IN ASSEMBLY, April 19, 1787. THE petition of David M c Master and others, presented to this House on the 10th ult. was again read, setting forth, that Oliver Delancey, James Jauncey, Goldsborough Banyar, and Peter Remsen, in the year 1770, executed conveyances for sundry lots of land in an undivided tract of two thousand acres, lying on the south side of the Mohawk River, granted to Henry Cosby; that several of the conveyances so executed, have never been in the possession of the grantees, who have, nevertheless, sold the lands they possessed; and that the present possessors have paid into the treasury of this State, the proportions of the consideration money which remained due and had become forfeited; that other parts of the said tract of land is possessed by persons who have not purchased, but are solicitous to purchase the title of the people of this State to the same, and praying the interposition of the Legislature in the premises.

On DETRACTION.
THAT mankind in general are too apt to detract from the good name of their neighbour, is a fact which cannot be disputed. There are some persons who would practise the basest methods to elevate themselves to stations they would be incapable of filling with any degree of honor, andasper the worthy character, if they imagined they could enhance their own merit;—but we know that virtue will triumph over the designs of the calumniator, and although his heart is frequently callous to the suggestions of wisdom, he must sometimes be susceptible. Innocence, in the estimation of the world, may suffer from the ungenerous observations of the detractor, but the mind conscious of its rectitude, will rest unhurt amid the base insinuations of the slanderer, and animated by integrity, will stand firm and undaunted.
Calumny is the bane of social life, as it destroys every friendly feeling, it eradicates every generous sentiment of the heart,—when this is encouraged, every noble idea is debased, and the fountain from which issued the pure and gentle stream becomes polluted by an unfriendly poisonous weed.
There are some persons who are so insinuating to the amiable feelings of the heart, that they take pleasure in calumniating the most worthy characters,—and we commonly find this unmanly blemish in grovelling minds.—There are many who are possessed of a genius of misrepresentation . “As waters pure as chrystals from the fountain, frequently are tintured with the minerals through which they pass, so the most harmless expressions, and innocent facts, receive a colouring of baseness from the persons who communicate them.” There are also those under whose tongues dwells the poison of asps, by which, through the fly-whispers of malice, many a fair character has been basely poisoned and destroyed.—These calumniating geniuses,—these pests to social life, are cowards, and act in the dark, so that a man's reputation is frequently stabb'd by some unknown hand, and at a time he little thought of it.—Grant me, kind heaven, at such a time, a friend who will not suffer my reputation to be defamed, and remain indifferent, but who will be assiduous to stop the progress of the daring calumniator.—The occupations of life call us from one situation to another, and often when we are absent, does the defamer lurk around, to destroy, if possible, our reputations; if by so doing he can ingratiate himself into the good opinion of those whose minds are too credulous; and who are apt to form their determinations of a character from what they partially hear.—To such I would observe, that they cannot be your friends who wish to rule in your esteem at the expence of another.—How unsafe is it to listen to the whispers of the defamer, as he must be ungenerous in his conduct, and unprincipled in his sentiments, will he therefore be confided in? and shall we suffer our happiness to depend upon the chicanery of a slanderer, who will prove our enemy? for as he is fickle in his conduct, if we attend to his insinuations we are exposed to his malicious designs.
The man who has a generous soul, whose mind is ennobled by the principles of integrity, never suffers himself to wound the reputation of another; his bosom being warmed with philanthropy, he considers his neighbour's reputation as dear to him as his own;—and should scandal be the topic of the conversation, he would either leave the company, or generously stand forth in the defence of the absent person; and if he could not convince them that scandal has a tendency to viciate the morals, he would look at them with the frown of contempt.—There are many who practise the most sinister views to promote their own happiness, and here let me ask, what kind of happiness is that, which, when indulged to us,—the continuance of it depends upon the false misrepresentations of others?—Is it lasting happiness,—is it suitable to our natures?—and can it quadrat with that pleasure and satisfaction which result from our acting upon the most generous plan? viz. that of veiling the imperfections of our fellow creatures, with the mantle of candor, and wherever we see worth faintly shooting in the shades of obscurity, to diffuse the sunshine of friendship around it.—How dear, how valuable are our reputations, to secure them we would sacrifice even life, and brand the man with eternal infamy, who should dare to suggest any thing that might wound them.—How oft have the tenderest friendships been dissolved by calumny, the disturber of social happiness,—it has created jealousies, obstructed the pleasing intercourse of mutual friends, and casted suspicion to range at large.—The person who delights in calumny, will intrude himself into company, and when he retires will, in the next company he falls into, tell what he has heard, and as an observation never loses any thing by being told from one company to another, but is generally exaggerated, so the calumniator will, in every company he meets with, utter the most cruel speeches possible—his observations may excite a laugh from those whose minds are as contracted as his own, but the generous man will view him with contempt.
