BO 1 FLES, blackor green, are tliemoftfim ple of all the glass manufacture—the profit in naking which depends upon the greatelt number of workmen being employed at the smallest ex ,:>enfe of fuel. From eight to sixteen blowers can work all at once, at one melting furnace, fix feet iiameter, which Mill take fixcordsof wood every wenty-four hours. The belt coiiftrufted green glafi furnace in this country is in New-Jersey— where the whole business of smelting, blowing, and cooling is done with one fire, by the particu lar conllrmftion of the furnace. WHI FE GLASS may also be made in the fame furnace : but it is much more curious in its com pofitio'n : for to make it white, it must partake ;>f all the colours—for this reason—in smelting the purest materials, they naturally have a green ish and purplish tinge ,• to dislodge which a black illi foffil fubltance is made use of—upon this prin ciple, that one colour in glass making will destroy another ; so that at last a beautiful glass is produ ced called -white ; but like the chriftaline humour of the eye, it partakes of all the colours, as may be fcen in the best Englilh white glass, which has a changeablenefs like soap bubbles ; but in the best London crown glass, or mirrours, you will not perceive any of that fpaikling, changeable power, because it would distort the object fefcn through or reflected, on account of the refracting power of such glass ; therefore this is made of pure salts and sand only and has a native greyifli colour, as maybe feenby the broken pieces that, like water, they may reflect the objeifts tru- Jy- CROWN GLASS may be made here to greater profit than any other glass—on account of the plenty and cheapness of materials—the quantity that can be made—and the great consumption of it.—The method of making which—form and di menfionsof the furnace—preparations of the ma terials—l lhall wave for particular reasons.

The King of Sweden has received the molt af fectionate addreHejfrom all parts ofliis kingdom, declaring how extremely ready the people are to second Uis willies for carrying 011 the war. The Finlanders have been particulaily forward, which is the more agreeable to his Majefly, as it was feared that these people would be gained over by the Empress of Rulua, their ancient Sovereign. She has not been wanting in promises towards tlieni, but they have been rejected.

The famous Abbe de Raynal is now living at Marleilles, in the 76th year of his age. He was requelted by that city to be their representative at the States General, but excused himfelfon ac count of his age and infiriuities. The following is an extract of a letter he wrote to the magistra cy, as an apology for not accepting their oiler : " GENTLEMEN, " I am now in my 76th year, and four months tedious sickness has deprived me of the small re mains of physical as well as moral strength of mind, which age had left me. The least reflec tion weakens my enfeebled nerves. You will from thence judge, that under these circumstan ces, I can neither fulfil the fundtionsof bein^your representative, with that dignity which is clue to you, or, if 1 may be allowed to fay it, to myfelf." Last week died Jervis Gibfon, Esq. senior al derman of Lincoln, aged 84. His death was oc casioned by taking poison through a mistake.— Having been in the medical line, he used to mix his own medicines ; and, intending to take some f ills, he ordered his servant to bring him a paper out of a drawer, part of the contents of which he mixed in warm water, and after drinking it off, on finding a sediment, he was alarmed, and oil examining the paper found he had taken corro- I five sublimate. The proper means were tried without efFeift, and he died in half an hour. The j coroner's inquest, on view of the body, bi ought in their verdict, accidental death. NEW-HAVEN, JULY IJ. The anniversary of Independence was cele brated here the 9th inft. by the Society of the Cincinnati.—After fele Independence appears adorned with new lustre. A correspondent obf'erves, that there are sever al circumstances which concur to embarrass the circulating medium of this city—one is the ex cess which is put 011 the value of French crowns— this conduces to the advantage,not of the citizens, but of ft angers, who makeaprofit of 1 pi. cent, upon all the crowns they biing here : This cir cumstance drives the change out of circulation, and the dollars out of the State. Another embarrailing circuniftance is the want of small bills of the paper money—none being is sued less than five lhillings : To diminish this dif ficulty, recourse was had to an expedient which has increased the evil—and that is the introduc tion of an iminenfe quantity of copper coin :— This arrived at last to such an abuse of the public confidence that their circulation 011 a sudden has aim oft ceased ; but to the cruel injury of many persons who fuffer by this sudden stagnation ; the injury is not much alleviated by being told that they must part with tlieir property at a loss of 200 pr. cent, some advertizing that tliey will take coppers at 60 to the shilling which have been cur. rent a 20.—These things ought not so to be.
