Letters from Trieste mention that his Impe- rial Majesty arrived there on the 4th instant, passed the succeeding day in reviewing the works which have been constructed there for the defence of the port, and set out on the 6th for Fiume. Letters from Graz in Styria advise that the em- peror arrived there in the forenoon of Saturday last, and that, after having taken a view of the new public works carrying on there, his Imperial Majesty set out for Lauback on Sunday morning.
LONDON, March 23.
The following intelligence will prove that the Turks show no less ability than fortitude in their conduct, and that they are not likely to be driven out of Europe so speedily as the fanatic enemies of the Alcoran would with us to believe.
The Austrians having silenced, by an heavy can- nonade and bombardment, the fortress of Gradiska (an account of which we have already given in this paper), concluded that it was evacuated by the enemy; and the General, willing to possess him- self of so important a post, gave orders for five battalions to embark and cross the Save, to take possession of it. The Turks, who kept concealed, waited till the whole of them were landed, when they instantly opened an heavy cannonade on the astonished Austrians, and compelled them to a pre- cipitate retreat. Many were killed before they could reach their boats, and several of them were drowned in passing the river. After this defeat, a voluntary offer was made by a man, to go pri- vately and set fire to the magazine of powder; but the Turks, apprised of his internal design, suffered him to proceed almost to the commission of the fatal act before they seized him; when they con- ducted him to an eminence, where his head was struck off, and fixed upon a pole for the contem- plation of the enemy, who were joyfully assembled, in the fullest confidence of beholding the promised explosion.
A very curious rumour has been the subject of conversation in political circles for some days past. It seems that Mons. Calonne, hearing that the friends of Mr. Hastings talked of his poverty, or at least of his very limited fortune, laid cursorily at his own table, that he had considered him as a very rich man, for some time ago 500,000 ster- ling passed through the French Bank from India, which was generally understood to belong to Mr. Hastings. This small discovery has given much uneasiness to the Nabob, and it has been indus- triously propagated that the money belonged to a squad, and not to the Governor himself.
MARCH 28.
The Empress sent over to England some time ago to procure of some of our physicians the best methods of preventing the plague, to which her armies would probably be exposed. Some papers on this subject have been furnished, but it is ima- gined it will be next to impossible to prevent the spreading of the contagion from the superstition of the Turks, who will never do any thing to prevent it, and from the necessary intercourse of the Russians with them. So that the three great scourges of human kind may be expected to characterize the present contest—war, famine, and pestilence!
Extract of a letter from Calcutta, Sept. 6, 1787.
A duel is said to have been lately fought at the Dumapore Station, between Col. Stewart, of the Company's service, and the Hon. Capt. Maitland of his Majesty's service, in which the latter party was wounded in the shoulder; but the ball being shortly extracted, it is hoped no bad consequences will follow. The duel was fought in a manner en- tirely new, each party being on horseback during the encounter.
But we have heard, last night, that Capt. Mait- land died in consequence of the wound.
By the evidence of Mr. Antle, of Devises, and of Mr. Chales Clapham, of Leeds, given in to the Committee of the House of Commons, respecting the exportation of wool, it appears that upwards of thirteen thousand packs of wool are annually im- ported into France.
A letter from Turin, dated March 8, says, "At the village of Chianale, a province of Saluces, in the valley of Vraier, near Fort Dauphin, a large mass of snow fell from a mountain on that village, and destroyed almost all the houses; 20 people were killed, and above sixty wounded, most of them mor- tally. There remain scarce any other buildings but the parish church and the convent of the Ca- puchins. His Sardinian Majesty has sent immediate succours to the unfortunate people, who have suf- fered by the above calamity."
APRIL 7.
The ingenious advocates for Mr. Hastings, who thought it necessary to deny the fact of Mr. Ca- lonne's discovery of the property that was smuggled through France, have now found it convenient to suffer the subject to drop. They are now a- ware that we know more of the matter than they at first suspected; and it is prudent for them to be silent, as the secret was disclosed only to put the public right in a matter which was important on- ly on account of the affected concealment of pro- perty which Mr. Hastings chose to practise.
