INTERESTING CIRCULAR.

LIVERPOOL, July 1, 1909.
Notwithstanding the h.avy supplies which
have been received during the last weeks,
cur market has, in several instances, very
percep,ibly improved. This event is the
more gratifying, in as much as it was I'M
expected, for the prevailing impression, at
the fist appearance of your vessels, was,
hat a further reduction would ensue, be-
lore any revival could be reasonably ex-
pected. The market was unqueslionahlv
very bare OF American produce, and as the
prices had fallen to standard, compara-
lively low, the dealers ard consumers were
induced, from these circumstances, to pur-
chase very freely. Sales, to large extent,
have, consequently, been effected, as many
of the holders were, at the same time, anx-
ious, by availing themselves of the existing
disposition, to guard against that reverse,
which the heavy supplies, daily expected,
might be calculated to produce. This
extensive demand, combined with
temporary suspension OF any very consi-
derable imports, appear to us the principal
causes to which this favorable change may
be ascribed. 1t is also deserving of atten-
ton, that, owing to the great number of
ships now in pors and the consequent diff
cultles in discharging, much Of the produce
which has arrived, is not yet actually in the
market. Hence it is supposed by some,
that the Improvement which we have no.
ticed will not be permanent, ard that, as
soon as the dealers have acquired tolera-
bic supply, the present demand will in some
degrees naturally subside, while the i'm
ports continue unrestrained. On the other
hand, it may be expected that the arrivals
come forward in amore regu-
lar succession, and although, in given Pc
Rod, the aggregate of The supplies may be

MORAL ESSAY.
EsSAT LON ANGER,
AND THE FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES.
MORAL ESSAY.

AS the feelings and the consequences of
ANGER are painful, and often dangerous, we
ought, in our cooler moments, to for,ify the
mind, or mollify it, By habits Of Just reaec-
ton, so as to be i@ss irritated by impressions
of injury, and to be sooner paci6ed when
we receive an insult.
To this end the following reflections may
be useful The possibility of mistaking
the motives from which the conduct that
ofends US may have proceeded how often
our GUN offences nave been the mere effect
of inadyertency, when they wei. construed
by others into indications of malice, or of
some design more or less eulpable or con-
temptible the inducement which may have
prompted our adversary to act as he did,
and how powerfully the same inducement
may, at one time or other, have operated
on oursefves; that perhaps he is suffering
under contrition, which a false shame, or a
want of opportunity prevents him from con-
tossing; and how uneencrous it is to tri-
ump.t, by coler.css or insult, over spirit
already humbl@d in secret by the contrite
workings of self reproach, pang too FIRE.
quen,ly felt by the most generous and the
most manly bosoms that the returns Of
kindness are sweet, and that there is neither
honor, nor virtue, nor use in resisting the
kindly impulse fer tits piteous to think
how some persons imagine the n,selves bound
TO cherish and keep alive their resentment,
when they find ii dying away Of itself. We
should remember that others have their pas
sons, their prejudices, their favolne aims,
their fears, their suspicious, their cautions,
their interests, their sudden impulses, their
varieties of apprehension, as we'll as we
recolect what hath sometimes pass, & in our
own minds, when We have got on the wrong
side OF quarrel, and imagine the same to
be passing in our adversary's mind now -
when we became sensible of our misbeha-
viour, hat palIiations We perceived in it,
arG expected others to perceive; how We
were affected with the kindness, and felt
the superiority of a generous reception and
a ready forgiveness; how persecution, on
the other hand, revived our spirits with our
enmity, and seemed to Justify the conduct
which we before blamed in ourselves. Add
10 these humane considerations others more
immediately relating to our own worldly
welfare; how anger, while it lasts, renders
US the scorn or sport of all about US, OF
which it leaves us, when it ctasss, f ssn n
sible and ash .~>- :, , -
""l. auItffieVablc misconduct Into which our
-irrascihillty has sometimes betrayed US, the
friendship it has lost us, the distresses and

SIR, rtre
Your eleventh question will give an oppor-
tunity of making some observations upon
subject that is quite misunderstood 10 every
part OF Europe. I shall answer It with great
pleasure, according to the best OF my nior.
mation, and with the utmost candour
The question is, " How great is the pre-
sent debt of America What has she occa-
sion for yearly to act Jefcnsivcly Are
those wants supplied by the inhabitants them
selves, or by other nations II in the latter
case, what does America lose Of hcs strength
by IL! Are they not, in one manner or 9th
er, recompensed again by some equivalent
advantage If 50, in what manner What
would be required 10 act extensively, and by
that means shorten the war |!
All Europe has mistaken apprehension
of the present debt of America. This debt
!, Of two sorts that which is due from the
Thirteen United States, in Congress assem-
b,cd ami. that which is owing from each OF
the Thirteen States in it, separate capacity.
ara not sbic 10 say with precision what the
debt Of each separate State, is but all these
added together, EaII far short Of the debt OF
the UniEd States.
The debt of the United States consists OF
three branches .. The sums which have
been lent them by France and Spain, anc by
MIR. Bcaumarchxis and Company these
have hccn for purchasing some supphcs o.
cannon, arms, ammunition, and cioatning 70, |,
the troops for assisting prisoners escaPee
from England and for some other Pu'I'o
scs but the whole sum amounts TO no grca
thing ...-,

are promissory notes given to individuals y

payment Of the principal and interest Ines
