INTERESTING AND AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTS RESPECTING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE people of the United States of America have exploded those principles, by the operation of which, religious oppressions and restrictions of whatever description, have been imposed upon mankind; and, rejecting mere toleration, they have placed upon one common and equal footing every church, sect, or society of religious men.
They have exploded, in like manner, those principles by the operation of which civil oppressions have been inflicted upon mankind; and they have made an unexampled progress, in their practice, upon the principles of a free government.
They have, in fact, exhibited to the world the new and interesting spectacle of a whole people meeting, as it were, in their political plain, and voluntarily imposing upon themselves the wholesome and necessary restraints of a just government.
On two occasions, at the distance of four years, personal character and the public interests have produced an orderly and unanimous election of the Chief Magistrate of the United States, without one, even the smallest, effort or measure of procurement.
The execution of the office of Chief Magistrate, has been attended through a term of four years, with a circumstance which an admiring world requires no commentary:—A native citizen of the United States, transferred from private life to that station, has not, during so long a term, appointed a single relation to any office of honor or emolument.
The independency of the judiciary, as well in the tenure of their stations as in the permanency of their compensations under the federal constitution, is an advantage over the ancient republics, and the generality of modern governments, of inestimable value in regard to liberty, property, and stability.
It has been unfortunate for most nations, as well ancient as modern, that they have had no settled pre-existing mode of altering, amending, or renovating, their political system, to which they could resort without a deviation from the legal course of things, hazarding the public tranquility and often freedom itself. It is equally happy for the people of the United States that in their government there exists a provision, by which those necessary and desirable ends may be obtained, with whatever zeal, without recurring to irregularity or violence.
It is an evident truth that the penal laws of these states have been gradually mitigated since the epocha of their independence; and it is no less true, that the number of crimes does not bear so great a proportion to the population, as was formerly the case, though an universal relaxation on the police took place in the late war. It is an ill symptom of the actual state of things in a society, when mild laws, strictly executed, are incompetent to the preservation of order and public happiness.
Their penal codes are, upon the whole among the least sanguinary, and they are not cruel in the few unhappy cases, which impel the community to extremities. The constitution of the United States has extracted all the gall from the punishment of offences against the national safety, by correcting the powers of legislating concerning them, with a mildness unknown to the systems of most countries. It is honorable to the humanity and magnanimity of the American people, that this proceeding flowed from them almost unanimously four years after the revolution war. Future ages will do justice to a nation capable of such an effort at a moment so particular.
Taking the United States at large, there are few or no countries in which, at this time, the just demands of private creditors can be obtained by a more certain, a more expeditious, or a less expensive course of legal process. There are some local and a few general defects yet existing; but they are vanishing before the spirit of the general and state constitutions.
In fact, the people of the United States enjoy a peculiar felicity in the possession of principles of government, and of civil and religious liberty, more sound, more accurately defined, and more extensively reduced to practice than any preceding republics. There is not one iota of delegating or delegated power, which is not possessed, or may not be acquired by every citizen.
Of the present importance, progressive prosperity, and approaching greatness of the United States, very correct ideas may be formed from the following facts:
The population in the year 1790 a-
mounted, according to the census then taken, to about four millions.
The population of the Eastern and middle States is supposed to double in sixteen years.
That of the Southern States in from eighteen to twenty years.
The public debt is smaller in proportion to the present wealth and population of the United States, than the public debt of any other civilized nation.
The United States (including the operations of the individual States) have sunk a much greater proportion of the public debt in the last ten years than any other nation in the world.
The expenses of the government are very much less in proportion to wealth and numbers than those of any other nation in Europe.

The following circular letter has been sent from the War-Office to the several officers on the recruiting service in Great-Britain:
War-Office, Feb. 21, 1795.
SIR, The high bounties offered by the New Levies being judged extremely prejudicial to the recruiting for the Navy, and his Majesty having, in consequence thereof, signified his commands, that the bounty given to recruits enlisted for general service shall not exceed fifteen guineas, and that the bounty to recruits for the Fencibles shall not exceed ten guineas, I am directed by the Secretary at War to acquaint you therewith; and to add, that his Majesty has, the same time, declared his royal pleasure, that any officer convicted of a deviation from this order shall forfeit his commission.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your's, &c.

Yesterday a warrant was granted by the Duke of Portland, to take and convey out of this country Count Zenobio and Baron de Ristoch.
It is a fact not much known, and perhaps not unworthy notice, that the annual amount of the taxes, raised by Government in this country, exceeds, by some millions, the whole of the specie in it. So that, as it is not for paper currency, the taxes could not possibly be collected.
