New-York, Nov. 1.
We are informed that the House of Representatives of Massachusetts have concurred to the Vote of the Senate of that State, for calling a Convention.
On Tuesday night a seaman, named Good, belonging to the Schooner Sincerity, Capt. White, from Baltimore, fell into the water at Murray's-wharf, and was unfortunately drowned. Means were used to recover him, by several humane gentlemen, but to no purpose. His breast exhibited marks of injury, which were most probably occasioned by his having been bruised between the vessel and the wharf.
TO THE PUBLIC. HAVING yesterday, late in the afternoon, received information of a report circulating here, that Peter Landais (who was an officer in the Squadron I commanded in Europe in the late war, and was, in America, broke, and rendered incapable of public service by a Court Martial, for matters of a date subsequent to, and unconnected with, the charges I made against him in Europe; which are of a nature to call his life in question, and of which the most material proofs have never been published, but are lodged in the Office of Foreign Affairs) did personally insult me in this city on Friday last, by pointing in my face; I take this method to declare, that the said report is an absolute falsehood: it being impossible that such an insult should have been offered to me with impunity, under any circumstances whatever.
PAUL JONES. New-York, Monday, 29th Oct. 1787.
I DO hereby certify to the Public, that I really and in fact spat all the spittle, that I could spare out of my mouth then, into the face of John Paul, or Paul Jones, when he was speaking to Mr. Millegan, and that I told that Gentleman in a loud voice, you see how I spit in his face.
PETER LANDAIS. New-York, Oct. 29, 1787.
P.S. Mr. Paul Jones wants to put artfully a cloud before the eyes of the Public, and make me appear as a man guilty of high crimes, in saying in his letter that there are charges of his against me lodged in the Office of Foreign Affairs of Mr. Jay, which are of a nature to call my life in question, and which have not been published: it is an untruth; I have had all those false charges, and the answers to them, candidly printed and published better than two years ago, in my justifying Memorial, where they may be found and read by whoever has not read them. Moreover, I offered to him said Memorial when I met him at Dr. Manton's, Esq. Member of Congress, but did not then spit in his face, but I told him enough to provoke any man of honor, and finished (all in view of that Hon. Gentleman) by telling him, that were I not more afraid of the law than I was of him, I would have caned him, showing him a stick.
New-York, October 30th, 1787. CAPTAIN PAUL JONES having requested me to relate in writing, what I know respecting an insult said to have been offered him, on Friday last, by Captain Peter Landais, I do certify that the following is a true narrative of all that I know respecting the matter.
On Friday the 26th instant, I think about noon, I accidentally met Capt. Jones in Water-Street, at the upper end of the alley, known by the name of Governor's Alley. We stopped, and had conversed about two or three minutes, when I saw Captain Landais coming down the street towards us, which I just observed to Captain Jones, whose back was then towards him, to that when he passed us, which he did very slowly, Captain Jones's face must have been more towards me than towards him. Captain Landais kept his eyes upon us with a kind of smile in his countenance, till he was about six or seven yards distant, when looking more particularly at me, he pronounced these words: "I spit in his face." To this I made no reply whatever, but when he walked on, I asked Capt. Jones whether he understood what Captain Landais had said; he answered "no, I did not hear him." As I had no desire to foment, or to interfere in their quarrel, motives of delicacy prevented me from repeating to Captain Jones the words I had heard. We continued to converse a minute or two longer, and I remarked the same degree of composure and tranquillity in his countenance, as before Captain Landais had passed. I did not see Captain Landais spit in Captain Jones's face, or make any attempt towards it; and I had no little conception of such an action having taken place, that, when Captain Landais said, "I spit in his face," I conceived in my own mind, that he alluded to some former occasion. It is true I was not looking at either of the gentlemen's faces at the instant Captain Landais was passing by; I had happened to have turned my eyes towards the alley, and they were somewhat fixed on the ground, but still, I think, if the action had happened, I should have heard that particular noise commonly occasioned by the act of spitting with any degree of force. I have only further to observe, that I saw nothing on Capt. Jones's face, nor did I see him wipe it while we stood together.
(Signed) JAMES MILLIGAN. My respect for the public, has induced me to establish the falsity of the report of Peter Landais, by the above relation of Mr. Milligan, the only evidence in question. The original is in my hands. Having discharged that duty, I shall not condescend to reply to any thing that may be farther said or published by a person of his known character.
PAUL JONES. * We are authorized to inform the public, that the Certificates above-mentioned have never been published; but will, as soon as translated (some being originally in the French language) appear in our paper.
For the Daily Advertiser.
Mr. CHILDS, Please to insert the following Remarks upon the incorruptible PUBLIC PURE HACKER, HEWER and SQUEEZER.
