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 will 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.

The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raraway, 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 14 wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.

MISCELLANY.
At a time when a Turkish war so much engages the attention of the nations of Europe; and when the people of this, as well as other countries, are listening with anxiety to hear its event, a concise relation of what appears most remarkable in the history that exhibits the rise of the Ottoman race to empire among the Turks, and to so very extensive dominions as they now possess, extracted from a British publication, may not, perhaps, be unacceptable to our readers.
EVERY one who has been the least versant in history, will know, that Arabia, Persia, Syria, Egypt, and different other provinces of the East, have, for more than a thousand years, been under the power of the Mussulmans, or followers of Mahomet, and governed by despotic princes, who, bearing the titles of Caliphs, Sultans, or Sophi's, have pretended to be the successors of that Prophet, for executing his pretended commission from heaven.
About the year 600 Mahomet lived, who, by his fanciful revelations, adapted, in many things, to humour both Jews, Christians, and Heathens of that age, laid the foundation of a most extensive empire. He professed one God, Creator and Governor of the world: that God, in ancient times, sent Moses to give his laws to mankind: that these were not received by the Gentiles, nor rightly obeyed by the Jews; Chrin, the second Prophet, greater than Moses, was sent to preach his laws with greater purity, but with gentleness: that he finding no better reception, God had now sent his last and greatest prophet, Mahomet, to publish his laws and commands with more power; to subdue those to them, by force and violence, who should not willingly receive them; and, for this end, to establish a kingdom upon earth, that should propagate the divine law and worship, now revealed, throughout the world. The contagion was so violent, that the prophet lived to see it spread from Arabia, where his commission first appeared, and his authority and power for gaining votaries were first exerted, in Egypt, Syria and Persia.
Mahomet left two branches of his race for succession, both which were esteemed divine by his followers; the one was continued in the Caliphs of Persia, the other in those of Egypt and Arabia. Both these, under the name of Saracens, made wonderful conquests, the one to the east and the other to the west.
The power and extensive dominions of the Persian branch long continued among the Saracens. Their territories were at length over-run by the Turks, in the thirteenth century, who, in their turn, were subdued by the Tartars under Tamerlane, about the end of the fourteenth. The race of that famous conqueror continued in power in Persia, till the time of Ishmael, from whom the present Sophis are derived. This Ishmael was the son of one Eidar, or Haidar, known by the name of Sophi, which signifies wise. Haidar had professed to reform both the doctrines and manners of the Persians, and taught, that Haly, in preference to Amar, should alone be acknowledged as the true successor of Mahomet: which generally embraced, made the Persians to esteem the Turks heretics, as the Turks do them. Notwithstanding the strength collected by this reformer, for accomplishing his plan of reformation, he was assassinated A. D. 1409. The son received sufficient accession of power to oppose the then acknowledged sovereign, and crown his father's enterprize with success. He got himself made King of Persia, under the title of Sophi, which had been before given to Haidar, and continues to be given to the Persian kings.
The Arabian branch of the Saracen empire, after a long and mighty growth in Egypt and Arabia, seems to have been at its height under the great Almanzor. Thence, in his time, it was extended over all the northern tracts of Africa, as far as the western ocean, and over the most considerable provinces in Spain. By his victorious ensigns the Gothic kingdom was overturned in Spain, and the race of its famous princes ended in Rodrigo, A. D. 714. All that country was reduced under the Saracen empire, and was afterwards divided into several Moorish kingdoms, whereof some lasted until the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, in the beginning of the sixteenth century. The kingdom continued great, after the time of Almanzor, under the succeeding caliphs; but these degenerating from the example and virtues of that prince, came to be hated of their subjects. To secure themselves against them, they procured a mighty guard of Circassian slaves. These were brought from betwixt the Euxine and Caspian seas, the ancient seat of the Amazons. They were called Mamaluc; their commanders, who were absolute over them, Sultans. One of the sultans, finding his own power, and observing the general distaste into which the caliph was fallen, first deposed, and then flew him. He took on him the government of Egypt under the name of Sultan, and maintained it by the force of his Mamaluc troops, which, by the merchandise and transportation of Circassian slaves, continually increased. This government lasted in Egypt
between two and three hundred years. New sultans were always elected, upon the death or deposition of the old, out of the Mamaluc bands; the son of the former prince being always incapable to succeed; which, perhaps, has happened by no other constitution. No nation made so brave a resistance to the growing empire of the Turks, as the Mamalucs under their sultans.
