constitution, but to give it to the states as it was received from the Convention. There will be some difficulty in getting it adopted in New-York--the government has already discovered strong marks of disapprobation, and its adherents are constantly employed in disseminating opinions unfavorable to its reception--but all their attempts will be unavailing, as the Body of the People will clearly view their own interests, as intimately connected with the establishment of this new government. In several of the eastern states, I am persuaded it will be received with a political, bordering on the warmth of a religious, enthusiasm. In short, I am convinced that a great majority of the people will believe it is the only remedy that can be offered to cure the numerous evils that they are politically afflicted with. Pennsylvania will derive great consequence and consideration from taking the lead in the affair, as being the first to call a convention of the people. Three men lately received sentence of death at Burlington, having been found guilty of the murder of an old woman, near that city, as mentioned in the newspapers some time since.
ANECDOTES. At a village in North Wales, an aged woman, possessed of an handsome income, died suddenly, on which her relations came to take possession of the effects, and found in cash but two pence halfpenny; her household consisted of a poor apprentice girl, aged 15 years, and a magpie. The relations examined the girl very strictly, but she solemnly declared she knew nothing of her mistress's affairs, &c. In the midst of this stir the magpie struck their attention, by chattering "I'll hide more yet," and beating his bill against one particular plank in the floor, which caused a gentleman present to say, there was great sagacity in these birds; on which a carpenter was sent for, who with great difficulty took up the plank, and found it double, and it fastened in the floor by a strong steel spring, which the old lady could take up at her pleasure; which, on opening, was found to contain good. The double plank had a crevice in one end, where she pushed in the money; as there was a long wire found in a closet adjoining, it is thought that it was used, that the entrance should not be choaked.
When General Boyd was in Gibraltar, he wrote an order to his agent, whose name was Brown, for a quantity of garrison stores; but in his haste forgot an order for his own private stores, until the letter was sealed, and the vessel which was to carry it on the point of sailing; when he wrote on the outside of the letter the following laconic order, "Brown, Beef, Boyd." The agent understood the purport, obeyed the order, and with his consignment sent a private letter to the general with his own words transposed as follows: "Boyd, Beef, Brown."

ving the appearance of sugar loaves; in the false, both wings of the eagle are irregular and not well finished--in the true they are fuller and more regular; the staff on which is the cap of liberty in the Counterfeit, is perceptible to the feet of the woman--but in the good it only appears from above the hand; the whole of the arms have a lighter appearance in the bad than the good bill; the lower part of the upper border over the letter N is larger, and over the letters D S smaller in the true than in the false.
The Three Pound Bills. The No. after the No is almost thus 0 in the false bill, and the tail of the eagle is fuller and much better done than in the true; there 7 distinct rays of the sun in the good bills, but in the Counterfeits it is one continued ray; in the body of the bill the last letter in the word THREE has this appearance r, and the tales of the y's in the words 'payment' and 'treasury,' are somewhat deficient; the words 'the 18th' are at a greater distance from each other in the bad than good bill; the R in the word EXCELSIOR, is much the best in the Counterfeits, and the p in 'sculp.' in the top border is turned in, but in the true it is turned up. The Counterfeits are well executed, but appear not to have been printed on so good a type as the true, and the paper has a lighter cast, and feels smoother, than that of the genuine bills.
The One Pound Bills. In the body of the false bill, the y's in the words 'payment' and 'treasury,' are deficient and appear more like v's; and the beak of the eagle nearly touches the wing--in the true it does not; the cap on the staff of liberty is more open in the true than false ones, and there is a greater distance from the head of the figure to the cap in the good than false bills; in the word EXCELSIOR, the L touches the line under it, in the false--in the true it does not; in the true the face representing the sun is fairly above the mountains, in the false the chin rests upon them, and appears not quite risen; the rays about the sun are a perfect circle and of equal length--in the true, it is one continued ray; the oval which encircles the mountains and the sun, does not touch the line above 'Excelsior,' in the true--in the bad it does. The whole of the bill is well executed--the types and paper are the same as of the three pound bills.
Extract of a letter from Cape Fear to a Gentleman in this City, dated June 30, 1787.
