Winter, that it may be in the ground

IV. Beans of various kinds : these
are treated as in England. 0
V. Potatoes, differing very little
from ours, and tasting something like
a chefnut. They are cultivatedTthus:
raiSe the ground in little hills, or high
furrows; about a Soot and ahajf over;
cut the potatoes into Small pieces, witfl
an eye in each ; plant 4 or $ of thefe)
in the head oS each hill; in a • short
time they will push out .shoots ; cut'

August, WitHift 7 or 8 inches of the;
ground; psant themdouble croSs-ways
on the tops ofthe hills ; the roots df
thefe shoots are excellent. , To keep
them in Winter, dry them in the Sun
as soon as they are dug up, and then
lay them in ^ cloSe and dry place, covering
them first with ashes, then with
dry mould. Ay

IX. Indigo. The grain of the indigo
isjpwn in a Soil prepared like a
gardeW: holes are made in a strait
line with a Small hoe a Soot asunder,
4 or 5 seeds are put in each hole, and
covered with earth : when the leaf^
which gives the blue called indigo, is
wholly expanded, it exactly resembles
that of the acacia. The shoots are cut
before the wood hardens, and while
they are green as the leaf,having, however,
a blueish cast, with a pruninghook
or strong fickle; indigo shoots
higher or lower, as the foil is better
or worse : the tuft of the sirft cutting
is generally about 8 inches high, the
second cutting sometimes rifes to a
foot: he that cuts it ought to Set hie
foot upon the root, to prevent its being
forced out ofthe earth, by its resistance
to the knife.
To prepare indigo from these tufts,
they arfc Soaked in water and macerated

woman, who loved her hushand's honour
and interest, Would receive the
shameful news. But her sorrow was
filent, and her tongue never uttered a
iy liable that savoured of complaining,
or that reflected upon her consort: on
the contrary, she was at great pains to
(often her brother, who highly honoured
her, and had a proportionable
resentment of her wrongs: " Antony,
she Said, among many valuable
qualities, bad. an unhappy{weaknefs
with respect to women, and was unluckily
fallen into a very artful one's
hands -from whence, however,with
his (her brother's) assistance, she hoped
once more to recover him; and,
therefore, if he would be pjeafed to
let her have a body of men fit to recruit
Antony's life-guards,with cloaths
for his army, and proper presents for
Ins favourites, she was resolyed to undertake
.journey tb her fpdufa, and
do heaf utmost to prevent the terribleconsequences,
which his prefent
fcoufSe of life threatened to bring on
her and the Roman state." Cefar, with
' redoubled admiration of his filler's
r^^he^and'detestation of the man who
1 could abuse fo much (weetnefs, gave
way tOherfollicitations ; and Octavia
having, with'the helpof Domitiusand
Pollio, picked out two thousand choice
mo, richly armed, and provided stores
of clothing and magnificent presents,
fet fail in the Spring from the Tiber,
v *nd steered towards Athens.
The newsofher approach, and intended
meeting with her hushand,
threw Cleopatra into racking disquiet:
ihe dreaded every thing from foaccomplished
a rival—-the charms of her
person, the fweetnefs of her temper
•nd mariners, heightened by the fairest
character, and backed by the weight
of her brother's pouter :-4r-ff, along
with these, she should have £ccefs to,
employ the melting endealrments of the
conjugal irate, she made no doubt of
herreclaiming Antony, and that she
herself must be finally undone : wherefore,
to prevent their meeting, ifpbTuble,
cuaaing queeq laid aside her
mirth and frolics—she quitted by degrees
the rakish manners that had formerly
captivated the triumvir, and now
affumed a foft, languishing air, like a
virgin deeply in love ;—she brought
down her bndy with thin diet—looked
faintish and pale—took care to be ofr
ten catched in te^rs, which she pretended
to be anxious to hide.—She
gazed on her lover With wonder,when
he entered her apartment, and her
ohedient eyes fuffufed and melted as
he was going away: at the fame time
persons of a certain trade, never wanting
about coutrs, hefet him inceffantly,
in behalf of their incomparable lady,
and obfequiouflypresumed to chide him
for ingratitude.—" Could he he So
ihard hearted and barbarous, as to abandon
a princefs who lived upon his
Smile—who hed given herSeif wholly
up to his pleaSure—who, though a
great queen, and born to command nations,thought
her most glorious title to
he Antony's miftrefs—So she could but
See his face and enjoy his company—
but who, if driven from his presence,
and left forlorn, would moll assuredly
put an end to her days hefore his return."
In short, ihefe trufty instruments
so wrought Upon bis weaknefs,
that immediately after touching at Syria,
he wrote to his wife, not to advance
farther than . Athens, as he was
obliged to repafs Into Armenia on a
fresh expedition against the Parthians;
and then, though his acpiy was assembled,
and, upon Polerao's fuccefsful
negociation and SeaSonable news, im-
mense preparatipns were made, yet
he finally threw up the expedition—disappointed
his new ally, the Median
prince, and hasted back to Alexandria,
left Cleopatra should die of* grief, or
do some violent thing in his absence.
This was the fatal step that hurried
him to his ruin:—he lost the fairest opportunity
of acquiring immortal glory
by the conquest of the Parthian etripire,
and could scarce avoid a breach
with his collegue after fuch contempt
poured on his sifter, nor a consequent
;jfival war. 7 "K*' f *

