S P E C I M E N S Of the Poetical Genius of an AFRICAN GIRL.
From an HYMN to the EVENING. FIL'D with the praise of Him who gives the light, And draws the sable curtains of the night, Let placid slumbers sooth the weary mind, At morn to wake more heavenly and refin'd; So shall the labors of the day begin, More pure and guarded from the impures of sin.
From an HYMN to the MORNING. AURORA hail! and all the thousand dyes, That deck thy progress through the vaulted skies! The morn awakes, and wide-extends her rays, On every leaf the gentle zephyr plays.
From THOUGHTS on IMAGINATION. NOW here, now there, the roving Fancy flies, Till some lov'd object strikes her wand'ring eyes, Whole sicken fetters all the senses bind, And lost captivity involves the mind. Imagination! who can sing thy force, Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode, Th' empty palaces of the thund'ring God, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind; And leave the rolling universe behind; Till a far fairer mental object rove, Mentally to see, and range the realms above; There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul.
B O S T O N, June 5.
The first Monday in June, annually, being fixed by the charter of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, for the election of their officers, they accordingly on Monday last, exercised this privilege. At 10 o'clock they marched to the Council-Chamber, from whence they elected his Excellency the Governor, his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the Hon. Council, and the officers of the several independent corps in this town, who are not members of the company, to the Old-Briek meeting house—where, at the request of the company, the Rev. Mr. Olpool, of Medford, delivered a timely, and well adapted sermon. After divine service was performed, the Company escorted the Supreme Executive, several members of the Hon. Senate, the Hon. Speaker, and several members of the House of Representatives—the Secretary and Treasurer of the State—the Hon. Mr. King, the President of Harvard College, the Reverend Clergy of this town, and such of the Clergy belonging to other places, as were in town—the board of Selectmen, officers of Cavalry, the Artillery, Cadet, Light-Infantry and Fusilier Companies, and officers of various departments, gentlemen and foreigners of distinction, &c. to Faneuil Hall, where they were previously invited by the Company to dine—and where they partook at a sumptuous and elegant entertainment. The whole Company were seated at four large tables. The Hall was most beautifully decorated on the occasion. At the entrance was a large arch hung with fragrant flowers—bearing on the key stone the words, "Incorporated 1688." From the wall hung eleven large feloons of flowers of every dye and odour. At the head of the Hall, were seven PILLARS of wreaths, decorated with flowers, emblematic of the seven States, which have adopted the Federal Constitution—on the key stones of the arches, of which were painted in large characters, the names of the States: and behind them were fixed figures, almost as large as life, of their Excellencies the President of the Federal, and Massachusetts Conventions. The beautiful arrangement, and symmetry of these decorations excited the admiration and admiration at the company; as well as numerous spectators, and the fragrance of the flowers and the music of an excellent band, added great zest to the entertainment: After dinner the following toasts were drank.
 1. The Governor and Commonwealth.  2. The United States.  3. The States which have adopted the Constitution.  4. Speedy completion of the Federal Edifice.  5. Louis XVI. our illustrious ally, and the friend of the powers of Europe.  6. The Day.  7. General WASHINGTON.  8. The Militia of Massachusetts.  9. May our citizens prize the honor of being soldiers, and our soldiers never forget that they are citizens.  10. Our illustrious ancestors, who first laid the foundation of military knowledge in America, by the institution of this Company.  11. May benevolence and peace so far influence the citizens of the world, that the implements of war may with safety be converted into tools of husbandry.  12. The President, and University of Cambridge.  13. Freedom and peace to all mankind.  When the 7th toast was drank, Mr. Rea, sung "God save great Washington," in his usual style of excellence.
After dinner, the company marched into the common to a large square; and having elected their officers for the ensuing year, the company on invitation from his Excellency the Governor, repaired to his Excellency's house, and partook at a delicate repast provided for them. The company then escorted his Excellency, and other dignified characters, into the square—where the chair of state was provided for his Excellency, and seats for the other gentlemen of the procession. The whole being seated, the company passed the Commander in Chief, in review, and afterwards performed several evolutions and firings with exactness. After which Major General Brooks, and the other officers of the company, resigned to his Excellency the insignia of their stations, and the commands they held—who having invested the officers elected to serve the ensuing year, with their other badges, the latter received from the Commander in Chief, the insignia and command, resigned to him—Major General Lincoln, that of Captain—Colonel, Winlow, that of Lieutenant; and Capt. Jonnier, that of Ensign.
