NEW-YORK, July 9.
A letter from Poughkeepsie, dated on Saturday last, gives the following account of the celebration of the 4th of July at that place.
The morning was ushered in by a discharge of cannon; at 12 o'clock 13 guns were fired by a detachment of artillery under the command of Capt. Livingston; and the citizens assembled to congratulate each other on the DAY, under an elegant and fanciful arbor that Capt. Livingston had prepared for the purpose. The Members of Convention, officers of militia and citizens, then went to the quarters of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, where they were politely and elegantly entertained.
At the proper hour both the Federal and Anti-federal parties went to dinner, the former at Poole's and the latter at Hendrickson's Tavern; and in order the more socially to spend the day, a deputation from each party, dined with the other, and it is pleasing to remark, that amidst all the joy and bustle of the day, there was no notice taken of the present politics of the country—each party acting with delicacy and politeness.
After dinner, the following Toasts were drank by both parties, under a discharge of 13 cannon.
1. The United States. 2. Congress. 3. The Allies of America. 4. The Governor of the State of New-York. 5. General Washington. 6. The Convention, wisdom and unanimity in their councils. 7. The memory of the departed Patriots of America. 8. Science, agriculture, commerce and manufactures. 9. Public faith and private credit. 10. A Federal Government, uniting energy with liberty. 11. Happiness at home and respectability abroad. 12. The American Fair. 13. The Day.
A letter from Poughkeepsie of Saturday last, informs us, "That the Convention were proceeding in the business with some expedition—That on Friday and Saturday, many amendments were proposed, of which the Federalists took little notice—That they had got to the 2d section of the 3d art. relative to the judiciary.—And that Mr. Jones was very industrious in pointing out the defects of that part of the system.—The letter-writer also adds, that since the news from Virginia, notwithstanding the proposition of amendments, that there appears to be a disposition in the opposition, rather friendly to the Constitution;—and that he is not without his hopes of seeing it adopted."
Yesterday arrived the sloop Mary, Ralby, from St. John's, New-Brunswick, in eight days; and sloop Dolphin, Carpenter, in twenty days from Demarara.
The very ingenious, the amiable, the indefatigable and the philanthropic Dr. LETTSON, in the Memoirs of the Medical Society of London , just published, which by the by, affords, for the Medical Student, a fund of knowledge; knowledge the best and most useful, because founded upon experiment.
Dr. Lettson, in addition to what he has communicated for the benefit of society has been the primary means of publishing this valuable and useful work. In one part the Doctor, speaking of a failing to which some men are too unhappily addicted, says, "There is something in spirituous liquors injurious to the frame, that too much attention cannot be paid in discouraging the use of them."
"Many of the unhappy victims I have attended, ascribe their sufferings to the unguarded advice of some medical practitioner, who has, under the idea that wine turning four, on the stomach, permitted a little drop of Brandy and water to be substituted; seldom indeed, a day passes without introducing me to the sick bed of some deluded object of misery; and it is, from the most decided conviction of the injury, that I would guard every person from beginning with even a little drop of this fascinating poison, which once admitted, is seldom, if ever, afterwards overcome. When ever I hear the patient plead for some substitute for beer or wine, under the supposition of their turning four, my fears are alarmed, and my endeavors excited, to pluck the unscrupulous patient from the brink of destruction: the plea is never made, till the exhilarating influence of spirit has been experienced; and not a moment should be lost, in warning such objects of their danger. Some, who have avoided brandy, have been induced to take rum, from a vulgar opinion, that is more oily and balsamic, the argument is erroneous, for what balsamic quantities can empyreumatic oil contain? Others, who condemn both brandy and rum make no objection to gin because they think it more dieuretic; but so far from it, that all the drossies among the lower classes of the people originate, or at least, are confirmed by the use of this spirit: they are all poisons, and are nearly alike deleterious."
"When the effects of spirits on the constitution have not greatly contaminated it beyond the frequent recurrence of dyspepsia or gastrodynia : after interdicting spirits altogether, the patient should be allowed to fix upon one species of nutriment; and whatever it is, should be confined to it alone, and that in the smallest quantities possible, and regular stated distances, that preceding portions may be properly digested before any addition be allowed; when the stomach has then acquired more tone either more new or an encrease of the former nutriment, may be added."
"But in some cases when the habit of drams has been continued, the total sudden omission of them has sunk the person into irrepressible debility. Here this pernicious custom must be left off gradually. A man who usually drank twelve drams in a day being convinced of his approaching misery, took the resolution to wean himself from this poison; he always drank out of one glass; into this he daily dropped a drop of sealing wax; by this means he had twelve drops of spirits every day less, till at length, his glass being filled with wax, his habit was cured."
CONVENTION OF VIRGINIA.
Friday, the 27th of June, 1788.
Mr. Wythe reported, from the Committee appointed, such amendments to the proposed Constitution of Government for the United States, as were by them deemed necessary to be recommended to the consideration of the Congress which shall first assemble under the said Constitution, to be acted upon according to the mode prescribed in the 5th article thereof; and he read the same in his place, and afterwards delivered them in at the clerk's table, where the same were again read, and are as followeth:
