PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.
A correspondent wishes the public of Pennsylvania to compare the generous, manly conduct of the majority of Massachusetts, with the pitiful, low indecency of the hated minority of Pennsylvania. Even tho' at first inimical to the Constitution, when convinced, or even out-voted, they could eat the bread of peace, and drink the glass of friendship with their friends in toto—and they could even declare with transport, they were beaten—they were out-voted—but at their return to those who honored them with their choice, they would recommend peace and harmony, union and submission. But when the incendiaries of our own State even refused the hand of friendship, the signature of consent, and the social feast, which bind man and man together, they not only added neglect to their malicious refusal, but strove to spread disunion, and to raise rebellion amongst their constituents.
To you we cling as to a band of brothers, We thank you for your generous consent, Respect you as the saviors of your country,
And pray the Head of all confederation, The author of the sun, the moon, the stars, And all which feel his forcible command, In one firm, fast-bound, mass of general union, —to bless you.
New-York, Feb. 28.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Delight , in 26 days from Curacoa.
There is said to be now living in Paris, in a low degree, a woman of high rank.—Her name is Cecilia; she calls herself the daughter of Achmet III. Emperor of the Turks, and says she was born in the year 1710 of the Christian era. Her life has been published at Paris, and though it has the air of a romance, it is said to be genuine. The publisher says, she lives in the Rue de la Harpe , at the College of Bayeux, where she may be seen every day. She is described as a woman respectable for her years, her good sense, her fortitude, her piety, and her charities, notwithstanding the smallness of her fortune. If all this be true, and people of credit vouch for it, one cannot be too much astonished at the caprices of fortune, on seeing the daughter of one of the greatest Sovereigns of the earth (who himself died in banishment after having been driven from the Throne) far from her native country, under an humble roof, and not having always had, as she herself says, even the bread of the poor to eat.
It is no small honor to the Church of France, that the first step taken in the course of more than 100 years, to restore the Protestants of that kingdom to the rights of citizens, is by the advice of a Churchman. This measure, often thought of by Lay Ministers, but never proposed, was reserved for the liberal and enlightened Administration of the Archbishop of Thoulouse. To that Prelate belongs the singular honor of rescuing his Church from the charge so often urged against her by Protestant writers, that she was intolerant by principle, animated with unextinguishable rage against Heretics, and too bigoted to tolerate them even from policy. This charge is now done away by the Archbishop of Thoulouse, in the edict which he has advised the King to deliver to the Parliament of Paris, to be enrolled among the statutes of the kingdom; and in the words which he put into his Majesty's mouth upon that occasion. When the King addressed his Parliament on that subject, he said, "I never will suffer the least encroachment upon the holy religion in which I have had the happiness to have been born; but that same religion commands me not to leave a great body of my subjects deprived of their civil rights." Here is a lesson from a Catholic Prelate and a Catholic King, to those Sovereigns in whose dominions millions of Catholic subjects groan under the rigor of penal and disqualifying laws.
The edict in favor of the Protestants of France has not yet been registered by the Parliament of Paris, and therefore has not as yet the force of law; but this arises not so much from any opposition to the edict, as from the circumstance of the disputes between the Parliament and the King, on the score of the exile of the Duke of Orleans, and the imprisonment of two of the Judges. The day after the edict was presented, not a Peer was to be seen in the Assembly; for the King, foreseeing that warm debates would take place on the subject of the Duke's exile, and of the Judges, sent private orders to all the Peers, not to appear in their places in the House. The Parliament, finding that near one third of their Members were absent, did not deem it proper, that a matter of so much importance as the repeal of the penal laws against Dissenters, should be agitated, and therefore adjourned the consideration of it for some days. The numbers present on that occasion, were 104, but there were absent 49 others,
mostly of the first quality, who had a right to vote; the Members present did not think it decent therefore to proceed to any determination, in the absence of their brethren; and this, and not any opposition to the measure, was the cause of the adjournment.
