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 a 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.

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.

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.

On the stage men at work, in the different branches of the profession.

During the procession the pressmen were at work, and struck off many copies of the following Ode, composed for the occasion by F. Hopkinson, esquire.
THE ODE.
OH for a muse of fire! to mount the skies, And to a lifting world proclaim— Behold! behold! an empire rise! An Era new, Time, as he flies, Hath enter'd in the book of Fame. On Alleghany's tow'ring head Echo shall stand—the tidings spread, And o'er the Lakes, and misty floods around, An ERA new resound. See! where Columbia sits alone, And from her star bespangled throne, Beholds the gay procession move along, And hears the trumpet, and the choral, song—
She hears her sons rejoice— Looks into future times, and sees The num'rous blessings Heav'n decrees, And with her plaudit joins the gen'ral voice. 'Tis done! 'tis done! my Sons, she cries, 'In War are valiant, and in Council wise; 'Wisdom and Valour shall my rights de- fend. 'And o'er my vast domain those rights ex- tend. 'Science shall flourish—Genius stretch her wing, 'In native strains Columbian Muses sing; 'Wealth crown the arts, and Justice clean her scales, 'Commerce her ponderous anchor weigh, 'Wide spread her sails, 'And in far distant fields her flag dis- play.
'My Sons so Freedom sought, nor fought in vain; 'But found a naked Goddess was their gain: 'Good Government alone can shew the Maid, 'In robes of social happiness array'd." Hail to this Festival! all hail the Day! Columbia's standard on her Roof dis- play:
And let the People's Motto ever be, "UNITED THUS, and THUS UNITED FREE." This Ode, together with one in the German language, fitted to the purpose, and printed by Mr. Steiner, was thrown amongst the people as the procession moved along.

After the oration the company went to dinner.
No spirit or wines of any kind were in- troduced, American Porter, Beer and cy- der were the only liquors—with these were drank the following toasts, announced by the trumpet, and answered by a discharge of artillery—a round of ten to each toast, and these were in like manner answered by a discharge from the ship Rising Sun, at her moorings.
TOASTS.
1. The People of the United States. 2. Honor and immortality to the mem- bers of the late Federal Convention. 3. General Washington. 4. The king of France. 5. The United Netherlands. 6. The foreign powers in alliance with the United States. 7. The Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of the United States. 8. The Heroes who have fallen in defence of our Liberties. 9. May Reason, and not the Sword, hereafter decide all national disputes. 10. The whole family of mankind.
It should not be omitted, that the seve- ral trades furnished the devices, mottos, machines and decorations themselves, and at the expence of their respective compa- nies—and that by much the greatest part of the work exhibited on that day was completed between Monday morning and the Thursday evening following.
The whole of this vast body was formed and the entertainment of the day conduct- ed with a regularity and decorum far be- yond all reasonable expectation. The foot ways, the windows and roofs of the houses were crowded with spectators, exhibiting a spectacle truly magnificent and irresistably animating. But what was most pleasing

to the contemplative mind, universal love and harmony prevailed, and every countenance appeared to be the index of a heart glowing with urbanity and rational joy. This pleasing idea was much supported by a circumstance which probably never before occurred in such extent—viz. the clergy of almost every denomination united in charity and brotherly love—May they and their flocks so walk through life!
It is impossible to be precise in numbers on such an occasion, but averaging several opinions, there were about 5000 in the line of procession, and about 17,000 on Union Green. The green was entirely cleared by 6 o'clock in the evening, and the edifice, ship, and several machines being withdrawn, the citizens soberly retired to their respective homes. The weather was remarkably favorable for the season—cloudy without rain, and a brisk wind from the south during the whole day.—At night the ship Rising Sun was handsomely illuminated in honor of this great festival.
Such is the account we have been enabled to give of this memorable exhibition—It is very probable there may be some omissions; if so, the committee can only assure their fellow citizens that no neglect or offence was intended to any individual or company whatever. The shortness of the time, and the complicated nature of the task they have undertaken, must be their apology.
As the system of government (now fully ratified) has been the occasion of much present joy, so may it prove a source of future blessing to our country, and the glory of our rising empire! Published by Order,

