TO BE SOLD, A FARM in Westchester County. ALL that certain Farm, tract or parcel of Land, and salt-meadow, situate, lying and being in Westchester, in the county of Westchester, bounded as follows: Beginning and being bounded on the west by the great road that leads from the town of Westchester, northerly up the post road; and on the north by the lands late the property of Basil Bartow, deceased, and the road called Mill-lane; and on the east by the lands of Israel Honeywell; and on the south by lands of Joseph Quimby, containing about one hundred acres of land, be the same more or less. Also, a certain tract or lot of salt meadow, lying and being in the same township, bounded on the southwest and north by the salt-meadow and lands late the property of the said Basil Bartow, deceased; and on the east by the upland of Augustine Drake, estimated to contain about fifteen acres more or less. Also, a right in the Commons, commonly called the Sheep-pasture; all which lands were late the property of Joseph Gidney, deceased; and were sold by virtue of an execution against the estate of the said Gidney, at the suit of John and William Ellison, in the month of February last, by the then Sheriff of Westchester county, to Cadwallader Colden; this may be made a most excellent Farm, the lands being now in good grass, and may be easily converted into mowing ground; it also contains the best timber of any in the neighbourhood.

MISCELLANY.
FOR THE NEW-YORK PACKET.
Arma Cuno.
THE professed soldier of fortune may be deemed, in some degree, a useless character, as it cannot be conceived that he is actuated by the principles of patriotism. He is a wanderer thro' the world in pursuit of the phantom, military glory; attached to no particular country; devoted to no particular standard; but wholly intent upon acquiring laurels, and displaying his prowess and knowledge in the art of war. He is a mere soldier, emulous to excel in his profession, and impressed by no other motives than ambition and vain glory.
The true soldier is he, who takes up arms from principle, and in obedience to the laws of his country. He must surely be a valuable character, as he feels the force of PATRIOTISM; a principle which includes the love of every thing dear to man. It is strange, therefore, that a reluctance should be discovered by some, who call themselves citizens, cheerfully to support the militia of our State. Our illustrious Commander in Chief, in his circular letter, asserts, "That the militia of our country must be considered as the palladium of our security, and the first effectual resort in case of hostility." The propriety and importance of this remark, will be acknowledged by every friend to liberty and our country. Every true republican soldier will glory in that character; and will be convinced that the union of citizen and soldier in the same person, is one of the distinguishing rights of freemen. If our militia is placed upon a respectable footing, it will be the most effectual check to foreign intrusion, and domestic violence. Aristocrats will be restrained from arbitrary proceedings, when they behold a phalanx of freemen, from the scorched plains of Georgia to the more temperate shores of New-Hampshire, cheerfully submitting to military order, actuated by one soul, by one determination, viz. the support of their constitutional rights. Every American should feel his importance in the scale of empire; and be ready to defend the constitution of his country from unjust encroachments. If this subject was considered by our citizens in the manner suited to its importance, the time would soon arrive when the martial bands of American freemen, would become the DREAD OF TYRANTS AND THE FIRM PROTECTORS OF CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY.

New-York, September 16, 1788.
On Liberty and Government.
THERE is nothing more common than to have a clear and distinct notion of particular things, considered separately; and yet, when one happens to join them, and to make them of a complex nature, darkness and obscurity instantly arise. It seems to be like the mixture of certain liquors, which in themselves are very transparent and clear: But as soon as they come to be mixed, they instantly grow opaque, and dark.
The notion of liberty seems to be of this kind: It is clear enough of itself; and so is that of government: But yet when we consider those together, and to think of them as connected, it is not easy to define what liberty is, or to say exactly to what it extends. Liberty consists in a power to act, or not, as every man pleases: It is a state of independence on the will of any other. But then government supposes a man is debarred of the power of acting as he pleases; nay, it supposes his actions are and must be directed by certain prescribed rules laid down by superiors, to whom a legislative power is given. The very entrance therefore into society, or government, is an abridgment of liberty.
