SIR,- 
Wo Requeit you will allow me afew woids 
Lou pen the fubject & ef grain in thts coun. 
try, and to point out what I conceive to 
e the duty of the executive authority re- 
lative thereto ; fince it is a fubject that, at 
the preient neniods claims the attention cf 
every ind.vidual 5 and about which, it may 
be prefumed, all ae ina particular man 
ner feel themfelves concerned. 
In the northern counties they have only 
very lst tely houted their corn, and the har- 
vee weather hasnot only been, in general, 
uniformly inconvenient and detrimental to 
the farmer, and the crops have been badiy 
ae ; buc I fear they will not yield upon 
tne whole under the flail more than half 
the quantity of corn they formerly did, 
when the fummer was favourable and the 
crops fconer cut. Bread is now above 
one Palin dearer than it was in 3795 and 
1796, when fo much f{carcity prev railed ; 
what then may we expect to be the ene 
before another harveft, unlefs timely and. 
proper regulations be admiviftered, and 
economical arrangements immediately 
take place ! ee
