EDITOR.—In your Paper, I nistice the
opinion of your Correspondent B. respecting the
erection of what are called nooses of Industry
for the Poor, which are almost always tnade jobs
of for the benefit of a few individuals, at the ex-
pense of the Parish, and if less encouragement to
go into those places, and snore to keep out of
them were given, it would be very advantageous
to the Public and themselves.

There is in this Kingdom, and almost in every
County of it, a great quantity of Waste Lands ; if
ibis could properly cultivated, little doubt can
be entertained, that enough of Corn might be
grown fur 01IT o,i'n consumption, and thereby save
tits immense loins .constanily paid for importa-
tion, nor woold this at all interfere with the in-
terest of the A4ricul!urio, as it would preclude
the necessity of importation. It would greatly
facilitate this cultivation if an Act of radiomen(
enchrsurva could lie.- made less expensive, or a
general Act, including all extensive Tracts of Ibis
description of Lands. I have no doubt, tl:e wis-
dom of the present Padiament might find means
to obviate the present difficulties and promote its
adopt ion.
It is perfectly evident, that our Manufactories
can neither sustain their people or employ them ;
it is owing to so many mote Goods being made
than there is kinand for, that so many Bankrupt-
cies ensue ; iny own knoAle(l4e, a • very large
proportion of mAnufact tired goods of different de-
scriptions are sold for less than they coat, and
surely this carried on to a great extent, as it has
for a considerable time been, must produce
table loin.

If Gvntletnen, also, About their own Estates,
would promote cultivation and improvement, we
should soon see these violent discontents vanish,
for want of employ makes the Poor discontented .
and want of trade Manufacturers insolvent. The
Parliament have clearly shewn, how desirous they
are to prevent crimes; I !twit they will be equally
so to prevent calamities.

TIM RUMP OF THE WHIGS.

" Down with. the ftumps"—,lncient Toast.

MV. EDITOR—I hate rumps, and have a strong
propensity to kick them, but, of all such latter
ends, I have not secs any so odious and indecent
as the present RUMP OF THE WHIGS. The Whigs
werelonce a respectable Parry, not indeed within
my memory, but in the pages of History. They
have beeti gradually descending from bad to worse,
from the reign of George the First, when one of
their own Party said of them, " we have lately
seen those noble principles so scandalously pro-
stituted, by some persons who are pleased to call
themselves Whigs, and so strenuously asserted by
many others who have been reputed Tories, that
we are ashamed to value ourselves upon such an
idle distinction of names any longer."* But
what were the ddinnnencies of any Whigs in
those days compared with what we have witnessed
in the RUMP of that Party at ;,resent. When
those who were sound and honourable, and re-
tained a generous feeling for the Country, faced
about to defend her Constitution, then this rem.
want, this fragment, this scrap, this rump of the
Party, chose rather to make their approaches to
tie vilest and most despicable enemies by which
she ever was attacked, than by the smallest in-
clination towards the legal Sovereign, to in-
crease, in the smallest degree, the strength of
those who acted under him. Well may it be
said of such partizans, that they " wish fur jest
so much national calamity as may bring them-
selves into power," and are ready to abet the
worst of causes for that ill nmened object.

Ongerving these things, if the eyes of the people
could be opened also, to view thew in their true
light, ue might expeet once more to ses

Which served for characters and badges,

Nay, Tee may add Nobles too, to the list of per-
sons s• to he represented ; though not twiny, yet
de.ep in the offence. These are the turn, who for
years have used their Country as Shylock repre-
sented himself to have been used by Antonio.
"They have disgraced her, hindered her of many
a tmllion,—lnughed at her losses, mocked at her
gains [and triumphs], scorned her glory, thwart-
ed her policy, cooled her triends, heated her Cite-
mies." To crown the whole, we have heard one
of thein, after being raised front poverty and rain
by the mere favour of Government, polluting the
ears of Pariiament with a studied eulogy on one
who for thirty years, at least, has wade those
anti-patriotic practices, not only his employment
hut his trade, and has thriven and fattened on the
base occupation. More ddlotillencirs -I,ll‘glit easily
be recomoed, and worse, but this may suffice for
a srejtuen. Such is the RUMP UF Tile WHIGS

