NEW-YOR K, June 19.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Antigua, to
his friend in this city, dated theifiioflant.
“ The British iilands that were taken by the French
during the course of the warfare not yet redored,
nor is it knovvh when the'y will; the French it is said,
are to retain them until the year's crop is Dipped off,
nor will they now admit of any British vessels to load
amongst them."
June 2t. Last night arrived at Sandy-Hook, the (hip
Castle Douglas captain William Stewart, which left
the Downs on the 18th of May, by whom we have re
ceived the following particulars ---That on the 7th
of May, a committee of some members of the privy
council fat, of which the noble earl of Carfffle was
president, that their deliberations refpefled the Bate
of the American layalifls, and something was serious
ly agitating to compensate those fu:ferers for their
losses fuflained on behalf ofthe crown.
When the above (hip failed, the difinitive treaty
was not signed.
In the Callie Douglas there are arrived twenty pas
sengers, and amongst them Mr. and Mrs Searle, of
Madeira, Mr. and Miss Appleby, Mr. Benjamin
Winthrop, Mr. Winthrop, Mr. William and Mr. Jonn
Rowlett, Mrs. Browns, Mr. Williams, and doftor
Pomery, of Longlfland.
Some accounts of the manner in which his royal high
ness prince William Henry was received on a visit
which he lately made to the Havanna.
On the Sth of May, bis royal highness arrived off
the Moro CafH% in a frigate, commanded by captain
Rodney, fori of thegallant lord Rodney, being escorted
by lord Hood's squadron, of twelve (hips of the line
and two frigates, who lay off the Cable during the
princes flay.
Immediately on his arrival, admiral don Solano,
and the governor, general Unzaga, came along fide
the fllip in a most magnificient flare barge to receive
the prince, under a general salute of cannon from a
bout twenty fail of men of war in the harbour, and the
refpedive fortreffes of the Moro, Cavannes, Punta, &c.
The barge-men were dressed in the most splendid uni
forms, covered with goldlacee, and the canopy of the
barge, with the other furniture, were computed to
have cost upwards of two thousand dollars. Upon his
royal biguefs's landing a general salute was fired from
the town; he was then conducted by the admiral and
governor through a line of troops to the governor's
palace in the square of arms, and afterwards totthe
house of admiral Solano, which was most elegantly
fitted up for his reception. A colonel's guard, in new
doaths, was mounted every day at the prince's quar
ters, His highness was at a general review of the
whole Spanish army in the Havanna. The several
orders of religion, both male and female, were present
ed to his highness, to congratulate him on his arrival,
as were also all the general and field officers, the cap
tainsand officers of the navy, &c. His highness (laid
three days on shore, during which time themoft sump
tuous entertainments were provided by the admirai
and governor, at the former of which were no less than
three hundred covers, when the following toasts were
drank to the found of trumpets, &c. under a difeharge
of cannon: The king' of Great Britain—by admiral
Solano, twenty-one guns. The king of Spain—by
prince William Henry, twenty-one guns Prince
William Henry—by admiral Solano, twenty-one guns.
The king of France—by prince Wiliam Henry, Twen
ty-one guns. The peace a general toast, twenty
one guns, three time.
After the entertainment, the prince went in a most
splendid carriage to the Circus, without the Punta and
land gates, and took the air, attended by at lead 4000
carriages, with the principal officers, civil, ecclesiasti
cal, and military, and ladies in the richest dresses.—
In the evenings were fired feu de joys, and the city
richly illuminated. While his highness was on shore,
the royal flandards of Great-Britain and Spain were
hoisted, the (hips in the harbour were dress d, and
the yards manned whenever he passed in the barge
with three cheers; in short, the magnificience with
which his highness was treated during his flay, furpafcd
description, and could only be equalled by the affabi
lity displayed on this occasion by that illustrious per
sonage. It is imagined these entertainments mudhave
cost above one hundred thousand dollars.
His royal highness was (hewn all the several forts
and fortifications, and on entering each work, was sa
luted by a general difeharge of their cannon.
June 23. By letters from London we learn, that the
French appear to be very tardy in laying up their men
of war as usual after peace.
Three small vessels ar ived here last Saturday noon,
in ten days from New-Providence.

