A bill has paffi d the Senate

of the above report.
A work is now in the Prefs,
under the title of “ A hint to
THE PUBLIC, OR THOUGHTS ON

conceive the following extracts,
from that work will not be
Unacceptable to our readers, as
they give a faint idea of the o-
pinions of that truly extraordin
ary character, on a fubjeft that
engroff s the attention of the ci
vilized world.
Babylon—mentioned in Re

and transferred from Babylon
of old to Rome* conftquenily

a like description, the deftrufti-
on of which would be univerfal-
ly felt—London may be (tiled
the mother of trade, haying her
concomitants mediately or im
mediately throughout the world
j in every place of trade; of courfe
her faii would prouuce lu r h an
