Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pitt and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
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 medicinal 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 numerous, 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 moderate 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, peas, 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 hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different 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 extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkeys, 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.

VIENNA, March 12.
A REPORT prevails here, that, in consequence of some important dispatches transmitted to his Imperial Majesty, from his Court, on business that cannot be duly communicated by writing, his return to the capital will be thereby accelerated.
The general topic here is the siege of Belgrade, which, it is the general opinion, must be begun the 20th or 24th of this month. It is not doubted but we shall soon gain possession of that fortress; but it is feared that it will be attended with the loss of many lives, as it is affirmed that the Pacha who commands it has peremptorily averred, "that though by dint of superior force he may storm the fortress, we shall never take it till it is reduced to a heap of ruins." This declaration, from an officer of known valor, renders it probable, that the fortress is undermined, and that sooner than surrender, it will be blown up and reduced to ashes.
Our Croats have given fresh proofs of their bravery since General de Vins entered Turkish Croatia, with the regiment of St. George, the hussars of Grave, a party of Kinsky's dragoons, and two battalions of Bannats. This body advanced in three columns; one party was detached to take post at Nove; another, under the command of General Klimek, advanced as far as Twoswick. These places surrendered without resistance. The principal corps, under the Commander in Chief, marched against Whiaacz, and fell in, a small distance from thence, with a body of Turkish cavalry, which violently attacked the regiment of Kreuz. We made a great discharge of artillery, and by a happy diversion, the hussars of Grave fell on the enemy in the rear. Though the Turks fought desperately, the field was soon covered with their slain. At length they were obliged to yield, and in their precipitate retreat many of them were drowned in the river Una. The major part were taken prisoners; and there was but a small number that reached the fortress.
Our commander, by dexterity of manœuvres, in less than two hours, destroyed all the fortifications of Whiaacz.
We lost in this expedition nine officers of rank, 27 inferior, and 556 privates killed; the number of the wounded amounted to 376.—The Turks lost near 2000, without allowing for those drowned, and 1300 were taken prisoners.
ANCONA, February 28.
They write from Venice, that the Senate has charged his Ambassador at Vienna, to assure his Imperial Majesty, that the Ottoman squadron left Cattaro on the 6th; that on the 9th some Venetian ships which watched them lost sight of them, and that the Republic will, on every occasion, shew the most sincere Friendship for his Majesty, to whom it has always been sincerely attached.
LONDON, March 31.
Extract of a letter from Paris, March 17.
"Those who think the war raised in the North will not reach the South, rely on the precautions taken by Spain, always to keep a respectable fleet ready to put to sea, and on the proposition it made not long ago to the Porte, not to suffer any fleet of her enemy to enter the Mediterranean, if the Grand Signior would on his side protect the trade of Spain from the enterprizes of the Barbary corsairs. This plan the Porte rejected, either fearing, by adopting it, to alienate the affections of the Barbarian regencies, or, what is more probable, it was not in the power of the Divan to perform it; but now the Porte is attacked by two formidable powers, and the Turks are threatened to be driven out of Europe, they may very probably listen to the propositions of Spain, and the Grand Signior, as Caliph, obtain what he pleases from the African Regencies."
"If this convention takes place, Russia will undoubtedly seek assistance, and England may join its fleet to her's to open a passage to the Mediterranean; thus a general war may ensue. But there is a great deal to be said to that; and first it is to be doubted whether Spain may now be in the same disposition as when they wanted to treat with the Porte. Then Spain had not made peace with the Algerines; it was them alone they feared; they do not mind any other of the Barbary powers. It is also doubted whether the Empress, on account of the conduct of the English towards her for these two years, will ask succours of them. Besides, her bonds with the Emperor will always hinder her from applying to the English; thus there is not much fear of England's joining their fleets to those of Russia, and of France being obliged to unite her's to those of Spain."
"From the troubles of Holland we feared a rupture, but every thing is settled in that country."
"The news of the refusal of the commissioners (appointed by the King to examine the business relating to the situation of the Finances) to sign the accounts of the re-
ceipts and expenses, inspires the public with a great dislike for that important work, announced at first with so much praise. It is already reported, that the result of the account of the Archbishop of Sens, states the deficiency for the year 1788 at 185,000,000: a truly dreadful calculation to present to a nation, who wants a more comforting picture set before it to regain its confidence; besides, the idea only of such a situation has caused such an alarm, that every one trembles for the effects of it, if the States-General do not afford some speedy relief. We cannot conceive how the deficiency, which the greatest exaggeration raised (in the assembly of the notables) to 140 millions, which a farther examination lowered to 120, and which, in fine, has since traversed with an uncertain opinion all the degrees of intermediate variations, found rather less than more, can at last amount to so amazing a sum as 185,000,000."
The Treaty of Alliance between England and Holland, is expected by the first messenger, and will make its appearance most probably in to-morrow's Gazette; that Baron de Nagel had declared to the minister on Friday, it had already passed through the forms of the different States, and was ready for the ratification.
The treaty between the United States and Prussia is concluded. That which impeded the treaty between Great-Britain and the States was the very important but very complicated business of the India commerce and settlements. And it is, we understand, at length agreed that a convention shall be signed, agreeing to arrange and finally agree on the India system within six months of the conclusion of the treaty of alliance.
This arrangement was agreed upon in the beginning of this week; and it is believed that the final treaty will be signed before M. St. Priest, the Envoy from France, shall arrive in Holland, and he is expected in the course of a few days.
Thursday several patterns were presented to his Majesty, for the troops who are to be recruited, under the title of Life-Guards, when his Majesty was pleased to fix upon scarlet with blue facings. They are to have six-pence a day, in addition to their present pay.
