POEMS: by the late Dr. LADD.
To Amanda, with Emma Corbet.
AMANDA, view the soft pathetic lines, Where tender love and glowing genius shines; Where Emma weeps; where hapless Henry draws The heart-felt tear, in love and virtue's cause.
Yes, Emma weeps, behold her sorrows rise, View the dew-drops trembling in her eyes. See, round her Henry's corse the mourner moves, She dies—the martyr of unhappy loves.
So the poor turtle, desolate and lone, Breathes to the winds his melancholy moan; Mourns his lost love, with many a plaintive coo, And sighs his soul out with the fond adieu.
Amanda, say, by such sad scenes impress'd, What gloom pervades the sorrow-teeming breast? How weeps the soul, what sighs the bosom swell? Speak, angel form, for thou best canst it tell.
Here oft thy Aronet's manly bosom glows, And the soft tear all sympathetic flows: Full oft for Emma, lovely maid, distress'd, His tender heart-strings vibrate in his breast: For Henry, oft! the bursting sighs give place, And the soul melts on his impassion'd face.
But while embosom'd in this vale of tears, Recreating woe on every side appears; If right the band, Amanda, can divine, Fair happiness shall be for ever thine.
Th' indulgent care of providence shall bless Thy lovely mind, and ward off keen distress: Joy shall beam on thee with her sun-shine rays, And peace eternal gild thy happy days.
St. JOHN, (New-Brunswick), April 4.

SAVANNAH, May 8.
On or about the night of the 25th ultimo, Mr. Burnet, mentioned to be wounded, and then remaining at his fort on Turtle River, having his two sons, a Dr. Wicham, another white man, and two negroes, with him, was suddenly attacked by a numerous body of Indians, who took possession of the fort, and compelled Burnet's party to retire to the blockhouse, after scalping one of the negroes. A faint action then commenced, which ended with the retreat of the Indians, after wounding one of the young Burnets, and several balls bruising the clothes and hat of the Doctor.
Last Sunday se'nnight some negro men were carried off from Col. Maybank's plantation in Liberty county by the Indians. Col. Maxwell has since been over the Alatamaha with a party of men, and returned without being able to come up with any of the savages.
A letter from Sunbury, dated yesterday, mentions, that a few days ago, at Sapelo, a man was fired at while milking his cow; the cow was killed, but her owner fortunately escaped unhurt.
A few negroes belonging to Mr. Girardeau, were carried off from Liberty county, by the Indians, the beginning of last week. The same party also wounded a young man of the name of Smallwood.

The following extract of a letter was received by a gentleman in Carlisle, from a correspondent of hers, dated Louisville, Falls of Ohio, March 28, 1788.
"We arrived safe here the 16th after a tedious passage of nine days from Muskingum, and luckily escaped the Indians; luckily indeed! for since we came down four boats have been taken by them, and all the passengers either killed or taken prisoners! This is a certainty, as there was a boat taken up by the soldiers, in which were papers denoting that it belonged to a Mr. Keiler of Lexington, who was coming down with a cargo of goods and 15 or 16 horses. There were passengers on board, among whom were Mr. Purviance of Baltimore, a Mr. Ridout of Maryland, and a Mr. Penquian of this town. It is computed those gentlemen's property amounted to 4000l. Five boats
arrived the day before yesterday, and affirm, that three loaded boats, which were some distance in their rear, were fired upon from the savage shore, and that one of them, possessed by three Frenchmen, was drove on shore by the wind; and the other two edging towards it, so that they inevitably shared the fate of Mr. Purviance and Co. It is very surprising those savages should commit such depredations, and they on the eve of holding a treaty, but were they to get all the wealth of the United States, they would and will as long as any of them exists, commit the same cruel actions they have been noted for. Thank Providence we had 15 soldiers on board well armed, which kept the Indians in awe, as they must have certainly seen us."
A singular Method of detecting a Forgery.—The late Mr. Ford, a gentleman well acquainted with the law, and the modes of discovering and detecting infamous villains, was sent for by a Foreign Minister, to trace a villain who had forged his name, and drawn large sums out of the hands of his banker. Mr. Ford, observing that the forged notes were all spent according to particular orthography, instantly conceived that the forgery was committed by a foreigner, and soon after strongly suspected the Minister's own secretary (then present) to be the forger; with that man, however, he was left by the Minister, to consider what were the most prudent steps to be taken to make a discovery; after a little conversation between them, Mr. Ford proposed inserting advertisements in all the public papers, offering therein a reward to the discoverer, to which the secretary very readily agreed; but Mr. Ford, under the pretence of having left his spectacles at home, desired the secretary to write, and that he would dictate; and so contrived it, that he introduced into the advertisement every word, which in the forged drafts had been spent according to particular orthography; and as every word tallied to a tittle, Mr. Ford retired, satisfied in his own mind that he had discovered the man; the advertisements were, however, printed in the public papers, and about a fortnight afterwards, Mr. Ford waited upon the Minister, but found only the secretary at home. After mutual civilities, Mr. Ford placed himself near, and almost insensibly to the secretary, who asked him whether he had discovered the forger? Mr. Ford, looking the secretary steadfastly in the face, replied, "I have; he then perceived such a sudden change of countenance, and that as soon as the secretary had recovered his alarm, as to ask him, who is the man? Mr. Ford clapping his hand violently upon the knee of the secretary, said, "You, Sir, are the man!" Conscious guilt struck him to the ground, and the window being near and open, he instantly jumped out, and impaled himself upon the iron rails before the door!

