To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
The ADDRESS of the Convention of the UNIVER
SAL CHURCH, a'fembled in Philadelphia. I 790.
S 1 R,
PERMIT us in the name of the Society whom
we represent, to concur in the numerous con
gratulations which have been offered to you since
your accefiion to the government of the United
States.
For an account of our principles we beg leave
to refer you to the pamphlet, which we have now
the honor ti> put into your hands. In this pub
lication it will appear, that the peculiar dodtrine
which we hold, is »ot less friendly to the order
and happiness of society, than it is eflential to the
perfe&ions of the Deity.
It is a Angular circumstance in the liiftory of
thisdo&rine, that it has been preached and de
fended in every age, since the firft promulgation
of the eofpel, but we represent the firft society
profefling this doiflkine, that have formed them
selves into an independent church. Posterity
will hardly fail of connecting this memorable
event, with the auspicious years of peace, liberty
and free inquiry in the United States, whichdif
tinguifhed the adrniniftration o(General Wajking
ton.
We join thus publicly with our afifecftionate
fellow-citizens in thanks to Almighty God for
the -laji of his numerous signal atftt of goodness
to our country in preserving your valuable life in
a late dangerous indisposition, and we affureyou
Sir, that duty will not prompt us n>ore than af
fe<flion to pray, that you may long continue the
support and ornament of our country, and that
you may hereafter fill a higher flation, and enjoy
the greater reward of being a King and Priett to
our God.
Signed in behalf and by order of the Convention,
To the CONVENTION of the UNIVERSAL
CHURCH, lately assembled at Philadelphia.
Gentlemen,
I THANK you cordially for the congratulations
which you offer on my appointment to the of
fice I have the honor to hold in the government
of the United States.
It gives me the most sensible pleasure to find,
that,in our nation, however different are the fen
timentsof the citizens on religious dodirines,they
generally concur in one thing: For their politi
cal profeflionsand practices arealmoft universal
ly friendly to the order and happiness of ourci
•vil institutions. lam also happy in finding this
disposition particularly evinced by your Society,
It is moreover my earned desire, that all the
members of every association or community,
throughout the United States, may make such
"use of the auspicious years of peace, liberty, and
free inquiry, with which they are now favored,
as they lhall hereafter find occasion to rejoice for
having done.—With great fatisfaftion, I em
brace this opportunity to express my acknow
ledgments for theintereft my affe<flionate fellow
citizens have taken in my recovery from a late
dangerous indisposition and I allure you gentle
men, that in mentioning my obligations for the
efFufions of your benevolent wiflies on my behalf,
I feel animated with new zeal, that my conduct
may ever be worthy of yonr favorable opinion,
as well as such as shall, in every refpeil, belt
cbmport with the character of an intelligent and
accountable being. G. WASHINGTON.
FROM THE COLUMBIAS CENTIXEL
Mr. RUSSELL,
I SEND you an extract from Dixon's Voyage
round the world, performed in 1785, '86, '87
and'Bß—from which some idea may be formed
of the commercial importance of the obje<!l con
tended for by England, in the present fracas
■with Spain—and, perhaps, some inducement
held out to our countrymen, to imitate the en
terprize of the gentlemen who fitted out the Co
lumbia and Washington. As wilhingto pro
mote the interelts of commerce, I doubt not your
inferring itin, the Centinel. Your's

Itone, extremely strong and neat, of the bed workmanship. The
running geers, machinery and fixtures of the whole, commodioui
ly and judiciously contrived, and performed in the most masterly
and advantageous manner, on large and improvfd plans. Tni
different departments are conveniently disposed and arranged at

high floods ; has its source in the main body of the river ; a co
pious proportion whereof, to any reasonable degree of quantity,
is at pleasure colle&rd and turned in by a compleat set of well
conftrutted strong dams, which have not broke, or given wav,
since their formation, near nineteen years past.—The head ?nd
fall of the water operating on the wheels, is about twenty feet:
thegreateft part of the works are in good repair, and the whole

conveyance by water ; nor is there any Forge within 90 miles,
nor a Slitting mill at all in this State, which might share the cus
