In my attempt, the begin ning of 1796, soon after the publication of my address to the public on the monopoly of small farms, to get e(tabli(hed a Small Farm Society, by subscriptions of 100/ (hares, the meetings at tho London Tavern were but thinly attended ; it was found that powerful patronage was necessary to carry the propo sed plan into effett, and the ininider then wanting large sums of money, it v - as judged prudent by the few fubfcr.bers present to pollpnne their further attfe ipta till Peace. 1 had, however, the fatisfa&ion to find my plan With general approbation. From the information then obtaiued, and the communications made me from various parts, it appears, that within the lad iorty years there have been monopolized and con l'olidared intojarge farms upwards of 40,000 small ones, to the dcdru&ion of so many fa milies, belides cottages dependant on them ; but if 1 calculate them at 30,000, their an nual produce in live (lock only, independent of Grain'and hay, on the lowest poflible ave rage will (land thus:—6o,ooo calves, 300,000 lambs 300.000 pigs, 600,000 chic kens, and 4,500,000 lbs. ot butter, besides milk, cheele and eggs, leaving ge<;le, ducks, turkies, and pidgeons out of he calculation. Since the small farms have been consolida ted into large ones, it is believed (carce one fourth of the live (lock is produced, and \ t— ry probably not «r»re than three fourths the quantity of grain and hay—besides the small firms, the cottages which were attached to them generally railed some live Hock, which might alio be taken into the account. From these circuinilances I am induced to chilling Sir John Sinclair, and all the advocates for large farms, to prove that farms of 1000 acres each produce an equal quantity of grain, hiy and live (lock, and uip;>ort as many persons as ten small farms of 100 acres each (there were formerly nu merous farms of 40 and 50 acres) and un less they can prove tbis, my positions will itand good, that large farms are injurious and small ones highly beneficial to the com munity. For the advantage and happineft of the nation, I wilh to provoke a free dis cussion on the fubjefl, but Bot under the long black cloak of anonymous;) for it will bring truth to light—it will then be seen whether it is for the interest of the natien that the lands of Great Britain (hould be portioned out amongst a few opulent per sons, to the injury of the whole j and it will alio be fcen whether the Legiflrtters of our ancedors were guilty of folly in repeatedly and confirming laws for the pro teftion of the small farmer and the cottager, i or whether our modern Legislators have in- j jtired their country by repealing those laws, : forfince the repeal in 1768, of the atls of the 3d, 4th, sth, and 6:h ofßdward VI. the Id of Philip and Mary, sth of Eliza beth, sth of Charles 11, and sth of Queen Anne, those salutary laws which had (lood the ted of centuries againll badgers, engros sers, foredallers, and regraters, every spe cies of provilions have been rapidly advanc ing in priee. What do the large farmers in general raise, except grain and hay, more than fuf ficient for thrir own family use ? It is the fmatTfarmer and the cottager who week ly supply the markets, with small stock, —-tinfr<*r «nrl and too much encourage ment cannot be given to thetn. The immenfc number of enclosure which have for many years been taking place, under a bad system, I am fatisfied hare been injurious to the country. How many cot tagers have thereby been dispossessed of their much loved spots, and thrir offspring forced on the parilll for subsistence ! In lliort what has the country gained by mo nopoly, experiments and enclosures ! the answer is, almost a famine ! Humbled to solicit by large rewards, foreigh lands to supply us with bread, whereas we fsrmerly supplied them. I cannot too mueh impress on the minds of the corporation of the city of London, and of all the great cities and manufa&ur ing towns, the circuuiflances 3 for surely if ARMY. ever there was room to petition the throve or legifUture for redress ot' grievances, it is now, when they lo forcibly come home to every man's feeling. I inj Sir, RATI S B O N September 4. Notwith (landing the continuance of war like preparations on both fides, for the re newal of hostilities, all nopes for a peace able accommodation are not yet relinqaifh ed, since intelligence has been received, that on tht 30th ult. Come hours before the notice of the termination of the armillice arrived in the Imperial head quarters at Ok! Oettingen, another French courier, di teflly from Paris, had arived there, who, on being told that he could,not be fuffered to pursue his journey to Vienna, declared he would not deliver his dilpatclies, but would immediately return with them for Paris, upon which he was allowed to conti nue his journey, accompanied by an Auflri an officer. An Imperial courier, coming -from Vienna, nlfo hastened through Augf bourg on the 3 111 ult. for Paris. These circumltances keep :.live our hopes, that before the expiration of the armiflice, cn the 10th inft. a favourable change may take place and we are afTured from good authority, that Moreau had full powers, in i« this cafe, to discontinue hoflilities Lieutenant General Grenier, meanwhile, continues making the necefTary preparations in 'he left wing under his command. The day after to-morrow he will quit this city, and fix his head quarters, for the prefens, at Freyfing. The greater part of our gar rifon will