A gentleman of Henly-on- Thames
offered farmer, when at that market,
dinner and bottle of wine, if he would
bring him grain of wheat on the fol-
lowing market day, and double the
quantity each week, until that day
twelvemonth. This was acceded TO for
the moment; but the following state
ment will perhaps satisfy those who
have never entered into similar calcula-
tons, of the impossibility of fulfilling
such an engagement.--Amount of the
number of grains, 4,5O3, 599, 627,3 &c.,

Haytl.-We have received papers from
Fort au Prince to February 18th. The
Propagateur Of that date contains long
d interesting essay on the situation and
prospects of Hayt; and on the subject
OF the feelings of the inhabitants with
regard to foreign invasion, makes the
following remarks:
6 An impartial stranger travelling in
our island cannot fail to perceive, that
the idea of French invasion has never
agllated one Of our inhabitants. He must
have observed, that if they ever speak
of 1t, it is with Indifference, and as an
event for which they are always pre-
pared: he never hears a native say
either that he will yield to Frenchman.
or that he should wish to leave his coun-
try before they arrive. On the contra
ry, those who are absent ardently desire
to be On the spot. They all know that
if their country should be subjugated,
they could find safety nowhere; that thew
would be prosecuted, as they would de-
serve to be, if they did not defend their
natye SOIL.
"In the mean time, while the threat
of an invasion is not put in execution,
the people of Hayti will ever continue
to give the most satisfactory proofs of
their ardent desire to merit the esteem
and consideration of other civilized ma
tons. The education of the Haytien
youth is al once civil, moral, religious
and military. Public instruction is ex-
tended TO all the towns in our territory.
and the numerous pupils they contain will
do honour to their country. Agriculture
is encouraged, and the harvests are more
abundant than they were a few years
ago, and give the hattering hope that
they will soon equal those Of the last
century. The arts and sciences are cult
waited from one extremity ofthe island to
the other; the army is on the best war
footing and in the finest order-union,
concord, peace and harmony, prevail in
every part

Camomile is an herb in garden that grows.
An Onions plant which offends every nose
A Nod may sometimes he construed as consent,

And Rock is fish, well to epicures known.
A desire to wanton in pleasure, or not,
Undesir'd becomes when the wish is forgot:

Mr.. BAILEY, OF Mass. offered the following re-
soutons:
HeSoluea, That the construction oil Roads and
Canals Is highly important to The Union, strength,
and general prosperity of the United States
ReSotred, That since he individual States Of
his Unon nave relInquished to the General Gov
efnmen the control OF he most easy and efficient
means OF raising revenue it Is fit that portion oG
he general revenue, If consistent with the Consti-
tuition, should be appropriated 10 this important
objec..
HeS0tued, That, while large portion of the
feopie and OF their Representatives in Congress.
b leve such appropriations 20 be inconsistent with
tie Constitutional poe of Congress, an obstacle
Is presented 10 the accomplishment of the object,
which joined o the divcrsities of opinion always
existing IN reia ion to the expedIencg of specific
measures, threatens 10 be deeply injurious. if moi
atal, TO that vigorous and full development of our
resources which the interests OF the Union loudly
demand.
ReSoired, That system which should leave to
The several States the expenditure of money appro-
prIated to this object by The United States would
ensure more equal participation in the bounty by
the sey eral Sta'es, more economy in its disbIrse-
men, more freedom from sectional feelings, and in
curious compromises IN legislation, g. more promp-
'ltude IN commencing works of Improvement, for
the compile ion oil which the several States would
he secure OF possessing The means
ReSOiUed, That the several States ought to bava
the power TO expend money so appropriated, in
improving river and coast navigation, and in pro-
noting education, colonization, and the liberal and
useful arts, whenever, in their opinion, its expen-
diiure for these objects would be more useful than
IN constructing roads and canals
ResoiUed That Congress ought to have power
to make surveys Of coasts. rivers, and road and
canal routes, TO aid the States in selecting those
OBJECTS oil improvement which may most ehectualiy
contribute TO the good Of the whole
ResotDed, That Congress ought 10 have power
TO construct roads and canals, whenever they shall
be wanted for urgent purposes Of military, COM
mercial, or mail communication
ResOl0ed, That Congress ought to have power
TO establish National University, on a plan which
shall secure to each State just portion Of its adj
yantages.
ReSoIpcS, That Congress ought 10 have power
TO oier and distribute prizes for promoting sgrcul-
tuTe' education, sciece, and the liberal and useful
arts; thus, by small annual expense stimulating
genius and industry to the greatest and most useful
eKeuions: Therefore,
ResoiUed by the Senate and House OF Repre-
