SPRINGFIELD, July 23. A correspondent informs us, That on the night of the 6th inst. the dwelling house of Stephen Whitney, in the bounds of Shutesbury, near Lock's Mill, so called, was strowed by a whirlwind, as is generally believed, the effects being very apparent, for about three hundred rods in circumference. It is supposed to have begun on the pond, a small distance from the house.—Mr. Whitney, his wife and child, lodged in the S. E. front room next the kitchen—the widow Lock and daughter, in a bed room, the N. W. corner of the house, and two children in N. E. front chamber. Mr. Whitney hearing a clap of thunder and high wind, awoke in surprise, and starting from his bed his wife followed, leaving their child, and having just entered the kitchen, the house fell, and buried seven persons in its ruins. The widow, her daughter and the two children, were hurled with the timbers and furniture of the house, to the west side of it.—To the wonder and surprise of the family, they found themselves alive, amidst the rubbish and ruins of the house, barn and fences—in the dark, without clothes, drenched in rain, and half a mile distant from a neighbour. Whitney and his wife's mother, the widow, were some bruised, but in a likely way to do well. Their preservation must be owing to the watchful and gracious providence of Almighty God, who hath the winds on the dry land, as well as the waves of the tempestuous sea, under his controul.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 5. It was yesterday resolved in Congress, that the first meeting of the Congress, under the New Constitution, should be at "BALTIMORE." On this question there were thirteen States present;—Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina and Georgia voted in the affirmative;—New-Jersey, New-York, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, Massachusetts and New-Hampshire, in the negative. On Saturday last, Mr. Henry, a worthy Theatric character, manumitted three slaves before his Honor the Mayor, Aldermen Gilbert and Wylley, agreeable to the Act of Assembly of 22d February, 1782. An example worthy imitation, and which we hope for the honor of human nature, will be daily followed until this happy country shall boast not partial but universal freedom. On Sunday arrived the Schooner Lady Dorchester, James, from Shelburne, in 5 days; sloop Unity, Watson, from Philadelphia, in 4 days; Schooner Success, Tulloch, from Shelburne, in 7 days; and Yesterday arrived the sloop Experiment, Pack, from Guadalupe, in 16 days; and sloop Charles, White, from Norfolk, in 6 days.
A subscriber for the American Magazine is happy to see that periodical publication continually improving.—Hopes, for the sake of a work so entertaining and really useful, subscribers will be daily increasing. The number of valuable original pieces, and the taste discovered in selecting from other publications, do credit to the editor.—invite subscriptions from the scientific and tasteful; and claim the patronage of all friends to American publications. Though its first appearance was not flattering, it is but a debt due to merit to acknowledge, the last number must equal the expectations of the most sanguine. The remarks on "education" in number 6, particularly those in page 370, merit being engraved on "the lintel and two side posts" of the door of every American. The first attempt at reviewing publications, appears to great advantage. The following review in the last number is of such consequence, that Mr. Childs is requested to give it a place in his Daily Advertiser.
To the AUTHORS of the LONDON REVIEW. GENTLEMEN, In the European Magazine for February, March and April, I observe your criticisms on the Conquest of Canaan, a Poem in eleven books, by the Rev. Dr. Dwight. As I have the honor of some acquaintance with that gentleman, and with some circumstances respecting his Poem of which you appear to be ignorant, I presume to call in question the justness of some of your remarks, notwithstanding they are published under the authority of the Philological Society in London.
You introduce your critique with the following reflections. "Every liberal mind must be pleased to see genius, and that great humaniser of nations, polite literature, expanding themselves in the infant States of America. However inferior to a Homer or a Milton; or however but little superior to a Blackmore, yet the attempt to cultivate the Muses in a new-formed Commonwealth, and a decent and promising attempt the Poem before us undoubtedly is, such an attempt has a claim to more than ordinary candor, has a claim to liberal indulgence, and such due commendations as may cherish the liping Muse. The critic who is the genuine friend of the interests of literature, where he perceives a total barrenness of genius, will admonish the unhappy author to desist; and will even add ridicule and severity, as the case may require. But where taste and merit are discernible, and capable of improvement, he will point out the blemishes and faults with tenderness, and in a manner calculated to promote the Author's future amendment. Such we intend to be the rule of our conduct in our animadversions on the American Epic Poem, the CONQUEST OF CANAAN."
Did these remarks, Gentlemen, proceed from liberal minds, which are pleased to see genius and polite literature expanding themselves in the Infant States of America? Or were they dictated by prejudice, in minds soured by political disappointment? Let the liberal mind determine.
