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 wish 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.

STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark, and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia, RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles- Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia, proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison's George Inn, Phi- ladelphia, at three o'clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Pow- les Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sun- day) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of bag- gage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is per- formed in half the time.
Letters, Newspapers, &c. left at the New- York, Albany, and Philadelphia stage office, kept by Christopher Beckman, in Courtland-street, New- York; and with Mr. Michael Dennison, at the George Inn, corner of Arch and Second-street, Philadelphia, will be safely conveyed gratis.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every after- noon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Eli- zabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Eli- zabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge- town in Raway, 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 14wt of baggage; and all way passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.
No racing allowed in this line. JOHN MERCEREAU, JOHN HEARD, CHARLES BARNETT, WILLIAM KERLINE.

New-York RUM
Of excellent Flavor and good Proof FOR SALE,

Grand Federal Procession.
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.
[CONTINUED.] XXXII.
MOUNTING 20 guns, commanded by J. Green, Esq. Capt. S. Smith; W. Belcher and Mr. Mercer, Lieutenants; four young boys in uniform as Midshipmen; the crew, including officers, consisted of 25 men. The ship Union is 33 feet in length, her width and depth in due proportion. Her bottom is the barge of the ship Alliance, and the same barge which formerly belonged to the Serapis, and was taken in the memorable engagement of Capt. Paul Jones, of the Bon Homme Richard, with the Serapis.—The Union is a master-piece of elegant workmanship, perfectly proportioned and complete throughout; decorated with emblematical carving, and finished even to a stroke of the painter's brush. And what is truly astonishing, she was begun and completed in less than four days, viz. begun at 11 o'clock on Monday morning the 30th of June, and on the field of rendezvous on Thursday evening following, fully prepared to join in the Grand Procession. The workmanship and appearance of this beautiful object commanded universal admiration and applause, and did high honor to the artists of Philadelphia, who were concerned in her construction.—She was mounted on a carriage made for the purpose, and drawn by ten horses.—A sheet of canvas was tacked all around along the water-line, and extending over a light frame, hung to the ground, so as entirely to conceal the wheels and machinery. This canvas was painted to represent the sea; so that nothing incongruous appeared to offend the eye. The ceremonies in setting sail, receiving the pilot on board, trimming her sails to the wind, according to the several courses of the line of march, throwing the lead, her arrival at Union Green, casting anchor, being hail'd and welcomed with three cheers, and the captain forwarding his dispatches to the President of the United States, &c. &c. were all performed with the strictest maritime propriety:—but neither time, nor the space allotted for this account, will permit such a detail as would do justice to the conduct of Captain Green and his crew, and to the architects and several workmen concerned in this beautiful feature in our Grand Procession. These particulars may be subjects of future display and amusement.
The ship was followed by The Pilots of the Port.
With their Boat (named "The Federal Pilots") under the command of Isaac Roach; who steered along side the ship Union at the place appointed, and put Mr. Michael Dawson on board as pilot; then took his station with his boat in the procession, and on her arrival attended and took the pilot off again.

The barge ten feet long, manned with a cockswain and six little boys, in a beautiful uniform of white, decorated with blue ribbands. On the platform underneath, seven hands building a boat 13 feet long, which was set and nearly completed during the procession. It will be manifest the numbers abovementioned have reference to the 13 states of America, the 12 states represented in the late general convention, and the ten states now united under the new constitution.
The whole machine was contrived with great skill, and drawn by four bright bay horses, belonging to & under the conduct of Mr. Jacob Toy, of the Northern Liberties, followed by forty boat-builders, headed by Messrs. Bowyer, Brooks, and Warwick Hale.

The flag carried in front by Richard Tittermary; representing a rope-yard, with ten men spinning and three standing idle, with their hemp around their waists; emblematical of the present situation of the thirteen states, with a motto, "May commerce flourish!"—Next in front, as leaders, were John Tittermary, sen. and George Goodwin, being the oddest belonging to the calling; followed by the other gentlemen of the profession, with a piece of rope and hemp, in their hands; and the journeymen and apprentices in the rear, with hemp around their waists, and their spinning clouts in their hands, about 60 in number.