In a few days the Embassy from Tippoo Saib to the French King is expected at Toulon.—The Ambassador and his suite left the Mauritius about the middle of December last. It is hoped in France, that they will be more fortunate than the Embassy that was sent to Constantinople, which, prosperous and brilliant as its arrival was, is now reduced to less than a fourth part of its number, and of these many are ill, and not likely to recover.
According to letters from Gibraltar of the 2d inst. all the Barbary States are equipping their naval forces with the very utmost expedition, and what gives reason to conclude that hostile intentions against some European powers (supposed the Russians) is the motive for such expedition, is, that the Emperor of Morocco has entered into a grand alliance with the Regencies of Tunis, Algiers, Tripoli, &c. to support each other with naval forces. It is also said at Tangiers, in the Emperor of Morocco's court, that the best understanding at this time prevails between those powers and the august head of the Ottoman Faith at Constantinople; if so, the Russians will have more work cut out for them than they probably expect—for though these Africans have no ships of the line, their natives are very powerful, and may prove a very desirable acquisition to the Ottoman forces. If it were only in the preventing supplies from being sent to the Russian fleet, particularly among the islands of the Archipelago and the Levant.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, dated March 25.
"The troops of Brunswick taken by their High Mightinesses into their service, being expected in a few days in the territory of the Republic, their High Mightinesses have resolved, on the proposition of the Deputies of the Province of Guelderland, to desire his Serene Highness to order that the said troops, and others that may be taken into the pay of the Republic, do, on entering any provinces or cities with the consent of the assembly of the states, take the oath required in the same manner as has been used on former occasions with regard to such auxiliary troops. In consequence of which the commission appointed by his Serene Highness to administer the oath to the said troops of Brunswick, set of last Saturday."
Extract of a letter from Paris, March 24.
"The reforms in the Queen of France's household will produce a saving of 1,206,600 livres (about 50,275l.) No less than 173 places are suppressed."
"The Edict, ordering the demolition or sale of the Royal seats, Vincennes, Blois, La Muette, and Madrid, was registered by Parliament on the 14th inst. and published on Thursday last."
"The Duke of Orleans begged leave of his Majesty to visit Paris on Easter day, and obtained it. He was there all day, and returned to Reinef in the evening. His second son, the Duke of Montpensier, made his first communion on that day."
The following is a concise statement of
the arrangement which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to make for adjusting the claim of rank, between the King's and Company's officers, and settling them on a firm and lasting footing; and, we are happy to add, it has given general satisfaction. Much praise is justly due to the Court of Directors and the Committee, for their steady and vigorous conduct in this arduous business.
"First, That from the day when hostilities ceased at Cuddalore, the officers in his Majesty's and the Company's service should rank indiscriminately from the dates of their commissions."
"Secondly, That if it should happen that two commissions, now or hereafter, should be dated on the same day, the King's officer is to have the precedence."
"Thirdly, That such King's officers as hold commissions, dated prior to the cessation of hostilities at Cuddalore, should command all the Company's officers of the same rank."
"Fourthly, That brevets should be granted by his Majesty's authority to the Company's officers, dated from the cessation of hostilities."
"Fifthly, That in all future promotions, the Company's officers shall receive brevet commissions from his Majesty."
"Sixthly, That no officer possessing brevet local rank in India should remain there, unless he chuses to serve with his actual rank in the King's army."
"Seventhly, That a period of eighteen months should be allowed for the exchange of those officers who now hold local rank in India."
Saturday arrived a mail from New-York, brought to Falmouth by the Speedy packet, in 21 days.
A rumour prevails of a change in the Ministry, by the resignation of the two Secretaries of State, but we have not been able to learn that there is any truth in this report.
By the Calcutta Gazettes, which arrived in the Ravensworth, on Saturday, we have made the following extracts.
CALCUTTA, JULY 26.
Letters from the westward, dated as late as the 6th Regeb, or 24th April, contain intelligence of a new line of conduct on the part of the Mahratta conqueror. His career seems to have met a mortifying check in the firm and resolute resistance of the Rajah of Jynuggur, who, in concert with the Rajah of Jodhpur, has raised a considerable force, and is determined to make no concessions. Sindhea, it is said, has, in consequence, betrayed marks of great pusillanimity, and would willingly consent to the terms of pacification, which he before rejected; but the allies, emboldened by his behaviour, have refused all negotiation, and declare their resolution to meet him in the field. For this purpose the Rajah of Jodhpur is shortly expected at Jynuggur, to consult on the best plan of offensive operations; but these, it is supposed, will be deferred till the setting in of the rains, when the Mahrattas will, in a great measure, lose the use of their cavalry.
The only advices from Dekhun, relate an advantage gained by the commandant of the garrison of Dharwar, over a party of horse belonging to the Paishwa, who were routed and pillaged. No mention is made of a truce.
Extract of a letter from Futtagur, dated May 6.
"The Jynuggur people are making head against Scindia, and the Ragepoot Rajahs are all firmly united against him, and declare they are ready to risk their fate in a pitched battle. Scindia is afraid of a check, which would at once overset his influence & reputation. The Delhi papers mention his retreat, and are full of accounts of his pusillanimity."
Extract of a letter from Masulipatam, May 7.
"Travellers and letters from Hydrabad, report, that in consequence of Tippoo's proximity to that capital (he was one stage beyond Adone) and his frequent letters fraught with insolence and threats to the Nizam, all classes of the inhabitants are in great trepidation. Such is their terror of Tippoo's power, that not a few have left that city, and the common talk of the Bazar is about its falling into his hands. On the suspension of arms between the Mahrattas and Tippoo, the Nizam dispatched Mufheer ul Mulk, his Dewan, to the court of Poona. The subsequent recommencement of hostilities between the above powers, may, perhaps, be chiefly attributed to his negotiations. The Nizam's eldest son, Ali Jaw, who is about thirty years of age, and has hitherto had no share in managing the affairs of the Nizamut, lately made an offer of heading the troops of his father against his haughty enemy; his spirit and attachment were commended, but his offer declined. By the same channel of information, it is given out that the Nizam tendered the command to Ali Beg, elder brother of the late Ibrahim Beg, who respectfully excused himself from accepting that charge. Little certainty about the present motions of the Mahrattas. The rising of the Kishna, in a few weeks, must give a temporary cessation to the belligerent powers."