Plato reckons a defamer among madmen, “there are (says he) several sorts of madmen, some are chained in their beds; others, by a depravity of nature, by bad nourishment, and a weakness of mind, are enraged against each other, and tear to pieces the reputation of those by whom they think themselves injured.” Herodotus looks upon detraction as very injurious to a state in general, and observes, that in calumniating, there are always two that are injurious and one who suffers, viz. the detractor who throws his dirt, the man who listens with pleasure to it, and the person against whom their malice is directed—men wounded in their reputations must in a manner be more than men to overcome their resentment, and we see by daily experience, that gentlemen, men of honor, esteem their lives cheap when in comparison with their character.
While there are many who despise the slanderer, let them be careful that they are uniform in their conduct, while they endeavor to cultivate benevolence; it becomes them to practise every thing that is amiable and good, then will you have the applauding smile of Heaven, a conscientious of your own rectitude will defend you from the shafts of calumny, and though they may slightly wound the bosom of sensibility, yet virtue with all her pleasing charms will blunt their edge, and when nature drops the inevitable tear, reason will crown your tombs with triumphant laurels. PLATO.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 25.
News is received from the Captain Pacha, of a late engagement in Egypt, in which the Ottoman arms gained a decisive victory over the rebels, when several of the Bays were slain. Murat and Ibrahim, after having lost all their followers and treasure, were forced to seek refuge among the mountains separating the Nile from the Red Sea, from whence, according to the opinion generally entertained in Egypt, no fugitive has yet been known to return, it being supposed that all persons going thither either perish through want of common necessaries of life, or were massacred by the Arabs inhabiting some parts of that barren country. When the couriers set out with the above intelligence, the Captain Pacha was preparing to embark; and according to all appearance he will soon arrive with the valuable treasures he has acquired.
LEYDEN, June 6.
The Council of the town of Leyden have passed a resolution to charge the Deputies to the States of Holland, to vote for the absolute suspension of William V. from his offices, of which he had proved himself so unworthy; to retain all his appointments, and not to contribute any finance whatsoever to the Generality. The other towns, which form the majority of the States of Holland, have already passed or are just about to pass, similar resolutions. So that we may soon expect to see Holland obliged to dissolve the Union, and form an independent Republic, if William V. persists in destroying civil liberty.
LONDON, June 6—13.
Late on Sunday evening dispatches were received from Holland, which occasioned a Cabinet Council to be immediately held. The following is stated to be the purport of the intelligence received; That in consequence of the declaration of the Prince of Orange being published, a counter-manifesto was drawn up by the faction in opposition to his Highness; and from Utrecht, the city wherein it originated, it was circulated with rapidity through the different provinces. The contents of this Manifesto are, first , a positive denial of most of the assertions contained in the declaration of his Highness the Stadholder; secondly , a direct crimination of his Highness as the sole cause of the present dissensions, and, by implications, arraigning him as the enemy of his country; thirdly , an appeal to the people of the several provinces in favor of the measures already taken, which are averred to have been absolutely necessary for the preservation of their liberties; fourthly , an invitation to every well-wisher to the United Provinces, to come forward in the present crisis of affairs, and effectually lend their assistance; and fifthly , the Manifesto announces a solemn determination to persist even to blood, in what is termed the cause of liberty, and against the usurpations, as they are deemed, of his highness the Stadholder, whom the faction have the indecency to brand with the appellative of tyrant. Such is in substance the counter-manifesto of a desperate cabal, whose conduct, proceeding from bad to worse, will inevitably occasion the worst of evils which can befall any country—a Civil War.
The King of Prussia has sent notice to the Dutch, that if they do not restore his relation the Stadholder to his rights and privileges, he will immediately send 20,000 men into Holland to protect him. The States have ordered this message to be taken into consideration; but from the present violent animosities that have taken place, it is impossible to conjecture what steps they will pursue. It is generally imagined that much more blood must be shed before tranquillity can be restored. The officers of the Dutch navy in general take part with the Stadholder.
