A FEDERAL SONG.
To the Tune of "Rule Britannia."
BEHOLD Columbia's empire rise! On freedom's base its pillars stand, Supported by propitious skies, And seal'd by her deliv'rer's hand. Chorus.—Rise, Columbia, raise thy voice; Union is thy noble choice. II. Her heroes blood, her glorious pains, Her toils are all rewarded now: Montgomery's shade no more complains; Warren's and Green's consenting bow. III. A federal system scarce appear'd, When baneful discord droop'd her head; Licentiousness no more was fear'd, The demon lost her native dread. IV. The hero, statesman, and the sage, Matur'd this noblest work of man, And HAMILTON's instructive page, Illumes his fellow-patriot's plan. V. Proud Europe hence may learn, and see, A Constitution self-controll'd, By wisdom balanc'd, firm and free, The dread and model of the world. VI. Columbia's grateful sons, rejoice! The Federal Pillars firmly stand; By your approving people's voice, Tho' only charter of the land. * Alluding to General WASHINGTON's subscribing the Constitution, as President of the Convention.
OBSERVATIONS on TUNIS, &c.
(From our last.)
THE very reverse is practised by the English— Consuls are sent out with small salaries, and some without any. They are permitted to trade; their offices gives them credit, and protects their persons from arrest; they are liable, by misfortune in business, and often, by misconduct, to become bankrupts. This hurts the dignity of the nation, and makes it a reproach in foreign countries. In the course of very few years, several British Consuls have become bankrupts, and, making most shameful dividends to their creditors, have been even pointed at, as they went through the streets, with "there goes the bankrupt Consul!"
The English Consul appoints his Vice Consul, who has a very poor pittance arising from perquisites and other small fees of office; and as he is liable to be dismissed by his Superior, on the most trifling occasion, can be no manner of check on the Consul.
As an Englishman, jealous of my country's honor, I should be happy to see these matters under some better regulation, being persuaded if they are not, the little trade remaining to us in the Mediterranean and Levant, will, in a short time, be entirely lost. The British nation formerly possessed a great share of this trade, but it is now dwindled to a shadow; and, I may venture to say, by bad management alone. On my return to England I was extremely concerned to find that board of trade abolished; an institution, if well directed, essentially necessary to a country like ours: I am of opinion if it was again established, and proper persons, well acquainted with commerce, to preside, it would be attended with great advantages, particularly at this time, when new systems of trade are forming, which will in a great measure change the face of commercial affairs, not only in the east, but in many other parts of the world.
I beg leave to add, for the information of such of my readers who have not visited Marseilles, that from eight hundred to one thousand vessels are employed from this port, in the Mediterranean and Levant trade, making several voyages in the year.
It is imagined that France gains more by this than by any other branch of her commerce; the quantities of woollen cloth shipped from Marseilles are scarcely credible, the whole Levant being clothed by the French.
Their local situation, it must be confessed, gives them great advantages over the English; but these have been strengthened by proper attentions paid to their articles, particularly to the colors of their cloths, which are in great esteem among the Turks.
They import to Tunis Spanish wool, coffee, sugar, spices, cloths, linen, and a great variety of other goods: exporting corn, oil, wax, hides, silk, and other commodities, the produce of the country. I am sorry to say, there is not an English commercial house, of any degree of note, from Algiers to Alexandria in Egypt.
The Spanish wool is worked up into Berretti, or small skull caps by the Tunis cap-makers, which indeed makes one of their principal staple manufactures: the blankets, bylacs, bynooses, and other woollens, being chiefly made at Sula, Max, and along the eastern coast.
There are looms for silks, velvets, &c. but as these articles are not made in sufficient quantities for their own consumption, they are chiefly supplied from France.
Barda, the residence of the Bey, two miles West from Tunis, is a spacious and handsome palace; the court large and surrounded by a cloister, adorned with marble columns carved at Genoa. The apartments are good and elegantly furnished: upon the whole, it is by much the best residence in Barbary.
