Vienna, Feb. 9. It was yesterday reported, that the Croats had seized all the avenues of Bosnia, on the borders of the Sawa and the Unna. But this important news wants further confirmation.
The Court has sent an order to form a corps of 28,000 Croats out of the provincial militia of that nation, who have not yet served.
Buda, Feb. 26. The main army is to be augmented with 24 battalions of infantry, and two regiments of cavalry; when the above troops have joined the army, it will consist of near 200,000 men.
Frankfort, Feb. 6. We learn that the Emperor of Germany and the Grand Duke of Russia will have an interview at Lemberg, where preparations are making for their reception.
Hamburg, Feb. 15. A number of emigrants from the United Provinces, who had taken refuge here, were, on the 7th instant, by a declaration of the Regency, ordered to quit this city and territory in 48 hours; most of them have retired to Altona. We shall know in time if they will be permitted to remain there. It is generally thought, that his Danish Majesty will likewise make them decamp, as they will soon be themselves dangerous and turbulent inhabitants. The most sensible advice that can be given them, is to go to England, and solicit a passage to Botany Bay.
We learn, that there are likewise a number of fugitives at Bremen; but it is tho't they will not stay long there, or in any place in Germany, as all that country is in general partial to the House of Orange.
NEW-YORK, May 3.
Yesterday arrived the ship Commerce, Turner, in fifty-one days from Liverpool. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated April 30.
"The Maryland folks have ratified the Constitution: Yeas 63, Nays 11. Exclusive of the letters, I have seen, I have also seen a gentleman from Baltimore, who tells me that Mr. Chase was the principal speaker, having spoken on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, on which day he and his friends agreed to give out. They were told by the Federalists at the beginning, that they had come with their minds fully made up; and that no reply would be made to any thing that might be said on the other side. When the Governor found how matters went, he declared he thought it improper (in himself particularly) to continue in opposition to so respectable a majority as seemed to appear. Luther says he shall be happy to have his name handed down to posterity as being the opposer of a measure which he thinks calculated to destroy the liberties of the people; but, since it is adopted, he will submit to it as a subject. On Saturday a committee was appointed to report some amendments to be recommended. Our bells rung last evening and this morning."
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, April 28. "Referring you to my letter of 23d inst. [an extract of which appeared in our paper of Wednesday] I advise you now, with great joy, that our State has adopted the new Constitution by a great majority. Tomorrow we will have a grand procession on this happy event; after which we are, to dine at a table of 1500 feet long; and on this occasion we will be witnesses to the unanimity and joy visible in every countenance."
"There is no longer a doubt but Virginia will adopt it by a considerable majority."
Flat-Bush, April 26, 1788.
The Quarterly Examination was held at Erasmus Hall, on Thursday, the 10th inst. when the students acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of a number of gentlemen, who attended from New-York.
The Regents of the University, who were present, joined with the Principal and Trustees of the Hall, in adjudging the premiums as follows, viz.
In the highest Latin Class , to Peter Cruger and Malachi Treat, both from New-York.
In the second Latin Class , to William Lambert, from the West-Indies.
In the first English Class , to Andrew Bartow, from Westchester.
In English Grammar , to James Proffitt, from New Orleans.
In Elocution , to Clement Sewell, from New-York, and Morgan Lewis, from Queen's County, Long Island.
The progress of Michael De Allenville, a young gentleman from France, who has learned in a few months, to read English with considerable propriety, and had made great proficiency in the English grammar, was also highly applauded.
The spring vacation ended on Thursday last, and the public is now informed, that the Classical and English departments are both well supplied with respectable
and able teachers. Mr. James Tod, is engaged in the first , and teaches the Latin and Greek languages, together with geography, for which, he is supplied by the Trustees, with an elegant set of globes, just imported from London. Mr. Joseph Turner, has the charge of the other department, and teaches reading, English, writing, arithmetic and book-keeping; particular attention is also paid by both the teachers, to English grammar and elocution.
The Trustees are persuaded, from the character and abilities of the teachers, that the public may rely upon having great attention paid to the morals as well as the education of the youth under their care.
Parents can obtain convenient places for their children, in many decent families, who are willing to take boarders, at the low price of twenty pounds per annum; and Mr. Tod, who lives with his family in the Hall, has some young gentlemen now boarding with him, and has excellent accommodations for a few more.
For the Daily Advertiser.
JUSTICE and the public good require that the following paragraph, from a paper printed by Mr. Greenleaf, on Tuesday last, should be re-printed, and contradicted:
"We have authority to inform the public, that his Britannic Majesty has appointed THOMAS WOOLDRIDGE, Esq. late Receiver General of East-Florida, &c. to be his Vice-Consul for the States of Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island, Providence Plantations, and Connecticut. The patriotic conduct of this gentleman relative to America, during the war, is well known to the friends of liberty."
To the honest and upright it must appear surprizing, that of the papers containing the foregoing paragraph, only 20 or 30 have been printed; and, that every one of them were left solely at the disposal of Mr. Woolridge.
When this transaction was detected, the public indignation was very justly excited, and the Printer equally condemned, with the would-be Consul: But although this was a subject of general conversation, no measures were taken by Mr. Greenleaf to exculpate himself, from Tuesday to Thursday; and this morning he has made himself still more criminal by the following wretched and equivocating attempt:
To the PUBLIC.
