For the NEW-YORK PACKET. Messrs. PRINTERS, As most persons are, probably, ignorant of the laws respecting buildings hereafter to be erected in this city; you and the other publishers of periodical papers will render essential service to your Fellow-Citizens, by publishing the following ABSTRACT, as it may prevent the innocent and unwary from subjecting themselves to expensive prosecutions and heavy penalties, for erecting buildings contrary to law. An act was passed on the 31st of December, 1761, entitled, "An act for the more effectual prevention of fires, and for regulating or building in the city of New-York." On the 1st of April, 1775, another act was passed amending this and suspending its operation till the first of the ensuing year; and by the first act of the last session of the Legislature, these acts were suspended till the first day of January last, which being elapsed, the acts are now in full force.
The city is divided by a line beginning on the easterly edge of Hudson's river, in the middle of Partition-street, and running south-easterly through the middle of the said street, and through the middle of Fair-street, to the middle of Nassau-street; thence north-easterly through the middle of Nassau-street, until it comes opposite to the middle of Frankford-street; thence south-easterly through the middle of Frankford-street, till it comes opposite to the middle of Vandewater-street; thence easterly through the middle of Vandewater-street, till it comes to the middle of Queen-street; thence southerly through the middle of the same, till it comes to the middle of St. George's-square; thence easterly through the middle of Cherry-street, till it comes opposite to the middle of St. James's-hip; thence southerly through the middle of the said hip to the east-river;—all buildings to the northward or north eastward of this line, may be erected with wood, and covered with shingles or boards, provided, that the height does not exceed fourteen feet from the level of the street to the eves of the roof; that the height of the roof do not exceed one third of its breadth, and the upper part of the roof be nearly a flat or at least two equal fifth parts of the span of such roof. And all buildings to be erected to the southward and south-westward of this line, shall be made of stone or brick, and roofed with tile or slate, except the flat of any roof, provided the flat shall not exceed two fifth parts of the span of such roof, and there be erected round such flat, a strong balcony or balustrade, and a platform and steps to the top of every chimney; and except the roofs and coverings of steeples, cupolas and spires of churches and other public buildings, and except buildings to be erected on new made ground, when an inquisition shall be previously returned by the Sheriff and filed in the Town-Clerk's office, that a sufficient foundation to support a building of stone or brick, could not be laid without exposing the owner to the expense of at least one hundred pounds. And when any building is to be new roofed, it shall be done with tile or slate, unless it shall be found by inquisition that the building is insufficient to bear such roof.
All buildings erected contrary hereto, are declared to be public nuisances. The Judges of the Supreme Court, are directed to give the matter in charge to the Grand Jury at every term. The Aldermen of the several wards, except the Out-ward, are directed to present to one of the Judges five days before the first day of each term, a list of all the buildings erected in their respective wards since the last term, to the intent that the same may be delivered to the Grand Jury, upon pain of such fine as the Court may think adequate to the offence. The building thus erected, being declared a public nuisance, may, upon conviction, be ordered by the Court to be abated or removed, or if suffered to stand, must pay a double proportion of the ordinary taxes. The proprietor is subject to a penalty of fifty pounds, and the workman who shall build or roof any such house or building, to a penalty of five pounds.

L O N D O N, Jan. 23. Extract of a letter from Guildford, Dec. 7. "Ever since the return of his Serene Highness the Prince of Orange to his residence in this province, affairs wear a very placid appearance; and there is now an hope that matters will shortly return to their due order. There is a talk here, that the Hereditary Prince will visit the Court, in alliance with the House of Orange, in the spring. The continued rains begin to cause various inundations."