As your remarks on the preface of Dr. Dwight's Poem are the least exceptionable, I pass them without notice.
Having given the argument of the first book at large, you subjoin the following remarks. "Here America is obviously placed before us under the allegory of the Israelites having left Egypt, which means the British government, and about to settle themselves by force of arms. Haniel, who advises to return to Egypt, and the difficulties he foretells, represents the Loyalists, and Joshua's reply sums up the arguments of the American patriots. But this allegory is not regularly carried through the work."
Here, Gentlemen, your opinions are obviously. * What a curious construction of a sentence!— "the Israelites having left Egypt, and (having) about to settle themselves by force of arms." This language is like the criticisms, worthy of the celebrated English Philological Society.
† "Haniel and the difficulties he foretells, represents"—is possibly another specimen of the grammatical accuracy of the Philological Society of London. But the writer is candid enough to believe it may be a typographical error.
erroneous. It is your misfortune to forget the character you profess, and instead of candid criticism, indulge yourselves in the malevolent reflections of peevish politicians. The separation of America from Great Britain wounds the narrow hearts of splenetic English politicians, and the mortifications they have suffered by that event have disordered their minds. They see every thing through the medium of prejudice, and their distempered imaginations convert the most natural appearances into hobgoblins and "chimeras dire."
But, Gentlemen, what have political subjects to do with an Epic Poem? On what authority did you assert that the Conquest of Canaan contains an allegory—that the Americans are described under the character of the Israelites—that Egypt is meant to represent the British government—and Haniel, the Loyalists! Is it any where asserted in the Poem, the preface, or any where else? Have you been informed of it by Dr. Dwight's friends, or by newspaper paragraphs! Gentlemen, your suppositions are without foundation: and to shew how utterly you have mistaken the sense of the author, I will lay before you an extract of a letter written by himself on hearing that the London Reviewers had criticised his Poem on the idea that it is allegorical. He wrote to his informant in these words:
To "SIR, "THE idea of those gentlemen, that the Poem is allegorical, is so far from having a foundation, that until I received your letter, it never entered into my mind, that such an apprehension could be entertained by a man of common sense. Singular jealousy of American resentment, and perhaps a strong consciousness that the oppressive measures of Britain were a striking similarity to the Egyptian abuse, must have originated their view of the Poem. In several particular incidents referred to, especially in the colloquy of the first book, there is, I confess, a considerable resemblance between the case of the Israelites and that of the Americans; and the feelings of the writer may have naturally colored a resemblance still nearer. But I presume the Reviewers must have thought the writer destitute of every critical idea, to imagine the Conquest of a country a proper event, under which to allegorize the defence of another country. "That General Washington should be supposed to resemble Joshua is not strange. They are both great and good characters, acting at the head of armies, and regulating the chief interests of their countrymen. Between such men, in such circumstances a resemblance is almost necessary. "The truth is, the Poem was begun in 1771, and written out, several times before the year 1775—all the essential parts were finished, before the war was begun, and the Poem advertised for the press, during the first year of the war. From these facts, Sir, you will perceive the impossibility of any foundation for the conjecture of the Reviewers."
I am, dear Sir, Your very obliged and most obedient servant, TIMOTHY DWIGHT.
Greenfield, July 6, 1788. To these facts, as stated by the author, many of his friends can bear witness; and the public can testify that proposals for printing the Poem were issued about the commencement of hostilities between Great Britain and America; and the execution of the design was suspended by reason of the war. So little foundation is there for the supposition that the Poem is an allegory. A few passages were introduced after the Poem was supposed to be finished and during the war. Among these, was the passage in which Captain HALE is mentioned. "Thus while fond virtue wish'd in vain to save, HALE, bright and generous, found a hapless grave."
On this passage, you are pleased to remark, that "the verb found seems to want its nominative. We would ask Mr. Dwight, Is it fond virtue, or are Hale, bright and generous personifications that found a hapless grave? To say that the natural construction applies to Avant , is to break Priscian's head with a vengeance. Nor would we have been so particular on this fault, which might pass for inattention, did not similar instances abound in our author; and however he may dread that America should imbrue the vices and corruptions of Great Britain, we would advise him and his brother poets, either to study the English language with more care, or to write their poems in the tongue of their great and good allies, those zealous and disinterested defenders of the liberties of mankind, the French."
What a mixture of ignorance and political spleen! Is it impossible that an English Critic should view the smallest literary production in America, thro' any medium but that of national prejudice? Must every thing have a reference to the late separation of America from Great-Britain, and Frenchmen be lugged into a decision on the merits of an American Poem? Is this the candor and impartiality of a critic—of an English critic?—Is this the boasted liberality of your nation?
