Rhode-Ifland agaiuft joining the genera! go vernment. In whatever light the fubjeft is viewed, no reasonable man can find any apo logy for such obstinacy and perverfencfs. Perhaps no part ot the United States is so illy situated to maintain a feperatc indepen dence. The hour is approaching when Con gress will be under the necessity of some kind cf interference, and, though we entertain the molt exalted ideas of the justice and modera tion of that illuftrioos body, we Hill believe they will not quietly* fuffer the revenue to be defeated by the iniquitous condud of a Hate which they can so easily controul. The President has been iudifpofed with a flight fever for a few days past ; but the pub lic-anxiety may be abated, by the ajfurance that he is now much better. 3c is reported that, in consequence of a skirmish having taken place between the crew of an American boat trading down the river Miffilippi, and a party of Spanilh soldiers, the Governor of Mew Orleans has represent ed the affair to the Spanilh Ambalfador at New-York, requeuing him to lay it before Congress. PHILADELPHIA, May 28. On Tuefday afternoon anchored at this port, a polacrc, formerly commanded by Captain Feerer, with paifengers returned from Car thagena. These people, previous to thdir departure from this port, in different velfels, were naturalized fubjefts of Spain: If then, when difeontent or other motives, Ibould promjit the Spanilh government to feud them to the place from which it lohcited them to emigrate, lick, enfeebled, and still more de bauched in their principles, than when they went away, fiiould not the policy of Phila delphia rigoroufty oppose the dangerous im position ?—lt is well known that some of the molt daring prostitutes of both sexes, have returned from their voluntary banishment. We hear from the call branch of Sufque- Lanna, that many of the American loyalists, who followed the Britith standard to Niagara, have returned to the United States, fiuce the tirhe for ilfuing the royal provilion has ceafecf These deluded perfous are now purchaling farms in their native country. Some of them have fettled at Tioga, where there appear* to be appearances of a town and improvements of the werteru extremity of the ftaie. We learn further, that the inhabitants of Luzeiue in the neighbourhood of Wyoming, are peaceable and obedient to government; and that from the late rapid incieafe of pro duce of all kinds on the Sufquchauna, there is reason to believe the lands on that river wilt focn become a moll valuable addition to the commercial tefources of the city of Philadel phia. ExtraS of a letter fran a gentleman ,n Leba non, to bis friend in ibis lonxn, dated May 24, 1789. The extraordinary cures performed by the Rrfverend Mr. William Stoy, minister of the German congregation of this town, on per-, sons bit by mad dogs, will no doubt remove your anxiety for the recovery of your friend. He has saved the lives of at lead three hun dred perfous within these tour years past, sixty of whom were cured since Christmas last ; some of them were brought with all the fympsoms of the hoi rid disorder, in particu lar a Mir. B- , a reputable merchant from New-York, came to this town last fall in the height of the hydrophobia, and in fart raving mad —the medecioes had the most mi* xaculous effeft, it restored him to his senses in the small space of 24 hours. This per haps wiil appear fabulous to some, but the fads can be proved by thousands, who saw the unfortunate object before and since the ex periment took place. Mr. Stoy is about iay ing his discovery before Congress, on condi tion of his being allowed a reward.” Extra 3 of a Liter Jrom Ne w-Tork, June 2;. “ Last evening Major Butler of the Senate, and Mr. Huger of the House of Reptclenta tives, rode out in a chair.

We are informed that his Excellency Tho mas Jeffcrfon, Mlinifter Plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of France, has requested leave to vifit* America; and that the President has granted him pcfmillion accordingly. We further learn, that this event was made known to the Sebate on the 17th june by a meilage from the President, who at the fame time waspleafed to nominate William Short, Esq, Chargedts Affaires for the Unit ed States, at that Court, during the absence of Mr. Jefferfbn. The nomination, we hear, is confirmed by the Senate. In the House of Reprcfentatives of the United States, on the 18th May, on motion of Mr. Goodhue, a committee was appoint ed to bring in a bill, providing for the enu meration of the inhabitants of the United States, agreeably to the Constitution.