The late Bey was a quiet peaceable old man, living in great amity with the European powers; discountenancing as much as possible, the fitting out cruizers against them, as he rather wished to encourage a spirit of commerce in his dominions. He administered justice personally to his subjects; each party pleaded his own cause, and the Bey decided with, "you are right," and "you are wrong;" determining the difference without further trouble or appeal; for, to their praise, be it spoken, they know nothing of the chicanery of the law, which though with us the price of liberty, in a great measure, is a heavy tax on individuals under pretence of being for the security of the whole.
The dignity of Bey is hereditary, and his power absolute, though they have a Regency or Dowan, but it is rarely summoned. The tribute of the country is collected by two flying camps, which take the winter and summer circuits: the tribute being paid in money, grain, cattle or kind, according to the abilities of the people. Mustapha Coja, the Prime Minister, who married the daughter of the late Bey, is a very intelligent man, much beyond the generality of the Moors. The late Bey was quietly succeeded, by his son, a circumstance which has not happened for many years.
Four miles from Barda, and six from Tunis, is Manuba, a country house belonging to the Bey, built by Hassan, a good and generous prince, about forty years since. Here is a noble range of an ac-
queduct half a mile in length, sixty feet high, and entire; the channel in which the water ran is three feet in depth.
Hamman Leef, twelve miles East from Tunis, is noted for its hot baths, which are much resorted to by the Tunisians, and are efficacious in rheumatic and many other complaints. Here the Bey has a very fine bath, which he frequently permits the Consuls and other persons of distinction to use. On entering the water, you at first imagine it too hot, but within two minutes perspiration commonly succeeds, and you feel a singularly pleasing sensation. Ten minutes are sufficient to remain in the bath. There are places raised round to lay the mattrasses; a large Moorish blanket being spread double, the patient enters between the folds, the sweat pouring out very copiously for half an hour. Half a quarter of a mile from this bath is another source, which rises in the open air, but is too hot for bathing. The water has a purgative quality, and the patient generally begins with drinking it two or three days before he uses the bath. Snakes, frogs, and other reptiles, thrown into this water, die immediately. No accommodations are to be had at this place, so that the patient is obliged to carry every necessary along with him. [To be continued.]
A L B A N Y, August 7.
On Saturday, the 26th ult. as Mr. Henry Hart, of Fort-Edward (formerly of this city, merchant) was removing some lumber from below his saw-mill, the water (which at that time was rising very fast) burst open the water-gate of the said mill and came with such impetuosity, that before he had time to extricate himself he was hurried away by the current, and embosomed in a watery grave.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, August 13.
The Maryland Gazette of Friday last, has the following articles.
"It appears that in October last, a number of convicts (106 men and 25 women) were shipped from Dublin, on board the brig Chance, commanded by Capt. Stafford, who landed about 73 of them on a desert island, called Havango, from whence they were taken and carried to the island of New-Providence, where they remained, until 22 of them, 14 men and 8 women, were shipped on the 17th July, by the permission of Lord Dunmore, for Baltimore-Town, together with 5 other persons, 4 men and 1 woman, who, we believe, were convicted in New-Providence, on board the schooner Prince William Henry, of which William Thompson was the master, and John Kelso, the supercargo, for Isaac Keating, of New-Providence, the owner of the said schooner. There is also on board a child of one of the convict women."
"The schooner arrived at this port last Sunday evening, without any register, and was refused an entry. Captain Thompson gives a probable account of his becoming the master of the vessel, and represented her as unfit for sea, wanting a fore-sail and jib, and provisions. The supercargo seems greatly to blame."
"The sale, or landing of the felons in this place, was not permitted. The vessel, captain, supercargo and felons, with all the papers, were sent to his Excellency the Governor, to take such orders as may be consistent with the safety of the citizens and the dignity of government, which we think most grossly insulted by Lord Dunmore."