But your inattention, Gentlemen, is astonishing. You do not understand the passage on which you have made so many remarks. "The verb found seems to want its nominative." No, Gentlemen, there is no seeming in the passage. Hale, a captain in the American service, a native of Connecticut, a man of noble heart and amiable character, the Andre of our army, and who suffered in New-York the same fate that Andre did in the Highlands, "found a hapless grave." If you were ignorant of this historical fact, you ought at least to have supposed Hale to be the name of a person, especially as Dr. Dwight has informed you in a note on the passage, which you have recited, that "the comparisons of this kind were annexed to the Poem, to indulge the author's own emotions of regard to the persons named in them." As you "advise the American Poets to study the English language with more care," permit me, Gentlemen, to advise the London Reviewers to understand the works they review, before they indulge so much ridicule and severity, or decide with peremptory assurance on the merit of the writings.
In your subsequent remarks you select for criticism such passages of the Poem, as you suppose carry on the allegory, which offends the pride of your nation. On such passages you freely indulge the rancor of your hearts.
But as the allegory is the work of your own invention, you are welcome to attack it with all the earnestness of a Quixotte, engaged with a windmill.
Many of Dr. Dwight's friends will however acknowledge the propriety of the following criticism:—"That in some passages there is a strange confusion of ideas and language—that in others there is a want of perspicuity—that there is too much bustling and killing—that the descriptions are too long, and often abound with repetitions of the same imagery."—To these faults or others we must ascribe the fatigue of reading the Poem, which is generally complained of in America.
You suppose indeed that the allegory of the Poem, which is designed to describe the late revolution, will make it interesting to Americans. I can assure you, Gentlemen, that the Americans never expected such an allegory to exist; nor do they take any uncommon interest in the Poem. They † We have heard King William in this manner called Old Glorious.
think it has much merit—but they see and censure its faults. They do not indeed expect to realize all the happiness anticipated in the tenth book of the Poem; but they cannot think with you that the fictions of a Poet's fancy are subjects of decision. They may at times indulge a political enthusiasm—all nations do the same—it is the spring of heroic actions—it is laudable—but they are philosophic enough to expect that the real greatness and happiness of America will resemble those of other free countries. Nor do they really expect that the eastern continent will be doomed to the most deplorable slavery and misery—on the contrary, they predict that liberty and happiness will increase, in proportion to the progressive improvements in science and commerce.
With an ardent wish that a more liberal Spirit may breathe thro' the English nation, and thro' your future criticisms on American writings, I am, Gentlemen, your very humble servant, An AMERICAN. New-York, July 4, 1788.
We have been requested to publish the following from the Pennsylvania Gazette, of the 23d ult. To the INHABITANTS of the Western Counties of Pennsylvania.
FRIENDS and COUNTRYMEN, THE promotion of harmony and peace throughout the state, must be the cordial desire of every good man. Fatigued as we all are with political discussions, nothing can justify this new call of your attention, but a concern for the ease of mind of our friends and fellow citizens.
A variety of circumstances have contributed to give an unpleasing appearance to parts of the federal constitution—it is my intention decently to examine into some of them, and to pursue the investigation as a high and serious duty, in the performance of which, whatever is disrespectful, unkind, or passionate, would be unworthy and criminal. I conjure you, my countrymen, to exercise your own native sense. I entreat you to remember the dignity of a free people. Do not permit yourselves to form opinions, or to adopt any line of conduct that may affect the public, without cool and serious reflection, in the hour of illness and composure at your own houses. Take care of the flame which may be kindled in your minds at taverns, places of parade, and public meetings.—Remember at these places, too many are affected by the intoxicating draughts, which are always near at hand. The maddening influence of spirituous liquors is not necessary to keep up the almost divine feelings of a freeman. Avoid then, all political meetings, in places that expose the people to these temptations. Meet rather at your court-houses, and your places of worship. JUSTICE will not be offended at the presence of freemen, and the sacred temple of the DEITY himself, will not be profaned by the decent and cool deliberations of the sincere sons of liberty.
