PHILADELPHIA, August 4. On Wednesday last, agreeably to regular appointment, a Commencement was celebrated at the University of Pennsylvania, with the customary solemnities. The Trustees and Faculty met early in the Apparatus Chamber, to adjust some preliminary business. A little after 10 o'clock they passed in procession, followed by the Graduates, into the Public Hall, where a very respectable Assembly had already convened. Immediately after, the Honorable the Vice-President of New-Jersey College, the Clergy of the city, and many other persons of eminence, were also present.
After the performance of an anthem, vocal and instrumental music coalescing, the Provost delivered a solemn prayer adapted to the occasion. Then the following exercises took place in their appointed order.
A Latin Salutatory Oration—in which was the win the supreme advantage of a virtuous education: and, that purity and good manners in youth, are the only sure grounds of success and eminence in literature. By Mr. James Robins.
An Oration on the benefits redounding to the community from Agriculture —the pleasure and respectability of the life of an intelligent Farmer. By Mr. Abijah Davis.
A descriptive Oration on the Philosophical knowledge of Nature , particularly with regard to those subjects and scenes in the creation, which are obvious to every rational enquirer.—The exquisite entertainment and profit which attend the study of this branch. By Mr. William Hewson.
A Discourse, in which were portrayed the gradual advances of civilization, social manners, and government:—the influence, in particular, which the tillage of the earth and rural employments have upon these—the pleasing prospects that now open on this country. By Mr. William Morris.
A Forensic Disputation concerning the existence of that general kingdom of nature, called the Material World .—Denied by Mr. James P. Wilson—Affirmed by Mr. Nathaniel Harris. The arguments of the disputants were managed on metaphysical principles.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts was then conferred on the above-named young gentlemen, including the Salutatory Speaker, viz. Abijah Davis and Nathaniel Harris, of New-Jersey, William Hewson, Michael Kepple, and William Morris, of Philadelphia, James Robins, of Maryland, and James P. Wilson, of the Delaware State.
The following young gentlemen were admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Physic: James Beatty and John McClellan, of Pennsylvania, Reverdy Giffelin, of Maryland, William Parker, A. M. of South-Carolina, Francis Bowes Sayre, and Henry Stuber, A. M. of Philadelphia.
Those graduates had not only finished their studies under very able practitioners, but attended the several courses of lectures given by the medical professors; likewise the courses in Natural Philosophy; and agreeably to the rules of the University—particularly the medical institutions—they had undergone both private and public examinations, as strict as those observed in regard to the other candidates.
The degree of Master of Arts was conferred on the following gentlemen: Robert Paterson, Professor of Mathematics in the University, Rev. Henry Waddell, of New-Jersey, Samuel Prileau, of South-Carolina, Joseph Millar, of the Delaware State, Philip Physic, of Philadelphia, and John Gemmill.
The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred on Nicholas Baker Waters, B. M. of Philadelphia. This gentleman had prepared and submitted to the examination of the Governors of the University, the Faculty, and such other literary persons as might think proper to examine it, a Latin Dissertation on Effay— Tentamen Medicum Inaugurale, de Scarlatina Cynanchica .
The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on the Rev. Robert Blackwell, Rev. Nicholas Collin and the Rev. Samuel Jones, in consideration of their abilities and eminence in life.

Sublime musical selections vocal and instrumental. The university is under great obligations to Mr. ADGATE, who conducted the music on this occasion, heightening much the entertainment of the day; and to the gentlemen who assisted him; but particularly the Young Ladies.
* Elder son to William Hewson, F. R. S. the eminent Anatomist, so well known among men of Science, and so justly esteemed an ornament of that profession, to which, by his too minute researches, he unfortunately died a martyr.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 6. A Boston paper says, "in the Cato , from France, came passenger, Peter Oshquette , who we are told is a son to the King of the Six Nations, and whom the Marquis de la Fayette some time since sent to France to be educated—He speaks the French and English languages with accuracy, and is acquainted with most of the branches of polite education—music, &c. and is on his way to the Indian country."
The following letter from the Rev. Doctor Nevil Maskelyne, Astronomer Royal at Greenwich, to his Excellency Dr. Franklin, will inform the public of the success of Mr. Churchman's scheme for the discovery of longitude. Greenwich, March 31, 1788.
