American Intelligence.
RICHMOND (Virginia) March 8.
The Governor and Council have received a copy of the Definitive Treaty, concluded at Hopewell, on the Koewee River, the 28th of November, 1785, between the commissioners of the United States of America, of the one part, and the headmen and warriors of all the Cherokees of the other part. The commissioners of the United States of America to restore all the prisoners taken from the Indians during the late war, to the headmen and warriors of the Cherokees, as early as possible; and the headmen and warriors of all the Cherokees to restore all the prisoners, citizens of the United States, or subjects of their allies, to their entire liberty—and also, to restore all the negroes and other property taken during the late war from the citizens to such persons, and at such time and place, as the said commissioners shall appoint. Signed by thirty-six headmen and warriors of all the Cherokees.
PHILADELPHIA , March 10.
Tuesday last was read in the assembly of this state, a letter from Edmund Randolph, Esq. one of the commissioners appointed by the state of Virginia, to meet commissioners from the other twelve states, for the purpose of devising such regulations of trade as may be likely to promote the general interest, and some plan for removing the difficulties under which the commerce of the United States has long laboured.—This letter appoints the first Monday in September as the time, and the city of Annapolis as the place, for opening the conferences on the important subject entrusted to their deliberations. It requests a co-operation on the part of Pennsylvania.
Extract of a letter, dated Annapolis, March 3.
"I cannot forbear the freedom of mentioning to you the favourable disposition of the general assembly of this state towards complying with the requisitions of Congress, in consequence of the report of their committee lately transmitted to the executive of this state.
"It was referred to a conference of both branches of the legislature, and after a short debate, on their report to the house, leave was given to bring in a bill, investing Congress with power to levy certain duties on all goods imported, for the term of 25 years, together with an annual tax of 10s. on every hundred pounds value of property within the state, for the same period, as a fund to discharge their proportion of 1,500,000 dollars annually, required by the requisition of April 18th, 1783. As the bill is not brought forward yet, possibly my ideas of the event may prove premature; but from the best information I can get from many of the members, and the disposition discovered at the time the report of the conferees was before the house, there is no reason to doubt the passage of the bill, agreeable to the report, by a great majority. In support of this opinion, it may not be improper to add, that 350 copies of the report of 15th February, 1786, were printed by order of the house, for the information of the people in the different counties."
N E W - Y O R K , March 20.
Among the papers laid before the House of Assembly of the State of Pennsylvania, by the Vice President and Council, with their message of Friday, February 23, was a letter from the Delegates of that State in Congress, stating, that they had been informed by his Excellency Governor Clinton, that he had received undoubted intelligence that a quantity of powder and lead, much more considerable than could be necessary for private use, had been brought to Fishkill, for the purpose of being conveyed to Wyoming. The part of the message relative to Wyoming, was founded on this and some similar information.
On Wednesday the 8th inst. arrived at Alexandria from Bourdeaux, the brigantine Fanny, Capt. Smith, which place he left the 1st of January.—In lat. 36. N. long. 17. W. he was chased upwards of 12 hours by a large polacre rigged Algerine corsair, which was so near, when the began the chase, that he could see the crew's turbans and whiskers.
Capt. Smith informs, that in lat. 37, 30. N. long. 29. W. being under reefed foresail and main stay-sail, in a heavy gale of wind at S. W. he saw a large ship on her beam-ends, which he ran very near; but perceiving no one on the wreck, left her and stood his course—That on the 27th of December, on the coast of France, there was a very heavy gale of wind, in which 42 sail were lost between P'Orient and Bourdeaux.
In the General Assembly of New-Jersey, now sitting at Trenton, a message from his Excellency the Governor of the State was read, together with a letter from Mr. Otto, Charge des Affaires of France, dated New-York, 28th December, 1785, requesting liberty for a Botanist of his Most Christian Majesty to purchase a piece of 30 acres of land, for the purpose of facilitating the mutual exchange of trees and plants, &c. of both countries.—Committed to Mr. Schenk and Mr. Hall, to bring in a bill for that purpose.
We are informed that on Friday last the Honourable the Senate, in a committee of their whole House, ordered the Bill respecting a new emission of Paper Currency should lie over until the requisitions of the Honourable the Congress, of the 27th of September last, (relative to the five per cent. impost) shall be taken into consideration.
Extract of a letter from Bridge-Town (Barbadoes) January 14, 1786.
"Last night arrived an American ship, called the Favorite, Captain Derry, from Philadelphia, bound to Bilboa; she left the capes the 24th December last, and put in here in distress, having sprung aleak, carried away her mizen-mast, and six feet water in her hold."
A letter from one of the commissioners for Indian affairs to a gentleman in Carlisle, dated Miami, December 21, 1785, contains the following extract:
"Two days ago we had a determinate answer from the Shewanese. They say they had been blinded and imposed upon by bad people; that they will give no more attention to their stories, but will collect their own nation, with all others in their power, and will attend us immediately. If they are serious (as I think they are) we will be able to do business in a short time. There are here, about one hundred Delawares and Wyandots, who seem much interested in the treaty."
MARCH 23.
