The PROPRIETORS of the New-York and Philadelphia NEW LINE
***** 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-York, Elizabeth-Town, and Philadelphia
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 Pauls-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 Bridgetown in Raraway, 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. JOHN MERCEREAU, JOHN HEARD, CHARLES BASONETT, WILLIAM KERLIN.

Foreign Intelligence
[By the Resolution, which arrived from Dublin on Sunday, the following intelligence is received.]
L O N D O N, March 27.
By the last accounts from Dantzig, it appears, that great discontents prevail in that city, the decline of trade, and the difficulty of finding the usual channels of subsistence, to which numbers are reduced, have thrown the inhabitants into a general fermentation. One faction is inclined to give up the city totally to that power, which from the present situation of affairs is mistress of its fate; the other, and that most respectable in point of power and riches, wishes to remain under the sovereignty of Poland. The views of the former are supported by the actual situation of Russia, which appears to be at present too much engaged with the Turks to support the independence of Dantzig.
In order to encourage his officers to do their duty in the present war against the Turks, and to reconcile them to the distress to which their wives and families must be exposed from the common fate of soldiers, the Emperor has issued a proclamation, by the council of war attending the army, intimating that the widows and children of officers killed in the service, or dying of their wounds, shall receive pensions proportioned to the rank of their fathers (for the children) and of their husbands (for the widows) and this to hold good, notwithstanding any renunciation previously made upon their marriage with respect to receiving pensions on the death of their husbands, or any other security whatsoever given by them.
Whatever the motive may be which at present exercises the spirit of the French nation, whether emulation, pride, or necessity, it is sufficiently evident, that they are exerting all their powers, and using every possible method to promote and extend their commerce.
This is become such an universal object of attention in France, that the French academy of arts and sciences in many of their provinces, have made commerce and manufactures the subject of their prize questions.
The academy of Orleans proposes as a subject for investigation, "What are the best means for bringing the trade of Orleans, to the highest degree of perfection of which it is capable?"
The academy of Angiers proposes a considerable reward, to whoever shall say in the most perspicuous terms, "How the commerce of Angiers and its province, may be most effectually revived, and most extensively augmented?"
May we not be permitted to remark, that we have no question or prizes of similar import amongst ourselves, but that it is an object highly deserving our attention and imitation.
Letters from Holland by yesterday's mail, advise, that great disturbances and excesses still continue to prevail in that province, relative to the amnesty: and that their noble and great mightinesses had been obliged to publish a fresh placart, expressive of their just indignation, at the ingratitude of the inhabitants of the cities and flat countries.
The Grand Duke, with a train of much magnificence, left Peterburg the beginning of last month, to join the army.
By letters from Constantinople, we learn, that the plague has manifested itself in that city, and its environs, and has infected the houses of the Dutch and Venetian ministers.
The same letters mention, that the widow of the late unfortunate Vice Admiral Hassan Bey, who was punished with the loss of his head, for the failure of the expedition against Kinburn, having demanded a restitution of the property taken from her said husband, was inhumanely flogged up in a sack, and thrown into the sea.
Our letters from Holland by yesterday's mail, advise, that the partial amnesty which had been published by their high mightinesses the states general, on the recommendation of the hereditary Prince Stadholder, had caused great murmurs and riots in the province of Holland, particularly in Amsterdam—so much so, that their high mightinesses judged it advisable forthwith to issue one of a more extensive and liberal nature.
The Ottoman Porte, notwithstanding the pressing instances of the courts of Versailles and Vienna, and the condescension which Russia is disposed to make, has absolutely refused to listen to any terms of accommodation, but such as will render the Crimea on the same footing that Peninsula was upon before the treaty of Kainerdgi, in consequence of which the greatest preparations for war were making throughout all the Ottoman states.
We are assured that the Ottoman army is more than 400,000 strong, and that the artillery will be directed by French officers.

