BALTIMORE, February 6.
The celebrated Irilh Patriot, Mr. Gratton, moved
in the IriSh House of Commons, on the 16th of Oc
tober last, an address of thanks to his Excellency Ge
neral Elliott, for his gallant defence of Gibraltar, and
another address of thanks to Lord Howe, for reliev
ing that fortiefs. These addresses were ordered una
nimously.
At the fame time Mr. Hartley moved for the con
tinuance of the importation of corn at the small duty,
as the poor were in a miserable Situation, and bread
little more than ylb. the shilling; added to this, that
there were Ships at Liverpool, and other places, ready
to bring such wiShed-for relief to that kingdom.

A writer in the Connecticut Gazette, speaking of
the manufactures of this country, fays, '' All the din
ger to a country lies in not having exports equal to
imports, which will inevitably drain it of its calh, and
throw the landed interest into the hands of foreigners.
He that uses in his family one Shilling per day more
than he raises for market, will soon find himfelf grow
ing poor, while he that fells one (hilling worth per
day (free of debt otherwise) will find himfelf enriched
eighteen pounds five (hillings at the year's end. Raw
materials then, on which we can spend our labour,
and the grosser manufactures, if I may so call (hip
building, wherein we may have good wages, is the
true road for a young country, until the inhabitants
become too numerous for the demands of agriculture,
then lesser manufactures become necessary for the sup
port of the surplus labourers. But here we ought to
remember, that we Should not neglect our flax and
our wool in our household manufactures, for though
you may buy cloth at half the price, yet all that is
manufactured in our families is so much gain. It is
better to work for a penny per day, than play for no
thing. In a word, working iron into anchors, drip
bolts and spikes, sawing your timber, and working it
into vessels, railing hemp and manufacturing it into
cordage and duck, railing provisions, wool and flax,
and manufacturing them into a coarser kind, taking
Lih and oil,feems the language of Providence to Ame
rica, especially to the New England States at this pe
riod, while the very allies of the wood we burn, con
verted into pot and pearl alh, is a considerable branch
of export."
From a late eastern paper we learn, that his Ex
cellency Thomas Chittendon, Esquire, is elected Go
vernor of the state of Vermont, his Honour Paul
In our last we intimated a diffatisfa&ion having ari
sen between the government of the state of Vermont,
and a number of persons in the lower part of the coun
ty of Windham, relative to the jurifdidion of said
state :—Since which, a gentleman diredly from that
state, gives us the following particulars, viz. That
on the ißth ult. the party who call themselves York
ers, headed by a certain Captain Carpenter, of Guil
ford, attacked the inn of Mr. jofiah Arms, of Brattle
borough, the quarters of J. Farnfworth, Esq. Com
missary General, Major Boyden, Capt. Waters, and
Lieutenant Filk, of the state troops, and demanded the
immediate delivery of Captain Waters; on which Mr.
Farnfworth expostulated with them for some time, to
no effed; when being exasperated, they fired about
thirty balls through the house, wounded Major boy
den in the leg, and snot a traveller through the thigh.
The gentlemen before-mentioned finding themselves
unable to refill: numbers (the troops being quartered
about a mile distant) Captain Waters voluntarily re
signed himfelf up to the party, who immediately car
ried him into the state of Massachusetts: But being
pursued the next day, by fix Vermonters, they were
overtaken at Northampton, and Captain Waters re
leased. On the 22d Lieutenant Fiik, with a party of
about 40 men, having patrolled to Guilford, were fir
ed upon by a number of the Yorkers, and Lieutenant
FiSk, with several others, wounded: Lieutenant FiSk
was wounded in the groin, fuppefcd mortal. On this
intelligence about 50 Green Mountain-Boys appeared,
when the whole body of Yorkers (who before held
their head-quarters at Guilford) diiperfed; some of
whom to the state of New-York, and 0 hers to dif
ferent parts of the United States.

A TRACT of land lying on both lides of Paulinf
kim creek, and within 3 miles of the river Dela
ware, formerly surveyed and returned for 900 acres,
with the ufuai allowance, but is supposed to contain
1000 acres. The quality of the land is extraordinary
good for wheat, lies level, and is very free from (tones
and easily worked ; it may be conveniently laid out in
to four or five plantations, each to have a front on the
water, as the creek runs nearly through the middle
of the trad. There is a good and convenient landing
on the creek, about a mile and a half from the land,
where Durham boats of any burthen load, and rafts
may be floated down to Philadelphia. There arc on
the land two good and inexhaustible limestone quar
ries, one on either fide of the creek ; and three well
improved plantations, now in possession of John Puf
fon, Ralph Brugler and Samuel Bonham, whole Icafes
expire next spring. A contiderable deal of upland and
some meadow already cleared, and much more to clear.
The plcafant and convenient lituation, the good qua
lity of the upland, meadowland and bottom ground,
must always render this trad of land equal, if not su
perior, to any of the fame extent in Sussex county.
The fubferiber willies to fell the whole to one person ;
or, if too much for one, to several, who would jointly
purchase, and agree to divide the land to suit their
own convenience. As the whole of the land may be
cleared, the purchaser or purchasers can be supplied
with a trail of timberland which lies very handy, at a
cheap and reasonable rate. The payments will be easy.
The title is clear. For particulars and terms of sale
apply to the fubferiber living in the townlhip of King

the river Raritan.
