PHILADELPHIA, May 1. East-Cala township, Chester County, April 23.
The following melancholy incident of the effect of lightning happened on the 18th inst. The weather being very hot and sultry, in the afternoon, in the evening there appeared a black cloud to the westward, which came over this neighborhood, with uncommon flashes of lightning and severe claps of thunder. Between twelve and one o'clock, the lightning struck the house of William Fisher, in this township; it first entered the chimney, which was torn all to pieces, and in its descent it greatly damaged the upper floors, with the stair-case, from top to bottom, ripped up the lower floor, thence proceeded out at the cellar-door, and tore away a considerable part of the stone wall of the house. The man, his wife and child, about six months old, were in bed in a room where the partition close to it was inivered all to pieces, and the bed thrown some distance therefrom; the man's head was singed and much benumbed, and the woman's arm, on which the child lay, was scorched, but providentially they all received no other hurt; the cradle, in which the child usually slept in the same room, was entirely destroyed. The bed on which two apprentices slept in the upper room, fell to the joists, but they remained unhurt. The house was rendered an entire wreck, not a window but was entirely destroyed, and the glass thrown some rods distant. A scythe, that hung on the wall of the house, was twisted up like a wirtle, and a great part melted; the smell of sulphur was so strong, that they were in danger of being suffocated.
NEW-YORK, May 5.
The Convention of Maryland ratified and signed the new Constitution for the United States on Monday last, the 28th ult.
No amendments were recommended by the Convention, who adjourned on Tuesday, fine die . Extract of a letter from Annapolis, dated April 28.
The Convention of this State on Saturday determined the final question, and ratified the Federal Constitution — yeas 63, nays 11 — and this day at three o'clock it is agreed to sign the same. Mr. Paca, a delegate from Hartford county, was among those who voted for the Constitution, but previously he spoke as follows: "As to the line of conduct which I shall now pursue, I thus publicly declare, that exceptional as this government is, and liable to all these objections (which he, in an eloquent speech, had before enumerated), I hope and trust that its defects may hereafter be corrected; but, under our present circumstances and embarrassments, my inclination leads me to take this government as it is." This declaration did him the highest honor. The two Mr. Chases also declared their intention to submit like good citizens, to the opinion of a majority of their fellow citizens. Mr. Mercer behaved with equal manliness and candor. Indeed the conduct of the whole minority was such as merits the highest encomiums, not like the resiles spirit which actuated the minority of Pennsylvania. There are two gentlemen, who, from indisposition, have been unable to attend their duty in this truly respectable body, Mr. Goldsborough and Colonel Banning, both federalists; these would have made the majority nearly 6 to one; and it is expected they will be in town to sign the ratification. — Mr. Paca, after the decisive vote was taken, laid upon the table a list of amendments, which will be considered by the gentlemen, and those that are approved of by them, in their capacity as citizens, and not as members of Convention, will be recommended to the people for their consideration, to be recommended by them to the Legislature, who may, if they think proper, instruct the Delegates to the first Federal Congress to press their adoption. This business will probably engage a discussion, which may last three or four days; after which they will return home with the most heartfelt satisfaction, and amidst the plaudits of a grateful and enlightened people.
By the best and latest information from Virginia, there is a majority of 40 voices in favor of adopting the Federal Constitution; and by letters from Charleston we are assured it will be received in South-Carolina without much opposition. Thus will America be a second time rescued from desolation and confusion, by the united exertions of her heroes, philosophers and patriots. And it will not be in vain that the best blood of America has been immolated at the altar of Freedom." Extract of a Letter from Madeira, from an Officer on board the Ship Washington, on her way from Providence, Rhode Island, to India.
The day after our arrival here (Feb. 1) came into Funchal Road the ship Jay, Capt. Randall, from New-York, bound also to India.
"During our passage hither we had almost continual heavy gales, and since our arrival at this place the Road has been twice cleared of shipping, they being all driven out to sea.
"There are many English ships here, and one of their Indians. The English bite their lips to see the American flag triumphantly sweeping the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The Americans are much respected here by the natives; we have frequent invitations and parties of pleasure.
"On the birth day of General Washington, the Gentlemen of the Island made an elegant entertainment at a beautiful seat just out of town. The Officers and Passengers from on board both ships, with other respectable Americans here, were invited, and all walked together in grand procession to the villa; our ships were dressed with the colours of all nations, arranged in conformity to their friendship to the United States; at twelve o'clock a salute of 13 guns was fired on shore, in honor of the day, and were answered with a like compliment from each of the American Indians. At 3 o'clock P.M. the General's health was honored with a like salute of 13 guns from on shore, and from the ships. Indeed the inhabitants, as well as Americans, appeared equally zealous to demonstrate their respect for Americans, and for their Hero. Every thing was conducted with dignity and honor."
The Printer has obtained, for the information of the public, an arrangement of the several Offices under Congress, which occupy that spacious and elegant building of the Honorable Walter Livingston, Esq. in Broadway.
On the first floor is the War-Office. Second floor, the Office of Foreign Affairs.
Third floor, Burrel's Office, for settling the accounts of the Commissary and Quarter-Master departments.
Walker's Office, for the accounts of the Marine, Clothing and Hospital departments.
