On Tuesday last, during The sitting of
the Supreme Court, Sheriff Chandler
notified the Court that he had good
reason to apprehend from the move
ment OF the insurgents in the North
East part Of the country, that an at
tempt would be made to rescue Nathan
Bario7v, one Of the Insurgents, who
was in Gaol. The Court directed
the Sheriff to do his duty. General
Chandler Immediately called out the
militia, composed Of Capt. Eastman's
company Of cavalry, Capt. Vose's light
infantry, and part of Captains Thomas
and Shubel Pitts companies, together
with corps Of volunteers, in which
several Of the gentlemen Of the bar en-
tered the list. This precautionary
measure frustrated the designs Of these
deluded people. Thus much for the
vote-gathering proclamation. It is
however 10 be observed that the think
ing part Of these dlscontents are fast

capt Jolly, and the Brutus, capt. Domin
ique, who took possession Of the ship, be-
cause, as they pretended, she had English
manufactured goods on board, and had been
boarded by an English priyateer The Pol
IN was also taken in possession, and detain-
ed about "a hours. After pluRdering her of
every thing they thought Of any value, and
taking FIVE or six negroes cut Of her, they
suffered her to proceed on her voyage. The
5th, the captains Of the priyateers came on
board the ship, with about 40 men, & broke
open the matches, and took all the goods out
Of her, which they put ON board the priva-
teers-The same day they took the mates
and seamen out, and left on board prize
master, pilot, and sixteen men, and ordered
her for port IN the island of Cuba, where
they arrived on the 9Th, al an uninhabited
place; they informed them, the nearest
town was about IS miles of, which they
called St. Juan. After this, they took the
remainder Of her cargo out, and stripped
her nj All her best rigging, the whole Of the

Of Mr. Hargrave." .EAcyc'ep. Ar. Cotsca.
The distinction at present in general use is, that
n jesny is Spinning machine that works by hand,
and NIUE, by water. il is practicabc tierc-
fore to- introduce .jenairs into every part ofVir-
g;n;a--A jenny with 90 or 70 Spindles and a
ca,ding machine, for cotton. will not certainly
cost more than S or 600S Indeed have late
~ seen the price of Jenny Estimated ut 100 dol
lars The carding machine viii not cost us much.
My proposition is, that an association at least
SHALL be formed in each county at Virginia, for
establishing one two jennies and caitling ma.
chimes. They can be easily purchased at first in
Rhode Island, Phadelphia, &c. but the de-
maud for them will quickly produce artists.
The art of weaving has not certainly kept pace
with those of carding and spinning. No very
important lasour-saving machines have been IN
vented for am still a sceptic us t. the virtues
of the wonder-werkirg looms OF Nj. Austin
Even Sir II. Arkwright himself would doubt ;

was has faith in the power OF machines, that he
dared the conjecture, that the time would come
when hock of wool would be thrown irto
part of the machinery and would come out broad
cloth from another. The age, however, is net
ripe for these wonders
Such being the disproportion between the inn
provements of the arts of c;IVng and spinning,
and that of weaving, it is rather source of as
constituent that the inhabitants Of the country
should conceive the least jealousy at the manu-
featuring association at this city. This institute
on will help, rather than hurt them. They will
have their cotton and wool cardsd and spun uE-
nitcly cheaper, and their looms will of course be
facilitated i'll their operations.-As to looms, L
have also one proposition to submit to the wea-
vers of the country. Let them immediately have
their looms adjusted a the shuttle. The.
whole expence will scarcely exceed one dollar.

Queries Communicated.

1. Having roneof those pretexts to inter-
fere with the affairs Of Spain, which he has
always derived from the previous inrerpo-
stion OF England, has not bonaparte To-
mented discord in the Royal family, that
he might first become their umpire. and
afterwards their acknowledged sovereign
!. 2. Has he not held out to the King and
Prince secret oncourageinents, as ifhe,wc,e
going to aid each of them. with the view of
getting both into his power?
3. Did not Bonaparte dccov the King and
Prince, and lnf.ntes. of Spain into his pos
session, to keep either of them from going
to Spanish >. America, and erecting there
the banners ofan independent Empire!
4. Has not England ruined the cause of
the Junto, by furnishing Bonaparte with new
pretexts to arouse the fury of his army? and
ruined the prosperity of that country, bv fur
nishing him with new inducements to rivet
his letters upon themh -
s. Though the French have gained most
by the wars of the revolution, the English
too have made acquisitions: Ceylon, Trina
dad, Cape of good Hope, Malta and Sicily
&c. is it not their plan to make as much
out of Spain they can9 to get possession
of her American colonies,
6. What is to be the fate of these and of
the Floridasl IF they were now governed by
men of genins and popularity, would any
crisis be more proptious for making S. A.
independent But are MT these men des-
titute of those qualifications, Were they
not put into power from intrigue alone
and will they not lose their power because
they were the tools of the fallen Prince of
Peace! viii these colonies declare for Fer