The ceremonies being finished, the company escorted a number of gentlemen of the General Court, Clergy and Military to the Hall, where a most elegant entertainment was provided, and in festivity and good humor closed this pleasing and brilliant anniversary.

P E T E R S B U R G, May 29.
A Gentleman personally acquainted with an easy, safe and expeditious route to Kentucky, has favored us with the following account to lay before our readers, for the information of those who incline to visit or remove to that country:
There is a safe and easy route from this quarter through Greenbrier and by way of the Great Kanawha river; the distances are as follows: from Richmond to Staunton, 120 miles;—from Staunton to Greenbrier Court-House, 100 miles, where provision may be had for a further journey;—from Greenbrier Court-House to Morris's, on the Kanawha, 85 miles; at this place boats may be had from Morris to the Ohio, taking the meanders of the River, 80 miles, by which means will be avoided the disagreeable shoals of the Ohio, and near 300 miles saved in distance. To the Kanawha there is a waggon road, acknowledged to be preferable to any other which crosses the Allegany Mountain; between Morris's and the Ohio, there are settlements at intermediate distances on both sides of the Kanawha; besides which a well appointed company of soldiers are kept in service for the sole purpose of protecting the inhabitants, and repelling the Indians if they attempt to molest. There are a few shoals in the Kanawha, which are neither dangerous or inconvenient, and which may be particularly described by the inhabitant. The river is generally 300 yards wide, of easy descent, and at the shoals free from rocks. This route may be performed with nearly as much convenience in going by the Sweet Springs in Botetourt County.
B A L T I M O R E, June 3.

N E W - Y O R K, June 12.
A few days since was landed in Boston, from this city, two pieces of brass artillery. They were, while under a British guard, in Boston, taken from the carriages and safely conveyed to Dorchester, and have been used in 17 engagements, during the late war, one of them having been taken by the enemy and retaken several times. Gen. Knox, in a letter to the Governor of Massachusetts, communicated to the Legislature of that State, after mentioning that Congress had adopted the resolve, published in our paper of the 27th ult. says, "that when he shall be in Boston, which will be in the course of the present month, he will agree with Mr. Gulliver, to engrave such facts on the cannon, as shall be directed."
Extract of a letter from Aliacat, March 4.
The last accounts from Barbary mention, that the Dey of Algiers has given orders to fit out seven of his largest men of war with the greatest expedition, all of which are to carry the bloody flag; they are to be commanded by some of the bravest and most experienced officers in his navy, men who have signified themselves in repeated acts of invincible courage; and so fully bent is that Prince on having each manned with fellows equally daring and resolute, that he has given strict charge to the Captains, not to receive a man on board but such as has been, at least, three cruises in some of the Algerine corsairs. It is thought his armament will be ready in the middle of April, at farthest, and most people think its destination is to assist the Porte against the Russians.
Two barks will be added to the fleet, one of 28, and the other of 16 guns; the Captain of the former is said to be Sidi Abdallah, an English renegado, a very bold intrepid fellow, whose courage has often been evinced in numberless conflicts. The latter has but one gun, yet he fires a blunderbuss with much dexterity, and is allowed to be one of the best navigators in the Dey's service.
Some idea may be formed of the Algerines, even at this enlightened period of time, by the following account of their punishments, as regulated by the present Dey, given to a correspondent in Lingua Franca, by Mahomet al Omar, the Algerine, who some time since figured as an African of condition in Dublin.
All those who are convicted of a conspiracy or treason, are impaled; that is, a sharp spit run up their body, on which they are left to wither in torment till they die; others are bound hand and foot, and cast from a high wall or tower, upon an iron hook, whereon they are sometimes stuck by the belly, head, or other parts of the body, where they sometimes languish many days, till death puts an end to their tortures. Many are tied with a rope about the middle, and with four sharp spikes, fastened to a cross against the city wall, they are torn alive piece-meal; others are brayed to pieces in a mortar.
