CHARLESTON, May 31, 1788.
A young gentleman is arrived in this city who accompanied Mr. Whitefield, deputed by the southern commissioners to treat with the Creek nation; from him we learn, that the Indians received Mr. Whitefield very kindly, and said, if he belonged to South Carolina, his talk should be heard, but if to Georgia, they would have nothing to do with him.
Yesterday arrived the Brig Robert, captain Athmead, in 17 days from Philadelphia.
On Thursday afternoon we had a most violent storm of thunder, lightning and rain. The brig Adventure, lying in the stream, her foremast was struck with lightning, which shattered it down to the bottom of the vessel, without doing the least injury to the deck.
Thursday evening about nine o'clock, a fire broke out in a small house in Friend-street, which occasioned considerable alarm; but did no further damage than consuming part of that building, the flames being speedily extinguished.
On Thursday a party of country people brought to this city two men charged with piracy and murder. From the best information that can be collected it appears, that a Mr. M'Clode came to North-Carolina with a cargo of goods, but finding a dull sale, determined on seeking a better market, for which purpose a great part of the property was put into a Schooner designed for Charleston, but being driven into Bull's Bay by adverse weather, the captain and owner were murdered in the manner described in the following depositions.

Webb, and Mr. Clode or M'Clode, the owner of the goods, came both of them not many months ago, in a Brig from London to Edenton; from said place they came to Newbern with a small Schooner, which the said Clode or M'Clode, had bought at Edenton. The said William Cain shipped himself on board said Schooner at Newbern, for six hard dollars per month; from thence they sailed to Beaufort, they laid there about one week; from thence they went to Cape Fear, at said place Richard Williams came on board of them, they lying near the fort, and was to have worked his passage to Charleston; from thence they set sail bound to Georgia; when he was about Cape Romain Inlet, being at night, the wind blowing fresh, said William Cain being forward at the jib sheet, Richard Williams knocked capt. Webb overboard with the butt end of a musket, and immediately after he knocked overboard Mr. Clode or M'Clode, with the tiller and the lead that hangs to the lead line—that after the same was done, the said Richard Williams told him to keep it secret and not let it be known—that being in want of provisions, and the boat leaky, he got Mr. James Mouzon to bring the Schooner up to this landing.

A correspondent informs us, that he has it from the best authority, that the people in the back parts of this state, are very anxious to get the machines for ginning, carding and spinning cotton amongst them; they say that then the major part of those persons who are now employed in spinning of cotton, can be taught to weave it after it is spun by the machines; and adds, that it will take but few hands to gin, card and spin the cotton with the machines, to what it now does by manual labor. He mentions also, that they are determined to raise raw silk, as they say it will not only fetch a great price, but will be attended with little trouble in bringing it to market, as is the case with bulky articles.
It is also said to be in contemplation, to encourage the weaving of cotton velvet throughout the United States, in winter time, which is stronger and warmer wear than broad cloth; this will encourage the raising of cotton, and will enable the northern states to manufacture all our wool into coarse cloths, for the use of our slaves, &c. He adds, that if we wish to be a united people, each state must play into each other's hands as much as possible, and do all they can to serve each other, which will cement us together, so that we shall then be not nominally but really a united people. It is not doubted but that France will manufacture cotton into velvet for the use of her inhabitants in winter, which will enrich us, and as we are in an alliance with them, they by strengthening and enriching us, will serve themselves in an eminent degree.
PHILADELPHIA, June 11.
At a meeting of the friends of the Federal Government, at Apple's tavern, on Saturday evening, it was unanimously agreed that a procession ought to take place in Philadelphia, in the event of the adoption of the proposed Constitution by a ninth state.—It was therefore Resolved, that this public notice should be given, that a general meet-
ing will be held at the State-house this day, the 11th of June, at five o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of appointing a Committee to arrange and conduct the business, provided the measure should be approved by such meeting.
NEW-YORK, June 13.
Extract of a letter from a Member of the Virginia Convention, now in session, dated the 4th inst. at Richmond.
