CHARLESTON, (S. C.) June 11. Yesterday came on in the court of admiralty- sessions, the trials of Capt. Rogers, and John Masters, for the murder of Mr. Nathan. William Cain, and Richard Williams, for the murder of Capt. Webb and Mr. M c Leod; when, after hearing the evidence, they were all found guilty.
June 12. Yesterday, Josiah Jordan, Robert Stacey, John George, Thomas Smith, Edward Hatcher, and Ann Connelly, were executed on a Gallows newly erected on the common between the gaol and magazine, for the murder of Mr. Nicholas John Wightman, on the 12th of March last.
Previous to their ascending the platform under the Gallows, Hatcher declared, that being about to leave the world in a few minutes, he could not be supposed to utter an untruth, and did most solemnly protest, that what he had before sworn and said was untrue. Ann Connelly and Stacey then took him by the hand, telling him, that although their sad fate was owing to what he had done, yet, having now done them justice, they freely forgave him. The sheriff asked Hatcher if he knew any thing about Captain Marston's money, which he owned having been. After this question, the alterations about innocence on the part of Hatcher and Stacey ceased, and they all appeared, by fervent appeals to the universal God of Nature, intent on meriting his mercy by an acknowledgment of his divine attributes.
Yesterday William Pendergrass was tried for murder on the high seas, and found guilty. Judge Drayton then proceeded to pass sentence on William Cain, Richard Williams, William Rogers, John Masters, and William Pendergrass, that they should be executed on Monday next. They are to be hung in chains on Morris's Island.
H A L I F A X, May 22.
Thursday last arrived the ship Neptune, Captain Martin, from Trapani, in Sicily, but last from Gibraltar, from which place she made her passage in 29 days.
In the Neptune came passenger, Capt. Wilks of the Royal Artillery, with his Lady, &c.
This gentleman informs, that the Emperor of Morocco, having taken umbrage at some indignity which he conceived to have been offered him by the English, has ordered all the British vessels from his ports, and would not even allow the smallest communication to be kept up between his subjects and the garrison of Gibraltar, nor an article of provision to be transported thither. That in consequence of these orders, the English merchants, factors, &c. had retired from the Barbarian's dominions with the utmost expedition. The British Consul at Tangier, being informed of these proceedings, was also preparing to depart; the Governor of that port, however, understanding his intentions, requested him to remain a short time further, insinuating that affairs might yet take an amicable turn.
June 5. Monday failed Rear-Admiral Sawyer, in his Majesty's ship Leader, Capt. Sir James Barclay; accompanied by the Dido, Capt. Sandys; Resource, Capt. Minchin; Thistle, Capt. Hood; Brisk, Capt.

Tuesday arrived the ship Wilson, in nine days from New-York. This vessel has on board about 4000 barrels of flour, for the use of the army.
The same day arrived the sloop Sally, Capt. Bidder, from New-York, laden with flour, biscuit, &c.
S T. JOHN, (New Brunswick) May 27.
Since our last arrived in this harbour, the ship Elizabeth, Capt. Greig, in eight weeks from London.
In the above ship came passengers, the Rev. Mr. James, and Rev. Mr. Milton, two Missionaries sent here under the immediate patronage of the Right Hon. the Countess of Huntingdon, who has we are told, ordered a great number of Bibles, and other religious books, to be distributed to the poor gratis; and has also made some proposals for erecting a College, &c. in this city.
B O S T O N, June 18. IMPEACHMENT.
It was determined in the House of Representatives the last week, after a candid and impartial hearing of the parties, that articles of impeachment should be preferred to the honorable the Senate, against the HIGH SHERIFF of the county of WORCESTER, for misconduct in his high office.—Dissentients 10 only.