"I was shipped on board the Schooner Trumbull, at Newpoint-Comfort, bound to Charleston, South Carolina. We went from Newpoint-Comfort to Hampton road, Virginia, and were cut out the same evening by some pirates. They hove one of the owners overboard same evening, and when they got out of the Capes they threw the pilot and one man that was wounded overboard. On the third day they all left us, a little North of Cape Hatteras, and endeavored to get to shore, but I believe they did not make it: they left us by reason of some vessels appearing which they took to be Algerines. They took the cabin boy with them. The morning after they were gone, the Captain ordered the mate (as he was not able to go on deck) to proceed for Charleston, where we were bound. We proceeded on our voyage, but on the third night were run down by a large ship, and lost all our hands but the Captain, who lay very sick in the cabin, the mate, one man and myself. Next morning Captain Griffin died: a little before he died he begged us to endeavor to get to our port, and there publish the whole transaction, and to inform Mr. Lynch's friends, at New-York or Long-Island, of his death, as he owned part of the vessel and cargo. Same day we were boarded by a Spanish vessel; they hove part of their cargo overboard and took in what they could of ours. They scuttled our vessel on both bows, but she did not sink while we were in sight. They carried us to Porto Rico, where we were confined in the fore-castle till they sailed for the Spanish Main. A short time after we were separated from the mate, who desired me to inform the other owner (who lives in Norfolk, but whose name I have forgot) of the transaction."

Extract of a letter from a Member of Congress, dated New-York, to a Gentleman in Philadelphia, September 23, 1787.
"I am extremely happy to find that the citizens of Philadelphia have so warmly expressed their approbation of the new Constitution and Form of Government for the United States."
"It would afford me additional pleasure if the legislature could have an opportunity of giving the sanction of their assent, by calling a convention of the people--but I am fearful this will not happen, as it cannot pass through the necessary formalities of Congress, previous to their adjournment, which by some accounts I find will be sooner than was expected."
"I am happy to discover no disposition in Congress to affect any alteration in the new
S H E L B U R N E, Sept. 6.
The Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs in England have extended and enlarged the time for registering of vessels in respect to the island of Newfoundland, and those parts of the provinces of Canada, Nova-Scotia, and New-Brunswick, which are adjacent to the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and to the North of Cape Canse, and also in regard to the Islands within the said limits, to the first day of January, 1788; and have declared, that at the end of one month from that period, this further notice will expire, and that all vessels required to be registered by the acts passed in the 26th and 27th years of his present Majesty's reign, must be registered, in conformity thereto, within the said period.
Sept. 13. Yesterday morning arrived here from Halifax, his Excellency General Carleton, Commander of his Majesty's troops in Nova-Scotia and New-Brunswick, and Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of the province of New-Brunswick.
Sept. 20. On Monday put in here his Majesty's sloop of war the Brisk, Captain Buller. We are informed she is bound to Passamaquoddy, being stationed there the winter; and that the Weazle sloop of war, Captain Hood, is appointed for this harbour.
Last Tuesday week was launched at Jordan river, for Mr. Cunningham, of this place, merchant, the Plough, a handsome well built Schooner, of about 70 tons burthen, now lying near the brig, building for him in the Cove.
The ship, building at Sissibou, is almost finished, and will be launched in about a month; she is said to be a very handsome vessel, and an exceeding good one. This is the second ship built in this province, and both in the county of Shelburne. There are some other vessels nearly finished on the western shore of this county, three of them of handsome burthen.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Sept. 29.
Three of the wheelbarrowmen who lately escaped from their keeper, were a few days ago retaken by some country people in a barn, hiding under a parcel of hay, secured and brought to town. They had provided themselves each with a bridle, no doubt intending to procure horses the first convenient opportunity. Tom Knight, one of their companions, got off after he was discovered, being well mounted.
On Friday evening, the 14th inst. a severe storm of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, was felt in this city and different parts of the country. At Chesnut-hill several trees were struck, and a house slightly injured by lightning. A frame house and part of a new brick house in Fourth street, near the play house, were blown down, and other damage was sustained in different parts of the city.
On Friday morning early, the 21st inst. died of a wound he received by the discharge of a fowling piece, Mr. Joseph Ogden, junior, of the Middle Ferry, Schuylkill. The occasion of his death should be warning to those who are in the use of fire arms. Mr. Ogden going out with a friend to shoot on the Schuylkill, one of the pieces accidentally went off, and its contents unfortunately lodged in Mr. Ogden's knee. He languished till next morning.
