New-York, Jan. 3.
A letter from Gottenburg, in Sweden, to a gentleman in Boston, dated the 4th November, 1787, says, "Accounts just now arrived from Germany breathe nothing but war between the King of Prussia and the Emperor, and also between France, England and Holland. You have no doubt heard that the Turks have already declared war against the Russians, who will call on the Court of Vienna for assistance."
Yesterday arrived the brig Sophia, Capt. Kwing, in fifty-two days from London-derry.
Also arrived, the sloop Nancy, Newbold, from Edenton, N. C. and the sloop Brandywine, Hill, from Wilmington, N. C.
The Hibernia, Captain Lithgow, from Philadelphia, is arrived at Londonderry. The ship Mary, Captain Stevenfon, was advertised, in the L. Derry Journal of the 30th Oct. to sail for New-York in a few days after.
The arrival of the brig Sophia has furnished us with L. Derry papers to the 30th October, from which the following advices are extracted:
L O N D O N.
Authentic information was received Sunday last from Holland—the affairs of that distracted Republic are not likely to be so speedily restored to tranquility, as it was generally expected. When M. de Thulemeyer, the Prussian Ambassador at the Hague, first delivered the memorial that contained the intimation of that Monarch's intended interference in the concerns of the States, nothing was said or written upon the subject, as to the motives for his conduct, beyond the mere wish to obtain reparation to the Princess of Orange for the insult she had received; since the surrender of Amsterdam, however, a different language has been held.
On a suggestion being thrown out to the Duke of Brunswick since the capitulation of that place, that it would tend to restore quiet, if the Prussian army were to retire from the city, M. de Thulemeyer sent a regular official intimation to the Magistrates, that it was the determination of his Master not to quit Amsterdam until every farthing of the expence he had incurred in consequence of his preparations was fully paid; at the same time rating the amount of this expenditure upon a most enormous scale.
This has thrown the Council of Amsterdam into the utmost consternation. They cannot order the payment of the money, without regular authority from the States, and, by their refusal, are exposed to the daily hazard of the plunder of the soldiery. — On their declining to advance the sum demanded, M. de Thulemeyer informed them, he should publish a manifesto, declaratory of the purposes and resolutions of his master. On the interposition, however, of the Princess of Orange, this violent measure was suspended, till the Ministers of the Court of London should have been consulted. Accordingly a Council was held yesterday in the evening; and two extraordinary messengers were dispatched, one to the King of Prussia, at Berlin, and another to Sir J. Harris, at the Hague.
The melancholy alternatives, which this unforeseen conduct on the part of the King of Prussia, presents to the States, are these: If that Monarch perseveres in his determination to enforce his demand, the city of Amsterdam will be exposed (to speak most leniently) to the horrors of a military contribution; the cause of the House of Orange will be rendered unpopular; and the hostile faction be encouraged and countenanced in soliciting the immediate interference of the Court of France, to rescue them from so unexpected an exaction. If, on the other hand, he fails in getting the money, which he evidently wants at present, and acquires in the non-payment, he will probably withdraw his troops not only from Amsterdam, but from the territories of the States entirely, and leave the contending parties to fight it out as well as they can. In that case, it is not apparent that any one thing he has yet done will have much operation in composing the unhappy dissensions of the Republic.
D U R L I N, Oct. 25.
It is with infinite concern we announce, that his Grace the Duke of Rutland's disease baffled all the powers of medicine, and the skill of the most able physicians; for last night, about the hour of eight, he departed this life at the Phenix-lodge. His death is universally regretted from his many amiable and social qualities, and his loss will be severely felt by many to whom his generosity and charitable disposition have often afforded relief.
His grace was the first Lord Lieutenant that died in the government of this kingdom, altho', since the year 1711, 37 Noblemen have filled that important station. — His Grace was appointed Lord Lieutenant of this kingdom on the 11th of Feb. 1782.
in the room of the Earl of Northington, and landed the 24th of the same month.
Her Grace the Duchess of Rutland was expected to arrive here on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last. The yacht has been some time in waiting for her.
The FEDERALIST, No. XXXI. To the People of the State of New-York.
ALTHOUGH I am of opinion that there would be no real danger of the consequences, which seem to be apprehended to the State Governments, from a power in the Union to control them in the levies of money; because I am persuaded that the sense of the people, the extreme hazard of provoking the resentments of the State Governments, and a conviction of the utility and necessity of local administrations, for local purposes, would be a complete barrier against the oppressive use of such a power: Yet I am willing here to allow in its full extent the justness of the reasoning, which requires that the individual States should possess an independent and uncontrollable authority to raise their own revenues for the supply of their own wants. And making this concession I affirm that (with the sole exception of duties on imports and exports) they would under the plan of the Convention retain that authority in the most absolute and unqualified sense; and that an attempt on the part of the national Government to a-bridge them in the exercise of it would be a violent assumption of power unwarranted by any article or clause of its Constitution.
