AS a fpoitive young Fowler was ranging a grove,
On a high bufliy bough he efpicd little Love ;
Who wantonly waving his wings, while at play,
Appeat 'd to our iportsman, Come fine-featber'd Jay ;
hxulting with joy, he his birdlime prepares,
And hopes to allure little Love to his snares;
But Lowe, wily Love, well acquainted with all
That can either the mind or the body enthraM,
Continued his pdllime, nor heeded the boy,
4'ully conlcious he could not his pleafurcs destroy.
The tripling at length difappeiutcd and vexr,
At the strange bird's behavior, moil likely pcrplcxt.
Toa neighboring husbandman eagerly flew,
And pointed where Cupid Tat perch'd, still in view ;
As the old Ploughman smiled. he ihook. his grey hairs,
'• Fly ! fly my f\j;eet son from yon little beast's fuares,
" Oh ! how happy for you, it ever as now,
" He leaves you unnotie'd, and hops on the bough :
" But wheu manhood has ripen'd, and fill'd you with blood,
" He will creep to the fountain, and poifoo the flood.
NEW-YORK, OCTOBER 2.
Capt. Barnes, who arrived at Boston in 36 days
from Ferrol, informs that a letter received by
the Britifti Consul there, from the Briti(h Am
baflador at Madrid, intimated that lie was doubt
ful whether the concession made by Spain would
produce a reconciliation between the two Courts.
Capt. Barnes further informs, that when he lefc
I'errol great preparations for war were making
at that place—and that every thing wore the
appearance of an immediate rupture.
The Englifii appear to be much diffatisfifcd
with the late comprotnife made by Mr. Pitt with
Spain—but he has heretofore come oft vi<flori
ous, and in the present instance will doubtless
juftify his own condudt ; if he cannot man the
fleet what is_to be done ? Perhaps John Bull
thinks their empty ships can beat the Dons.
Wednesday lart the Britilh Packet Portland ar
rived here in jo days from Falmouth and Hali
fax—She brought papers to 6th August. The
Levant,jCapt.Oillis,is arrived at Philadelphia,and
brought accounts to 12th.
In consequence of the defeat of the King of
Sweden on the 3d and 4th July—it is surmised by
the Englifli politicians, that the King of Pruflia
will attack Catharine—in order to prevent an
undue preponderance of the balance of power in
her favor.
This balance of power,a most flimfey pretence
for going to war, has too long proved a curse to
the European Itates.—Louis the XlVth, under
the pretext of supporting this ideal equilibrium,
destroyed the liberties of France—and the En
gliih, deluded by the fame phantom, have facri
fieed thousands of their Veterans in Germany.—
The enlightened policy of the National Afiem
bly of France has led them to reject the illusion
—fully convinced that the true interest of their
country confilts in tranquilizing their citizens,
and reitoring the equilibrium of reason and com
mon sense.
A motion was made by the President, and ac
quiesced in by the National Allembly of France,
previous to the late grand confederation, that
during the ten days appointed for the ad million'
of the military deputies to be present at the de
bates, all other perions, even thofechofen as fub
ftitutcs for the Na-.ional Representatives them
selves, should give place to the new vilitants ; and
that in this particular there Ihould be no excepti
m but in favor of the Editors of news papers.
There cannot be a Itronger proof of the libe
rality of this August Senate, and of their sincere
wilh to give their proceedings as great a notori
ety as possible.
In the late proccffion of France, every order
was diltinguifhed by some emblematic device,
indicative of the diftridt from whence it came, or
the body which it represented—and in doing
this, fancy had exerted its powers in ornament
and design, in such manner as to lurin a moll no
ble appearance.
The amphitheatre in the Champ de Mars was
an immense inclofure : It contained thirty bench
es riling one above another, fufficiently capacious
to accommodate 300,000 persons. The Duke of
Orleans was present, and as M. D'Orleans took
his feat among the Members of the National As
sembly ; he has retrieved his popularity, by an
appeal to the people, in which he requests, that
if he has committed any crime, he may be tried,
not by Judges, but by a Jury.
According to the iingliih papers the people of
France have changed the title of Louis XVI.
from King to that of Emperor.' !
Addrefles from the foreigners in Pans were
pefented to the National Aflembly immediately
after the memorable 14th July—and were order
ed to be printed.
Docftor Franklin's definition of a whig.—One
that claims no right to himfelf, that he is not willing

over this sentiment.
A writer in a late London paper obferTes, that
nothing will contribute more to the riling great
ness ps America than that unbounded toleration
and prote&ion she holds forth to all feels and de
scriptions of men.—The Roman Catholics, Pro
testants, Quakers, and innumerablefubaltern de
nominations live there in one common bond of
amity—none of which are precludetl from oflices,
either of honor or profit.—The liberality of sen
timent by which the celebrated General Wash
ington 'has at all times been actuated, was ne
ver more apparent than on a recent occasion,
when an address was prefenced to him by the Ro
man Catholics of America.—He allured them in
the character of PrejiAent of the United States,
of the utmolt protection of government, and the
fame liberty enjoyed by other citizens.
It is the report, by accounts from India, that
Tippoo Saib was kitted in his late attack onTra

BOSTON, Sept. 22
We hear from Sanford, in the county of York,
that on Wednesday the Bthinftant, as two young
children, sons of Dr. Abel Hall, were playing
near a well, the youngelt of them about three
years of age,leaning against the curb of the well,
the upper board of which was nailed on the in
side, it gave way, and the child pitched in and
fell twenty three feet, when his head ltruck the
water into which he plunged, and immediately
rising received instantaneous alfiftance ; Capt.
Ebenezer Halj, descending into the well, by
the pole, seized the child, before it could fink
again, and taking it into his arms was drawn up
and restored him to his diftrelled mother; the
child having not received the lealt bruise or
wouud. The well was less than two feet in di
ameter and stoned to the bottom.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,")
New-York, Sept. 28, 1790. J
THE following regulations, which have been adopted towards

voucher to the Secretary of the Treasury ; upon the production
and delivery ot which to,him, a warrant will issue to the office,
to which thf debt is to be transferred, where the bufincfs will be
completed. The form (A) at foot hereof, has been adopted for

for completing it, it is expetted will be carefully observed.
In every cafe of a transfer of the fubferibed or funded debt, the
new certificate will bear interest, only from the firft day of the
quarter, in which the transfer is made. The unpaid interest which
may have accrued prior to that quarter, will be paid only to the

Fourteen days before the expiration of each quarter, the books
of each officc will beclofed ; so that no transfers will be made,
nor, except at the Treasury, will any fubferiptions be received,
or old certificates exchanged for new ones, on the application of
non-fubferibers, during that period. Thole intending to become