Extract of a letter from Cherbourg, dated April 3.
The desire you express to be informed of every thing that is doing, and the difficulty of sending an account from hence but might be read by the com- mon crier, has prevented my more frequently writing to you. From the accounts in the Lon- don newspapers, which we get pretty constantly, one might almost suppose our politics were as uncertain as our weather. One day tranquillity is established upon so firm a basis, that is next to an impossibility to shake it; the next, an im- mediate war is inevitable, and on the subsequent day they rejoice that their statement of the preceding one was erroneous. The celebrated cones of this place had the good fortune, from different causes, to make rival nations happy at the same instant. England rejoiced, that through its channels of infor- mation the cause of general terror was removed; and France beheld in their safety and intended com- pletion an accession of strength that should make the British empire tremble. The cones are not much damaged: in two or three days I shall have an opportunity to send you some particulars."
Some very extraordinary revolutions have hap- pened in Persia, which promise to be of very ma- terial advantage to the interest of the East-India Company at Bombay, and to the maritime branch in particular. It will likewise prove the means of humbling the haughty Scherif of Mecca, and fa- cilitate the long wished for opening of a passage to Bombay by the Red Sea.
A very extraordinary phenomenon has lately engaged the attention and curiosity of the medical world. A lady, whose death was announced in this and other papers more than a fortnight since, remains still unburied from the singular circum- stance of her body's not having undergone the smallest change: although the faculty are unani- mous in their opinions that there does not exist the smallest probability of her being in a trance. They are still unable to account for or explain the mat- ter, and her friends, as may be supposed, have de- termined not to inter her till some appearance of change shall be discovered.
CAMBRIDGE, April 2.
Yesterday a most dreadful fire broke out at Fox- ton, about eight miles from this town, which burnt with such fury, as not to be got under till the whole of the village was nearly destroyed, supposed about 200 houses. How the melancholy affair happened is not known.
There seems to be a rot among the Cardinals. Ten hats are vacant, and four more Cardinals are at the point of death, by the last accounts.
DUBLIN, April 1.
About two years ago it was reported and be- lieved, that one Boardman, an old Bachelor, with a small freehold in the county of Fermanagh, was going to be married. This report alarmed his bro- ther and nephew who expected to fall heirs to his fortune. It is said, that the father and son con- spired the death of this unfortunate man. The son, with one accomplice, went in the night to his uncle's house, and demanded admittance, which an old domestic, through terror, gave him. And such was this ruffian's rage for blood, that, without se- curing this domestic, he went directly into his un- cle's room, denouncing his murderous intention. The uncle proposed directly to settle his freehold upon him—but no entreaty could prevail—he snapped his pistol at the old man, which missed fire, and might have given pause for reflection to a mind less depraved than his—but this only whetted his rage; he dispatched him at length after a repeti- tion of the most inhuman blows and stabs. The murderer was, to the disgrace of justice and po- lice of the country, suffered to be at large for a con- siderable time; but at length was apprehended, and convicted, on trial, at the last Enniskillen assizes. He was executed two days after.
NEW-YORK, June 14.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Orange County to the Printer, dated 9th June, 1788.
"On seeing in your news-paper returns of Mem- bers for Convention and Assembly, I have sent you as under-mentioned the Members for Convention for this County, and as the votes stood for Mem- bers to serve in Assembly."
