O D E  For the FEDERAL PROCESSION,  Upon the Adoption of the New Government. Composed by Mr. L. O. W.
I. EMERGING from Old Ocean's bed, When fair Columbia reard her awful head To his enraptur'd view, whose dauntless soul Heav'n had impell'd t' explore the unknown goal; The genius of the solitary waste, With ecstasy the god-like man embrac'd Prophetic of her future state: And smil'd serene, and blest th' approaching day, When older Nations, envious, should survey Our Wisdom, Virtue, Pow'r how great But still she sigh'd and dropt a tear, And still she entertain'd a fear, Anticipating what she knew too well; And what, this memorable day, the Muse With retrospective ken reluctant views, And this blest Epocha forbids to tell. †
II. Distress'd the saw—but, with predictive eyes, Through scenes of horror future bliss deferys; Sees greater good from partial evil rises She knew how Empires rise and fall; That all the changes on this terrane ball Revolve by Heav'n's command, Nor can its will withstand— Submissive she that Pow'r ador'd, The Sovereign Universal Lord, Almighty, wise and good! Whose eye omniscient saw 'twas right, We should attain that glorious height, Through seas of kindred blood.
III. And lo! the all-important period's nigh, And swells the mighty theme— And Era, greater than the golden age Of which the Poets dream; And adds a wondrous, an illustrious page To this terrestrial Globe's vast history. Begin oh Muse, And far diffuse Th' inspiring news To Earth's remotest bound; Throughout the world let joy like ours be found, And Echo catch the animating Sound, Now all our highest hopes are crown'd, Through time's incessant round, Fame shall resound This long desir'd event, And tell what mighty blessings Heav'n has sent; Immortal fame, Whose loud acclaim Is deathless as the Poet's song, To countless ages shall the theme prolong.
IV. Ten Sovereign States, in Friendship's league combin'd, Blest with a Government, which does embrace The dearest Interests of the human race, This festive day, to joy resign'd, This signal day we celebrate— Let ev'ry patriot heart dilate; Let ev'ry care be banish'd far, Nor ought the honors of this solemn season mar. Behold th' admir'd Procession move along, Our sister States, the happy ten, to greet— What animation in the crowded Street! What buzzing eclat from each tongue! In beautiful arrangement lo! Majestically slow, Some thousand souls, a federal band, Advancing hand in hand— Heart-cheering sight! not half so much applause Did Alexander's pompous entries crown! Nor did he ever gain such true renown— This grand display can boast a nobler cause.
V. Hail Liberty, thou heav'n-born child! Young, smiling Cherub, virtuous, mild! We feel, we feel thy pow'r divine! These solemnities are thine! Our hearts o'erflow, Our bosoms glow, Sorrow fades, Joy pervades, Th' intoxicated senses! Floods of Transport fill the soul, And Melancholy's haggard train control, For now our Country's happiness commences!
VI. Joy to the Union, Fair Columbia hail! Distraction in our Councils now shall fail, And Strength, Respect and Wisdom join'd, prevail; Justice shall lift her well-pois'd Scale, With placid aspect, Peace her wand extend, And while rob'd Virtue from the Sky descend; Genius shall mount a glorious tow'ring height, By genial Science foster'd and refin'd, And every wretched our Offspring's temples bind— While dwindled Europe piques at the sight, Arts, still increasing, shall our clime adorn, Success and Wealth crown millions yet unborn, Glorious and smiling as the op'ning Morn! And, if fair Industry but prompt the hand, The cultur'd Earth shall teem at their command, And Health and Plenty glad Heav'n's fav'rite land; Pomona's charge shall grow luxuriant here, And bounteous Ceres crown the blissful year; Commerce shall raise her languid head— The Nation's dignity, which with her fled, Triumphant shall her place resume, And Navies start from the tall forests gloom.
VII. Joy to our far-fam'd Chief! whose peerless worth Makes Monarchs fickle at their royal birth; And thou, grown dim with Honorable age, Whose Lore shall grace the scientific page, Franklin, the patriot, venerable Sage, Of philosophic memory! And thou, Our City's boast, to whom so much we owe; In whom, tho' last and youngest of the three, No common share of excellence we see: In ev'ry grateful heart thou hast a place, Nor Time, nor Circumstance can e'er erase. All hail, ye Champions in your Country's cause! Soon shall that Country ring with your applause— With such, and with ten thousand Patriots more, To what vast Fame this Western World shall soar! Discord shall cease, and perfect Union reign, And all confess that sweetly-pow'rful chain, The Federal System, which, at once, unites The Thirteen States, and all the people's rights. Oh, may those rights be sacred to the end, And to our vast posterity descend; That beauteous Structure flourish and expand, And ceaseless Blessings crown our native Land!
* Columbus. † Alluding to the late war. ‡ Alexander Hamilton, Esquire.  N O T I C E.  I DO hereby forbid every and all persons trusting my wife MARIA TRAVIS on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of her contracting after this date, as she has cloped from my bed and board without any reason whatsoever. DAVID TRAVIS. July 23.
