Mr. CHILDS. The following Lines were accidentally met with in an old Magazine, viz.  THE ambitious fair who strives for beauty's prize, And hopes to Helen's glorious fame to rise, These thirty charms must have to bless a lover's eyes: Three white, three black, and three of rosy hue, Three long, three short, three slender to the view, Three large, three small, three strait, as many wide, All these together form the accomplish'd bride. As an explanation of the same would much oblige several ladies as well as gentlemen, you are requested to insert them in your entertaining paper, and acquaint your correspondents that we will be greatly obliged to any one who will inform us what are those thirty charms to compleat a beauty. Your's, &c. CHARLES. March 19.
S A L E M, March 4. 1 Elisha Thomas, of New-Durham, in New-Hampshire, who, not long since, we mentioned of having barbarously murdered a Capt. Drown, made his escape, but soon after was apprehended, and committed to the goal in Dover. Thomas left at home, his wife and six children. Some days after, his wife, taking with her his youngest child in her arms, to one of the neighbors, set out for Dover, to see her husband. In the night, the other five being in bed, the eldest of them (a boy) waked from his sleep by the falling of a board from the wall on the bed, which, with the house, he saw was in a flame. Springing instantly from the bed, he in vain attempted to save from the flames, his four brothers and sisters, who, with the house, in a short time were reduced to ashes, himself only escaping to tell the news.
NEW-YORK, March 20. A Boston paper, of March 8, says, a gentleman of undoubted veracity assures a correspondent, that his Excellency JOHN COLLINS, Esq. Governor of Rhode-Island, is decidedly in favor of the New Constitution: his feelings were therefore hurt at seeing, in one of the late papers, an attack upon him, as being in an opposite principle. The same paper mentions, that a resolve passed the Hon. House of Representatives, by a majority of 11, for pardoning and restoring to the privileges of a freeman, the famous Captain Luke Day; who, for some time past, has been confined in the gaol of Boston. On Tuesday arrived the sloop Mermaid, Watson, from Philadelphia; and yesterday arrived the sloop Washington, Webster, from Rhode-Island, and Sloop Sally, Lawrence, from Cape-Francois. The brig Joseph and Maria, from Norfolk for Martinique, put into Demarara-leaky the 13th Jan. last.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, P O U G H K E E P S I E. Friday, March 7, 1788. [Concluded.] Mr. Benson said, it would be best not to precipitate this question; there were other parts of the Bill that might be proceeded to. The object of the motion was to pay a part of the debt, and to make a preference; if such a plan was pursued, it would be to the exclusion of all other creditors. It is impossible to pay off all the debts at once: it could only be an attempt, and that attempt ought not to be partial. He was against the clause, because no good could be answered by it. No man could tell what money would be in the Treasury after the other appropriations were paid off. In order that the motion should be decided properly, it should be altered so as to distribute the money equally to the certificate holders. It was a great question what ought to be done; the State was equally bound in good faith and justice to provide for all its creditors. He would, however, admit that promises made under certain circumstances might require particular attention, but the clause passed the other day, authorising persons to go to the Treasury, and to take back their certificates, did away all claim of preference. To make new promises would only be adding deception to deception. He believed that until the State came to some settled system of finance, every partial payment was an injury. He could not agree to the proposition. Mr. Brooks said, it had been observed that a clause had been passed permitting persons who had loaned certificates to take them back again. At the time when the resolution of Congress was passed, it was intended by them that the facilities should circulate through-
out the United States and be collected in taxes. They were now in a different situation. By our law they had been compelled either to loan their certificates to the State, or to keep them and draw the facilities, and take their chance of selling them to such States as might perhaps have occasion for them, in order to comply with the requisitions of Congress. Mr. Benson would agree to put them in the same situation, as if they had not made a loan to the State. Mr. Jones had cautiously avoided saying much on this occasion, but he was compelled to make one observation more, and he would then submit the question. One strong inducement for the Legislature making that loan, was to benefit the citizens of the State who had actually gained 70,000. in money. The neighboring States of New-Jersey and Connecticut, it was well known, had not yet acceded to the act of Congress; and had New-York have laid a tax in those facilities, the advantage would have been equal to the citizens of those States, as well as New-York. He really believed that the public creditors, in this State, were better off than in any State in the Union. Mr. Benson said, it was in the power of the Legislature to direct the Treasurer to return to them the whole of their certificates. To say that they should be paid after the other appropriations were made, would be doing nothing. A question was then taken for the Committee to rise, and carried in the negative. A division was then called on the clause:  Affirmative. Messrs. Nevin, J. Smith, Wyckoff, Patterson, De Witt, Bruyn, Bloom, Osborn, Verplanck, Wisner, Brooks, Clinton, Lewis, N. Smith, Drake, Clarke. 