L O N D O N, March 6. Extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated Jan. 10.
“Notwithstanding the care taken by the Ministers of the Porte to conceal their inquietude, it is impossible for them to disguise the consternation into which the dispositions and designs of the house of Austria has thrown them. It was but lately this Cabinet sent orders to Sophia for a thousand Janissaries to march immediately to Orsova, a small fortress, but of great importance, on the Danube, about 6 leagues from Mehadia. This order has been followed by another, to send some pieces of artillery, and transports of ammunition, to the same place. But the information that they had assembled 10,000 men in Macedonia, and chiefly in the environs of Salonica, mostly robbers, and very barbarous in their disposition, is a mere invention.”
Since she has been assured of the co-operation of the Emperor, the following are the only terms on which the Empress has declared her determination to make peace with the Turks — 1. That the Porte give up all claims on the Crimea. 2. That Oczakow, with the circumjacent territory, be delivered up to the Russians. 3. That they likewise make the cession of Bender, and all Bessarabia. 4. That all Russian ships of war, without restriction as to size or number, be allowed the free passage of the Dardanelles. 5. That the head of the present Grand Vizier be sent to Petersburg, as the instigator of all the present troubles. 6. That the Porte pay three millions of dollars, as a compensation for the injuries done to the Russians, and the violation committed on the rights of nations, in the imprisonment of the Ambassador. The Empress will insist on terms no less rigorous; and as the Porte cannot think of complying with them, there is no doubt but the war will go on.
The Imperial Catherine thinks it an important object to have good powder, as well as good men and good ships, to fight her battles, on which account she gives premiums for the best preparations of gunpowder. Messrs. Scott and Lamarre, the one a native of England, the other of France, obtained one of them. They spread a small quantity of powder upon a sheet of fine writing paper, and set fire to it, without even so much as making the least mark upon the paper; which was a signal proof of the superior quality of the powder.

Extract from a critical review of JULIUS CÆSAR.
“When Shakespeare made choice of this subject, he, no doubt commendably, consulted the genius of his native land, where the spirit of liberty, however impaired, has ever remained a check upon power; and where could he search for more noble examples, more striking affertors of freedom, than among the last Romans, who bravely contended for that choicest principle of political life? Sensible of his bold and important design, he seems to have collected the utmost force of his powers, whereby he has maintained more strength, more dignity and uniformity, than in any other of his pieces. — There must be good sense and generous feelings to relish it thoroughly, as it rests upon one great independent idea — the love of our country.”
“We with our Senators, as a body, were to bespeak it annually; that each would get most of it by heart; that it should be occasionally performed at both Universities, and at every public feminary in these kingdoms; so would the author receive distinguished honor, and the public reap, we doubt not, essential benefit.”

