FRANKFORT, sur le Main , March 15.
The Imperial Monarchs will find the war they have engaged in, a more serious business than they imagine; for it is certain that the Turks behave with the greatest courage, and literally dispute every inch of ground. It is true they have taken 17 forts from the latter, but at the loss of so many men, that a few more such conquests would tend to ruin them.
L O N D O N, April 3-8.
Mr. Adams, the late Envoy from the American States, set off for Portsmouth on Sunday last, to embark on his return. That gentleman settled all his concerns with great honor; and whatever his political tenets might have been, he was much respected and esteemed in this country. His salary was 2000. per ann. He could not do with a smaller sum, and it was found not very convenient for the States to continue the payment. This is the sole cause of his return. A Consul only will be appointed in his stead.
The preparation over all the North of Ireland, for emigrating to America, is truly alarming: not less than 600 passengers have engaged to sail aboard one vessel, the Alexander, Captain Pinkerton, now lying at Londonderry.
On Saturday morning John Symmons, Esq. of Grosvenor-house, had a mummy displayed there by Mr. John Hunter, at which were present Dr. Brocklesby, and others of the faculty, with several of the Literati .
The origin of this mummy was supposed to be that of an Egyptian Princess, to about three thousand years old; but as to the particulars of her life no information is to be derived either from history or tradition. In the language of surgery, however, she cut up well, and corroborated other experiments of the mode of performing these very extraordinary instances of human preservation.
As soon as the ceremony of the operation was over, the remains of her Royal Highness were carefully deposited in a box, and the company, after the custom of ancient funerals, dined together, and afterwards poured libations to her memory.
The flesh of mummies is reckoned very useful in some medical preparations, and at times brings a very high price.
—APRIL 9.—
The present Minister seems determined to tax the luxuries of life—the tobacco trade is speedily to be put under the excise—that will be followed by an excise on sugars, which must produce an immense revenue.
Letters from Hamburg, dated the 21st ult. say, that a great majority of the burghers of Dantzick have determined to deliver up that city to the Prussian Monarch, deeming it the surest and most effectual method to re-establish the ruined commerce of that once flourishing port.
Particulars of the unfortunate loss of the Ganges, Capt. Fraser, bound from Bengal to Madras and China, on the 23d of May, 1787, near the Barra Ballin.
A leak had been discovered the day before, but whilst the vessel could be kept afloat by the pumps no danger was apprehended; in the evening, however, unfortunately, the pumps were rendered useless, from being choked with rice, of which the cargo consisted. From this moment nothing but the most dismal prospect presented itself. By two o'clock the vessel had taken ground, and was lying on her beam ends, the masts alone was above water; a little before this period, Mr. Corbett (who, with his wife, an amiable young lady, known in the settlement, and universally respected, were among the passengers) went down to Mrs. Corbett's cabin, and in as gentle a manner as possible, apprised her of their dangerous situation; she immediately comprehended the whole of its extent, to which the noise and bustle unavoidable on such an occasion had been a dreadful prelude, and with a coolness and composure, which would have done credit to a hero, and for which, in situations of imminent danger, females have been frequently remarkable, she assured Mr. Corbett she was ready to take every step for her preservation, which he should suggest, and prepared with him to meet whatever might be her fate; with this determination they got up into the top, where for some time they remained, till a very heavy sea immersed the mast into the water with such violence, as to oblige them all to quit their hold, except a Mr. Brown, one of the passengers, who generously leaped into the sea, with an intention to save Mrs. Corbett, and perished in the attempt. Poor Mrs. Corbett was seen no more; Mr. Corbett, after having been buffeted by the billows for a considerable time, and extremely bruised by beating against different parts of the wreck, was picked up by the Pilot Schooner in a state of insensibility, from which at length he recovered, to experience all the miseries which a mind in possession of its powers can possibly feel in the horrors of such a situation. There were in all 113 persons on board, out of which 48 were saved.
