Directors.—Nicholas Low, Daniel M'Cormick,
Samuel Franklin, Thomas Randall, Robert Bowne,
William Maxwell, Thomas B. Stoughton, Alexander
Hamilton, Isaac Roosevelt, Comfort Sands, Jolhua
Waddington, John Vanderbilt. Mr. Wadsworth, of
Hartford, is a merchant of the most distinguished rank
in the state of Connecticut; he is daily expected in
this city, where, it is presumed, he will take up his
residence.
1 he Lords of the Britifli Admiralty have made a
{landing order of the Board, that for the future all
persons who shall become purchasers of any ship or
ihips fold out of the British service under the direction
of the Admiralty Board, shall give a fufficient bond
to the following purport:
“ I A. B. having purchased of the Lords Commis
sioners for executing the office of Lord High Admi
ral, at publick sale, at his Majesty's dock-yard at
Woolwich, the ship •, pierced for guns,
do declare, that I will within months cause the
fail fliips to be fully and completely broken up for
tinker; and that 1 will not on any account whatever
again dispose of the said fliip • , pierced for
— guns, in her present state and condition, or re
pair, or cause such ship to be repaired, under penalty
of forfeiting the sum of two thousand pounds of law
ful money of Great-Britain." It is thought this has
been occasioned by the private sale of some vessels to
an Armenian merchant, employed by the Algerines.
May 12. We are happy in announcing the arrival
of the ship Empress of China, Captain John Green.
Captain Green failed from this port the 24th of Fe
bruary, 1784 —arrived at Wampo, in China, the
28th of August following—failed from thence the
30th December last—and after a happy and pleasant
passage, arrived fafe here yesterday.
Captain Green experienced every degree of polite
ness and refped, where-ever he had the honour of
Yesterday happily arrived the long miffing ship Fire
brand, from Amsterdam, whence she failed last fall,
put in distress into Falmouth, was there refitted, de
parted from thence with the Britifli Packet, and after
some stay at Guadaloupe, has got fafe into our harbour.
By a gentleman lately from New-London we are
informed, that several British Agents (rejected from
Boston) have taken stores, and ordered the vessels
with their goods round to that city.
From the latest English news-papers we have the
best evidence of the alarm which has seized the vari
ous manufacturing bodies throughout England. The
treatment which the Delegates have received from
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has had its influ
ence upon the minds of men, and meetings are adver
tised for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against
the Irish resolutions ; so that the intended arrangement
of trade with Ireland, is likely to prove equally fatal
in its consequences to Mr. Pitt, with the East-India
Bill to Mr. Fox.
May 11. On Monday last came on the annual elec
tion of Governor and Directors of the Bank of New-
York, when tire following gentlemen were chosen:
May 7. Yesterday arrived the ship Duke of Buc
cleugh, Captain Ritchie, in thirty-eight days from
London, by whom we learn, that the English Mini
stry, on the 23d of March, received advice by express
frc , Paris, of the Emperor's troops having begun
their march against the Dutch territories. Maeftricht
and the adjacent countries, it is supposed, will be the
firft feenes of hostilities. Thus, war seems to be
commenced without a doubt.
I he spirit for Ballooning still continues to prevail
so eminently in England, as to have induced Admiral
Sir Edward Vernon, to subscribe jool. towards the
expences of conftruding one (which was launched
with tolerable success on the 23d of March, at Tot
tenham Court) on condition of his accompanying
Comte Zambeccari, the projector; which he really did
in an serial flight, that terminated without any unfa
vourable incident.
Petitions from all the manufacturing towns of
Great-Britain, are before Parliament, against the
Irish Commercial System ; and the Bill for a Reform
in Parliamentary Representation, it is expected will
not succeed; these two objects embarrass the present,
and afford great advantages to the members of the old
Administration.

and impunity, while truth alone was to be punished;
and not by a trial by jury, but by attachment, on
which judges were to decide without jury, without
writ of error, without appeal. Thus the rights of
the people are, in every instance, violated; the press
is no longer free, but calumny licensed ; the people
are no longer judges of criminality, and men are even
bound to accuse themselves.
