The fat all fcale on which it has heretofore appeared, chiefly owing to a very iimitted patronage, has pre vented a more copious detail of do wefiic, as well as of foreign aff airs ; and, to get by with other circumjl an tes, have, in a manner, wholly de prived the Editor of the plea furs of inferting original matter.
