As the Christian, the Gentleman and the Friend, appear in a strong light in the following letter, we doubt not but it will be acceptable; as every thing must be that proceeded from that excellent author.
A LETTER written by the late excellent Archbishop Tillotson to Charles Earl of Shrewsbury.
My LORD,
IT was a great satisfaction to me to be any ways instrumental in the gaining your lordship to our religion, which I am really persuaded to be the truth. But I am and always was more concern'd that your lordship would continue a virtuous and good man, than become a protestant, being assured that the ignorance and errors of men's understanding will find a much easier forgiveness with God than the faults of the will. I remember that your lordship once told me, that you would endeavour to justify the sincerity of your change, by a conscientious regard to all other parts and actions of your life. I am sure you cannot more effectually condemn your own act, than by being a worse man after your profession to have embraced a better religion. I will certainly be one of the last to believe any thing of your lordship that is not good; but I always feared I should be one of the first that should hear it. The time I last waited upon your lordship, I had heard something that afflicted me very sensibly: but I hoped it was not true, and was therefore loth to trouble your lordship about it: but having heard the same from those, who, I believe bear no ill-will to your lordship, I now think it my duty to acquaint you with it. To speak plainly, I have been told that your lordship is of late fallen into a conversation dangerous both to your reputation and virtue, two of the dearest & tenderest things in the world. believe your lordship to have a great command and conduct of yourself; but I am very sensible of human frailty, and of the dangerous temptations to which youth is exposed in this dissolute age. Therefore I earnestly beseech your lordship to consider, besides the high provocation of almighty God and the hazard of your soul, whenever you engage in a bad cause, what a blemish you will bring upon a fair and unspotted reputation; what uneasiness and trouble you will create to yourself, from the severe reflections of a guilty conscience, and how great a violence you will offer to your good principles, your nature and your education, and to a mind the best made for virtuous and worthy things: and do not imagine you can stop when you please; experience shews us the contrary, and that nothing is more vain than for men to think they can set bounds to themselves in any thing that is bad. I hope in God no temptation has yet prevailed on your lordship so far as to be guilty of any loose act: If it has, as you love your soul let it not proceed to an habit: the retreat is yet easy and open, but will every day become more difficult and obstructed. God is so merciful, that upon your repentance and resolution of amendment, he is not only ready to forgive what is past, but to assist us by his Grace to do better for the future. But I need not enforce these considerations upon a mind so capable of and easy to receive good counsel. I shall only desire your lordship to think again and again how great a point of wisdom it is in all our actions to consult the peace of our minds and to have no quarrel with the constant and inseparable companion of our lives: if others displease us, we may quit their company; but he that is displeased with himself is unavoidably unhappy, because he has no way to get rid of himself.
My Lord,
For God's sake and your own think of being happy, and resolve by all means to save yourself from this untoward generation. Determine rather upon a speedy change of your condition, than to gratify the inclinations
of your youth in any thing but what is lawful and honorable, and let me have the satisfaction to be assured from your lordship, either that there has been no ground for this report, or that there shall be none for the future which will be the welcomest news to me in the world. I have only to beg of your lordship to believe that I have not done this to satisfy the formality of my profession, but that it proceeds from the truest affection and good will that one man can possibly bear to another. I pray to God every day for your lordship with the same constancy and fervour as for myself, and do now most earnestly beg that this counsel may be acceptable and effectual.
I am, &c.

It is a certain fact, that his Majesty was permitted on Sunday to shave himself; one of his physicians holding the basin, his Majesty said very condescendingly, "Sure, Doctor one of the servants might ease you of that trouble."
The health of the Dauphin of France is daily declining. The air of Meudon has not been of any service to him; and he is now going to be removed back to Versailles. The sufferings of this unfortunate Prince are drawing to an end; he is reduced to a skeleton, and may be called the shadow of shade. We are assured that he does not weigh, cloaths included, more than twenty-seven pounds.
The Bedford, Portland, Devonshire, Grafton, and Norfolk families are again coming into play.
FREDERICKSBURGH, March 12.
On Saturday evening last his Excellency General Washington arrived in town from Mount Vernon, and early on Monday morning he set out on his return. The object of his Excellency's visit was probably, to take leave of his aged mother, sister and friends, previous to his departure for the new Congress, over the councils of which the united voice of America has called him to preside.
WILLIAMSBURGH, March 4.
