An E L E G Y On Lieutenant DE HART, Volunteer Aide-de-Camp to General Wayne. This young warrior was killed in the attack on the Block-House near Fort Lee, 1781. By Colonel HUMPHREYS, late Aide to General Washington.
WHEN Autumn, all humid and drear, With darkness and storms in his train Announcing the death of the year, Despoil'd of its verdure the plain: When horror congenial prevail'd, Where graves are with fearfulness trod, De Hart by his sister was wail'd, His sister thus sigh'd o'er his sod.
II. "Near Hudson, a fort, on these banks, Its flag of defiance unfurl'd; He led to the storm the first ranks, On them, iron tempests were hurl'd. Transpierc'd was his breast with a ball— His breast a red fountain supply'd, Which, gushing in waves still and small, Distain'd his white bosom and side.
III. "His visage was ghastly in death, His hair, that so lavishly curl'd, I saw, as he lay on the heath, In blood, and with dew-drops empearl'd. How dumb is the tongue, that could speak What'er could engage and delight! How faded the rose on his cheek! Those eyes, how envelop'd in night!
IV. "Those eyes, that illuin'd each soul, All darken'd to us are now grown: In far other orbits they roll, Like stars to new systems when gone. My brother, the pride of the plain, In vain did the graces adorn; His blossom unfolded in vain, To die like the blossom of morn.
V. "Oh! war thou hast wasted our clime, And tortur'd my bosom with sighs: My brother, who fell e'er his prime, For ever is torn from my eyes. To me, how distracting the storm, That blasted the youth in his bloom! Alas! was so finish'd a form, Design'd for so early a tomb?
VI. "How bright were the prospects that shone! Their ruin, 'tis mine to deplore.— Health, beauty and youth were his own, Health, beauty and youth are no more. No blessings of nature and art, Nor music that charm'd in the song, Nor virtues that glow'd in the heart, Dear youth, could thy moments prolong!
VII. "Thrice six times the spring had renew'd Its youth and its charms for the boy; With rapture all nature he view'd, For nature he knew to enjoy. But chiefly his country could charm, He felt—'twas a generous heat— With drums and the trumpeter's alarm, His pulses in consonance beat.
VIII. "Ye heroes, to whom he was dear, Come weep o'er this sorrowful urn, Come ease the full heart with a tear— My hero will never return! He died in the dawn of applause, His country demanded his breath: Go, heroes, defend the same cause, Avenge, with your country, his death."
IX. So sung on the top of the rocks, The virgin in sorrow more fair; In tears her blue eyes, and her locks Of auburn flew loose on the air. I heard, as I pass'd down the stream; The guards of the foe were in view— To enterprize, fir'd by the theme, I bade the sweet mourner adieu.
New-York, Nov. 14.
Last Friday arrived at Philadelphia, the ship Amsterdam Packet, Capt. Collet, in seven weeks from Amsterdam; a gentleman who came passenger in the ship, writes to his friend in this city, that the Prussian army had entered Holland— that they had taken the towns of Naarden, and Weesp— that the patriots had evacuated Utrecht, of which place the Prince Stadtholder had taken possession, and that the citizens of Amsterdam had secured themselves from an attack of the Prussians, by laying the adjacent country under water. This account is to be relied on, as the gentleman who writes the letter was an eye witness to the transaction.
John Hunn, George Gray, sen. William M'Pherson, Enoch Edwards, and Samuel Ashmead, Esquires, are appointed Members of the Convention, for the county of Philadelphia. The following instance of the influence of a good and great man will, we presume, be acceptable to every reader who loves his country, and venerates its darling Hero— In the late Federal Convention, it had been
for a long time debated what should be the ratio of representation, and it was carried by a considerable majority to make it one for every forty thousand inhabitants. In this form the matter was sent to the press; but when the subject came for the last time, under the consideration of the Convention, and was about to be confirmed by an almost unanimous vote, GENERAL WASHINGTON rose, and spoke to the following effect: "Though I am sensible of the impropriety of your chairman's intermingling in your debates, yet I cannot help observing, that the small number which constitutes the representative body, appears to be a defect in your plan. It would better suit my ideas, and, I believe, it will be more grateful to the wishes of the people, if that number was encreased." The question was immediately put, without a debate, upon a motion that the ratio be one for thirty thousand (as it now stands) and it was unanimously carried. Such was the magic force of this Patriot's opinion! and it adds to the lustre of his virtues, that this critical interference (which, we are well assured, was all the share he had in the business of the late Convention) tended to promote the interest and dignity of THE PEOPLE.
A letter from Charleston, South-Carolina, dated Oct. 9, 1787, says, "We are in continual fear every night, from the frequent attempts to lay this city in ashes; not a week passes over without our narrowly escaping the devouring flames."
"A duel was fought here a few days ago; the first fire proved fruitless on both sides; but on the second one, one of the parties received a ball in his forehead, and expired immediately. Another duel has been fought with swords only, and one of the parties run through the body. This is the eighth person who has been killed in duels since I have lived in Carolina."
