This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

that in fuch a rapid Succeflion at muft a[lonil]i the moft inu-
tcntive Obferver. Ha^ Ing felt it our Duty to rolate with Fi-
delity thcfe melancholy £vcn:s as they have arifen ; we took
to the Great DifpoTer gf Events, in humble hope that the
ftepaX Mercies which have hitherto attended this favoured
^UQtry, may long be continued to it. Happily prefen'cd
by our Infular Situation froin the more immediate Scene of
War; may we be truly ^nlible of the BleiQng; and may our
ioe&imable Conflitution long remain impregnable to the Ac-
tacks of every Alfailant, and be tranfinitced inviolate to the
latcft Poflerity t Wilhing moft rmcercly to. draw a Veil over
whatever might tend to keep open DiiTentions wliich we hope
arc now for ever clofed ; it w;U Ii- fuiEcient to recall to R--
culleiSi9n the Lxceilcnes ol our Lnws, ;uid rlie I'urity v.k\\
wbicii they are adminlltcrcd. — The Keader vv:!i pardon this
Kffufion, not wliolly undigrellive.
To puf numerous and very Ifaincd Correfpondents wc have
to pay thofe Thanks which their own ingenuous Hearts v/ilL
diftate to them in the warmcil Terms, without over-rann^ .
our Sentiments. To them alone it is owing that the Gen-
tleman'* Magazine has fo long prefrrved its Literury Re-
pmatiou. Their Contributions unite to form an Aggic^sw
iv PREFACE.
•
of Entertainment and Inftruftion. With Pride and Pleafurt
wc look round co fome of the brighteft Ornaments of Church
and State— i-to the Bar, the Pulpit, and the Senate — and fee
in every Department Names of the firft Diflindtion who have
Xent their early Shafts from our Ulyffes^s Bozv. And it i^ with
confcious SatisfaAion we reflect that, whenever the Impetuo-
fity of Controverfy has led our Correfpondents to a greater
De'gree of Warmth than cooler Prudence may have fuggefted^
our Columns have ever been open to the Vindication ot every
Perfon who has thought himfelf aggrieved; and in fome
Cafes even to an Infertion of a diredk Attack upon our-
selves. Let this, however, be a Hint to our Friends, not to
indulge too freely in the Satiric Vein. We wi(h to hold out
an Olive-branch both in Literature and Politicks ; and that
an Armiftice may take Place in the Territories of Mr. Urbah^
even if it Ihould fail on the Continent of Europe.
In one Department of our Mifcellany it is not arrogant to
aflert that we (land unrivalled. The Obituary forms a Body
of Biography, which Poderity will look back to with a Satis-
faction which any one may conceive who for a moment con-^
liders the Defers of (imilar Annals in preceding Periods. In
this Branch of our Labours, we have to acknowledge the Af-
(iftance of many Friends. At the fa^ie Time we requeft thofe
who in future may be inclined to favour us with Intelligence
of this kind to cbr.fine themfelves in general to Dates and
Fadts, and to avoid expatiating on that which, arifing from
Circumftances of private Knowledge, or a local Nature, may
ferve equally for Thoufands, as the favourite Individual to
whom it is promifcuoufly applied.
The mo(l difficult Part ot our Taft remains; an Apology
to thofe who may feel hurt at their Productions not appearing
in Print. To fuch we can only fay, that, in Cafes where
Articles are wholly improper^ we regularly point them out ;
but that all others are intended to be ufcd, till the Prefs of
frclh Correfpondence becomes fo great, that, large and crowd-
ed as our Pages are, and fmall as is our Type, we are ofttfn un-
able to find Koom for what we eftcem truly valuable. We have,
therefore, to requeft Indulgence on this Head ; and to beg
that our Friends will be as concife as the SubjeA will admits
and avoid, wherever they can, fuperfluous Controverfy. We
confider ourfelves as Caterers for the Publick; and wifhing, to
the bed of our Abilities, to furni(h them with Inftru£tion and
Delight, we truft they will give us Credit for endeavouring at
leaft to peiform our Tafk with Impartiality, and with (omc
^fihc Advaatagci obtained from long Experience.

nearly fo, of any fpriogs of water : it

c.louds for the fuppiy of this ctfential
fluid, whch IS preserved in calks or

ever, the difeafe was not le(s f^tal than
at Grenada, both among liie inhahu^nts
and the Teamen. Whcrwer the dtfcaie
appeared, it fpread r^tpi'lly, whether

It is evident, from the beft iiiform-

from Piiiladelptiia, and from the accu*

Ne^th Abbey in Glamorganfliire AfcriM.
[Jam
The church confined of a n«vc, about
two hundred »nd leo feet long, and
Axty-fix wide, with a crofi-aile, about
ene huVred and fifty feet long, and
fifty-four wide; a large tower in the
centre, and two light turrets at the
\Ve(l end; a good part of the latter,
with the winding (laircafe in each, dill
remain. The (he- 1 of the abbot's houfc
is entire, and includes feverjil fpacious
rooms, the larg^ft of which is ih^ rc-
feftory (now called the great bal')» ^^
in^ feventy feet in length, and thirtjr
feet wide, with a vaulted done roofi
fupporied by a row of plain columns,
running Jenthways throagh the middle
of the room.
Leiand in hit Itinerary calls Neath
" the faire(l abbey of all Wales :" but
in his Coiledanea he it inclined to givt
Margam the preference.
It continued until the freneral di(To-
]utioa of religious houfes, when its
annual revenues were eftimated at
13 s/. 7/. 7e/|. according to Dugdale, but
Speed Dates th%Ri at 150/. 45. 9^. This
TaluatioD mtt(V have been very low even
at that time, (inee the demeine itfelf is
of a confiderible extent, and formerly
there were feveral detachecf eflaies be*
Jongin^to the monaftery, which are Hoc
held with it now, fonnc in the neigh-
bourhood, and others in the different
pariflies of Llaodilo-taUy-bont, Oyfter-
xnoQth LUnridian, Penmain, Porte**
non, and LUndewi, inOower, all with-
in^ the county of Glamorgan.
It was granted 33d of Henry Vllf. to
Sir Richard Willia:ns, alias Cromwell,
grcar-gr. nd- father to the Proteftor. Wc
l)nd it afterwards in the poflfeirion of the
Heibci rs ; from whoai it was transferred
to Si! William D^Jingtcn, of Brey-
more, in the county of Southampton,
knt. by his marriage with Mary, the
daughter of Sr John Herbert, Knt.
fccrtrarv of ftate ro Queen Elizabeth,
and .R' phew to William earl of Pem-
broke. Edward DoJin^ton, efq fon
of the laid Sir Williiim Dodington, gave
it to his nephew Philip Hobby, efq.
fourth fon of Peregrine Hobby, efq. of
Byfljeo, i« the county of litiks, who
r<^lidcd a the abbey until his death, a;)d
I'o did his reli6t Elizabeth Hobby,
daughter of Sir Timothy Tirrell of
Shottover, in the county of Oxfprd,
knt« and grand-daughter of the 'earned
Archbilh'p Uflier. At Mrs. Hobby't
denh the houfc was deferred Uiid I'uf-
fercd CO fall todcciy.
Philip Hobby, efq. the laft fole pro«
prietor, died A. D. 1678^ leaviag three
daughrert co-heirrfles, Elizabeth, Ca-
tharine, and Anne— the el deft of whom,
Elizabeth, married Henry Com pton, efq*
of Biflern, Haots; Catharin6 iharried
Griffith Rice, Efq. of Newtoa, ia the
count V of Carmarthen i and Anne mar-
ried Mr. Stanley, grand* fat her of tbo'
late Hans Stanley, t(<\. The prefenc
proprietors are Lord Dincvor».« lineal
defcendant of the f^id Griffith ftice,
efq. John Compton, efq. the righ^
hon. Welbore Ellis, and CbriSo*
pher D'Oyley, efqrs. the two lad*
mentioned gentlemen having married
each a daughter of the &d Haat
Stanley, Efq.
There are no monuments of the dead
remaining, either in the church or ad«
joining it. The folitary ftump of aa
old yew-tree only marks the fitc of the
church-yird; the figure of an eccle*
fiftftic in a cumbcnt poflure, and holding
in his hand the model of a building
(probably defigned to reprefent tUe
abbey) has been preferved from deftruc-
tion, and is placed on the lawn, before
Courtherbert houfe, a froail diftance
from the monaftery.
The ruins are extenfive, and the luxil
oriant mantling of ivy, in which they
are enveloped, give them a very iokmn
and renerable afped.
Weed? and briers noMf cover the fpor»
where the prieft difcharged the foUam
duties of hit fundion, aad the fwelling
note of the " organ" aided *< the fre-
quent praifes of w bite-robed Bonk^*."

