Is the Federal interest degenerating ? no. But it is poflible that the piddling genius has some influence (he having plsyed Quaker 1 some time pad) over the elders of that so ciety that arc well disposed to government, and kept them at home on the day of elec tion, while he pu(hed forward their hickory I sons, mostly Robefpemns in politics. A tiother reason is afligned. Aliens were fuf fered to vote and the number on a scrutiny will be found considerable. Again the election was held open spur hours in tha night in violation of the elefti , on law, which expressly fixes tlfe hour for closing to fi»o'clock in t{ie evening. Yet a while and a day of retribution is at hand. Certainly the reprefentativives of Kent and Sussex will enquire how this adul terated, felf-created, French crew, came to * out-poll the Federalids. \ OLD '76. From the ( Mctjf.J Alfrcury. Meflrs. Vjung & Minns, The followingjs a genuine copy of a let ter, written by the celebrated Dr. Byles to the famous English poet, Pove. It was penned when the author was about ?2 years of age, was received with kir.dnefs and po litely answered by the person to whom it is addreiled—the anfwsr being accompanied with a copy of the various worts of that EiTayift,on Human Nature. It is a docu ment honorable to our country, and there T r fore I wish it preserved in the pages of the Mercury.—lt has nerer yet appeared in print. Yr's B. Ncw-EnxJondi Bojlon, i j ' ■ 7> * I\l • - TO MR. ALEXANDER POPE. b sir, _ b YOU are doubtless wondering at the no- 1 ft velty. of un epistle from the remote (hores tl vvliere this dates i«S origin ; as well as from v so obfeure a hand as that which fubferibes o it.—But what corner of the earth so secret, tl as not to have heard the fame of Mr. Pope ? a Or who so retired as riot to be acquainted v , with his admirable compositions, or so stupid as cot,to be ravished with them ? t i Fame, after a man is dead, has been by d ( some ingenious writers, compared to an ap- I plaufe in some distant region. If this be a t , jyft similitude, you may take the pleasure t of an admired name in America, and of a spreading a tralTfport over the face of a new , 1 world : By wljich you may, in some measure, a imagine the renown in which yoijr name will j 1 flourifh many ages to come, and anticipate a ; t thousand years of futurity. I ( To let you fee a little of the reputation ! < which you bear in these unknown climates, : < and the improvements we are making, under , ' your aufpiciouinfluences, in the polite <. ' studies of the mflfes, 1 tranfrait to you tliCv 1 inclosed poems : Alluring myfelf, tho' not ' of the approbation of your judgment, yet of 1 the excuse and lenity of that candor which ' is forever inseparable from a great genius. But notwithltanding all these repref«nta- ] tions of your goadnef», which my imagina- * tion is able to form, I find it very difficult 1 to fupprtfs the struggle of pafiions which 1 1 swells my heart, while lam writing a let- 1 ter to so great a man. lam at once urged 1 by a generous ambition to be known to you ; I 1 and forbid by a trembling consciousness of ] iinworthinefs and obfeurity. Prompted by j : desire, slushed with hope, or appalled with | concern, I add to the incorredlnefs which I would now most of all wish to short, fir, when I approach you, it is with a real awe and ravelence like that whieh you have so humourously described in the Guar dian upon dedications. How often have I been soothed and charm ed with the ever blooming landscapes of your Windsor Forest ? And how does my very foult melt away, at the fpft complaint of the languilhing Eloifa ? How frequently has the Rape of the Lock commanded the vari ous paffion3 of my mind : Provoked laugh ter ; breathed 3 tranquility ; or inspired a transport! And how often have I been raised, and borne away by the irrefiftlefs fire of the Iliad, as it glows in your immortal translation ! Permit, me, fir, to conclude my letter with asking the favor of a few lines from the band tfhich has blest the world with such divine produ&ions. If you thus honor me assure yourfclf the joys you will produce in me, will be inferior to none but the poetic rapture of your own breast. Perhaps you will be disposed to smile, when I confefs, that I have a more superstitious ardour to fee a word written by your pen, then ever Tom Folio in the Tatler to fee a simile of Virgil with that advantage. 