The Turks were a race of the eastern Scythians, that inhabited from the N. E. to the N. W. of the Caspian sea. Towards the 11th or 12th century, they extended themselves on the side of Muscovy, and along the banks of the Caspian and Black Sea. The caliph of Persia, named Motassem, son of the great Almamun, called in a body of these Turks for guards to his empire; and thereby laid the foundation of the structure by which his successors were at length crushed. These, coming down in great numbers, revolted from the assistance of their friends, and set up for themselves; and, having embraced the Mahometan religion, improved its fierce principles for extensive conquest. By new orders and inventions, wholly designed for extent of empire, they framed a kingdom, which, under the Ottoman race, subdued both the Greek empire, and that of the Arabians, and rooted itself in these vast dominions, where we now see its power extended, with the addition of many other provinces that have been lost to the empire.
About the year 1300, Ottoman established the Turkish kingdom. He placed his royal seat at Byrsa in Bithynia. In the following century all Asia Minor, and almost all Persia, Arabia, Syria, Egypt and Greece, were, by the victorious arms of Ottoman, Orchanes, Amurath and Bajazet, reduced under the power of the Turks. About the end of that century, they were stopped in their career of conquest by the Tartars, under Tamerlane; but that Prince, after having paid a visit to the poor Greek Emperor at Constantinople, and having got the offer of that metropolis, as a proper seat for the Empire of the world, withdrew to his native dominions, so that they soon recovered all they had lost, except Persia, and continued to extend their power.
Solyman the son of Selim, was, perhaps, of all the Turkish sultans, the most formidable enemy, at the same time, to the Persians and Christians. He took the isle of Rhodes, and, a few years after, the greatest part of Hungary, A. D. 1526. Moldavia and Wallachia became fiefs of his empire in 1529. He laid siege to Vienna, but, miscarriage in the attempt, he turned his arms against Persia, and proved more successful on the Euphrates than the Danube, recovering Bagdad from the Persians. He subdued Georgia, the ancient Iberia. His arms were victorious on every side; for his admiral, Chereden Barbarossa, after ravaging Apulia to the Red Sea, subdued the kingdom of Yemen, which is rather a province of India than Arabia. Of all the Ottoman emperors, he was the first that entered into an alliance with the French, or any other Christian power. The alliance he made with that nation has subsisted ever since. His kingdom extended from Algiers to the Euphrates, and from the borders of the Black Sea, to the utmost bounds of Greece.
The principles upon which this fierce government was founded, were, first those of Mahomet, which, by their censal paradise and predestination, joined to the spoils of the conquered, were great incentives to courage and enterprise. A second was, a belief infused among them of a divine designation of the Ottoman line to reign over them, for extent of their territories and propagation of their faith. This made Ottoman esteemed as a successor of Mahomet, at least by adoption; and both a sovereign lawgiver in civil, and, with the assistance of the Mufti, a supreme judge in religious matters. Upon this principle, obedience to his will was established to be given as to the will of God. A third was, the division of all lands, in conquered countries, among soldiers. A fourth, the allowance of no possession of lands, honors, or offices, to be hereditary, but to depend on the will of the Prince. A fifth, the extinction of all learning, which made way for the most blind obedience. A sixth, which perhaps had more influence than any of the rest, was the institution of the order of the Janisaries. This consisted in the arbitrary choice of such Christian children through their dominions, as were, by promises of the greatest growth of body, and vigour of constitution and courage, thought most fit for the emperor's peculiar service. These, at a proper age, were entered among the Emperor's guards, which lessened the number of Christians, and, in proportion, increased that of the Mussulmans, and the strength of their government. A seventh was, the greatest temperance introduced among them, in abstinence from wine, and in provision of one sort of food, which was rice. The last that shall be mentioned is, the speediness and severity of their justice, civil and military. When any officer of the crown comes to be charged, or but suspected for bad conduct, he, without any form of trial, suffers immediate execution. Be he a Viceroy, who is absolute in a province; or the grand Vizir, who has the whole military government in the empire devolved upon him, a Capigi is instantly dispatched with
the silken cord, with orders for the execution of the dreadful imperial decree. At sight of the executioner, the unhappy man knows his fate. If he speaks as the absolute government bids him, he cries, The will of God and the Emperor; or words to that purpose.