The way to consider what branches of natural liberty are given up, and what remains to us, after our admission into society, is, to consider the ends for which men entered into a state of government: For so much liberty only is departed from as is necessary to secure those ends; the rest is to be deemed our own still. In a state of nature, I had a right to read Homer, or Virgil, or Horace, in order to instruct or amuse myself; and therefore under a government instituted to support my life, property, and civil interests, I retain my liberty to read them still. For from what source can such a society derive a right to hinder my studies, recreations, or amusements, which do affect the ends of the society? To restrain therefore the free use of the scriptures; to prohibit men the reading of them; to make it penal to examine and search them; is a manifest usurpation upon the common rights of mankind, and is as much a violation of natural liberty, as the attack of a highwayman upon the road can be upon our civil rights.
We retain then a liberty in such cases in which we have not expressly parted with it, i. e. in all such cases as have no relation to the ends of such society as we enter into: And much more do we retain, our liberty in all rights that are impossible to be alienated. Wherever there are duties incumbent upon ourselves which cannot be performed by others for us, or by ourselves for others, there we cannot transfer such duties to any others whatever.
There is another branch of liberty, which I know not whether I should consider as a natural right retained: It rather seems to be acquired by entering into society. I mean that which every member of society has, to speak his sentiments openly concerning such matters as affect the good of the whole. When any man makes himself a member of a community, he becomes concerned for the whole, as well as for his particular part: He ventures his life and fortune upon the same bottom, and is perpetually interested in its good or ill success. Whenever therefore he perceives a rock upon which there is a probability that the vessel may split; or if he sees a shoal, or sand that may swallow it up; or if he foresees a storm likely to arise; his interest is too
deeply concerned not to give notice of the danger: And the right he has to his life and property, gives him a right to speak his sentiments. If the pilot of the ship refuses to hear, or if the Captain will take no notice, yet 'tis certain they acquire no right to punish the well-meant information, nor to stop the mouth of him who thinks he deservies danger to the whole ship's crew.
FOREIGN ADVICES.
DUBLIN.
The private business of the present A—— is conducted in a strange dark, plodding manner. His lordship possesses a most inexhaustible fund of self-sufficiency; it is his protection against the assistance of wisdom, and the encroachment of salutary advice; it obviates the necessity of counsel, and enables him at once to glance through the order of nature, and discover without a particle of experience, or the aid of labor; at one view, the moral and political fitness of things. It is to this happy quality we are to attribute the exclusion of the S—— or the C—— or the E——, of our most eminent crown lawyers, from the counsels of the day, and the ease and facility with which the business of the nation is conducted by the 1710, whole triple union, like that of omnipotence, is equal to any thing, namely, his E——y, Lord D——n, and Lord V——a.
May 31. The reports in town on Tuesday evening relative to the termination of the Balbriggan business were exceedingly alarming, some stated that Col. Tandy had been taken prisoner and remained in close confinement, others, that the house in which he lodged had been rased to the ground, and he and his friends with much difficulty escaped. It had such an effect on the corps here in town, that summonses had been served to every individual to parade, properly accoutred and provided, to march down that evening to the relief of their brother soldier—however the arrival of Col. Tandy soon after removed their fears, on his account. What gave rise to the report was, between 11 and 12 o'clock, on Monday, as Col. Tandy, Capt. Payne, and one or two more gentlemen, were walking by the river, a man came running from the other side, and told the Colonel, that his life was in danger—on this information, the gentlemen returned to Mr. Payne's house for their swords, and proceeded together, being only 9 in number, to protect their file and drum, who had been obliged to fly—they had scarce got the summit of the hill, near the Maypole, than they perceived an assembly of between 3 and 400 people, many of whom were flourishing their weapons, and encouraging each other to go on—they had now approached within 20 yards of them—when Mr. Tandy and his friends advanced, and expostulated with them—the cool and resolute manner in which he addressed the body had the desired effect, and they suffered them to proceed towards Mr. Payne's house. The mob, however, after they had got to some distance, had immediate recourse to stones, which they poured after them for some time in great abundance. The gentlemen, however, adhering to their principle of protecting their file and drum, and defending themselves—no insult, however great, could provoke them farther—they retired to Mr. Lambert's house, which they prepared to defend—but no attack being made—they proceeded in a strait line to Mr. Payne's house, where the mob made an appearance once or twice, as if they would pursue them.
Wednesday last, the Attorney-General applied to the Court of King's Bench, that the magistrate who had taken examination against Mr. Payne, for a riotous assembly, which had been at Balbriggan on Sunday last, might be at liberty to send up the examinations, to have bills of indictment preferred thereon to the Term Grand Jury, in order to his being tried at the bar of that court. He stated that a most violent mob had been collected there by means of an advertisement; that they had remained quiet during the day, but that at night they had behaved most riotously and outrageously. The court refused to make any rule on the motion, as there could be no trial at bar in that case at this term—and as it could be sooner tried at the Court of Oyer and Terminer.
LONDON, June 31.
The following is an extract of a letter from Peterborough, dated May 10—"A circumstance has just happened, which causes no small commotion, as it will entirely retard the sailing of the fleet, the first division of which, consisting of eight ships of the line, of which La Catharine, of 96 guns, was one, had just completed their equipment, and would have sailed in a few days for the Baltic. The matter briefly is, the resignments of all the English officers, to the number of three score and upwards, who waited on the President of the Admiralty, and have laid down their commissions, on account of the appointment of Paul Jones to a commission and command in the Russian service, delivering at the same time a manifesto, whereby they not only refused to serve under, but also with that officer. Another matter also alarmed the government for some days, which was, that the French officers had shown a similar dislike, but no resignations have happened among the officers of that nation. There are now no fewer than ten sail of the line completely disofficered by this step, and should not some means be found to reconcile the difference, it will be impossible for so large a fleet as had been intended, ever reaching the Mediterranean. A report is just current, which we hope for the benefit of the service may be true, i. e. that Admiral Paul Jones will go to the port of Azoph, whither the Empress will depute the expence of his journey, and that he will have a separate command on the Black Sea and Sea of Azoph alone.
"P. S. May 18. It is just now brought me from authority, that the Sieur Tickigofte, an officer of great merit in the service, and who is a member of this Admiralty, has prevailed with the English captains, lieutenants, &c. that lately resigned, under a promise of advantageous offers from the Empress, to resume their several situations which they have still unanimously refused till the person whose character is disputed, shall have left this city, and set out for Azoph, with the fullest assurances that Mr. Jones never shall be appointed to a commission or command in that part of the service where those officers remain."
UNITED STATES.
MIDDLETOWN, Sept. 15.
On Thursday last arrived here the Sloop Hannah, William Van Deursen, master, 27 days from Martinico, but last from St. Eustatia. He informs that he was blown out of Martinico the 14th of August in a heavy gale of wind. The gale came on in the morning of the 14th, the wind at N.E. with very heavy squalls of rain—at 11 A. M. the wind back'd to N. N. W. and began to blow fresh, at one P. M. it blew a hard gale. Capt. Van Deursen then went out of the road, being the second vessel out, a great sea beginning to heave in. The wind then haul'd to N. and kept increasing, so that he could not show any sail, till 7 P. M. when it blew a violent hurricane, the wind veering from N. N. W. to N. E. till 11 P. M. when it shifted suddenly to S. W. and blew with redoubled violence till 1 A. M. when the gale broke. Capt. Van Deursen then found himself so close aboard the land that if the gale had continued half an hour longer he must have lost his vessel. He then bore away for St. Eustatia, where he arrived on Saturday the 16th. Between St. Kitts and St. Eustatia he fell in with the sloop Dolphin, dismasted, Hiram Coffin, master, belonging to Calco-Bay, having been upset under Dominico in the hurricane, and lost one man, and his decks all torn up; the master and one man came passengers with Capt. Van Deursen. Arrived at St. Eustatia on the 17th, Sloop Israel Bishop, master, belonging to New-Haven, blown out from Martinico, lost one anchor, cable and long boat, under command of the mate, Capt. Bishop being left at Martinico. He informed Capt. Van Deursen that when he left St. Pierrs-Road, Schooner John Paddock, master, belonging to this port, and three other vessels, belonging to the Eastward; were drifted almost on shore, he thinks the vessels must have been lost. Arrived, also, at St. Eustatia, Sloop Phillips, master, belonging to Boston, blown out from Martinico, who on his passage down fell in with a ship and a brig dismasted.
The shipping at St. Eustatia put to sea, but had no very hard blow, but a very heavy sea from the southward, heaving into the Road.
On Sunday preceding the hurricane at Martinico, they had a light shock of an earthquake.
There was no account at St. Eustatia of the damage done at the windward, when Capt. Van Deursen left there.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.
The noted George Sinclair, who has been outlawed, and an accomplice of the Doans, and who was shot and taken last winter in the neighbourhood of Lancaster, and committed to the gaol of that county, but found means to effect his escape, was again lately taken in Northampton county, in attempting to commit a robbery on a farmer, and carried to Easton gaol—and for the better securing so dangerous a person, he was brought here last Thursday, and safely lodged in the prison of this city.
A correspondent remarks, with satisfaction, that notwithstanding Judge B——'s assertion last spring that the serious Quakes were against the new government, not one of them could be persuaded to favor the Harrisburg meeting with their presence—nor did one German go thither from any of the respectable counties in which they live. A single man only of that worthy and valuable body of citizens appeared, the place of meeting being near, and rejecting him to earnest invitation.
A friend of liberty and government remarks, that however full and fair may be the future consideration of amendments on the part of Pennsylvania, it must give great satisfaction to see the disappointment of the late attempt to procure a pretended representation of the counties at Harrisburg. Pennsylvania never manifested more good sense, nor a greater attachment to good government, than by her evident disapprobation of means so deceitful, secret and inflammatory, as were used to effect this meeting.
Pennsylvania, says a correspondent, sends sixty-nine members, by the votes 60000 electors, to her State Legislature, but it seems they cannot do our public business, but an Upper House must be assembled at Harrisburg. Our State constitution requires that men noted for wisdom and virtue should be chosen, but we do not find that any thing of that kind is required for this Upper House. He further remarks, that in proportion to the electors who met to choose this unconstitutional body, the city of Philadelphia, instead of five whole members, only sent a little finger and a thumb, the counties of Montgomery, York, Northampton, &c. so that altogether they may be truly said not to make a body.
We hear from Massachusetts, that the inhabitants of that State have resolved to choose their eight federal representatives in such a manner, that each citizen shall have a vote for the whole eight. They claim this mode of voting as a federal right given to them by the federal constitution, and which the State cannot take from them. It is to be hoped the citizens of Pennsylvania will shew the same discernment and zeal in preserving their liberties, by the mode of electing representatives, that have been discovered by the enlightened citizens of Massachusetts. In this mode the characters most noted for wisdom and virtue will be brought forth—local prejudices will be destroyed—and each member of the federal house of representatives will consider himself as the servant (not of a county or district, or of 2 or 3 election-eering friends) but of the whole State, and his eyes will be fixed of course in every vote he gives (not upon pleasing a few of his neighbours by bringing a post-road near their plantations) but upon the commerce—agriculture—and manufactures of every part of the State. The whole State has now become as to Congress, what a county has always been to the State. Let our federal elections be conducted upon the same principles. Let there be but one ticket—Let the most suitable men be taken from any, or from every part of the State—and let the votes be given in, at the same places in which the electors have been accustomed to vote for members of Council and Assembly.
