Mr. PRINTER,
The following Copy of VERSES came accidentally into my hands:—I am told it was written by Captain FRENEAU, and addressed to a Young QUAKER LADY, that went Passenger in his Vessel to Georgia, to reside in the Western parts of that State. A. B.
THUS safe arriv'd, she greets the Strand, And leaves her pilot for the land— But, LYDIA, why to deserts roam, And thus forsake your floating home.
To what fond swain shall I resign, The bosom that shall ne'er be mine; Thine eyes, like diamonds, finely set In ivory—how shall I forget.
As o'er the seas with you I pray'd, The hostile winds our course delay'd; But, proud to wait a charge so fair, To me were kind—and held you there.
I could not grieve when you complain'd That adverse gales our barque detain'd, Where foaming seas to mountains grow, On gulph's of death conceal'd below.
With timorous heart and wat'ry eyes, You saw the vast Atlantic rise— Saw wintry seas their storms prepare, And wept to find no safety there.
Throughout the long December's night, (While till your lamp was burning bright) To dawn of day, from evening's close, My pensive girl found no repose.
When travelling o'er that lonely wave To me your fey'rish hand you gave, And, sighing, bade me tell you true, What lands again would rise to view?
When night came on with bluff'ring gales, You fear'd the tempest would prevail, And anxious ask'd, if I was sure, That on those depth's we sail'd secure.
Delighted with a face so fair, I half forgot my weight of care, And saw, unmov'd the whirlwind rise, Encircled moons, and threatening skies.
Then now, at length, arriv'd from sea, Content, kind girl, to stay with me— The barque, full faithful to her freight, Shall still on your direction wait.
To all your questions, when or why, I still will make a kind reply— Give all you ask—each whim allow, And change my file to thee and thine.
If verse can life to beauty give, For ages I can make you live; Beyond the stars, triumphant rise, While ORION's tomb neglected lies.
Then, LYDIA, why our barque forsake, The road to western deserts take? That lad, on which hung half my bliss, Some savage now will bend to kiss:
Some rustic fool, with fierce attack, Shall force his arms about that neck, And you, perhaps, will weeping come To seek—in vain—your floating home.

SLAVE TRADE.
Sketch of the Debate which took place in the HOUSE of COMMONS, on Friday, May 9, 1788, upon the Motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said,
HE rose to move a resolution which related to the Slave Trade, but it would prove likely to create a debate, or occasion a discussion of any length, which he scarcely thought possible, he would put it off till another day, being extremely desirous that the interesting business which stood for the determination and decision of the House on that day, should be delayed as little as possible. The resolution he meant to move related to the Slave Trade, a subject that it was evident, from the great number and variety of petitions that had been presented to that House respecting it, had engaged the public attention to a very considerable extent, and consequently deserved the most serious notice from that House, who thus called upon, were bound to take some measure respecting it. But whatever was done on such a subject, every gentleman must agree, ought to be done with the maturest deliberation. Two opinions had prevailed without doors, as appeared from the language of the different petitions: It had been pretty generally thought that the African Trade ought to be put a stop to—others, however, had thought it only stood in need of some new regulations, but all had agreed that it ought not to remain as it stood at present. All the circumstances of it in point of fact, and the consequences that would necessarily result from any measure that might be adopted, would without doubt call for much consideration and discussion, but what these circumstances were, and what those consequences were likely to be, as well as what other relations on the subject there might be of an independent nature, were what it appeared to him to be improper to discuss then, as it would be impossible, from the advanced period of the session, and from the want of proper materials for the full information of the House, to go into the examination at large at present. The subject had better be discussed when it might produce some useful debate, and when that enquiry that had been instituted by his Majesty's Ministers elsewhere, should be brought to such a state of maturity, as to make it fit that the result of it be laid before the House, in order to facilitate their investigation, and enable them the better to proceed to a decision that should be equally founded in principles of humanity, justice, and sound policy. As there was not a probability of reaching so desirable an end, in the state of the business as it then stood, he meant to move a resolution to pledge the House to proceed to a discussion early in the next session. A notice the House would remember had been given early in the present session by an Hon. Friend of his, who had been prevented from attending his duty there by an unfortunate and severe indisposition, as in the hands of his Hon. Friend, every measure of humanity and national interest, it would be believed, be generally agreed, was most likely to be advantageously placed, he hoped that his Honorable Friend would be able next session to resume his charge, and take upon himself the task of bringing the subject forward. Indeed he had every reason to matter himself that there was but little doubt of that being the case, but should it unfortunately happen, that his Hon. Friend should not be sufficiently recovered to be able to attend, he pledged himself to bring forward some propositions himself upon the subject; but the House would observe, that he had studiously avoided giving any opinion, or arguing even at any opinion, that he might be supposed to entertain respecting it; as it was not polite to go into the discussion then, he thought it much wiser not to broach an opinion till the moment of discussion should arrive. Mr. Pitt concluded with moving, (after having had the names of the towns, &c. that the petitions came from, read).
