A letter from the Viscount de Beaumont, Commander of the French squadron which lately failed from Boston, to an officer in Portsmouth, New-Hampshire belonging to his fleet, after requesting his immediate attendance, concludes thus: "We are ordered to sail immediately. It is probable we have a war with Great-Britain."
A gentleman from the Northward advises, that, as he was passing through Kingsborough, in Washington county, he was agreeably surprised to see, as it were, in a wilderness, Capt. Seth Sherwood, dressed in regimentals, at the head of a company of half young veterans, who performed the military manœuvres with the greatest dexterity. Captain Sherwood informed him, that a circle, which now contains seven companies, before the war contained but one only. If the frontiers of this state continue to populate in a similar proportion a few years more, what power will dare to disturb them?
On Monday the 10th inst. the General Assembly of Rhode-Island met at Newport, with somewhat more of a federal disposition, perhaps, than they had evinced at some former periods: They adjourned, the Saturday night following, to the last Monday of October. — In this session, they agreed on a letter to be sent to the President of Congress, informing him of the reasons why the Assembly had not sent Delegates to the Convention at Philadelphia; in order to do away the impressions unfavorable to that State, which had of late rested on the public mind, on that account. An act was passed, agreeably to a recommendation of Congress, declaring the treaty of peace fully and absolutely binding on all the citizens of that State, as the law of the land, in no wise to be receded from, misconstrued, or in any manner violated. A resolution was passed, reciting, that whereas a letter from his Excellency the President of Congress, dated the 13th day of August last, had been laid before the Assembly, informing, that but few Members had attended Congress of late, and requesting a representation of that State in Congress by their Delegates; — also setting forth, that that State is disposed to comply in all respects with the Articles of the Confederation, so far as is in their power, that it is expected matters of great national importance would come under the consideration of the Congress to be convened on the first Monday of November next — and therefore requiring two of their Delegates to attend, as the Representatives of that State, in the Congress of the United States, to convene on the said first Monday of November next, agreeably to the articles of the Confederation; — and
also requesting his Excellency the Governor to answer the said letter, and to inform the President of Congress of the measures taken by the Assembly for having that State duly represented in the Congress to meet on the first Monday of November next; and that they have not given orders for their Delegates going forward previous to that time, under an apprehension that the States will not be generally represented till the meeting of Congress for the next federal year, and that the more important matters of the Union will not be acted upon till that time — and assuring his Excellency the President of Congress, that it is the desire and intention of that State, to do every thing in their power for promoting the great objects of the Confederacy, the general welfare and happiness of the whole. The paper currency, from its depreciated state being productive of complicated injustice and mischief, claimed the attention of the Legislature; and, notwithstanding, there were more than 15,000,000 in the treasury, besides very considerable sums paying in daily from the taxes granted and assessed within little more than a year, it induced the Assembly to vote another tax of 30,000, in addition to the two last taxes of 20,000, each, to be assessed, collected, and paid into the treasury, by the 25th day of January next — as well for the purpose of appreciating the currency, as to induce the holders of the State securities to bring them in, and receive the paper money for them — supposing that drawing such large sums in quick succession from circulation, by taxes, would have a tendency to bring the paper money nearly upon a par with silver.
A set of gentlemen travelling in the interior parts of South-Carolina, were benighted in such a storm as if the jarring elements had combined for their destruction — even hope was nearly extinguished; but, when despair had almost risen to the summit, they beheld that four-cheering light to forlorn travellers — a light. To it they repaired with joyful hopes of finding an asylum from the storm. When they came to the place, it was a little cottage, half uncovered; and around a little fire were crowded the landlord, his wife and four children, and while the pealing thunder roared portentous over their heads, and through each open place the teeming rain descended, the host unconcernedly thrummed a tune upon a little kit, the strings of which were half broken. Our travellers were so astonished at this Stoic, that they forgot their wretched plight in admiration. Good God! exclaimed one, what can possibly be the reason that you do not thatch your house? Why, because it rains. Well, but, says another, why do you not cover it in fair weather? Because, Sir, then, you know (still playing on) there will be no occasion.
A French gentleman, Mr. Thouvenel, of science and veracity, gives a curious account of a man named Bleton, that feels the most extraordinary sensation in walking over ground that contains springs of water, or metallic and sulphureous mines. Many celebrated mineralogists have mentioned men endowed with the faculties of making discoveries from a singularity of feeling — but Bleton seems to exceed them all; there is not a doubt but he feels in the highest degree the subterraneous agency of electric bodies — his symptoms in walking over grounds that contain them are a visible spasmodic affection over his body, accompanied with feverish motions, heat and cold, a strange derangement of his organs and muscles, and a sudden change of his eyes and features. What appears very singular, so nice are his feelings, that he can to a certainty tell the nature of the fluid or mineral under him. He has marked out a place for a coal mine at Rouel, a small village, about two leagues West of Paris, and men are now employed in digging for it. The intendant of Lyons once consulted him upon finding out water for a well near his house. They were to proceed upon the operation next day; but Bleton had not long been in bed, when he rung his bell and informed the intendant, that he need seek no further for a water source, he was certain there was one under the ground of the very room in which he lay, as on going to bed he had been seized with aguish symptoms. Search was made, and the water was discovered. Sulphureous substances, he asserts, act with a centripetal — and watry ones with a centrifugal electricity.
UNITED STATES in Congress assembled, Friday, Sept. 28, 1787.
Present, New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia, and from Maryland Mr. Ross.
Congress having received the report of the Convention lately assembled in Philadelphia,
Resolved unanimously, that the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several Legislatures, in order to be submitted to a Convention of delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention made and provided in that case,
For the Daily Advertiser. To the FRIEND of the ORDER of CINCINNATI.
YOUR late philosophical requisition from the gaieties and amusements of the polite world ought to have been attended with more mental profit, and the literary character who so long enjoyed otium cum dignitate in the N** G** should have improved his mind so far at least as to have advocated the honorary cause with common sense.
When I compared you to the ass in South-America which was the carrier of others gold it was metaphorically applied to those literary asses who tamely carried other's knowledge. Since the discovery of your person, I find a very peculiar and happy luck in the simile, which is minutely perfect in all its parts. — The aldermanly Historian should have learned from the mushy page of history, that the three most noted informers were a harlot, an ass, and a goose. It was imprudent to write your elegant and classical essays at a Bagnio, and to trust the important secret of authorship to a professed Fille de Joie , who is communicative, and exposes her secrets even to a FOREIGNER. Sept. 29.

Resolved, That when the said offices shall cease as aforesaid, that all the books and papers pertaining thereto, shall be lodged in the office of the board of treasury, and that all the returns directed to be made to the said comptroller and auditor, shall after the first day of November, be made to the said board.
Resolved, That the said accountant and clerks, shall respectively take an oath of fidelity to the United States, and the oath of office. And the commissioners of the said board shall severally, before the tenth day of November next, renew their bonds given to the United States, in pursuance of the resolutions of Congress of February the 3d, and March the 15th, 1785, or give bonds and security to the United States, of the same tenor, force and effect, as those directed by the said resolutions, for the faithful execution of the trust reposed in them by these resolves, or any other acts of Congress; and shall also take an oath of fidelity to the United States, and the oath of office, certificates of which shall be filed with the secretary of Congress.