That there be a Declaration or Bill of Rights asserting and securing from encroachment the essential and unalienable rights of the people in some such manner as the following:
1st. That there are certain natural rights of which men when they form a social compact cannot deprive or divest their posterity, among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.
2d. That all power is naturally vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that, magistrates therefore are their trustees, and agents, and at all times amenable to them.
3d. That Government ought to be instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people; and that the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression, is absurd, flavish, and destructive to the good and happiness of mankind.
4th. That no man or set of men are entitled to exclusive or separate public emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator or judge, or any other public office to be hereditary.
5th. That the legislative, executive and judiciary powers of government should be separate and distinct, and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression by seeing and participating the public burthens, they should at fixed periods be reduced to a private station, return into the mass of the people, and the vacancies be supplied by certain and regular elections; in which all or any part of the former members to be eligible or ineligible, as the rules of the Constitution of Government, and the laws shall direct.
6th. That elections of Representatives in the legislature ought to be free and frequent, and all men having sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment to the community, ought to have the right of suffrage: and no aid, charge, tax or fee can be set, rated, or levied upon the people without their own consent, or that of their representatives, so elected, nor can they be bound by any law, to which they have not in like manner assented for the public good.
7th. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws by any authority without the consent of the representatives of the people in the legislature, is injurious to their rights, and ought not to be exercised.
8th. That in all capital and criminal prosecutions, a man hath a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence and be allowed counsel in his favor, and to a fair and speedy trial by an impartial jury of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty (except in the government of the land and naval forces) nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself.
9th. That no freeman ought to be taken, imprisoned, or deprived of his freehold, liberties, privileges or franchises, or outlawed or exiled, or in any manner destroyed or deprived of his life, liberty, or property but by the law of the land.
10th. That every freeman restrained of his liberty, is entitled to a remedy to enquire into the lawfulness thereof, and to remove the same, if unlawful, and that such remedy ought not to be denied nor delayed.
11th. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the ancient trial by jury is one of the greatest securities to the rights of the people, and ought to remain sacred and inviolable.
12th. That every freeman ought to find a certain remedy by recourse to the laws for all injuries and wrongs he may receive in his person, property, or character. He ought to obtain right and justice freely without sale, completely and without denial, promptly and without delay, and that all establishments, or regulations contravening these rights, are oppressive and unjust.
13th. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
14th. That every freeman has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches, and seizures of his person, his papers, and property; all warrants therefore to search suspected places, or seize any freeman, his papers or property, without information upon oath (or affirmation of a person religiously scrupulous of taking an oath) of legal and sufficient cause, are grievous and oppressive, and all general warrants to search suspected places, or to apprehend any suspected person without specially naming or describing the place or person, are dangerous and ought not to be granted.
15th. That the people have a right peaceably to assemble together to consult for the common good, or to instruct their representatives; and that every freeman has a right to petition or apply to the Legislature for redress of grievances.
16th. That the people have a right to freedom of speech, and of writing and publishing their sentiments; that the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and ought not to be violated.
17th. That the people have a right to keep and bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the body of the people trained to arms, is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free state. That standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, and therefore ought to be avoided, as far as the circumstances and protection of the community will admit; and that in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to and governed by the civil power.
18th. That no soldier in time of peace ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, and in time of war in such manner only as the laws direct.
19th. That any person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms ought to be exempted upon payment of an equivalent to employ another to bear arms in his stead.
20th. That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence, and therefore all men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion according to the dictates of conscience, and that no particular religious sect or society ought to be favored or established by law in preference to others.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
1st. That each state in the union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction and right, which is not by this constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.