The terror of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, is a great and necessary preventive in a free Constitution, against the mal-administration of public officers. In Great Britain it has often been employed to secure the liberties of the people and to punish offenders, who seem to be placed beyond the ordinary process of law, on account of the advantages they possess for concealing their crimes, from the mass of the people, and the influence of an exalted station. This necessary check to the rapacity of the great officers of government, was not overlooked in framing our own excellent Constitution. By art. 8, sect. 2, chap. 1. "The Senate shall be a Court to hear and determine all impeachments made by the House of Representatives against any officer or officers of the Commonwealth, for misconduct and mal-administration in their offices—their judgment however shall not extend further than to removal from office and disqualification to hold or enjoy any place of honor, trust or profit under this Commonwealth, but the party so convicted shall be nevertheless liable to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment according to the laws of the land." Thus is a high court established for the trial of enormous offenders; and it must give great encouragement to all true lovers of their country to see the present patriotic House of Representatives, in faithful discharge of their constituents and according to the oaths they have so solemnly taken to discharge all the duties incumbent on them, firmly and impartially, diligently and dispassionately inquiring and determining upon this important subject. Had this business been taken up two years ago, we will venture to say that the late rebellion, which has been attended with such an enormous expence to the public—and such other pernicious effects, might have been prevented: The people have been made a prey to rapacious collectors: These collectors have availed themselves of the iniquitous methods adopted by government to collect the public taxes, and have seldom if ever returned the monies and paper collected by them, into the Treasury immediately upon their receiving it. The consequence has been that the people have been oppressed to pay their taxes in season, when the government has not received any benefit from them; the great body of the people, not knowing the source of the evil, charged that on the Legislature, which the executive officers have been the only blame-worthy causes of. An enquiry into this business has become necessary, and from what has transpired, we have no doubt that the public clamor against public defaulters is founded;—who they are, our political rulers will determine; we do not presume to point them out; but as they have begun we trust they will proceed to detect and confound all those how high soever they may be, who in any way disgrace their places.
NEW-YORK, June 26.
An Express arrived here yesterday morning from Poughkeepsie, with the agreeable intelligence—That the CONVENTION OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE RATIFIED THE NEW CONSTITUTION ON SATURDAY LAST— Yeas 57—Nays 46—Majority 11.
Soon after the foregoing important intelligence was received, a general joy diffused itself through the city; the bells were rung, and a number of flags displayed in various parts of the town. In the afternoon nine guns were discharged in honor of the nine States which have adopted the New Constitution—also a Federal salute of 13 guns.
On Tuesday last the Convention after having for some days debated on the 2d section of the Constitution, proceeded to take up the 3d sect. During the whole of that day there was a very serious discussion on a motion made for giving the State Government the power of recalling the Senators, and that they be not eligible for more than six years out of twelve.
[The Debates will be continued to-morrow.] Extract of a letter from a member of the Convention of Virginia, dated June 13.
"The federal constitution now absorbs the whole attention of all ranks and degrees of people. The minds of men seem to be universally agitated; but the issue of it will be, without a doubt, favorable to our wishes, and those of the discerning patriots of America."
"The opposition here seem to be afraid to meet the question upon its merits; from whence we infer their doubts and fears, and even despair of success."
"The first resolution we passed in the Convention was that the Constitution should be debated clause by clause, for the better information of such as might be supposed to want it. In consequence of this we have now spent nine days in debating, and the first clause is not gone through. Speeches, of two and three hours long are supported every day, for no other purpose, I believe, than to delay and procrastinate the business, till the determination of some other state be known, or until the members are tired out—in hopes that an adjournment may take place."
Extract of a letter from St. Mary's, Georgia, to a gentleman in Charleston, dated 30th May.
"I have just received the following intelligence from an Indian countryman, viz.—That on the 27th inst. he spoke with an Indian warrior, who said, he met with a number of a gang of 40 young warriors that were returning to their nation, in consequence of receiving information that Mr. McGillivray had sent to call in every warrior; a peace having been concluded upon between the commissioners from Congress and the Indian tribes. I place so much confidence in this information, that I am induced immediately to enter into trade."
