AUGUSTA, April 12. A letter from a gentleman in Green county to his friend in this town, dated March 22, says, "The Indians attacked Carmichael's fort on Tuesday the 9th inst. about four o'clock in the morning; the firing continued near three hours, without doing any damage on either side. The number of horses, cattle, and the quantity of corn, carried off by them, and other corroborating circumstances, induce me to believe the Indians are in large body near the Great Shoals of the Apalachicola, and without immediate relief all the frontier forts will break."
BALTIMORE, April 29. Late last Night the following Particulars were delivered to the Editor, for Publication in this Day's Paper.
The Convention on Saturday last determined to ratify the proposed Plan of Federal Government, Yeas 63, Nays 11—and then appointed a Committee of Thirteen Members, to consider and report Amendments to be recommended to the People. The following Amendments were proposed by a Member, and referred to the Committee, who are now sitting; and it is hoped that the great and essential Rights of the People will be declared and secured.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. THAT it be declared that all persons entrusted with the Legislative or Executive Powers of Government, are the Trustees and Servants of the Public, and as such accountable for their Conduct:
WHEREFORE, whenever the Ends of Government are perverted, and public Liberty manifestly endangered, and all other Means of Redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought, to object to, reform the old, or establish a new Government—that the Doctrine of Non-resistance against arbitrary Power and Oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the Good and Happiness of Mankind—that it be declared, That every Man hath a Right to petition the Legislature, for the Redress of Grievances, in a peaceable and orderly Manner—that in all criminal Prosecutions every Man hath a Right to be informed of the Accusation against him, to have a Copy of the Indictment or Charge in due Time (if required) to prepare for his Defence, to be allowed Counsel, to be confronted with the Witnesses against him, to have Process for his Witnesses, to examine the Witnesses for and against him, on Oath, and to a speedy Trial, by an impartial Jury.
That no Freeman ought to be taken, or imprisoned, or deprived of his Freehold, Liberties or Privileges, outlawed or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his Life, Liberty or Property, but by the lawful Judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the Land.
That no Power of suspending Laws, or the Execution of Laws, unless derived from the Legislature, ought to be exercised or allowed.
That all Warrants, without Oath, or Affirmation of a Person conscientiously scrupulous of taking an Oath, to search suspected Places, or to seize any Person, or his Property, are grievous and oppressive; and all General Warrants, to search suspected Places, or to apprehend any Person suspected, without naming or describing the Place or Person in special, are dangerous and ought not to be granted.
That there be no Appeal to the Supreme Court of Congress in a Criminal Case.
Congress shall have no Power to alter or change the Regulations respecting the Times, Places, or Manner of holding Elections, for Senators or Representatives.
All Imposts and Duties laid by Congress, shall be placed to the Credit of the State in which the same be collected, and shall be deducted out of such State's Quota of the common or general Expenses of Government.
No Member of Congress shall be eligible to any Office of Trust, or Profit, under Congress, during the Time for which he shall be chosen.
That there be no National Religion established by Law; but that all Persons be equally entitled to Protection in their religious Liberty.
That Congress shall not lay direct Taxes on Land, or other Property without a Previous Requisition of the respective Quotas of the States, and a failing, within a Limited Time, to comply therewith.
In all Cases of Trespasses, Torts, Abuses of Power, personal Wrongs and Injuries done on Land, or within the Body of a County, the Party injured shall be entitled to Trial by Jury, in the State where the Offence shall be committed; and the State Courts, in such Cases, shall have concurrent Jurisdiction with the Federal Courts; and there shall be no Appeal, excepting on a Matter of Law.
That the Supreme Federal Court shall not admit of Fictions, to extend its Jurisdiction; nor shall Citizens of the same State, having Controversies with each other be suffered to make collusive Assignments
of their Rights, to Citizens of another State, for the Purpose of deceiving the Jurisdiction of the State Courts: nor shall any Matter or Question, already determined in the State Courts, be revived or anticipated in the Federal Courts; that there be no Appeal from Law, or Fact, to the Supreme Court, where the Claim, or demand, does not exceed Three Hundred Pounds Sterling.
That no standing Army shall be kept up in time of Peace, unless with the Consent of Three Fourths of the Members of each Branch of Congress; Nor shall Soldiers, in Time of Peace, be quartered upon private Houses, without the Consent of the Owners.
No Law of Congress, or Treaties, shall be effectual to repeal or abrogate the Constitutions, or Bills of Right of the States, or any of them, or any Part of the said Constitutions or Bills of Rights.
Militia not to be subject to the Rule of Congress, nor marched out of the State, without Consent of the Legislature of such State.
That Congress have no Power to lay a Poll-Tax.
That the People have a Right to Freedom of Speech, of writing and publishing their Sentiments, and therefore that the Freedom of the press ought not to be restrained, and the Printing Presses ought to be free to examine the Proceedings of Government and the Conduct of its Officers.
That Congress shall exercise no power, but what is expressly delegated by this Constitution.
That the President shall not command the Army in person without the consent of Congress.

From Correspondents. This evening Mrs. Morris gives the town a celebrated Comedy, replete with sentiment, wit and character. The fair sex, who ought to consider her as the model in dress and the graces, will certainly animate her theatrical conduct by their smiles. She is the principal ornament and support of the American Theatre, and her various talents have supported the cause of wit and Comedy. The name of Thalia is become obsolete, and the name of Morris would be a proper substitute.