The present state of the penal laws in Pennsylvania, says a correspondent, calls aloud for amendment. The wheel-barrow has ceased to be a punishment. It serves only to make bad men worse, and it is therefore unpopular and odious in every part of
the State. Why then is it continued in force? Is it because we view the degradation of our species with the same indifference that we view a bull-bear, or a cock-fight? It is to be hoped not. Let us no longer then neglect to reverence the defaced image of God in our unfortunate fellow creatures. They are still men—and related to us by the ties of a common Creator and Redeemer. Let the experiment of solitude and labor, to reform criminals and to deter from crimes, be fairly tried in Pennsylvania. It has succeeded in Massachusetts, as well as in many other parts of the world. Legislators of Pennsylvania! Awake to the cries of virtue and humanity. Have compassion upon human nature; move from the sight of our citizens, the dreadful spectacles of human misery and depravity, which meet us in every street. Vice springs up too fast in our State without culture. Do not plant and water it every where, by means of the wheel-barrow law. The ship Alliance, Captain Thomas Reed, from Canton, in China, is arrived in our river.

Messrs. LONDON,
Please to insert the following observations of an experienced gentleman Farmer in Ulster County.
"A countryman observes, that the two great evils or calamities that we at present complain of, may in the end, turn out great blessings (such are the unsearchable ways of a divine Providence) viz. the scarcity of money and the Hessian fly; as for the scarcity of cash, he observes with pleasure, that not only in his own neighborhood, but throughout great part of the State, in which he has lately travelled, it occasions an uncommon spirit of industry and frugality. The idle and dissipated can no longer spend their time in taverns, nor the tavern-keepers have credit to lay in the pernicious store. As for the Hessian fly, he thinks it has been the means of introducing among the farmers a kind of wheat, that doubly pays them for their labor, and on which the fly seems to have little or no effect: He this last harvest reaped double the quantity of this wheat, that he ever used to have off of the same ground, the wheat weighing from 64 to 68lb. to the bushel. A neighbor of his, of undoubted veracity, says, that on one acre and an eighth of land he sowed only one bushel of this wheat, from which he reaped fifty two bushels and thirteen quarts; so that if the creditor would have patience with the debtor, the country might yet surmount its difficulties. But there seems to be wanting grateful hearts, as well as more forgiving tempers."
AT a meeting of a number of respectable citizens from each of the Wards in this city, at the City Tavern, on Monday the 15th of September instant, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Election for Aldermen and Assistants, to be held on the 29th inst.—The following Gentlemen were nominated to the Officers annexed to their names, and are earnestly recommended to the suffrages of the Electors in the several Wards.
Out-Ward—Nicholas Bayard, Alderman; Cornelius C. Roosevelt, Assistant.
Montgomery-Ward—Isaac Roosevelt, Alderman; Tobias Van Zandt, Assistant.
West-Ward—Alexander Macomb, Alderman; James Atner, Assistant.
South-Ward—Robert Watts, Alderman; Samuel Bard, Jun. Assistant.
Dock-Ward—Peter Elting, Alderman; Wynant Van Zandt, Assistant.
North-Ward—William Maxwell, Alderman; George Janeway, Assistant.
East-Ward—John Lawrence Esq. Alderman; James Nicholson, Assistant.
The choice of a respectable Magistracy, is at all times an object of high importance to the police and dignity of this city; and is the more particularly so, at a juncture when it is expected that the Grand Council of the Union, under the New Constitution, will honor it with their residence. It is hoped that the citizens will approve of the above nomination, and unite their exertions to render it successful.

Wednesday last, being the anniversary of the New-Constitution, the American brig Federalist, commanded by Capt. George Bright, was beautifully decorated with the flags of foreign nations, and at one o'clock fired a salute of eleven guns. An entertainment suited to the occasion was given on board the brig, and the following toasts were drank under a discharge of cannon:
1. The Grand Federal Convention.
2. The new Constitution.
3. The States which have adopted the Constitution.
4. Congress.
5. His Most Christian Majesty.
6. The foreign powers in amity with America.
7. General Washington.
8. Success to the agriculture and commerce of America.
9. The American fair.
10. The State of New-York.
11. THE DAY—May America ever have reason to rejoice on the commemoration of this anniversary.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Hudson, to his friend in Newport, (R. I.) August 7.