They have another mode of punishment, which exceeds every idea of Indian barbarity. Two hooks are fixed to a gallows, the one fastened to a short, the other to a long chain. The Malefactor is forced up the ladder with the executioner, who, thrusting the hook through his left hand, hangs him by it on the shortest chain; then to the hook on the longest, he fastens him by the sole of his right foot, where he hangs some days in the most insufferable torment, till he dies.
Such are the ferocious manners of those inveterate barbarians, who do not compose two million of people, and yet have been so long suffered to render themselves a terror to all Europe, and even the northern States of America.
The following curious circumstance, which happened lately in the neighborhood of Trenton, may be depended on as a fact.—About the middle of April last a turkey hen belonging to Mr. Reuben Potter, of Black Hollow, near Arneytown, was set on nine eggs; at the end of four weeks they looked at the eggs, but there was none hatched; they daily looked, being over the usual time, and at the end of five weeks, to their great surprise, they found eighteen turkeys hatched, two and two fastened together by the wings and end of their little toes as they came out of the shell—the owner separated them with a sharp knife; one of them was hurt in parting, and is dead; seventeen are now living, and in a thriving condition.

Last week was married, Mr. JOHN REIDE, Bookseller, to Miss BARBARA M C GREGOR, both of this city.
Yesterday morning departed this life, in the forty-sixth year of age, to the great regret of all her acquaintance, Mrs. LYDIA LOUDON, wife of Mr. SAMUEL LOUDON, State Printer, and sister to his Excellency MATTHEW GRISWOLD, Esq. late Governor of Connecticut.
An enumeration of this lady's virtues would rather seem a portrait of human excellence, than an unadorned sketch of perfections which not excellence. Her worth was inestimable—her loss is irreparable. In all the tender connections of society, her amiable deportment commanded love, esteem, respect, and veneration. She was the best of wives—the tenderest of parents—and a zealous and devout Christian, in principle and practice. The tedious stage of a lingering indisposition afforded an ample display of her patience and resignation to the divine will: fortified and comforted by the religion of which she was an exemplary member, she welcomed the melancholy instant of corporeal dissolution with a cheerful serenity, as the commencement of a happy futurity—and, at the awful FIAT of the ETERNAL, resigned life without a pang!
DIED, on Monday last, the 9th inst. at Philadelphia, on his return from Carolina, where he had been for the benefit of his health, Mr. MATTHEW WETZELL, merchant, of this city; he was a young gentleman of an amiable character, and much esteemed by a numerous and respectable acquaintance.
ADDRESS to the Honorable the Members of the CONVENTION of VIRGINIA.
(Said to be written by Tench Coxe, Esq.) (Continued from Tuesday's paper.)
THE distracted state of our affairs has exceedingly retarded population and manufactures, and interrupted the influx of knowledge and riches. At the return of peace, the European world viewed America with the tender and respectful admiration of a lover to his mistress. Their peafantry and manufacturers, their merchants and philosophers, were seized with an irresistible desire to visit our shores, and many of them looked towards this country as another land of promise, to spend the remainder of their days. What has prevented their realising their fond ideas? The insecurity of property, the breach or suspension of public and private obligations, paper tenders, instructions as against State governments of our own choice, contentions among the States, and a total disregard of the most salutary and just demands of the general government. They knew us to be a people capable of great exertion. They saw we possessed a country replete with the means of private happiness and national importance, but they saw too that these inestimable properties of the Americans and their dominions were not brought into any use, from the defects of our political arrangement, and the enormous abuses in our administration. Their beloved mistress having fallen from the heights of virtue, and become a wanton, they turned from her with disgust and bitterness. Ye friends of religion and morality! ye lovers of liberty and mankind! will ye not seize this opportunity proffered you by the bounty of heaven, and save your country from contempt and wretchedness?
