LONDON June 19. A scheme is now in agitation for the establishment of a land conveyance between China and Bengal, for the more speedy dispatch of intelligence from Canton to Europe, and vice versa. This is proposed to be accomplished by the communication of a caravan, after the manner of the East, across the Peninsula of the Further India, to the mouth of the Ganges, near Dycabad. The proposal has been communicated to the Chinese, with whom the accomplishment now rests, and if it should be completed and carried into execution, its advantages will be great. The present proposed route is from Canton to Tonkin, from Tonkin to Leigech, from Leigech to Chittagong, and from Chittagong to Dycabad. The practicability is doubtful; but if the Chinese Emperor agrees, an attempt will be made at least. The Russians are planning a similar scheme from Canton to Kamchatka.
HOUSE OF LORDS. Wednesday July 2. THE order of the day was moved, to receive the report of the Committee upon the bill for regulating ships employed in the SLAVE TRADE. The Clerk continued to read the amendments until seven o'clock. They were so numerous and multifarious, that it may fairly be called a new bill. Several fresh amendments proposed, two of which of no great importance were accepted, and the others rejected. When the House came to that clause which enacts that no goods or merchandise in packages, hogsheads &c. shall be placed or stowed in those parts of the ship, which are appropriated for the reception of the slaves, a debate arose. The Lord Chancellor left the wool-sack, and objected to the whole of the clause. His Lordship said, that he could not give the House better information upon the subject, than he had received in a paper just put into his hands by Mr. Tarleton of Liverpool. His Lordship read the paper, which briefly set forth, that upon many occasions, in pulling up, or stowing away the water into the ship's hold, in laying in casks of provisions, &c. &c. it was utterly impracticable to comply with that clause of the bill. That there was usually a range of presses between decks, where the slops and apparel which was destined for the market was placed. Now, if the Captain was prohibited from taking in any slaves, until the merchandise was all cleared away, this range of presses must be destroyed before the goods were disposed of, which would be a very great injury to the owners, and no possible benefit to the slaves. The Lord Chancellor urged the reasonableness of these objections to the clause, and gave his opinion that it ought to be rejected. The Earl of Hopetoun, instead of agreeing with the Chancellor, moved an amendment, which went considerably to strengthen the clause; upon this, a long conversation took place, in which the Duke of Richmond supported the original clause, with great force of argument, and likewise acceded to the amendment. This was opposed by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Chandos, and Lord Walsingham, and replied to by Earl Stanhope, Lord Shelburne, and Lord Hopetoun. The House divided.
Contents to the amendment 24 Non-contents 17 The Earl of Hopetoun's amendment, with the original clause, was then put and carried. The remainder of the bill was then reported and agreed to, when
Lord Shelburne rose, and after a short speech introduced four new propositions. The first, second, and third, he would immediately lay before their Lordships; the fourth being a money matter, he had well grounded hopes would be taken up in another place, and brought back to their Lordships. The first proposition was, that no person should be appointed to the command of a ship upon the slave trade, unless he had before had such a command, or have been chief mate two voyages. The second, that no ship should be suffered to clear out from any port in Great-Britain for such voyage, unless the chief officer of the Customs at that port saw that there was an able surgeon engaged for the service of the ship. These clauses, his Lordship said, wanted no elucidation, as the necessity and utility of them was apparent. The third, which his Lordship deemed the most important, that no ship once whatever should be made upon the value of the slaves, but that insurances upon African ships bound to the West-Indies, in future, should be restrained to the ships, the merchandise, &c. without including the nominal value of the slaves. His Lordship argued that this restriction would go further towards supporting the intentions of the bill, than all the other regulations of it. The fourth proposition his Lordship observed must be left to the House of Commons to adopt as a part of the bill, namely, to allow a bounty of 100l. to the masters, and 50 to the surgeon, over and above all other bounties and privileges belonging to the trade, in case the lots sustained amongst the slaves during the voyage, did not amount to more than two per cent. valuing each negro at ten pounds per head when he was received on board the ship. This would be the highest inducement to the Captain and Surgeon to exert themselves by every method in their power, to preserve the unhappy persons [these were his own words] which composed the cargo. It would likewise in a great measure operate as a recompence to the merchant for the detriment which he might sustain by the limitation of the number to be taken on board. It would induce the Captain and owners to make their voyages directly to the British islands, and not to carry on an illicit trade with the French and Spaniards, through the medium of the neutral islands. And last, it would counterbalance in the most effectual manner, the bounties which are at present given by the French to the ships which are employed in that trade.
