From the (London) MONTHLY REVIEW, for May, 1787.
A Defence of the Constitution of Government of the United States of America. By JOHN ADAMS, L. L. D. &c.
WE have not met with a greater disappointment, in the course of our literary labours, than we have experienced with respect to the work now before us. The character of Dr. Adams, as a man of sagacity and talents, stands very high in the world, and the experience he has had in the administration of American affairs, naturally made us hope for much useful information on the subject of legislation and government, from a performance written by him expressly on that subject. We therefore opened the book with eager expectation, but, to our great regret, we found in it nothing answerable to our prepossessions in its favor. On reading the preface, we thought we discovered an ostentatious display of extensive reading, and a general knowledge of arts and sciences, that would have been natural enough in a very young writer, eager to impress his readers with a high idea of his acquirements; and we observed somewhat of an embarrassed affectation of elocution, which perfectly corresponded with that idea. But we were disposed to pass over little defects and to consider them merely as common instances of human imperfection, such as frequently serve to lower the character of the most exalted among mankind. We therefore proceeded to the body of the work itself, not doubting but that we should there find abundant compensation for the slight check we had met with at the outset. Accordingly, we proceeded, from page to page, with increasing desire to discover the pearl that we thought was undoubtedly concealed among such a quantity of pebbles, until we arrived at the very end of the work, without being able to find the treasure we had been so anxiously searching for; and, in course, we closed the book with disappointment.
We should here have closed also our review of this article, did we not think ourselves under an obligation, from the nature of our office, and the respect which we owe to the public, to give some farther account of a work offered to the world by a character so respectable as that of the American Ambassador. This, we hope, will be admitted as an apology for our extending this article to a greater length than we think its own intrinsic merit could authorize.
The divisions of this performance are called letters , but they bear no mark of epistolary correspondence, except that every chapter begins with "My dear Sir,"—and at the end are addressed "William Stephens Smith, Esq." and in one place, the historian, Smith, is called his correspondent's name sake.
The letters themselves contain a general sketch of the history and constitution of most of those republics which have existed on the earth from the earliest records to the present time; with some account of the opinions of certain eminent men, on the subject of legislation and government. The professed intention of all these detached historical passages, is to combat an opinion of M. Turgot's; who in his letter to Dr. Price, confesses "that he is not satisfied with the constitutions which have hitherto been formed for the different States of America." Observing that by most of them the customs of England are imitated without any motive, instead of collecting all authority into one centre, that of the nation, "they have established different bodies, a body of Representatives, a Council, and a Governor, because there is in England, a House of Commons, a House of Lords, and a King. They endeavor to balance these different powers, as if this equilibrium, which in England may be a necessary check to the enormous influence of royalty, could be of any use in republics founded upon the equality of all the citizens, and as if establishing different orders of men was not a source of division and disputes." This loose, indigested passage, the absurdity of which might have been as sufficiently exposed in three pages as in three thousand, has given our author a pretext for passing in review the various political institutions of the different republics mentioned in history, with a view to show, 'that certain balances of power must be established, or confusion and divisions must be the consequence; and that wherever an attempt has been made to throw all power into the hands of any one body of men, oppression and political distress has been the inevitable consequence, instead of tranquility and good order.' This is the substance of the whole volume, and it doubtless contains a truth that few persons who have turned their thoughts to subjects of this kind will be disposed to dispute. But if they were to say, 'we readily admit of this; we have long known that certain checks of power are necessary to insure liberty to the people, and establish a tranquility of government; but what we wish to be accurately informed of, is—what are those checks that will most effectually answer those purposes, and how shall a government be constituted to obtain them in the most perfect manner, for people, so circumstanced as the Americans?' For an answer to this question, the reader will search this volume in vain; for, unless it be a few vague and indiscriminate praises of the British constitution (not the constitution of the American States), he will meet with nothing that seems to have a tendency that way. We are indeed repeatedly told, that no government can exist, but where a balance, consisting of three parts, is preserved. Upon this point, like Lord Chesterfield with the graces, Dr. Adams dwells forever. It occurs in almost every page of the book; but always in general terms, which convey no definite idea to the inquisitive mind. Indeed, unless it be in the passage from M. Turgot, quoted above, the reader scarcely acquires any information concerning the constitution of the American States: Nor is he any where told, in a distinct manner, what is the nature of that British constitution, which, in general terms, is held forth to our admiration, in every part of the book.