"The adoption of the new Constitution by our Convention has given universal satisfaction to the Anties—all parties seem to unite as one, and agree to put the government in motion. Judge Yates, one of the Supreme Court, in giving his charge to the Grand Jury at Albany, a few days since, recommended the support of the Constitution to them in a very pretty manner, and acknowledged he was, before its adoption, opposed to it, but now it was his and every other man's duty to support it. Both parties, it is said, are this day to join in Federal Procession at Albany. I mention this to shew you the union that is likely to take place in Albany, where there was the most dissention."
The following melancholy instance is a most striking demonstration of the uncertainty of human life: On the 5th instant, as Mr. Eliphalet Wheeler, of Amenia in Dutchess county, was dressing a millstone in Albany, to all appearance in perfect health, he suddenly fell backward, and in a moment expired without a groan. His corpse was immediately conveyed to his family, which consists of an amiable wife and two children, who will experience the loss of a kind husband and an affectionate father.

By Capt. Seyer, who arrived at Boston a few days since from Russia, we learn, that the Semiramis of the north—the Empress of Russia, has forbidden, under the severest penalties, any foreigner or native in her dominions, discoursing or writing on the subjects of political affairs; from which circumstance it is difficult to obtain any information of the situation of affairs between the Russians and the Turks. Capt. S. spoke the Swedish fleet, on their cruise; it consisted of 20 sail of the line, besides smaller vessels. But hostilities between the Swedes and Russians have not yet been declared.
For the encouragement of American literature and genius, it is resolved by the corporation of Providence College, that a particular part of the library-room should be appropriated for the purpose of depositing the works of American Authors.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the new settlement on the Muskungum, to a person in Salem, dated July 20th.
"We had a beautiful passage down the Ohio from Pittsburg, in company with three Kentucky boats. Without sails or oars, we glided down the fair river, and in 48 hours arrived at this enchanting spot. It is really a delightful situation. The first thing which presented itself, when we ascended the bank by a grand and easy pair of stairs, was a fine level spot covered with huts and tents. Ranging the Muskungum, was a fine bowery, where our people celebrated the 4th of July: An oration was delivered by General VARNUM; and a fine dinner was provided; among other things, there were on the table perch that weighed 24 pounds—pickered of 22 pounds—roast pig, venison, &c. While dining, there was a discharge of cannon from the garrison; which is so near, that, with the settlement on the Virginia shore, it makes this point very lively. The day after we arrived was the time appointed for Governor St. Clair to make his first public appearance. At 5 o'clock, P. M. there was a general muster in the bowery. His Excellency came over from the garrison to this place, escorted by the corps of officers, the Secretary, &c. The Secretary then read the ordinance of Congress, the Governor's commission, the Judges, and his own. The Governor was then congratulated on his arrival at the seat of government; and three cheers closed the ceremony."
"The Rev. Mr. BRECK is here, and this day preached the first sermon that ever was delivered on the banks of the Muskungum, from Exodus xix. 5, 6: Now, therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me, above all people; for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation."
"Now for the land. There is not a single person that has ever been upon the ground, but what is pleased with its situation and fertility. Vegetation is equal to any thing you ever heard of it, except the pigs tails. Col. B. tells me, it is a fact, that they drove a stake into a cornhill, and measured the corn, and that in 24 hours it grew 9 1-2 inches. There are many very fine gardens here; and the city ground is clearing as fast as possible: But the situation of affairs is such, at present, respecting the Indians, that people cannot with safety go to their lands."
