The following lines were addressed by Mr. Pope to the Duchess of QUEENSBERRY.—We insert them with their Answer, not being, we apprehend, in many hands.
DID CELIA's person with her sense agree, What mortal could behold her, and be free! But nature has, in pity to mankind, Enrich'd the image, but defac'd the mind.
ANSWER to Mr. POPE, by the DUCHESS.
HAD POPE a person equal to his mind, How fatal would it be to woman kind! But nature, who does all things well ordain, Deform'd the body, but enrich'd the brain.
LONDON, March 26.
Cardinal York has put forth a formal protestation, that he renounces not his pretensions to his hereditary realms, that the sanctity of his episcopal character can be no impediment, and in the sight of God and man, that he therefore thus asserts his right himself, and when he dies, transmits it to the Prince next a-kin. All this he fixes as his will. Extract of a letter from Petersburg, Jan. 25. The Court has received accounts from Mr. Bering, who was sent by the Empress about a year ago, to reconnoitre the coasts of the Northern ocean, to the East and North extremity of Asia.—This intrepid voyager, after happily traversing all Siberia, built a vessel proper for prosecuting that dangerous design, and embarking therein, went down the Kollima, and sailed from the mouth of that river in May last, along the coast, to discover the Cape where Capt. Cook terminated his discoveries, and the position of which he has placed differently to what all the Russian navigators had done before him. If these favors the boldness of Mr. Bering, he will try to double Cape Tchutskoy, and return to Kamtschatka.
Extract of a letter from Venice, Feb. 24.
The English Ambassador meets with a cool reception at the Ottoman Court, since it has been understood that the Cabinet of St. James's mean to receive the Russian fleet in their ports, and succour it in its passage to the Mediterranean. Our Republic, by externally observing a strict neutrality, has prevailed on the Grand Vizir to recall the Squadron that cruised in our seas. If it joins the Captain Pacha, his force will be greatly superior to that of the Russians.
The late Lord Richard Cavendish, a few weeks before his death, went a hunting with the King of Naples; when the sport was over, his Majesty invited him to dinner in the country. Lord Richard desired permission to sit in his great coat, on account of his ill health. This the King immediately granted. His Sicilian Majesty, who, though ill educated, possesses great natural talents, and is an enemy to every species of affectation, was extremely pleased with the simplicity of Lord Richard's character, and conversed with him in a manner the most free, cheerful, and engaging. This Lord Richard was so much taken with, that on a sudden he cried out—"I admire your Majesty exceedingly, because you are not the least like a King." His Majesty often mentions the circumstance with pleasure, and declares that he looks upon it to have been the most flattering speech that ever was made to him.

On Monday last, several corps of the Middlesex militia paraded on Waltham plains, for the purpose of acquiring knowledge of real action. At one o'clock, the line was formed in an open field, from right to left, as follows: Troop of horse, commanded by Capt. Fuller—the Welton light-infantry, Capt. Bigelow—the Watertown artillery, Major Kent—and the Newton militia—The whole under Major Kent.—At 3 o'clock, the horse and infantry passed the bridge, which they were afterwards to attack; and a detachment from the militia, marched down, and took position to defend it.—The horse and infantry, after a short skirmish in the woods, came on to the attack—the horse keeping the road, flanked by the infantry.—When this body approached the bridge, the central fire, and communicated the alarm; the detachment immediately engaged—and were supported by a heavy fire from the artillery from a hill adjoining—but being charged by the horse and infantry, and overpowered by numbers, were obliged to retreat to the main body.—The assailants pursued to the field where the line was first formed—the action then became general, and concluded, after a well fought battle, by the horse and infantry drawing off—after which the line was formed as at first. The whole of this transaction afforded complete satisfaction to a large number of spectators—who testified to the good order and martial appearance of the several corps; who were all in elegant uniforms.
The 26th day of June next, is appointed by the Supreme Executive, for the execution of Abigail Conyers, lately convicted of the murder of her infant bastard child, at Northampton.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.
