Foreign Intelligence.
[The following interesting articles are received via Boston.]
L O N D O N, April 26. It is said, by a correspondent, that a motion will be made in the house of commons in a few days, for the grant of a sum to purchase the Death of Chatham, painted by Mr. Copley, which is now on sale at the exhibition of pictures, in Pall Mall, to be placed in the house of Lords; indeed it would be a reflection to suffer that performance to be sent to the continent.
May 6. The emperor has published in different languages a notification, declaring, that any officer or soldier, other than Mahometan, in the service of the Porte, who should be made prisoner, would be condemned to work for life in the galleys.
The Turks have published a counter declaration to that of the emperor, well written, and of considerable length. The Mussi being averse to the present war, has been superseded, and a man of very different call substituted in his room. The Grand Vizier is now in the field, having left Constantinople on the 26th of March.
The Imperial Gazette of the 16th of April, mentions a number of skirmishes, in which the Turks have constantly attacked, though in general without success. The severest contest was near the defile of Tamas, where a body of 1500 horse, and 300 foot, attacked the Monastery of Senay. The Austrians resisted with great firmness during the whole of a day and night; but at length were obliged to retire, by the destruction of the Monastery. The Turks had 300 killed besides the Pacha. The Austrians, as they say, only 27 killed, amongst whom was their first lieutenant; and 32, besides their captain, wounded. In an attack, made for the purpose of dislodging the Austrian van guard, the Turks, in the repulse, lost the Pacha of Czarnez, an officer of great merit and reputation. He was buried with much military pomp at Vladeny.
The Turks are very active in Croatia and Transylvania. The volunteers in Slavonia do the emperor much service: and a junction is formed in Gallicia, between the two Imperial armies.
The French ministry are going to erect a new form of government for Flanders, where at present there is not any provincial assembly, and if it is found to answer, they intend that all the generalities, which at present have those assemblies, shall be altered according to the new plan. This will probably prevent opposition to the King's will.
Extract of a letter from Paris, April 28. "After his majesty's answer of the 17th inst. the Parliament of Paris published the following short order: "The court, with all the chambers assembled, deliberating on the different propositions announced in the King's answer of yesterday, have prorogued the assembly to Tuesday the 22d instant, and invite the princes and peers of France to attend. They have likewise unanimously agreed, that the chief clerk of Parliament shall wait on his most serene highness the duke of Orleans, to congratulate him on his happy return."
The ministry have agreed to the emperor of Morocco's demands of 15,000 barrels of gunpowder; the only question is in what manner it shall be conveyed to that great monarch.
The late failure in the city, although severely felt in the metropolis by numbers of persons in trade, will be attended with still worse consequences in Lancashire, where, on the most moderate computation, forty thousand industrious hands will, at least for some time, be deprived of employment.
Another capital house (neither English nor Irish) flopped yesterday; as did also three lesser houses. A treaty of marriage is on the tapis between his grace the duke of Bedford and the beautiful and accomplished lady Caroline Howard, eldest daughter of the earl of Carlisle.
May 16.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, March 13. "All communication between this place and the territories of the emperor of Morocco is at an end. No English are now admitted into its ports, nor are the English allowed to carry merchandise or letters by land. The emperor has made a demand of the court of England of ten thousand barrels of gunpowder, requiring likewise that they send this as a present from him to the Porte. The following is a copy of the curious letter he sent to all the consuls at Tangiers on the 8th instant:
"In the name of God! To all the Consuls; Peace to him who followeth the right way."
"Know ye, that for these 30 years, that we have observed the conduct of the English, and studied their character; we have always found that they never keep their word. We never could dive into their character, because they have no other than that of telling lies. We are acquainted with the character of Christian nations; we know that they keep their word; but a nation like the English, of which there is no knowing the character, who know not how to keep their word, and who only can tell lies, does not deserve that we should speak or write any thing to them; for according to our religion, a lie is the most abominable of all vices. Their ambassador, Curtis, told us, that he had orders from his court, that the ships built on our slips, and which we were to send to Gibraltar, should be there completely fitted. In consequence of which we sent those ships to Gibraltar, provided with every thing necessary, and with money; but he sent back our ships, and nothing was done to them; but what offends us most is, that he even sent back the ships which we had sent to conduct them to our brother the Sultan Abdulhammed, whom God preserve. After this, it is not necessary to add more."