Further Extracts from the English papers of September 17.
BERLIN, Sept. 1. A terrible fire has reduced to ashes the city of Ruppinn, situate in the March of Brandenburg, about eight or nine leagues from Berlin; there are not above 240 houses standing: more than 600 have been burnt, as well as 3 churches, the town-house, and the building belonging to Prince Ferdinand of Prussia, and the royal magazine, where there was a quantity of cloathing ready to be delivered to the troops, &c. The fire lasted 12 hours. They estimate the loss at many millions.
LONDON, September 8. Yesterday morning three messengers in succession, within about an hour of each other arrived in town from Flanders, with dispatches for the King. They went to no Minister; their orders being to go to the King only. And last night about seven o'clock a messenger arrived from France, with dispatches for the King; but his Majesty being gone to Kew, the messenger went to him.
The language of the banished Parliament of Paris still continues manly and spirited; In a meeting at Troyes the 27th ult. they came to several very spirited resolutions, one of which was, that they will, at the hazard of their lives and fortunes, firmly maintain the rights of their fellow citizens and themselves.
SEPTEMBER 15.
Extract of a letter from Vienna, Sept. 1. "The letters from Constantinople of the 10th August, had prepared us for the important intelligence which arrived in this capital by an extraordinary courier, expedited on the 19th by the Imperial Intercambio. The strange manner in which the Ottoman Ministry had acted towards M. de Bulgakov, the Russian envoy, in the conferences, which he had with them on the 26th and 30th of July, in requiring him to subscribe to the articles given in a preceding letter, disposed the minds of men in this capital to expect some important event. An extraordinary Divan was assembled on the 6th of August, when the majority sided with the Grand Vizir and the Reis Effendi (Secretary of State), who maintained, that it would be most expedient to declare war, without so much as waiting for an answer from Petersburg. This, together with the extraordinary movements remarked in the Seraglio, afforded a strong presumption to people of discernment, that the Porte had made its decision, and that a declaration of war would soon be announced."
"In fact, it was declared at our Court in the morning of the 29th, and was the same day imparted to the Ambassadors of Russia and France, who received letters by the same courier. Whatever may have been the motives that determined the Porte to so vigorous a measure, it cannot be denied that on this occasion the Turks have not been solicitous to save even the appearances of equity, of justice, of good faith, or of decency. Violence has presided at their councils, and governed all their proceedings. They made the most harsh demands of M. de Bulgakov, and required that he should accede to them, without waiting the consent of his Court. They obliged him to
send off an express to Petersburg, to solicit a speedy answer from the Empress; and scarcely had this courier time to get beyond the frontiers of Turkey, before they suddenly arrest the Minister, send him to the Seven Towers, and make a declaration of war."
"It should be remarked, that at the treaty of Kaynardgy, the Porte engaged, by a specific article, not to offer in future, such violence to the Russian Minister, in case of a rupture between the two empires; which article they have now broken, with a violent disregard of justice, which seems characteristic of their religion."
"This important information has made a great impression upon our Court. On the day of its arrival, his Majesty went in the afternoon to his first Minister, with whom he convened the Vice Chancellor, and one of the Secretaries of State. Soon after the Marquis de Noailles, Ambassador from France, had a long conference with the Prince of Kaunitz, after which he made the necessary dispositions to expedite a courier to his own court. He set off the 30th, a few hours before two Imperial messengers were dispatched, one to Petersburg, and the other to Paris."
Notwithstanding the above intelligence relating to the rupture between the Porte and Russia, no authentic advices of any such event having taken place have been received here, though it is generally believed to be true.
There have been no dispatches received from Sir Robert Marray Keith, the British minister at Constantinople, since the 4th of August.
GLASGOW, Sept. 4.
It is with great concern I sit down to give you an account of a desperate affray which happened here this forenoon. For some time past the operative weavers have been in very bad humor respecting the reduction of their wages upon some kinds of work. This forenoon a number of them assembled and cut several webs out of the looms of those persons who agreed to work at the reduced prices. The Magistrates met, and sent the town officers to seize the perpetrators, but finding themselves too weak, they returned. The Magistrates then went along with them, and came up with the operative weavers (who had several of the webs they had cut out in their hands), about the East end of Gallowgate. The Magistrates remonstrated with the weavers, who, in place of listening to their arguments, pelted them with stones, and one of them struck the Lord Provost a violent blow on the arm; some others were wounded with stones. It was then found necessary to call for the aid of the military, who conducted the Magistrates back to the Council Chamber, where they deliberated upon what was to be done. The military were ordered to draw up at the Cross with fixed bayonets, and their guns loaded with ball. The Magistrates then came out, and caused the riot act to be read to an immense multitude, who were now assembled, and gave suitable advice to the populace, warning them of their danger, and desiring them to disperse, but in vain. The soldiers were then ordered to the Gallowgate, where the principal body of the weavers were. On approaching them the military endeavored to line the streets and lanes, when a scuffle ensued, upon which the soldiers were ordered to fire, which they did, and killed four or five persons, and wounded several. After this, a number were taken prisoners and lodged in gaol. The military still remain under arms, and express have been sent to Linlithgow and Hamilton, for a reinforcement of troops.
