Mr. CHILDS, If any of your correspondents will give a solution to the following Riddle, they will oblige your humble servant, M. C. P.  The staff of life my parent was, Earth was my nat'ral bed; By how degrees my strength encreas'd, Till plenty crown'd my head.  But of that plenty spoil'd, A useless heap I lay; Till art perciv'd with wond'rous power, And pav'd my fortune's way.  Now honor'd by the lovely maid, Through Sylvan scenes I rove; With her to pulling streams I stray; With her to seek the grove.  In all her rural walks around, I'm grateful for the favor; Her temples I with joy surround, And from the sun-beams save her.  March 5.
P E T E R S B U R G, Feb. 14. Monday last being the 11th of February, a number of gentlemen assembled at Mr. Hart's Tavern, where an entertainment was provided for the purpose of celebrat- ing the birth of the illustrious George Wash- ington, Esq. — After dinner, 13 toasts were drank, attended with the discharge of cannon, &c. — In the evening the town was illuminated; and an elegant ball was provided at the Mason's hall, at which were present a brilliant company of ladies and gentlemen.
N E W B E R N, Feb. 6. N O T I C E Is hereby given to the Freeholders and Freemen of the county of Craven, and town of Newbern, that a poll will be opened at the Court-House in the town of Newbern, on the last Friday and Saturday in March next, for electing five Delegates for the coun- ty, and one for the town, to represent the said county and town in the State Conven- tion — Of which all concerned are request- ed to take notice. Feb. 1. J. C. BRYAN, Sheriff.
Y O R K, (Pennsylvania) Feb. 20. Yesterday morning before break of day, broke out of this gaol, eight persons, five white and three black — some of whom were confined for capital offences. We have not yet had a particular description of those persons to society, but the public are cauti- oned, as friends to justice, to have a parti- cular eye on all vagrants destitute of passes. The visage of indigence and confinement is depicted in most of their countenances. We are happy to announce, that the five above white men were yesterday afternoon apprehended, and safely lodged in gaol, where, it is not to be doubted, proper mea- sures will be taken to prevent them from a second excursion; and it is to be hoped, they all will be secured in like manner shortly, as we can assure the public, that there is a strict search made after them.
New-York, March 6. The Revenue arising from the Customs a- lone will amount to more than sixty thou- sand pounds. It fortunately happens for the Creditors of the State of New-York, that Congress not made any requisition for the service of the last year, in money. It follows, that all the Revenue arising from the Customs may be used in discharge of the interest on the State Debt. Report says, that the Members, who were anxious to procure a Convention of the People, for considering a new Constitution, having ef- fected a measure they had much at heart, are now as anxious to get home; but we would not so far insult their judgment, to suppose them indifferent and negligent of what so materially affects their fellow-citi- zens, as to leave all the resources of the State unappropriated. If the Gentleman, who has shown such a laudable solicitude for the credit of the State of New-York, in her exports of Beef and Pork (for which service he merits the thanks of many) would now turn his thoughts to the preservation of State Credit, retrieve her finances, assist the distressed her Creditors, and pursue the business with that ardor and perseverance he has shown in the articles above-mentioned. He would not only merit, but receive the thanks of thousands. Some of his colleagues would assist him; nor could any refuse their aid to rescue the little all of many families, from becoming the spoil of speculators and bro- kers. Perhaps no State in the Union, is in a better situation, with respect to Internal Debt, than that of New-York. It has wisely made rapid exertions to avail itself of the low price of Continental Debt; and has actually collected a sum, equal to the State's full proportion of the Domestic
Debt of the United States. It is true, the particular Debt of the State, is by this means increased, and the Creditor has been delu- ded by promises, the State could not punc- tually perform. The Creditors may now, however, hope a speedy completion of ev- ery promise made them. The means are abundant, nor can it be doubted, but the Legislature now assembled, will, in their wisdom apply them in such a manner, as shall give general approbation. His Excellency Governor Clinton was well informed, when he acquainted the Legislature, that much of the Revenues of the State might be applied to the relief of its Creditors. The Treasurer's Report ful- ly justifies his recommendation; it must be evident to every intelligent mind, that he had taken some pains to be well informed. At the same time that the information does credit to his Excellency in his official capac- ity, it does equal credit to his humanity. He knew the wants and distresses of many of his fellow citizens, and was happy in an opportunity of holding out some relief to a deserving set of men.