The Heir Apparent to the throne of Denmark, neglecting or despising the pleasures usually pursued with avidity by young men of his years, devotes the greatest part of his time in the study of those arts which may best qualify him to reign over a considerable kingdom, with credit to himself, and happiness to those who may one day be his subjects. His Royal Highness, wisely judging that it is easier to train up the rising generation in the pursuits most conducive to the comforts and happiness of civil life, than to reform the inveterate habits of mature age, has commissioned Professor Sevel to travel over Germany and Switzerland, for the purpose of examining into the various establishments in those countries for the education of youth. This learned gentleman is directed to correspond monthly with his Royal Highness, and on his return the Prince and he are to digest a new system of education for the use of all the schools, seminaries and colleges of Denmark and Norway.
The French Wine Merchants have acted with very bad policy since the opening of the French and English ports for an amicable interchange of merchandise. Portugal has had the monopoly of the English wine market for so long a time, and the people of England have been so long used to the strong and heavy wine of that country, that nothing could beat it out of the market, or bring the light and weaker, though more pleasant wines of France, into the general use in this kingdom but their extreme cheapness. It was the interest, therefore, of the French to keep the prices of their wines as low as possible at the outlet, to the end that they might rival the Portuguese in our markets. But instead of following this line, which both interest and policy would point out, the merchants at Bourdeaux immediately on the ratification of the Commercial Treaty, raised the price of claret 25 per cent. higher than it was, when their wine was subject to an almost prohibitory duty in England. The consequences will naturally be, that port wine will not only maintain its ground, but will in fact gain ground, as the reduction of the duty, and consequent lowering of the price, will bring it more within the reach of persons who had hitherto found it too dear a luxury for their consumption.
Upwards of an hundred Dutch families have come to England within the last three weeks, with a view of settling here, where their lives and property are secure; which was by no means the case in the distracted country which they have abandoned.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) July 14.
Last Tuesday evening a large Spanish Schooner arrived at Port-Royal, and was seized the next morning by a certain Custom-House officer upon the most frivolous pretences. It seems her commander had shipped at Carthagena fifty tons of Nicaragua wood, and 25,000 dollars, and proceeded to Hispaniola, where he laid out one half of the money in French claret, and liquors for the use of a certain truly dignified personage in the kingdom of Santa Fee, which, with the wood, and the remainder of the money he brought here. Immediately after he came to an anchor, having learnt that a Custom-House officer was at Port-Royal, he went on shore and gave the officer an unreserved account of his cargo, observing at the same time he had not the most distant intention to land any of the French goods, and offered to give any security that none of them should be sent ashore, but only desired to know if he might be permitted to lay out his money and sell the Nicaragua wood, otherwise he declared his resolution to leave the port next morning. The officer gave him an evasive answer, and early in the morning carried a party of soldiers on board, who took possession of the vessel in the King's name. Such unhandsome severities may be exactly adapted to the gratification of individual avarice, but what is to become of the trade of the island if they are suffered by the mercantile people without animadversion.
BRIDGE-TOWN, July, 14. BARBADOES. By His Excellency. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by an act passed in the last Session of the Parliament of Great-Britain, entitled, “An act to continue the laws now in force for regulating the trade between the subjects of his Majesty's dominions, and the inhabitants of the territories belonging to the United States of America, and to render the provisions thereof more effectual,” it is in the second clause of the said act enacted, that no flour, bread, rice, wheat, or grain of any sort, and no slaves, heading, shingles, or lumber of any sort, shall be imported or brought into any island under the dominion of his Majesty in the West-Indies, (in which description the Bahama islands, and the Bermuda or Somers islands are included) from any island under the dominion of any foreign European sovereign and State.
His Majesty (ever anxious for the prosperity and welfare of his people) hath notwithstanding been graciously pleased to take into his royal consideration the necessity there may be to allow the merchants, factors and traders a certain time to furnish themselves with proper ships and vessels for carrying on trade and commerce directly to the United States of America; which indulgence has been made known to me by my Lord Sydney, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, in his last dispatches.
