PHILADELPHIA, April 17.
By a gentleman who left Baltimore last Monday afternoon, we are informed that Mr. Martin declares he will make no further opposition to the new plan of government, seeing so great a majority of the people of Maryland are in favor of it; that Mr. Martin's writings, like Centinel and Philadelphia, in this State, have made no impressions on the minds of the people, tho' in the language of Antifederalism, they are ranked with the Bible*; that he is despised in every County except one, and in all probability will not be suffered to continue in the office of Attorney General another year.

SPRINGFIELD, April 9.
We hear from Chester, that on Sunday se'night a young woman, by the name of Convas, daughter of Mr. Benjamin Convas, formerly of that place, delivered herself of a male bastard child, which, to hide her misfortune from the incharitable censures of the world, she murdered, and deposited it in a secret place.---The family in which she resided had, for some time previous to the taking place of this event, been suspicious that she was far advanced in her pregnancy, but this she had ever denied, in the most positive terms.---However, rising on Sunday morning somewhat later than her usual time, and her countenance bearing an aspect which she had not hitherto discovered, the suspicions of the family now began to be stronger than ever, whereupon they were led to conjecture what had happened; a search was accordingly made, and after some time, the child was found, rolled up in a bunch of tow, and put in a by part of the house.---On this discovery being made, she affirmed that the infant was still-born---upon which a Jury of inquest were summoned, who sat upon the body, and the purport of their verdict was, that the child was born alive; but that she inhumanly smothered it---on which she confessed the fact, and is now in safe custody.
We are informed, that Col. Brewer, of Tyringham, on the 30th ult. early in the morning, upon going out of his house, found lying before his door, a young child, supposed to be about three days old---There was left with it, two gowns, and six changes of necessary linen.
NEW-YORK, April 22.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, Jan. 5.
"A letter from the county of Galway mentions, that some nefarious fellow were lately apprehended in Cunnemara county, in the act of practising the stalking horse, for the villainous purpose of deceiving a ship in distress, when the wind blew hard in upon shore. The term, stalking horse, is a fellow with a lantern on a pole, who moves in the night, near a rocky shore, with a pace resembling that of a horse going slowly, and which, to a vessel at a distance, appears like the motion of a ship with the lights up.---This most infamous deception, which has been long practiced in Cunnemara county has been often the means of enticing many ships in upon shore, and which, when wrecked, have been plundered by the villainous perpetrators.
"Some short time since, a brig was, by false lights, made a wreck of, on the Western coast of this kingdom, in the County of Mayo, and the crew, consisting of seven hands besides the master, having providentially escaped from the wreck, went to the house of a farmer, who, at first received and treated them with seeming hospitality, till at length, having saved several articles of the cargo, they bargained with him, and delivered the goods into his hands, taking his accountable receipts and securities for the payment; shortly after which, this conscientious host, who doubtless procured this disaster, formed a pretext for quarrelling with them, and, assisted by a desperate mob of his ruffianly neighborhood, he forcibly took from them all their papers, together with the receipts and securities, then turned them out of his house, and peremptorily refused to restore their property. The poor men having no alternative, were obliged to submit, thinking themselves very fortunate in compounding for their lives. They are now, however, after a long, tiresome and distressing journey, arrived in this city, to seek redress for the cruel and inhuman treatment they have received."
At a court of Oyer and Terminer, holden at Claverack, three men are convicted of horse-stealing, viz. Cornelius Vradenburgh, Philip Johnson, and John Davis, the latter a negro man. After a very pathetic address from the bench by his honor Judge Yates, they were severally sentenced to be executed, on the thirtieth day of May next, between the hours of ten and twelve in the afternoon. Vradenburgh and Johnson (although the latter was quite a youth) have, for a long time, carried on the business of
horse-stealing, and were, undoubtedly, too much hardened in iniquity ever to be reclaimed. We commiserate their unhappy fate; and, at the same time, cannot but wish to be rid of such villains, and pests to society.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Washington, Bartlett, in three days from Newbern, North-Carolina.