Marquis of Lansdowne's Library.—The new Engine, which has been erected for warming the above magnificent room, and which is similar to that at West-hill, near Wandsworth, began to work on Monday last; when several persons were present to witness the result of this recent and important invention. Various experiments were successfully made, to ascertain the peculiar qualities of the rarified air thus generated: amongst others, it appeared by the Thermometer the temperature of that spacious apartment, which contains upwards of one hundred thousand cubical feet, was elevated from 40 to 55 degrees, in less than an hour, by means of a single fire, detached from the Library.
Curious Permission given to Poulthier D'Elmote by the Sieur Le Noire, intendant of the police, under the old government of France:—"I permit you to write against the Deity, but not against M. de Maurepas; against Religion, but not against Government; against the Apostles, but not against Ministers; against the Saints, but not against the Ladies of the Court; against Morals, but not against the Police." This we have on the authority of M. D'Elmote himself, in the sixth number of the Ballade Deville .
A tender couple have lately been united in the silken bands of Hymen, both aged EIGHTY. The gentleman is named Jewels the lady Patience .
Mons. B. D'Anglas, in a late speech in the French Convention, concerning a treaty of peace with the German empire, speaking of the British Government, uses the following terrible language—terrible, because it is true.
"O! ye politicians of Europe, who boast of high wisdom, and of the most profound penetration, how comes it that your eyes have not pierced through the Machiavellism of the English Government? Why do you not see how much it deceives you, and how little it cares for your interests? That Government accuses us of immorality, and when, by an armed Neutrality, it was expected that the ravages committed against the commerce of the neutral nations would be stopped, that Government alone, against those of all civilized nations, obstinately opposed the measure, with a thorough disregard for all decency. That Government accuses us of having violated the Rights of Nations, and of having broken the Peace, whilst they have insulted our Ambassador. It professes to hate intolerant Popery, and it takes up arms to defend the superstitions of Rome. It pretends to cherish Liberty, and is closely allied with the oppressors of Poland. It reproaches us with cruelties which we execrate, and of which we punish the authors, whilst it has filled Asia with pillage and dead bodies; has hired Savages to subdue the Americans, and has bought men of a German Prince, and established beforehand the price of every wound; the loss of every limb; in short, of every drop of blood of those unfortunate slaves. It calls us ambitious, whilst it foolishly strives to render itself master of all our colonies. It says that we carry on war without humanity, whilst, in order to revenge itself of its reverse of fortune, it endeavoured to expose 24 millions to perils by famine, if fate, and our valour, had not protected us, and annihilated its barbarous schemes. It cries aloud that we attacking the independence of other people, whilst it endeavoured to force Ge-
nea, Venice, Sweden, and Denmark, to renounce the most respectable and most sacred of all rights, namely, to remain neutral amidst all the horrors of war. It at last declares, that it is unsafe to treat with us, when that Government leagued with Russia, has excited the Turks to make war against it, and has abandoned them. That Power which has forced the Dutch to fight against us, and after having given them a feeble support, finished their career by withdrawing its forces, contented only to keep silence as to what regarded their losses. Lastly, that Government, after having seduced the unfortunate inhabitants of La Vendée, and of Toulon, sat down quietly to contemplate the progress of their ruin."
CAMBRIDGE, March 14.
A great Breakfast was on Sunday se'nnight given by Mr. Burke to several Members of the Administration, at which various important political points were discussed and adjusted.
By hints given in the House of Commons, it is not improbable that we shall soon have a Sunday Post, which will render that day as much a day of business as almost any other. As the present war was begun, and is obstinately persevered in for the support of our religion, it is not surprising that our Statesmen should afford us such repeated and striking proofs of their piety.
The justice and humanity which are now so conspicuous in the French Convention, and in the Tribunal at Paris, must give pleasure to every friend to the human race. Two persons, the avowed friends of Monarchy, and who had not only spoken but written against the establishment of a Republican Government, have been acquitted upon the just principle, that actions and not opinions , were the subjects of cognizance. Our readers will not suspect us of any great partiality towards Republican Government, but wherever we see truth and justice prevail, we must and will rejoice.
The decree of the French Convention for abolishing the national church establishment, will be read with disgust or approbation, according to the different sentiments which prevail amongst men. Those who think that christianity must, like all other religions, be supported by penal laws, and by the sword of the magistrate, will undoubtedly predict its downfall. But those who have that high opinion of christianity, as to be persuaded that its own intrinsic excellency will insure its success, have little doubt that it will in a short time flourish more, be better understood, and better practised in France, than in those countries where Statecraft and priestcraft, its pretended friends, but real enemies, have so officially intruded.
KISSING.
By PETER PINDAR, Esq.