An entire consolidation of the States into one complete national sovereignty would imply an entire subordination of the parts; and whatever powers might remain in them would be altogether dependent on the general will. But as the plan of the Convention aims only at a partial Union or consolidation, the State Governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had and which were not by that act exclusively delegated to the United States. This exclusive delegation or rather this alienation of State sovereignty would only exist in three cases; where the Constitution in express terms granted an exclusive authority to the Union and in another prohibited the States from exercising the like authority; and where it granted an authority to the Union, to which a similar authority in the States would be absolutely and totally contradictory and repugnant. I use these terms to distinguish this last case from another which might appear to resemble it; but which would in fact be essentially different; I mean where the exercise of a concurrent jurisdiction might be productive of occasional interferences in the policy of any branch of administration, but would not imply any direct contradiction or repugnancy in point of constitutional authority. These three cases of exclusive jurisdiction in the Federal Government may be exemplified by the following instances: The last clause but one in the 8th section of the 1st article provides expressly that Congress shall exercise "exclusive legislation" over the district to be appropriated as the seat of Government. This answers to the first case. The first clause of the same section empowers Congress "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises" and the 2d clause of the 10th section of the same article declares that "no State shall without the consent of Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports except for the purpose of executing its inspection laws." Hence would result an exclusive power in the Union to lay duties on imports and exports with the particular exception mentioned; but this power is abridged by another clause which declares that no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State; in consequence of which qualification it now only extends to the duties on imports. This answers to the second case. The third will be found in that clause, which declares that Congress shall have power "to establish an UNIFORM RULE of naturalization throughout the United States." This must necessarily be exclusive; because if each State had power to prescribe a DISTINCT RULE there could not be an UNIFORM RULE.
A case which may perhaps be thought to resemble the latter, but which is in fact widely different, affects the question immediately under consideration. I mean the power of imposing taxes on all articles other than exports and imports. This, I contend, is manifestly a concurrent and co-equal authority in the United States, and in the individual States. There is plainly no expression in the granting clause which makes that power exclusive in the Union. There is no independent clause or sentence which prohibits the States from exercising it. So far is this from being the case, that a plain and conclusive argument to the contrary, is to be deduced from the restraint laid upon the States in relation to duties on imports and exports. This restriction implies an admission, that if it were not inserted, the States would possess the power it excludes; and it implies a further admission, that as to all other taxes, the authority of the States remains undiminished. In
any other view, it would be both unnecessary and dangerous; it would be unnecessary, because if the grant to the Union of the power of laying such duties, implied the exclusion of the States, or even their subordination in this particular, there could be no need of such a restriction; it would be dangerous, because the introduction of it leads directly to the conclusion which has been mentioned, and which, if the reasoning of the objections be just, could not have been intended; I mean, that the States in all cases, to which the restriction did not apply, would have a concurrent power of taxation with the Union. The restriction in question amounts to what lawyers call a NEGATIVE PREGNANT; that is, a negation of one thing, and an affirmation of another; a negation of the authority of the States to impose taxes on imports and exports, an an affirmation of their authority to impose them on all other articles. It would be mere sophistry to argue, that it was meant to exclude them absolutely from the imposition of taxes of the former kind, and to leave them at liberty to lay others subject to the control of the National Legislature. The restraining or prohibitory clause, only says, that they shall not, without the consent of Congress, lay such duties; and if we are to understand this in the sense last mentioned, the Constitution would then be made to introduce a formal provision, for the sake of a very absurd conclusion; which is, that the States, with the consent of the National Legislature might tax imports and exports; and that they might tax every other article, unless controlled by the same body. If this was the intention, why not leave it in the first instance, to what is alleged to be the natural operation of the original clause, conferring a general power of taxation upon the Union? It is evident, that this could not have been the intention, and that it will not bear a construction of the kind.
As to a supposition of repugnancy between the power of taxation in the States and in the Union, it cannot be supported in that sense which would be requisite to work an exclusion of the States. It is indeed possible that a tax might be laid on a particular article by a State which might render it inexpedient that a further tax should be laid on the same article by the Union; but it would not imply a constitutional inability to impose a further tax. The quantity of the imposition, the expediency or inexpediency of an increase on either side, would be mutually questions of prudence; but there would be involved no direct contradiction of power. The particular policy of the national and of the State systems of finance might now and then not exactly coincide, and might require reciprocal forbearances. It is not however a mere possibility of inconvenience in the exercise of powers, but an immediate constitutional repugnancy, that can by implication alienate and extinguish a pre-existing right of sovereignty.
