirit.
To be continued.
A CHARGE
Delivered to the several GRAND JU-
RIES of the Counties of Allegheny,
Westmoreland, Fayette, and Washing-

ALEXANDER ADDISON, Pre-
sident of the Courts of Common Pleas
in those Counties.
(Concluded from our last.)
IN the exercise of a lesson of the power of government, and are taught, that how- ever riot and anarchy may triumph for a while, there is an energy and strength in government to crush them; that reason and the laws are the only true protection of free citizens; that violence brings only ruin on its authors; that in times of sed- ition, it is the true interest of all, to be not lukewarm and indifferent, but firm and persevering on the side of authority; and that the faithful friends of law and or- der, however borne down for a time, will in the end be protected and rise above op- pression.
Even on the bright prospect of the ge- nerous and spirited conduct of our pat- riotic fellow citizens a cloud intervenes. The arms of them fell by our arms; yet some have fallen victims to a change of climate and manner of living, an inclement sea- son, and severity of fatigue over swamps and mountains. Some gallant youths will never return to their anxious parents.— Some parents will never return to blest their children, in their dying moments, and some husbands have expired without a wife to close their eyes. Can we think of this without suspicion, that the blood may be on our heads!
But, gentlemen, the past cannot be re- called; let us only study to improve by it; and strive to make some compensa- tion by our future conduct. For this purpose, let us suppress the first seeds of sedition and riot before they grow up as before to a strength not to be resisted. Let even words tending to any violence or a breach of the peace, be held criminal. Let every witness of such things carry the offer- der before a magistrate, that justice may be executed. And let every magistrate take heed, that he bear not the sword in vain. To permit criminals to escape from punishment, is to encourage crimes. Im- punity begets offences, as corruption pro- duces magots. A few examples of pu- nishment of the late disorderly, given a- mong ourselves in each county, will per- haps secure our peace for many years, and prevent the existence of many crimes, and the necessity of many and severe punish- ments.
To your particular and serious confide- ration, gentlemen, do I address these for- timents. You are the door, by which justice only can be come at. By you a way may be opened to justice. By you justice may be shut up. In your hands the law of your country have placed this authori- ty; and, for your exercise of it strictly, according to law and truth, you are bound by your oaths and answerable to your God. You have no discretion to do as you please; your opinions must be go- verned by the laws; your belief must be guided by testimony; and so you have sworn. It is not for you, to determine, whether it is expedient, that punishment should be inflicted on any particular of-

True liberty, like true religion, is known by its fruits. Liberty, the daughter of Heaven, and the best gift of God to a favorite people, a generous principle, whose object is the peace and prosperity of the human race; must produce fruits worthy of its divine origin; meekness, justice and love of one another. Licentiousness, the offspring of hell, and the scourge of an offending nation, selfish in its nature, and feeling the degradation of all mankind, bears fruits of an opposite nature; sedition, fury, hatred, malice, and mischief. By its fruits judge, whether our insurrection proceeded from a spirit of liberty, or of licentiousness; whether it was the work of God or of the devil. Do your duty, gentlemen and satisfy your own consciences. Present all offenders whatever to the justice of your country. This you are bound by your oath to do. Whether those offenders shall be considered as proper objects of mercy or of punishment, it is not for you to decide. That question lies with others; and you cannot take it up, without violating your oaths, and prostrating the principles of our laws and government. I shall conclude with exhorting to a speedy and faithful compliance with two propositions, made to us by the agent of government. One is taking an oath of fidelity, and submission to the laws, and the other is entering into an association, for supporting their authority, and protecting their officers. It may be asked, why should we do so? I will give two reasons. 1. We have been great offenders; and we cannot give too strong assurances of our return to duty. The assurances required seem due to our own character, and to the satisfaction of our fellow citizens. 2. A temporary army is now, and a standing army will be, established among us; which we can convince government and our fellow citizens, by unequivocal proofs of our regular and sincere habits of submission to law, and exertions to enforce obedience to all authority. If we refuse compliance, government, and our fellow citizens, may suspect, that there is a change only in our conduct, not in our hearts; that our submission is temporary and dissembled, and that if we believed it safe, we would again break out into riots. Let us prevent such suspicions by our conduct; and, as we have rendered it necessary for government to establish a force to restrain us; let us render it proper to withdraw this force. Let us begin, by taking this oath, & entering into this association, and continue in a faithful adherence to both. We may thus repair our character, and relieve ourselves from the disgrace of being governed by force and a standing army.