When we dwell on the lips of the lass we adore, Not a pleasure in nature is missing: May his soul be in heav'n; he deserv'd it, I'm sure, Who was first the Inventor of Kissing. Master ADAM I very well think was the man, Whose discovery will ne'er be surpass'd, Well, since the sweet game with creation began, To the end of the world may it last!
THE NATION SAVED—BY WILLIAM PITT.
Says PITT, "It is shewn, by St. Mark, chapter seven, How difficult 'tis for the Rich to reach Heaven; Now, as this is the case, I shall prove in the end, To Britain no foe—but her very best friend; For, but let me go on, and I'll not leave the nation, A Guinea, to stand in the way of Salvation!"
TO THE EDITOR.
SIR, In the course of my reading the works of the late Lord Bolinbroke, I met with the following passage, which applies so much to the kingdom in general, and to the City of London in particular, that I think it merits a place in your Paper:
"Nothing, says the learned peer can destroy the constitution of Britain but the people of Britain, and whenever the people of Britain become so degenerate and base, as to be induced by corruption, (for they are no longer in danger of being awed by prerogative) to chuse persons to represent them in Parliament, whom they have found by experience to be under an influence arising from private interest, dependants upon a court and the creatures of a minister; or others who bring no other recommendation but that which they carry in their purses; then will that true proverbial speech be verified in our case, that the best things corrupted are the worst; for then will that change in the state of property and power, which improved our constitution so much, contribute to the destruction of it."
I leave the tools of ministers, the proprietors of boroughs, and the deluded electors of the city of London, and all England to comment upon it—they best know where it applies.

More about Potatoes. HINTS RESPECTING THE CULTURE AND THE USE OF POTATOES.
The Board of Agriculture think it incumbent upon them, to take the earliest opportunity of submitting the following hints to the public; they come recommended by the experience of many, who have cultivated Potatoes largely.
1. Sorts. —Two circumstances require attention: 1. That the sorts should not be liable to the curl ; and 2. That they should be mealy. The kind known under the name of the Champion has those qualities, and is also very early productive. The Ox noble is hardy, keeps well, and in the spring boils mealy. The Kidney is of an excellent quality, and in some soils crop is less productive, and though they are liable to curl , the price at market is proportionably greater. The Surinam , Cluster , or Yam , so well calculated for stock, never curls , and is extremely productive. Those who cultivate potatoes on a great scale, ought to have different sorts, for early use—for keeping, and for stock.
2. Modes of Planting. —1. Drilling on land already on tillage. 2. Dibbling upon grass or lays. 3. Lazy beds on bogs, wet peat moor, and lands too rough to plough.
Drilling. —Soils liable to be wet during the winter should be ploughed in autumn, so as to lie dry. In the spring, plough and harrow flat. In April and May, the sets may be planted. Draw furrows three feet asunder, in those furrows lay the dung not less than 20 loads or tons per acre. Drop the sets on the manure nine inches asunder. If the land be at all stiff, cover the dung and sets by drawing earth over them with hand-hoes; adding more afterwards with the plough. Keep the intervals clean by ploughing or horse-hoeing, for six or eight weeks after the potatoes appear; afterwards by hand hoeing: hand-hoe the rows when young, and afterwards weed them. Take up the crop by opening the rows with a plough, and harrow and pick more than once.
Dibbling. —If the soil of the grass be very rich, it will want no manure; if moderately good, only ten or twelve tons per acre. If no manure be spread, plough late in autumn, and scuffle or skim the surface shallow; or for want of those tools, if the weeds or grass arise, hand-hoe it in March. If the manure be used, spread it on the lay in spring, and plough it in; in either case, dibble in the sets straight from the centre of every other furrow, from plant to plant. Keep clean by hand-hoeing; but a narrow skim may be passed along the intervals. Weed the rows if necessary.—When the crop is taken up plough across the former furrows.
This method is applicable also to dry moors and wastes capable of being ploughed; and by paring and burning the surface, during the dry north-east winds of March, dung may be saved. To add lime in such cases, to the ashes, is beneficial.
After an early crop of grass for lay, or after the first crop of clover, the land may be ploughed and potatoes dibbled in, if proper sets have been preserved for that purpose; and in the more southern parts of the island a good crop may be obtained.
Lazy Beds. —Upon bogs partially, or wholly drained, and upon such rough soils as are difficult to plough, this method may be adopted. Pare and burn the surface; add lime to the ashes. Strike the land into straight beds six feet wide, with intervals of two feet, or two and a half. Lay the sets twelve inches square on the beds, and cover them two or three inches deep with spades, from the intervals; when the plants appear, cover them again in the same manner, one and a half or two inches more. Keep them clean by one hand hoeing, and successive weeding. They may be taken up with the plough by splitting the beds, and filling the former intervals; converting the open furrows left in the centre of the former beds into drains, deep enough to leave the land dry in winter.
3. Produce. —In any of these methods the farmer may expect from 2 to 300 bushels an acre, 65lb. per bushel. Some soils will yield more, and some may afford less. The selling price throughout the kingdom may be reckoned from 1s. to 1s. 6d. the bushel; at 1s. 3d. 300 bushels yields 181. 15s. the acre; even at 1s. it is 151. the expences will vary with circumstances, but they can scarcely be reckoned more than 101. and consequently leave from 51. to 81. 15s. profit per acre, counting on an average. In some places the charges will run higher; in others perhaps something less. The drill method is by much the cheapest. If the whole should not be saleable, the rest may be given to fattening oxen, to horses, and to any other live stock, with advantage, particularly if when boiled or steam-rolled, a handful of salt may be added to two bushels of Potatoes.
4. Double Crops. —In Cornwall, in Cheshire, in Lancashire, and in the neighborhood of London, two crops have been obtained from the same ground in one year, the mode of raising which will be found in the agricultural reports from the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire.*—Those who raise early Potatoes, may certainly have a second crop on the same ground.
5. The following Crop. —Wheat has been sown with success after Potatoes; but barley or oats are more to be recommended. On dry moory soils treated as above, turnips may follow, fed off by sheep, and these by spring corn and grasses.
6. Preservation. —The most approved method, is that of digging in a very dry spot, trenches, six feet wide and eighteen inches deep: spread straw; pile the Potatoes into the shape of the roof of a house; cover tight and close with straw six inches thick; and then with earth fifteen to eighteen more: statted regularly and firmly, and sharp at top, raised from three to
five feet above ground. If there shall be any apprehension of moisture, dig a trench at a few yards off, deeper than that in which the roots are laid. The drier they are when thus packed up, the safer they will be.
7. General Hints. —There are a great number of borders round the corn fields of every farm, which may be broken up to great advantage, as Potatoes always thrive best upon newly broken up ground; and if the soil shall be tolerably good, the turf being inverted about eight or ten inches depth, will be nearly as efficacious as dung.
Upon large farms labourers may be allowed to plant for themselves, in such angles and corners as might otherwise be neglected, which would be a beneficial indulgence to them, and no material loss to the possessor. In wales in general also, Potatoes might be raised with little manure to great advantage.
8. Potatoe Bread. —To those who prefer making Potatoes into bread, to the common modes of using them, the following recipe is recommended.
"Choose the most mealy sort of Potatoes, boil and skin them. Take 12lbs. break and strain well through a very coarse sieve of hair, or a very fine one of wire, in such manner as to reduce the roots, as nearly as possible, to a state of flour. Mix it well with 20lbs. of wheaten flour. Of this mixture make and set the dough exactly in the same manner as if the whole were wheaten flour. This quantity will make nine loaves of about 5lbs. each in the dough, and when baked about two hours, will produce 42 lbs. of excellent bread."
The raw Potatoe also, skinned and grated down, and mixed with flour in the above proportion, makes very good bread.
The Board takes the liberty of desiring the Clergy, in their several parishes to have the goodness to communicate the above to their neighbours; and at the same time to encourage, as much as they can, the farmers and cottagers to plant Potatoes this spring, in order that the kingdom may experience no scarcity, if the next harvest should prove either very late, or not sufficiently productive in bread corn.
The Board would have taken a more direct and respectful mode of requesting the assistance both of the Clergy and Laity, in promoting these objects, had they not conceived this to be the most expeditious and extensive.
The Board will be happy to give any additional information, to those who may be inclined to enter with zeal and energy into the measures above proposed. Any letters upon the subject, may be addressed Sir John Sinclair, Bart. M. P. London, or to any other member of the Board.
A more enlarged paper pointing out the experiments necessary for bringing the culture of Potatoes to perfection, is preparing, and will soon be published. In the interim, the Board thought it advisable to print and circulate the preceding hints as early as possible, that the attention of the public might be drawn to so important an object; and that those who might be induced, from the recommendation of the Board of Agriculture, to attend to the culture of this valuable root, might have it in their power, to take without delay, the necessary steps for that purpose, more especially that of securing, without loss of time, a sufficient quantity of the best sorts for planting.
Signed, by order of the Board, JOHN SINCLAIR, President. Whitehall, Feb. 20th 1795.
* The method pursued in Cheshire for raising early Potatoes, is to keep the sets of the earliest kinds in a warm place, where they may sprout at least three inches by the beginning of March, being covered with straw or rushes every night in frost. They are carefully planted with the sprouts on, in drills, in a light soil: the end of the sprout just under the surface of the ground. Yield a crop by the middle of May—Cheshire Report, p. 18.—See also Lancashire report, p. 32; where a very full account is given of the process.
