The FEDERALIST, No. 2.
To the People of the State of New-York.
WHEN the people of America reflect that they are now called upon to decide a question, which, in its consequences, must prove one of the most important, that ever engaged their attention, the propriety of their taking a very comprehensive, as well as a very serious view of it, will be evident.
Nothing is more certain than the indispensable necessity of government, and it is equally undeniable, that whenever and however it is instituted, the people must cede to it some of their natural rights, in order to vest it with requisite powers. It is well worthy of consideration therefore, whether it would conduce more to the interest of the people of America, that they should, to all general purposes, be one nation, under one federal government, or that they should divide themselves into separate confederacies, and give to the head of each, the same kind of powers which they are advised to place in one national government.
It has until lately been a received and uncontradicted opinion, that the prosperity of the people of America depended on their continuing firmly united, and the wishes, prayers and efforts of our best and wisest citizens have been constantly directed to that object. But Politicians now appear, who insist that this opinion is erroneous, and that instead of looking for safety and happiness in union, we ought to seek it in a division of the States into distinct confederacies or sovereignties. However extraordinary this new doctrine may appear, it nevertheless has its advocates; and certain characters who were much opposed to it formerly, are at present of the number—Whatever may be the arguments or inducements, which have wrought this change in the sentiments and declarations of these gentlemen, it certainly would not be wise in the people at large to adopt these new political tenets, without being fully convinced that they are founded in truth and sound policy.
It has often given me pleasure to observe, that independent America was not composed of detached and distant territories, but that one connected, fertile, wide spreading country was the portion of our western fons of liberty. Providence has in a particular manner blessed it with a variety of soils and productions, and watered it with innumerable streams, for the delight and accommodation of its inhabitants. A succession of navigable waters forms a kind of chain round its borders, as if to bind it together; while the most noble rivers in the world, running at convenient distances, present them with highways for the easy communication of friendly aids, and the mutual transportation and exchange of their various commodities.
With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice, that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country, to one united people, a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established their general liberty and independence.
This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous and alien sovereignties.
Similar sentiments have hitherto prevailed among all orders and denominations of men among us—To all general purposes we have uniformly been one people—each individual citizen every where enjoying the same national rights, privileges and protection—as a nation we have made peace and war—as a nation we have vanquished our common enemies—as a nation we have formed alliances and made treaties, and entered into various compacts and conventions with foreign States.
A strong sense of the value and blessings of union induced the people, at a very early period, to institute a federal government to preserve and perpetuate it—They formed it almost as soon as they had a political existence; nay at a time, when their habitations were in flames, when many of their citizens were bleeding, and when the progress of hostility and desolation left little room for those calm and mature enquiries and reflections, which must ever precede the formation of a wise and well balanced government for a free people—It is not to be wondered at that a government instituted in times so inauspicious, should, on experiment, be found greatly deficient & inadequate to the purpose it was intended to answer.
This intelligent people perceived and regretted these defects. Still continuing no less attached to union, than enamoured of liberty, they observed the danger, which immediately threatened the former and more remotely the latter; and being persuaded that ample security for both, could only be found in a national government more wisely framed, they, as with one voice, convened the late Convention at Philadelphia, to take that important subject under consideration.
This Convention, composed of men who possessed the confidence of the people, and many of whom had become highly distinguished by their patriotism, virtue and wisdom, in times which tried the minds and hearts of men, undertook the arduous task—In the mild season of peace, with minds unoccupied by other subjects, they passed many months in cool uninterrupted and daily consultations; and finally, without having been awed by power, or influenced by any passions except love for their country, they presented and recommended to the people the plan produced by their joint and very unanimous counsels.
