POEMS: by the late DR. LADD.
Etty.—Sorely is the name of Philander. Written on a rainy tempestuous morning. O! down on clouds, obsequious to the blast, With spreading gloom the face of heav'n is spread; Down pours the rain—and thirsty earth receives...
LONDON, March 23.
The empress has a formidable body of horse and foot united, (commanded by a lieutenant-general) who always keep the field, under the denomination of "the flying camp," and keep the enemy in continual alarm. The fabric of many of the Russian ship-cannon has been changed; that is, from 24 pounders downwards; to have less weight and a larger bore.
BOSTON, June 9.
Friday the Honorable Legislature, agreeably to the Constitution, made choice of the following gentlemen as Delegates to represent this commonwealth, in the Congress of the United States, for one year, commencing in November next, viz. Hon. John Adams, Hon. Samuel A. Otis, Hon. Nat. Gorham, Hon. George Thatcher, Hon. Theo. Sedgwick.
NEW-YORK, June 16.
By a gentleman of distinguished character, just arrived from New-Hampshire, we have received the very agreeable intelligence, that the Convention of that State, which met on the 17th instant, will unquestionably adopt the New Constitution.
While our latest accounts from Virginia are of the most flattering nature, an additional ray of satisfaction must bid forth and pervade the countenance of every friend to union and good government, on being informed that our prospects from New-Hampshire wear also the most flattering aspect.
On Saturday last sailed for Poughkeepsie, a sloop, on board of which was his excellency the Governor, and several members of the Convention. And in the afternoon another sailed for the same place, with passengers, among whom were the hon. James Duane, Judge Hobart, and other members of the State Convention.
As all or the greater part of the members of the Convention for the southern counties have gone for Poughkeepsie, it is expected there will be a quorum to-morrow, which is the day appointed for the meeting of the Convention.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated June 6. "The Governor has declared he will support the Constitution—he spoke for three hours to-day before he sat down."
The following is copied from the Supplement to the Virginia Gazette, dated Petersburg, June 5. "By the brig Caesar, captain Atkinson, from Barcelona, now lying at City-Point, information is received, that in consequence of the governor of Gibraltar refusing the Algerines liberty to have two vessels stationed there, without orders from his majesty for that purpose, they took offence, inasmuch as to make reprisals of several British vessels; that the British frigates were cruising off Algiers in such numbers, as to prevent the Algerine corsairs coming out; that although the vessels had Mediterranean passes, it had become a custom among the captains to capture themselves; and that the Caesar was convoyed several days by a British frigate. This we have from a gentleman of veracity, who had it from the captain's own mouth."
On Tuesday, the 2d of June inst. his excellency the Governor of Massachusetts met the two branches of the Legislature, convened in the Representatives' chamber, and delivered the following speech.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
THE complete restoration, and perfect establishment of peace and tranquility, within the State, leaves me but little to offer, except my most cordial congratulations on these interesting and important events; and I am fully convinced that the satisfaction you will derive from these considerations, cannot be inferior to my own. I mean not, Gentlemen, by any observations of mine, to lead to an unprofitable disquisition of those causes, which have principally contributed to this pleasing situation of our affairs, as it would but serve to awaken emotions, which are as painful, as they are natural; and which if possible, I earnestly pray may be for ever buried in oblivion.
I shall direct the Secretary to lay before you a letter which I have had the pleasure of receiving from the Delegates of this State, in Congress, for your information, with respect to the objects of a public nature which now engage the attention of that Hon. Body. It is with pleasure that I find so large a part of the domestic debt of these United States in a way to be discharged by the sale of the Federal Lands.
Certain events which have recently taken place in the military department, have induced me to call your attention to the laws for regulating the militia of this government. Upon this subject, however, I shall request your consideration by a separate message, and I flatter myself you will see the necessity of some alteration in them.
tivation of these virtues alone, that we can repair the waste and ravages of war, and place our affairs on such a permanent basis, as I think we have a right to expect from our free and excellent Constitution of Government, as well as from the fertility of our soil, and the happy temperature of our climate.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. AS I have been honored by the highest mark of the public confidence, in being again called, by the unselected suffrages of my fellow-citizens, to sustain the first office in the government, I must beg leave to assure you, that no exertion on my part shall be wanting to fulfil those expectations which they have a right to form; and however intricate and important the duties annexed to my station may be considered, I have a firm hope, from the known abilities and unshaken integrity of those gentlemen by you appointed as a Council to assist me, that the Executive department will be conducted in such a manner as will operate to the support and honor of the government and to the satisfaction and happiness of the people.
JOHN HANCOCK.
Convent Chamber, June 31, 1788.
Answer to the Governor's Speech.
In SENATE, June 5, 1788.
Ordered, That Caleb Strong, Charles Turner, Tristram Dalton, and Josiah Thacher, Esquires, with such as the Honorable House may join, be a Committee to wait on his Excellency the Governor, with the following answer to his Excellency's Speech, at the opening of the session.
Sent down for concurrence, SAMUEL PHILIPS, jun. President.
In the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, June 5, 1788.
Read and concurred, and Mr. Parsons, Dr. Jarvis, Mr. Paine, Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Spooner, are joined. THEODORE SEDGWICK, Speaker.
May it please your Excellency, THE two branches of the Legislature have attended to your Excellency's Address at the opening of the present session, and, with the greatest pleasure, contemplate with you the complete restoration and perfect establishment of the public peace and tranquility; and we allure your Excellency, that no measures, on our part, will be neglected, which may tend to restore an harmony of sentiment among the citizens, and a union of exertion, to continue and establish the blessings of good order and regular government, which are now happily diffused through the commonwealth.
Permit us to congratulate your Excellency, on the prospect, that a large part of the domestic debt of the United States will soon be discharged by the sale of the federal lands, and of the diminution of our State debt, by the disposition of our western territory, made the preceding year. At the same time, we lament the extreme fluctuation in the value of our public securities, which, with your excellency, we believe injurious to the government, and mortifying and destructive to our creditors.
To facilitate the attainment of this important object we hope to lessen our public expenditures, and by a diligent and unremitted attention to the duties of our department, render our sessions as short, as the public exigencies will admit.
But the revenue of the Commonwealth, is not the only object that demands our consideration: Our prosperity and security depends also, on the real efficiency of a well regulated militia; and every defect in the laws for regulating it, pointed out by your Excellency, or that we may discover, will be entitled to our diligent attention.
We feel ourselves obliged to your Excellency, for your confidence in our patriotism, and disposition to promote the general happiness: and your Excellency may rest assured, that we shall omit nothing in our power, to encourage and protect literature, and the arts and manufactures of the country, and to promote industry and economy, and the practice of every virtue, moral and political, which may advance the honor and reputation of this State in particular, and of the United States in general, and secure to ourselves and to posterity, the benefits of our independence, and the blessings of freedom.
Your Excellency will please to receive our warmest gratulations, on your re-appointment to sustain the first office in this commonwealth, and we entertain the most pleasing expectations, from the reciprocal and merited confidence subsisting in the executive department, and, as we trust, from the earnest disposition of the Legislature to co-operate in every measure calculated to advance the public interest, that every department of government will unite their exertions, in supporting the honor of the commonwealth and in providing for the safety and happiness of her citizens.

