To the BISHOPS, CLERGY, and LAITY of the PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH in the States of New-York, New- Jersey, Penxh lvania,Delaware, Maryland, Vi r cin i a and S. Carol in a, in general Convention aflemblcd. GENTLEMEN, I SINCERELY thank you for your affeiionate congratulations, on my eleflion to the chief Manflracy of the United States. After having received from m\ fellow-citizens in general the mojl li teral treatment —djter having Joum* them dij'pofed to contemplaie, in the y nofl flattering point of view, the performance ofmy rnilitarx services: and the manner of my retirement at the close of the war, Ifeel, that I have a right to cbnjole myfitf, in m\prefent arduous undertakings, with a hope that they willJlill be inclined to put the irojl favorable conjliuflions on the motives which may influence me in my Jut ure public tranfaflions. The fatisfdflion arijing Jrorn the indulgent opinion entertained by the American people of my condu fl, will, I trujl, be some security for pre venting me from doing any which might juflly incur the forfeiture of that opinion. And'the conpderotion that human hapt>inef and moral duty are inseparably connefled, will always continue to prompt me to pro mote the prcgrefsof the former, by inculcating the praflice of the latt r. On this occasion it will ill become me to conceal the joy I have Jelt in perceiving the Jraternal ajfeflion which appears to encreafe every day among the friends of genuine religion. It affords edifying profpefls in deed. to fee chrijliais oj different denominations dwell together in more charity, andcondufl themjelves in refpefl to each other with a more chris tian like spirit, than ever they have done in any former age, or in any other nation. I receive with the greater fati faff ion your congratulations on the eflablifhment of the new Conflitution of Government, because, I believe, its mild, yet efficient operations, will tend to remove every remaining appre hension of those with whose opinions it may not entirely coincide, as well as to confirm the hopes of its numerous friends : And because the mode ration, patriotism and wisdom of the present federal legiflature,feem to promise the rcjloration of ord j r and our ancient virtues ; the extenfionof genuine Religion, and the consequent advancement of our refpeflability abroad, and of our Jubflantial happiness at home. I rcejuejl, Mojl Rrverend and rejpeaed Gentlemen, that you willaccept my cordial than/is for xour devoutJupplicztions to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe in behalf of me. May you,,and the people zuhom you represent be the happy fubjefls of the Divine benedictions both here and hereafter! GEORGE WASHINGTON. Augufl, 19, 1789. How great foevcr a bull, the Pope may have made, in giving some of the Monar hs of Europe the title of Mod Catholic Ma jesty—His Faithful Maiefty : a correspondent thinks that the Peo ple of America would do no more than jufticc to style the Chief Ruler of our Empire, " His patriotic Majclty." It would be ori ginal, and have a meaning. Extra ft of a litter from a gentleman in King ft on (Ja maica) to his friend in New-York. " By a letter I received from Mr. H. of the 2d of May, he informed me the new government had commenced, and the great Washington inaugurated PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, &c. May God bless his REGENCY, and make your dear county happy forever, is my sincere wish. I should be happy could Ibe one of the inhabitants of that landof Freedom." An independent people should do every thing in their power to procure, within themselves, the raw materials neceflary for their own manu factures, and encourage those manufactures in preference to all others. Tlia business of hat making has been carried 011 to great extent in this country, and hatters complain of the scarci ty of wool for the purpose of making coarse hats. This is the season of the year for Shearing lambs., which not only produces an immediate profit to the owner, but experience has evinced it benefi cial to the next years fleece, by making it finer and thicker set. It is hoped that farmers, as friends to their country, will attend to this hint. On TucfJay the nth infant. departed this life, in the 33 d \eur of his age, Major John Lucas, and on Wedncfday, his remains were inter ed in St. Paul's cnurch -yard, with military honors, attended by a nume rous concourse oj refpectablejriends and citizens together with the honor able Society of the Cincinnati, oj which he was a member.

Familiar with dangers, death to him was not a king of terrors ; ful ly sensible of his approaching dijjolution, he Jit his tioufe it: order, and resigned his breath to the Gtd of nature, infull expectation of a glorious and blessed immortality. LONDON, MAY JO. A rumour is in circulation in the higher circles, that his majelty has resolved to adopt a measure which willjuftly entitle him to the appellation of father of his country. Having found that the million surplus, said by Mr. Pitt to exist, was too precarious a fund to af ford the nation any considerable relief from the weight of its public debt; his majelty, it is ru moured, has resolved to make his people heirs to eleven millions llerling, which he means to ef tablilh as a fund to be applied solely to the dis charge of the national debt. To make this measure complete, by rendering the fund iftalienablean adtof parliament is to be palled for veiling this immense sum in trustees, who are to have the sole management of it, fub je<sl only to the inquisitorial power of parliament, to fee that it is properly applied. But the aifl is at the fame to provide, that, Ihould parliament at tempt to divert a single guinea of this fund from the purpose for which it is to beellabliihed, the whole of it is to become ipfo facto the private property of the trustees. When he hoards only that lie may be able to relieve his people, his economy becomes a mine of wealth to his people. It is said, that the firft idea of establishing such a fund, was firft suggested to his majelty by a passage which he read in the life of Pope Sixtrus Vth, who deposited in the castle of St. Angelo four millions of Roman crowns, pronouncing, at the fame time that person accursed who ftiould ever make use of the whole or any part of that sum, except in the greatest emergency of the Ho ly See. The style of the Nabob's living is somewhat cu rious—He resides in a high tower, amidst all his women, who are in separate apartments below him : he can fee them, and all of them can fee him, but not each other. Whenever any of them strikes his particular fancy of the day, he fends down his handkerchief. On defences, as they are called, of Mr. Hast ings, but as given in evidence, were written by different gentlemen,Mr.Slieridan said very neatly " These, like raw materials, the mafterworkman " distributes about him to all hands awaiting ; His " words are to be strung—arguments spun—pas " sages woven :—He puts his conscience into de " partments—Major Scot,fays he,take care of my " conliftency—Mr. Middleton, you have my mc " vioty in commission ! —Prove me a financier, Mr. " Shore.—Answer forme, Mr. Holt: (alljour " neymen, good enough for the house of com " inons, tliouh not for your lordlhips)—Help, " one and all, to bear me up under the prefliire " of my laurels, the burthen of my glory !—Re " frefh, and save me from the calentures ofmy " state, from the peril of my own panegyric." june 2. The defeat which the Turks have fuffered from the Ruffians is, we find by a letter from Warsaw, still more considerable than what appeared in the Vienna Gazette. The principal circumstances of the acftion are the following : " General Dorfeldt marched, on the 27th of A pril, to Maximiniani, where he found a considera ble body of the enemy, amounting to 8000 men, on this fide the river Soreth. He attacked and defeated them, leaving 400 dead on the field, and taking 107 prisoners, among whom was Jacob Pacha,who is now at Jafly. Mr. Dorfeldt remain ed four days at Maximiniani. On thei4th of May, he advanced to Galacz, which town he found for tified with redoubts and entrenchments ; life how ever immediately attacked it, and after a resist ance of three or four hours, carried the batte ries, which made a part of the works ; upon this the Turks, consisting of more than a thousand. men.surrendered tliemfelves prisoners with their Ibrahim Pacha; but before the surrender 1500 were killed in the place. The loss of the Ruf fians was only about 60 killed, 100 wounded. General worfeldthad his horse killed under him, and he himfelf fliglitly wounded in the fliould er."