On the 4th inst. arrived off Newhaven, the brig New-Moon, from Aux-Cayes, in 20 days, bound to Rhode-Island, who put on board a skiff, off Fisher's Island, at evening, Mr. Michael Webb, late supercargo of the unfortunate ship Juno, Henry Elkins, from Salem, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, which sunk at sea, and the crew, 12 in number, were taken up by the sloop Wm. Patterson, from Sheepscut, bound to Martinico, where they arrived the 26th of January.
Capt. MacIntock, who arrived at Portsmouth, N. H. on the 7th inst. in the brig Kitty, from Demarara, informs that on the 5th, 50 leagues to the eastward of Cape Ann, he spoke the ship Sophia, Capt. Brice, from Boston for London;---also, the same day, spoke the ship Betsy, Capt. Savory, from Sheepscut, bound to Liverpool, all well.
Arrived at Boston. The Schooner Barrington, Nickerson, from Barrington; Schooner Betsy, Freeman, Liverpool; sloop Rosanna, Rofs, St. Martin's, and sloop Richard, Mather, from Hispaniola.
Arrived at Newhaven. Brig Charlotte, Welles, from Martinico; sloop Polly, Bishop, from St. Croix (via New-York); sloop Bachelor, Kimberly, and sloop William, French, from ditto.
From a late London paper.
Some weeks since a Clergyman near Kensington Gravel-pits, going into his garden early in the morning, found a young woman in one of the out houses. From a very short conversation, he discovered that her senses were much disordered; he had her conveyed into his house, and supplied her with refreshments. Her dress bespoke her to be above the common rank. She had on an elegant printed cotton gown, fine dimity coats, white silk stockings, black Spanish leather shoes, and remarkable fine linen, marked A. I. By her side she had hanging a new key of the Green-Park, on which was engraved the name of Captain:---she wore a very shabby little black bonnet, and a long black cloak. This was supposed to be the bonnet and cloak of her nurse, from whom it was thought she had escaped. As nothing in her possession could lead to a discovery of who she was, or from whence she came, the gentleman resolved to keep her till he had advertised her, or found she was enquired after. He soon discovered that her flight was announced in the Daily Advertiser; he sent to the appointed place, and a woman came in a coach to fetch her away, who said she was mother to the poor unhappy maniac. The interview between the mother and the reputed daughter was far more distressing than can be pictured; the poor creature denied her being her mother, and charged her with being a procuress. This at the time was thought to be the mere effusion of a frantic brain; but it is since discovered that the house to which she was conveyed is of infamous character. The Gentleman has hitherto in vain laboured to find out the friends of this poor young creature. Her address, her conversation, and her knowledge, all bespoke her education to have been far above that of the offspring of a mean personage.
MARRIED , on Sunday evening last, by the Rev. Mr. Linn, Mr. PETER WALKER, of Boston, to Miss DIANA BROWER, daughter of Mr. John Brower, merchant, of this city.
American Anecdote. ---As the facetious and satiric Col. D---r was one day viewing the paintings in Pratt's exhibition-room at New-York, he observed the portrait of the beautiful Miss Achmuty, under which were written some verses by her impassioned admirer Major Montcrief. The portrait was rather indifferently executed, and the poetry scarcely rose to mediocrity; upon which he took out his pencil, and wrote the following lines at the foot of the canvas.---
"To paint or praise thy charms how vain the hope, "Pratt is no Titian, nor Montcrief a Pope."
Anecdote. A gentleman having bargained with a New-England man for a quantity of boards, desired to know when they should be sent to him. Why, says the board-merchant, if I live and do well, you shall certainly have them to-morrow. The gentleman, very well satisfied, went off.---The next day passed away, and he was much surprised at receiving no boards. He accordingly called upon the seller, and desired to know why he had not performed his promise, by sending the boards. Why, friend, replies the cunning New-England man, I promised, that if I lived and did well, I would send you the boards. Now, it is very true that I have lived, but done well I have not, for I have parted with the boards to a man who has given me a greater price than you offered.
ESSAY on SNUFF-TAKING.
EVERY professed, inveterate and incurable snuff-taker, at a moderate computation, takes one pinch in ten minutes.
Every pinch, with the agreeable ceremony of blowing and wiping the nose, and other incidental circumstances, consumes one minute and a half.