"Every man, 'says a celebrated writer,' is proud of being thought capable of love; and none more so than those who have the least title to the name of lover; those whom the French call les hommes des galanterie, whose only happiness is in variety, and to whom the greatest beauty and mental accomplishments lose every charm, after a few months enjoyment. Their satietty they scruple not to confess, but are not aware, that in doing so, they also confess that the principle which inspired their passion was gross and selfish. To constitute a genuine love, requires a nobleness and goodness of heart, totally incompatible with an ungenerous mind. The youthful fever of the veins, may, for a while, inspire an attachment to a particular object; but an affection unchangeable and sincere, can only spring from a bosom possessed of the finest feelings and of every virtue."
Yesterday morning died, on his way to this city, the Hon WILLIAM CHURCHILL HOUSTON, Esq. late of Trenton, formerly one of the Representatives in Congress from the State of New-Jersey.

Yesterday, his Excellency the Governor, Ezra L'HOMME DIEU, Egbert Benton, William Floyd, Richard Varick, and Samuel Jones, Esquires, six of the Commissioners appointed by an act of the Legislature at their last session, for holding treaties with the Indians;—set off for Fort Schuyler, where, we are informed, a treaty is to be held with the Indians, about the 25th instant.
On the 27th of July last, was drowned in Nanticoke-Creek, about 30 miles above Tioga-point, on the Susquehannah, a man by the name of ————— COUNTRYMEN, said to belong to Elspus, in Ulster county, in this State: He was on his return from Niagara, and had with him a horse and pack, supposed to contain furs. His body was found two days after, and decently interred by a Mr. Rose, living at the said Nanticoke Creek, in whose possession the horse, pack and cloaths belonging to Mr. Countrymen now are.
On or about the 7th of March last, Mr. James Barrit, of Frederickiburg, in Dutchess county, with six of his children, were bit by a small puppy belonging to Mr. Barrit. They supposed the crookedness of the dog was owing to the children petting him; he however killed him, previous to which he had bit a cat, which soon ran mad—this gave them some alarm: The bites however had no apparent effect on either of them until the 27th of July last, at which time one of the children, a lad in the 11th year of his age, who was bit the worst, was taken with exquisite pain in the knee and leg which had been bit; from thence communicating into all parts of the body, and more especially the head, which was much swelled. On the 28th he appeared stupid and senseless—on the 29th he was in great distress, and at times bereaved of his senses—on the 30th he was at times raving, running about the house, at others senseless, and would beg for water, but could not drink. Thus he remained in the utmost distress imaginable, until the morning of the 31st. when he expired, leaving his relatives to lament the loss, under fearful apprehensions of soon sharing the same fate.
Yesterday arrived the ship Hercules, —————, in 4 weeks from Antigua.
Red-Point, August 7, 1788.
On Wednesday the 6th instant, a number of gentlemen met at the house of Mr. Thomas Swart, at Red-Point, in Rhinebeck precinct, for the purpose of celebrating the adoption of the Federal Constitution by eleven States, and spending the day in a sociable and harmonious manner, imitating the Calumet of Peace, and burying in oblivion all distinctions of party. After dinner the following
toasts were drank, under the discharge of a piece of artillery, and the business of the day concluded with the utmost cheerfulness and festivity.
1. The United States of America. 2. The President and Members of the General Convention. 3. The States which have adopted the Federal Constitution. 4. May the Citizens of the United States ever have reason to commemorate the 17th of September, 1787. 5. May the Olive be ingrafted on the Laurel, and Victory ever be made the Handmaid of Peace. 6. His most Christian Majesty, and the friendly Powers of Europe. 7. May Party Spirit cease, and all Classes unite to smite the Calumet of Peace. 8. May Wisdom in Council, and Activity in the Field, ever characterize the People of America. 9. The Convention of the State of New-York. 10. The Members of Dutchess who were in the Majority of the Convention. 11. The virtuous Minority of Rhode-Island.
VOLUNTEER TOASTS. May North-Carolina speedily become the Twelfth Pillar in the Federal Edifice. Peace to all Mankind.
Poughkeepsie Prison, August, 7, 1788.