VERSAILLES, June 28.
Orders have been sent to Brest to equip 16 ships of the line, and to send immediately to sea a frigate with orders to the squadron on the coast of Portugal to return to port with all possible expedition. This armament, however, will not put to sea, unless England should interrupt the commerce of Holland, and attempt to dictate to the United Provinces; though some of our politicians think it is destined for the East-Indies where they imagine the English will probably send a fleet to attack the Asiatick establishments of Holland, they are assembling at Givet a body of 12,000 men under the command of the Count de Rochambeau.
July 20. His Majesty has received a letter from Mr. de Calonne, nearly in the following terms: "The persecutions I have suffered, the ignominy I am branded with, the great distress they have conceived against my person, and above all the extreme grief I felt to see myself deprived of your Majesty's favor and protection, have made me banish myself from my country; and when your Majesty receives this letter, I shall be out of your dominions. I retire into a country where I can in safety, labour towards my justification."
HAGUE, July 11.
The following is a copy of a Memorial presented to their High Mightinesses, the States-General of the United Provinces, by his Excellency Baron Thulemeyer, Envoy Extraordinary of his Prussian Majesty:
"High and mighty Lords, the wisdom of your High Mightinesses has foreseen the astonishment and profound grief which his Prussian Majesty ought naturally to feel, at learning, that his August Sister's journey to the Hague, undertaken with the most salutary views, has been retarded near Schoonhoven by some armed men. The King has been made acquainted with the enlightened opinion, which prevailed in the assembly of their High Mightinesses, with regard to this unforeseen and daring outrage, as well as with their resolution upon the occasion, and will certainly applaud them."
"It is by the express order of his Prussian Majesty, that the under written has remitted to their noble and High Mightinesses the States of Holland, the memorial, of which a copy is annexed to this, in which he insists on a proper satisfaction, as well as the punishment of the authors of the injury committed. Your High Mightinesses will co-operate, without doubt, with that ardent zeal which the underwritten has had the honor to experience on many occasions, for the support of the friendship and harmony which has hitherto subsisted between the two States."
THULEMEYER.
"At the Hague, July 10, 1787."
Copy of a Memorial presented to their High Mightinesses the States of Holland and West Friesland, by his Excellency the Baron Thulemeyer, Envoy Extraordinary of his Prussian Majesty.
"Noble, great, and powerful Lords, the outrage committed near Schoonhoven, on the person of his August Sister, whom the most salutary views induced to go to the Hague. Her Royal Highness was retarded in her journey, surrounded with soldiers, and armed men were even placed in her apartments. It is by the express order of his Prussian Majesty, that the underwritten, his Envoy Extraordinary, has the honor to apply to your noble and great Mightinesses, to insist, in the most pressing and strongest manner, on a proper satisfaction for this injury, and on the punishment of the aggressors, he will hasten to inform the King, his master, of the impression the representations of his minister may have made in the Sovereign Assembly of Holland. His Majesty will judge from the result of the deliberations of your noble Mightinesses, with regard to this, of the value you set on his friendship and esteem."
THULEMEYER.
Hague, July 10, 1787.
LONDON, July 4.
On a moderate computation, there are more men and women executed and sentenced to transportation in Great-Britain and Ireland than in all Europe together; and by the same dispassionate and impartial calculation, there are more persons confined for debt in the two kingdoms than in the known world. To what then, in the name of Heaven, can this be imputed, but to a radical imperfection in our laws! To charge it to national depravity would be paying ourselves an ill compliment; to sink the observation, would be inhuman and impolitic.
