PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.
By a gentleman of veracity and information, who arrived in this city yesterday from New-York, we are assured, that there is not the smallest probability of the New Constitution being adopted in that State. He says, that the Address and Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania has done great execution there, but the last numbers of Publius have done still more; as that writer's attempts to prove the expediency of supporting a standing army in time of peace have been so futile, that even the friends of the new plan are offended with them. His barefaced assertions, that our existence as a nation depends upon our keeping up a large military, to defend us on the North from the British, on the West from the Indians, on the South from the Spaniards, and on the Atlantic side from the invasions of a maritime enemy, have alarmed the people exceedingly. The common talk is, "Well, what do you think of being surrounded with a standing army?" Freeman's Journal.
New-York, Jan. 4.
His Excellency Governor Clinton, and several Members of Senate and Assembly, have set off for Poughkeepsie, in order to attend the business of the State in the present session of the Legislature, convened at that place, pursuant to adjournment.
A gentleman who arrived in Boston on the 25th ult. from Georgia, assures, that two days before he left that State, WAR was formally declared against the Indians, and that every thing was in the greatest agitation possible.
We are informed by a gentleman who arrived lately from the West-Indies, that the Federal Constitution has been considered in the Islands as a master-piece of human wisdom. Many planters have declared that as soon as there is a prospect of its adoption, they will arrange their affairs, and embark for this country, in order to establish a claim of citizenship coeval with the new Government.
In speaking of the credit of the United States, Mr. McKean, in the late Convention of Pennsylvania, alluded to the loan which had been raised in Holland, declaring that it was accomplished by the mere address of the negotiator, and that the lenders themselves had since sold out, at a considerable loss.
We have an instance of the encreased population of the State of Franklin, in an account, which mentions, that on an intimation of a number of Indians being in the vicinity, Gov. Savier, in two days and one night, raised and marched 1500 men.
Before the surrender of Amsterdam, water was sold at an English shilling a quart.
A few days ago (says a London paper of Sept. 14) arrived in town, Mr. Payne, the celebrated author of Common Sense .
Capr. Ewing, of the brig Sophia , spoke the snow Robert, from St. Vincent bound for New-London, in lat. 38, long. 68; also, in long. 71, spoke the brig Hector , for Dublin.
On Wednesday the schooner Donald , Lilly , for Norfolk; the schooner Edward , Potter , for Shelburne; and the sloop Three Sisters , Bullock , for Providence, cleared out at the Custom-house.
Anecdote. The day on which the Convention agreed to the Constitution presented to the Public, the great Dr. Franklin asked a gentleman who sat next to him, whether he had taken notice of the picture of the sun in the recess at the back of the President's chair?—He replied that he had, but not with a particular attention. The Doctor then observed that painters had been puzzled to paint a single sun in such a manner that the spectator could determine whether it was a rising or a setting sun; he added that he had viewed the picture before mentioned, as often as he had been in the Hall, and never had been able to come to a determination, but now he was sure it was a rising sun.

Oct. 20. The Turks, in their march towards Moldavia, set fire to the city of Galacz; when they came to Yassy, the principal town of that Principality, they took the wife of a Prince Yphilanti, in order to send her to Constantinople. The Russians advance rapidly in three columns. The Turks at Choczim are said to be badly armed, and worse disciplined. Of four fleets sent by the Porte to the Black Sea, the Russians attacked one so successfully, that it was with difficulty three ships made their escape. Six thousand Poles are on their march to reinforce the garrison of Kamieniec.
M. Bulgakow, the Russian Envoy, now confined in the castle of the Seven Towers, having desired the advice of a physician, his request was complied with; but the Turkish Ministry suspecting it to be a joint, caus-
ed the Doctor to be searched, in consequence of which they got possession of the secret dispatches intended to be conveyed through that channel to the Russian fleet.
Yesterday at noon one of the King's messengers arrived at Whitehall with dispatches from Paris. The French continue, it seems, to arm most diligently; nor can we learn that they have delivered any thing like an unequivocal answer to the specific question proposed, so as to justify our Government in disarming at present.
The French Court have appointed M. le Baillie de Suffrein to the command of their grand fleet, and M. d'Albert de Nions to the command of that destined for the Mediterranean. The two fleets will amount, the French say, to 35 ships of the line.
DUBLIN, October 27.