Though Venice produced the 6r(l
Gazette in 1536, it was circulated in
manufcript long after the invention of
printin)]^, to the clofe of the 16th ceo-
tury» as appears from a colle&ion of
thefe Gazettes in the Magliabcchian Li-
brary at Florence, according to Mr.
Chalmers, io his curious and enteitain-
iDg Life of Ruddiman, p. 114.
Mr. Clialmers obfcrves, that it may
frratify our national pride to be told that
we owe to the wiliiom of Elizabeth, and
the prudence of Burleigh, tiie circulation
of the firft genui^ news-paper, ** The
Englifh Mercuric,*' -printed during the
time of the S^anifli. armada. The firft
, number, preierred ftill in the Britifli
Mufeum, is mark||) 50; it is dated the
23d of July, i$bA, and contains the
following curious article :
«*Ye(lcrday the Scotch Amdinfador
bad a private audience of her Majedy,
and delivered a letter from the King his
mafter, containing the roofV cordial af-
furances of adhering to her Maje(\y'& in-
tereftt, and to thofc of thcProieftant
KeligioQi and the young King faid to
her Majefty'« Miniller at his court, that
all the favour he expefted from the Spa*
niards was, the courccfy of Polyphemus
to UlyfTcs, that he (bould be. devoute'd
the lafV."
Thefe publications were however then,
and long after, publiihed in the fbape of
fmall pamphlets i and fothcy were called
in a tra£t of one Burton, in 1614: **lf
any one read now-a-dayt, it is a plav-
book or a pamphlet of newes,** for fo
the word was onginally l*p*!lcd.
From 1588 ro i6ix, and during the
pacific rei^n of James the F r(l, few of
thefe publicatioas appeared ; but the 30
yeais war, and the vi£(oiie» of the great
. King Gullavus Adolphus, having ex-
cited the curio6ty of our countrymen, a
wetkly pa|)cr, called **The Newe« of
the prcfcot Week,'* was piloted by N.;-
thaniel Butter, in i6xa, which was con-
tinued afterwards io 1626, undrr an-
other title, by Mcrcurius Briuoi.icus;
and they were fucceeded by the German
Intellij^cncer in 1630, and the Svirediih
Inielli^encer in 16311 which laf\ was
Compiled by William Waits, of Caius
College, who was a learned man, and
who thus gratified the pub.'ic cuno(i:y
with the exploits of tl^ awediOi hero, in
a noarto pamphlet.

Mr. Chalmers fubjoiot to thefe co*
rious refearches the account of the <firft
pa|)er printed in Scotland, in February
1699, the Edinburgh Gazette, whica
was accompanied anerwardt, in 1705,
by the Edinburgh Courant 1 and, at the
peiiod of the Union, Scotland had only
thres news-pxpers.
The publication of the Caltdontan
Mercury, bv Ruddiman, April aS, 1 710,
led this curious and entertaining biogra-
pher to this minure and laborious invaf-
tigation ; from which it appears, that
England had. in 1792, 35 town and 70
country papers; Scotland, 14 news-pa-
pers, pubiidi.d at Edinburgh and to the
country.

ON the i6;h of November laft, Dr.

yen:ured to puhi.fh a dnall pamphlet,
intituled, " Experiments on the Gent ra-

1 truft, therefore, that vcu wiM do me
the favour to give the fdlowini; (ibfir-

fuch I do not hcfitate to call it, an im-
mcdia'c inferti n in your ufcful and tx-

Our aerijil philosophers in genera] hare

The Do^or complains, that, ahhc -.^h
the French chemilis have bad tittfe ex-
periments before them two years, and
notwithftanding they are unfavourai>l<: to
the new theoiy, they have not yet been
answered by tiicm, although he hath ap-
plied to tiicm for this purpofe. The
Do6lor, however, our;ht not to attribute
their fi'encc entirely to the unanfwerable
nature of Ijis paper, fince ic contains no-
thing which / had not myfeif for (on.e
years anticipated. The experiments coa-
tained ia uac paper are good ones, and
pear, that the Do^^oi's reafoning and
nis theories, drawn froni rlufcveiv ex-
periments, are abfuid. If the (i enre,
therefore, of the foreijjn tlieniiU h*th

muft beg leave towhifVci in the D.»6tor*s

it hat not yet been obferved, that there
is t fmall print, engraved in 1553 by

The words "Aurea Lihcrias" are con-
fplcuous on the front of this noble monu-

rapture, they fuegefted to my mind the
following beautiful apofliopbe in Addi-

O Libertyi thou goddefs heavenly bright,
Profufe of blifs and pregamt with delight,'
Eternal plcafures in tliy prefence reigu,
And fmiling Plenty leads thy wanton train.

of a fixth-rate nrden and on the manager's

In plain EpgliHi, tlie manager of that
theatre fo m:)rci&ed his vanity by his treat-
ment of him. that he heartily icpented his
having 4uiited fo abruptly the ra/al brow of
Windfor.
On his arrival at that place, fo celebrated
for irs penknives and the lofiy fpire of its
catlicdral, he waited on the governor of the
children of Thcfpi's, folicited r.n engagement
(which w.ifi^rantcd), and rcqucfted to make
his firlt apiiearance in Othello, Moor of Ve-