A gentleman who arrived at Salem a few days since, in a vessel from Bourbon Isle, in the Indian Ocean, informs, that it was re- ported there, that Captain Bell, in a ship from Philadelphia, arrived at Pondicherry in June last. A letter from Martinico, received by the sloop Free-Mason, Capt. Welden, arrived at Martha's Vineyard from St. Pierre, gives an account of forty-eight American vessels, belonging to Eastern ports, being in that harbor on the 8th of January; at which time fish was in very little demand, and bu- siness dull. The brig Marquis de la Fayette had ar- rived at Martinico from Cape de Verd, and failed for another island. By letters from Capt. John Peck, of the brig Sally, of New-Haven, dated Madeira, Jan. 6, 1783, we have an account of the loss of his vessel and cargo, at that island, on the 9th of December last, in a violent gale of wind. The lives of the people were saved with much difficulty. Five other vessels went ashore at the same time and were lost. Capt. Peck has lost Mr. Bolter, his second mate, and two of his hands by sickness, since he failed from New-Haven. DIED, at Morris-Town, New-Jersey, the 23d. ult.

From a Boston Paper, of Feb. 27. NEW-HAMPSHIRE CONVENTION In order to give time to those Delegates in the Convention of New-Hampshire, who were instructed to vote against the Constitution, to return home, and get their instructions taken off, that Hon. Body, on Friday last, adjourned, to meet at Concord, in that State, on the 3d Wed- nesday in June next. No other ques- tion was taken. This being the truth, to endeavor by the publication of a contrary report, as was the case in the Herald of Monday last, wickedly to deceive the pub- lic, argues a depravity of mind, which, until the days of Anti-Federalism, was un- known in the world; and instead of call- ing forth the sympathy of the public, for the misfortune of erroneous judgment, will induce them to wish, and to endeavor, that the sphere of circulation of the paper thus employed, narrow as it is, may yet be contracted. No one circumstance attending the dis- cussion of the proposed Federal Constituti- on, has demonstrated its superior excel- lence and perfection more than the mea- sure of adjournment, adopted by the Con- vention of New-Hampshire, last week, if we consider the situation of affairs there re- specting it. — Almost the whole of that State is inland, and a great part of it re- mote from the regular channels of infor- mation — by far the greater part of the people had not seen it, and received their information of it from factious Demagogues and Popularity-Seekers, who had rode through the back parts of the State, in- flaming and prejudicing the people's minds against it. While under this infatuation, they chose Delegates to meet in Conven- tion, and bound them by INSTRUCTI- ONS to vote against it — and no Delegate would have consented to have acted under such instructions, unless his sentiments on the subject were in unison with those of his constituents. This being the case, on the meeting of the Convention, a majority (all of whom were from the remote parts of the State) were found opposed to the adoption of the Constitution. — It was, however, discussed for several days, and such lights thrown on the subject — and so many objections ob- viated, as induced many, thus instructed, and who had considered the Constitution as dangerous, to change their sentiments. — But these considering their instructions sacred, could not, on conviction, vote for it — and their consciences forbid their vot- ing against it. — What was now the alter-
native? Either to reject the Constitution (which they certainly would have done, had their opinions of it continued the same) or for those thus convinced, (who with those originally in favor of it, made a con- siderable majority) to return home to their constituents — acquaint them of the con- viction that had arisen in their minds, and of the arguments which produced it — and to prevail on them to annul the instructi- ons, which bound them to act contrary to their opinions. The latter was thought the most proper — and, therefore, the Con- vention adjourned to a distant day, to give time for the circulation in every part of the State, of the information and arguments, which had thus proved convincing to the members of the Convention — and as the Conventions of several of the States are not to meet until June, no delay it was thought would arise from adjourning to the third Wednesday of that month, which was agreed to by a considerable majority. — From this statement — we may venture to assert, that the cause of Federalism, in New-Hampshire, will not suffer a diminu- tion — and that their Pillar of the Federal Edifice, THOUGH IT NOW REST- ETH, WILL MOST ASSUREDLY RISE.
