L O N D O N, March 29.
THE treaty between the United States and Prussia is concluded. That which impeded the treaty between Great-Britain and the United States, was the very important but very complicated business of the India commerce and settlements. And it is, we understand, at length agreed that a convention should be signed, to arrange and finally adjust the India system, within six months of the conclusion of the treaty of alliance.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Jan. 31.
"The following introduction is prefixed to the thirty-seven articles contained in the edict concerning the non-catholics, registed the 20th ult. by the Parliament of Paris:— "When Lewis XIV. solemnly abolished, in every land and country under
his obedience, the public worship of all other religions except the catholic, the hopes of leading his subjects to that wished-for end, an unity of religion, and the flattering appearances of an approaching conversion, prevented that great Monarch from following the plan he had concerted, by the advice of his Privy Council, of granting a civil state to those of his subjects who could not be admitted to the sacraments of the church. Lewis XVI. will certainly follow the example of his august predecessor, and favour, as much as possible, all those means of instruction and persuasion that may tend firmly to bind the whole of his subjects together by one common profession of the ancient religion of his kingdom; taking the strictest care at the same time, that illicit ways of violence may never be used, which are as contrary to the principles of reason and humanity, as they are to the true spirit of christianity. But, in the mean time, in expectation that Divine Providence may bless our endeavours,
and effect this happy revolution, his Majesty's justice, and the interest of his kingdom, do not permit him to exclude any longer from the rights of a civil state, any of his subjects, or even strangers, settled in his dominions, who do not profess the catholic religion. Experience has fully convinced us, that rigorous steps are insufficient to convert them. We must no longer, therefore, suffer the laws uselessly to inflict punishment on them on account of their being born of a different persuasion, by depriving them of the rights of which they are entitled by nature. We have reflected that the Protestants, not enjoying the benefits of a civil existence, were continually exposed to the sad but inevitable alternative of profaning the holy sacraments, by a simulated change of tenets, or of exposing their children's future welfare, in contracting marriages, proclaimed null beforehand by the legislature of this realm. Our laws went even farther: they supposed there existed no other sect in the kingdom but the catholic; and this false supposition, inadmissible at present, has been the occasion of the law's silence on this subject; for it could never have acknowledged any proselytes in France of a different persuasion, without proscribing them from our territories, or without making immediately the necessary provisions for their civil existence. Principles so contrary to the prosperity and tranquility of this kingdom, would have encouraged the emigration of its inhabitants, and excited continual troubles in many families, had we not made a discretionary use of our tribunal's jurisprudence, to prevent collateral branches from disputing with the rightful heirs their parents' inheritance. Such being the alarming circumstances of affairs at present, his Majesty found it necessary to recur to his royal authority, and to put an end to such dangerous contradictions between the claims of nature, and the dispositions of the laws. This deliberation had been maturely weighed by the King's Council long since, and his Majesty resolved at last to hasten its execution. If, in restoring the Protestants to a civil life, other sects are to enjoy the same rights and privileges, it was never the Monarch's intention, that such different modes of worship should cause the least discord or dispute among his Majesty's subjects. Very proper and efficacious measures have been taken to prevent dangerous associations. The Roman Catholic religion, a blessing the inhabitants of this kingdom enjoy, shall have alone the rights and honors of a public worship. The non-catholics, deprived of all influence on the order established in his Majesty's dominions, declared beforehand, and forever incapable of forming a body, or communing within this realm, and subject to the usual orders of the police for the observation of holidays, &c. shall obtain nothing from the laws but that which cannot be refused to their natural claims. They shall have the privilege of proving and registering, in a lawful manner, their births, marriages, and deaths, that they may enjoy, as well as the rest of his Majesty's subjects, all the benefits arising from a state of civil society."

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated February 28.
"Some persons who were at Versailles on the 24th inst. say, that the new criminal code has been read at the Council of State, and was sent back to be modified, though approved of upon the whole."
"A speedy and easy plan to pay off the state debts is in consideration, under the inspection of the four Ministers of Requests. The author of it is to attend to explain his plan."
"A rich company has proposed to lend 500,000,000 of livres to government, at the rate of five per cent."