The manager confented. On tht night

The Moor himfelf, however, wa- wtll
plealtd. He tliouj^ht, and with ju!\icc, tluvl
B:'ri7, wlien living, played it as well \ hut
he doubted whether lie had ever played it
better.
The Mrmager,^ it fliould fc«m, was of n
very diiloreiu opinion ; for, the next morn-
ing, the unf )rtun.ite ftroller faw his name
aitiched to the part of the fecoqd nmrderer
in Macbeth, in tlie play-bills for b^ next re-
prtfentation.
Ftitl of indignation and refentment, he
flew to the a|>aitmein of tlie theatrical mo-
narch, and, without knocking at the doftr,
burfl into the room with iheabi-npt qiiedion,
* Wh.it on earth, do you m^-an, fir, by the

It was to nopnrpufe that the other remon-

long train of ct caters : tlie manager was in-
flexible.

HOW. long beleagiiei'd llion*s tow'rs
Withdood Achilles' baffled might.
How He^r fmote the Grecian pow 'rs,
Wl)i!e the (hritl trumpet rouz'd the Img'rmg
Ifow Agamemnon's mging hod
Their foes with force and fraud aflall'd {
VV. \\tTy Tn>y*s unguarded fort,
Mad'rlu^ by dratagem; wl>ere valour fail'd ;
What Hannibalf what Cxiar uied^
Themidodes, or antient Rome ;
To fpread their, m^rtiil glory wide,
The fons of PhoBOus only can prtfumc
In flowing nombers to rehearfe.
Their favour'd poets' brows around,
Th'escuhing goddeflfes of fung
Cadalian wraathii ths vine's ripe tendrills
bound.
But Ti by far too weak to mount
' Dp deep FarnafTus* forked hill.
No waters from Aojiia's fount
Wit h thefe unhaUow*dlipsam doom'd to f will :
Hoarfe is my voice, and faint my lyre,
ScarcA can thefis fipgers make it found ;
Incapable of foaring higlier^
I fmk di(inay'd, and crawl along the ground.
Homer's tranfcrndent pow'rsof fong
Olympic Jove's bcheds relate,
Bo^v Greece aveng'd her monarch'^ wrong^
And Paris' lud was (boarg'd by ruUiledi fate.
Let Virgil, in majedic drain.
Tell how the Melt immortal pow*rs
Wafted th;it Phrygian o'er the main.
In Latium to re- build Dardania's tow'rs.
In Pindar fee a bard of fire.
The gods his dithyrambics grace :
TibuHus' drains breathe foft defur:
StiU in CatuUus blooias fair Lelbia's fKe.
Thefe glorioos Tetrarchs of the Mufe
Ttieirdue precedence gain from time.
Wilt thou, O ZoVlus, ref^fe
Inferior bards the wreath their merits claim ?
On merit fnuU fmali praife attends.
Nor is that labour cad away.
Which at Minerva s altar bcnJs
With didant homage o£ a feeble lay.

Better to hobble as we go.
Than to be number'd with the deail :
If we exert ourfelves, though flow;
He watch'd, and was indudrious, 'twill he faid.
Should Critic tliink thefe gairbols wrongs
His furious weapon let him draw i
My iiwo aninfement in the fong

What if no Wedem regions h'jar,

Yet France, my country ever dear.

fiion as thty made tlieir appearance emering
the briiige from the new- town, tlie Provolt

them, and tlie two bodies met on the bridge.
The magiftrates innmediately feized the flag,
difperied the multitude, took feme of the

then proceeded to the parliament houfe with

"npHE moft deplorable circum*
-L fiance Nvhich diftioguiflies this
Revolution from others is, that, when
its o> iginal objc£l was in a great mea-
fure obtained, oider, tranquillity, and
fubm'.lfion to law, did not return. One
revolution has been (grafted on another;
new alterations have been imagined
and executed by men more violent, and
ineans more bloody, than the former;
the populace, flimulatcd by unprinci-
pled leaders, have committed all the
cxcclTcs of revolted Ncgrot5, i.r of (laves
who have burfi from the galleys. At
and carnage as have been of late exhi-
bited in this country. Yet it ought to
be remembered, that dcfpoiifm, though
lefs favage, is more hopeltfs than anar»
chy, which contaiiK within iiftlf the
feeds of its own deflru£lion ; whereat
the pillars of defpotifm, being artfully
arranged for the fupport of each other,
may Hand for ages. Were it not for
this circumftjnce, and if there were no
choice but to life under arbitrary go«
\ernmenr, or to be expofed to the un-
redrainrd ravnges and cruelties of a
frantic populace, perhaps the former
would be preferred as the lefs evil.
For, in fpite of the vitiating tendency
of unlimited power on the human heart,
Hifiory affords inftances of perhaps one
in a doxen ()f princes whofe power was
unlimited, and who yet preferved the
virtues of humanity; whereas a mob is
always furious, brutal, and cruel* But
Heaven has not confined mankind 10
the miferable alternative; nor is every
nation poffefTed of the impetuofity of the
French, which, at the firil fenfation of
freedom, has hurried them headlong
into excefles without any rational ob-
je£li like the lunatick, whe, hating
fpoken the language of moderation, and
announced a peaceable difpofition, makes
ufe of his liberty in attacking every bo-
dy around, and Bghring furiouily, till,
his firengih being exhauftcd, he is a-
gain br«.Uf;ht back to his tetters."
Hnw fji it is 10 be adopted as an ex-
ample hy other nations, let other nations
this moment, four ^e^irs after the firft
inlurrciliun, inflcad of the blcHings of judge (or ihemfclves. Our own coun-
frcedom, the unhappy people of France trymen, Mr, Urban, have m^de the
arc, under the name of a Republick,
lulTering more uuolcablc opprclfioos
tliao ihcy ever did under the moH de-
spotic of their nionaichs. and are, at
iht lame time, expofed to the attacjcs
of extetnal enemies, whofe number is
daily incrrafing by the imprudent con-
duit of ihcir new governors."
Such is the account given of the
French Revolution by Dr. Moore, in the
icccMirl volume of his Journal, du-
rin^ his rcfidence in France till the mid-
cijc ot December, 1792, p> 449 i and a
a very jufl one it is.