3d. When Congress shall lay direct taxes or excises, they shall immediately inform the executive power of each state, of the quota of such state according to the census herein directed, which is proposed to be thereby raised; and if the legislature of any state shall pass a law which shall be effectual for raising such quota at the time required by Congress, the taxes and excises laid by Congress, shall not be collected in such state.

8th. That no navigation law or law regulating commerce shall be passed without the consent of two thirds of the members present, in both houses.

11th. That each state respectively shall have the power to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining its own militia, whenever Congress shall omit or neglect to provide for the same.

12th. That the exclusive power of legislation given to Congress over the Federal Town and its adjacent district, and other places, purchased or to be purchased by Congress of any of the states, shall extend only to such regulations as respect the police and good government thereof.
13th. That no person shall be capable of being President of the United States for more than eight years in any term of sixteen years.
14th. That the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such courts of Admiralty as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish in any of the different states: the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States; to all cases affecting ambassadors, other foreign ministers and consuls; to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to which the United States shall be a party; to controversies between two or more states, and between parties claiming lands under the grants of different states. In all cases affecting ambassadors, other foreign ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction; in all other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, as to matters of law only: except in cases of equity, and of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, in which the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as to law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make: but the judicial power of the United States shall extend to no case where the cause of action shall have originated before the ratification of this Constitution; except in disputes between states about their territory; disputes between parties claiming lands under the grants of different states, and suits for debts due to the United States.
15th. That in criminal prosecutions, no man shall be restrained in the exercise of the usual and accustomed right of challenging or excepting to the jury.
16th. That Congress shall not alter, modify, or interfere in the times, places, or manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, or either of them, except when the Legislature of any state shall neglect, refuse, or be disabled by invasion or rebellion to prescribe the same.
17th. That those clauses which declare that Congress shall not exercise certain powers, be not interpreted in any manner whatsoever to extend the powers of Congress; but that they be construed either as making exceptions to the specified powers where this shall be the case or otherwise, as inserted merely for greater caution.
18th. That the laws ascertaining the compensation of Senators and representatives for their services, be postponed in their operation, until after the election of representatives immediately succeeding the passing thereof; that excepted, which shall first be passed on the subject.
19th. That some tribunal other than the Senate be provided for trying impeachments of Senators.
20th. That the salary of a judge shall not be encreased or diminished during his continuance in office otherwise than by general regulations of salary, which may take place on a revision of the subject at stated periods of not less than seven years, to commence from the time such salaries shall be first ascertained by Congress.

Extract from the Journal. JOHN BECKLEY, Secretary to the Convention.
MILITARY ANECDOTE.
THE great Duke of Marlborough once met with an instance how an inferior may resent the prevaricating injustice of his superior officer; it was as follows:—A general officer had, by a length of meritorious services, a fair claim to a regiment, and had accordingly the promise of one from the Duke. This promise, however, was very long disregarded; vacancy after vacancy happened; and, on application, the General was still put off. The fact was, that the Duke was fonder enough, though Sarah his Duchess, to sell the regiments as they became vacant; and this general officer had either not the inclination or the means to satisfy the Commander in Chief's rapacity. The
answer that he generally got was, that unfortunately the regiment for which he applied was already given away. He therefore resolved to look out for an occasion on which he might be the earliest tutor. He was not long before he found one.
A Colonel of a regiment died in the night, and he got the information of it from the Colonel's valet early in the morning. He went and knocked up the Duke, acquainted him with the vacancy, and asked him for the appointment. "How unfortunate! (answered the Duke) it is not more than five minutes since I gave away that regiment." "You lie! (replied the officer emphatically) you could not have known that such a thing was in your gift till I informed you." "Oh! my dear friend, (said the Duke, recollecting how his business had laid him open to the veteran's chastisement) you are too warm; what I said was merely to try your temper—the regiment is yours."

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's.
He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed.
2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney.
3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf
