SOLUTION of M. C. P.'s RIDDLE. SAYS Sally to Jane, "Have you seen the new Riddle This morning in Childs, by Master Charles Piddle?" "Yes, Sally, I have, and will answer it pat; 'Tis no more nor less than the straw of my hat." 6th March. W. T. Y.

Extract from the SPEECH of His Excellency Governor HANCOCK, to both Branches of the Legislature of Massachusetts, convened at Boston, on the 27th of February, ult.
"Since the last Session, Luke Day, one of those persons for whose arrest a bounty was offered in consequence of an act of the Legislature, has been taken by some of the citizens of New-Hampshire, to whom one hundred pounds has been paid, upon their delivering him into the custody of the Sheriff of the county of Suffolk. Could the late unhappy commotions be thrown into oblivion, consistently with the honor of Government, and the safety of the people, I persuade myself it would give satisfaction."
"In the beginning of your last Session, I laid before you the Constitution and Frame of Government for the United States of America agreed upon by the late general Convention, and transmitted to me by Congress. As the system was to be submitted to the people, and to be decided upon by their delegates in Convention, I forbore to make any remarks upon it. The Convention which you pointed to deliberate upon that important subject, have concluded their Session, after having adopted and ratified the proposed plan, according to their resolution, a copy whereof I have directed the Secretary to lay before you."
"The obvious imbecility of the Confederation of the United States, has too long given pain to our friends, and pleasure to our enemies; but the forming a new system of Government, for so numerous a people, of very different views and habits, spread upon such a vast extent of territory, containing such a great variety of soils, and under such extremes of climate, was a task, which nothing less than the dreadful apprehension of losing our national existence, could have compelled the people to undertake."
"We can be known to the world, only under the appellation of the United States; if we are robbed of the idea of our Union, we immediately become separate nations, independent of each other, and no less liable to the depredations of foreign powers, than to wars, and bloody contentions amongst ourselves. To pretend to exist as a nation, without possessing those powers of coercion, which are necessarily incident to the national character, would prove a fatal solecism in politics. The objects of the proposed Constitution, are defence against external enemies, and the promotion of tranquillity and happiness amongst the States. Whether it is well calculated for those important purposes, has been the subject of extensive and learned discussion in the Convention which you appointed. I believe there was never a body of men assembled with greater purity of intention, or with higher zeal for the public interest. And although when the momentous Question was decided, there was a greater division than some expected, yet there appeared a candor, and a spirit of conciliation, in the minority, which did them great honor, and afforded an happy presage of unanimity amongst the people at large. Tho' so many of the Members of the late Convention, could not feel themselves convinced, that they ought to vote for the ratification of this system, yet their opposition was conducted with a candid and manly firmness, and with such marks of integrity, and real regard to the public interest, as did them the highest honor, and leaves no reason to suppose, that the peace, and good order of the Government is not their object."
The amendments proposed by the Convention, are intended to obtain a constitutional security of the principles to which they refer themselves, and must meet the wishes of all the States. I feel myself assured, that they will very early become a part of the Constitution, and when they shall be added to the proposed plan, I shall consider it the most perfect system of Government, as to the objects it embraces, that has been known amongst mankind."
The petition, of which the following is a copy, was presented to the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, on Saturday, the 22d ult.
To the General Assembly of Pennsylvania. The ADDRESS and PETITION of the Religious Society called QUAKERS.
Respectfully Sheweth, That INCITED by an apprehension of real duty, and encouraged by the laudable essay which has been made by the Legislature of this State for the promotion of personal freedom, we take the liberty of addressing you on this very interesting and important subject.
The natural rights and civil liberties of men have been so fully investigated and declared, and at this time are so generally acknowledged to be unalienable, we conceive it unnecessary to attempt to illustrate the blessing of the enjoyment thereof, or the grievous oppression and distress to which they are subjected who continue to be deprived of that valuable privilege.