Sir John Parnel, Chancellor of the Exchequer, failed for England on Wednesday night, at 11 o'clock, about two hours after his Grace the Lord Lieutenant expired, with intelligence of the melancholy event.
His Grace the Duke of Rutland will be succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, the present Marquis of Granby, a beautiful child of about 7 or 8 years of age.
The malady of our late regretted Viceroy, certainly originated from a cold caught during the course of his recent excursions; but his whole mass of blood was in a most disordered state. He was afflicted a short time before his decease, with a complication of distempers, incidental to a corrupted state of the blood. The excessive fatigue he underwent from the severe journeys he made, frequently riding 70 miles a day, greatly contributed to produce this disagreeable consequence.
In the course of the late Duke of Rutland's excursion, he traversed a space of no less than 2000 miles; the rapidity of his pace, and the monstrous length of his daily journeys, proved fatal not only to his Grace, but to Captain Sloper, son of Gen. Sloper, one of his aids de camp, who expired it is thought, in consequence of the fatigue he endured.
His Grace wanted a few months of completing his 33d year, having been born March the 15th, 1754.
Mr. CHILDS,
THE Latin Epigram which appeared in your paper of Jan. 1, doubtless does much credit to the author for its sentimental and classical elegance; he exalts the charms of his friend in high panegyric, and plays very agreeably upon the word constituting her name: he has besides very properly written it in the Roman language, that the wits may have an opportunity of shewing their learning, in explaining it to their female acquaintances. If I thought he could read Italian, I should almost think he had taken his idea from the following madrigal of Battista Puarini; and, Mr. Printer, do not you imagine so too?
Nome di Barbara.
Dunque puo star con barbara fierezza Angelica bellezza ; Dunque di si bel viso Barbaro e'l paradiso ; Barbara quel man, quella favella Cosi soave, e bella. Barbara a torto il mondo oggi er chiama; Barbaro e chi non v'ama.
But if this really be the case, he has improved vastly upon his barbarous original, and shewn that he can be great even in little things . JACHIMO. Hanover-square, Jan. 2, 1788.
Mr. CHILDS,
YOU should open, on every holiday, a Chapter of Accidents, because the drunkenness of the times is the parent of disorders. On the night of the New Year, a carriage was overturned by a drunken coachman. There was no confusion, or bones broke, and only presented a scene of comic risibility, which deserves the pen of Foote, or the pencil of the laughter-loving Bunbury. The Dowagers were delivered through the coach window, by some bunglers, legs foremost, by dint and stress of labor, without the assistance of a forceps. The only good delivery was that of a Gentleman, who came out properly, head foremost, by his own exertion. The carriage is as well as can be expected, and will be churched on Sunday.
Mr. Printer,
YOUR giving the following a place in your daily paper (taken from the Lansburgh Advertiser ) will oblige a number of Citizens.
BORROWED BOOKS.
THOSE persons who have borrowed Books in this city, and have had them in possession, from three months to three years, would greatly oblige the owners of them by speedily returning them, that they might once more have the perusal of their own property: unless, like Sterne's Widow Wadman, by long viewing them, intermixed with their own property, they have become a part of it; in which case, and that only, their return will not be expected.
PUNCTUALITY.
THOUGHTS on RELIGION.
EVERY man seeks for truth, but God only knows who has found it. It is unjust to persecute, and absurd to ridicule people for their several opinions, which they cannot help entertaining upon the conviction of their reason. It is he who acts or tells a lie that is guilty, not he who honestly believes the lie. The object of all public worship in the world is the same, it is that great Eternal Being who created every thing. The different manners of worship are by no means subjects of ridicule, each thinks his own best, and I know no infallible judge in this world to decide which is best.
From the Connecticut Courant.
To the Hon. Richard Henry Lee, Esq.
WE have, by several conveyances, received your labored essay against the form of Government proposed by the Convention, entitled Letters from a Federal Farmer . We were at first ignorant to whom we were indebted for that various information which you seem zealous to afford. The collector of impost for New-York, with whom your pamphlets were left to be distributed, acquitted himself of his trust as well as could be expected from a man too violent to be prudent, and too ignorant of the characters he addressed, not to be frequently mistaken. It was easy to discover that his intention was to have committed your books to a set of men who are wrong-headed from instinct, and who are ever grateful to those, who furnish them with plausible arguments to justify the errors inherent in their understandings.—But it has happened in some instances, that the addresses were made to gentlemen who despised the affront offered to their reason and who consider it as a great misfortune that they have been suspected to have been of your party. Your agent certainly cannot be accused of negligence, though by doing too much he has injured your cause—He ought when he distributed the hand-bills and pamphlets committed to his care, to have ascertained the nature of the objections they contained; for want of this attention, you have lost the support of several very respectable wrong-heads—the poison conveyed from the Centinel, has been counteracted by the different poison of the Federal Farmer , and the patients left in their usual state of sanity and dullness.