The necessity of a concurrent jurisdiction in certain cases results from the division of the sovereign power; and the rule that all authorities of which the States are not explicitly divested in favor of the Union remain with them in full vigor, is not a theoretical consequence of that division, but is clearly admitted by the whole tenor of the instrument which contains the articles of the proposed Constitution. We there find that notwithstanding the affirmative grants of general authorities, there has been the most pointed care in those cases, where it was deemed improper that the like authorities should reside in the States, to insert negative clauses prohibiting the exercise of them by the States. The tenth section of the first article consists altogether of such provisions. This circumstance is a clear indication of the sense of the Convention, and furnishes a rule of interpretation out of the body of the act which justifies the position I have advanced, and refutes every hypothesis to the contrary.
The last clause of the eighth section of the first article of the plan under consideration, authorises the national Legislature "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper, for carrying into execution the powers by that Constitution vested in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof;" and the second clause of the sixth article declares, that "the Constitution and the Laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof, and the treaties made by their authority shall be the supreme law of the land; any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
These two clauses have been the fountains of much virulent invective and petulant declamation against the proposed Constitution; they have been held up to the people, in all the exaggerated colors of misrepresentation, as the pernicious engines by which their local Governments were to be destroyed and their liberties exterminated—as the hideous monster whose devouring jaws would spare neither sex nor age, nor high nor low, nor sacred nor profane; and yet strange as it may appear, after all this clamor, to those who may not have happened to contemplate them in the same light, it may be affirmed with per-
fect confidence, that the constitutional operation of the intended Government would be precisely the same, if these clauses were entirely obliterated, as if they were repeated in every article. They are only declaratory of a truth, which would have resulted by necessary and unavoidable implication from the very act of constituting a Federal Government, and vesting it with certain specified powers. This is so clear a proposition, that moderation itself can scarcely listen to the railings which have been so copiously vented against this part of the plan, without emotions that disturb its equanimity.
What is a power, but the ability or faculty of doing a thing? What is the ability to do a thing but the power of employing the means necessary to its execution? What is a LEGISLATIVE power but a power of making LAWS? What are the means to execute a LEGISLATIVE power but LAWS? What is the power of laying and collecting taxes but a legislative power, or a power of making laws, to lay and collect taxes? What are the proper means of executing such a power but necessary and proper laws?
This simple train of enquiry furnishes us at once with a test, by which to judge of the true nature of the clause complained of. It conducts us to this palpable truth, that a power to lay and collect taxes, must be a power to pass all laws necessary and proper for the execution of that power; and what does the unfortunate and calumniated provision in question, do more, than declare the same truth; to wit, that the National Legislature, to whom the power of laying and collecting taxes had been previously given, might, in the execution of that power, pass all laws necessary and proper to carry it into effect? I have applied these observations thus particularly to the power of taxation, because it is the immediate subject under consideration, and because it is the most important of the authorities proposed to be conferred upon the Union. But the same process will lead to the same result, in relation to all other powers declared in the Constitution. And it is expressly to execute these powers, that the sweeping clause, as it has been affectionately called, authorises the National Legislature to pass all necessary and proper laws. If there is any thing exceptionable, it must be sought for in the specific powers, upon which this general declaration is predicated. The declaration itself, though it may be chargeable with tautology or redundancy, is at least perfectly harmless.
But suspicion may ask, why then was it introduced? The answer is, that it could only have been done for greater caution, and to guard against all cavilling refinements in those, who might hereafter feel a disposition to curtail and evade the legitimate authorities of the Union. The Convention probably foresaw what it has been a principal aim of these papers to inculcate, that the danger, which most threatens our political welfare, is, that the State Governments will finally sap the foundations of the Union; and might therefore think it necessary, in so cardinal a point, to leave nothing to construction. Whatever may have been the inducement to it, the wisdom of the precaution is evident, from the cry which has been raised against it; as that very cry betrays a disposition to question the great and essential truth, which it is manifestly the object of that provision to declare.
But it may be again asked, who is to judge of the necessity and propriety of the laws to be passed for executing the powers of the Union? I answer first that this question arises as well and as fully upon the simple grant of those powers, as upon the declaratory clause: And I answer in the second place, that the national Government like every other, must judge in the first instance of the proper exercise of its powers; and its constituents in the last. If the Federal Government should overpass the just bounds of its authority, and make a tyrannical use of its powers; the people whose creature it is must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution, as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify. The propriety of a law in a constitutional light, must always be determined by the nature of the powers upon which it is founded. Suppose by some forced constructions of its authority (which indeed cannot easily be imagined) the Federal Legislature should attempt to vary the law of descent in any State; would it not be evident that in making such an attempt it had exceeded its jurisdiction and infringed upon that of the State? Suppose again that upon the pretence of an interference with its revenues, it should undertake to abrogate a land tax imposed by the authority of a State; would it not be equally evident that this was an invasion of that concurrent jurisdiction in respect to this species of tax which its Constitution plainly supposes to exist in the State Governments? If there ever should be a doubt on this head the credit of it will be entirely due to those reasoners, who, in the imprudent zeal of their animosity to the plan of the

Convention, have labored to envelope it in a cloud calculated to obscure the plainest and simplest truths.
