The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or fifty acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes: the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial Fence.

Yesterday, in consequence of the news of the ratification of the New Constitution by the State of Massachusetts, two flags were displayed on the Coffee-House, in honor of the Federal Convention and that of Massachusetts. Thirteen cannon were fired on Murray's wharf, in honor of each of the six States who have adopted it, and the Jenny Lindman fired a Federal Salute. The vessels in the harbor were ornamented with colors; and every demonstration of joy testified by the citizens, on account of a sixth, and FIRM PILLAR being added to the FEDERAL FABRIC.
Yesterday arrived the brig Peru, Poddock, from Port-au-Prince; sloop Milford, Thompson, from St. Croix; and sloop Lark, Burris, from St. Thomas.

An Act to repeal the Act, entitled, An Act for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, passed the 8th day of February, 1788.
WHEREAS it has been found, that the act, entitled, "An act for the relief of insolvent debtors," has been productive of much mischief, and there is great reason to suppose that wicked men have, in many instances, been guilty of the most fraudulent practices, to obtain those benefits which the Legislature intended only for the innocent and unfortunate:
Be it therefore enacted by the people of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted, by the authority of the same; that the said act, and every clause, matter and thing therein contained, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed.
Provided always, and be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid; That all discharges heretofore regularly and bona fide had, under the said act, shall be as valid; and that in every case, where an assignment has been already made, by virtue of the said act, the assignee or assignees may proceed and act; and the Court, or Judge, by whom the assignment was directed, may proceed to the final discharge of the said insolvent debtor, in all respects, as if this act had not been passed, any thing herein to the contrary thereof, in any wise notwithstanding.
I do hereby certify the foregoing to be a true copy of the original act, examined and compared therewith, at Poughkeepsie, this 9th day of February, 1788, by me
ROBERT HARPUR, Deputy Sec'y of the State.

The Dziuroglu Achmet Bacha is marching towards Choczim with some thousand men. Forty thousand men are already assembled near Ismailow, who have thrown a bridge over the river at Faloz, to march to their place of destination. The preparations are very formidable on both sides, and the war very probably may open in Poland.
Nov. 7. The accounts from Crimea are disadvantageous to Russia. Since the attack of the 12th of October, every body was anxious for Kinburn, which anxiety is proved not to have been ill founded; for the Turks, having made another furious attack upon that fortress, took it after storming it for nine hours. The whole garrison was put to the sword, and General Suwarow cruelly massacred. The public are not well pleased that Kinburn was not succoured in time; and we begin now to be uneasy for Cherson, particularly as the Russian fleet has suffered much by a storm. The Turks have lost many men in their different attacks upon Kinburn, and the Russians defended themselves bravely, but were obliged to yield to numbers. Choczim is fortifying strongly, of which French engineers have the direction. The Turk, have not yet entered the territory of this Republic, and indeed their troops have the strictest orders to the contrary.
V I E N N A, Nov. 3.
A very interesting report was spread at Constantinople about the 10th of October, viz. That a large body of Tartars, from the Southern shores of Cuban, having arrived in great silence at the Isle of Taman, had the good fortune to surprize the Russian garrison; who, not expecting such a stroke, were for the most part cut to pieces, and the others obliged to retire to Jenikale. But
as this news has no other voucher than the Ottoman Minister, who besides has published it in a vague manner, and with no fixed date, we think it prudent to wait the confirmation of it from Constantinople or Cherson, this last correspondence being very regular and constant. In the mean time we must remark, that for the Turks to arrive as far as Taman, they must have defeated the Russian troops which cover all the country situated on the right of Cuban, before they could reach that island.
Nov. 10. It is reported as a certain thing, that the French Ambassador has at last succeeded in persuading the Emperor to act in concert with the Court of France, in endeavoring, during the winter, to settle the differences between Russia and the Porte. Two couriers are lately arrived from Paris, one of whom proceeded to Constantinople.
H A G U E, Nov. 26.
