Further Extracts from the English papers we were lately favored with.
V I E N N A, July 28.
On the 23rd and 24th at night, a numerous train of artillery began marching for the Low Countries, under convoy of 500 men drawn from the corps of Cannoneers. The part of our garrison destined for the same place has likewise received fresh orders to march on the 3rd of next month.
B E R L I N, August 4.
The English couriers which arrived here within these few days contain dispatches, it is said, respecting the marriage of the Duke of York with the Princess Frederica. The Prince has ordered a service of porcelain to be made which will cost 10,000 crowns.
L O N D O N, Aug. 21.
The dispatches sent off yesterday to Paris, contain Mr. Eden's full powers as Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Catholic King, for whose Court he is to set off speedily.
On the 15th of this month the Parliament of Paris were by his Majesty banished to Troyes. The officers appointed to execute the King's orders received their instructions in the night, and with several parties of the French guards went early in the morning to the House of each Member, to signify to him his Majesty's commands, which were, that he should immediately get into his carriage, and depart for Troyes, without writing, or even speaking to any body out of his own house. By this sudden and secret manner of acting, the whole business was executed without any alarm to the people.
His Majesty, to soften the rigor of this act to his people, has made a display of many economical retrenchments in his household. Five of his palaces—Choisy, la Muette, Madrid, Vincennes, and Blois, are to be sold by public Vendue, or demolished. Besides this, all the houses belonging to his Majesty at Paris, except the Louvre and the Thuilleries, are to be disposed of. The Queen has made a retrenchment of nine hundred thousand livres annually.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, Aug. 5.
The French Commodore remains here with the Squadron; the two largest ships are taking in wines, and from hence they go, as related, to the Coast of Africa and the East-Indies. Most of the smaller ships, are to return home, being only come out to exercise the ships or men, or probably to cover their true destination.
Aug. 26.
The day on which the Notables met, will form an era in the Liberties of France, which future historians may look to with astonishment. On that day, the Monarchy of the country had its deepest wound: for then Government had recourse to the People for Power—the People, feeling it was, in their hands, will keep what was given them, and use it—in spite of opposition. And what the Notables began, the Parliaments will finish.
Extract of a letter from Dunkirk, Aug. 21.
A circumstance has just occurred, too interesting to escape notice. The troops that were coming to the frontiers of French Flanders are stopped in their present position. The Foragers are ordered to suspend their operations, and all is at a stand. This is said to be owing to some representations of the Emperor's Ambassador at Paris.
Aug. 27.
Advices have been received from Sir James Harris, by the Marquis of Carmarthen, one of his Majesty's Secretaries of State, containing information, that the Emperor has signified his intention to the British Ambassador at the Hague, that he (the Emperor) will not interfere in the present disputes respecting the parties in Holland, so long as France preserves a Neutrality; and that the Emperor has also declared, that although he should not direct his troops to be active for the present, yet he would not suffer any other powers than those of England and Prussia to take any part in the present commotion, and that his determination was to support the Stadtholder, if it should appear necessary.
A few days ago her Majesty received a very extraordinary letter, mentioning a very warm passion which the writer had conceived for her eldest daughter; and hoping, if their Majesties approved of the idea of marrying her—he and the Princess Royal would be a very happy couple!
After this, the man appeared at St. James's and begged leave to be introduced in form—as, from not having an answer, he conceived his proposal was acceded to. Silence gave consent! This was not then much attended to by the people to whom he spoke.
On Thursday evening, he went down to Kew, where, after proper inquiry—it appeared the man, as might be expected, was a lunatic—but really much in love.
His name is Stone. He was ordered into proper custody; and it is presumed will in a short time join the conversation of Margaret Nicholson.
THE INTERESTS of this STATE.
IT is the interest of the Merchants to encourage the New Constitution, because Commerce may then be a national object, and nations will form treaties with us.
It is the interest of the Mechanic to join the mercantile interest; because it is not their interest to quarrel with their bread and butter.
It is the interest of the Farmer, because the prosperity of Commerce gives vent to his produce, raises the value of his lands, and commercial duties will alleviate the burden of his taxes.
It is the interest of the Landholder, because thousands in Europe, with moderate fortunes, will migrate to this country, if an efficient Government gives them a prospect of tranquillity.
It is the interest of all Gentlemen and Men of Property, because they will see many low Demagogues reduced to their tools, whose upstart dominion insults their feelings, and whose passion for popularity will dictate laws*, which ruin the minority of the Creditors, and please the majority of Debtors.
It is the interest of all Public Creditors, because they will see the credit of the States rise, and their Securities appreciate.
