Benjamin Franklin was the fir ft

Since the peri id of our revolution
it has been co.dlantly advancing to
perfection under the dirctlion of a
Pickering, a Haberfham, and a
Granger.
The following table will give a
tolerable correct idea of the im
provements in this department fiuce
1793; and while it lh >ws that
much was done umi r fuper
intendants, it also proves that a
great deal has been accornpliihed
under the present port mailer gene
ra!. It is not furpnfing that there
should be lome interruptions in
tranlportmg the mail which mis
five millions of miles in the- vear.
N *r is it matter ofthe lead wonder,
that, among two thousand polt-maf
ters there Ih >u!d be lome inattentive
or dilobhging. But in a business
so exteufive, employing so many
perl ‘ns, and in which the I-oft ai
