PASTE-BOARD Sold by the Printers.

THE female sex, from the delicacy of their nature, and the subordinate rank they sustain with respect to man, are justly entitled to his patronage and protection. They were formed for a social intercourse with our sex; not merely for the propagation of the species, as some have ungenerously remarked; but to soften the rugged passions of man, to alleviate his cares, and to sweeten the delights of domestic life.
The softness of disposition, the delicacy of sentiment and expression, the sprightliness of imagination, peculiarly characteristic of the fair, when joined with the coarser features of the male sex, form a complete and happy union. Were these pleasing qualities of the fair properly cultivated, and their minds early enriched with useful observations, their influence would be unbounded. It is, perhaps, from this consideration, that so little attention has been paid to their education. Happy for them, had the means of education been lodged in more liberal hands, where jealousy and prejudice could not have interfered.
Nothing is now thought requisite to accomplish a young lady of rank, but a knowledge of music and dancing, with a few external graces. The nobler faculties of the mind are left to shift for themselves, or derive their improvement from novels and romances. Among the lower ranks, where fortune has been less liberal, the female mind is totally neglected—not even the rudiments of any science are taught them. The loom or the distaff measure the sphere of their observation. Most of them, like rich gardens, left without culture, produce little more than the spontaneous growth of nature. What can be the cause of such un pardonable neglect? Avarice is a powerful passion, and often proves a barrier to the noblest acquisitions.—Poverty may plead as an apology for some; but would the artist grudge the scanty cost of shaping the diamond to give it a ten fold beauty?
In the early part of life, their assistance in domestic affairs is trifling. At this period, the mind is in a fickle state; perpetually shifting from object to object in quest of employment. Nothing, but care and attention, with a small expence, is now requisite to form the agreeable companion, the useful friend. The quickness of their apprehension would supercede the necessity of a long and an expensive course of education. It is not expected, that they dive into the depths of metaphysics, philosophy, or any of the abstruse sciences. These are reserved for the lucubrations of the more hardy sex—neither do politics fall within their sphere. The political helm is properly the prerogative of man. Formed with a coarser set of passions, intrepidity of mind, and depth of penetration have declined him to scenes of enterprise and danger. In intervals of respite from toil, or intense application to interesting and important concerns, his mind is agreeably regaled in the society of the fair. By them our rusticity is wiped off, the roughness of our nature softened, and sentiments of friendship and humanity excited. Were man excluded social intercourse with the fair, he would, of all animals, be the most ferocious and vindictive. That mildness and philanthropy, which constitute the fairest and noblest part of his character, would then be unknown.
It is, perhaps, a just observation, that the manners of a nation may be discovered, from the general appearance of their women. Among rude savages women are treated like slaves. Confining to the most servile employment, they lose that sprightliness and dignity which are original features in the character of the sex. The men, like brutes, are intemperate, cruel and revengeful. So totally destitute of refinement, or even common civility, that they scarcely deserve to be enrolled on the list of humanity.
France exhibits an appearance quite the reverse. The inhabitants of this country are no less remarkable for their attention to the fair sex, than they are for their humanity and politeness. Among eastern nations, where jealousy has secluded the most valuable part of the sex in seraglios and other places of confinement, the people are notorious for their pride, indolence, and cruelty. Nor are the nunnery in many parts of Europe, erected on the basis of superstition and ignorance, less injurious to refinement.—The conclusion from these premises is obvious.—No attention ought to be deemed unnecessary in cultivating the minds, and forming the manners of those, to whom we are indebted for refinement, domestic bliss, and national character.
Messrs. LOUDON,
Having in your paper No. 729, inserted a petition presented to the Hon. the Corporation of this city, by Daniel Niven and others, you are requested to insert the report of the Committee, to whom said petition was referred, together with the subsequent remarks.
A CITIZEN.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonality of the City of New-York, convened in Common Council.
