OF Lords passed several resolutions repre-
bending the conduct of Palm IN very severe
terms, I" declaring their utmost abhorrence
OF this audacious manner of appealing to
the people ;" and voted an address TO
George the first, assuring him that the
parliament would stand by and support
him against the disturbers of the public
tranquility, as well as against those who
battered themselves with hopes g that an
obstinate perseverance IN their destructive
measures could stagger the firmness of the
British nation IN the defence of their rights
and privileges" The circumstances of
this case viii be found recorded IN the Jour
mails of the proceedings of the House OF
Commons for the year l726, Il period at
which the English parliament was more
legitimate organ of the feelings and sem
tlmeuts of their fellow subjects than "a,
present. The Lords and Commons both
viewed the case in it's true light, the in
suit thus offered to the executive branch
of the government, was, an reality, an in
suit TO the whole empire, and every per-
son who respected the constitution of the
country was bound TO repel it. The doc
trlne of ministerial appeals to the people
has never been popular in the u. States,
Genet tried the experiment, and met with
nothing but indignant Contempt from the
citizens of America. HUME.

pendent in Baltimore, contains very in

fellow-ctizens of this and the neighbour

GEHTLEMEN,-Fromt the information of
an intelligent traveller, who, at different
times, has visited several parts of your
state, have reason to believe it may be
gratifying to you to hear the opportunity is
now afforded you, or any of your sEiends
whose interest they may think likely ITO be
promoted by it, to purchase FIVE distinct
patent rights, most, if not all, of which,
seem peculiarly adapted to promote the
commercial interests of your state. The
hrst IS Single and Nail Cutting Ma.
chine, Which, with the Iabour of TWO men,
and the blocks ready sawed, is expected
to deliver from 10 to Is, 600 shingles ner
day---it can be also applied to splitting bar
rel and hogshead slaves This machine.
by slight variation of its parts, and the
addition OF furnace to neat the iron,
may, with equal success, be applied to
cutting nails. The second is Planning
Mill, which, with the labour of two men &
boy, Joined to four OK power, 10 ex.
pected to plain up from 10 to Is 900 square
feet OF pine plank per day. The construc-
ton of TINS mill is solid, simple, and by no
means complicated or difficult to be car.

buildings that cover it, may, l thiaS. p.
mount to S 1000 perhaps less. according

admixture Of salt. The fifth is an impro-
we'd mode of conducting distilling ope rsti..
ons, by which the whole operation from
First to last, will be conducted in the still
itself, so that whea the fermentation has
arrived at its highest point of maturity,
from two TO seven stills can be started by
one hre, without danger of wasting or
dispensing the alcohol Gas is now done in
the common way by stopping and pumping
from one vessel to aRother) and thus o..
tain the greatest possible quantity of pure,
strong spirit from given quantity Of low
wines. The form of these stills will be
different from those in common use, form
ing the section of a cylinder much more
broad and nigh, so as TO admit the steam
being raised in the greatest possible guam
tiy. These stills win be made of castliron
instead of copper, by which it is compu-
ted that tour-hiths of the first cost will be
saved. Each still can have double bot.