One minute and a half out of every ten, allowing sixteen hours to a snuff taking day, amounts to two hours and twenty-four minutes out of every natural day, or one day out of every ten.
One day out of every ten amounts to thirty-six days and a half in a year.
Hence if we suppose the practice to be persisted in forty years, two entire years of the snuff-taker's life will be dedicated to tickling his nose, and two more to blowing it.
The expence of snuff, snuff-boxes and handkerchiefs will be the subject of a second essay, in which it will appear that this luxury encroaches as much on the income of the snuff-taker as it does on his time; and that by a proper application of the time and money thus lost to the public, a fund might be constituted for the discharge of the national debt.
INFORMATION
For the benefit of such vessels as may be destined for Newbury-Port, or otherwise fall into Ipswich-Bay.
TWO Light Houses have been lately erected on the North end of Plumb-Island, at the entrance of Merrimack River, which are kept constantly lighted from sunset to sunrise.
When any vessel shall fall into this Bay, or shall be forced in by stress of weather, and shall make these lights, she may safely run in, over Newbury-Bar, observing the proper time of tide, and taking care to keep the two lights in one, until she gets within twice her length of the shore; then directing her course by the beach, where is bold water, she may proceed until abreast of the Western Light House, where is good and safe anchorage in three fathoms of water.
A vessel passing near aboard the rocks of Cape-Ann, called the Savages, and steering N. W. about five leagues, will come up with the Bar, in about fourteen fathoms of water. There is good anchorage in twelve fathoms of water, about half a league short of the Bar.
The Light Houses now bear due East and West of each other, and are so constructed as to be moveable; and care will be taken in case the Bar shifts, to place them in such a situation, as that the foregoing directions will always be a good guide to strangers.
The Marine Society, and other gentlemen of Newbury-Port, in the course of the last summer, caused to be erected upon Plumb-Island, three small houses, for the reception of such unfortunate mariners as may be cast on shore there. They are situated near the beach, about three miles asunder, and have high poles erected on them. In each of them are deposited fire-works and proper fuel for speedily kindling a fire. It is hoped that no person will make a wanton use of these means of preservation, so humanely provided for the most distressed of our fellow men.
Strangers, who may be driven upon Plumb-Island, or the sandy beaches of Salisbury, or Hampton, are earnestly cautioned to continue on board their vessel, if possible, until the tide shall leave them, when they can safely proceed on shore, in search of the above-mentioned houses. The number of instances of fatal miscarriage, which have attended those who have too suddenly forsaken their vessel, which has afterwards been found safe and dry, and the almost constant safety of those who continued on board, are a serious confirmation of the propriety of this advice.
N. B. There are seven feet of water on the shoal part of the bar at low water, and at half tide better than eleven feet.
DIRECTIONS
For sailing in and out of Boston Bay, from Cape-Cod or Cape-Ann, to Boston Light-House.
THE Light stands on a small island, at the N. entrance of the channel, about 65 feet high. To steer for it from Cape-Cod, your course is W. N. W. when within one league of the Cape.

MONTMORIN.
THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settlement formerly called Logstown, which was abandoned previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and abundant in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the water is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communication or route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settlements; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, being all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Washington, Hancock and Clinton-Streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in trustees for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the delivery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenburgh and H. Hatter, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputable titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appropriation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Thomas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadelphia; Mr. John Delafeld, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, to Colonel Bouquet's Expedition, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the English and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge; on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the upper town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Proceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esqrs., or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. 1u. April 5.

THE FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK. A Number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Govern- ment, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention. JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW. As Members of the Senate. ISAAC ROOSEVELT, EZRA L'HOMMEDIEU, PAUL MICHEAU. As Members of the Assembly. COMFORT SANDS, WILLIAM W. GILBERT, ALEXANDER M'COMB, NICHOLAS HOFFMAN, BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON, GULIAN VERPLANCK, NICHOLAS LOW, RICHARD HARRISON, JOHN WATTS, Jun.
In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That "which appears to be the greatest inte- "rest of every true American, - the conso- "lidation of our Union, in which is in- "volved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, "perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and county, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now sub- mitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the pur- pose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our MOTTO. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.