The following are the names of the gentlemen who were unfortunately lost on this occasion:—Moffat, Gardner, Brown, McIntyre, Jun. Boulden, and Joseph; Lieutenants Warren and Nuttal.
An extraordinary instance of fortitude and humanity, shown by one of the officers of the Ganges, deserves being recorded. After having with difficulty preserved his own life, and got on board the said Schooner, he requested the pilot to lend him his aid with some men, who objected, on account of the imminent danger to which his men would be exposed; the gentleman then gallantly offered to take the boat himself, which he did, and was the means of preserving several lives.
—APRIL 8.—
As the trial of Mr. Hastings cannot be finished this session, it is said, Parliament will adjourn as soon as the public business is finished; and will meet again in October, in order to resume the trial.
It must afford great satisfaction to every friend of this country, to find that the public revenue has been for three or four years past in a progressive state of improvement, and that the amount of the last year's taxes exceeded that of the former, by no less a sum than 533,000. besides which large sums have been received from army agents and accountants, which together will make a great surplus.
What a difference there is between this country and France! The first has a surplus of nearly a million sterling, and the latter is deficient in the last year's account to the amount of 185,000 million of livres, near eight millions sterling.
K I N G S T O N, (Jamaica) April 19.
We hear from the Windward Islands, that his Royal Highness Prince William Henry, in the Pegagus frigate, arrived at St. Vincent's, from Plymouth, about three weeks ago, and we are given to understand, that his Highness has received official directions to proceed to the island of Jamaica without delay.
By the latest advices from the Bay of Honduras, we are informed, that the inhabitants of that infant colony have laid a tax of two and a half per cent. upon all dry goods which may hereafter be imported into that country.
N E W P O R T, May 29.
A correspondent observes, that when he reflects that we live in a free and independent land, where the untethered press is ever ready to communicate to the world every production that may have a tendency to render the mind equally independent, by exciting it to abandon the obscure cavern of ignorance, for that refined, and delightful atmosphere, the knowledge of our country's good;—when he thus reflects, and recognizes the numerous evils which this State groans under, for want of an energetic government, which will give to us a more wise administration, he is sure that the pens of our most penetrating and ingenious politicians will not be dormant, but continue to blaze in the face of day those characters who are unfriendly to the New Constitution, and those who have bro't this State into its present confusion.—Proceed then, ye virtuous MINORITY, to discountenance every species of fraud and injustice,—the honest heart will reverence your names, and posterity will applaud your characters—for not withstanding that vestal goddess—Independence, pervades our land; yet the task belongs to every patriotic soul to maintain that freedom, peace and happiness.
Sailed last Monday, in the Peggy, Captain Lawton, for New-York, the Hon. Jonathan Hazard, Esq. Delegate from this State to the Congress of the United States.
B O S T O N, June 2.
A correspondent begs leave to enquire, whether (as money has greatly appreciated of late, and rents provision, &c. are very much reduced in price) it would not discover a proper sense of the distresses of their fellow citizens, if the physicians and surgeons of this town, should reduce their fees, from the present rate—which are by many considered so high, that extreme danger alone, is sufficient to induce many to employ a doctor.
After the choice of the Lieutenant Governor, on Thursday, the two branches met in convention for the purpose of electing nine councillors for advising the Governor in the executive parts of government the present year, and the Hon. Nathan Cushing, *Azor Orne, Jonathan Greenleaf, Edward Guttis, *Samuel Adams, *John Bliss, *William Phillips, *Eleazer Brooks, and Samuel Baker, Esquires, were elected by a large majority of votes—six of whom on Friday qualified themselves, and took their seats at the Hon. Board. [Those Gentlemen with this mark * are new Councillors.]
The Hon. Eleazer Brooks, Esq. having declined accepting a seat in the Hon. Council, the Hon. Nathaniel Gorham, Esquire, was yesterday elected in his room.
N E W - Y O R K, June 10.