The House received these propositions with the strongest marks of approbation.
Lord Walsingham, laid a few words, in which he gave his hearty assent to the amendments. The Duke of Chandos desired, before the bill finally passed, to inform the House, that he had that day received a letter from Mr. Fuller, which contained extracts of two letters from the last ships from Jamaica; one from Mr. Hibbert, the other from Mr. Cluett, which in strong terms, declared their apprehensions of the consequences of the present bill. That it had been imprudently mentioned at the tables of the planters, and from thence had been circulated amongst the slaves; the numbers in that island alone amounted to upward of 25,000, whilst the whites were only 23,000. That in the parish of St. John's, the disaffection had already appeared very strong; and that if it had not been timely discovered, it would have ripened into an open rebellion. That the militia of the island must be called out, or there would be no security; for that it was the general opinion of the negroes, that the King, Lords, and Commons, were in their favor; and that it was only the selfishness and cruelty of their masters, which prevented their being delivered from slavery.
The Duke of Richmond paid many compliments to
to Mr. Fuller, but he could by no means admit his opinion founded upon extracts of letters, which at best were but the bare opinions of the persons who sent them. As to the disaffection in the parish of St. John's, the fact itself was the best answer, for the letter stated, that immediately upon its appearance, proper measures had been taken, and no mischief had arisen; so that upon the whole those fears were merely ideal. As to the opinion of the slaves, that King, Lords, and Commons, were in favor of them, his Grace said, he hoped to God it was true, so far as it went to a proper regulation. Lord Shelburne said, he had always been in favor of a proper regulation to a certain extent; and he apprehended it would eventually benefit the trade instead of injuring it—much less proving its utter annihilation. Lord Hopetoun, Earl Stanhope, Lord Walsingham, and several other noble Lords spoke, after which the three additional clauses were brought up, read a first and second time, and added to the bill. The whole report was received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time this day.

Monday, 25th, arrived, brig George, Daniel Collis, 18 days from Cape Francois, 11 from Turks Island. Captain A. Jones, was cast away on the back of Long Island, in the gale of wind on Tuesday last.

PHILADELPHIA, August 28. Extract of a letter from Talbot, August 11. "Mr. Duncan Campbell's whole arm was amputated, notwithstanding every attention that could be paid to him, is since dead. He had been a brave soldier in the late war, and died, to use his own expression, a Federalist. The other * is in a fair way of recovery." * These two unfortunate men were wounded at the rejoicing on account of the ratification of the new constitution, by the accidental discharge of a gun which had been improperly loaded.
The following is a copy of a letter from Captain Daniel Thompson commander of the Crown Cutter, to Captain Stephen Moore, belonging to this port, dated Gibraltar Bay, May 26, 1788.
SIR, "I am ordered by Joze Sanches de Brito, Admiral and Commander in Chief of her most faithful Majesty's Squadron, to make known to you, that he has positive orders for protecting and convoying any American ship or ships against the Regency of Algiers, or any of the African powers at war with America, for which, at your departure from this, if you find it necessary for convoy you will please make me acquainted when and where you wish to proceed, that the same may be communicated to the Admiral, for his appointing the same." We hear, that in consequence of the heavy and constant rains during the late harvest, the wheat in many parts of the State is much injured. The Indian corn never appeared more promising. The flax is of an excellent quality, and the quantity of it gathered this year greatly exceeds any quantity ever before cultivated in Pennsylvania.
