Students of the University, headed by the Vice-Provost, and of the Episcopal Academy, and most of the schools in the city, preceded by their respective Principals, Professors, Masters and Tutors, a small flag borne before them inscribed with these words “ the rising generation. ”
The County Troop of Light Horse, commanded by Major W. Maepherson, brought up the rear of the whole.
Major Fullerton attended the right wing, and Col. Mentges the left wing of the line.
Messrs. Stoneburner, Hiltzheimer and Jonathan Penrose, furnished and superintended the horses for the carriages.
This grand Procession began to move from the place of rendezvous about half past nine (as we before mentioned) and the front arrived at Union Green, in front of Bush hill, about half past twelve. The length of the line was about one mile and a half, the distance marched through about three miles. As the Procession came into Fourth-street, captain David Zeigler and lieut. John Armstrong had drawn up their company of continental troops, and saluted the Procession as it passed, according to military rule.
A very large circular range of tables, covered with canvas awnings, and plentifully spread with a cold collation, had been prepared the day before by the committee of provisions. In the centre of this spacious circle the Grand Edifice was placed, and the ship Rising Sun , at her moorings. The flags of the consuls and other standards were planted round the Edifice.
Mr. Wilson was then complimented by captain Claypoole's corps of light infantry with a Feu de Joye, three rounds by battalion, and three huzzas. As soon as the rear of the line had arrived, James Wilson, Esq; addressed the people from the Federal Edifice in an elegant ORATION:
After the oration the company went to dinner. No spirit or wine of any kind were introduced. American Porter, Beer and Cyder were the only liquors—with these were drank the following Toasts, announced by the trumpet, and answered by a discharge of artillery—a round of ten to each toast, and these were in like manner answered by a discharge from the ship Rising Sun , at her moorings.
T O A S T S. 1. The People of the United States. 2. Honor and immortality to the Members of the late Federal Convention. 3. General Washington. 4. The King of France. 5. The United Netherlands. 6. The foreign Powers in Alliance with the United States. 7. The Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of the United States. 8. The Heroes who have fallen in Defence of our Liberties. 9. May Reason, and not the Sword, hereafter decide all national Disputes. 10. The whole Family of Mankind.
It should not be omitted, that the several trades furnished the devices, mottos, machines and decorations themselves and at the expence of their respective companies—and that by much the greatest part of the work exhibited on that day was completed between Monday morning and the Thursday evening following.
The whole of this vast body was formed and the entertainment of the day conducted with a regularity and decorum far beyond all reasonable expectation. The foot way, the windows and roofs were crowded with spectators exhibiting a most magnificent and irrefistible
index of a heart glowing with urbanity and rational joy. This pleasing idea was much supported by a circumstance which probably never before occurred in such extent—viz. the clergy of almost every denomination united in charity and brotherly love—May they and their flocks so walk thro' life!
It is impossible to be precise in numbers on such an occasion, but averaging several opinions, there were about 5000 in the line of procession, and about 17,000 on Union Green. The green was entirely cleared by 6 o'clock in the evening, and the edifice, ship, and several machines being withdrawn, the citizens soberly retired to their respective homes. The weather was remarkable favorable for the season—cloudy without rain, and a brisk wind from the south during the whole day. At night the ship Rising Sun was handsomely illuminated in honor of this great festival.
Such is the account we have been enabled to give of this memorable exhibition—It is very probable there may be some omissions; if so, the committee can only assure their fellow citizens that no neglect or offence was intended to any individual or company whatever—The shortness of the time, and the complicated nature of the task they have undertaken, must be their apology.
As the system of government (now fully ratified) has been the occasion of much present joy; so may it prove a source of future blessing to our country, and the glory of our Rising Empire!

FREDERICKSBURG, July 3.
