OBSERVATIONS on TUNIS, &c.
(Continued from our last.)
IT was again rebuilt by one of the Gracchi family, who colonized a colony to repeople it; and, continually increasing in power, it became at length the capital of Africa, under the Roman Emperors; and subsisted near seven hundred years after its first demolition, until it was entirely destroyed by the Saracens, the beginning of the seventh century.
Carthage was situated in an air so pure and serene, that it was remarked there was hardly a single day in the year, how bad so ever some part of it might be, but the sun was occasionally visible. This observation, made so many years since, I have recently found to be invariably true during a residence of two years in the vicinity of the spot on which that city stood; nor can I suppose any place in the world could boast a clearer and more salubrious air, it being built on a peninsula, and enjoying a fresh sea-breeze in the summer.
Giace l'altro Cartago: a pena i segni De' palchi sue ruine il lido ferba. Mauro le città, muovo i regni Copre i fatti, e le pompe arena, & erba.*
TASSO Gèrù. Canto 15.
It is a singular incident that the two cities of Carthage and Rome should have been built just opposite one to the other; the Bay of Tunis and the Mouth of the Tiber being in a direct line:
Littora littoribus contraria, fluctibus undas, Arma armis.—
VIRG. Æ. 1. 4.
Mersa, two short miles from Carthage, and eleven from Tunis, is a very pleasant situation. Here the Bey has two country houses, one of which has been a costly work, built by Hassan Bey, surnamed the Good. From these houses are orange gardens reaching almost to the sea shore, on the edge of which is a famous well of sweet water, esteemed the best and hottest in the kingdom; and close to this, a coffee-house. Numbers of people from the neighboring places resort here to drink coffee and a glass of this natural luxury, so peculiarly enjoyed in the eastern countries; few persons except those who have lived in hot climates, knowing the blessing of a good spring.
In the middle of the court is a large mulberry tree, under the shade of which they sit, and smoke, and play at chess; inhaling the comfortable sea-breeze, that refreshes this charming spot. Nothing can be more picturesque than to see the Moors gallantly mounted with their attendants, complimenting one another.
The water is drawn up by a camel with the Persian wheel, and distributed to the neighboring gardens.
Here are the remains of an ancient port or cistern (supposed to be an artificial one) built by the Carthaginians, after Scipio had blocked up the old port; nothing but the turret or high-house being left.
Porto Farina, about twelve miles from Cape Carthage, was formerly the port where the large vessels belonging to the Bey were fitted out, and laid up on the return from a cruise. The harbor is safe from the weather, and opens into a large lake formed by the river Mejerdah, which runs through it into the sea. The north-west wind, which blows right upon the shore together with the sol-brou-hi down by the river, which has the same quality as the Nile of overflowing its banks, has formed a bar; so that only small vessels can now enter. It is still the arsenal where the naval stores are kept.
The Swedish nation, though in alliance with the Bey of Tunis, were not suffered to hoist their colors on the Consul's house, as is the custom, until a present of guns and naval stores, which had been formerly promised, was delivered. Notice being received of the arrival of the vessel at Minorca, and that she would sail for Tunis, the first fair wind preparations were made by the Swedish Consul for a dinner, ball and other rejoicings suitable to the occasion; which very unfortunately, the Captain, by moonlight, mistaking Cape Zibeeb and the lake for the entrance of the Bay of Tunis, ran aground; and as she was a large ship of three hundred and fifty tons, in three or four days sunk to deep in the sand, that it was impossible to save either the vessel or cargo, which consisted of twenty iron twentys-four pounders and twelve twelve-pounders, besides anchors, cables, &c. The Bey was deaf to all representations and said, as it was the fault of the Captain, he must pay for her in their place, or would not suffer the Consul to hoist the colors. Navigators unacquainted with this coast, may very easily in the night, mistake Cape Zibeeb for Cape Carthage; this is to be avoided by observing the island of Zembra which makes a good bearing for the Bay of Tunis.
I have furnished Mr. Faden, Geographer to his Majesty, with a chart and soundings of this part of the coast and Bay of Tunis, which he intends publishing for the direction of navigators.
Boothby, formerly the city of Utica famous in history for the retreat and death of Cato, is about seven miles in a direct line from Porto Farina: nothing remains of its ancient grandeur, except Carthage low in ashes gold doth lie,
Great ruins poor the herbs in height scant pass; So cities fall, so perish kingdoms high, Their pride and pomp lies hid in sand and grass. FAIRFAX GODD. l. 15.
capt part of a large acqueduct. Some cisterns, and other magnificent and distinguishable ruins, which cover a large extent of ground, and shew it to have been a very considerable place. The sea, undoubtedly, came up to this city though now seven miles distant.

