tal houfes in the cotton branch having topped payment. One of them has stopped for upwards of 400,000l. and it is faid is under acceptances to the amount of 1,000,000l. another is 200,oool. deficient, and many inferior houfes are involved in this unexpected event, which alfo extends to Liverpool, Manchefter, and many other trading towns. Thefe failures are likely to draw with them the moft extenfive confequences. The county of Lancaster, it is feared, will be much affected by them. In Manchester and its environs, it is computed that not less than 25,000l. worth of bills of only five pounds each, were in circulation amongst the working manufacturers. In London there are few monied perfons who are not billholders for large fums; upwards of 40,000 perfons in the various branches of their manufactures, and others depending on them in town and country, are, by this unfortunate circumftances, for a time out of bread.

The View from Liverpool is received, and is in the engraver's hands. We are obliged to our Correfpondent for it.

Junius is mistaken in fuppofing we have any fpleen towards Mrs. Piozzi. The reverfe is the fact, if we have any bias at all. A Literary Journal should have no prejudices. As Mr. Baretti has given his name to the public, we do not think ourselves at liberty to print any anfwer unless authenticated with the writer's name. We apprehend alfo the Lady herself would not approve of fuch a defence as that fent us. The manuscript is destroyed (unfeen by any perfon), according to his defire.

We have received a number of letters in the course of the month. The approach of fummer, and the recefs of Parliament, will shortly enable us to pay off our arrears. The Hymn to the Muses in our next.————— -Alfo answers to our Correspondents.