I by Aquilius Niger, the fame, I fupu

THE events of the war in Germany,
tho its object was not more
interesting than that in Portugal, Seem
to rank far before the actions of the ;
latter in dignity and importance.
They naturally occupy the firft place,
and justify a more minute detail in a
history of military operations. It is in
Germany that the great efforts of all

fought; and, 09 this theatre, the great
commanders gave a full scope tp their
genius. Germany seems, as it were,
the natural foil of hostility; but Portugal,
which had long languished in ,
a tranquil obseurity, could fcarce furnish
out a faint image of war.

A}1 the hope of Portugal was
centered in England, for whofe fake,
and in whose quarrel she had been
drawn into this unequal conteft. The
greater the weaknefs of Portugal was,
the more conspicuous were the mag-*
nanimity and resources of Great Britain,
who made, in the .close of fo ex-,
pensive and ruinous a war, fuch aftonishing
efforts, and who was in a condition
by her ftrength to prop up, at
leaft for a time, fo very feeble a (y—
ftem. She Sent to Portugal, officers,
troops, artillery, arms, military (lores,
provisions and money, every thing
which could enable the Portuguese to
exert their natural ftrength, and every
thing which could Supply that ftrength -
where it was deficient.
When the Bourbon court made
war againft Portugal, the declared
object was to prevent Great Britain
from the military and commercial use >
of the ports of that kingdom. As it
was impossible to attain this object by
naval operations, they attempted it by
military ones, and aimed, their principal
endeavours at the two great ports,
to which the English principally resort, t
Oporto and Liibon. The possession
of thefe two objects would probebly
have finished the war in their favour *
the possession of either of them would,
have given them the moft decisive ad*
vantages in it. With this view three
inroads were to he mnde, one to the
north, another was proposed *more to
the south, whilft the third*was made
in the middle provinces, in order ta .
sustain thefe two bndies, and preserve
the communication between them.

there is the road to preferment. Every
preferment creates a dependant ,
and every dependant is obsequious to

Scots, the English muft become dependants
on them. Law's would he

would sill the'fleet with officers of

the acceffion of the Brunfwick line,
had fo pompously dreft out in passive
obedience and non-refiftance. It was
an eafy circumstance, and did not require
the gift of prophecy, to foretell
that a person so educated, could have

country, whose importance was arretted
in proportion to the wretchedness
ofhis own. The event fully justified
the most alarming of our apprehensions.

his transactions, was (if we are to distinguish
it by no harsher name) shamesully

accrued from this important acquisition,
unlefs we name the Sum which
was paid by the inhabitants to preserve
them from plunder ? The ransom
money was scarcely sufficient to defray
the expence of the expedition, fo that
all we have hitherto reaped by this

brave fellows* who, hnd they no other

Bishop Jewell, preaching before that
royal lump of petulance and pedantry,
James I. declared, in the full presence
of the congregation, that his majeftp
always employed his pen on subjects
worthy of a great prince, and never
fpoke without the assistance of the divine
Spirit of Gnd. His majefty's
works were, a treatise to discover
witches, arguments for profaning the
holy Sabbeth ; and love letters to the
duke of Buckingham! In one of these
he fays, " My dear Stenny (his familiar
name for the duke) come hither to
Birelyby supper time, that your white
teeth may shine upon me." A censorious
writer would be apt, from this,
to conclude, that the gond kins, that
dory of the Stuarts, was sensible of
beauty out of the proper sex, and desirous
of gratifying fo juft and natural
an inclination. I don't find, notwithstanding
the bishop'saffertion, that the
king's conversation breathed a greater
air of divinity than his writj^gs. -He
employed the principal part of it in
capping verses with the ftatefmen, and
discoursing with the old ladies of the
court about the diftempers incident to
children; fuch as, the rackets, and
cutting of the teeth ; yet James was
the Smomon of his tinle; and never
spoke without the immndiate Spirit of
Gnd I " Kings, says a mnddrn writer,
poflefs all the virtues of course, tbo'
it muft he pleasant enough to hear
.Charles II. (who hnd no religion at all)
called the moft pious of princes, and
his worthy fucceflor (who was a rank