"I do now in compliance with your request, forward you my opinion of the sentiments of our Convention on the proposed plan of Government for the United States. We met in very full Convention on Monday, the day appointed for our meeting;—We did little else on that day than appointing the necessary officers:—Mr. Pendleton is our President. Yesterday being the second day of our session, brought about little more than a resolution to this effect, "That no general question should be propounded until the Constitution should be discussed clause by clause," and also another resolution "That the Convention will, on to-morrow, resolve itself into a Committee of the whole to investigate the subject of the Constitution proposed for the Government of the United States." This is the day (June 4) appointed for the bringing on the proposed Constitution, agreeably to the resolve of yesterday. The two first sessions were read, and some lengthy debates followed; among the speakers was our Governor (Randolph) who in the course of debate declared himself entirely in favor of the adoption of the Constitution, under present circumstances; for he observed, whatever might heretofore have been his wishes for amendment, he believed it now impracticable; as there was no reason to believe that those States which had already adopted it would rescind their opinion. We had reason to expect a decided majority before this declaration of his Excellency:—It seems now the general opinion, indeed there is scarce a doubt but the Constitution will meet a very considerable majority of friends, notwithstanding the opposition of Mr. Mason, Mr. Henry, and some others.—Mr. Mason has observed that he would make great concessions for the sake of some amendments, if any gentleman would propose a mode of obtaining them."
Extract of a letter from Virginia, dated June 4. "I have just time to inform you, that the Convention proceeded this day to business, and Governor Randolph declared himself decidedly in favor of the adoption of the proposed Constitution under the present situation of the United States, which was essentially different from what it was at the time he represented the State in the Federal Convention. The astonishment of the opposition was greatly excited at the warmth with which he concluded his speech, declaring, that before he would consent to the rejection of the proposed plan (which would necessarily involve in it THE RUIN OF THE UNION) he would cheerfully agree to lose that hand which he then presented. The prospect is really pleasing, and the above circumstance is almost a certain prelude of the adoption."
A Dublin paper of April 5 says, "The fermentation in France increases so rapidly, and the Parliaments and people are so resolved to oppose the despotism which the Minister wishes to establish, that the Court of Versailles is in the utmost embarrassment—so much so, that the most pressing solicitations of the Duchesses in favor of the Duke of Orleans have been refused; and so jealous and apprehensive of a revolt is the Minister, that he has convinced the King, that it would be dangerous to confide the army on the frontiers to the Prince of Conde, consequently another arrangement must be made."
On Wednesday afternoon arrived the sloop Betsey, Brooks, in three days from Philadelphia; and Yesterday arrived the sloop Maria, Elliott, in seven days from Charleston.
Cleared out, on Wednesday, the ship Hudson, Folger, for Lisbon; Schooner True Blue, Cooper, for Newbern; and sloop Charles, White, for Norfolk.

Experiments on the Mineral Waters of Saratoga.
From MITCHELL's Journal. A Young turkey held a few inches above the water in the crater of the lower spring, was thrown into convulsions in less than half a minute, and gasping shewed signs of approaching death; but on removal from that place and exposure to the fresh air, revived, and became lively. On immersion again for a minute in the gas, the bird was taken out languid and motionless.
A small dog put into the same cavity, and made to breathe the contained air, was, in less than one minute, thrown into convulsive motions—made to pant for breath, and lastly to lose entirely the power to cry or move; when taken out, he was too weak to stand, but soon, in the common air, acquired strength enough to rise, and stagger away.
A trout recently caught, and briskly swimming in a pail of brook water, was carefully put into a vessel just filled from the spring; the fish was instantly agitated with violent convulsions, gradually lost the capacity to move and poize itself, grew stupid and insensible, and in a few minutes was dead.
A candle repeatedly lighted, and let down near the surface of the water, was suddenly extinguished, and not a vestige of light or fire remained on the wick.
These experiments nearly correspond with those usually made in Italy, at the famous GROTTA DEL CANE, for the entertainment of travellers; as mentioned by Keyfler, Addison and others.
A bottle filled with the water and shaken, emits suddenly a large quantity of aerial matter, that either forces out the cork, or makes a way beside or through it, or bursts the vessel.
A quantity of wheaten flour, moistened with this water and kneaded into dough, when made into cakes and put into a baking-pan, rose, during the application of heat, into light and spongy bread, without the aid of yeast or leaven.
From which it appears, that the air extricated from the water is precisely similar to that produced by ordinary fermentation.