May 4. A gentleman that came in the Harmony from
London, was informed the day he failed, that a house
in London had received a letter from Gibraltar, of
the 14th of February, to the following purpose : " Our
letters from Barbary mention, that the American vessel
lately taken, together with all her crew, are ordered
to be released; and that the Dey had issued ftrift or
ders, forbidding his cruizers to capture or molest any
vessels belonging to the United States of America."
May 11. On Tuesday, May the 3d, between the
hours of two and three in the afternoon, as the brig
Charleston-Packet was coming up the bay of Delaware,
near the Brandywine shoal, her pilot difeovered what
had the appearance of a man upon a wreck, and the
brig being directed towards it, in a little time was ob
served the waving of a hat; whereupon the brig was
brought too, and the boat, with the mate and a fuffi
cient number of mariners, was immediately dispatched
to give the necessary assistance, who took from the
wreck of a small vessel, a man, the only surviving per
son on board her, whose situation was distressing be
yond description, having bound himfelf with a rope to
the highest part of her, to prevent his being walhed
off; and to keep his head above water, was obliged to
stand on his feet, and then the walh of the sea was
frequently as high as his breast, and being brought on
board the brig, with only the remains of life, great
caution was necessary to preserve it. As soon as he
recovered fufficient spirits for conversation, he informed
that his name is John Vellum ; that he had come out
of Duck Creek in a small fhallop to go oystering, and
that die was overfet three days before, in a hard
squall of wind ; that he had remained in the situation
they found him ever since, without eating or drinking,
and had been twice driven out to sea in the time. He
also said, that the Ikipper of said fhallop (whose name
was Martin Joiner) had died the day after the accident,
being unable to support himfelf through the fatigue,
hardihip and depression of spirits he underwent. He
also said, he had seen at a diflance several vessels in the
time ; and, that the day preceding that of his delivery,
a ship had passed very near him, that he made what
signals he could, and believes they were discovered, as
the ship hove too three times, but afterwards stood on
again, without any further attempt to assist him.
Last Saturday Andrew Leblanc and Samuel Preflon
were, pursuant to their sentence, hanged on the com
mons near this city, for the robbery of Mr. Vanuxem's
flore.
Saturday fennight Miss Lydia Beakes, daugh
ter of Nathan Beakes, senior, departed this life, in
the 25th year of her age, after a lingering illness,
which Are bore with great calmness and serenity of
mind; and on Sunday evening following, her remains
were interred in the Friends burying ground at this
place, attended by a very large concourse of the most
refpedable citizens.
The ship Grand Turk, of Boston, was arrived at
the Cape.
As this ship has returned with a full cargo, and
of such articles as we generally import from Europe,
a correspondent observes, that it presages a future
happy period of our being able to dispense with that
burdensome and unnecessary traffick, which heretofore
we have carried on with Europe, to the great preju
dice of our riling empire, and future happy profpeds
of solid greatness : And that whether or not the fhip's
cargo be produdive of those advantages to the own
ers, which their merits for the undertaking deserve,
he conceives it will promote the welfare of the United
States in general, by inspiring their citizens with
emulation to equal, if not excel, their mercantile ri
vals.
displaying the Aam ConfeKation (Thirteen Stripes)
and in particular at Wampo, where he was saluted
by all the ships in the harbour, the English Com
modore's being the firft.
During the voyage the fhip's company enjoyed
their health so remarkably well, as to lose only one
man (the carpenter) on the 15th April last, of a
dysentery.
On his way home, touching at the Cape, he was
informed of the arrival at Pondecherry of the United
States, Captain Bell, of Philadelphia, having 101 l the
season, and obliged to make that port.
COME, gentle Mira ! let us gain
The mount, on yonder breezy plain,
To marie accomplish'd spring:
The lucid flreams, the flow'ry meads,
The verdant hills, and smiling shades,
Where birds forever ling.
And fee what pleasing charms arise,
In vivid bloom, before the eyes,
Which captivate the foul:
What pity, 'tis such feenes as these
Should ever yield to brumal days,
And winter's rude control.
But yield they must —nor mourn to find
The fame take place with human kind ;
But to contentment given : —
Still let thy spotless life declare,
That virtue and religion are,
The only way to Heaven.