"Concerning the treaty, there is no probability of a general one at this time. The place that was designed for the treaty is about 80 miles up the Muskungum, and the stores were deposited there; and a few days before we arrived, the place was attacked by about a dozen peltrons, of the Chippewas; who killed two centinels, and a mulatto; but they lost 3 or 4 of their own party. Information was brought of this affair to the garrison by some friendly Indians and a boat was dispatched to bring off the stores. Captains Tame and White Eyes, Chiefs of the Delaware, who are friendly disposed, went up with our people. By the stratagem of the Chiefs some of the scoundrels were taken. They came in with the friendly Indians to drink whisky, &c. When our boat arrived, the Indians were all paraded, about 70, without arms, to hear something, they did not know what. There were about 28 of our people; some with corals in their pockets: Six Indians were pitched upon, as rogues; and the officer told them, that six must go to the garrison as hostages: And, without any ceremony, our people seized each his man, as had been concerted, and tied his arms behind him, put the six into the boat, and pushed off with them; telling the rest, if they wished to treat, they must come to the garrison. The prisoners are now in irons in the garrison. Two or three of them, if not all, were concerned in the murder. It is probably they will be soon executed here. This is not a national affair: The party was a lawless banditti; and spirited measures, it is thought, will be the best for us, as the Indians are very much afraid of the Yankees—much more so than of the Long Knife, as they call the Virginians at Kentucky. We must wait the event of those difficulties. We feel ourselves pretty secure, so near the garrison, and are venturing to build our house about one stone's throw from the stockade, and one mile from the point. The Directors are determined to clear the city ground as fast as possible. Living is exceedingly cheap here, while a person has any thing to buy with: We get what venison we want for a copper a pound. If we can go on to our lands in safety, happiness is within our reach."
Meaning of the word Ohio. Extract of a letter of a later date (Aug. 2d.) from the same.
"We have some favourable communications from the Indian Council. A friendly Indian arrived at the garrison on Thursday, with intelligence to the Governor, that there had been a dissension in the Council: The Chippewas and Ottawas would not come in: The other tribes told them, if they would not, they must fight their own battles, for they would not assist them. Finally, they all concluded to come in to the treaty; and about twelve o'clock this day, 13 of their Chiefs came in to the garrison in pomp, all mounted on horses, bearing the flag of the United States. Every thing is expected from their pacific disposition."
Extract of a letter from an English gentleman now at Port au Prince, to his friend in Jamaica.
"I can scarcely describe to you the earnest desire or eagerness manifested by all ranks of people in this colony, to procure the bread fruit tree; they are so prepossessed with an idea that the various advantages which they would derive from that acquisition is beyond the power of calculation; even so far as to think that the further cultivation of plantains, yams, cocoas, cassada, &c. would be almost unnecessary, and that they might hereafter employ the great quantity of lands now taken up by them, for better purposes."
purposes. They had lately formed a scheme, when they supposed the Count de la Peyrouse to be in the South Seas, of dispatching a letter for him, either to Porto Bello, Panama, or Acapulco, recommended to the care and furtherance of the Spanish Governors of those places, by which means they hoped it might have reached the Count during his stay at Monte Rey in California; and they very reasonably had no doubt, but that commander would have readily complied with the request of the colony, and brought with him some of the plants of the bread fruit tree, from the islands of the South Sea, which he might have deposited in the King's garden at the Isle of France, upon his return; where they could have remained until some opportunity offered for Hispaniola, as it seems they have two or three ships that come directly from thence every year, which seldom have above forty-five days passage. They certainly have some advantage over us in this respect, that in all their settlements, a royal Botanic Garden is kept on foot, and maintained in the highest degree of regularity and perfection, at the expence of the King, for the purpose of raising and propagating every attainable, curious, or useful exotic plant or tree, the expence of procuring and transplanting the same, is also defrayed by the King for the public benefit."
"The return of the Chevalier Peyrouse to France, an account of which is hourly expected, has made them turn their thoughts another way: and a subscription is actually set on foot, the object of which is to procure a good and experienced Captain of a ship, who must understand the Spanish language, and be active, intelligent and honest; he is to be dispatched to Porto Bello, with proper recommendations to the Spanish Governors for his protection in travelling across the Isthmus to Panama, where he is to engage a ship to go to Society Islands, a voyage of a thousand, or at most twelve hundred leagues, and having obtained the plants, to return to Panama, carry them across the Isthmus to Porto Bello on mules, and thence by sea to Hispaniola. They calculate, that by this method they will be able to procure the plants sooner and with more safety and certainty than the English, by the ship lately fitted out by order of the King, for that purpose. The expence of this expedition they estimate at about 3000l. sterling, which sum equally divided among the planters, would not exceed twelve bits each; or, if rated according to the number of slaves would not amount to half a bit each—though some individuals have offered to contribute very liberally. Thus, in a country where there is public spirit, great objects may be accomplished by small means multiplied."
