CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 22.
On the 18th we had a new spectacle here, viz. the public entry of an Ambassador from an Indian Prince, well known for his war-like exploits against the English and the Mahrattas, that is to say, Tippoo Saib. The object of his mission, is, to render homage on the part of his master, to the Grand Signior, in quality of Caliph, and Supreme Chief of the Law of Mahomet. The numerous train, which accompanied this public entry, was preceded by 150 Indians, habited according to their Nation, but disciplined and armed like Europeans, having two fives, which played warlike music: They were followed by an Officer of Chancery, on horseback, under a large parasol; afterwards many other Officers of the Legation, and then the Ambassador himself, with two of the principal of his suite, carried in palanquins, which were superbly decorated. A train so magnificent, the singular dress, the escort which the Porte usually give; in short, the unusual mixture of the customs, and the people, Mahometans, Gentiles, and Christians, excited a general curiosity.
L O N D O N, Oct. 31.
The intelligence contained in the London Gazette of last night was immediately, on the arrival of the messenger from Paris, at noon, communicated to the public, by letter, written from the Secretary of State's Office, to the Governors of the Bank, the Directors of the East India Company, the Lord Mayor, and the Master of Lloyd's Coffee-House.
It were needless to make any comments on the object attained by this business, as the Gazette is full and explicit on the subject, so far as it relates, either to this country or to France. It is only necessary, therefore, to remark, and we have good authority to believe it, that the communication of the KING OF PRUSSIA * which is referred to in the COUNTER DECLARATION of the Court of France, was an assurance that his Prussian Majesty intended to withdraw his troops from the United Provinces, as soon as the town of Amster-dam, and the other corps, should have returned to their duty, and acknowledged the Sovereignty of the States, in giving the satisfaction due to the King of Prussia; and that he would then leave it to themselves to arrange their internal affairs on the footing of the ancient Constitution.
* Vide ninth line counter declaration, in our paper of Monday last.
November 8. Mr. Nairne of London has received a letter from Dr. Franklin, in America, which states, that the cover of his mahogany box, which held artificial magnets, and fitted it at London and Paris, was too small in America. The air of America must therefore be dryer than that of Europe.
B O S T O N, January 10.
Many people look upon the adoption of the new Constitution, as the millennium of virtue and wealth; indeed its auspicious dawn augurs much, but it should be remembered, that much depends on our own conduct.
The enemies to good government, finding that their flimsy arguments against the new Constitution would avail nothing, when opposed by the fair arguments of reason and common sense, adopted a new fallacy to injure the system proposed, by asserting that the Democratic part of the community, viz. the Tradesmen of the seaports, and our brethren, the Yeomen of the country, were opposed to its adoption—Certain of the falsity of such reports as far as they respected the Tradesmen of this town, and feeling their reputations hurt thereby, a number of Tradesmen met, and agreed to request a general meeting of their brethren on Monday evening, at the Green-Dragon, in order that their opinions might be had on the subject. Accordingly advertisements for that purpose were inserted in the papers of Monday last. At about six o'clock, near four hundred of the most respectable real Tradesmen of this town—men who obtain their support from the sweat of their brow, and the labor of their hands—men who are constantly employed in the hive of the Commonwealth for their own subsistence and the dignity of the State,
met at the Green-Dragon; when the subsequent spirited and patriotic proceedings took place. Although convened together at a short notice, and forming a large body when met, the whole business was conducted with as much propriety and regularity, we venture to say, as ever marked the proceedings of the best organized and well regulated assembly whatever. The proceedings follow:
BOSTON, Jan. 7, 1788.
AGREEABLY to an advertisement inserted in the papers of this day, the Tradesmen of this town met at Mason's Hall, Green-Dragon, at 6 o'clock P. M. when JOHN LUCAS, Esq. was chosen Moderator, and after some discussion, the Moderator, Paul Revere, Esq. and Mr. Benjamin Russell , were chosen to draft certain resolutions expressive of the sense of this body. The committee, after having retired, returned and reported the following; which, being read, was unanimously accepted, and voted to be printed in the several public papers, viz.