As Mr. Alexander Brown, of Somerset county, New-Jersey, was on his way to this city on Friday last, about four o'clock P. M. he stopped at the inn (on the Bristol road) about six miles from town. After paying his reckoning, and just setting off, two men well dressed came out of the inn and asked him if he was for Philadelphia, telling him, if he was, they would be company; he informed them, he was always happy to have good company, and accordingly they all then set off with the greatest civility, until they came to a wood, about three quarters of a mile from the inn—when suddenly one of the villains presented a pistol to Mr. Brown's breast, and told him, if he did not deliver all the money he had, he was a dead man. Mr. Brown having nothing to defend himself, was obliged to deliver his pocket-book, with twenty dollars specie, and five dollars Jersey paper money, with some other papers of not much value, and left him possessed only of a few coppers.—As soon as they had accomplished their purpose, they leaped their horses over the fence, and went thro' the wood as fast as they could ride. One of the villains rode a bay horse, with one hind foot white, about fourteen hands and a half high—had on a light blue coat, spotted velvet waistcoat, and velvet breeches—appeared about 23 or 24 years of age, middle stature. The other had on a dark brown coat, and rode a brown horse, with a star in his forehead, about fifteen hands high. Both the villains had boots and spurs on.

POUGHKEEPSIE, June 3.
The following are the particulars of the late election, as far as we have been able to collect them. In this country, when the supervisors had finished canvassing, the votes stood as follows:
FOR CONVENTION.
Antifederal. Federal. Zeph. Platt, 1765 Egbert Benson, 892 Jac. Swartwout, 1755 Isaac I. Tallman, 889 John D'Witt, 1753 Joseph Crane, 887 Ezra Thompson, 1749 Robert Sands, 887 Gilbert Livingston, 1749 Ebenezer Cary, 883 Melanchton Smith, 1748 Martin Wiltse, 880 Jonathan Akers, 1732 Rd. D'Cantillon, 854
A correspondent remarks, that it is a circumstance highly favorable to the Federal cause, that in this County there should be at least one third of the votes for members in favor of the Constitution. It is what the most sanguine could scarcely have expected, had they calculated on probable grounds—at the beginning of the year it was the better opinion that there were hardly one twentieth of the Electors inclined to the Federal side; so sudden and so great a change in the public sentiment, and that too in opposition to the current of prejudice, and to the addresses of warm men, and of warmer publications, is almost without parallel; and can only be imputed to the force of reason on one side, the examples of our sister States, and the menacing consequences which to all human probability appear to await a rejection of the Constitution. For my part, (continues our correspondent) so far from being chagrined at the result of the election in this County, I view it as a source of consolation and triumph. Had the pamphlet attributed to Mr. Jay, made its appearance a little sooner, I am well persuaded there would have been a still more complete revolution in the minds of the people. That publication treated the subject as relative to us in its proper light:—As the States one after another came into the measure the great political controversy gradually changed its ground, and what was once a question on the merits of the Constitution, now becomes only a question of public expediency and policy. As there is much well grounded reason to apprehend that the friendly sympathy and intercourse, between this and the neighboring States, will be totally rescinded if we finally reject the system, it must be the prayer of every truly honest man that the gentlemen who are speedily to pronounce our fate, will mutually forget that they are the heads of a party, will mutually endeavor to divest themselves of passion, and to be governed by reason.
It has been frequently asserted that amendments of the Federal Constitution can be as easily effected before the adoption of it as after. Let us for a moment apply our cool and close attention to this point. To amend before the adoption will require that all the States, who are to become members of the new Confederacy, should adopt all the amendments that shall be adopted by any one. For example, if five amendments should be proposed by a new General Convention, and adopted by one State, every other State that should not adopt them all, would effectually reject the Constitution. That is, the consent of the whole thirteen will be necessary to obtain any one amendment, however salutary. But to amend the Constitution after its adoption will require the Conventions or Legislatures of only three fourths of the States: that is ten out of the whole thirteen. Hence it clearly follows, that the difficulty of obtaining amendments after the ratification will be as much less than to procure them before the ratification, as ten is less than thirteen. It has been urged that the officers of the Federal Government will not part with power after they have got it; but those who make this remark really have not duly considered the Constitution, for Congress will be obliged to call a Federal Convention on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the States: and all amendments proposed by such Federal Conventions are to be valid, when adopted by the Legislatures or Conventions of three fourths of the States. It therefore clearly appears that two thirds of the States can always procure a general Convention for the purpose of amending the Constitution, and that three fourths of them can introduce those amendments into the Constitution, although the President, Senate and Federal House of Representatives should be unanimously opposed to each and all of them. Congress therefore cannot hold any power, which three fourths of the States shall not approve on experience.