Proceedings of the Convention of Virginia, Thursday, June 5, 1788.
THE Convention, according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a Committee of the whole Convention, to take into further consideration the proposed Constitution of Government for the United States; and after some time spent therein, Mr. President resumed the Chair, and Mr. Wythe reported, that the Committee had, accept-
ing to order, again had the said proposed Constitution under their consideration, and made a farther progress therein; but not having time to go through the same, had directed him to move the Convention to leave to sit again.

And then the Convention adjourned until to-morrow morning, ten o'clock.
In the new volume of Edinburgh Philosophical Transactions are many new and interesting articles, particularly Mr. Collins's Ode on the popular superstition of the highlands of Scotland, communicated by Dr. Carlyle, in Collins's own writing. Dr. Johnson, in his life of Collins, praises it highly, and expresses his fear that it is lost; fortunately, however, this valuable fragment remains, and will give pleasure to the lovers of poetry. There are some stanzas that have been supplied by Dr. Carlyle. As a specimen we insert the 13th and last stanzas.
STANZA XIII.
All hail, ye scenes that o'er my soul prevail, Ye spacious firths, and lakes, which, far away, Are by smooth Annan fill'd or opal-tinted Tray, Or Don's romantic springs, and distance hail!
The time shall come when I, perhaps, may tread Your lowly glens, o'erhung with spreading broom, Or o'er your stretching heaths by fancy led.
Then will I dress once more the Pudding-bower, Where Johnson sat, in Drummond's social shade, Or crop from Tiviot's dale each classic flower, And mourn on Yarrow's banks "the widow'd maid."
Mean time Ye powers, that on the plains which bore
The cordial youth, on Lothian's plains attend, Where'er he dwell, on hill or lowly muir, To him I love, your kind protection lend, And, touch'd with love like mine, preserve my absent friend.
From the Dublin Gazette.

The Masters will make it their particular care to preserve good order and decorum, during the hours of instruction. 3. The Master will make it his study to fulfil the object of his engagement. 4. Terms of tuition in both branches, forty shillings per quarter, and twenty shillings entrance. Such ladies who choose to encourage this undertaking, will be properly instructed in painting on silk of every kind. The undertakers hope for the countenance of the public, and it will be their unremitted study to deserve the patronage of those who may please to honor them with the commands. N. B. Those who would wish to be further informed of this plan, may be satisfied by enquiring of Mrs. Vandervert, No. 28, Maiden-Lane.
French and Drawing School
FOR YOUNG GENTLEMEN,
No. 39, Smith-street.
PARENTS and Guardians who desire to have their children instructed in the polite accomplishments of French and Drawing, may rest assured that no pains shall be spared to instruct them in the proper principles, with exactness.
Young gentlemen are admitted till the age of 14; and as the Master intends to make the improvement of his scholars his sole study, the price of tuition will be as above.
The young gentlemen will be taught three times a week; the Master also proposes every Saturday to read passages from some celebrated French author, in order to accustom his scholars to the pronunciation of the language; and as soon as they have made some progress in the language, no English will be spoke during school hours.
FRENCH translated into English, and English into French, with accuracy and dispatch; Gentlemen of either nation confiding their most private concerns in this line, as above, may depend on the most inviolable secrecy and honor, and on the most reasonable terms. May 15. th m. tf.