"The King saves 200,000 livres per annum which he paid to the Pretender, for whom the officers of the Irish brigades have desired permission to go in mourning."
"They value the benefits which the suppression of all the subaltern treasurers will produce, at 100,000,000 of livres."
New-York, May 29.
YESTERDAY arrived, in 5 days from Charleston, the New-York and Philadelphia packet, Bird, master.
By the above vessel we have received papers to the 22d inst. which contain a considerable proportion of the debates in convention; but the lateness of their arrival prevented our giving long extracts this day. The following is authentic.—On the 20th (last Tuesday week) the convention had got through the discussion of the constitution by paragraphs—and, in convention, on the same day, General Sumpter gave notice, that at twelve o'clock, on the next day, if the business then before the house should permit, he intends moving for an adjournment, in order that time may be given for further consideration on a subject of such vast magnitude.
Yesterday also arrived here the sloop Charles, White, Norfolk, Virginia, in 3 days.
Extract of a letter from Charleston (S. C.) May 22, 1788.
"The convention of South-Carolina, met at Charleston on the 13th. Governor Pinckney, President."
They proceeded to debate on the constitution by paragraphs, got through on the morning of the 21st, when a motion was made for adjournment to October next.
This was warmly opposed, and the motion was lost by a majority of 46, viz. 135 against 89.
The reasons given in favor of the adjournment were
First. That the people in the back counties were not sufficiently informed in regard to the constitution, and ought to have more time.
Second. That many delegates from the country had come down, biased themselves, and instructed by their constituents, against the constitution—that since they had heard the debates, their sentiments had greatly changed; in consequence of this they wished to have time to return to their constituents and bring them over also, otherwise they were fearful the people whom they represented, would think that their delegates had been forced into an adoption.
Many persons who voted in favor of the adjournment did so merely through accommodating and mild principle; but since the motion is lost will vote in favor of the constitution.
The question will this day be put on the close of the business, whether this convention will ratify the new constitution. Some debate will ensue, but it is confidently said, there will be a very large majority in favor of it."
If Mr. Greenleaf will insert the following QUERE, from a correspondent, in his paper of tomorrow, he will be entitled to the thanks of all the supporters of the paper medium of this state; viz. where will the scale of depreciation of the paper of the state of New-York end, which has commenced at seven and half per cent at a certain feminary?
The approaching summer, says a correspondent, will be the most interesting that America ever saw. Newspapers will become more important to our friends in the country than they ever have been; for, in a free country, what member of the community ought not to be informed of its political manoeuvres, or who of them is there indifferent or luke-warm. Is it well that any remain neutre at such a season! Rouse then, provide some more effectual means for the communication of intelligence, through the different parts of the country.—NEWSPAPERS are the GUARDIANS OF FREEDOM; by NEWSPAPERS only are ye made acquainted with the rise and fall of empires; and of the FREEDOM or the SLAVERY of your own species.
There is little interesting intelligence of a domestic nature; in a few days, it is probable the public will be informed, through this channel, of the fate of the new proposed constitution in the several states which have now, and soon will have, that important subject under consideration. South-Carolina commenced their session, in convention, on the 13th inst. of whose final decisions accounts are momentarily expected.
The present political situation of the United States, says a correspondent, bears a gloomy aspect. An attempt to change the political dogmas of a great people, is a task which the greatest writers upon law, government, or revolutions, acknowledge to be big with consequences.—That these consequences, in America, may be propitious to the liberties of our country, is the wish of every good man. Would, that present appearances corresponded with the sincere emanations which flow from every truly patriotic heart.
"The skies are overcast, the morning lowers, And heavily, in clouds, brings on the day, The great, the important day, Big with the fate of AMERICA, and her FREEDOM."
Yesterday, being the last Wednesday in May, was the ANNIVERSARY ELECTION, in the Massachusetts Commonwealth. On that day the General Court and Senate, assemble, and appoint their president, speaker, and governor's council; and proclaim who, by the returned votes, are appointed governor and lieutenant-governor. On this solemn occasion there is a sermon preached, at which the legislature attend, and generally a crowded audience; and the independent companies, on this day, generally parade, escort the legislature, festivate, &c. The proceedings on that day will be contained in next Thursday's paper.