WE the subscribers, to whom was referred a petition lately presented to this Board, by Daniel Niven and others, setting forth, That some buildings are now erecting at the lower end of Cortlandt-street, in the West ward of this city, by which the street or passage along the south side of the slip there, is greatly contracted, and rendered very inconvenient to passengers in crossing the North river; and that the said obstructions are on public property: Do report, that we have enquired into the allegations and complaint of the said petition—and find, that in the year 1701, a grant was made by the Corporation of the city of New-York, to Peter Jansen Mesier, whereby they released and conveyed to him, his heirs and assigns, a certain piece or parcel of ground, in the said West ward, from high to low water mark, containing along the strand at high-water mark, and in the rear at low-water mark, 18 rods, 2 feet and 8 inches, and in depth on the south and north sides thereof from high to low-water mark, 93 feet or thereabouts.
That we also find, that in the year 1760, a grant was made by the said Corporation of a water lot to
Abraham Mesier, the same lying in front of part of the said ground conveyed as aforesaid to the said Peter Jansen Mesier, and containing seventy-four feet and an half in breadth, and in length from low water mark into Hudson's river, 200 feet, the said Abraham Mesier to build a wharf, street or pier, of 18 feet English measure in breadth, to front a certain street or public slip there to be made, leading from Cortlandt-street to Hudson's river.
That we further find, that the said Cortlandt-street was originally forty feet in breadth, but that the owners of the ground there, have given up five feet on the north and south sides thereof, to make the street fifty feet.
That we have reason to believe, that the complaint in that petition points at a dwelling house now building by Abraham Buffing, on the south side of the said Cortlandt-street.
That if the said complaint respects the said dwelling-house, as we believe it doth, the same appears to us to be ill founded, because we are of opinion that the said house is not an encroachment on the public property, but that the same is built on part of the ground conveyed as aforesaid, to the said Peter Jansen Mesier, and not on ground comprehended within the grant to the said Abraham Mesier, as the petitioners seem to believe, from their referring this Board to the aforesaid grant to him.
That in order to be ascertained of the said facts, we have made due enquiry, and from the best information we could collect, and other evidence which the view of the place afforded us, we have not any doubt, that the said Abraham Buffing had an indisputable right to place and erect his said house in the manner he hath done, the same being on his own soil, and built according to the direction of John Macomb, one of the city surveyors, on a parallel line with the other houses on the south side of the said street.
That we are of opinion, in case the said house was actually built on ground reserved to this Corporation in the grant to the said Abraham Mesier, it could not have been proper to have placed it out of the range of the said street, because the same would necessarily occasion a break in the street, and spoil the uniformity and beauty thereof.
That we are of this opinion, because we think that the said street of the breadth it now is, is sufficiently wide to answer all the purposes of a public street, taking even into consideration its connection with a public ferry.
Upon the whole, this Committee are of opinion, that the petitioners (whatever commendation they may deserve for their extraordinary vigilance, zeal and attention to the public interest) are mistaken as to the matters suggested in the said petition, and that no such encroachments as yet have been made on the property of the public, as are set forth in their said petition.
William W. Gilbert, Jeremiah Wool, Cornelius C. Roosevelt, Tobias Van Zandt.
The above report was unanimously approved of in Common Council. September 22, 1787.
To Messrs. William W. Gilbert, Jeremiah Wool, Cornelius C. Roosevelt, and Tobias Van Zandt, Members of the Corporation of the city of New-York.
Gentlemen,
HAVING seen, in Mr. Childs's paper of the 26th ult. a petition presented to the Corporation by Daniel Niven and others, and your report made to the Corporation thereon, I thought it my duty, as a fellow-citizen, to enquire into the subject matter of said report; especially as you have asserted the petitioners have been mistaken, and upon that ground founded your rejection of their petition. It appears that you have acted, on that business, more like attorneys for the persons, whose buildings were complained of in said petition, than judges. 'Tis true, as you report, that you enquired into the allegations and complaint of said petitioners, but of whom did you enquire? No doubt you have examined the owners of said buildings, and heard their councils; but did you enquire of any of the petitioners, or hear their evidences, although the propriety of this was suggested to some of your members. Your judgment has been founded on ex parte evidence, while the petitioners were ready to produce disinterested evidences of unquestionable veracity, to prove the truth of the facts set forth in their petition. I will beg leave, gentlemen, to ask, whether you have had an accurate survey of Cortlandt-street to high water mark? If so, you would have found high water mark about 20 feet below the house now occupied by Mr. Ezekiel Crane, and from thence, proceeding 93 feet on the range with the said street, gives the grant which you mention, made to Peter Jansen Mesier, in the year 1701, in which grant you could find recorded a street 40 feet wide, there to be left along Hudson's-river forever. The Corporation could not then grant more than from high to low water mark, according to their charter.
