en- from their habitual employments they
must starve, or become a charge upon the
nation. But, sir, the conversion Of fifty
thousand productive, into fifty thousand I'M
productive, and even expensive, laboIers,
could not contribute much 70 the wealth or
power OF any nation and such an operation
in Great Britain, when the poor rates are
suficietly high already, would command the
serious attention of>the government.
There is something essential to the ply
steal power Of nation, besides the numbers
of seamen and soldiers. 1t is money-iti is
revenue. This operation upon labor, could
not be productive of revenue, but would be
an enormous charge upon it. / am there
fore inclined to think that the British cabai-
net would not feel any great obligation TO
the gentleman for his ingenious discovery.
AL these considerations must present strong
inducements to G. B. to revoke her hos
tile orders but she has hithertotefu TO

He has recently received an injury on the fore

He has variety of cloaths, and took with

falcons with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and

rest of his apparel am not able particularly
to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and
pays great attention to his dress.
