Respecting Burns's Poems.
THE fame of this author is spreading rapidly, and the merit of his works is acknowledged by all who have had an opportunity of seeing them. The demand for these poems was so great, that the whole of the first edition (only published last May) were sold in a few weeks, and the second edition is already printed in London. Price six shillings, sterling, in boards.
The following criticism is extracted from the Lounger , a recent and much esteemed periodical publication:—
"I know not if I shall be accused of partiality, when I introduce to notice a poet of our own country, with whose writings I have lately become acquainted; but if I am not greatly deceived, I think I may safely pronounce him a genius of no ordinary rank. The person to whom I allude is ROBERT BURNS, an Ayrshire Ploughman, whose poems were some time ago published in a country town in the west of Scotland, with no other ambition, it would seem, than to circulate among the inhabitants of the country where he was born, to obtain a little fame from those who had heard of his talents. I hope I shall not be thought to assume too much, if I endeavor to place him in a higher point of view, to call for a verdict of his country on the merit of his works, and to claim for him those honors which their excellence appears to deserve.
"His poem entitled, ' The Vision ,' discovers a high tone of feeling, a power and energy of expression, particularly and strongly characteristic of the mind and voice of a poet. Of strains like the above poem, solemn and sublime, with that rapture and inspired melancholy in which the poet lifts his eye 'above this visible diurnal sphere,' the poems entitled ' the Despondency ,' ' the Lament ,' ' Winter ,' ' A Dirge ,' and the ' Invocation to Ruin ,' afford no less striking examples. Of the tender and the moral, specimens equally advantageous might be drawn from the elegiac verses, entitled, ' Man was made to mourn ,' from ' The Cotter's Saturday Night ,' the stanzas ' To a Mouse ,' or those ' To a Mountain Daisy .'—The power of genius is not less admirable in tracing the manners, than in painting the passions, or in drawing the scenery of nature. Whoever will read his lighter and more humorous poems, his ' Dialogue of the Dogs ,' his ' Dedication to G— H—, Esq. ,' his ' Epistle to a young Friend ,' and ' To W. S—n ,' will perceive with what uncommon penetration and sagacity this Heaven-taught ploughman, from his humble and unlettered station, has looked upon men and manners.
"Burns possesses the spirit as well as the fancy of a Poet. That honest pride and independence of soul, which are sometimes the muse's only dowry, break forth on every occasion in his works."

FOREIGN ADVICES.
PETERSBURGH, May 8,
The Empress is at present engaged in a project of a very mighty and grand nature. It is to form three great canals. The first is designed to unite the Caspian and white seas together, by means of a junction of the south and north rivers called Kiltma.
The second canal is to unite the Baltic and Caspian seas together, by means of the rivers Wyrepa and Hofcha, which communicate with the lake of Onega and the White lake.
The third object is to unite the Baltic and Black seas together by a double canal in White Russia, which will open a communication between Cherson, Peterburgh and Riga. This double canal, if executed, will make one of the most useful and memorable enterprises in the reign of the Empress.
L O N D O N, May 13.
To the honor of the Lord Chancellor be it spoken, and against his Honor no man can speak; when, by his interest, a recently elected member was brought into the House of Commons, he said, 'My Lord, I hope you understand me as an independent man.' The answer—laconic, severe, yet comprehensive—'Sir, I thought you had known me better.'
The following remarks appear in a pamphlet called 'Mes dernieres Penfees,' written by the late King of Prussia: 'To fear the clergy is like being afraid of flies when autumn is passed.' 'It is very rare indeed to find a clergyman whose revenues are equal to the expence of supporting a regiment.'

Extract of a letter from Oldenburg, June 1.
"His Danish Majesty, our sovereign, has ordered all the military posts in this quarter to be augmented and the garrison sufficiently reinforced; it appearing more than probable, that ere long they will come to blows. Four regiments are ordered into Jutland, to line the frontiers in that part of the King's dominions. In fine, whenever the troubles in Holland break out into open war, our government neither can nor will be idle spectators, as the closest union at this time exists between the courts of Copenhagen, Berlin and London."
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, May 28.