On the 18th inst. a Committee of the Hon. Legislature of Massachusetts presented the following Address to the Hon. JOHN ADAMS:—
"SIR, "THE return of yourself and family to the United States, and to this your native State in particular, is gratifying to all who recollect your many successful labors in the service of your country."
"To the patriot citizens of a free Commonwealth, the affection of an enlightened people will appear the most illustrious reward."
"The Legislature of Massachusetts, just to the merit of all her citizens, and particularly mindful of your's, participate in the public satisfaction which is manifest on your arrival: And in these congratulations the Legislature are confident that they express the sentiments of the people."
To the foregoing address, Mr. Adams returned the following answer.
To the Hon. the LEGISLATURE of the Commonwealth of MASSACHUSETTS.
"THE kind and condescending congratulations of so illustrious a body as the Legislature of Massachusetts, on my arrival, with my family, in this my native country, does me great honor, and demands my most grateful acknowledgements."
"If the dangers and fatigues which have fallen to my share in the course of a memorable revolution, have contributed in any degree to the acquisition or security of those inestimable blessings of independence and peace, of commerce and territory, of civil and religious liberty, which this highly favored nation now enjoys, the reflection on them will be a source of consolation to me to my latest period, and the candor and indulgence with which they have been received by my fellow citizens, will ever be remembered with gratitude."
JOHN ADAMS.
Yesterday the young gentlemen of Mr. Campbell's Grammar School were examined, when they gave universal satisfaction to a very learned and respectable audience.
On Tuesday arrived the sloop Sally, Bidder, in 10 days from Halifax.
The great Regiomontanus in the year 1475 prophesied thus;
"When fifteen hundred years and eighty-eight From our Redeemer's birth shall be expired, Then comes the time which shall mankind affright, The time of danger, not by them desir'd; For in that year suppose the world change not, Kingdoms, and states, & empires then shall change; If sea and land remain, it shall not be forgot That men shall fear those evils new and strange."
In that remarkable year, Poland had three kings usurping the title, while the fourth was yet unbodied; Maximilian the emperor was taken prisoner, his army overthrown and many thousands of men, women and children taken prisoners by the Tartars. Sweden was all on fire with tumults, and lost certain places of strength to the Muscovite. The Muscovite himself ran mad. Frederick II. King of Denmark died. England obtained a glorious victory over the Spanish armada; the Spaniards lost near 80 ships, and about 20,000 men. In France the barricado of Paris; the flight of the king from thence; the slaughter of the Duke of Guise, and his brother the Cardinal of Lorraine; the death of the queen's mother, and the overthrow which the king of Navarre gave to duke Mercury, with the poisoning of the prince of Conde, are part of the subject of that year's calamities.
The Bishop of Rodez, in his life of Henry the Great, says thus: "Now began the wonderful year 1588; terrible prodigies arrived throughout Europe; in France were great earthquakes along the Loire, and likewise in Normandy. The sea was six weeks together disturbed with continual tempests, which seemed to confound both heaven and earth: in the air appeared divers phantoms of fire: and on January 24, Paris was covered with so horrible a darkness, that objects were scarce visible."
In the year 1688 besides many other remarkable things, the Revolution happened in England.
The year 1788 has begun with events of the most interesting nature. The African slave trade is likely to receive a deadly blow in Great Britain.
The parliaments of France have claimed, and will probably recover, their ancient privileges. The Russians have begun a war, which may end in the destruction of Turkish power, and of the Mahomedan impostures in religion. The United States have formed and perhaps (by this time) adopted a government, which will secure and perpetuate her liberties, we hope to the end of time. And lastly, the king of France has not only extended the blessings of a free toleration to all religious sects, in every part of his dominions, but opened the doors of power and office to them.—Happy era of human affairs!—when reason and religion unite their influence in the government of the different nations of the world!
From the European Magazine, for April, 1788.
Account of the dreadful Inundation of the SEA, on the Coast of COROMANDEL, in the East-Indies.
In a Letter from Mr. William Parson to Alexander Dalrymple, Esq.