With respect to the mode and degree of toleration there has been a difference of opinion even among those who agree in the principle. It is admitted on all sides that all laws which disqualify the Protestants from purchasing landed property in France should be repealed; that the persons professing the Protestant religion should be allowed to build or to hire, and un molestedly frequent places of worship according to their own faith; and that their marriages should be admitted to be legal and valid. But here the difference begins; who are to be deemed Protestants? In England all sects that dissent from Popery call themselves Protestants! but even the most tolerant in France are unwilling to give so great a latitude, lest if they did, they should thereby open a door to fanatics and enthusiasts, without system, without any fixed creed, and with tenets as changeable as their own fickle and wavering fancy, and consequently dangerous to the tranquility and security of the State. They will, therefore, that the toleration may be confined to Protestants, making profession of the doctrines of Luther or Calvin, or of the Church of England.
The other point on which there is a difference of opinion is, whether the Protestants shall be admissible to offices of trust in corporate towns, and in the State. The edict goes the full length of making them so; but there are some who say that this is more an indulgence in matters of conscience, and goes a great deal beyond the idea that all nations have annexed to the word toleration. However, it is not to be doubted but all parties will agree in placing the Protestants in a comfortable and easy situation, both as to their consciences, and the enjoyment of their property.
Fanaticism is the growth of all ages and all places; of this the city of Berne, in Switzerland, not long since afforded a very tragical example. We relate it on the authority of an old correspondent.
A woman, whose son was named Isaac, and whose husband Abraham, conceived the preposterous idea, that for the expiation of her sins, there existed an indispensable obligation upon her to sacrifice her son. This sacrifice she actually performed in her bedchamber upon her son, a boy of two years old, in the presence of her husband, who she persuaded that she was performing a good and meritorious action. They were both apprehended and imprisoned, but, excepting the circumstance of their religious fanaticism, they did not either of them appear at all disordered in their intellects.
A duel in joke, had, a short time since, in Dublin, like to have turned out a duel in earnest. Two gentlemen, over a bottle, having a quarrel about a Dulcinea, agreed to determine it by pistols at her lodgings; however, in their way there they had a lucid interval, and determined it was foolish to fight about a woman. They went to her lodgings, and from the operation of another bottle, gave Madam a hint of the nature of the intended visit. She caught instant fire, and told them they were a couple of poltroons if they did not fight for her. Having brought pistols with them, they whispered, and agreed to fire powder only. They charged; but Miss suspecting their design, by a quick manœuvre, while they were removing the tables and chairs, slipped a bodkin into one pistol, and a pocket book pair of scissars into the other. The heroes manfully faced each other, and fired, but the scissars having unfortunately smote one of them in the cheek, made a dilaceration, that required the immediate attendance of a surgeon, and of which this mock duellist will certainly carry the mark to his grave.

On motion, the House went into a Committee on the Bill for appointing Commissioners for holding treaties with the Indians within this State:
Mr. De Witt in the Chair. His Excellency the Governor, and Ezra L'Hommiedieu, Wm. Floyd, John Lawrence, Egbert Benson, Richard Varick, and Samuel Jones, were appointed Commissioners.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same; when it was ordered to be engrossed.

A Petition from John Livingston, Caleb Benton, and their associates, offering on certain conditions, a surrender of the lease they have obtained from the Indians, was read, and committed to Gen. Clinton, Mr. Verplank, Mr. Benson, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Tompkins. [The Senate also appointed a Committee on this Petition.]
On motion, the said petition was ordered to be entered on the Journal of the House.
On motion of Mr. Sands, the House went into a Committee on the Bill for granting a bounty on hemp:
Mr. Hedges in the chair. The Committee in going through the Bill, agreed that it should remain in force till June 1, 1792. And having otherwise amended the Bill, rose and reported the same; when the Bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.

Mr. Doughty in the Chair. The Bill, and the Petition and papers were
read, by which it was suggested that Charles Moore had lost two Banker's Certificates by fire.
Mr. Jones moved that the Bill be rejected; he contended that it would be improper for the State, in any instance whatever, to make good to individuals such losses. This motion was opposed by Mr. Brooks, who was of opinion, that whenever the State could be indemnified from a double payment, as in the present instance, that it would be justice to give a new Certificate. After some debate the division was called for.
For rejecting the Bill: Messrs. Jones, Carman, Cornwall, Dorgan, J. Smith, Baker, Gilbert, Strang, Speaker, Van Orden, Frey, Arent, Powers, Benson, Schoonmaker, Hedges, Osborn, Low, Verplank, Tompkins, Havens, N. Smith, Clark, Lockwood.