BOSTON, July 3. Celebration of the Festival of St. JOHN.
TUESDAY last week, being the anniversary of St. John the Baptist, the festival was celebrated at Warrenhall, in Charlestown, by the Ancient and Honorable Society of free and accepted Masons.
At ten o'clock the Grand Lodge being assembled in ample form, an installation of the Grand Officers for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the ensuing year, took place, and the Grand Lodge was closed.
King Solomon's Lodge, usually held at Charlestown, was then opened, and being accompanied by the Grand Officers, and a number of visiting Brethren, they formed a procession in the following order;
 Band of Musick. Tylers.  Stewards of King Solomon's Lodge.  Grand Stewards.  Deacons of King Solomon's Lodge.  Grand Deacons.  Entered Apprentices.  Fellow Crafts.  Master Masons.  Wardens of Lodges.  Past Masters.  Masters of Lodges.  Treasurer and Secretary of King Solomon's Lodge.  Grand Treasurer and Secretary.  Wardens of King Solomon's Lodge.  Past Grand Officers.  Grand Wardens.  Master of King Solomon's Lodge.  Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master. 
Having arrived at the meeting house, an elegant and well adapted discourse was delivered to a numerous and respectful auditory, by the Rev. Mr. Parker of this town, from John xii. 35. and the solemnities of the day were very much enlivened by various performances of the society of singers, who favored the company with their services. At the conclusion of divine worship, the procession being joined by a number of gentlemen of public character, not of the fraternity, returned to the Hall, which was ingeniously decorated on the occasion. A genteel entertainment was provided, and the following toasts were drunk:
 1. Masonry universal.  2. The United States. 
3. May the brightness of the East, the soft breezes of the South, and the going down of the West, have its influence on every Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons.
4. The Governor and Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
5. All regularly constituted Grand Lodges.
6. May the Nine Pillars which have been raised to support the American Fabrick, be soon joined by the other four.
7. Our illustrious brother George Washington, Esq.
8. His most christian majesty Louis XVI.
9. The memory of our illustrious grand master, Joseph Warren Esq.
10. Agriculture and commerce.
11. Speedy relief to all distressed brethren throughout the world.
12. May Americans be as distinguished for their virtues, as they have been in arms.
13. All Mankind.
At sun-set the brethren took leave of each other, having spent the afternoon in convivial innocence agreeably to ancient masonic usages.
New-York, July 15.
YESTERDAY arrived here the Sloop Brothers, Watson, in 10 days from Digby.
By accounts from Poughkeepsie, so late as Saturday evening, we learn, that it was not expected the final question would be taken until Wednesday, that is, to-morrow.—Materials may be expected this day by which a perspective could be formed of the important issue which will result from the extensive deliberations of the hon. the Convention; but the accounts received in the city are so various and confused, that it is difficult to fix any point on which, even anticipation, with permanency, could erect a standard: our readers, therefore, must wait with patience until the political hemisphere be a little brightened.—It is well ascertained, that the amendments, which are now preparing, will be of three kinds, viz. explanatory, recommendatory, and conditional.
Each state in the union is now represented in the Hon. the Congress of the United States, sitting in this city.
At a meeting of the Society of the Cincinnati of the State of Rhode-Island, on the Fourth of July instant, the following Gentlemen were chosen Officers for the ensuing year, viz:
 James M. Varnum, Esq.; President.  Dr. Isaac Senter, Vice-President.  John S. Dexter, Esq.; Secretary.  Jeremiah Olney, Esq.; Treasurer. 
Extract from a LONDON PAPER of May 16. "COPLEY—On a canvas to fill the niche in the Guildhall Council Chamber, 24 by 20—this painter is at work with all his laborious patience, on the Relief of Gibraltar."
"This picture has three groupes; one of British sailors, seizing possession of a Spanish gun boat. One of a Felucca in flames, surrendering to an English boat, and Sir Roger Curtis, with hastening humanity, saving the enemy. The third groupe is of portraits, the principal officers—Lord Heathfield is on horse back, Sir R. Boyde, and Gen. de la Motte are on his right hand. Those on his left are Gen. Green, Col. Takenhouse, Col. Pictet, Col. Huge, Col. Crame, Col. Slipperque, Col. Hurdy, Col. Tickel, Major Valotton—Col. Lyndsey is the officer in the Highland dress; and he comes off, as he ever has done, very boldly indeed. The well known alacrity of Major Lewis not waiting for his boots, is properly remembered on the canvas."
"In a small compartment at the bottom of the picture, is a view of Gibraltar, with Lord Howe's fleet entering the bay—A portrait of Lord Howe, and why not the other Admirals? is sketched to be there in profile medallion."
"Taken altogether, it will be a magnificent work, worthy of the artist and his art, a record, fit to be given and received by the first Commercial City in the world, to the best exertions of British arms!"
"COPLEY, amidst studies such as these, has not much time for Portraits. To the praise of his industry, what time he has he gives: There is a small length of Lord and Lady Westcote, and their daughter—And a whole length of Mr. Adams, the late Ambassador from America. Having left this situation, a Terrestrial globe is painted under his eye, signifying the World is before him, and as he stands, he is on the right side of the Atlantic!"
The Mechanics are
requested to attend a Meeting at the City-Tavern, THIS EVENING, at SEVEN o'Clock—When it is expected that the several Branches which have not yet been represented, will come prepared with the Returns and Devices of their different Professions, in order that the final disposition may be made for the Procession.
By Order of the Committee of Arrangement, RICHARD PLATT, Chairman.
In Congress, June 24, 1788.
ON a report of the board of Treasury, to whom was referred a letter of Andrew Duncomb, Esq. commissioner of the State of Virginia, for settling their accounts with the United States, addressed to his Excellency the Governor of the said State, and dated on the 23d of May last.
Resolved, That the several states be allowed three months in addition to the time limited by the ordinance of the 7th of May, 1787, for exhibiting to the district commissioners their respective accounts against the United States; and that three months be added to the twelve months mentioned in the said ordinance for terminating the commission of the said district commissioners.
Resolved, That the several states be authorized to transmit to the account of the treasury, the commissioner of army accounts, and to the general board of commissioners to be appointed in pursuance of the ordinance of the 7th May, 1787, such additional vouchers or other testimony as they may think necessary to support any claim by them exhibited to the respective offices aforesaid; provided the same be transmitted at least six months previous to the termination of the office of the general board as fixed by the ordinance above mentioned.