My dear friend, Ingeram, June 7, 1787. YOU will to have a just and circumstantial account of the late calamity we have sustained. It is no wonder the accounts you have seen should be incoherent and imperfect; for while the misfortune was recent, our minds were distracted with a thousand fears and apprehensions for the consequences: indeed people less alarmed and less gloomy than ourselves might have admitted the apprehension of pestilence and famine; the former, from the air being tainted from some thousands of putrid carcases both of men and cattle; and the latter, from the country around us being destroyed, as well as our stock of provisions and the fruit of the earth.
From the 17th of May, it blew hard from the N. E. but as bad weather is unusual at such a season, we did not apprehend that it would become more serious; but on the 19th at night it increased to a hard gale; and on the 20th in the morning it blew a perfect hurricane, inasmuch that our houses presently untiled, our doors and windows beat in, and the railing and part of the wall of our enclosures blown down. A little before eleven it came with violence from the sea, and I presently perceived a multitude of the inhabitants crowding towards my house, crying out that the sea was coming in upon us. I cast my eyes in that direction, and saw it approaching with great rapidity, bearing much the same appearance as the bar in Bengal river. As my house was situated very low, I did not hesitate to abandon it, directing my steps towards the old Factory, in order to avail myself of the Terrace: for in that dreadful moment I could not so far reflect upon causes or effects, as to account for the phenomenon, or to set bounds to its encrease. I had indeed heard of a tradition among the natives, that about a century ago the sea ran as high as the tallest Palmira trees, which I have ever disregarded as fabulous, till the present unusual appearance called it more forcibly to my mind. In my way to the old Factory, I stopped at the door of Mr. Bourre's house, to apprize the rest of the gentlemen of their danger, and the measures I had concerted for my safety: they accordingly joined me; but before we attained the place of our destination, we were nearly intercepted by the torrent of water. As the house is built on a high spot, and pretty well elevated from the ground, so we had no occasion to have recourse to the Terrace. Between one and two o'clock the water began to subside a little, and continued gradually decreasing till the body of it had retired; leaving all the low places, tanks and wells full of salt water. I think the sea must have risen fifteen feet above its natural level.
About the time of the water subsiding, the wind favored it by coming round to the Southward, from which point it blew the hardest. As the Factory-house was in a very ruinous state, and shook exceedingly at every gust, we were very anxious to get back to Mr. Bourre's house. I attempted it twice, but found I had neither power nor strength to combat the force of the wind, getting back with the greatest difficulty to my former station. About five o'clock, during a short lull, we happily effected our remove. It blew very hard the greatest part of the night: at midnight it veered to the Westward, and was so cold, that I thought we should have perished as we reclined in our chairs. The gale broke up towards the morning. I shall not attempt to describe to you the scene that presented itself to our view, when day-light appeared: it was dreary and horrid beyond description. The trees were all blighted by the salt water, and the face of the country covered with salt mud; yet it had more the appearance of having suffered by a blast of hot wind, or by the eruption of volcanos, than by an inundation of water, such an effect had it in destroying the herbage and foliage of every description. Our houses were found full of the inhabitants who had taken refuge therein, stripped of doors and windows and quite open to the weather at top; the godowns mostly carried away, and several substantial tiled houses so completely levelled, as scarcely to afford a mark of their ever existing: but our sufferings were light, when compared with those of Coringa, and the rest of the villages nearer the sea. At Coringa, out of four thousand inhabitants, it is said not more than twenty were saved, and those mostly on Mrs. Corfar's Terrace, and on the beams of Capt. Webster's house. Mr. Gideon Firth, Mr. George Day, and the Portuguese Padre were, I believe, the only Europeans that were drowned. At first the sea rose gradually, and as it came in with the tide the people were not much alarmed; but when they found it still encrease so as to render their situation dangerous, they mounted on the top of their Cadjanhousses, till the sea impelled by a strong Easterly wind rushed in upon them most furiously, when all the housses at the same awful moment gave way, and nearly four thousand souls were launched into eternity. This tremendous scene was visible from Mrs. Corfar's Terrace, over which the sea sometimes broke, and they were frequently in great danger from the drifting of vessels and other heavy bodies, which must inevitably have