Just Published, And to be sold by R. Hodge, T. Allen, S. Cambell, J. Reid, and S. Loudon, booksellers, and by the printer hereof, AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made. It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia, RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles-Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia, proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison's, George Inn, Philadelphia, at three o'clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles-Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Powles-Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of baggage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is performed in half the time.

New Stage Line.
THE equi negoti of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raraway, Woodbridge, New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Burlington, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-Street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.

An act for regulating the trade between the subjects of his majesty's colonies and plantations in North America, and in the West India Islands, and the countries belonging to the United States of America; and between his majesty's said subjects, and the foreign islands in the West Indies.
WHEREAS the regulations made by his majesty's several orders in council, for carrying on the commerce between his majesty's subjects in North America, and in the West Indies, and the inhabitants in the territories belonging to the United States of America, in pursuance of the powers vested in his majesty for that purpose, by several acts of parliament, have by experience been found to be beneficial; and whereas it is now proper, that the said regulations should be established and made permanent: be it therefore enacted by the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That no goods or commodities whatever shall be imported or brought from any of the territories belonging to the said United States of America, into any of his majesty's West India Islands (in which description the Bahama Islands, and the Bermuda, or Somers Islands, are included) under penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel, in which the same shall be so imported or brought together, with all her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle and apparel, except tobacco, pitch, tar, turpentine, hemp, flax, masts, yards, bowsprits, staves, heading boards, timber, shingles, and lumber of any sort; horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and live stock of any sort; bread, biscuit, flour, beans, peas, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain of any sort; such commodities respectively being the growth or production of any of the territories of the said United States of America.
II. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That none of the goods or commodities herein-before excepted, enumerated, and described, shall be imported or brought into any of the said islands from the territories of the said United States, under the like penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be so imported, together with all her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle and apparel, except by British subjects, and in British built ships, owned by his majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law.
III. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall be lawful to export from any of the said West India Islands, to any port or place within the territories belonging to the said United States, any goods or commodities whatsoever, which are not now by law prohibited to be exported, from the said islands, to any foreign country or place in Europe; and also sugar, molasses, coffee, cocoa nuts, ginger, and pimento: and that all cocoa nuts or ginger, that shall be so exported, shall be subject and liable to the same duties, to which the same are now severally subject and liable, if exported to any British colony or plantation in America; and that the said duties shall be raised, levied, collected, paid, recovered, and applied, in the same manner as the duties on cocoa nuts or ginger, exported to any British colony or plantation in
America, are severally raised, levied, collected, paid, recovered, and applied: provided always, That no sugar, molasses, coffee, cocoa nuts, ginger or pimento, nor any other articles or commodities whatsoever (except salt, from the islands called Turk's Islands, being part of the Bahama Islands) shall be so exported, except by British subjects, and in British built ships owned by his majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law, under the like penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be so exported, together with her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle, and apparel.
IV. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in every case where, on exportation of any goods or commodities to any British colony or plantation in America, a bond is now or may be hereafter required by law for the due landing of such goods or commodities in such colony or plantation, and a certificate is required to discharge such bond, a similar bond shall be required on exportation of such goods or commodities to the territories of the United States, for the due landing the same in the said territories; and such bond shall and may be discharged upon a certificate under the hand and seal of the British consul or vice-consul, provided any such consul or vice-consul, shall be resident at the port or place where such goods shall be landed; or in case there shall not be any such consul or vice-consul so resident, then under the hand and seal of any officer or officers who are or may be appointed by the said United States, or any of them, for the purpose of granting such certificate; and if it shall happen that there shall not be any officer so appointed, then, in such case, such bond shall and may be discharged upon a certificate under the hand and seal of any magistrate of the said United States, or any of them, certifying that there is no officer at the port or place where such goods shall be landed, and that oath hath been made before such magistrate by the master, or other person having the charge or command of such ship or vessel, that the goods for which such certificate is required, where duly landed by him at such port or place within the territories belonging to the said United States.
V. And whereas it is expedient to give due encouragement to the making of salt in the said islands called Turk's Islands; be it therefore further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that it shall and may be lawful for any ship or vessel belonging to the inhabitants of the said United States of America coming in ballast, and not otherwise, to enter the ports of the said islands called Turk's Islands, for the purpose of being their laden with salt and for no other purpose whatever; under and subject to the provisions, regulations, and restrictions herein after mentioned; any thing in this act, or any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.

VIII. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the full and true amount of the tonnage duty, so ascertained as aforesaid, shall be paid into the hands of the collector of his majesty's customs in the said islands respectively, at the port or place wherein he shall be appointed to reside in any of the said islands, before any salt shall be loaded or laid on board of such ship or vessel; and such duty shall be under the management of the commissioners of his majesty's customs, and be raised, levied, collected, paid, and recovered in such and the like manner, and by such and the like rules, ways, means and methods respectively, and under such penalties and forfeitures, as any other duties now payable to his majesty on goods imported into any of the said islands, plantations, colonies or territories belonging to or under the dominion of his majesty in America or the West Indies, are or may be raised, levied, collected, paid, or recovered, by any act or acts of parliament now in force, as fully and effectually to all intents and purposes, as if the several clauses, powers, directions, penalties, and forfeitures relating thereto, were particularly repeated and again enacted in the body of this present act; and such duty shall, under such management, be subject to the payment of the salaries of the officers, and other incidental charges of the port, and the residue to be paid to the receiver general of the customs in England for the time being, to be paid by him into the receipt of his majesty's exchequer, under the head of consolidated customs.
IX. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no goods or commodities whatsoever, shall be exported from the said islands, called Turk's Islands, to any part of his majesty's dominions in America or the West Indies, or shall be loaden or laid on board of any ship or vessel in the said islands, called Turk's Islands, for that purpose, except salt; and that no goods or commodities whatsoever shall be exported from the said islands, called Turk's Islands, to Great Britain or Ireland, or shall be loaden or laid on board any ship or vessel in the said islands for that purpose, except salt, and also except such goods and commodities as may now, or may hereafter be by law imported into this kingdom from all other countries whatsoever free of all duties, under

