An O D E, On the Adoption of the Federal Constitution. Composed by Dr. Smith.—Tune, the Dauphin.
I. CROWN'D with auspicious light, COLUMBIA'S Eagle rises; Thine emblems bless our sight, Thine honors greet our eyes! Nations admire thy rising dawn, and shall salute thy day, While generations yet unborn, receive the genial ray. CHORUS. An Empire's born!—Let cannon roar! Bid echoing the sky: Let ev'ry heart adore, High Heav'n, our GREAT ALLY!
II. ILLUSTRIOUS ERA, hail! Thy stars in Union grow; Opposing mists dispel And with fresh splendor glow. Thy glories burst upon the gloom, where darkness drag'd her chain; The sons of cruelty and death, shall own thy gentle reign. CHORUS. An Empire's born, &c.
III. Let joy our hearts engage; Let foul contention cease; Exchange for jealous rage, Th' enrapturing smile of peace. No genius human e'er devised a FEDERAL PLAN more pure; Wisdom and strength and freedom guard Columbia's rights secure. CHORUS. An Empire's born, &c.
IV. Now fame exerts your powers, Your silver trumpet raise: Still WASHINGTON is ours, Thro' earth proclaim his praise! He once in crimson fields of blood, forbade us to be slaves; And now with an illustrious band, again his country saves. CHORUS. An Empire's born, &c.
V. Discord aghast shall frown; Science her temple fear: Labour ensue her crown; And useful arts appear. Then bend your 'spear to pruning hooks'; break up the gen'rous soil; While fruits of plenty round the land, reward the reapers toil. CHORUS. An Empire's born, &c.
VI. COMMERCE your fail display; While AGRICULTURE rings, Where late the bramble day, The rose of beauty springs. Union shall glad revolving years; no partial views remain: Justice aloft advance her scale, and public virtue reign! CHORUS. An Empire's born, &c.
VOLTAIRE ON HIS DEATH BED. (From Menke's Translation of the Life of Voltaire; a book evidently compiled from authentic papers.) VOLTAIRE, though very much indisposed, received the actors and actresses who were to represent the tragedy of Irene.—At one of the rehearsals of it, Voltaire breaks a blood-vessel in his breast. The spitting of blood which immediately followed, made people apprehensive for his life. Upon the report of this event, the young Abbe de Tersac, Curate of St. Sulpice, hastens to catechize the old philosopher. He is not admitted to see him. The next day he calls again, and orders had been given to let him in.—
'Nevertheless, the great forwardness of the Curate shewed that his excessive zeal might be troublesome, and it was to be forehanded with him, that Voltaire received an Abbe Gautier, who comes and offers himself to hear his confession. This Monsieur Gautier began his office by kneeling to the philosopher; it was a homage that he paid to the great man: Voltaire politely raises him up again, and proposes to make a public confession, as had been practised in the early ages of the church. The Abbe Gautier refuses to hear this public confession, under pretence that it would bring him into trouble: he even requires a previous declaration of his sentiments; and when the philosopher had made that declaration, which was the profession of faith of a true Roman Catholic, the Abbe Gautier still wished to confer on the matter with the Archbishop.'
The philosopher consented to this step; his declaration was found insufficient: the Archbishop required one to be drawn up by a notary; a model of which he gave, and which began thus: "I confess I have maliciously blasphemed the divinity of Jesus Christ." On reading this preamble, Voltaire starts back with horror, and dismisses the Abbe Gautier, saying "That's enough for to-day; let us have no bloody scene." These words were an allusion to his spitting of blood.
Every thing passed in private between the philosopher and the Abbe Gautier; yet Voltaire was not sorry that the public thought he had confessed himself. He even replied to those who spoke to him on this subject, "If I were upon the banks of the Ganges, I must of course die with a cow's tail in my hands."
He was already at the point of death, when he is told that the Count de Lally Tolendal has obtained the repeal of the arrest by which General Lally, his father, lost his life on the scaffold. This news revives him for a moment from his lethargy, and he answers Monsr. de Tolendal by a note, "of which this is the substance: "I see that the King is just; O! I die contented." This note is the last he dictated.