Yesterday, 'twixt night the Synod of New-York and Philadelphia broke up, after finishing their business. During their session, they resolved themselves into four Synods, and one General Assembly or Council. The Synods are to meet annually in New-York, Philadelphia, Virginia, and one of the Carolinas, from which places the Synods are to derive their names. The General Assembly is to meet in Philadelphia. In the pastoral letter agreed to by the Reverend Synod, we hear they have strongly recommended the disuse of spirituous liquors—the abolition of negro slavery, with the instruction of the negroes in literature and religion—and the decision of all disputes among the members of their communion by means of arbitration, after the manner of the primitive christians, and of the people called Quakers. Should this practice become general among all sects of christians, how much time would be saved, that is spent in idleness, by plaintiffs, defendants, jurors and witnesses at courts—how much drinking and gaming would be prevented, which are practiced during the session of the courts,—how much expence, ill-blood, malice, and even hereditary hatreds, would likewise be prevented by it,—all of which are the usual consequences of law-suits.—Who knows but what the effects of this christian mode of arbitrating disputes may spread from christians to public bodies, and that it may prove the means of teaching States and Kings the folly and madness of settling their disputes by an appeal to arms. Greater revolutions in the opinions and conduct of men have often arisen from much smaller causes.
We hear that the farmers of Biberly and Lower Dublin townships, in Philadelphia county, have signed an association to give no spirituous liquors to their laborers at the ensuing harvest. They propose, in the room of spirits, to give beer, cyder, butter-milk, and molasses and water. One spoonful of the molasses to a pint of water is the usual way of giving that excellent drink.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Quebec to his friend at Halifax, March 19.
The Loyalists are coming into this province in vast numbers; 700 families of Quakers from Pennsylvania, and 107 families from Sussex, in New-Jersey, are petitioning for lands on Lake Erie. The lands on our side of Niagara are already filled, and above 1000 families are now applying for a settlement to the eastward of Lake Champlain; Col. Fitch, of Connecticut, is at their head.
Thus we go on prosperously, and if Lord Dorchester lives (which is the fervent prayer of every loyalist) in a few years the whole Province, from this to Detroit, will be filled with good and faithful subjects. There are now upwards of 10,000 souls settled between the Cedars and Cartarouqui."
Extract of a letter from Canada to a Gentleman in Halifax, dated April 27.
"It is with inexpressible satisfaction that I inform you of a happy prelude to the re-establishment of the health of Lord Dorchester. A few days ago a gloom overspread our countenances on the appearance of a fatal attack on his Lordship's health, a violent fever ensued and every symptom alarming—Nature made a violent effort, when, by vomiting, a worm was discharged from his stomach, immediately grew better, and has ever since been much heartier and better than for a long time. As soon as the weather admits his Lordship proposes a jaunt to Niagara, to make happy, by his presence and patronage, the loyalists, who in great numbers are forming settlements in that valuable country."
A gentleman, who lately travelled thro' New-England, informs us, that the amount of POTASH exported from the state of Massachusetts last year was 300,000 dollars. In all their towns persons are employed with waggons of a suitable construction for the purpose, to go through the neighborhood, and to buy up all the ashes of the country, which are conveyed to the manufactories, and there made to yield their salt. By this practice the ashes of every farm-house (which were formerly useless) become profitable to the farmer and to the State. In this State the exportation of Potash last year amounted to eighty thousand pounds.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington (Delaware), May 28.
"The following distressing effects of lightning happened in Sussex on Sunday the 28th inst. The weather being very hot and sultry in the afternoon, there appeared a black cloud to the Westward, which came over the neighborhood of Broad-Creek, with uncommon flashes of lightning and severe claps of thunder. Between three and four o'clock the lightning struck the law mill of Col. Charles Moore, of this place, which first entered the roof directly over the looms (for the went with two) and the roof was destroyed before a discovery of the fire was made, as the neighbors in and near that place are but thin settled. The mill was entirely consumed before any assistance could be afforded to extinguish the flames. What adds to Col. Moore's misfortune is, that a large quantity of boards, lately sawed and piled up near the mill, were also burnt; the wind blowing pretty fresh at the time, the flames communicated to them."