Fourth floor. Treasurer's Office. Farrel's office, for adjusting the accounts of the States of New-York and New-Jersey.
The damnation of Dramatic productions has frequently been occasioned by whimsical contingencies; but the following instances being effected by Jeu d'Esprit, are not generally known.
In the early display of Mr. Garrick's powers, at Drury-lane, a tragedy was brought forth, in which Roscius sustained the character of a King. Though there was nothing remarkably brilliant in the play, it met with no opposition till the fifth act, when Garrick, as the dying Monarch, bequeathed his Empire between his two sons, in the following line:
"Jointly 'twixt you, my Crown I do bequeath."
When a quaint man getting up in the pit, rejoined,
"Then, Gods! they've just got Half a Crown a piece!"
This threw the whole house into such a comic convulsion, that not another word of the tragedy was uttered on the stage.
Villiers, the facetious Duke of Buckingham, being present at the first representation of one of Dryden's pieces of heroic nonsense, where a lover says,
"My wound is great, because it is so small."
The Duke instantly exclaimed from the stage box —
"Then 'twould be greater were there none at all."
The effect of this repartee was such, that the play was instantly damned.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette.
CURSORY REMARKS on the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
IT is not my intention to enter largely into a consideration of this plan of government, but to suggest some ideas in addition, and of the same nature with those already made, shewing the imperfections and the danger of it.
The first thing that strikes a diligent observer, is the want of precaution with regard to the sex of the President. Is it provided that he shall be of the male gender? The Salii, a tribe of the Burgundians, in the 11th century, excluded females from the sovereignty. Without a similar exclusion, what shall we think, if, in progress of time, we should come to have an old woman at the head of our affairs? But what security have we, that he shall not be a white man ? What would be the national disgrace, if he should be elected from one of the Southern States, and a vire Negro should come to rule over us? Treaties would then be formed with the tribes of Congo and Loango, instead of the civilized nations of Europe. But is there any security that he shall be a freeman ? Who knows but the electors, at a future period, in days of corruption, may pick up a man's servant, a convict perhaps, and give him the dominion? Is any care taken, that he shall be of perfect parts? Shall we, in affairs of a civilized nature, leave a door open to lame men, eunuchs, and the Devil knows what.
A Senate is the next great constituent part of the government; and yet there is not a word said with regard to the ancestry of any of them; whether they should be altogether Irish, or only Scots Irish? If any of them have been in the war of the White Boys, the Hearts of Oak, or the like, they may overturn all authority, and make Shillelah the supreme law of the land.
The House of Representatives is to be so large, that it can never be built. They may begin it, but it can never be finished! — Ten miles square! — Babylon itself, unless the suburbs are taken into view, was not of greater extent.
But what avails it to dwell on these things? The want of a Bill of Rights is the great evil. There was no occasion for a Bill of Wrongs ; for there will be wrongs enough. But, Oh! a Bill of Rights ! What is the nature of a Bill of Rights ? "It is a schedule or inventory of those powers which Congress do not possess." But if it is clearly ascertained what powers they have, what need of a catalogue of those powers they have not? Ah! there is the mistake. A minister preaching, undertook, first, to shew what was in his text; second, what was not in it. When it is specified what powers are given, why not also, what powers are not given? A Bill of Rights is wanting, and all those things which are usually secured under it.
1. The Rights of Conscience are swept away. The confession of faith, the prayer-book, the manual, and pilgrim's progress, are all to go. The psalms of Watts, I am told, is the only thing of the kind that is to have any quarter at all.
2. The Liberty of the Press ; that is gone at the first stroke. Not so much as an advertisement for a stray horse, or a run-away Negro, can be put in any of the gazettes.
3. The Trial by Jury ; that is knocked in the head, and all that worthy class of men, the lawyers, who live by haranguing and bending the juries, are demolished.
I would submit it to any candid man, if, in this Constitution, there is the least provision for the privilege of shaving the beard? Or is there any mode laid down to take the measure of a pair of breeches?
Whence is it then, men of learning seem so much to approve, while the ignorant are against it? The cause is perfectly apparent, viz. that reason is an erring guide, while instinct, which is the governing principle of the untaught, is certain. Put a pig in a poke, carry it half a day's journey through woods and bye-ways, let it out, and it will run home without deviation. Could Dr. Franklin do this? What reason have
we then, to suppose that his judgment, or that of Washington, could be equal to that of Mr. Smiley, in State affairs.
Were it not on this principle that we are able to account for it, it might be thought strange, that old Livingston, of the Jerseys, could be so hood-winked, as to give his sanction to such a diabolical scheme of tyranny amongst men.

MONTMORIN. THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of seve- ral Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settle- ment formerly called Logstown, which was abandon- ed previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and ab- ounds in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the wa- ter is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communi- cation or route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settle- ments; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, be- ing all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Wash- ington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, are distinguished in the plan, will be vested in suffices for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the de- livery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenbergh and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputa- ble titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appro- priation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Tho- mas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadel- phia; Mr. John Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelter, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bouquet's Expedi- tion, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles forty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the Eng- lish and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge; on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the up- per town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Pro- ceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esquires, or any o- ther gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. Isth. April 5.