It is the interest of the American Soldier, as the military profession will then be respectable, and the Floridas may be conquered in a campaign. The spoils of the West-Indies and South-America may enrich the next generation of Cincinnatis.
It is the interest of the Lawyers who have ability and genius, because the dignities in the Supreme Court will interest professional ambition, and create emulation which is not felt now. The dignities of the State Court, a Notary or the prosecutor of a bond will not aspire to, which has cheapened their value. Men also have enjoyed them without professional knowledge, and who are only versed in the abstract and learned science of the plough.
It is the interest of the Clergy, as civil tumults excite every bad passion—the soul is neglected, and the Clergy starve.
It is the interest of all men, whose education has been liberal and extensive; because there will be a theatre for the display of talents, which have no influence in State Assemblies, where eloquence is treated with contempt, and reason overpowered by a silent vote.
It is not the interest of those who enjoy State consequence, which would be lost in the Assemblies of the States. These insects and worms are only seen on their own dung-hill. There are minds whose narrow vision can look over the concerns of a State or Town, but cannot extend their short vision to Continental concerns. Manners are essential in such a Government, and where the Union is represented, care should be taken to impress the other States with respectable opinions, and if this becomes a principle they must remain at home, and not presume to these national dignities.

From the New-York Journal.
To the CITIZENS of the STATE of NEW-YORK.
Remember, O my friends! the laws, the rights, The generous plan of power deliver'd down, By your renown'd Forefathers; So dearly bought, the price of so much blood! O let it never perish in your hands! But piously transmit it to your children."
THE object of my last address to you was to engage your dispassionate consideration of the new Federal Government; to caution you against precipitancy in the adoption of it; to recommend a correction of its errors, if it contained any; to hint to you the danger of an easy perversion of some of its powers; to solicit you to separate yourselves from party, and to be independent of and uninfluenced by any in your principles of politics: and, that address was closed with a promise of future observations on the same subject which should be justified by reason and truth. Here I intended to have rested the introduction, but a writer under the signature of CESAR, in Mr. Childs's paper of the 1st instant, who treats you with passion, insult, and threat has anticipated those observations which would otherwise have remained in silence until a future period. It would be criminal in me to hesitate a moment to appear as your advocate in so interesting a cause, and to resist the influence of such doctrines as this Cæsar holds. I shall take no other cognizance of his remarks on the questionable shape of my future, or the equivocal appearance of my past reflections, than to declare, that in my past I did not mean to be misunderstood (for Cæsar himself declares, that it is obviously the language of distrust) and that in my future there will not be a semblance of doubt. But, what is the language of Cæsar—he ridicules your prerogative, power, and Majesty—he talks of this proffered Constitution as the tender mercy of a benevolent Sovereign to deluded subjects, or, as his tyrant name-sake, of his proffered grace to the virtuous Cato:—he
shuts the door of free deliberation and discussion, and declares, that you must receive this Government in manner and form as it is proffered—that you cannot revise nor amend it, and lastly, to close the scene, he insinuates, that it will be more healthy for you that the American Fabius should be induced to accept of the presidency of this new Government than that, in case you do not acquiesce, he should be solicited to command an army to impose it on you. Is not your indignation roused at this absolute, imperious stile?—For what did you open the veins of your citizens and expend their creature?—For what did you throw off the yoke of Britain and call yourselves independent?—Was it from a disposition fond of change, or to procure new masters?—If those were your motives, you have your reward before you—go,—retire into silent obscurity, and kiss the rod that scourges you.
Bury the prospects you had in store, that you and your posterity would participate in the blessings of freedom, and the employments of your country; let the rich and insolent alone be your rulers; perhaps you are designed by providence as an emphatic evidence of the mutability of human affairs, to have the shew of happiness only, that your misery may seem the sharper, and if so, you must submit. But, if you had nobler views, and you are not deligned by heaven as an example—are you now to be derided and insulted?—Is the power of thinking, on the only subject important to you, to be taken away? and if perchance you should happen to dissent from Cæsar, are you to have Cæsar's principles crammed down your throats with an army?—God forbid!
In Democratic Republics, the People, collectively, are considered as the Sovereign; all Legislative, Judicial, and Executive powers inherent in and derived from them. As a people, your power and authority have sanctioned and established the present Government; your Executive, Legislative, and Judicial acknowledge it by their public acts; you are again solicited to sanction and establish the future one: yet this Cæsar mocks your dignity, and laughs at the Majesty of the People. Cæsar, with his usual dogmatism, enquires—If I had talents to throw light on the subject of legislation, why did not offer them when the Convention was in session? He is answered in a moment—I thought with him, and you, that the wisdom of America in that Convention, was drawn, as it were, to a focus. I placed an unbounded confidence in some of the characters who were members of it, from the services they had rendered their country, without advertting to the ambitious and interested views of others. I was willingly led to expect a model of perfection and security that would have astonished the world. Therefore, to have offered observation, on the subject of legislation, under these impressions, would have discovered no less arrogance than Cæsar. The Convention too, when in session, shut their doors to the observations of the community, and their Members were under an obligation of secrecy: nothing transpired: to have suggested remarks on unknown and anticipated principles, would have been like a man groping in the dark, and folly in the extreme. I confess, however, I have been disappointed; and Cæsar is candid enough to make the same declaration, for he thinks it might have been more perfect.