"That this House will, early in the next session of Parliament, proceed to take into consideration the circumstances of the Slave Trade, complained of in the said petitions, and what may be fit to be done thereupon."
Mr. Fox declared that what the Right Hon. Gentleman had said, laid him under very considerable embarrassment. He had himself considered the subject very minutely, and it had been his intention to have brought something forward in that House respecting it; but when he heard that an Hon. Gentleman (one of the Members for Yorkshire) had resolved to take it up, he was unaffectionately rejoiced, not only knowing that Gentleman's purity of principles and sincere love for the rights of humanity, but because, from a variety of considerations, as to the characters and situations in which different men stood in that House, that there was something that made him honestly think it was better that the business should be in the hands of the Hon. Gentleman than in his, and that it was much more likely to come from the Hon. Gentleman with more weight, more authority, and more probability of success than it could do from him. Having premised this, Mr. Fox said, as so many petitions, and those signed by such numbers of names of persons of the most respectable characters had been presented, he was extremely sorry that it had been found impossible that the subject of them could not be taken up this year. He certainly could not impute it as a matter of blame that the case had not been otherwise, and lamented, as every Gentleman must do, the absence of the Hon. Gentleman who had undertaken to bring it forward, and still more the cause of that absence. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said, he thought there were circumstances that might happen by the next year, that would make it more advisable and advantageous to take it up than it would have been to enter upon it in the present session. In answer to this he must declare, it was his opinion that no such circumstance could happen. From one part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech he presumed it was the enquiry into the subject that had been instituted by the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council, that was alluded to, as the source to which that House was to look up for some necessary information. To the justness and propriety of that proposition he must give a flat denial, because there could be no information laid before that House, through the medium of the Lords of the Privy Council, that could not much more advantageously have been obtained by that House, had they themselves instituted an enquiry. It was their duty to advise the King, and not to ask his advice. This the constitution had laid down as one of its most essential principles, and though in the present instance he saw no cause for blame, because he was persuaded his Majesty's Ministers had not acted with any ill intention, it was a principle that ought never to be departed from, because it never could be departed from, without establishing a precedent that might lead to very serious abuse. He lamented, that the Privy Council, who had received no petitions from the people on the subject, should have instituted an enquiry, and that the House of Commons, the table of which had been loaded with petitions from all parts of the kingdom, should not have instituted any enquiry at all. He hoped those petitions would have a fair discussion in that House, independent of any information that could be given the House by his Majesty's Ministers. He could not therefore help lamenting that the subject had not been brought forward earlier; when he said this, he was aware that the Hon. Member who had undertaken it was rendered incapable of attending the House; and he was also aware how unpleasant it must be for any one of that Hon. Gentleman's friends to be one to forward, and answered for him, by saying, that his health was such, he would not be able to attend during that session. It was certainly a very delicate thing to do, and what no Gentleman could easily bring himself, on any occasion, to stand up for, and declare. He did not, therefore, impute blame, any where on account of the delay, but he certainly lamented it extremely. A Right Hon. Gentleman, every way competent, had said that it was to be brought forward next session of Parliament, and that if his Hon. Friend could not then attend, he stood pledged to propose it himself. Surely it was somewhat strange that the Right Hon. Gent. had not given the House his sentiments on the subject, and the general view in which he meant to take it up. It was not a subject that was new, and on which Gentlemen had formed no opinion; but, on the contrary, a subject on which most men had formed some opinion or other. He wondered, therefore, the Right Hon. Gent. had not hinted what his opinion was. Had his Hon. Friend been able to have come to the House, and proposed postponing the business till next session, they would have derived another advantage from his presence, because the Honorable Gentleman would doubtless have stated to the House in what view he saw the subject, and in a general way described the nature of the project he meant to propose next session. The opinion of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to him, Mr. Fox said, he understood prima facie to be the same as his own. But what his intention was they knew not; with what view, and for what object he meant to bring the subject forward, he had left them completely in the dark. The Right Hon. Gent. had said, it had been a very general opinion, that the African Slave Trade should be but a stop to. Again he had said, others had not gone so far, but had given it as their opinion, that it required to be revised and regulated. Mr. Fox said, he had no scruple to declare in the onset, that his opinion