Now in order and to the end that the same may be publicly known, I do hereby issue this my proclamation and notice, that all ships and vessels built and navigated according to law, that shall arrive within any of the ports of this government, and import into the same any flour, bread, rice, wheat, or grain of any sort, slaves, heading, shingles or lumber of any sort, from the day of the date hereof unto the first day of October next , shall be admitted to entry from any island in the West-Indies: Provided , that such articles or cargoes shall bona fide belong to the subjects of the British empire; and not claimed under any mental reservations or false pretensions whatsoever; not sold upon commission for the benefit of foreigners, nor accompanied by prohibited articles, to the manifest detriment of his Majesty's liege subjects, and the fair traders of this island.
But public notice is at the same time hereby given, that from and after the said first day of October, the said act will be in full force, and none of the articles aforesaid admitted, except in cases of public emergency and distress; which I shall at all times be studious to prevent, and ready to alleviate, under the powers reposed in me by the third clause of the said act.
Given at Pilgrim, under my hand and seal at arms, this 14th day of July, 1787, and in the 27th year of his Majesty's reign. D. PARRY.
UNITED STATES.
PORTSMOUTH, August 18.
On Wednesday last arrived here the sloop Dolphin , Capt. Coffin, from St. Bartholomew. Capt. Coffin was informed by a number of English Captains, who were there purchasing lumber, &c. out of the American vessels, that the British government had contracted with several merchants, for upwards of 15,000 tons of shipping to be employed in voyages to the several parts of this continent, in order to procure supplies for their West-India islands.
New-York, August 31.
Last week was taken up in Albany, Lieut. Col. J. Farrington —This is the person charged by a number of gentlemen in the town of Boston, of having forged their names as acceptors and indorsers to sundry promissory notes, which he had presented to the Massachusetts bank for discount; and for whose apprehension, a reward of 400 dollars was offered by the president and directors of the said bank, by their advertisement of 7th current. Said Farrington delivered up effects to some gentlemen in this city to the amount of between 5 and 600 dollars; and, as his conduct was not fully known, he was permitted to return to Boston under the guard of a single gentleman only.
Tuesday arrived his Most Christian Majesty's packet, No. 9, Robert de Rougemont, Esq. Commander, from Havre de Grace, in 62 days.
In her came passengers, Messieurs Fox, De la Naudiere, Saugrain de Vigny, Pic, Uzore, and Mallet.
Private letters from Europe mention that the oppressed and persecuted in every country, look with great eagerness to the United States in the present awful crisis of her affairs. Should the new federal government be adopted, thousands would embark immediately for America. Holland would pour in with her merchants, a large quantity of cash among us. Germany, and Ireland would send us colonies of cultivators of the earth, while England and Scot-
land would fill our towns and cities with industrious mechanics and manufacturers.—With the liberties, safety, population, and glory of our country, all depending upon the adoption of a national government, that man must be a greater enemy to his country than Hutchinson or Arnold , who for selfish or party purposes, advises his countrymen to reject it.
On Thursday last a brig, commanded by Capt. Davis, arrived at Philadelphia from Cape Francois. She brings accounts, that before she left the Cape, an express had arrived there, informing government that the civil war in Holland had arisen to the greatest excess; and France and Britain had each of them sent ten sail of the line into the Texel to countenance their respective parties. It is probable from these appearances that the war will soon become general throughout Europe.
By another brig, arrived at the same place from Port-au-Prince, we are informed that there has been a very heavy gale in the West-Indies. Capt. Earle, who commanded this vessel, fell in with a large French wreck on the Hog-flys, and took 38 persons on board. She was chiefly laded with sugar.
One of the first objects with the national government to be elected under the new constitution, it is said, will be providing funds for the payment of the national debt, and thereby to restore the credit of the United States which has been so much impaired by the individual States. Every holder of a public security of any kind is, therefore, deeply interested in the cordial reception, and speedy establishment of a vigorous continental government.—By letters and private accounts from most of the counties in Pennsylvania, we learn that the good people of that State, of all parties, are alike prepared and disposed to receive the new federal government. It is remarkable that Pennsylvania has in every great and necessary measure, set an example of a federal disposition to all the States.
The ship Lucy , in 23 days from Glasgow, which arrived at Halifax the first inst. brought news-papers to June 18th last. These contain accounts, that the civil dissensions which have for some time past unhappily prevailed in Holland, are rapidly approaching to a crisis, which will probably involve consequences the most disagreeable to humanity—all order and government were annihilated in most of the provinces, where the parties carried their vindictive resentments towards each other so far as reciprocally to execute all those who fell into their hands, who had taken any active part against them, and that it was the general opinion France, England, and Prussia, would be unavoidably obliged to take part in the contention.