SIR, ON the 2d of May, last year, I received from you a paper concerning the variation of the compass, by Mr. Churchman, of Philadelphia, of which you desired my opinion. As he at the same time sent another similar paper to the Board of Longitude, of which I am a member, I did not think I could properly send you my private opinion, till that of the Board had been taken. I have now the pleasure to acknowledge the favor of your letter, and to acquaint you that the Board of Longitude considered it last Saturday, and agreed it was not new; the idea of accounting for the variation having been published in the Berlin Memoirs, for 1757, from two poles not diametrically opposite, by the learned Mr. Leonard Euler, in a mathematical and masterly manner. The observations of variations at sea, owing to the iron work in the ship and arms on board, are liable to great uncertainty, so that differences have been found of six degrees in the English channel.
net, and severe cold in northern regions seems occasionally to render it torpid, though it recovers itself again. On all these accounts, and some others no less important, the variation of the compass cannot be considered as a general method of finding out the longitude at sea, and scarce of any use that way, now we have so much better methods of attaining the end.
Mr. Churchman's supposition of a gradual change of the magnetic poles, without offering any probable physical hypothesis to account for it, must be considered as a mere hypothesis. You, Sir, who are so well able to judge of philosophical matters, and physical causes, will, I have little doubt, join in opinion with the late Dr. Halley, as I do, that the gradual change of the magnetic poles cannot be probably accounted for from any gradual changes of the quantity, metallic state, or magnetism, or translation of the iron, or iron ore in the bowels of the earth, or diffused through the surface of the earth. Dr. Halley's hypothesis of four poles, two belonging to an outer shell, and two to an inner nucleus, moveable about the axis with less velocity of rotation than the outer shell, is very ingenious, and well calculated to get over this difficulty. Observations both of the variation and dip of the needle, made throughout your continent, would be of use to throw light on this matter.
Mr. Churchman might have been well satisfied with the judgments of such able men and good philosophers as Mr. Ewing and Mr. Rittenhouse. Mr. Dillwyn sent me another of his proposals, with the disputes between him and the principal mathematicians with you, for the Royal Society, which I forwarded there. I hope you receive, I mean your Philosophical Society, my Greenwich observations, now published up to the end of 1786, and published annually. They are ordered you by the Council. I shall be gratified by the continuance of the present of your memoirs, if thought proper, and am sensible of the honor of being a member. Your future correspondence will do honor to Sir,
And old friend, N. MASKELYNE.
Mr. Laurens has now (7th July, 1788) growing at Mepkin plantation, South-Carolina, upwards of 1600 plants of the Huntingdon Root , all in a flourishing condition. The seeds were put in the ground from the 16th to the 24th of April last; many of the roots are now from 14 to 17 inches in circumference, and appear as if they would weigh at least 6 or 7 lb. He has already gathered of the leaves more than sixty bushels closely packed, and the second growth of leaves is fit to pluck; he expects to have many more gatherings before October. The leaf boiled is to the taste a high flavored spinach. Cows, calves, deer, and sheep, eat them with great eagerness and fatten.
The suckers gathered from the roots have been boiled and eaten with great satisfaction. The roots, it is probable, will be still better.
This root was formerly called Mangel Wurzel and Root of Scarcity . Every prudent planter will endeavor to import and plant next year some of the seed.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Friendship , Burnham, in 13 days from Savannah; and
Sloop Liberty , Williams, in 9 days from Bermuda.
From the Connecticut Gazette. MR. GREEN, WHEN any extraordinary event of divine providence occurs, the curiosity of the public is excited, and it is proper that it should be gratified: such we think to be the event which took place in this town on Wednesday the 2d inst. in the terrible storm of rain and hail which fell here, attended with wind and thunder. And that our information might be as authentic and particular as possible, we have delayed giving you the account until this day, and from our own observation of, and examination into the facts, as also the testimony of many gentlemen of our acquaintance, men of truth and veracity, who had the clearest means of knowledge, we have collected the following particulars, viz. That an unusual appearance of wild flying clouds almost round the horizon, was observed by many people in Canterbury in the afternoon of said day, especially in the north-east, south-east and south-west, threatening a storm from each of those points; but the sable curtain that wrapt up, and contained the treasures of the hail and of the rain, reserved against the time of trouble, was in the south-east. The defoliated effects of the tempest were suspended in part till the cloud had arisen over the road that leads from Norwich to Pomfret, about a mile south of the meeting-house; then the sluices were opened, and the rain came down, not by drops, but in copious streams, extending in width about two miles, and in length four or five miles; till resisted and drove back by a westerly wind. The storm continued with very little abatement an hour and half, and many judged that the water which fell in that time, was sufficient to have covered the earth nearly two feet in depth; but the quantity of hail which fell at the same time exceeds description, and perhaps belief. There were banks of hail in some lots the next day after the storm (measured by sundry people) that were two feet and ten inches deep, and though entirely exposed to the sun, were not wholly melted and wasted away for eight or ten succeeding days. Many hail-stones were judged to be about an inch in diameter, and in general as large as ounce balls. The wind was so violent, and drove the hail with such impetuosity, that it made almost clean riddance of the corn, flax, barley, grain and grass in every man's field over which the centre of the storm was directed, and all within the limits suffered more or less.