"We just now learn, by the arrival of a felucca from the Barbary coast, that the plague rages with uncommon violence at Algiers, and in the district of Bacea; in consequence of which that port is deserted, except by a few ships, which some families have made lazarettoes of, and reside in them as a place of greater security, during the tremendous visitation. Even the Algerine men of war are under such apprehensions of the danger, that they remain at sea, or go to sea at the ports of some of their neighbours."
June 23.
Extract of a letter from Paris, June 18.
"The Dutch Ambassador has daily conferences with the King's ministers, and yesterday evening had a private audience of his Majesty at his palace, which was not over till very late. The affairs of the seven united provinces grow daily more interesting. Mons. Rayneval is talked of as likely to set off again for the Hague to assist at a negotiation which is likely to be agreed to, he being constituted the King's Ambassador Plenipotentiary on the grand point of mediation, which we hope may be set about before any fresh troubles break out."
June 25.
"The insolence of the Algerines has arisen to so great a pitch, that the Dey or Sovereign of that petty State, makes no scruple of treating the representatives of the crowned heads of Europe, with the most supercilious contempt and indignity. This behaviour was manifested in a late application concerning a treaty between that Barbarian and his Neapolitan Majesty, whose Ambassador, having only demanded a strict compliance with the terms stipulated between the two powers, was treated with the grossest insults, and told in the plainest language that they would fulfil their engagements no farther than corresponded with their own interests. What a shame! that the Europeans should suffer that paltry, insignificant state to levy indiscriminate contributions on their commerce! and this too with a pitiful navy, consisting of 7 or 8 ships, the largest not carrying more than 40 guns!"
"The Royal Society was lately presented with a very extraordinary curiosity. It was a preservation in spirits, of five children, produced at one birth, by the wife of a poor man in this metropolis. Dr. Gerhow, of Oxford, was the gentleman who had bottled up so very remarkable a deviation of nature."
"Yesterday morning at two o'clock died, at his house, in Great George-street Westminster, Sir Richard Jebb, Physician Extraordinary to his Majesty, and F. R. S. his disorder was a fever, which defeated the skill of his two friends, Drs. Warren and Reynolds."
"July 2. Accounts received from Hamburg say, that a fire has just happened in the North quarter of that city, which has destroyed upwards of 200 houses, with warehouses and other out-buildings to a considerable amount."
"Saturday arrived a mail from New-York, brought over in his Majesty's Packet-boat the Sandwich, Captain Miller, after a fine passage of 20 days."
"The same day arrived a mail from Lisbon, which was brought over in the King George Packet, Capt. Wauchope, after a passage of only nine days to Falmouth."
"By the above Packet dispatches were received from Lisbon, which are dated the 18th; they contain an account of the arrival there of a great many ships, from London, and some from America; and that two large ships, laden with stores, and under Dutch colours, were seen within three leagues of that place, both dismissed."
"July 3. So little confidence is placed in the veracity of the Dutch prints, that the account of the seizing and imprisoning the Stadtholder's Royal consort, is generally discredited; though it is certain, that the public relations of that event are corroborated by private letters from Holland."
"It is said, but upon what authority we know not, that the story of the Princess of Orange having been taken prisoner arose from her having been refused a passage through a town between Amersfoort and Nimeguen, in consequence of her having forgotten to bring a passport; for which her Royal Highness was obliged to return back."
"By a gentleman, who arrived from Amsterdam last week, we are informed, that every thing rela-
tive to mob commotions was perfectly quiet; though he says, at the same time, that the animosity of parties seems so violent and rooted, that however lenient measures may restore the peace of government, nothing but time can establish it amongst individuals."
"July 4. The Ranger, one of the East-India company's ships lately arrived from China, narrowly escaped being seized by the crew on her outward bound passage, and carried to America. The fact was this, the Ranger carrying out 26,000. in dollars, seven of the crew formed a conspiracy to throw every officer overboard, seize the chest of arms, and blow out the brains of such of their fellow seamen as made the least resistance; providentially an eighth person was admitted a participator of the secret, and promised his share of the plunder. Those who threw an officer into the sea, were to have ten dollars for what was termed blood money. The eighth conspirator was induced by computation to betray the business, and Captain Ellison, the Commander, armed himself and his officers, and had all the villains put in irons. They were carried to China in that condition, and are now returned to England. They have lately been examined before David Wilmot, Esq. one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, and they are committed to take their trials."
Extract of a letter from the Hague, June 24.