On Thursday night last Mr. James Pettigrew, a merchant of this town, being alarmed by a noise about his house snatched up his gun, which was loaded with large shot, and run to the window from whence (altho' so dark as to render it impossible to distinguish one person from another at the distance of a very few feet) he discovered somebody within the inclosure, and having reason to apprehend from the threats of a female slave who had run off from him a few hours before, that mischief was intended by her, and that the person he saw was either the slave or some of her confederates, repeatedly asked who it was, and declared unless he was immediately informed he would fire; the unfortunate object remained silent, which confirming Mr. Pettigrew's fears, he discharged his piece and the person immediately fell, who proved to be the slave that had eloped; the contents of the gun had penetrated immediately below the right breast, and the unfortunate object died a victim to her outrage and obstinacy in less than an hour afterwards. Mr. Pettigrew, early the next morning, delivered himself up to the officer of justice, by whom he was committed to gaol, and on Monday last a court was held for examination, when the outrage intended by the negro was so fully established by the testimony, and the fears of Mr. Pettigrew appeared so well founded, that the court determined the act to come under the description of justifiable homicide , and Mr. Pettigrew was honorably acquitted.
NEW-YORK, July 16.
By a Gentleman who arrived here on Monday last from Poughkeepsie, we are informed, that the Antifederalists had met frequently in the course of the last week, and that in these meetings there was much warm debate—some were for rejecting the Constitution—but the majority, more moderate, insisted on an adoption, with certain conditions; and this at length was agreed on, as the extreme point of concession. The plan was accordingly formed, and brought forward in Convention.
A motion was then made for an informal Committee to be chosen from both parties, in order to organize more completely the amendments, and to fix on some accommodating scheme for an adoption.
A Committee was accordingly appointed, and having met, instead of entering mutually on the business, the Antifederal budget was immediately produced and opened, and a complete plan of adoption was presented as a single proposition, for the assent of the Federalists, attended with a declaration that this was their ultimatum. No room then remained for any general reasonings, but the matter was reduced to a point, and the propositions were only to be assented to or disapproved. Mr. Jay, Judge Hobart and others, strongly opposed the measure; urged most forcibly that the proposition led to a virtual and total rejection of the Constitution; and declared they could not consent with them at all, if they insisted upon that point. Both parties were firm, and the Committee dissolved without coming to any agreement.
On Friday Mr. Jay came forward with a statement from the informal Committee; representing, that no plan of conciliation had been formed, and no measure taken, in consequence of the Antifederalists adhering rigidly to the principle of a conditional adoption, which was inadmissible and absurd. He went into a consideration of the nature and tendency of such an adoption; compared it with the powers delegated to this Convention; and the powers of the future Congress; and inferred, that it would amount in result to a total rejection. He called on the opposition repeatedly to answer his arguments—He was replied to by Mr. Smith and Mr. Lansing, who attempted to prove that the Convention, as the representatives of a sovereign people, had a power to agree to the Constitution, under any restrictions and qualifications which should be thought expedient. They insisted that the Congress would have a right to restrain the exercise of any power given them by the Constitution—that it was in the power of any Legislature to apply a different mode of imposing burthens on different parts of a state, according to circumstances.
The Chancellor, in the course of this debate, assumed a mode of reasoning a little different, but not less impressive than that of his worthy colleague. He appealed to the apprehensions and passions of the Convention—painted in the most glowing colors the unavoidable convulsions of our state—the depreciation of our currency—the great loss arising from the removal of Congress from our capital—and the various disadvantages of being deprived of a voice in the councils of the Union.
On Saturday morning, Mr. Jay opened the business by representing the unfairness of the proceedings in the informal Committee. He complained that when met for mutual discussion, they had been insulted by a complete set of propositions presented in a dictatorial manner for their passive acquiescence. He was soon followed by Mr. Hamilton, who in a most argumentative and impassioned address, demonstrated that the propositions before the Committee, would be a total rejection of the Constitution. He opened with a beautiful exordium, in which he described in a delicate but most affecting manner the various ungenerous attempts to prejudice the minds of the Convention against him. He had been represented as an ambitious man, a man unattached to the interests and insensible to
He called on the world to point out an instance in which he had ever deviated from the line of public or private duty. The pathetic appeal fixed the silent sympathetic gaze of the spectators, and made them all his own.