"On the 17th of the Moon Jumabilala of the year 1702—that is Feb. 25, 1788."
OF FRANCE.
A report is in circulation, that the King of France, having summoned the Parliament of Paris, surrounded them with five regiments of Swiss guards, and made the whole nobility prisoners. There is probably some truth in this report, as the
foreign papers, a few days ago, announced a decisive step as likely to take place against the Parliament, on the 8th of this month.
Another account says, the Parliament of Paris is no more. Thursday last was the day appointed for the king to hold his bed of justice: early in the morning every avenue to the house of Parliament was surrounded by the military—Les Chambres Assemblees—a captain of the king's guards entered, and arrested two of the members who had spoken too freely on former occasions; and his majesty ordered the Parliament to be called, or annihilated forever, and the doors of the house to be shut.
Instructions have been transmitted to the governors and intendants of the different provinces in France, with authority to abrogate all the provincial parliaments. Military forces are already stationed in different districts, to enforce obedience to the king's will, should refractoriness appear.
American Occurrences.
N E W - L O N D O N, June 27. TWO brigs belonging to Sagarban, on a whaling voyage, having taken about 400 barrels oil each. Their cargoes sold in the West-Indies, and they brought home 7000 dollars.
We hear from East Hampton on Long-Island, that on Sunday last a Mr. Sheeril, aged 27, and a son of Doctor Hutchinson, aged 17, went into the water on the south shore, for the purpose of bathing, and the surf being high, they were unable to resist the undertow, which carried them off; a boy on the shore seeing their situation, ran into the town to call for help—but on the people arriving they had disappeared, and were drowned.—Two or three attempts were made to get off in a boat in hopes of finding them without the surf, but the boat filling they were obliged to desist.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Aux-Caves, to his friend in this city, dated May 26, 1788.
"The times are very sharp, our vessels are searched in the dead of the night, in a very rough manner, and two of the American captains (men of character) have been taken out of their own boats and put in the frigate's boat, and there ran by the captain of the frigate, kept in irons all night, &c. &c. for no other reason than going off from the same wharf that he did. We intend to result in a suitable manner, and are about to prefer a petition, the contents of which I will soon acquaint you with."
On Monday last, three oxen, a mare and colt were killed by lightning in Colchester—they were the property of Mr. Nathaniel Chamberlain of that town.
M I D D L E T O W N, June 30.
The body of Mr. Perry (mentioned in our last to have been drowned) was yesterday sen'night taken up at East-Haddam, and decently interred.
New-York, July 3.
Convention of Virginia.
YESTERDAY morning Col. Henley returned from Virginia, to which place he was expedited on Wednesday last with the intelligence of the ratification of the new constitution by New-Hampshire.
Immediately on the arrival of Col. Henley, William Livingston, Esq. sat off for Poughkeepsie with the intelligence.
Colonel Henley, having arrived at Alexandria, met an express bound to New-York, with the intelligence of the RATIFICATION of the new constitution by the states of VIRGINIA. This interesting circumstance rendered Colonel Henley's further pursuit fruitless; he therefore returned, with the same zealous expedition he went, to bring the tidings to the anxious expectants in New-York, and arrived here; at THREE O'CLOCK yesterday morning.
On this occasion the bells of the city were set a ringing immediately, and at FIVE o'clock TEN guns were fired in honor of the ten states which have adopted the constitution.