The voice of the people, say the most noble champions of freedom, is the voice of God. Before the ratification of the new government by the State of Maryland, the constituents of the Convention, which had then adopted it, were a majority of the free people of the United States. Viewing us as one nation, the Constitution had then received the solemn authoritative sanction of the people. But as Maryland has since added her number, and as it is next to certain that the adoption of South-Carolina will take place before the rising of your Honorable House, you will view the Constitution as ratified by nearly two thirds of the union. After that event, you will find, too, that of eight Conventions, which have determined on it, all have given it their approbation, and among them, two, containing larger numbers of free citizens than any three that are yet to decide. Rhode-Island, we know, has rejected the government in an informal way; but we cannot injure you, even for a moment, by supposing, that their principles and conduct could ever have intimated themselves into your minds. We trust you will concur with us in thinking, that as the considerate approbation of the wise and good is a fair argument in favor of a public measure, so its deliberate rejection by the weak and wicked.
The capacities of some parts of America are admirably adapted to supply the wants of others. New-England, destitute of iron, and deficient in grain, can be plentifully supplied with both from the middle States. Possessed of the fisheries, and strongly inclined to ship-building, and navigation, she can be furnished with the choicest timber from the Carolinas and Georgia. The southern States, so intersected by great waters, are to be exposed to the depredations of the most contemptible fleets, and crowded with a dangerous species of population, when proper arrangements shall be made, and occasion shall require, can rely on the most useful and friendly aid from the North. The future wars among the naval powers of Europe, will probably be general. When the house of Bourbon shall contend with Great Britain for the dominion of the ocean, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Portugal, will seldom be unconcerned spectators. The prosperity of agriculture in the Southern States in the event of a general war in Europe, will depend on
the shipping of the middle and Eastern States; for the belligerent powers will navigate under a very high insurance, and their ships will moreover be a precarious dependence, from the innumerable accidents of war. It may be said, the Southern States will have shipping of their own, of which there can be no doubt, so far as the state of commerce may render them profitable in time of peace; but the Indian and vigorous exertions of the States inhabited by free whites, can alone furnish an immediate supply for the retiring vessels of the belligerent foreigners.
We are to suppose for a moment that Virginia had rejected the proposed Constitution, and that Georgia, South Carolina and Maryland were Members of the new confederacy, the agricultural interests of Virginia would be exceedingly injured. The supplies of tobacco, tarr, wheat, flour, cotton, corn, naval stores, and timber, required for the consumption, manufactures, and ships of the new union, would doubtless be taken from the states that should belong to it, while the interfering produce of Virginia probably would not be admitted; or, if admitted, would be liable to the foreign impost of five per cent. Every hundred of her tobacco would pay one fourth of a dollar in Boston, New-York or Philadelphia, every barrel of her flour one fifth of a dollar, every hundred weight of her cotton a dollar and two thirds, every bushel of her wheat above two pence sterling; a tax greatly superior in value to the revenue imposed, under her present law, on the exportation of her own produce. Besides this, the expense of maintaining a separate establishment in government at home and abroad, would come heavily on Virginia and those States that might join a small confederacy. This expense, we may almost venture to affirm, would be insupportable, especially when we consider the present state of money matters in every part of America.
Should Virginia entertain the idea of a small confederacy, would it not be wise to consider, who would probably unite in it, and upon what terms? From the debates in the Connecticut and Massachusetts Conventions, as well as the dispositions and habits of those genuine republicans, it is probable that they would consent to give you a share of power, greater than your proportion of free white inhabitants; or is it probable, that your nearest neighbor, North Carolina, would consent to it, without your paying into the common treasury the near proceeds of all duties on imports and exports, a great part of which is raised on their consumption? It would now be in vain, should New-York refuse a share of her impost to Connecticut and New-Jersey, or Pennsylvania a share of hers to New-Jersey and Delaware; or Virginia a share to her neighbors to North Carolina. It is an idea as just as it is generous and liberal, that the imports of the United States should go into a common treasury, belonging to all who pay them, by being the consumers: and if North Carolina has a clear conception of her most evident interest, she must make this article a sine qua non in any compact that may be proposed to her by your State.