The following changes have lately taken place in the principal offices of this government: Mr. Van der Hop has been appointed Treasurer General, in the room of Mr. Bisedom; Mr. Van der Spiegel, Great Pensionary of Holland, in the room of Mr. Van Bliefwyk; Mr. Perduin, Pensionary of Dordrecht, in the room of Mr. Gyzlaer; Mr. Jager, Pensionary of Haerlem, in the room of Mr. Zeelengen; and Messieurs Van Berkel and Visscher have been dismissed from the offices of Pensionaries of Amsterdam.
L O N D O N.
Dec. 4. At a meeting of the States of Holland and West-Friesland upon the 16th ult. Van Berkelman, Pensionary of Holland, moved, that a translation of the English Statutes of the 7th of W. and M. c. 28, and of the 2d of W. and M. sess. 2, c. 10, whereby certain excise duties in England "were appropriated for payment of 600,000l. to the States of the United Provinces, for their charges for King William's expedition into England," might be read; which having been agreed to, Van Berkelman arose; and after stating, in a very able manner, the glorious revolution which had recently taken place, from the restoration of his Royal Highness the Stadtholder with peace and happiness to the distracted States, by the powerful interposition of Prussia and Great-Britain, and contrasting in forcible terms the similarity of their deliverance with that of Britain at the above period "from Popery and arbitrary sway," took notice of the very great expence that had been incurred by Britain, in fitting out a fleet to co-operate with the King of Prussia; and moved, that from the same principles of honor which had actuated Great-Britain, and similar reciprocity, their High Mightinesses the United States may be requested to repay to Great-Britain the above sum of 600,000l. in part of the great charges incurred by them on this occasion, in protecting and assisting the United States. The motion was unanimously agreed to; and this State resolved that they would make good their quota of the said sum.
By private letters from the Continent we are assured of the following instance of rigid justice: The Prince of Orange, resolved to discourage, as much as it is in his power, the disorders and ravages produced by the unprecedented oppressions of the Patriotic party, has lately given an instance of his determined love of justice, by ordering a regiment in his service that had been guilty of pillaging the inhabitants of Bois le Duc, to march from thence to Maestricht, under pretence of doing garrison duty. On their arrival, they were ordered to the parade, and to lay down their arms. After which they were stripped to their very shirts, and narrowly searched, officers and men, on whom it is said that jewels, gold and specie have been found, to the amount of 300,000 florins, part of which was even concealed in their hair. A third, at least, of the officers will be dismissed. Several of the men are under confinement, and it is not doubted but they will be made a severe example of.
A B E R D E E N, Nov. 11.
The Principal and Professors of King's College conferred on JOHN KEMP, A. M. Alumnus of Marischal College of this University, and Professor of Mathematics in Columbia College, in the State of New-York, North America, the degree of DOCTOR OF LAWS.
HOUSE of ASSEMBLY.
POUGHKEEPSIE,
Wednesday, February 6, 1788.
[Debate in the Committee of the whole House, on the engrossed Bill from the Senate, concerning OATHS;---Concluded from our Paper of Wednesday.]
The first clause of the Bill, was then taken into consideration:
Mr. Benfo said, tho' he had no great expectations that his first motion would be agreed to, he trusted that the majority of the Committee would agree to reject the clause under consideration. He asked, if any man knew the duties he was to perform under that oath? Allegiance was a term which the most enlightened part of mankind differ about; and it was, he said, the
extreme of remerity for a man to take upon himself, an obligation that he did not know. He contended, that it was improper, particularly as no man, he believed, could be accused of bearing allegiance to a foreign Prince, and there was no case of necessity to require a test from the people. He remembered, that oath passed at Albany, was merely a test oath. Many people in the year 1781, grew dissatisfied with the measures of government, and to guard against these people's coming into the Legislature, it was necessary to pass such a test, that none but whigs could be elected; it then had the desired effect; and was justified by the necessity of the case. It was the danger the State was in, that compelled the Legislature to pass that law; if the same cause existed now he should not oppose it.
