SCARCITY.

We have takeu.all possible pains to
ASCERTAIN whether the prediction of an
in.miuent scarcity had any Foundation
10 the appearance Of the growing
crops, or in the proportion Of the stock
on hand, and our necessary conclu-
sions are, that scarcity is really to be
apprs hended, that the stock on hand
is very inefficient, and the growing
crups win, according TO all present
appearances, be deficient one third.
How is this deficiency to be made ups
Corn is so great a proportion Of the
food Of the country, tl.at a question
upen deficiency OF corn is question
for providing against famine.
Where the usual portion OF food Is
wanting, there are but two possible
remedfes--the first is, by adiElinished
consumption---the second is, by find
inc substitutes IN another kind Of food
fcf ttst part ofour ordinary food which
IL deficient.
With respect TO the first, in an opu-
lent community, and in times OF album
dance, there is always great por-
ton OF waste as much almost is
wasted as Is eaten, and more eaten than
Is accessory. There is another species
of waste, moreover, which amounts
nearly TO one third Of the whole
substance; this is, that Of using f.
ner kind, and thereby wasting or az
least uotemployingin human iood what
issitted from it. Now, 10 these two
heads Of waste, that OF the quantity,
and'that Ct the kind, there IL certainly
rr'su Tor . great savings saving per-
hap, w.Scb, II properly and univcr.
sally ca ed and attended TO, wosld
not fall much short Of the deficiency.
There Is third head OF general.
saving, the beueii OF which was much
experienced duri1a the last scarcity.
This is that OF PROHIBITING the bakers,

THE SCARCITY OF CORN.

Since mentioned this subject be-,
fore, I have seen more and heard
more, relative. 20 it; and, every thing
that have seen, or heard, tends 10
confirm me in the opinion, that the
sropJ of wheat will be short beyond.
alrexample. I still think, that it will
not be half so great as the last years
&rrop; and, should not at all wonder
10 see it forty or fifty pounds'a load
20 bushels even though Bonapafte
Should suffer us to get all we can
from the continent of Europe; and,
if he should put stop to.all exporta-
ton of corn, the price must be enor-
nous, and the consequences may be
fatal. The short crop Of grass will
greatly add to the calamity for the
scarcity Of hay must necessarily COM
pei people TO keep horses more upon
oats, and that will cause another di-
minutiop III the food of man. From
the long continued drought, there is
alikelihood that fodder Wilde scarce,
Cattle are every where selling at re-
duced prices. Every one seems to
wish to get rid of mouths. The con-
sequence of this,will. be, that meat win
be comparatively cheap for little
while, ard, in winter excessively
dear. 1t is nonsense to say, that the
wheat has mended. 1t cannot mend,
where there is none upon The ground !;
and that it is SO generally the case
as to make the prospect truly alarm
ing. Some people comfort themselves
with thu prospect of creating
from America. America never did,
and never can, give us any very
large supply and besides, wheat is
now ten shillings bushelin America,
and of course, it could not reach US
under about forty pounds load.
Sothat, at this moment, wheat, brought
from America, must, in order to an
swer the purpose OF the importer, be
sold much dearer than wheat is now
syliing here. From America, then,
notbiag OF any consequence can be
expected; and the only question is,
whether Bonaparte will or will not,
permit corn from the Baltic to Eng
land; if The former, the, price may,
possibly, be kept little down; but, if
he does not permis us to get corn from
the Baltic, my sincere opinion is, that
wheat will be thirty shillings bushel,
and the quartern loaf half crown,
before Christmas lend certainly, that
let what will take place as to impor.
tasion. meat will be exceedingly dear.
"Forewarned, forearmed," they say {:
but, The only armirg that can avail
US in "a case ike this is that of patience.
For, as to " substitutes, and making
coarse -four, and the like, they are Of
no use at al. The evil is deficiency
in the quantity of food, taking all sorts
togetbrr; and for this there is really
no other remedy than that of doing
with less food than usual, until a more
abundant supply can be obtained.

It's first article is-That whatever

know what these terms mean in the

hemisphere from the disasters
:" which have nearly overwhelmed

Third--That this system of British
policy is to be carried into effect by
the joint concert, and now openly a.

British faction, who in the Jacksoni-