American Occurrences.
FREDERICKSBURG, July 3.
ON Thursday night last, Mr. James Pettigrew, a merchant of this town, being alarmed by a noise about his house, snatched up his gun, which was loaded with large shot, and ran to the window, from whence (although so dark as to render it impossible to distinguish one person from another at the distance of a very few feet) he discovered somebody within the inclosure, and having reason to apprehend from the threats of a female slave, who had run off from him a few hours before, that mischief was intended by her, and that the person he saw was either the slave or some of her confederates, repeatedly asked who it was, and declared unless he was immediately informed he would immediately fire; the unfortunate object remained silent, which confirming Mr. Pettigrew's fears, he discharged his piece and the person immediately fell, who proved to be the slave that had eloped; the contents of the gun had penetrated immediately below the right breast, and the unfortunate object died a victim to her outrage and obstinacy in less than an hour afterwards. Mr. Pettigrew early the next morning, delivered himself
up to the officers of justice, by whom he was committed to gaol, and on Monday, last a court was held for his examination when the outrage intended by the negro was so fully established by the testimony and the fears of Mr. Pettigrew appeared so well founded, that the court determined the act to come under the description of justifiable homicide, and Mr. Pettigrew was honorably acquitted.
New-York, July 14.
ON Saturday arrived here, sloop Betsey, Bailey, Philadelphia; sloop Nancy, Brainsby, Wilmington.
Accounts from Poughkeepsie, by Saturday evening's mail, mention, that the hon. the convention were not ready for the question on Thursday. It was proposed, that Saturday would be the day of final decision.
We learn from Wyoming, that in the evening of the 29th ultimo, a number of men, armed and painted like Indians, entered the house of colonel Timothy Pickering, and made him their prisoner and carried him off. The party was commanded by John Hyde; their head quarters are at the Black Walnut Bottom, where they have pinned and confined Mr. Pickering.
Extract from a Boston paper of July 5. BY EXPRESS.
Yesterday at 5 o'clock, Mr. PEASE arrived here, in 58 hours from New-York, with the glorious intelligence of the RATIFICATION of the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION by the Ancient Dominion of VIRGINIA. The letters containing these agreeable tidings, were read by his Excellency the Governor, to a large number of gentlemen assembled at his house, which crowned the joy of the day.
Extract of a letter from Albany, July 6.
"As I suppose you will be anxious to hear some of the particulars concerning the unhappy disturbances which happened here the fourth instant, I shall endeavor to give you as exact an account as possible."
"When the news of the adoption of the constitution, by the state of Virginia, arrived here, the federal party caused the bells to be rung; walked up to the fort in procession; had ten guns fired with three huzzas between each shot. The same evening the ant federal party had a meeting, and concluded on walking to the fort in procession the next morning, to burn the constitution, which they put into execution about eight o'clock. About eleven both parties joined to celebrate independence; walked in procession to the fort, and had thirteen cannon fired; after which the federal party, with a few of the other, dined at Mr. Lewis's; the principal part of the ant federal party went to Mr. Hilton's, where they had a flag displayed, and were firing guns and huzzing all the fore part of the day. There was a few light horse under the command of Dirck Ten Broeck, Esq. and the artillery company under arms, who, when they were dismissed at twelve, had orders to be on the parade at five, in order to spend the afternoon, in celebrating independence, as they had the morning—before five o'clock, the federal party agreed to spend the remainder of the day in rejoicing on account of the adoption of the constitution by ten states; when the troops paraded, they were informed of the intentions of the party, and after Abraham G. Lansing, Esq. had the artillery company dismissed (for he could not be consistent with his political sentiments rejoice with them) Major Cumpston ordered all who were federal to parade, when every man under arms paraded except three, who joined the ant federalists at Mr. Hilton's."
"The federalists then began their manœuvres by walking through the city, carrying a small field piece and firing it at different parts of the town, they turned up the lane which leads from Court to Green Street, intending to go past Mr. Hilton's; but as soon as they entered the street a violent engagement ensued—stones, clubs, and bricks were used on both sides—the light horse were beat back, and went round the block to the other end of the street, where they joined in the action. It was expected some lives would have been lost, for the artillery made use of bayonets; the federal party being most powerful, forced into the house, and made prisoners of those who had not escaped."
"Those who were most hurt in the engagement are, Alderman Price, T. V. W. Graham, and Dirck Ten Broeck, Esqrs. Messrs. Thomas and Gerrit Witbeck, David Gibson a constable, a Mr. M'Dole, and a young man of the name of M'Kinzie, a merchant's clerk and an apprentice of the printer's; there are many who live in the north and south parts of the town whose names I do not know were much bruised, but it is expected they will all recover. Alderman M'Clallen, and Mr. James Caldwell, each received a slight wound in the head. Mr. Graham, was the first knocked down by a stone on the head and his life was for some minutes despaired of."
