" That man was born to cry."—Tune,
The Indian Philosopher.
WHEN May's sweet bloom, in vernal
hue,
Enraptur'd all creation through
And spread its fvvects on high,
I walk'd the rural mead along
And heard a shepherd chaunt his song
7hat mail <tvas born to cry.
Thus sung, he cry'd, " Sweet Philomel,
(And thus his notes were heard to fwrll
And mount the azure flcy)
The various ills which curse tVie ground
" Convinc'd me oF this doleful found,
" That man was born to cry."
The Merchant fends liis {hips afar
A»d runs the rifqtie of horrid war,
In foreign realms to pry ;
'Till winds and storms dellrey hi 3 gain—
Then this great truth he owns, iti pain,
That fnan was born to c;y-
The Lawyer for hi 3 client dates.
Invokes, pleads, lies, debates
' To all eternity—
Till sick, and torn by gouty pains
He proves, by poor and weak remains,
That mart was born to cry.
The Pried, with fancied powers of mind
To heal the sick and cure the blind,
To heaven directs his eye :
But as our fins encreafe vyith age
He's more convinc'd thro' every stage,
That man was born to cry.
The Ytfuth by fickle love once flung
Attempts—(his foul with horror wrung)
Another rv.aid to try —
He roves, till faften'd to a wife,
He Hands convidk-d, thro' his life—
That man was born to cry !
At a numerous meeting of the fubflantial
Planters, Farmers, and other Yeomanry
of the county of Caroline in Virginia,
at the court-house, on the loth day of
September, 1793, being the day of hold
ing the county court, oti which they
had been previously requested to afTem
ble, for the purpsfe of taking into con
sideration the prefeat political Hate of
American affairs.
IT being considered that it Is at all
times the right, and at certain periods ihe
duty of the people to declare their prin
ciples and opinions on fubjedts which con
cern the national interefl ; and that in the
preferit conjuncture the exercise of that
duty is rendered indifpenfible by the pre
vailing pra&ice of declaratory resolutions,
in places where the inhabitants can more
easily aflemble and consult, than in the
country at large ; but where intetefts,
views, and political opinions, different
from those of the great body of the peo
ple. may happen to predominate, when£j
thete may be danger of unfair and deluJ
five inferences concerning the true and ge
neral sense of the people :
In declaring ours however, since our re
mote situation from the great scene of pub
lic tranfaftions, we cannot possess a timely
and diredt knowledge of particular inci
dents, and the condudt of persons concern
ed therein ; it is judged moll prudent to
wait with a decent reserve for clear and
full information relative thereto ; and in
public declarations to abide by those great
principles, just sentiments, and established
truths, which can belittle affected by tran
sitory or personal occurrences.—
Therefore, as the unanimous sense of
this meeting,
Resolved, That the constitution of the
United States ought to be firmly and vi
gilantly supported against all direct, or in
direct attempts that may be made to sub
vert or violate the fame.
Resolved, That as it is the true interefl
of the United States to cultivate the pre
servation of peace, by all just and honora
ble means, the executive authority ought
to be supported in the exercise of its con
stitutional powers and functions, for en
forcing the laws existing for that purpose.
Resolved, That the eminent virtues and
fervicet of our illustrious fellow-citizen,
George IVaJhington, President of the Unit
ed States, entitle him to the highest ref
pedt, confidence, and lasting gratitude oi
his country ■, whose peace* liberty, and
fafety must ever remind it of his diftin«
gnifVied agency in the attainment of those
incftimable bleflings.
Resolved, That the eminent and gene
ous aids rendered to the United States in
:heir arduous struggle for liberty by the
French nation, ought ever to be remem
bered and acknowledged with gratitude
and kind affe&ion ; and that the fpefta
:le exhibited by the glorious and severe
:onteft it is now engaged in for its own
ibirty, ought, and mud be peculiarly in
:ere(ling to the wishes, the friendlhip, and
the sympathy of the people of America.
Resolved, That all attempts which may
be made, in whatever form or disguise, to
alienate the good will of the people of
America from the cause of liberty and re
publican government in France, have an
evident tendency to weaken their aff«£\ion
to the free principles of their own govern
ments ; and manifell designs which ought
to be narrowly watched and seasonably
countera&ed.
Resolved, That such attempts to dis
unite nations mutually attached to the
cause of liberty and viewed with unfriendly
eyes by all who hate it, ought more par
ticularly to be reprobated at the present
crisis; when such vast efforts are making
by a combination of princes and nobles,
to crulh an example which, th«y fear, may
open the eyes of all mankind to their na
tural and political rights.
Resolved, That a diflolution of the ho
norable and beneficial connection between
the United States and France, must obvi
aufly be attempted with a view to forward
a plan of a more intimate union and con
nexion of the former with Great-Britain,
<is a leading step towards assimilating the
American government to the form and spi
rit of the British monarchy : And these
apprehensions will be greatly strengthened,
if it (hall appear that the a&ive zeal dis
played •in propagating prejudices against
the French nation and revolution, hath
proceeded from persons cither difaffe£ted
toil e American revolution, or of known
monarchical principles.