the moft impoitant tt) nankind in ge-

trial of a'lepublican form of govern-
ment. When they thought the oppref-
fions and expeoces of a monarchy could
no longer be borne, and the tyranny of
kings was at its height, they thought
the befi remedy was to pafs fentence on
the feigning fovereign by what a cer-
tain fa£tion called a fair trial in a legal
court. The nation found itfelf growing

has adopted my idea of phlogifton, bc«

clear, for I formed alkaline air ia^o in*

pjure air, which is not the leaft aceicent^

Kr^ion of alkali to neutralize it. 6uch,
r. Urban are the abfurd doArines de-
dueible from the arguments and expla*
nations which our modern chcmifts have
given of their own experiments*
Now, in forming this inflammable

on mine it is not only eafily accounted
for, but it is one ot the many argu-
ments to which I am ready to refer, as
dcmooftrativeof my theory, not only of
fixed fire, bot of the formation of the
atmofphcre. See the Gentleman's Ma-
gasine fm* 1791. It is a painful talk,
Mr. Urban, to be under the neceffity m

look at the table of derive attrdfiions,
which has been handed dowiTto us an*
difputed, he will fee that the nitrous
acid, and phlogifton, have the gitateft
nttraftion for each other of anv bodies
in nature. But, after getting all the air
we can from the nitre, if we add freih
nitrous acid 10 the alkaline refiduum,
we can go on makinj; pure air, the acid
not atraclmg phlogiiTon from the alka^
line refiduum, (which it is fuppofed to
have attraAed from the alkali in the

knows that the nitrous acid, in the for>-
mation of nitrous air, will attra€^ phlo-
giflon from meuls, notwithftanding
their earths have fo ftrong an attraAioa
forphlogifton. But I have, in my for-
mer publications flicwn, from the doc-
tor's own experiments, that the alkali
makes a part of the pure drj but, in ad-
ding nitrous acid to metdKe bodies, ni*
trous air is formed ; and then going on
with 'the proccfs, by expofing them to
he<»t, pure air is formed ; then, if it
took phlogifton from the remaining ni-
trous acid, the metallic earth fliould be
again reduced 1 but it flill remains earth,
except the earth of mercury, which will
become meralliaed by fire alone. But^
as the Do£kor himi'elf fays, by adding
frefli nitrous acid, you may go on with
the proccfi till the earth is all confumed,
fbrmkng the pureft air, and no nitrous
air, then I would afli what has become
of the phlogifton of the acid i If the ni-
tious acid is added to the volatile oils,
or the volatile alkali, they will generate
what Dr. Prie(\ley calls dephlogiAicated
nitrous air, when cxpofed to heat ; then
the volatile oils, and volatile dkali,
inu(i» like the fixed alkali and earth, be-
come hxcd in the procefs, decompound*

SOMS (uppofe, that two rows upon a
ridge cannot pioducc fo much as
cqvi«dmaot rows drilled at 9 inches.
Mr. Toll dates leaving a produce of
it ooBCes per yard, of double rows, per
ridg^ of 3 feet 6 tocliet broad, if the
fidget be 4 feet i inches, or 56 iDchea
broad. In that breadth there are fix
dfifit at 9 inches, or three double rows.
At tkiere are 1996 ysrds of this breadth
b one acrCf aficr dedufting head ridges,
fuppofe the equal dilUnt rows produced
40 buflKls per acre, dividing tne ounce
in 40 buihels by the ^ards, the produce
is f I per yard of the ridge, or 41 d. oz.
per yard of the double rows.
In icveral late publications the pro*
duce oif horfe^hocd wheat is more. In
the 4th volume of Bath papers is men«
doned an inftance where a fiogle row
prodaceu 7} oz. per yard, which is ac
the rate of 15! oz. per double row, and
ibis was from very (mall grain.
1 have Irom frequent experiments bad
upwards of 18 buihels per acre upon
fidget of 4} feet bread, which is at the
ratr of H ounces pec jard of deublC'
rows.*— And I have had four fucceHtve
crops of horfc-hoed wheat without ma-
nure, and wirhout the crops declining.
And befidet Mr. Tull's, who had 13
fttcceffive crops of wlieat without ma-
nure, there are a great many inflancet
of faceeiRve crops that could be men*
tioBed.<— And it is Ihewn* by undoubted
anthonty, that the ezpence of horfe*
hoed grain is much lefa tnan broad -caft.
Tm Society of Arts, near thirty years
ago, oflFeied premiums for a eomparifon
between horic-hoing and broad-caft)
bot I find no premiums offered for expe*
timentt of the horfe*lK>ing iinee tnac
time : hue, (ince the contriraooe of fome
late drills, there have been feveral for
equal diflant rows, which was the me*
thod Mr. Toll firft pradifcd. And, tiosr
that dfillt ef a better conftrttAion aro
contrived, espeHmcnts of his other me-
thod* of horte*hoeing might now bt
iftore properly aeeirted.
I wss at a lofs to find a drill machine
for my experiments, as they jrere made
bcfere the Ricv. Mr. Cooke and othen
were known ; therefore I was under thai
aeceffity to have oiie made, which wat
far ffOA beiftg accurate ia the delivery of
thefted.
I have had the cnriofitvto look at moR
of the laie-invemod drilfs, to (ce if they
were a^pced or proper for hoire-hoeingi
hftt found all I have feen were contrived
for Mr.Tu!l*s firft method of drilling
equi-diftant rows only. But, lately^ f
have met with one that is adsptcd' for
horfe>hoting two or three rows, and for
horfcoboeiag the fpaces bctwreo the
rows.
And a hand-hoe^ «nth which rhcy m3^r
be hoed much more expeditiouily ttun-
with common hoes.
This machine is ilfo adaptedior drill-
ing equi diAant rows at 9 inchek^ or
oth«r diftanees, with harrows and hoes.
To me, this machine appears the moft
fimple, and the b.A I have met with, as
ic anfwers for both thcfe meihods of
drilling.
1 therefore fend thefe remaiks fi>r in-
fertiott in your Magazine, if you mav
think proper to publifh them, for the
information of thofe perfons wl.o may
have a defire to make trial of the hortc-
hoeing huibandry, (which Mr. Tull