She bestows such a laborious attention to her profession, that she sacrifices every pleasure of society. She is so ambitious of pleasing the male and female critics in dress, that her friends think her imprudent in gratifying their expensive ambition. The elegancies of fashion, which generally in her hands go beyond the model, and receive additional improvements from her genius and taste, cannot be supported without the liberality of her friends. That merit, which has stood the test of familiarity, must be great, and fixes her high in my estimation; and if we neglect her, because the novelty is lost by her professional assiduity, we may escape the world's contempt—but the Lovers of the Theatre cannot escape self-contempt , if ingratitude is a crime.
The School for Wives is happily chosen, and all husbands are in spirits with the expectation of their uninstructed dears receiving a lesson. Women, who can neglect every duty of the mother and wife, to pursue with awkwardness all the variable follies of fashion, we hope will receive a theatrical rebuke.
A lover of the Drama, who has spent much of his time in Europe, observes, that Mrs. Morris's choice of a play does her credit, and the disposition of the characters are judicious. Mrs. Henry , as the tender, the amiable Mrs. Belville , will make a most valuable impression on the minds of all married ladies, and one that ought never to be effaced. Mrs. Morris is so perfectly competent to fill the character of Miss Walsingham , there can be no doubt of its being a finished piece of acting. Mrs. Harper , who in general, deserves more credit for her performances than she receives, will do great justice to Lady Rachael Mildew . The male characters appear also, to use a Theatrical phrase, to be strongly cast.
This Comedy is the chef d'œuvre of the late Hugh Kelly, author of several successful Dramatic productions. The following extract from the preface to the School for Wives , breathes a peculiar liberality of sentiment.
"Two things, besides the general moral inculcated through this piece, the author has attempted; the first, to rescue the law, as a profession, from ridicule or obloquy; and the second, to remove the imputation of a barbarous ferocity, which dramatic writers, even meaning to compliment the Irish nation, have connected with their idea of that gallant people."
The musical Pette is a species of entertainment new to this country; and, from the agreeable variety in the selection, and display of picturesque scenery, promised in the bill of fare, cannot fail of being highly pleasing, and completely gratifying the expectation of a polite, and, the writer of this sincerely hopes, a CROWDED AUDIENCE.
From the Virginia Independent Chronicle. RICHARD HENRY LEE, Esq.
[Continued from our Paper of April 29.] SIR, March 28, 1788.
IN a preceding letter, I took the liberty to detect some flagitious errors, which you had committed, and endeavored, with an honest zeal, to remove, from the minds of my fellow citizens, the unfavorable impressions, which they might, perhaps, have made. Do not suppose, Sir, that I am actuated on this occasion by private pique or personal resentment. The one I, solemnly disclaim. The other I, sincerely, despise. To defend the federal Constitution from the insidious attacks of its designing enemies, and to exhibit, to the public, the treacherous arts, which you have, industriously, practised to injure it, are the real motives, which induced me to reply to your letter. Possessing the confidence of your country, and, lately occupying one of the most honorable employments under government, it was to be presumed, that your political conduct had, always, been regulated by the purest principles of patriotism. A stranger to your person, I had, credulously, conceived a favorable opinion of your public character. I had been taught to believe, that you, invariably, acted zealous the part of a sincere friend to your country, and, that you possessed all those qualifications, which are, so peculiarly, calculated to dignify public, and to embellish private, life. But alas! fame, like fancy, sometimes delights in fiction, and often confers qualities and virtues on objects which are, really, destitute of both.
You ask "What is the power, given to this ill constructed body? To judge" you reply, "What may be for the general welfare, and such judgments, when made the acts of Congress, become the supreme laws of the land. This seems a power extensive with every possible object of human legislation." This, Sir, is the "ill constructed" answer; which you have given to your own indecent question. A moment's calm reflection must have informed you, that no such legislative latitude is given to the house of representatives, except in the imposition of taxes, and in that branch, it must necessarily, be intrusted, because the line could not be drawn. Congress can make
no laws, except such, as are, essentially, necessary to carry into execution the particular powers, given to them by the Constitution. The clause, which follows the enumeration of these powers, invests Congress with a right "to make all laws, which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers invested. Are they unlimited? Are they "co-extensive with every possible object of human legislation?" Divest yourself, Sir, for a moment, of your violent prejudices, and read the Federal Constitution with the philosophic calmness of a man, who is in search after truth, and, unless your mind is obstinately shut up against conviction, you will find, that they are not.
"There is no restraint," you say "in form of a bill of rights to secure (what Doctor Blackstone calls) that residuum of human rights, which is not intended to be given up to society, and, which is not, indeed, necessary to be given up for any social purpose. The rights of conscience, the freedom of the press, and the trial by jury are at mercy. Really, Sir, I am at loss, which to admire the most; the uncommon talent, that you have discovered for inventing objections—or the consummate assurance, with which you have imposed these objections on the public. Alternately impelled by the weakness and fury of your passions you go on, in a rapid progression, from error to error, without giving your reason a moment's interval to exert itself. You, certainly, must know, Sir, that bills of rights are, only, necessary in those governments, in which there is a claim of power independent of, and not derived from the people; such as the divine and hereditary right claimed by Kings. Six states are destitute of bills of rights, yet they are no less free than we.