The PEOPLE of the STATE of NEW-YORK,
By the Grace of God Free and Independent
To the Sheriff of Queen's County, Greeting:
WHEREAS by our writ we have lately commanded you, that you should cause Thomas Van Wyck, late of Oyster-Bay, in Queen's county and state of New-York, yeoman, to be demanded from county court to county court, until, according to the law and custom of our state he should be outlawed if he should not appear and if he should appear then that you should take him and cause him to be safely kept, so that you might have his body before our justices of our supreme court of judicature, at the City Hall, of the city of Albany, on the last Tuesday of July next, to answer unto William Loines, of a plea, that he render unto him the said William Loines, two thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine pounds nineteen shillings and eight-pence, current money of New-York, which he owes him and unjustly detains, as he saith: therefore we command you, by virtue of the statute in such case made and provided, that you cause the said Thomas Van Wyck to be proclaimed upon three several days, according to the form of the same statute (one of the same proclamations to be made in your open county court, and one other of the same proclamations at the general sessions of the peace in those parts where the said Thomas Van Wyck inhabits, and one other of the same proclamations at or near the most usual door of the church of the town wherein he inhabits) that he render himself unto you, so that you may have his body before our justices of our supreme court of judicature, at the City Hall of the city of Albany at the day aforesaid, to answer the said William Loines of the plea aforesaid, and have you then there this writ. Witness Richard Morris, Esq. chief justice at the City Hall of the city of New-York, the eighteenth day of April, in the twelfth year of our independence. M'KESSON.

