ALBANY, March 27.
Extract from the journal of the Senate of the State of New York.
RESOLVED, That the delegates be instructed to press Congress for a decision in the long protracted controversy respecting the right of this state, to the district commonly called the New-Hampshire Grants, not on consideration of the public expediency, but consistent with the assurances of Congress, according to equity. That they represent in the most pointed terms, the grievous injustice done to the state, by such delay, especially after a submission in compliance with the unanimous recommendation of Congress; and claim most expressly a performance of the solemn engagement of Congress to make the said decision, on a pledge no less sacred than that of the faith of the United States, which ought not to be violated on any pretence whatsoever. That they likewise represent to Congress the danger that may arise from further procrastination. That the leaders of the district aforesaid, have actually raised troops, and do now employ those troops to reduce other inhabitants resident in said district, and acknowledging themselves citizens of this state, to submit to the said assumed government; and that when every state ought to be in the full enjoyment of the blessings of peace under the constitution of the union; this alone, is in the disagreeable situation of having hostilities already commenced against its citizens. But that if the most recur to force for the preservation of her lawful authority, the impartial world will pronounce that none of the bloodshed, disorder or confusion, which may ensue, can be imputable to this legislature, who appeal to the journals of Congress for the rectitude of their moderation, and liberality of measures they have invariably pursued to produce an amicable determination of the controversy. And lastly, that they, if necessary, be most explicit on the subject, and inform Congress that this legislature conceive themselves to be urgently pressed by the great duty of self-preservation, to prepare, without the loss of time, for the worst events. And however sincerely they are disposed to maintain the union, and to manifest an inviolable respect for Congress, if the decision which has so long in vain been solicited, should not be pronounced within two months, next after nine states shall be represented in Congress, subsequent to this state being represented there, no further expectations can be entertained of such decision, and that this state, with whatever deep regret, will be compelled to consider herself as left to pursue her own councils, destitute of the protection of the United States, to whose judgment they have cheerfully submitted, and on whose justice they have hitherto relied.
The committee further report it as their opinion, that if Congress should delay the decision of said controversy, at the time above limited, it ought to be considered as a denial of justice. That the act, intitled, "An act to empower the Congress of the United States of America, to determine all controversies, relating to certain lands in the counties of Cumberland, Gloucester, Charlotte and Albany, commonly called the New-Hampshire Grants," passed the 21st day of October, 1779, ought to be repealed; in order that this legislature may be left at liberty, to propose an adjustment of the said dispute in the mode prescribed by the 9th article in the federal union, or to take such other measures as the preservation of their country from lawless invasion and encroachment may require."
BOSTON, April 29.
A gentleman lately from France, has favoured us with the following EDICT of the King's Privy Council, of the 1st of December 1783, respecting the Bills of Exchange drawn from the East-Indies and America.
EXTRACT from the Registers of the KING'S Privy Council.
"THE King having ordered by his Privy Council's edict, of the 23d of February last, that the payment of the bills of exchange drawn in the East-Indies and America, respecting the navy and colonies service, should be prolonged twelve months from the time fixed on the face of said bills. And moreover, that though his Majesty's intentions had been only to include in the said disposition, the bills respecting the expences occasioned by the war, a false interpretation has been given that induces persons to think, that it also includes without distinction, all the bills drawn in the East-Indies and America. His Majesty, after having taken the necessary measures, to the end that the bills which form the object of the edict of the 23d of February last, shall be paid successively in conformity to his orders, and without any further delay. His Majesty has also been pleased to put an end to all kind of uneasiness, respecting all bills of exchange which shall be drawn in future, either in America, or the East-Indies. To which, be
pleased to pay a due regard, having heard the declaration of the Sieur De Callonne, Counsellor Ordinary at the King's Council, Comptroller General of finances. The King being present has ordered, and orders that the bills of exchange drawn in America, dated after the first of January, 1784, and those from the East-Indies, after the first of July, in the same year, shall not be subject to the said edict; but shall be paid at the period mentioned on the face of the bills as formerly; and all those dated before that time, respecting the expences of the navy, during the war, will be paid at the époque and time prefixed by the said edict. Given in his Majesty's presence at Versailles, the first of December, 1783."

Saturday was towed into this harbour, a Schooner of about 30 tons, which was found overset in the bay. She is supposed to be a vessel which came out of Falmouth on Tuesday, with three men on board, and to have met with this accident in the storm the day following. The people undoubtedly perished. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape-Francois, to his correspondent here, dated March 26, 1784.