NEW-HAVEN, May 20.
THE LATE PRESIDENT STILES,
Was born at North-Haven, Nov. 29, A. D. 1727, O. S. He was graduated at Yale College in the year 1746; and in 1749 was called to the office of a Tutor in that College, in which station he continued six years. He was settled in the pastoral office at Newport, in Rhode-Island, in the year 1755. In 1776, being obliged by the events of the war to leave his congregation at Newport, he was called to preach at Portsmouth, in New-Hampshire; at which place he declined an offered settlement, hoping that at some future period his flock might be gathered, and that he might again take the oversight of them at Newport.
In 1777 he was elected President of Yale College, and afterwards Professor of Ecclesiastical History; and in June, 1778, was installed in the Presidentship, in which he continued till his death.—He maintained an extensive literary correspondence with learned men, both in this, and in foreign countries; was a member of the most respectable Philosophical Societies in America, and received the first honors of some of the principal universities in the United States and Great-Britain.
So frequent has it become to parody the dead, that, in attempting to sketch a character of this eminent and worthy man, it is difficult to do justice

to his memory. Possessed of great strength, and singular versatility of genius, he applied himself at an early period of life to the study of literature and general science; and by unwearied assiduity, united with an extraordinary acumen of mind, and retentiveness of memory, soon raised himself to that conspicuous rank, which he richly merited and long enjoyed in the literary world. Of the various stations, which in the course of providence he was called to fill, he discharged the functions with singular ability and reputation. His mind, formed by nature to familiarity the most true, and to give nobility and elevation to the most familiar subjects, was peculiarly calculated for the duties of that exalted office which he sustained in the republic of letters, and in which he became signally instrumental in promoting the happiness of his country and of mankind, by disseminating the principles of religion, morality and useful knowledge. Elevated by christian hope and fortitude above the dread of temporal misfortunes, endowed with the tenderest sensibility of mind, but patient and submissive under trials the most severe; humble in the midst of exaltation and literary fame, benevolent and charitable to all, he "held his course unswerving," in the paths of science and virtue, and laudably devoted his time and talents to the service of mankind.
As a minister of the gospel he was distinguished for very uncommon attainments in theological learning, for unequalled eloquence and fervid piety. In discharging the duties of life it was the object of his constant and highest ambition, to be an humble follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. The more sublime and glorious truths of christianity were subjects on which he was of all men the most eloquent, and on which he ever conversed with an evangelical delight and rapture. His manners and conduct in life were uniformly regulated by an habitual regard to the great ends of his existence; and into his most familiar converse he introduced the important doctrines of religion with a pertinacity, grace and propriety, which always commanded admiration. Amidst the frequent and violent attacks which have been directed against the christian faith, he stood unshaken, and gloried in the cross of Christ.
His character reflected dignity on the literary institution over which he presided. In the intricacies of science he was "always ready, always adequate." Possessing, in an eminent degree, the faculty of infusing with facility the principles of useful science into the minds of his pupils, his academic duties were his delight. From the repositories of learning he had collected a rich and copious store of knowledge, by the faithful distribution of which he has signally contributed to the honor and improvement of his country. He was ever solicitously attentive to the welfare of those with whom education he was entrusted; and in his declining years enjoyed the satisfaction of witnessing the prosperity and rising eminence of many, whom his parental care and literary labours had qualified for extensive usefulness in life.
In his domestic relations he possessed all those qualities which adorn humanity, and render social life a blessing. Polite without affectation, learned without arrogance, charitable without ostentation, condescending in manners, familiar but dignified, candid but independent in sentiment, and scrupulously just, he at once commanded the reverence, and conciliated the affections of all.
Of such an assemblage of varied excellence in a single person, the world has afforded but few examples. By the death of this distinguished character, the University over which he presided, has lost an inestimable treasure of wisdom and learning; his bereaved family a faithful and affectionate counsellor, guardian and protector; the church of Christ a firm and stable pillar; literature and science a distinguished luminary; liberty and the rights of human nature an able and strenuous advocate; and the world a virtuous man.

ARRIVED AT THIS PORT.
Brig Eliza, Van Zandt, St. Croix Loring, Gore, Madeira Schr. Polly, Griffin, Bermuda Sloop Jane, Jackson, Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon, in the severe gale, we learnt that in Hempstead (L. I.) five barns, several dwelling houses, orchards, fences, woods, &c. have been blown down. Never was known in that part of the country the like devastation in so short a time: we heard that a whole orchard, except one tree was torn up by the roots. From the information of one of the Pilots we learnt that Admiral Murray's Squadron is now anchored within the Hook.