Mons. Brussenot, the French naturalist, (says a London paper) has discovered and proved to a certainty, that eels are covered with small scales only perceptible by a very good microscope. This discovery, which is not indeed entirely new, may prove unfortunate to this species; for the Jews do not eat of it, because they are forbidden to eat fish without scales.
Anecdotes from Mr. Gilpin's Observations on the Lakes of Cumberland, &c. in the year 1782. Speaking of a little village called Patterdale, in Cumberland, Mr. Gilpin says, "that the great simplicity of this country, and that rigid temperance and economy which necessity enjoins to all its inhabitants, may be exemplified by the following little story:
"A clergyman of the name of Mattison was minister of this place 60 years, and died lately at the age of 90.—During the early part of his life, his benefice brought him in only 12. a year. It was afterwards increased (I suppose by the Queen's bounty) to 18. which it never exceeded. On this income he married—brought up four children—lived comfortably among his neighbours—educated a son, I believe, at college, and left upwards of 1000. behind him. With that singularity, simplicity, and intention to forms, which characterize a country life, he himself read the burial service over his mother, he married his father to a second wife, and afterwards buried him also. He published his own banns of marriage in the church with a woman he had formerly christened, and himself married all his four children.
Married, on Sunday evening last, the Hon. Mr. FEW, Delegate in Congress from Georgia, to Miss NICHOLSON, daughter of Commodore Nicholson, of this city.
Married, on Saturday the 31st May, at Rhynbeck, by the Rev. Mr. De Witt, Mr. PHILIP J. SCHUYLER, son of General Schuyler, of Albany, to Miss SALLY RUTSEN, of Rhynbeck.

From JEFFERSON'S NOTES.
BEFORE we condemn the Indians of this continent as wanting genius, we must consider that letters have not yet been introduced among them; were we to compare them in their present state, with the Europeans, North of the Alps, when the Roman arms and arts first crossed those mountains, the comparison would be unequal—because, at that time, those parts of Europe were swarming with numbers, because numbers produce emulation, and multiply the chances of improvement, and one improvement begets another, yet I may safely ask, how many good poets, how many able mathematicians, how many great inventors in arts and sciences, had Europe, North of the Alps, then produced; and it was sixteen centuries after this, before a Newton could be formed. I do not mean to deny, that there are varieties in the race of man, distinguished by their powers both of mind and body—I believe there are, as I see to be the case in the races of other animals; I only mean to suggest a doubt, whether the bulk and faculties of animals depend on the side of the Atlantic on which their food happens to grow, or which furnishes the elements of which they are compounded; whether nature has enlisted herself as a Cis, or Trans-Atlantic
partizan? I am induced to suspect, there has been more eloquence than sound reasoning, displayed in support of this theory—that it is 'one of those cases, where the judgment has been reduced by a glowing pen; and whilst I render every tribute of honor and esteem to the celebrated Zoologist, who has added, and is still adding, to many precious things to the treasures of science, I must doubt, whether in this instance, he has not cherished error, also, by lending her for a moment his vivid imagination and bewitching language.
So far the Count de Buffon has carried this new theory of the tendency of nature, to belittle her productions on this side the Atlantic. Its application to the race of whites, transplanted from Europe, remained for the Abbe Raynal. "On doit entre autre chose (he says) que l'Amérique, n'ait pas encore produit un bon poète, un habile mathématicien, un homme de génie, dans un art, une seule science; 7. Hist. Philos. p. 92. ed. Macartney, 1774." America has not yet produced one good poet; when we shall have excited as a people as long as the Greeks did before they produced a Homer—the Romans a Virgil—the French a Racine and Voltaire—the English, a Shakespeare and Milton—should this reproach be still true, we will enquire from what unfriendly cause it has proceeded, that the other countries of Europe, and quarters of the earth, shall not have inscribed any name in the roll of poets.