WE are informed that a strange discovery was made one day last week, near this town! A strange discovery indeed! A LADY in Man's breeches, and in public too; was ever the like heard of? but for Ladies to attempt wearing the breeches in private is nothing uncommon, and I am convinced they are very often successful in these attempts.
It is however observable, that the gentleman who made this wonderful discovery, has only a right to wear breeches when abroad, which perhaps is one reason why he stays so long from his family. If his wife has any regard for his reputation, she ought to clap that badge of honor on his head which distinguishes a buck from an ass.
BOSTON, May 28.
On Monday last several corps of the Middlesex militia paraded on Waltham plains, for the purpose of acquiring the knowledge of real action. At one o'clock the line was formed in an open field, from right to left as follows: 1. troop of horse commanded by Capt. Fuller: the Weston Light Infantry, Capt. Bigelow: the Watertown Artillery, Major Kent: and the Newton militia. The whole under Major Kent. At 3 o'clock, the horse and infantry passed the bridge which they were afterwards to attack; and a detachment from the militia marched down and took possession to defend it: the horse and infantry, after a short skirmish in the woods, came on to the attack; the horse keeping the road, flanked by the infantry. When this body approached the bridge the centinels fired, and communicated the alarm; the detachment immediately engaged, and were supported by a heavy fire from the artillery from a hill adjoining, but being charged by the horse and infantry, and overpowered by numbers, were obliged to retreat to the main body. The assailants pursued to a field where the line was first formed; the action then became general, and concluded, after a well fought battle, by the horse and infantry drawing off, after which the line was formed as at first. The whole of this transaction afforded complete satisfaction to a large number of spectators, who testified to the good order and martial appearance of the several corps; who were all in elegant uniforms.
New-York, June 6.
ON Wednesday arrived the ship Coulters of Galvest , Reed, from New Orleans, out 30 days, in distress—And Yesterday—the sloop Recovery , Lankin, Bermuda, out 8 days.
Accounts from WINCHESTER (Virginia) of May 21, say: the late disaster of the capture of three boats, by the savages, on the Ohio, has, in some measure, damped the spirit of emigrating to Kentucky. A correspondent says, he conversed with several families lately who intended moving there, but had laid aside all thought of it, not being made acquainted with the above intelligence,
MR. GREENLEAF, DO oblige your readers with an account of the anti-federal Ticket for the city and county of New-York.—Surely you cannot be partial to counties, as well as to parties. You will oblige a reader too by informing the public, through the channel of your Patriotic Register , that the members of convention for Richmond county are known to be federal.
Thursday Morning.
The public will doubtless thank you, most impartial, and superlatively sagacious Mr. Q. for the above communication; and, as you appear to be divested of partiality, being, at the same time, an immutable FEDERALIST, you shall be gratified to-morrow, by the insertion of the ANTI-FEDERAL TICKET, ALL IN CAPITALS.
By the UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS assembled, May 8, 1788.
ON a report of the board of treasury, to whom was referred a motion, of Mr. Carrington.
Resolved, That Congress proceed to the election of two commissioners for settling the accounts of the five great departments, to continue in office one year.
Ordered, That the commissioners of accounts for the quarter-masters, commissary's, hospital, marine and cloathing departments, with the appropriation of the board of treasury, commence suits in behalf of the United States, against all persons in any of the said departments, who stand chargeable with public monies, computed from the present date; and that this order be published in the several states for the period above mentioned.
Resolved, That the said commissioners be directed to continue their unremitted attention to the final adjustment of all accounts which have arisen in the said departments, and to the recovery of all sums for which suits may be commenced; and that at the termination of their commission, they deposit with the register of the treasury all the books and papers of their respective offices, together with a general abstract of the sums due from individuals, in order that immediate measures may be adopted for the recovery of the same.

The Miscellaneous Works
OF
PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems.
THIS second volume of an American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious streams.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of
Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
To those who are acquainted with
the merits of this work, little need be said to
recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every
pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind
with an awful reverence and love of the Great and
incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all;
with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to
our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detesta-
tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it
claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at
owning the selves Christians, and at paying a hum-
ble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has
obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed
the Milton of Germany, and is considered as
having completed what that favorite son of the
British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of
the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Re-
gained, though far from being a figure of merit,
is universally allowed to fall much below this work,
and is acknowledged to be deficient in that un-
bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and
variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous
efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and
important plan, and includes the sufferings, death,
and resurrection of Christ.

The following lines were addressed by Mr. Pope to the Duchess of Queensberry; we insert them with their answer, not being, we apprehend, in many hands.
DID Celia's person with her sense agree, What mortal could behold her and be free; But nature has, in pity to mankind, Enrich'd the image, but defac'd the mind.
Answer to Mr. Pope by the Duchess. HAD Pope a person equal to his mind, How fatal would it be to woman kind; But nature, who does all things well ordain, Deform'd the body, but enrich'd the brain.

A Few MAPS,
Of the interior parts of North-America, including the lands intended for the NEW STATES, some of which are selling, and others already disposed of by order of Congress.
ORDERS are just received, by the printer hereof, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it, with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, comprehending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Sioto, Cheroke, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The climate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pit and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY. THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. Some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and numerous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more moderate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated—(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, peas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkies, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
