III'ONTHLY 4G.RICULTUR,4L REPORT.

ZiCE our last, the state of the season has been
iremarkably fine, both for the purposes of filling,
ripening, and cutting the crops. in many of the
?Midland and more Southern Districts, much of the
li'hear and barley crops have been already cut and
tecured. The oats are also mostly in nearly a state
a ripeness for being cut. The crops, we have al-
e4dy occasionally observed, turn out :.usually
iteod and abundant; old grain, however, ;till keeps
tip in price..
, The Pea-crops, in• many clkstriEts, have also been
1/"Aadv secured ; but on the drier descriptions of
aO, they are probably not so full or abundant as
-*as expeEtel, the great al yntss add the heat of the
Weather having been unfavourable for them.
The ravages of the black fly have, in many places,..
bli-en so injurious to the Beans as to reduce them to.,
IPiddli! &crops.
•
The hay harvest is irios,tly finished in the southern
I)arts of the king loin, and in those of the north it -
ts. Considerably advanced. The prices of old hay
f•eeP up,

The want of rain has operated unfavourably for
the rouens, or after crops-of hay, the yoUng grasses,
re many places, seeming to die away by the great
at and dryness of the season ; of course, except
rain soon falls, there will be but very light crops.
The pasture lands, especially those of the drier
4nd more elevated kinds, are likewise in want of
rain, the herbage, in many places, falling off by
the drAight. 'the low-pastures are, however, in a
more flourishing condition.
Turnips appear well in general, though, in some
places, rather patchy.
Lire stock of almost every kind begin tube more
Plentiful, though the, prices still keep high'.
Hogs are also more plentiful. Horses of. the good
*addle kind are still dear.
In some of the cyder distri4s, the frith turns out
more abundant, than was at first supposed.

and the CoMmissioners of the Navy, went afloat-

B ATAVIANSj

. " We should conceive ourselves deficlent in itity
to the Country, if we did not seize with avidity
the important period, of which we 'are witnesses,
wherein, after a commotion as long as vehement, a
,dangerous soaring of opposite passions, opinions,
aims, and interests—a, well-framed Constitution is
at length establiShed, adapted to the nature and the.
wants of the People, which, by a balance fortunate-
ly restored, has brought back the State, almost rent
in pieces, to the proper operation of its greatly di-
vided.powers, and the tranquillity of a well-ordered
Government.

f‘ Fellow Citizens, we should not merit the con-
4dence of this respelled Nation, if we did not at
:once embrace the in.nnent so ardently implored of
.Heaven—in which the criticalTontest with formid-
able Enemies abroad,. is so unexpectedly and so .hol.
nourably terminated ; . in which, with the establish-
ed Peace, is opened .to us a transporting prospeet of
re-animated Commerce,, prosperity and welfiire :
to make a decisive experiment for the petted anni-
hilation of all internal misunderstandings and con-
tentions, which have thus far reigned in the midst
of us, which hive ahuost crushed us, and operated
more prejudice. to the dearest interests of the
Country, -than the formidable Armies and Fleets of
our pcwv tf 8./reign
" What a potent excitement to a favoured ta.
;ior.,; *hat a siggificanr gla.nce of Providence;
to lender serviceable to them the favourable concur-
rt.nce of such 'great events to the important ends
which:it, in its boundless wisdom, seems to have
had in view'!

And in what manner can a mild and virtuous.-
People more sincerely manifest their gratitude, how
more acceptably,. to the gracious.SupteMe, or more
worthy .of humanity, than by a cordial reconcilia-
,
tion and 'a hearty and unfeigned forgetting and for-
giveness of all supposed or real injuries ? In what
better: and more interesting, manner to the State,
could a goodand pious Government respond to those
blessings. than by annihilating even the recolledion.
8f all that has been suffered or done amiss .rwal a
dirfeir.oce of opinions as to the interests of the State.;
in short, .than by a General and unlimited Amnesty
and Remission, without any exception; while
Justice alone shall -preserve her vigilance with re-
speet to those who .have rendered themselves guilty
of srimes, which, having no relation to Politics,
cannot, in their nature, be comprehended in this
Amnesty. ,
" Penetrated with the idea, that, after vehement
disttirbances and rapidly succeeding Revolutions, the
only infallible cure is, to tranquillize the minds of
men, to temper the ardent passion for change, to
smother the- spirit of faCtion for ever, and to give
the agitated State at length that calmness and rest
once more which is so indispensible to the establish,
tent of its dearest Viten-vs, and expressly adapted
to secure it against new explositir;*2; convinced-that,
with the reconciliation of our last and most dreaded,
Enemy, the Independence of this State is guarded
against ail farther uir!.,riprc from abroad :=--cheered
by the idea, that lovely Peace: WAraniinaTed wail
new vigour the spirit of industry, so greatly im-
paired by dejection and adversity, and opened, robre
and more, all patriotic hearts to' the gentler senti-
ments of confidence, unanimity, and mutual at of
benevolence, with the banishment, wholly
.and rc_
ciprocally, of all old and to:) long cherished revenge :
We deemed it nece,sary and consistent with our du:,
ty, to propose such an unlimited Amnesty to the
Legislative Assembly, and in conformity th.Jcto,
by.a Resolution of that Body, on the x3tli lost. it
is enacted i