They were made under the aufpiccs of
my lae learned and much honoured pa-
tron, Biftiop Green, to svh )m I had the
honour of imparting them, now many
years ago, at Buckdcn ; and hr was
pleafed to pcrufe, and, as 1 flattered my-
lelf, to appiove them.
** I call ihcra by no better name thrn
CplUffiottJ, though brougl>t into a read-
able form ; becaufe noihing^tchis diftance
of time can poHibly be learned of Bifhop
Groffwtcfte and his hiftory but what mufl
be drawn from books and MSS; and,
what is a greater difparagemtnt to rhe
work, my piivate ilaiion, as a country
clergyman, would not permit me to have
much accefs to public lilirarics; but the
materials were chirfly to be (ought for ia
a book-rocm, which, you will cafily fup-
pufe, cannot be very richly or amply fur-
nifiicd/*
Bifliop G. lived in one of the moft la-
mentable fjeriods of the EogMh confli-
iution, both in church and Hate, jufl after
king John had refigncd his k<ngdoms to
the pope, and received ihtm agatn as a
fee of the papacy at an annual iribuce.
His young (on, Henry HI. wa> forced
to trtad in the fteps of his father, and
take the kingdom on the fame terms;
fwearing fealty and doing homage lo the
pope ; infomuch that the prelacy cf G.
began and concluded in this lat^ re gn,
will afford us a concife though clear ic-
prcfcDtation of the mo<ie in wMch the
popes and their agents condu6Ud their
ill- acquired and now unbounded power;
and, at the fame time, of the intiepiduy
and ref^itude of the biihop^ in lefifting
to the utmoft thefe ufurpatious as far as
he was concerned. Though not engaged
in the public bufinefs of the Hate or otlier
woildly attairs, he condufVed lu^ cxten-
five dioccfe with the clo(ell attention and
unremitting application; and all his dif-
putes vvith the pope, the king, the nobi-
lity, the abbots, or others, terniinattd
iuccefsfully by the clcarncfs of his head,
^joined with that natural courage, con-
Aancy, and (irmr.crs of ir.ind, fur vvl.ich
be Is fo much ceicbiatcd.
The precifc year of his birth is rot
known; it was probably about A. D.
1175, of low and obfcure, but honeir, pa-
rents, at Stradbrook, Suttolk. lie fiudied
at Oxford, and there laid a founJaiion of
Creek and other literature, which he fo
cmJocDtly dJfpUyed in his numcio\i» and
various writings, and which qualified him
to become the pitron of literary men.
He was a fhort time in the fervice of the
biOiop of Herefori, but, on his death,
returned to his (ludies till noticed by
that discerning |Tc:iate, Hugh dc Welles,
who pave him a ptebcnd io'the church of
Lincoln. He was archdeacon of Cheftcr,
1 2 10; of Wilts, 1270; of Leictllcr
till 1232; and piebeiid of P.mpingh.im,
Lincoln di'Kcfe. He K.ok his doMoi *s
degree before 1224, was rt6Vor of Ad)- .
ley,N r:i»amp:on, 1225. On the death of
dc Wclle^, i2}4> he was e'eftcd by the
chapter of Lincoln, and the king readily
conlei.ted to their choice of Kim for their
b(hop. He was con(c6rated' in rhe
abbey-church of R a;ling l>y aichbi(hv>p
Edmund. For parliculaisof his conduft .
in that fee, we muft refer to his bio^ia-
pher J anrj obfcivc tha: he filled it till his

No prela'.e Wa> ever mors atrin'ive to

to have tl.c parochial churches well-
fupplcd. By his (piiitcd rcfirtance a

pope and the kin(j meant to have levied
on the clcrt»v, carue to nothing. He

190 Obituary of confiJerabIc Pirfons. — Gazette Promotiens, [Feb.
formed )preal colle^ions, particularly that of
Fcier Lc Neve, for the contigaous counties
of Nodblk and Suflblk, from the wreck of
tti^ U Thomas Marti n, to eredl a monument
to whctfc memory in the church where he
was buried he has left a fum of money.
Among the reft was a lars^ collection of
original letters, written* during the reigns of
lieniy VI. Edward IV. Richard III, and
Henry VII. by fuch of the Pafton family,
and odiers, who w^i-e pcrfonally prefent in
court an! camp, and were, in thofe times^
j>erfr^.".v of grcflt confequence in the toun'y
o\ Not-folk. Thefe letters contain many cu-
rious and authentic ftate anecdotes, relating
not only to Norfolk but to the kingdom in
general, as to the wars in France. 1 wo vo-
lumes of them were publiibcd in 1787, 410
(fee vol. LVII. pp. 165, 472), and dedi-
cated, by permiflion, to his Majefty, who
rewarded the merit of the editor with the
faonour of knighthood. Two others ap-
peared in 1789, with notes and iUuilrations
by Sir John ; and we have the pleafure to
learn that a dfch is Icfc ready for tlie prefs.
He was the author of a very interefting let-
ter to Mr. Urban, " On the Poft and Port-
age of Letters, and on the Priviltga and
Modes of Franking Letters" (LIV. 644).
Though he contributed nothing to the Ar-
ch;eol(gin of the Society of Antiquaries, he
"wns a benefactor to them by drawing up
" Three Chronological Tables" of their
members, which were printed in a qtiarto
pamphlet, i?84, for tlie ufe of the StHiiety.
But his merit tvas not confined to his li-
brary. As an adtive, know-ng, and upright
magiftraie, a z^alou5, waim, difmtereftcd
friend, and in all tl^e duties of focial life, he
has Irfc few equals ; and his I«fs is univer-
fally deplored, even by thofe whofe condu^
fais example reproached; and the fe verity of
his viiiue awed. If theinquifitiveaijtiquarjr,
the cle.ir, faithful, and accurate writer, be
juftly va'ued by literary ch.ira£ters ; the in-
telligent and upright magiHraie, by the in-
habitants of the c(>uiity in which he refided ;
the informing and p'eafing companion, the
waiTu ai d ftcady friend, the hontft and
wonliy man, tlie g^M^U and exemplary Chril-
tian, by thofe wiih whom he was connect-
ed ; the i!e:ith of few iniiividuals will he
more fenfihly felr, more generally regretted,
«r more fmccrely Kimented.

was tb< RcV. Mr. Benj. Sowden, mini-
%mt of the Sngliihthurch at Rotterdam,
whoTe name oipun appears in yoar vo*
lumtf, who feemed co me to be the moft
chearfut, open perfon I ever met with 1
and he told me, in the moft feriout man-
ner, that her Ladylbip lodged, for fome
time, at his houl'e, and left with him
her Letters in queflton, to be publifhcd
after her death : - when that event took
place, he thought it was but decrot to
acquaint the family, and know if they
had any objedions they had} and a
segociacion was opened for feitling the
douceur he was to receive for delivering
up the copy s tois l«fted fix months { and,
juft as he bad received the money, the
Letters were poblilhed, but, as he aifu-
red me, entirely without his knowledge
(though the family could not help fui-
pe£ting otherwife), only that the date of
the preface from Venice was an im^gi*
nary one* This is the fubflance of what
I was then told 1 and, a» ic is not very

