***** **STAGE AND FOUR HORSES.** *****
STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark, and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia,
RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles-Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia, proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison's, George Inn, Philadelphia, at three o'clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles-Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Powles-Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of baggage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is performed in half the time.
Letters, Newspapers, &c. left at the New-York, Albany, and Philadelphia stage office, kept by Christopher Beckman, in Courtlandt-street, New-York, and with Mr. Michael Dennison, at the George Inn, corner of Arch and Second-street, Philadelphia, will be safely conveyed gratis.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line.

MISCELLANY.
OBSERVATIONS.
Breach of Confidence.
AMONG all those vices which contribute to fill up the black catalogue of human crimes, Breach of Confidence may be ranked with the most detestable of them, as in that vice, ingratitude, dishonesty and villainy in the extreme, are blended.
The mind of man was never formed to lie dormant, nor to move in the narrow circle of lonely solitude. He who neglects to employ those faculties entrusted to his care is highly culpable, and guilty of refusing to coincide with the commands of his beneficent Creator, and, like the unfaithful servant, he will be beaten with many stripes. But far greater is the guilt of him who does all in his power to hinder the exercise of those mental faculties which are sometimes allotted to human nature. The man who is guilty of a breach of confidence, is one of the greatest enemies to the peace of mankind, and contributes more than any other to make the man of science and knowledge a misanthrope.
There are often transactions on the concealment of which for a season depends the success of events pregnant with advantages to many. The man who attempts to pry into transactions of the kind before mentioned, and under cloak of the most solemn vows and protestations of friendship, and inviolable secrecy, wrests every knowledge of the plan from the breast of another who puts confidence in him, and gives him every information concerning the subject, and he, after having obtained it, whispers the affair to the world, deserves every reproach which injured friendship can suggest, and Cain like, ought to be branded with a mark of infamy, that every one who sees him may know him, and not only knew him but despise him; and despicable he must appear in the eyes of every one who is not actuated by motives bare as his own.
There are many things which it is impossible for any one singly to accomplish; and he who has ever felt the disadvantages resulting from a breach of confidence, is discouraged from the pursuit of an undertaking when he has reason to fear that his designs may be frustrated, and his time and talents employed without effecting any thing beneficial to himself or contributing in the least to advance the happiness of others. The man who has suffered from a breach of confidence, naturally inbibs it as to the prejudice of a greater part of mankind, and tends to make him, though naturally of an open and generous turn of mind, jealous, suspicious and morose. How detestable is the monster whose conduct effects the change of philanthropy to hatred, and openness and generosity, into distrust and suspicion. The man, or rather the unprincipled monster, who is capable of being guilty of a breach of confidence, a violation of the sacred engagements of friendship, is possessed of a heart calculated for the accomplishment of "treason, sacrilege and crimes." He who would stain your peace of mind, would not hesitate, should an opportunity offer, and a possibility be apparent of concealing it from the knowledge of the world, to plunge a dagger into your heart. Who could bear, on meeting a wretch, branded with the mark of a breach of confidence,
to address him in the following, or similar words:
Detested monster, bane of human ills.
A foe to friendship, and the sweets of peace;
How dar'st thou walk the path of human life,
Or meet the man whose joys you've turn'd to strife;
Whose fairest bud your cruel hand has nipt,
Whose brightest garment off him you have stript;
Whose feeling heart you've fill'd with poignant grief,
And ope'd a wound which can't admit relief;
No more you're fit to converse with mankind,
To all that's vicious is your heart inclin'd;
To all that's noble—you're a stranger rude,
Go, herd with infamy's all-horrid brood;
No longer taint with poisonous breath the air,
The world's enjoyments you're unfit to share:
Go, seek a dwelling in the realms of hell,
Where furies hiss, and to tur'd monsters yell.
Breach of confidence weakens the chain which binds men together in society; it checks the course of those pleasing streams which flow from the source of friendship, and dams up the passages of social intercourse.—
A man who can be guilty of betraying his trust in one instance, would be likely to in another, and one perhaps of more momentous concern. I would be as doubtful about entrusting property to the care of a man who had violated his engagements of friendship, as I would to a noted burglar or highway robber.