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS some persons, intending to injure the reputation of the Tradesmen of this town, have asserted, that they were unfriendly and adverse to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States of America, as proposed on the 17th September last, by the Convention of the United States, assembled in Philadelphia: Therefore, to manifest the fallhood of such assertions, and to discover to the world our sentiments of the proposed frame of Government,
Be it Resolved,
1. THAT such assertions are false and groundless; and it is the sense of this body, that all those who propagate such reports, have no other view than the injury of our reputation, or the attainment of their own wicked purposes, on base and false grounds.
2. THAT, in the judgment of this body, the proposed frame of government, is well calculated to secure the liberties, protect the property, and guard the rights of the citizens of America; and it is our warmest wish and prayer that the same should be adopted by this commonwealth.
3. THAT it is our opinion, if said Constitution should be adopted by the United States of America, trade and navigation will revive and increase, employ and subsistence will be afforded to many of our townsmen, who are now suffering from want of the necessaries of life; that it will promote industry and morality; render us respectable as a nation; and procure us all the blessings to which we are entitled, from the natural wealth of our country, our capacity for improvement, from our industry, our freedom and independence.
4. THAT it is the sense of this body, that if the proposed frame of Government should be rejected, the small remains of commerce yet left us, will be annihilated, the various trades and handicrafts dependent thereon must decay; our poor will be increased, and many of our worthy and skilful mechanics compelled to seek employ and subsistence in strange lands.
5. THAT, in the late election of Delegates to represent this town in Convention, it was our design, and the opinion of this body, the design of every good man in town, to elect such men, and such only, as would exert their utmost ability to promote the adoption of the proposed frame of Government in all its parts, without any conditions, pretended amendments or alterations whatever: and that such, and such only, will truly represent the feelings, wishes, and desires of their constituents: and if any of the delegates of this town should oppose the adoption of said frame of Government in gross, or under pretence of making amendments, or alterations of any kind, or of annexing conditions to their acceptance, such delegate or delegates will act contrary to the best interests, the strongest feelings, and warmest wishes of the tradesmen of the town of Boston.
JOHN LUCAS, per order.
The above resolution being passed, John Lucas, Esq. Mr. Joseph Clark, Paul Revere, Esq. Mr. Rhodes, Mr. William Bordman, Joshua Witherbe, Esq. and Captain David Spear , were appointed a standing committee, to notify a meeting of the Tradesmen of this town in future. After which the meeting was dissolved.
The resolves of so respectable a body as were convened on the evening of Monday last, can leave no doubt of their sentiments—and although they do not wish to preclude a fair discussion of the great subject—yet they are convinced that the unbiased, unprejudiced, and truly patriotic members of the hon. Convention, will join with them in determining that the blessings of Independence are suspended on the adoption of the new Federal Constitution.
EXTRACT from the PROCEEDINGS of the CONVENTION.
January 9.
Voted, That the Convention will attend morning prayers daily, and that the gentlemen of the clergy in Boston, of every denomination, be requested to officiate in turn.
A vote of the Church in Brattle-Street,

PROVIDENCE, January 5.

New-York, Jan. 18.
His Excellency the Count de Moutiers, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Court of Versailles to the United States of America, is arrived at Sandy-Hook from France.
The moderation of the weather, having in part cleared the obstructions to their arrival in the river, some of the following vessels have got up from the Hook, and the others are expected to-day:
The Ship Edgar , Sarly, from Bourdeaux; Spanish Packet Galvez-Town , Delvaux, from Corunna; a French frigate; the ship Four Friends , Douglas, from London; brig Tortola Packet , Alcorn, from Antigua; brig Betsy , Mitchell, from Halifax; schooner Maria , Maxwell, from St. Thomas; sloop Jersey , Sleight, from St. Eustatia; sloop Beverly , Tippet, from Alexandria; and sloop Dove , Curtis, from St. Eustatia.
Capt. Alcorn, in lat. 36, 52, spoke the ship Light-Horse , Capt. Tucker, from the Cape of Good Hope, bound for Boston, out eighty-six days, all well. Capt. Tucker heard that Capt. Bell, from Philadelphia, bound to Madras, was arrived at Pondicherry, in June last.