alio leave us, which has already been the cafe this morning with some com panies of grenadiers; and we learn, that only a few hundred men are to remain here, under General Nejr. By mutual conCent, the gates of this city were thrown open yesterday morning, after they had been clo sed ever since the 29th ult. but the Impe rialists would not fuffer any provilions to be carried over from their fide, and but with great difficulty some waggons with mer chandize were fuffered to pass. At five o'clock the gates were (hut again, and fane, that time, the pofl only is permitted to gos which departs at five o'clock in the after noon. To day the General in Chief Mo reau arrived here, accompanied by eight of his life guards, and the chief of his Staff, General lieflolles. T«-inorrow he will pursue his journey to Straubing. FRANKFOR. r, *ept. 6. In our neighborhood hostilities will not commence to morrow, but on the loth instant. at fix o'clock in the even, ing in consequence of the arrival of a Captain of Szekler huflars, witu a letter from the Imperial Field Marflval Lieut. Simbfchen, that the general of Division Barbou. who commands in the absence of General Angereau, desiring that as in Bavaria, the armistice might continue three days ionger namely to the tothof Septemoer, ro which General Barbou, agreed, informing the Austrian Officer that he had already sent a Lieutenant Colonel to General Simbfchen, for the fame purpose. In the night from the 4th to the sth instant, the French marched from their cantonments in the vicinity of Wurzburg towards Mergen theim. General Simbchen, has his head quarters at Schweinfurt, where he waits for reinforcements. His corps is greatly weakened, since it has been left by the Mentz, armed peasants, the Mi litias of Franconia, and the Mentz troops of the line • About the 9th inft. tlx Ele&or of Bavaria is expedted to arrive at Bareuth, from Amburg, with a suit of 232 persons, for whose recep tion the palace and fourteen houses in the town are cxpe&ed, exclusive of those that will be wanted by the ambas sadors accompanying him. VIENNA, Sept. S. On the 31(1 of arrived here, ac companied by an Aullrian Officer, the fame French courier, who, in the winter be tween 1796 and 1797, paOcd three months in this city. He came lad from the head quarters of our army ir. Bavaria, the com mand of which, ad interim, has been taken by General Count Cellourah. Soon after his arrival, he delivered in his difpatche* to the department for FiKeign Affairs, and thence went to the quarters assigned him in the barracks of Salfgries. ' At the moment, therefore, when notice has been given on the part of the French, of the ceflation of the ariniftice on the 10th of September, difpatchei have been sent from Paris, on the answer to which every thing will depend. The modifications which were offeied, on our part, to the firft pro portions of Ronapartc, have been refufed at P.iris , and it is required that the firft preliminaries, with a very few alterations, lhall be accepted a*d ratified) or all farther uegociations will be broken off,Bc hoflilities recommenced. Immediately after the above-mentioned dispatches ware received, a Council of State was held. Our hopes of peace are now foinewhat revived. An offer will be made to the Archduke Charles of the command of the army in Ba varia, which is now entrusted, ad interim, to Count Collourath. It was before report ed that it would be commanded by the Pa latine of Hungary, and under him by Ge neral Lauer, Direttor ef the Corps of En gineers at Vienna. Another letter, same date. General Kray will retire with a pcnfion of 4,000 florins. Some other officers, it is' laid, will likewise leave the army. Orders have beer, sent to to sup ply the fortrcffes of that kingdom with pi'o vifions, artillery, and ammunition, as spee dily as poflible. Our State Paper fell S per cent, on the intelligence that the French had given no tice of the ending of the armiltice. An order has been publilhed to day, far all folaliers, both privates and officers to join their regiments and refpe&ive corps immediately. In Bohemia, the recruiting for the completion of the regiments is carried on with the greatest aftivity } besides which, every 20th man u taken for the militia. T. WRIGHT. Yesterday a full Council of State was held ; after the breaking up of which a courier was sent off for France ; this is considered as in some degree encouraging the hope of peace. The head-quarters of General Moreau will be removed in a few days to Mu nich. A deputation which had been sent from Munich to make representations to General Moreau, on account of a heavy requisition of bread, oxen. See. has obtained no redress ; as the centre of the French army is to form a camp in the vicinity of Munich- The recall of General Kray from the command of the army was notified to him in a (hort note under the Emperor's own hand. The following article appears in our Gazette ; —« Ihe appearances of an approaching peace are agaiu renewed. AH the French troops which were march, ing forwards from iiuabia have returned to the quarters which they left a few days since, and the armifticc is to be pro longed for some days. According to our Gazette, Ihould the war,contrary to expedition be renewed, certain foreign powers will take a dcci five part in it. it is probable, under the present circum(lances, that the notifica-. tion of the cefTation of the armistice on the part of the French, will contribute greatly to haflen a peace.