The law entitled, "An act for the gradual abolition of slavery," passed in the year 1780, has answered some of the desirable purposes for which it was enacted, and we trust, that an impression of the same affecting considerations which produced that law, will be sufficient weight to induce you to render it more extensive and effectual. Having been informed, and we believe it to be a sorrowful truth, that some commercial persons, inattentive to the feelings of humanity, and regardless of the principles of justice, have, in opposition to the spirit and intention of that law, equipt ships in the port of Philadelphia for the iniquitous traffic to Africa for slaves; and others actuated by the like avaricious motives have used means of violence and craft to captivate divers of the poor blacks, who were legally entitled to freedom, and transported them from hence to the West-India islands and other parts; where they have been sold into unconditional slavery. "The condition of others of these oppressed people has been attended with circumstances which not only deprived them of the common blessings that they were by nature entitled to, but has cast them into the deepest afflictions by an unnatural separation and sale of husband and wife from each other, and from their children;" which barbarities have been committed by men assuming the Christian name, to the great reproach of that dignified character.
We therefore earnestly request you will be pleased to take these affliction cases into mature consideration, and provide a remedy for their discontinuance, by such supplementary amendments and additions to the act before mentioned, as shall be most effectual to restrain the hands of tyranny and oppression, that you may be the happy instruments to deliver the poor that cry, and the fatherless, and him that hath none to help, so that the blessing promised to the merciful may rest upon you.
Signed on behalf and by direction of a meeting of the Representatives of our Religious Society, held in Philadelphia, the 17th day of the first month, 1788.
JOHN DRINKER, Clerk.
From an English paper we have taken the following paragraphs, dated
VIENNA, October 13.
"It is at present reported that the Russians have surprised the fortress of Oczakow, and made themselves masters of it, after losing 800 men."
"The Turks are within six miles of Bukowina. In the Ukraine they have taken a transport of 200 waggons of salt, carried off the young drivers, and killed the rest."
"We hear from Constantinople, that the 24th of September was a joyful day to the Porte and the inhabitants of that place. In the morning, they saw at the entrance of the canal, a ship of the line with Russian colors, which the Turks easily took, it being entirely dismasted, and all the crew, consisting of 800 men, were made prisoners of war. The Russians immediately underwent a sort of interrogation, in which they related their misfortune which had happened to them. It seems this vessel, which they say is the Admiral's ship, of 80 guns, made part of the squadron which sailed from the Crimea to cruise in the Black Sea, and attack the Ottoman fleet. In the night of the 23d inst. the Russian squadron met with a terrible tempest, which dispersed them towards the Asiatic coast, and destroyed a ship of 50 guns, and most of the crew were drowned. The Admiral's ship was obliged to give itself up to the mercy of the waves, which had drove it as far as the canal, notwithstanding all the efforts of the crew to escape that danger; it had already passed under the guns of some forts and batteries, when the Captain, at break of day, perceived the bad situation he was in; seeing it was impossible to escape with the ship by turning back, he resolved to set fire to it, and blow himself up with his people; this however, the crew opposed by force, resolving rather to submit to the Turks, who were running in crowds to seize the ship. By good luck a little before the tempest, the Russian Admiral left his ship and went on board a frigate, that he might the better discover the enemy, so that he was not
amongst the prisoners, who, they say, were treated with great humanity."
"This misfortune is a fresh proof, that as long as the Russians have no port on the Asiatic coast, their navigation on the Black Sea will be of no use to them. As for the rest, this piece of good fortune has consoled the Turks for the mischief done likewise by a tempest to the Ottoman fleet from Oczakow, of which four gallies and two ships of the line have been so much damaged that they could not proceed. Notwithstanding the joy the Ottoman Minister has shown for the misfortune which had happened to the Russian squadron, he has testified no less inquietude for the fate of his own fleet, which failed some days before for the Red Sea."
Anecdote of Dr. Johnson and David Garrick. Many years since, when Mr. Garrick lived in Southampton-street, Covent Garden, he invited a number of friends, and, among the rest, Dr. Johnson, to spend the evening with him. The Doctor, being a very absent man, forgot the appointment till one o'clock in the morning: he then took leave of his company, and sallied in great haste to Southampton-street, where he knocked loudly at the door; Garrick looked out of the dining-room window, and asked who knocked? " 'Tis Johnson, (replied the Doctor) pray, open" "Dear Sir, (said Garrick) the company is all gone, and we are just going to bed." "Let me in, David, and I'll flatter you more than all your guests have done." "Nay, but, Sir, Mrs. Garrick" "Don't tell me of Mrs. Garrick, she won't be angry to hear me flatter you." In short, the Doctor was let in, and kept them up till five in the morning. But whether he observed his promise, and flattered Garrick, is a point not to be determined.