Butler, the celebrated author of Hudibras, was buried in St. Paul's church, Covent Garden. Some of the inhabitants of that parish hearing some time ago that so famous a man had been buried in their church, and regretting that neither stone nor inscription recorded the event, entered into and collected a subscription for the purpose of erecting something worthy of Butler's memory. Accordingly they employed an artist, who constructed an elegant monument, and lately fitted it up in the portico of the church, bearing a medallion of that great man, which was taken from the monument put up by Barber, the Mayor of London, in Westminster Abbey. The following lines were contributed on the occasion at the request of the subscribing inhabitants of the parish, by Mr. O'Brien,
and, are engraved on the stone beneath the medallion: A few plain men, to pomp and pride unknown, O'er a poor bard have rais'd this humble stone; Whose wants alone his genius could surpass, Victim of zeal! the matchless Hudibras! What, though fair freedom suffered in his page, Reader, forgive the author—for the age; How few, alas! disdain to cringe and cant, When 'tis the mode to play the sycophant! But oh! let all be taught from Butler's fate, Who hope to make their fortunes by the great; That wit and pride are always dangerous things, And little faith is due to Courts and Kings.

NEW-YORK, FEBRUARY 27.
By His Excellency GEORGE CLINTON, Esq. Governor of the State of New-York, General and Commander in Chief of all the Militia, and Admiral of the Navy of the same. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS His Excellency JAMES BOWDOIN, Esq. Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, did issue his proclamation, bearing date the ninth day of this instant month of February, setting forth, that the General Court of the said Commonwealth had, on the fourth day of the said month declared, that a horrid and unnatural rebellion had been openly and traitorously, raised and levied against the said Commonwealth, with design to subvert and overthrow the constitution and form of government thereof, and further setting forth, that it appeared that Daniel Shays, of Pelham, and Luke Day, of West Springfield, in the county of Hampshire; Adam Wheeler, of Hubbardston, in the county of Worcester, and Eli Parsons, of Adams, in the county of Berkshire, within the said Commonwealth, had been principals in, and abettors and supporters of the said unnatural, unprovoked, and wicked rebellion against the dignity, authority and government of the said commonwealth: The said proclamation was therefore at the desire of the said General Court, issued for discovering and apprehending the said several offenders above named, so that they might be rendered to justice; and it was thereby declared, that the persons who should apprehend them, should be entitled to receive out of the public treasury for that service, a reward of one hundred and fifty pounds for the said Daniel Shays, one hundred pounds each for the said Luke Day, Adam Wheeler, and Eli Parsons;—and his said Excellency the Governor of the said Commonwealth hath, in conformity to the articles of confederation and perpetual union between the United States, demanded of me, that the said offenders above named, if they shall have fled to this State, be delivered up and removed to the said Commonwealth: And whereas the Senate and Assembly of this State, in order more fully to evince the sense of the government of this State, have requested me to give assurances that the several rewards above mentioned, will be paid out of the treasury of this State, to any person or persons who shall apprehend the said offenders above named respectively, and deliver them into the custody of any of the Sheriffs within this State. I have therefore issued this proclamation, hereby requiring all Sheriffs and other officers, and ministers of justice within their respective bailiwicks and jurisdictions, and all other the citizens of this State, to take and apprehend the said Daniel Shays, Luke Day, Adam Wheeler and Eli Parsons, if they shall be found within this State, and convey to one of the gaols within this State, and deliver them to the keeper of such gaol, who is hereby required to receive them, and to keep them in safe and close custody in such gaol, until they the said several offenders above named shall be removed to the said Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or until they shall severally, by due course of law, be delivered from the gaol to which they shall be respectively committed: And I do hereby offer and assure to the person or persons, who shall, within this State, apprehend the said Daniel Shays, Luke Day, Adam Wheeler and Eli Parsons, severally, and deliver them into the custody of any of the Sheriffs thereof, the respective rewards above mentioned, to be paid out of the treasury of this State: And I do hereby enjoin and require the citizens of this State not to supply with provisions, arms or military stores, nor to afford any other aid whatsoever to any person or persons who shall be found in arms against the said Commonwealth, as they will answer the same at their peril.
Given under my hand and the Privy Seal, at the city of New-York, this 24th day of February, in the eleventh year of the Independence of the said State, 1787. GEO. CLINTON.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS Assembled. February 21, 1787.