Faith."

then what they have permitted us to

what is this, but getting a calf of

by his death, was relieved from

it is , true, drew

In the next reign, the bloffoms 'of
liberty were nearly blasted by a Scot
favourite, the duke of Lauderdale.

fury, la a few years, however,

arrogance to reriirn; but the shortness
of his ftay, which the universal complains
of the people were the M»tfe
of, afforded a striking instance rfehe
difference between a nation of freemen
and a kingdom of slaves. Nevertheless,
before he took hie flitf' departure,
he taught that weak monarch,
Charles II. to imagine it was possible
to discern a difference,'which in truth
cannot exist, between the honour of
the crown, and the intereft of the subject
; and persuaded that unthinking

family of the Stuarts, entailed on that,
haughty house all thofe various misfortunes
which, in the end, involved
them in one general ruin ; drove
thotn from their heteditary possessions;
and utterly, and for ever, annihilated
their regal power. An inftance fo

time, remain an indelible proof of the
beneful tendency of Scottish counsels,
the mifchievous consequences of Scottish
tenets, and place, in the detefted
point of light it ought to be viewed,
that hellish thesis which may not be
unaptly termed, Lauderdale's laft Legacy

was a Scotfman.
James the II. who succeeded his
brother Charles, was an avowed Roman
Catholic, and governnd by his favourite,
Father Peters , -the queen (aa
Italian princess of the faeufa of Modena)

that power, with him. These two had
an unlimited ascendency over the king;

the 1 treatment of the person is of very
little consequence : the loss of liberty
cannot have a value fet upon it; and
it is a matter of public jnftice to fix
an example that (hall make the law
known. It is true, faid my friend,
the loss of liberty is the greateft of all
misfortunes: But are there no degrees
i» this injury ? - f have known a jury
give no more damages than 300I. to
a man who had heen kidnapped and
fent to the Weft Indies to he fold for
seven years. The injury is greater or
lefs, according to the circamftancesof
the confinement , and,as you state it, •
the plaintiff has had aholyday, instead
of being injurnd byhis detention; and,
in fuch a cafe,the extent of the damag- i
es (hews more z^al than judgment;
and atnore Sober verdict / would have
been 'more respected, as an example
to make the law known. *
Upon this I took the liberty to
beeak in, and desired my ftiend to inform
me what he took to be the point
whidi this verdict would determine.
This verdict, faid he, can determine
no other point but this. That when,
in the execution of a warrant, a wrong
person happens to be taken up,1 he is
entitled to fome reparation from him o
by whofe mistake he has been apprehended.
I beg pardon, faid the visitor,
but it feems to me that it does
also determine, that no person what-
ever can be taken upon mere suspicion. * J

No, Said Mr, —you miftake; that
point is not determined by it Whether,
upon the circumstances of this
cafe, there was, or was hot, a reasonable
cause of suspicion, is, by you r account
still aqueftionto be argund upon

it should be determined ultimately, aa'
the jury inclined to think, that the circumftances
in this case do not amount
to a reasonable caufe of ^suspicion, it
will by no means follow from thence

subject of the quarrel drew his reSentmeat

him upiri prison, under pretence of

*, Taffo found means to escape from
thisconfinment, after having suffered
jtaheutayear, and being now about
34. years of age, retired to Turin,
arhere he was foon; known and recommended
to the duke of Savoy, who
l^ejved hip many marks qf esteem and
afffection; but Taffo fearing that the
duke of Ferrara would require him to
.be delivered up, and that the then
dujce of SayqY would ehaofe rather to
com{4y; $han forfeit the friendship of
that prince, precipitately set out for
Rome alone, and Withbut proper necessaries
for such a journey.
He got safe, however, to Rome,
latere he went directly to his friend
Manriuo^Cataneo, who received him
With great kindness, and the whole
city seemed to rejoice at the presence
of fo extraordinary a person. He was
vifyed by. princes, cardinals, prelates,

he pretended to hart a message from

gave her a letter which-hehad prepared
for that purpose: this letter
informed her that his life was in great
danger, and intreated her to use all
her interest to procure the interposition
of fome powerful perfon in his Savour,
referring to the messenger for
farther particulars. The lady immediately
applied to him for these particulars,
with all the earneftnefs and
Solicitude oS a sincere and tender affection,
and he'gave herfo touching an
account of bis Supposed misfortunes,
that* u na ble to Sustain her affliction,

It appears, however, that, whatever

to make his peaCe with the duke,