Admit, for so it is the fact, that this plan is only recommended, not imposed, yet let it be remembered, that it is neither recommended to blind approbation, nor to blind reprobation; but to that sedate and candid consideration, which the magnitude and importance of the subject demands, and which it certainly ought to receive—But this, (as was remarked in the foregoing number of this Paper,) is more to be wished than expected that it may be so considered and examined—Experience on a former occasion teaches us not to be too sanguine in such hopes. It is not yet forgotten, that
well grounded apprehensions of imminent danger induced the people of America to form the Memorable Congress of 1774—That Body recommended certain measures to their Constituents, and the event proved their wisdom; yet it is fresh in our memories how soon the Press began to teem with Pamphlets and weekly Papers against those very measures—Not only many of the officers of government who obeyed the dictates of personal interest, but others from a mistaken estimate of consequences, or the undue influence of former attachments, or whose ambition aimed at objects which did not correspond with the public good, were indefatigable in their endeavours to persuade the people to reject the advice of that Patriotic Congress—Many indeed were deceived and deluded, but the great majority of the people reasoned and decided judiciously; and happy they are in reflecting that they did so.
They considered that the Congress was composed of many wise and experienced men—That being convened from different parts of the country, they brought with them and communicated to each other a variety of useful information—That in the course of the time they passed together in enquiring into and discussing the true interests of their country, they must have acquired very accurate knowledge on that head—That they were individually interested in the public liberty and prosperity, and therefore that it was not less their inclination, than their duty, to recommend only such measures, as after the most mature deliberation they really thought prudent and advisable.
These and similar considerations then induced the people to rely greatly on the judgment and integrity of the Congress; and they took their advice, notwithstanding the various arts and endeavours used to deter and dissuade them from it. But if the people at large had reason to confide in the men of that Congress, few of whom had then been fully tried or generally known, still greater reason have they now to respect the judgment and advice of the Convention, for it is well known that some of the most distinguished members of that Congress, who have been since tried and justly approved for patriotism and abilities, and who have grown old in acquiring political information, were also members of this Convention, and carried into it their accumulated knowledge and experience.
It is worthy of remark that not only the first, but every succeeding Congress, as well as the late Convention, have invariably joined with the people in thinking that the prosperity of America depended on its union. To preserve and perpetuate it, was the great object of the people in forming that Convention, and it is also the great object of the plan which the Convention has advised them to adopt. With what propriety therefore, or for what good purposes, are attempts at this particular period, made by some men, to depreciate the importance of the union? or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one? I am persuaded in my own mind, that the people have always thought right on this subject, and that their universal and uniform attachment to the cause of the union, rests on great and weighty reasons, which I shall endeavour to develop and explain in some ensuing papers—They who promote the idea of substituting a number of distinct confederacies in the room of the plan of the Convention, seem clearly to foresee that the rejection of it would put the continuance of the union in the utmost jeopardy—that certainly would be the case, and I sincerely wish that it may be as clearly foreseen by every good citizen, that whenever the dissolution of the union arrives, America will have reason to exclaim in the words of the Poet, "Farewell, a long Farewell, to all my Greatness."
PUBLIUS.
Messrs. PRINTERS,
I SUSPECTED indeed, that my remarks on the Rector's sermon would be construed by some into an affectation of wit, because they were not likely to relish the subject of the jest. I have been called by one of the would be quity Paulus, and the Domine in Childs' paper, has made his old woman laugh so immoderately at my expeuce, that I am afraid she will fall into hysterics.—It is but justice to inform the public, that this last writer is greatly mistaken as to the author of the pieces to which he refers, and that he has unjustly and illiberally attacked a worthy and peaceable Clergyman. Could I have conceived that my remarks would have been imputed to him, and that I should have been the occasion of the Domine's silly effusion, I would have, probably, restrained my pen. This respectable and liberal Clergyman, however, is far superior to such abuse, and will, no doubt, hold it and the author in the most sovereign contempt.
I thought ridiculous the most proper method of treating the subject, and I was not solicitous for using the finest edge, well knowing it to be vain and fruitless to hew a block with a razor after flourishing a little to try my weapons. I shall choose at length such as I think myself best able to manage. I judge it proper to assure my readers, that in naming that ancient and remarkable man, Shaint Patrick , I did not design the least reflection on his character, from the respect which is paid to his memory. I rather take him to have been as good a Bishop , and as worthy a man as any of us. He certainly was wiser than Serpents , otherwise he could not have destroyed the race.