Whereas there is provision in the articles of Confederation and perpetual union for making alterations therein by the assent of a Congress of the United States and of the Legislatures of the several States; and whereas experience hath evinced that there are defects in the present confederation, as a mean to remedy which several of the States, and particularly the State of New-York by express instructions to their delegates in Congress, have suggested a Convention for the purposes expressed in the following resolution, and such Convention appearing to be the most probable mean of establishing in these States, a firm national government:
Resolved, That in the opinion of Congress it is expedient that on the second Monday in May next, a Convention of delegates who shall have been appointed by the several States, be held at Philadelphia, for the sole and express purpose of revising the articles of confederation, and reporting to Congress and the several Legislatures, such alterations and provisions therein, as shall when agreed to in Congress, and confirmed by the States, render the federal constitution adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union. CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'y.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the State's army of Massachusetts, dated Pittsfield, Feb. 12.
"The army is now in this town, which is about 30 miles from Albany, and within 4 miles of the New-York line. Parties are continually on the scout, and bring in a great number of prisoners. Before this reaches you, you will doubtless have heard many things highly disadvantageous to Gen. Patterson; they are the reports of malicious enemies. General Patterson, at West Stockbridge, had a small affair with about 100 of the insurgents. He marched his men up in three columns—was fired upon by their centinels—attacked them instantly—fired upon them twice or three times, and dispersed them. At Stockbridge, he ordered them to lay down their arms and disperse, on penalty of being fired on immediately—they did so."
"Mr. Gould, a lawyer, is this moment taken by a State warrant, as a suspected person." It is with pleasure we lay before the public the following truly patriotic letter from His Excellency John Sullivan, Esq. President of the State of New-Hampshire, to His Excellency Governor Bowdoin, dated Portsmouth, February 9, 1787.
S I R, I am this moment honoured with your Excellency's favours of the 2d and 7th instant, with the inclosure, and sincerely congratulate your Excellency and the Government on the happy success of your efforts to quell the daring insurrection in your State. You may rest assured, Sir, that no measures shall be wanting in this State, to prevent the rebels from receiving countenance, aid or protection in this State; and every effort will be tried to apprehend such offenders as you shall from time to time, name to us, if residing in New-Hampshire—that they may be sent to receive the punishment due to their offence from the Commonwealth they have so greatly injured.
I have the honour to be, with great respect, your Excellency's most obedient servant, JOHN SULLIVAN. His Excellency Governor Bowdoin. Extract of a letter from Pittsfield, Feb. 12, 1787.
"The conduct of General Patterson has been so grossly misrepresented, and so much to his dishonor, that I am pleased to find on our arrival at this place, he has conducted every thing with propriety and dignity."
"In his attack on the insurgents at West Stockbridge, every body gave him honor, which is a proof of his deserving it. At the town of Lee, (the last affair) he marched up to the insurgents, and sent forward a messenger, ordering them to disperse, or lay down their arms, and they should have good quarters; they complied with his request, upon condition that General Patterson would use his personal endeavours that they should be tried in this county, to which the General acceded & promised, that if they would remain peaceably at home, he would not take them up without further orders from General Lincoln. As the declaration of rebellion was not known at that time, and as General Patterson had no intimation that General Lincoln was on his way to Berkshire. I cannot see what more could be expected of him. The State's army had the insurgents entirely in their power, from numbers and situation, and if Gen. Patterson had allowed his men to rush on them as they wished, not a word would have been said. After this agreement on the part of Wiley, their commander, the insurgents took off in different routes, firing their pieces promiscuously in the air. Some of the State troops took this for an attack on them, and made prisoners and disarmed upwards of 50, the greatest part of whom took the oath of allegiance."
"This state of facts I have from Captain Danforth. If any thing further could have been expected from Gen. Patterson, it was that he should have disarmed them. A party under Col. Tyler went to Wiley's house last night; another party went to Williamstown (20 miles) where it was expected Parsons and some other chiefs were. They have not yet returned."
"The insurgents in this county are more obstinate, more stout hearted, men of more property, and consideration than I have yet seen. Captain Hubbard was taken at the head of his men at Lee, and if his repeated orders to fire had been obeyed, there would have been a smart skirmish. He is a man of good estate."