A N E C D O T E. Mr. B., who has the honor to shave the head of the State, some evenings since, speaking of the new Federal Constitution, declared to the surrounding Gentlemen of the strap, that should New-York be weak enough to adopt it, he would instantly leave the State, and seek an asylum in some other, where his rank and emoluments would stand on a firmer basis; and where, if in the course of his profession, he should ar- rive to the dignity of being seated in the Chair of State, he need not fear being tum- bled out of it, by the intrigues of a Federal Junto. This is the same Gentleman, who, at the commencement of the late war, left a cus- tomer with one side of his face shaved, on being told that one of the tea ships had arri- ved in the harbor; apologizing to the man for the ludicrous situation he left him in, by saying, that the calls of his country must be obeyed in preference to those of a pri- vate nature. T I M O N.
Mr. CHILDS, FROM the happy coincidence of choice which has been exhibited in the diffe- rent lists of Delegates to Convention pub- lished in your paper, I was induced to hope any new nomination would be unnecessary. But this disposition having been assailed from another quarter, by those sordid pas- sions which are too apt to dethrone reason, and substitute their own creatures in its stead; and this being a crisis when a concurrence of sentiment and conduct in the citizens of New-York may be of the last importance to themselves and mankind, I shall not a- pologize for recalling to their minds the ob- jects of that merited unanimity. They are Robert R. Livingston, John Sloss Hobart, Alexander Hamilton, Robert Troup, John Jay, Richard Morris, James Duane, Nicholas Low. Isaac Roosevelt, In this nomination, besides a certain ve- neration, which it is impossible not to feel for men of their integrity and abilities, I have not a motive but the public welfare. If I have any apology to make for a list which appears to be of the public's and not of my nomination (they having been most frequently held up, and the greater part of them almost unanimously, and their merits even surmounted the barriers of private, po- litical and typographical animosity) it should be, that they have so much a sameness of worth, character, and probably of sentiment. But when it considered, how difficult it is to unite a desirable degree of the contrary properties with more essential qualities, how interesting and decisive of our fate the occasion! That besides the best abilities, they enjoy with their fellow citizens a com- mon and inseparable interest, independence and firmness, with a moderation, candor and political forbearance useful at all times, but indispensably necessary to combat that nar- row spirit of party, illiberality and passion, too fatally predominant in some of our Counties. A combination of these, will I hope, meet with approbation and success, and that by recommending them, I shall in- jure the feelings of no candidate or author of any nomination, when I inform them that they are omitted not from a distrust of their qualifications, but because it is impossible all can be inserted, and because these I was persuaded, as well from their more frequent mention as from their intrinsic and known recommendations, would best embrace and discharge the interests and confidence of the public. I only beg that no one sensible to the happiness of his country, will endeavor to destroy the harmony I recommend, with- out the best of public spirited reasons, and not to wreak resentment or indulge vanity. An Independent Elector.
Mr. PRINTER, THE Federal Constitution has been ra- tified by six States, (which are all that have yet considered it) with a degree of u- nanimity which, at once, demonstrates the excellence of this plan of government, and the wisdom of its adopters. In three of the States it passed without even one dissenting voice; and in one only did the minority ex- ceed one third. An erroneous calculation has appeared, in some of the newspapers, by which it would seem that upwards of one third of the six States, which have a- dopted the Constitution, are opposed to it; this mistake was occasioned by comparing the yeas and nays in the different Con- ventions, as if an equal representation had taken place in all the States; but this is not the case, for the minority in the Con- vention of Massachusetts, alone, was more numerous than the four Conventions of Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, Delaware, and Georgia, because of the large number of delegates chosen in that State. The following mode of calculation, I flatter myself, will appear unexceptiona- bly just.