The purport of the Virginia intelligence, is, that after a session of eighteen days, in which the merits of the constitution were fully investigated, clause by clause, both parties being equally zealous in the cause, speaking freely, and discussing (sometimes) dispassionately, on the TWENTY-FOURTH instant, viz. Tuesday sen'night, the decisive question was put, whether the convention would RATIFY the constitution, when there appeared—YEAS, 88, and NAYS, 78, giving a MAJORITY of TEN.—Thus have TEN STATES RATIFIED THE CONSTITUTION proposed by the GENERAL CONVENTION, who sat at Philadelphia in September last.
RATIFICATION OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION, by the VIRGINIA CONVENTION, on Tuesday, the 24th instant.
"WE, the delegates of the people of Virginia, duly elected, in pursuance of a recommendation of the general assembly, and now met in convention, having fully and fairly investigated and discussed the proceedings of the federal convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation will enable us, to decide thereon, DO, in the name, and on behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, may be resumed by them whenever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remain with them, and at their will: that therefore no right of any denomination, can be cancelled, abridged, restrained, or modified by the Congress, by the senate, or house of representatives, acting in any capacity, by the president, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances where power is given by the convention for those purposes; that among other essential
rights, the liberties of conscience, and of the press, cannot be cancelled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.
"With those impressions, with a solemn appeal to the searcher of hearts for the purity of our intentions, and under the conviction that, whatsoever imperfections may exist in the convention ought rather to be examined in the mode prescribed therein, than to bring the union into danger by a delay; with a hope of obtaining amendments previous to the ratification:
"We, the said delegates, in the name, and on behalf of the people of behalf of the people of Virginia, do, by these presents, assent to, and ratify, the constitution, recommended on the 17th day of September, 1787, by the federal convention, for the government of the United States; hereby announcing to all those whom it may concern, that the said constitution is binding upon the said people, according to the authentic copy hereto annexed, in the words following. [Here followed a copy of the constitution.]
Our readers will readily perceive that the preceding ratification is more pointed, and differs in many instances, very materially from any one yet produced.
Convention of N. Hampshire.
We have not yet received the form of the ratification of the constitution, by that state—but are informed, that,
Having ratified the new constitution, the convention were of opinion, that the following AMENDMENTS and ALTERATIONS in the same, would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this state, and at the same time guard against an undue admiration of the federal government, they therefore recommended that they be introduced into the said Constitution.
1st. THAT it be explicitly declared, that all powers not expressly and particularly delegated by the aforesaid constitution, are reserved to the several states, to be by them exercised.
2d. That there shall be one representative to every 30,000 persons, according to the census mentioned in the constitution, until the whole number of the representatives amounts to 300.
3d. That Congress do not exercise the powers vested in them by the 4th section of the first article, but in cases when a state shall neglect or refuse to make the regulations therein mentioned, or shall make regulations contrary to a free and equal representation.
4th. That Congress do not lay direct taxes, but when the money arising from the impost, excise, and their other resources are insufficient for the public exigencies; nor then, until Congress shall have first made a requisition upon the states to assess, levy and pay their respective proportions of such requisition, agreeably to the census fixed in the said constitution, in such way and manner as the legislature of the state shall think best; and in such case if any state shall neglect or refuse to pay its proportion, pursuant to such requisition, then Congress may assess and levy such state's proportion—together with interest thereon at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, from the time of payment prescribed in such requisition.
5th. That Congress have power to coin money, with exclusive advantages of commerce.
6th. That no person shall be tried for any crime by which he may incur an infamous punishment, or loss of life, until he be first indicted by a grand jury; except in such cases as may arise in the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.
7th. All common law causes between citizens of different states shall be commenced in the common law courts of the respective states—and no appeal shall be allowed to the federal court in such cases, unless the sum or value of the thing in controversy amount to 3000 dollars.
8th. In civil actions between citizens of different states, every issue of fact arising in actions at common law, shall be tried by a jury, if the parties or either of them request it.
9th. Congress shall at no time consent that any person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall accept of a title of nobility, or any other title or office from any king, prince or foreign state.