"The windows of Hilton's house were all broke, and much damage done to his furniture, appraised at thirty-six pounds; the damage done the house is supposed to be as much."
For the DAILY PATRIOTIC REGISTER. To the MAYOR and CORPORATION of the City of NEW-YORK.
GENTLEMEN,
I HOPE my present address to you will not be deemed impertinent, as it proceeds from the purest motives of regard to a respectable majority of my fellow citizens, who are in danger of being aggrieved through the want of such necessary information being handed to you as an individual now conceives it his duty to give on a subject of a very interesting nature.
A number of citizens of no real property, have taken it into their heads to have the streets new paved at the expence of the proprietors of houses, and by inveigling and threats having induced some of the inhabitants of several streets to subscribe petitions to you, they expect, under the sanction of your authority, to bear down all opposition, and to carry their extravagant schemes into effect whether right or wrong.
That some of the streets in this city want paving is a matter out of dispute, and the sooner they are paved according to the fashionable mode the better, but they intend to take up whole streets that have been paved at a great expence since the war, and others that are not in the least defective.
It is well known, that most of the proprietors of houses in this city, are wings, that they were refugees in the country, during the war, that they came back very poor, and that many were obliged to borrow money to repair their houses, which cost them as much as it would now require to build new ones, that many have already been at a very great charge in the article of paving, that their rents have been considerably reduced, and a prospect of their being much lower. That persons thus circumstanced should be hurried into unnecessary expences, to gratify the caprice of a parcel of strangers, who have more money than they know what to do with, is, in my opinion, a very great hardship; and as it cannot be required of them without manifest injustice, it cannot be submitted to without complaint.
Besides the expence attending this wild scheme at this unseasonable juncture, remarkable for the great scarcity of money, by raising the streets along the houses you will oblige us to raise all the adjoining lots, or be nearly drowned by every shower of rain.
The inhabitants of this city are not yet sufficiently recovered from the distresses incident to the late war, to be able so soon to beautify it in the manner they would wish. This must be the work of time. There are few cities whose streets are more decent than ours at the present time, or better calculated to carry off the filth. Would it not be best to suffer the streets to remain as they are for three or four years longer, when they will want a general repair? which, if the inhabitants were apprized of, they would be prepared for, and cheerfully submit to have it executed with as much regularity and propriety as possible.
You well know how many worthy families have been impoverished by the war, you will not surely add to their calamities by unnecessary expences. Besides, is not every inhabitant equally interested in the streets? Do they not equally enjoy all the advantages of an even pavement? Why then should the proprietors of houses be the only persons taxed to procure the conveniences, especially as it is evident, that not one house in fifty will rent for a shilling more in consequence of them.
These hints I humbly offer to your consideration, and freely hope, that you will not hereafter comply with any of the petitions abovementioned, unless subscribed by at least three fourths of the proprietors of houses in the street required to be new paved. C I V I S.
In Congress, June 24, 1788.

POET'S CORNER.
STANZAS by the late Alexander Thistlethwaite, Esq. Knight of the Shire for Hants in England, occasioned by his meeting a man loaded with sacks, and an oak bough in his hat, on the 29th of May (Charles II.d's Restoration).
POOR fellow! what hast thou to do With King or Restoration? 'Twill make no difference to you Whoever rules the Nation. Still must thy neck support the load, Still earn thy bread with toil; Still must thou pace the self-same road, And great ones share the spoil. The Afs may carry brooms or men, Just at his master's will; But let him change, and change again, His lot's a burthen still. Still Ministers will tyrannize, And Courtiers still be knaves, Walpoles on Walpoles shall arise, And keep their grandsons slaves. Still governments have been the same, The same shall ever be; E'en Kings are nothing but a name, And so is Liberty.

THIS second volume of our Ame- rican Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and sa- 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 recommend 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 disinter- ested 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.

Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY.
THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. some dying roots and me- chanical plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and nu- merous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more mode- rate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated— (but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, teas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hither- to been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be grown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits suc- ceed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in dif- ferent parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and exten- sive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkies, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
