"WHEN ANGRY NATIONS PART IN LEAGUES OF PEACE, LET PRIVATE FEUDS AND CIVIL DISCORDS CEASE."
PHILADELPHIA, June 27. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia, to his friend in this city. Who knows not, FRANKLIN, that within itself AMERICA is safe, if true within itself?
SHAKESPEARE.
IT is not owing to a want of knowledge, if the present great Convention fail to establish an energetick government which will desuse equal advantage to the remotest corner of the United States, rise into importance and respect among the nations of the earth.
"It is thought that the persons who opposed the impost, and laboured for emissions of paper, were ignorant of, or inimical to, the interests of America.
"The idea of having the Supreme Federal power divided into two or more branches meets with universal approbation—it will be a check on the intriguing spirit of the members of one house, and will be the means of bringing the deliberations of the supreme power to greater maturity—it will be a guard against precipitancy and temerity of Council.—The advantage of two branches has been conspicuous lately in Maryland—the firmness of their Senate saved their country from perdition.
"I reprobate the idea of a division of the States into three or four republics—the greatest enemy to America could have suggested nothing worse or more destructive.
"By reading the history of Ireland, when each of its provinces was a separate state, we may judge of the fatal consequences. The ancient and brave inhabitants of Spain would never have been conquered by the Carthaginians, or Romans, had they not been divided into different independent states, and employed one against the other, by the intrigues and corruption of their enemies:—But we need not look so far back, to mark the certain and fatal consequence of such division.—Not to mention the unhappy state of England, during the Heptarchy; Chevy Chase, Powden Field, and Bannack burn, are unanswerable arguments against it. What calamitous times these were, when Britain was divided only into two states.—My opinion is, that America would be happier under the government of France, or the present Empress of Russia, than be divided according to that malevolent suggestion.—But let us be under one vigorous government, established on liberal principles, possessed of coercion and energy sufficient to pervade and invigorate the whole—we will then rise immediately into the highest consideration—our friendship and trade will be courted by all the powers of Europe, and in a few years, the brave Algerines themselves will stand in awe of the enterprising American.
"You mention the Federal debt:—The domestic debt rose to the enormous height by the inexperience of the supreme power, in '78, '79, and '80. They employed their Commissaries, Quarter Masters, and Contractors upon commission, instead of agreeing for the ration; the commutation for halfpay increasing it considerably.—For what purpose the foreign debt was contracted, or how it was expended, I believe no particular account has been given.—But if you and I, and all the men in America, do but wear our old coat one year longer, we would save a sum nearly equal to the half of our foreign debt.
"Can you mention a nation on the face of the earth, that does not manufacture, that exports so much as the United States? After our trade is put under proper regulations, and we have begun to manufacture, the public debt will dwindle into nothing. A more extensive plan of finance will probably be adopted by the new government, by which means many partial, ill-conceived taxes, will be taken off the people,
which will fix their affections and attachment to government.
"You tell me that you suspect a combination against the federal Government in Rhode-Island and New-York.—The majority of the House of Delegates of Rhode-Island have lost all character, and even shame itself. Yet you see there are honest men in that state—the Judges behaved handsomely in the affair of the Tender Law, and the minority have sent some gentlemen to the Convention, who no doubt will meet with the attention they expect.
"There was a number of British General Officers and Members of Parliament in New-York last year, whether they have been tampering with government, time, the revealer of secrets, will display. But there being a dead vote against the impost, without the least alteration, after the necessity of the measure was demonstrated, gives room for suspicion. Let the case be as it will, such is the present temper of the Americans, and the resentment for the contempt they have so universally incurred on account of the weakness of government, is so great, that I believe, upon my honor, the Supreme Federal Power, after an adequate government is determined upon may command the service of 20,000 volunteers for a year, without pay, to execute these orders, and fix government upon a firm and permanent basis."
WHITEHALL, May 1.
The King has been pleased to appoint the Earl of Dunmore to be Captain General and Governor in Chief over the Bahama Islands in America.
EDENBURGH, April 26.
Extract of a Letter from London, April 13.
"The 24th and 26th regiments, for Canada, and two not yet fixed, for Nova-Scotia, are to embark at Cork the first week of May."
LONDON, April 16.
The Lords of the Treasury have ordered all the requisitions, for money, since the conclusion of the late war, by Governors, &c. in America and the West-Indies made out immediately, and laid before the Board.
April 17. The Russian fleet, for which a requisition of assistance and friendly reception has been lately made to our Court, consists of 33 ships of the line, 11 frigates, and five bomb ketches—the avowed object of this armament is to chastise, and, if possible to destroy the piratical Powers of the coast of Barbary; but it is much more probably intended to pay a visit (and THAT an effected, though not an amicable one) to some places in the Vicinage of the Dardanelles.
