NEW-YORK, April 4.
Yesterday arrived the ship Hope, Doetson, in 23 days from St. Eustatia; the sloop Gen. Greene, Godfrey, from Rhode Island; and the sloop Sally, Bidden, from Halifax.
Also arrived yesterday, the Lydia, Jackson, from Barbadoes; the brig Harmony, Palmer, from Lisbon; and the Schooner Friends Adventure, Wilon, from Shelburne.
A Salem paper of March 25, says, "We are unhappy in having to mention the loss of the ship Juno and her cargo, the property of ELIAS HASKET DERBY, Esq. of this town, which sailed from this port in January last, for the Cape of Good-Hope, commanded by Capt. Henry Elkins. After being out about 40 hours, experiencing no adversity of weather, at 6 in the morning, the awful alarm of "the ship is sinking," spread terror fore and aft; so rapid was the encrease of water, and so surprising the report, that overflowing despair had well nigh swallowed them up, by the time they could call all hands. Vain were repeated endeavors to escape the liquid fate their situation threatened, and separate themselves from the unalterable lot of the ship. The most arduous attempts of all on board to secure their lives, were almost yielded to the sovereignty of the sea, when its power appeared less unmerciful, and though one boat was sunk, the other, with extreme difficulty, they at length commanded, as the ultimate preservation of their lives; for in less than twenty minutes after quitting the ship, she went below. So wonderfully was mercy here mixed with judgment, which like light in chaos, glimmered thro' the gloom, that the ship's company had not been cast to the mercy of a treacherous ocean in a small and open boat more than four hours, when they were providentially taken up by a sloop and carried into Demarara. Although destruction stared all in the face, and every wave appeared a gaping fate, with mingled gratitude and happiness we add all were miraculously preserved from a watry grave.
Copy of a letter said to have been written to General WASHINGTON, by the Widow of a late American Officer.
Most illustrious General, PARDON a woman in an address most important—very unwillingly doth she undertake an epistle which must excite the sympathy and awaken the manly virtues of all.
Several years have now rolled on since the melancholy death of my valued friend and husband your officer. Every day employs my reflection on his virtues, his patriotism, heroism, and the important services he rendered his distressed country.
On the first hostilities commencing in the late war, he immediately abandoned a peaceable employment, and a conspicuous station, where he taught the American youth the paths to virtue and science, and met with the reward of a very elegant living. Fired with the idea of defending his country's wrongs, he equipped himself for the war, and soon was honored with a distinguished rank in the line of the army; here through thickest dangers, severest hardships, and the innumerable difficulties attendant upon the profession of arms, he followed and very often led in the most important and hazardous campaigns and expeditions; he was the companion, aid, and sharer in the same toils and exploits, with the illustrious Greene, the heroic de la Fayette, the valiant Sullivan, and partook in the applause so justly bestowed upon those exalted chiefs by an admiring and exulting country.
By his boldness and equal sharing in the hangers, thirstings, heat, cold and want of clothing, with his brave soldiers, he quelled their insurrections, animated their despondings, and led them on to glory and conquest. Beloved and admired by all, when on a tour of duty, a falling tree crushed him among its boughs, and he winged his flight to the place of the reward of virtue: here every face gathered sadness, the lowest sentinel joined with the exalted General in the general sigh; how, O Washington! on this occasion, did the idea of thy country's thy army's hero, thy much valued officer, now dead, swell thy heroic breast, and thy compassion to me, and the fatherless children of this dear man thus untimely fallen, draw the big manly tear into thine eye; how was I taught by thy kind, thy pious, and thy just advice to compose my sorrows, to hush my cares; here I recollect the polite attention of that son of Mars, the noble Stuben, and a long train of heroes who had witnessed the virtue and important service of my now deceased companion, and my children's guide, protector and support.