The unfortunate Prisoners confined in Dutchess county Prison, return their sincere and unfeigned thanks to the GENTLEMEN and LADIES, whose lovely feelings could commiserate others woes so far, as to induce them to lodge a sum of Money in the hands of the Honorable JUDGE PLATT, in order to alleviate the dire pangs of Confinement and Penury.

Extract of a letter from Danfries, (Virginia), dated, August 4, 1788.
"This day arrived here, the ship Sally, Capt. Gilkison, of this place, from Havre-de-Grace. On the 24th of July, spoke the Betsey, Woodburn, from New York, for the Cape de Verd Islands, out 8 days, lat. 33, long. 67, all well."
"Captain Gilkison says, there was nothing of the late storm in that quarter—remarkably fine weather at sea, about the time of the storm on the coast."
For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
AS the alteration of the pavement in Wall-street has begun, those whose duty it is, should take care to avoid such errors and blunders, as are daily committed in the new pavement of the different streets where improvements have been attempted. Broad-Way is wretchedly mismanaged.—This should be enquired into.—From whence does it arise?—Is the Common Council in fault?—Is the Surveyor to blame?—Or is it occasioned by the inhabitants immediately interested? If by the latter, they have been misled, for they must be assessed anew, perhaps the ensuing year, to remedy the defects in the present ill-executed alteration. Why should this be?—Should the heavy assessments raised upon the owners of houses, many of whom are ill able to afford it, be squandered by ignorance and stupidity?—Are the finest streets in the city to be thus destroyed, and that too, at an expence, sufficient to form them on a plan conducive to public ornament and convenience?—Let us not complain then of taxes, when we are able to lavish sums to create nuisances. August 14.
A N E C D O T E.
A private letter from Heffe Cassel relates the following anecdote:—The Landgrave exercising one of his regiments, was displeased with a Captain and cased him; the officer struck the spontaneous in the earth, and went home; the Landgrave reflecting on what he had done, sent a Colonel's commission to the Captain in about an hour after, which the Captain received with much coolness, and said, "I will wait on the Landgrave myself to thank him." Soon after he arrived, he said, "Sir, I do not come to thank you; I stand in no need of your favour; I despise it; because you have taken my honor from me, which to me is more precious than life;" at that instant he drew forth a pistol, and firing it through the window, said "this was designed for you, Sir, were you not my Sovereign Prince," then took out a second, and shot himself in the presence of the Landgrave! The Landgrave ordered the corpse to be thrown out of the window, and commanded it to be interred by the common hangman (which on the Continent is the greatest mark of infamy); however, his orders were not obeyed, for the whole garrison became so mutinous, that the Landgrave was under the necessity of ordering the officer to be buried with all military honours.
A Remarkable Anecdote of the Peter Great, Czar of Muscovy.
Mr. Strahlenbergh tells us, that when the Czar was about five years of age, his mother went with him in a coach in the spring season, and passing over a dam where there was a water-fall, or cat-ract, which made a great noise, and he lying in his mother's lap asleep, he was so frightened by the rushing of the water, that it brought a fever upon him; and though he soon recovered this, yet he retained such a dread of water, that he could never bear to see any standing water much less any running water, without the greatest uneasiness. This continuing till he was 14 years of age, was a very great grief and trouble to his mother, as well as to his brother Czar Iwan, who feared it would be a great prejudice to him sooner or later, when he should come to the Crown. But Prince Boris Galitzen, who was his chief governor, happily thought of a method of curing this extraordinary antipathy. He persuaded his pupil, it being fine weather, to go with him into the country, to a hunting march which he had appointed there; but the young Czar did not know that there was a brook near the place. After a little diversion in hunting, Galitzen said, "It is very hot weather, I wish there was a brook in the neighborhood; I would go in and bathe." "What (said the young Prince) would you kill yourself?" Boris answered, "I have frequently bathed with your late father, and yet I am alive still;" adding that it was very wholesome to bathe in hot weather. The Czar in surprise declared, that he had heard that people were frequently drowned. "Well, but, (said the Governor) how can a man be drowned, when the water is not above his knees? If it please your majesty, I will send somebody to find out a brook, and you shall see that it is possible to bathe without drowning."
