AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine, for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

This Stage will leave Powles-Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of baggage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is performed in half the time.

THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By their attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mt. Cane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.

Lettre de M. Lambert, conseiller d'Etat & au conseil royal de Finance & de commerce, controleur general des Finances, a M. Jefferson, ministre plenipotentiaire des Etats Unis d'Amérique pres de Sa Majesté Tres-Cherienne.
Versailles, 29 Decembre, 1787.
J'ai l'honneur, monsieur, de vous envoyer une copie de l'arrêt qui vient d'être rendu au conseil pour l'encouragement du commerce des Etats-Unis de l'Amérique en France. Je vous en ferai passer un certain nombre d'exemplaires, aussitôt qu'il sera imprimé.
Vous y verrez que plusieurs faveurs considérables, qui n'avoient point encore été promises au commerce Americain, ont été ajoutées à celles que le roi vous avoit fait annoncer par la lettre qui vous a été écrite le 22 Octobre de l'année dernière.
Si dans l'intervalle, quelques droits ont été perçus contre les dispositions de cette lettre, ils seront restitués sur la représentation des acquits.
J'ai donné ordre aussi que l'on vérifiait les faits au sujet desquels on vous a rapporté que la décision du 24 May 1786, relativement au commerce du Tabac, n'avoit pas eu une entière exécution. Vous pouvez être assuré que, s'il est prouvé qu'on se soit écarté des engagements pris avec la sanction du Roi, il sera scrupuleusement pourvu à y satisfaire.
Vous apprendrez encore avec plaisir que les mesures que j'ai prises pour prévenir l'interruption du commerce des tabacs ont eu un plein succès.
Cette marchandise ne sera point exceptée de celles auxquelles l'entrepôt est accordé. La Ferme generale ne jouira d'aucune préférence pour l'achat, & les propriétaires seront complètement les maîtres de leurs spéculations, & d'en voyer leurs tabacs par mer à l'étranger.
Il sera seulement pris des mesures pour prévenir les fraudes auxquelles l'entrepôt pourroit servir de prétexte, & les chambres du commerce des ports seront consultées pour que les précautions nécessaires ne soient pas incompatibles avec la liberté dont le commerce doit jouir dans ses opérations.
Quoique l'approvisionnement actuel de la ferme generale se monte à environ trois années de sa consommation, j'ai engagé cette compagnie à continuer d'acheter par année, à compter du 1 Janvier 1788, jusqu'à la fin de son bail, quatorze mille boucauds de tabac, directement apportés dans les ports de France par batimens François ou Americains, & de justifier tous les quatre mois que cet achat sera monté au moins à quatre mille six cents soixante & six boucauds.
Quant aux prix, vous avez senti vous-même la nécessité de les laisser libres; & cette liberté de prix a été le premier objet des demandes faites par les négocians Americains & François, lors des réclamations qui se sont élevées contre le traité de M. Morris.
La résolution prise alors de forcer les approvisionnements, quoique à prix onéreux au point qu'il en résulte que la ferme generale est maintenant approvisionnée pour trois années, montre combien l'intérêt des planteurs & négocians des Etats-Unis d'Amérique a toujours été précieux au Roi.
L'arrêt du conseil joint à cette lettre, & les autres dispositions dont j'ai l'honneur de vous faire part, confirme de plus en plus une vérité si propre à résister sous les liens qui unissent les deux nations.
J'ai l'honneur d'être avec un très-sincère & inviolable attachement, monsieur, votre très-humble & très-obéissant serviteur.