A correspondent observes that elocution is a desirable object. If a boy is designed for the pulpit or the bar, it is absolutely necessary; if for no particular profession, yet in a country, where every man may be called into the public councils, a clear and manly utterance is a valuable acquisition. The first object should most certainly be, a slow and distinct pronunciation —without this, there can be no graceful elocution ; care at the same time should be taken, to prevent its degenerating into the sluggish, heavy manner of some boys, whose tones are really unnatural and disgusting. When this is obtained, the graces of elocution will claim attention; a loud rant, and violent tone of voice , are never pleasing in a boy.— Modesty is a most becoming grace, it is one of the most elegant ornaments of rhetoric, and the want of it in youth will always give disgust; the theatrical manner of speaking should not therefore be practised. Much action requires too great a degree of confidence for a boy; without confidence it will be awkward , and if awkward , it will render the finest speech and best pronunciation, ridiculous . The theatrical delivery is never pleasing—
but on the stage; it is the natural, easy, plain, distinct, and properly modulated style of pronunciation , we wish to see practised as the only necessary one.— Besides, there are many things in those extracts of plays, which are commonly spoken that may be of no service to the morals of the children, there are many things likewise indecorous —and most certainly every thing that might excite an indecorous idea , should on such occasions be avoided. Extracts from numberless elegant writers, such as Demosthenes, Plato, Virgil, Cicero, Milton, Pope and Addison , with some of our modern performances, are better calculated to learn boys a good pronunciation , than any scraps of plays whatever. Upon the whole, though vehemence of action , and loudness of voice , may appear to some truly eloquent , yet a clear, a distinct, an emphatic, and an elegant utterance , without affectation, with proper action, is, and must ever be considered by all good judges, as the summit of human oratory.
His Excellency Governor Bowdoin has received a letter from the Hon. General Lincoln, dated the 13th instant.—He was then with his troops at Pittsfield, in the county of Berkshire. His Excellency has also received a letter, dated the 12th, from General Shepard, who, with a detachment of the army, by another route, was then marching into the same county. Several of the rebels, and some suspected of being their abettors, have been apprehended: The most noted are John Wheeler, late one of Shays' Aids, and Matthew Clark, said to have been busy in organizing the rebel militia. It is also said, that Dr. Whiting, a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Berkshire, has been taken into custody.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Dublin, to his friend in Baltimore, dated November 13, 1786.
"The Volunteers made a better appearance the last week, and much more in number, than they have mustered in these two or three years back.—There is much talk here that England will attempt to have an union with Ireland, similar to that of Scotland, which will knock up the volunteers, and lay their boasted INDEPENDENCE in the dirt—the people are so publicly corrupt, and privately wicked, that I think the English Cabinet would carry any measure whatever in the Parliament here, for the PATRIOTS, as they style themselves, are almost daily selling themselves."
The report in a late paper, relative to the people of Kentucky having captured a small Spanish vessel on the Ohio, probably took its rise from the following circumstances, which we are assured may be credited, viz. That some time ago, two boats belonging to some of the inhabitants on the banks of the Ohio, went down the Mississippi, and were seized as soon as they had reached the jurisdiction claimed by the Spaniards—and that some short time afterwards, in order to retaliate, General Clarke, seized on two Spanish boats, which came up to fort St. Vincent, within the jurisdiction of the United States, for the purposes of trade. It is said they had furs and cash on board to the amount of near 20,000 dollars.
Last Sabbath evening departed this life, Mr. JOHN MENNIE, in the forty-third year of his age; who, for some years past acted in the capacity of a schoolmaster in this City;—in which station he was truly eminent, being an accurate teacher, and well acquainted with the science of mathematics; and his knowledge of the English language has scarcely been exceeded by any in the present age, which his judicious grammatical compilation upon that subject (lately published) clearly evinces. The ART OF PRINTING he was brought up to, and followed that profession in North-Britain (his native country) and in America, for several years, with unfulfilled reputation.
Mr. Mennie was not only esteemed for his affability in business, and extensive knowledge, but likewise for his benevolence, philanthropy, honesty, sociability, and many other estimable virtues—Virtues that will endure his memory to his friends, although the spark of life is now extinct, and the lonely cavern of the grave will soon enclose his mortal frame.—This lamentable instance, may serve to teach us—that Death is no respecter of persons, and that even the most beneficial members of society are not exempted from its fatal shafts.