NEWBURY-PORT, July 30.
A few days since were shorn, in the town of Stratham, state of New-Hampshire, from nine lambs, twelve pounds of wool, a good proportion of which would make yarn fit for almost any use. Might this practice become general, it would, while it relieved the animal from a cumbrousome load, be to the owner a valuable saving. In the state of New-Hampshire will be found on an average, 1000 lambs for each town. These lambs, if shorn, would yield, at the above rate, about 1400lb. of wool—that wool might make 300 yards of cloth—that cloth would be worth 900 dollars.
By the Ship Hercules, in four weeks from Antigua, we have received the following intelligence:—
LONDON, June 2, 3, 4, & 5.
By intelligence which we have just received from a very respectable authority, we learn that the famous PAUL JONES has arrived at Peterburgh, and was appointed Rear Admiral of the Russian fleet, which consisted of sixteen ships of the line. The British officers in the Russian service have presented a memorial to the Empress, on the appointment of Paul Jones, in which they state their determination not to serve under him—at the head of this memorial stands the name of Admiral GREIG. This information was brought by a vessel, that was twenty-eight days on her passage from Peterburgh to this country, and is of more recent date than any which has lately been received from that quarter.
No intelligence whatever has been received of the Russian squadron having loosed from Cronstadt. The last authentic accounts, dated the 7th of May, stated, that the ships were not half manned; that they had not even a sufficient number of officers of skill to command them; that the Empress was much disgusted with some of the powers who had forbid, by public Edict, their officers and seamen from serving in her fleets, by which her ships were detained still in port, and would probably be kept there much longer.
Our Ministers still observe a profound silence concerning the Emperor of Morocco, and leave us to the mercy of common fame for our information on that serious subject!—This is really carrying the joke of secrecy too far!—They have been so much praised for their secrecy when they had no secrets to keep, and intoxicated with the applause given them on that account, that they will now shew us that they can keep a real important secret, without the smallest communication of it to any body. But this is just such a secrecy as one of our nightly watchmen would exhibit by standing quietly to see thieves breaking into a house, latching themselves and going off with their booty; and then sounding the alarm when all the mischief is done.—Our merchants and mariners could not be too early apprized of the hostile disposition of that furious Prince, from the highest authority in the kingdom; but these things we must leave to be explained by Ministers themselves.
The politics of some of the great powers of Europe, at this moment, are truly inexplicable. SWEDEN, without remonstrating against the great naval expedition fitting out by Russia, and without having any apparent cause for either making or apprehending an attack, is arming with all possible dispatch a squadron of eleven sail of the line and several frigates.
SPAIN is actually in a state of preparation for a naval war.—Her professions of friendship and good will to this country, enabled her to carry on her armaments without interruption. The late orders of the Spanish Ministry to the commandants of the different ports in Spain, to receive in a friendly manner such Russian ships of war as may put into them, shew that the arms of Spain are not likely to be directed against the Empress of Russia. The size and number of ships either actually sent to sea by the Catholic Kings, or in readiness for it, (we understand there are at least twenty of the line), shew they are not intended to act against the Barbary States. The connection between France and Spain is such, that we cannot for a moment entertain an idea, that the latter is likely to be hostile to the former. For what purpose, then, can Spain, whose finances afford no surplus, or exuberance of resources, have put herself to the heavy expence of fitting out, and maintaining so very considerable a squadron.
ENGLAND, the leading principle of whose government at present is economy, is also arming. Whilst all the Southern powers of Europe are professing peace and good-will to each other, why are preparations carrying on, which so strongly indicate the prospect of a war?—Time alone can tell: To time, therefore, we shall leave the task of clearing up the, at present mysterious, conduct of the great potentates of Europe not actually at war.
The people of France murmur very much at the visit of the Duke D'Orléans to this country, new their affairs are in so critical a predicament, and their liberties in so much apparent danger.—Caricatures are already circulating at Paris, in which his Highness is treated with great severity. If the Duke found, however, that the King was determined in his system, it was impossible for him to engage on the popular side, without inciting the people to actual rebellion; he must therefore be excused for retreating from a storm which he had no power to allay, and might have burnt with fury from one part or the other on his own head.
The opposition writers, who are eternally shifting their ground in order to discover some colorable pretence for arraigning the conduct of Mr. Pitt, now seem to employ all their principal efforts on the subject of the India Company. It is not to be doubted, however, that our prudent Minister will signalize his talents as much upon those concerns, as he has upon every other which have engaged his attention. The hounds of party will bark, but a Minister, conscious of his good intentions, will proceed in the paths of political rectitude and wisdom, regardless of the din. Such seems to be the principles of Mr. Pitt—he directs all his abilities to the consideration of the national welfare and answers the calumnies of his enemies with the voice of public gratitude for his services.
Something seems to be wrong yet in Holland not altogether agreeable to our Cabinet, notwithstanding the fair face they endeavor to put upon it.—A fermentation works there still.
The French King is said to have annihilated his Parliaments and to have substituted in their stead a total military government. Query, Can he annihilate them without annihilating by the same act his own government, and virtually abdicating his
Crown? This might be called a breaking the chain of government, by breaking asunder the middle link of the chain that binds him and his people together. But we shall wait the further discussion of this subject until it is fully confirmed, and the particulars more amply displayed, when we may resume it with propriety.
Incredulity being changed into universal admiration, and the fact confirmed by the testimony of thousands, the following history of that very extraordinary person who calls himself, is given to the world as an undoubted truth:—A shipwreck happened about the year 1761, of the whole crew; one youth only escaped: a rock in the midst of the sea received him, that became his asylum and habitation until the year 1774, when he was discovered by Capt. Allmore, and brought to Norway; and during the thirteen years that he dwelt in this horrid situation, deprived of things the most necessary for life; this unfortunate man subsisted entirely on stones; from them he drew his nourishment; by them he prolonged his wretched life.