Diary. By the papers from the 24th to the 29th March, it appears that the charges against Collet, Billaud and Barrere, are not likely to be brought very speedily or very quietly to issue. Their adversaries employ against them all the means of misrepresentation and calumny, which they complain of as having been formerly employed against themselves or their friends. Every appearance of tumult, every complaint arising from the real or apprehended scarcity of provisions, is industriously held out as connected with some attempt to rescue them from justice. On the other hand, Carnot, Lindet, Prieur, Cambon, &c. all the members of the old committees of government, if we may judge from the difficulties they had to surmount, the vigour, activity, and success of their measures; the ablest actors on the chequered scene of the Revolution, supported by a resolute, if not a numerous party in the convention, stand boldly forward in their defence, reject the proffered amnesty with regard to themselves, and declare that they will never separate their own cause from that of their persecuted colleagues.
LONDON, April 7. HOLWOOD ECHO.
In the Groves of Holwood, the seat of the Right Hon. William Pitt, is a celebrated Echo, which returns every word with astonishing precision. A Gentleman, who lately paid a visit to that enchanting spot, received the following extraordinary Replies to the subsequent Sentences:— The French have got to Amsterdam. Echo.—Dam. We shall conquer France most certainly. Echo.—Lie. Dundas proposes to increase the Navy. Echo.—Knave he. What can destroy constructive Treason? Echo.—Reason. How is Liberty—when the Habeas Corpus Act is suspended? Echo.—Ended. What shall we call the great Dundas? Echo.—Ass. What can good Englishmen derive from Stanhope? Echo.—Hope. Windham they say confounds both good and evil. Echo.—Devil. What must we do the constitution to secure? Echo.—Cure. The ministers all act with one accord. Echo.—A Cord. What do the French mean to do this country to overcome? Echo.—Over-come. Great Pitt, may you grow fat & farewell. Echo.—Farewell.
Prince and Princess of Wales.
Both the Prince and Princess were extremely affected on their first interview, but particularly the former. The Princess on approaching the Prince bent her knee; his Royal Highness snatched her up and embraced her, it was some minutes before he could give utterance to his feelings. We speak from the best authority when we say that his Royal Highness is extremely happy and pleased with his lovely cousin.
In the evening, the mob becoming rather uproarious in their expressions of loyalty and attachment before the Princess's apartments, in Cleveland-row, her Serene Highness, in a voice replete with melody, and delicacy of tone, thus addressed the people from the palace window.
"Believe me, I feel very happy and delighted to see the good and brave English People—The best nation upon earth." Her Highness withdrawing, the Prince of Wales waved his hand, and obtaining a respectful silence, said,
"My good Friends, It gives me great pleasure to witness the many proofs you have given this day of your loyalty to the King and attachment to his family. The Princess is equally obliged to you. There is not any occasion for me, I am sure, to inform you, what you all very well know, that the Princess has just arrived, after a very long journey, and consequently, as you must naturally suppose, is not a little fatigued; and on that account you will, I am well persuaded, excuse our retiring, with again heartily thanking you for your kindness and attention, and wishing you all good night." The crowd then withdrew.
IRISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS. Tuesday, March 24.
HIS Excellency having come to the House in State, the Right Honourable the Speaker, followed by a number of the Commons, attended at the bar the Money Bills and presented at the bar the Money Bills that had been returned from England; after which the Speaker delivered the following speech from the Commons:
"The Commons attend your Excellency with their supplies, which go the utmost extent of every estimate and desire laid before them by his Majesty's Ministers, and are much larger than have ever been granted in any one session; but it is their determined resolution at all times to stand or fall with Great Britain, and that resolution is now, if possible, still more strengthened by every circumstance of foreign and internal consideration in these eventful times. They, therefore, feel it their duty, their interest, and their anxious wish to support the empire through the present unprovoked and destructive war, with all that is most dear to them—their lives and fortunes."
"In their appropriation of these supplies, they have shown their early attention to the sure and natural strength of the British empire, her navy, by granting 200,000. for procuring seamen; and they have provided for augmenting the militia, an institution which, by the indefatigable exertions both of men and officers, is the admiration, and will be the salvation of this kingdom."
"It is owing to the unexampled prosperity and growing resources of the nation that they have been enabled to raise the large sum which they now offer to his Majesty, without laying much additional burthen on the people, or lessening those bounties and pecuniary encouragements under which our trade and manufactures have increased and are encircling; and the same causes have allowed them, amidst these liberal supplies, to gratify his Majesty's paternal benevolence, and their own anxious feelings, by relieving all the poorer classes from the tax of hearth money."