This sermon of the Rector, had not been worth a thought, had it not been preached in the presence of his Bishop and the other Clergy, & was supposed to be a declaration of their sentiments. In this, I have not been mistaken from what has appeared under the signature of Astyanax , and on which I shall make a few remarks. If this writer heard the sermon, as I believe he did, and will please to recollect a little more, he will find that the terms sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy , were not confined as he asserts, to those who presume to officiate as Ministers of the Gospel without any external mode of designation. They were very absurd even on this supposition; but they were applied to all ministering under any other ordination than that practised in the Episcopal church. A subterfuge of this kind is altogether unavailing, & is only adding to the insult.
I have enquired more particularly since, about the expressions which were used. The Rector after telling his audience, that he would step a side from his text, proposed, in substance, first, to prove the necessity of a Divine mission, in order to preach the gospel, and then, that this Divine and only valid mission was to be obtained by ordination in the Episcopal church. After a variety of strange after-
tions, such as, that Abraham, Aaron, and others were thus ordained, he proceeded to his second and grand point. It was here that he asserted, the caral propagation of the Jewish priesthood, and the spiritual propagation under the gospel,—that priests had power to beget children, and Bishops to beget fathers for the church . He further asserted, that the ministrations of all not thus begotten, were ( O strange! ) injurious to God and quite useless to the people . He compared their conduct to one guilty of forgery in sealing a bond without proper authority; yea, that notwithstanding any pretended ordination, they were guilty , as has been said, of sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy . Then followed the long story of the serpent.
How can Astyanax after hearing all this, talk of a 'new mode of impeachment from what is not said?' Is not this reproaching in the highest degree, I will say, blaspheming his fellow christians? Why does he tell us of 'half a dozen words offensive to a very refined and delicate ear?' It is not of slovenly composition, or coarse expressions I complain, but of outrage and insult. I had rather indeed gather the flowers of Astyanax , than the weeds of the Rector ; but I expect from both, charity which is the bond of perfectness . A 'well intended endeavour' I commend, but a despicable and spiteful one I despise .
The observation of this writer with respect to the 'coarse expressions to be found in extemporaneous prayer or sermons,' is neither very liberal, nor much to his purpose. In such discourses, there is always an allowance which is not made to those which are written and read. I with the friends of the Rector could say that his sermon was extemporaneous ; and even then they would have reason to be ashamed of it. The Presbyterian preachers, or those of any other denomination, will give Astyanax liberty, I presume, whenever any of them are guilty of such notorious abuse, whether extemporaneous or written, to tell them of it. I take the liberty of informing this gentleman, that I have heard from Presbyterian pulpits, as sentimental, accurate and elegant discourses, without a single note before the preachers, as I ever heard in an Episcopal pulpit, where the discourse was read; and I have frequented both churches.
'It is very well known, (says the author) that Episcopalians consider no ordinations as valid but those which are made by Bishops .' Neither do I, but then we will differ, if ever we should enter upon that subject, as to those who are to be accounted the scripture bishops.
I have only further to remark, that his insinuation, with respect to the envious and ambitious views of some of the other clergy, 'because they themselves cannot rise to the same superiority,' is ill-founded. They only wish, I apprehend, to keep their Episcopal Brethren from exposing themselves, by taking foolish airs. They believe that Episcopalians will 'not interfere with other denominations,' because other denominations will not suffer them; but they are ready to stare at odd freaks, as Martin and Luther did at their brother Peter , when he attempted to persuade them that a sixpenny brown loaf was generous wine, and a shoulder of mutton.
Upon the whole, I wish that there may be a speedy end to this unhappy affair—that all professing christians may think justly and act wisely—and that I never may have occasion to appear again under the signature of PAULUS.

DUBLIN, August 24.