The war between the Ottoman Porte and the two Imperial Potentates must remain in statu quo.—If it be true that our Court has made a full and explicit declaration to all the foreign Ministers, of an ultimate resolution to observe a strict and perfect neutrality between the belligerent powers, the measure has our hearty unreserved approbation, which we hold ourselves bound to abide by, whatever may be the future consequences of the same. A strict neutrality is all that the modesty of the Turk will require at our hands, whereby we shall also obtain her friendship.—It is more than the Empress of Russia has a right to expect of us; and if it does not attract her friendship, it may probably excite her fear, which will operate more to our advantage than that sort of friendship she has lately exhibited for us. As to her ally the Emperor, we owe him nothing, though he and his family are much indebted to us; even for their political existence and importance in the scale of Europe, and the balance of power in that scale—consequently a neutrality is all he can expect. But certainly we ought to have a fleet in readiness, to maintain an armed neutrality, and to repel force by force, if any undue liberties should be taken, or even threatened, by any one or more of the contending parties.
The fleet was to leave St. Peterburgh the first of June. Pilots are already gone to Elsinew from this country, to navigate their fleet to Portsmouth where it is to victual and refit.

Extracts from the Journal of CONGRESS, JULY 15, 1788.
On motion of the delegates for Georgia, Whereas it is represented to Congress, by the delegates of the state of Georgia, that the principal parts of the frontiers of that state have been for several years past invaded and kept in a state of alarm by the Creek Indians: that the fighting men of that nation, supposed to amount to not less than six thousand, have been so far instigated by refugees and fugitive traders who had formerly escaped from these states and taken refuge among them, as to keep up constant and bloody incursions on the different parts of that frontier, and that the settlements of four of the exterior counties are almost entirely broken up.
Resolved, That the Superintendent and commissioners for the southern department be instructed, if they shall find it necessary, to notify to the said Indians, that should they persist in refusing to enter into a treaty upon reasonable terms, the arms of the United States shall be called forth for the protection of that frontier.
Ordered, That the Secretary at war report to Congress a plan for carrying into effect the purposes specified in the preceding resolve, as nearly as may be, upon the principles of the resolution of the 21st of July last for the protection of the frontiers of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
August 12, 1788.
ON the report of a Committee, consisting of Mr. Carrington, Mr. Wadsworth, Mr. Irvine, Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Hamilton, to whom were referred sundry letters and papers, from the Governor of the Western Territory.
Resolved, That the Executives of Virginia and Pennsylvania, be requested to give orders to the militia of their respective frontiers, to hold themselves in readiness to unite with the federal troops in such operations as the Governor of the Western Territory may judge necessary, for the protection of the inhabitants; and, that on the application of the said Governor, the said Executives be requested to give orders, that parts of their said militia, not exceeding one thousand for Virginia, and five hundred for Pennsylvania, be embodied, and take such positions as the commanding officer of the federal troops shall direct, for acting in conjunction with the said federal troops, in protecting and defending the frontiers, against any hostilities commenced, or meditated by the Indians; and in making such expeditions, should they continue hostile, as the said Governor shall direct, for repelling such hostilities:—That the militia which shall be called into the actual service of the United States, for the defence of the frontier inhabitants, or the purposes of any expedition, shall be paid, supported, and equipped by the States from which the same may be respectively called, and that such State be credited for the same, out of the existing specie requisitions, so far as such expenditures shall be for pay and rations, which are to be computed on the federal establishments, for similar service; provided that no charge for such service, shall be valid unless supported by minutes, made by an officer of the federal troops, agreeably to the orders of the commanding officer.
And, on the question to agree to this Resolution, it was resolved in the affirmative.
That the said Governor be informed, that the foregoing Resolution having been taken by Congress, on an apprehension that a war may be inevitable, he is to consider it as their earnest desire, that all hostile measures may be avoided, unless rendered indispensable to the safety and protection of the citizens of the United States.
Resolved, That the Commissioners for Indian Treaties, be instructed in the farther purchase of Indian Rights to lands, to extend the same as far, as to them shall appear for the advantage of the United States, upon considering all circumstances, any former instructions, prescribing certain limits, notwithstanding.
From the Virginia Gazette, August 7.
By a gentleman from Hillsborough, North-Carolina, we learn, that on Thursday last, the Convention of that state finished the discussion of the New Constitution—when the question was put on previous amendment, which was carried by a majority of near one-third—Amendments were accordingly agreed upon, which are to be submitted to the consideration of the citizens of the United States.
On Friday and Saturday following the Convention was debating on the subject of fixing the seat of the Government of that State—and at length concluded on appointing Commissioners, to fix on the most eligible situation in Wake County, any where within ten miles of the court-house, of that county, for that purpose.—After having concluded this business, they adjourned.