LETTER from M. LAMBERT, Counsellor of State and of the Council Royal of Finance, and Commerce, Comptroller General of Finance, to Mr. Jefferson, Minister Plenipotentiary for the United States of America at the Court of Versailles.
Versailles, December 29, 1787.
I HAVE the honor, sir, to send you a copy of an arrest passed in council, for the encouraging the commerce of the United States of America in France. I shall furnish you with a number of others as soon as they shall be printed.
You will therein see that several considerable favors, not before promised to the American commerce, have been added to those which the king announced to you, in the letter addressed to you on the 22d of October of the last year.
If in the mean time any duties have been levied, contrary to the intentions of that letter, they shall be repaid on sight of the vouchers.
I have also ordered a verification of the facts whereon it was represented to you, that the decision of the 24th of May, 1786, relative to the commerce of tobacco, had not been fully executed. Be assured that if it shall appear that engagements have been evaded, which were taken under the sanction of the king, effectual provision shall be made for their scrupulous fulfilment.
You will learn also with pleasure that the measures I have taken to prevent the interruption of the commerce of tobacco, have had full success.
This commodity shall not be excepted from among those to which the right of entrepôt is given. The farmers general shall have no preference in the purchases, the proprietors shall be perfectly masters of their speculations, and free to export their tobaccos by sea to foreign countries.
Measures only must be taken to prevent those frauds to which the entrepôt might serve as a pretext; and the chambers of commerce for the ports shall be consulted, in order that the precautions necessary for this purpose, may not be in a form incompatible with that liberty which commerce ought to enjoy in its operations.
Although the present stock of the farmers general amounts to above three years consumption, I have engaged that company to continue to purchase yearly from the first day of January, 1788, to the end of their lease, fourteen thousand hogheads of tobacco, brought direct into the ports of France in French or American bottoms, and to shew at the end of every four months, that their purchases amount to four thousand six hundred and sixty-six hogheads.
As to the prices, you have been sensible yourself of the necessity of leaving them free; and this freedom of price was the principal object of the applications of the American and French merchants when they complained of the contract of Mr. Morris.
The determination then taken to force the purchases of tobacco, though at high prices, inasmuch that the farmers general now find themselves possessed of three years provision, shews that the interest of the planters and merchants of the United States of America have over been precious to the King.
The arrest of council herein inclosed, and the other regulations which I have the honor of communicating to you, are a further confirmation of a truth tending so much to strengthen the bands which unite the two nations.
I have the honor to be, with a sincere and inviolable attachment, Sir, your most humble and most obedient servant.
Signed,
LAMBERT.

AN ACT of the King's Council of State, for the encouragement of the commerce of France with the United States of America.
December 29, 1787.
Extract from the records of the Council of State.
THE KING, desirous of encouraging the commerce of his subjects with the United States of America, and of facilitating between the two nations connections reciprocally useful: having heard the report of the sieur Lambert, counsellor of state, and of the royal council of finance, and commerce, comptroller general of finance, his majesty being in his council, has ordained and does ordain as follows:
ARTICLE I.
Whale-oils and spermaceti, the produce of the fisheries of the citizens and inhabitants of the United States of America, which shall be brought into France directly in French vessels or in those of the United States, shall continue to be subjected to a duty only of seven livres ten sols the barrel of five hundred and twenty pounds weight, and whale fins shall be subjected to a duty of only six livres thirteen sols four deniers the quintal with the ten sols per livre on each of the said duties; which ten sols per livre shall cease on the last day of December one thousand seven hundred and ninety; his majesty reserving to himself to grant further favors to the produce of the whale fisheries carried on by the fishermen of the United States of America, which shall be brought into France in French vessels or in those of the United States, if, on the information which his majesty shall cause to be taken thereon, he shall judge it expedient for the interest of the two nations.