We are sorry to inform our readers, that a great deal of damage has been done to the mills, meadows, bridges and roads, in the neighborhood of the city, by the heavy rain which fell on Tuesday the 19th of this month. The height of the water, which fell between Sunday evening and 12 o'clock on Tuesday following, was seven inches and a quarter.
On Tuesday next the Honorable General Assembly of this commonwealth is to meet here pursuant to adjournment.
On Sunday the 17th inst. the Lutheran Clergy consecrated to the service of God, in the presence of upwards of 300 people from different parts of the state, a superb and elegant stone building, of an excellent workmanship, in Tulpehocken township, in the county of Berks, by name of CHRIST-CHURCH.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the people of this neighborhood. They have exhibited, in raising this temple (which is 70 feet in length and 55 in breadth) an intermixture of benevolence, industry and taste, that is not surpassed on the continent. The execution of the work will bear the inspection of critics in architecture, and as the building was at their own expence, it will stand a convincing monument to the world, that notwithstanding the distresses of the community in general, the sober, frugal and industrious German farmer had it in his power, out of that piety with which he was blessed, to return a tribute of thanks, which we trust will not be unacceptable to the Supreme being, the great Giver of Gifts.

THERE has lately been a dispute among one of the first literary clubs in London on this question, "Whether the present practice of medicine and mode of treating diseases and complaints of the body throughout the world, is on the whole of any general service to the lifespan and health of mankind?" The decision appeared in the negative. With what propriety this decision was made, I do not presume to think myself a proper judge. I beg liberty, however, to declare, that I believe it may be very justly applied within the circle of my own acquaintance; and that the medical draught, as far as I have had opportunity to observe, is generally a composition of evil, which multiplies the number of diseases and shortens the period of common life. This opinion will, perhaps, appear judicious to the unprejudiced, when they consider the variety of medical impostors, who are scattered over the country; and with what facility they impose on the credulity of the vulgar, and recommend themselves to their esteem and favour.
Connecticut is, perhaps, better supplied with physicians, than any of the United States; and yet is poisoned with imposition and quackery. SAN GUINAREUS commenced doctor with little learning and no art. His passions were too sluggish to recommend him to vulgar admiration; and his ignorance would never suffer him to impose on those of better understanding, by any prudent behaviour. His stubbornness and servility, only increased his insignificance; and he passed through the streets as a harmless creature of no consequence. Thus he had the pleasure to consume a number of years with very little notice or regard; and was sometimes selling timber among rocks, and at others teaching literature out of the New-England Primer, and Thomas Dilworth's Spelling Book. Some people suppose New-York to be equally well supplied.
Book. Accident, however, has contributed to effect more than even the dreams of his drowsy genius had ever prompted him to expect. By the death of one physician and the departure of another, his place became vacant; necessity led him to employment; and his name became exalted, like Doctor Sangrado's, by letting blood and giving nobody knows what. He considers every patient as under the same malady, and treats them with the same remedy. Every one is the subject of his lancet; and the slightest complaint terminates in a fore disease and wonderful cure. Thus the town is kept in perpetual paleness, and the doctor rides night and day, with wonderful success and encroaching reputation. WILLIAM CARBO has been among the Indians, and professes to have acquired wonderful skill from his companions, in the most inveterate diseases. Hence he is constantly among the sick, and no reward can be too great a compensation for his services. Though he never read a book in his life, and despises learning, he teaches others and sends them forward to heal diseases and do good to mankind. ABRAHAM HOECORN from a neighbouring county, after drudging thro' his minority in the services of a parish clown, has had the good fortune to live with a doctor, whose library consists of
Quincy's Dispensatory, Entic's Dictionary, Allen's Synopsis, Robinson's Guide, and Pilgrim's Progress.