FOR the vindication of the conduct of the Editor of this paper, and for the satisfaction of a respectable public, the following particulars are inserted respecting the paragraph (purporting that Thomas Woolridge, Esq. had lately been appointed Consul to the New-England States by his Britannic Majesty) which was printed in a few of yesterday's Register.
At seven o'clock yesterday morning, a gentleman called at the office, and requested that I would insert the paragraph (referred to) in that day's paper; to which it was replied, that the papers were all printed off but about twenty. He said twenty would do, if I would likewise insert it the next day; and urged much that it be printed. The Editor, supposing he wanted only to gratify a little vanity, finally granted his request, and gave him the papers at the usual price, without entertaining the least idea that he had any particular plan in view. The paragraph was to have been inserted the next day, but through a multiplicity of business, it was forgotten. This gentleman affirmed that the paragraph was taken from a London paper, which assertion was the Editor's authenticity, not knowing but he was a man of veracity.
Justice requires of the Editor, considering the nature of the paragraph, to mention that Mr. WOOLDRIDGE himself was the person who gave it—the veracity of whom he never had any reason to doubt, unless he judged from popular report—which in this instance he ought doubtless to have done.
The Editor has this day made enquiries respecting the probability of the fact—searched the late British papers, by the packet this day arrived, and can find no mention of it, nor in private letters received; he has therefore reason to believe it an unfounded representation. What might be the design, or whether any, the public will please to judge. Lest there should be a design, and some evil result in consequence of the paragraph, the printer or printers in this or other states, or elsewhere, who may have inserted it, are requested likewise to insert this as speedily as possible. THOMAS GREENLEAF. May 1, 1788.
Upon this I shall remark, that the Apology is dated May the first; he says "a few of yesterday's papers ": the paragraph was in a paper of the 29th, which was the day before.
He says a "Gentlemen called at 7 o'clock yesterday morning," though several persons saw the papers in Woolridge's room the afternoon before that.
Now I will ask a few questions: How
came he (Greenleaf) on Wednesday to tell a Gentleman, who asked for his authority, that he had taken the paragraph from a Boston paper, and on this being doubted, to equivocate, and then say it was given him by a Gentleman; and since that, to make a quibbling confession that his authority was Woolridge himself. Conscience is a powerful monitor, and tho' a man may evade and deceive for a while, truth will appear at last.
Why does he say, all his papers were "printed off but about twenty", when it is known that they were all printed off before the paragraph was brought to him, and that the papers sent to Woolridge were a separate edition.
Is it probable that a Printer would be so obliging as to alter his types (which must be attended with a good deal of trouble) after "the papers were all printed off but about twenty," merely to "gratify a little vanity" in a man whose "veracity popular report" had impeached? Is it probable that if he should take this trouble, he would give the man "the papers at the usual price"? Is it possible that a Printer could be desired to make such alterations as Mr. Woolridge requested, "without entertaining the least idea that he had any particular plan in view"? Is it credible that such an extraordinary request, and the trouble it occasioned, should make so slight an impression on Mr. Greenleaf's memory, as that he could forget to "insert the paragraph the next day," which he says was intended? Is not "multiplicity of business" a curious reason to assign for forgetting that business? How can Greenleaf say he did not know but Mr. Woolridge "was a man of veracity," when he acknowledges in the next sentence, that he had reason to doubt it, "if he judged from popular report, which, in this instance, he ought doubtless to have done"? If an "assertion" made by a man whose veracity ought to be doubted, is "the Editor's authenticity," what must the public think of the "Editor" and his "authenticity"? The Attorney-general, on a recent and similar occasion, has declared it as his opinion, that "the Printer who would be guilty of such an act of fraud and deception, should never again meet the confidence of the public."
Friday, May 2.
A CITIZEN.
To THOMAS GREENLEAF. "TELL the truth, and shame the Devil;" I remember was said to me, once, when I had done something wrong, which I hesitated to acknowledge, when I was accused of it, as you know children sometimes will do. I was a child then; but I have often thought of that advice since, and seen many cases, in which it has been useful: Indeed, to be plain with you, I could not help thinking of it, when I read your address to the public this morning, about the paragraph relating to Mr. Woolridge's appointment. It looks confoundedly like " running across the truth ;" for who would ever suppose, that the printer of a daily paper, who must always be in a hurry, especially when he publishes so much new matter as you do, I say, who could ever suppose, that a man in such a hurry, would stay to alter his newspaper, just at the moment of publication, to "gratify the vanity" of any man living; and that, when there was only twenty papers of that day's edition unprinted? No doubt you are as civil, and as complainant, and all that, as any other printer; but nobody will believe that any one of the fraternity would be as civil and as complainant as all this. Besides, some folks say they saw the papers (yours) in Mr. Woolridge's room, the afternoon before you say, he called at your office and requested you to insert the paragraph. As popular report has not called their veracity in question, people believe what they say about it, and of course doubt what you say.
Somebody has circulated a report too, that you said at first, that you got the paragraph out of a Boston newspaper, and afterwards, that Mr. Woolridge gave it to you, and from this, they argue, that you knew he had some particular plan in view, though you deny it to-day. But I don't mind what they say; I only mind what you say; and you say, in one sentence, that you did not know, but the gentleman was a man of veracity; and in the next, that popular report said he was not.