Mr. Jones rose only to make a few observations. The gentlemen, he said, had given a most convincing proof of the efficacy of an oath. How far they were necessary at the present time, he would not take upon him to say, but they stood at present in the Statute Book; and it would, in his opinion, be improper to erase them; they did not appear so unnecessary to him; great numbers of foreigners were daily coming among us; there is no office in the State but what they might enjoy; and would it not be right that they should previously take this test. In all the governments in the world, there was always some test prescribed for its officers. He could see no reason why, at this time, the oath should be rejected.
Mr. Benfon would just state one fact; it was true the oath, in the year 1781, had its effect. In that year, the people who were suspended, between being a Whig and Tory, did not chuse to take the oath; they were afraid that the instant they did take it, their names would have been sent down to New-York, and registered there. It was only drawing a distinction between the parties of that day; and among many of those who took the oath, it became proverbial, and was called a Continental oath.
On the question for rejecting the clause, it was carried in the negative.
Mr. Benfon then made a motion to strike out the words, "call to witness;" this was agreed to.
Mr. Harrison made a motion to strike out the oath of abjuration; he said that it was unnecessary, as the only power that could have any pretensions on our country, by the Treaty of Peace, had relinquished it forever, and every idea of foreign jurisdiction over these States, had been long since publicly renounced. During the war, the peculiar circumstances of the times had required it; but there was not now any visible necessity for such an oath.
The question was taken on this motion, and lost.
Mr. Harrison then made a motion, to strike out the words "State of New-York," and to insert "the United States of America."
Mr. Jones hoped that the Committee would by no means agree to this alteration; because he thought it would put the matter in such a situation, that no man in his senses could understand it. He did not suppose, that because Congress held the power of making peace and war, that that constituted the sovereignty; if a man was to take up arms to alter the Constitution of the State of New-York, would it not be treason? He would, he said, enumerate a number of instances, wherein the sovereignty of the State existed: In the present state of things, the United States enjoyed only a portion of sovereignty, and so did each individual State. The situation of the United States was not unlike the Empire of Germany, where they took the oath of allegiance to the separate States, and not to the Empire. He conceived, that whatever the People of the State of New-York, in their political capacity, directed a man to do, it was his duty to do it. Gentlemen, he said, had complained of the oath being vague, when confined to the State of New-York; how infinitely more so, would it be, when extended to the United States? In the present situation of affairs, no considerable man could take it.
Mr. Benfon said that the gentleman had mistaken him, in supposing that he had said all the sovereignty was in the United States. He had said that the power of sovereignty to which allegiance was due, was vested in the United States. If it is right for this State to pass a law to compel allegiance as an individual State, will not every other State have an equal right to do the same; and what situation would our country then be in? A man goes to Connecticut, he must take an oath; when he comes back again to New-York he must take another oath; whereas if a man takes an oath to the United States, this difficulty would be avoided; And a man might go into any of the United States and enjoy a perfectly equality of rights. Suppose, said he, the United States were to declare war against France: Suppose New-York should say she would not declare war against France: what situation would a man be in who had sworn allegiance to the State? He should think that he ought,
in that case, to consider France as the public enemy. Such would be the interpretation that he should give his oath; and which an individual would be under the necessity of explaining for himself. A man in consequence may be restrained from taking up arms to change the Constitution; if this was intended by the oath, it should be explained and made more explicit: He then should be made to swear that he would not change the government. If the majority of the people were to say they would change the government, might they not take up arms? The first principle of society is, that the majority govern. In this case he should not consider himself restrained by an oath of allegiance. He said it was impossible to bind individuals to remain unalterably under one government. In his opinion the majority of the people, at their pleasure, could alter the government; now if he understood the matter rightly, no man consented with that oath could ever attempt a change. He therefore contended that if a man must be sworn at all, that the allegiance should be to the United States, for he confessed that he did not know what allegiance he owed New-York, as an individual State.