Orders are given from the war-office, for the 4th, 5th, and 26th regiments, now on duty in Ireland, to be embarked at Cork for Quebec immediately; where shipping are provided for them. Two regiments now on duty in Canada, are to come home, so that the reinforcement will be one regiment only; but it is expected a further force will be sent in the course of the summer, as Lord Dorchester has informed the necessity, in the present situation of affairs, of reinforcing all the posts in Canada.
Lord Dorchester's conduct, in regard to the insurgents of America, should be well guarded, for he may either inflame or conciliate the temper of America.
A letter from on board the Lord Hyde packet boat arrived at Falmouth from New-York says, that the day before he sailed the General Washington, carrying 20 guns, arrived there from Madeira, laden with wines, and brought in with them an Algerine corsair which they had taken, after an engagement of an hour and a half. Capt. Henderson, of the Washington, says, he had no irons of his own to put on the prisoners, but he
found plenty on board the corsair, which he made use of, as they began to be very outrageous. They intended to dispose of the prisoners in the following manner, to send to the Dey to exchange some Americans for them, and if that was refused, that they then should be made slaves of, and treated in same manner as the Algiers treat their prisoners.
General Arnold, the American refugee, is preparing to leave England, and goes to Newfoundland; it is thought in a public employment. The General takes out with him a frame, and complete materials to erect a spacious (and for that part of the world) an elegant house.
Advices have been received from Terceira, one of the Azores, that 14 sail of American ships have lately arrived there, with many articles which were much wanted; and that a regular trade is now established there with the ports of Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia.
By the last accounts from America, we learn, that the people of Virginia and Maryland are busy in making a canal round the falls of the river Potomack. When this cut is finished, there will be a clear navigation of 800 miles from the ocean to the great river Ohio, from thence to the Mississippi, and then into the gulph or bay of Mexico, a distance of at least 3000 miles. At the head of the subscribers to this vast and truly patriotick undertaking, appears the illustrious name of George Washington.
HALIFAX, June 21.
By the latest intelligence from England, we find the Russians and Turks are actually at war—That France seems determined to take part with the Turks.—That the other powers appear rather disposed to stand aloof at present, than to engage on either side.—A Fleet of 33 sail of Russian men of war were expected in England; an Agent having arrived to provide stores, &c. for them.—The House of Commons have gone through the charges against Mr. Hastings, and he was soon to be brought to trial before the House of Lords—It is in general thought he will not be able to exculpate himself.
SHELBOURNE, June 14.
Extract of a letter from Madras, East-Indies, dated August 1, 1786.
"The French are fortifying Pondicherry in the strongest manner, and we expect they will not long remain quiet. No Englishman can walk their streets without being affronted in the basest manner. Within these two months past, a French ship, loaded with salt, and convoyed by one of their frigates, in attempting to pass Buge, an English fort, was fired upon from the fort, and the frigate returned the fire, when the fort immediately fired six 24lb. shot, and sunk her."
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.
Amongst other subjects proposed by the royal society of physicians in Paris, at their annual meeting, is the following:—"To determine whether there really exist such disorders as may be termed hereditary in particular families? and whether it is in the power of physick to prevent the same, or to effect a cure when they have made some progress?" The best memorial or answer in French, Latin or English, to this interesting query will be intitled to the premium of 600 livres, originally founded by his most christian majesty.
"Honsleur,* will, I believe, become a free port; it belongs to the duke of Orleans, who is endeavouring, all he can, to bring it about. He has offered to advance, gratis, half the expence of cleaning out the balon, and building store houses to receive American produce."
* Honsleur is a port at the entrance, of the river Seine, between 60 and 70 miles from Paris.

L O N D O N, April 19.
An arret has just been published in France, offering a premium of five livres per quintal for all dried and salt cod, imported by French ships into the Levant; and the same premium for every quintal of congers which are taken and dried on the coast of France, and exported for foreign parts; also another arret which raises a premium of five livres, as established the 29th of November, 1785, to eight livres, for every quintal of dried and salt cod, imported into the windward and leeward islands by strangers, and 12 livres for every quintal dried and imported by the subjects of France into said islands.
A U G U S T A, (Georgia) June 9.
By several people lately from the frontier posts of this state, it is credibly reported, that the Creek Indians have again renewed hostilities. They inform, that in the course of the last week some Indians carried off a Negro, the property of a Mr. Lang, of Greene county, and were closely pursued by a Mr. M'Michal and a lad (name not mentioned) who unfortunately fell in attempting to rescue the Negro, and according to savage custom was scalped. The Indians in their precipitate retreat lost the scalps but got the Negro entirely off.—Irritated by the loss of his neighbours, Captain Alexander, with a small party of volunteers, went in quest of the murderers, overtook and killed six of them on Saturday last, on the opposite side of the Oconee river, not far from the place, at Shoulderbone, where the late treaty was held. It is likewise said, that two other Indians were killed on the Monday following, and that 150 have set out from the nation purposely for mischief. Although this alarming intelligence is not officially authenticated, we are sorry to observe, that by the manner in which it is communicated to us, it has rather two great an appearance of truth. In our next we hope to render the public a more accurate account of this interesting affair.