There are many who do not consider a breach of confidence in the atrocious light in which, upon serious reflection, it really appears, and such are apt to think too lightly of vows and solemn declarations; but let them reason upon the matter in their retired moments, let them make it the subject of the closet meditations, and if they have not so completely barricaded their minds with adamantine bars, as to prevent conviction from darting in upon them her powerful rays, I am persuaded they will see the erroneousness of their opinion, and view a breach of confidence in the light in which it ought to be viewed, and think the memory of that man who would be guilty of it, should be perpetuated on the roll of lasting infamy and reproach. They will concur with me in saying, that he, who pays no regard to his private obligations, who obtains the secrets of another's breast, and then wants only parts with them at the expense of friendship, honour, generosity, and every social tie, is unworthy the title of man, and deserves to be shut out from all intercourse with human beings.
JUVENIS.
GENERAL ORDERS,
For the sixth Division of the Militia in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, comprehending the counties of York and Cumberland.
THE commanding officers of each regiment in the division, are ordered to have the several companies in their respective regiments mustered, both the train band and alarm list, within their own limits, on Thursday the first day of May next, in order to view their fire arms and other equipments; and to make return of the number of officers and soldiers, distinguishing the train band from the alarm list: which return is to be made to Col. James Scammon, deputy-adjutant general of said division, on or before the eighth day of May next.
The deputy-adjutant general will digest the return, from the commanders of the several
regiments, and make out one complete return of the whole, and convey the same to the major general of the division, on or before the 20th day of May next, that the major general may lay the same before the commander in chief, as the law directs.
His excellency the commander in chief having signified his acceptance of the resignation of Edmund Phiney, Esq. as colonel of the third regiment in the county of Cumberland; the commanding officer of that regiment, is ordered to have the vacancy and such as may be made by electing a colonel, filled up as the militia law directs, and make return, that those elected may be commissioned.
Brigadier general Littlefield, will see these orders put in execution in the first regiment in his brigade, and appoint the time and place for electing the officers whose places are vacant in that regiment.
As the major general has received no return of the election of a brigadier general in the county of Cumberland, since his last orders for that purpose; he now calls for it; and where there are any vacancies in either of the regiments in the field, commissioned or staff officers, the commanders of the several regiments are ordered without delay to fill such vacancies by elections and appointments, as the militia law directs.
The return of the cadet, artillery and cavalry companies, are requested to be made by their respective commanding officers.
All officers of every rank are hereby required to exert themselves in acquiring the art military, and instructing those under their command, in those manœuvres necessary on a day of general review, as that will take place so soon as the regiments can be organized and officered.
The regiments will the ensuing summer have frequent orders alternately to appear in the field for reviews.
Given under my hand at Berwick, this seventh day of April, A.D. 1788.
ICHABOD GOODWIN, (Major-General.)
Foreign Intelligence
FRONTIERS of TURKEY, Feb. 24. LETTERS from Constantinople inform us, that orders have been sent into Asia to raise an army of 60,000 men, who are to join the armies assembled in Bessarabia and Moldavia.
FRANKFORD, March 8. The Turks have taken six transports from the Austrians, and the Brigadier Brentaro lost his life in endeavouring to make reprisals.
ROME, February 14. We are assured that in the approaching consistory, which is to be held the 3d of March, the Pope will appoint Mr. Mendoza, a Portuguese, to be Patriarch of Lisbon.
Feb. 25. A few days ago, a mansion, in which resides a society of Jesuits, took fire. Though few of the apartments were burnt, they were obliged to pull down the whole pile to stop the progress of the flames.
PARIS, March 20. Nothing is talked of but the approaching assembly of the States General being to be established in the city of Tours.—The ministers will lodge at Amboise, and the king and royal family at Chanteloup. It is at present said, that the national assembly will be convened this year, but, they add, not very soon, on account of the grand project formed for the secularization of all the Monks, and the appropriation of all their wealth towards making up the national deficiency. This suppression (it proposed) will, without doubt, meet a thousand obstacles, not only from the religious, but from the families who have established themselves round the convents, and are supported by them, and who, if they are deserted, will be ruined. According to some, the states will assemble at St. Germain in Laye, and what seems to confirm it is, that the commissioners of the king's house have inspected what apartments there are for lodging a number of strangers.
