NEW-YORK, August 25.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled,
WEDNESDAY, August 20, 1788.
THE Committee, consisting of Mr. Clark, Mr. Dane, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Bingham, and Mr. Baldwin, to whom was referred the report of the board of treasury respecting a requisition for the year 1788, having reported, "That in order to ascertain whether any or what sums in specie it may be necessary to require of the states the present year, they have taken a general view of the expenditures of every kind of the United States for several years past, and including an estimate for the present year, and have compared those expenditures with the provisions that have been made by Congress for discharging specie demands upon the union during the same period: that on ascertaining the amount of the said expenditures from January 1, 1784, to January 1, 1788, the amount of the interest which accrued on the foreign debt previous to the year 1784, and the amount of the sums paid for services performed in the years 1782 and 1783, out of the requisition of 1784, they find that those expenditures, and the said interest and services of 1782 and 1783, and estimate, amount to the sums following, viz:
   Dols. Dols.     Interest accrued on the Foreign Debt prior to 1784, 265,548   Foreign Interest which became due 1784, 1785, 1786, and 1787, 1,707,571. 70   Foreign Interest which becomes due in 1788, 468,981. 75   Whole amount of Foreign Interest to 1788, inclusive, 2,442,101. 55   Parts of the PRINCIPAL of the FOREIGN DEBT due.   Of the French Debt in 1787, 462,962. 82   Ditto, ditto, 1788, 462,962. 82   Instalments of the Foreign Debt, 925,925. 74   Interest and parts of the principal of the Foreign Debt which become due from the contracting thereof, to 1788 inclusive, 3,368,027. 49   Amount of payments for the said services performed in 1782, and 1783, 230,680. 33   Actual expenditures in the years 1784, 1785, 1786, and 1787, in the Civil, Military, Indian, Contingent, Invalid and Geographer's departments, 2,111,782. 34   Estimate for the year 1788, 326,427   Total amount, 6,036,917. 16   Having ascertained the expenditures aforesaid, the committee have found it necessary to enquire what parts of them have been actually paid, and they find these amount to 3,168,442. 46   And that the parts of the expenditures aforesaid, remaining unpaid, are as follows:   Foreign Interest to the year 1788, inclusive, 1,521,116. 33   The principal aforesaid of the Foreign Debt, becoming due in 1787, and 1788, 925,925. 74   Arrearages of expenditures in the years 1784, 1785, 1786, and 1787, in the departments aforesaid, 181,005. 43   Parts of the estimate of the present year unpaid, 240,427 2,868,474. 60  
The committee having ascertained the extent of the public expenditures and the amount of the unsatisfied demands which have heretofore arisen, and which arise the present year, against the union as aforesaid, proceeded to examine the extent of the provisions already made by Congress, and the parts thereof which may be applied to discharge the unsatisfied demands aforesaid, and they find that the
   DOLLARS.     Specie requisitions made since January 1, 1784, amount to 5,173,073. 22   That the Foreign Loans contracted since January 1, 1784, amount to 1,600,000   Whole amount of provisions, 6,773,073. 22   That of the said requisitions there is now due from the states, making a reasonable allowance for what they may have paid to Invalids, sums amounting to 3,292,594. 7   Which sums may be applied to pay the unsatisfied demands before stated.   That though a considerable part of the loans before mentioned was applied to discharge debts of the late war, and 338,640 dollars thereof must be reserved for paying interest on the Dutch loans which will become due in the years 1789 and 1790, yet 71,093 dollars, the proceeds of the said loans, may be applied to pay the unsatisfied demands above stated; hence the provisions already made and unapplied are,   The arrearages of specie requisitions, amounting to 3,292,594. 7   Parts of the loans made in Holland, amounting to 71,093   Proceeds of Jones's captures, comprehended in the expenditures, &c. 20,772. 55   3,384,459. 62  
By this statement it appears that there is a surplus provision already made beyond the demands in specie, of the year 1788, and of the preceding years, of 854,625. 2 dollars, including the provision for the Dutch Interest in 1789 and 1790; so that it will not be necessary to require any specie of the states the present year, beyond the arrearages of the past requisitions. As the past requisitions were calculated to the expenditures of the years in which they were made, and the Invalid pensions and some other expenses were not included in the estimates, and as no requisition for specie was made last year, and none by the above statement appears to be necessary this, it may be proper to shew briefly how this happens.