The distress of many families during the storm, is almost inconceivable, fearing their houses would instantly rend to pieces, and themselves be buried in the ruins. Some meditated a retreat from their houses, but death and danger threatening without as well as within doors, kept us all close. We have reason to bless God that there has no lives been lost, nor any building demolished, that we have heard of, excepting the floating away of a saw-mill which might be said to stand in a dry time over a dry brook. Many houses have been much damaged, especially in that useful and necessary ornament window glass; some having lost 70 panes, others 50, 40, 30, and 10 down to 4 or 5 panes of glass. Among the many sufferers, the following persons have shared as largely in the distress as any, viz. Daniel Frost, Esq. Deac. John Herrick, Henry Frost, James Adams, John B. Adams, John Herrick, 3d. Sherubiah Butt, Esq. John Butt, Gideon Butt, Nathaniel Butt, Joseph Adams, and Ebenezer Butt. Those persons, and many more, have had almost their whole dependence as to fruits of the earth cut off, and many others much damaged; so that the scene is truly melancholy and distressing, and a stranger with a sympathizing heart, would drop a tear were he passing by, to see (in the midst of summer) orchards stripped of their fruits and leaves; in large mowing fields the grass destroyed, cut to pieces, and washed against the walls and fences; gardens luxuriant in the growth of vegetables, flowers, &c. buried in rubbish and the fitted fragments of their own produce; and it may be noticed, the roar and rattling of the thunder, was remarkable during the whole storm, and the wind veering round in every direction, that the glass windows on three sides of the houses were broken, though mostly on the south. Thus hath a holy God manifested his righteous displeasure against our iniquities—may we be justly humbled, and return unto the Lord from whom we have revolted.
We the subscribers (with many others) desire the above may be published. ELIAH ADAMS. GIDEON WELLS. Canterbury, July 12, 1788.
We have been requested to publish the following from the Pennsylvania Gazette , of the 23d ult. To the INHABITANTS of the Western Counties of Pennsylvania. [Concluded from Teheny's Paper .]
FRIENDS and COUNTRYMEN, THE federal connection, established on these liberal principles, will lead to a sort of federal union among the various churches which it has pleased God to raise up in the world. Here, none can be particularly favored, none can be particularly oppressed, none can be interfered with—all are equal—all independent of each other. They will not render to each other nor to the government, tithes, nor tents, nor free gifts, (as they have been preposterously termed) nor any species of taxes, as religious men or societies. Nothing will be expected, nothing will be required, but peace and good will, and brotherly loving kindness. This excellent quality of the new government, will warm and expand our bosoms whenever we reflect upon it. The liberality and virtue of America, in establishing perfect equality and freedom among all religious denominations and societies, will no doubt produce to us a great reward, for when the news of it shall reach the oppressed dissenters from the established churches of Britain, Ireland, Holland, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, and they shall find that it encourages both protestants and catholics, they will at once cry out, America is the land of promise . There alone can the sincere votaries of religion, enjoy their lives, their civil and religious rights and property, without suffering from their attachment to that church in which they have been born and bred , and which they believe to be right and true . Ye Sovereigns of the European world, continue your religious oppression at your peril. So sure as you perish, thousands of your precept subjects, transplanted to the fertile fields, the healthful villages and populous cities, of America, shall remind you of your impiety and error, when it shall be too late for you to retrieve the loss.
It has been said, the public defaulters will be excused from paying the public debts they owe.—It is not necessary at this time to enter into any enquiry, who are public defaulters. That will lie with those persons to whose charge it is committed by the laws. All monies had, and received by any citizen of the United States must be accounted for, or if not duly accounted for, the person who received the same will be liable to an action at law, and if he has it, must pay the same; if he has it not, his body will be subjected to imprisonment, as in other cases. The United States have been declared a bodily corporate , by acts of the state assemblies. Those acts remain in force, and were the states to separate, and become thirteen unconnected sovereignties, (unallied and unconfederated) they would still be a bodily corporate , and that bodily corporate could sue any public defaulter, in the courts of any state, wherein his person or his property could be found.