Mr. Jones thought that the amendment was advocated on mistaken principles. They all agreed that allegiance was due to the sovereignty of the State; he asked who was the sovereign of the State? Was it not the people--of which the Legislature was the representation? Was not this a more explicit oath than when bound to the United States in Congress assembled? If ever the majority should think proper to change the government, he should hold himself bound to go with them, and to bear allegiance to the majority. He maintained that there was not that difficulty and intricacy, which the gentlemen in the opposition had supposed. He readily admitted, that if the United States should declare war against any power, that a man was then bound to consider that power as a public enemy: He did not suppose that every breach of the law was a breach of allegiance; allegiance was only broke when a man took up arms against the sovereignty.
Mr. Harrison was happy that the gentleman had come forward with an explanation of his sentiments. He had now conceded, not only, that the people are the sovereigns of the State, but that they have an undoubted right to alter the government, if they think the alteration conducive to their interest or happiness. In this position, said he, we are perfectly agreed. Mr. Harrison had no doubt in his mind, that the sovereignty of the Individual States rested with the people of them, in all those points which are not ceded to the United States in Congress assembled.
But, Sir, said he, by the Articles of Confederation, many of the most material branches of Sovereignty are vested in the United States; such as the powers of making peace or war, and the right of calling on the several States by requisition for those supplies which the public exigencies may require.
We are now, said he, considering what form of an oath it will be best to prescribe for those who hold the most important offices in the State. Our particular Government does not want any additional security; it is in itself sufficiently strong, and there is no disposition in any of the citizens to disturb or invade it. An oath of fidelity to the State is therefore unnecessary. But, Sir, if we consider oaths as possessing such efficacy as the gentleman supposes, let us apply them where they are most requisite, to the support of the Federal Government. Congress has always experienced severe embarrassments from the delinquencies of many of the States. The national debt is unprovided for, merely from that circumstance. He would not however charge our State in particular with such delinquency. He believed the charge would be less proper when applied to us, than when applied to several other States in the Union. But, said he, we cannot answer for the future, and he would wish that every security might be afforded to the national Government. The welfare and preservation of the Union depend upon it; and it is that part of the Constitution of these States which is most feeble. He was persuaded that if the great officers of Government, and the Representatives of the people were to take an oath of allegiance to the United States, they might be influenced by it in their public conduct, and that it might be attended with beneficial effects. They would then regard themselves as subjects of the Union, obliged to support it in all its just pretensions. In case of a war, they would hold themselves bound by the most sacred obligations to promote the public measures; and in case of a peace, to the strictest observance of the treaty. In short, the requisitions of Congress would then become more effectual, and these States be enabled to provide for the public exigencies, the discharge of their debt, and the preservation of the Union.
These were his reasons why he was disposed to substitute the "United States" in the room of the "State of New-York." A division was called on the question.

Mr. CHILDS, A Number of gentlemen being assembled at the house of Mr. George Rawson, on Wednesday evening last, to spend a social hour; when receiving the pleasing intelligence of the adoption of the New Constitution by the State of Massachusetts; the company being truly Federal, and there being Thirteen present, the following TOASTS were given impromptu , which please give a place in your paper.
 1. The President of the late General Convention.  2. The American worthies whose signatures appear upon the report of the General Convention.  3. May America be as happy under the New Constitution, as she has been successful in the late war.  4. Confusion to the unprincipled opponents of the Federal system.  5. May the enemies to the New Constitution in this State be ashamed to show their faces on the 17th of June next.  6. American Lasses, and Federal measures.  7. May peace and unanimity ever continue among the Federalists.  8. The Majority of the late Convention of Massachusetts.  9. May the rays of the Thirteen Stars shine with superior lustre upon the New Constitution.  10. The Federalists of the State of New-York.  11. The Six Federal States.  12. The worthy Members from the State of New-York who singly persevered to the rising of the General Convention.  13. The 17th September, 1787. 