   CONVENTION.     John Haring 331 Jesse Woodhull 340   Henry Wisner 332 John Wood 221   ASSEMBLY.   Henry Wisner 240 James Post 128   Jeremiah Clark 188 David Pye 121   John Carpenter 171 John D. Coe 123   Peter Taunton 128 Seth Marvin 96

In the beginning of November last, died at Port- mouth, in England, the Rev. THOMAS WREN, many years an eminent pastor of a Dissenting con- gregation in that town: but his character must be known in this country, from the long and ardu- ous attention he paid to the American prisoners in Forton Prison, during the late war. It is well known, by many of those unfortunate persons, that he preached charity sermons in their behalf, and cloathed them with the fruits of his exhortations: in short, his christian charity and benevolence, his sympathetic feelings for those distressed prisoners, will long endear him to all of this country, who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
Died lately near Dublin, Elizabeth Babbington, aged 110. It is a little remarkable, that at the time of her infancy, being at nurse, her mother, Elizabeth Hopson, having received an account of the death of her child, set off to see her before in- terment, but not arriving till the child was lying in the grave, she insisted upon having a sight of her, and on opening the coffin, signs of life appeared in the child. The happy mother took her infant to her bosom, and being at that time engaged as a wet nurse to some neighbouring gentleman, imme- diately offered the breast to her own infant, when, after a few trials, it was able to imbibe some nou- rishment.
A correspondent observes, that the political face of things is daily changing itself in this City and State—that the grand question now is, not whe- ther the Federal Constitution is a good one, but whether it will be for the interest of this State to belong to the Union, or to enjoy the benefits of independence?—Under the supposition that our Convention will incline to the latter opinion, an- other query has been made, the merits of which is daily discussed by many of our citizens, viz. Whether this City had not better become a free and independent Town? Before any remarks are made upon the policy or impolicy of this measure, it should not be forgotten that unless the question is properly stated, it is highly treasonable , and peo- ple ought to be cautious not to offend the higher powers—or to expose themselves to a resentment they may not have influence to defend themselves from.—The means to procure any wished for change, with respect to the too great consolidation of the counties of this State, must at present be supposed to be drawn from remonstrance, humble address and petition, &c. &c. &c. This being pre- missed, it is to be observed that the measure is dan- gerous and impolitic, in itself considered;—for, in the first place, where are all these changes and re- volutions to end? Your fathers, eternally reflexes, broke off from the Pope, and then from the house of Stewart; and Ye, a reflexes progeny, first rebel against your Mother Country , then break your Uni- on and rebel against your Sister States ; and now, lastly, you would divide the very members of your own political body. Secondly, should this favorite expectation ever be realized, have you not to dread the just indignation of Albany, Orange and Ulster counties?—Will not their hardy, brave and ac- tive veterans besiege your very gates?—Will they not ruin your commerce, or convert its channels either into Canada, or to the country of Rhode- Island? Thirdly, if this city is independent, she will undoubtedly be able to appropriate the whole import to her own benefit! It is an immense sum in this point of view; it would pay every public expense incident to this city; it would pave our streets; it would erect for us fortifications, effect- ually to secure our property from Algerine pi- rates; it would maintain our poor, trim our lamps, and, in short, make this place the Tyre of the modern world. It is an advantage (as our ru- lers have taught us to know) which nature has put into our hands, and therefore ought not to be gi- ven up. But what are all these advantages, to the honour of being the capital of the State of New- York—to the security and wealth resulting from her protection and friendship? While this connec- tion continues, we have neither to fear the rival- ship of Quebec, nor the incursions of the savages
of the desert. Rather than risk the consequen- ces of a rupture with our sister counties, we had better be unfairly represented in our Legislature, and trippingly oppressed by an over-proportion of taxation. Alas! unhappy spot, should ever inde- pendence ever be thy portion! When dust, and crowds, and noise, and ships, and workmen, and coaches, and sailors, and carts, and foreigners, shall create an eternal alarm and rattle about thy borders!
But if you will still be so infatuated as to look for this event, should the Constitution be rejected, let me advise you not to speak treason—to pursue a constitutional mode to obtain your desire—to a- void what may spill blood—and not to be the first to dissolve this astonishing, this magic spell of po- litical tranquillity!
From the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE.
To the Honorable the CONVENTION of the STATE of NEW-YORK.
BY the permission of divine providence, and from that large proportion of freedom which has been dispensed to the United States, your ho- norable body is very soon to deliberate on the na- ture and consequences of the proposed federal con- stitution. The performance of a duty such as this, is the most dignified temporal act of human na- ture. The temper and dispositions, therefore, with which it should be undertaken, ought to be as pure as those with which a pious man would approach the temple of the Deity. Moderation, candor, patience, mutual deference, and a kind conciliat- ing spirit should suggest and govern every thought, word and deed.