The English Parliament have constituted the following free ports; Savannah le Mar, Montego Bay and St. Lucia, in Jamaica, and Roseau, in Dominica.
On the 16th inst. the corner stone of a Light-House was laid at M c Nutt's Head, the entrance of Shelburne, Nova-Scotia-Harbour.
Arrived on Tuesday last, the schooner Eagle , Capt. Wilson, in 31 days from Montego-bay, Jamaica, on his passage the 13th inst. in lat. 23. 51. spoke the ship Alfred , Captain Stupert, bound for London, in a very leaky condition, having struck upon a rock the night before and unhung the rudder. Capt. Wilson took her in tow, in order, if possible, to proceed with her for Charleston, S. C. On the 14th in the morning, the wind blowing very hard, saw the Florida shores close under his lee, which obliged him to cut the Alfred's hawser and leave her; at the same time he found it impossible to weather the land himself, and was obliged to wear and run in between two reefs of rocks and come to anchor. The Alfred , nearly at the same time wear ship, in order to get within the reefs, but unfortunately struck on them and beat over; she immediately funk in sixteen feet water. The ship is totally lost and most of her cargo.
At the same place Capt. Wilson saw the ship Albion , Capt. Whitehead, bound from Jamaica to London, entirely lost—a small part of her cargo will be saved by the wreckers—he likewise saw there the ship Flora , of Bristol, also from Jamaica, on shore, though likely to get off with little damage.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated Aug. 20. “A number of counterfeit HALF GUINEAS , of the English coin, have been discovered in circulation here, and we have reason to suppose the person who passed them here is now in New-York, probably with a design to pass off as many as possible. They are so exact a counterfeit in appearance, that they cannot easily be detected, but by the want of weight and cutting into them. They appear to be copper neatly plated with gold, and dated 1781.”
We hear from Philadelphia, that some evenings since, a son of Neptune happened to fall in company with some women of bad fame, who strongly invited him with them, to which he consented, and they took him to a house, where they gave him wine with sleeping drops, which gave him a sleep for 24 hours, during which time they robbed him of his money and then decamped.
Extract of a letter written by an English gentleman at Amsterdam, dated June 1.
“Never did I behold a scene that bore so exact a resemblance to what passed in London about seven years since, than has for some days been acted here, and even now is neither at an end, nor in any probability of being speedily settled. If you substitute! No Orange! No Tyrant! for No Popery! you have the public cry, and the general libel of the day. The tailors, a hardy, and when heated, a cruel and inveterate race, have been the chief actors on these occasions, and their body is numerous, there being so many vessels here which cannot get away for the tumults, the Dutch Scheedemackers refusing to go on board their ships. Great fears have been entertained for the dock yard, the ship-wrights having joined, and in some instances headed the insurrections; but the apprehensions on that head are now subsiding, as there is a guard of 4000 chosen men, burghers, &c. to prevent the mischiefs that might ensue. There is no walking the streets without being armed. The accusations of that kind must be disguised, as no person but the military and town guard may appear here EN MILITAIRE. I long to be away from hence; nothing but my property, which is chiefly in stores, prevents me leaving a place, the worst to live in at present of any perhaps in the known world. The noblemen, merchants, or whose residences are in this neighbourhood, have armed all their servants, or such as can be entrusted, to defend their property. From a Dutch mob, may I be delivered.”

Saturday last being the day for the feast of St. Lewis; the same was celebrated by every public demonstration of joy, by the squadron of his Most Christian Majesty, now lying in the harbour of Boston.
The following toasts were announced under the discharge of cannon from all the ships in the harbour: 1 His Most Christian Majesty. 21 Guns. 2 The United States. 13 do. 3 Governor and Commonwealth. 13 do. 4 Perpetual Alliance between France & America. 5 Federal Convention. 6 General Washington and the Society of Cincinnati. 7 The Navigation and Trade of America. 8 Peace and Unanimity throughout America. 9 The memory of those who have fought and bled for their country. 10 The patriots who projected the American revolution. 11 The late federal army—may America never want another as brave and disinterested to defend her freedom. 12 May the States be as happy in peace as their citizens have been virtuous and successful in war. 13 The American ladies—may the men be as brave as the women are fair.