Mr. CHILDS, THE zeal and activity exhibited by Messrs. Morgan and Young, ship-builders, and B. Coen, sail-maker; who in twenty minutes completed the purchasing, making, painting and hoisting the Massachusetts Flag on the Coffee-House yesterday, when the citizens were announcing their approbation by the discharge of cannon, of the wise, prudent and unexampled conduct of that State upon the proposed Constitution, merits the esteem and friendship of every friend to the new Government; I therefore return them my thanks, wishing them uninterrupted peace, content and plenty; and that they may soon feel the good effects of the cause they advocate.
SINCERUS.
Mr. CHILDS, Be pleased to insert the following in your Daily Advertiser, and you will oblige one of your customers.
THE Watch-men of this City, who were on duty the morning of the 14th inst. are extremely sorry, to have disturbed certain persons from their rest, when by order of their officer, who judged it not only prudent, but extremely necessary, to prevent great and awful consequences, by a delay to order the Fire Bell to give the alarm; they were pleased to curse the Watch-men for a parcel of rascals for making so universal a disturbance, for such a trifling matter. Their feelings as citizens, although Watchmen , are extremely hurt by being so meanly and ungenerously treated, when in the strictest sense they are vigilant and active, and take pleasure, in watching over the lives and property of their fellow-citizens when asleep. Despise not the poor, and think not to trample upon them—they are men.

Mr. CHILDS. IN your paper of yesterday, it appears that Blair M'Clenachan has entered bail to my attachment against his property; the author of the piece mentions me as a pretended creditor; my demand is JUST, and such as will fully appear upon INVESTIGATION, and I am at all times ready for trial, unconnected with party or colleague: Now it may not be amiss to mention, that although the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors, requires proof to be made of only 40l. and upwards being due; my claim is upwards of 800l. specie, and in pursuance of my late attachment, I have brought Blair M'Clenachan from Pennsylvania, so far as has enabled me to institute an action against and hold him to bail here, therefore the suit is still going forward against him; which he could repeatedly have prevented by coming to a fair settlement, being frequently solicited by letter for that purpose, ever since the 30th day of June, 1786. The letters he never answered, but of late returned them unopened. Now I leave the public to decide on the rectitude of my proceedings. It appears they were far from being desirable on my part; but time and circumstances rendered them unavoidable; and as the only method I had of obtaining redress, without being under the necessity of making a journey to Pennsylvania.
The pretended Friend and Colleague of Blair M'Clenachan, is William Neilfor, who, in mentioning in his piece of the 11th current, the word pretended , has wantonly strayed from the truth, as usual. ARCHIBALD BLAIR. New-York. Feb. 11, 1788.

To be SOLD, AN excellent FARM, lying at that noted place called Kinderhook Mills, a mile and a half from town, and six miles from the landing; containing 150 acres of choice land, part thereof is intervale and extraordinary fine meadow, where there is yearly cut thirty ton of good hay, with a beautiful young and old orchard of about 200 trees, part thereof grafted, and the whole excellent fruit. A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor, one story, and a hall high, a fine cellar, a large store ready fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn; a fine stand for trade or any public business, there having a store been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several districts and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated where three roads meet, and is the best stand of trade, I dare say, of any in the country, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door. Also, the convenience of a GRIST MILL, with a fine stream of water, and the half of a new Dutch SAW MILL, adjoining the door, where 3000 logs can be sawed in a season, and plenty of timber. The above place has been let a number of years for about $100. a year, and will now be sold lower than any person can expect, the situation and value considered. Also, a large and elegant BRICK HOUSE, situated at Schodack, on the bank of Hudson's river, 51 feet in length, and 31 in breadth, two stories and a half, high, 4 rooms on a floor, with a kitchen and cellar under the whole, and a fine water lot, the best in Schodack, commands a fine prospect up and down the river of several miles distance, and a fine stand for trade; a new barn, fine well of water, and a beautiful garden spot. Any person chusing to purchase either of the above places, on paying one quarter of the money down, may almost have their own time of payment for the remainder, or goods will be taken at cash price, and a good title will be given for either, or both places. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, living at Kinderhook, or to GEORGE and WILLIAM LUDLOW, New-York. CORNELIUS SEBRING. Jan. 28. tf. raw f