The growth and progress of the Turkish empire was sudden and violent for the two or three first centuries; but has been at a stand for more than two hundred years. There are second causes, obvious enough, to account for it—A neglect has obtained in the observance of several of these orders, which were essential to their constitution. Intemperance as to wines, and abandoned luxury with respect to women, now prevail. Their institution of the Janisaries has been likewise much altered, by the corruption of officers, who have long suffered the Christians to buy off that tribute of their children; and the Turks to purchase the preference of theirs to that order. These distempers have produced another, namely, the mutinous humour of his body of Janisaries, who, finding their own strength, long since began to make what alterations they pleased in the state. By the convulsion in the time of the bassa of Aleppo, the Ottoman race had ended, had not that bold adventurer, trusting in the faith of a treaty, been surprised and strangled by old Cuperly, the grand Vizir, and absolute in the government. Ibrahim, the father of the reigning Sultan, had some time before been deposed and strangled. The son, who was seated on the throne, by the bassa of Aleppo's enterprise failing, continued to reign Emperor. The neglect of marine affairs has been another reason of the decay, of the Turks. They long ago commonly said, that God had given the earth to the Mussulmans, and the sea to the Christians. The last that shall be observed, is the excessive use of opium. This they make use of to replace the want of wine, and divert their melancholy reflections upon the ill condition of their fortunes and lives, which depend upon the caprice of their Grand Signiors and Vizirs. This, for the present, allays all melancholy fumes and thoughts; but they soon recur again, which occasions the frequent use of it, than which nothing can more enervate the body and the mind. C.

[Further advices extracted from papers received by the late arrivals.]
VENICE, March 15. BY a decree of the senate, the subjects of this republic are prohibited from transporting arms into the Ottoman territories.
COPENHAGEN, March 11. The new ordinances are now printing relative to the bank, and the different species of coin which are in future to pass in the duchies of Sleswick and Holstein. The public offices will next month begin to make payments with the new money.
LEGHORN, March 12. Letters from Tangiers, dated Jan. 12, advise, that the British government and the Emperor of Morocco have concluded a treaty for the release of English slaves in the above states. These letters, however, add, that his Moroccan majesty entertains no favourable dispositions towards the court of London, and that the following is the cause of discontent—About three months since, the Reis Mostagamini, by order of his master, went with two frigates into the bay of Gibraltar, with the design of passing the winter there, and to obtain from the governor the privilege of having his ships taken into the dock; the governor of Gibraltar refused to comply with this demand, which so irritated the king of Morocco, that he ordered the Reis Mostagamini to return with the two frigates to Latroche.
The king of Morocco having signified a desire to having a town built in the bay of Mogadore, many grandees have purchased lands there, preparatory to the erection of edifices.
FRANCKFORT, March 27. Letters from Vienna assert, that the grand Austrian army will be in motion on the first of April.
We learn that the head quarters of the army under the command of Marechal de Romanzow are in the neighbourhood of Swaniez, which place the Polish troops have quit-
ted. According to letters from Hermanstadt, the Renegado Koezi, promoted by the Porte to the dignity of a Pacha of three tails, commands a body of 30,000 men, which it is imagined he is authorised to lead into Transylvania, of which country he is known to be possessed of a considerable share of local information.
ANTWERP, April 9. Some agents who went lately into the low countries to purchase cattle, are returned without performing that business; the States General of the United Provinces, having, by a special ordinance of the 20th of last month, forbidden any fat or lean cattle, grain, hay, or other provender, being carried out of the dominions of Holland for twelve months, unless bona fide for exportation to the Dutch colonies abroad; and they have given directions to all their officers, to see this most rigidly complied with every where.
