The FEDERAL SHIP—A SONG. Tune Yankee Doodle : Or, My Daddy was in the Rebellion. W HAT think you of the Yankees now, Malicious sons of slaughter! Go to your trades—go to the plough, Nor make us burst with laughter.
Let Centinel lay down his arms, Likewise Philadelphia's, Give over drinking of raw drams, For much we fear your senses.
Now strike your topsails, imps of war, Vile screaming owls of faction, The Fed'ral Ship ne'er think to mar, Before she comes to action.
But have a care, ye sons of strife, Her ammunition's ready, The drums, the trumpets, and the fife, Call up her men all steady.
Steady—nor let a broadside fly, There's nought but old wives bawling— Just view them in the white o' th' eye, They'll on their backs be sprawling.
Come, come, my lads, fend round the can, And drink to Boston city— They are the boys began the plan— How beautiful! how pretty! Philadelphia, Feb. 19, 1788.
New-York, Feb. 27. Tuesday, February 26, 1788.
Congress assembled—Present, New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and South-Carolina; and from Connecticut, Mr. Wadsworth, and from North-Carolina, Mr. White.
According to order, the Minister Plenipotentiary from his Most Christian Majesty was introduced to a Public Audience, when he delivered a Letter of Credence from his Most Christian Majesty, of which the following is a Translation:
Very dear great Friends and Allies, PARTICULAR reasons, relative to the good of our service, have determined us to appoint a successor to the Chevalier de la Luzerne, our Minister Plenipotentiary with you. We have chosen the COUNT DE MOUSTIER to take his place, in the same quality. The marks of zeal which he has hitherto given us, persuade us, that on this new occasion, he will conduct himself in such a manner as to render himself agreeable to you, and more and more worthy of our good will. We pray you to give full faith to whatever he may say to you on our part; particularly when he shall assure you of the sincerity of our wishes for your prosperity, as well as of the constant affection and friendship which we bear to the United States in general, and to each of them in particular. We pray God, that he will have you, very dear great Friends and Allies, in his holy keeping. Written at Versailles, the 30th September, 1787.
Your good Friend, and Ally, (Signed) LOUIS Count de MONTMORIN. To the United States of North-America.
After which he addressed Congress in a SPEECH, of which the following is a Translation:
Gentlemen of the Congress, THE relations of friendship and affection which subsist between the King my Master and the United States, have been established on a basis which cannot but daily acquire a new degree of solidity. It is satisfactory to be mutually convinced that an Alliance formed for obtaining a glorious peace, after efforts directed by the greatest wisdom, and sustained with admirable constancy, must always be conformable to the common interests; and that it is a fruitful source of infinite advantages to both nations, whose mutual confidence and intercourse will encrease in proportion as they become better known to each other.
The King, who was the first to connect himself with the United States as a Sovereign Power, to second their efforts and favor their interests, has never ceased, since that memorable period, to turn his attention to the means of proving to them his affection. This sentiment directs the vows which his Majesty forms for their prosperity. Their success will always interest him sensibly; and there is reason to hope for it, from the wisdom of the measures which they will adopt.
To this solemn assurance of interest and attachment on the part of the King, to the unanimous sentiment of the nation, and to the fervent wishes of a great number of my countrymen, who have had the advantage to be associated in the military toils and success of the United States; permit me to add those which I in particular entertain for
the growth and glory of these States. I at length enjoy the satisfaction of having it in my power here to testify the profound veneration with which I have been constantly penetrated, for a people who have been able to fix, from their birth, the attention of the most considerable powers in Europe, and whose courage and patriotism have adorned all nations.—My happiness will be compleat, Gentlemen, if I could succeed by my zeal and most constant care, to merit your esteem, your confidence, and your approbation.
The task which I have to accomplish, appears to me to be the more difficult, as in succeeding a Minister who held the place near you, Gentlemen, with which I am now honored, I am far from enjoying the advantages which he derived from his talents, his knowledge, and those circumstances which placed him in the most intimate relations to you. I will endeavor to resemble him, at least by the greatest attention to promote and give success to whatever may contribute to the satisfaction, the glory, and the prosperity of the United States.
