In the year 1794 the amount of the ex- 

 poitsofthe United States was 33,016,233 

 dollars. In the courfe often years it has 

 increaied 10 more than double the amount 

 at that period ; and the whole increafe of 

 trade fnice the States cealed to be Britifli 

 colonies ha* been fuch as never btf re 

 took place in any country. The total 

 amount of the exports from the American 

 States to Great Britain in the year 1773 

 was 5,720,964 dollsrs ; the preient 

 amount to Great Britain and the Britifli 

 colonies appears by the foregoing (late, 

 ment to be 21,829,802 dollars, which 

 fliews a much greater increale than could 

 have heeu expefted had the States remain- 

 ed fubjefl to this country, although they 

 have at the lame time extended ibeir trade 

 to all other parts of the world.

I BEG leave to offer a few obfervations 

 on the Latin verfi^n of a paflTige in 

 Ifseiis's '< Oration in Defence of Euphik- 

 tus," as we have it in Hudlbn's edition 

 of Dionyfuis Halicarnaflenfis, vol. ii., p.

 lude more particularly to this, latter claufe, 

 but have inferted the preceding context to 

 fare the trouble of reference. The La- 

 tin verlioii is, " Qu^nd itaque, Judices,

 tantibus cognoviftis. Cunfiderate vero

 — " That they may derive fome benefit 

 from ths/e things v»hich are performed by 

 Athenians," exprelTes the orator's mean- 

 ing, if at all, very obliiurely indeed. — 

 Now Euphiletus fetsout very plainly with 

 obferving, that an Athenian may have 

 two motives for adopting a ftranger j one 

 is, the defne of children ; if we'll fup- 

 pofe, he is rich, and hare none lawfully 

 begotten of his own. The other motive, 

 he fays, may be poverty. But why fhould 

 a poor Athenian adopt children? — Of 

 ciirfe to (liare in the property of the 

 adopted fon, who obtains by this adop- 

 tion the freedom of Athens. A little at- 

 tention will difcover this fenfe in ihe ori- 

 ginal. I would therefore, inftead of the 

 latter clauie of the I,atin verfion, fubfti-