As the Dutch Interest which will become due in the years 1789 and 1790, is already provided for by the late Dutch loans, and as the whole Foreign Interest, and parts of the principal of the foreign debt which become due the present year are already provided for, and as the respective states owe large arrearages of requisitions, and have large internal demands upon them as individual states to satisfy, and their means of paying them must soon be diminished considerably, the committee are of opinion, that it is not advisable to require the respective states to make provision for paying the Interest, and such parts of the Principal of the Foreign Debt, as will not become due till some time in the year 1789: In this case, the specie demands upon the United States for the present and preceding years, amount to 2,868,474. 60 to be discharged by surplus provisions of Foreign Loans, and preceding requisitions, which, as before stated, amount to 3,363,687. 7.
Not to particularize several instances in which the estimates have in no great degree exceeded the actual expenditures, the surplus provisions will be principally found under the few following heads: In the requisition for the year 1784, 1,000,000 of dollars were provided for the services of 1782 and 1783—769,320 dollars of which were not applied to those objects; in the same requisition, 161,461. 57 dollars were required and not appropriated, and in the requisition of 1786, there was a surplus called for by mistake of 333,111, and a large surplus has arisen in the past requisitions by applying a considerable part of the late Dutch loans to paying foreign interests, &c. to pay which, appropriations in those requisitions had been made—past appropriations have also been eased considerably by other means. It is to be observed that the loans made by the United States in Holland, in the years 1787 and 1788, a-
made in the past requisitions of Congress for sinking the principal of the foreign debt, 925,925. 74 dollars, so that when the states shall seasonably pay up the arrears of past requisitions, Congress will be enabled to lessen the foreign debt, notwithstanding the said loans of 1787 and 1788—to pay the interest due on the foreign debt to the year 1788, inclusive—to pay the current expenses of the federal government of the present and preceding years, and to be provided in some measures for the demands of the year 1789.
Under these circumstances the committee are of opinion, that the monies lately borrowed in Holland be applied solely to discharging the Dutch interest, and certain demands arising against the United States in Europe; that an adequate sum of the arrears due of the past requisitions be appropriated for the services of the present year, and that one year's interest on the domestic debt be called for and made payable in indents;—Whereupon,
Resolved , That of the arrearages due on the requisitions of 1784, 1785 and 1786, be and there is hereby appropriated for the services of the present year, the sum of three hundred and twenty six thousand, four hundred and twenty-seven dollars, and for the following purposes, to wit,
   DOLLARS.     For the Civil department, 108,587. 60   Military department, 119,839. 30   Surveys of Western Lands, 4,000   Indian Treaties, 20,000   Invalid Pensions, 58,000   Contingencies, 16,000   326,427  
Resolved , That the states be and they are hereby required to pay into the Treasury of the United States on or before the first of July next, the sum of one million, six hundred and eighty-six thousand, five hundred and forty-one dollars, and twelve ninetieths of a dollar, being the amount of one year's Interest on the Domestic Debt of the United States; and that the quotas of the several states of the aforesaid sum, be as follows, to wit:
   DOLLARS.     New-Hampshire 59,258   Massachusetts, 252,339. 63   Rhode-Island, 36,326. 18   Connecticut, 148,516. 18   New-York, 144,185. 57   New-Jersey, 93,728. 36   Pennsylvania, 230,608. 18   Delaware, 25,238. 72   Maryland, 159,096. 81   Virginia, 288,391. 18   North-Carolina, 122,564. 54   South-Carolina, 108,160. 54   Georgia, 18,036. 63   1,686,541. 12  
Resolved , That the several states be allowed to discharge their respective quotas of the said sum by Indents for Interest on Loan-office Certificates, and upon other certificates of the liquidated Debts of the United States, in such manner as they judge most expedient, and to ascertain the evidence of Interest due on Loan-office Certificates, the holders thereof respectively shall be at liberty to carry them to the office from which they issued; and the holders of other Certificates of liquidated debts of the United States, to carry the same to the Loan-officer of that state wherein they are inhabitants, or if foreigners, to any Loan-office within the United States, and to have the interest thereon settled and certified to the last day of the year 1787.
Resolved , That the foregoing requisition for 1,686,541. 12 dollars, when paid, shall be passed to the credit of the states respectively, on the terms prescribed by the resolve of Congress of the 6th day of October, 1779.