An express is sent to Edinburgh, for some dragoons to be sent, and orders are despatched by his Excellency General Mackay, for detachments of those stationed at Irvine, Ayr, Beith, and other places, to repair immediately to Glasgow.
September 5. Owing to the vigilance and attention of the Magistrates and Sheriff, no farther disturbance has taken place, though the rioters appear as yet by no means pacified.
On Monday evening the Magistrates ordered a number from the respective incorporations to attend during the night, to preserve the peace, which was not interrupted till yesterday, when some tumults and disturbances having arisen in the adjacent villages of Caltoun and Gorbals, by some persons cutting out and burning webs taken in by operatives of a peaceable disposition, the Magistrates and Sheriff, accompanied by the 29th regiment, again repaired to the Caltoun; but the rioters having dispersed before they arrived, nothing further could be done, than publicly warning all persons of the bad consequences of the practices of that and the former day. From which and the great attention still observed, it is thought that peace and tranquillity will be maintained. It is to be hoped, that a proper understanding between the manufacturers and operatives will soon take place.
There are various accounts respecting the number that have suffered on this occasion; the most general one is, that three
persons were killed, three mortally wounded, and several slightly.
Early on Tuesday morning a detachment of the 39th regiment arrived from Beith, and more troops are hourly expected.
On Monday night the mob demolished most of the windows of a large cotton manufactory at the head of John's-street.
The Magistrates and Sheriff yesterday issued a proclamation, wherein, after narrating the circumstances of the riot, and the fatal consequences arising from it, they add, that, although they deeply regret the disagreeable necessity to which they were reduced, and are exceedingly sorry for the unfortunate individuals who have suffered upon the occasion; yet, as they are informed, that the operative weavers are still continuing the before-mentioned lawless and unwarrantable practices, the Magistrates and Sheriff think it their duty, to give this public intimation, that they are determined to continue their utmost exertions to suppress these daring combinations, by every legal means within their power, whatever the consequences may be to the unfortunate individuals who may suffer by their exertions. All persons therefore within the city and suburbs are hereby strictly prohibited and discharged from the continuation of these daring combinations and practices, and from gathering together in crowds upon the streets, particularly in the night time; certifying to all persons who transgress, after the publication of this proclamation, that they will be punished with the utmost rigor of the law. And parents and masters are hereby strictly required to keep their children, servants and apprentices within their quarters, in the evenings and in the night time, as they shall answer at their highest peril.
September 6. I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that all is now quiet, and good order restored. Six persons who were active in the late disturbances, and a petty writer who acted as their Secretary, are committed to gaol. The eight persons who were killed, and died of their wounds, were buried this day, and not the smallest disturbance; every thing respecting the interment was carried on with the greatest decency. Several reinforcements of troops are arrived from different quarters, and the town is at present full of soldiers.
On SUNDAY next the 31st inst. a CHARITY SERMON will be preached, and a collection made in the forenoon, at St. George's Chapel, for the benefit of the CHARITY SCHOOL, in this city. And on SUNDAY, the 23th, another will be preached at St. Paul's Chapel, for the same purpose. An ANTHEM adapted to the occasion, will be sung by the Scholars.
The School at present, consists of eighty-six Scholars, viz. fifty-six Boys and Thirty Girls. The Children are instructed in the principles of the Christian Religion and in Psalmody; they constantly attend Divine Service at Church on week days, as well as on Sundays, and the greatest attention is paid to their Morals.
The Boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and merchants accounts; the Girls are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and needle-work. They are all annually clothed, supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. The School is regularly visited the 1st Monday in every month, and the Children carefully examined by a Committee of the Corporation of Trinity Church. When any of the Scholars are of a proper age for dismissal, and duly qualified, they are sent to suitable trades or services, and others taken into their places.
This excellent Institution is earnestly recommended to the patronage of the humane and benevolent. Orphans, and the Children of indigent persons are hereby snatched from ignorance and vice, preserved from the influence of bad examples, and are qualified to be useful members of society. The support of this truly benevolent Society, is derived from voluntary Donations, and Collections at those Sermons, which are annually preached for the purpose. These circumstances, 'tis hoped, will interest every generous and feeling heart in its behalf, and stimulate the benevolence of its friends to contribute for its support.
From Michaelmas, 1786, to Michaelmas 1787, fourteen Boys, and nine Girls have been regularly discharged. Three Boys for misbehaviour, have been expelled the School, and two deserted. But others being taken in their places, the School constantly kept full.
N. B. Should the weather prove unfavorable, the SERMON will be postponed until the Sunday following.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the fag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun or short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland. N.B. If it should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. 6t New-York, Nov. 3.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixt with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts; the diffe- rence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- between refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye-pans, skil- lets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, flaves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for fu- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close flaves for work-shops, Franklin flaves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath flave-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, law-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron screws for tilling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, lash-weighs, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c. N.B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Aice's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 13. 6w