"For some time past we have remarked more activity than usual in the proceedings of the English Minister. We cannot tell how far these proceedings may influence the course of affairs. However, the present visible result of the fresh efforts of the courts of France and Prussia is, that conferences are again begun between some of the principal members of Guelderland and Holland, to effect, if possible, an accommodation."

BOSTON, August 29.
"It is said, that General Shays' head-quarters, i. e. quarters for his own head, are now at the house of an Episcopal Divine, in Arlington, State of Vermont where his Excellency (assisted by his reverend patron) is busily employed in revising the martial laws of his army, and making some great improvements in retrograde movements, &c. He also intends, assisted as above, to form a system of ethicks, as an appendix to Allen's Oracle of Reason."
"On Saturday last, a son of Mr. Robert Clough, of this town, being at play in a chocolate mill, North-end, by some accident got entangled in the machinery of the works, while the horses were on the go, and was so shockingly mangled in his bowels, &c. that he died at two o'clock, Sunday morning."
PHILADELPHIA, August 31.
"On Saturday last the decorations of Christ-Church steeple were completed, and fixed on without any kind of accident happening to those engaged in the hazardous undertaking."
"It is remarkable, observes a correspondent, that on that day ten years, viz. the 25th of August, 1777, the Crown, placed on the extreme end of the Spire, was almost demolished by lightning. The representation of a Bishop's Mitre, is now substituted in its stead, which is deemed a great addition to the other public ornaments of the city."
New-York, September 7. GENERAL ORDERS.
New-York, Sept. 5, 1787.
"His Excellency the Commander in Chief, with peculiar satisfaction, embraces this opportunity of publicly expressing his approbation, of the good conduct, and military appearance, of the regiment of artillery, commanded by Lieut. Col. Bauman, at their annual review, and inspection, which took place yesterday."
"The perfect uniformity of the arms, dress and other appointments, as well as the excellent composition of this corps, are highly grateful, and do singular honor to the officers and men."
"The company of brigade artillery, the battalion of grenadiers and light infantry, and the battalion formed of companies in rifle dress, or frock companies, are also entitled to great commendation, for their soldierly appearance, the uniformity of their appointments, and their good conduct in the review and evolutions of yesterday."
"His Excellency cannot, however, help expressing his regret, occasioned by two unfortunate accidents which happened in the firings; particularly that, to a worthy citizen, while in the line of his duty; and though he is conscious it did not result from a want of ordinary care, he hopes it may prove an additional inducement to the greatest caution upon future occasions."
NICHOLAS FISH, Adjutant-General.
"In our last, we mentioned the arrangement of the several battalions of uniformed militia troops in this city, on the fourth instant, and other particulars: We are now happy to add, that the soldierly behaviour and appearance of the troops, throughout the day, have met with the approbation of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, which he has been pleased to signify in General Orders of the fifth instant. Their good conduct likewise made evident impression on the minds of the spectators; who appeared particularly delighted with the spirited attack, defence, summons, and regular surrender of a fort. In this attack the ardor of the troops on both sides was so great, that they had almost forgot they were engaged in a mere representation of real action. In short, this affair was so well conducted, that we are at a loss which most applaud, the plan of operations formed by Col. Commandant Bauman, or the alertness and promptitude with which his orders were obeyed."
"Fire-works were exhibited in the evening in front of the Fort; which afforded much pleasure and satisfaction to a large concourse of citizens."
"The evening exhibition was in the following order, viz."
First Class.
1 Signal rocket, 13 marrons, 2 tourbillions, 10 rockets; 2 brilliant fountains with verticle wheels of changeable fire, 1 balloon with serpents; fire tree with a brilliant fountain, yew tree illuminated.
Second Class.
2 Tourbillions, 10 rockets, palm tree with a brilliant fountain; the illuminated yew tree with ditto,
1 balloon with stars, 1 large wheel with brilliant and changeable fire and fountain.
Third Class.
2 Tourbillions, 10 rockets, 13 fountains of China fire, 1 large wheel and fountain.
Fourth Class.
2 Tourbillions, 10 rockets, flaming star illuminated.
Fifth Class.
2 Tourbillions, 10 rockets, an illumination of the fort gate with three Italian candles or fire pumps, 1 balloon with serpents.
Sixth Class.