The active curiosity of the New England character has been employed to discover the officious stranger who has thus familiarly undertaken to advise.—Whether the discovery has been accomplished by human or necromantic arts, cannot be material for you to know. We own that we were much surprised to find that a delegate in Congress from the antient dominion of Virginia , had descended from the imagined dignity of a planter to unite with the G-v-r-n-r of N-Y---, and a train of collectors of impost and excise, tide-waiters and bailiffs, to instruct us poor and despised Yankees in the arts of Government—we did not expect from the owner of several hundred negroes such unusual anxiety for our liberties—still less from a person whom we well remember several years ago endeavored to persuade us to degrade General Washington and promote his relation General Charles Lee—a man altogether unfit to command an army, of violent passions, unprincipled character, and one whom we had good reason to suspect was connected with our enemies.
In one respect only have you discovered your real character, we can perceive that you have a better opinion of your own sagacity and discernment than of ours—your comments and explanations of the new form of Government, are such as would be very proper were you addressing the people of New-Zealand—but we can pardon your minute interpretations—by being accustomed to despise New-England you probably thought we were as dull as the negroes of Virginia.
We however confess a dullness of apprehension when we attempt to conceive, what honest motives could induce a Virginian planter to become the instructor and guardian of New-England—we have heard a rumor that you and your connexions have been for several years the personal enemies of General Washington, and some shrewd men imagine, that your only motive to your present conduct, arises from a low envy of the brilliant virtues and unbounded popularity of that illustrious character.—If we are not mistaken, all your cant about liberty, democracy and aristocracy, is hypocritical, or else arises from a real ignorance of the nature of political liberty—in your practical sense, liberty can only mean a privilege for gentlemen planters to do what they please—in no conversation, in no intercourse with mankind, have you been known as the guardian or protector of that depressed race of men, whose toils have enabled you to live in affluence, and at leisure plot dissensions and mischief to your country.
It is also very remarkable that your associates in New-York, should all happen to be persons whom we consider as our enemies and unworthy our confidence.
If those gentlemen who have printed a vast edition of your books, which they are distributing among us at their own expence, are as zealous friends as they represent, they have in their power to bestow a more unequivocal evidence of attachment, than a present of several thousand pamphlets containing the most evident misrepresentations and the weakest reasoning. We are not so wanting in sagacity as not to discover the motives of this extraordinary zeal. Those gentlemen in New-York who receive large salaries and have large sums to employ in speculations, are too well acquainted with human nature not to know that their offices will be more insecure, and their conduct more attentively observed, when the expenses of government shall be paid by their constituents, than while paid by us.
The collector of impost can well afford to pay fifty pounds for pamphlets to be distributed in New-England, to prevent any derangement in a system which enables him to receive two thousand pounds annually of our property—perhaps he may expect to be reimbursed, for surely it would not be unreasonable in a state which receives a tribute of fifty thousand pounds annually from its neighbours, to expend so trifling a sum to convince them that they were thus fleeced to preserve their liberties. But know, Sir, the people of New-England are not willing to purchase your books at such a price, nor are they so ignorant of political science that the collector of impost for New-York, and his train of tide-waiters need remit their usual attentions to business to give them information. The fact is, that the presses in New-England are open to all parties, and a greater number of papers are distributed weekly for the information of people, than the whole number of persons of all colors in the antient dominion , who are able to read.
As you have, without our application, undertaken to advise us, we on our part will repay you with some information, which, if properly improved, may be useful.
