NEW CONSTITUTION GOVERNMENT OF POLAND, kc. &c In the name of God, one in the h'.'j T. init) St AnislausAdG oSTtrs, bv the grace of God, ana the will of the Nation, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania, Russia, Pruflia, Mufcovia, Saniogitia, &c. &c. &c. together with the Con federated States aflembled in double number to represent the Polish nation. PERSUADED that our common fate depends entirely upon eftablilhing and rendering per fect a national conititution , convinced by a long train of experience of many defecfts in our Go vernment, and willing to profit by the present circumltances of Europe, and by tne favorable moment which has restored us to ourselves ; tree from the difgracefnl ihack'.es of foreign influ ence ; prizing more than life, and every personal confideraiion, the political exiltence, external in dependence, and internal liberty of the nation, whose care is eiitrulted to us; desirous, more over, todefervethe blessing and gratitude, not only' of our cotemporaiies, but also of future generations ; for the fake of the public good, for i'ecuring our liberty, and maintaining our king dom and our pofleffions ; in order to exert our natural rights with zeal and firmnefs, we do so lemnly ejlahijh the present Constitution, which we declare wholly inviolable in every part, till such period as lhall be prescribed by law; when the nation, if it should think fit, and deem it necefla ry, may alter, by its express will, fiich articles therein as shall be found inadequate. And this present Constitution fliall be the (landard of all laws and itatutes for the future Diets. ARTICLE I. Th: dominant National Religion. The Holy Roman Catholic Faith, with all its privileges and immunities, {hall be the dominant national religion. The changing of it for any other persuasion is forbidden under the penalties of apoftacy ; but as the fame holy religion com mands us to love our neighbours, we therefore owe to all people, of whatever persuasion, peace in matters of faith, and the protection of govern ment; consequently we a(Ture,to all persuasions and religions, freedom and liberty according to the laws of the country, and in all dominions of the republic. ARTICLE 11. Nobility, or the Eqmftrian 0-dcr. Revering the memory of our ancestors with gratitude, as the firft founders of our liberties, it is but just to acknowledge, in a molt solemn man ner, that all the pre-eminence and prerogatives of liberty, both in public and private life,fhould be insured to this order ; especially laws, (latutes, and privileges, granted to this order by Cafi-.nir the Great, Lewis of Hungary, Ladiflaus Jagellon and his brother Wittoldus, Grand Duke of Li thuania ; alio by Ladiflaus and Cafimirus, both Jagellons; by John Albertus, Alexander, Sigif mundus the First, and Sigifmundus Augustus (the J alt of the Jagellonic race) are by the pi elent act renewed, confirmed, and declared to be inviola ble. We acknowledge the rank of the noble Equestrian order in Poland, to be equal to all de grees of Nobility—all persons of that order to be equal among themselves, not only in the eli gibility to all ports of honor, trull, or emolu ment, but in the enjoyment of all privileges and prerogatives appertaining to the said order : and in particular, we preserve and guarantee to eve ry individual ihereof personal liberty and Secu rity of territorial and moveable property as they were formerly enjoyed ; nor Hi all we even fuffer the lead encroachment on either by the supreme national power (on which the present form of go vernment is established) under any pretext what soever, contrary to private rights, either in part, or in the whole ; consequently we regard the preservation of perfonai iecqritv and property, as by law ascertained, to be a tie of society, and the very efl'ence of civil liberty, which ought to be considered and respected for ever. It is in this order that we repose the defence of our li berties and the present Constitution : It is to their virtue, valour, honor, and patriotism, we recom mend its dignity to venerate, and its (lability to defend, as the only bulwark of our liberty and existence. ARTICLE 111 Towns and Citizens, The law made by the present Diet, entitled, Cur royal free towns -within the dominions of the Re public, we mean to consider as a part of the pre sent constitution, and promise to maintain it as a new, additional, true, and effectual support, of our common liberties, and our mutual defence. ARTICLE IV Peasants and Villagers. This agricultural class of people, the most nu merous in the nation, consequently forming the most considerable part of its force, from whole OF THE 156 hands flows the source of our riches, we receive under the protection of national law and Govern ment, from the motives of justice humanity, chrittianitv.and our own interest well understood, enacting, 'that whatever liberties, grants, and conventions, .bet ween the proprietors and villa gers, either individually or collectively may be allowed in future, and entered authentically into , /uch agreements, according to their true mean ing fhtll import mutual and reciprocal obliga tions, binding not only the. present contracting parties, but even their fucceflors by inheritance or acquisition—so far, that it (hall not be in the power of either party to alter at pleasure such contracts importing grants on one iide, and vo luntary promise of duties, labour, or payments, rfn the other, according to the manner and con ditions therein exprefied, whether they are to lalt perpetually, or for a fixed period. Thus having insured to the proprietors every advantage they have a ri«rbt to from their villagers, and willing to encourage most effectually the population oi our country, we fvblijh and proclaim a perjtfl ana entire liberty to all people, either who may be new ly coming to fettle, or those who, having emi grared, would return to their native country ; and we declare most solemnly, that any person coming into Poland from whatever part of the world,"or returning from abroad, as soon as he sets his foot on the territory of the Republic, be comes free and at liberty toexercife his indnftry, wherever, and in whatever manner he pleases to fettle either in towns or villages, to farm and rent lands and houses, on tenures and contracts, for as long a term as may be agreed 011 ; with li berty to remain, or to remove, after having ful filled the obligations he may have voluntarily en tered into. 0 be continued.)

Stewart &Nzsbitt, No. 15. South Water-Street. Phi. delphia, Sept. 7, 1791 New-Haven Wharf Lottery. THE Lcgifljture of the State ol Conoe&icut, at their session in December last, granted a Lottery for the purpofc of extend in" Union Wharf, in the harbour of New-Haven, to the channtl; and appointed the subscribers managers, who having given bond for the faithful discharge of their trust, present the public with tr.e following / s c J Prize of. 1 1 1 2 4 5 12 3° 45 5 3 61 100 140 539° 5842 Prizes. 11658 Blanks. 17500 Tickets, »t Five-Dollars each, is Not two Blanks to a Prize Subjefito a deduction of twelve and a half per cent. The public utility of extending this wharf, is too evident 10 re quire any comment, to tho.fe who are acquain'ed with the town od harbour of New-Haven; tothofe who are uot, fuffice it to fay, hat its beautiful situation is not furpaffcd, if equalled by any ; bc ng in the heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be said to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the lound hut by realon of the flats, this wharf is neceffar.ly extended 10 the channel, where (hips can load and unload ; and when compleat ed, will be the most extensive and commodious wharf in America, the whole extent being about 3-4ths of a mile; and not only the mercantile interest of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the maritime interest of all the States will be benefited by it. The general wish that prevails in the minds of all claflcs of people, for the success of this enterprise, together with the very great advan tage which this scheme holds out to adventurers (there being more capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet publitlied in Ameriea)inducethe managers to believe the tickets will meet with a speedy sale. The drawing will pfctively commence at the State-House, in New-Haven, on the »«jtli of September next, or sooner, if the tickets are fold. A lift of the fortunate numbers will be published, and the prizes paid on demand, by the managers. Those prizes notcalled for in nine months after drawing, will be deemed as generously given for the use ot the wharf, and appropriated accordingly.
