AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

A STANDING ARMY, AND A BILL OF RIGHTS. Nullus additus jurare in Verba Magistri. —Horace
This excellent Performance ought, for the solid and serious Truths it contains, like the Bible and the Letters of Junius, to be in the Hands of every real Friend to American Liberty—In the Language of the sacred Law, "Teach them diligently unto thy Children—talk of them when thou sittest in thine House—and when thou walkest by the Way." Impress it on their tender Minds, as the first Article of their political Creed, That there is no Government safe with a Standing Army, and there is no Government that is not safe without one.

The PROPRIETORS of the New-York and Philadelphia
NEW LINE ***** STAGE AND FOUR HORSES. ***** STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark, and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia, RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles- Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia, proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison's, George Inn, Phi- ladelphia, at three o'clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Pow- les Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sun- day) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of bag- gage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is per- formed in half the time.
Letters, Newspapers, &c. left at the New- York, Albany, and Philadelphia stage office, kept by Christopher Beckman, in Courtlands-street, New- York, and with Mr. Michael Dennison, at the George Inn, corner of Arch and Second-street, Philadelphia, will be safely conveyed gratis.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By first attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every after- noon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Eli- zabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Eli- zabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge- town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line.

Foreign Intelligence.
Further advices extracted from papers received by the late arrivals.
COPENHAGEN, April 1. THOUGH many of our young officers, both of land and sea, presented themselves to enter into the service of the Imperial Courts, the Empress of Russia has only engaged six. They will, by what we learn, have their dismissal from our service, but they will at the same time keep their appointments.
Paul Jones (who is not blind, nor retired, as some papers announced) has likewise entered into the Russian service. The Russian Minister, residing here, has remitted him one thousand Dutch ducats, and by what we learn he is engaged on very favourable conditions, and will in consequence set off soon for Petersburg by the way of Sweden.
VIENNA, April 2. To secure the inhabitants of the frontiers nearest Czernowitz, in Buckowina, from being surprised by the vagabond Tartars, Prince Saxe Cobourg has distributed 300 fusils and 4000 ball cartridges among them, besides which a detachment of artillery is ordered to post itself with twelve cannon at Skuptze. Advice arriving that some battalions of Russian troops were to join our's immediately, it was resolved to make the enemy's country the seat of war; in consequence of which General Schmetzing penetrated into the Ottoman Territory, and took nine of the enemy's villages; the line was afterwards extended along the Neisser as far as the frontiers of Transylvania. On the 20th inst. the Russian van guard, consisting of two battalions of Grenadiers, and as many Fuzileers, were to join our right; and we expect, as soon as the weather will permit, to begin the siege of Choczim, for which Major-General Jordis has made all the necessary preparations.
April 5. The Emperor has, on account of the unhealthy situation of Futack, removed the head quarters from thence to Carlowitz, which is nearer to Semlin. The incessant wet weather, has prevented the army from encamping.
BERLIN, April 5. We are assured that the King will in a short time issue an edict prohibiting the transportation of Prussian money, as above one million of gold Fredericks and Williams have been sent by Hamburg into England, where they have been melted and coined into guineas.
AUGSBURGH, March 22. We hear from Trieste, that they design to establish floating batteries wherever they may be judged necessary, and that similar ones will likewise be established at Fiume, Buccari, Zeng, and Portore.
According to letters from Vienna it seems that the Bacha of Scutari wishes to conclude a treaty with the two Imperial Courts, according to which he will make a diversion against the Ottomans in their favour.
MADRID, March 15. We continue to receive melancholy accounts of the damage done by the inundations in many parts of the kingdom. The greatest part of the city of Valladolid has been entirely carried away by the river Esgueva, which runs under its walls. A great number of houses, convents, and churches were thrown down, and the countries round about entirely overwhelmed. On the other hand, the extraordinary rains which last year ravaged the kingdoms of Navarre and Arragon have been succeeded by a dryness that makes them dread a famine. In many parts of Catalonia they have felt many shocks of earthquakes, but particularly in the city of Urgel on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of last January. At Tolosa, in Biscay, where it is supposed the centre of of this terrible phenomenon was, they had many violent shocks which threw down several public buildings, and a number of houses.