Know then that the people of New-England are a bold, hardy, and intelligent race of men, who are attached from habit and principle to a Republican Government—there is not among us as you suggest, any party of men who wish to subvert our liberties—if any individuals with such inclinations exist, their impotence and folly is their protection from our resentment. We think that we have just reasons to consider, that the real strength and energy of the American character resides with us—we are proud of what we have accomplished during the late war—when we reflect that the armies of Britain never entered our borders without being compelled to flee—that they never resided one day within our confines when they were not protected by the cannon of their ships—that our hardy citizens have acquired glory for themselves and country, in every field of danger, from the bleak and inhospitable regions of Canada, to the sickly plains of Carolina. That our toils have reared the fabric of American greatness, and that our habits of industry and virtue must preserve American liberty; it is surely not unreasonable for us to wish for such establishments, as may best enable us to grow great by peaceable and regular means, and acquire property by directing the exertions of our industry to the best advantage.
Our country is more populous than any other in America, and though we have not any single article of commerce equal to either of the staple commodities of our southern brethren—yet the productions of our country are more various and in greater abundance than theirs—a greater variety of useful domestic manufactures are to be found in New-England, than elsewhere—we are under the best advantage to become the carriers of America, and to breed by our fisheries and commerce, a hardy race of men, who may constitute our wealth in peace and our glory and defence in war.
Every useful object of business which we can propose for ourselves, happens to be in direct competition with the interest of Great-Britain, and in some degree opposed to the interest of the other maritime powers of Europe—we judge, and we know that we judge truly, that it is for our interest to combine our strength and resources against the encroachments of foreigners, and we are desirous that all the people of the United States may be connected with us for the establishment of the American Empire.
These are our principal objects as a people, and we are not deceived in the characters of our public men as you imagine—they are not richer than most of us, or in any respect elevated above our control, as you suggest—their offices depend upon our suffrages, which we bestow upon persons with whom we are intimately acquainted.
It is true that we imagine that the establishment of a Federal Government will remedy some evils with which we find ourselves oppressed by the selfishness of our neighbors—we feel some impatience when we reflect on the conduct of New-York—we remember when the whole strength and resources of that State were not competent to reduce their internal enemies—we have

not forgotten the assistance we afforded them -- the immense property which they acquired by our exertions, and which has been converted to their particular benefit -- the extensive region of new country which they claimed without title, and which we have tacitly conceded to them -- we thought would sufficiently evince the generosity of our dispositions, and that we did not fight for plunder, but for liberty.
When the misguided State of Rhode-Island refused to grant an Import to Congress upon the first requisition, we well remember the curses which some of the first characters in New-York vented against that State -- we admitted the absurdity of the conduct of Rhode-Island -- but what shall we now say of the conduct of New-York, a State famed for political knowledge, a State under the highest obligations of gratitude to New-England, who have since the peace been invariably pursuing a system founded in the most unjustifiable selfishness -- a system which encreases their relative importance only by weakening and depressing their neighbors.
We mean not to be too general and severe in our censures -- we believe that the people of that State are as honestly disposed as any other, but, we can by no means admit this to be true, as respects a majority of their present rulers -- we have waited for the moment of calm conviction, and we trust the period has nearly arrived, when that people will be willing to combine their strength with ours, and grow great by the means of regular industry, under the protection of an equal and just Government. If we should be disappointed in this respect, we shall certainly examine the justice of those measures, by which our labors are rendered conducive to their benefit. If, then, we are told, as at present, that the Port of New-York is their property, and that they have a right to improve their natural advantages to their best particular advantage , we shall certainly reply, that the principles of reason and justice require, that States and individuals should so exercise their rights, as not to injure and depress their neighbors . If this should not induce them to adopt a proper mode of conduct, we have no doubt but arguments derived from our natural strength , operating on their natural weakness , will produce the desired conviction -- the opinion of any statesman is not much to be regarded, who supposes that a powerful and enlightened people, uncontrolled by any tie of Government, will consent to become perpetual tributaries to a weaker neighbor.
We admit that the adoption of a new form of Government, is a matter of great importance, and we pretend not to foresee all the consequences which may follow, from its reception by the people. When we review the history of human events, we are disposed to acknowledge, that the most momentous affairs of society have owed their origin to accident -- the best formed projects of the benevolent mind, have originated systems of persecution and tyranny, and what was intended for mischief, or a gratification of passion, has established the empire of reason -- the mad resentment of Luther, first enabled science to triumph over superstition -- the benevolent exertions of Las Casas, in favor of liberty, have entailed slavery on one quarter of mankind! All that we can know, is, that the new plan of Government appears to be well calculated to secure our liberty, and promote our happiness -- that the characters who framed it, have given the most unequivocal evidence of their abilities and integrity -- they are the ornaments of our country and of human nature -- from what has already been accomplished, we believe the people of America are capable of arranging the powers of Government, from a rational conviction of its necessity; and such is our patriotism, that we are willing to run the small risque, occasioned by our ignorance of future events, for the sake of an experiment, which if successful, must greatly advance the dignity of human nature.
