PROVIDENCE, April 10
The Honorable General Assembly of this State, at their late session, directed a letter to be sent to Congress, stating the measures taken by our Legislature on the subject of the proposed Federal Constitution. The substance of which was, That on receiving the report of the Convention of Philadelphia, at last October session, they ordered one thousand copies thereof to be printed and dispersed among the people at large, which was done. That at last February session, a day was affixed for every Freeholder, in open Town-Meeting, to vote on the subject, agreeable to the Act submitting the Constitution to the people (which was ordered to be enclosed). That by the returns received at the present session it appeared, that rather more than 2700 had voted against the Constitution, and about 200 for it. That the Legislature of this State was deeply impressed with a sense of the necessity of further powers being vested in Congress, the entire regulation of trade, with power to levy and collect an Impost would be agreed to, &c. &c.
In order that Congress might have the fullest information on this important subject, it was moved in the Lower House, that the petition from Providence, and the instructions from the town of Newport, Westerly, &c. might be enclosed in the aforesaid Letter—but this was negatived by a large majority.
* At the last General Election 4170 Votes were given in, by which it will appear, that upwards of 1200 Freeholders in this State have not voted on the subject of the proposed national Constitution.
On the 9th day of April inst. Mr. Elias Palmer, of Colchester, in Connecticut, found in one hole in the ground on his farm, sixty-seven black Snakes, three, four and five feet long, which he killed, except one which ran away from him: he supposes it to have been their winter quarters.

Extract of a letter from Hartford, April 7.
"The industry and economy, apparent in most parts of the State, afford the most agreeable prospect of private happiness and public prosperity. Providence has blest us the year past with a fine crop of flax; the virtuous fair do not suffer it to lie neglected; but improve it in useful domestic manufactures. The spinning wheel, a machine of the utmost consequence to our real prosperity, has not stood motionless, but has been graced with the hands of the first ladies in town. Domestic industry being added to our other sources of wealth, we must be prosperous and happy."
At a respectable meeting of the Anti's, at Smith Town in Suffolk County, on the 14th inst. a very venerable speaker addressed the Chairman, in the following clear and perspicuous manner. "Mr. Chairman—hem! —Mr. Chairman—hem! —Mr. Chairman—hem! —I profess I had an idea, but it is gone from me."