L O N D O N, May 16.  Whilst Ministers have been amusing the nation with statements of a promised surplus, circumstances have occurred on the Continent that portend a speedy dissolution to such expectations. The Spanish squadrons has actually put to sea. There is evidently a mutual understanding between the Courts of Spain and Morocco; and though the ostensible object of the Spaniards may be to oppose the entrance of the Russian fleet, there is much reason to apprehend some designs on Gibraltar. The king of Prussia, it is said, has entered Bohemia with an army of eighty thousand men. The Russian squadron intended for the Mediterranean, under the command of Admiral Greig, will consist of 26 ships of the line, viz. three of 100 guns, six of 90, four of 80, eleven of 74, and thirteen frigates from 36 to 40 guns. The above fleet will be manned by 15,000 sailors, including officers, and 28,000 troops are embarked on board as well infantry as cavalry, and divided into twenty battalions, viz. seven battalions of infantry, two of grenadiers, two of chasseur, two of artillery, one of Cossacks, with 1000 horse, and six battalions, so that the fleet will contain in all 43,800 men. The resolution of his Majesty to exclude from the port of Great Britain the ships of war belonging to the Belligerent powers, must of course prevent the Russians from entering the Mediterranean this year, and put them in future to great inconvenience in procuring provisions. It is a measure, however, of sound policy, and must prove particularly acceptable to the Swedes. The news hawkers in Paris have of late had most excellent employment, from the number of libellous palquinades, in private circulation, though not offered to be publicly sold. The one most in request is entitled, "Requete des filles a Monsieur le Duc d'Orleans." The Porters who keep the gates of the Palais Royal had received strict orders not to permit in future any lady of pleasure ( fille du monde ) to walk in the gardens. This prohibition produced the foregoing pamphlet; it is written in a very bold stile, and shews much wit and satire—so much so, that the hawker who circulated it has been obliged to decamp. There were but few copies printed off.
H A L I F A X, June 19.  Thursday last arrived the Antelope Packet, Capt. Curtis, in 7 days from New-York, and yesterday she sailed for Falmouth. Sunday arrived here the Ship Cunningham, Capt. Milne, from Liverpool, in England. And the ship Lucy, Capt. Robertson, from Glasgow, which she left about the tenth of May. July 3. Tuesday arrived the brig Apollo, Capt. Woodward, from Spain: this brig passed through the Spanish fleet, which was cruising in the Mediterranean, supposed to be looking out for the Russian fleet. The Sandwich packet may be hourly expected from Falmouth.  N E W - Y O R K, July 25.  Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, dated July 22. "On Saturday the Convention determined on the question being called to take the first proposition of Melancton Smith's into consideration: they then went into a review of the declaratory part or the Bill of Rights. Mr. Jay and Mr. Hamilton made some objections if I recollect aright, to the wording of the several political maxims, and contended that some of them were not expressed with precision and accuracy, altho' they were truths to which they readily yielded their assent. There was then an informal Committee appointed, consisting of Mr. Duane and Mr. Harrison on one side, and Mr. M. Smith and Judge Yates on the other, to correct the language of that part of the proposition so that the ideas might be fully and clearly understood. "Yesterday the Convention proceeded in the consideration of the first proposition, and spent the whole day in discussing the several amendments; they waved for the present the question whether any of them should be conditional or not. The one which prohibits the Congress from calling out the militia of one State into another for more than six weeks without the consent of its Legislature, occasioned a good deal of debate. Mr. Hamilton insisted that the restriction was an impolitic one—that if the States intended to guard as much as possible against standing armies under the new Government, they ought to yield it the command of the militia in the most unqualified terms—that to apprehend danger from a militia, while the States appointed all the officers, was quite a novel idea, and the offspring of the most unenlightened and distempered jealousy—that the experience of the late war had demonstrated the great utility of the militia on special occasions; and on the other hand, the improper remissness and indolence of the State Legislatures, in sending their militia to the assistance of their neighbors, until the war had approached to their own doors—Virginia was adduced as an instance of this—that the direction of the forces and strength of the community ought to be placed with confidence and without limitation in the hands of that body which was to provide for the common defence. Mr. Jay enforced the same ideas, and further contended, that the dictates of economy were against the amendment; for that on many occasions the government, contemplating their full and entire direction of the militia, would avoid the raising or the increase of their standing forces, to the degree that the national emergencies might otherwise require; and that the dictates of safety were against it: For as he and Mr. Hamilton, I think, both observed, the surest way to force government into the necessity of maintaining armies, was by fettering their authority over the militia. "Mr. N. Lawrence rose and observed, that decency to their constituents required that the amendment should be recommended, for that the
