Mr. Jay, Col. Hamilton, Harrison, Low, Are honest, good patriots all of us knows; Mr. Livingston, Roosevelt, his Worship the Mayor, Will look to your interests with very great care. Judge Morris and Hobart are true to the cause, They'll preserve us from ruin by strengthening our laws.
Then turn out and vote every Federal Mechanic, The Anti's are now in a terrible panic; Our Government firmly establish'd shall be, While the citizens still will be happy and free.

Feb. 23. The American intercourse bill was yesterday read a third time, in the House of Commons, and sent to the Lord's.
War between the Emperor & his Majesty of Prussia is supposed to be inevitable.
The Protestant act, after meeting with the most stubborn opposition, is now about to be inregistered. The clergy have disputed every line of it, against the sense and conviction of every other part of the nation.
Feb. 28. Yesterday the American Ambassador and his Secretary took leave of his Majesty previous to his return to America.
Mr. Adams, the American Ambassador, on his return home, quits all official situation, and reverts to the practice of the law.
Feb. 29. It is currently reported that France had obtained the free navigation of the Red Sea, and that the treaty to that effect has been signed by the Pacha at Grand Cairo, and by the Captain Pacha at Constantinople.
Having obtained this point she will probably look forward to the Black Sea, and perhaps to the possession of Egypt; and should their projects be ever realized, our India Company will repent of their negligence in not engaging Government to counteract the intrigues of the French Court, or at least in not obtaining similar privileges to the British flag.
A tax upon watches has been proposed, and rejected; it not being the way of the present administration to raise money on tick.

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar Feb. 8.
"By the arrival of commodore Crosby's cruisers, and other, we learn, that there are prodigious naval preparations going on in the African ports, particularly at Tunis, where the bey has 17 men of war of different rates equipping. There does not remain a doubt but the Ottoman Porte are the secret cause of all these preparations, and that these subordinate states are designed to assist the Turks with their whole force in cases of necessity; at least they may be a check to the Venetians and Maltese."
The same letters advise, that the Bey of Tunis, on the Barbary coast, was full of armed ships belonging to the emperor of Morocco, which were about to sail on some secret expedition in favour of the Ottoman Porte; and that all the other Barbary states were fitting out cruisers for the same purpose.
A correspondent from Flanders writes, "In my tour through the Austrian Low Countries, from Brussels to this place (Ostend) I met with scarce any thing else but recruiting parties beating up for soldiers to form new regiments for the emperor's service in Germany, whither they are sent in parties of 100 as they are picked up."
The Spaniards are beginning their old game in the West Indies, and on the continent of South America, among the British logwood cutters, whom they are resolved not to leave unmolested. It was a similar conduct brought on the war in 1744, which broke out suddenly. Jamaica, in its present defenceless state, would be a precious morsel for the House of Bourbon.
S A L E M, April 15.
Last Thursday, sailed from this port, the brig CADET, Jonathan Carnes, Master, and Mr. William Vans, jun. owner and factor, bound for Madeira, and from thence to the India and China seas—Prosperous be the voyage!
B O S T O N, April 18.
Wednesday evening arrived here the ship Mary, Capt. Bernard, in seven weeks from London.
The brig Lydia, Capt. John Murphey, arrived at Salem on Saturday last, from Alicante in Spain, after a passage of 68 days.—March 16th, in lat. 24, long. 46, 30, he spoke the brig Agnes, Capt. Dennie, belonging to Col. Sargent, of this town, from hence bound to Martinico, who in a
heavy gale, two days after he failed, lost every thing off deck except his boats—All well on board.
So seldom do the vessels of the United States venture so far up the Mediterranean, that the American flag was viewed at Alicante as a novelty.
The talk at Alicante was, that a matrimonial alliance had taken place between Russia and Naples; and that those two powers, in union with Spain, would, the ensuing summer, bombard Algiers, and attempt the entire destruction of that nest of pirates.
Thursday, the 8th of May, is appointed for the execution of the two highwaymen, convicted at the late term of the Supreme Judicial Court in this town.
N E W - H A V E N, April 23.
Monday last, Mr. Jonathan Mansfield Peck, of Woodbridge, being at work near a dry tree, which had been girdled some years since, a sudden gust of wind blew the tree, down, and falling on him, almost instantly put a period to his life. He was a reputable Inhabitant of that Town, and one of their Selectmen. It is remarkable, there were but two Trees in the Inclosure, (which contained 10 Acres) where Mr. Peck was employed, one besides that which proved fatal to him. He was about 30 years old, and has left a Widow and three Children.