10th. That no standing army shall be kept up in time of peace, unless with the consent of three-quarters of the members of each branch of Congress—nor shall soldiers in time of peace be quartered upon private houses, without the consent of the owner.
11th. Congress shall make no laws touching religion, or to infringe the rights of conscience.
12th. Congress shall never disarm any citizen, unless such as are or have been in actual rebellion.
Convention of New-York.
The proceedings in Convention at Poughkeepsie, in last Thursday's Journal, were continued to the end of Mr. Lansing's speech, on the 20th.
On the same day the Chancellor replied to Mr. Lansing with his usual warmth and elegance, and having exculpated himself from the charge of insinuating that the opposition to the constitution flowed from interested motives—he defended the constitution in general terms. After the chancellor,
Mr. M. Smith rose; he wished that the constitution might be examined by paragraphs, in the course of which he should offer his objections in order.
The 1st. sect. of art. 1st. was then read and passed over. The second sect. on the apportionment of representatives, direct taxes, &c. being read, Mr. M. Smith again rose, who, in a speech of an hour, stated his objections in a candid and masterly manner. After making some pertinent and judicious remarks upon the chancellor's speech, he was replied to by Mr. Hamilton in an elegant speech, which was answered by Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Lansing.
Saturday June 21, and Monday, June 23, second sect. still in debate, it was warmly contested on both sides, and several amendments proposed [See amendments] Mr. President, Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Lansing, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Treadwell, opposed the paragraph; and Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Garrison advocated it.
Tuesday, June 24. The 3d sect. respecting senators, was read; upon which Mr. G. Livingston proposed amendments, [see amendments] which he advocated in a very sensible speech. Judge Morris spoke a few words, in reply, and Mr. Chancellor, and Mr. Hamilton went more fully into the merits of the subject. Mr. M. Smith made some cursory remarks upon the speeches of Mr. Chancellor and Mr. Hamilton.
Wednesday, June 25. The 8th sect. was read. This sect. which respects the power of Congress, to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, &c. was debated this day, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the 28th; speakers, Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Chancellor Livingston, Mr. Lansing and Mr. Williams.
On Saturday, some severe debates took place, which produced temper, inasmuch that the committee rose without finishing the section; when a resolve of the convention originated to set twice a day for the expedition of the important business before them.
AMENDMENTS, proposed in Convention, by the gentlemen whose names are annexed.
Mr. M. SMITH. Resolved, That it is proper, that the number of representatives be fixed at the rate of one for every 20,000 inhabitants, to be ascertained on the principles mentioned in the 2d sect. of art. 1st of the constitution, until they amount to 300, after which they shall be apportioned among the states in proportion to the numbers of the inhabitants of the states respectively; and that, before the first enumeration shall be made, the several states shall be entitled to choose double the number of representatives for that purpose, mentioned in the constitution.
Mr. G. LIVINGSTON. Resolved, That no person shall be eligible as a senator for more than six years in any term of twelve; and that it shall be in the power of the legislatures of the several states to recall their senators, or either of them, and to elect others in their stead, to serve the remainder of the time for which such senator or senators, so recalled, was appointed.
Mr. JONES. Sec. 4. art. 1. Resolved, As the opinion of this committee, that nothing in the constitution now under consideration, shall be construed to authorise Congress to make, or alter, any regulations in any state respecting the times, places, or manner, of holding elections for senators or representatives, unless the legislature of such state shall neglect or refuse to make laws or regulations for the purpose, or from any circumstance be incapable of making the same, and then only until the legislature of such state shall make provision in the premises. And that nothing in this constitution shall be construed to prevent the legislature of any state to pass laws, from time to time, to divide such state into as many convenient districts as the state shall be entitled to elect representatives for Congress; nor to prevent such legislature from making provision, that the electors in each district shall chuse a citizen of the United States, who shall have been an inhabitant of the district for the term of one year, immediately preceding the time of his election for one of the representatives of such state.