To the Printer of the Daily Advertiser. SIR,
[Concluded.]
IT ought to be lamented by all, that our young hero of the pen continues to prosecute his design upon an erroneous principle: We have a most glaring instance of this, in the following paragraph, he says, “it cannot be denied, that sometimes, those who build upon being masters of the Greek, have few other qualifications to boast; and it is an unfortunate circumstance, that our author's acquaintance seems to have been confined to this class of scholars. But however true this observation may be, it is no more to the purpose, than to say, that because many have been crowned at sea, no one should ever set his foot on ship-board; for we frequently find men of genuine sense and good understanding the greatest proficients in this branch of education.” All his reasonings are still founded upon the foolish hypothesis, he has endeavored in vain to establish, viz. That the study of the Greek, ought by all means to be closely and generally attended to: for where he compares it to commerce. What a striking simile is this! Were a child of ten years old guilty of so gross a blunder he would most affertly be corrected. Commerce, one of the greatest blessings Heaven has bestowed upon mankind, is put in competition with a language, unknown to the greatest part of, and useless to almost the whole world. Fye, Philalethes, live, I lush at such nonsense, and turn over to the page of amendment. This argument, viz. that because many have been killed by suicide, we should therefore desist from any farther attempts of that kind, might, with an equal degree of propriety be applied to the present case. As to my acquaintance with scholars, tho' it might have excited my opponent, yet it has not been wholly confined to scholars, which we both agree in reprobatating, but with how much candor on his part, he is the most competent judge; for many, unwilling to publish their own infirmities, veil them under the mask of duplicity.
Now for his cavilling upon the word most in my letter, “the study of the Greek is extremely necessary for them (the gentlemen of the Pulpit), and unless they are well skilled in this respect, it is rely they will appear to disadvantage in their important occupations;” and the following, “I wish less attention to be paid to the language of the Greeks.” “That is,” says he, immediately afterwards, “he wishes them to be deprived of an accomplishment essential to their usefulness and reputation. For as sure there mark the delusive influence he draws) as it is neglected in one instance, it will be so in more, till the study of it is totally thrown aside, or at least very superficially attended to, even by those who need it most.” This, Sir, is not found reasoning. If it be, why has the Hebrew, which has been neglected in more instances than one, not “been totally thrown aside by those who need it most?” Ye this language we know, is cultivated by those who find it a necessary means to get to professional eminence. Speaking on this head, in the manner Philalethes does, is downright nonsense: one might with the same justice contend, that because a Stoic sternly refuses to gratify himself with any of the innocent enjoyments of life, therefore all mankind would follow his example and do the same: or, that because a herdsman finds it necessary to wear a short coat, boots and spurs, every other person must of course do so too. Both these consequences follow as naturally, as that which our author has forced from my expressions by the dint of quilbling. I shall now pass over some trifling and very foolish parts of his work, and proceed to other argument (as he supposes it), which is that, “because but little judgment is requisite in obtaining it, (the Greek) the omission is therefore altogether inexcusable.”
“Speciatim admissi, risum teneatis amici.” “Can you, my friends, refrain from laughter, when admitted to such a fight as this?”
Something of a similar complexion has already been confuted. I shall, however, before I dismiss the subject, make a few supplementary remarks. Let us suppose, at a moderate computation, that it requires between two and three years to obtain the knowledge of the Greek language, and that little judgment is requisite for that purpose. This is a position to which I believe no reasonable person will object. Here then we see, so much of a man's life, spent in the improvement of the memory, in almost total exclusion of that of the judgment. Now since (for this is granted by all) the latter is much more serviceable than the former, it is clear, that here arises one very material disadvantage. But let us enquire farther, and see what the memory is engaged in all this time. Is it in search of an object, incomparably inferior to many others, which are entirely neglected, whilst this is attended to? Most certainly so. Is it right, is it rational, is it becoming us, thus to make a sacrifice of so great a part of the short period of our existence? Ought not our faculties to be engaged in things more useful, in preference to those which are of less consequence? Common sense answers in the affirmative. We know, the memory may be equally strengthened in all occupations, whether good or bad; but not equally improved; we ought therefore, in the exercise of this power of the mind, to make choice of that occupation, which serves not merely to strengthen it, but also to advance it most in the possession of excellence. That this is not the learning of the language in dispute, is ascertained to a certainty. Here then, we see two great inconveniences, which jointly constitute an amazing loss, refusing from the practice Philalethes defends.
I fear, Sir, that I am tedious both to you and others; but it is necessary to expose the idiosyncrasy of a simpleton, who, ent in nothing to an excel, has embarked in a foolish voyage.
Before I conclude, I would wish to observe, that the Drama took its rise from a custom which prevailed in ancient times, of celebrating the victories and follies of particular characters, with exhibitions, by means of a single person, on a stage; such fies were acted by mimics and buffoons, &c. and were performed in songs. I have been lately informed, that a lad, of this city, warmly inspired with a zeal to promote the restoration of the customs of antiquity, and deeply impressed with the importance of the undertaking, has himself acted the laudable example, and has endeavored, after this manner, to ridicule the conduct of one, who differed from him in opinion; but that the success of this modern buffoonery, was not answerable to the actor's expectation. I shall now take my leave, readily pardoning Philalethes for all his deviations from the truth, no withstanding his declaring himself (in his signature) to be a profess'd lover thereof.

This is all the notice the subscriber will take a- bout that ill-grounded affection, and remains the public's most humble servant, JOSEPH CORRE.

The FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK. A Number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Govern- ment, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
 Delegates to the Convention, JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW.  As Members of the Senate. ISAAC ROOSEVELT, EZRA L'HOMME DIEU, PAUL MICHEAU.  As Members of the Assembly. COMFORT SANDS, WILLIAM W. GILBERT, ALEXANDER M'COMB, NICHOLAS HOFFMAN, BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON, GULIAN VERPLANCK, NICHOLAS LOW, RICHARD HARRISON, JOHN WATTS, Jun. 
In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That which appears to be the greatest inte- rest of every true American, - the conso- lidation of our Union, in which is in- volved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and country, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now sub- mitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the pur- pose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our MOTTO. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.
By Order of the Meeting,  THOMAS RANDALL, Chairman. New-York, April 8, 1788.

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 beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business.

For terms, apply to DIRCK LEF- FERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same. The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser.