Vienna, March 8. An express which arrived here yesterday, and which was immediately dispatched to the Emperor, brought the very important intelligence of the junction of the Russian and Austrian forces under the command of Count Romanzow and the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg. This event, of which the particular circumstances are not yet known, is however highly interesting, as the Russian army would have been incapable of undertaking any thing of importance, if the junction had not been effected. The most vigorous exertions are made to expedite the necessary preparations; and the siege of Choczim will be undertaken as soon as the season will permit.

It is said, that the plague is broke out at Smyrna, but that the English ships in that port, having the most early intelligence of it, quitted it in time, so as to avoid the most remote consequences of contagion.
By private letters from Vienna, we have received the following intelligence: "An unhappy event has taken place with respect to the regiment of Pelligrini; that fine corps, composed of 2500 of the best troops in the Imperial service, having advanced too prematurely and unguardedly on the right side of the Danube, were surprised and totally destroyed by a numerous body of Turkish cavalry. They were mostly cut to pieces in the conflict, and those made prisoners were beheaded, and their heads sent to Constantinople." This unwarrantable exercise of cruelty in the troops of the Porte, may perhaps excite a spirit of retaliation in the Imperialists, which will lead to that vindictive and barbarous mode of conducting the war, that has not of late years disgraced the arms of civilized nations.
The Presbytery of Edinburgh, through Sir Adam Ferguson, have petitioned Parliament against the African Slave Trade.
It is reported that a very unexpected change has taken place in the politics of this country, as far as they relate to our Northern connection.
We are assured the Spaniards are to permit the entrance of the Russian fleet into the Mediterranean. The negotiation is at length agreed upon, though not without much difficulty on the part of Russia, and some interference of perfidious in the French Ministry.
The Russians have begun the siege of Oczakow. It is from the army under the command of Prince Repnin, which is so advantageously posted as to have had the first intelligence of this event, that the news comes.
The Venetians are resolved to observe a strict neutrality in the present contest between Russia and the Porte.
An order is said to have arrived from Peterstburg, to purchase all the old East-India ships, which are put up for sale; they are to be converted into men of war for the service of the Empress, being better built and more fit for that service, than any they have in Russia.
Extract of a letter from Vienna, Feb. 24.
General Wartenflecken, who commands at Temeswont, having sent a detachment towards Rama, to seize upon one large ship, two small boats, and three others of less magnitude, beside a magazine of corn and provisions; it was effected without the loss of a man on the side of the Imperialists, who destroyed a number of Turks, by a well-conducted discharge of a battery.
Another expedition was equally successful, near Gradisca, where about 55 vessels were taken, many of them laden with provisions. The loss sustained by the Imperialists, was having Mr. Vitig, first Lieutenant of the Illyrian Wallachians, severely wounded, and one soldier slightly.
The same day on which the declaration of war was notified to the Pacha of Waddin, by General Papilla, the Imperialists attacked the city of Orfowa, and took the garrison of 80 men, without any resistance.
The Croates are said to have taken Biharz, and to have lost two officers and 50 men in the enterprize.
MARCH 25.
How it has fared with the Imperial Internuncio at Constantinople, is not yet known. The reports are various, and every where to be found, the certainty as yet no where.
The Parliament of Paris, as well as several of the provincial parliaments in France, have stepped forth on former occasions with much zeal and activity in defence of their rights and liberties. Their firmness has been the echo and admiration of all Europe; but on no occasion has it ventured on such a bold address to the Sovereign as lately on the subject of Lettres de Cachet. The language, of which is throughout nervous and energetic.
The memorial is of considerable length. It declares, that the use of Lettres de Cachet, and every mandate of the King which tends to deprive a citizen of his liberty, without being tried by a Court of Judicature, is contrary to the laws and constitution of the kingdom.
The conclusion runs thus: — "It is now high time that this abuse should have an end: the nation demands its liberties,—it has the right to obtain them, and Parliament in this instance is only the organ of the people at large. We do not solicit the repeal of the orders your Majesty has issued against his Highness the Duke of Orleans and the other two magistrates; we do not solicit their liberty as being a Prince and magistrates, but rather demand it as being citizens, Frenchmen and men."
The following is the answer of the French King to the above:
"I FOREAD you on a former occasion to follow up your representation of the 9th of January last, and I now acquaint you, that a resistance to my commands is not the means to obtain the release of the magistrates whom I have thought fit to punish."
"I have nothing further to add to my last answer; I have already told you that the liberty of my subjects was as dear to me as to themselves; but I will never permit my parliament to resist the exercise of a power to which families have often owed the preservation of their honor, and the State, public tranquility."