Carolina, who rode out the aforementioned storm, and was then bound for Boston, and had on board four men, who were taken out of a wreck at sea, by a Sloop from Virginia, and two days after put on board his vessel. These men informed Capt. Coffin, that the wreck belonged to Connecticut, and was commanded by captain Buckley; that on the 23d ult. they met with a heavy gale of wind, at S.S.W. that when scudding under bare poles, a sea struck the vessel, and threw in the vessel's waist, and washed the captain and a boy overboard, who were lost; that the deck blew up, when they lashed themselves to the horse-piece, where they had been four days when they were relieved.

Letters from Constantinople dated the 8th of April, bring advice of a complete victory having been obtained by the Bohemians near Semendria, over 3500 Austrians, whom they drove to flight, after having slain a thousand of them.

The whole Province of Brittany is in arms, and the Nobles to the amount of five hundred, have collected a body of thirty thousand men, and armed them.

A letter from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in London, received yesterday, says:—We have this very moment got advices from Brittany, that a skirmish has happened there, between the people and the military. Several on both sides have been dangerously wounded. Some are said to have been killed.
The warlike preparations of the Swedes at this period have puzzled politicians in general, and excited various conjectures; but the idea now prevalent on that subject is, that they conceive the present a good time for recovering from the Russians what they themselves were deprived of by the infamous Czar Peter. It is whispered that there is a secret alliance between Sweden and the Danes, and that the purpose of this political connection is hostile to the Imperial Catherine.
The commotions at Namur in Brittany have lately worn a serious aspect, that two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry have been stationed to overawe the people.

BRACHYGRAPHY.
LATE Assistant Teacher at the PRINCE of WALES's MILITARY ACADEMY at Kensington, near LONDON, proposes to give a course of instructions in SHORT HAND WRITING, after the method of Mr. GURNEY, in this city.
Of the utility of the art to Gentlemen of the LEARN- ED PROFESSIONS, nothing needs be asserted, nor of the superiority of this system to any other; a system known to be in general estimation wherever the English language is spoken; and to unite the different excellen- cies of EXPRÉSSION and LEGIBILITY; a system, the result of FIFTY years PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE in the different English Courts of Judicature, &c. and now reduced to such a degree of perfection, as to be scarce- ly capable of further improvement.
A convenient room for the purpose is already engaged, and the hours of attendance will be made agreeable to the pupils. The theory and practice will each consist of SIX LESSONS. The terms ONE GUINEA; or HALF A JOE from those who are waited upon at their houses.
As Mr. Sargeant's avocations in the city of Phi- ladelphia require his return in twelve or fourteen days, he flatters himself that those Ladies or Gentlemen who in- vite him with their attendance, will be as early

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in- tends 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 satisfac- tion 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 laid 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, Wall-street, to see the business performed.
2d. To allot each a proper district, in such man- ner, as that every subscriber'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 cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the establishment of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The mode taking 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 so 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.
To be Let,
A Commodious STORE, with a ROOM behind it, and other conveniencies, situate next door to Messrs. Robert and Peter Bruce, in Front-street; immediate possession will be given, and if more agreeable, the per- son may have the whole house. Enquire on the premises.
To be SOLD,
AN excellent FARM, lying at that noted place called Kinderhook Mills, a mile and a half from town, and six miles from the landing; con- taining 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 store 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 halt 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 $100. a year, and will now be sold lower than any person can expect, the situa- tion 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 cel- lar 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 beauti- ful 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 tak- en at cash prices, and a good title will be given for either, or both places. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, living at Kinderhook, or to GEORGE and WILLIAM LUDLOW, New- York. CORNELIUS SEBRING. Jan. 13. tf. raw. tf