VIENNA, March 15. On the 7th instant, in the morning, 150 Imperialists having sallied out of Semlin to protect the workmen employed at the Dyke opposite Belgrade, discovered a number of Turks embarked hastily in many boats. They immediately began to play their battery, but were astonished to see the enemies, in spite of the smart fire they kept up, approach the shore in good order, where having landed, to the number of 800 or 900 men, they immediately fell on our workmen, and killed about 100 of them; they afterwards attacked the imperial detachment, of which they killed 30 or 40 soldiers and three officers, and the carnage had been compleat if some squadrons of hussars of Wurmler had not, at the noise of cannon, flew to the assistance of our troops. The Turks saved themselves in the wood, where they kept up a small fire from among the trees, and killed two more of our troops. We are assured that the young count of Fekette was made prisoner on this occasion. Count Alvinzi ordered the garrison to sally out at the moment a large body of Turks were going to fall on a company of the regiment of Esterhazy, and he made so well directed a fire, that above 100 fell on the spot, which obliged the rest to embark in haste, carrying away with them ten empty boats which they found on the save. If this account is true, we cannot conceive how they could send so many hundred of peasants to work at the dyke, almost under the walls of Belgrade, with so weak an effort.
SEMLIN, March 10. The 7th instant, the day on which a detachment from the garrison of Belgrade surprised our workmen employed at the Dyke, near that place, a body of about 900 Turks at the same time, made an attempt on the town of Panczoua, but with far different success; for the garrison, being informed of their approach, had time to make the necessary dispositions to receive them properly. All the avenues leading to the town were occupied by our soldiers, and furnished with cannon, loaded with cartridges; another troop was placed in ambuscade without the city, to set adrift the enemy's boats, and thus to cut off their retreat; whilst another division was posted so as to attack the Turks in the rear, as soon as they had reached the gates of the place, which were left open to tempt

them. These dispositions were scarcely made, when about eleven o'clock in the morning the enemy arrived, and ran with a noise and confusion to the gate of the town, thinking the place abandoned. But what was their surprise to find our artillery playing upon them from all sides, and attacked behind by the detachment which followed close after them, and which, taking advantage of their first surprise, drove them on with bayonets fixed, giving them as they advanced the contents of our cannon; so that the carnage was compleat, none of those who entered the city escaping, and the rest being drowned in the river.
L O N D O N, April 18.
The D. I. O. of lady Wallace, was a joke in circulation some time ago at Bath. A silly custom took place among the affected people of fashion who frequented that place, of using initials in their cards, instead of intelligible words. The card left on taking leave of the place was P. P. C. which, turned into language, was "Pour prendre conge." A plain Englishman, to ridicule this affectation, left a card at every house where he had visited, with the letters D. I. O. which engaged the curiosity, and exercised the penetration of the tabbies at the tea-table for a week, when the gentleman, in a letter to a friend, condescended to tell them its meaning, viz. "Damme, I'm Off."

D—n the home circuit!—This business will never do—five causes in nine days.
At this rate there is not a man in the profession, who will be able to support a one horse chaise, to carry his pride, vanity and insolence thro' the country.
Better, far better to drop the profession at once, than to be treading through the different counties of England with our wigs and gowns upon our backs—a spectacle to gods and men—like pilgrims travelling to Mecca or Jerusalem.
New-York, June 25.
THE ship Betsey, Wheaton, from London, is arrived at New-Castle in the Delaware, in 38 days.
Yesterday arrived the Sally, Capt. Bidden, in 10 days from Halifax; she brings papers, but they contain no news.
Yesterday, being the Anniversary Feast of St. JOHN, the Evangelist, was celebrated by the Honorable Fraternity of M A S O N S, in this City.
Some particulars from Poughkeepsie, which could not be prepared for this day's paper, will appear to-morrow.
Extract of a letter from a young lady in Boston, to her friend at New-York, dated June 17, 1788.
"Patience, patience!—the dogs take the new constitution—it robs us of all those endearing sentences of chit-chat, &c. with which your letters used to be replete, and which we always classed among our choicest treasures. I shall never feel good natured again—Women and politics are often at variance. Oh, my head! Mr. Adams is just arrived, and the bells make such a clattering, that I must bid adieu for the present."
Extract of a letter from Peterburg, Virginia, dated June 12.
"A few days will determine the fate of the new constitution. We have no doubt but our state will adopt it in spite of all the declamation and reasoning of a Henry and a Mason. It meets with powerful support in the Governor, Maddison, and Innes."
Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated June 15, 1788.
"Our convention is still sitting, and I fear for the constitution. as the division will be a very nice one when the question is put."