In these books he has spent Saturday nights and Sundays, whilst the rest of his time has been wasted in fetching horses, making ointments, weeding garden and lolling at the blacksmith's shop. By such accomplishments and diligence he has received a diploma from his teacher; and at length passes for a false doctor, that will do no harm if he does no good. His ointments of tobacco, &c. are wonderfully celebrated; he professes admirable skill in setting bones, and the streets begin to limp under his direction. HORTENSIUS has been a practitioner not less than thirty years; and acquired great reputation and much interest, without purchasing a single author or forming a new prescription. Contrayerva and whale's greave, tolemary and sow bugs, continue to answer his purpose; and his name will be remembered for wonderful eye water and hysterics pills, when the memory of departed genius, is lost in oblivion. DOC TOR TIT FOR was taken from the plough, read Corderius, taught a school a single winter, and studied physe nine months with one of his own rank. In the first year of his practice he professes very marvellous skill, has seen wonderful cases, and read strange authors. He cures the dropsy and removes worms with the greatest certainty; his hair is clubbed like a scholar's, and he whips among the old women that he has been to college. Hence he is in full business; the new doctor can cure every body; and the story goes, that he will soon take the cash for an accoucheur or man midwife. That persons of the present description are scattered in every county and in most towns, is certainly true; and that the majority of the sick and wounded are in their hands, general observation will warrant me to assert. That they are generally ignorant needs no further demonstration; and that they commit more mischief and violence on the human body than is balanced by the learned practitioners, will appear further probable, when we consider the obstacles and imperfections of the latter.
A young man of good education and genius generally enters the medical profession with much confidence and pleasurable expectation. He flatters himself that diseases will fly before him, and every complaint be as regularly reduced to genus and order as a plant or an animal. He never so much as dreams that merit may be neglected or unknown; and concludes in the delusion of his fancy, that he shall soon be a great benefactor to society, and meet the abundant praises and rewards of his employers. In these sentiments, however, he soon finds himself disappointed, and perceives that he is not likely to be of that benefit to society which he had expected. A few years experience confirms him in this opinion and demonstrates a train of melancholy facts. Much of his time is unavoidably lost among some who do not need him, and others he cannot relieve. New events convince him of new errors: and his patients are frequently injured by that blindness which no diligence can enlighten. Instead of being rewarded according to his merit, he finds himself applauded for accidental success, and censured for unavoidable fate; the ignorant or insignificant interrupt him; and even his own friends forsake him, to die by the hands of a quack. Humbled and vexed, he sees himself useless in many cases, and neglected in others; his authors never answer the height of his expectations; theories are perpetually changing; cases are misrepresented; systems are delusive, and life with all its cares and trouble, proves too short to make much improvement by his own experience. Thus he leaves his profession in old age, with less opinion of his importance, than when he entered upon it, under the inexperience of youth.
In conclusion of the present remarks, I shall only observe, that they are not pointed at any particular characters, neither are they to destroy general confidence in physicians of honesty and understanding. The only design is to convince the public if possible—That those who practice physic without literature and good sense are poisonous characters in society; and that others, who are the best qualified in their profession, are obstructed in their progress of doing good, by such impediments.
Surely a good physician is of all men the most desirable. The tears that are shed for the loss of EUGENIO, speak in favor of his profession; and the general sigh that rises on the recollection of his virtues, will preserve his name with more honor than the dignified monuments of marble. His natural understanding was improved by the greatest diligence; he was never offended at impertinence or envy; and his whole life was marked with benevolence and kindness. No man ever suffered by his neglect; he served the rich with integrity; and the afflicted cottages of the poor were made happy by a double share of his cheerfulness and attention. The period of his usefulness was limited to the narrow bounds of thirty five years. By constant study and frequent fatigue his delicate body became affected with a consumption; which he bore with rational resignation, till nature became exhausted and the melancholy scene was closed. He professed Christianity but could never be persuaded to join any particular church.