" That there be granted a general Amnesty, re-
mission, anti oblivion of all real, or 'supposed real
crimes, which originated in a difference of political
opinions ; and this without any exception, to
which end, all, those are comprehended herein, wh‘,
at the time, or after the change of affairs in 1795,
flying; were necessarily excluded.iroin the Amnesty
of March 25, Igor, during the preceding Co_'nsti
tutioh ;-as also those' who served the then Enemy by
water or land against tl;iy Republic, or who other.
wise acted in political or military hostilities ; all
.sentences pronounced and executed on them, on
this account, being considered as annulled, although
the punishment imposed be not wholly inflicted,
with this proviso nevertheless, with reference to
th last mentioned sentences, that the judge by
.whom they have been pronounced, at the request of
the persons sentenced, shall previously have de-
dared, that such, sentence has alone been pro.
nounced on account of deeds arising in a difference
of political opinions, without being accompanied
by other offences which, having no reference to
Politics, have, in all times and under all circum.
Stances, been considered in a criminal yoint
view;--to the giving of which deClarations, the
higher and lower criminal Tribunals Within this
Republic, matters being disposed.of accordingly,
are hereby authorised and qualified ; provided,
however, that stria attention be paid that these
declarations, in no respect whatever, be extended
to such high or inferior placemen and officers who
have surrendered the National Establishments,
possessions, places or ships, through treason, igno-
rance, or cowardice, to the Enemy, without having
offered becoming resistance, or, in any other man-
ner,. have been unfaithful to their oath or promises
made to this Goverement after the Revolution of
1795, all whose offences, according to their shade
and nature, are nor comprehended in this Am-
nesty ; while for the same reason, are specially ex-
cluded such,commanding and other officers who, by
actually surrendering or consenting to surrender,
caused -the National Fleet in the Vi ein' to fall'
into-t..e Enemy's hands on the 31st of August
1,799-• ' the investigation 'of which .transaction,.-
for so far as it yet remains undecided? shall be and
remain. subject to the 1-figh Military Tribunal of
this Republic ; all Declarations which may he de-
livered by any Tribunals, repugnant, to the afore-
said explication; being to be held as null and void:
if That further, in consequence of this Am- -
I:testy, criminal procedures on matters arising from
u difference of political opinions as before alluded

• , . .
tot. and which are stilt pending in the CourtS, shall
from henceforth cease ; and as oori-as'ihe accused
sliail.be provided with the before-mentioned, juli.
cial Dechtrationi the Snit shall be considered as
never has/ ing been commenced. - -
't That, lastly, no criminal picisechticins shall
further be allowed to be instituted by the public
Accusers within this Republic, on ,account of mat-
ters before specified ; and in futtire ail. procednres
of that nature shall be Confined to offences com-
mitted after the issuing of this Publication ; pro_
vided, however, that by .the.., annihiJaring of the
aforesaid sentences, procedures, and aaloos, the
condemned and. the accused -acquire as
,little claim
to demand a restitution of law-costs, as to he re-
stored to such, politiCal or Military employmetits,•
which they may formerly have filled in this
Republic.
" Come then, Batavians. !, and make an undaunted
use of this a 1 of oblivion and amnesty. -Slew, by:
your future conduct, that you, in case of need,
with sacrificing your private opinions and interests, '
are averse to expose'your Country.anew to confu.
sion, discord, and civil war. * Share henceforward,
equally with others,- in 'the advantages of Society,
as well as in the flattering prospect of universal
rosperity and welfare; and forget all Opposed or,
real injuries as sincerely as you desire it of others.
'l3o- not lay us, against our will, under the painful
necessity, of giving indubitable indications, by a
succeeding stria maintenance of the laws, 'that
this measure was not the effea of imbecility, of.
.distrust as to the firmness Of the present ordkof,