Mr. CHILDS,
As the preservation of life, and restoring health, have been at all times justly deemed of the utmost importance to mankind, it is with infinite surprize and concern that I observe, among the inhabitants of this city, a disposition to interrupt the Students of Physic and Surgery in their pursuits of knowledge. The endeavors of gentlemen, who, from pure and disinterested motives, have devoted themselves to the exercise of a laborious and disagreeable profession, merit our warmest thanks; and should meet with every possible encouragement. Impressed with these sentiments, I humbly beg leave to offer the following Plan to the Public:
I propose that Funerals should be prohibited by law, as useless and expensive; and that the Dead should be immediately submitted at discretion to the Surgeons . And as example is more effectual than argument, in rooting out the prejudices of the vulgar and ignorant, I could with that the Gentlemen of the Faculty (besides continuing to dissect each other) would farther lead the way, by dissecting the bodies of their nearest relations and most intimate friends; by which means the custom would soon become general, and Anatomists would acquire such knowledge of the mechanism of the human frame, that they would be able to take a diseased body to pieces, repair and put it together again, with the same ease and safety that the most expert Watch-maker cleans and repairs a watch.
I propose that a premium should be given every season, to the Surgeon who should cut up most bodies of a determinate size, in a given time; for though the Professors of the old School commonly pored several days over a single carcase, for the purpose of instructing their pupils in the minutiae of Anatomy, we are, in this enlightened age and country, convinced that it is as unnecessary as tedious; and that frequent handling the knife, and expeditiously cutting up a great number of bodies, are the only means of acquiring a general knowledge of Anatomy, and skill in Surgery.
As this country is too healthy to admit of much acquaintance with the more acute and violent diseases, I would advise the annual importation of the infection of the Plague, from the Levant, and Yellow-Fever, from the West-Indies. This would afford the Faculty an opportunity of exercising their talents, and making some excellent observations on those diseases.
The effect of many valuable medicines being not yet fully ascertained, as they are generally administered to the sick only, where a symptom of the disease may be mistaken for an effect of the medicine; I propose that the Rich and Indolent (who have nothing else to do) should be compelled by law to undergo a course of medicine, once a year, for the good of their country. This would, besides, be attended with much private advantage to themselves; as the many bad consequences of intemperance (such as indigestion, &c.) would be obviated, and the Physician become thoroughly acquainted with their constitutions.
To check an inordinate appetite for car-nage, which might probably arise among the young Surgeons, I would punish, with the utmost severity, all those, who (even in times of extreme health, and consequently dearth of carcases) should wilfully kill any person with a view to dissection; except those pronounced incurable by the Faculty; in such cases it should be always permitted, in order to confirm the prognostic of the learned Physician, to the great honor and emolument of the profession.
By these means, I am fully persuaded, much improvement would be attained; and we should no longer have reason to repine at the superiority enjoyed by Philadelphia (or indeed any other school) in the cultivation of this most exquisite science. PHILO-SMILION. New-York, 27th Feb. 1788.
Mr. CHILDS,
THE Blacks in this city, finding that the corps of the Blacks, buried in the common grounds, were not suffered to remain in the grave, but scandalously abused, agreed to appropriate a private yard for that purpose, situate in Gold-street, in the possession of Mr. Scipio Gray. In this place several bodies had been interred; when, not long since, a number of young men came to the house of Mr. Gray about midnight, ordered him, at the peril of his life, to remain within doors, then went into his yard, and took the corpse of a child out of the grave, and attempted that of an aged person. Being asked—if they were not ashamed of their conduct?—one of them answered, that he would think it no crime to drag his grand-father and grand-mother out of their graves, or words to that purpose. The hero at attacking dead bodies, Mr. Abduccio , who flourishes away in your paper of Saturday last, is judged to be the person. But, no doubt, he and his companions are now fully satisfied, from the advertisement in the same paper, that even the pursuit of useful knowledge, by unlawful means, cannot be justified.
You will, therefore, by means of your paper, be pleased to warn him, and his rash, imprudent and inconsiderate companions, that they may not alone suffer an abduction of their wealth, but perhaps their lives may be the forfeit of their temerity, should they dare to persist in their robberies, especially at unlawful hours of night.