Resolved , That the Board of Treasury furnish the several Loan-officers with Indents to be issued for interest as aforesaid; and also with such checks and instructions as they from time to time shall judge necessary, to prevent counterfeit certificates of debts from obtaining a settlement of Interest, and to detect counterfeit evidence of Interest, and thereby to avoid receiving them in discharge of taxes; which Indents of Interest being parted with by the holder of the Principal, shall be deemed evidence that he has received satisfaction for the same, and shall be receivable from any state in the union, whether issued in such state or any other state.
Resolved , That the state paying such Indents of Interest into the Treasury of the United States, shall have credit for the same, and such payment shall be considered as a discharge of Interest on the Domestic Debt, in the proportion that each state avails itself of the said Indents of Interest; but no state shall have a right to pay more than its quota, as specified in the existing requisitions of Congress, in the said Indents of Interest.
Resolved , That the Board of Treasury be, and they are hereby directed to transmit to each state an account of their respective arrears on requisitions in Specie and Indents, and to state to them the necessity there is of their making payments of their arrears in Specie, to enable Congress to discharge the current expenses of the Federal Government, and the Interest, and parts of the Principal of the Foreign Debt, which are become due, and remain unpaid.
Extract from the Journal of Congress.
WEDNESDAY, August 13, 1788.
The order of the day being called up for putting the constitution into operation, and the act as amended, being read as follows:
Whereas the convention assembled in Philadelphia pursuant to the resolution of Congress of the 21st of February, 1787, did, on the 17th of September, in the same year, report to the United States in Congress assembled, a constitution for the people of the United States, whereupon Congress on the 28th day of the same September, did resolve unanimously, That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each state by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention made and provided in that case; and whereas the constitution so reported by the convention, and by Congress transmitted to the several legislatures, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient for the establishment of the same, and such ratifications duly authenticated, have been received by Congress, and are filed in the office of the secretary—therefore resolved , That the first Wednesday in January next, be the day for appointing electors in the several states, which before the said day shall have ratified the said constitution; that the first Wednesday in February next be the day for the electors to assemble in their states,
day in March next, be the time for commencing proceedings under the said constitution: And whereas a central situation would be most eligible for the sitting of the legislature of the United States, if such could be found in a condition to furnish in due time, the accommodations necessary for facilitating public business, and at the same time free of weighty objections which might render it improper or unlikely to be the seat of government, either permanently or until a permanent seat can be agreed on: And whereas the most effectual means of obtaining finally the establishment of the federal government, in a convenient central situation, is to leave the subject to the deliberate consideration of the future Congress, uninfluenced by undue attachment to any of the places which may stand in competition for preference, on so interesting a question, and unembarrassed by want of time and means to fix on and prepare the most proper place for this purpose; and whereas the removal of the public offices must be attended with much expence, danger and inconvenience, which ought not to be incurred but with a well founded expectation of advantages that may fully counterbalance the same; and whereas no such advantages can be expected from a removal to any place now in a condition to receive the federal legislature; and whereas in addition to the beforementioned reasons, unnecessary changes in the seat of government would be indicative of instability in the national councils, and therefore highly injurious to the interests as well as derogatory to the dignity of the United States—therefore resolved , That the city of New-York, in the State of New-York, be the place for commencing proceedings under the said constitution.
On the question to agree to the said act, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Sedgwick,
   New-Hampshire Mr. Gilman ay } ay   Mr. Wingate ay   Massachusetts Mr. Sedgwick ay } ay   Mr. Dane ay   Mr. Otis ay   Mr. Thatcher ay   Connecticut Mr. Huntington ay } ay   Mr. Wadsworth ay   New-York Mr. L'Hommedieu ay } ay   Mr. Hamilton ay   New-Jersey Mr. Elmer ay } *   Pennsylvania Mr. Irvine no   Mr. Meredith no } no   Mr. Armstrong no   Mr. Kearny no } no   Delaware Mr. Mitchel no   Maryland Mr. Sney no } no   Mr. Contee no   Virginia Mr. Ross no } no   Mr. Griffin no   Mr. Madison no   Mr. Carrington no   South-Carolina Mr. Lee ay } ay   Mr. Huger ay   Mr. Parker ay   Mr. Tucker ay   Georgia Mr. Few ay } dd   Mr. Baldwin no  
So the question was lost.