1 am, fir, , your great admirer, and most obedient humble servant, MATHER BYLES. LANCASTER, October 28. On Wednesday last the Synod of Phila delphia met in this borough—Tlje follow ' ing address is published at the request of the reverend gentlemen : To the ministers and to the congregations ' under the pastoral care of the Synod of ' Philadelphia. ' Brtlhrtn, THE Synod considering the state of religion in our laud in general, and the cir cumstances of the church to which we be long in particular, and viewing, in connec ) tion with these, the afpeft of the political 5 affairs of our country, and the affliflive dis pensations of divine Providence toward a > considerable portion of its inhabitants, have 3 been deeply affe&ed. 3 It is a notorious and lamentable truth, 3 that infidelity abounds, and is by many 7 profefTed without disguise or shame : that J profanenefs in all its forms increases both in 1 malignity and degree ; that the providence 5 of God is dehied, aud his perfections difre s garded ; and that the precious inftitutione e of the gospel of Christ are openly reviled e by many, and fiegle&ed by a still more qon >f fiderable proportion of the people :—That s these impieties, as their certain and necef t fary consequence, have given rife to im is moralities of every description, highly in r jurious, not only to the life of m, but >- to the peace and happiness of focicty : In !, our own church in particular, we have to > lament with the deepest grief that vitil y piety is declining ; that in many places the l- external obfer.-ar.ee of gospel inilitutions, f- and even the inclination to possess and lup y port them, is relaxed; that the number of those who seek the gospel ministry is small, ir while the number of vacant congregations i- is great, and increasing without the prof >r pect of supply. While such is our moral and religious it state, we have just reason to expeft the jf frowns of that Providence which 1- over all. We accordingly fee that the tide to of tempora' prosperity, which we not long since enjoyed, and which we have most un gratefully abuied, i? ia some measure check ed and turned :—Our commerce is inter rupted, the fruits of the earth are diminish ed, our manufadures are beginning to lan guid), and even the peace of our country t- is put in jeopardy : Infedtious and deadly •.s diseases have visited even a large proportion as of our most populous and opulent cities and rs towns, and have fallen with peculiar violence o- on the metropolis of this state and of the is union, destroying many, and dispersing the id most of its inhabitants, aud producing not at only distress and grief among the poor and u- those who have loft their dearest friends, e T but a general and far felt calamity by the :ie interruption which it has given to almost in every kind of business and employment. in these eircumftances who can rcfufe to acknowledge that we are called to be hum ble and to mourn ?—to be deeply humble fr before our God, and to mourn with un- vt ' feigned penitence for those fins which are p: the moral cause of all the affiittiofcs which j bi we feel and fear ? To deny the obligations si of this duty, and our peculiar call to it on the *prefent occasion, would be but an ex- b ' ample and a proof of the depravity which I we lament. d I The Synod, therefore, have judged it o to be their duty to recommend, and they h ■ do earnestly recommend accordingly, that Thursday the 30th day of November nejft, / 1 be observed by nil the congregations under t : their care, as a day of humiliation, fading jtl f and prayer : That the people belonging to j t r , our congregations do, on that day, lay | , ' aside, as much as may be practicable, their c 1 ; worldly business and pursuits, and employ i t ! ' their time in seeking with union and with ' c ; earnestness, through the merits at?d inter- ' ti ) ■ eefiion of the adorable Redeemer, the mcr- t ( 'cy of God in the forgivenefs of our fins g r i both as individuals and as a nation ; that j ; the minitlers of the gofpt-1 do fpecfally di- ' p f, re& the attention of their flocks on that [ c t day to the duty of repentance and reforma- ' i f tion, and enforce it by the powerful motives ,<5 ' which are fnggefted by the gospel of our | f , Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by the j c . peculiar circumstances in which we areplac- ! . ed; that they labour to impress on the t t minds of the people the importance of feck- - c [i, ing the favour and blefiing of heaven, as < . the onlyjfource both of their temporal and f [J ' eternal welfare that in the devotional ex- [ 1 . | ercifes of the day, both in public and in ] f private, the most fervent supplications be i y j addrefTed to the Father, of mercies, that the i h -Holy Spirit may be poured oat for the re- J vival of pure and undefiled religion in all n the earth, and that a time of refrefhing may fj come to this land in particular from the pre- - n ftnee of the Lord ; that it would please 1 the Great Head of the cjiurch to raise up, < qualify and fend forth into the gospel mi- ' 1. niftry, many who (hall be-his able, faithful t r and fuccefsful ambassadors; that he would 1 y make all our citizens sensible that righte- I ,f oufnefs exalteth a nation, and that fin is a ' is reproach to any . people ; that he would ' j. ble{# all that are in