will benefit tKemfelves. They observe that it
will not leflen their present trade with us,
as we now take but a fqw dry goods of them,
and that we ftiaH for many year* continue
their customers for cambricks, wines, bran-'
dy,’ &c.
They wilh us to have a navigation ad, as
they fay it will eifcourage our (hipping add
ancreafe our seamen and (hip carpenters; they
fay then when they are at war, we will be
able tc afiift them with our (hip carpenters

ei the efiential service they have rendered
theinfelves by aflifling us to procure our in
dependence, and as they lee we (hall become
a great and poweiful nation, they like'found
politicians coijrt us for our friend (hip in time,.
We exped also, that manufacturers with
large capitals, will come over to this coun
try from England and Ireland, &c. and make
their fortunes, and.afterwards return ti/Eu-
Top# and enjoy them,
It is thought that many people of property
in Great-Britain, will come here and build
(hips, in order to reap the sweets of our car
rying trade, which would answer iheir pur
pose well ; thty would without doubt iu that
ease, build the veflels with the live oak of
tbe southern States, as it i 6 found to lad lon
ger than the oak of any other country.
Foiefgnefs by building veflels in America,-
jWil! require a ltfs Capital to manage the car
rying bufmefs than it now docs by building
their lhips in Europe; by this manoeuvre
they will make surd of keeping the American
seamen in their employ, rind- will at the ftrae
time make trade brisk in this country.'

Everyday,' fays a correfpondent,adds to
the weighty arguments in favor of the pro
posed Federal Conflitution—The friends of
the American Union in Europe and Kentucky
have certainly a belief," that overtures have
been made by Great-Britain to leading cha
racters on the Weftern waters, to induce
the inhabitants of that country to diflever
themselves from their brethren on the Atlan
tic. This idea has been fuggefled, no doubt,
by the late divisions and diflrifled politics of
our country; and nothing can prevent its
being carried into execution but a firm uriiou,
a conflitution of general government with Ef
ficient powers, and a wife-and hbneft admi
niflration. Were we to lose the govern
ment now proposed to the people of America,
and fall into Angle and separate states, and
the people of the Wcflcrn country were id
he reduced into the fcheiues of Great-Britain,
iniferable would be the situation of Virginia,
the Carolinas, and Georgia, on the fouth,
and of New-HaropOure, and New-York on
the north. Some of them would be feued
by Britain as their outlet to the Atlantic ; ity
they would rather rifque a quarrel with a fin-*
gie detached American date, from which
they could fear nothing, than hazard a quar
rel with the House of Bourbon.

into operation, in pursuance of the 1 resoluti

ExtraQ of a letter from Voughhcpjie , July 3.
** We fyndly (hut in vain) expefted that
the ratification of Virginia Would have a ve
ry serious effeft on the minds ofthe anti-fe
deral party, and would have conflituted so
forcible ad appeal to their appreheufious,
that it would have compelled them to adopt
a fyflem different from that deftruftive one
they seem intent on pursuing.
“We find that the powers of eloquence ,
and argument are unavailing ; we (hall there
fore refrain from any other exeTtions in de
fence cf the conflitution.
u We (liall close the whole business with
a strong pathetic address to their fears and
their feelings, arising Com the new situation
cf the State, if placed out of the union, and
the dreadful consequences that must ensue.
“ We are waiting with great impatience
for the aft of Congress, to put government
in motion, by fixing the previous arrange
ments and the time for commencing pro
ceedings under the new Conflitution.
«* This will add much energy to our ar
guments, will change the nature of the
ground, and will beget a new relative situa
tion betwixt the reprefentativesand their con- (
flituents, which was not in contemplation at
, the time of their being elefted. This pro
bably will be the foundation of an appeal of
the minority toj he 1 inhabitants ofthe State.