The present address will go to you from another state—not dictated by any person, from whose views or connections in your internal politics you may have entertained well grounded apprehensions —but totally unknown to every citizen of your commonwealth. The object of it is not a re-con- sideration of the subject at large, but an examina- tion into a few important particulars, and an at- tempt to look forward to some future consequen- ces.
The manner in which the powers of the propo- sed constitution will be invested in the federal ex- ecutive and legislature is the first point that pre- sents itself to our minds. Will the house of repre- sentatives be named by little corrupt boroughs! —No, for there must be 3,000,000 electors to send one. Will they be self-elected?—No, for every citizen whom the state legislatures will permit to elect the most democratic branch of their separate governments, will have a right to say who shall re- present him in the federal house. The creation of that house is immediately by the voice of the people. If they shall say let this man be our fed- eral representative, he will be so.
Will the senators, or second branch, as in other countries, be by hereditary descent? No—Will an idiot of 21, or an aged villain, whose long life has been devoted to the ruin of his country, have, as in England, an indefeasible right to a seat in the senate? No, for the elections of the members of that house is assigned to the state legislatures. whom the people themselves will chuse. Surely we cannot fear to trust the state legislatures with the choice of our federal senators. We shall chuse those bodies freely and cautiously , with a view to this and other important duties. If we elect wise and honest men as our state representatives, they will chuse wise and honest men as our federal senators. Were the people at large to chuse the senators, then the government would be termed consolidated or national, and not federal. The state legislatures would not have that separate branch of representation and legislation, which is necessary to maintain their independency and the federal quality of the government. It would be an improper and dangerous abridgment of the powers of the state governments to take the election of the senate out of their hands, yet even that power comes to them only with the consent and by the agency of the people, exercised originally in person. Can a citizen of any one of the states be restrained or prevented from giving his voice for the federal representatives, or for those who are to elect the senators, president, or vice-president? Will any man hold the office of a representative, a senator or president, by any means but the votes of the people first given directly in his favor, or given for those who shall elect him to his office? On this point we may surely affirm that all the powers of the federal government flow, through a very short channel, from THE SACRED FOUNTAIN OF THE PEOPLE.
A simple but very important remark on the ex- ercise of a power thus freshly created is, that when a law shall be made by that power, which concerns the people, it will equally affect the lives, lib- erties and property of the federal representatives, senate and president—A most comfortable fact, and an effectual restraint on human folly and wickedness, against which government is intended to provide.
Some gentlemen of your state have believed, that however free the government may be, it is still exceptionable, as being consolidated and not federal. Permit me to ask your dispassionate at- tention to a few plain facts in the constitution itself.
The federal government contains no power to prohibit or punish the most atrocious murders or immoral crime—nor to fix the qualifications which are to entitle their constituents to elect— they cannot appoint one militia officer, nor train the national militia—they cannot take any step to- wards the election of a senator, representative or president—they cannot erect or regulate courts for the determination of civil causes between citizens of the same state, or for the punishment of crimes committed within the jurisdiction of any state— nor can they appoint or commission any state of- ficer civil or military. What nation is there now exist- ing whose government can do those things? What na- tion can exert, if these are not done and provided for? Does it not therefore follow, that the several members of the confederacy (i.e. the several state governments) must, as heretofore, do these and many other matters of a like nature, which are ne- cessary to the good order, and even to the ex- istence of society. Before we dismiss this point, it will be necessary to attend very particularly to one more fact relating to it. The sovereign power of altering and amending the constitution, or su- preme law of the American confederacy, does not lie with this federal legislature, whom some have erroneously apprehended to be supreme—That power, which is truly and evidently the real point of sovereignty is vested in the several legislatures and conventions of the states, chosen by the people respectively within them. The federal govern- ment cannot alter the constitution, the people at large by their own agency cannot alter the consti- tution, but the representative bodies of the states, that is their legislatures and conventions , only can execute these acts of sovereign power.