Several gentlemen in this city have procured a machine, which will card, with the force of a single hand, from 40 to 50 pounds of cotton per day. It is accompanied with every other machine necessary to make the cotton into cloth of almost any fineness. These machines are erected here, and wait for materials only, to be carried into full effect. Three hundred pounds are subscribed; but a larger sum (probably 600l.) will be necessary for the execution of the scheme, upon a scale even of moderate extent. It is therefore agreed that any person inclining to subscribe may be received on application to Col. James Southall. No subscriber shall be admitted for less than 25l. and every such sum shall constitute a share, and intitle that holder to one vote. One half of each subscription is to be paid down in money, tobacco, public securities at their value, or picked cotton. The other half will be proportionately called for.
This prospect of establishing manufactures, on terms thus advantageous, will, it is presumed, attract the notice of the public; as it cannot be doubted, that proper encouragement to the plan will enable us to clothe ourselves and our negroes, without relying on a foreign country; and the plan itself may be extended to the manufacture of wool. Any person delivering cotton at the works, shall receive an adequate return of cloth. The business will be conducted by skilful workmen, and under the superintendence of a few of the most experienced members.
A liberal price will be given for Cotton.
CHARLESTON, March 17.
A gentleman has in his possession a tooth that weighed seven pounds and an half. It was taken from the jawbone of a skeleton found in Kentucky
in 1784 and was the smallest tooth of the three. The socket of the thigh appeared large enough to contain a 32 pound ball.
B A L T I M O R E, March 20.
Letters from Glasgow, received by a vessel which arrived in Virginia a few days ago, dated the 3d of January, mention, that the Prince of Wales was appointed Sole Regent, that there was a total change in the Administration—but that, however, Mr. Pitt, still retained a Majority in the House of Commons, which it was presumed would occasion the dissolution of the present, and the calling of a new Parliament.
W I N C H E S T E R, March 18.
We are informed, that a general and uninterrupted trade has taken place between the inhabitants of Kentucky, and those of the Spanish settlements at New Orleans.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.
We are informed that Mr. Taylor, the bleacher and printer in Philadelphia county, has completed a machine to break and rough dress flax, which saves half the expence, and nine tenths of the labour by hand, as it goes by horse or by water.
The machine for making nails and sprigs, constructed by Mr. Folsom, (late of our sister state of New-Hampshire) now of Harrisburgh, in Pennsylvania, effects all its operation from rolled strips of iron, without any further use of fire. This is likely to become a very valuable factory.

Extract of a letter from Wilmington, Delaware March 26.
"Mr. Andrew Pennington was accosted on Saturday last between Newport and Christiana Bridge, by a man who induced him to go into a field a little distance out of the road on pretence of selling a horse. He there found another standing by the fence, and a horse tied; one of the villains seized him by the leg and the other swore if he did not deliver, he would blow him through. Mr. Pennington told them he supposed they must have what they wanted, but desired leave to alight and tie his horse, which he had no sooner done, than he declared that he would not be robbed. Upon which they both attacked him with cutteaux knives; but met with so warm a reception from a stick which Mr. Pennington had, that after a smart engagement, they took their horses, and road off through the field."
Extract from the Marquis de Chateleaux's Travels through America.
"What can my testimony add to the idea already formed of G. Washington?—The continent of America, from New-Hampshire to Georgia, is a great volume, every page of which presents his Eulogium. I know, that having had the opportunity of a near inspection, and closely observing him some more particular details may be expected from me; but the strongest characteristic of this respectable man is the perfect union which reigns between the physical and moral qualities which compose the individual; one or alone will enable you to judge of all the rest. If you are presented with the medals of Cæsar, Trajan, Alexander, on examining their features, you will be led to ask, what was their stature, and the form of their person; but if you discover in a heap of ruins the head or limb of an antique Apollo, be not curious about the other parts, but rest assured they all were conformed to those of a Heathen God."
"Let not this comparison be attributed to Euthusiasm.—I wish only to express the impression it has left on my mind, the idea of a perfect whole. Brave without temerity—laborious without ambition—generous without prodigality—noble, without pride—virtuous, without severity: He seems always to have confined himself within those limits where the virtuous, by clothing themselves in more lively
but more changeable and doubtful colours, may be mistaken for faults. Let it be repeated that Conde was intrepid, Turenne prudent, Eugene adroit, Catina disinterested—it is thus that Washington will be characterised. —It will be said of him, at the end of a long civil war, he had nothing with which he could reproach himself. If any thing can be more marvelous than such a character it is the unanimity of the public suffrages in his favour. Soldier, magistrate, citizen, all love him, and admire him; all speak of him in terms of tenderness and veneration.—Does there exist a virtue capable of restraining the injustice of mankind, or are glory and happiness too recently established in America, for envy to have deigned to pass the seas?"