was, the Slave Trade ought not to be regulated but destroyed. To this opinion his mind was pretty nearly made up, and he was persuaded, that the more the subject was considered, the more his opinion would gain ground, and it would be admitted, that to consider the subject in any other manner, and on any other principles than those of humanity and justice were idle and absurd. If there were any such men, and he did not know, but there were those, who led away by local and interested considerations, thought the Slave Trade might still continue under certain modifications, those men were the dupes of error, and mistook what they thought their interest, for what he would undertake to convince them was not their interest; since nothing could be the true interest of any description of men that revolted against the principles of justice and humanity. He said he would not oppose the question, if other Members thought it was best to let the consideration, important and pressing as it was, stand over to the next session, but he should have thought it still better if it had been brought on then. He again enumerated the superior advantages of an enquiry into such a subject, carried on within those walls, over an enquiry carried on before the Lords of the Council. In enquiries carried on in that House, they had the benefit of every circumstance of publicity, which was a most material benefit indeed, and that which of all others made the manner of conducting the Parliamentary Proceedings of Great Britain, the envy and admiration of all the world. An enquiry, there, was better than an Enquiry in any other place, however respectable the persons before and by whom it was carried on. There, all that could be said for the
Abolition or against the Abolition of the African Slave Trade, might be said. In that House every relative fact would have been produced, no information would have been withheld, no circumstance would have been omitted, that was necessary for elucidation, nothing would have been kept back! There were some subjects of enquiry fitter for the Privy Council to investigate; but there was no public question so fit for them as for that House to enquire into; that was a question of public importance, and therefore peculiarly proper for investigation before that popular assembly. Mr. Fox said, he did not know any political Question that could be considered in the abstract, or without a reference to the circumstances of the country. He took up the present subject from principles not only of justice and humanity, but from an investigation of those principles, and a consequent conviction that there could be no regulation founded in those principles, that would prove injurious to mere political considerations. Those mistaken men therefore, who, led away by the delusive ideas of self-interest, thought otherwise, had only to hear the case fairly argued, to lead them to subscribe to the conviction of the propriety of the maxim he had stated, and to own its truth in spite of the fallacies of those who argued from cold policy, and for what they called the prosperity of the country.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, nothing he had heard had satisfied him of the propriety of departing from that rule he had laid down for himself, of not only not offering, but studiously avoiding to offer any opinion on the subject, till the time should arrive when it could be fully argued. He thought that no discussion that could take place that session, could lead to any useful measure, and therefore he had wished not to argue it, till the whole of it could be argued. A day would come, when every Member would have an opportunity of stating his opinion, and he wished it might be discussed with a proper spirit on all sides, on fair and liberal principles, unhackled by mere local and self-interested considerations. The subject was broad and extensive, and it ought to be examined and looked at in every point of view. With regard to the inquiries instituted before the Committee of Privy Council, he was sure as soon as it became obvious that the subject must undergo a discussion, it was the duty of his Majesty's Ministers to set those enquiries on foot, which should best enable them to judge in what manner they could meet or offer any proposition, respecting the slave trade, most likely to prove generally advantageous to the public.
And although such previous enquiries by no means went to deprive that House of its undoubted right to institute their own enquiry, or preclude such enquiries, they would be found greatly to facilitate the enquiries of the House. But exclusive of that consideration, it would have been utterly impossible to have come to any discussion of the subject, that could have been brought to a conclusion in the course of the present session. Did the enquiry before the Privy Council then amount to a loss of time! So far from that on the whole, time had been gained. He had moved the resolution, therefore, to pledge the House to bring on the discussion early in the next session, when they would have a full opportunity of considering every part of the subject; first, whether the whole of the trade ought to be abolished, and if so, how?—and when? If it should be thought that the trade should only be put under certain regulations, what those regulations ought to be and when they should take place? These were questions that must be considered, and therefore he had made his resolution as wide as possible that the whole of the necessary considerations might be left open. He repeated his declaration, that he would reserve his sentiments till the day of discussion should arrive, and again declared, that he earnestly wished to avoid an anticipation of the debate upon the subject; if therefore it was likely to take place, he would withdraw the motion, and offer it another day.
Mr. Fox still complained, that the object of the measure to be proposed under the Resolution that had been moved, had not been opened; and said, he was confident if any other person but a person of the weight and authority of the Right Honourable Gentleman had moved the Resolution in that naked and unexplained manner, the Resolution would have been rejected. As it stood, they were to come to the Question next Session without knowing whether it was undertaken by any individual or not. Mr. Fox reasoned upon this, and asked, if that House should next session resolve that nothing ought to be done relative to the Slave Trade, which he allowed to be next to impossible from a general view of the subject, would not the Right Hon. Gentleman himself confess, that the present resolution was highly improper? After more observation, Mr. Fox referred to himself a right to vote for any question on the subject, that should be brought forward by any other person in the course of the present session.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, on a general view of the subject, he was ready to admit that it was highly improbable, that the House should next session resolve, that nothing ought to be done relative to the American Slave Trade; but if it should strangely be resolved, that nothing ought to be done, he must contend that would be one of the strongest reasons possible for the necessity of constituting an enquiry. The fact undeniably was, the subject should be argued to the bottom, in order to put it upon such a footing as should prove a benefit to the country.
Lord Pennycuick said, there were two descriptions of men; one, those who were concerned in the African Trade; the other, the Planters, whose characters had been blackened, and whose conduct had been grossly calumniated; both these descriptions of men wished anxiously that an enquiry might be instituted, conscious that the more their conduct was examined and enquired into, the less they would be found to merit the opprobrium with which they have been loaded. The Charges against the Slave Trade were either true or false. If they were true, the Trade ought to be abolished; but if, upon enquiry, they were deemed to be without foundation, justice ought to be done to the characters of those who were concerned in it. His Lordship said, the African Merchants and Planters were equally earnest in their desire, that the subject should be enquired into immediately.

MEDICAL WATERS.
THE public are hereby informed that a discovery hath lately been made of some Medical Springs in Washington County, from the use of which many afflicted persons have already experienced the most salutary effects.
No attempt hath been yet made to analyze this water, nor is it perhaps possible to ascertain its quality without some regular experiment; it issues in very large quantities from several large chasms or apertures in the rocks; is so very pure and light that any person may drink a gallon of it without feeling its stomach in the least oppressed, and possesses such tenuity and subtlety as to penetrate the whole system immediately after being drank, and make its appearance in small globules on the surface of the body.
To enumerate a few of the many cures effected by these waters:—A woman whose name is Crail, who had not walked for 15 or 20 years, is by the assistance of these waters restored to strength and activity; another woman nearly in the same situation, with a white swelling, is considerably relieved in a short time: one Tuck afflicted with the gravel, received immediate benefit; several persons laboring under scrofulous complaints have experienced perfect cures, and for the Rheumatism, that painful and common disorder in this country, 'tis a speedy and sovereign remedy.
The discovery was made as follows, Mrs. Clock and Mrs. Potter, who were taken prisoners, by the Indians, during the late war, were informed by some old savages, that on a branch of Chartiers creek describing this place exactly, were some springs, which would cure wounds and sickness of all kinds, and that old age itself was considerably relieved by an external and internal use of them.
Those springs are on Tom's run, a branch of Chartiers creek, about ten miles from Pittsburgh, and two from Gen. Nevil's; the country is remarkably healthy, provisions cheap, and comfortable accommodations to be had in the neighboring farm houses; an indifferent bath is already prepared, and will be improved in a few days; from 40 to 100 people frequent those springs every day.
That this valuable dispensation of providence may be generally known, a Friend to Humanity requests you to give this a place in your useful paper.
Washington county, August 4, 1788.
L A N S I N G B U R G H, August 18.