-71/1 Y husband's my uncle, my son is my brother,

That belongs to my brotner; I'm grandma to Jour;

My brother's my son, and his name it is John.
This paradox strange, it may appear unto you;
The people ol Spank-Town will aver it is true.

A correfpondeat, speaking of the adjournment of
Congress from Philadelphia to Princeton, fays, that as
the union is the great dignity of America, and with
out which we have no sovereign character abroad, but
diminish into petty individual states, exposed to every
foreign insult and fubjeft to internal ditfentions; we
cannot pay too much attention to its support ; it is our
Magna Charta ; our great and sacred Charter; it has
been our salvation, and is the only foundationon which
our salvation can hand.
But it is possible that its facredaefs may, in some
cases, feel rather too quickly, and the adjournment of
Congress from Philadelphia, may be interpreted into
one of those nice and delicate sensations which is best
understood by contemplating what the sacredness of
the union is, or ought to be.
A number of soldiers, about three hundred of the
Pennsylvania line, with their arms, and without their
officers, assembled at the date house where Congress
and the executive council fits; but it was on a day (Sa
turday) which Congress do not fit, and they were ad
journed from the evening before until Monday. The
intended application of the men was to the executive
council, and not to Congress; and perhaps their com
ing with their arms is to be attributed to their having
never gone without them, or that they wore them on
ly as ensigns of their services, and not with any hoflile
intention^towards any body, much less towards Con
gress, who had proceeded even to a degree of anxiety
in recommending and earnestly pressing on the several
states the adoption of measures for the reward of the
army.
Congress conceived the dignity of the union some-
What touched upon by the appearance of an armed
body not under command, and as measures were not
so immediately entered on by the date for preventing
it, as Congress conceived the dignity (not the danger)
of the case required, they adjourned their next meet
ing to Princeton.
Our correspondent concludes with remarking, that
if the king of England was to withdraw every time he
conceived himfelf affronted, he would long before now
have been in Hanover, but he is used to them; and it is
very remarkable, that our American tumults (if they
may be called tumults) are the most orderly, quiet,
harmless and peaceable of any in the world: We are
now as flill again as ever-
A HINT to the Mechanics and Manufacturers of the
City and Liberties of Philadelphia,
TO encourage ufeful manufactures is molt undoubt
edly an effent al part of the duty of a wile legis
lature. —All free states and well regulated governments
have ever considered it an object worthy their firirieft
attention. During our contest with Great-Britain,
some encouragement has been given to manufacturers
in America, which has occasioned a rapid increase of
them since the commencement of the war. Through
their mduftry and attachment to their country, the
continent and the army have been supplied with arti
cles they could not get from abroad. In fact, they
have enabled the farmer to feed the soldier, and the
soldier to meet the enemy in the field. —And (hall those
industrious citizens, who have so capitally contribut
ed to the independence of their country, now be for
gotten, and with their families become objeds of the
greeted dirtrefs, for want of employment in their re
fpedive branches? This must undoubtedly be the
case, if the following articles are imported from abroad.
Bar iron, flit and rolled ditto, Reel, nails, saws,
anchors, and ship work, wire, wool-cards, axes, spades,
(hovels, feythes and sickles, gold and silver smiths work,
brass, copper and tin ware, iron callings arms, glass
and fnuff, beaver and felt hats, tanned leather, (hoes,
and boots, fadlery, writing paper, cordage, candles,
soap, &c. &c. &c.
I would therefore, my countrymen, beg leave to re
commend that you prefer a spirited, but decent remon
ttrance to your representatives, at their next session,
for a redress of grievances, who will no doubt feel for
your distresses and exert their utmost abilities to do you
and their country justice.