authority over us, give ' i_ them the spirit of their station, make them < a a terror to evil doers, and a praise to them n that do well: that he would preserve the • e peace, the honour, and the prosperity of j] the United States ; that he would prosper our agriculture, arts and commerce ; that . r he would preserve the health of the iuhabi ,e tants of our land and fare them from pefti h lential and deadly contagion ; that he would le graciously the strokes of his holy n hand to tholr who have lately and peculi ;c arly fuffered under it; that he would com u fort those that mourn, provide for the poor s> and neceflitous, and be the portion of the :o widow and orphan ; in a word, that he ;r would confer his choicest bleflings on us by jf turning us from our fins, disposing us to righteousness, piety and benevolence, and making us a holy and a happy people. And we do also recommend, that while we are thus humbling ourfdves in the divine presence, and imploring the compassion and blessing of heaven, a special attention be likewise given to the duty of thanksgiving for the many favours which are still conti a- nued to us, and for the special instances of ir. kindness and deliverance which, any parti af cuhr place or people may have experience from the merciful hand of God ; and this is the rather as our exceeding ill-desert ren af ders the reception and continuance of these favours an instance of more peculiar gra<;e, and enhances our obligations to of and praise. r- Trusting, brethren, that you will give a e- cheerful attention to the important duty c- which we have now recommended, the Sy al nod conclude with most devoutly praying, If. that the Author of every good anffperfett a gift may co,nfer his rieheft blessing, on you, i-e and with commending you to his holy keep ing and care, h, Signed, order of the Svnod, iy JOHN KING, Moderator, at —.■ ■ ■ ■ ■ in EAST INDIA NEWS. ce e- CALCUTTA, March 13. ns On Tuesday afternoon arrived and anch id ored off Calcutta, his majesty's ship Hero n- ine, capt.

By letters from Madras, we learn that Admiral Rainier had ordered the Arrogant to join him at that port. The accounts fur ther state, that the admiral had sent for the two navy transports, Echo and Latona. By letters from Lucknow, of the 4th ' curt, we are informed that the ceremony of i the exchange of the hat and turban had been I observed between the right hon. the gover i nor general and his highness the vizier, in testimony of the moil (incere friendlhip and good will between the parties. !

BOMBAY, February jj. On the morning of Monday la£l, the Shah Ardafeer, captain Dawfon, anchored in (he harbour from China, after touching at Ma dras, and upon the Malabar coafl. This (hip is the lall of our China fleet ; and if the precarious chara&er of the Canton mar ket would allow us to fpeewjate upon the tenor of her accounts, we should argue fa vorably of the ensuing season, for fmce our . last advices the price of cotton had risen ; but it is a quetlion of mnch doubt whether cireumftances will concur to uphold the 1 price. The Ardefeer left Canton on the 3d of F December, at which time the retail jyi of - cotton was so high as 16 tales the ptfcul. Such however is the ignorance we are tfon . (trained to profefs with regard to every thing . that relates to China history, that in treat- I ing of the cause of this unexpefted improve r ment of the market, we mult express our . selves with the utmost diffidence. It said, that an mfurre<Etion of a fenous r nature has lately been fomented in several e of the provinces of China, particularly in : that of Howquang, which was principalif y devoted to the produce of cotton, hence the 3 cultivation of this article had been netrled i ed. ' The cause of these diftutbances is afcribeti e to the emperor Kien Long having abdicated e his throne in February lift,'when at the age 3 of 87 years, in favor of KaHing, his ijtfi e son : instead however of retiring like Charles t Vth into folittuk, and renouncing altogether . the cares of government, the aged emperor - ,f had (till manifefted an inclination to have a voice in the affairs of the state ; in this he e was fefonded by Co Lau, a Mandarin, who ; s had long prcfided in adminiilration, but who i_ at firft had (hared the resolution of his master " e to retire from the fatigues of public life'; ;j jealousies had thu3 ai ifen .between the old c and new miniftcrs, 'which had very generally difleminated tbemfelves through the provirt a ces, the mandarins of the firft rank, siding v as interest or attachment led them, with the .. leading parties at court, r, Messrs.

Just before the failing of the Ardafeer, Accounts had been received of the arrival of an Indiaman at Macoa from Great Britain ; the firft direct (hip of the feafon—tht On- J tario, captain Olmfted, an American (hip, ; s from Mew-York, had also arrived.