Drowsiness hung upon him without any intermission: he no longer spoke, and seemed to hear nothing. The Curate of St. Sulpice, and the Abbe Gautier, his supposed confessor, being both informed of his dangerous situation, were admitted to see him, in the presence of his niece, his nephews, and his friends.
The curate approaches his bed-side, and asks him if he believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ? The philosopher did not hear him, or if he did hear him, did not deign to make any reply. The Curate takes advantage of this silence, to justify himself to his relations and friends, then present, for asking such a question: "As," says he, "the divinity of Jesus Christ is violently attacked in those works which are attributed to him, I think it my duty to satisfy myself on this point of belief."
They then tell him that the Curate is come: the dying man holds out his hand to him, takes hold of the Curate's, and half arises himself up to embrace him. Did not this gesture, this attitude, this caress, and every thing else, seem to say, "Don't teaze me, Sir, but let me die in peace?" But the Curate asks him again, and in a hammering voice, "Sir, do you acknowledge the divinity of Jesus Christ?" Upon this the expiring philosopher, opening his hand, and stretching out his arms, as if to push away the Pastor, exclaims in a strong
"not mention that man's name to me." These were Voltaire's last words: I had them from the very persons who were present: they evidently contain the profession of faith of a downright Deist, who confines his belief to one God alone. The Curate of St. Sulpice, undoubtedly terrified at the philosopher's answer, withdraws, and goes to inform the clergy of his district that Voltaire is dying as he has lived; that he will not bury him; and that if he is compelled to do it by superior authority, he will have him dug up in the night. This speech is very improbable, but it is very true.—I must also say, that most of the clergy of Paris blamed the Curate, who had as little experience as a young priest, and as much zeal as a pupil of a sanctuary.
The Curate of St. Roche, a wise and virtuous man, who is grown grey in the holy office, and has been an honor to it in all the stages of a long life, said, in speaking of Voltaire's death, that "they should not have insisted upon his confession, but should have invented one for him, for the credit of the clergy." This speech, which only seems to be humorous, comprehends a great fund of reason, if it be considered that the Curates of Paris, without the smallest scruple, daily intermeddle with the lives of those who have never possessed any one of Voltaire's virtues, and who have only been known in the world by the noise, either of their depredations on the public, or of their debaucheries.
The men of letters wished that, upon the refusal of the Curate of St. Sulpice, they had buried Voltaire in a cellar; or that, according to the rites of the ancients, that they had burnt him, and preserved his ashes. This would be a sure means, said they, of teaching the Bishops that it is of little moment to a philosopher after his death, whether he rots in a hole in a church, or in a ditch dug in an open field. In fact, were the men of letters to introduce the custom of requiring by their will, to be neither buried in a church, nor in a church-yard, the clergy would be little tempted to make their refusals, which now-a-days seem to be a matter of indifference, but which not long since were attended with a degree of infamy. Nothing corrects men so much of their folly, as showing them you can do without them.
* After some little controversy between the men of letters and the clergy, Voltaire's body was deposited in the cemetery of the monastery of St. Sulpice.
BOSTON, July 17. Yesterday morning being the Anniversary of Commencement at the University in Cambridge, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, his Excellency the Governor, his honor the Lieutenant Governor, several Members of the Honorable Council and Senate, the Hon. JOHN ADAMS, Esq. late Ambassador from the United States to the Court of Great Britain, and a number of other gentlemen of distinction, arrived at Harvard-Hall, having been accompanied on their tour from Boston, by the Deputy-Sheriff of the county of Suffolk, (the High Sheriff by indisposition being unable to attend) and the Independent company of Horse-Guards, under Lieutenant GRBS. They were received by the Fellows of the Corporation, Professors and Tutors, and conducted to the Philosophy-Room, where the board of overseers met.—The business necessary to be done previous to the solemnities of the day, was here transacted; and about 11 o'clock they went in the usual procession to the meeting-house.
The degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS, was conferred on the following young gentlemen, viz. Benjamin Abbot, Solomon Adams, Thomas Adams, Thomas Bancroft, Oliver Barron, Stephen Baxter, Joseph Brigham, Joseph Cabot, George Cary, Edward Clarke, Oliver Dodge, James Gardner, Adam Gordon, William Hill, Charles Jackson, Jacob Kimball, Abner Lincoln, Henry Phelps, John Phillips, James Prescott, Daniel Clarke Sanders, William Sawyer, Amos Tappan, John Dexter Treadwell, Charles Turner, Nathan Underwood, Samuel West, Robert Wier.