On a map made of these land and water lots, you could also find the house now building by Abraham Buffing, to be on the said grant made to Abraham Mesier in 1760, and not on Peter Jansen Mesier's grant, as you affirm; and you know there is a reserve of 18 feet for a public street along the slip, in the grant to Abraham Mesier; Abraham Buffing & Abraham Vangelder's houses being erected on the ground so reserved, must be an encroachment on the public. The inhabitants of Cortlandt-street gave 5 feet of the front of each of their lots to widen the said street, some of them gave their land under great disadvantages, and the buildings on the north side of said slip were placed by authority 18 feet off the slip, back from the range of said street; and there must be no break on the street left on the other side said slip by authority: now here is a break of 18 feet on the one side by the same authority, for you positively tell us a break on the other side said slip would spoil the beauty and uniformity thereof.
Gentlemen,
On this mode of reasoning I honor your public characters too much to make any remarks.
To conclude for the present, it is expected that the Hon. Corporation will resume the said petition, and recommit it, thereby to give the said petitioners a fair opportunity of being heard in support of the allegations contained in the said petition.
A CITIZEN.

FOREIGN ADVICES.
DUBLIN, July 14.
Two vessels from the West-Indies are at this time in our river, and four more are expected from that part of the world; in short there are actually more ships in Dublin port at this moment, from foreign and remote countries, than ever was at one time. A clear demonstration that our trade is considerably encreased.
There is a sort of club at a place south of the vicinity of the metropolis, who have made it a practice to discharge pistols at a card, marked only with the ace of any colour, to keep the hand in practice for dispatching one time or other their man. One day in the course of last week, one of these bloods, seeing one of his comrades often five very wide of his mark, offered to stand a shot for a wager of ten guineas, if his friend doubled his distance, which might have made about sixteen paces. The wager was closed, and the iron-headed gentleman who made the bet, took his station, while his friend traversed the ground and discharged his pistol. The joke was concluded with the lodgment of a ball in the wager's right thigh. The wager was acknowledged to have been won; but though it was mere matter of fun, there was no great laughing on the occasion, as the genius who shot the pepper was carried to his father's house, in Aungier-street, rather in a dangerous situation.
The utmost that France engaged to do for Holland, by their last treaty, was to furnish 12,000 troops, 11 ships of the line, and six frigates.
LONDON.
A gentleman on his travels writes thus from Naples to his friend in London:—I never had a good opinion of the English mode of boxing till I came to Italy, but I now find it is a laudable and innocent fashion; for men must have some kind of vent for their indignation, some salve for their honor, and it is happy when the worst thing a man does in his wrath is giving a slap on the face, or a punch, or a punch in the stomach, to the offending party. Here angry men immediately have recourse to the knife, and stab in an instant. It is amazing how many assassinations there are in Italy, and how little they are noticed, and almost all of them the effect of quarrels. Now none of those assassinations would take place, were the good English mode of boxing introduced amongst them. The late Mons. de Voltaire vindicated the English nation in this particular, and has often declared that they shewed a species of honor not known in any other part of the world; for says this eminent French writer, if two fellows meet in the streets of London, and in consequence of a quarrel one throws the other down, will not the conqueror suffer him to rise, and come to a second attack, scoring to take any bane advantage of him? And if any unfair cruelty was attempted by a successful adversary, the spectators would fly to the relief of the distressed combatant, and place him on his legs again.