"Satisfied, however, that those resources and that prosperity cannot be permanent without an effectual attention to the sobriety of the people, to their morals and peaceable subordination to the laws, they have, by an arrangement of duties, which promises also an increase of revenue, relieved the brewery from all restriction of taxes, so as to give it a decided advantage over the distillery, and thereby discourage the two frequent or immoderate use of spirituous liquors—a measure which must conduce to sobriety, tranquility, and content, and under which the people, encouraged to regular industry, and the consequent acquisition of wealth, must feel the blessings of the happy constitution under which they live, and cherish and preserve it from all change or innovation."
DUBLIN, March 21.
Parties of horse and foot not only patrolled the streets on Tuesday night, but also on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The ostensible cause was said to be, that the lower orders would continue for most of the week in a state of intoxication, though such a precaution was not taken in any preceding year.
The Irish Papers, which were brought by the Mail yesterday, continue to abound with Addresses and Resolutions, similar to those of which we have already given specimens, respecting the late measures in that country; in short, the People of Ireland appear to speak but with one voice. —Happy will it probably be for both countries, if the Government of Great Britain shall be induced to listen to that voice before it is too late!!
March 30.
We hear from Liverpool that a number of vessels, some wholly and others partly laden, embargoed for some time past in that port, had accepted an offer from government to contract for transporting a body of five thousand infantry from thence to this country for its defence. Three of these, having 400 men on board, arrived since Saturday afternoon. The goods on board these vessels were reloaded previous to their sailing.
March 31.
Last night Mr. Grogan, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Hay, delegated by the county of Wexford to present the petition of the Freeholders of that county to his Majesty on the recall of Lord Fitzwilliam, sailed for Holyhead. Mr. Grogan possesses an estate in Wexford of six thousand pounds per annum—and the two other gentlemen have also considerable property in that part of the kingdom.
His Majesty has issued orders under his sign manual, for immediately raising four new Regiments of Cavalry, on the British establishment; the commands of which are given to the following General Officers, viz. 1. Lieutenant-General Lord Heathfield. 2. Lieutenant-General Manners. 3. Major-General Brathwaite. 4. Major Stuart, brother to the Earl of Bute.
The Flora frigate is ordered to be immediately got ready, to carry out the Earl of Bute, who is about to be appointed Ambassador to Spain. The Noble Lord and his suite are to land at Cadiz.
It is reported that Sir Roger Curtis's flag will be hoisted on board the Queen Charlotte, during Lord Howe's indisposition, and that he will sail with a Squadron of eight sail of the line on a cruise, immediately after Admiral Colpoys's Squadron returns to port.
There was no less than eleven mails on board the Princess Royal packet, which is now concluded to have fallen into the hands of the enemy. There were remittances on board to our merchants to the amount of several millions, but as these were entirely in paper, they can be of no use to the French. The inconvenience here, however, will we fear, be a good deal felt.
Extract of a letter from Guernsey, dated March 27.
"I would not let the Packet depart without acquainting you of the report of some persons who escaped from a French Prison, and arrived here last night, which is, that the news mentioned in the Convention, of Charette having surrendered, and concluded a Treaty with them, far from being true, is wholly the reverse. The former news which we received was, that the Republicans had got hold of our signals, and by that means got possession of a quantity of arms and ammunition sent by our government; but it appears that those which were intercepted, were taken after being landed, and that they did not amount to any thing of consequence. The present report is, that General Charette has actually had a conference with the French Republican General, near Nantz, and that General Charette has insisted on treating for establishing a limited Monarchy, otherwise that he assured himself of being able to march, in a short time, 150,000 armed men to Paris, to enforce the measure."
Two new commissioners from the States General have arrived in a flag of truce fishing-vessel, of and from Scheveling. They are charged with dispatches for our government.
We have accounts from Holland, that the Council of Rotterdam has, at the request of the French general, published a proclamation, by which all the burghers are summoned to deposit at the Stadt-house, in the space of twenty-four hours, all property or effects of any kind whatever, which they may have belonging to any English.
The national debt in Holland, amounts to five hundred millions of Dutch florins.
NEWBURYPORT, May 30.
Last Tuesday evening two persons, viz. Joseph Smith and William Brown, were committed to the jail in this town, charged with having, on the night of Monday last, entered the dwelling-house of capt. Benjamin Tappan, and stealing therefrom a number of valuable articles—The shop of Mr. James Smith, from which they took some property, likewise broke open a vessel belonging to capt. Joseph Stanwood. They appear to be two of the fellows who escaped from Castle Island some time since, and stole a small Schooner, in which they proceeded to Plymouth, where they left the vessel, after writing on her "This Schooner belongs to Dorchester."
Last Tuesday the repairing of the bridge over the mouth of Powaws River, between the towns of Salisbury and Amesbury, was begun. It is superintended by Mr. Melatiah Merrill and Capt. Joseph Hoyt, from whose abilities the most effectual repair may be anticipated.