SHOULD a person, who preferred living by his wits to living by labor, venture to disregard the good old maxim, which says, "The Shoemaker should not quit his Last;" and, by that kind of address ad decent assurance, which some might call cunning and effrontery, obtain a good pet, the world might admire at his ingenuity.
Should such a person, and undertake to cobble the State--should he string together, as party-colored and chequered as wampum, a number of common-place quotations from authors of note, on Power, and the People, and Liberty, and Government, and the PUBLIC MONEY, which, dealing out at random, he vainly imagined constituted him a Man of Science, and Statesman; the literary coxcomb, and pedantic ignoramus, might ride his hobby-horse until he broke his neck with downright vain-glory; and mistake the title of contempt for the smiles of public applause.
Should such a genius (unluckily for him) be placed in a respectable public assembly, and there display his mule-headed ignorance and ill-timed obstinacy, by a fruitless and singular opposition to its general voice, on a matter of great public moment; he would as naturally become the subject of merriment to its members, as of discredit to those he was sent to represent. But should this self-created profound Politician, and immaculate Citizen, after long and loud professions of his INCORRUPTIBLE PATRIOTISM, his great attachment to the liberties of THE PEOPLE, and the ECONOMY OF THEIR FINANCES, fabricate an enormous account; and, on the most delusive principles of calculation, attempt to extort from THE PEOPLE thirty-fold more than his stipulated allowance--should he, with an unparalleled effrontery, insult a whole empire, and, by his conduct, deny that there was either truth or justice in the general cry, of public grievances to be redressed and evils to be removed--should this pretended advocate for THE PEOPLE, with the spirit of an arbitrary Bathurst, and a despotic Tyrant, do his utmost to prevent THE PEOPLE even from deliberating upon a business of the last moment to them--upon the result of the collected wisdom of their SPECIAL Delegates from all the States (except the infamous ONE)--upon the work of long and careful investigation, and agreed to with singular unanimity--I say, should such an arbitrary and avaricious being oppose himself even to THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT OF DELIBERATION, on the present momentous occasion, because it did not suit HIS OWN private, narrow, selfish views--his name ought to be gibbeted with infamy throughout America, as an IMPOSTOR; who, with the spirit of a Tyrant, profanes with his blistered tongue the sacred word Liberty; and, with loud professions of incorruptible integrity, has exhibited himself to the world as notoriously enflamed with the rapacious spirit of an UNPAINCIPLED PUBLIC PECULATOR.
An Enemy to Impostors.
The FEDERALIST, No. II.
TO the People of the State of New-York. WHEN the people of America reflect that they are now called upon to decide a question, which, in its consequences, must prove one of the most important that ever engaged their attention, the propriety of their taking a very comprehensive, as well as a very serious view of it, will be evident.
Nothing is more certain than the indispensable necessity of Government, and it is equally undeniable, that whenever and however it is instituted, the people must cede to it some of their natural rights, in order to vest it with requisite powers. It is well worthy of consideration therefore, whether it would conduce more to the interest of the people of America, that they should, to all general purposes, be one nation, under one federal Government, or that they should divide themselves into separate confederacies, and give to the head of each, the same kind of powers which they are advised to place in one national Government.
It has until lately been a received and uncontradicted opinion, that the prosperity of the people of America depended on their continuing firmly united, and the wishes, prayers, and efforts of our best and wisest Citizens have been constantly directed to that object. But politicians now appear, who insist that this opinion is erroneous, and that instead of looking for safety and happiness in Union, we ought to seek it in a division of the States into distinct confederacies or sovereignties. However extraordinary this new doctrine may appear, it nevertheless has its advocates; and certain characters who were much opposed to it formerly, are at present of the number. Whatever may be the arguments or inducements, which have wrought this change in the sentiments and declarations of these Gentlemen, it certainly would not be wise in the people at large to adopt these new
political tenets without being fully convinced that they are founded in truth and sound policy.
It has often given me pleasure to observe, that Independent America was not composed of detached and distant territories, but that one connected, fertile, wide spreading country was the portion of our western sons of liberty. Providence has in a particular manner blessed it with a variety of soils and productions, and watered it with innumerable streams, for the delight and accommodation of its inhabitants--A succession of navigable waters forms a kind of chain round its borders, as if to bind it together, while the most noble rivers in the world, running at convenient distances, present them with highways for the easy communication of friendly aids, and the mutual transportation and exchange of their various commodities.
With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice, that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country, to one united people; a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established their general Liberty and Independence.
This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous and alien sovereignties.
Similar sentiments have hitherto prevailed among all orders and denominations of men among us--To all general purposes we have uniformly been one people--each individual citizen every where enjoying the same national rights, privileges, and protection--As a nation we have made peace and war--As a nation we have vanquished our common enemies--as a nation we have formed alliances and made treaties, and entered into various compact and conventions with foreign States.