July 5. A new set of beggars now infest our streets, supporting themselves by their art in idleness, drunkenness and profligacy. They are distinguished by the appellation of genteel beggars. Their letters, cases and testimonials are provided with signatures by common advice, by aid of which they commonly perfonate American Loyalists, reduced to poverty by wars, rebellions, and other unexpected misfortunes. They get admission by boldly knocking at doors, and if they find women only in the house, they are sure of obtaining money either by solicitation or menaces. Why are magistrates so tender to beggars and vagabonds? Because they get nothing by them until they are become felons.
July 7. We have received a confirmation of the report circulated some time ago, of the Dey of Algiers having declared war against the State of Tunis, that every preparation is making which a savage ferocity of temper can prompt, and that a numerous army were ordered to march against Cape Bon, for the purpose of attempting the reduction of that place.
Some letters received from Holland on Saturday, mention, that the King of Prussia has proposed a new plan of reconciliation between the Stadtholder and the States, the outlines of which are these—Stadtholder shall abdicate, and retire into Germany for life; that the Princess of Orange shall remain at the Hague, or at Nimèguen as Regent, during minority of her son, who is to be Stadtholder as soon as he comes of age. This plan is evidently founded on the supposed personal dislike the States entertain against the Stadtholder.
The Court of Spain is about to declare war against Algiers—that piratical State having violated the late Treaty, and began their usual depredations on the Spanish ships. The Spanish frigate which was carrying out seven hundred thousand pieces as re-
mainder of the ransom money demanded by the Dey, has received orders to repair to Carthagena, in consequence of some private advice of a very alarming tendency received from the Spanish Consul at Algiers.
Extract of a letter from Utrecht, July 12.
"From Overysiel we hear, that the town of Hafflet is yet free from the confusion which reigns in other parts of the State. The Secretary d'Almaras, the most violent among them, fearing the punishment of his crimes, took to flight, and is, as we suppose, in Guelderland. One of the burgomasters, and several of the seditious inhabitants, have followed his example. Some of them were taken by the guard boats, which ply on the Zuyderzee, and sent to prison. The province of Overysiel has now only to fear the troops of Guelderland and Amersfort."
Extract of a letter from Dublin, July 2.
"The Commissioners of his Majesty's revenue have ordered the additional duty of 6d. per tanned hide, paid since the 25th of March, 1780, on the exportation of this article, to be refunded the merchants."
"A few days ago, an American vessel from Philadelphia, called the Daff, came into our harbour, freighted with a cargo of tar, tobacco, &c. and while the master came on shore in order to make his invoice, the tide waiters went on board, and upon searching the vessel, they found no less than 213 pieces of nankeen, which of course they seized on; the master hearing what had happened, went on board, and immediately set sail with the 2 revenue officers along with him, who by much intrepidity were landed on the rocks near Howith, and the vessel got clear off."
The defection of the Holland line seems to be over, and the remaining part of the troops may be regarded as loyal; they amount to about one half, which increases daily by numerous recruits, as well as by deserters from Amersfort. The progress of the Stadtholder has, however, been balanced by a considerable loss in Overysiel. The regiment of Plettemberg, that wanted to surprise Deventer, has been completely beaten by the burghers. It is asserted, that upwards of 400 soldiers were killed, 150 made prisoners. The burghers had 75 men killed. We expect further particulars of that affair.
July 20. The States of Holland have issued a Proclamation, of which the following is the substance:
"That having observed the inhabitants of the Hague, and other places attached to the interest of the Prince Stadtholder, lately wearing orange ribbons in the form of a W. and other party emblems, tending to inflame the minds of the people, and exciting them to renounce their allegiance to their lawful Sovereigns, the States of Holland; besides publishing placards, songs, &c. highly derogatory to the honor of the said States; in order the more effectually to suppress this spirit of rebellion and disobedience, their Noble Mightinesses have resolved, that every person, who shall be heard singing any inflammatory songs, particularly those beginning with the words Orange, Boeren, &c. and Prince Deuntjes ; or who shall be seen wearing the aforesaid Orange ribbons in the above shape, or in any other form whatever, shall be punished with instant death ! on the very spot where the party is detected, without any kind of trial!"