NEW-LONDON, July 11. In our last was published an account of a number of people being drowned near Fisher's-Island—we since learn that the whole number drowned was ten; whose bodies were all found and buried—that of Capt. Chapman's was found on Thursday, in only eight feet water, the same day brought to town, and on Friday interred.
Four of the people who were in the water, and whose strength was nearly exhausted, were saved by the extraordinary exertions of one of their countrymen from the shore.—Moved by their distressed situation, he swam to them four different times, and each time brought one on shore—but on landing the fourth his strength was so far exhausted that he swooned.
At the publication of this paper, the public rejoicing of this city on the accession of ten States to the New Constitution, hath just commenced—Guns firing, Bells ringing, &c. &c. particulars we have not time to announce to the public.
On Monday the 11th. inst. Daniel Stanton, of Windsor, in the State of Vermont, late of Stonington, in this State, David Stanton, his brother, of said Stonington, and Josiah Gates, Jun. of Colchester, in this county, were all taken into custody in Groton, and the next day committed to goal in this city for horse-stealing. It is supposed they belong to a large clan who follow the business of horse-stealing in different parts of the country. A quantity of counterfeit New-York bills, and 9d pieces of silver were found on them.

NEW-YORK, July 24.
The Committee of Arrangements return their warmest acknowledgments to the several Branches of Mechanics for their punctual attendance on the parade, their regularity in the march, and their strict decorum on the dismissal from the Procession.
They request the Farmers to accept of their thanks for the readiness with which they joined the citizens on an occasion equally interesting to the landed and commercial interest.
The Committee would be insensible of the zeal and merit of Major L'Enfant, were they to omit expressing the obligation which they are under to him for the elegance of the design and the excellence of the execution of the pavillion and tables—to Colonel Stevens, who condescended to act as quarter-master on the occasion, the success of the movements of the several machines is in a great measure due; the Committee therefore beg leave to express the high sense they entertain of the great assistance they have derived from his industry and professional knowledge.
A particular account of the Procession will be published as soon as such materials can be collected from the different branches as will enable the Committee to do justice to the ingenuity and taste displayed on this occasion, RICHARD PLATT, Chairman.
By the last night's mail we received letters from Poughkeepsie, dated on Tuesday afternoon—one of which says, "I think by to-morrow the House must come to something decisive—it is impossible to tell what that final decision will be: I cannot even conjecture with plausibility."
A letter from an Irish Gentleman in the Prussian service, of a late date, mentions, that at a place called Motiers, in the principality of Neufchattel, a territory belonging to his Majesty on the confines of Switzerland, a prodigious mass of snow, which had been loosened by the thaw, rolled from a mountain, under which that town is situated, and buried several houses, with their inhabitants, in the ruin. The soldiers of the garrison worked hard to save as many lives as possible, and after digging some time, were so unfortunate as to deliver thirty-seven persons, whose limbs were so chilled with extreme cold, that they shewed no signs of life, till chafed with brandy, spirits of wine, &c. when they began to recover; amongst those unfortunate people were Mr. Dedel, a Roman Catholic Priest; Mr. Zimmerman, a Calvinistic Minister; and a Dutch Lady, his sister, who had been on a visit; they were found near each other, having spent the evening together as friends and neighbours. It appears, however, that eleven persons were either immediately killed, or so injured by cold as to be dug out without hopes of recovery.
Recent Bon Mot of a Gentleman.—A certain frail fair of distinction, having made a matrimonial union much to her advantage, in conversation on the subject of her good fortune, declared she had discovered to her husband all her former foibles with as much sincerity as a real penitent before a father professor. "All your foibles," said the gentleman; "yes, on my honor," replied the lady; "indeed Madam," rejoined the wit, "I admire your candor very much, but your memory still more."

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends 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 satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unreservedly to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to be for the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) 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 office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The underwriting 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 Sweepers 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. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATHRSON.
