ed withiu half cable's length of a rock, (must of
which wai coveted at high water) and a mile from
th - main land ; a spring was gpt upon the cable, and'
a constant fire kept up till near nine o'clock, when
I sent Messrs. Lung and Thompson, 'he si/l and
• hird lieutenant, Mr. Morgan, mailer's mate, and
Mr. Patton, midshipman, in the barge and cutters,
with their erews and fix mari icg, giving dire&iVns
to Lieut. Long to set fire to the veflel, if he could
not brj'ig her off. At half past ten the boats re
turned, with afecond captain, a midshipman, and :
26 men, having f» effcftually performed this ser
vice, that, at hwenty nine minutes past twelve, flic
blew up. It was with great difficulty they go' a
long fide of the enemy, the tide have ebbed consi
derably, and they experienced a very obstinate re
finance, the greatest part of her crew having remain

proved a corvette, lugger rigged, called L'E urial
mounting 18 four pounders, jtommanded by Mous.
Rousseau, having 105 men on board. She was

brought off and taken in tow ; but in a short time
she became so water logged, that I scuttled her.

Vigorous measures were adopted, on the late
conspiracy, and on the morning of the tjth, the
utmost tranquility prevailed in Paris. It must be
confeffed, that the present seems to be the mod un .
propitious period that could have bee* chosen for a
confpiracy—for in neither of the two Councils does
there exist any violent fpiKtof party; between th.
Lrgiflature and the Diredory, there are the ut.

ATTEi\TION, HAYMAKERS !
Suspend your scythes—Lean upon your pitchforks
—Stick your take* in the sod, and while thr
refrcthing pitcher goes meirily round, listen to
Neighb ur Wintnw's advice upon drinking.
0 Fellow Labourers,
WHEN we iweat mod, we third rao ft, and
dmik rtbft abundantly—You will all pronounce
that hquurbelt, which make* you raoft Itrong and
healthy. , 0
Then do not drinks—The body in Hit* ful ry
season being extremely heated, acts like a still, the
rum immediately fl.es off, and the heavy, dammy
dregs of the beer and sugar, temain to clog the
ttomack, render the laborer dull and weak, and of
ten excite inflammatory disease.
Do not drink -.oddy or milk punch, for the fame
reaion.
If rum, brandy, whiflcy, gin or other ardent
fpints must be drank, take half a gill at a time,
ui.mixed, and immediately drink large draughts of
water after it. For the fame reason, when a man
is crack brained enough to throw a fire brand into
a magazine of powder, .he cannot do better, than
to throw water upon the burning coals a* fact fc,
potiiblf.
Drink Switehel, that is, molaffw or maple fu.
lar mixed with water.
Diink whey, or milk and water, two-third* wa
ter—spruce or small bear.
Diink cider. Not boiled—if you would be
merry, but cider and water, if you would be
thy, happy and wife. The acid in cider i* the belt
preventive againll all putrid diforderi.
Drink vinegar and water so. the fame reason.

I want to know how'great, and infpcft your ac
: counts at the ti jidcis, if not iliento my ealculatien.
Sey the hay-season lasts, taking the after growth
into the calculation, one month, lay that you have
three hands to work—allow tbem each half a pint
of rtim each day. This will amount, by a tough
calculation, to lix gallons, which at twelve fhiHings
a gallon fur Wtll-lndti mm, would cost twelve dol
, lars, beftdcs (he expence of sugar. New-England
rum, it is true, would be something left, but bran
dy something more. Now the fuai of twelve dol
lars in thcfe hard times, w mid do many valuable
things for a farmer—it might purahafe three calves,
which would treble in two years. It would pay
the minifteiial, the town, the countj or state taxes
of a small farmer. It would buy many a comfort
able mattei for his wife whn (he blefles him with
the ri> h present of a sturdy boy, or healthy gid.
It might effect a valuable fwopin oxen, or perhaps
pay two or three small notes or accounts, or such
patt of them as may prevent the lawyer from mak
ing two or three bills of cot, each larger than the
original debt, and to save the favourite mare, or
the lik ly two year old colt, from being taken by
the fheriff, and fold for h.ilf their value at thepoft.
But some of you, fellow-labourers, drink strong
liquors when you work out as we do now, because
yoa fay they cost you nothing ; and you are ready
to call your employers stingy who wilh to discoun
tenance the use of spirits. You are millaken, my
friends, every gill of rum given to you by those,
who hire yoa, colls yo» much.
Sometimes it colls you a quarrel with your best
friends, fumetimes a bloody nose, or btoken limb,
and often n lawsuit, and ,bill of cost, or a fine up
on confi ffi.ui, before a juttice of the peace, tor as
sault an.l battety ; and often a long doctor's bill
for a disorder, which yru may riot, but the physi
cian knows arose from this very caufc of (hong li
quors. Sometimes it costs you the refpeft of your
t wnfmen j the regard of your children, and lo»e
of \ our wife. Sometimes your reputation is this
world, and I fear, your happiness in the next. Are
not these heavy colls, friends !

EXTRACTS
From a Journey into the Wellern Territory,in '94.
" From Albany, I proceeded to Schenectady, fif
teen miles by llage. Schenetlady is a handsomely
situated little town on the banks of the Mohawitj
river. At this place 1 took an open boat, naviga*
ted by three men, in which I pafied to Lake On
tario, without any other interruption than two (hort
portages, one at the little falls of half a mile, round
which they are now cutting a canal; the other of
one mile, at Fort Stanwix, about one hundred
miles well of Schetuflady ;at which place we leave
the Mohawk river, and defceud the torrent to 01-
«ne hundred miles mor'e to the weft, where
the British hold a poll at the entrance of Lake On
tario, commanded by a captain. The high price
which hatters' furs at prclent command in the Uni
ted States, is the only inducement 1 conceive for
fmuggliag pa ft the poll, for cxcept a few articles
imported from the Ealt Indies, 1 found the retail
(hops at Kingftonand Niagara, felling as low, and .
many articles, pafticularly woolens, lower than in
the city of Philadelphia*
From Ofwego, rclTels fail to Niagara, King-.
Hon, and other ports on the lake ; but fettlera
more frequently continue along the fouthfhoreof
the lake to Niagara, about one hundred and twen
ty miles in open boats ; finding a reffel here ready
to fail for Kingston, I embarked ia bef lor that
place, about ti houraiail.