2 Tourbillions, 1 box with serpents and fountain, 1 ditto with crackers and ditto, 13 rockets.
"It is with sorrow, we mention the following unfortunate accidents which happened on Tuesday last, at the review."
"Mr. John Webber, private in Capt. Griffith's company of artillery, had his arm blown off close by the shoulder, by the field-piece going off unexpectedly, at the time when he was ramming down the cartridge. This unfortunate man died yesterday afternoon, after exhibiting much fortitude under his excruciating pains. He has left an aged father and mother to bemoan the loss of a son."
"An unlucky accident happened also to a negro man belonging to Mr. Bruce, in Front-street. A ramrod was shot out of a musket from the fort, which passed through his arm and body, pinned them together, and was, with the greatest difficulty, extracted. It is said he is likely to recover."
"There have been recent attempts by some villains to set fire to the city; about a week ago at Burling's slip, and the night before last, in Mr. Gouverneur's ally; both fires, though timeously discovered and extinguished, had evident marks of design. The last, in the ally, happened about one o'clock at night. To perpetrate the design, the lamp was taken from the post, and placed at the end of a pile of boards, which were piled against a large wooden store-house; shavings were also lying handy to execute the design; the ends of the boards were in a blaze, and the boarden wall of the house considerably burnt before it was extinguished.

"Noble birth, implies only a peerage in the family; ancestors are by no means necessary for this kind of

Birth; the parent is the midwife of it, and the very first descent is noble. The family arms, however modern, are dignified by the coronet and mantle; but the family livery is sometimes, for very good reasons, laid aside.
Birth, singly, and without an epithet, extends, I cannot possibly say how far, but negatively it stops where useful arts and industry begin. Merchants, tradesmen, yeomen, farmers and ploughmen are not born, or at least in so mean a way as not to deserve that name; and it is perhaps for that reason that their mothers are said to be delivered, rather than brought to bed of them. But Baronets, Knights and Esquires, have the honor of being born.
I must confess that before I got the key to this fashionable language, I was a good deal puzzled myself with the distinction of Birth and no Birth; and having no other guide than my own weak reason, I mistook the matter most grossly. I foolishly imagined that well born, meant born with a sound mind, in a sound body; a healthy strong constitution, joined to a good heart & a good understanding. But I never suspected that it could possibly mean the shrivelled, tasteless fruit of an old genealogical tree.

From the CHRONICLE OF FREEDOM. Seeing in several newspapers the partiality of English writers, respecting the affairs of the Dutch, I send the enclosed for insertion in your impartial paper. I received the letter from a mercantile house in Holland, who never before wrote on political affairs, but his patriotic zeal seems to be roused by the counter manifesto of the real sovereigns of his country, in opposition to the declaration of his Highness the Stadtholder .
THIS is the period when the antient martial Batavians, at this time called Netherlands, have again an opportunity to display to the world their undaunted courage in the cause of liberty; but there is still, however an amazing difference between the famous eighty years war , when they had to oppose Philip the Second , at that time the mightiest monarch of the universe, and the present contest with their own servant the Stadtholder Prince of Orange . The British faction, and some ambitious traitors of the country, who have conspired to enslave the freeborn Netherlands, are assisted by desperadoes among the vulgar, a mere mob, composed as mobs are in London , of the scum of the nation. Those who are acquainted with the true spirit of the Netherlands, and their unshaken fortitude in defending their dear-bought and beloved liberty, at the risk of life and property (the common proverb of the nation) are conscious, that these internal commotions will not take up as many months as the former did years to settle them. This is quite evident from the tenor of the counter manifesto, drawn up by the States in opposition to the declaration of the Stadtholder , who has been deprived of his eminent offices and considerable emoluments by his sovereigns. In that manifesto it is declared, first , a denial of the assertions contained therein. Secondly , a direct declaration, that he himself is the sole cause of the present dissensions, and the enemy of his country. Thirdly , an appeal to all the people of Netherlands, and the several provinces in favor of the measures already taken, which are absolutely necessary for the preservation of liberty. Fourthly , an invitation to every well-wisher to the Seven United Provinces to come forward in the present crisis of affairs, and effectually lend their assistance: And fifthly , a solemn determination to persist, even to blood, in the cause of liberty and against the usurpations of the ungrateful and treacherous servant of the republic, a tyrant guilty of ( crimen lesae Majestatis ) high treason."