FRONTIERS of TURKEY, Dec. 28.
The Russian troops are in motion; 500 baggage waggons and 1800 horses, which were at Gryzmallow are employed to convey away their baggage. And we are assured, that the greatest part of the army under Marshal Romanzow is going into the Brekowine, from whence they will be led into Moldavia.
VIENNA, Feb 16.
A blow has been already struck. No sooner was the declaration of war made known in the army, on the 9th of February, than General Devins, commandant of the troops in Croatia, commenced his operations by the attack on the fortress of Dreznick.
The execution of this enterprise was confided to Col. Poharnik, of the regiment of Carabineers. He first summoned the Turks to surrender, with an assurance, that if they gave up without resistance, they should meet with the protection of his Imperial Majesty. To this summons, their only answer was, the discharge of their artillery. The Col. made a similar reply from the mouths of his cannon, with such effect, that the whole place was soon in a blaze, and the garrison almost entirely destroyed.
In another quarter, the Imperial troops have not experienced the same success. Lieut. Col. Kefnovick passed the Unna, to attack the Turkish castle of Dubiza. In this project he failed, and met with the loss of a few men.
L O N D O N,
March 1. An official notice was delivered on Sunday the 10th instant, at 3 P. M. by Prince Kaunitz to all the foreign Ministers at Vienna, that the Emperor had found himself obliged to declare war against the Turks; and that he hoped, in a cause so good, that the vows and wishes of all Europe would accompany him in his endeavors against the enemies of christianity.
Couriers were dispatched to Versailles and Petersburg: and, on the 27th last month, orders were sent to Baron Herbert, at Constantinople, to declare war. It is therefore highly probable, that that Intercambio is lodged with the Russian Minister in the Seven Towers.
The French are so far from relinquishing the works at Cherburgh, that in the course of the last six weeks 1600 hands have been added.
March 3. There are already upwards of twenty thousand Croats on the Ottoman territories.
The Russians were preparing to lay siege to Oczakow when the last letters came away.
Some reports say, that the Austrian army has blockaded Belgrade, and are preparing for a furious bombardment, with forty large mortars, which are ready at Semlin.
Between forty and fifty sail of transports are now taking up for the Russian service. These are to go to Petersburg with all possible dispatch, and sail back with the fleet of men of war to this country, in their way to the Mediterranean.
March 5. An evening paper of last night asserts, that since the declaration of war by the Emperor against the Turks, the French Court have sent a notification to this Government, that, by a subsisting treaty between them and the Turks, they are obliged to assist them with six sail of the line.
To the Printer of the Daily Advertiser.
SIR,
[Continued from Monday's Paper.]
HE pursues the subject, "the difficulty in acquiring it is not so considerable as has been represented; but though it were greater, to draw an objection from that circumstance, proves the objectors to be entirely ignorant of the first principle of academic education, which is to inure students to a habit of application: whatever has a tendency to promote this great object, is not unworthy the attention of any." What an extraordinary degree of impertinence reigns throughout the whole of this paragraph! But let us turn our attention to what the author supposes to be the substantial part thereof. He contends that though the difficulty of acquiring the Greek language were extremely great, yet it would be wrong to draw an objection from that quarter. Little penetration is requisite to discover the fallacy of this argument. I would be among the first to agree with Philalethes on this point, if the possession of the object were indispensably necessary to the advancement of science; and if we could not arrive to a great height in literature without the previous measure of making ourselves masters of that object: no one, I presume, will pretend to say this is the case; for "experience, that unerring teacher," would certainly contradict him. The inuring of students to a habit of application is certainly proper, and ought always to be done, with this proviso, however, that the end to which their labors tend should be the best. The attainment of the knowledge of the language in question, is on all hands allowed to require some years: now it must be evident to every unprejudiced mind, that this time might be more advantageously employed in the study of things infinitely more necessary and important, than the comparatively trifling acquisition of mere words, the one thousandth part of which, after being once obtained, are perhaps never made use of, or called into action. When we see the current of application directed towards what is almost universally allowed to be a wrong purpose, are we not then to endeavor to stop its progress, and to divert it into a different and more profitable channel? And if we do so, is then this conduct to be challenged by empty scribblers as an impeachment of industry, and a defence of indolence? I
would wish to know who gave Philalethes leave to hold any of my expressions to view in a partial light? By what authority has he done this? I coolly advise him to reserve his forced constructions until another, and more convenient opportunity of imposing them on the world, shall offer itself. If memory were the chief agent in obtaining it (the Greek); "it would even then (as Philalethes says) be an object of importance; for the improvement of the memory, as well as of the rest of the mental powers, is attended with signal advantages." This, like all his other propositions, is vague, indefinite, and inapplicable to the present case. Can this shallow author, possibly suppose any person so uncommonly stupid, as to deny the improvement of the memory to be useful? At the same time, can he think it ought not to be stored with things the most useful? And can he also be so remarkably ignorant, or so detestably obstinate, as to deny the improvement of other of our faculties to be of much more consequence? If he should once become so hardened in his odious undertaking, as to affirm that the exercise of the memory is of greater moment than that of the judgment; I am induced to believe little persuasion would be necessary to cause us all with one voice, to pronounce him either a magman, or the "temporary creature of designing men." If the former, he might spit his venom on whomsoever he should think proper; if the latter, he would, no doubt, be spurned and hooted at, by every man of discernment, and thus receive the reward due to his demerits; and which would bring him for ignominious companions, eternal infamy and disgrace. The author, in speaking of my production, says, "alluding, if I mistake not, to this examination of (Columbia College) he observes, &c." Here he inserts an extract from my first publication, which may be seen, by advertising to his piece in the Daily Advertiser of the 14th inst. In the quotation, the great author has thought proper materially to affect not only the words, but also the sense of the passage, by making the addition of the article the before the word students. This additional and significant word, by shewing that some particular class of students were hinted at, together with some other conspiring circumstances, might perhaps raise a presumption that I particularized those of the University of New-York. But whence has this daring author derived this authority of modifying my words and expressions, in such a manner as best to answer his insolent purposes? What can he say in vindication of such unparalleled behavior? What plea can he offer in favor of such a transgression? Is it not surprising that so much arrogance should centre in one person? I wonder whether he would be satisfied with a declaration from me, that I did not in my performance allude, either to the students, or any of the other Members of Columbia College? But let us even make the idle supposition that I did; and then let us enquire whether my observation leads to the source which the officious author has pointed out to us. The term pedantry, properly signifies a ridiculous or ostentatious display of unnecessary learning; the addition of the epithet dogmatic, makes very little or no alteration in the true sense of the words; it only serves to heighten, as it were, the degree of pedantry, by prefixing to it the idea of positive or opinionative. The words dogmatic pedantry, then properly imply, a ridiculous, or ostentatious display of unnecessary learning, made in a positive and opinionative form. These things I thought proper to premise for perspicuity's sake. Now it must appear evident, that such a display could not have been made by the regents of the College in decreeing this or that branch of education to be taught: this remains to be done in the method after which it is taught, and in which it is demanded from students. Dogmatic pedantry only takes place in the manner, not the matter. I repeat it again, there could have been no pedantry in determining that this or that study should be required from pupils; it could have existed only in the act of exaction, by the teachers: so that here, all the strong arguments of my adversary, to prove that I indirectly termed the regents a "club of pedants," fall to the ground. This seems to have been a favorite point with him; and I shall be but little amazed if, notwithstanding every body else's being satisfied with the defeat, he attempts something desperate before he yields to conviction. In any such attempt, however, I beg he will not suffer himself to be hurried into too great a frenzy, and thus lay violent hands upon his own great, good sense.