NAPLES, March 18. We learn from Malta, that Admiral Condulmer's Squadron has failed, which we did not think it would have done so soon.
The Royal Navy of the two Sicilies consists at present of one ship of 74 guns, one of 60, and one of 50, four frigates of 40, and two of 32, four Xebecs of 20 guns, three sloops from 12 to 18, four brigantines of 12, ten galliots, and two packet-boats of 14 guns.
DUBLIN, April 21. A motion of a very serious nature would have been brought forward on Saturday evening, in the house of commons, had it not been for the prorogation. The bill for encouraging the cordage manufacture has detained at the other side, and a question of much consequence arises from the
circumstance. Since the repeal of Poynning's law it is understood that no British attorney general shall have it in his power to cushion the bills of the Irish parliament. In case of dislike they are to be returned, and the lord lieutenant, as representative of majesty, is to proceed in the usual manner to the house of peers, and inform the lords and commons, in mild and constitutional language—"Le Roys avisera"—"the king will advise upon it."
LONDON, April 22. The resignation of Earl Mansfield, as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, was accepted on Sunday; and it is expected that Sir Lloyd Kenyon will be appointed his successor.
The Duke of Dorset, our Ambassador at the Court of France, this day returns to Paris.
The Marquis of Buckingham, it is said, would accept the Admiralty, should a vacancy at that board take place.
The Treaty with the Dutch is fairly attributed, beyond the mutual expedience of the two nations, to the active skill of Sir James Harris.
M. L'Abbe Sabbatier, one of the Magistrates exiled with the Duke of Orleans, obtains permission to go to Arles en Provence, but without passing through Paris.
Louvain, and the opposition there, has been so well managed, that the Emperor is expected to give up the contest.
The Emperor, it is supposed, will not stay with the army after the opening of the Campaign.
The Turkish army, scarcely less than their enemy, begin to experience what it is not to be over fed.
April 24. The late remonstrance of the Parliament of Paris is of greater length than either of their former representations. The King's answer to it is rather long in proportion.—His Majesty has argued the subject of it with greater moderation than he has hitherto condescended to do.
His Majesty's answer of last Thursday to the Parliament of Paris, is far milder than was expected; from the formality of the summons to the Peers of Parliament, to meet the King at Versailles, something decisive was expected, and that his Majesty meant formally to announce his intention of restricting the prerogatives of Parliament. But his answer has settled things for the present, though the evil day is only put off for a short time.
The Turks, in all probability, will soon experience the loss of Baron de Tott, thro' whose abilities and skill in military tactics the Russians had been prevented, during the last war, from forcing the passage of the Dardanelles and attacking Constantinople. He had the large and unmanageable cannon melted down, and small ones cast of thirty and forty pounders, and the Turkish soldiers were disciplined in the use of them till they became expert, and every approach to that capital was properly fortified and defended. There is no doubt, however, but they will profit by their former example; but the Turks will stand much more in need of the assistance of able commanders and engineers this war, than the last, as having double the force to contend with, and probably attacked on every side of their European territories, and even on part of their Asiatic provinces adjoining the Black Sea. It is however a mistake to suppose them unacquainted with the use of fire arms, yet they have no bayonets affixed to their pieces, but carry a sabre. Bayonets were of French invention, and adopted at the beginning of the present century.
The generous humanity of the English character, frequently gets the better of its understanding. It had that effect in the business of the slave trade, and seems to have operated very powerfully in support of Mr. Bastard's motion.
To supply the poor with work should be the object of those laws which are formed for their regulation. Ever since this principle has been departed from, miserable shifts and lame expedients have from time to time been adopted, in order to patch up the flaws occasioned by this neglect.