But to call in dispute, at this time, and in the manner Cæsar does, the right of free deliberation on this subject, is like a man's propounding a question to another, and telling him, at the same time, that if he does not answer agreeable to the opinion of the propounder, he will exert force to make him of the same sentiment:—to exemplify this, it will be necessary to give you a short history of the rise and progress of the Convention, and the conduct of Congress thereon. The states in Congress suggested that the Articles of Confederation had provided for making alterations in the Confederation—that there were defects therein, and as a mean to remedy which, a Convention of Delegates, appointed by the different states, was resolved expedient to be held for the sole and express purpose of revising it, and reporting to Congress and the different Legislatures such alterations and provisions therein as should (when agreed to in Congress and confirmed by the several states) render the Federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of Government. This resolution is sent to the different states, and the Legislature of this state, with others, appoint, in conformity thereto, Delegates for the purpose, and in the words mentioned in that resolve, as by the resolution of Congress, and the concurrent resolutions of the Senate and Assembly of this state, subjoined, will appear. For the sole and express purpose aforesaid a Convention of Delegates is formed at Philadelphia:—what have they done? have they revised the Confederation, and has Congress agreed to their report?—neither is the fact.—This Convention have exceeded the authority given to them, and have transmitted to Congress a new political fabric, essentially and fundamentally distinct and different from it, in which the different
states do not retain separately their sovereignty and independency, united by a confederated league—but one entire Sovereignty—a consolidation of them into one government—in which new provisions and powers are not made and vested in Congress, but in an Assembly, Senate, and President, who are not known in the Articles of Confederation. Congress, without agreeing to, or approving of, this system proffered by the Convention, have sent it to the different Legislatures, not for their confirmation, but to submit it to the people; not in conformity to their own resolution, but in conformity to the resolution of the Convention, made and provided in that case. Was it then, from the face of the foregoing facts, the intention of Congress, and of this and the other States, that the essence of our present national Government should be annihilated, or that it should be retained and only had an increase of substantial necessary power? Congress, sensible of this latter principle, and that the Convention had taken on themselves a power, which neither they nor the other States had a right to delegate to them, and that they could not agree to and approve of this consolidated system, nor the States confirm it, have been silent on its character; and though many have dwelt on their unanimity, it is no less than the unanimity of opinion that it originated in an assumption of power, which your voice alone can sanction. This new government, therefore, founded in usurpation, is referred to your opinion as the origin of power not heretofore delegated, and, to this end, the exercise of the prerogative of free examination is essentially necessary; and yet you are unhesitatingly to acquiesce, and if you do not, the American Fabius, if we may believe Cæsar, is to command an army to impose it. It is not my view to rouse your passions, I only wish to excite you to, and assist you in, a cool and deliberate discussion of the subject, to urge you to behave like sensible freemen. Think, speak, act, and assert your opinions and rights—let the same good sense govern you with respect to the adoption of a future system for the administration of your public affairs that influenced you in the formation of the present. Hereafter I do not intend to be diverted by either Cæsar, or any other—My object is to take up this new form of national Government—compare it with the experience and the opinions of the most sensible and approved political authors—and to shew, that its principles, and the exercise of them, will be dangerous to your liberty and happiness.
C A T O.
In Congress, Feb. 21, 1787.
Resolved, That in the opinion of Congress it is expedient that on the second Monday in May next, a Convention of Delegates, who shall have been appointed by the several States, be held at Philadelphia, for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation, and reporting to Congress, and the several Legislatures, such alterations and provisions therein, as shall, when agreed to in Congress, and confirmed by the States, render the Federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of Government, and the preservation of the Union.

New-York AIR FURNACE.
PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufacture of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the wire is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first fracturing of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchase, to give its preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye pans, skil- lets, griddles, porash kettles and coolers, whaling kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cakes, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for fil- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath stove-gates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabosles or the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bake the bread; mill-roads and gudgeon, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearl-ashes, cast iron screws or suline; and paper-mills, rollers plates cast as any size that may be wanted, sash-weights, forges, hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15.