TUESDAY, April 22, 1788.
THE showers of rain, which fell—we hope not partially, but generally—in this Parish, on Friday and Saturday last, gladdened the heart of our planter, and proved grateful indeed, coming at the most propitious moment, both for this and the next year's crop; the former of which has turn'd out highly productive, and the latter, it is expected, will exceed even the present, which surpasseth in plenty and richness, the harvests reaped for several years back.
The General Assembly of this island, which stood prorogued to this day, is further prorogued to Tuesday the 27th of May.

Early on the morning of the 28th ult. a boat with three seamen belonging to the ship Eliza, Capt. Mercer of Liverpool, now in this harbour, in a very strong breeze, filled and went to windward of the point above fort Frederick. The first intelligence of this accident was from one of the seamen who gained the shore after swimming about a league, and had left his shipmates, one clinging to the mast, and the other to the bowprit. Boats were immediately dispatched from the shipping to their relief, but were fortunately anticipated in their humane design, by his majesty's ship Amphion, Capt. Brown, who took them up and carried them to Lucea the same day.
The Amphion is now cruising between this port and Martha-Brae.
The Drax hall, Burton, is arrived at St. Ann's, from London.

Last Saturday being the anniversary of Lord Rodney's glorious and decisive victory over the French fleet, commanded by Count de Grasse, was celebrated in this town with the usual tokens of joy.
Yesterday evening a splendid ball and supper was given by the subscribers to the Kingston assembly, at the theatre in this town, in honor of the 12th of April, which were graced by a large proportion of the fashion, beauty and respectability of this and the neighbouring parishes.
Arrived, April 19—The Schooner Salt-River, Gleg, from Salt-River; sloop Fly, Butter, Milk-River; sloop Mary, Edmiston, port Morant; and his Majesty's packet-boat Halifax, Mr. John Feriner, master, from Falmouth; she left Falmouth with the first mail in February, on the 15th of that month, and touched at all the windward islands.
The Sheerness and Endymion, forty-four gun ships, converted into transports, are among the number of vessels having troops on board for this island.
Prince William Henry had intimation at Cork, that his return to Europe had given, to a certain great character, very considerable offence. These tidings were confirmed to him by the thunder storm; for though, among the ancients, thunder in a clear sky was propitious—yet, in cloudy weather, it was an omen of Jupiter's displeasure.
The ship Albion, Everett, from Bristol and St. Kitt's, arrived at Morant-Bay on Thursday.
A very unpleasant piece of intelligence was communicated to us yesterday—we do not vouch for the truth of it, and are therefore not liable to a suspicion of any im-