But it is said, that the laws of the Union are to be the supreme law of the land. But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme? It is evident they would amount to nothing. A LAW, by the very meaning of the term, includes supremacy. It is a rule which those to whom it is prescribed are bound to observe. This results from every political association. If individuals enter into a state of society, the laws of that society must be the supreme regulator of their conduct. If a number of political societies enter into a larger political society, the laws which the latter may enact, pursuant to the powers entrusted to it by its constitution, must necessarily be supreme over those societies, and the individuals of whom they are composed. It would otherwise be a mere treaty, dependent on the good faith of the parties, and not a Government; which is only another word for POLITICAL POWER AND SUPREMACY. But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society, which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such. Hence we perceive that the clause which declares the supremacy of the laws of the Union, like the one we have just before considered, only declares a truth, which flows immediately and necessarily from the institution of a Federal Government. It will not, I presume, have escaped observation, that it expressly confines this supremacy to laws made pursuant to the Constitution; which I mention merely as an instance of caution in the Convention; since that limitation would have been understood, though it had not been expressed.
Though a law, therefore, for laying a tax for the use of the United States, would be supreme in its nature, and could not legally be opposed or controled; yet a law for abolishing or preventing the collection of a tax laid by the authority of the State (unless upon imports and exports) would not be the supreme law of the land, but an usurpation of power not granted by the Constitution. As far as an improper accumulation of taxes on the same object might tend to render the collection difficult or precarious, this would be a mutual inconvenience not arising from a superiority or defect of power on either side, but from an injudicious exercise of power by one or the other, in a manner equally disadvantageous to both. It is to be hoped and presumed however that mutual interest would dictate a concert in this respect, which would avoid any material inconvenience. The inference from the whole is - that the individual States would, under the proposed Constitution, retain an independent and uncontrollable authority to raise revenue to any extent of which they may stand in need by every kind of taxation, except duties on imports and exports. It will be shown in the next paper, that this CONCURRENT JURISDICTION in the article of taxation was the only admissible substitute for an entire subordination, in respect to this branch of power, of the State authority to that of the PUBLIUS.

To the People of America.
AMONGST the numerous publications that have issued from the press, on the subject of Federal Government, none have attracted the public attention more than that entitled the FEDERALIST, under the signature of PUBLIUS. The justness of the reasoning, the force of the arguments and the beauty of the language which distinguish this performance, have justly recommended it to general applause.
To attain a competent knowledge of the advantages to be derived from adopting the proposed FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, is no doubt the sincere wish of every true friend to his country: This performance being entirely free from party spirit and personal inuendo, is therefore well calculated to accomplish so desirable an end.
The avidity with which this writer's pieces have been sought after by politicians and persons of every description, and the particular attention the different printers throughout the United States have shown them by regular insertions in their papers, are conclusive proofs of the superior excellence of this elegant political production. The manner in which the author treats and discusses the controverted parts of the Constitution, displays much information, patriotism and candor, and can hardly fail of meeting with a favorable reception from the opponents as well as the advocates of the new system of Government.
Under this persuasion, the publishers flatter themselves with the countenance and support of the citizens of America, to a publication evidently written to promote their welfare, happiness and prosperity.
In the Press, and speedily will be published, The FEDERALIST;
A collection of ESSAYS, written in favor of the NEW CONSTITUTION.
By a CITIZEN of NEW-YORK:

20Hhds. of St. Croix SUGAR For SALE, by JOZE ROIZ SILVA, at the Old-Slip. New-York, Nov. 5, 1787. tf
Dr. RYAN's incomparable SUGAR PLUMBS,
Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, So exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendant excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the du- odenum, or gut next the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purgatives in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all stiff and clam- my humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, flinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smooth- ness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gra- vel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk.
I have by these plumbs cured a great many chil- dren of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to fam- ilies, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions.
These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and purrid hu- mours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purrid matter.
The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of slime; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medi- cine in the cholick and griping of the gut; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, cau- ses a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicl distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, droppies and yel- low jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and consti- tutions, from infancy to an old age.

THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Eccle- man-street, formerly Chapel-street.
ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Ware-Room of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more ex- tensive plan than heretofore; and for the conveni- ence of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to ob- serve the daily importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspi- cuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf.