The above proclamation, which passed under the Hague, the 4th of July, 1787, and signed, By order of the States of Holland,
C. CLUTTERDOOKS.
July 21. It is confidently asserted, that his Prussian Majesty has given orders for the immediate march of sixty thousand troops into the Dutchy of Cleves. This step will more effectually serve the cause of the Stadtholder, than the most spirited memorials.
July 28. We are informed from good authority, says a morning paper, that notwithstanding the last Dutch mail contained an assurance that the King of Prussia had not given the smallest orders for the movement of any part of his troops, a column of 16,000 men have entered Maastricht, to prevent the French troops forming a junction with the Dutch patriotic army; while a second column of 16,000 Prussians have absolutely marched to the assistance of the Prince of Orange, who have formed the determined resolution of proceeding immediately into the province of Holland, where he intends to act, at once, with firmness and vigour, as the only probable means left that is any way likely to terminate the present unhappy dissensions. What the result of these movements may be, a few days will discover.
The State of Holland has become so very critical, that several Royal Physicians have taken it into consideration. Like other physicians, they would have no objection to the death of the patient, provided they could subsequently agree about the legacies—but there is the rub!—It is agreed on all hand, that the disorder is a high fever —the application will of course be phlebotomy .
It is with singular pleasure that we say, from indisputable authority, the benevolent and valuable society of Quakers have taken up with great earnestness the question of negro slavery. They are now canvassing for votes, and they have hopes of having no less than 200 friends to the question in the House of Commons next Session, when a motion is to be made for a bill to abolish slavery in the colonies.
UNITED STATES.
ALBANY, September 13.
On Monday last, agreeable to brigade orders, the independent artillery company of this city, commanded by the Hon. John Lansing, jun. Esq. and the corps of militia, under the command of Major Stephen Van Ransellaer, were reviewed by Brigadier-General Gansevoort and Adjutant-General Fitch.—At XI. o'clock the artillery marched from their parade-ground in State-street, and the militia from the church-pasture, and a junction of the two corps was formed at the head of Market-street, from thence they marched to Water-Vleit.—The Generals were honored with the company of a number of gentlemen of the first distinction, in this city; who expressed the highest pleasure at the martial appearance and military conduct of the respective corps.
After the review, the company of artillery performed several evolutions and firings, in a most regular and military manner, to the great satisfaction of the reviewing Generals, as well as to the other gentlemen and crowd of spectators.
New-York, September 25.
The late attempts upon this city, are of so serious a nature as justly to alarm the inhabitants; and experience hitherto has shown the propriety and wisdom of the plan adopted for our security—None can have a complete idea of the good effects it has already produced, except those who have been upon patrol; though all must be more or less sensible of them. But notwithstanding a guard of citizens is found to be extremely useful, something more seems to be necessary;—it would be well if we could prevent the arrival among us, of disorderly people from other States: This would be striking at the root of the evil, and a proper attention to our wholesome laws will go far towards accomplishing so salutary a purpose. The laws I particularly refer to, are full in force, though passed before the revolution; and as they are either forgotten, or many people may be ignorant that such laws exist, a republication, or at least the substance of them, is peculiarly seasonable at this time. You are therefore requested to give them a place in your useful paper.

EXTRACT from "An act to prevent vagrant and idle persons from being a charge and expence to any of the counties, cities, towns, manors or precincts within this province."
"1. Every householder who shall entertain a stranger in his house for 3 days, unless he shall know him to be a person of good and sufficient substance, shall give an account of such stranger, to the Mayor or next Justice of the Peace, on penalty of maintaining such stranger; or being bound that he shall not become a charge to the public; & the Mayor, &c. shall examine into the ability of such stranger, and if he finds him not of sufficient substance, shall send him to the place from whence he last came.