YESTERDAY arrived sloop Lady Green, Godfrey, from Rhode-Island, in one day; also a sloop from Philadelphia.
Accounts from Richmond, Virginia, of June 2, say:—“Our state convention met this day, when the hon. EDMUND PENDLETON was elected President.”
A London paper of March 25, says:—“Cardinal Riminaldi has lately distinguished himself at Rome, by paying such a tribute of veneration as is due to departed genius, and may be expected from a man of taste and fortune.”
“The cardinal has caused to be erected in the church of St. Mary of Martyrs, commonly called the Rotunda, among the statues of celebrated men, an handsome bust of Metafatio.”
“That a similar tribute of national respect is not paid by Englishmen to the relics of the late Dr. Samuel Johnson, is much to be lamented, since, however his memory may have been lately degraded by female treachery, none deserved a monument more than he. No writer has evinced more vigour of mind, superior knowledge of the world, or a greater propensity to inculcate virtue. None has employed his talents to a better purpose; none deserved better of posterity.”
“The bust of Metafatio is in marble, with the following inscription: Petro Metafatio, civi Romano, principi Italici dramatis, Joann, Maria Riminaldi, Ferrerienfis. Presf card, cundo anno 1787. Vironbique gentium clariffimo honor in patriis deeffet.” A gentleman perfectly acquainted with an easy, safe and expeditious route to Kentucky, has favoured the public with the following account to lay before our readers, for the information of those who incline to visit or remove to that country.
THERE is a safe and easy route from Richmond through Greenbrier and by way of the Great Kanawa river; the distances are as follows: from Richmond to Staunton 120 miles; from Staunton to Greenbrier court-house, 100 miles, where provision may be made for a further journey; from Green-
brier court-house to Morris's, on the Kanawa, 86 miles; at this place boats may be had from Morris to the Ohio, taking the meanders of the river, 80 miles, by which means will be avoided the disagreeable shoals of the Ohio, and near 300 miles saved in distance. To the Kanawa there is a waggon road, acknowledged to be preferable to any other which crosses the Allegana Mountain; between Morris's and the Ohio, there are settlements at intermediate distances on both sides of the Kanawa; besides which a well appointed company of soldiers are kept in service for the sole purpose of protecting the inhabitants, and repelling the Indians if they attempt to molest. There are few shoals in the Kanawa which are neither dangerous nor inconvenient, and which may be particularly described by the inhabitants; the river is generally about 300 yards wide, of easy descent, and at the shoals free from rocks. This route may be performed with nearly as much convenience in going by the Sweet Springs in Botetourt county.
The Empress of Russia has caused a form of prayer to be publicly read throughout her extensive dominions; in which she modestly styles herself immortal, and calls not humbly, but peremptorily and boldly upon her Brother Heaven, to become her ally, and enable her to scourge and exterminate her enemies. The vulgar will perhaps, hear this impudent blasphemy without emotion or surprise, and no doubt, applaud the new, and self-created Divinity, but the really pious and believing Christian will be scandalized at this atrocious presumption; the grave Philosopher will lament the miserable condition of those who are called upon to idolize an ill-formed piece of clay, like themselves; while those who love pleasantry, with her Imperial Majesty to read Swift's reasons why Strephon lost his wits, as the surest means of making her recollect her very near affinity to mortality.

American Printed Books,
This Day is published, and to be Sold By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-Street, The Miscellaneous Works OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our American Author, is replete with the high sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious streams.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their favourable, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH, Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
To those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost;—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merits is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that unbounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

POET'S CORNER.
A FAVOURITE AMUSEMENT.
SOME women take delight in dress, And some in cards take pleasure; Whilst others place their happiness In heaping heaps of treasure: In private some delight to kiss, Their hidden charms unfolding; But all mistake the foreign bliss, There's no such joy as scolding. The instant that I ope my eyes, Adieu all day to silence; Before my neighbours they can rise, They hear my tongue a mile hence; When at the board I take my seat, 'Tis one continual riot; I eat and scold, and scold and eat, My clack is never quiet. Too fat, too lean, too hot, too cold, I ever am complaining; Too raw, too roast, too young, too old, Each guest at table paining; Let it be fowl, or fish, or filth, Though of my own providing, I still find fault with ev'ry dish; Still every servant chiding. But when to bed I go at night, I surely fall a weeping; For then I lose my great delight, How can I scold when sleeping? But this my pain doth mitigate, And soon disperseth sorrow; Although to night it be too late, I'll pay it off to-morrow.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, May 8, 1788.
ON a report of the board of treasury, to whom was referred a motion, of Mr. Carrington.
Resolved, That Congress proceed to the election of two commissioners for settling the accounts of the five great departments, to continue in office one year.
Ordered, That the commissioners of accounts for the quarter-masters, commissary's, hospital, marine and cloathing departments, with the appropriation of the board of treasury, commence suits in behalf of the United States, against all persons in any of the said departments, who stand chargeable with public monies, computed from the present date; and that this order be published in the several states for the period above mentioned.
Resolved, That the said commissioners be directed to continue their unremitting attention to the final adjustment of all accounts which have arisen in the said departments, and to the recovery of all sums for which suits may be commenced; and that at the termination of their commission, they deposit with the register of the treasury all the books and papers of their respective offices, together with a general abstract of the sums due from individuals, in order that immediate measures may be adopted for the recovery of the same.

ORDERS are just received, by the printer hereof, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it, with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, comprehending the rivers Ohio, Kenbawa, Sioto, Cherokee, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The climate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pitt and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY.
THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and numerous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more moderate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated—(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, peas, and Indian-corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffaloes, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkies, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