Dr. Falconer says that tea is very pernicious to the constitution. The Doctor is right for it has proved highly so to the Constitution of England, and seems now to be making as great depredations on other countries as it has done on this. The pernicious effects of that weed is now operating in a violent degree in the Netherlands and in Holland, and though they have endeavoured to mitigate its baneful influence, by mixing a little Orange Juice with it, it is doubtful whether that may be capable of correcting its corroding qualities. The tea-kettles which boiled over on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, seems to have scalded the nations on this side.
The following is handed to us as a copy of a letter from a dress agent in town to his employer in the country, but we cannot absolutely vouch for its authenticity, we only know that 'such things are.'
Madam,
Perbearer you will receive your rump altered according to desire, except the hip , which I could not separate further from the other without a piece between , which would have quite altered the shape. I called upon Mr. —, concerning your teeth , which are not yet completed, but bids me assure you that your present set will do for a considerable time, barring accidents. Your shoulder shall be altered as you desire, and I would have sent the Paris blush , but it is not yet arrived. I shall be proud to receive your commands, and am Madam, &c. Your's, &c.
The Governor of the Cape of Good Hope is clearly in the interest of the States of Holland, otherwise he would not (according to accounts brought by the last East-India ship) treat the English with such indignity as to order them to depart in 48 hours after landing.
The ladies are again falling into the shapes which Nature gave them; a proof that the fashionable taste of France is transitory, but that the fashion of nature is permanent and always beautiful. Broad hoops, high heads, low heads, have all had their day, but the genuine figure is now restored, and while it is retained, women will continue objects of admiration.
The dispatches sent off yesterday to Paris contain Mr. Eden's full powers as ambassador and minister plenipotentiary to the Catholic King, for whose court he is to set off speedily.
On Thursday a messenger extraordinary arrived at the secretary of State's office, from Sir James Harris at the Hague, whose dispatches contain the following particulars: The night on which the messenger set off, a large body of the French party were before the gates, and insisted upon entrance into the Hague, on which a council was summoned (and was sitting when the messenger set off) to determine what was best to be done.
The letters by last night's mail mention that the States of Holland and West Friesland, which were adjourned for several days, were hastily assembled by summons on the 18th instant, but that the purport of their meeting had not transpired. It was conjectured to be occasioned by the circumstance of a number of French engineers being stopped and prevented from entering the provinces by orders of the States General.
Extract of a letter from Paris, August 20.
"The politicians all agree, that France, as a country, has not been in so bad a situation as at present, this last century. Her own subjects mutinying—her finances deranged in every quarter—all her schemes discovered—and her plans of fermenting divisions, even in the bosom of her allies traced back, and recoiling with double force upon herself."
August 17—24.
The province of Holland has had the modality to propose to the Court of France, that it should guarantee its immediate establishment of a distinct unconnected government, and the secure possession of the Dutch settlements in the East and West-Indies. This would instantly involve Europe in war, particularly the rival powers of France and England.—But the French cabinet will hardly attend to so extravagant a proposal.
By a letter from the north of Ireland, it appears that the late thunder, lightning and hail, have done much mischief there. The Giant's Causeway, that stupendous and wonderful work of nature, has been split in one part of the rock upwards of twenty yards; and at Glenarm, and seat of Earl Antrim, several deer were killed in the park, and one cow had half her scull entirely and cleanly separated from the other part by lightning. There was a considerable commotion in the sea at Larne, the waves rose mountains high, and the waters shook as if there had been an earthquake.
In consequence of the approaching coalition of cabinets, for the arrangement of the Dutch affairs, the preparations at Brest have been stopped. One English merchant only had four thousand pounds of stores belpoke and delivered, which it is supposed will be returned upon his hands.
Extract of a letter from Bengal.
Sharokh Mirza, the son of the famous conqueror, Nadir Shah, who in the beginning of this century, extended his conquest to the centre of Hindostan, was succeeded by his eldest son, who now sits on the Musnud; and who, in conformity to the inhuman policy which prevails in the East, upon his accession to the throne, confined his youngest brother in the city of Mufhad al Mucudus. The young Prince has, however, found means to escape from his confinement; and resorting to Cabul, has applied for a reinforcement of troops, and a supply of money from Timur, who has promised to supply him with both, in a manner sufficiently ample for him to take the field against his brother.
