DEVONSHIRE, 
The following extraéts from the addrefs of 
a clergyman to hisparifhioners, in the neigh- 
bourhood of Torrington, after having read 
the king’s late proclamation recommending 
economy inthe ufe of bread, &c. may ferve 
to thew the idea entertained ae fearcity by the 
people of this county. £¢ From the inqui- 
ries I have made, from time'to time, and from 
‘ all the bee oh I have been able to cole 
le&t from different people, I have great rea- 
fon to think that the crops of corn in this. 
neighbourhood were far from deficient ; and 
confequently that the apprehenfion of fcarcity 
is, with us at leaft, rather imaginary than 
real. And this apprehenfion might be effec- 
tually done away, and the minds of the peo- 
ple fet at eafe, with’ regard thereto, if the 
farmers in the different patithes would bring 
forward their corn’ for fale in due feafon, as 
far as their convenience will admit, according 
_ to their refpeétive growths,—And furely, in 
the prefent cafe, we need not look for- 
ward with anxious folicitude, to future evil 
or want, as the late favourable feafon for til- 
ling, the extraordinary quantity of ground 
fown with wheat, and the good appearance it 
every where bears, afford a pleafing profpeé& 
of an abundant fupply for thenextyear. But 
in the mean time the price of all kinds of 
grain has-.advanced to an enormous height, 
(much beyond, I believe, what the farmers 
themfelves expeéted at the clofe of the lat 
harveft) tothe great grievance and fuffering 
of the lower ranks of people, efpecially the 
poor.—May it not, therefore, with fome rea- 
fon be expected, that the growers of corn in 
‘every parith, thowld fell ir_to their labourers 
and poor neighbours at fuch a fair and modes 
‘rate price, as they can well afford to fell it at, 
after avery good harveit, a crop not deficicnt,

It appears by an advertifement in the Exeter 
Flying Poff, that the farmers of Newton Fer 
rers, ¢¢ having taken into confideration the — 
blefiings of Providence afforded them in the 
late farveu:, * have agreed to fell prime bar- 
ley, tothe adieeoe poor of their own parith, 
at fix fhillings the bufhel, till the next har- 
veit. This refolution they publifh ag an ex- 
ample to others. The corn-growers in Sea- 
ton and Beer have alfo agreed to fell their 
barley to the poor at fix fhillings, and their 
wheat at twelve fhillings per bufhel. 
The city of Exeter have refolved to procure 
@ quantity of herrings from Scotland, for the 
{upply of the poor of that city and rete aur 
hood, the fubfeription for which purpofe is 
very confiderable’.