Mr. LANSING. Sec. 6. art. 1. No senator or representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any office under the authority of the United States. And no person holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office.
Mr. WILLIAMS. Sec. 8. art. 1. That no excise shall be imposed on any article of the growth or manufacture of the United States, or any of them. And that Congress do not lay direct taxes, but when the monies arising from the impost and excise are insufficient for the public exigencies; nor then, until Congress shall first have made a requisition upon the states to assess, levy, and pay their respective proportions of such requisition, agreeably to the census fixed in the said constitution, in such way and manner as the legislatures of the respective states shall judge best; and in such case, if any state shall neglect or refuse to pay its proportion, pursuant to such requisition, then Congress may assess and levy such state's proportion, together with interest thereon, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, from the time of payment prescribed in such requisition.
TO-MORROW, being the anniversary day on which America emerged from DEPENDENCE to EMPIRE—a day which, it is hoped, will be held in grateful remembrance by every true-born American until time shall cease to be—the glorious event of the DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE will be celebrated, viz. by an ORATION, suited to the occasion, to be delivered by WILLIAM DUER, Esq. and a parade of the troop of Light-Horse, Corps of Artillery, and uniformed companies of Infantry.
It is said, that the oration will be delivered at St. Paul's church, for the convenience of a course of citizens, which will doubtless assemble on that day, in pursuit of amusement and recreation.
We hear, that—to make known the joy of the citizens, upon the circumstance of the adoption of the new proposed constitution by TEN states—a PROCESSION of the several branches of mechanics, &c. is to take place this day week.
It is said, that the flags emblematical of the several states, the Federal Ship, the Stages, &c. are in great readiness, and that they will surpass any thing of the kind yet exhibited in America.
We are further informed, from Virginia, that the CONVENTION are still sitting; and that their business is to prepare such AMENDMENTS to the general system as they, on mature deliberation, may judge proper.

Those who delight in havoc may expect speedily to be gratified to their wishes. Besides the near approach towards each other, of the Turks and Imperialists, we learn, by the papers from Europe, that the Russian fleet, of 26 sail of the line, 13 frigates, and 248 transports, having on board 43,800 seamen and land forces, has failed for the Mediterranean; and that the Spanish fleet was, at the date of our accounts, then cruising off the Straights to intercept it.
Extract from the Richmond, Virginia, paper, of June 25, the day on which the constitution was ratified in their convention:—“On Monday the 29th inst. the hon. general assembly met at the public buildings in this city, pursuant to the proclamation of his excellency the governor—and yesterday the house of delegates proceeded to the choice of a speaker, when Thomas Matthews, Esq. was appointed to that office, and after being conducted to the chair, he made his acknowledgements to the house for the honor done him—assuring the members that he should act with the utmost impartiality, and endeavor to merit their approbation.” John Beckley, Esq. was also appointed clerk.”
“The committee of the whole convention got through the new plan of government on Monday last, and the debates have been since on the mode on which they should conclude this important business. Two plans are now before the committee, one for ratifying the proposed plan of government, and annexing to the ratification certain reservations and declarations which ought not to be exercised by the Federal government, the other in the form of a conditional ratification, which is, that previous to receiving the plan, amendments be recommended to the eight states who have already adopted the government, for their further consideration: These are, principally, a bill of rights and certain amendments relative to the proposed plan.”
The calm, cool, and deliberate manner in which this important subject has been investigated, will be a lasting monument of national gratitude to those venerable statesmen, who have so eminently distinguished themselves in forming this new plan of government—Posterity will, with gratitude, view the services of this convention—and with exactness and admiration they will contemplate, in the records of time, the magnanimity and disinterested patriotism which has been so eminently distinguished on this occasion.—A crowded audience have viewed with an awful reverence the distinguished order which has been observed during the debate—and whatever may be the ultimate decision of this grand assembly, we have no doubt but the minority will accede to it, with their usual love for their country, that harmony and goodwill, will pervade the state, and the virtues of the majority will be echoed with applause throughout succeeding generations.”
