Attemps were accordingly made to discover the tricci of the signatures which were wanting, but without success. The writing in Bengal Ink, which resembles the kind of ink used bj the natives of China, temained uninjured but what had been written in English ink, a kind used by the res idents in Bengal, composed of sutpnie oi tron and acid, had entirely disappeared.

The subscriber has engaged a first rate Mill er to attend to his business after the 15th day of Dec. next, who will put into the hopper all demands which may be due at that time. The Mill is 60 constructed, that any note or account, which may be put into the hopper, will come out an execution; which, by another process, will be put into the hands of an ofikcr, and the loll, which will be taken by the miller and officer, will probably, in most cases,coneume the original grist. Notes of lone standing will be put in firet, afterwards those of more recent

date, and so on, until every man who owes rrn a dollar shall see the edicts of a patent mill.