"I beg you to make known, for the convenience of the gentlemen in trade, that the St. Nicholas Mole, will be in future the place where all the vessels coming into this part of the world shall be obliged to sell their cargoes. Large houses of commerce are in consequence beginning to be established there, and in great quantity."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Charleston, dated Baltimore, April 8, 1784.
"Yesterday the President of Congress received a letter from the Minister of France, purporting that the King his master had finally determined on L'Orient as a free port; and that all American navigators might confide in it as such, and govern themselves accordingly."
A Paris paper of January 26, has the following paragraph, "The American officers, in forming the Society of Cincinnati, came to a determination to give each according to his rank, such a sum as may form a sufficient fund for avoiding an annual assistance to the widows and children of such officers as have fallen in the late war.—The French officers, highly approving of their intention, came to a resolution of following their example, and, in their last assembly, they agreed to raise a fund of 60 000 livres, which is to be sent to General Washington, to be disposed of agreeable to the plan of the society. The Comte de Rochambeau has subscribed 6000 livres; M. de Chetelux 4000; the Field Marshals have been taxed at 2000; the Brigadiers at 1500; & every Colonel at 1000."

State of New Hampshire. NOTICE is hereby given, that Benjamin Sumner, of Claremont, in the county of Cheshire, hath petitioned the General Court of this state, setting forth that there is great need of a Ferry across the river Connecticut, near the entrance of Sugar river, in the said town of Claremont, and that the same will be of public utility. Wherefore he prayed that the exclusive right of keeping a Ferry over said Connecticut river, two miles north, and two miles south of said Sugar river may be vested in him, his heirs and assigns. On which petition the General Court ordered, that the petitioner be heard thereon, before the General Assembly, on the second Thursday of their first session under the new Constitution; and that in the mean time the petitioner cause the substance of his said petition and order of Court thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted. Attest, E. THOMPSON Sec'y. April 16, 1784.

The brig Olive-Branch, Capt. Davis, arrived at Boston, on Thursday last, in 30 days from London, by whom we have the following intelligence, viz.
P A R I S, January 22.
The public were too precipitate in their censures of the Queen of Portugal, set her proceedings on the coast of Angola. We now learn, with admiration, that, that sovereign has destroyed, along the said coast all the Portuguese settlements, where the Negro trade was carried on, having declared all the Blacks to be free, and they are all to be made Christians. It is well known that all the Kings of Congo and Angola are vassals to Portugal, and are masters of all the coast from the river Dandas to that of Coanza. Upon this revolution, so much to the honor of this age, the Queen of Portugal has received the most obliging letter from the Quakers in America.
L O N D O N,
March 10. The friends to the Americans are meditating another attempt to destroy the Navigation Act, the palladium of our commerce, by taking off the prohibition of an intercourse between the New States and our West-India islands; a bill for which purpose we are informed is to be brought immediately into Parliament by a distinguished Commoner.
It may be expedient to ask—Will the American gratitude be called forth by this extravagant profusion of British kindness? Far otherwise.
The rage for Air Balloons has become universal in France: small ones are sold in the shops for the use of children; and Mons. Bourboulon, a manufacturer at Javel, near Paris, advertises to sell inflammable air for the purpose of filling aerostatic globes, at the moderate price of three sous, six deniers (not quite two pence Engl.) a cubic foot!
We are credibly informed, that eighteen Commissioners are to be appointed, under the great seal, to consider the propriety of concluding a commercial treaty with the United States of America; who are to report their opinion, which is to be laid before Parliament.
The remaining possessions belonging to Great Britain in North-America, are to be erected into one grand government, with a Governor General, and several subordinate Governors, subject to the controul of the Governor General; similar to the presidencies in India, under the controul of the Governor General of Bengal.
M. D'Arcy of Galway is a very singular character: he unites a fund of humor and sound sense, to true Hibernian dialect and courage. In the last Galway election he had a dispute with a young gentleman, whom he challenged. As a duel is not to be avoided in that field of Mars, the gentleman alleged they should meet on very unequal terms, as Mr. D'Arcy, who has not the use of his limbs, is carried about from place to place in the arms of chairmen, and hoped he would desire any of his friends to meet him in his place. D'Arcy swore it never was his mode of fighting, nor that of his country, to do it by proxy, and insisted that he must meet himself. His adversary finding no alternative, went to the ground at the appointed hour where he found Mr. D'Arcy seated in his arm chair, anxious for the combat. His adversary again struck with the disparity, and determined not to be out-done in spirit, dispatched his second for another arm chair and in that sedentary posture they fought, till after some shots the matter was happily adjusted.
March 18. Parliament, it is now said, will certainly be dissolved, either to-morrow or on Monday.