The grateful and pitying State voted me the rewards promised by all the plighted faith of an invaded and struggling country. I retired, to calm my sorrows, by a double exertion to combat the double cares now devolved upon me, in the education of the little flock, consisting of a son, who wears the name of an exalted personage at the head of a State; a little girl, and an in-
fant then at my breast, who bears the name and image of his father: but how shall I describe the remainder? O honor! justice! O my country! Your promised rewards have been violated; your plighted faith is proverbial for all that is dishonest; when I ask the cause of an impoverished country; a people oppressed with taxes; no government; no revenue, and New-York swallowing the earnings of my kindred, friends and neighbors, and depriving them of an equal share in the property of the Union, by a partial State Impost; neither motives of justice nor generosity can move to the obtaining my dues. Thus have I toiled on, from the early period in the war, that first made me the happy wife of a good man, sharing with him the distresses of an ill paid army; cheerfully in winter contenting myself with the cold cantonment, and in the summer in some lonely retirement; hoping that a happy issue to a distressing war, would have restored me to domestic happiness, and I might have filled up the measure of my days in due attention to all the duties assigned me in my station; but how am I foiled in all; and where, my dear General; where, my country, am I to apply for relief? Is there no justice, no humanity in your citizens, no power in your rulers? If so, pitiful indeed is the case, of the widow and the orphan. Can a nation prosper under such violated faith, and such oppression? How do ye, by your conduct, linger tortures more severe than those inflicted by barbarous Indians, upon the lovely Miss M'Crea? How do ye imitate the inhumanity of the Russian, who deprived eight children (of the family of a clergyman) of their mother, by firing a ball through her window, whilst her sucking infant lay at her breast? Hessians and Savages would have evidenced more honor to the innocent and defenceless, than you have done.
Is their no remedy, most illustrious Chief, for the long train of ills thus brought upon me, and innumerable others? Is there not some hidden sparks of patriotism or religion, that by thy influence may be fanned into a flame of love for the public good, that may silence the widow's cry, the orphan's tears, the moan of the oppressed, and reward the labour of the industrious?
May heaven arouse you, and her other virtuous sons, to exertion, and reward your former toils by giving you the exalted pleasure of seeing the happiness secured to all, for which so many fought, bled and died, and may you at last meet the rewards of the brave, the generous, and the just in Heaven.
To the Citizens of NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
THE opposition in your State to the new Constitution is an event surprising to your New-England Brethren, yet we are not disposed to criminate a people which made such gallant efforts in the establishment of the American empire. It is the prerogative of freemen to determine their own form of government, and if this Constitution is not addressed to your interest; if it is not calculated to preserve your freedom, and make you glorious, we wish you not to accept it. We have fought by your side, we have long been connected in interest, and with many of you by consanguinity, and wish that you may share with us in all the benefits of a great and free empire. Brethren who differ in their opinions how a common interest may be best governed, ought to deliberate with coolness, and not wantonly accuse each other, either of folly or design. Massachusetts and Connecticut have decidedly judged the new government well calculated not only for the whole, but for the northern States. Either you or these States have judged wrong. Your interests are similar to theirs, and cannot be separated from them without counteracting nature. If there be any one State more interested than the others in the adoption of this system, it is New-Hampshire. Your local situation, which can never be altered, is a solemn argument in its favor. Though separated from the government of Britain, at no less price than the blood of your bravest sons, you border on her dominions—She is our enemy, and wishes nothing more than your submission to her laws, and to the will of her proud servants. Her force may easily be pointed through your whole territory, and a few regiments would effectually banish resistance. New-Hampshire though growing in population, and among the first States in personal bravery, cannot yet stand alone. Should a disunion of the States tempt Britain to make another effort for recovering her former greatness, you will be the first to fall under her sway.
In such case you will have nothing to expect from the other States.—Dispirited with a fruitless attempt to unite in some plan of general government and protection, they will say, let the dissenting States abide the consequences of their own false opinions. Though such a reply might not be wise, it would be exactly conformable to what we have ever found in human nature; and nature will have its course, let policy be what it may. You are the Northern barrier of the United States, and
by your situation, must first meet any hostile animosity from that quarter, designed against any part of them. It is certainly for the interest of a barrier country, to have a general government, on such efficient principles, as can point the force of the whole, for its relief when attacked. The old Constitution could not do this; that, now under consideration, if accepted, we trust will produce a circulation of riches and the powers of protection, to the most extreme parts of the body. On these principles it has generally been said, that New-Hampshire and Georgia, would be among the first in adopting. Georgia has done it, not perhaps because they are more wise than New-Hampshire, but being pressed with a dangerous war in the very moment of decision, they felt its necessity; and feeling is an argument none can resist. Trust not to any complaisance of those British Provinces on your Northern borders, or those artful men who govern them, who were selected on purpose to beguile your politics, and divide and weaken the Union. When the hour for a permanent connection between the States is past, the reeth of the Lion will be again made bare, and you must either be devoured, or become his Jackal, to hunt for prey in the other States.