The changes we meet with every day are unaccountable; but fancy, fickle fancy, must prevail. It is but of yesterday that the ladies flourished away with a shew of large possessions in tail ; but now, by some strange kind of caprice, they have exchanged that sort of tenure for one in capite : We wish the change were to better, but unluckily the bonnet now deforms them more,
Than the rump-cushion did before.
It was generally thought that there would be an engagement between the people of the Hague and the besiegers, in consequence of which Sir James Harris has sent home all his private papers; nor is it very unlikely, but he may follow them, until the disturbances are quieted.
A great commercial (and noble) house at Rennes in Bretagne, which had large concerns with America, is said to have stopped!—The merchants of Bretagne, thought of carrying on a most extensive and flourishing trade with the American States, but they can neither give the credit nor the goods which England can.—Several commercial houses in Bretagne are noble , for even a retail trade does not derogate from nobility, but nobility sleeps while commerce is awake; that is, the mechanical nobility relinquish their titles, and reassume them, on leaving off business. By two arrests of Louis XIV. the Nobility of France are allowed to trade both by sea and land.
UNITED STATES.
PHILADELPHIA, October 17.
Letters are received by the last post from Boston, which say, that Mr. Gerry, a member of the late Federal Convention, is not only censured by the public in general, but by his best friends, for not signing the Constitution proposed by that august body.
We hear from Virginia, that on the arrival of Mr. Mason (one of their delegates in Convention) at Alexandria, he was waited on by the Mayor and Corporation of that town, who told him, they were not come to return him their thanks for his conduct in refusing to sign the Federal Constitution; but to express their abhorrence to it, and to advise him to withdraw from that town within an hour, for they could not answer for his personal safety, from an enraged populace, should he exceed that time.
New-York, October 23.
By the brig Polly and Nancy, lately arrived at Boston, we learn, that through the mediation of France and England, the commotions in Holland are nearly come to a close, and that a civil war, between the contending parties in the country, in all probability is not likely to take place, owing to the general peaceable disposition of most of the European powers. France and England, whom, it seems, hold the balance between them, not finding it to their interest to engage in a quarrel, have mutually exerted their mediating faculties to effect a compromise between the Stadtholder and the Patriots, each of whom, it is said, have been so enraged, that the greatest enormities have been committed by their adherents.
Sunday the 14th inst. Capt. Robb, in a ship from Liverpool, arrived in Boston.
A dreadful murder was committed some time since in the south of France, on the body of the venerable Marquis d'Allanville, by a man servant who had lived with him upwards of 26 years. Avarice prompted the wretch to the commission of the horrid deed, and the manner in which he did it is rather extraordinary. It was the custom of this old nobleman to retire to bed every evening at nine o'clock, and on the morning of the day in which the murder was committed he had sold an estate, and had the money in his bed chamber. The wretch went to the bed side, and asked his master if he had said his prayers? To which he replied, yes, and with great affection added, and I did not forget you, Ferdinand, in my prayers. This had such an effect on the fellow, that he laid aside his intention, and had recourse to brandy, as a stimulus to harden him; on being intoxicated, he again went to the bed side, and with a razor cut off the Marquis's head; but such was his agitation when he recovered his senses, that he voluntarily confessed the horrid deed, and gave himself up to justice.
Last Wednesday the General Court of Massachusetts, convened in the town of Boston, agreeably to adjournment.
We hear from Durham that the mills belonging to

his Excellency John Sullivan, Esq. were lately set on fire, supposed by some incendiaries, and entirely consumed.
The Worcester Magazine mentions, that in the county of Berkshire in Massachusetts, the Supreme Judicial Court had passed sentence of death on Wm. Manning, for treason. This Manning appears to be one of the persons excepted by the Legislature of that State in the act of indemnity of last June. He was an active officer under Perez Hamlin, who made a descent on the town of Stockbridge on the night of the 26th of February last, with about 80 or 100 men, and plundered and captivated many of its respectable inhabitants, and was afterwards defeated in the memorable action of Sheffield. Hamlin yet remains in such a languishing situation of the wounds he then received, as to be unable to take his trial for the crime of treason of which he stands charged.
