This would be to exempt the poor from 
burthens, and throw them.on the rich, who 
it is with great shew of justice contended, 
bear a very disproportionate part of the in¬ 
direct taxation. There is littie chance that a 
Parliament of landed and monied men will 
ever pass this scheme into a law ; but it is, 
at all events, deserving* of their considera¬ 
tion, at a time when every man renders a 
public service who suggests a plausible 
means of extricating* the nation from its 
awful and still increasing* embarrassments. 
Novelty of system seems to be, at pre¬ 
sent, the primary recommendation to all 
elementary books. There is now an¬ 
nounced a third edition of an Introduction 
to Arithmetic , on a system never before 
published. It is accompanied by a Key. 
The new plan, as appears from an expla¬ 
nation, which the author calls his exeg’esis, 
is, that ail the questions are so contrived 
that the answers will be multiples of nine. 
A general view of the present state of 
the foreign slave trade, is given to the pub¬ 
lic by the Fifteenth Annual Report of 
the A frican Institution, and by an abstract 
of the information laid before the House of 
Commons on this subject; from the latter 
of which we iutend, next month, to lay 
some highly interesting extracts before 
our readers. It will be seen, with sorrow 
and indignation, that the Continental 
powers persist in a vigorous prosecution of 
this infamous traffic, and that the remon¬ 
strances madeby our government have been 
hitherto attended with little success. All 
prohibitory laws against this trade, in the 
words of Sir Geo. Collier, will become a 
mockery, unless our ships, employed on 
the African, coast, shall have the full powers 
of a belligerent, as to search, against slav¬ 
ing vessels. Looking at the abstract prin¬ 
ciple alone, we should say that no nation 
can sanction, or ought to protect, its sub¬ 
jects in carrying on a traffic contrary to 
the common rights of human nature; and 
that we should be justified in treating as 
pirates all vessels detected in the fact.