To make the people work is to make them happy. There is not, indeed, a more necessary or more certain maxim in the frame and constitution of society, than that every individual must contribute his share, in order to the well being of the community, and surely they must be very deficient in sound policy, who suffer one half of a parish to continue idle, dissolute and unemployed, and at length are amazed to find, that the industry of the other half is not able to maintain the whole.
WESTMINSTER-HALL. IMPEACHMENT OF WARREN HASTINGS, ESQ. EIGHTEENTH DAY. Those were in good luck who did not procure tickets of admission for yesterday's continuation of this impeachment. All that passed was some readings by the Clerk of the House of Lords from the correspondence between Mr. Briftow, the Resident at Lucknow, and the Governor General, on the subject of the Begums; the treaty made be-
between the East-India Company and these Princesses; and lastly the treaty of 1788, between the Company and the Nabob Vizier. The whole was directed to prove that Mr. Hastings had formerly very warmly espoused the cause of these Princesses, and had latterly altered his conduct, and treated them with the greatest severity.
The Company for the most part retired at a very early hour, and the Court adjourned to this day.
PARIS. Expectation is at the highest, and serious indeed are the apprehensions of the people, on account of the summons issued by the king to the nobility.
We look forward to measures of rigour and provocation—but the people have spirit and among the nobles they have friends.
The Duke de Chartres declines undertaking his intended journey, and it is the general opinion, that his absence was wished for from motives of policy, as his presence, even in durance, must have a material influence.
A letter which we have been favored with from the Cape of Good Hope, by a gentleman on board the Sirius man of war, pointedly contradicts the assertion contained in some of our public prints, relative to amutinous spirit having prevailed among the convicts on board several ships in convoy to New-Holland: the conduct of the prisoners was, during the whole of the voyage they performed, uncommonly regular; they were permitted every day for a certain number of hours to come upon deck, where they conducted themselves with the utmost propriety. Some little pilferings took place among themselves; in every instance of which, the delinquent was delivered over to be tried by his Peers; the officers of the ship never interfering further, than to mitigate the punishment when it appeared too severe for the offence. The only attempt they made to escape, was by a man from the Sirius, who leaped overboard after the arrival of the fleet at the Cape, and endeavoured to gain the shore by swimming; but being overtaken by a boat from the ship, was re-conveyed on board, and secured in irons, where he was to remain during the rest of the voyage; and on landing, be given up and punished at the discretion of the court of convicts.
During the voyage, the ship's crew and convicts were uncommonly healthy, which was greatly attributed to the strict regard paid to cleanliness, and the copious admission of fresh air between decks, as well as to a plentiful distribution of pickles, occasional supplies of green vegetables and new beer.
At the Cape of Good Hope, the fleet not only re-victualled, but completed its number of domestics and useful animals intended to flock the new settlement; the greater number of which being on board the Sirius, gave that ship very much the appearance of Noah's Ark during the deluge.
The best and most recent authorities give the following as the statement of the revenues, and of the force by sea and land, of Austria, and Turkey:—
   Revenue Russia 5,800,000 Sterl.   Austria 12,400,000   Turkey 5,000,000   Land forces Russia 290,000 Men.   Austria 282,000   Turkey 300,000   Naval forces Russia 63 Ships of war.   Turkey 60  
Of the 63 armed ships belonging to Russia, 24 are of the line.
Another convoy will again shortly sail to Botany Bay, with the convicts that have been for some time past collecting from different gaols of the kingdom.
The Spaniards have now thirty ships of war ready to sail at a few hours warning.
The naval half-pay list consists, at this time, of upwards of two thousand commissioned officers, of whom 100 left for employment above the Post-captain List for employment.