He then proceeded to refute the fallacious reasonings of opposition—and to describe the nature and tendency of a provisional adoption. He proved, in the first place, from the series of papers on which the authority of the present Convention was founded; that it had no possible decisive power, but to adopt or reject absolutely—that it had indeed a power to recommend, because this was a natural right of every freeman; but it had none to dictate to or embarrass the union by any restrictions or conditions whatever—that the Committee was not a body commissioned to tender stipulations or form a compact, but to dissent from or agree to a plan of government, which could be altered either in its form or exercise only by an authority equal in all respects, to the one which gave it existence. Having made this point clear, he went on to show that the future Congress would have no authority to receive us into the union on such terms—that this conditional adoption included evidently a disagreement to and rejection of a part of the Constitution—that Congress, which would hold all the powers it possessed under the Constitution as a simple plan, must consider such a partial rejection in the light of a total one.
That a declaration by any legislature that such and such constitutional powers should not be exercised was in its own nature a nugatory one: that these provisions, making no part of the Constitution, and when accepted by Congress, having, even if consistent with the Constitution, no other than a legal force, would be subject to immediate repeal; that it was indispensably necessary to good government that the discretion of the legislature should be uncontrollable, except by the Constitution: But by the proposed measure, the discretion of Congress would be limited and controlled by a provision not only foreign from, but totally inconsistent with the Constitution; a provision coming from a part of the union without the consent of the other parts; a provision most propellerously calculated to give law to all the other states. He adduced other arguments to prove that restraining the exercise of a power, or exercising it in a mode different from that pointed out in the form of government, was utterly anti-constitutional, especially when the restraint was only to respect a part of the community.
Mr. Hamilton then urged many forcible reasons to prove that even if it were consistent with the Constitution to accept us on these terms, it was entirely improbable that the other states would submit to it. Their pride, because the very proposal is an insult; and the animosity of some states, embittered as it is by what they deemed a kind of commercial tyranny, and a system of selfish, partial politics, would receive most pungent gratification from a diminution of our fortune and our power. Their interests would be opposed, because the misfortunes of one powerful state commonly contribute to the prosperity of its neighbors.
Mr. Hamilton, after recapitulating his arguments in a concise and cogent manner, entreated the Convention in a pathetic strain to make a solemn pause, and weigh well what they were about to do, before they decided on a subject so infinitely important.—The orator then closed his address, and received from every unprejudiced spectator the murmur of admiration and applause.—Very different was the effect upon his opponents.—They sickened at the splendor of his triumph.—Inspired by jealousy and stung by conscious disgrace, they retired with malice still more embittered, and an obstinacy more confirmed than before.
Even the man who of all others should let the first example of magnanimity, the man from whom our country should expect the most finished proofs of exalted virtue—Even he was incensed, and freely expressed the spleen that corroded his heart.
This man, immediately after the adjournment, made a public declaration to this effect—I see the advocates of the Constitution are determined to force us to a rejection. We have gone great lengths, and have conceded enough—but nothing will satisfy them:—If convulsions and a civil war are the consequence, I will go with my party.
The happy effects resulting from the adoption of the New Constitution, begin already to be felt; returning confidence seems to promise once more to raise the drooping frame of public credit, and to place it on the firm basis of national faith, protected and supported by the united strength of liberty and justice. The efforts made by Congress under the old confederation to comply with their engagements, are convincing proofs of their earnest desire to prevent the evils which uniformly flow from breaches of public contracts; and to their immortal honor evinces their strict adherence to honesty and good faith. A subject of such vast importance will necessarily be amongst the first that engages the attention of the New Congress, and from the great resources our country is possessed of, and the wisdom of our Representatives, we shall have every thing to hope and nothing to fear.