An ordinance was then moved by Mr. Kearny, seconded by Mr. Contee, which was read in the words following:
An ordinance for establishing the times for appointing electors and chusing a president under the new constitution, with the time and place for commencing proceedings under the said constitution, agreeably to the resolves of the convention assembled in Philadelphia, of the 17th September, 1787.
Whereas the convention assembled in Philadelphia, pursuant to the resolution of Congress of the 21st of February, 1787, did, on the 17th day of September, in the same year, report to the United States in Congress assembled, a constitution or form of government for the people of the United States; whereupon Congress, on the 28th day of the same September, did resolve unanimously, That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates, chosen in each state by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention made and provided in that case: And whereas the constitution so reported by the convention, and by Congress transmitted to the several legislatures, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient for the establishment of the same, and such ratifications duly authenticated have been received by Congress, and are filed in the office of the secretary thereof; be it therefore ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, That the first Wednesday in January next, be the day for appointing electors in the several states, which before the said day shall have ratified the said constitution—that the first Wednesday in February next, be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective states, and vote for a president—and that the first Wednesday in March next, be the time, and the place for commencing proceedings under the said constitution. Done, &c.
On the question, shall this ordinance be read a second time, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Kearny,
   New-Hampshire Mr. Gilman no } no   Mr. Wingate no   Massachusetts Mr. Sedgwick no } no   Mr. Dane no   Mr. Otis no   Mr. Thatcher no   Connecticut Mr. Huntington no } no   Mr. Wadsworth no   New-York Mr. L'Hommedieu no } dd   Mr. Hamilton ay   New-Jersey Mr. Elmer ay } *   Pennsylvania Mr. Irvine ay   Mr. Meredith ay } ay   Mr. Armstrong ay   Mr. Kearny ay } ay   Delaware Mr. Mitchel ay   Maryland Mr. Sney ay } ay   Mr. Contee ay   Virginia Mr. Ross ay } ay   Mr. Griffin ay   Mr. Madison ay   Mr. Carrington ay   South-Carolina Mr. Lee no } no   Mr. Huger no   Georgia Mr. Parker no } dd   Mr. Few no   Mr. Baldwin ay  

L O N D O N, June 26. We are assured that the declaration of war between Sweden and Russia has actually taken place. The King of Sweden is the offensive party. He follows this declaration by his personal command of the army in Finland. We before said, that the principal cause of jealousy was the recovery of that part of Finland, wrested from his ancestors in a former war with Russia, called the country of Karolia. It is the easternmost part of old Finland, and immediately adjacent to the other dominions of the Empress.
By this declaration of war, the Empress will find herself much perplexed in her quarrel with the Turks, and must withdraw a considerable body of her forces from the South. Her projects are so far thwarted in regard to offensive measures against them, that we are assured the Russian fleet destined to the Mediterranean will not sail this year.
Our late attempts in opening the fur-trade from Kamshatka, have been very unsuccessful. The Nutka, Captain Mears, which left Bengal about two years ago upon that expedition, in company with the Ott, has returned to China in a very distressed state; and of the other ship no accounts have been heard. The adventurers in this new species of trade must have sustained a very considerable loss; but the unfortunate fate of those immediately employed is still more to be lamented.
Yesterday arrived a mail from New-York, brought to Falmouth by the Portland Packet in 24 days. Yesterday two more houses in the city stopped payment for a very considerable sum.
A matrimonial negotiation between the Courts of London and Berlin is now on the tapis. The alliance will, as report goes, be a double one: the Princess Royal of Prussia marries one of our Princesses; the Duke of York marries a Princess of Prussia.
JULY 1-3. The following are the only particulars of the engagement (mentioned in our last) between the Emperor's troops and the forces of the Republic of Venice, which have yet arrived;
The Imperial troops having disembarked in the district of Budon, to effect a junction with some forces ( Les Monts Noirs ) in Albania, were stopped on their march by the Venetian advance guard, who shewed the orders of the Senate, as his authority, to deny the pass, and to contest it, if the denial was resisted. The orders of the Senate were general, and extended as a bar, not only to the Venetians, but against all strangers. The orders also were circumscript as to the mode of passing: to avoid, to the last extremity, every measure that could be construedly referred to offensive war. Which side fired first is differently reported: both sides fired, and exchanged three rounds of shot, with some carnage on both sides, but with no change of place in either. The consequences of this skirmish are not known.