The sloop Nancy , Newbold, for Edenton; the sloop Adventure , Potter, for Newhaven; and the schooner Phoenix , Hubbull, for Newhaven, cleared out at the Custom-house on Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning the young gentlemen of Mr. Hardie's Grammar School were examined in the Greek and Latin languages, in presence of the Clergy, and several respectable gentlemen of this city. In the evening they delivered Oration in Mr. Corre's Assembly-room, in presence of a most brilliant and numerous company of ladies and gentlemen; who, by their repeated testimonies of applause, gave proofs of entire satisfaction.
Yesterday afternoon a disagreeable accident happened on Bache's Wharf. A number of tradesmen having erected the frame of a house, (which, we understand, was but slightly secured), were proceeding towards the completion of their business; when the frame unfortunately gave way, by which one man was so dangerously wounded, that his recovery is much doubted, and two or three others were severely hurt.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this city, dated January 13.
"I am happy to observe your opinion, respecting the Constitution of this State, in ratifying the new Convention—I mean the majority: as to its opponents I cannot conceive what object they had in view; except self interest, tho' a trifling inducement, appears too conspicuous in some. I hope the other States will follow so good a precedent, in consequence of which we may be truly called the Thirteen United States."

According to the French Academicians.    Mont Blanc, Switzerland 15,445 Bourit.   Peke Teneriffe, Madeira 15,336 Heberden.   Cotopaxi, Quito 19,929 Don Antonio de Ulloa. 
These last are always covered with snow—but snow is permanent at inferior heights. Many of the Glaciers in Switzerland, Sierra de Rama, and de Placentia in Spain,
and Ben-y-Bourd, and Benewith in Scotland, are never without snow.
Indeed, where the sun's rays fall more obliquely, less height, of course, must be found the boundary between temporary and eternal snow; but no mountain in South Britain touches the zone of barrenness, intervening between this region and the limits of vegetation.
Sheep pasture on the summits of Snowdown, Helwellyn, and Whernside; and barrenness prevails only where rock and precipice are the invincible obstacles to vegetation.
Voltaire, speaking of war in general, has the following remark: "There have been more than two hundred pitched battles fought in Europe since the commencement of the present century. The most signal and the most bloody victories have produced no other consequences, than the reduction of a few provinces, ceded after wards by treaties, and retaken again by other battles. Armies of an hundred thousand men have frequently engaged each other in the field; but the greatest efforts have been attended with only slight and momentary successes; the most trivial causes have been productive of the greatest effects. There is no instance of any war that has been compensated by a greater good for the many evils it has occasioned.—Be wise now, therefore, O ye Kings! Be instructed, ye Judges of the earth!"

To the Honorable LEGISLATURE of the STATE of NEW-YORK.
Fathers, Friends, Countrymen, Brethren and Fellow Citizens,
THE happiness and existence of America being now suspended upon your deliberations; three or four of the Aristocrats having lashed the public passions, like wild horses, to the ear of Legislation, and driving us all in the midst of political clouds of error, into that ditch of despotism lately dug by the Convention: Such dismal circumstances have induced a private citizen to lay before you, in as concise a manner as possible, the objections that have been made, by the Pennsylvania Secession, Brutus, Cato, Cincinnatus, Farmer, An Officer, &c. &c. our best men.
1. The Convention were delegated to amend our political Constitution, instead of which they altered it.
2. It was composed of unblemished characters, which proves their detestable hypocrisy.
3. It possessed the first rate abilities, which proves that their concerted mischief will be the more certain and extensive.
4. Its discussions were in secret, which proves that they loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
5. The whole plan is futile, and any change in the Government unnecessary.
1st. Because the present Government is an excellent one, if the States would but do as they ought. 2dly. Because it was approved of in its birth, by both Washington and Franklin. The former had not then commanded an army, nor the latter smelt the despotic air of France. 3dly. Because it answered our purposes even in times of turbulence, and must, therefore, certainly in peace. 4thly. Because those who, at present, hold the offices of trust, power, and profit, are generally as honest as can be expected.
6. By the new plan, the States will be politically consolidated, which is absolutely impossible, under a Republican form of Government, because some people say, that Montesquieu has said so.
7. Faith ought to be the principle of Union. For if we well and truly believe, that the States are united, we shall be just as happy as if they really were so.