16  Negative. Messrs. Jones, Carman, Cornwall, Dongan, Winant, Doughty, Sylvester, Teare, Baker, Gilbert, Strang, Speaker, Van Orden, Frey, Arent, Tillotson, Powers, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Benson, Hedges, Low, Younglove, Thompson, Tompkins, Harrison, Winn, Lockwood, Veeder, Thomas. 32 Mr. Brooks then moved for the following clause: "And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Treasurer of the State be, and he is hereby authorised and required, after payment of the several sums herein before mentioned, and the second moiety of the monies to be paid to the United States in Congress assembled, pursuant to the act, entitled, "An Act, acceding to the acts of Congress, of the 2d day of August, 1786," to set apart, and apply such sum as will be sufficient for the payment of one third part of the monies remaining due on the Certificates, issued for the four-fifth parts of the interest of the Public Securities, which have been loaned to this State, by virtue of the act, entitled, "An Act to emit the sum of £. 200,000, in bills of credit, for the purposes therein mentioned," passed the 18th day of April, 1783, which said sum shall be distributed to the several holders of the said Certificates, in proportion to the respective amount thereof; and the sum paid upon each Certificate, shall, by the said Treasurer, be endorsed thereon. The division was taken on this clause:  Affirmative. Messrs. Niven, Patterson, De Witt, Speaker, Bruyn, Bloom, Verplanck, Wisner, Brooks, Clinton, Lewis, N. Smith, Clark, Lockwood, Thomas. 15  Negative. Messrs. Jones, Carman, Cornwall, Winant, J. Smith, Doughty, Sylvester, Baker, Gilbert, Strang, Van Orden, Frey, Arent, Tillotson, Powers, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Benson, Hedges, Osborn, Low, Younglove, Thompson, Harrison, Drake, Veeder. 28 Mr. Brooks then moved for the following clause: "And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if there shall be any money in the treasury of this State on the first day of January next, and after payment of the sums already particularly directed by law to be paid, or, that during the present session of the Legislature may be directed to be paid, by the Treasurer of this State, or appropriated for other purposes, the Treasurer shall and may advertise the amount of such money, so remaining in the treasury unappropriated, and that he will divide the same among the holders of the Certificates, issued for the four-fifth parts of the interest of the Public Securities, which have been loaned to this State, by virtue of the act, entitled, "An Act to emit the sum of £. 200,000, in bills of credit, for the purposes therein mentioned," passed the 18th day of April, 1786, proportionally to the sums due upon their several Certificates; and the said Treasurer shall, on the first day of February, proceed to pay the same money, in proportion as aforesaid, endorsing the amount of such payment upon the said Certificates, respectively." The division was taken on this clause:  Affirmative. Messrs. Cornwall, Dongan, Winant, Niven, Wyckoff, Sylvester, Patterson, De Witt, Gilbert, Strang, Speaker, Van Orden, Arent, Powers, Cantine, Bruyn, Bloom, Osborn, Verplanck, Wisner, Younglove, Brooks, Thompson, Lew-
is, Tompkins, Harrison, N. Smith, Drake, Winn, Clarke, Jones. 31  Negative. Messrs. Carman, Doughty, Teare, Baker, Frey, Tillotson, Webster, Savage, Benson, Hedges, Low, Veeder. 12 The Committee then rose and reported the Bill; when it was ordered to be engrossed. A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill to repeal the acts therein mentioned; with an amendment, to strike out that clause, which repeals the discrimination act. The House took the same into consideration, and determined not to agree to the amendment. Another message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill to enable the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonality of the City of Albany, to raise 500. for the purposes therein mentioned. The Bill for the more effectual collection of the arrears of Taxes, heretofore made payable in Public Securities; was read a third time, and passed the House. Adjourned till 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.
MR. PRINTER, SUPPOSE that it would cost any sum from 10 to 20,000. to erect water works and supply the houses in this city with water from the place intended some years ago; let a law pass, vesting the Corporation with power to lay an easy tax annually, (say about one fifth of the whole sum required) and the same annually deposited in the bank, or laid out in bank stock, (which will be better) until four fifths of the sum wanted is raised, then to sell part of the stock in shares as the money may be wanted to pay for materials and workmanship, which in the mean while may go on, until nearly the whole is sold out, when a small tax may be raised on the inhabitants, which, with the amount of the dividend in the mean time accruing, to make up the sum required. After which, the Corporation to render accounts for the said taxes and expenditures, &c. by submitting them with the vouchers, to gentlemen to be chosen by the inhabitants at their annual elections, one for each ward of the city, and by publishing them in the newspapers for the satisfaction of the said inhabitants. The said corporation in future to be vested with the care and management of the said works and the appurtenances thereto belonging, and to lay such taxes only on the inhabitants as to keep them in compleat repair, always annually accounting for their taxes and expenditures in manner aforesaid.