K I N G S T O N, (Jamaica) July 5. Very much to our regret, we learn that the viceroy of Santa-Fe, has recently withdrawn, except in one and two instances, the permission given to the subjects of his Catholic majesty to trade to this island, in consequence of which several vessels usually employed in such intercourse are now laid up at Cartagena. This step, so inimical to our commercial interests, is laid in Cartagena, to have originated in the continual alteration of our acts of Parliament, particularly the free-port act, and their unfair interpretation by interested officers of the revenue; which united together, so effectually cramp every exertion as to completely destroy the reciprocal advantage that is the basis of commerce. Our present gloomy situation with respect to trade, wanted not this additional evil; but it would appear that the all grasping hand of the mother country will not be withheld till prosperity recoils from her touch, and she fatally convinced that her colonies cannot make bricks without straw.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, August 21. Circular Letters, it is confidently asserted, have been sent to most of the counties and many townships from Cumberland to request persons to meet at Harrisburg in September, for the purpose of procuring certain alterations in the federal government. Tho' we cannot think any citizen in the smallest degree censurable for pursuing measures, which he may think necessary, yet the secrecy of this measure, and the omission of such circular letters to the townships in our vicinity and to this city, has a very improper appearance. There is a fear of open discussion, and a depth of maneuvering, which we hope will have a serious effect upon the minds of the good people of Pennsylvania. It is evidently calculated to effect the ensuing election. Let the friends of just government and of the peace and happiness of Pennsylvania not sleep upon the watch.

THE Society for promoting the Manumission of Slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated, having solicited charitable donations from the people in this city, for the purpose of establishing a school for the instruction of negro children; think it a duty they owe the public, to give some account of their proceedings in this important business.
The Society having agreed upon a number of rules and regulations for the government of the school, appointed twelve of their number Trustees, whose business it should be to engage a master, and visit the school every month, to examine the progress the scholars made in learning, and see that the regulations for the school were duly attended to.
The Trustees procured a master, and the school was opened on the first of November last, with a small number of scholars, it has been gradually increasing from that time, and it now consists of forty-two scholars; several have been dismissed the school, and some bound apprentices to learn useful trades.
The Trustees have visited the school regularly every month, and have found from time to time, that the scholars have made uncommon progress in learning.
Tho' the school was instituted principally for the benefit of the children of free negroes, the Society, at their last meeting, desirous of extending the benefit of it to others, authorised the Trustees to admit those that were slaves, upon condition of their masters paying 10s. per quarter. This stipulation was deemed necessary, as the funds of the Society at present, are not sufficient to maintain the school. Those children, who their masters design to liberate at a suitable age, are to be admitted without expense.
The Trustees esteem themselves happy in having obtained Mr. Davis for an instructor, as he appears uncommonly well qualified for the arduous undertaking. It may be proper to mention, that by one rule of the Society, it is necessary that two of the Trustees should visit the children, and sign a paper for their admission to the school.
The present Trustees, are Matthew Clarkson, John Bleecker, Thomas Burling, Jacob Seaman, White Marlock, James Cogswell, Willet Seaman, Nathaniel Lawrence, William Cochran, William Backhouse, Richard Lawrence, John Murray, jun. New-York, August 15.

BURNS' POEMS.
Now in the press, and speedily will be published, Poems, by Robert Burns, The Ayreshire Ploughman.
THIS American edition of Burns' Poems will be ornamented with a head of the author, neatly engraved by Mr. Scott, of Philadelphia, and, to render the work more worthy of public patronage, will be added, without any additional expense, a number of Poems selected from the works of the celebrated R. Ferguson.
The publishers return their sincere thanks to those Gentlemen who subscribed for this work some time ago, and assure them that the reason of its not appearing sooner, was entirely owing to the extreme scarcity of Printing paper; a supply of fine paper is now received, and, as the work is in the press, they may rely on having their copies in a very short time.
Subscriptions continue to be received in New-York by J. and A. McLean, and the several Booksellers: in Philadelphia, by Messrs. Bailey, Pritchard, and Dobson; and in Norfolk by John McLean. July 11.