But neither has America produced "one able mathematician, one man of genius in a single art or a single science." In war we have produced a Washington, whose memory will be adored, while liberty shall have votaries, whose name will triumph over time, and will in future ages, assume its just station among the most celebrated worthies of the world—when that wretched philosophy shall be forgotten, which would have arranged him among the degeneracies of nature. In physics, we have produced a Franklin, than whom no one of the present age has made more important discoveries, nor has enriched philosophy with more, or more ingenious solutions of the phenomena of nature; we have supposed Mr. Rittenhouse second to no astronomer living—that in genius he must be the first, because he is self-taught, as an artist, he has exhibited as great a proof of mechanical genius as the world has ever produced. But he has by imitation approached nearer its maker, than any man who has lived from the creation to this day.
As in philosophy and war, so in government, in oratory, in painting, in plastic art, we might show that America, though but a child of yesterday, has already given hopeful proofs of genius, as well of the nobler kinds, which arouse the best feelings of man, which call him into action, which substantiate his freedom, and conduct him to happiness, as of the subordinate, which serve to amuse him only. We therefore suppose, that this reproach is as unjust as its unkind—and that of the geniuses which adorn the present age, America contributes its full share. For comparing it with those countries, where genius is most cultivated, where are the most excellent models for art, and standpoints for attainment of science, as France and England, for instance, we calculate thus.—The United States contain three millions of inhabitants—France twenty millions; and the British ten.—We produce a Washington, a Franklin, a Rittenhouse; France then, should have half a dozen in each of these lines, and Great-Britain half that number, equally eminent. It may be true, that France has as we are just becoming acquainted with her, and our acquaintance so far, gives us high ideas of the genius of her inhabitants. It would be injuring too many of them to name particularly, a Voltaire, a Buffon, the constellation of Encyclopedists, the Abbe Raynal himself, &c. &c. We therefore have reason to believe she can produce her full quota of genius. The present war having cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which the wages war, is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or civilization.—The sun of her glory is fast descending to the horizon. Her philosophy has crossed the channel—her freedom the Atlantic—and herself seems palling to that awful dissolution, whose issues not given human foresight to scan.
In a later edition of the Abbe Raynal's works, he has withdrawn his censure "from that part of the new world, inhabited by the Federal Americans; but has left it still on the other parts. North America has always been more accessible to strangers than South; if he was mistaken then, as to the former, he may be so as to the latter. The glimmerings which reach us from South America, enable us only to see that its inhabitants are held under the accumulated pressure of slavery, ignorance and ignorance. Whenever they shall be able to rise under this weight, and to show themselves to the rest of the world, they will probably they are like the rest of the world. We have not yet sufficient evidence that there are more lakes and fogs in South-America, than in other parts of the earth. As little do we know what would be their operation on the mind of man.—The country has been visited by Spaniards and Portuguese chiefly, and almost exclusively—these going from a country of the old world, remarkably dry in its soil and climate, fancied there were more lakes and fogs in South-America, than in Europe—an inhabitant of Ireland, Sweden, or Finland, would have formed a contrary opinion.—Had South-America then been discovered and settled by a people from a feny country, it would probably have been represented as much drier than the old world. A patient pursuit of facts, and cautious combination and comparison of them, is the drudgery, to which man is subjected by his maker, if he wishes to attain sure knowledge."
Has the world as yet produced more than two poets, acknowledged to be such by all nations.—An Englishman, only, reads Milton with delight—an Italian, Tasso—a Frenchman, the Henriade—a Portuguese, Camoens.—But Homer and Virgil, have been the rapture of every age and nation: they are read with enthusiasm, in their originals, by those who can read the originals, and in translations, by those who cannot.
There are various ways of keeping truth out of sight—Mr. Rittenhouse's model of the Planetary system, has the plagiary appellation of an Orrery—and the quadrant invented by Godfrey, an American also, and with the aid of which the European nations traverse the globe, is called Hadley's quadrant.
ADDRESS to the Honorable the Members of the CONVENTION of VIRGINIA.
(Said to be written by Tench Coxe, Esq.)
(Continued from yesterday's paper.)