   The particulars are as follows:   Admirals — 56   Superannuated Rear-Admirals, at 17s. 6d. per day — 14   Superannuated Captains, 10s. per day — 27   Total 97   Post Captains — 424   Masters and Commanders — 181   Lieutenants — 1343   Total 2045  
DUTCH TREATY. Treaty of Defensive Alliance between his Majesty the King of Great-Britain, and their Noble and High Mightinesses the States General.
THE natural and sincere friendship which has subsisted for so long a time between his Majesty the King of Great-Britain and their High Mightinesses having received fresh force and increase by the interest which his Britannic Majesty has recently manifested for the conservation of the independence of the Republic, and of the constitution as by law established, his said Majesty and their
High Mightinesses have resolved, in order to cement in the most solid and durable manner, harmony, confidence, and intercourse between them, to form permanent engagements by a treaty of defensive alliance for the good of both parties, and for the maintenance of their general and separate tranquility. To fulfil this salutary end, his Majesty the King of Great-Britain has named and authorised Sir James Harris, his Ambassador Extraordinary to the States General, and their High Mightinesses the States General of the United Provinces have named and authorised M. Vander Spiegel, Great Pensionary of Holland.
The above named, after having communicated their full powers in due form, and after having conferred with each other, agreed to the following articles:
ARTICLE, I. There shall be a sincere amity and union, firm and constant, between his Britannic Majesty, his heirs, and successors, and the above mentioned States General; so that the high contracting power shall direct the greatest attention to maintain between them, their states and subjects, that friendship and reciprocal intercourse; and they engage to contribute, as much as in their power, to preserve and defend each other mutually in peace and tranquility.
ARTICLE, II. In case one of the contracting powers shall be hostily attacked by any European power, in any part of the world, the other contracting power engages to succour its ally as well by sea as land, to guarantee and maintain each other mutually in possession of all their estates, domains, towns, places, franchises, and liberties, belonging to them respectively, before the hostilities commenced.
ARTICLE, III. His Britannic Majesty guarantees in the most efficacious manner the hereditary State-holdership of each province in the Serene House of Orange, with all its charges and prerogatives, as forming an essential part of the constitution of the United Provinces, according to the resolutions and diplomas of the year 1747 and 1748, by virtue of which the present Stadtholder entered into possession of the whole charges in 1766, and has been reinstated in them in the year 1788, engaging himself to maintain that form of government against all attacks whether direct or indirect, or of what nature soever.
ARTICLE, IV. The succours mentioned in the second article of this treaty shall consist on the part of his Britannic Majesty of 8000 infantry, 2000 cavalry, 12 ships of the line, and eight frigates, and on the part of the States General of 5000 infantry, 1000 cavalry, 8 ships of the line, and 8 frigates, which respective succours shall be provided in two months after requisition has been made by the party attacked, and shall remain at its disposal, during the whole continuance of the war in which it shall be engaged; and these succours, whether in ships, frigates, or troops, shall be paid and kept up by the power supplying them, whenever its ally may chuse the should act.
ARTICLE V. In case the stipulated succours shall not be sufficient for the defence of the requesting power, the required power shall successively augment them, according to the necessities of its ally; it shall assist also with its whole force, if circumstances should demand it;—but it is expressly agreed in all cases, that the contingent of the states general shall not exceed the valuation of 10,000 infantry, 2000 cavalry, 16 ships of the line, and 16 frigates.
ARTICLE VI. But as it may happen, considering the distance of the profession of the contracting powers, that the advantages which should reciprocally result from the conclusion of the present treaty, become illusory for the mutual defence of those possessions, before the respective governments could receive orders from Europe, it is stipulated and agreed, that in case one of them shall be hostily attacked, whether in Africa or Asia, or by an European power, that it shall be enjoined to the governor of their establishment in those parts of the world to furnish succour in the most speedy and efficacious manner to the party attacked, or menaced with an attack; and orders to that effect shall be expedited to the said governor, immediately after the conclusion of the said treaty, and the high contracting powers shall not permit the ships of war of their attacking powers to enter into any of their ports in said establishment, until peace between the contracting power and the ally of the contracting party shall be established, unless the said vessels shall be compelled to take refuge there to avoid perishing, or being shipwrecked.