8. An extensive territory cannot be free; this is too self evident to require a reason.
9. The Federal Head ought to be supreme, but ought not to possess a coercive power over the State Sovereignties, because this will annihilate them.
10. The Constitution proposed, will be too energetic, that is, it will have a power to force obedience, and the idea of forcing, is incompatible with that of freedom.
11. It is the most unheard of, unexamined, incomprehensible, motley, despotic, complicated of biennial, quadrennial, and sextennial Aristocracies.
12. It is a Government of individuals; for whole years together, particular persons will be entrusted with power, notwithstanding the experience of ages has demonstrated how prone men are to make an ill use of it.
13. It, by such distinctions, counteracts the sacred design of nature, which has created all men free and equal.
14. It supposes compulsion a necessary sanction to its laws, which is treating us not as generous citizens, but as slaves and brutes.
15. It ordains a representation of the people, too small to be safe. 1st. Because a majority of 79 Legislators may easily be bribed, you know, gentlemen. 2dly. Because it is impossible that one man can be the image of, or know the interests, or feel the feelings of 30,000 constituents. 3dly. Because he must burst with vanity in such a situation.
16. It will be as oppressive as dangerous. 1st. Because it is so numerous as to occasion in a few years, tumult in its councils. 2dly. Procrastination in its proceedings. 3dly. Excessive taxation.
17. It appoints elections to be held for these rascally Despots, once only, in two years, when the time ought not to exceed six months; because the trust being more important than State Legislation, ought more frequently to change hands.
18. It will occasion tumults, bloody noses and broken heads among the people, as they will feel more interested in these elections, from this very circumstance of their being something less frequent.
19. It gives Congress the power to appoint the place of elections for the house of Representatives, but not for Senators;
which was because they all intended to get into the Senate. — Some slyly pretend it was intended to hinder any one or two great States from being thrown out of the Federal Representation, by a temporary spirit of faction in their Legislatures. Rhode-Island was indeed unrepresented in Convention, from this cause — but the devil has got into Rhode-Island — and her proceedings can furnish no precedent.
20. It will oblige us sooner or later, to pay the public debt — Monstrum horrendum! — Not only the foreign but domestic! — Not only the interest, but the principal!
21. It encourages the importation and slavery of Africans, because it leaves the States in this respect at perfect liberty to do as they please.
22. It will occasion the revolt of the ancient dominion, by assuming a power at the end of the twenty years, to make those black gentry as good as ourselves.
23. It admits to legislation, 1st. Quakers, who will make the blacks saucy, and at the same time deprive us of the means of defence — 2dly. Mahometans, who ridicule the doctrine of the trinity — 3dly. Deists, abominable wretches — 4thly. Negroes, the seed of Cain — 5thly. Beggars, who when set on horseback will ride to the devil — 6thly. Jews, &c. &c.
24. It gives the command of the whole militia to the President — should he hereafter be a Jew, our dear posterity may be ordered to rebuild Jerusalem.
25. It gives our Representatives a power to keep up a standing army for two whole years — which would be well enough, had not Butler prov'd, that
They who fight and run away, Shall live to fight another day: But they who are in battle slain, Shall never live to fight again.
26. It allows of other modes of trial besides that by jury, and of course this is abolished: such modes will be instituted under the direction of Congress, as will leave offenders, traitors, malcontents, or such of us as fall under the lash, no chance at all.
27. It affects to despise our paper money and all paper rights: In the war your predecessors all perjured themselves for want of a proper bill of rights — when they ordained the court of conspiracy; and often since, when from pretence of public good, they have picked the pockets of the public creditors.
28. It destroys the Freedom of the Press, and it will press us out of our freedom: The people will never exercise the liberty of conscience, and the rulers will have no consciences at all.
29. The preceding clause declares they make all necessary and proper laws, which would be very unnecessary and improper; because such laws are sometimes very disgusting; the truth is not always to be spoken. 30. It is to be crammed down our throats.