April 7. The General Assembly of Pennsylvania passed an act to raise by way of Lottery the sum of eight thousand dollars, for the erection of a City Hall, in the city of Philadelphia.
Peter Pinder says, that his Majesty has turned his brain by a too close inquiry, how the apple gets inside an apple-dumplin: And, that, as the old woman who first put his Majesty's wits to the stump respecting it, has explained the matter to him, he is likely to recover.
The beautiful new ship Union, Capt. Ashmead, failed from Philadelphia the 29th inst. for China.
Mr. Pitt said in the Commons, that the Heir Apparent was the fittest object for the choice of parliament; but at the same time contended, that if he was appointed, his regency was the creature not of the law, but of Parliament.

From New-York.
April 13. Last Thursday Evening, Mr. SYLVANUS BOURNE arrived at the Seat of his Excellency JOHN ADAMS, Esq. at Braintree, in 50 Hours from New-York, with Dispatches from the Federal Congress.
The following are the particulars we have been favoured with by Mr. BOURNE , viz. That on Wednesday the 1st instant the House of Representatives formed a Quorum, and made Choice of the Hon. FREDERICK AUGUSTUS MUHLENBURGE , of Pennsylvania, for their Speaker, and WILLIAM BECKLEY, Esq. of Virginia, for their Secretary. On the Monday following, (6th inst.) by the arrival of the Hon. RICHARD H. LEE , from Virginia, a Quorum was formed of the Senate of the United States, when they proceeded agreeably to the Constitution, and made choice of the Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq. of New-Hampshire, for their President, pro. tem. who in a convocation of both Houses, sorted and counted the votes for Presidents—which are as follows: His Excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON , 69, being the whole number. His Excellency JOHN ADAMS , 34. Hon. John Jay 9. Hon. R. H. Harrison 6. Hon. John Rutledge 6. His Excellency John Hancock 4. His Excellency George Clinton 3. His Excellency Samuel Huntington 2. Hon. John Milton 2. Hon. James Armstrong 1. His Honor Benjamin Lincoln 1. Hon. Edward Telfair 1.
The Senate then made choice of CHARLES THOMSON, Esq. to bear the Dispatches to the President General, and of Mr. SYLVANUS BOURNE , to bear the Dispatches to the Vice-President.
Mr. THOMSON proceeded on the 7th inst. to Virginia, and it is expected the President will arrive at the seat of Government in all this Month. He will be taken from the Jersey shore in an elegant barge, now building for the purpose. Preparations are making for fire-works, parade of the militia, illuminations, &c. to demonstrate the joyful feelings which his arrival cannot fail to inspire.
The above information must give the sincerest pleasure to every friend to the Constitution; and we may rationally anticipate a speedy enjoyment of all those blessings which will naturally flow from a perfect organization and complete operation of a firm free and energetic Government.
April 14. We feel happy in being able to inform the publick, that his Excellency Mr. ADAMS , in consequence of having received on Thursday evening, official information of his election as Vice-President of the United States, will on Monday next, at ten o'clock, set out from his seat in Braintree for New-York; will take leave of our worthy Chief Magistrate at twelve o'clock, and will then be escorted to the county of Middlesex, by Col. TYLER's troop of Horse. This promptitude and attention in the second Magistrate of our great Republic, must give peculiar pleasure to his constituents—and augurs a dispatch of business so necessary—and so much desired.
From all accounts it appears, that His Excellency John Hancock, Esq. is re-elected Governor, and the hon. Samuel Adams, Esq. Lieutenant Governor for the ensuing year.
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, March 9.
"The late surprizing occurrence at doctor Thorn's in New-Hackinsack, I believe will, in some degree, re-establish the opinion, that there has been and still is such a thing as Wizards and Witches, notwithstanding the idea has been long thrown aside by even the vulgar. You have doubtless heard the story of that unfortunate girl—the sad disaster which has befallen her excites the curiosity of every one, and twenty miles around—scarce a stage passes without stopping
at the Dr's. although he lives several miles from the main road—the neighbouring Divines attend her constantly—they minute the most essential part of what occurs daily, and will, perhaps, commit it to the press. Many ways have been tried to relieve her from the agitated state in which she appears, but to no purpose; the knocking still continues, accompanied with a rumbling noise, and moving of the furniture. It is supposed by some, that she is bewitched by a Hessian servant of the doctor's, whose conduct for some time past has been very singular; he was lately brought to an examination, on which occasion his behaviour greatly heightened the suspicion, since then his precipitate departure seems to confirm it.