The following very remarkable instance of honesty in a poor, and seemingly distressed person, deserves to be recorded. Saturday morning last a private gentleman, who lives not too miles from Aungier-street, standing at his door, was accosted by a man about forty years old, with a tattered blue coat, who asked, 'If such a person did not own that house?' 'Yes (answered the owner) what do you want with him?' 'Why, Sir (said the stranger) here is a note payable to you by the Bank, which I found about eight last night.' 'Where?' replied the gentleman, 'Where did you pass (answered the stranger) at that time?' 'I came (said the other) from Chapel-street, over the bridge, through Essex-street, Eustace, and Great George's-streets, straight home, on the left side of the way, all along.' 'Then the note is yours' (replied the man) for I found it on the step of the Meeting-house in Eustace-street.' The gentleman looked in his pocket-book, and perceived his loss, though he could not recollect the number, having omitted to take it down. The note might have been discounted, being payable to the bearer only, and was for 781. 9s. 2d. The gentleman, astonished at so extraordinary an example of integrity in a wretched object, brought him into the parlour, gave him a bumper of wine with a piece of bread, which he greedily devoured; the gentleman then presented him with five guineas, which the poor creature received with grateful exultation, crying out, 'the Lord be praised, this money is my own.' We are not at liberty to mention farther particulars relative to this generous person; but common justice requires us to declare, that the name of the poor object is Anthony Halloran, once a laborious lime burner in the county of Wexford, and being out of employ till he was almost starved, crawled to Dublin in search of work. To every poor, and even rich man, we may say, 'Go and do thou likewise.'
LONDON.
Extract of a letter from Belgrade, July 25.
'They write from Trebisonde, that there is still a branch of the Imperial family of the Commenes left. In the present circumstances the setting up of so illustrious a pretender might prove very fatal to the Porte. The Commenes were an ancient Greek family, many of whose descendants filled the throne of Constantinople after the sceptre was taken away from them. Some individuals of the family settled in Greece, where on account of their origin much respect was shown them; other branches retired into Asia and to Trebisonde. It is in this last city they think the branch which has the greatest pretensions to the throne has taken refuge. Mahomet the Second, who rendered himself master of Constantinople in 1453, politically endeavoured to destroy the remains of this family, who always bore the names of the Greek Emperors; and if he did not succeed in their entire destruction, he made people believe that he had left none remaining.'
The opinions and reports both of Mr. Grenville and Sir James Harris meet at one point upon the Dutch affairs—that if peace can by mediation be restored, it too probably will be but of short duration—the temper of the people is decidedly for a revolution of government.
The condition of the Dutch provinces remains as before—equally divided—out of seven, three and a half being for the Stadtholder, and three and a half against him.
The latest advices from France say, that the Parliament of Bourdeaux have issued an arrest, dated the 11th of August, strictly forbidding the opening or holding of a provincial assembly, which they have signified in form to the Duke D'Ayen, who was appointed to be President. In consequence of which act of disobedience, the French King has ordered letters de cachet to be sent, exiling each of them to Libourne.
If the flame of liberty should, as it has been predicted, now break out in France, it is remarkable, that it will have originated from a Stamp Act, which was the measure that first kindled all the American disorders.
The President Du Patt, who lately saved from the torture of being broke upon the wheel, according to their sentence, three unfortunate victims of the error, ignorance or prejudice of their first judges, has lately published a memorial in justification of the memory of seven wretches, four of whom were hanged, and three sent to the galleys for life, for a supposed robbery committed eighteen years ago, and which it now appears was perpetrated by a gang of Gypsies, or, as they are called in France, Bohemians, who, having been apprehended in September last, lately confessed that they alone, with a score of their comrades, had been guilty of the offence for which seven innocent fathers of families had been sacrificed in the year 1769.
The scene of the above judicial murder was Phalsburgh, a small but strong town belonging to the French, and situate between Lorraine and Alsace. The plaintiffs were two Jews, who had the reputation of being very rich, and were robbed on the 24th of September 1768, to the amount, as they said, of near two thousand pounds. It was on their depositions alone, without the least evidence being brought in support of the charge, that seven quiet and useful husbandmen were torn from their wives and families, barbarously tortured, and at last consigned over to death and shame, and their wretched survivors to disgrace and poverty.