"My Parliament ought to submit with respect and in silence to whatever my wisdom judges proper."
"I lastly forbid you to renew your deliberations on this subject."
Letters have been received in town, stating that on the 20th inst. the Dauphin of France, who has been for some time in a very ill state of health, expired at noon at the Chateau de St. Lewis. Nothing more than this has been related, and not having received a confirmed account of the event, we do not vouch for its authenticity.
A new alliance is about to make its appearance in Europe: Great Britain, Holland, Prussia, Saxony, and the King of Sardinia, against France, Germany, and Russia. Spain, Denmark and Portugal, are in this likely to be perfectly neutral. Sweden is out of the question.
Cardinal Pasqual Acquaviva, died at Rome on the 29th of February, aged 69 years, by which a ninth cap is become vacant in the sacred College.
The States General have ordered a medal of 1300 florins value to be presented to his Excellency John Adams, the American Ambassador, as a testimony of their approbation of his conduct.
Sir F. Haldimand is talked of to succeed to the Governor Generalship of Canada, if Lord Dorchester should give up, as expected; his health, as it is said, being too much impaired to bear the vicissitudes of another winter in Canada.
MARCH 26.
Copy of a Letter from John Udny, Esq. his Majesty's Consul at Leghorn, to the Marquis of Carmarthen, Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, dated Leghorn, March 3.
"My Lord, "I have the honor to forward your Lordship a packet from Conful Logie, of Algiers, for Lord Sydney, which arrived here in six days; when, as the Conful advises me in his letter of the 25th ult. the plague was again broke out there, and for the last fortnight the mortality had increased from ten to twelve daily. The Health-office here having received certain advice, that the contagion had again broke out at Smyrna, have renewed the rigorous quarantine of 40 days on all vessels from both places. I have not failed to give the earliest notice of these disagreeable events to his Majesty's Consuls, and also to Commodore Colby."
"I have the honor to be, &c."
JOHN UDNY.
By the last accounts from Vienna it is supposed, that the Emperor will alter his mode of attack against the Turks, General de Vins having represented to him forcibly the great difficulty of the service, and loss of troops occasioned by the brave and obstinate resistance of the Turks; and the good state of defence in which their frontier posts were kept. The General's advice is, to wait for the proper season for entering Bohemia with a sufficient force of artillery, &c. It is apprehended that the Emperor will follow it, especially as he has learnt, that the plan hitherto pursued has proved abortive, and that the Turkish posts cannot be taken by a coup de main.
The Emperor having refused to admit any fo-
reigners whatever to serve as volunteers in his army, a great number of officers of all nations, who went to Vienna for that purpose, have left it again.
The King has at length determined upon sitting up the tomb of Cardinal Wolsey, and Mr. Welt has engaged to paint it in compartments. This gentleman is regularly retained by his Majesty at a salary of a thousand pounds a year. In his great work of the installation, he has yet made but a very moderate progress; for this, however, we understand, he is to have a separate consideration, for that altogether, under the auspices and patronage of Majesty, this gentleman, who it must be confessed, merits every possible mark of liberality, sits down quietly contented with about 4000l. per annum.

Lord Glerawley has been elected and installed Grand Master of the Free Masons of Ireland.
A battle was fought yesterday, in Stepney Fields, between two Jews, which lasted near 20 minutes. The odds, before they set to, were six to four on the largest man; but, after the first round, became even betting. The smallest man had the lead throughout the fight, excepting in one round, when his adversary threw him a cross buttock. They both boxed well; but the little man infinitely the best, which won him the battle. Mendoza was present, who acted as umpire upon the occasion. Big Ben, Jack Butcher, the fighting coachman, &c. were also there.

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 unemitted affidavits to the pain laid down in the following propositions, 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 distinguished mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed.
2d. To all such a proper district, in such manner as that every resident in such district 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 person belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the estate in the event 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 under-taking 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 above said place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf

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 Logtown, 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 a- bounds 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 county seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable sit. 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 9 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as hitherto laid 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. Muhlenburgh and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indispu- table titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said approp- riation, 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 Deafeld, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHIER. 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 twelve and a half miles fifty-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 of the gentlemen acquainted in the Western Country. Fm 8th. April 5.