Prospects on the Rubicon: OR, An Investigation into the Causes and Consequences of the Politics, to be agitated at the Meeting of Parliament. L O N D O N: Printed for J. DEBRET, Piccadilly, 1787. [Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.] [Continued from our Paper of March 13.] IF the Stadtholder made use of the power he held in the government to expose and endanger the interests and property of the very people who supported him, what other incentive does any man in any country require? If the Hollanders conceived the conduct of the Stadtholder injurious to their national interest, they had the same right to expel him which England had to expel the Stuarts; and the interference of England to re-establish him, serves only to confirm in the Hollanders the same hatred against England which the attempt of Lewis the XIVth, to re-establish the Stuarts caused in England against France; therefore, if the present policy is to attach Holland to England, it goes on a principle exceedingly erroneous. Let us now consider the situation of the Stadtholder, as making another part of the question. He must place the cause of his troubles to some secret influence which governed his conduct during the late war, or in other words, that he was suspected of being the tool of the then British administration. Therefore, as every part of an argument ought to have its weight, instead of charging the French of intriguing with the Hollanders, the charge more consistently lies against the British ministry, for intriguing with the Stadtholder, and endangering the nation in a war without a sufficient object. That which the ministry are now doing confirms the suspicion, and explains to the Hollanders that collusion of the Stadtholder against their national interests, which he must wish to have concealed, and the explanation does him more hurt than the unnecessary parade of service has done him good. Nothing but necessity should have operated with England to appear openly in a case that must put the Stadtholder on still worse terms with his countrymen. Had France made any disposition for war, had she armed, had she made any one hostile preparation, there might then have been some pretence for England taking a
step, that cannot fail to expose to the world that the suspicions of the Hollanders against the Stadtholder were well founded, and that their cause was just, however unsuccessful has been the event. As to the consequence of Holland in the scale of Europe (the great stake, say some of the newspapers, for which England is contending) that is naturally pointed out by her condition: As merchants for other nations, her interest dictates to her to be a neutral power, and this she always will be unless she is made war upon, as was the case in the last war; and any expectation beyond what is the line of her interest, that is, beyond neutrality, either in England or France, will prove abortive. It therefore cannot be policy to go to war to effect that at a great expence, which will naturally happen of itself, and beyond which there is nothing to expect. Let Holland be allied with England or with France, or with neither, or with both, her national conduct, consequently arising out of her circumstances, will be nearly the same, that is, she will be neutral. Alliances have such a natural tendency to sink into harmless unoperative things, that to make them a cause for going to war, either to prevent their being formed, or to break any already formed, is the silliest speculation that war can be made upon, or wealth wasted to accomplish. It would scarcely be worth the attempt, if war could be carried on without expence, because almost the whole that can be hoped at the risk and expence of a war, is effected by their natural tendency to inactivity. However pompous the declarations of an alliance may be, the object of many of them is no other than good will, and reciprocally securing, as far as such security can go, that neither shall join the enemies of the other in any war that may happen. But the national circumstances of Holland, operate to ensure this tranquility on her part as effectually to the power she is not allied with, as the engagement itself does to the power with whom she is allied; therefore the security from circumstances is as good as the security from engagement. As to a cordial union of interest between Holland and England, it is as unnatural to happen as between two individual rivals in the same trade: And if there is any step that England could take to put it at a still greater distance, it is the part she is now acting. She has increased the animosity of Holland on the speculative politics of interfering the Stadtholder, whose future repose depends upon uniting with the opposition in Holland, as the present reign did with the Scotch. How foolish then has been the policy, how needless the expence, of endangering a war on account of the affairs of Holland. A cordiality between England and France is less improbable than between England and Holland. It is not how an Englishman feels but how a Dutchman feels, that decides this question. Between England and France there is no real rivalry of interest; it is more the effect of temper, disposition, and the jealousy of confiding in each other, than any substantial cause, that keeps up the animosity. But on the part of Holland towards England there is over and above the spirit of animosity, the more powerful motives of interested commercial rivalry, and the galling remembrance of past injuries. The making war upon them under Lord North's administration, when they were taking no part in the hostilities, but merely acting the business of merchants, is a circumstance that will not easily be forgotten by them. On these reasons, therefore, which are naturally deduced from the operative feelings of mankind, any expectation of attaching Holland to England as a friendly power, is vague and futile. Nature has her own way of working in the heart, and all plans of politics not founded thereon will disappoint themselves. [To be continued.] ** A Citizen, and real Friend to Order and good Government, is received, and will appear to-morrow.