   No. of taxable inhabitants. No. of del. in conven. Nay. Prop. of an- tised. inhab.     New-Jersey, 230,000 39 00   Delaware, 37,000 22 00   Georgia, 90,000 33 00   Pennsylvania, 360,000 69 23 120,000   Connecticut, 202,000 168 40 48,095   Massachusetts, 360,000 355 168 170,366   1,779,000 338,461  
Hence it appears that, in these six States, nearly five sevenths of the people were in favor of the Constitution, and if to these we add absent members, in the several mi- norities, who have since acquiesced, and are now zealous in support of this system, I have no doubt, that at least six sevenths of the people are, at this moment, friends to the proposed plan. That so near an approach to unanimity should prevail in adopting this Constitution, is truly an event hitherto unparalleled, a phenomenon in politics — and recommends it to the freemen of America, who have yet to decide upon it, more warmly than the elo- quence of a Cicero, the fire of a Demosthe- nes, and the wisdom of a Solon, combined in every one of its advocates, could possibly do. I sincerely congratulate the citizens of A- merica upon the fair prospect which now presents itself to their view; and promises a long reign of virtue, happiness, and glo- ry, as the result of a Constitution which is the real vox populi so often ardently des- ired by mankind, in vain, and now, for the first time, discovered by the patriotic fages of America. A REAL PATRIOT.

A Court of Chancery held at the Chancellor's Chambers in the City of New-York, the first day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight,
PRESENT, The Hon. ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON , Esq. Chancellor. In Chancery. FORASMUCH as it appears to this Court, that a bill has been filed therein by John Leake, Complainant, against William Ward, son and heir at law of William Ward, deceased, Defendant. The said William Ward, deceased, who was the Mortgagor, to obtain a decree for the sale of certain premises therein mentioned to have been mortgaged by the said William Ward, to the said John Leake; whereupon process of subpoena to appear and answer has been duly issued and returned, and that the said William Ward has not entered his appearance in this cause, as according to the rules of this Court the same ought to have been entered, in case the said process had been duly served; and an affidavit having been made to the satisfaction of this Court, that the Defendant had made strict and diligent enquiry after the above defendant, William Ward, in order to serve him with a subpoena, which appeared to have been issued out of this Honorable Court, reflected the fourth, and returnable the nineteenth day of January now last past; that the Deponent had not been able to serve the said subpoena on the said William Ward, or obtain any intelligence of him, only that he returned from Nova-Scotia some time ago, and as the Deponent was informed, was in or near the state of New-York, but has no fixed residence; Wherefore it is ordered, on motion of Mr. Troup, of counsel for the complainant, that the said William Ward appear to the said bill, on or before the first day of June now next ensuing, and in default thereof, that the Complainant's said bill be taken for confessed, to the end that a decree may be made for a sale of the said Premises, or such part thereof as to this Court shall appear just and right.

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS,
Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency, in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the duodenum, or gut next the stomach; but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humors, which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world, for gross-bodied children, that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels, of all stiff and clammy humors, which flop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, flinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, teters, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbatic humors and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these Plumbs, cured a great many children of whooping or chin-coughs and agues, which distempers are very common, and troublesome to families, and the want of these Plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions.
These Plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and putrid humors, and create a fresh and healthy complexion, in such as are affected in any putrid matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of slime; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in the cholie and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off four vapors, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the flomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, causes a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronic distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, dropsies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humors, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the forerunners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes and constitutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box contains one dozen of these Plumbs. Price Eight Shillings, with directions.
Sold by H. GAINÉ , at his Book-store and Printing-Office, in Hanover-Square, Diagnostick Signs of Worms. PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, loit appetite, swelled belly, knawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirsts, the body decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, flinking breath, &c. &c.
Directions for taking them. A child from one to two years may eat one plumb, from 2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8 two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15, and all above that age may eat four plumbs, one hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey, or water gruel; in taking, the patient must stay 2 or 3 days betwixt each dose.
In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fit comes on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. March 6.