New-York, Oct. 4.
With the deepest regret we inform the public of the great number of Counterfeit Bills, which are now in circulation, particularly in the Northern parts of this State. Within a few days past two persons have been detected at Albany (and committed to gaol) in knowingly offering to pass Counterfeit Ten and Three Pound Bills--One of them had in his possession about fifty pounds of this paper, with a few good bills. The Counterfeits are of almost every denomination, and scarcely a day passes without more or less of them being discovered. For the information of the public we have been favored, by one of the Magistrates of that city with the following marks, &c. of the Ten, Three and One Pound Bills, whereby the Counterfeits may be distinguished from the true Bills.
In the Ten pound Bills. In the first word the T is thus T; in the body of the bill, the T is ten is deficient--in the true bill, the word is thus TEN--in the bad TEN; the following word in the true bill, is thus POUNDS, in the false POUNDS; the figure on the left hand side of the arms, representing Liberty, in the Counterfeits, appears to be reclining on her right hand--in the true, her arm is suspended holding the staff of liberty--in the same figure, the bolom is bare in the false, in the good it is not; the rays of the sun are five in number in the good bill, distinct, large and regular--in the Counterfeits they appear more like a crown, are only three and placed on the top of the sun; the mountains from behind which the sun is rising are very irregular in the false--but in the true, regular, ha-

NATHANIEL SMITH, Perfumer, from London, At the NEW-YORK Hair-Powder and Perfume Manufactory, The ROSE, No. 187, Queen-Street. RETURNS his sincere thanks to his numerous cus- tomers who have so liberally encouraged him, and he assures them he is determined to persevere in selling every article usual in the Perfumery line of the first quality, and on as low terms as it is possible to afford them. SMITH begs leave to recommend to ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin, it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, be- ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its inno- cence, for cleansing and clearing the skin from hard pimples, scurf or tans, rendering it quite soft, deli- cate and fair; half a dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies can- not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of. LIKewise may be had as above, SMITH's Super- fine English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash- Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Con- cave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds.

CHRISTOPHER COLLES, BY the advise of some particular Friends, proposes to open an EVENING ACADEMY this winter, at the EXCHANGE, for the improvement of Young Gentlemen, in the following useful and entertaining Branches of Mathematical Knowledge. He flatters himself, that as these sciences have been his constant and favorite study, and as he is provided with Mathematical and Philosophical Instruments, and Apparatus, such Gentlemen as apply, will think their time and money well dis- posed of.
He proposes to teach Arithmetic in whole and broken numbers, including Vul- gar, Decimal, Duodecimal, and Sexagesi- mal Fractions and Logarithms, with the application thereof in a variety of calcula- tions, many of which, though highly use- ful, are seldom taught in schools. Geometry and Trigonometry will also be taught with their application in the mea- surement of inaccessible heights and distances, in Surveying, Navigation, Gauging, Men- surement of Superficies, Solids, and Artifi- cers work, in the projection of the Sphere, in the construction of Maps of countries, Charts of harbours, in taking levels for cou- veying water, with the construction and ap- plication of the Circumferentor, Quarter'd Compass, Theodolite, and Plain Table, the manner of construction of Scales, Sectors, Quadrants, and other Mathematical Instru- ments.
He proposes to teach a new method of proportioning Architecture, and of drawing Plans, Elevations, Sections, and perspective Views of buildings, according to the taste of the most approved judges in this Art, having served a regular apprenticeship there- to, and been afterward engaged as Archi- tect and principal Engineer in public build- ings and other works in Europe, at which he had much experience, and many oppor- tunities of improvement.
He has, in the course of his practice in Europe, created many mechanic and hy- draulic Machines; as Water, Wind, Fire, and Horse Engines, Cranes, Pumps, and other Inventions for saving bodily labour; the Theory of these he will explain and teach in the fullest manner, and give ample instructions for making all necessary calc- ulations relative thereto.
He will also explain the doctrine of Pro- jectiles, with the application thereof to the Art of Gunnery, which will be rendered perfectly familiar, by means of apparatus invented for that purpose. As he proposes not to take more Pupils than he can do justice to, he requests such as wish to attend, may apply speedily to him at No. 3, on the lower Battery. Sept. 27, 1787.
