The reafon of thePhs'en leaving her ftation in the Medi-

been carried to an alarming hci'iht. I'hc furgeon, in a violent
difpute with the cnmiTiandvr, Capt. Dawfon, had the temerity
to ftrike l im, lor which ConimoJcre C fby tried him by a
court irarrial, who Icund hiiw guilty, and he is r.ow on board
under fi ptrnce of death. Repeated complaints were daily pre
ferred agsinli tUc other gentlemen, with rscriminat.on on their
parts. As well to prevent his Majelly's quarter-deck being fur*
thcr difgractd by pcrfonaldifpHtes, and a total warn of fubor*
dination where it is Hsoft neceffary, as to give Mr. Wardropc, the
furgctn, in all refpedfs a valuable and wortliy member of focie-
ty, an opj>ortunity of appealing to the fountain of mercy fer a
repeal of his fad fentence, the Commodore ordered the fiigate
home.

HINTS.
The prefent trade laws of France
permit coal to be carried From Ame
rica to their free ports in the Weft-
Indies. The Virginia pits fupply it
at fcven-pcnce fterling per buftiel.
The large fogar-ftiips from France,
going to Virginia with fait, &c. might
take our coal, lumber, &c. to their
iflands, in a little more time than they
employ in the paflagefrom France to
the iflands.
Federal Hints.
The friends to the new conftitution
in every ftale in the union (hould en
deavour, with all their might, tobalBe
the attempts of its enemies ; for fuch
undoubtedly are the men who, after
having endeavoured to excite popular
prejudices againft it, arc now calling
aloud for amendments to remove thofe
prejudices, which fortunately for our
country, chiefly exift in their own
wild imaginations.
There IS a great difference, bet ween
amending and ieftroying the conftituti
on. Who arc the fitted pcrlons to be
entrufted with the arduous , talk of
ametiding it ? and who arc the moft
likely to deftroy it ?
It is neceflary that every friend to his'
country Ibould vote for fenatots and
r^prelentatives who are firmly federal,
and for fuch only.
It is’nb'fclS^iicccffary that men of fi-
milar principles fhould be chofen as
eleftors of a Prefidcnt and Vice-Pre-
fident of the United States.
But above all, it is fndifpenfably re-
quifitc to the perfeft eftablifhmcnt of
the conftitution, that men, diftinguilh-
ed for their patriotifm, abilities and at
tachment to the federal meafures, be
appointed to thole two exalted ftations:
therefore thcclcftors ftiould endeavour
to unite their interefts, not only in
fupport of Washington, but alfo of
Adams : for though there are many
of elated merit in the union*, there is
none more deferving than "John Adams.
Should different Federalifts be put
up in nomination for Vicc-Prclident,
the federal intereft will be divided, and
Clinton of New-York may c^eep in.
If the federalifts aft with unanimi
ty, Clinton’s chance of being ap
pointed Vice-Prclident will be as bad
as Paddy Henry’s profpeft of being
chofen Prelident.
It would feem, fays a correfpondent,
from the whole of the proceedings of
the governor-^ and affembiy of New-
York, that they willi to prevent the
new Congrels fitting in their ftate. By
refufihg to appoint fenators, they will
loofea vote in one branch of the Icgif-
lature of the United State, upon the
queftion of the future refidence of Con-
grefs. Surely the grand council of our
nation will not honor a government
vvith their prcfcncc, where federal prin
ciples and charafters have been lo of
ten infuited. Who will enfure the vir
tue of our reprefentatives, and fenators
in fuch an anti-fcdcral ftate.
Strange! that a city, which was,
during the war, the fink of Britifh
politics, and which is now the head
quarters of anti-fcderalilm, Ihould be
the feat of the pure republican go
vernment of the United States I
BALTIMORE, January 9.
The anfwerof theGencralf Affembiy of the'ftate of New* Yerk
to his Excdiency Governor Clinton's late fpetch, eootains the
following paragtaph :
..“ Excellency, and the late conventien of

cfthe cMvention, expreffed in their circular letter, weftiall por-
fue with an ardour and perfeverance adequate to the importance
of the objea, every meafure which will tend to induce a fpcedy
revilion of the general fyftem of government, by a new conven*
tion ; and wc are convinced fuch a revifion only can allay the
apprehenfions excited by thofe parts ©f that fyftem, which was
confldered as exceptionable."

We know of no foundation for the illiberal remark of the

that the Engl Ih people have been fo lone habituated to the cof*