For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c.
Mr. GREENLEAF. The following extract, from a London paper of April 1st, entitled, “The Times,” will show, that the anti-federals (so called) are not singular in their predictions of what will be the probable consequence of the new government, unless amended previous to adoption. LIBERTAS.
NEW GOVERNMENT OF AMERICA. IN the new Constitution for the future government of the Thirteen United States of America, the President and Senate have all the executive and two thirds of the Legislative power.
This is a material deviation from those principles of the English Constitution for which they fought with us, and in a good government, it should be a fundamental maxim, that, to give a proper balance to the political system, the different branches of the legislature should be unconnected, and the legislative and executive powers should be separate. By the new constitution of America this union of the executive and legislative bodies operates in the most weighty matters of the state:—They jointly make all treaties—they jointly appoint all officers civil and military; and, they jointly try all impeachments, either of their own members, or of the officers appointed by themselves.
In this formidable combination of power, there is no responsibility;—and where there is power without responsibility, how can there be liberty.
The president of the senate is elected for four years, and each of the thirteen states has one vote at his election; which vote is not of the people, but of electors two degrees from the people.
The senate is a body of six years duration; and as in the choice of presidents, the largest state has but one vote, so it is in the choice of senators. Now this shews, that responsibility is as little to be apprehended from amenability to constituents, as from the terror of impeachment: for to the members of the senate it is clear, that trial by impeachment is nothing but parade.
From such an union in governments, it requires no great depth of political knowledge to foresee, that monarchy or aristocracy, must be generated, and perhaps of the most grievous kind. The only check in favor of the democratic principle is, the house of representatives; but this smallness of number, and great comparative disparity of power, render that house of little effect to promote good or restrain bad government.
The power given to this ill constructed senate is, to judge of what may be for the general welfare; and such engagements, when made the acts of congress, become the supreme laws of the land.
This is a power co-extensive with every possible object of human legislation: yet there is no restraint, no charter of rights, no residuum of human privileges, not intended to be given up to society. The rights of conscience,—the freedom of the press,—and trial by jury; are at the mercy of this senate. Trial by jury, has been already materially injured:—The trial in criminal cases is not by twelve men of the vicinage, or of the county, but of the state; and the states are from fifty to seven hundred miles in extent! In criminal cases this new system says, the trial shall be by jury:—On civil cases it is silent; then it is fair to infer, that as in criminal cases it has been materially impaired, in civil cases it may be altogether omitted. But it is in truth strongly discountenanced in civil cases; for this new system gives the supreme court, in matters of appeal, jurisdiction both of law and fact.
This being the beginning of American Freedom, it is very clear the ending will be slavery, for it cannot be denied, that this constitution is, in its first principles, highly and dangerously oligarchic; and it is every where agreed, that a government administered by a few, is, of all governments, the worst.

An Extract from "The SLAVES—An ELEGY"
AND there are men, who, leaning on the laws, What they have purchas'd claim a right to hold, Curs'd be the tenure curs'd its cruel cause— Freedom's a dearer property than gold! And there are men with shameless fronts have said, That nature form'd the NEGROES for disgrace; That on their limbs subjection is display'd— The doom of slav'ry stamp'd upon their face. Send your stern gaze from Lapland to the line, And ev'ry region's natives fairly scan, Their form, their force, their faculties combine, And own the vast variety of man! Then why suppose your slaves the chosen few, To deal oppression's poison'd arrows round, To gall with iron bonds the weaker crew, Enforce the labour and inflict the wound! 'Tis foolish int'rest guides you; bent on gain, In profit only can ye reason find; And pleasure too—but urge no more in vain The selfish subject, to the social mind. Ah! how can he, whose daily lot is grief, Whose mind is vili'fy'd beneath the rod, Suppose his master has for him relief, Can he believe the tongue that speaks of God!