For the DAILY ADVERTISER. To the Freeholders and Freemen of the City and County of New-York.
Fellow Citizens and Freemen, WE are now called upon to ascertain, by our conduct, whether we are inclined to act the part of good citizens, by supporting the reputation our country, or whether we are disposed to verify the mortifying predictions of our enemies, who, from their pretended knowledge of the American character, long since asserted, that our natural fickleness and impatience of control would soon render us sick of our independence and tired of our freedom.
The great object now before us, and which has already engrossed much of the time and attention of our sister States, is come home to our own doors; and the genius of liberty at this moment hovers over America with inexpressible solicitude, anxious to communicate her blessed influence, but diffident of her reception.
Pause a moment then, my dear countrymen, and view our situation. The question is nearly come to this—Shall we perpetuate the numberless advantages procured by our countrymen, after a long and severe struggle? Shall we unite with the members of the Union, as a band of indissoluble brothers? Or, shall we—forgetful of all the endearing ties of affection, kindred, and country, endanger the peace of America, and the happiness of generations yet unborn?
The question is certainly a very awful one. Need I demand an answer? No—methinks I hear it re-echoed from every quarter, let us unite, to save our country!! Let us exert ourselves to advance those men who view the consolidation of our Union, as the glory and happiness of America—Let us manifest our love to liberty, by spirited exertions to preserve it. The cause before us, is the cause of virtue and honor, let us never be ashamed to countenance it, nor afraid to support it.
It is the object and desire of all the real patriots of America, that the Federal Constitution be adopted without one dissenting State; should this happily take place, it will give immediate efficacy to the new Government at home, and respectability abroad. There is, however, no manner of question, but that nine, or more States, will adopt the New Constitution, without any condition of previous amendments.—They will trust, (and there is no danger that their honest confidence will be abused) to the virtue and patriotism of Congress, when organized, that if experience shall evince the necessity of amendments, they will then be admitted. Let us therefore chuse those to represent us in Convention, who are friends to a national government, men who have just ideas of the solid interests of this country, and particularly of this State, and more particularly still, of the Southern parts of it.
Let us earnestly endeavor to procure the adoption of the new Federal Constitution, with a good grace, that we may not risk any of the awkward peradventures, which might follow from the rejection of it. Let us, my friends, as the present occasion is no trivial, nor common one, turn out like freemen, and give our votes like independent men; the present crisis demands a decision, equal to its importance, and the man who at such a time, neglects or refuses to give his suffrage, is, in my opinion, unworthy of the privilege.
From a conscientious persuasion, that it will be good for our State, to come cheerfully into the proposed national government, I beg permission to recommend to your choice, at the polls, this day, the gentlemen who constitute the Federal Ticket. They are good men, and we have profited heretofore, as you all know, by the public services of many of them.
A FREEHOLDER.
From the Virginia Independent Chronicle.
RICHARD HENRY LEE, Esq.
SIR, March 12, 1788.
[Continued from Saturday's Paper.]
"THE only check, you say, to be found in favour of the democratical principle in this system is, the house of representatives, which, I believe, may be justly called a mere shred or rag of representation. It being obvious to the least examination, that smallness of number and great disparity of power render that house of little effect to promote good or restrain bad government." Many of your objections, Sir, are so extremely puerile and absurd, that I can scarcely reconcile it to myself you are serious. How can that house of representatives be called "a mere shred or rag of representation," when it will consist of men elected by the unbought, unbiased suffrages of a free, virtuous, and enlightened people? How can it be said that they want power, when no act, however trivial, can take place without their assent, and when not one shilling of the public money can be touched without their approbation? In England, although the King has ten offices at his disposal, for one that the President and Senate have, and an annual revenue, for life, of one million two hundred thousand pounds besides, yet the House of Commons, venal as it is, has been found by experience to be a sufficient counterpoise to his influence.
Your objection to the "smallness of number" is equally unsatisfactory. The British House of Com-
mons, consisting of more than 500 members, is supposed to be always under the influence of the Crown, by bribery of different kinds. If this, Sir, is true, you must agree with me, that in the government, in which the representatives are elected in such a manner as to make them liable to bribery, the only difference is, that it would take 1500 money to bribe one hundred than five hundred; and as the sums which are lavishly given in bribery are levied on the people, the fewer members there are to bribe, the less money would the people be obliged to pay. But in the federal government the House of Representatives cannot be bribed until the body of the people will become corrupted. Each member will represent thirty thousand souls, and as he will be elected every two years, we have every reason to suppose, that he will continue virtuous until his constituents shall become venal. In England, the representatives of large counties and cities, such as Middlesex and London, always discharge their duty, when those who are elected by small places are generally the partisans of the Crown: and why? because the constituents of the former, being more numerous, cannot be bribed, when those of the latter, being, in many places, few in number, are easily corrupted. If then, the representatives from large counties and cities faithfully discharge the trust reposed in them, in a federal parliament, is there not much more reason to expect it in a biennial one?
The number of the House of Representatives is limited, at present, to sixty-five, but Mr. Mason informs us, this was determined upon by the general Convention, at a time when it was intended to give a representative, only, to every forty thousand souls: As the number to each representative is reduced, by the constitution, to thirty thousand, and as this regulation will take place in three years, at farthest, the number of the House of Representatives will consist at least of eighty four. But as I am inclined to believe that the number of souls in America amounts to three millions, the House of Representatives will, then, consist of one hundred members, and will increase in proportion as our numbers encrease. It is also, Sir, to be believed, that the Federal House of Representatives will consist of men of unspotted reputations; of men, in whose bosoms the sacred principle of patriotism has always glowed in its utmost purity; of men, who, in every possible situation of affairs, have, invariably, discovered an incorruptible attachment to our country; of men, Sir, who have violently opposed the odious laws of a British government, and steadily viewed, with strong abhorrence, every arbitrary measure, which that power insidiously pursued to enslave us. This is not, Sir, an exaggerated description. The day will arrive, when you shall see it realized; and trust me, Sir, I had you in contrast, when I drew the picture.