In the course of the present year, many errors have been propagated among you. It was said that our neighbors of Maryland would reject the new constitution. Yet you see the most extraordinary unanimity, considering the pains that were taken there, to prove the constitution faulty. Eleven different votes, were all the opposition amounted to, and of these, two of the principal were chosen by counties in which they did not reside, contrary to the usual practice, and to the resolutions of the legislature; and a third was but a short time a citizen of that state.—You were told also, that Virginia would reject, yet you see their convention have adopted the constitution, and all is tranquillity there. You were also told, that New-York would certainly reject without hesitation; yet they have been sitting very long, and have not done so. The people of that state, it is positively asserted, are becoming more favorable to the constitution, as they become more fully acquainted with it. There is no doubt too, that an old party difference in their state politics, has affected the choice of their convention exceedingly, which you know might easily be the case, but this circumstance has no more to do with the qualities of the new constitution, than with those of the holy scriptures.
A good deal of pains have been taken to make you believe, that Congress will have power to regulate the elections of the state legislatures. Nothing is more untrue. The federal legislature can no more regulate the elections of our state representatives, counsellors, &c. than they can regulate those of Holland, England or Ireland. Those who assert that the new federal constitution extends to that point, are either grossly mistaken, or wickedly attempting to deceive you. The meaning of the article about the regulation of elections is this. Your members of the general convention, and those of some other states, saw plainly that Pennsylvania and several other states, had paid up about their proportion of the interest on the continental debts, and that some other states, such as Rhode-Island, had not done the same just thing, and that they omitted to send their delegates to Congress, in order that there might not be a due representation in that body, whereby they might prevent a legal requisition to perform this and other acts of duty, to the union and our foreign friends. This fell hard upon Pennsylvania, and other honest states, and yet the old confederation being defective, in not giving power to Congress to remedy this evil, we must have groaned under the hardship for ever, had not the states adopted that article in the new constitution. Ten of them having ratified it, things stand so now, that if any one refuses or neglects to perform its duty, and does not send members to the senate, nor does not appoint a time for the people to choose their representatives in the federal house, Congress can say, that the people of each election district in each state, shall choose, in their proper district, the federal representatives, to which, by the new constitution and by reason, they are justly entitled.—This is the true meaning of the clause, and it will appear at first view, a great security for the liberty and independence of the whole body of the people.
You have been told also, that after the new constitution takes place, the officers under it, may become perpetual. Now it is fully and absolutely secured, that no Representative, Senator, President or Vice-President, can continue beyond a stipulated time, and if the people think that time too long, they can get their state legislatures to apply for its being shortened. If the legislatures out of thirteen apply this year, or ten years hence, there must be a convention called to consider the point, (or indeed any thing else which you complain of in the constitution) and then, if three fourths of the states approve the alteration, it will be made. But if Congress should want to extend the time of their duration, or wickedly wish to make themselves perpetual, they must get three fourths of the state legislatures to consent to it, before it can take place. I believe no body, therefore, on due reflection, will see any cause to fear Congress will ever be able to render their seats perpetual. It will seem foolish to some of my countrymen to take to much pains to remove this apprehension, because they know there is no danger of any such thing, but I can assure them, that so much deception and mistake has taken place, that there are many worthy inhabitants of our Western counties, that have been made very unhappy on this point.
I want these good people to read the constitution quietly by themselves, and to judge like reasonable and free men, for themselves. I do not want to inflame their passions, nor to hide the subject from them. I wish them to pass a sober, cool, and honest judgment on it. They will see that every man among them, whether protestant or catholic, rich or poor, may be elected. The Assembly may choose any of them a Senator, or the people may choose any of them a federal Representative, or any of them may be chosen Vice-President or President of the United States. Nothing in the constitution forbids it, though they must be sensible, that a man must be very good and very wise, to deserve and receive five great traits from the Assembly and from the people. However, as I said before, any man, rich or poor, protestant or catholic, can be chosen, if he is thought fit by the state legislature, or the people at large, and when he is chosen, nothing can prevent his taking his seat, and performing his high duties. In other countries religious tests would prevent him, though he were ever so wise, ever so good, or ever so much beloved and esteemed. In Spain, a protestant would be disqualified, in Ireland, a protestant or a catholic would be disqualified, in England, a catholic, protestant, or any dissenter from their church, would be disqualified. But our new federal constitution admits all, whether protestant, or catholic, or protestant, or episcopalian, &c. for it expressly lays, there shall be no religious test. Blessed circumstance, for which above all others, the favored people of these states, should raise their grateful voices in praise and thanksgiving, to the author of every good and perfect gift.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in- tends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 22, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfac- tion to those who may please to employ him, (sig- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join an eminent ability to the palm laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 22, with fur- niture, to see the business performed. 2d. To all such a proper dress, in such man- ner, as that very little soot shall be re- gularly swept every month, (or oftener if requi- red) 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 people belonging to this of- fice, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking 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 faulty 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 aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