On Monday last Monsr. de Calonne, accompanied by several foreigners of distinction, visited Westminster Abbey; and after viewing the monuments and other curiosities of that venerable pile, proceeded to the Tower, where they remained some hours, and on their return westward they saw the inside of St. Stephen's, Walbrook.
UNITED STATES.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.
Since our last a discovery has been made of a number of utensils with which the paper medium of South-Carolina appears to have been counterfeited, or has been attempted to be counterfeited, at Mrs. Jones's plantation at White Bluff, and the overseer, Kelly, together with two others, named Westmore, alias Purcell, and Stewart, have been taken up and committed to prison on suspicion of being the persons who had made use of the utensils, they having for some time past been observed to frequent the place where they were found. Another man of the name of Davis, who is gone into the country, and one Sevier, who lately went to New Providence with Capt. McNeil, are also suspected to have been concerned in this business.
We are informed that a white boy has lately been killed and scalped by the Indians on the Oconee river.—Also that, week before last, on the same river, nine of the savages were killed by people hunting cattle, whom they had attacked. Some of the latter, 'tis said, were slightly wounded.
By the brig Enterprise, Capt. Potter, from the island of St. Thomas, we learn, that a hurricane happened in the Windward Islands the 25th or 26th of last month, in which several vessels were lost, and others were dismasted. It was not much felt at St. Thomas's.
PHILADELPHIA, October 27.
Wednesday last the General Assembly elected the Hon. Thomas Mifflin, Esq. for their Speaker, & Peter Z. Lloyd, Esq. Clerk. Mr. James Martin was at the same time appointed Serjeant at Arms.
The ship Mary and Ann, Captain Priestman, arrived at Baltimore, after a passage of six weeks from Liverpool.
New-York, November 2.
A London newspaper of the 28th of August contains an extract of a letter from Londonderry, of the 7th of the same month, which advises, that the sub-commissioners had condemned an American vessel, called the Dispatch, taken off Inishowen-Head, which it appeared was endeavouring to run her cargo—and that an appeal for both vessel and cargo was intended.
By accounts from Jamaica we learn, that the Peggy, Capt. Peyton, from Norfolk, was drove out of Statia roads on the 24th ult. and afterwards lost on Saba. A man and two boys perished.
A letter from Cape Francois, dated Sept. 27, says, that about the 1st of that month, a very severe hurricane was felt at Porto Rico, where three ships had arrived dismasted, a brig was cast away, and all the crew perished except a boy, and other damage sustained by the shipping and craft, and also on the land.
It is said, that notwithstanding the many flattering addresses, which have been presented to Prince William Henry, from the several towns and places which he has visited, that the conduct of this Royal Lad is far from being pleasing to any of the first circles. He has rarely left a place without affronting the inhabitants in such a manner, as to leave the most unfavorable impressions of his polite character: His conduct is ridiculously boyish. Instead of that mild, noble and generous conduct which ever distinguishes, the gentleman from the churl, he cultivates an imperious deportment, which discovers itself in his every action, and in all companies he deigns to grace with his royal presence, the ladies not escaping the rudeness of his manners.

We learn from Pennsylvania, that every one of the late seceding members in the House of Assembly, which were eligible, consistent with the State constitution, except Mr. Whitehill, have been re-elected; who was not on account of his being in nomination for the State Convention—This, lays a correspondent, rather gives a negative to the general idea, of there being but a few individuals in Pennsylvania who are opposed to the new constitution.—It is also said, that most of the leading men in Virginia are opposed to the new constitution.
In the month of September, several attempts were made to set on fire, the city of Charleston, S. Carolina. We also learn, that several of the incendiaries, who attempted it, have been taken up, a reward of 100 dollars having previously been offered by the Governor, to whomsoever would apprehend and secure them.