A strong sense of the value and blessings of Union induced the people, at a very early period, to institute a Federal Government to preserve and perpetuate it. They formed it almost as soon as they had a political existence; nay at a time, when their habitations were in flames, when many of their Citizens were bleeding, and when the progress of hostility and desolation left little room for those calm and mature enquiries and reflections, which must ever precede the formation of a wise and well balanced government for a free people. It is not to be wondered at that a Government instituted in times so inauspicious, should on experiment be found greatly deficient and inadequate to the purpose it was intended to answer.
This intelligent people perceived and regretted these defects. Still continuing no less attached to union, than enamoured of liberty, they observed the danger, which immediately threatened the former and more remotely the latter; and being persuaded that ample security for both, could only be found in a national Government more wisely framed, they, as with one voice, convened the late Convention at Philadelphia, to take that important subject under consideration.
This Convention, composed of men who possessed the confidence of the people, and many of whom had become highly distinguished by their patriotism, virtue and wisdom, in times which tried the minds and hearts of men, undertook the arduous task. In the mild season of peace, with minds unoccupied by other subjects, they passed many months in cool, uninterrupted and daily consultations; and finally, without having been awed by power, or influenced by any passions except love for their country, they presented and recommended to the people the plan produced by their joint and very unanimous counsels.
Admit, for so is the fact, that this plan is only recommended, not imposed, yet let it be remembered, that it is neither recommended to blind approbation, nor to blind reprobation; but to that sedate and candid consideration which the magnitude and importance of the subject demands, and which it certainly ought to receive. but (as was remarked in the foregoing number of this paper) it is more to be wished than expected that it may be so considered and examined: experience, on a former occasion, teaches us not to be too sanguine in such hopes. It is not yet forgotten, that well-grounded apprehensions of imminent danger induced the people of America to form the memorable Congress of 1774. That Body recommended certain measures to their Constituents, and the event proved their wisdom; yet it is fresh in our memories how soon the press began to teem with pamphlets and weekly papers against those very measures. Not only many of the Officers of Government, who obeyed the dictates of personal interest, but others, from a mistaken estimate of consequences, or the undue influence of former attachments, or whose ambition aimed
at objects which did not correspond with the public good, were indefatigable in their endeavors to persuade the people to reject the advice of that Patriotic Congress--many indeed were deceived and deluded, but the great majority of the people reasoned and decided judiciously; and happy they are in reflecting that they did so.
They considered that the Congress was composed of many wise and experienced men--That being convened from different parts of the country, they brought with them and communicated to each other a variety of useful information--That in the course of the time they passed together in enquiring into and discussing the true interests of their country, they must have acquired very accurate knowledge on that head--That they were individually interested in the public liberty and prosperity, and therefore that it was not less their inclination, than their duty, to recommend only such measures, as after the most mature deliberation they really thought prudent and advisable.
These and similar considerations then induced the people to rely greatly on the judgment and integrity of the Congress; and they took their advice, notwithstanding the various arts and endeavors used to deter and dissuade them from it. But if the people at large had reason to confide in the men of that Congress, few of whom had been fully tried or generally known, still greater reason have they now to respect the judgment and advice of the Convention, for it is well known that some of the most distinguished members of that Congress, who have been since tried and justly approved for patriotism and abilities, and who have grown old in acquiring political information, were also members of this Convention and carried into it their accumulated knowledge and experience.
It is worthy of remark that not only the first, but every succeeding Congress, as well as the late Convention, have invariably joined with the people in thinking that the prosperity of America depended on its Union. To preserve and perpetuate it, was the great object of the people in forming that Convention, and it is also the great object of the plan which the Convention has advised them to adopt.
With what propriety therefore, or for what good purposes are attempts at this particular period made by some men, to depreciate the importance of the Union--or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one? I am persuaded in my own mind, that the people have always thought right on this subject, and that their universal and uniform attachment to the cause of the Union, rests on great and weighty reasons which I shall endeavor to develop and explain in some ensuing papers. They who promote the idea of substituting a number of distinct confederacies in the room of the plan of the Convention, seem clearly to foresee that the rejection of it would put the continuance of the Union in the utmost jeopardy. That certainly would be the case, and I sincerely wish that it may be as clearly foreseen by every good Citizen, that whenever the dissolution of the Union arrives, America will have reason to exclaim in the words of the Poet, "FAREWELL, A LONG FAREWELL, TO ALL MY GREATNESS!"

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the complete and best manner.
Casings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the Scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Casings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which renders the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shutts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign casings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye-pans, skillets, griddles, porrah kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cafes, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flitting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves nearly decorated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire can roast and boil the meat, bake the bread; mill-roads and quagons, law-mill crank, culminating plates for making peashellers, cast iron screws for tallow and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, force-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred-weighters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15.