The day was concluded by the discharge of 21 guns from each ship in the fleet. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Barbadoes, dated July 24. “By a fresh act of Parliament, no negroes, as sailors, are admitted to work on board of square rigged vessels, under forfeiture of vessel and cargo; therefore guard against it.”

Messrs. LOUDON, As the truth of the following extracts may be fully depended upon, and as I conceive the subject may greatly tend to display the glory of the Redeemer's grace, you will oblige a friend by giving them a place in your paper. Virginia, July 11, 1786.
My Dear Brother, I MUST inform you of the glorious work which has lately been done in this State, as I know it will afford you great joy. Mr. E. and Mr. J. came into Brunswick circuit seven weeks ago last Sunday, and I verily believe, 300 souls have found peace with God since that time. The first Sunday 6, the next 21, and the fourth Sunday about 35. I believe no person ever saw such a work in any one circuit; it is not in one or two places, but quite around. It seems, if it continues, there will be very few excepted. The people in general, at first, flew from the power, and said it was the work of the devil; yet afterwards they would come to see and bring others with them, and many of those very persecutors would be struck to the ground, and lie as though they were dead for hours. This would convince others; and so the work was carried on. Back-sliders and persons of various ages are brought to God: Five, ten and twenty are converted in a day. Mr. E. has four or five hundred hearers every week day, and on Sundays thousands. Last Sunday, at the Methodist Church, near M. Maybrey's, it was supposed he had three or four thousands. Such a day I never saw, and I believe never was seen in America. There is a great work in Sussex, under Mr. C. and Mr. G. a young preacher, who has only travelled since last conference. O what a wonderful thing is faith. Glory be to God! O my brother, let us praise him. Yours's, &c. D. T.
Petersburg, 15th July, 1787. Dear Brother, THE Lord is carrying on the greatest work through Brunswick, Mecklenburg and Sussex, which perhaps was ever known in any day. Three or four thousand souls attend the preaching in country places on the Sabbath day. It is supposed that between three and four hundred have been converted to God in Brunswick, since the last Methodist conference. About 200 in Sussex, and it is supposed 7000 are under deep conviction. I hear the work is very great in New-Hope, and many other places to the south. Oh! my dear brother, how can we sufficiently praise God for all his mercies? I am your's, &c. G. D.
This is a most extraordinary work of God, considering that it was all wrought by his Grace in the space of but a few weeks. It looks like the dawn of some glorious period. How ought all the pious to unite their prayers, that the Lord may also say to the north, “give up.” Are there not thousands and thousands in this part of the country, who live as if there were no God. Let Christians then drop all discord and party-spirit, and unite their hearts in prayer to God, that all may experience sound conversion and have their sins blotted out, now this time of refreshing is coming from the presence of the Lord. Amen.

PASTE-BOARD Sold by the Printers.
Respecting Burns's Poems. THE fame of this author is spreading rapidly, and the merit of his works is acknowledged by all who have had an opportunity of seeing them. The demand for these poems was so great, that the whole of the first edition (only published last May) were sold in a few weeks, and the second edition is already printed in London. Price six shillings, sterling, in boards. The following criticism is extracted from the Lounger, a recent and much esteemed periodical publication:— “I know not if I shall be accused of partiality, when I introduce to notice a poet of our own country, with whose writings I have lately become acquainted; but if I am not greatly deceived, I think I may safely pronounce him a genius of no ordinary rank. The person to whom I allude is ROBERT BURNS, an Ayrshire Ploughman, whose poems were some time ago published in a country town in the west of Scotland, with no other ambition, it would seem, than to circulate among the inhabitants of the country where he was born, to obtain a little fame from those who had heard of his talents. I hope I shall not be thought to assume too much, if I endeavor to place him in a higher point of view, to call for a verdict of his country on the merit of his works, and to claim for him those honors which their excellence appears to deserve. “His poem entitled, ‘The Vision,’ discovers a high tone of feeling, a power and energy of expression, particularly and strongly characteristic of the mind and voice of a poet. Of strains like the above poem, solemn and sublime, with that rapture and inspired melancholy in which the poet lifts his eye ‘above this visible diurnal sphere,’ the poems entitled ‘the Despondency,’ ‘the Lament,’ ‘Winter, a Dirge,’ and the ‘Invocation to Ruin,’ afford no less striking examples. Of the tender and the moral, specimens equally advantageous might be drawn from the elegiac verses, entitled, ‘Man was made to mourn,’ from ‘The Cotter's Saturday Night,’ the stanzas ‘To a Moise,’ or those ‘To a Mountain Daisy.’—The power of genius is not less admirable in tracing the manners, than in painting the passions, or in drawing the scenery of nature. Whoever will read his lighter and more humorous poems, his ‘Dialogue of the Dogs,’ his ‘Dedication to G—— H——, Esq.’ his ‘Epistle to a young Friend,’ and ‘To W. S——n,’ will perceive with what uncommon penetration and sagacity this Heaven-taught ploughman, from his humble and unlettered station, has looked upon men and manners. “Burns possesses the spirit as well as the fancy of a Poet. That honest pride and independence of soul, which are sometimes the muse's only dowry, break forth on every occasion in his works.”