WASHINGTON CITY, I)ec. 6..—From a gende•
marl who is arrived in this city from Pensacola,
which place lie left on the 10th Nov., we learn
that 01) ta,inforeentent of troops had arrived there,
as had been reported. The Spanish Governor,
CALIIAVA, is represented to he respectable as a
mat] and as an officer ; but it was supposed, if
the United States should be obliged again to send
a force to occupy that part, it would not be in
his power, IA ith the means at his disposal, to
make any serious resistance. We yet hope there
will he no necessity for that step on our part.
ST. Loafs, M.T. NOV. 2.—The Emigration.--;
Notwithstanding the great number of persons
who are held in check by the agitation of the
slave question in Congress, the emigration to the
Missouri is astonishingly great. Pt obably from
30 to 50 waggons daily cross the Mississippi at
the different ferries, and bring in en average of
400 to 500 souls a-clay. The emigrants are prin-
cipally from Kentucky, Virginia, &c. and the
States further south ;' they bring great nanibers
of slaves, knowing that Congress has no power
to impose the agitated restriction, and that the
people of Missouri will never adopt it.

SETTLERS TAKIIIG ARMS TO TER CAPE OF GOOD

H OP R.

" Den nine-street, Dec. 3.

BATIMII9T hl3 received Repre•
sentations from several of the Settlers, proceeding
to the Cape of Good Hope, setting forth the dif-
ficulty and inconvenience under which they are
placed by the existing Laws, in'respect tosthe ex-
portation of arms and ammunition. And I have
to request that you will state to the Lords Com-
10i3sioners of the Treasury that there exists nO
objection on his part to allow the Settlers to take
with them such proportion of arms and ammunition
as may appear cleady intended for their indivi-
thud use, leaving it to those who may be
desirous to export larger quantities of these ar-
ticles to obtain the usual terms far that purpose

iroin the Lords of the Council ; and t have, tlierc.
fore, to request that you will move the Lords of
the Treasury to cause such directioncto be given
to the Officers of his Majesty's Revenue of Cus-
toms as they may conceive best calculated to fa-
cilitate the embarkment of arms and ammunition
belonging to Settlers.

The rumour that meas►►res are in train to effect
a Divorce in Persons of a very exalted rank,

have been recently revived with more than
ordinary earnestness, and seem to wear a
more probable aspect. As the stabiect is,
to use an expression of Mr. BUR-KE, too " highs
matter" for comment in a Poblie Print, and at all
events, is not ripe enough for discussion, we
sisal{ forbear at present to say any thing more on
an occasion of such interest and importance.

It is highly gratifying to find that in this age,
which is too much inclined to habits of dissipa-
tion„ the characteristic benevolence of the coun-
try exists in unabated zeal. Many institutions
for the relief of the Poor, in this almost unparal-
-I,led period of distress among the lower orders of
the people, have been founded; and as we are
Meti as well as BruroNs, tree feel pleasure in ob-
serving that some philan, hropic individn:ils have
formed what is styled The Strangers' Friend
Society," for the relief of those Foreigners
who, having no claims upon Parochial protection,
are reduced to the most destitute and lamentable
condition. Such a Society is worthy of this
Country, and we sincerely hope, that it will be
zealously patronized. During the horrors of the
French Revolution, Great Britain was the general
Asylum of those persecuted People who were
driven from their own Country by the fear
of death ; and, %bile we adminster due

to our own Countrymen who may require it, let
us still maintain our character for humanity, by
generously succouring nur fellow•creatures of
every description, and we.sball be amply rewarded
by our own feelings, as well as by increasing tiro
respect of mankind for our National Character.

We have inserted the extraordinary Letter froul

because, though we essentially differ with him in
political principles, and have viewed aril h our,.

upon several occasions, yet as he seems to bays
brought forward a cotnpl►rint of the neglect of cero

ceive it to be our'dioy to submit it to general et.

wl;ile he was complaining of the negligence
of others in the discharge of their duty, be

as to require repeated calls to attend oil

an occasion of much importance. But it i 5
impossible not to look with increased respect
on the RECORDER, for the spirit, firmness, and
decision wi►ich marked his conduct in the matter
and if the complains of Mr. Sheriff PartKlN6
ate really well founded, we have no doubt dial
tl►is uptight LtECORDRR, who does honour to 04
country, will, either by private remonstrance
or public reproof, prevent any repetition of
neglect which is certainly entitled to attentive
from whatever quarter it might proceed.