Some lime-water, made of abalacites brought from the subterranean cave at Rhinebeck, became immediately turbid on mixture with the spring water, but when the water had been lately drawn, the precipitate was quickly re-dissolved.
Some of the rock surrounding the spring, on being put into the fire, calcined to quick-lime, and slacked very well.
When the aerial matter has evaporated, the water loses its transparency and lets fall a calcareous sediment.
Whence it is true, that the gas is aerial acid, that the rock is lime-stone, and that by means of the former, the water becomes capable of dissolving and conveying the latter.
ADDRESS to the Honorable the Members of the CONVENTION of VIRGINIA. (Said to be written by Tench Coxe, Esq.) (Concluded from yesterday's paper.)
IT will be urged perhaps, that property should be represented, and that tho' Virginia has only 250,000 free inhabitants, your representation should still be greater than that of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, because you are richer. But surely this argument will not be urged by the friends of equal liberty among the people. It will not be openly objected against the proposed constitution, that it secures the equal liberties of the poor. But suppose for a moment, a claim for a representation of property were admissible before an assembly of the free and equal citizens of America, will not Virginia enjoy the advantage of two votes more in the federal government than either Massachusetts or Pennsylvania, though each of those states has 108,000 free citizens more than yours? If we were represented by that only rule of republics, for your ten representatives Massachusetts would have more than fourteen, and Pennsylvania the same number, while both of them are limited to eight. Here then we see the balance of property, said to be in favor of Virginia, has procured her three fourths as much extra power as the lives, liberties and property of all the people of Massachusetts or Pennsylvania. Power has been given to your state with no sparing hand. You (suffer me respectfully to say so) of all the members of the union, appear to have the least cause of complaint. Permit me to remind you of the objections made on this ground by Mr. Martin, of Maryland. The opposition there asserted that the great states had too large a share of power; and you have the most of all. The same sentiments were urged in the Connecticut convention. Is it probable then that an allotment of power more favorable to you would be made by a new convention? I submit to your candor whether you ought to ask a greater share. A common partition, in point of wealth and resources, between your state and any other, is a matter I wish to touch with delicacy. I mean not to offend, but
you would despise a freeman, that would decline the decent expression of his thoughts on so momentous an occasion. I would submit to you, whether the energy of 250,000 whites in a southern climate, surrounded by more than as many slaves, can be, or rather is it equal to that of the same number in a northern climate? Whether two or three negroes in Virginia will be found equal to one yeoman or manufacturer of Pennsylvania or Massachusetts? Whether the ships, mercantile capitals, houses, and monied corporations of Philadelphia, with her growing manufactures and connections in foreign commerce, may not be placed in the scale against the balance of wealth you may be thought to possess, when Kentucky shall become an independent member of the American union.
But, gentlemen, it will be improper to trespass longer on your valuable time, devoted as it is to the most important concerns of Virginia, America, and mankind. Let me intreat you only to bear in mind the wide difference that exists in the opinions and views of those who oppose the new Constitution. You will find they differ as much from each other, as they differ from the friends of this plan. Were there no other people in America but the opposers of the proposed government, it will appear, on a fair statement of their various views and objections, that any Constitution which could be formed, on the principles of those in some States, would meet with as much disapprobation by those in others, as they have deemed it necessary to shew to the propositions of the Federal Convention. Consider then, in the event of your rejection, in what a condition we shall be left—into what a situation we may be thrown! thirteen jarring sovereignties—two or three contending confederacies—or a feeble union—will be the miserable and hopeless alternatives. The measure of foreign contempt will be filled up. Infals will naturally follow, and then injuries abroad—while the certain dangers to liberty, property, and peace, at home, will sink every American, however firm, into despondency, or drive him to despair. But this will be too much.—The Convention of Virginia will never be instrumental in bringing such evils on the United States. No.—We will confidently hope that those among you, who do not altogether approve the proposed government, will yet concur in the measure, to save their country from anarchy and ruin. They will remember the provision to obtain amendments, and will recollect that the power will continue with the people at large in all time to come. May 21, 1788.

He trusts it will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (figured by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unqualified assiduity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimney shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fee laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the usual amount of general public utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The under taking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by the ignition, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned in some instances, by neglect of sweepers at rising at regular periods, and in others, no knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the above place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf. STEPHEN PATERSON.