per motive. It is said that disturbances of a very serious nature are prevailing on two or three estates in the parish of St. John's. Our country readers will do well not to slight the information we produce.
BOSTON, May 14.
On Saturday night the town watch detected a person in the act of breaking into a shop in the Main-street, and notwithstanding his being armed, and making a desperate defence, he was taken and is committed to jail.
An instance of public spirit deserving record occurred on Monday last, when the masons at this town gave a day's work, at plaitering, on the new meeting-house, lately built on the south-end, on the spot where the former one, which was destroyed by fire last year, stood; and with activity, which benevolent principles only could excite, finished the plaitering of the whole building, before night.
Arrived here yesterday, the ship Phœnix, Lane, from L'Orient, in 35 days—and ship Heller, Jenkins, from Bristol, in 76 days. (D. Colman's marine-list.)
New-York, May 26.
ON Saturday arrived Schooner Betsy, Dodge, from Richmond, Virginia, in 7 days;—Betsy, Dodge, Betsy-Town; sloop Philadelphia and New-York packet, Albertson, Philadelphia; Nancy, Price, Philadelphia; Schooner Jane, Doulfry, St. Johns, 10 days; And yesterday sloop Fanny, Conkling, Demarara, 21 days; Polly, Robinson, Bermuda, 9 days; French Packet, Aligator, Rougemont, Havre de Grace, 42 days; sloop Robinson, Hoag, Dominico.
It is very laughable, says a correspondent, to consider the use and abuse of the word federal: The anti-republicans, and their tools, have very modestly applied it to themselves, to delude the ignorant (who are too apt to be led away by trifles) and thus add a new proof to the common observation, that the best things may be perverted to the worst purposes: They have the impudence to brand the advocates of liberty anti-federal.—In this, as well as in almost every other respect, they tread in the footsteps of the partizans of the British during the late war, who styled themselves friends of government; and the foes of tyranny, rebels. At the present period, newspapers, clubs, streets, &c. are entitled federal—and the keeper of a livery stable in Boston, has lately advertised in the newspapers, that he has taken a federal stable.
Suppose, says a correspondent, that an enigmatical list of young ladies were to be framed, materials might easily be collected from the beautiful objects of nature, pinks, lillies, roses, tulips; doves, lambs, armies; clouds, the rainbow, and the moon, would furnish letters to compose the names. Old maids might be made out of daffodils, poppies, cats, vinegar and wormwood. The names of fops and coxcombs would spring from butterflies, magpies, feathers, bubbles, and flummery. Even the catharticks of grave lawyers, divines, and physicians, might be described in an enigma: lawyers, by quibbles, demurrers, barratry; divines, by gravity, brimstone and tithe—pigs;—and physicians, by gallipots, catharticks, and tombstones. The courier de l'Europe, of Feb. 18 last, has the following paragraph:—“France has just concluded a treaty of commerce with the United States of America; his Majesty, in subjecting the Bureau du Commerce (Commerce Office) to a new form, has ordered that all treaties relative thereto, shall be communicated to that office. Agreeably to the act of council which creates its new form, the counsellors of the Royal Council of Finances shall have a seat in it; also, a Counsellor of State, a President, an Adjoint, Lieutenant-General de Police, the Intendant of Commerce, two Deputies of the Ferme General, two Deputies of the Regie, and all the Deputies of the commercial towns.”
M. Calonne, who lately fled from the justice of France, and who was charged with peculations to the amount of 20,000,000 livres, we observe by the London papers, is not without being permitted to visit St. James's—However, we cannot be much surprised, since we know that Mr. Arnold found ready admission at that court.
American vessels fitted out in America, are admitted into the English as well as French settlements in the East-Indies.
In the November sessions, at the Old Bailey, in England, a butcher in Oxford-street, 72 year of age, was tried for an assault, with an intent to commit a rape on a girl only 14 years of age, who lodged in the same house.
The girl swore in evidence to the full completion of the fact in the morning, during the absence of her mother, who, on her return, finding the spirits of her daughter unusually agitated, after questioning her on the cause of it, soon discovered what had passed. The mother, with a coolness not very common on such occasions, employed herself about her domestic affairs until the afternoon, and then went to the Rotation-office, to give an account of what had happened. The aged butcher seeing the mother go out again, and imagining (as no notice had been taken of his first essay) that he was perfectly secure,
