Last evening, captain Goodwin, in the ship Mary, arrived in this port from St. Petersburgh, in 84 days. Her cargo, hemp, duck, iron, &c.
We hear, that three vessels from Halifax, British property, have been seized, by the officers of the customs since our last, for making false entries.
The supreme executive of this commonwealth, have been pleased to grant a FULL AND FREE PARDON, to the four unhappy persons under sentence of death for treason viz. Jason Parmenter, Henry McCulloch, Henry Gale, and Job Shattuck. And as peace and tranquillity appeared to be restored to the citizens in the western counties, it was thought expedient not to continue the troops any longer in service: It was therefore the unanimous voice of the council, that his excellency the Governor be requested, to issue his orders to the officer commanding the troops in said counties, to discharge them: And the troops have been discharged accordingly.
New-York, October 4.
ON Tuesday evening last, the hon. THOMAS BARCLAY, Esq. on his return from an important embassy to the dominions of the Emperor of Morocco, arrived in this city, via Boston.
Yesterday, being the anniversary of the society for the relief of clergymen's widows and their children, a sermon was preached in St. Paul's Church, by the right Rev. William White, D. D. Bishop of the state of Pennsylvania.
We are authorised to warn the public to beware of counterfeit TEN POUND, THREE POUND, and ONE POUND, bills of the late emission, as it is undoubted many such bills are just discovered to be actually circulating in several parts of the state. Marks of distinction are discovered, for which we have not room this day.
We are informed, that Dr. MITCHELL has lately received, from Mr. PLATT, of Frederickburg, a semi-metallic substance, which, upon chemical analysis, he proves to be antimony in a state of mineralization by sulphur. This we suppose is the first discovery of that metal in this part of the globe. It is certain that our country contains more valuable articles than we are aware of, and the more it shall be investigated, the clearer will this truth appear. That our internal resources are sufficient to support our independence, and make us a mighty people.
We learn from New-Brunswick (New-Jersey) that on the evening of Tuesday week a sloop from New-York, bound to Philadelphia, unfortunately ran foul of a vessel from North-Carolina, off Barnegat, and so materially damaged the former, that she immediately sunk; the latter received very little damage;—happily another sloop in company took up the people, and not a life was lost.
We learn from Newport, Rhode-Island, that the general assembly of that state, in their late sessions, in consequence of a letter received from Congress, earnestly pressing the state to send on delegates to Congress, had warm debates on this important subject; finally a majority of three negatived sending members.
They passed an act, upon the resolution of Congress, requesting the state to repeal any laws repugnant to the treaty with Great-Britain.
An act passed, granting a tax of thirty thousand pounds, in paper, to be paid into the treasury in January next, to be appropriated towards discharging the state debt. Also, a curious, apologetical letter to Congress, assigning reasons for not sending delegates to the Convention, a protest of the minority, and a resolution requesting the governor, by letter, to inform the president of Congress, that two delegates were directed to attend their body on the first Monday in November next; that measures were taken by the assembly for having the state duly represented, and that they have not given orders for their delegates going forward previous to that time, under an apprehension, that the states should not generally be represented in Congress until their meeting for the next year.
PUBLIC COMMENCEMENT. On Wednesday the 12th inst. the public anniversary commencement of Yale-College, was celebrated in New-Haven; which was graced with the presence of his Excellency Governor Huntington.
At 11 o'clock the academic procession moved from the college chapel, to the brick meeting-house, in the usual order.
An anthem, performed by the students, and a prayer by the President, introduced the exercises of the day. Those performed by the Bachelors were, A salutatory oration, by Mr. Everston.
A Hebrew oration by Mr. Judson.
A forensic disputation by Messrs. Dutton, Gay, and Sterling, upon this question, Whether it would be expedient to enlarge the powers of Congress?
A Greek dialogue by Messrs. Ellery and Whiteley.
A syllogistic disputation upon this thesis, Magna & numerosa Metropolis Respublica Emolumento non fuit: Mr. Wadsworth Respondent, and Mr. Raynolds opponent. Another on this thesis, An nihililato Peccatoris justitia Dei repugnant: Mr. Ely respondent, and Mr. Hunt opponent.