On Wednesday the 13th inst. a number of respectable inhabitants of the district of Saratoga, and county of Albany, assembled at the house of Mr. Ezekiel Eoffin, to manifest their joy on the late important and much wished for determination of the convention of this state, when a procession was formed, and moved under the particular direction of Col. John Graham and major Garret Lansing, headed by Capt. John Vernon's company of light infantry in complete uniform, which was followed by Gen. Gansevoort and Col. Van Vetchen, bearing the new constitution, and eleven respectable gentlemen carrying the ratifications of the different states who have adopted it; these were followed by the citizens, and officers of militia in their regimentals; and the rear was brought up by a detachment of artillery, with a field piece, under the command of Mr. John Blecker. The procession moved some distance, and on its return was saluted with eleven discharges from the field piece, which was repeated when it halted with eleven rounds from the light infantry. The persons composing the procession then went to dinner, after which the following toasts were drunk, and a gun discharged for each.
1st. The New Constitution, and the eleven states who have adopted it. 2d. The Congress. 3d. Gen. WASHINGTON. 4th. The memory of those brave Americans who gloriously fell struggling for the liberties of their country. 5th. The King and Queen of France and the female friends of America. 6th. The American FARMERS. 7th. May the laws under our new government be mild, and our rulers virtuous. 8th. The friends of freedom throughout the world. 9th. May unity, peace and prosperity prevail through every part of the United States. 10th. The late Convention of the State of New-York. 11th. Col. HAMILTON; may that worthy patriot live long, and enjoy the brightest honors of a grateful country. The whole was conducted with decency and decorum; every face wore a smile of satisfaction, and unanimity pervaded throughout; even several gentlemen who have hitherto warmly opposed the new constitution shewed their conciliating disposition by being among the foremost in the procession.

On the 3d of June, 1788, according to appointment, a meeting of The Delaware Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, superintending the cultivation of the young free Negroes, and for the relief and protection of those who are unlawfully detained in bondage,—was held at Dover. Dr. TILTON in the chair.
The committee, appointed to prepare a form of a constitution for the society, reported a draught, which, after being debated by paragraphs and amended, was adopted, and is as follows:
I. The officers of the society shall consist of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, four Counsellors, and a committee of six members, all of whom, except the committee, shall be chosen annually hereafter by ballot, on the second Monday in August. II. The President, and, in his absence, the Vice President, shall preside in all the meetings, and subscribe all the public acts of the society. The President, or, in his absence, the Vice President, shall moreover have the power of calling a special meeting of the society, whenever he shall judge proper. A special meeting shall likewise be called at any time, when six members of the society shall concur in requesting it. III. The Secretary shall keep fair records and proceedings of the society, and shall correspond with such persons and societies, as may be judged necessary to promote the views and objects of the institution. IV. The Treasurer shall keep all the monies and securities belonging to the society, and shall pay all orders signed by the President or Vice President—which orders shall be his vouchers for his expenditures. He shall, before he enters upon his office, give a bond to the President for the time being of not less than one hundred pounds, for the faithful discharge of the duties of it. V. Foreigners, or persons who do not reside in the state, may be elected corresponding members of the society, without being subject to any annual payment, and shall be admitted into the meetings of the society during their residence in the state. VI. The business of the Counsellors, or either of them, when called upon by the society, or their committee, shall be to explain the laws and constitutions of the States, which relate to the emancipation of slaves, and to urge their claim to freedom, when legal, before such persons or courts as are authorised to decide upon them. VII. The committee shall transact such business as shall occur in the recess of the society, and report the same at each meeting. They shall have a right, with the concurrence of the President or the Vice President, to draw upon the Treasurer for such sums of money as shall be necessary to carry on the business of their appointment. Three of them shall be a quorum. After their first election two of their number shall be relieved, from duty each quarterly meetings, and two members shall be appointed to succeed them. VIII. Every member shall subscribe the constitution of the society, and contribute ten shillings annually in quarterly payments, towards the defraying its contingent expenses. If he neglects to pay the same, for more than one year, he shall upon due notice being given him of his delinquency, cease to be a member. IX. The society shall meet on the second Monday of February, May, August and November, at Dover, or such other place as the society shall agree on at each quarterly meeting.

X. All questions shall be decided, when there is a division, by a majority of votes. In these cases when the society is equally divided, the presiding officer shall have a casting vote.
XI. No article in this constitution shall be altered, unless two thirds of the subscribing members present shall assent to such alteration.
XII. Not less than one third of the whole subscribing members shall be a quorum to transact the business of the society.