ARTICLE VII. If it should happen, that the two high contracting powers should be equally engaged in war against a common enemy, they reciprocally promise not to disarm but by common consent, and they will confidentially furnish each other with any propositions of peace or of truce that may be made them.
ARTICLE VIII. If the high contracting powers wish to furnish their supply of troops in money, it

shall be free for either party to it, according to a valuation which shall be made in a separate article.
ARTICLE IX.
The requiring power shall be obliged, whether the ships, frigates and troops with which it may be supplied, remain for a long or short time in their ports, to provide whatever may be necessary for them, at the same price as to their own ships, frigates, or troops. It has been also agreed, that in no case shall the laid troops or vessels be at the charge of the requiring party, but they shall nevertheless be at their own disposal during the whole duration of the war in which it shall be engaged. The succours alluded to shall be entirely regulated according to the orders of the chiefs who command them, and shall not be employed separately, nor together, but in concert with the said chiefs; as to their operations, they shall be entirely subjected to the orders of the commander in chief of the requiring power.
ARTICLE X.
In the mean time it is agreed that the two powers shall form a treaty of commerce, that the subjects of the republic shall be treated in the kingdoms of Great-Britain and Ireland, as the most favored nation; and the same shall be observed in the United Provinces towards the subjects of his Britannic Majesty. It is however to be understood that this article does not extend to a diminution of the importation duties.
As by the 4th art. of the treaty of peace, signed in the year 1784, his Britannic Majesty engaged to treat with the states general for the restitution of Negapatnam, with its dependencies, in case the said states general should have in future any equivalent to offer for it; and as their high mightinesses have renewed their desire of obtaining that restitution, as well as for fixing and determining precisely the sense of the 6th article of the same treaty, concerning the navigation of British subjects in the Oriental seas, his Britannic Majesty, in testimony of his good will to the republic, is disposed to concur with the views of their high mightinesses, and at the same time to assure the republic of the new and real advantages of commerce in that part of the world, as soon as an equivalent shall be fixed upon, for which his Britannic Majesty will require nothing unfavorable to the interests and reciprocal surety of the two contracting powers in the Indies; and that the associations for such arrangements may not impede the conclusion of the present treaty, it is agreed that they shall be settled as soon as possible, and be determined in the space of six months after the date of the present treaty; and that the convention which shall be made, shall have the same force as if inserted in the treaty itself.
Separate Article.
In consequence of the 8th art. of the treaty of alliance, the two high contracting parties do agree, that in case the stipulated succours be supplied in money, they shall be computed at 100,000. Dutch florins per annum, for every 1000 infantry, and 120,000 of the same value for every 1000 cavalry per annum: or in the same proportion by the month.
American Occurrences.
WINCHESTER, June 11.
A Gentleman recently from the back country, confirms the account of Mr. Whitefield having been deputed by the commissioners of South-Carolina and Georgia appointed by Congress for that purpose, to propose a cessation of hostilities with the Creek Indians, as a prelude to adjust the unhappy differences which have for some time past subsisted between the inhabitants on the frontiers of those states and that nation and fix their future peace and tranquillity on the most permanent basis. Mr. Gillmor, head king of the Greeks, has often signified his approbation of treating with Congress; but is totally averse to paying any attention to what may be offered on that subject by individual states. Mr. Whitefield was conducted to the Creek nation by an intelligent and friendly Cherokee. It is thought all matters in dispute will be amicably settled by the first of August next.