On the 7th instant, after an absence of nine years, arrived at Boston, from England, his excellency JOHN ADAMS, Esq. late Ambassador from the United States of America, to the court of Great Britain—with his lady. His excellency governor Hancock having previously ordered, that every mark of respect be paid his excellency on his arrival, the approach of the ship in which he arrived, was announced by a
signal from the light-house, and a discharge of cannon from the Castle—when off the castle he was saluted with a federal discharge of cannon from that fortress, and when the ship had arrived at her moorings, the secretary of the state of Massachusetts, by order of his excellency the governor, repaired in his excellency's carriage to the pier, from whence, in the state barge, the secretary waited on the ambassador on board, and in his excellency governor Hancock's name, congratulated him on his arrival, and invited him and family to his excellency's seat. The wind being fresh and fair, the ship arrived at town too early to admit the citizens of Boston to receive his excellency in the manner they had previously intended—notwithstanding, short as the time was, the pier was crowded—and his excellency welcomed on shore by three huzzas from several thousand persons. The secretary of the state, accompanied his excellency in the barge on shore, where his excellency governor Hancock's carriage waited for him—in which he, his lady, and the secretary of the state, and others rode to the governor's house, receiving, as he passed, the compliments and congratulations of his fellow citizens. The bells in the several churches in Boston rang during the remainder of the day—every countenance wore the expressions of joy—and every one testified that approbation of the eminent services his excellency has rendered his country, in a manner becoming free-men, and men alive to the sensations of gratitude.
Mr. ADAMS at present resides at the house of his excellency governor Hancock, where he received the congratulations of his honour the lieutenant governor, the honorable council, and the heads of the several departments of the government of Massachusetts, on his arrival in his native country.
Besides his Excellency Mr. Adams, and Lady, the Rev. John Murray, John Stewart, Esq. collector of customs for the island of Bermuda, and Mr. William Boyd of Portsmouth, came passengers with Capt. Callahan.
Mr. ADAM's reception, by the Legislature of Massachusetts, to-morrow.
The last accounts from Paris, via London, mention, "That they were in daily expectation of the King's coming to hold a Bed of Justice for the purpose of enregistering the greatest part of the projects and change which have occupied the attention of the King's Council, and his principal Minister, since the meeting of the Notables."
"The edicts are very numerous, and according to general report and belief, the principal of them are as follow:
"1st. The suppression of the Chambers of Parliament, except that of Tournelle and the Great Chamber.
"2d. The suppression of the Mint Court, of the Chamber of Accounts, and of all the subaltern jurisdictions of the precincts of the town.
"3d. The creation of a Parliament or of a Sovereign Court at Lyons and at Rouen.
"4th. The creation of a Chamber of Peers, for registering the pecuniary edicts.
"5th. The change of the Criminal Code.
"6th. The establishment of a Chatelet at Versailles.
"7th. The enlarging of the jurisdiction of the Chatelet of Paris.
"8th. The re-union of the Admiralty and Consulate.
"9th. The establishing of the Territorial Impost with some modification; and
"10th. The Stamp Act with Changes, which greatly reduces the objects liable to duty.
"These objects have caused the inhabitants of Paris to be at this moment in a state of singular impatience and curiosity, as they are of such great importance as naturally to cause the face of affairs to change.
"The Abbe Sabatier has been removed from Mount St. Michael to Arles in Provence, where he is ordered to remain in exile; he is not permitted to write to any person but through the medium of the Ministry of Paris, and he is prohibited from mentioning any thing relative to administration, or to public affairs. The Marquis de Sourches, Grand Provost of France, and father of the unfortunate Marquis of Tourzel, is dead; but his death only vacates a Cordon Bleu, his grandson having long had a grant of his post.—Mr. de Couteux has been just sent by government into Normandy with one hundred thousand crowns to distribute among the suffering manufacturers and weavers.
"The parliament of Rennes have at last registered the Protestant edict without any alteration."

YE woods, and ye mountains unknown, Beneath whose dark shadow I lay; To the breast of serene silence, These sighs bid sweet echo convey. Wherever the pensively leans, By fountain, or bank, or in grove; Her heart will explain what he means, Who sighs both from sorrow and love. More plaintive than Philomel's song, O breathe the fond strain in her ear; And say, tho' departed so long, The friend of her bosom draws near. Then tell her what days of delight, Then tell her what ages of pain, I felt, whilst I liv'd in her light, I feel till I see her again.

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 fa- 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 an 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 completed 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.