Remarkable Account of a HEN. Extract of a letter from Groton, (Mass.) dated April 6, 1789.
"I broke open this Letter to communicate to you the remarkable Instance of an Hen, belonging to Mr. William Bancroft of this town, that was found last week in the Hay in his Barn, which has been buried ever since last October, and is now alive.—It is supposed she was on her Nest when they took in their Harvest, and covered up at that time.—She has had no Food except cloved Hay and its Seed, for the space of five Months and an half, nor a drop of Moisture in her mouth, that is known of.—She had made a walk of about ten feet in length, and just her heighth and breadth,—When she was first taken up, she had not the use of her limbs, and fell down when any Person attempted to make her walk.—There never was one known to live so long before without gravel or sand.—I went on the mow of Hay myself, and saw the place where she had lain, so that you may rely on the truth of the foregoing.—The Hen is now recovering fast, and goes with the other Fowls as common."
PORTSMOUTH, April 15.  Extract of a letter from New-York, dated April 6.
"Mr. LANGDON is appointed President pro hac vice, and the two Houses will be daily occupied in public business, which I hope will be in a tolerably advanced state before the arrival of the President. It is much to be desired, that an Impost Bill may be passed, and presented to him to sign as soon as may be. The Spring ships will bring a great part of the goods from which an impost may be raised, and several ships are expected soon to arrive from India. The interest of the public manifestly requires, that all due expedition should be used in accomplishing this business."
"It is said, however, that it is the intention of the Pennsylvanians to make a hard push for the immediate removal of Congress from New-York. But I earnestly hope, that a measure so productive of party heats, and tending so naturally to a great loss of time, now so precious, will be postponed. Certainly it would be a bad beginning of government."
"Mr. LANGDON , the President pro. tem. presided with great dignity and propriety."
Died, Mrs. Mary Langdon , aged 74—Miss Lydia Peirce , aged 53—Miss Hannah Horn , aged 17—and a child of Mr. Benjamin Ham.
ANECDOLE OF YORICK.
A DOCTOR of the neighbourhood called him up early, to complain of the indecent liberties taken with him, in the character of Slop , in Tristram Shandy , and though there was not the least resemblance between the two (absurdity excepted) 'twas difficult to persuade him. Sir, "says Yorick, are you a man-midwife?" No! Are you a Roman "Catholick?" No. Why, where in "the name of Nonsense, is the resemblance? Was you ever splash'd and "dirted?" Yes; and that's the "thing you have taken advantage "of to expose me." The good Yorick, who would not give any human creature a moment's uneasiness, to be the author of all that ever Pope praised, or Shakespeare wrote, took infinite pains to persuade this gentleman of his error; but in vain; at length; as there is a stretch under which Patience snaps, he told the Doctor, "Sir I have not hurt you; but take care: I am not born yet; but Heaven knows what I may do in the two next volumes."
Anecdote of Lord Mansfield.
THIS Judge being in one of the counties, on the circuit, a poor woman was indicted for witchcraft. The inhabitants of the place were exasperated against her. Some witnesses deposed, that they had seen her walk in the air, with her feet upwards and her head downwards. Lord Mansfield heard the Evidence with great tranquility, and perceiving the temper of the people, whom it would not have been prudent to irritate, he thus addressed them; "I do not doubt that this woman has walked in the air, with her feet upwards, since you have all seen it; but she has the honor to be born in England as well as you and I and consequently, cannot be judged but by the laws of the country, nor punished but in proportion as she has violated them. Now I know not one law that forbids walking in the air with the feet upwards. We have all a right to do it with impunity. I see no reason, therefore, for prosecution; and this poor woman may return home when she pleases."—This speech had its proper effect: It pleased the auditory, and the woman retired from court without molestation.

Clocks and Watches.
THE subscriber wishes to return his best thanks to the public, for the very liberal encouragement he has hitherto experienced (before and since his return from England) and solicits the favour of his former customers; as he himself does all the work committed to his care, he presumes, he can by a little attention, obviate a general complaint made by gentlemen who give their watches to unskilful workmen, which renders them both unsatisfactory and expensive.—He keeps an exact register of all watches committed to his care, and records the maker's name, number, and owner's name and day of the month he takes them on, that any gentleman who has left watches with him (if they should by misfortune loose or have them stolen) may apply for the maker's name and number, which is the only thing they can prove their property by.—All gentlemen that leave their watches with him, must receive the same, or give an order, as he shall not deliver any without.
Gold and Jewellery work, Cyphers and other Engraving. Neatly performed.