A few weeks ago we announced that the house of Mr. Shierard, merchant, in this town, was broke open and robbed. It has since been discovered that a person who calls himself John Boyde, lately committed to prison here, as a runaway, was the perpetrator thereof. Boyde having concealed the ill got wealth in the hollow of a tree, entrusted the secret with a fellow prisoner who betrayed him. On examination before a magistrate Boyde utterly denied the commission of the fact, and insinuated that the person who appeared as an evidence against him was the thief. This fallacy was easily seen through by the magistrate, and Boyde was re-committed to prison, on a strong suspicion of his having committed the burglary.

YESTERDAY arrived the sloop Rambler, from Edenton, North-Carolina, in 10 days.
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, dated June 18.
“Unanimity and harmony reigns among the anti-federalists in convention.—The promptitude with which they assembled, their concurrence in sentiment, and their determination to bend their force to the same point, are the happiest evidences thereof, and shut out the shadow of hope, in the federalists, of creating divisions.”
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, dated June 28.
“Yesterday the Chancellor made the opening speech. The great objects of which were to shew the defects of the general government, and the necessity, therefore, of a new one—that is, the present proposed one. Confederacies, in general, were reprobated—as instances of weakness and imperfections. The calamities of war were painted in glowing colours, as the result to this state, if they refused to receive the Olive Branch, to wit—the New Constitution. Our ports were open to the south for invaders—the Savages and the British were on our west; in short, Heaven, armed with the elements, was ready to pour down vengeance; state officers were requested to divest themselves, in the consideration of this business, of their attachment to their dignity and interests,—after which the Convention adjourned until this morning, when they proceeded to debate the subject by clauses. No debate ensued until they arrived at the clause relative to the appointment, and increase of representation, in which Mr. Lansing, the Chancellor—briefly, Mr. Smith and Mr. Hamilton engaged.—Mr. Smith preceded the argument, on this head, with general observations on the Chancellor's speech of yesterday, in which he corrected him for his insinuations relative to the suggestion of bias on state officers; took off the force of his observation on the necessity of adopting the present plan in toto, and descended on some historic facts, which he had recited in his speech of yesterday.—He then came to the ground of the argument, and in a clear and argumentative manner, delivered his opinion on that clause, to which Mr. Hamilton replied. Mr. Smith then proposed an amendment, which lies over for consideration until to-morrow.”
A correspondent, who was present at the Lecture on Heads, &c. exhibited on Saturday evening last, by Mr. M c Pherzon, expresses his sorrow, that merit is so often neglected; and particularly in this instance, as it was visible, that Mr. M c Pherzon had greatly exerted himself to amuse a large and brilliant auditory, as he really did a small and respectable one. Our correspondent adds, that the Heads were exceedingly well presented; that his contrast between the Heads of the great American Fabius, and Alexander the Great, was a very just and striking one, and discovered great discernment and ingenuity in the contraster; that the Lawyer's Head was well handled; and that the London Blood, and Bucks have at ye, with the occasional Prologues, were exceedingly well performed, constituting together an almost complete epitome of human nature, and a rational entertainment. In short, Mr. M c Pherzon, who never has had a fair opportunity to display his theatrical talents on the New-York stage, here gave full proofs of his possessing a retentive memory, a large proportion of the imitative powers, an excellent emphasis, with a stateliness in gesture and delivery, which, a little corrected, would render him a very formidable competitor to the best performers in the Old American Company.
Extract of a letter from a member of the convention of Virginia, dated June 13.
“This day has been wholly occupied in endeavouring to gain over the members from the Kentucky district, who are alarmed with an idea, that the power of making treaties, which shall be the supreme law of the land, vested as it is in the president and senate, will be exercised, in some fatal moment, to the prejudice of their right, to the navigation of the Mississippi. Both parties have been exerting their utmost efforts. Under the ill founded apprehension that these men hold the scale between them—I say ill founded, because my calculations, leaving them in opposition to us, give us a majority of nine or ten. However, I believe they are divided—and, after all, we have more to hope than to fear from their change of sentiment.”
