IT may look like a contradiction in terms, to fay that a man muftltrivc hard to act with sim plicity. Art is perhaps never used to better effect than in concealing art, except when it is used to counteract it. The forceof simplicity is so great, that whoever adheres to if, will be deemed wor thy of imitation ; but still he cannot ealiiy be imitated, Those who take delight in viewing fnbjects by the fair rays of truth, and to make their actions correspond with the dictates of nil mingled propriety, mud; engage in a perpetual conflict with prejudice, fancy, and falfhood.— There are coxcombs in all profeffions ; men who pre:end to something more than they deserve ; jnen who only can derive consequence by giving a specious coloring to the garb of affectation.— There are quacks in all arts, who are supposed to poflefs knowledge in thii.gs which they do not understand. Such coxcombs and quacks will en deavor to establish falfe rules of propriety, which mud be detected and opposed by all, who prefer real knowledge to boaftcd pretentions; and who delight in the pyre images of nature, more than the capricious fictions of art. The term simple is often used as fynonimous to wrak or (illy; and this abates the force of it, when used in its more proper sense, which is to express the real, unmixed character of a thing. Those who attempt to strip a fubjedt of all falfe ap pearances,have a great talk to perform, bur if they acronipli/b ir their fnbors are well lewnrded.— There are few men so attached ro error, but tlu-y ■will soon prefer truth, when it is fairly pointed out ; there are still many men who prefer their own errors to those of other people. But let them ouce behold the simplicity of truth, and its charms can hardly be resisted. The gr«ater part of inan ksnd are conflantly engaged, from habit or pro ieflion, in giving a fictitious value and a fictitious character to moit of the appearances which aie exhibited to the view of the world. How few of the plausible representations, to which our atten tion is called, will bear to be ftridlly compared with a (late of facts ! How many of the elabor ate fyfteins which are perplexing the votaries of science, must vanifli intofnoke, if the principles on which they are built, were faithfully tried by the standard of truth and reason. For when ever they are brought in competition, nature will be found more powerful than fiction ; nor will the fuggellions of caprice and prejudice be listen ed to, when ti uth, single and unalloyed, makes its appeal to the heart.

A Mr. Dunconibe, to whose abilitiesthe world is greatly indebted, and who is engineer to the in tended canal forming a junction of the Severn and the Dee, has invented a method os-railing boats of any tonnage to the highelt summit whatever, and letting down the lame without loss of water, with perfeftfafety, and more expedition than by the common water locks now in use. What is more remarkable, aloaded or unloaded boat may come up, while a loaded one goes down, and the fame maybe done while an empty one goes down. The whole is performed by an uniform unaccele rated motion, and is perhaps one of the greatest inventions that ever entered the mind of a man.

NEW-YORK, JULY 3, 1790 MR. FENNO, From the English letter in your last paper, it appears evidently, that the people of Great-Bri tain, from the Merchant to theMinifter, forefee lng the advantagds that will accrue to America from a proper attention to, and support of her {hipping interelt, are determined if polfible, to defeat our expectations, and to throw every ob ftaclein the way, to prevent our success. The deep laid scheme of reducing the freight's for a time, till they have annihilated the Ameri can {hipping, is to make the southern States pay dearly in tlte result for their credulity, and inat tention to the gen-eral welfare of the States of which they are members. The diftiniftion be tween apprentices and mariners, is palpably de signed to counteract a most ejlential mode of raising American fearnen ; and to prevent our continuing to enjoy that triflng /hare of the trade to Britain, which we now pofl'efs. To these ob ; fervations may be added the following—That if the carrying trade was lccured to American citi zens, the profits thereon, even at the present low freights, are fufficient to allure monied men to place tkeir cash in (hipping—and as a proof that Great-Britain cannot afford to carry our produce on the fame terms that America can, if the trade was secured to herfelf, the following example is adduced as demonstrative. The Brig ———is allowed to be as strong a veflel as ever entered the Thames, and fails fait —Ihe inealures upwards of 300 tons, carries 600 hogsheads, and cost £3,253 si 3 di l i, Virginia cur rency—having the advantage of a freight to Eu rope as soon as fitted, the earned on her firft voyage £.965 14 11 Sterl.—Her second voyage will pro bably produce £.970 Sterl. — That will be £ 1935 14 11 within the year— and if as well employed will be a clear ihip in i years. A Britilh Ihip of the fame burthen, and as good, would coll at Brillol, Whitehaven, or London, from 13 pounds, to 13 guineas, pr. ton, or £. 5660 4 Virginia currency 14 people, of which y maybe 'prentices, are fufHcient forfnch a ve(l«l—which can fail 011 as low tefins as any Britifhlhip; reckoning theintereft and insurance on each, it will be found to take double the time to clear a Britilh Ihip, that it will to clear an A merican—and when the latter are built faithful ly out of young seasoned timber will last near, or full as long. Accounts fruin Cadiz, via Baltimore, inform that the Spaniards have 40 fail of the line, be lides a large number of frigates equipt for sea and that a declaration of war was hourly expedled.

The Legislature of Mafl'achufetts has adjourn ed.—Certain inftru&ions to their Senators ia Congress on Qompenfations, Salaries and Pensi ons, were reported—and referred to the next felfion.