THE rejection of the "government by the State of Virginia, should eight States have previously adopted it, is a matter (permit me respectfully to observe) the possible consequences of which should be most seriously considered. Should a ninth State ratify the Constitution, after you have declined to do so, it will it will become a binding compact—an operative system. The American States would deeply regret a circumstance, that should place a most respectable member of the present union, and a natural born-elder sister, in the character of an alien; and a late and reluctant a-
doption, not arising altogether from free choice and national affection, would exceedingly abate that cordial joy, which will flow throughout the land, at the early adoption of the proposed Constitution by your ancient State, whence the first call to independence was boldly given, and whence first arose this great attempt to cement and invigorate the union.
The United States, whatever has been the cause of past events, may certainly be the cause of great respectability and power. But such is the effect of our distracted politics, and of the feebleness of our general government, that foreign powers openly declare their unwillingness to treat with us, while our affairs remain on the present footing. However favorable or friendly they may think our intentions towards them, they know we have not constitutional powers to execute our own desires, even within our own dominions. "Senators of no inconsiderable reputation in the British Parliament have told the world, they can make no fixed arrangements with us, under the present confederation. The Ministers of France, which nation has lately evinced the continuance of her friendship, by new privileges to our trade, declare they cannot proceed to the extent of their desires, since no power exists to treat upon national ground. The Court of Spain, too, however they might be influenced by a firm and respectable union, will never listen to our demands for the navigation of the Mississippi, while we remain in our present unconnected situation. We are no object even of respect to them, much less of apprehension; and should the present Constitution be rejected, they will laugh at all future attempts to continue for intangible union. Our Minister, at that Court, expects to effect no arrangements there, without an efficient government being first adopted here.
It has been objected to the proposed Federal Constitution, that it tends to render our country more vulnerable, by admitting the further importation of slaves. To persons not accurately acquainted with the whole of the American Constitutions, this objection may appear of weight. But when it is canvassed before an enlightened assembly as the Convention of Virginia, the mistake will be instantly discovered. It will be remembered that ten of the States, and Virginia among the number, have already prohibited the further importation of slaves, and that the powers of the legislature of each State, even after the adoption of the Constitution, will not only remain competent to the prohibition of the slave trade, but (if they find the measure wise and safe) to the emancipation of the slaves already among us. It may be added further, that the exercise of this power of the State governments can in no wise be controuled or restrained by the Federal Legislature.
Should the present attempt to infuse new vigor into the general government fail of success, partial confederations must at once follow. The States on the Delaware, central in their situation, and (though not superabundantly rich) perfectly independent in their resources, will find themselves bound together by their position on the globe, by a perfect similarity of manners and interests, by the preservation of their common peace and safety, and by the innumerable ties of blood and marriage subsisting between them. A frank and liberal concession of the impost on the part of Pennsylvania, will render the inducements complete. The sentiments of the State of Maryland on the proposed government and their existing connections with Pennsylvania and Delaware, from each of which they are divided only by an imaginary line, will turn their inclinations that way. Rather than connect themselves with a Southern country, between which and which is rendered vulnerable, by two hundred and eighty thousand slaves, they will find it prudent, as well as agreeable, to join their Northern neighbors. Should Pennsylvania offer to aggrandize the ports of Maryland by opening to her the extensive navigation of the Susquehanna, whose various branches water many millions of acres of fertile lands, prudence and interest will powerfully persuade Maryland to join the middle confederacy. Should the dated connection be liberal and just, accession of very considerable importance may be hoped for from the Northern and Southern States. What particular benefits then can Virginia reasonably expect from that dissolution of the confederacy, which must follow the rejection of the proposed plan?