EXTRAORDINARY GRASS.
The subscriber has the great good fortune to announce to the world a most important discovery in the vegetable kingdom.
About the 1st of February, 1786, among a variety of other plants, he collected from the woods and transplanted into his garden a small root of GRASS, then green; which remained there without particular notice until the winter following. He then observed it was not only still green, in an exposed situation, but that it had multiplied exceedingly. This was sufficient to engage his further attention; and, on tasting it, he was pleased beyond expression to find it sweeter than any grass he had ever tried.
He was now determined not to neglect so valuable an acquisition; and accordingly, in the spring and summer, he divided and transplanted of the parent root and seedlings, enough to cover a plat in his garden forty feet square. From this he has since collected seed, which has been sown and is now growing, and which will be transplanted in the spring. The plants on the forty feet plat are already subdivided, and now occupy four acres of ground.
This species of Grass will probably be found to unite the two genera of Cornucopia and Alopecurus ; it having a univalvular corolla, and being without the involucre of the one, and the arista or beard of the other; but agreeing in other respects equally with both. It bears a long vertical panicle, and ripens its seed about the middle of August or beginning of September. It retained its verdure when the Mercury in Fahrenheit's thermometer in the shade rose to 99 1/2 degrees, during
and other vegetables have suffered from the weather, but it has actually flourished and continued unremittingly in a growing state.
It propagates by root and joint as well as by seed—it does not grow more than three feet high, but it forms a thick swarth—it is perfectly tender, and free from spines, down or hair—it is always in a verdant state, and either in the way of pasture or meadow, promises to excel every denomination of gramineous in every climate.
After such an eulogium of its qualities, it will undoubtedly be asked, to what has its long obscurity been owing, and how it happens that it is hitherto so rare?—To these interrogatories, the subscriber is enabled from fact and reason to give satisfactory answers.—In this climate where our winters are short, there is a possibility of cattle surviving the cold season without being fed—and, for this very precarious contingency, we neglect making winter pastures: tho' it is certain that during the months of February, March and April, when cattle might be put in the most thriving condition, they are languishing and pining away at best. So much for our own endeavors.—And in respect to the Grass, its scarcity is owing to its excellence. Cattle when turned out into the woods, deer, rabbits, birds, and all the Ferae Naturae by an instinct in their case preferable to reason, soon discover a superior sweetness in this plant, however long latent to us, and crop it more frequently in the same degree as it exceeds others; whilst plants not nutritive or noxious, are unselected, shoot ahead and keep the better under. This is not only sound argument, but matter of fact.
Every person is entitled to the reward of his own labors. The subscriber, tho' not in necessitous circumstances, thinks he has a just claim on that world he benefits, for his time and application. If he was to part with a small portion of seed, the purchaser might be able to vie with the discoverer in the profits of the sale, and deprive him of his advantages. He therefore proposes, as soon as a subscription for a thousand quarts is completed, to dispose of the seed at the rate of a guinea per quart, and he now invites subscribers accordingly.
A quart of seed is sufficient to sow an acre of ground. It should be sown at the time wheat requires. In the spring it may be transplanted into ten acres, at the distance of nine inches, one plant from another; after which it must be kept clean until frost, and from that time it requires the same attendance as other pastures.
He believes it agrees with most soils; but that whereon he cultivates it is a loam.
For the veracity of the above recital, the subscriber pledges his word of honor.
THOMAS WALTER. Santee, South-Carolina, December 29, 1787. Any person desiring to subscribe for any of the above seed, may apply to the printer.
** The PROCESSION is postponed till TUESDAY, the 22d instant.

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, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the palm 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, with foremen, 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 STEPHEN PATERSON.

Goods may be vented to much advantage for lumber, which, with the flour manufactured at the mill, would furnish suitable cargoes for the West-Indies or other places. For further information apply to JOSEPH BALL, Esq. at Philadelphia, or to CHARLES SMITH, New-York, May 21. 2m.