Accordingly he sent a gentleman of the bed chamber; who, on his return, reported, that not far from thence there was a brook. The Czar went thither, but approached with fear and trembling, and stopped his horse. Prince Boris sent some men thither, ordered them to cross the water forwards and backwards, and then to return and shew themselves, that they were all alive and safe. After this the Czar ventured to ride nearer; upon which Galitzen with his horse crossed the water himself, and ordered some of his people to alight from their horses, and go bare-footed through, which the Czar admired at, and had at last courage to go through it himself with his horse, to the great admiration of all present. After this cure
of his dread of water, he returned to the palace well pleased, and told it to his mother and his brother Iwan, who could hardly believe it, so great was their joy.
Some days after, Czar Iwan went with his brother Peter to a summer place called Izmelowna, where there are a great many fish ponds; and after they had diverted themselves in the garden, he ordered some of his servants to bathe in a pond, and they would look on: Czar Peter forbid it; however Iwan persuaded him at length to consent. The young men being very merry in the water, it pleased their sovereign so well, that he had a mind to try it himself; to which Czar Iwan encouraged him and by that means he got rid at once of all that fear of water with which he had been so long before possessed.
On this short narrative we have only to remark, that the victory here obtained is but one of many instances occurring in the life of this great Prince, of that heroic resolution and intrepidity, which actuated his whole conduct, which will always stimulate the noble mind to oppose every unworthy obstacle; and which extended still further and exerted in matters of the utmost importance in life will enable the soul to overcome and to contemn every sordid gratification and affection.

BRACHYGRAPHY.
Mr. SARJEANT,
LATE Assistant Teacher at the PRINCE of WALES's MILITARY ACADEMY at Kensington, near London, proposes to give a course of instructions in SHORT HAND WRITING, after the method of Mr. GURNEY, in this city.
Of the utility of the art to Gentlemen of the LEARNED PROFESSIONS, nothing needs be asserted, nor of the superiority of this system to any other; a system known to be in general estimation wherever the English language is spoken; and to unite the different excellencies of EXPEDITION and LEGIBILITY; a system, the result of FIFTY years PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE in the different English Courts of Judicature, &c. and now reduced to such a degree of perfection, as to be scarcely capable of further improvement.
A convenient room for the purpose is already engaged, and the hours of attendance will be made agreeable to the pupils. The theory and practice will each consist of SIX LESSONS. The terms ONE GUINEA; or HALF A JOE from those who are waited upon at their houses.
As Mr. Sarjeant's avocations in the city of Philadelphia require his return in twelve or fourteen days, he flatters himself that those Ladies or Gentlemen who intend to honor him with their attendance, will be as early as possible in their application. No. 32, Smith-street. August 8. 3t

The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-land; the Land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence.

The Inhabitants of the City of
NEW-YORK
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 unremitted assiduity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, 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 distinguishing 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 allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys 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 people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment 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 whole 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-mentioned place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.

A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor one story and a half high, a fine cellar, a large store room fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn a fine stand for trade or any public business, there having a store been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several districts and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated, where three roads meet, and the best stand of trade, I dare say, of any in the country, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door. Also, the convenience of a GRIST MILL, with a fine stream of water, and the haul of a new Dutch SAW MILL, adjoining the door, where 3000 logs can be sawed in a season, and plenty of timber. The above place has been let a number of years for about $800. a year, and will now be sold lower than any person can expect, the situation and value considered. Also, a large and elegant BRICK HOUSE, situated at Schoenack, on the bank of Hudson's river, 51 feet in length, and 31 in breadth, two floors and a half, high, 4 rooms on a floor, with a kitchen and cellar under the whole, and a fine water lot, the best in Schoenack, commands a fine prospect up and down the river of several miles distance, and a fine stand for trade; a new barn, fine well of water, and a beautiful garden spot. Any person chusing to purchase either of the above places, on paying one quarter of the money down, may almost have their own time of payment for the remainder, or goods will be taken at cash price, and a good title will be given for either, or both places.