went up stairs to the girl's apartment, caught her in his arms, threw her on the bed, and a second time perpetrated his amorous purposes. To these facts the girl swore positively; but being asked on her close examination by Mr. Garrow, why she did not scream out for assistance; the butcher, she said, the whole time kept his lips, so close upon her lips, that she could not open her mouth. The butcher is at least six feet high—the girl only four feet and a few inches. This fact, Mr. Garrow contended, was physically impossible, and compared the body of the butcher to a long beam, the centre of which was fixed by a pivot, to the centre of another beam of smaller longitudinal dimensions; and then asked the jury whether it was mathematically possible to bring the extremities of the longest beam to rest or dwell upon the end of the shortest beam.
The jury took this as a proof demonstrative of the impossibility of that being true which the girl had sworn, and acquitted the prisoner.
The following extract of a letter was received by a gentleman in Carlisle (Pennsylvania) from a correspondent of veracity, dated Louisville, Falls of Ohio, March 28, 1788.
“We arrived safe here the 16th after a tedious passage of nine days from Mufkingum, and luckily escaped the Indians; lucky indeed! for since we came down four boats have been taken by them, and all the passengers either killed or taken prisoners! This is a certainty, as there was a boat taken up by the soldiers, in which was papers denoting that it belonged to a Mr. Keifer of Lexington, who was coming down with a cargo of goods and 15 or 16 horses. There were passengers on board, among whom were Mr. Purviance of Baltimore, a Mr. Ridout of Maryland, and a Mr. Ferguson of this town.—It is computed those gentlemen's property amounted to 4000l. Five boats arrived the day before yesterday, and affirm, that three loaded boats, which were some distance in the rear, were fired upon from the savage shore, and that one of them, possessed by three Frenchmen, were drove on shore by the wind, and the other two edging towards it, so that they have inevitably shared the fate of Mr. Purviance and co. It is very surprising those savages should commit such depredations, and they on the eve of holding a treaty; but were they to get all the wealth of the United States, they would and will as long as any of them exists, commit the same cruel actions they have been noted for. Thank Providence we had 15 soldiers on board well armed, which kept the Indians in awe, as they certainly must have seen us.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his relation in Philadelphia.
“I have occasionally called upon your friend, Mr. Samuel Jennings, and viewed his paintings, and copies made from originals by WEST, Stewart, Turnbull, &c. with great pleasure, and I think with you, that he will make a figure in his profession—and as he is now improving himself under the immediate eye of our countryman, the great Mr. WEST, and that in his, WEST's own gallery—I doubt not his returning to America, an accomplished portrait painter, to his own great emolument, and the general satisfaction of his friends.”
THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE. MR. MORRIS'S NIGHT.
A correspondent observes, that he does not recall to have heard any one speak of Mr. Morris's performances, in general, without applause. His fort is the comic, in which character he seldom fails to excite roars of bravo, bravo, bravissimo, encore, bies, bies, &c.—The plays in general, without this character, would be sorrowfully indifferent, instead of richly amusing. The merits of the FOUNDLING, and Farce annexed, are generally known; which, without reference to the patronage of so valuable a member of the company, will doubtless afford a good house. And, says our correspondent, when we add this last inducement to the patrons of merit, it cannot be doubted but that Mr. MORRIS'S SECOND NIGHT (having failed in the first) will produce a crowded house.
WILDAIR, in answer to ALMA-HIDE, in last Thursday's Journal, is received.—Whether the performance of Almahide be genuine or not, has not been ascertained.—If it be the sincere proposal of a lady who doth really possess those amiable qualifications—not only the most inviolable delicacy, but pure esteem and reverence are her due.—Therefore, by the exercise of an invaluable editorial privilege, of defending the fair from proposals destructive of that regard to the deity and the laws, which ought to be held sacred—WILDAIR, containing mal apropos rudeness and indecency, is rejected.
HYMENEAL RIGHTS are honorable—Chastity is a God— “Give not, therefore, to MODESTY the blush.”
REMEDY
Against Apoplexies and Palsies. When any person is struck with either of those disorders, the putting of some salt in their mouth will bring them to their senses. It
has been tried upon a man that dropped down in the street, and seemed quite dead; but in five minutes after the salt was put in his mouth he moved his arm, and was raised up, and by giving him some cordial drink, in half an hour after, the man walked home without any assistance.