"Householders not giving information of strangers as aforesaid, shall, in case of their remaining 40 days in the town, &c. enter into a recognizance that they shall not become a charge—refusing to become bound, shall be committed to gaol. The householder not being of sufficient ability to become bound, the vagrant shall be sent from Constable to Constable till he gets out of the province.
"If the vagrant returns, he or she is to be apprehended by warrant from the Mayor or Justices, and to be retransported as aforesaid; and shall, by every Constable into whose charge the said vagrant shall come, be stript, from the waste upwards, and receive, if a man, not exceeding 32 lashes; if a woman, not exceeding 25 lashes on the bare back; and so as often as he or she shall return from transportation.
10th, George II. A. D. 1756.
CHAP. C.
An act to enforce and render more effectual "an act, entitled, an act to prevent vagrant and idle persons from being a charge and expence to any of the counties, cities, towns, manors or precincts within this province." Passed the 9th July, 1756.
"Whereas in and by the aforesaid act, entitled, "An act to prevent vagrant and idle persons from being a charge and expence to any of the counties, cities, towns, manors or precincts within this province;" passed in the seventh year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the First, it is provided and enacted, That every master of any ship or vessel that should enter in his Majesty's Custom-house, within the city of New-York, should within 24 hours after his arrival, make report to the Mayor or of the said city, for the time being, of all and every person or persons that he should bring in his ship or vessel, not shipped as a sailor on board of his said ship or vessel, under the penalty and forfeiture of five pounds, current money of New-York; which penalty being conceived too small,
"Be it enacted by his Excellency the Governor, the Council, and the General Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That every master of any ship or vessel, who shall enter in his Majesty's Custom-house in the city of New-York, and shall not make report as directed by the aforesaid act, shall respectively forfeit and pay the sum of ten pounds; and if any person so neglected to be reported to the Mayor of the said city, as directed by the act aforesaid, shall be a foreigner, the master of any ship or vessel so neglecting to make report as aforesaid of such foreigner, shall forfeit the sum of thirty pounds. And any householder who shall entertain in his house or family any such foreigner, and not make the same known to the Mayor or of the said city, within 24 hours after he shall receive such foreigner into his house or family, shall forfeit the sum of five pounds; The said respective forfeitures to be recovered and applied as is directed in the said act; any thing in the said act to the contrary notwithstanding."
The ship Union, Capt. Tucker, 7 weeks from Bourdeaux, arrived at Baltimore the 14th inst. The Captain has given the following articles of intelligence, which was the best that could be obtained when he left France—that it was the general opinion war was unavoidable in Europe; and that in the present struggle between the Stadtholder and the States of Holland, France was determined to support the latter in their claims, and was making every necessary preparation for that purpose;—no less than 15 ships of the line failed from Brest on the 20th July—on the contrary, the English nation appear to be on the side of the Stadtholder, and are taking measures accordingly; they are making great exertions to man their fleet with all possible expedition; in consequence of which, there is a strong press for seamen in every part of England; and it is said, 18 or 20 ships of the line were ready to sail from Spithead about the 20th July.
The King of Prussia and the Emperor of Germany will also act a distinguished part on this important occasion, the one for his friend and relation, the Stadtholder, the other with his brother-in-law, for the States; and from this disposition of affairs on the grand theatre of action, it cannot be supposed that Spain will be an idle spectator.
It is likewise greatly to be feared, that the disciples of Epicurus, who are fond of roast beef and every other species of good eating, will this season feel the want of good claret, as there was the appearance of very short crops in the vineyards this year, owing to some hard frosts they were visited with late in the spring, which caused the grape to wither and drop off.—This unfavorable circumstance caused wine to raise 10 per cent. before Captain Tucker left the country.
On the 4th August, in lat. 49, 10 N. and long. 12, 35 W. the Union fell in with the Pigot, India-

man, Captain Balentine, six months from China; and as it was almost calm, he hoisted his boat out to get some articles he was in want of.—He informed Capt. Tucker, that Lord Cornwallis was displaying his authority in India, and making great regulations, in order to repair the misconduct of Mr. Hastings; and that all public officers were called on to give an account of their proceedings for many years back.—He likewise observed, that the American trade in that quarter was not on the best establishment, which he attributed to the want of attention and punctuality in some of the American masters and supercargoes; a defect of bad consequence in that part of the world, where the trade of all other nations was carried on by companies, and each company having their Factor, he was looked upon as responsible for all the faults, committed by individuals belonging to each respective company.