"By a neighbor of Mr. John Evans's of Cedar Neck, I am informed of the like dreadful event happening to him, his barn was struck with lightning on the 20th inst. and entirely consumed; in which was most of his corn for his family, with a large quantity of flax, tobacco, and other valuable property.—For these several days past, in this part of the country, we have had repeated hard showers of rain, accompanied with thunder and uncommon flashes of lightning.—I have not, however, heard of many more such distressing accidents, but very many large trees have been struck and splintered to splinters by the lightning."
The Hibernian Journal, of the 11th of March, advises, that the Providence and Friend's Good-will, from Salem, in New-England, with lumber, pipe-staves, flaxseed, and sundry other articles, are arrived at Cork and Sligo, after a quick and pleasant passage of 23 days.

ANECDOES.
A CERTAIN Colonel, remarkable for his oddities, having drank too freely, ordered his servant, who was an Irishman, newly hired, to bring his pistols. Teague obeyed; the Colonel loaded them both, and having locked the door, commanded his man to hold one of the candles at arm's length, till he snuffed it with a ball. Prayers and entreaties were in vain, and comply he must, and did, tho' trembling. The Colonel performed the operation at the first attempt; then laying down his pistol, was going to unlock the door. Teague catches up that which was loaded—Arrah, Master (says he) but now you must take up 'other candle, and let me have my shoot too. The Colonel called him rogue and rascal to no purpose; Teague was now vested with power, and would be obeyed. Accordingly his master extended the candle; but this being the first time of Teague's performing, he not only missed, but shot on a button from the breast of the Colonel's coat. So narrow an escape: had a good effect, and cured him of this humor of turning marksman in his drink.
Anecdote. —The late Dr. Magrath being called to visit a sick man, asked him, as he entered the room, how he did? "O, Doctor," replied the man, in a plaintive tone, "I am dead." The Doctor immediately left the room, and reported in the neighborhood that the man was dead. The report was at first believed and circulated—but as soon as the mistake was discovered, the Doctor was asked, why he had propagated a false report? He replied, that he did it upon the best authority, for he had it from the man's own mouth.
Bon Mot. Lord North, some time ago, on mentioning how much party spirit had subsided, said, "However Col. Barre and I may have formerly disagreed, I believe no two men now would be more happy to see each other." They are both blind.
ADISSERTATION ON HIPS.
Minds turn'd bottles call aloud for corks. POPE. MR. POPE in his celebrated Rape of the Lock, mentions some splenetic ladies who were so much under the dominion of the hypochondria, that they
really imagined themselves bottles and consequent ly called aloud for corks. One would imagine that almost every lady they meet with labored under the same complaint; and, therefore they always carry an immense quantity of cork about them. Perhaps they imagine that if by any accident, they should fall into a pond, or river, they have a sufficient quantity of that article about their persons to keep them buoyant; little considering that, thus situated, it can only keep their rumps above the water, and their heads will naturally be plunged deeply into that element.
Among all the preposterous fashions which have engaged the attention of the ladies of the ton, that monstrous one of padding the hips appears the most unaccountable; it is creating an artificial deformity that is disgusting to behold. How unnatural does it make a young lady appear, who, in every other respect is a delicate proportioned figure, to display the posteriors of an elephant. A perfect well made woman, is the most pleasing sight our eyes can be feasted with; and any attempts to alter so angelic a form, deserves the severest reprobation. Let the ladies embellish their persons with ribbons, or any other trappings or ornaments, but to attempt to disguise or deform themselves, and spoil the symmetry and harmony of the body, is an offence against nature, and ought to be punished by the statute law, like other high crimes and misdemeanors.
We should think it very absurd if any male leaders of men were to adopt a mode of padding the ankle and small of the leg, so as to render the whole leg of equal bulk, from the knee to the foot; but is it not equally absurd to stick on such a monstrous protuberance behind? In either case, nature is distorted and misrepresented, and a leg, of equal dimension from top to bottom, might, with as much propriety, be introduced as an improvement on shape and taste.

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, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted ability to the pain 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, with foremen, 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 undertaking merits the greatest 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.
Subscribers will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf. STEPHEN PATERSON.