(feJSa// to enter fdither into a defence

to do it for the whole, allowing only the

MR. Macaulat, in hik •'Hiitory

ven an account of the family of Smith,
enquired after, vol. LXili. p 1131.
Mr. M. lays, "The hoults in which
Roger Smith and his brother, the chief

marks of great antiquity. The Lord
Chief" Barou's houfc has nothing remark-
able about it, except its pljin and hum-
ble appearance, which would befptak
it to have been always the refidcnce of
a farmer. He was much attached to his
native village, where, among many
other arls of ch^irity and bencficen<e,
lie fo'inded and endowed an hofpital for
14 } (or widows of the communion of
ihc Church of EnjiUnd. wlfo hate each
^.12 per annum, and a fcparatc houi'c."
By a codicil to his will, be gave the rcfi-
duc of his perfonal property for the en-
dowment; the value oT which imovy fo
much improved, that Nfr. M. fays it is
]ir>ped the allowance will be increafed.
Four of the houfes were built by Dr.
Wiglcy and Tho. Boorhby cfq. the
chief baron's executors, and the re-
maining ten by Mr. Boothby in 1761.
On the u.ill of one of the houfes arc

derive the eftatc from her fifter, who

In D'-atlon's Political Index, it ap-

the High Court of Juftice conftituted
by authority of parliament, of which
Richard KtbU was the uteGdent. The
event. of this trial, fo far as relates to
Col. Slingiby, it not recorded ; but, as
it it evident chat he obtained his liberty,
it may be prefumcd that be was permit-
ted to compound for his. delinquency ;
as was certainly the cafe of fir John
Stowell, which i& fully ftated in the
Journals of the Houfc of Commons,
under the hands of l^eble and zo of his
brethren, dated April ai, 1651. Col.
Slingiby continued fome years longer in
coDtiaement; but lived, as appears p. 29,
to contribute his alfillancc in eflfcAiog
the Reftor<itiun of his Royal MaiUr.

The coftom of obferving the new

the Jews after their return from cap-

Mr. Urban, Dover Ma^ch, 8.
Ssn of thtliynt favoured your read-
ers with a vorabalary of \Vords ufed
by the natives of Northumberland ; in
fome of which, I think, he h^s mif-
taken the mcaniiig. I therefore take
the liberty of (ending my explication of
ihcm ; and alfo, of adding a few more
words in the Son of the Tyne's voca-
bulary :
Prt/i/, a fountain. No. Vant figiiifies the
ctftcrn, which receives the wade-water ful-
ling therefrom.
Snccb^ a latch to the door. It fticiild be
wrote Jnecly being pronounced Iiard.
Smafitty a fmall raifed fiuit-pic. No. It
fignifies any thing larger than a)mmon. If
there were two f*r three pies upon a table,
of different fizes, the largeft of them would
be called a Jmajker.
^kel, a wooden pail. With this diffinr-
ence, the diameter of a fleel at the top and
bottom are the fame.
Staitbf a itorehoufe for coals. No. Stuitb,
whjrf.
Reeky fmoke. i
Racking-crvikf A crafi? or crook over the
fire. It ihould be reekins-crook, as hang-
ing in the reek or fmoke.
Additional Woilds.^
SUt, a bolt if a door.
Tiggin, a fmall wooden milk meafui'e^
holding near a pint.
LaggtMf ftaves.
Huckf a crooky a fickle for cutting corn.
jiud, old.^

Poke, fack.

ilrike a fmall wooJen bowl with. '
Shinnejf'hdhf a $\me fo called.
Futbcr, a large csrt of coals.
Ctpe,' to change oho thing for another.
If I were to hazard my opinioo, Mr.
XTVban, upon the qfOery m Mr. Brand's
Hiflory of Newcaitte; viz. whether the
name (Stock-bridge) be derived from
felling flock- filh' tliere, it would be,
that it certainly derived its name front
» matter of greater confcq'ucnce. 1 ra-
ther Cuppofe the bridi.'e took its name
from the Jlock or taflU, which pafiecf
over ii to the market near thereto, ap-
prcpiiated for that purpofe.

THERE is nothing which adds more
genuine luflre to the Englifli cba-
raAer than the conftaney and firmnefs'
which has, at various times, been ma-
nifefted HI the honourable condudi of the
judges of the land.
Sir James Haies^ a juflice of the
common pleas m. the reign of Ed-
ward* Vf. is a twofold inflance of unal-
terable attachment to the laws and con-
flitution of his country. Although a
zealous Protcflant, he could not be pre-
vailed upon by his p^rty to oppofe the
fucceifiun of Queen Mary, hecaufe her
right to the crown was fupported by law
and juftice. . The fame fenfe of doty
obliged thii upright judge to put in tx-
ecution, at Q^een NJary'k fucceli'ion,-
the laws agarnfl fayii?^ Mafs, feverai
priefls being indi£Ved before him at Maid**
done in Kent. For this latter condu£^,
he fell a'vidiim to the perfecuting zeal
of the queen ; and was not only remo-
ved from the bench, where be fat in the
former reign, but committed to cUfe
cullody, and treated withfuch feverity,
that he fell into a frcnay, and killed
himlclf, A. D. 1553.

IN the fourth edition «f Mr. Wynd-
ham's Teur in Wa^es, p. 4s, he gives
the following account of a murder com-
mitted in Wates, in the neighbouihood
of Llar.dilo Vaur, of which 1 dp not
find anv meotion in your volumes.
«< Wil'.iams, afliop-keeperinthe town
of Llandovery, was fuppofed to have a
criminal connexion with the wife of a
Mr. Powell, who lived between that
town and Llandilo. Prevented bv the
jealoufy and vigilance of the hufband
from continuing his adultery, he formed
the daring plan of removing the obflacle
to his defires. For this purpofe he en-
gaged a fct uf lawlefs villains, and kept
them in a conftant ftate of ebricty till an
opportunity fliould o^er of putting his
murderous fchemc in execution. The
intention of Williams and his crew was
publicly fufpe£ted, not only by Powell,
but by the whole Dcighl>ourhood. How-
ever, he perfevered ; and, in the time of
a deep fnow, and late in the night, the
alFallins attacked the houfe, forced their
way into it, and, furprifmg Mr. Powell
fitting at his tabic, put an end to his ex*
iftt nee with many circum(^ances of ex-
aggerated cruelty. Powell had only time
to exclaim, on feeing them, " My GotI !
I am a dead man ; ny enemies are upon
ine!*'
<* The murder perpetrated, the accefTa-
rit^ quietly retreated 10 their rtfpeftive
employments ; and WilUamb, the princi-
pal , coniinued for fome time at his fhop
in Llandovery unmolcfttd. However,
the report of the airiflinaiioii fpreading to
zrtty p,i:i uf die coun(ryi Williams a(
nnorgan(hii*e militia were ordei'ed as a goard
oyer them for the night they remained ia
tha: town. The next morning it was difco-.
vered, on the prifoners be>ng muftered^ that
one was miffing. Though the prifoner miff-
ing went by another ntme, he was founi! to
be the noted Williams, who was the princi-
pal in the murder of Mr. Powell, fume years
ago, in Caermarthenlhire. Scouts were fent
out all over the country to retake him*, but .
without effiedt He was taken prifoner as a
common failor in a French privateer.*'
This note, however, is without foun • .
dation, as i had the following particulars
from a gentleman who was profieflionally
employed in the bufinefs io which die
death of Williams was proved.
When Williams made hit efcape, ht
went to Dunkiik, where he afTumed the
name of Thomas. About a year after,
his brother was in a colTee-houfe to Lon*
don, when two perfons in a box obfer-
ved, that he mud be a near relation of
Thomas who was drowned at Dunkirk.
He went to them, and aflted fome qucA
tions ; and, foon after, lie and his mo-
ther went over to Dunkirk, and were
informed by one Walker, who wat *
fchoolmafler theie, that he beeauM ac-
quainted with a man, who called himfelf
Thomas, foon after his arrival, by hit
bringing the children of the man with
whom he lodged to fchool ; that, at firftt
he appeared fober and remaikably chear-
ful, but afterwards feemed to have fome-
thing which he feemed to wiib to unbur-
thcn bimfelf of ; that Walker recom-
mended it tcf him to confefs to a prieft ;
that he conferred with him, but did not
confefs I that, after this, he broke oitt,
grew difordeily, and laughed at religio* ;
that he went out 00 a Sunday afternoon
in a boat with feven perfons, when a
plank ((ariing, the boat funk, and he
and fome others were drowifed | that be.
Walker, found the following writing on
a paper in Thomas's pocket-book — ~*