At a Court of Probates of the State of New-York, held at the Probate office in the city of New-York, on the 29th day of August, in the year of our Lord, 1787:
P R E S E N T, The Hon. Peter Ogilvie Esq. Judge of the said Court: WHEREAS John Gardiner, jun. administrator of John Cane, late of Southold in the county of Suffolk, joiner, deceased, hath by his petition presented to the said Judge set forth, that the said John Cane was at the time of his death, seized of a real estate within this State, that the petitioner had made a just & true account of the personal estate and debts of the said John Cane, as far as he had been able to discover the same, & that thereby it appeared that the personal estate of his said intestate was insufficient to pay his debts, and therefore requested the aid of the said Judge in the premises, according to the directions of the act entitled, “An act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates;” and the said petitioner hath delivered to the said Judge the account in the said petition mentioned: Hereupon it is ordered by the said Judge, that all persons interested in the estate of the said John Cane, do appear before the Judge of the said Court of Probates, at the Probate-Office in the city of New-York, on the 17th day of October next, to show cause if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said John Cane died seized, should not be sold as will be sufficient to pay his debts. 1 28 4 PETER OGILVIE.

Mutual Assurance Company. For insuring HOUSES from LOSS by FIRE in New-York. WHEREAS the insuring of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, has been found of great and public utility wherever it has been practised; and although societies, have been instituted in different places, yet none have hitherto been formed in this city for that laudable and beneficent purpose. A number of respectable citizens, as well for their own mutual security as for the common security and advantage of their neighbours and fellow-citizens, with the view of promoting the insurance of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, upon the most equal terms, and without any views of private or separate gain or interest, have established a company by the name of The Mutual Assurance Company, For Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire in New-York. The utility of an institution in its purpose so laudable, cannot fail to attract the notice of every citizen being of so great importance to the security of property and the happiness of families, that it is presumed that no person of prudence will be found to neglect it. The office is now opened at No. 57, King-street, where such persons as incline to insure their houses and other buildings, may, on application, receive every necessary information.

Thomas Burling, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the sign of the CHAIR, near the Chapel, in Beekman-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Warehouse of Mahogany and other Furniture, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city, and as he has laid in a flock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work sells at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed-Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. 89

vs. Jacob Milligan, Defendant.
FORASMUCH as it appeareth to this Court, that a suit hath been commenced herein by Augustus Van Cortlandt, mortgagee, against Jacob Milligan, heir at law of John Milligan, mortgagor: Whereupon process of subpoena to answer, hath been duly issued and returned, and the said mortgagor hath not caused his appearance to be entered, as according to the rules of this Court, the same ought to have been entered in case the said process had been duly served, and an affidavit hath been made to the satisfaction of this Court; that the said mortgagor is withdrawn out of this State, or could not upon due enquiry be found within the same, so as to be served with the said process. It is thereupon ordered, on motion of Mr. Hamilton, of Counsel for the complainant, that the said Jacob Milligan do appear to the said suit, on or before the tenth day of September next ensuing; and that in default thereof, the complainant's said bill be taken pro confesso to the end that a decree be made for a sale of the mortgaged premises, or so much thereof as to this Court shall seem just and right: And it is further ordered, that a copy of this order be inserted, in at least two of the public news-papers, printed in this State, for the term of eight weeks.