From Amsterdam, March 21.
On the 9th of Feb. Citizen Adams, Minister of the United States, having informed the states that several captains of American vessels were unwilling to submit to the inspection required in the ports of Holland, the assembly resolved to enjoin upon the Port Officers to inspect at discretion all vessels, and to arrest all persons found without passports, and ordered that a copy of this proclamation should be given to Citizen Adams, and all the ministers of the neutral powers.
BOSTON, May 30.
A windmill was raised in Holliston, May 20th, upon Pope's construction, 45 feet high from the sill, exclusive of the roof and vane; the whole building was conducted by the ingenuity, industry and perseverance of Moses Lealand, an aspiring young artist, 21 years of age.
Mr. Russel.
In the Centinel of the 20th inst. I observed a villainous breach of confidence, presented for the detestation of the American public, said to be committed by a Joseph Perkins, of the Schooner Polly of Kennebec. You will oblige the inhabitants of Kennebec, by publishing for the information of the public, that there is no such vessel, nor master of vessel, of that name, belonging to Kennebec. Mr. Bangs must have labored under a mistake, as to where the vessel and master belonged; as there is not a master of a vessel belonging to Kennebec, but who detests such conduct, and the villain that is guilty of it.
Yours, &c. T. P. 3d. Kennebec, May 23, 1795.
PITTSBURGH, May 30.
By captain Buchanan, who arrived here on Thursday last from Fort Le Boeuf, we are informed, that the Indians killed a man by the name of Rutledge, about two miles on this side Presqu'isle, on the road to that place, and that three others are missing. This murder, no doubt, is in retaliation for
wounding the squaw and lad mentioned in our last.
The persons who perpetrated this act of barbarity on the squaw and lad, are said to be known; it is the duty of the civil officers to have them apprehended and brought to trial, that they may suffer the punishment of the law, and be considered as enemies to the peace and happiness of this country.
PHILADELPHIA, June 5.
Of all the theatrical candidates for public approbation which have appeared perhaps there is not a more deserving one than Mr. Harwood—his professional talents are truly astonishing—they have been often employed during the present season—and his exertions to give general satisfaction have been great and unremitting.
A disinterested admirer of Mr. H. therefore hopes that the public will show their grateful acknowledgement of his merit by a full attendance at the theatre on the evening of his benefit.
P.
The Senate of the United States pursuant to summons will assemble on Monday next.
The following members are in town viz. Mr. Langdon, Mr. Livermore, Mr. Foster, Mr. Brown, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Bingham.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Reviews, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- traced from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. 2. The Inquisitor —By Mrs. Rowson, 2- vol. Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols. 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia —By Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every considerable action, whosoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as Eng- lish wings, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

PROPOSALS
Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, FOR BUILDING A LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seagull Island, near the mouth of Kenne- beck river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Di- mensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foun- dation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if prac- ticable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half be- low the surface of the earth, and to be com- menced of the diameter of twenty-seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wood- en work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six in- ches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be er- ected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well fram- ed, and of stout heart pine timber. It is to be twenty six feet in diameter at the base, there- of where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron truss built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden build- ing from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be capped with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the wa- ter.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well pain- ted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two win- dows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, plank over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole hav- ing a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or flanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These flanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches a- bove. The Lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the poles to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid.
Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the south-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel;— thro' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be four pairs of stairs ascend- ing to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper.
The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank, of at least one inch and one half in thickness. The entrance to the Light-House is to be well secured by a strong door hung upon hinges, with a strong lock and latch complete.
Also a Frame house to be thirty four feet in front and sixteen feet deep, with a cel- lar under it. The cellar walls to be eight- teen inches thick, and seven feet high. The first story of the house is to be eight feet, and the second, seven feet six inches high, the floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The stack of Chimneys with two plain fire places on each floor, one of them large for a kitchen; two windows below, and three above in front and rear, each sash to have eighteen panes of glass ten by eight inches. The doors to be hung and furnished completely.— The ceilings and sides of the house to be plastered with two coats, all the wood work inside & out to be well painted & the whole to be finished in a plain decent manner.
An oil Vault to be built twenty by twelve feet in the clear; arched over and covered with earth or sand over which a shed is to be built—It is to be furnished with nine strong cedar cisterns, with co- vers, each capable of containing two hun- dred gallons.
The entrance to the vault is to be secur- ed by a strong door. A well is to be sunk at a convenient distance, and furnished with a curb, bucket and rope completely. The builder to find and pay for all the ma- terials, labor, workmanship, provisions, and other objects of cost, charge or ex- pence for a sum to be agreed upon and to execute the before described work and every part thereof in a good and workman- like manner.
Convenient payments or advances, on se- curity will be made.