SLENDER, WILL cover for the Season at Sans-Souci, Col. White's farm, 6 miles from New-York, on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Savannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning his colts, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars.
Slender is a fine bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, strength and speed are superior to any horse ever imported from England. He was bred by the Duke of Queenberry, who took three punts with him at New-Market, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sporting calendars of 1782 and 1783. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second Spring meeting, 1782, and at the July meeting following, took both punts, and beat 25 of the first colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing calendars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Peerless; Mr. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgin; Mr. Putney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Panton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tatters-
fall's bay filly got by Eclipse; Mr. Packer's chesnut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chesnut colt got by his Arabian; Lord Egremont's bay filly got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay filly got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweetbriar; and Mr. Gohing's chesnut colt got by Sweetbriar, were the thirteen that run for the first punt. The twelve that started for the second punt with Slender were Lord Offory's Coxcomb; Mr. Colding's Gilliflower; His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Egremont's Countess; Mr. Putney's Straight-leg; Duke of Grafton's Harling; Lord Clermont's Cat; Mr. Pegatt's Maypole; Mr. Vernon's chesnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay filly got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chesnut colt got by Sweet William, and Mr. Tattersall's filly got by Metaphysician. At New-Market, the first Spring meeting 1783, Slender, at 4 years old, took the punt, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gameter, and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge, the July following, he took the punt, and beat Mrs. Dally's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is full brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the first horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1782 and 1783, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Paymaster, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Commodore Brag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won punts at New-Market. Slender's granddam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Miss Cleveland, who is the dam of that well known son of Old Snap, Taggart; he is also the sire of Tandam's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, Wicham, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shatto refused 1800 guineas for Tandam, when he was rising five years old. Slender's granddam was also a daughter of Sore Heels, which mare was the dam of Matchless, South, and Danbay Cade, a daughter of Makeless, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Matchless was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is too well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is sufficient to say he got the dam of Babraham. Makeless was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sore Heels was got by Balo, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Scar, and brother to the dam of Bay Mott, Old Crab, Black Legs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxbury Galloway. Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queensberry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.
NABOB, WILL cover Mares, for the season, at Sans Souci, at Four Dollars, and half a Dollar to the Groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered. NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high; he was got by Frederick, a full bred hunter, his dam by Figure, his granddam by Old Britain, his great dam by a Chickieah horse, brought from the Nation; he is in perfect health, in full toned virility, possessed of instinct, and with all, a genuine spirit. The above horse may be seen at Sans Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedigrees, certificates, &c. &c. &c.
TAMERLANE WILL cover Mares for the season, at Col. Anthony W. White's farm, the Cool Spring Cottage, one mile and a half from the City of New-Brunswick, for FIVE DOLLARS the season, any kind of country produce, sheep, calves or hogs, that Mr. John D. Alvey, will certify is worth that sum, but his certificate must be produced, before the Mares are covered, that he has received the Five Dollars, or what is equal in value to the same. TAMERLANE is a bright bay, fifteen hands three inches and a half high; his great strength strikes the eye at once, from the uncommon depth and slope of his shoulders, the breadth of his quarter, his length of barrel, and the shortness of his back; he is free from all natural blemishes; his pedigree has been to often published, that it is needless to enter on it at present; his purity of blood is equal to any horse bred in this country; he is a remarkable fine horse, most of the mares he covered in New-Jersey, proved in foal, and a great number of those covered by him in New-York; his colts in general, are allowed to be the largest, and best ever foaled in this country; those of his get, at the Southward, have been tried, when on the turf behaved well, they answered to the whip, and had both bottom and speed. They are to be sold after the season for covering is over. Any person wishing to purchase, may know the terms by applying to Col. John Bayard, Philadelphia; William Paterson, Esq. New-Brunswick; William Popham, Esq. New-York, or to Col. Anthony W. White, at Sans Souci. Good pasture will be provided at each stand of the abovenamed horses, by their grooms, at the usual rate; but the mares must be at the risk of the owner. March 17.
