The following POEM, in a distant part of the world, had fact for its foundation. The lovers, thus described, parted, with the emotions the story gives them. The dialogue only is fanciful: it is the form which the author adopted, as the best method of conveying to the public.
THE REPENTANCE OF PASSION. HE. AND does my Harriet still adhere, To wear affliction's garb alone; Still does she hold her spoiler dear, And prize his peace who broke her own?
SHE. And does my love, unkind suppose I e'er would leave his lonely bed; Forsake the youth my heart has chose, And fly, because his health has fled?
HE. Ah cease to sooth my woe-worn head! Shun the sad wretch thou can'st not save; Nor hover round that guilty bed Where martyr'd virtue found its grave:
SHE. Ah cease to wound my heart anew! Still if thou bend'st at sorrow's shrine, Again thy Harriet thou'lt undo, For Harriet's life is wrapp'd in thine;
HE. O spurn me!—Caste my heart in steel— Give just resentment all its force; Nor by such kindness, make me feel, The torture of severe remorse;
SHE. Lament no more, my bosom's friend;— Thy errors past, thy cares should cease; Corroding thought awhile suspend, And nurture'd ills shall teem with peace;
HE. Too tender, too relenting fair! My fault can never be forgot; Unpaying love would scorch my pray'r, And injured nature owns me not;
SHE. Hear me, thou persevering man! Hear, what thy Harriet firmly swears— If coursed death must be thy plan, Remember, 'twill but prelude hers;
HE. Lend me thy aid, to combat fate; For thy dear sake I'll strive to live; Draw near me—help, oh! 'tis too late— Take the last kiss I now can give;
SHE. Here—on this bosom, rest thy head— Speak—look upon me—breathe once more— His pulse is still—oh God! he's dead— Fate do thy worst—the conflict's o'er.
ARLEY. Weep for their woes, ye tender few— I o'ul pity what you feel so well; My humble pen but paints for you; How just—the twinkling tear shall tell.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) May 3. His Majesty's ship Chichester, of 44 guns, from Portsmouth, commanded by Lieutenant Bridges, and the merchant ship Eliza, left from Cork, arrived on Monday and Tuesday at Port Royal, with 547 recruits from the regiments in this island.—The officers accompanying the recruits are Ensigns Sinclair, and Vardy, of the 3d regiment, and Doctor Robertson.
Two French ships of the line, and a brig, followed the Chichester several days after her quitting Madeira, and the latter continued in sight till they came within the latitude of Barbadoes.
Tuesday arrived at Port Royal, his Majesty's ship Aurora, Capt. Sutton, from Portsmouth and Antigua. She left Portsmouth the second of March. Before the Aurora left the Windward Islands, the 49th regiment arrived at Barbadoes, the 9th at Antigua, and the 48th at St. Kitt's.
SAVANNAH, June 5. We are favored with the following authentick account of Mr. Burnet's last gallant action with the Indians, from his letter to gen. Jackson, and for his determined conduct he has received the general's thanks.
Glynn county, May 10, 1788. Dear General, This will inform you of an action I had with the Indians on the 30th of April. Their party, supposed to be upwards of a hundred, attacked my blockhouse, about eleven o'clock at night. Our party, which was never before so weak, several having left us, expecting no danger, to return the next morning, consisted of only four white men and three armed negroes. One of the negroes, on sentry out, was killed and scalped, and two of the whites were wounded early in the action. Another negro was killed, the Indians fought with a seeming, determination of taking us, firing on all quarters, and frequently running up within ten feet of the blockhouse; but, after attacking for an hour and a quarter, they were forced to retreat. They must have lost between twenty and thirty killed and wounded, as we plainly saw several fall, which were carried off by others; and they left several arms and matchcoats behind them, which we found next morning. Our few men fought with uncommon bravery. My wound I received some time ago is almost well, and I hope before long, to be able to draw my sword against those savages again. They carried off five negroes. I remain, dear general, yours, &c. JOHN BURNET.
* The Indian party acknowledged ten killed in the action, on their return to Florida. By official accounts from col. Maxwell to gen. Jackson, we learn, that on the 30th ultimo, in the afternoon, eight Indians attempted to take off Mr. Sallet's negroes from his field, while at work capt. Sumner stationed there with a party of militia, ran to their relief, but, previous to their getting to near as to incur them, the Indians had caught one fellow, tied one of his hands, and were dragging him off; the resistance he made was so violent, and their finding the guard pressing on them, induced them to shoot a ball through him, cut his throat, and scalp him. Every exertion was made by captain Sumner and Mr. Sallet to head them, but in vain. A trial was discovered on Monday, before that attempt, on Bulltown swamp, which was followed by capt. Fraser, with a party of men with dogs, but with no better success.
A party of the state troops followed the Indians a considerable distance, after the mischief at Sallet's; but their movements, on their return, were so rapid, that every exertion was ineffectual. Since the above we are informed, the cannibals at one of the stations where the state troops are posted in Liberty county, were fired on in the night. A pursuit instantly ensued, towards the place from whence the firing came, but a very close swamp, of great extent, which was near the spot, rendered it fruitless. Saturday last sailed from Tybee for Liverpool, the brigantine Minerva, capt. Hopkins, in which went passenger, capt. George Hait.
