Now let us see whether the evils Of this
pernicious system ofpretended economies,
BY which such deadly blow has been ST.

and such a gfievous loss and disgrace has
been sustained at Tripoli, are counterbal-
anced by any saIutary effects ola peculliary

First, let it be observed that all the time
the inconsiderate part of the people were
giving credit to our executive cabinet for
reduction Of taxes, that cabinet was actual

defenceless passenger. No unfortunate
woman can complain that he has robbed
her of her invaluable fame, and clouded the
sunshine Of her future days. The feelings
which this man is apt to excite, are mark
ed with contempt rather than horror. We
despise the man whose actions will not bare
the inspection of others. !.
Our imagination draws before us hui
man being stealing into some secret recess,
fearful that each sound which disturbs his
privacy is announcing the approach of a
companion. Wepursue him into the world.
and see him completing the object Of all his
solitary labors by the most disgraceful inn
posture. We see him appropriating the
fruit fthis imposture, not to some useful
purpose whose consequences may atone fer
the profigacy Of the means used for its at
talnment, but dissipating it in thoughtless
amusement or still more proAigate vices.
It's not from the feelings, however, which
this mans personal conduct produces, that
We are to justify his condemnation. We
, must take longer view of the consequen-
ces of his conduct. We must consider that
the wealth OF every country arises from its
labor; that the laborer will not exert his
industry without the-prospect of present or
future remuneraties, that hence capital
and credit are the two great pillars of natl
onal wealth: We must consider that the
credit OF banks is grand substitute for the
credit OF individuals; and that hence the
counterfeiter Who weakens the credit re-
posed IN bank must be regarded not so
much as robber, who appropriates to him.

ROUGES ESCAPED.

An Amherst paper of June 9Th, states
that on the previous Wednesday night, the
prisoners confined in the Goal Of that town
tor making counterfeit money made their
escape. The doors were unlocked by
some person from without and left open,
and were found in this situation by the goa
Ter the next morning.
Their escape had undoubtedly for some
time been premeditated, as several of them
leftmanuscripts behind them, of taunring
threatening nature. Among other threats
OF their file leader, the noted Timothy Cal,
was one, that they would g soon be in a
situation to furnish the public with thou
sands, and perhaps millions" of the genu-
Inc paper money.
A pewter key which was used in unlock
ing the outer door, was found few reds
from the goal between that and the bridge
below the prison.

READING, June 9.

Last Monday afternoon this borough and
lneighbourhood experienced two violent
storms, at an hours interval, attended
with very heavy rain and hail, which in
their course caused very severe damages,
laying waste gardens, grain fields and TIM
ber-helds likely to produce three or four
hundred bushels were quite cut down, SO
that hardly a straw was left standing. It's
exteat, as far as we could learn, was about
mile in breadth and reached or miles
below this place. along the east side of.
Schuvlkill. The second storm from the n.
E. laid waste number Of very valuable
grainEeld along the west side of Schuyl-
kill. Some of the ice pieces were square
and measured FIVE inches round, and hail
lay in some places so thick that they could
be taken up by the half bushel. Thus, in
the coarse of a very little time dwindled
away one of the finest prospects of plentiful
harvests this part Of the country ever be-
held!

HAMBURGER, June %.

We learn from Hanover under date OF the
10th, that field MARTIAL Bernadotte is arrived
there, and has received the congratulations of
the executive commifiion, and the French gene
raj officers. The former Immediately delivered
to him memorial containing a furvey of the
Prefent fituation of the unhappy electorate and
its finances. The French troops there are fill
in arrears of pay for 100000 francs.
The exchange of couriers from Paris to Hol-
land, Hanover, ard Berlin, continues with I'M
abated rapidity, and feversl corps of troops are
about to be put in motion though their deftina-
lion is not known.
General Moreau with the ref of the confpira-
tors, is now again confined in the Temple, and
the rumor of his having returned to his coun-
try feat at Grofbois, or of having had an inter-
view with Bonaparte at St. Cloud, was without
foundation-Mo himfelf and all the con-
demned, have applied for reviGon of their
fentence to the Court of Cailation, and after the
deciioD of the latter fhall be known, the act of
condemnation will be publifhed in due juridical
form, with fuch mitigations as it may under

The news of general Acton's having loft his

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

II is well known, that cotton has been, for
long time pait, fent from BOMBAY to CHINA,
where It is manufactured in immenfe quantities
In late years it has been fhipped from Bengal to
Canton, and it is probable that Englifh policy
will endeavour to extend this commerce.-The
Chineie find it more for their intereft to pay for
Cotton OF foreign growth, than TO devote their
lands toits cultivation, and the experience of the
aft 5 or 90 years has confirmed them in purii-
ing practice to which it is faid they were once
compelled TO refort, from the dreadful, cGretqs
of a famine which happened among them, in
confequence of a neglect in rafting regular flp-
ply of rice, 70 necehary an article Of food in all
parts of the EAT.
In the Canton market it is prefumed we may
find ready fale for all the portion of our cotton
which England does not want. The quality of
what is called Upland Cotton is fiippofed to be
hyperion TO the beft from Bombay or Surat. In
time of war, the India Cotton cannot be fold in
China much under eighteen or twenty cents per
pound, AS 1t is then fubeGt to high freight and
pturance, when fhipped on EnglifE1 bottoms.
rs the Engliih by Mr.. jays treaty, had lecured
the carriage of cotton from India to China,
with all other articles from their fettlements, i'm
the direct courfe to every part ofthe world, the
United States excepted) this trade has been al
mof cycluhvely in their hands, and we have feen
our merchants driven to the neceliity ofexport-
ing hard money as the only means through
which the United States could be fupplied with
NaakiqJ and 7eaJ, which are now 70 generally
ufed by the people of this couptry--while the
EngIifh pay for theirs chiefly in cotton and
other articles from India, and in manufactures
from England. 1t is true England tends out fome
pecle by the annual feet to China, yet the guam
tity is known to have been very uncomfortable
OF late years but one fact relative to this trade
IS worthy of being mentioned. II was only a
few months 6nce one of their China or India
ihips, (the Sir Edward Hughes) touched at New
York aud Norfolk, and took away near million
of dollars, the greater part of which was the