We learn from Dobb's county, in this state, that on Sunday the 13th inst. a fracas happened between Col. Benjamin Shepard, and Mr. William Barfield, which originated in a dispute relative to the proposed constitution—the particulars of which are as follows:
Col. Shepard not agreeing in sentiments with Mr. Barfield, with respect to the new constitution, and while discussing the subject (being irritated with Mr. Barfield) proceeded to chastise him with a whip, which an apprentice boy of Mr. Barfield's perceiving, took up a broad ax, and struck Col. Shepard on the cheek, and thereby cut off a side of his face, and broke his collar bone. A nephew of Col. Shepard, who happened to be present, rescued the ax from the youth, upon which he took his master's rifle, it being then loaded, and shot at Col. Shepard's nephew, but providentially only wounded him in both arms, one of which has since been amputated. Our informant adds, that Col. Shepard has since died of his wounds.

May 7.
Thursday last, the first day of May, being St. Tammany's day, the tutelary Saint of America, the Federal Club met at Mr. Patrick Brannan's, agreeable to rule, where an elegant and sumptuous dinner was provided for the occasion.
They enjoyed the day in the greatest good humour and cheerfulness, and amity crowned the festive evening.
The following toasts were given by their worthy and respectable President, A. Mac-laine, Esq. which were drank with sincere energy, by the sons of St. Tammany.
 1. United States.  2. St. Tammany, and the friends of America.  3. General Washington.  4. Doctor Franklin.  5. Unanimity and steadiness to the councils of the United States.  6. The friends of liberty.  7. North-Carolina.  8. Governor Johnson.  9. May industry and integrity characterise the inhabitants of North-Carolina.  10. Wilmington, and the trade of Cape-Fear.  11. Our great men good, and good men great.  12. Injuries in dust, Friendships in marble.  13. The Federal Club. 
An itinerant gentleman, who participated of the above, agreeable entertainment, observes, that it was with the most pleasing satisfaction he saw so numerous a company, composed of men from all nations (the majority of whom were adopted sons of our rural saint) unite to celebrate the first of May, in this land of liberty: and after truly enjoying the day, separating with spirits highly exhilarated, in the greatest unanimity and good humour, not the least symptom of discord appeared through the whole.