Resolved, That sll foreign ministers to
the United States ought to negociate the
purpose of their million with the Presi
dent : If at any time a difference in opi
nion should happen on the exposition of
treaties or other fubjeits, the fame ought
to be dated by the minister, to the go
verning powers of his nation ; that on a
difculfion between the two governments,
an amicable adjustment may be effected,
and peace and friendfliip preserved : And
all applications of a minister in such a cafe,
to the people, who ast with foreign nati
ons only by their representatives in the
different departments of the government,
are highly improper, and tend to create
parties and diffentions amongst U9. Never,
thelefs, if a minister lhall adopt such im
proper cbnduft on any occasion, although
the application ought to be treated with
contempt by she people, yet it (hould n»t
affect his nation, nnlefs it (hall avow and
jullify his conduct therein : We therefore
detlare'bur disapprobation of certain at-
late newspaper publications, to
fttafeeTcnVc alledged behaviour of that kind
fn tfi'c minister of the French nation, if
arfyTuih really ekifted, the means of with
drawing our afteftion either from the be
loved 'President, or our refpeftable allies.
Ordered, That the foregoing resolutions
be forthwith printed in the several news
paperS id this state, and that a fair copy
of them be transmitted to the President oi
the United States by the Chairman.
By order of the meeting,
Edmund Pendleton, Chairman,
Attest,

Foreign Intelligence.
Edinburgh, July 23. A general meet,
ing of the inhabitants of Paisley was 011
Saturday last, by authority of the magi
strates, held to deliberate on the moll
proper mode of applying some temporary
relief to the great number of poor tradcf
men at present out of employment in that
place, which humane business being con
cluded* the declining state of trade and
universal distress of the country becamt
the fubjeft of difcufiion, when the meet
ing was unanimously of opinion, that th«
ruinous war in which Britain is now en
gaged is the sole fojrce of the present
very great and incrtafing calamities; and
that an humble petition to his majesty ;
praying, that a speedy contlufion may b(
put to it, would be highly proper al
this time. A committee of twenty-oni
wa» accordingly appointed to prepare th<
fame for fubfeription, and manage the bu
finefs with as much expedition as its im
portance required.
simjlerdam, July 21. Letters from Elfi
neur mention, that the French daily en
creafe their privateers along the coasts,
buying for this purpose all forts of vefMs
they can lay hold of. Moreover, that the
French privateer, Sans pareil, had taken
twelve English and four Dutch (hips,
modly with corn ; the French also burnt
at sea, a Dutch (hip, loaded with beams,
and brought up to Norway three Scotcfi
vefiels, with iron and deals. '1 he Sans
pareil has also taken a Dutch frigate o]
20 guns, which was fitted for an hofpita
(hip.
Plymouth, July 27. Tt is currently re
ported here that the French have a fieel
of men of war in the bay, confiding of 17
fail of the line, bclides frigates, &c. and
that they have made advances towards the
British channel ; but the mdre probable
account is, and which is also reported,
that the French have that number in Qui
beron bay, and 4 fail of the line in Bred
water ready for sea ; it certainly appear!
that gorernment are apprehensive of a fleet
being eqtial in fdrce to that under the
command of Earl Howe, as the greated
exertions have been used since lad evening,
to get the Intrepid and Sampson ready,
to flrengthen the fleet.
fiily 31. The capitulation of Mentz is
honourable to both parties. The terms
are such a# a garrison, who had (hewn
they were ready to defend the place with
their bodies, after the outworks, the only
drength of Mentz besides, were taken, had
a right to demand. The king of PrufTia
only refufed leave to carry away their field
pieces, which it is doubtful whether they
brought with them or found there ; and
before adding the usual article of deliver
ing up deserters, allowed the taking away
of coveted waggons, reserving the fight
to search them if he fiiould think proper
—the underdood tilode of conveying away
deserters in Europeati warfare, whom the
conqueror, except in very particular in
dances, never wishes to fee.
There are letters in towrt brought by
the lall (hips from India, of a very serious
import. They date, that Tippoo Saib
had made frefh objeflions to comply with
the obligations of the treaty, and perem
torily refufed to make the last payment.
In consequence it was generally under
dood, that Lord Cornwallis's departure
from India, would be delayed under the
apprehension that hostilities might be re
newed.
Franlfort, July 22. The French, to
the number of 40,000, endevavoured on
the 18th to force their way from Landau
to relieve Mentz: they made attacks in
three different places, and repulsed the A"u
drians at fird ; but were afterwards put
between two fires by the Audriana and
Pruflians, and driven back with great lots.
This event has probably occaiioned the
surrender of Mentz.
Turin, July 8. The king set out a few
days ago to visit the fortrefies and armies,
and to make the necefiary dispositions. On
the 6th instant we received the ratifications
of the treaty of alliance and subsidy con
cluded between our court and that of Lon
don.
Our loss in the engagement which took
place in the county of Nice on the Bth and
1 2th ult. between our troops & the French,
is at length ascertained—it amounts to
1500 men killed, wounded, and priloners;
among this number are 70 officers.