LONDON, April 2. Advices from Versailles, by a gentleman who arrived late last night, inform us, that his grace the duke of Dorset, had given directions to his domesticks, to hold themselves in readiness for their departure for England, and that he had ordered in all his bills, at a short notice, which had occasioned much speculation there.
From other circumstances, which our correspondent communicated, we have reason to expect his arrival in London hourly.
The Dutch and Flanders mails which were due, arrived yesterday morning.—The London Gazette has been published—but no news of the Treaty, offensive and defensive, with the United Provinces, has appeared in the Gazette, as predicted by ma-
ny other prints, in contradiction to our assertions; nor has any information yet been received, that we can learn, either by our foreign letters, or domestic intelligence, respecting the real state of a treaty.
The London Gazette, on this account, as well as for the remarkable circumstance of not containing even One New Commission of Bankruptcy, may be considered as a Maiden One.
Monday a cabinet council was held at Lord Carmarthen's office, which Mr. Pitt came to town from Holwood on purpose to attend, as did most of the other cabinet ministers. The council sat near four hours, and broke up at three o'clock.
The business which engrossed the attention of the cabinet on Monday, we are informed, was the increased and increasing state of the Spanish navy, which it has been reported is fitted out with an intention of opposing the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean. This pretext will no doubt be carefully sifted, and circumpectly attended to, by the present ruling powers.
Sunday baron Hompesch, lately arrived from Germany, had a long conference with the minister, at his house in Downing-street, after which he immediately set off for Vienna, to join his regiment, which is on its march against the Turks. The baron's father is prime minister, and it is therefore conjectured, that his errand here was of a public and important nature.
Fresh advices from Spain confirm our former accounts, of the very great naval preparations that are making in every port of that kingdom. They add, that his Catholic Majesty is firmly determined to oppose the entrance of the Russians into the Mediterranean; and that a manifesto will shortly appear, containing the motives that have induced his Majesty to take these measures.
At Cadiz, six men of war are ready to sail, one of which is the Astulo, of 60 guns, which is to be commanded by commodore Philip Galvez, who is also to have the direction of the fleet of observation in the Mediterranean this spring.
It is laid to be the intention of the Lords, to sit only two days in each week, during the remainder of the present session, on the trial of Mr. Hastings. The rest of the time to be employed on the business of the nation. The trial, of course, if not entirely given up, will be adjourned to another session.
When the Ravenworth left Bengal, the Company's affairs were in a state of perfect tranquility. The only thing which had any tendency to alarm, was, that the Poonah administration had gained such considerable strength, as to cause some fear for the safety of Madajee Scindia, who was in alliance with the Company.
The French are very busy at Poonah, Seringapatam, and with the Nabob at Hyderabad, and are extending their views with great assiduity at all the courts in India. They are in great force at the Mauritius; and so are the Dutch at their settlements on the coast of Coromandel.
By an order of Lord Cornwallis, a return had been made of every European British subject in Bengal. By this prudent measure, a very considerable force will be ready on any emergency, whilst our troops will be left free to act on other services. His Lordship has made an addition of five lacks of rupees on the salt revenues, and has recommended, in the strongest manner, to his majesty's ministers, that the Company's officers should hold equal rank with the King's, without any limitation whatever.
Lord Cornwallis left Calcutta the latter end of July, visited the military stations on the frontiers, but an end so inadequate to the consequence of his absence, was not supposed to be the sole motive for his going.
The Company's bonds were very considerably reduced in their rate of discounts, owing to the punctuality of government in discharging their demands.
The whole of the revenue branch has been new modelled, and twelve collectorships abolished; the rest are put upon a more liberal footing, and draw a commission on their collections.
On Monday evening, the pursers of the Kent, Capt. Richard Harding, and the Manxman, Charles Gregorie, the former for Bengal direct, and the latter for Madras and Bengal, received their final dispatches from the India-House.
The following is an account of the time of the arrival of the different ships from England at Bengal, viz.
The Thetis on the 27th of May, 1787.
The Britannia, on the 11th of June.
The Atlas, the 15th.

