cheap by the Grofs or Dozen p l&ewife Primers by 
tbe Grofs cr Dozer, and a Variety of other Bocks, to be 
Sold by the Prinler hereof. BESIDES other things that will happen this year, 
there will be a tranfit of Mercury the fecond day of 
November, in the afternoon ; and as Mercury will but 
juft touch upon the inferior limb of the fun, thereby re. 
! quiring a more delicate calculation, I have taken no final] 
Ipaias in collcfting the elements of Mercury’s motion, in 
order that the calculation may be rendered pretty correft; 
and in order thereto, I have availed myfelf of the obferva 
lions made of the tranfrt of Mercury, the g,:h day cf No- 
vember, 1769, by tbe Philofophical Society in the city of 
Philadelphia. 
The worthy gentleman who drew up the account of the 
obfervatio s, fays, that the Apparent time of the ecliptic 
conjunction, at Philadelphia, wa» * $h. izm. 46,5 fee. 
at which time, fsyi he, the place of the fun was 7 t. 
17 dfg. 50 m. 41 fee. and the place of Mercury, from 
Halley’s table, 1 s. 17 deg. 50 m. 41 fee. and as he 
had found from a calculation, which he made frem the 
obferva ions, that the afeerding node of Mercury was 
2 deg 15 m. 12 fee. from the place of Mercury, he con- 
cludes the place of the node at that time to be 1 s. 
15 deg. 35 m. 29 fee.—Here it will not be improper to 
obferve, that the fun’s place, there mentioned, included 
in it the equation to the tquinettial points, which by no 
means ought to have been ; but the place cf the fun (houla 
have been computed from the mean equinoctial point, 
which at that time was X 7 s. 17 deg. 30 m. 25,7 fee. 
ard, by obfervatior, the place of Mercury was in the op. 
polite point § is. 17 deg. 50 m. 25;,7 fee. but from a cal- 
culation which I very carefully made, from Halley’s ta- 
bles, the place of Mercury, from the mean equinox, 
was then 1 s. 17 deg. 50 m.4,7 fee. From which it ap- 
pears that the mean motion of Mercury ,by the tables, is 21 
* 7"be equation of time then was—r $»< 49,6ftc. ana

Mercury frtm the node, tbe remainder is. 35 m. 
13,5 fee. was the dace of tbe rode. fee. flower that by ©bfsrvation. This I have added |r> the 
mean motion of Mercury collected from the tables. Hav- 
ing thus obtained the elements, which I believe to be pret- 
ty correft, I have made the following calculator, and 
conclude, that the fecond of November, 1776, 
Mercury will firft touch h. „ „ 
the funr* limb at 4 25 25,2 
And make its neared approach 
to the center of the fun at 5 9 26,8

tic 8 deg. 23 m. 48 fee, the nested approach of their 
centers 15 m. 41,7 fee. the hourly motion cf Mercury, as 
feen fr m he fun, 14 m. 54,8 fee. and the hourlv motion 
of the fun 2 m. 30,5 fee, the difference, 12 m. 24,3 fee. 
is ’he hourly motion of Mercury from the fun; but as 
viewed front 'the earth is 5 m. 8083. The apparent 
f,-mi diameter of the fan 16 nrr, 11,8 fee. and that of Mer* 
ury 4,2 fee. theplace of the fan from the m an equinoc- 
tial point at the time of the ecliptic cor jurdti a will be f 
7 s. 11 deg. 4 m. 19 fee. and the place of Mercury in ihc 
t’Doofiie poio'. 
It mav be remembered, that if the latitude of Mercury 
Ihould d ffer ever fo few fecor ds from what i» give* in the 
above calculation, it will caufe a material d>ff re ce in the 
duration (and cor?ff quently in the time cf the beginning 
and end) cf the traetftt; the reafon of which will be

ed, and great number* of them cot to piece?, A ferjeant, 
being t ken priforer by the Spaniftt Indians was refe-ved 1

rid tortures that attended him, being well acquainted with 
'he Indian language, from f me years refidence in Geor- 
gia, with equal piaufibility and refolution, addreffed the 
Unrelenting barbarians in a fpeech to the following purport: 
** Heroes and patriarchs of the new world, you were not 
‘he enemies I fought to meet; you have, however, gained 
‘he vjftory. Make what ofe of it you thick fit. The 
fate of war hath delivered me into your hands, and I dif- 
P°te not your right : But, Since it is the cuftom of my

Propofition which is not to be reje&ed. Know then, brave 
Americans! that in the country which gave me birth, 
Jhere are certain men endowed with fupernatural know-

Save me, when I became a foldier, a charm, which was 
reader me invulnerable. You faw how I efcaped all 
*°ur darts; without that enchantment, was it poflible I 
hould have furvived the many hard blows with which you 
'foiled me? I-appeal to your vabur : Did I either feek 
fQr eafe, or fly from danger? It is not fo much my life that 
* low beg of you, as the glory of revealing a fecret of im 
P°rtance to your preservation, and of rendering the m< ft 
Valiam nation in the world immortal. Only leave one of 
hands at liberty, for the ceremonfes of the enchant* 
1T)«nt: I will give a ptoof of its power upon myfelf in your