Should the want of that delicate respect to punctuality, in this trade so essentially necessary, continue, there was reason to apprehend they might seize the first American property they got into their power, considering the whole of such property as belonging to one, according to the custom of other nations, by which means the innocent would suffer for the guilty, and that trade be broke up.
It is devoutly to be wished, the highest attention would be paid to the credit of the American national character in every corner of the globe.
On the 10th of August, in lat. 47, 50 N. and long. 27, 12 W. the Union fell in with the ship L'Baron Briton, Capt. Groleau, five months from Bengal; it being nearly calm, he hoisted out his boat and sent her on board, and confirmed the above account respecting affairs in India.—In lat. 41 N. and long. 54, 30 W. spoke the ship Termigant, Capt. Talbot, belonging to Mr. Samuel Burke, from Norfolk, bound to Corke, ten days out, & all well.
After the Gentlemen of the Federal Convention had made report of their proceedings, to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, Dr. Franklin rose, and delivered a letter from the delegates to the House, which being read, consisted of a recommendation to the Legislature, "that a law should be immediately passed vesting in the new Congress a tract of land of ten miles square, by which that body might be induced to fix the seat of Federal Government in that State—an event that must be highly advantageous to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
As a proof of the rapidity with which the arts necessary to knowledge spread themselves over this continent, we have been favored with the second number of a newspaper, printed the 18th ult. by Mr. John Bradford, at Lexington, under the title of "THE KENTUCKE GAZETTE." It contains several original essays, in which the means of promoting the population and riches of the country, and the propriety of a political separation from the State of Virginia, are discussed with considerable ingenuity.
In the French Packet came passenger, Mr. Chevalier, Agent for the French Packets in this port, subordinate to the Consul.
A Mezzotinto Print of His Excellency General Washington, done by Charles Wilson Peale, of Philadelphia, from a Portrait which he was painted since the sitting of the Convention, is now completed: the likewise is esteemed the best that has been executed in a print.—This is one of an intended series of prints, to be taken from Mr. Peale's collection of portraits of illustrious persons, distinguished in the late revolution. Those of His Excellency Doctor Franklin and the Hon. the Marquis de la Fayette, have been already published.
The price of these prints, in a neat oval frame (the inner frame gilt) is two dollars each, or one dollar for the print only; and a large allowance will be made of those who purchase to sell again—Apply to Charles W. Peale, at the corner of Third and Lombard-streets, Philadelphia.
The Printers in the several States, who are desirous of encouraging the fine arts in America, are requested to publish this as an article of intelligence; which will oblige the numerous friends of the General.
Captain Lindsay, who arrived in the brig Tom from Lisbon, on the 9th September, in lat. 31, 14 N. and long. 66 W. spoke the Schooner Maria, Capt. Maxwell, 10 days from this port, all well.
Married, on Wednesday evening, by the Rev. Benjamin Moore, Mr. Nicholas Brevoort, merchant, to Miss Rachael Blau, both of this city.
Married, at Aquacunk, last Thursday evening, David Brooks, Esq. a member of the Hon. Legislature of this State, to Miss Maria Mallam Neil, step-daughter of Col. Samuel Hay, of Aquacunk.
Married, on Friday evening last, by the Rev. Mr. Kuntz, Mr. Edward Palmer, to Miss Peggy Brasfer, both of this city.
ANECDOTE of an AMERICAN OFFICER. During the late glorious contest, an officer was ordered to a station of extreme peril—several of those around him suggested many pretexts by which he might evade the dangerous employment assigned him, to which he made this noble reply—"I thank you, my worthy friends, for your solicitude—I know I can easily save my life, but who will save my honor, if I should adopt your advice?"