The various parts of the North American continent are formed by nature for the most intimate communication between the ports of Georgia and New Hampshire infinitely more expeditious and practicable, than between those of Provence and Picardy, in France; Cornwall and Carmel, in Great Britain; or Galicia and Galabana, in Spain. The canals, proposed at South-key, Junction from the Carolinas, to the Western Counties of Pennsylvania and New-York. The improvements of the Potomack will give a passage from those Southern States to the Western parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and even to the lakes. The canals of Delaware and Chesapeake will open the communication from South Carolina to New-Jersey, Delaware, the most populous parts of Pennsylvania, and the midland counties of New-York. These important works might be effected for two hundred thousand guineas, and America would thereby be converted into a cluster of large and fertile islands, easily communicating with each other, without expense, and, in many instances, voice of nature therefore directs us to be affectionate associates in peace, and firm supporters in war. As we cannot mistake her intentions, to disobey them would be criminal.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in- tends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfac- tion to those who may please to employ him, (sig- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain and down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment 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, men, to the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in which man- ner, as that every subscriber's chimney shall be for- guarly swept once every month, for ofener if requi- red, 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 or else, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th.

To the honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York.
The Petition of the subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh, in the Patent of Stone Arabia, in the county of Albany, Most humbly sheweth,
THAT the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, or the major part of them, have, at great expence, purchased lots of ground in the said town, and made settlements and improvements thereon, for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade and commerce, and promoting the population of that part of the country.
That experience has taught your petitioners, that the regulation of the internal police of the said town, by the votes of the freeholders and inhabitants, or by a committee by them annually chosen for the purpose, is attended with great difficulties and embarrassments, which daily increase and multiply.
That the said freeholders and inhabitants, for want of being incorporated, cannot obtain a grant of a considerable tract of land, which has been generously promised to them, as common for fuel and pasture, for the use and benefit of the said freeholders and inhabitants, by means whereof their prosperity and mercantile prospects may be greatly diminished.
For remedy whereof, and in order to answer the beneficial purposes intended by your petitioners, they are desirous that the freeholders and inhabitants, residing within the following boundaries and limits, may be incorporated, viz. Beginning at a certain pitch-pine stump, standing on the east bank of Hudson's river, opposite the mouth of Whale Island, and running from thence S. 69, E. 178 chains, as far as the same was run and settled between Stephen Van Rassellear, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence N. 19, 45, E. 286 chains and 50 links, as the same was also run and settled between Stephen Van Rassellear, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence W. to the mouth of the Herkberg Kill, at Hudson's river, to low water mark, as the magnetic needle pointed in the year 1760; and from thence down along the river, until opposite the said stump, and from thence to the said stump.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that an act may be passed, to incorporate the freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid, by the name of the Trustees of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh.
That the trustees to be named in the said act may be five, to wit: Abraham Jacob Lansing, John Van Rassellear, Joronus Hoogland, Flores Bunker, Elijah Jones, Aaron Ward, and John G. Yates.
That the freeholders and inhabitants aforesaid may be enabled annually to choose seven trustees, to keep up a regular succession: That the name of Aaron Lane may be inserted in the said act, as clerk of the said town; Christopher Tillman, Esq. as treasurer; and David Henry, as marshal; and that their successors in office may likewise be annually chosen as aforesaid: And that the Legislature will be pleased to grant such powers, jurisdictions, and privileges to the trustees of the said town, and for the regulation of its internal police, as the legislature in their wisdom shall deem meet and expedient.
And your petitioners will ever pray.
Signed by AB. JACOB LANSING , And above 100 others, Freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits above described. Lansingburgh, March 8. 1788.
In ASSEMBLY, March 11th, 1788.
Resolved, if the Honorable the Senate concur herein, that Abraham Jacob Lansing and other Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, in the town of Rensselaerwyck in the County of Albany, have leave to present to either House of the Legislature on the second Monday after a quorum of both houses shall be convened at their next meeting, after the first Monday in July next, a Bill to incorporate the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, provided, that the petitioners do cause a copy of their said petition, and a copy of this resolution, to be published six weeks successively in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of New-York, and in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of Albany, to the end, that any person who may conceive his interest affected thereby, may appear at the Bar of either house, and shew cause against the passing such bill.