Extract of a letter from P'Orient, by Capt. Chase.
"Capt. Campbell, in the brig Mary, belonging to this port, to the eastward of the Grand Bank saw an American sloop abandoned, and after going on board, by the log book found her to be the Betsey, Capt. —, belonging to Philadelphia, on her passage from St. John's to New-York, laden with sugar and cotton, supposed by appearances the crew were washed overboard."
Last Tuesday commenced the counting of votes for convention, senate and assembly, throughout this state. The lists of candidates, in general, to those important stations, will be given as soon as possible.
Accounts from Charleston (S. C.) via Philadelphia, of May 7, say—"Mr. Lowndes, it is said, declines a seat in the convention, not being willing to receive any obligations from the party who were industrious to bring him in. It is expected that a motion will be made in convention, for an adjournment until November, then to meet at Columbia."
His Excellency the Governor of the territory of the United States, north west of the Ohio, has appointed Enoch Parsons, Esq. Register of Deeds and Wills, in that territory.
Instance of remarkable fecundity.] At Lenox, in Massachusetts, a sheep brought forth four lambs, two black and two white, all of which are in good health. In Gloucester, a cow has, within twelve months, had five lively calves, viz. two at a birth last spring, and three this.
The Two Brothers, Capt. Fielding, from Boston to New-York, was totally lost two days after she left Boston, and four of the crew perished.
Since our last, European accounts have been received (by the Thyne, British Packet, arrived here, and the —, Capt. Davis, at Boston) to the 5th of April. [General European Intelligence, see foreign head of this paper.] The papers further inform, that by advices of unquestionable authority from Constantinople, our allies, the

French, appear to have been secretly practising with the ministers of the Sublime Porte, to exclude the English from all trade and intercourse with Suez through the Red Sea. This, it is said, they have effected, by assigning as a reason for their not opposing the entrance of the Russian fleet into the Mediterranean, "that the English were averse to it." Be this as it may, an order has certainly been issued, in the form of a manifesto, and in the name of the Grand Signior, by which all English ships, and ships belonging to the East-India Company, are forbidden, after the first of December last, to approach the port of Suez, on any pretence whatever, on pain of having their ships seized, their goods confiscated, their crew imprisoned, and their commanders punished as pirates and rebels; the English Ambassador at Constantinople having declared, that all private ships were forbidden by his Court from presuming to enter the port of Suez after the day prefixed. Other letters go farther and say, that the French have obtained from the Porte the sole privilege of navigating the Red Sea, and that all intercourse from India to Europe, through that channel, is shut from all nations, the Turks and French excepted.
By accounts already received of the forces raised by the Empress, Emperor, and the Porte, upwards of a million of men are to be led on to the destruction of each other. Shocking idea! that so many lives should be at the disposal of a capricious mortal, or that at this day religion should be the mask for such a scene of murder.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated March 25, mentions a report, that there is now pending at the Hague, a negotiation for permitting the court of Petersburg to contract in that country for a sufficient number of transports to take on board troops and accompany their fleet to the Mediterranean; but it was surmised the example of Great-Britain will by the States General not to be conceived unadvisable to follow.
The following is an extract of a letter from Naples, Feb. 26, 1788. "In answer to an enquiry as to the state of Mount Vesuvius, of which so much has lately been inserted in the papers, we have had several small eruptions, attended by lava in proportion, which running into the valleys of Hermitage, did no damage, to the fertile places. The capricious mountain is now very quiet, and throws out only a small quantity of smoke at the mouth of the Crater; but its top is not fallen in, as you suppose in your letter."
To be SOLD CHEAP, At PRIVATE SALE, A FARM,
THE place which WILLIAM PROVOOST formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the state of New-Jersey; it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: on the lot next the river is a stone DWELLING HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn: in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary spring and well at the Dwelling-House, from which the meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood Land; the land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land enclosed 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.

American Printed Books.
This Day is published, and to be Sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-street, The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH, Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merit, is universally allowed to fall much below this work; and is acknowledged to be deficient in that unbounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.