The militia have been alarmed with assertions, that they could be sent, not only from Georgia to New-Hampshire, but even to France. The jurisdiction of the federal legislature, does not extend beyond the territories of the United States. Congress therefore could have no more authority over the militia on the high seas, or in France, than they could have over the militia of Ireland, or the regular troops of the Empress of Russia.—These things cannot be believed by the people who invent and propagate them. They can only have in view to deceive you into acts of violence and disorder. It is a blow wickedly aimed at your peace, and their wishes must be, to make you the miserable instruments of destroying your own happiness. It is said, our militia may be marched to New-Hampshire or North-Carolina, under the powers of the new constitution. To this we may answer, that by the laws and constitution of this state, the militia of Washington, may be ordered by council to Philadelphia, or those of Philadelphia to Washington. The distance between them is the same as between New-Hampshire and Philadelphia, or between Philadelphia and North-Carolina, but the march from Washington to this city would be much worse, through great tracts of unsettled country, and bad roads, over the Laurel-Hill, the Alleghany Mountain, &c. Though this power is possessed by our Assembly, who ever feared the use of it. The truth is, the legislature of Pennsylvania must necessarily have authority over the militia, in every part of their jurisdiction, and so of the federal legislature; but a moment's reflection will show you, that the federal government can never be so foolish as to order the people from one extreme of the union to the other, nor could they expect, that the militia, with arms in their hands, and officers appointed by their own state governments, would ever obey. It is preposterous and criminal, to endeavor to alarm and ensnare you with such things. In the same way, they have attempted to make you uneasy about a poll tax. They ought rather honestly to have informed you, that an impost of five per cent. upon all foreign merchandise, and more upon some, will take off a great part of the land tax, which you have been used to pay, and they should observe to you, that as you wear and use a great deal of home made articles of dress, food and drink, which the citizens cannot obtain, and the monied men do not use, the citizens and the monied men, will pay a very large proportion of the public revenues, to the great relief of the landholder, and the industrious poor. This will hereafter be the best poor man's country upon earth, and a most happy one at the same time for the rich, if they have sense and virtue with all; and if they have not sense and virtue, they must endeavor to get them, or they will not be half so happy as their poorer fellow citizens.
It has been asserted, that the new constitution when ratified, would be fixed and permanent, and that no alterations or amendments, should those proposed, appear on consideration ever to be obtained. A candid consideration of the constitution, will shew this to be a groundless remark. It is provided in the clearest words, that Congress shall be obliged to call a convention, on the application of two thirds of the legislatures—and all amendments proposed by such convention, are to be valid , when approved by the conventions or legislatures of three fourths of the states. It must therefore be evident to every candid man, that two thirds of the states can always procure a general convention, for the purpose of amending the constitution, and that three fourths of them can introduce those amendments into the constitution, although the President, Senate, and Federal House of Representatives, should be unanimously opposed to each and all of them.—Congress, therefore cannot hold any power , which three fourths of the states, shall not approve, on experience.
There is one grand operation of the new federal constitution, favorable to general liberty, which I do not remember to have heard from any of its friends. It is well known, that in most of the states the members of their Houses of Representa-
tives are chosen in equal numbers from each county, and in the eastern state, in equal numbers from each town, without any regard to the number of taxable inhabitants, or the number of souls. Hence it is very frequent for a county, with ten thousand souls, to send only the same number of members to the State house of representatives, as a county with two thousand souls, by which each person in the least populous county has five times as great a voice in electing representatives, as his fellow citizen of the most populous county. This is clearly a departure from the principles of equal liberty , and ought to be altered in the several states. I speak the more plainly because our state constitution is free from that fault in the formation of our house of Assembly. Now the new constitutional expressly declares, that the Federal Representatives shall be in the proportion of one to every thirty thousand, which accords with reason and the true principles of liberty. This house, therefore, so far as national matters go, will remedy the evil spoken of in the several states, and is one more great step towards the perfection of equal liberty and genuine republicanism in America. It must strongly recommend the federal constitution to the serious reflecting patriot, even though he may formerly have had doubts, and it will suggest to the several states the propriety of reconsidering that point in their respective constitutions. Pennsylvania, though right in the principles on which her legislative elections are and will be held, is less safe from the existence of this fault in the adjoining sister states of Virginia, Maryland, Jersey, Delaware and New-York.
There is now so universal a spirit of conciliation, acquiescence and mutual concession prevailing through the states, that the prospect before us is the most comfortable. The majority of Massachusetts were lately called upon to elect Mr. Gerry their Governor, because of his being of their former sentiments on the new plan of government, but they gave much the greater part of their votes to Mr. Hancock, who voted for the plan, believing, on better considering the constitution, that he was right. Governor Randolph, of Virginia, tho' at first an opposer of the constitution, proved one of its most useful friends in the Virginia convention, and finally voted for its adoption.—The leading members of the minorities of South Carolina, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New-Hampshire, have said they would promote the execution of it, and its cheerful acceptance by the people. The clearest symptoms of acquiescence and good will have also appeared among the gentlemen in Pennsylvania, who originally opposed the new constitution. May God grant that this reign of reason, moderation and brotherly affection , may daily increase among the good people of this flourishing commonwealth. A friend of Society and Liberty.

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, (dis- tinguished by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join unreserved assistance to the plan 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 Sweeps, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the word, 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 such Sweep'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 Sweeps shall be required 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 Sweeps 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.