Staten-Island, April, 1788. AT a meeting of a number of inhabitants in this place, it was unanimously agreed to, that JOSHUA MERSEREU, Esq. be held up, at the ensuing election, as one of the Senators for the Southern District. He is a man of abilities, and one, in whom we can confide; and from the determined part he took, in the struggle with Great-Britain, for the rights and privileges of freemen. We trust his character is well known to many among you; we ardently hope the resolve of this meeting will be approved of by you, and we beg leave to request your aid and influence with the electors in your County, being persuaded, if we can obtain your assistance, our efforts here, will not fail of success.
We are your most obedient humble servants. Signed by order, and in behalf of the Committee, B. PARKER, Clerk.

A. L. BLEECKER.
IN Mr. John Macpherson's Lecture on Longitude, last Saturday, he observed to his hearers, that Mr. John Churchman had endeavored to steal the credit of it from him, as said Churchman did the draught of Delaware bay from Mr. Joshua Fisher before.
That he knew Mr. Churchman to be a very slow man; and said, if Churchman never had been taught to eat bread and milk with a spoon, he never would have found out the way, but would have lapt it, like a dog, with his tongue.
THIS EVENING, at his own house, No. 21, George-street, he lectures on MINERALS, and discovers a method to destroy, or prevent the propagation of worms in the human body.
Worms torture many millions, and kill at least one eighth part of the human race. If so, and experience proves his discovery right, it surely will prevent a great deal of pain and sickness, and save the lives of many thousand millions of his fellow creatures.
As this will be Mr. Macpherson's last Lecture, for this season, he hopes those who have any of his Tickets will return them, should they not attend, this day.
He concludes with demonstrating plainly, that he can make any weight, whatever was moved by man, run across any street in this city, higher than any building in that street.
Some people are like the woman, who told her son he lied, because he said he had seen flying fish.