B O S T O N, May 15.
Tuesday, agreeably to notification, the inhabitants of this town met at Faneuil-Hall, for the purpose of choosing seven persons to represent them in the hon. General Court, the ensuing year. At the close of the poll the numbers were as follows: the whole number of voters being 815, 408 making a choice. For the
  Hon. Caleb Davis, Esq. 576  Samuel Breck, Esq. 805  Jonathan Mason, Esq. 801  John Cossin Jones, Esq. 580  Charles Jarvis, Esq. 810  Thomas Dawes, jun. Esq. 812  Thomas Russell, Esq. 565  John Winthrop, Esq. 246  Col. P. D. Sargent, 212  John Sweetser, Esq. 237  Hon. Benjamin Austin, jun. 33  
and the seven first were declared chosen. It appears by the returns of votes for Lieutenant Governor, that there is no choice by the people; the whole number amount to upwards of 21,000—of which Gen. Lincoln has about 10,200, and consequently a small majority is against him.
At a meeting of the American academy of arts and sciences, on the 30th ult. the following gentlemen were elected fellows:
 Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. President of the Society in London.  The Rev. Nevil Maskelyne, D. D. F. R. S. Astronomer Royal at Greenwich.  The Rev. Thomas Hornby, D. D. F. R. S. Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford.  The Right Rev. Richard Watson, D. D. F. R. S. Bishop of Llandaff.  William Herschel, L. L. D. F. R. S. M. le Compte de Cessini, Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris.  Mr. James Hemmer, F. P. A. Secretary of the Electoral Academy of Sciences at Manheim.  Thomas Russell, Esq. of Boston.  The Rev. Noah Atwater, of Westfield. 
New-York, May 22.
ON Tuesday last arrived here the sloop Lady Green, Godfrey, Rhode-Island, in two days.
Since our last, the following vessels have arrived from Europe:—Hudson, Folger, Bristol; Resolution, Jenkins, Dublin; Friendship, Burton, Cork; Merchant, Bunker, Newry. And from other ports: Delight, Hunt, Jamaica; Corunna, Meeks, Port-au-Prince; Lewis, St. Croix; Good Intent, Leitch, St. Eustatia; Phenix, Watson, Barbadoes; Sea-Flower, Cook, Cape-Francois; Jane, Lightburn, Turks-Island; Mary, Reisbeck, New-Brunswick; Lilly, Hurd, St. Eustatia; and Alert, Taylor, Bermuda. Intelligence from Europe, see Foreign Intelligence in this paper. There is no news of consequence from any other quarter.
The following should serve as a caution, how careful families ought to be in using vessels of brass or copper—At an inn near Poole, in Dorsetshire, England, two gentlemen had some mulled wine made; soon after they had drank it, one of them was taken
with a vomiting, and pain in his bowels without being able to discover the cause; the timely assistance of a physician, however, who on enquiry found, that the vessel in which this wine was mulled, was not properly tinned, prevented worse consequences.—The other, not having timely advice, has been worse, and it is feared, will never recover his former state of health.
By an act of the British parliament, lately passed, entitled, "An act for regulating the trade between the subjects of his Majesty's colonies and plantations in North America, and in the West-India islands, and the countries belonging to the United States of America," &c. it is enacted—
"That no goods or commodities whatever shall be imported or brought from any of the territories belonging to the said United States of America, into any of his majesty's West-India islands (in which description the Bahama islands, and the Bermuda or Somers Islands, are included) under the penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be so imported or brought, together with all her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle and apparel, except tobacco, pitch, tar, turpentine, hemp, flax, masts, yards, bowsprits, flaves, heading-boards, timber, shingles, and lumber of any sort; horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and live stock of any sort; bread biscuit, flour, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain, of any sort; commodities respectively, being the growth or production of any of the territories of the said United States of America."
The above enumerated articles that are permitted to be imported, must be brought by British subjects in British ships, on penalty of forfeiture.
The following is part of a letter from Leghorn, dated January 16—"I shall now give you an account of the escape of some Portuguese from Algiers. The whole crew consisted of the captain, mate, and ten men. They were taken about three weeks since, carried into Algiers, and thrown into a loathsome prison, where they were almost starved. Hearing they were to be sent up the country into slavery, they contrived their escape in the following manner.—Some of them pretended to be ill, and called to the man who kept the gate for assistance. He no sooner entered than they secured him, tied his hands and feet, and locked him into the room they were confined in. Having taken the keys from him, they let themselves out, securing the door that he might not get out to follow them. They went immediately down to the harbour, where they found a small vessel, in which they put to sea without provisions or water; but Providence so ordered it, that they had a fair wind to this place. When they arrived, they were obliged to be brought ashore on mens backs. Great care is taken of them. It is impossible to express how joyful they are that they have escaped out of the hands of the Barbarians."

For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c.
Mr. GREENLEAF,
A LADY, aged about 27, no great beauty, but far from being intolerably ugly.—Her fortune is small, amounting to but five hundred pounds in ready money.—She has been genteelly educated, plays well on the harpsichord, which she accompanies with an agreeable voice, but is not so much a fine lady, as for the sake of displaying any agreeable talent or fashionable accomplishment, to neglect domestic concerns.—She has few relations, and but two or three female acquaintances, with whom she is on an intimate footing. Thus circumstanced she wishes to settle herself in life by entering into the state of Matrimony; and as from a peculiarity in her situation, she has, for several years past, been precluded from any society but that of her own sex, she is under a necessity of availing herself of the European method used in such cases, and therefore begs leave to introduce herself through the channel of your paper. To what she has already remarked respecting herself, candour obliges her to add, that she is a little hasty in her disposition, but the smallest concession instantly removes her passion, and she can by no means bear malice in her heart.—This circumstance she is induced to mention to avoid the imputation of wilfully imposing upon any gentleman who may make her his choice, which might be productive of unhappy consequences hereafter.—Having thus stated her imperfections as well as her perfections, she expects the same degree of candour from any gentleman who may be in want of a wife, and conceives one of her description will answer his purpose; but to avoid unnecessary trouble and useless application she must now declare, that she had much rather live and die a virgin than unite with a man who does not support a fair character in the world. An honest man is the wish of her heart. Fortune will be no consideration with her, but none need apply but such as are free from debt.
Any communications through your paper will be duly attended to; the pretensions of every candidate properly considered; just preference given to the most deserving, and an interview seasonably given by her; who, for the present, will subscribe herself

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.