brought down the house, had they come in contact. At the Dutch village of Jaggermaickporam, I hear the distress was very great, and that about a thousand lives were lost; many of the villages in the low country between Coringa and Jaggermaickporam were totally destroyed, and the inundation carried its dreadful effects as far to the northward as Apparai; but I do not hear that many lives were lost at that place. The inundation penetrated inland about ten coss from the sea in a direct line; but did little more damage to the Westward of us than destroying the vegetation. It would be very difficult to ascertain with any precision, the number of lives lost in this dreadful visitation; the most intelligent people I have conferred with on the subject, state the loss at from ten to twenty thousand souls. This is rather an indefinite computation; but I think, if the medium be taken, it will then rather exceed than fall short of the real loss. They compute that a lack of cattle were drowned, and from the vast numbers I saw dead at Nellapilla, I can easily credit their assertion. For two or three days after the calamity such was the languor of the inhabitants, that not a Cooley or workman was to be procured at any price; it required our utmost exertion to get the dead bodies and the dead cattle buried with all possible speed, to prevent the air
being impregnated with putrid effluvia. This, to be sure, was a task we could not fully execute, except just in the villages. However, no bad effects have ensued, which I impute to the continual land winds that have blown strongly for some time past. These have the property of drying up the juice of the dead bodies and preventing putrefaction, which must necessarily have been the consequence in a damp air. It is extraordinary, that the vast tract of low ground on the south-side Guadavery, from Gottendy to Bundermalanka, suffered very little from the inundation, and scarcely a person perished. This country lies so exceedingly low, as to be flooded by the common spring tides, and a great deal of it was in consequence covered with salt jungle. It is probable they owe their safety to those small islands at the mouth of the Guadavery, as well as Point Guadavery itself, which must have both contributed to break the force of the sea.
When we had recovered from our consternation on the 21st, we began to consider how we should be able to exit in such a field of desolation, as our wells were filled with salt water, our provisions destroyed, and we found by digging in different places that no sweet water was to be procured; when it was discovered that Providence had so far interfered in our favor, as to bring down the freshes at a very early and unusual season. From what accounts we could hastily gather, we were apprehensive that the stores of rice were either much damaged or totally destroyed, as the rice godowns and gomarks are generally secured against an accident less formidable than this. However, the event has happily fulfilled our fears, and proved our information fallacious, for rice has hitherto been plentiful and not dear. The generous supplies that have been sent us from the Presidency will, I trust, secure us from serious want. Our markets have not yet been attended by a person with an article for sale; but this is not to be wondered at, as our supplies have been generally furnished by the villages at no great distance inland; and these countries have been drenched sufficiently in salt water to destroy their produce. The fishermen, a most useful body of people, inhabiting chiefly by the sea-side, have been almost totally extirpated; and we are thereby deprived of a very material part of our subsistence. Time alone can restore to us the comforts we have lost, and we have reason to be thankful that things have not turned out so bad as we apprehended. I have tired myself in attempting this narration, and I fear I have almost tired you in the perusal of it. A great deal more might be said upon the subject in a flowery garb: if it yields a moment's amusement to my friend, my end is fully answered. The greatest part of this intelligence you have already had in detail, but it is your desire I should bring it into one point of view. It is hastily written, and very inaccurate; but you will remember I was in a good deal of pain at the time of writing it, from an inflammation in my legs, so had not sufficient ease or leisure to correct or transcribe it.
Your's affectionately, (Signed) WILLIAM PARSON.

The Inhabitants of the City of
NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's.
He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join an unemitted affidavit to the palm and down the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
 1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed.  2d. To allocate each a proper district, in such manner, as that every sweepers chimney shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney.  3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, until the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.  4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. 
The whole taking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