The Princess Royal, the same day.
The Henry Dundas, the 23d following.
The Rodney, the 27th ditto.
The Lord Camden, and Princess Amelia, the 22d of July; and,
The Minerva, early in the month of Aug.
Four mails will be despatched this evening from the General Post-Office to Falmouth: those for Jamaica and the Leeward Islands will be conveyed by one packet, and the other bags for New-York, Quebec, Halifax, and other parts of America, by the other.

A smart action then commenced, which ended with the retreat of the Indians, after wounding one of the young Burnets, and several balls brushing the clothes and hat of the doctor.
Last Sunday forenoon some negro men were carried off from Col. Maybank's plantation, in Liberty county, by the Indians. Col. Maxwell has since been over the Alatanaha, with a party of men, and returned without being able to come up with any of the savages.

ON a report of the Board of Treasury, to whom was referred a motion of Mr. Carrington.
Resolved, That Congress proceed to the election of two commissioners for settling

CHARLES THOMSON, Sec.
FOR THE DAILY PATRIOTIC REGISTER. Mr. GREENLEAF,
IN discussing the merits of the new constitution, one of the most favorite, and indeed one of the most plausible arguments the anti republicans adduce in support of their tenets is, the celebrity of the characters that composed the convention and their unanimity in signing the constitution—this, as the Plebeian well observes, "provokes to an investigation of characters which is an invidious task." I believe, however, upon a candid investigation, we will be convinced that some of them, during the late war, "were hidden in the corners of obscurity," some of them "speculating for fortune by sporting with the public money;" and that others are "more remarkable for their ambition and cunning than their patriotism;" it would however be the height of injustice to deny the greatest merit to a few who signed the constitution—but the most knowing and patriotic may undesignedly do the greatest disservice to their country, and it is highly inconsistent with the dignity of a rational and independent man to give his implicit assent to a constitution of government, merely because it is gilded with the tintel of great names.
I think with Levy, that "a free people have no greater enemies than those who, created for the purpose of establishing a government for the good of the community, deprive the state of every part of its rights, who take away annual magistracy, and the certain vicissitude of authority without which equal liberty hath no existence." As to the boasted unanimity of the Philadelphia convention, I shall only observe in the words of a judicious writer, that "unanimity is in itself an indifferent though a spacious quality—Fools may be unanimous in the pursuit of a silly end, or of a right end by silly means. Knaves may be unanimous to cheat, pirates to plunder, assassins to destroy, even good men may be unanimous in a mistake—but it is not surely for wise or honest men who see the mistakes, the folly, the crimes, who felt the danger to be unanimous in supporting, because others have been so wicked, so unwise or unfortunate—as to be unanimous in committing them."

AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF
LETTERS
FROM THE
FEDERAL FARMER
TO THE
REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system
of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

POET'S CORNER.
THE LADY'S CHOICE. A MODERN SONG.
To fly like bird from grove to grove, To wander like the bee; To sip of sweets and taste of love, Is not enough for me. No fluttering passion fills my breast; I with the place to find, Where fate may give me peace and rest, One shepherd to my mind. To every youth I'll not be gay, Nor try on all my pow'r, Nor future pleasures throw away, For triumphs of an hour. I would not reign the general toast, Ador'd by all the town: A thousand tongues on me are lost, I'll hear but only one. For most of all the flattering train, Which swarm at beauty's shrine, When youth's gay charms are in their wane, Their court will sure decline: Then fops, and wits, and beaux, forbear! Your arts will never do: For some fond youth shall be my care, Life's chequer'd season through. My little heart shall have a home; A warm and shelter'd rest; No giddy flight shall make me roam, From where I most am blest. With love and only that dear swain, What tranquil joys I see— Farewell ye false, inconstant train! For one is all to me.