danger apprehended in giving the full command of the militia to Congress, had been a source of much uneasiness to their constituents. Mr. Hamilton, in reply, only observed, that the most effectual way to secure amendments, was by recommending such only as were valuable, and could be advocated on sober investigation—at all events we never ought to recommend a bad one. "This amendment was carried by all the Anti's on one side, and all the Federalists on the other. "The next amendment was restricting Congress from laying excises and direct taxes without a previous requisition. "Mr. Jones moved as an amendment to the first part, that no excise, except on ardent spirits, be laid by Congress—this was carried, and also the other part respecting direct taxes: The yeas and nays being called on, both of them, as well as on most of the amendments discussed. "There was some debate on the amendment restricting Congress from laying excises—It was demonstrated that the restriction was directly against the interest of this state, and in favor of the manufacturing states—that this state would not be a manufacturing state for a long series of years, and until we had a surplus of hands after all our waste land was occupied and cultivated—that some other states, as Pennsylvania and Connecticut, would speedily be great manufacturing states, and as they would continue to import, less as they increased in their manufactures, the importing states on whom the import in the first instance fell, and who would be the chief consumers, would continue to increase in the weight of the public burden. In reply to this reasoning, it was observed by Mr. Smith, that we could hereafter amend this part of the Constitution when the manufactures of this country should be so considerable as to become a productive source of revenue. But Mr. Hamilton observed, that 3/4ths of the states must concur in amendments, and the manufacturing states would not be likely after this period to consent to alterations in order to increase their own burdens—that the clause they now proposed to introduce, if adopted, would probably be fixed permanently to the direct and palpable injury of our own state. However, all this reasoning would not do—the amendments considered yesterday were all carried by the entire voice of the opposition. "Mr. Tredwell was against those amendments too, he said, as well as the Federalists, but upon a different principle—he considered them as still containing most unwarrantable donations of power, and that the arm of Congress ought to be further tied down under the new Constitution. "Judge Wylot made an effort yesterday to discuss the amendments and expose the fallacy of the arguments urged against them—he spoke so low and so thick that I lost the greater part of his reasoning. The singular idea which he advanced relative to taxation was, that direct taxes , and not excises and imposts, &c. were the most equitable tax—that it was the most eligible one too, for it would be apportioned upon the rich and poor, according to their circumstances. "To-Day the Convention have been also upon the consideration of the amendments—most all of them were carried, and very little debate on any of them. The amendment for giving the president a council in the appointment to offices, was rejected by a great majority; only ten voted for it. Several of the opposition, and among the rest Mr. M. Smith, voted against the amendment for requiring two-thirds of Congress to concur in declaring war: However, it was carried."
On Wednesday evening the PRINTERS, BOOK-SELLERS, and BOOK-BINDERS of this City, who had attended the Procession, assembled at the house of Mr. W. Bradford, and spent the Evening together, with the greatest good humor, harmony and social glee; at which time the following toasts were drank—each attended by three cheers, from the whole company.
 1. The Day—May the happiness thereof prove a pleasing anticipation of American prosperity.  2. The CONGRESS of the United States.  3. His Excellency Benjamin Franklin, the venerable Printer.  4. Colonel Hamilton, and the other Federal Members of the Convention of this State.  5. His Excellency General Washington.  6. The Hon. General Knox.  7. May the virtuous attraction of the ten, be irresistibly felt by the three.  8. May the Sons of America ever defend the Liberty of the Press.  9. May the demon of infatuation be banished from the Councils of our State.  10. Wisdom in our Councils, Strength in our Fortresses, and Beauty in our Manufactures.  11. The State of New-York, and its speedy adoption of the new Constitution. 
PERCY GASTLE, July 24, 1788.  Mr. Childs, Yesterday being the epocha of the best Constitution ever formed on earth to promote the happiness of the inhabitants of this great and rising empire, a number of the unfortunate citizens confined here, assembled together with heart-felt joy, to celebrate the same; which they did with the utmost cheerfulness, harmony and conviviality; and after dinner drank the following toasts, which you will please to publish in your useful paper: N.B. There were 13 in each company.   1. The Majesty of the People of America.  2. The Ten States who have adopted the Constitution.  3. The Congress.  4. The Fair Daughters of Columbia.  5. General Washington.  6. The King and Queen of France.  7. May Agriculture and Manufactures flourish in America.  8. Trade and Navigation.  9. May Virtue flourish and Vice decay.  10. May the places of public worship be regularly filled, and all prisons be empty.  11. May the united Wisdom of America form laws to relieve all honest men from prison.  12. The Gentlemen whose beneficence hath induced them to remember the oppressed.  13. The DAY. 
From a London Paper of May 27. Authentic advices from France received yesterday, state, that the opposition to the king's orders advances so rapidly, and has already assumed so formidable a shape, as to give the most rational hope of their being able to reject the country from the doom with which it was menaced. At Bourdeaux the orders were opposed without any public clamour. The protest was entered with great firmness; and the assembly are so unanimously fixed in their opposition as to give confidence to the province that they will act as they ought.
D U B L I N, May 28.  It is thought, that if the French Monarque should adopt the argument of the Bayone, to suppress the present disturbances, and also abolish the different Parliaments of his kingdom, that numbers of persons of distinction will dispose of their estates and entirely quit a land of despotism and tyranny, and take up their future residence in Holland Great Britain and Ireland, or perhaps a great part may seek an asylum for themselves and families in that country of general freedom, the republic of North America.

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, (qualified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the path 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 chimney 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 under-mentioned merits the greater 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. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