31. The old woman in Pennsylvania has discovered the whole arrangement of the conspirators.
In short, gentlemen, if you prize your own characters or your country's happiness; if you would not be made to eat the rice of Virginia against your consents; if you would not wish to see your smoke and other little houses converted into centinel boxes; the poor ground to dust, and this dust trampled upon; you will never suffer the impost to be given up, or this wicked, detestable, ridiculous, designing, artful, ill-contrived, clumsy, energetic and execrable Government to be set up over your own heads: It will deprive us of our liberties: It can never work: The people will never bear it — and it will end in Monocracy, Theocracy, Aristocracy, or some Ocracy or another.
To conclude, I would advise you to take good notice of that vile conspirator, the author of Publius; I think he might be impeached for high treason: he continues to do infinite mischief among readers: this whole city, except about forty or fifty of us, are all bewitched with him, and he is a playing the very devil elsewhere.

An excellent FARM, lying at that noted place called Kinderhook Mills, a mile and a half from town, and six miles from the landing; containing 150 acres of choice land, part thereof is intervale and extraordinary fine meadow, where there is yearly cut thirty ton of good hay, with a beautiful young and old orchard of about 200 trees, part thereof grafted, and the whole excellent fruit. A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor, one story and a half high, a fine cellar, a large floor ready fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn; a fine stand for trade or any public business, there having a store been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several districts and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated where three roads meet, and is the best stand of trade, I dare say, of any in the county, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door. Also, the convenience of a GRIST MILL, with a fine stream of water, and the half of a new DUTCH SAW MILL, adjoining the door, where 3000 logs can be sawed in a tea on, and plenty of timber. The above place has been let a number of years for about $300. a year, and will now be sold lower than any person can expect, the situation and value considered.
Also, a large and elegant BRICK HOUSE, situated at Schoharie, on the bank of Hudson's river, 51 feet in length, and 31 in breadth, two stories and a half, high, 4 rooms on a floor, with a kitchen and cellar under the whole, and a fine water lot, the best in Schoharie, commands a fine prospect up and down the river of several miles distance, and a fine stand for trade; a new barn, fine well of water, and a beautiful garden spot. Any person chusing to purchase either of the above places, on paying one quarter of the money down, may almost have their own time of payment for the remainder, or goods will be taken at cash price, and a good title will be given for either, or both places.

To the People of America. AMONGST the numerous publications that have issued from the press, on the subject of Federal Government, none have attracted the public attention more than that entitled the FEDERALIST, under the signature of PUBLIUS: The justness of the reasoning, the force of the arguments and the beauty of the language which distinguish this performance, have justly recommended it to general applause.
To attain a competent knowledge of the advantages to be derived from adopting the proposed FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, is no doubt the sincere wish of every true friend to his country: This performance being entirely free from party spirit and personal invective, is therefore well calculated to accomplish so desirable an end. The avidity with which this writer's pieces have been sought after by politicians and persons of every description, and the particular attention the different printers throughout the United States have shown them by regular insertion in their papers, are conclusive proofs of the superior excellence of this elegant political production. The manner in which the author treats and discusses the controverted parts of the Constitution, displays much information, patriotism and candor, and can hardly fail of meeting with a favorable reception from the opposers as well as the advocates of the new system of Government.
Under this persuasion, the publishers flatter themselves with the countenance and support of the citizens of America, to a publication evidently written to promote their welfare, happiness and prosperity.
In the Press, and speedily will be published, The FEDERALIST; A collection of ESSAYS, written in favor of the NEW CONSTITUTION, By a CITIZEN of NEW-YORK: Corrected by the author, with additions and alterations.
CONDITIONS. This work will be printed on a fine paper and good type, in one handsome volume duodecimo. The number of pages the volume will contain, cannot rightly be ascertained, as the author has not yet done publishing, but the printers engage to deliver the most subscribers at the very reasonable rate of Five Shillings for 200 pages, Six Shillings if 250 and all above gratis. The numbers already published will make more than 200 pages, and the author does not seem to be nigh a close. To render this work more complete, will be added, without any additional expence, Philo-Publius, and the Articles of the Constitution.
As agreed upon at Philadelphia, Sept. 17, 1787. *** A few copies will be printed on superfine royal writing paper, price Ten Shillings. ††† No money required till delivery. Subscriptions are taken in by J. McLEAN, and Co. No. 41, Hanover-square, by the Printer hereof, by the several Booksellers of the city, and by all others entrusted with proposals.
