Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in London, dated July 17, 1787, to his correspondent in Richmond, Virginia.
"The additional duty on British ships, &c. laid by the last General Assembly of Virginia, is, in my opinion, a wise measure; but would be much more so, if it was general throughout the United States. It has raised the value of American ships here, and they carry out most of the goods this season. It will also probably have the effect of inducing this haughty nation to condescend to far as to negotiate a treaty of commerce with us."
Extract of a letter from Hispaniola, September 25.
"Every article of our tropical produce here is very high, nor even excepting molasses, for which the demand from your continent is really immense, particularly from the two governments of Virginia and Connecticut. The intendant of French Hispaniola, Mr. Marbois, resides at Port-au-Prince, and, contrary to the expectation of many who have arrived hither from the United States, seems, upon several late occasions, rather inclined to look upon the Americans as strangers."
Extract of a letter from Easton, Pennsylvania, October 25.
"We have had a number of publications against the new Government sent to this county by George Bryan, none of which have had any effect upon our people. His Centinels and Old Whigs, serve only to light the pipes of our honest German farmers, who now see how much they have been misled by his honor, and who are now unanimously in favor of the new Constitution. We shall send a good delegation of Federalists to the Convention."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Peterborough, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated October 20, 1787.
"Tho' it is expected some opposition will be made to the constitution recommended by the late Convention, yet it is the prevailing opinion, that a large majority will be in favor of adopting it. Meetings are every where going forward to recommend it to the Legislature, who are now sitting, to take every step dependent on them to forward this business. All the disinterested in our community that I have met with, seem happy in the prospect of some more efficient government taking place; and I think there can be no doubt but its happy effects will be felt throughout this state more particularly."

THE FEDERALIST. No. IV.
To the People of the State of New-York.
MY last paper assigned several reasons why the safety of the people would be best secured by Union against the danger it may be exposed to by just causes of war given to other nations; and those reasons show that such causes would not only be more rarely given, but would also be more easily accommodated by a national Government, than either by the State governments, or the proposed little Confederacies.
But the safety of the people of America against dangers from foreign force, depends not only on their forbearing to give just causes of war to other nations, but also on their placing and continuing themselves in such a situation as not to invite hostility or insult; for it need not be observed, that there are pretended as well as just causes of war.
It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting any thing by it; nay, that absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for purposes and objects merely personal; such as, a thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families, or partisans. These and a variety of motives, which affect only the mind of the Sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice, or the voice and interests of his people. But independent of these inducements to war, which are more prevalent in absolute monarchies, but which will deserve our attention, there are others which affect nations as often as Kings; and some of them will, on examination, be found to grow out of our relative situation and circumstances.
With France and with Britain we are rivals in the fisheries, and can supply their markets cheaper than they can themselves, notwithstanding any efforts to prevent it by bounties on their own, or duties on foreign fish.
With them and most other European nations, we are rivals in navigation and the carrying trade; and we shall deceive ourselves, if we suppose that any of them will rejoice to see it flourish: for as our carrying trade cannot encrease, without in some degree diminishing theirs, it is more their interest and will be more their policy, to restrain, than to promote it.
In the trade to China and India, we interfere with more than one nation, inasmuch as it enables us to partake in advantages which they had in a manner monopoly.
listed, and as we thereby supply ourselves with commodities which we used to purchase from them.
The extension of our own commerce in our own vessels, cannot give pleasure to any nations who possess territories on or near this Continent, because the cheapness and excellence of our productions, added to the circumstance of vicinity, and the enterprize and address of our merchants and navigators, will give us a greater share in the advantages which those territories afford, than consists with the wishes or policy of their respective Sovereigns.
Spain thinks it convenient to shut the Mississippi against us on the one side, and Britain excludes us from the St. Laurence on the other; nor will either of them permit the other waters, which are between them and us, to become the means of mutual intercourse and traffic.
From these and such like considerations, which might if consistent with prudence, be more amplified and detailed, it is easy to see that jealousies and uneasinesses may gradually slide into the minds and cabinets of other nations; and that we are not to expect they should regard our advancement in union, in power and consequence by land and sea, with an eye of indifference and composure.
The People of America are aware that inducements to war, may arise out of these circumstances, as well as from others not so obvious at present; and that whenever such inducements may find fit time and opportunity for operation, pretences to color and justify them will not be wanting. Wisely therefore do they consider Union and a good national Government as necessary to put and keep them in such a situation as instead of inviting war, will tend to repress and discourage it. That situation consists in the best possible state of defence, and necessarily depends on the Government, the arms and the resources of the country.