Your essay on the new Constitution, is doubtless the utmost effort of your art, assisted by several persons of reputed good sense in New-York -- it contains many eulogiums on the plan of Government proposed, joined with much insinuation against the characters of its authors -- it may possibly alarm the timorous, and those unacquainted with the nature of Government -- indeed it much resembles your former productions, which were designed to traduce the illustrious Washington, but it will not, on that account, be more likely to gain our confidence -- the ideas which you have suggested on the powers proposed to be vested in the Senate and Judiciary of the United States -- are too distorted and erroneous for a man of your abilities seriously to entertain. As we know your representations to be un candid, we shall leave you to correct your errors by that reason which we suppose you to possess, and when you shall next publish your objections against the new form of Government, in case they are fairly communicated, and with that candor which becomes a freeman, when he addresses freemen, as en-
lightened as himself, your arguments will be refuted, or their force admitted by the people of
NEW-ENGLAND.

To the People of America. AMONGST the numerous publications that have issued from the press, on the subject of Federal Government, none have attracted the public attention more than that entitled the FEDERALIST , under the signature of PUBLIUS . The justness of the reasoning, the force of the arguments and the beauty of the language which distinguish this performance, have justly recommended it to general applause. To attain a competent knowledge of the advantages to be derived from adopting the proposed FEDERAL CONSTITUTION , is no doubt the sincere wish of every true friend to his country: This performance being entirely free from party spirit and personal invective, is therefore well calculated to accomplish so desirable an end. The avidity with which this writer's pieces have been sought after by politicians and persons of every description, and the particular attention the different printers throughout the United States have shown them by regular insertions in their papers, are conclusive proofs of the superior excellence of this elegant political production. The manner in which the author treats and discusses the controverted parts of the Constitution, displays much information, patriotism and candor, and can hardly fail of meeting with a favorable reception from the opponents as well as the advocates of the new system of Government. Under this persuasion, the publishers flatter themselves with the countenance and support of the citizens of America, to a publication evidently written to promote their welfare, happiness and prosperity.
In the Press, and speedily will be published, The FEDERALIST; A collection of ESSAYS, written in favor of the NEW CONSTITUTION, By a CITIZEN of NEW-YORK. Corrected by the author, with additions and alterations.
CONDITIONS. This work will be printed on a fine paper and good type, in one handsome volume duodecimo. The number of pages the volume will contain, cannot rightly be ascertained, as the author has not yet done publishing, but the printers engage to deliver the manuscript at the very reasonable rate of five shillings for 200 pages, six shillings if 250, and all above gratis. The numbers already published will make more than 200 pages, and the author does not seem to be nigh a close. To render this work more complete, will be added, without any additional expence, Philo-Publius, and the Articles of the Convention. As agreed upon at Philadelphia, Sept. 17, 1787. * A few copies will be printed on superior royal writing paper, price Ten Shillings. †† No money required till delivery. Subscriptions are taken in by J. M'LEAN, and Co. No. 41, Hanover-square, by the Printer hereof, by the several Booksellers of the city, and by all others entrusted with proposals.

Dr. RYAN'S incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS,
Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the duodenum, or gut next the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all fluff and clammy humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the fever, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many children of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to families, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and purulent humours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purulent matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleaning the reins of slime; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in the cholick and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, causes a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicol distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, droopies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and constitutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box contains one dozen of these plumbs. — Price Eight Shillings, with directions. Sold by H. GAIN, at his Book-store and Printing-Office, in Hanover-Square.
Diagnostick signs of Worms.
PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, loat appetite, swelled belly, knowing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the body decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, stinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.
A Child from 1 to 2 years may eat one plumb, from 2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8 two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15, and all above that age may eat four plumbs, one hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey, or water-gruel; in taking, the patient must stay 2 or 3 days betwixt each dose. In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fit comes on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 3aw. tf.

THOMAS BURLING,
CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beekman-street, formerly Chapel-street.
ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a WARE ROOM of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily imposition strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf.
