BALTIMORE, September 2. A correspondent has favored us with the following copy of an address, presented to the Royal Society of London, by the Chevalier Quesnay de Beaurepaire, President and Founder of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Richmond, in Virginia.
THOUGH several Literary and Philosophical Societies have at different times been established within the United States of America, there was none to the Southward of Philadelphia, until the year 1786, when a considerable number of the most respectable and best qualified inhabitants of Virginia, founded a Society of Sciences and Arts...
the first members of this society, who also elected a council for administering the affairs thereof. This society consists of home members, honorary associates, and foreign members, who by their labors, meetings, and communications, are engaged in the advancement of science, and more especially in promoting natural knowledge...
A plan of this institution having been submitted to the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, was on the 14th of March, 1788, honored with the special approbation of that learned body; many of whose members, particularly Mr. de Lamoignon de Malherbes, the Duke de la Rochefoucault, the Marquis de Condorcet, Marquis de La Billarderie, successor of Mr. de Buffon, Messrs. Daubenton, Lavoisier, Vicq d'Azir, Sage, de la Lande, Fourcroy, Thouin, Tenon, le Roi, Brissot, Du Tillet, abbe Rochon, &c. &c. have honored the academy of Richmond, by adding their names to the list of its foreign members...
The Chevalier Quesnay de Beaurepaire is the descendant of a gentleman venerable for his excellent qualities as a man, and universally distinguished and respected for his abilities as a philosopher. The Chevalier served as an officer in the life-guards of the king of France, when the late war in this country offered a fortunate occasion to those whose spirit impelled to signalize themselves in the career of glory...
Such a flattering sensation must be highly gratifying to Mr. Quesnay, and must amply compensate for the vast trouble the Institution has cost him. And here permit us to congratulate our Countrymen on the opening prospect of the future grandeur of American Science. Already has our country afforded brilliant specimens of exalted Genius; and when an opportunity to inviting and so favorable to the culture of the latent seeds of Science offers, we too may hope to boast of our Newtons, our Bacons, and our Miltons.
the Society, together with an account of his Proceedings and success, and a list of the members and subscribers. We wait with impatience to announce the appearance of a work, which must afford infinite pleasure to all who wish for the elevation of this country.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9. A Message from the President and the Supreme Executive Council to the General Assembly, Gentlemen, THE daring insult offered to the laws of the state during the recess of your honorable House, by the insurgents of Wyoming, in carrying off the person of Timothy Pickering, Esq. Prothonotary of the County, called for the immediate interposition of Government; more especially as there was no knowing to what further lengths their outrages might be carried, unless speedily checked.
In order to carry into effect your resolution of the twenty-seventh of March last, respecting the seventeen enumerated townships. We appointed Col. Stephen Ballot and Major W. Armstrong, commissioners to ascertain the quantity and quality of the particular tracts of land contained in the said townships. To their report, marked No. 2, we beg leave to refer you.
In compliance with your resolution of the 29th of February last, we have negotiated, by means of our Delegates in Congress, with the United States for the tract of country, which on actual survey may appear to be their property, on Lake Erie, adjoining the northern boundary of this state. The report, with the documents on which the same is founded, are contained in the bundle No. 3.
The lowering the terms of lands in the New-Purchase, and freeing the surplus of the donation lands from the appropriations by which they are bound, are matters in our opinion worthy the attention of the House; by these means not only an old fund would be rendered productive, but a new one will be opened.
Impositions are practised by person selling adulterated plate. An office erected for the purpose of assaying and stamping all plate offered for sale, would tend to prevent fraud, and give security to the purchasers of that article. The disabled Pensioners have lately been paid out of the unappropriated funds of the state. It appears that these funds are insufficient to discharge the demands made on them, and if the pensions are continued to be paid, some other provision is necessary.
The magazine for storing of gun-powder in this city is not only improperly situated, with respect to the town, but too small to contain the quantities now imported and manufactured in the neighborhood. We therefore think a revision and alteration of the law passed the 28th of March, 1787, respecting gun-powder, is now highly necessary.
The depreciation of our paper money, calls for the attention of the legislature. We wish for a conference with a committee of your honorable House on this important subject. We have called upon the respective county lieutenants for returns of persons subject to the performance of militia duties, and of those who have actually attended on muster-days, agreeably to your resolution of the 29th day of March last; these returns shall be laid before the General Assembly as soon as they come to hand. We also herewith communicate a resolution of Congress, dated July 11, 1788, respecting pensioners. An extract of a letter from gen. Harman, dated June 30, 1788. Copies of the ratification of the federal constitution by the States of Virginia, S. Carolina, and N. York, with amendment proposed by Virginia & New-York. Also a letter from the president of the convention of North Carolina, inclosing the proceedings of the said convention. A letter from Thomas Paine, Esq. dated at Paris, May 4, 1788, inclosing the opinion of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, on the principles and construction of the model for a bridge over the Schuylkill. A letter from general St. Clair, of July 4, and a resolution of Congress, of August 12, 1788, relative to the holding in readiness the militia on the frontiers to act in conjunction with the Federal troops in defending the western country against Indian hostilities. Two letters from Charles Thomson, Esq. secretary of Congress, dated the 27th and 25th days of August, 1788, the one inclosing a copy of the journal of Congress from the commencement of the federal year, to the 20th of August, 1788, and the other inclosing a requisition of the United States in Congress assembled, for the year 1788, and a memorial from captain John Armstrong. Council-Chamber, Philadelphia, Sept. 6, 1788. B. FRANKLIN.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 12.