We believe those among you who are opposed to the system, as honest and brave as any part of the community, and cannot suspect them of any design against American Independence; but such persons ought to consider what will be the probable consequence of their dissent; and whether this is not the only hour in which this country can be saved from a condition, which is on all hands allowed to be dangerous and unhappy. There are certain critical periods in which nations, as well as individuals, who have fallen into perplexity, by a wise exertion may save themselves and be glorious. Such is the present era in American policy, but if we do not see the hour of our salvation, there is no reason to expect that Heaven will repeat it. The unexpected harmony of the Federal Convention; their mutual condescension in the reconciliation of jarring interests and opposing claims between the several States; the formation of a system so efficient in appearance, and at the same time, so well guarded against an oppression of the subject; the concurring sentiments of a vast majority through the United States, of those persons, who have been most experienced in policy, and most eminent in wisdom and virtue, are events which must be attributed to the special influence of Heaven.
To be jealous for our liberties is lawful, but jealousy in excess, is a delirium of the imagination by no means favorable to liberty. If you would be free and happy, a power must be created to protect your persons and properties; otherwise you are slaves to all mankind. Your British neighbors have long known these truths, and will not fail by their emissaries to seminate such jealousies as favor their own designs. To prophesy evil is an ungrateful business; but forgive me, when I predict, that the adoption of this Constitution, is the only probable means of saving the greatest part of your State from becoming an appendage of Canada or Nova-Scotia. In some future paper, I shall assign other reasons, why New-Hampshire, more than any other State, is interested in this event.
A LANDHOLDER. Connecticut, March, 1788.
Prospects on the Rubicon: [Continued from our Paper of yesterday.]
FRANCE, with a much better permanent condition for war than England, is in a less disposition to enter into one, and this want of disposition in her is mistaken in England for want of condition; and on the other hand, the apparent disposition in England for war, is mistaken by her for a condition to undertake and carry one on.
There appears a uniformity in all the works of nature, from individual animals up to nations. The smaller animals are always the most fretful, passionate, and insulting. They mistake temper for strength, and often fall a sacrifice to vexatious impetuosity, while larger ones go calmly on, and require repeated provocations to incense them. France may yet be aggravated into war, and very probably will. Where the condition exists, the disposition may at any time take place. We may create temper, but we cannot create strength.
While the literature of England preserves an honorable rank among the nations of Europe, her national character is most miserably suffering in the world through her newspapers. The most barefaced perfidiousness, the most abandoned principles are daily propagated. A total disregard to all the obligations of national faith and honor are publicly professed. Instead of that true greatness of heart, that calm grandeur of sentiment, that generous disdain of vulgar littleness that ought always to accompany the disputes of nations, scarcely any thing is to be seen but mean abuse and low
scurrility: this is not the case with any other country in the world but England.
We will now proceed to conclude with a few additional observations on the state of politics.
For several weeks the nation was amused with daily rumors of some great cabinet secret, and admiring how profoundly the secret was kept, when the only secret was, that there was no secret to divulge.
But this opinion of a secret very well shews that the opinion of the nation was different to the opinion of the Minister, or the supposition of some great secret would not have taken place, as the affairs of the Stadtholder were then publicly known. It shews that the nation did not think the Stadtholder of Holland a sufficient reason for laying new taxes on England, and running into the risk and expence of a war, and great was the surprise when the declaration and counter declaration like twin mice peeped from the cabinet.
But there is one secret that requires to be investigated, which is, whether the Minister did not know that France would not engage in a war, and whether the preparations were not an idle parade, founded on that knowledge.
Whether it was not meanly putting England under the banners of Prussia, and taking thereby a dishonorable advantage of the internal perplexity which France was then in, and which in its turn may happen to England, to assume the air of a challenge, which it must be known would not be accepted, because there was nothing to make the acceptance necessary.
Whether this conduct in the minister does not mischievously operate to destroy the harmony that appeared to be growing between the two nations; to lessen, if not totally destroy, the advantages of the commercial treaty, and to lay the seeds of future wars, when there was a prospect of a long and uninterrupted peace.