By Order of the Meeting, THOMAS RANDALL, Chairman. New-York, April 8, 1788.

To the PUBLIC. A Certain universal pill for the cure of the follow- ing disorders, and many more, as the Ague, quotidian, tertian and quartan fevers, with a little assistance of fever powders; for the bloody flux, yel- low or black jaundice, rheumatism, &c. as I have heretofore many evidences in King's and Queen's Coun- ty, and some in the city of New-York. These pills I call universal, because they may be taken for all complaints in which emetics and pur- ges are commonly used; being the mildest in their operation of any medicine hitherto prescribed for the above disorders, and you shall find for many more. But in every case the patient's strength ought to be considered, with respect to the number of pills pro- per to be taken. The exact use of these pills is, that from every year from infancy to five and twenty years, are reckoned to give one grain for every year, that is 25 grains; but to them who have more strength 30 grains. It is not necessary to take any water or watergruel while vomiting, which in most instances precedes the purging.
No. 1. If the ague be on every first, third or fourth day, one dose, or at most two, will take it away, if ever so long standing; but in a quartan ague, these pills must have a little assistance from certain fever powders on the good days; but what these pills can effect in bilious and other hot fevers, I leave for phy- sicians to judge.  No. 2. In the bloody flux, one or two doses will be sufficient to restore the patient to a good state of health.  No. 3. In the yellow or black jaundice, and in rheumatism most, these pills should be taken often; and, provided the strength of the patient will admit of it, the doses ought to be repeated in a short time after one another. In short, these pills surpass all other medicine given in former times, for eradicat- ing the above mentioned disorders. The dose may be taken three hours after a slight supper, when the patient will rest well till near morning, when the operation commonly begins, which is mild and ea- sy; but if it should be more convenient to take them in the morning early, a fast of five hours from eating or drinking must be observed, because by that time the operation will be over.
As it has then pleased the Almighty God to give me the wisdom to find out such universal pills (which I don't know was ever before found out in the world) so I may take the liberty to reveal that I have some other medicine, which are of equal value in many disorders of man and woman; and therefore I say, that I have a Golden Mother Tincture which gives, in all hysterics fits, immediate relief; and if any el- derly woman (that get no children more) is afflicted with this disorder, that I not only can give her relief, but if she will follow my counsel, that she shall have a such relief, that she this disorder shall never have again, and in the disorder of the Catamen- ia of a woman, either in stopping or superfluity of the same, I shall help here in a very short time with God's blessing.
Besides this, I say, that if miserable persons in any sickness here find no relief from physicians, in hypo- chondriac passion, inveterate obstinate rheumatism, and in the West-Indian yellow fever, as also in tum- ors or impotthumes or ulcers inwardly of the body, in dropsies, in gravel or stone, in consumption, in e- pilepsy and epilepsy uterina, in the piles, and other complaints, as cancers, &c. and will take my counsel, they will know what hopes they can have by using medicine. I do not pretend to cure every disor- der; but to those who are not incurable, I make no doubt of administering relief.
I do not call myself a physician, and I want not to be called a doctor; but as I have a little skill in chym- istry, and have studied many European physicians, in four different languages, to no small advantage in my practice of physic, I shall assert that I have learnt something for my own benefit and for the good of mankind, as I many times have had proofs of; so I call myself a Chymicus.  The condition with those who want my counsel or assistance is, that I take not much money for my service, because I want no more than a small living, as I had before here in King's County, but which I am deprived of, by means of a wicked and shame- less man in New-York in an unjust manner, as may be seen by my publication in Dutch and English.
When any helpless person will believe me, and seek for my assistance, I don't doubt, if it is possible, to relieve their distress, and I shall thereby make a small living for myself; whereunto God will give us his blessing. JOHN CASP. RUBEL, Minister of the Gospel, & Chymicus. Flatbush, King's County, Long-Island, 27th March, 1788.
N.B. If any gentleman chuses to agree with me, on the terms, no relief or cure no payment, he is wel- come. P.S. If any lady or gentleman, who want any as- sistance, will be so kind as to acquaint me in writing of the nature of their complaint, I shall attend on the first opportunity.