PHILADELPHIA, June 30. On Thursday last departed this life, in the 44th year of his age, JOHN ARMSTRONG, Esq., of Caroline County, Virginia; and on Friday evening his remains were interred in Christ church grave yard, attended by a number of respectable inhabitants of the city.
During a long and painful illness he discovered such marks of resignation and good temper as procured him the esteem of strangers. In his native country, he was beloved, for all those social and domestic virtues which adorn and endear the good citizen—the friend—the husband—the father—and the master of a family.
Among the various pleasing objects which will doubtless be exhibited in the Federal Procession on Friday next, it is devoutly to be wished, that Philadelphia Hats, Germantown Stockings, buckskin Breeches, and Cottons and Yarns of our manufacturing society, may not unfrequently present themselves.
The Committee appointed to arrange a Procession on the Ratification of the Federal Constitution by a ninth state request, that the several Occupations and Professions in the City, Liberties and County of Philadelphia will be pleased, by a deputy from each to inform the Committee, at the State-House This Day , at 5 o'clock in the Afternoon, of the arrangements they have severally taken with respect to their different insignias and decorations for the procession.
NEW-YORK, July 2.
By a passenger of veracity, who came in the stage from Philadelphia, and arrived here last evening, we are informed, That the State of Virginia has ADOPTED the Federal Constitution.
Extract of a letter from Richmond. June 23. 10 o'clock, P.M.
"The convention finished the last clause of the constitution this day. To morrow or next day the final question will be put. It is expected there will be a majority of two or three for its adoption. The next mail will bring you something decisive I hope."
Captain Helms, on his passage from Bombay, touched at the Cape of Good Hope. He left there, on the 4th April, the Captains Barry, Truxton and Kean, of Philadelphia, who arrived at the Cape the 28th and 29th March; Captain Skinner, of Baltimore, who arrived the 26th March; Captain Gardiner, of Boston, who arrived the 29th March, and Captain Lambert, of Salem, who arrived there the 26th March—all well.
The citizens of America, says a correspondent, have in the course of thirteen years acquired more immortal honor, more unfading laurels, and more well won fame, than all the heroes of antiquity, and conquerors of modern times. They are the only people who ever assumed the military character and without discipline or experience, and surrounded by a thousand difficulties, ventured to oppose the well-trained bands, the hardy veteran of a powerful monarch. Nor did they oppose them in vain—Engaged in one common cause, inspired with the same generous flame, they were successful in asserting their own rights, the rights of their country, of their posterity, and of mankind—they burst the bands of tyranny, and taught others how to become free. They provided at last retreat for liberty, and an asylum for the oppressed of all nations. But they have shown themselves no less wise in council than brave in the field; they have calmly and deliberately formed and adopted a plan of government, which (when we consider the heterogeneous materials afforded for its construction by thirteen distinct states, almost all of them different in their interests, manners and customs) may justly be called a master-piece of human wisdom. While the revolutions of government in other countries, have given rise to most horrid scenes of carnage and bloodshed, America alone can boast of a Constitution framed by her chosen sages, and after the most mature deliberation, approved of by the people at large without tumultuous disorders or intestine broils, notwithstanding the industrious efforts of a few desperate incendiaries.
Under this constitution the government must needs be wisely administered, so long as the people remain uncorrupted; for they, by their representatives are to be their own legislators. What a pleasing prospect this to the philanthropic mind! O blest Columbia! thy sons shall revere those laws, to which they themselves shall have given birth, and which shall be calculated for the general good. Hence we may reasonably hope, that the utmost harmony shall pervade every part of the Union; that Justice, with all the moral and social virtues as her attendant train, may take up her residence amongst us; that public faith and private credit shall again raise their drooping heads; that a due tribute of respect awaits the American name at foreign courts; that our flag shall be displayed in every quarter of the globe; that agriculture, manufactures and commerce shall impart their blessings, and enrich our country—In short, that we shall become a great, a powerful and a happy people. But though we have good reason to expect all these things, as the eventual result of a good government, yet we should not be unreasonably sanguine in our hopes, nor expect that a human performance can work miracles. This our correspondent mentions, lest any should weakly imagine that this constitution should do every thing for them, let such bear in mind, that though a good government be an excellent encouragement to industry, and the best security for the fruits of their labours, yet still by far the greater part of our national character, and of the success
of our citizens in life, must ultimately depend on their own exertions; and without this Independence is but a bubble, and the best government on earth but a mere farce. May our citizens ever bear in mind, how much their happiness depends on themselves.
His Excellency the President of New-Hampshire commenced his administration by the following address to both branches of the legislature.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. Being elected by the suffrages of the people of this state, to the office of chief Magistrate, will ever be considered by me, as a fresh mark of that respect and confidence, which I have so often experienced from my fellow countrymen, and which demands my thanks and acknowledgments.