N E W L O N D O N, (Connecticut) July 6.
On the 29th ult. Capt. Brown spoke the ship Frazier master in the Vineyard South, belonging to Boston, from Point Petre, bound to New Haven, who had on board Capt. John Smith, of the sloop Harriot, belonging to Hartford, who sailed from Say-Brook Platform, on the 10th of April, bound to Surinam, and who had the misfortune on the 18th of said month, to meet a severe gale of wind, in which a sea stove in his dead lights, drove out the bulk-head of the quarter deck, and carried overboard his mate and two seamen, who were drowned. Capt. Smith at the same time was taken by the sea from the helm, and brought up forward of the windlass, by which means one of his thighs, (in two places) an arm, and collar bone were broken. Soon after they cut a way their mast: in this distressed situation they remained 21 days on the wreck, when they were taken off by a Sloop from Kennebeck, bound to St. Bartholomew, where they arrived, and there safe landed, and put on board Capt. Frazier, as above, who proceeded for New Haven.
B A L T I M O R E, July 3 rd .
Extract of a letter from Louisville, Falls of the Ohio, December 4, 1786.
"We have taken all the goods belonging to the Spanish merchants at post St. Vincent and the Illinois, and are determined that they shall not trade up the river, provided they will not let us trade down it.
"Preparations are now making here (if necessary) to drive the Spaniards from the settlements at the mouth of the Mississippi.
"In case we are now countenanced and succoured by the United States (if we need it) our allegiance will be thrown off, and some other power applied to. Great Britain stands ready, with open arms, to receive and support us.—They have already offered to open their resources for our supplies.—When once re-united to them, "farewell—a long farewell to all your boasted greatness."—The province of Canada and the inhabitants of these waters, of themselves, in time, will be able to conquer you.—You are as ignorant of this country as Great Britain was of America.
"These hints, if rightly improved, may be of some service; if not, blame yourselves for the neglect."
N E W Y O R K, June 28.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of distinction in Parris, to his friend in this city, dated May 7.
"I am happy in informing you, that the late arrangements of the ministers, have operated most favorable to the American commerce; the now prime minister, count de Montmorin, and the archbishop of Thoulouze, who is at the head of the council of France, have assured the marquis de la Fayette, (with whom I had a conversation yesterday) that the American trade should have
their full support. I am well acquainted with the new comptroller general, late intendant of Normandy: he is also very favorably inclined towards America. You may assure all our friends that there are no indulgencies in the power of the present ministry in every department but they will grant, and endeavor to promote a lasting union between the two countries.
L A N S I N B U R G H, (New-York) June 18.
By a gentleman from the Northward we learn, that Major-General Shays has returned from Canada, and on Tuesday last made his appearance in Washington county, in this state; that, on the day following, a number of the inhabitants of that county assembled and drove him into the state of Vermont, where he now secures himself from the hands of justice.
H U D S O N, (New-York) June 28.
We are informed, that, a few days since, John Barfee, of the manor of Livingston, had a large wen, or incysted tumour, of the bigness of a goose-egg, cut out of his forehead, right eye brow and lid, which it covered. The operation was successfully performed by Doctor Stoddard, who says, what made it any way hazardous was the tumour's covering the orb of the eye and part of the temporal artery, both of which he avoided cutting, though the adhesion was considerable. The wen was of that sort of incysted tumour called, by writers on surgery, an atheroma, from the matter contained in the cystis, or bag, resembling and being of the consistence of a soft pudding. Barfee is now in the 41st year of his age, and was born with it on his eye brow. It has been gradually increasing ever since, till it became painful and troublesome to him. He has been often deterred from having it extirpated from a belief that it would be attended with sudden death, which many people asserted would be the case. He is in a fair way, and likely to do well.
B E N N I N G T O N, (Vermont) June 13.
On Saturday last a person passed through this town charged with dispatches to Shays, Wheeler, &c. directed to them at Isle Aux Noix, and written by the leading members of the present house of representatives in Massachusetts. These letters contain assurances of pardon to them and their adherents, provided they would prefer a petition.
S P R I N G F I E L D, June 19.
A few nights since, about 20 armed insurgents entered the town of Lanesborough, in the county of Berkshire, broke open the house of Mr. W. Starkweather, and took therefrom one barrel and an half of pork, 250 silver dollars, a watch, pair of pistols, and several other valuable articles.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Berkshire county dated June 20, 1787.
"Depredations on the property and persons of those who unfortunately have been friends to government in these counties are nightly committed. We have frequent instances of persons being violently attacked and beaten on the roads while they are journeying in a peaceable manner; in short, we are exposed to all the evils of a predatory civil war."
