ii on Of his papers, it has been determined
to do so, and that legal investigation shall
take place.
S. That as the public discomfort. appears
to arise in great measure from the reserve
with which intelligence of public events has
hitherto been comm unicated, measures shall
be taken to satisfy the people on that SUBJ
ject, by Announcing whatever may occur
with the greatest punctuality and attention.
6. Lastly, that the enistments ofthe IN

dad Rodrigo shall cease, until, after con-
sulting he supreme authority suitable
mea sures are taken to garrison and defend
this place; for which purpose the distin-
guished volunteers, the light troops, and the
companies of artillery, shall remain, and
shall not leave it, declaring that the reports
spread by malevolence that it is intended to
disarn them, or to send them to the army,
are absolutely false.
And that this may be known to and sa-
tisfy the public, and that the confidence due

disturbance cease, and tranquility reigns

ordered that these presents be posted up in

HAVE invented machine called
VAea. Rubber, for which obtained patent
on the first day of this month. This machine
may be seen in operation in the mill of Ma
thaniel Ellicott, Occoqaany Those millers
who feel an interest in Investigating its me-
rit and have not an opportunity of visiting
Occoouan, may be fully informed by appIi-
cation to Mr. Ellcott by letter. My Uheat-
Rubber, do verify believe is upon entire
new principles, the cost of erecting it a tri-
Re, the materils Of. which it IS cmposed ca
sily attainable in any part of our country, and
the plan simple in the extreme: any work.,
manof common capacity will be enabled to-
erectiu from description only, Practical mil
lers know, that in great proportion of the
wheat that comes TO market from the man
ner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers
and exposed to the. weatherl number of
sprouted and unsound grains mingle with
the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity
ofthe miller to- separate it from tie sound
erain-they also know those unsound grains
iniure materially the, taste iand-color OF -four
my machine not only. frees the wheat of
stone, onion, cookie, dirt, &c. but does abso-
lutely take from it every unsound grain, from
what cause soeyer it may have been injured,
as my machine will not let any unsound
wheat pass it-millers may have their screen
wire much finer than hitherto used, and
thereby save considerably-it will also be
found that the grain in passing the rubber, is
polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat
IS picked perfectly clean Of dust or dirt.
Some instances having occurred ofcertifcates
being obtained, saying much more in favor
Of a new invention than the public are willing
to admit after trial. hope it will be suffi-
:cient apology formy taking different course.
MY price for the privilege of using the rub
Der is fifty dollars for each prir Of wheat