FEW queilions tn geography or hif-
tory have occafioned iuch diver*
fity of opinions as that relating to the '
04)hir and Tarlhtfli of the Old Tetta-
ment. That clafi of writers, who fup-
pofe them to have been in Africa, is
fubdivided into feveral others: fome
place them on the coaft of the Mediter-
ranean, fome in Ango!a, and others,
with more probability, on the South-eall
coaft of that Continent. Of the latter,
one party has 6aedon fume of the Afri-
can iQands i another on the coaft of
Melinda^' near the Equator | and a
third, and very large clafs, prefers So-
fala. Mr. Bruce has adopted both the
laft-mentvoned opinions, placing Tar-
ihifl) on the coaft of. Mehnda, and
Ophir at Sofala. (From i Kings x. aa.
and a Chron. ix. zi.) It has been gene-
ra^\y concluded by the leained writers
**/jo have difcuffed this queftion, tho'
peihaps without fufBcicnt reafon, that

the IflhmdK^f Suex to one, or both, of
tbefe pracet, and return in lefa than
three years : this leading mark in tbc
voyage to Tarfliifli w^s lon^ liace up-
ticed, as aflPording a ftrong prefu nptiom
againft the ctaims.of either Melmda or
Sofala; both wbich appear, oo a firft
view, to be too near the Red Sea, to
require fo lonj^ a vnvage. Mr. Bruce,
on the contrary, maintains that this ve-
ry circumftfince affords a deci(i«e proof,
that Ophir was at Sofala. His argu-
ment, which it certainty recommended
by novelty at leaA, has been much ap-
p.auded, and pronounced by very ab^
judges to be abfolutely deciftvc of the'
queftion.
Dr. RobenfoD, in his *<Htftorteal
Difquiiition concerning ancient India,"
fpcalcs of this queftion, and of Mr.
Bruce's difquiHtion, in the following
terns :
"In what region of the earth we
•* Ihould fearch for thcfe famous pons,
•* which furniflied the navy of Solomon
** with the various commodities eoume-
« rated by the facred biftorians, is an
*• inquiry that has long exercifbd the in-
<< duftry of learned men. They wcfv
« early fuppofed to be (iiuated in
« fome part of India, and the Jews
'< were held to be one of the nations
** which traded to that country. But
** the opinion more generally adopted
** is, that Solomon's fleet, nfttr pafling
*< the ftraits of Babelmandeb, held their
" courfe along the Sourh-weft coafl of
« Africa, as far as the kingdom, of Sc-
<* fala, a country celebrated for its rich
" mines of gold and filver, and abound-
<< ing in all the other articles whrch
<' compofed the c4rgoes of the Jewifli
« fliips. This opinion, which ttic ac-
<< curate refcarches of M. D'Anville
** rendered highly probable, feems now
** to be cftabliflied with the utmoft cer-
« tainty by a late learned traveller; who,
** by his knowledge of the monfoons
*' in the Arabian gulf, and his attention
*< to the ancient mode of tiavigatioo^
*' both m that fc^, and along the Afri*

V the extraordinary length of time,
'* which the ftccts of Solomon took in
" going and returning, but has (hewn,

unneceiTary qualification, to thofc who humanity, had not a weak monarch
make laws, and fct examples to man-

When Dr. Geddes aiferts, that church
eAablifhments have been a continual
fource of evils bcth to church and
flate, he advances an unanCwcrable ar-
gument againft the abufe of church
cftabliihtncnts. When he reje£ls a fal.
jible judge of religious coutroveifies,
and acknowledges no authoiity bu: the
Scriptures, eVery unprcjudic-d man
mu!t approve his dtcifion. When he
deriies ihat the fiifliop of Rome is fu-
pi-rior to any other bifliop, or to him-
jclf, by divine inHitutioo, he certainly
r!id r.DX think of rot)thin£ the picjudi-
ccs of the Uomtn C^tholtcs. Were he
capable of condcfccndinj: to footh the
pitjudicrs of eiihcr Catholics or Pro-
tel*Miits, he might indeed draiu monfj
out oj tbiir pockets p but he would be
unwjfihy to be an intcrpicter of the di-
vine oracles.
No man is fit for that taHc, but one
of a coKpreiunfive underilanding, ex-
teuHve erudition, acute judgement, li-
beral icncinicnt, iiiflLxiblc intc^.nty,

Mr. UxBAN, Wimchtfiir^ March i^
I SHALL offer no apology for con«
(iderine ihe letter^ relative to thp
controverfy between myfelf wHA Dr.
Geddes, the firft part of which appear-
ed in your U(l Number, under whatever
fignature it may terminate, as the ge-
nuine production of the Do6lor himitlf.
I have already atiigned a caufe, which
#»/ of tbsir pocktts.
J. M. feems to thinlc it a proof of
lenity in the Fopifli Biihops, that they
did not prevent Pr. Qeddet's Tranfla-
tion from being prittted and fold $ this
is making a yirtu^ of neceflity ; they
^ewed their teeth, "bat dared not bite t
for, as to their cenfure, it betravs a wifl,,
aot a power, to do mifchief. At a pre-
ventive, I tru(lt it is fu^cient to ef •
{H>re their injuftice to the good fen(e ^f ;rei;ms to be admitted, why this gentle*
jthe Britilh nation ; for, 1 hope that Ca-
thoUcf, as well as Ps^teftants, are be-
come too eaJight«Bcd^ to be duped by a
lew feMilh men, who fet up their own
interefted opinions in oppofition to the
word of God, in oidcr 4$ jiranu mongj
aui of ibitr potkets.
But, if Dr. Geddes difdains to flutter
Cuperftition, he abhois tl^ idea of couc-
(tcaancing infidelity. He fcorns aliKc
^ pbilofopbtf* s flonti which has filled
the pockets of Frtncb tvits, and thu
which has enriched the ccffers o( Rtmijb
Bigotry.
J. M. acknowledges thatpr. Geddes
has gi^eat taicnts ; he has alfo great
temper; yet I advife J. M. not to pro-
voke him too far, otherwife he wiil find
him, as he fufipcCls, to be a trimwur.
At the conciu(ion of his letter, J. M.
givesa(peciroen of moderation, in words
if di made ufe of by the Apodoiic Vicars;
and then, with ujiblufhing front, alks
if there ii any thing inquiTicorial in fuch
language. By this he would wi(h others
to believe what he does noc beliefe
himfclf. In (hurt,
— pergit ad imuro
<^ualis ab inccjjKo proceflerit, et fibi«oollat«
However I may differ from J. M. in
other refpe'As, I perfcQly agree with him
in this,— that it is not natural to ezpe£t
«heRoman Catholic Bifliops will employ
a pricft, «. ho refufes to xunfuU bis own

