half an hour, without the aid oi acids of any sort, either 

 dephlogisticated or otherv/ise, or alkalis. He was far- 

 ther afsured that the Kiocefs was extremely cheap and 

 easy: and upon examination he perceived that the strength 

 of the materials was not sensibly impaired by the procefs. 



In a ftiort while he will be at liberty to communicate 

 farther particulars respecting this useful discovery. At 

 present the above is all he is permitted to say. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



The communication by Bsmgnui a received, and fhall be attended to. 

 The future correspondence of this g-iitleman will be very acceptable. 



The hints respecting ambafsadoi Lockhart are thankfully received. 

 The Editor will thank any of h.s readers for whatever authentic memoirs 

 they can furnilh respecting this dist nguiflied character. 

 ■ The observations of a schotlmMster pro tempore, are received, and ihoulj 

 have readily had a place, were u not for their great length, and the fear 

 that they mighi lead to a long dsculsi m, that would prove uninteresting 

 to roost of the readers of the Bee. The Editor indeed regrets that he was 

 jnadvertentlv induced to give a pla'e to the former observations on that 

 h^ad, as he perceives they would give rise to long altercations which he is 

 determined as much as pofsible to aroH. Should any thing fhort, and 

 particularly conclusive, on that side of the question, appear, it Ihall be in- 

 serted as a final close to that d sculs.on. 



The above will equally apply to the communication hy c Ivaer bf aur 

 young Scots, for whose opinions the Editor h:is a great respect. This ela- 

 borate efsay would, indeed, be much better suited to form a pamphlet by 

 itself, than a pap r in a periodic-1 work. As a separate publication, it 

 might be read with profit by many persons who have the v.elfare of this 

 country at heart. The manuscript will be preserver for the use of xhz 

 author, if ever he Ihould choose to demand it. 



The Editor rejrets, that Jubiter Juitke Ihould have put himself to so 

 much trouble in transcribing so much of a performance that he can make 

 r.o use of. The Bee fhall never be employed for propagating scandal, or 

 encourngi-g lubricity. 



Valeria is rfeceive J ; as also the curious remarks on the Chinese language. 



The beneficent cftus.on of L?i«rfl//J is received. He will observe thaS 

 jt has been in some measure anticipated by some papers lately inserted in 

 the Bee. We must not dwell too l»ng on any one subject. He forgot to 

 pay the postage of h'.s letter. 



The letter t>> Hortiniiai came to hand, and fiiall be duly attended to. 



The performance oi Cnatho is received, and ihall not be overloo.ked. 



The anonymous publication on the borough reform is received. This is 

 a sjbject the Editor wifhes to avoid, for the s.ime reason as he lias avoid- 

 ed many other popular topics, because he fears it might give rite to warm 

 and acrimonious altercations. The Editor, however, entertains great re- 

 spect for the intentions of the writer^