The LAST ATTEMPT.
By Mr. M'PHERSON,
(Of the old American Company)
THIS EVENING, being the 15th instant.
At the City Tavern,
Will be delivered G. A. Steven's celebrated
LECTURE on HEADS,
With considerable Additions,
Prologues and Epilogues.
In the course of the LECTURE,
Twenty-two Heads will be exhibited.
Doors to be opened at half past SEVEN,
and to begin at eight o'Clock.
TICKETS, at Four Shillings each, may be
had at the usual places, and of Mr. M'Pher- son, No. 30. Hanover-Square.
To the Public in general, and the Patrons
of the Theatre in particular.
AS nothing but the extreme necessity to which I am reduced, could force from me an address of this kind—to feeling minds (and to such only I appeal) the cause from which it proceeds must plead powerfully in my favor.—I believe it is unnecessary to observe, that I belonged to the Old American Company of Comedians, whose ill success (previous to the benefits) the last season, is as generally known; and to the impartial and unprejudiced patrons of the theatre, I trust I shall stand excused, if, in justice to my behavior (which, in the opinion of my creditors must seem reprehensible) I am compelled to declare, that as the company did not perform more than half the time they continued here, and as the salaries were discontinued those weeks we did not play, I have, on an average, received but half salary: the extra properties wanting for the stage (and which cannot be dispensed with) required great part of this, and the remainder was inadequate to the maintenance of myself and daughter. This circumstance, joined to the small advantage derived from a benefit, conjointly with Mr. Bidle, (an account of which will prove, that our shares were only £. 5) rendered me unable to discharge the few debts I had unvoluntarily contracted. Therefore, when the company left the place, I determined to remain, in hopes of exorcising myself by delivering the "LECTURE ON HEADS;" but as I have unsuccessfully failed in every attempt hitherto, the consequence must be obvious. I cannot, however, refrain from making one effort more—as, after this declaration, it will be an obvious reflection on the worthy citizens of New-York—(whose beneficence has too often shone conspicuously) not to hope for success.

POET'S CORNER.
Lucian's Greek Epigram, Imitated. Inscribed on a column in a piece of land, that had been often bought and sold. I , WHOM thou seest begirt with tow'ring oaks, Was once the property of John o' Nokes; On him prosperity no longer smiles, And now I feed the flocks of John o' Stiles. My former master call'd me by his name; My present owner fondly does the same: While I, alike unworthy of their cares, Quick pass to captors, purchasers, or heirs. Let no one henceforth take me for his own, For, fortune! fortune! I am thine alone.
From the NEW-HAMPSHIRE SPY. A N E C D O T E. V ERY pious gentleman, but rather worldly-ly, who lived not a thousand miles from this town, made it his constant practice to call up his family before day, in order that they might attend prayers, and be ready for their labours in good season: one morning, having mustered his family rather earlier than common, he commenced family duties by prayer, during which, he returned thanks to the Lord that they were brought to see the light of another day: an old negroe standing by, cries out, "top, top, vass a bit, no day yet massa, certain—no day yet."

WE, the PRESIDENT and PROFESSORS of COLUMBIA COLLEGE, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do certify, that we have examined a new publication, entitled " The Principles of the Latin Grammar explained, &c.

Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired. Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH, Attempted from the GERMAN of MR. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings. This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merit is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that unbounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius. The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

To the PUBLIC. AS the time limited for completing the execution of my scheme for the selling some of my houses and landed interest terminates the 25th of July next, I take the liberty to request those gentlemen who have honored and aided me in the disposal of my tickets, to forward the unengaged tickets, by the fastest means possible, so that they may reach me on or before the period above alluded to:—to which end, circular letters will be forwarded to each by the first opportunity. I here return my most sincere acknowledgement for the countenance given my plan, from gentlemen in most parts of the continent. And though arduous and difficult as the undertaking appeared in its commencement, it gives me the most pleasing satisfaction to add, that it now promises to gratify my most earnest expectations. 20 3w THOMAS PROCTOR.

Remaining on Hand, A Few MAPS,
Of the interior parts of North-America, including the lands intended for the NEW STATES, some of which are selling, and others already disposed of by order of Congress.
ORDERS are just received, by the printer hereof, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, comprehending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Soto, Cheo-ke, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The climate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pitt and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY. THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. Some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and numerous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more moderate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated—(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, teas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeeded admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkeys, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
Mrs. WATERS, HAS removed to Peck-Slip, No. 1, where she continues the business of washing Silk Stockings, and other nice articles, in the usual manner, in which branch she has always given satisfaction.