From the foregoing circumstances results an- other reflection equally satisfactory and important, which is, that as the federal legislature cannot ef- fect dangerous alterations which they might de- sire, so they cannot prevent such wholesome altera- tions and amendments as are now desired, or which experience may hereafter suggest . Let us suppose any one or more alterations to be in contempla- tion by the people at large, or by the state legisla-
tures. If two thirds of those legislatures require it, Congress must call a general convention, even though they dislike the proposed amendments, and if three fourths of the state legislatures or conven- tions approve such proposed amendments, they be- come an actual and binding part of the constitution , without any possible interference of Congress. If then, contrary to the opinion of the eight adopt- ing states, the federal government should prove dangerous, it seems the members of the confeder- acy will have a full and uncontroulable power to alter its nature, and render it completely safe and useful.
It cannot be doubted that a great majority of your honorable house think a federal constitution for the United States of America expedient and highly necessary. The object of their desires then must be to obtain the best that can be devised, but not to be disappointed in procuring it. Let me respectfully request of those who with the propo- sed plan amended, that they seriously consider how much more easy it will be to obtain those amendments under the forms of the constitution itself, than by previously attempting another general convention.
Three fourths of the states concurring will ensure any amendments, after the adoption of nine or more; but at present all must concur, or we lose not only the amendments desired, but unfortunately the union itself—and with that the prosperity of the coun- try and the peace and happiness of the people. Will it not be better to ratify a constitution which was formed by men chosen by the state legislatures and the people, and which secures to the people and their state representatives full power to alter and amend it, and which provides that it shall not be altered by any other authority?
Should the proposed constitution not take effect, there can be little doubt but that a vigorous and se- rious plan of co-operation will be adopted by Con- necticut and New-Jersey, to secure a share of your import, in proportion to their consumption of your imports. They will have no occasion to ap- peal to arms. Cheaper and more effectual modes of procedure may be adopted. Their respective legislatures have already commenced a war of news in the case of the light-house, and the small craft. It is impossible for any vessel bound to or from New- York to determine whether the may or may not be obliged to anchor in Sandy-Hook road: That place belongs to Jersey, and were they to pass a law that every vessel which should anchor therein should pay a duty of two and a half per cent. on all her goods, and a tonnage of one third of a dollar, to a collector who should be fixed there, it would be impossible to prevent the operation of the law. Congress at present have no power to prevent such a law, and Jersey might truly urge that all vessels that go into your ports pay such duties. Both Connecticut and Jersey might also pass acts at the same time, imposing exactly the same duties on all goods imported from your state, which are, or from time to time shall be, laid on articles of the same kinds imported into your state from foreign coun- tries. They might also prohibit any shallows or small craft from going into their ports from yours without a special permission, at the time of grant- ing which all the force of oaths, bonds, securities, &c. might be previously required for the due and faithful reporting of all goods imported in them. The combined spirit of interest and resentment would sharpen the ingenuity of their legislatures, & a few strict laws might be easily framed, that would either cut up your lucrative communication with them, or compel you to grant them a share of the impost. They would have no occasion to use force; but should you hastily appeal to arms, we may venture to affirm, without derogating from the prowess of your citizens, that the militia of Connecticut and New-Jersey would not be con- temptible antagonists. These ideas are by no means held out with a view to alarm. They are delivered with sincerity and respect. Indeed we cannot suppose that there is the least danger of the matter tak- ing that turn. The contest must be entirely con- ducted by the legislatures of those suffering states, whose legal measures, if properly taken, cannot be rendered abortive.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the false liber in- tended opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satis- faction to those who may please to employ him, (sig- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain and down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment 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. with the re- mainder, to see the business performed. 2d. To allow each a proper dress, in such man- ner, as that every such sweeper's chimney shall be re- gularly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi- red) 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 of- fice, unless the chimney be re-swept, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the effable sum of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the sweeper shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking 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.