On Saturday evening last, an ordination was held at the Dutch Church, in New-Utrecht, Long-Island; a sermon well adapted to the occasion was preached by the Rev. Mr. Schoonmaker; when Mr. Peter Low was admitted and ordained a minister of the Reformed Dutch Church, and pastor of the church at New-Utrecht.
Extract of a letter from Harrison county, Virginia, September 29.
On Monday the 6th instant, a young lad discovered a party of Indians stealing horses on the west fork of Monongalia-river. Upon which information Major Wm. Lowther, who has often distinguished himself, assembled a party of volunteers, and went in pursuit of them upwards of 140 miles, when on a sudden they approached their camp, fired on them, and killed two and wounded one, who made his escape, with the loss of only one of our men; we took from them all their horses, four guns, and considerable quantity of plunder, amongst which were found a white person's scalp.

For the New-York Packet.
WHEN the holy offices of religion, and the divine indefeasible rights of episcopacy, become matter of cavil and scoff, all good men must surely take the alarm. This reflection naturally occurred to me when I read the piece in Mess. Loudon's paper, signed Paulus. This writer, not content with attempting to ridicule a Rector, proceeds with acrimony to call into question, the validity of our Episcopal Ordination—nothing can be a clearer position than that Ordination, other than from English Bishops, must be unavailing—and now as I have proved this point, I shall proceed to notice some others.
The writer too says, that the Rector called the gentlemen, ordained by the Rector, serpents —this is not true—it was intended by the selection of that text to strike the true division line—all Dutchmen, and Jews, and Presbyterians, and Free-thinkers, and No-thinkers at all, are the serpents! For why? Because they have never been Bishoped, and what is worse never will. The ladies however stand fair for happiness. They, good creatures, always carry Bishops—and it is credibly reported none ever dirtied, daubed nor moistened one of them. This, Messrs. Printers, would have been sacrilege—although I am not yet sure whether I ought not to be very angry at their wearing them on their other side—but this I reserve for future reflection.
As to the expression " carnal propagation ," mentioned by Paulus, he either does not or will not recollect that the Rector has been lately commended; and these words slipped in before he was aware—Besides he ought to have known that as these were young men that day ordained, they should not try to propagate Bishops: That talk being reserved for the Rev. Divines unpreaching recreation.

WHEREAS Epenetus Smith, administrator of Isaac Ketcham, late of Huntington, in the county of Suffolk, yeoman, deceased, hath by his petition presented to the said Judge set forth, that the said Isaac Ketcham, was at the time of his death, seized of a real estate within this State; that the petitioner had made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said Isaac Ketcham, as far as he had been able to discover the same, and 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 Isaac Ketcham, do appear before the Judge of the said Court of Probates, at the Probate-Office in the city of New-York, on the 14th day of Dec. next, to show cause if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said Isaac Ketcham died seized, should not be sold as will be sufficient to pay his debts. 1 44 4 PETER OGILVIE.

State of New-York, Court of Admiralty. Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Gad Wells, and others, Libellants.
Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize, saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannan and others, and claimed by Gibbon Bourke, John Donnan and the said John Shannan and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M c Cormick for Hyem Cohen, and by William Cock for Richard Hall.
WHEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Fergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Bells and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port Roseway, have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London, in Connecticut, on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 40 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her foremast standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandize, which were by them brought to the port of New-York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchandize so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks and numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked E. No. 102, 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked E. S. 1 hoghead of spirits, marked E. [enclosed with a diamond] No. 6, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 4, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 5, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. R. No. 3, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8, and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9, thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked HOC. fifteen other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the news-papers printed in New-York, the said goods and merchandize were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Bourke and John Donnan, on behalf of John Shannan, master, and Samuel Nesbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M c Kensie, mariners, and Richard Hall, owner of the said brigantine Port Roseway, have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M c Cormick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen, of the Island of Jamaica, hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sales of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq. for and on behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova-Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port Roseway, hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandize. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M c Kenney and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandize were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson, which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said deserted vessel was a stout vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-irons round it, that she had black sides and yellow mouldings, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast, as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck.—Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public motion and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandize, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of the date of this motion and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787.