To which the PRESIDENT made the following REPLY:
SIR, IT will always give us pleasure to acknowledge the friendship and important good offices, which we have experienced from his Most Christian Majesty, and your generous nation; and we flatter ourselves, that the same principles of magnanimity and regard to mutual convenience, which dictated the connections between us, will continue to operate, and to render them still more extensive in their benefits to the two countries.
We consider the alliance as involving engagements, highly interesting to both parties; and we are persuaded that they will be observed with entire and mutual good faith.
We are happy in being so explicitly assured of the continuance of his Majesty's friendship and attachment; and in this opportunity of expressing the high sense we entertain of their sincerity and value. It is with real satisfaction, Sir, that we receive you as his Minister Plenipotentiary; especially as your character gives us reason to expect, that the harmony and interest of both nations, will not be less promoted by your talents, candor and liberality, than they were by those which distinguished your predecessor, and recommended him to our esteem and regard.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Edward, Smith, from Shelburne.
Same day sailed the ship Henry, Mackay, and ship Mary, Stevenson, both for London-derry.
A British Priat of a late date, says, "The return of the Marquis of Buckingham to Ireland, as Viceroy, gives infinite pleasure to the people of that country; his Excellency will now accomplish what he once began, the annihilation of a tyrannic Aristocracy."

Mr. CHILDS, I wish to know from some of your quality correspondents, whether it is the usage for every body to talk very loud at the Theatre during the time of performance? Or whether "those beings only, who assume the name of Gentlemen , upon the sole credentials of a boot, a witch , round hat," and an additional eye , have the exclusive privilege of chattering like magpies, to the annoyance of all those within hearing of their volatile tongues? If it is the fashion for the former, I think those like myself, who attend the Theatre for rational amusement, must be highly entertained indeed (for one, you know, must admire what is fashionable): but if only for the latter, I cannot conceive why Messrs. Hallam and Henry do not purchase a number of Parrots and Monkeys . They might be distributed thro' the house to great advantage; and would save these pretty fellows a deal of hard study to be witty, and the audience much pain. The Parrots would be full as entertaining , and the Monkeys most excellent substitutes , in my humble opinion. Last evening I was so fortunate as to be seated near two of those modest Gentlemen , and was favored with their pretty prattle during almost the whole time of the performance of that beautiful, sentimental and interesting Comedy, " The Heiress ." Indeed, Sir, I was so highly delighted with them and their " soft nonsense ," that I had it several times in contemplation to request them to sport their pretty figures on the stage , and oblige the audience at large with their " small chat ."
What a pity it is, Mr. Printer, that fashion and politeness cannot agree to jog on through life together, hand in hand, particularly as one gives additional lustre to the other, for that modern politeness bears so great a resemblance to impudence , that the one often passes current for the other. Should it be found fashionable and vastly polite for every one rich and poor, great and small, whether in box, pit or gallery, to talk as loud and as fast as possible, during the pathetic parts of a Tragedy —the sprightly and sentimental parts of a Comedy —the laughing parts of a Faice , and the harmonizing parts of an Opera , I shall point out the above gentlemen, as excellent models of imitation, for those who had rather sacrifice sensibility than be thought unfashionable. Yours as usual,
BLUNT. New-York, Feb. 26 1788.
The following Remarks on the New Plan of Government are handed us as the substance of Doctor WILLIAMSON's Address to the Freemen of Edenton and the County of Chowan, in North-Carolina, when assembled to instruct their Representatives.