Numerous and very respectable meetings of the freeholders of Fairfax county, and the town of Alexandria, in Virginia, have unanimously approved of the proposed Federal Constitution, and instructed their Delegates to the General Assembly, to use their utmost power and abilities to obtain a recommendation from the Honorable Body, in the next session, to the freeholders of the State at large, for the holding a Convention, as speedily as possible, for the adoption of the aforesaid constitution.
A late New-Port Newspaper mentions that the following early remedy against Apoplexies and Palsies, had been found salutary in many of the above-mentioned maladies, lately in England. "When any person is struck with either of those disorders, the putting of some salt in their mouths will bring them to their senses. It has been tried upon a man that dropped down in the street, and seemed quite dead but in five minutes after the salt was put in his mouth, he moved his arm, and was raised up, and by giving him some cordial drink, in half an hour after, the man walked home without any assistance."
A writer in a late Philadelphia newspaper, under the signature of the CENTINEL, asserts, that "the proposed plan of Government has none of the essential requisites of a free government; that it is neither founded on those balancing, restraining powers, recommended by Mr. Adams, and attempted in the British Constitution, or possessed of that responsibility to its constituents, which, in his opinion, is the only effectual security for the liberties and happiness of the people; but on the contrary, that it is the most daring attempt to establish a despotic aristocracy among freemen, that the world has ever witnessed."

MR.

The above tract is divided in lots of two hundred acres each, one of which is under lease, and many of the others are under considerable improvement, the particulars of which will be made known at the time of sale.—At the same time will be sold, three quarters of one quarter of an undivided patent of four thousand acres of land, granted to Alexander Colden, William Willet, Stephen Delancey, and Christopher Blundell, each one quarter. This patent lies on both sides of the Mohawk-River, above Burnetsfield, very valuable land, and worthy the attention of gentlemen who would wish to erect mills, &c.

WANTED by the Subscribers a quantity of Hogs Bristles, for which two shillings per pound will be given, provided they are dressed clean; those in the rough, one shilling and three pence per do. the subscribers having erected a BRUSH MANUFACTORY, at No. 43, Peck-slip, where they propose carrying on the brush-making business, in all its various branches. Store-keepers and others may be furnished on as low terms as any imported, to which they hope the preference will be given them, as the work is equally good, if not better.

The farmers, by being careful in the season of killing, may save sufficient to supply them in this business. Country store-keepers would be the most proper persons to collect them.
Those who will please to undertake the collecting them, will meet with a ready sale, and be a means of promoting a very useful branch of business which may be carried on in this State, and put a stop to the importing that commodity. The least favor will be gratefully acknowledged by

New-York Air Furnace.
PETER T. CURTENIUS, & 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 completest and best manner.
Castings 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 wire 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 castings are made out of the first melting of the crude ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spungy, and often full of cold shuts: The difference, in short, is nearly the same as that 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 (and will be sold) cheaper than the imported ware, all foreign castings being subject to a duty of six per cent. on importation.
The WARE, manufactured at this FURNACE, consists of the following Articles, viz.
  POTS and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons,  carvings,    Tea kettles,  Chimney-backs,    Pye pans,  Ships caudles of the new construction, with bake ovens in them,    Skillets,  which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread,    Griddles,  Mill rounds and    Pot-ash kettles and  Gudgoons,    Coolers,  Saw-mill cranks,    Whaling kettles,  Calceining plates for    Boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works,  making pearl-ashes,    Stoves for sugar-bakers,  Craft iron screws for fulling and paper-mills,    Mill-cafes,  Fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted,    Cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries,  Sash weights,    Rollers and shears for flitting-mills,  Forge-hammers and    Hearth and jamb plates,  Anvils,    cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent;  Plow-plates,    Clofe stoves for workshops,  Half hundreds,    Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work,  Quarters,    Bathstove-grates elegantly ornamented with  Fourteen and seven pound weights,    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.