As the safety of the whole is the interest of the whole, and cannot be provided for without Government, either one or more or many, let us enquire whether one good Government is not, relative to the object in question, more competent than any other given number whatever.
One Government can collect and avail itself of the talents and experience of the ablest men, in whatever part of the Union they may be found. It can move on uniform principles of policy. It can harmonize, assimilate, and protect the several parts and members, and extend the benefit of its foresight and precautions to each. In the formation of treaties it will regard the interest of the whole, and the particular interests of the parts as connected with that of the whole. It can apply the resources and power of the whole to the defence of any particular part, and that more easily and expeditiously than State Governments, or separate confederacies can possibly do, for want of concert and unity of system. It can place the militia under one plan of discipline, and by putting their officers in a proper line of subordination to the Chief Magistrate, will as it were consolidate them into one corps, and thereby render them more efficient than if divided into thirteen or into three or four distinct independent bodies.
What would the militia of Britain be, if the English militia obeyed the Government of England, if the Scotch militia obeyed the Government of Scotland, and if the Welch militia obeyed the Government of Wales! Suppose an invasion--would those three Governments (if they agreed at all) be able with all their respective forces, to operate against the enemy so effectually as the single Government of Great-Britain would?
We have heard much of the fleets of Britain, and the time may come, if we are wise, when the fleets of America may engage attention. But if one national Government had not so regulated the navigation of Britain as to make it a nursery for seamen--if one national Government had not called forth all the national means and materials for forming fleets, their prowess and their thunder would never have been celebrated. Let England have its navigation and fleet--Let Scotland have its navigation and fleet--Let Wales have its navigation and fleet--Let Ireland have its navigation and fleet--Let those four of the constituent parts of the British empire be under four independent Governments, and it is easy to perceive how soon they would each dwindle into comparative insignificance.
Apply these facts to our own case--Leave America divided into thirteen, or, if you please, into three or four independent Governments; what armies could they raise and pay, what fleets could they ever hope to have? If one was attacked, would the other fly to its succour, and spend their blood and money in its defence? Would there be no danger of their being flattered into neutrality by specious promises, or seduced by a too great fondness for peace to decline hazarding their tranquillity and present safety for the sake of neighbours, of whom perhaps they have been jealous, and whose importance they are content to see diminished? Altho' such conduct would not
be wise, it would nevertheless be natural. The history of the States of Greece, and of other countries, abound with such instances, and it is not improbable that what has so often happened, would, under similar circumstances, happen again.
But admit that they might be willing to help the invaded State or Confederacy; how and when, and in what proportion, shall aids of men and money be afforded? Who shall command the allied armies, and from which of them shall he receive his orders? Who shall settle the terms of peace; and, in case of disputes, what umpire shall decide between them, and compel acquiescence? Various difficulties and inconveniences would be inseparable from such a situation; whereas one Government watching over the general and common interests, and combining and directing the powers and resources of the whole, would be free from all these embarrassments, and conduce far more to the safety of the people.
But whatever may be our situation, whether firmly united under one national Government, or split into a number of confederacies, certain it is, that foreign nations will know and view it exactly as it is; and they will act towards us accordingly. If they see that our national Government is efficient and well administered--our trade prudently regulated--our militia properly organized and disciplined--our resources and finances discreetly managed--our credit re-established--our people free, contented and united, they will be much more disposed to cultivate our friendship, than provoke our resentment. If on the other hand they find us either destitute of an effectual Government, (each State doing right or wrong as to its rulers may seem convenient), or split into three or four independent and probably discordant republics or confederacies, one inclining to Britain, another to France, and a third to Spain, and perhaps plaid off against each other by the three, what a poor pitiful figure will America make in their eyes! How liable would she be become not only to their contempt, but to their outrage; and how soon would dear bought experience proclaim, that when a people or family so divide, it never fails to be against themselves.

SHIPNEWS.
The Caraftacus, Sewall from Charleston, South-Carolina, bound for France, laden with rice, chiefly, and some indigo, was captured within 30 leagues of her destination, by a stout bark, mounting 22 guns, under Spanish colors, which proved an Algerine corsair, commanded and mostly manned by Renegadoes.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENUS 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 Manufacture 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 melting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween 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, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cakes, cast bars for su- 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 stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboucs or 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, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlash, cast iron screws for tilling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, cash-weights, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, 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. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENUS, No. 48, Great Dock-Street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w