I am sensible of the importance of the station in which I am placed, and shall endeavor, by your assistance and support, to render every service in my power that may contribute to the happiness and prosperity of the state.
The public papers as they come to my hands, shall from time to time be laid before you, and I shall always be happy in making any communications the public good may require.
The perplexed situation of our public affairs in general, is so apparent to every person of reflection, that the bare mention of it is sufficient to call forth the exertions of every good citizen in the support of our country. The deranged state of our finances, the almost annihilation of our commerce, are objects truly important. But I look forward with pleasure to the time (which I trust is not far distant) when by the blessing of Divine Providence, we shall be relieved in a great measure, from these and many other embarrassments, by the adoption of the proposed federal constitution; this will give us a government equal to the great national objects by which only they can be regulated, and by which only we can ever reasonably expect to enjoy peace, liberty and safety.
Gentlemen. It is needless for me to take up your time in pointing out any particular matters; your wisdom will direct in the necessary business of the state, which will naturally come before you in the course of the present session, which will probably be short.

JOHN LANGDON. On Monday cleared out the sloop Emey, Jones, for Curacoa; sloop Alert, Paynter, for Bermuda; and sloop Leopard, Barlow, for Newfield.
Anecdote of Doctor Johnson, never before published. —Just before the commencement of war between the Empress and the Porte, in a company where the Doctor was, the discourse turning upon his play of Irene, a person observed, that the Doctor had complimented the Mussulmen, on account of their strength, numbers, &c. This being construed into a censure of the Doctor's accuracy, turning towards the person who made the observation, with a tone of voice that indicated no small asperity, Sir, says he, I presume that nobody will dispute the power of the Turks!—I beg your pardon, replied the former, the Russians certainly will.
The following Prescription for a CONSUMPTION or COUGH, is taken from a Charleston paper. —Take of Cumfry one pound, scraped clean; one table spoonful flax seed; two quarts of good water; put them into a vessel and boil them down to one quart; strain it off and let it cool. Also—take three quarters of a pound of brown sugar, the yolks of six new laid eggs, one nutmeg pounded fine, and afterwards mixed well together; mix one quart of Madeira wine with all the above ingredients, taking care not to let it curdle; then bottle it, and let the person afflicted take a wine glass full morning and evening, and any time when the Cough is troublesome.
MR. CHILDS. MANY of your readers are disappointed at finding so valuable a piece of information as that of Col. Morgan's, respecting the insects destroying the wheat, discontinued after one day's publication. The truth upon so very important a subject should be carefully diffused thro' the country, and by being repeatedly presented to their notice, should be impressed upon the mind of every farmer, who should be informed that Col. George Morgan is himself an experienced farmer, and a very accurate and careful observer, so that the most entire and the fullest confidence may be placed in his information. You and every printer are therefore requested to re-publish his address, and to continue it for some time in your paper, to which you may if you please, add this caution—that the blessing of this discovery respecting the yellow bearded wheat will soon be lost, unless the farmers are very careful to preserve this kind of wheat pure from any mixture with other kinds, which can only be done by sowing it by itself, and not near to fields of any other kind with which it will certainly mix, and from that mixture gradually lose its valuable distinction, the hardiness of its straw, by which it is preserved from the insect.
THE HESSIAN FLY. MR. CHILDS, OBSERVING a paragraph in your Daily Advertiser, addressed "For all the American newspapers," dated at Philadelphia, the 13th of June, and signed A LANDHOLDER—I am induced from the same motive with the writer, which I am sure were good, to inform him that his ideas respecting the Hessian Fly are ill founded. As they may mislead others, who have had no opportunity to know this destructive insect, I beg leave through your useful paper to refer him, and them, to the publications of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, on this subject, as they contain its true history. If the LANDHOLDER will read those publications, he will be convinced that his address may do much injury to many, who have not had the means of better information, however good his intentions may have been; and for this reason I recommend to all Printers, who have published his address, to give this as a caution against his recommendation. As a lover of my country, and a friend to the Farmers of the Middle States, I am further induced to declare, from experience, and a thorough investigation of the matter, that their absolute reliance (under Providence) must be on the yellow bearded Wheat, not the white, nor the red bearded Wheat, the sowing of which, by mistake, has occasioned much disappointment. That this declaration may have its full weight with all who know me, I give my name. New-York, June 24th 1788. GEORGE MORGAN, of Prospect, New-Jersey.
DIRECTIONS. SOW strong ground between the 10th and 20th of September, as far south as lat. 40, and proportionably later more Southward; and manure well with lime where it is convenient. As I have reason to believe this yellow bearded Wheat came originally from Chesapeake Bay or the State of Delaware, I have sent samples thereof to his Excellency General Washington, to John Dickenson, Esq., and to John Beal Bordley, Esq., to ascertain the matter, in hope of rendering an acceptable service to the States of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
This day is published, and to be sold by the Printer hereof, price 3s.

The whole of the place contains about four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence.
The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business.

For terms, apply to DIRCK LEFFERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same. The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser.

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, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unreservedly to the pain 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 see 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 undertaking 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 PATERSON.