Hooker & Stebbins, It may be agreeable to many, and probably will be to all, who are pleased with new and useful improvements, to be informed, that the Locks, Canals, and other works at the Falls on Connecticut River, at South Hadley, are now completed in every part, except the labour of a day or two at the lower end of the Canal. These works comprise a Canal about two miles and an half in length, and about 25 feet wide, cut thro' various soils and of different depths, one fourth of which distance the Canal is thro' solid rock, and the average depth of 100 rods thereof, in the rock, is near 25 feet. At the head a very strong dam is erected transversely up the river about 160 rods, and terminates on a rock; over against the head of which dam, another direct dam is built on the main Channel, from one rock to another, 8 rods in length, where the ordinary depth of water is 18 feet, and the current exceedingly strong; these dams, with a guard Lock, are erected to overcome the rapids above, and throw a sufficient quantity of water into the Canal, and to regulate the same. Towards the fourth end of the Canal is an Inclined Plane, which, with the Hydraulic machine annexed, (much improved beyond the European plan) is designed to effect and facilitate the passage of Boats, &c. over a descent of 50 feet, without the ordinary use of Locks; this new invention, however it may affect the proprietors in point of expence, will certainly much oblige the passenger in regard to dispatch, as a passage in this way, will be effected in less than one fourth part of the time it would take to pass the necessary number of Locks. These works were begun early in the summer of 1793, about 250 workmen were employed through the whole of that season, and about 200 more thro' the last; and although they were at first considered as new, dangerous and expensive, were undertaken and executed under the superintendence of Mr. BENJAMIN PRESCOTT of Northampton (and with much honor to his genius) without the aid or direction of any foreign or experienced Engineer. This Canal is the first ever begun in New-England, and the first of any consideration, finished in the United States, and the Inclined Plane, with the machine annexed, is the first of the kind in America. The works being thus completed, the president, directors, and other proprietors, met there yesterday; where also a large number of other gentlemen were collected to view the same; when the superintendant, to gratify the curiosity of the company, and to satisfy the proprietors and others, of the practical sufficiency of this singular machine, by exhibiting a specimen of its operation, received from the Canal above, on to the grand carriage, a boat loaded, not with ordinary merchandise, but with a number of the gentlemen present; then let the same down to the edge of the water in the canal below, and returned the same with 60 or 70 persons, gentlemen and ladies aboard, to the place where they set out; when the proprietors gave it the name of the HAMPSHIRE MACHINE, and the company then gave three decent and joyous cheers, on beholding so pleasing, ingenious, and useful a novelty in the country. The motion of the carriage seemed perfectly under the command of the director, to accelerate or retard it; and was so easy, regular, and uniform, that the passenger would discover it by observation, rather than his feelings. The company were highly pleased with this new exhibition, and the proprietors, on seeing the works thus completed and in such operation, were fully confirmed in their apprehension, that they would be of great and extensive benefit to the public, and indulged some additional hopes, that in due time, they themselves might realize some small compensation for their great risque and expence; and that having so boldly led the way in an attempt of this sort, and cast their bread upon the waters, they should receive it again, tho' it might not be till after many days. From the rapid settlement and population in the northern parts of this country, the present annual transportation of produce up and down Connecticut river is truly surprising, and yearly increasing beyond what, without calculation, any one would probably conceive: the interest of the public, therefore, must be essentially promoted by
every improvement like this at the Falls of South Hadley. The canals, which are contemplated, and even begun at Miller's, at Lillie's and White river falls, when they shall be completed, will be of mutual advantage to each other, and the great and increasing benefit accruing therefrom to the public, will be diffused into all parts of the country, and affect, more or less, the interest of every description of persons, especially in the neighbourhood of Connecticut river.

On Saturday last the State Senate by a considerable majority threw out the members elected to represent those western counties lately in a state of rebellion. Mr. Gallatin on the same day delivered his opinion against adopting a similar measure in the house. He took in his argument the following ground. If the election is viewed as vitiated then a committee of the house only can constitutionally decide. If the voters in the western counties are to be disfranchised, this must be done by a legislative act requiring the concurrence of both branches, but such an act passed now would be an ex post facto law; the disfranchisement should have been declared before the election, during the last session of the legislature.

By this ship the Editor has received Dublin Papers to the 27th of October, copious extracts from which will be given to-morrow. LONDON, October 14. The society for the propagation of the christian religion in the Highlands of Scotland, have erected 210 schools for the purpose in that part of the country; and the number of the scholars, who receive daily instruction in these little academies, is estimated at 17,000 and upwards. The invention of a machine with a perpetual motion, has long been considered as an object of the greatest importance; and many men, eminent for their abilities, have bestowed much time and expence in endeavouring to find out the hidden principles of this machine. A mason in Arbroth, at a very early period in life, began to study this branch of mechanism; and now, after thirty-six years of almost constant application, his endeavours have proved successful. He has finished a machine, in principle and construction quite different from any other hitherto produced. It is almost entirely composed of metal, has neither pendulum nor spring to actuate its motion, but moves merely by its own powers of pressure. This mobile has performed a regular movement for some time past, and from the simplicity of its construction, and the principles by which it is regulated, there is little reason to doubt but that it will go for ages. In order to obtain a proper idea of the various debates in the national convention, the following topographical knowledge of its present formation is necessary. At present, all the members of the convention are seated on one side of the hall of the convention, namely, on the left. This is the same side which bears the name of the Mountain. Quite at the top of the Mountain are seated the friends of the late committee of public welfare, who with terror still to remain the order of the day; or do not, at least with that lenity and moderation should be extended to the aristocrats, the nobles, and the priests. In the middle are the friends of moderation, who wish that the revolutionary government should be founded upon justice and equity; who suffered many aristocrats to escape; and greet the friends of terror with the title of man killers, cut throats, &c. Below is the Plain, which consists partly of some of the ancient inhabitants of the Plain, partly of some deserted inhabitants of the Marsh, and their number has of late become very numerous. The latter hold generally more with the middle than with the top of the Mountain. Letters from London say, that the importation of tobacco from Holland, is permitted in England, and consequently, that great quantities are expected from that quarter. Baltimore Paper.

PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription, A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut. By Zephaniah Swift, A Representative in Congress from said State.
THIS Work will be published in two vo- lumes octavo, of five hundred pages each, will be printed on good paper with a new type; will be neatly bound and lettered & delivered to the Subscribers at the price of four dollars. The names of the Subscri- bers will be added as Patrons of the Un- dertaking.
This work is intended to present to the public the elementary principles of the laws of Connecticut, in a systematic arrange- ment. It will contain an abridgement of the common law of England, as far as it has been adopted in that State: the com- mon law of that State which has been introduced by the practice and adjudications of their courts; and a general view of the regulations established by Statute. These will be interwoven and arranged in the or- der necessary to unfold at one view a com- plete system of law.
Gentlemen in every State in the Union, who have been conversant in courts, must have observed the extreme difficulty of ac- quiring an accurate knowledge of law for want of such a work. Though the com- mon law of England is the basis of the ju- risprudence of every State, yet difference of circumstances has rendered that law in so many instances inapplicable, and so many alterations have been made by Stat- ute and custom, that it is impracticable to obtain a complete understanding of our laws by the study of the writings of the English Jurists. To connect with the En- glish law the variations established by Stat- ute and custom, requires a long-continu- ed attention to practice in courts, which can only be expected from professional men —while the student, and those who wish to become acquainted with the elementary principles of Jurisprudence, can find no treatise to facilitate their pursuits similar to the Institutes, Digests and Commentar- ies published in England. This considera- tion evidences the propriety, utility and necessity of Treatises of our own.
Though so great is the difference between the constitution and the laws of the differ- ent States in the Union, that a work cal- culated for one State cannot be of general use, yet it is presumed that gentlemen of the profession as well as gentlemen of Sci- ence in every State, will be disposed to pa- tronize the first attempt in this country, to compile a system of Jurisprudence upon a plan, which if adopted throughout the U- nited States, must produce the most ben- eficial and extensive effects. The situation of the American Republic requires that the knowledge of the laws of each State should be generally diffused, to enable every State to borrow and introduce the im- provements of other States—to facilitate their commercial intercourse with each o- ther—and to assimilate the laws of the whole as near as possible, for the purpose of removing local prejudices and inconveni- ences, and strengthening the bands of the Union. Though the Jurisprudence of Con- necticut cannot claim in general, any ad- vantages superior to the other States, yet in certain points of view, the peculiar laws and institutions of that State, will be found worthy the attentive consideration of the Jurist, the Legislator, and the Phi- losopher.
In no State in the Union, will there be found a constitution more popular, with a government more quiet and regular—or a code of laws more simple, with an admin- istration of Justice more easy and expedi- tious. But the most important peculiar- ties are the institutions of Towns, Eccle- siastical Societies, and Schools—Towns are subordinate corporations, vested with certain powers and privileges of a local nature, and within a limited extent. All the inhabitants have the right to meet—to elect certain town officers, and to lay taxes to defray their expenses. They consist tute within certain limits the most perfect democracy known in any country. Eccle- siastical Societies are religious corporations formed upon a basis that gives to the Go- vernment all the advantages of an ecclesi- astical establishment, and secures to the people the most perfect liberty of conscience —Schools are instituted in every quarter of the State, and are calculated to answer the important purpose of establishing the means of general education; and of com- municating the rudiments of useful science to the mass of the people. The nature of these subordinate corporations will be ex- plained, with remarks respecting their in- fluence on Manners, Society and Govern- ment.
This will unfold a new subject of con- templation to the Philosophic Enquirer, & it is hoped, will induce Statesmen, Jurists, and Literary Characters, in every part of the Union, to encourage and patronize the undertaking.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF
Poole's Synopsis of the Tran- slations of the Bible,
And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal crit- icisms, and most valuable Elucidations of the Scripture; Illustrations of the an- cient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been matter of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both cus- ious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest enter- tainment and utility; in which by the La- bors of the learned of various ages and na- tions, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of mod- ern translations, and the ancient manners, metaphors, allegories, and figures are il- lustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sub- lime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophers, to all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man.
This work is proposed to the Public on the following
CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be complet- ed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a suffi- cient number shall be subscribed for, to de- fray the expense.

To the Public.
A SUBSCRIPTION is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF
Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to con- sider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance.
The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's:
The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14; and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 2, 3, &c.
A summary View of the Heavenly Doc- trines of the New Jerusalem Church.
As various opinions have been enter- tained respecting the invaluable writings and yet no portion by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead there- of, invidious calumnies and groundless re- ports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will fer- rionally examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