Having mentioned the membtrs of generally fofrens men's manners, and
the Scotch C</nvention, 1 canuot htlp
exprefling my Airprise, that fo much
fliould have been ikid about the fuppo-
fed iDJuflice of fending their Honours
to the land of coavi6is, when, 'n my
opinioDy the only ferioui quiAinn was
concerning (he propriety of adding to
the puniihnnent of that unhappy defcrip-
lion of men, by mingling fuch fi e-
brands of (ocicty amongft them. At
all cventty I hope that Mr. High Con-
fiable Barringtnn may be allowed a
double lalary. if, after the imp-trtation
of the prcfent cargo of {edition, he
iiiccced in pfeferving the peace of the
colony. Yours, Itc. J. M r.

WHEN men form themfelvcs into
dubt with intent'on to mike

nion^, it behoves them to choofc a name
that mav not awaken the fears or diflike
nf- their neighbours. The foe ety of J9««/

I am old enough to remcmf)er the rc«
hellion of the year 1745, *"^ ^■' ^^^'^
known how ftrcnglv many clergymen of
one of the midlano counties exprtlfcd their
wi flics for its fuccefs : attached to the
ca»jfc of ihc Prttendtr (though thcv had
taken thr (aihs co K.ii.g George the Se-
cond for the livings ih-jy enjoyed), they
wore plaid ribbons to their watches, and
toafled in all companies Church and
Ktmg ; and they m^ide 00 fecret of their
avcrfi.^n to the Rrvlutia* and the Man9^
Vir fuc'cfllion. On that account, I then
difliked the toafl ; and my objtAibns
have iince incieafcd from rcflc^ing on
the alifuruiiv of the King being placed
helow tlu- Church, though by law he is
the biad of it.
During the life of the wonhy and re*
fpc^Jabe Arthur Onflow, efq. Speaker
in iive parliameuts of the Houfe ofXom-

tbtyfirti/bt ever excited any other paflii>ii the Archbifliop's, the firfl roall was, and
in the bread of others than what arofe

HarmicTs as the foregoing clubs mi^ht
have been, there are itih-r^ uhich luve
a tendency to kindle a.-iimcjfHy where at
prcfent there may be none, or to keep
alive a jca'oul'y which miglit otiierwifc

Mr. Pitt having received information
of the following letter, which has been
arfdrelTed by the Commilfioners for pro-
viding the ('ubnflcnces and provifioot of
the Republic, to the citizens.
** Paris f I3lh Nhm. (Jan.)
" Citizens! The wants of the Republic
demand, that, conformably to the refoliuion
of ttie uoitcd Commitfcss of Ftninnces, Ge- "
neral Sa'etv, and Public Welfare, on the 7th
inft. and agreeably to that of tlie Commitiion
of this day, you deliver to the Commilfioners,
as foon as poliible, an account of the exaA
ilale of your propeity in merchandizes, of
bills of exchange or cmJit in foreign coun-
tries; and you arc required, within two
days, to loilgc the fuid bills of exchange in
the Puhlic Ti eifun , which after it ftfU h:we
received the amount, will remit you to the
vahic in ;>rtign.>ls at pat. We expeft frank-
nAs :\vA expedition on your part. Any de-
l.\y or fraud fliall be denounced with fcve-
riiy. — Wc inform you that Government will
take all poflible Iteps to difchartje at /wr the
lawful debts which the republicans or the
citizi'us may have due in foi ei^^n countries,
others th.in thofe wirh which the Republic
is ;)t war. In omfequence, you are ex-
pitlsly forbidden to t.ike any more paper
vpi^y foreign countries, or to allow foreign-
e;s to draw uprn you, without having cer-
tihe > to Tie ComnulTion as to the employ-
ment of tlieie funds.
" The Prefident of the Commiflion,
(Signed) R ."
T fubmit therefore, that it i* cear, the
\icw, nature, and cffc6V of their con-
ttr.ts, i<i th\y, th^t whoever has the
power of d'a^ving bills ol exchange—

f/M '^ whoever now potfclie* auy oi

deliver them up inHantly to the State,
that tln.y may become the public pro-
peity of France* and he fhiil receive ia
lieu of them alfignats, at par, as a full
p^^meot anrf equivalent for chat which
he thus transfers to the State. Now, I
think, it is obvious, this unites twp
di(lin6l charaf^ert equally clear; the
one, a robberv of the citizens of France,
bf maicine them, whether they will or
DO, transfer that which is yalaable for
tht which they may not think valuable
at all. They are ctinftrained to take at
pa" that which at times has not been
worth one-fcventh of par.
The next thing is, that all debts ovv*
ing from individuals living in countries
at war with them, are to go to ftrengthen
tht finevv^ of carrying on that war againft
themselves. I think it is obvious, to
prevent the effects of fuch a tranlaAion,
that it is our duty to pay a certain regard
to our own intereft» and our own prfiier-
vation ; and if they were out of the
queOion, a regard is due to the prefer^^
vation ,of mercantile good faith, in order
to prevent our traasferringyby this mix*
ture of fraud and force, the payment of
their lawful debts from (he pcrfons who
are entitled to them, to the Sute. As
to'the general principles on this fubjed,
I believe they arc known to every gen*
tieman. On the abllr^^ p'lnciple o£
the law of nations, and, of this country,
the payment of any debt owing to an
alien enemy cannot be (uflained in time
of war— that he cannot maintain an ac-
tion for it— and the King might attach
' it as belonging to an alien enemy, dut
the mitigated praflice of modern times,
from a dcfire to continue, even in a ftate
of war, the benefits of mercantile inter*
courle, which are for the advantage of
individuals^, without intrenching on the
public fafety, hafe long ago brought
thefe principles in their full extent into
difufe.
But, though that practice is much to
be applauded, when this ufe is made of
it, yet, if inftead of anlwering the tirft
end. which* I have ftated, that is — by
prcfcrving the intered of individualt,
fubjedk to the limitation of not dircdiy
intrenching on the iaterefts of the State^
it inverts both thufe propolition^, by
plundering and deftroying property, and