POET'S CORNER.
The TRIUMPH of LOVE. WHEN we alone for beauty sigh, And anxious passions prove, Reflection may our pains destroy, Where taste for bids to love. But where the mental charms conspire, And virtue too remain, Reason to quench the generous fire, Applies her aid in vain. My Sally, both so much enjoys, Both so resplendent shines, Whatever succeeds the nuptial ties, I must secure her mines.

Wealthy Israelite near the Minorities had a servant, who, having a relation lately dead, as usual neglected shaving. "Ephraim, why don't you shave?" was the master's in- terrogation. "My relation is dead, sir, and you know Moses commanded, &c." "Mo- ses commanded! Don't tell me about Moses; I say, if he commanded any such thing, he was a slovenly fellow."

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 under- gone 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 il- lustrated, 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 positi- ons laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his ap- peal 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 addi- tional letters, is, to point out what these a- mendments ought to be, and to adduce argu- ments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whe- ther 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 pre- pared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publica- tion is recommended.

S T A G E S,
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 expense 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.

WE, the PRESIDENT and PROFESSORS of COLUMBIA COLLEGE, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do certify, that we have ex- amined a new publication, entitled "The principle of the Latin Grammar explained," by JAMES HARDIE, and that we find it an accurate and judicious compilation, well calculated for the in- struction of youth in the rudiments of the Latin language; and such as may be useful even to those who have made considerable progress therein. We therefore recommend it to all who are intrusted with the care of education, and particularly to the teachers in the different schools of this state.

New-York, Elizabeth Town, and Philadelphia 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.