An air balloon, of a very unusual Magnitude, is getting ready, and is to be let off by his Majesty in Kensington Gardens, in the course of a few days.
The aerostatic globe sent off by Mr. Ashley in St. George's Fields, on the 12th inst. at ten minutes before one o'clock, fell the same day to the great clap-gate field near Faversham, Kent, precisely at half past two o'clock—the distance of 47 miles. Mr. John Bennet, shipwright, and T. Post, fisherman, said it was tore at the end as large as a tea-cup—that two pieces of tape hung from the hole: the accident happened, it is supposed, from the air balloon breaking loose from the car, which it seems it did the moment it was ready to ascend. The Curate of the parish and several other gentlemen confirm the above. The diameter of the globe, 8 feet 3 inches, makes the circumference 26 feet nearly; and the superficial content in square inches 7722: now allowing fourteen lb. and a half of atmospheric air to press on every square inch of the globe's surface, the quantity 49 ton, 190wt. 24lb. 8lb. went through an most amazing rate.
March 19. The idea of an immediate dissolution of Parliament is ridiculous, in the present state of public credit: such a measure is beyond the efficiency of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL Minister of the day.
The King of France is now on the point of establishing an Academy of Experimental Agriculture, which will bid fair for proving of the highest utility to that kingdom. A farm of 1500 acres is marked out for them in a royal domain, within ten leagues of Paris, where they are to make experiments necessary to establish the art upon uncontested principles. There are also to be a Court of Justice, and appeal from all parts of the kingdom, in the enclosure of commons and other lands, in such a manner as to facilitate greatly that circumstance in rural economy, which is so much wanting in France. No less than 300,000 livres a year is assigned to this Academy, to support its expenses.
The pensions allowed the Loyalists, which began last month, do not amount to five per cent. on the capital of the losses which those unhappy and deserving people sustained.
House of Commons, March 17. Read a second time, and committed for to-morrow, the bill carrying on the trade to America.
LEEDS, March 16. Saturday last, W. B. Leonard, late an apothecary in this town, was tried at York, and found guilty of obtaining models and plans of machines and utensils used in the woollen manufactory, with intent to export the same to America, & sentenced to suffer twelve months imprisonment, to pay a fine of 200l. and to be imprisoned till the fine be paid.
N E W - Y O R K, April 15.
Last Tuesday morning a most horrid and cruel murder was committed on the body of Sarah Rhodee, who lived in the upper barracks, by one Tunis Casy.—On his examination, he confessed, that he had no enmity or hatred against her, and during her residence with her, she had treated him with every mark of kindness: that he had no reason to suppose she had any money with her: that he could assign no reason for his committing the act: that after the murder, he made an effort to abscond, and had actually got out of the city; but returned, went to his employer, and requested to be apprehended, informing him of the vile deed he had perpetrated.
It is a fact, that one of the toasts drank by the King of Prussia and the Emperor is, "The Volunteers of Ireland." The approbation of such characters proves that there is a dignity in true patriotism which always commands respect.
RICHMOND, (Virginia) February 6.
Extract of a letter from Washington, Jan. 23.
"The Indians lately took a lad, of the name of Cox, prisoner, at a station in Kentucky, called the Crab Orchard. The Indians were followed and overtaken: they mercilessly murdered the boy: our people in pursuit made a prisoner of one of the enemy, without his receiving a wound. The Savage, on falling into our hands, shewed all the signs of consternation and despair; and a good use, no doubt, might have been made of his terror, by making a certain discovery what tribe of Indians had lately infested the Kentucky path in the wilderness; but, imprudently, one of the company gave him a Georgia parole; being, no doubt, provoked by the murder of the lad. About the beginning of this month, two men were killed on the waters of Salt-river, in Jefferson county; one by the name of Archer, a person of some note in that county. The 16th inst. three men, whose names are yet unknown, were found dead on the path near Cumberland-river: it appeared that they were killed in their tent about two nights before: by some tokens left, it is believed to be done by the Cherokees: or rather a banditti of that nation, settled below the Whirl on the Tennessee."
B O S T O N, April 26.
Extract of a letter from the Havanna, March 15.
"This government, it seems, has formed the resolution to put a stop to all foreign commerce to this place; in order to this, the first step that was taken by the Governor, was to issue an order to confine American merchants in the common goal without any previous ceremony; however, this order was soon countermanded, but was succeeded by another to depart from the island in one month, which is the only occurrence in public or private matters in this quarter."
Last Saturday afternoon two French lads about 16 or 18 years of age, being out a gunning at West Boston, in getting over a fence the piece of one of them accidentally went off, and the charge entering his head, under his right eye, in a few minutes after put an end to his existence.