An English dialogue, by Messrs. Ely of Springfield, Burghardt, Lothrop, and Nott. An English oration upon agriculture, by Mr. Backus, concluded the exercise of the Bachelors.
A forensic disputation, between Messrs. Lyman and Marth, upon this question, Would a greater diffusion of literature among the inhabitants of New-England be for the public good?
The president then conferred the degree of Bachelor of Arts, upon 57 gentlemen.
The degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon 29 gentlemen, alumni of that college.—And, other colleges three gentlemen.
The honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred on the Hon. Richard Morris, Esq. chief justice of the supreme court in this state, formerly an alumnus of that college; and on Ephraim Kirby, Esquire.
The degree of Doctor of Medicine, was conferred on Lewis Dunham.
The degree of Doctor of laws was conferred on the Hon. Eliphalet Dyer, Esq. one of the judges of the supreme court in that state.
The degree of Doctor in Laws was conferred on his Excellency Governor Huntington.
The valedictory oration was then pronounced by Mr. Tudor Dennison, and the Rev. president concluded the exercises of the day with prayer.
Thursday last, the brig Georgia Packet, Captain Williams, arrived at Philadelphia, in 44 days from Bourdeaux, by whom we learn, that though political affairs in Europe for some time since, wore the strongest appearance of hostility, yet no fleet had sailed from any of the ports of France. Captain Williams left Bourdeaux about the 15th of Aug. the general opinion then was, that the unhappy disputes in the United Netherlands, would be compromised by the mediating powers.
The honorable council of appointment have been pleased to appoint the honorable James Duane, Esq. to be mayor; Richard Varick, Esq. to be recorder; and Robert Boyd, Esq. to be sheriff, of the city and county of New-York.
They have also appointed Silas Halsey, Esquire, sheriff of Suffolk county;

The Editor of the New-York Journal, &c. having heard many ill-natured, and injudicious observations, on what the observers are pleased to stile HIS PARTIALITY, as a public printer, cannot refrain from remarking, that their suspicions are groundless—that their observations are spiteful—and that servile letters for the FREE PRESS of this country would be the inevitable consequence, were printers easily terrified into a rejection of free and decent discussions upon public topics.—The Editor professes to print an impartial paper, and again declares, that, setting aside his private political sentiments, he will ever act AS A PRINTER, giving to every performance, that may be written with decency, free access to his Journal;—there is spacious ground for the reconter of a CATO and a CÆSAR—for a REPUBLICAN and ANONYMOUS—for a SIDNEY and —, &c. &c.—either of whose communications will be received with pleasure, and, to give greater satisfaction, if desired, be inserted opposite to each other, in the same paper. For such interesting political investigations the Editor will conceive himself much obliged, as; by this means, he will be more effectually enabled to serve the national interest.—CATO was received at too late an hour for this day's publication, but shall be inserted in our next.

WHITE TEETH!
I. Greenwood,
SURGEON DENTIST,
No. 199, Water-street, opposite the Coffee-house,
ENCOURAGED by the success of his practice, begs leave to acquaint the public, that he preserves the TEETH and GUMS, by removing an infectious tartar that corrupts them, and renders the natural purity of the breath offensive, this tartar acquires a solidity equal to stone, the corrosive particles destroy the enamel of the teeth, the body of it causes an inflammation in the gums, and by degrees will strip them from the roots of the teeth, and if not removed, force them out of their sockets. He cures the scurvy in the gums, softens the teeth, extracts, replaces, transplants, and regulates, cleans the teeth and makes them white, substitutes artificial teeth in so neat a manner as not to be perceived from the natural, without drawing the slumps, or causing the least pain; they help mastication, give a youthful air to the countenance, render pronunciation more agreeable and distinct; in a word, as there is nothing more beautiful, and of such real service as a good set of teeth, both natural and artificial are worthy the attention of every one. His charges are low, to give every person an opportunity of being benefited by him. Said GREENWOOD will with pleasure attend those ladies or gentlemen, who cannot conveniently wait on him, upon their sending directions. New-York, July 12, 1787. 23—