A letter from St. Eustatia, dated February 12, contains the following frightful account: "Last Monday there was a melancholy scene acted here. A negro slave, either out of his senses, or possessed by a devil indeed, broke open his master's room, from whence he took a large cutteau, and immediately proceeded into a school next door, where he inhumanly murdered a sweet little girl: Two others he wounded in such a manner, that it is thought they will not recover.—He then went into the street, and gave chase to a gentleman on horseback; but on finding he could not overtake him, he stopped, and pushed into a house, the master of which fortunately was at home, and had posted himself at the chamber door, in which his wife and three or four women had taken shelter. The wretch attacked the master of the house so quickly that he could not procure any means of defence, except a chair. The negro made several strokes at him, which he parried with the chair; and watching an opportunity, struck him with the leg of it, on the forehead, which stunned him so that he fell down.—Some assistance being had, he was properly secured. I have not seen him, but it is said he shews no signs of madness. It is not yet determined what dreadful death he shall suffer. Some say he will be broke-alive, and then hung up in gibbets: others that he will be burned. No death is too cruel for him—for after he had split the child's skull, and thought it was dead, the little creature having attempted to crawl away upon its hands and feet, the inhuman monster perceived it, returned, and gave it two or three strokes on the neck, almost separating the head from the body."
Another letter from the same place, dated Feb. 19. says, "To-morrow, a negro man who committed a horrid murder here, is to be broke alive, and then beheaded. His body is to be burned, and his head placed on a pole. A dreadful warning to other wretches."
LITCHFIELD (Connecticut) March 14.
A circumstance exceedingly regrettable, is the present rage of that dreadful malady the THROAT DISEASE, at Sharon, which, we are advised, attacks adult as well as infant persons, and has enrolled in the catalogue of fate, several very promising youths, who were just blossoming into life, and sporting in the sunshine of their infant years; giving full indulgence to the joys of fantastic imagination, without reflecting, that—
"The spider's most attenuated thread, Is cord—is cable, to man's tender tie on earthly bliss It breaks at every breeze." We with the faculty would wreck their pericraniums, for a remedy against the fatal consequences of so alarming an evil.
T R E N T O N , March 13.
Friday last a committee of the Hon. the Congress, consisting of Mr. Pinckney from South-Carolina, Mr. Gorham from Massachusetts, and Mr. Grayson from Virginia, arrived here. It is said they were appointed in consequence of the resolution entered into by our Assembly of the 20th ult. relative to the requisition of Congress of the 27th of September last; and that they are to have an audience this day at eleven o'clock, when it is to be hoped the doors of that Hon. House will be open.
N E W P O R T , March 20.
Last Wednesday morning the Right Reverend Dr. SEABURY held a special ordination in Trinity Church, in this city, at which time Mr. JOHN BISSET, lately from Scotland, was admitted to the Priesthood.
B O S T O N , March 30.
Capt. Freeman, who arrived here, on Monday last, from Shelburne, informs, that on the 9th inst. being about 20 leagues distant from Cape Cod, which bore E. by N. he met with a wrecked sloop, between 80 and 90 tons burthen, a high and short quarter deck, plank sheered round, green stern and quarters, a new square-sail, with a square tuck, masts and spars gone, two ports on each side—loaded with lumber, and supposed to be bound to the West-Indies. Capt. Freeman went on board, took from her a remarkable pair of tongs, marked E. C., and a ciller made of rock maple, painted red and black. He discovered no person, dead or alive; and there being a very rough sea, he was obliged to leave her.
A plain but sensible writer in the Norwich Packet, says, "I remember as long ago as when the good Gov. Talcott was at the head of this State, a poor simple man came to him one day complaining bitterly of the hardness of the times and the scarcity of money, and that he was unable to get any, and wondered they did not make money, and would have him use his influence to have a bank made."
"After hearing the good man through, he turns to him and asked him if he had any pork or
beef to sell? No.—Any wheat or grain of any kind? No.—Any butter, cheese, wool or flax; for says the Governor, if you have I will give you money, for them. Why no, he had not any thing to sell. Then says the Governor, suppose we should make a bank of paper money, how do you expect to get it? Why truly he did not know."
"Let us run in debt less, spend less, pay more, be more frugal and industrious, and we shall soon find our affairs mending; our debts, both public and private lessening, and money become plenty. For the scarcity of money is a disease that will work its own remedy, and make a plenty as in other merchandise. But it must be in a way of industry and frugality—and whenever money becomes plenty in any other way, it does more hurt than good, as it creates idleness and wickedness among a people, of which we have already too much."
FALMOUTH , March 23.
"We hear from Gorham, that Mr. Stephen Harris of that town, has lost four children of the throat distemper—the eldest in the eleventh year of her age, and the youngest in her third. What makes this dispensation of Providence the more affecting, is, that his wife was brought to bed five days after the death of the first child; the next day after, another died; on the second day from the death of this, a third died; and next day after, the fourth. Under this pressure of grief she now lays dangerously ill."

VERSE S.
Upon the Death of a favourite DOG.
'In him alone fawning is no flattery.'
GOLDSMITH on the affections of a dog.
AH! ye who know true friendship's pow'r, It's kind attendance o'er the heart, Let pity claim the friendly hour, While fond remembrance shares a part.
Nor wanton smile ye heedless crowd, To think a dog demands my lays; But rather blush ye little proud, That worth like his outshines thy praise.
The firmest friend, the most sincere, Was he, and free from mean alloy; A look that spoke, express'd his care, His tail that shook declar'd his joy.
Although to fawning much inclin'd, His heart from flattery still was free; His duteous arts bespoke him kind, They glow'd with sacred friendship's plea.
A single pat disclos'd his love, A call secur'd him at command; He'd fondle round, and oft' he strove To ask the favour from the hand.
The stranger's foot he aptly mark'd, And like a centinel he stood; He shew'd his duty while he bark'd, And strove to do his master good.
But who can fate's decrees avert? The monarch must resign his Queen— Fate struck the poignard to his heart, And death's dark curtain clos'd the scene.