Indians hearkened with avidity to a fpeech that 
Suited their warlike difpofttioo, and their incline* 
,,0n towards the marvelous. After a Ihort deliberation 
*"ey loofed one of the ptifoner’s arms. The Scotchman 
r®fluefted that his broadfv?ord fhould be given tc the mod 
? er* and moft vigorous perfon in the iffembly ; and laying 
P*re his neck, after he had rubbed it over with magic 
j8m, and muttered a few inarticulate words, he called 
ftt,» with a loud voice and chearful air, 
. " Behold ye now, fage Indians! an tnconteftible evi- 
nce of my finctrity. You, warrior, who grafp the in- 
iru«»ier.t of death, ftrike with your whole force; you are 
°nly unable to Sever my head from my body, but even 
P**rce the (kin of my neck!” He had Scarcely pre- 
thefe word*, when the Indian, fetching a m ft 
‘eadful blow, made the head of the Serjeant fly to the di* Ranee of twenty yards. The aftontlhed lavages itood lm-j 
movable. They locked at the bloody carcafe, and then! 
call their eyes upon therofelves, as if to reproach one ano- 
ther fer their ftupid credulity ; admiring, however, the 
ftratagem employed by the ftrarger to Ihorten his death, 
and to avoid the torments that were prepared for him. 
They granted to his corpfe the funeral honors of their 
country.

ACcordtng to the la elf geographers, this country is in 
le< g'h 3co miles, in breadth 200 miles, and lies 
i»et«.een 6; and 81 degrees of wefl longitude, and 45 and] 
52 degrees north latitude. 
Tne French (before the late deteflable Quebec bill was 
adapted by a corrupt adminiftraticr) took into this pro-j 
vine* a much larger extent of territory than fh : j 
Thev took in part of Nova-Scotia, New-England and( 
New-York on the eafl, and extended it as far as the Paci-j 
fic Oc an on the weft. 
Th ugh the climate of this proyince is cold, yet the 
land is g od and fertile. Wheat, barley, rye, with 
forti of grain, fruits and vegetable?, ate produced ; tobac- 
co in particular thrives, a d is much cultivated. 
The tapi al city is Quebec, fuprefed to contain 12 or 
I 000 inhabitants. Its latitude is 46 deg. 5 5 mtn. n r*b,1 
a d long. 69 deg. 48 min. weft. 170 miles further up the 
river is an fld, on w-hich ftand* Montreal, and is f»id 
bi travellers to be nearly a* large as Quebec. N ir Que- 
bec is a fit e leaden mine, atd in the mountains filver has 
been found,, but I believe no great profit has been had 
fr m it. • '✓ 
The Roman Catholic religion is the eftabl f«-d religion 
cf this pr vince. This eftablifhment *•a made sn the in- 
glorious reign of George the third, by which means he 
expefied to have fubj ga ed his people in the American 
colonies, and to have raffed a vaft revenue from their honeft 
induftry. 
Tbt Sheep and tht Bramble-Bush, 
A Thick-trifled brake, in the time of a ftorm3 
Seem’d kindly to cover a fheep : 
So fn -g, for a while, he lay Shelter’d and warm, 
It quietly fooih’d him to deep. 
The clouds are row fcatter’d—the winds are aft peace, 
The (heep’a to his pafture inclin’d ; 
But ah ! the fell thicket lays hold of hit fleece, 
His coat is left forfeit behind. 
My friend, who the thicket of law never try’d, 
Confider before you get in, 
Tho’ judgment and fentence are pafs’d on your fide, 
By Jive, yon’ll be fleec’d to your fkin. H U M A N 1 T Y. ' 
A H me! how little knows the human heart 
The pleafing talk of foft’ning others woe, 
Stranger »; Joys that pity can impart, 
And tears fweet fjir.pathy can teach to flow. 
Jf e’er I’ve mourn’d my humble, lowly Hate, 
1 If e’er I’ve bow’d my knee «i Fortune’s Ihrice, 
If e’er a wifh efcap’d me to be grea*, 
fi The fervent pray’r, Humanity, was thine. 
Can the loud laugh, the mirth-infpiring bowl, 
The daree, or chorai fong. or jocund glee, 
the glowing, fympath’zing foul, 
' Qr warm the bread, Humanity, like thce| 
The pallid coward’s hesrt hou fcom’fl to bear, 
* Thy feat’s the gen’rou? bofom of the brave 5 
The fast® bold wartp h that bids the valiant dare, 
* Bids him the trespbli g, pybftrate victim fav$» 
Shall muid’rous c t queft paint the path to fame f 
S all fcir.es.of ravage dill employ the mufe?

7 The palm to her fhall lt:ll the fang refufe f 
Ah no! the prowefs of the hero’s fwerd, 
When but to rapine and to wafte confin’d, 
The lhouts of triumph can no name rfford,