(Concluded from yeite day's Pape.) IS there a man in this State who believes it possible for us to continue under such a Government?—Let us suppose but for a minute, that such a measure should be attempted.—Let us suppose that the several States shall be required and obliged to pay their several quotas according to the original plan. You know that North-Carolina, on the last four years, has not paid one dollar into the Treasury for eight dollars that she ought to have paid. We must encrease our taxes exceedingly, and those taxes must be of the most grievous kind; they must be taxes on lands and heads; taxes that cannot fail to grind the face of the poor; for it is clear that we can raise little by imports and exports. Some foreign goods are imported by water from the Northern States, such goods pay a duty for the benefit of those States, which is seldom drawn back; this operates as a tax upon our citizens. On this side, Virginia promotes her revenue to the amount of 25,000 dollars every year, by a tax on our tobacco that the exports; South-Carolina on the other side, may avail herself of similar opportunities. Two thirds of the foreign goods that are consumed in this State are imported by land from Virginia or South-Carolina; such goods pay a certain impost for the benefit of the importing States, but our Treasury is not profited by this commerce. By such means our citizens are taxed more than one hundred thousand dollars every year, but the State does not receive credit for a shilling of that money. Like a patient that is bleeding at both arms, North-Carolina must soon expire under such wasteful operations. Unless I am greatly mistaken, we have seen enough of the State of the Union, and of North-Carolina in particular, to be assured that another form of Government is become necessary. Is the form now proposed well calculated to give relief? To this we must answer in the affirmative. All foreign goods that shall be imported into these States, are to pay a duty for the use of the nation. All the States will be on a footing, whether they have bad ports or good ones. No duties will be laid on exports; hence the plan will receive the true value of his produce, wherever it may be shipped. If excises are laid on wine, spirits, or other luxuries, they must be uniform throughout the States. By

a careful management of imports and excises, the national expenses may be discharged without any other species of tax; but if a poll-tax, or land-tax shall ever become necessary, the weight must press equally on every part of the Union. For in all cases, such taxes must be according to the number of inhabitants. Is it not a pleasing consideration that North-Carolina, under all her natural disadvantages, must have the same facility of paying her share of the public debt as the most favored, or the most fortunate State? She gains no advantage by this plan, but she recovers from her misfortunes. She stands on the same footing with her sister States, and they are too generous to desire that she should stand on lower ground. When you consider those parts of the new System which are of the greatest import—those which respect the general question of liberty and safety, you will recollect that the States in Convention were unanimous; and you must remember that some of the members of that body have risked their lives in defence of liberty; but the system does not require the help of such arguments; it will bear the most scrupulous examination.
When you refer the proposed system to the particular circumstances of North-Carolina, and consider how she is to be affected by this plan; you must find the utmost reason to rejoice in the prospect of better times—this is a sentiment that I have ventured with the greater confidence, because it is the general opinion of my late Honorable Colleagues, and I have the utmost reliance in their superior abilities. But if our constituents shall discover faults where we could not see any, or if they shall suppose that a plan is formed for abridging their liberties when we imagined that we had been securing both liberty and property on a more stable foundation; if they perceive that they are to suffer a loss where we thought they must rise from a misfortune; they will at least do us the justice to charge those errors to the head, and not to the heart.
The proposed system is now in your hands, and with it the fate of your country. We have a common interest, for we are embarked in the same vessel. At present she is in a sea of troubles, without sails, oars, or pilot; ready to be dashed into pieces by every flaw of wind. You may secure a port, unless you think it better to remain at sea. If there is any man among you that wishes for troubled times and fluctuating measures, that he may live by speculations, and thrive by the calamities of the State; this Government is not for him. If there is any man who envies the prosperity of a native citizen, who wishes that we should remain without native merchants or seamen, without shipping, without manufactures, without commerce; poor and contemptible, the tributaries of a foreign country; this Government is not for him. And if there is any man who has never been reconciled to our Independence, who wishes to see us degraded and insulted abroad, oppressed by anarchy at home, and torn into pieces by factions; incapable of resistance and ready to become a prey to the first invader; this Government is not for him.
But it is a Government, unless I am greatly mistaken, that gives the fairest promise of being firm and honorable; safe from Foreign Invasion or Domestic Sedition. A Government by which our commerce must be protected and enlarged; the value of our produce and of our lands must be increased; the labourer and the mechanic must be encouraged and supported. It is a form of Government that is perfectly fitted for protecting Liberty and Property, and for cherishing the good Citizen and the Honest Man.
A DISTILLER, WHO has had a long experience in the various processes of Distillation, as practiced in this city, and was always distinguished by the approbation of those gentlemen, the directors of whose business was committed to him, is willing to engage with any gentleman who might have occasion for his services in that line. Application made to the Printer, will be treated with due deference. Feb. 27. tf