NEW-YORK, Sept. 2.
We are much concerned for the fate of one of our Pilot Boats—the FORTUNE—the property of Messrs. Daniel, Callahan and Ruddle. In the storm on Monday night the 25th ult. she was about 7 or 8 leagues S. E. of the Hook, in company with another pilot-boat. About 12 o'clock, just before the squalls came on, she was seen with her main sail and jib up. The next day her skiff was found bottom upwards, with an oar lashed to it. Diligent search and enquiry has been made after her but not the least information can be had. It is conjectured that she has been pressed under the water by the sudden violence of the wind, or received a fatal shock from the more viol't a blast of lightning which at that time filled the air. On board was Mr. Hallet, and two other Pilots, two boys and a negro man.
It is supposed that the thunder and lightning which accompanied the rain that evening was more severe and dreadful than ever before has been experienced by the oldest inhabitant.
S M I T H T O W N, (Long-Island) Aug. 18, 1788. Last Thursday being appointed by the inhabitants of this town, for celebrating the adoption of the new Constitution by our convention, the day was announced by firing a cannon at sunrise, and hoisting the flag of the United States.
At 2 o'clock most of the inhabitants of Smithtown, and many from Huntington, Illip, and Brookhaven, assembled at Smithtown church, where they were entertained with a very sensible and pertinent address, by Mr. JEFFERY SMITH, which was succeeded by a federal ode, in two parts, sung to the tune of "the Dauphin." At 5 o'clock the company partook of an excellent cold collation, which a number of patriotic ladies and gentlemen had previously prepared at their own houses and brought with them.
The tables were set on a fine green under the shade of the church; and while people of every rank were here feasting on the ricket bounty of the country, the ladies, and such gentlemen as chose it, were regaling themselves, in the neighbouring houses, on a cup of excellent hysop. After the repast, the following toasts were drank, each of which was re-echoed by the discharge of a twelve pounder, viz. 1. The United States. 2. Our Allies in Europe. 3. General Washington. 4. The Federal Government—Wisdom to the legislative, impartiality to the judicial, and undaunted resolution to the executive department. 5. May the martial genius of Columbia never sleep, though dandled on the lap of peace. 6. May bravery and probity ever enjoy the sweets of liberty. 7. The agriculture, manufactures, and commerce of the United States. 8. May the industrious farmer be gratefully remembered by all lovers of meat; nor may he be forgotten by those who eat bread. 9. Those who will not be our friends, may they never dare to be our foes. 10. May the arms of Columbia be ever open to exiled virtue. 11. May this day be productive of unanimity and friendship.
Beer and cyder were the only drink at this entertainment; no distilled liquors being necessary to animate the company's spirits on so joyful an occasion.
The most perfect harmony and good order prevailed thro' the day—benevolent joy glowed in every face—two or three only excepted, the wings of whose ambition was clip't by the shears of avarice. About sun-set the elderly people retired home—but the young ladies and gentlemen spent the twilight by walking in procession hand in hand, with a trumpet blowing in front, and other music playing in the rear. In the mean time a transparent painting was exhibited, which had a very pleasing effect. "Columbia's eagle crown'd with auspicious light," appeared, rising from a thick cloud, and winging his way through the sky. Eleven bright stars formed an arch over the eagle, one of which had just emerged from a cloud. Two other stars from beneath, appeared to emit a few feeble rays, but were be obscured by surrounding clouds, they could scarcely be seen. The full moon was also represented, just rising from a thick and tempestuous cloud, that seemed to settle away into the Eastern Hemisphere.
The remainder of the evening was spent in the pleasing exercise of dancing. Never, perhaps, was there more perfect satisfaction given on such an occasion!—And what contributed much to it, was the generosity of those who provided for the day. The company was very large, yet there was enough and to spare. The Indians and Negroes had what they would eat, and there was still much left, which was distributed among the poor.