Accounts from Tolon, of April 7, say:—We are in daily expectation here of the arrival of the ambassadors from Tippoo Saib; some say his son is to come with them, but that cannot be, as he is only twelve years old. The court has given precise orders to use the greatest dispatch and magnificence in their preparations to receive them: They have fitted up the hotel of the commander of the Marine for their reception, and have fetched carriages for them from Marseilles. The same preparations are ordered at Brest, where they are to land. They have likewise sent some of his Majesty's coaches for their use,
They did not use the same ceremony when it was intended to receive them here, on account, without doubt, of the great distance of the two places. The following detail of the ceremony to be observed on their arrival may be worth notice:
When the ship they are on board enters the road it will be saluted by the Bark L'Ecclair with 15 guns. This salute will be repeated by all the batteries and forts in the road, and the admiral's vessel moored at the entrance of the old port. Ten boats will be immediately dispatched, commanded by the officers of the marine, to receive on board the ambassadors and their suite, and as soon as the first sloop enters the arsenal on its return it will be saluted by the admiral's vessel a second time with 15 guns. The ambassadors on their landing will be received by the director-general of the port, attended by a number of officers of the marine, and will proceed along the quay between two lines, formed by marine troops, as far as the gate of the arsenal. They will then enter into a hall with perfumes burning, where all sorts of refreshments will be offered them according to their customs; they will afterwards go in a coach to the commander of the marine hotel between a line of troops, where they will find an honorary guard of 50 men; they will then proceed to the hall of audience, where Mr. Albert, commander of the Marine will meet them in the middle of the room, and embrace them in the name of the King; he will afterwards place them on a seat covered with a canopy, and ornamented with the King's picture. The chief officers belonging to the Ambassador will remain in the hall. They will afterwards present the Ambassadors with some diversions, for which purpose a ball-room will be prepared in the garden, decorated in a rural manner, but with the utmost taste; there will likewise be a play, and at the theatres of Avignon, Aix, and this place, they will perform ballets and operas. It is thought the ambassadors will remain here till orders arrive from court what ceremony is to be observed on their route; we think they will not deprive themselves of a sight of the city of Marseilles which is so fit to give them an idea of our population and commerce.

POET'S CORNER.
ODE TO CONTENT.
Si Ubiq; animus si te non deficit agnus HOR. A NGELIC Seraphim! from Heav'n descend, And let thy suppliant kiss thy placid breast, Thy breast that never throbs With dull, despondent sighs, Or forms a wish, beyond what virtue prompts, Or beats envious of another's wealth. Fair peace, thy sister twin, Attends upon thy steps; One constant simple smiles upon thy cheek, And on thy brow sits fortitude serene, That overlooks the clouds Of complicated woe. Thy gracious eye can harmonize despair; For taught by thee the diabolic fiend, An instant convert grows, Exalted into hope. To what gay scenes of richly-chequer'd life Fortune may lead; whatever prospects wide The silver-finger'd nymph May point out to my view; Shed, shed, I pray, thy calm, thy temper'd ray, Mild, as the beam of heav'n on vernal flow'r, Or else my brain may swim, And loudly reason nod. And oh! (which health and industry forbid!) If stern adversity should knit her brow, And, deaf to pity's call, Enchain me in the cell, Where bashful poverty hangs down her head, And weeps in silent want a real tear; Be present to my aid, To thee alone I sue, Do thou, my good Samaritan, attend, And in my wounds infuse thy healing balm: So shall I thank my love And laugh my pains away. On this, my trust I build—for thou art good; And meek humility is thy precious badge; For oft-times when thou shalt The blazing pomp of courts, Then art thou seen upon the mountain's brow, Or gently straying o'er the rural vale, Or lifting up the latch Of the grave hermit's door.

This Day is published, and to be Sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-street, The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our Ame- rican Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and fas- tire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to becommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detesta- tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a hum- ble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteem- ed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having compleated what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Re- gained, though far from being destitute of merit is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that un- bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.
