Coh Henry Lee replied., but did not fol
low him through io extensive and general a
view of the fubjeft. Governor Randolph,
whose treacheiy and diffinaulation, on thi#
occasion, is pretty generally reprobated by
the people at large, next rose to anfwerfome
collaterdl tefleftiohs which he supposed was
cast on him by Mr; Henry. But exhibit
ing in the face of that truly refpeftable as-
Jcmbly, strong and evident marks of embar-
Faffment and perturbation of mind, he could
only entreat that the next morning (Tucfday)
might beaffigned to him for his exculpation.
In the course of his short, and incoherent
reply, he said he was perfectly fatisfied “ to
let their former friendfhip's fall, like Luciter’j,
never to rife again,” and Ihould be content
hereafter, “ to move in the humble sphere of a
representative.”
As the general court is to convene at
Richmond on the 23d instant, and many
of its members being allo in convention,
an adjournment in all probability will take
place, at least until the rising of the legilla
ture ; so that from this view, there is eve
ry reason to believe, the important and in
teresting question relative to the conftitU
tion will not immediately be brought on
in that convention.
Among other things, it is also affertcd by
the Philadelphia letter writer, that <£ the [an
guine, promise a handsome majority,’’and plumes
himfelf much on the acquisition of “ Mr.
Zeph. Jadfon, an cfteemed enti-federallft
from the back counties, to the federal party.”
The cause of dcfpotifm must be desperate in
cited in that quarter, if it rests on no better
lupport than that ol traitors and turn-coats.
The flats of public affairs at Richmond,
will be found, continues our correspondent,
to be nearly as follows :
Mr. Mason and Mr. Henry take the lead
of the anti-federalifts-Mr. Maddifon and Mr.
Nicholas appear in the fame point of view
among the federalifts Both parties, even
the mod [anguine, declare it exceedingly dif
ficult to determine which fide the balance
will incline. Some of the anti-federalifts
fay, they have made a lift of those on whom
thev can depend, and, after throwing fix or
eight doubtful characters into the other scale,
have a majority of two in their favor
Xvhile fonie of their opponents report, that
they have a majority of five or fix. At any
rate, neither party can boast of a ££ handsome
majority.” But all parties seem to allow,that
amendments to the new constitution are ne
cessary and ought to be made. The great
question or point in dispute will therefor
be, in the convention ol Virginia, whether
those amendments shall be ingrafted into the
constitution oxfubfequent toadoption?
Nothing decidedly, our correspondent as
sures us, has hitherto been done in the con
vention, at Richmond, except agreeing to
diffeft the new monster, feclion by fe&ion ;
and the speakers have not yet departed from
the generals either in the defence or the at
tack. The hefoes, Maddifon and Nicholas,
on the part of the federalifts, being indis
posed, oh the 9th of June-, were unable to
attend the house. On that day, Mr. Patrick
Henry, in a most mafter’y and eloquent
manner, pointed out the defefts and snares
of the new scheme, obviated the mighty
burbears.raikd to frighten and intimidate th c
weak and wavering into a speedy and impli
cit adoption, called in question the threats
of the house of Bourbon, and the Uni’tedNe
therlands, now actually groaning under the
tyranny and thraldom of a Stadtholder or
Dutch president general, to make reprifals,and
enforce the payment of their refpeftive de
mands ; and declared he would withhold
his alfent until all the poison and pollution
were fully and fatisfadlorily extrafled and
cleaned from the propbfed conftitulion,
which he considered as a slavish system of
arbitrary power, calculated to crush the spi
rit of freedom and destroy those inestimable
privileges acquired by our glorious struggle
with Great-B'itain. To sign, seal and de
liver .that instrument (pointing to the new
constitution) he obfcrved,was in faft to sur
render, in toto, the liberties of the people
and thc dearest rights of humanity, into the
hands of a few deligning, ariftocratical des
pots ; and to fubferibe to it without previous
amendments, would be like a man’s volun
tarily fuffering himfelf to be bound in fet
ters and chainsand thrown into a dreary,
offenfive dungeon, and then seeking for
relief and redress from the lordly and elec
tive tyrants who would have the entire com
mand and controul of the federal locks,keys
and bolts. He arrested the serious attention
of the house the greatest part of the day, hav
ing been upwards of three hours on the
floor.
Let the wretched office-hunters, and
friends to tyranny, in some of our cities
and towns along the sea coast, therefore,
suspend their preparations for another pa
rade andproceflion of Federal flips,con&rnQ.-
ed on refugee and foreign bottoms. They may
rest allured, the tree and independent far
mers of this great continent, are not to be
influenced or led away by such idle, giddy
puppet-shews and pantomine entertainments.

F.xtradof a letter from Paris, April 12.
“ The imperial minister has conferences daily
with the archbilhop and the other King’s ministers;
negociations of some fort are therefore certainly
on the tapis, and if oilr court can do any good in
the way of mediation among the belligerents, her
good offices certainly will not be wanting; but it is
laid down otherwise as a maxim,France will engage
in nothing likely to produce hostilities, peace being
our grand objeft at this time, so needful for the na
tional profperity.’*
From the London Morning Chronicle, of the
gth of April.
Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman of veracity
in America, to his friend in London, dated
March 1788.
“ I have just been in company with a gen
tleman fr'om New-York, who fays, that im
mediately on the arrival there of the French
frigate L’Aigrette, that the French ambassa
dor engaged a number of carpenters at two
dollars per diem to build veflels on thc lakes,
and also was beginning to, form a number of
American battalions' for the purpose or at
tacking the posts and making a conquest of
all Canada. The arrival of the British Pac
ket with news of peace fruftrated the pro
je£l. This evinces that they have much at
heart to repd fiefs themselves of that extensive
empire, which will always give them a de
cided command over the rebel Rates.”

about nine o’clock thc cloud returned upon