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.

This day is published, By S. and R. CAMPBELL, No. 44, Hanover-square, and T. ALLEN, No. 16, Queen-street,  The American Songster: Being a select Collection of the most celebrated Ame- rican, English, Scotch and Irish Songs. "Music has charms to sooth a savage breast," "To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak." Price, neatly bound and lettered, Five Shillings. Virg.
To the Lovers of Music in the United States of America. Ladies and Gentlemen, IT has been a subject of considerable regret, that a Collection of the best Modern Songs, not only the production of America, but likewise those of Bri- tain has never before appeared on this continent. To remedy which, the Editors have been at con- siderable labor in collecting from the most esteemed Song Books, published in Europe, a compilation, suitable in some degree to this country. To this collection the Fair Americans may safely have recourse, without the fear of a blush upon their cheeks, or offending the most rigid virtue; nor can the gentlemen be more pleased by the particular at- tention shown to the ladies than by the compliment we pay to their good sense, in avoiding all manner of indecent songs and double entendres. Here will be found a number of original songs, the production of the American Muse: we are only sorry it has not been in our power to collect a great- er number of these at the present time.—But provi- ding the present volume meets with encouragement from the Public, the Editors have it in contempla- tion to publish a second, when they flatter themselves they will be able to exhibit most of the principal songs wrote in the United States. However, it in this collection we have put a cheerful and enter- taining companion into the hands of the ladies and gentlemen of America, we trust, on their part, they will encourage the rising arts of their native country, which will particularly oblige their very humble ser- vants, THE PUBLISHERS.
PUBLIC notice is hereby given, according to an act of the Governor, Council and General As- sembly of the late colony of New-York, passed the nineteenth day of March, 1774, entitled, "An act for the more effectual registering of mortgages, and securing the purchasers of mortgaged estates;" that on the 12th day of May next, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, will be sold at the Coffee-House, in the city of New-York, to the highest bidder, all that certain Lot, or piece of GROUND, situate, lying and being in the South-ward of the city of New- York, and fronting the street formerly called Bridge- street, and being bounded on the westerly side by the ground now or late of Isaac Depewster, and on the easterly side by the ground now or late of the heirs of Francis Sylvester, deceased, and in the rear by the lot of ground now or late belonging to Thomas and Elizabeth Hunt; the said Lot containing in breadth in front and rear, 24 feet 9 inches, and in length on both sides, 61 feet 6 inches, with the ap- purtenances; which said premises were by inden- ture, bearing date the 23th day of March, 1768, mortgaged by Jane Durham, of the city of New- York, widow, to John Leake, for securing the pay- ment of three hundred and twenty-one pounds, with lawful interest for the same.

To be SOLD, AN excellent FARM, lying at that noted place called Kinderhook Mills, a mile and a half from town, and six miles from the Landing; con- taining 150 acres of choice land, part thereof is intervalle and extraordinary fine meadow, where there is yearly cut thirty ton of good hay, with a beautiful young and old orchard of about 200 trees, part thereof grafted, and the whole excellent fruit. A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor, one story and a half high, a fine cellar, a large store ready fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn a fine stand for trade or any public business, there having afore been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several districts and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated where three roads meet, and is the best stand of trade, I dare say, of any in the country, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door. Also, the convenience of a GRIST MILL, with a fine stream of water, and the half of a new Dutch SAW MILL, adjoining the door, where 3000 logs can be sawed in a season, and plenty of timber.

Any person chusing to purchase either of the above places, on paying one quarter of the money down, may almost have their own time of payment for the remainder, or goods will be taken at cash price, and a good title will be given for either, or both places. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, living at Kinderhook, or to GEORGE and WILLIAM LUDLOW, New- York. CORNELIUS SEBRING. Jan. 28. tf. 2aw. tf.