B O S T O N, July 13.
The arrival at Philadelphia of the delegates from New-Hampshire, (who are now on their journey) will completely close the representation of the states in the federal convention, now convened in that city. R. Island , it is well known, has definitively denied meddling in affairs, which so nearly concern the Union as the revision of the confederation; of course, is not to be numbered among the states of united America. Therefore, to consider the representation as complete, is only exposing the folly of that state, and expressing the wishes of all the rest. Such obstinacy and pre-veneness—such arrogance and self importance, is not becoming a child of Columbia, and a younger sister—What, then, remains to be done, but for the other sisters naturally affectionate to deny her those enjoyments which themselves reciprocally share, and which she once merited—to cast her off—yea, verily, even from being of the sisterhood—and to forget that such a creature, as R---e-I---d, ever existed!—To say, let her alone, she is given to idols , will not make compensation for the loss of our national honour and credit.
"After having struggled through a long and hostile probation, (says a spirited writer in a late Virginia paper, when treating of the ruinous consequences attending the commerce of the United States, as it has been carried on since the conclusion of the war) why, in the arms of peace, do you countenance the follies of your late competitors, and hurry yourselves into the depths of luxury and dissipation, so repugnant to your health, your happiness, and your honour? dispise their vices, but emulate their virtues. They hold forth to your view a most useful example,
and prove, to a certainty, the truth of my assertions that our political existence rest wholly on ourselves—and not on the smiles of our enemies. If we chuse to be happy, to be so is in our power; our internal resources are now fully sufficient, and, with a well-timed economy, superfluities would abound, and raise us to the level of the most exalted nations.—Why call we so loudly for commerce with foreigners? it is certainly, at present, apposite to our interest. Does it not determine the balance much against us, through every channel by which we pursue it? what, then, must be the consequence? must it not inevitably either drain our country of specie, or, to the amount of this balance, bring us yearly in debt? The terms upon which a country, in its infancy, must carry on a commercial intercourse with one long established, are not equal; since produce and manufactures bears so small a proportion to each other. It is the interest of foreigners to furnish us with fashions; but is it our interest to follow them? Must it not eradicate the spirit of industry, frugality and economy, and hurry us into the opposite extremes—indolence, dissipation and ruin? does not every day's experience indisputably prove the insufficiency of our virtue to resist the bewitching temptation, I mean of foreign frippery? why, then, do not we, with all our might, discourage this commerce with foreigners—the bane of our temporal happiness—the poison of our present well-being?
"If, instead of bewildering ourselves in the idle dreams of commerce, after our independency was fully effected, we had rejected her smiles, and wholly bent our thoughts to the encouragement of domestic manufactures, and the cultivation of the most useful arts and sciences, we should, no doubt, by this time, been a rich, flourishing and respectable people; nay, by now adopting a similar policy, we could not fail of becoming such.—What but frugality, industry and emulation, can possibly be wanting to effect our prosperity, and raise us to the summit of human greatness? Have we not a productive soil, and almost unlimited extent of country, abounding in the luxuries of nature, that, were our connections with other nations to be forever cut off, would supply us with every necessary? The luxuries of art, till they are the reward of our labour, are highly pernicious and destructive to our welfare. Were we a manufacturing people, nothing, to what is generally understood by the common acceptation of the word, would be a luxury, or have in its use the same pernicious tendency, as use of foreign superfluities must at present have with us. In manufacturing countries, middle and lower classes of people, are chiefly employed or concerned therein; the promotion of luxury, excess and dissipation, therefore, is in them, perhaps, good policy; at least national, as it only takes from the opulent, and relieves the needy. But to encourage the use of foreign luxuries with us, woeful experience, I should think, had sufficiently convinced us, would not be so friendly; but, as the most rapacious peculator, would plunder without mercy, and deal out a general devastation."
A French fleet, of men of war was to sail from the West Indies, about the 1st of July, bound to New-York and Boston, to pass away the hurricane months.
P O R T S M O U T H, July 14.
Thursday the 29th day of November next, is appointed by the Hon. General Court to be observed as a day of THANKSGIVING throughout this State.
The Gazette de Sante, published in France by authority, under the sanction of the College of Physicians, has lately made public an infallible cure against all Schophulous Disorders, commonly called the KING'S EVIL, which has frequently baffled the most skillful of the medical tribe. It consists of the following:
R. common aqua vitæ, or brandy, 20 oz. of fixed volatile alkali concrete and gentian root, otherwise called felworth of Balmody, of each one drachm and a half. Let these infuse in the liquor for the space of 14 hours before you use it, and let it remain on the root, as it will get strength the more it is in that situation.—The dose is, fasting, before dinner and supper, at each time a table spoonful of the mixture.