A Halifax paper of August 21st has the following: — Tuesday last arrived here his Majesty's ship Restaurateur, Capt. Minchin, with two American vessels, taken at Crow Harbour, for trading contrary to the treaty of peace; one of them is the Schooner Polly, Capt. Clark, belonging to Boston; the other is the Schooner Nancy, Capt. Saunders from Rhode-Island.
Same paper announces the arrival there of Prince William Henry, in the Andromeda frigate.
While the hostile nations of Europe are involving themselves still more and more in rapine and slaughter, and are striving which shall have the pre-eminence, the Infidel, or the Christian, we, the citizens of the United States, being highly favored by a superintending Providence, are peaceably convening, to the wise and good purpose of ratifying and confirming a system of politics, which will eventually be productive of the happiest consequences to ourselves and posterity. True it is, that the federal constitution has had many opposers, but they are now not so numerous—those clouds of prejudice in which the minds of numbers have been involved, are now happily removed, and they are willing to exert their influence (to their honor be it spoken) for promoting peace and harmony among the citizens.
"Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, died, at Poughkeepsie, after a short illness, Doctor CHARLES BROOKS, Surgeon to Col. Bunker's regiment, in the 24th year of his age, leaving a wife and one child, with a large number of relatives and friends to bemoan his early departure from this life. An elegant sermon was yesterday preached at the Episcopal church, by the Rev. Mr. Van Dyck, on the occasion; after which his remains were put into a carriage, and conveyed to the family burying ground, at Crom Elbow, where they were decently interred, attended by a numerous collection of friends."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kentucky to his friend in Winchester.
"It is with pleasure I embrace the earliest opportunity of acquainting you of our arrival in this country. Our march to Fort Pitt was not the most agreeable—the weather was wet, and the road excessive muddy—but our own sufferings would scarcely deserve the name, compared with the distresses of others, and I will defy any person, whose heart is not composed of adamant, to have suppressed the tear of pity, on beholding what I am about to relate. One cold wet day, on the Allegany mountain, a family, consisting of a man, his wife, about half a dozen girls, and a small boy, were ascending a steep, muddy and stoney hill, (their property consisted of a small cart, drawn by a very poor horse, two pots, a frying pan, some provisions, and a few bed cloaths) before they had advanced many steps their horse stopped, and they were obliged to take out a pot, to guard which one of the females was left; a few steps higher they found it necessary to take out the other pot; in short, before they had gained the summit, the whole family were dispersed, the mother with the empty cart and the horse tired—to add to the distresses of these poor people, a heavy shower of rain fell at the instant—never were a set of mortals in a more pitiable condition. Surely you will say there must be some magic charm, some unaccountable infatuation, which leads poor souls through thick and thin to an imaginary enjoyment of the Western country,—but it is not, my friend, only imaginary—what would I not give to have your company only for one week—I would shew you nature and nature's works in perfection."
Extract of a letter from Pittsburgh, August 30.
"Accounts of the 14th, by express from the Indian country, mention, that the different nations will shortly meet at the great Miami, and in a few days proceed to the Muskingum to their treaty, and so far as can yet be learned they are fully disposed to be at peace with the United States. They further add, that the soldier lately taken from the Falls of Muskingum is given up at Michelanackena, and is now on his way to join his corps, and that every thing now wears the aspect of accommodation."
THE Creditors of WILLIAM GOFORTH, are desired to meet at Bruford's Tavern, corner of the Old Slip and Front-Street, This Evening, at 6 o'clock.
At a meeting of the Society, for the Relief of DISTRESSED DEBTORS, held at the House of Mr. JOHN SIMMONS, the fourth day of September, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight. (On Emergency.) JONATHAN LAWRENCE, Esquire, President for the evening.
THE Committee of Visitation reporting, that from the great number of Persons relieved, the Funds of the Society were totally exhausted. That there were several Distressed Debtors in Prison, who had no other Subsistence, but what was derived from this Body: and that without such aid, they must want the common necessaries of life. And the said Committee farther reporting that it would be necessary for the Society, to procure a quantity of Fire-Wood for the benefit of the Prisoners the ensuing Winter; and that, were the means in the power of the Society, the same might be purchased at present, at a very low rate:—Whereupon, on motion, It is unanimously voted, that the Clergy in this City, be earnestly requested, to preach Charity Sermons in their respective Churches, for promoting the important and benevolent purposes of the Society. And that Dr. RODGERS, Mr. LINN, Mr. BEACH, and Dr. KUNZE be a Committee for making the necessary arrangements to carry the same into effect. Published by order of the Society. W. COCK, Secretary.
