POLYAUTOGRAPHY.
A recent London publication mention* a
new invention for taking imprefftons of o
riginal drawings j and of which fpecimeng
have been publilhed in London, The draw,
ing is made on a stone with a pen and liqiiid
rcicrabling Indian ink, or with a compofiti
•n not unlike French or Indian chalk ; and
by a simple chemical process, this simple
drawing is rendered capable of yielding an
indefinite number of impreflions without tho
interference of the graver or any other inftro
ment. Thus, a drawing tray be multiplied,
without losing in the fmallclt degree, that
spirit of f reedom, and those nicer charaftcr
■iilic touches which confti tote the great merit
of an original design & diflinguifh it from a
copy. The inventor is a German named Aloys
Sthff.’ndir. A patent has b(,T& obtained toe
the invention.
Recipe preventing RuJJ ,
Citi/en Conte has communicated to the
society for the encouragement of national in
dufiry the new proccfs to prevent the effedts
of roll and oxidation cf metals, which he
con fide nas far more pradticable and simple,
than any other method as yet difeovered.
“Take fame of that varnish which the French
call varnis grasal* huiet, of which the basis
is gum copal; the whitest that can be found
is the most proper. Let the e(fence of tur
pentine well rectified be mixed with this in
proportions of from one and a half to four
fifths, according to the degree in which it is
intended that the pieces to be preserved should
retain their metallic brilliancy. The metal
is in the firft place to be wiped with a piece
of cloth or leather strongly impregnated with
alkali, then washed in pure water. and af
terwards rubbed dry with a iinxicn cKnh,
Take a bitoffinefponge, letitbefiift wash
ed in water and afterward* in eflcnce of tur
pentine, to extraft the water: put a little
of the above varnish in a vcffcl, and then place
the sponge in the midst of it till the whole is
imbibed. Let the sponge be fqueczcd be
tween the fingers till it bas difeharged near
ly all the varnifn contained in it; let it then
be slightly rubbed over the barrel of a gun or
any other piece cf metal, taking care not to
repeat this whtn the efiencc has evaporated,
which would render the varnish rough and
of unequal tint j let the metal then be dried
in a place fecutc from dull.”—Citizen Con.
c ohfmcs that he has employed this process
with success and that experience has proved
that pieces thus varnished, under every cir
cumftancc, preserve their metallic brilliancy
without the flighted touch of rust.

Superior Court , Warren Court tj , March
Term, 1804.
Gentlkmik,
A long acqaintance with the citizens cf
Warren, inspires nofmall confidence, in the
integrity and good sense of the grand in
quest, to whom, a recent change in fixati
on, prefent* m« an opportunity of fpcaking
from this feat. Seledled from the body of
your county, as the most substantial and
enlightened, there i* no need of putting you
in mind particularly of what is expelled
from the station you hold in this court.
What ought to be the strongest of human
ties, the love of country, and obedience to
her laws, call upon you to cxerc ife with
moderation, butdecifion, the duty of faith
ful inquisitors j in the due difeharge where
of, you arc bound to expose to the l ash of
justice, crimes and offences of every deferip
tion; either manifefted to you by others,
or which may come within your own obser
vation—at the fame time be careful not to
wound the feelings of any from dijlike , nor
let any,| from favor cfcape your animad
.verfion.
The more and flagrant abuse of ex
* press law, although more dircdWy demand
ing your cognizance, “ that punishment
•may as quick as pofiiblc fuccecd offence,
, llill, fmalier breaches of raoralityilhculd by
r no means pass without ferutiny” — hold up
. meaner offenders as objefls of diguft to the
1 worthy. Among the petty fins most in
fafhion, may be remarked profane fwcaring,
and gambling ; not le omit one from which