"I would earnestly recommend to my countrymen in Jamaica, the introduction of the sweet Chestnut; I was perfectly charmed to see a very considerable quantity of those trees on several plantations here in a most thriving condition, and therefore there is no doubt of their succeeding with you. We all know that a good roasted chestnut is a delicacy; and it is a fact, that in Spain they constitute the chief part of the food of the poor, as the potatoes do in Ireland."
"We hear from Nova-Scotia, that the highest suspicion prevails there, that the infamous Traitor Benedict Arnold, set fire to his own store, having previously effected an insurance in London upon it to a much larger amount than the real value of his property. In Arnold we behold a fatal example of an unbridled thirst after riches,—this hath been his ruling passion, and to this he would sacrifice his God, as he hath attempted to sacrifice his country. What crimes then will the wretch stoop to? None until he is stoop by a Gallow. Newport Herald. "

Messrs. PRINTERS, As the time of electing Magistrates, agreeable to charter, for this city, is near approaching, you will be pleased to insert the following thoughts on that subject.
All public offices ought, if possible, to be occupied by persons of abilities suitable to their different stations, and of inclinations to exert those abilities in the faithful discharge of their duty. Several characters are on this account improper, and ought not to be chosen. First, the man who possesses abilities, but will not devote a portion of his time in the exercise of them for the public good, in the office to which he is chosen, either from an indolence of temper, or a contempt and neglect of performing some of the duties required by virtue of his commission or oath,—hence the man of an independent fortune is not always the most suitable to fill the office of an Alderman, since it cannot be expected that he will devote his time to attend to business which must inevitably break in upon his desire of enjoying a life of ease and retirement; to obtain which, and an exemption from cares not his own, has been all his pursuit to arrive at independence; but he would be most proper if faithful in the performance of his duty: On the other hand the man engaged in a multiplicity of business or other employments of his own, will not often neglect those to serve the public faithfully in an office, if from it he expects to derive no benefit; yet by their commission and oath, if they will faithfully and truly execute the office of an Alderman and Justice of the Peace, they are required to perform several duties besides attending to the honorary part, courts, and meetings of the Common Council. Our Legislature have judged it expedient and necessary to adopt many of the British common and statute laws. I find by one British law, that it is declared, if a Justice of the Peace will not, on complaint to him made, execute the office, the party grieved may complain to the Judge of the Assize, or the Lord Chancellor, and upon examination, if it appears that the complaint is true, the Chancellor may put him out of commission, and he may be punished moreover according to his desert. How far this law extends to us, I will not take upon me
to determine; nor the following, made 5 Geo. 2, c. 18, s. 2, wherein it is declared, that no Attorney, Solicitor, or Proctor, shall be a Justice of the Peace during the time he shall continue in the practice of that business; but this I will say, that it would not be proper to allow such Attorney, Solicitor, or Proctor, to sit as Judge in a cause for which he has been retained as an Attorney, or in his own case. The man who is altogether unacquainted with the laws of his country, is very unfit for the office of Alderman and Justice, as is also the man of an immoral or vicious conduct in life. Equally unfit is the man who desires the office from sordid motives, and in attending to self interest, neglects the more immediate business of the city or the ward he is chosen to serve in. Altho' he may not be charged with neglecting business as a Justice, yet from interest or a too rigid exertion of the power and authority he possesses by virtue of his office, he may bring undeserved distress upon individuals and their families.
It is well known that by the extraordinary exertion of the corporation to repair, beautify, and render commodious the public buildings, wharves and streets of this city since the peace, that their revenues are become considerably embarrassed, and therefore require the utmost attention, left by a neglect to improve their estate, or a too lavish disposal of the public money, these embarrassments should increase instead of diminish; therefore a regard ought to be paid to this in the qualification of the person chosen, as there are now a number of Justices appointed for the city, with the express view of relieving the Aldermen from being continually obliged to attend trials or civil actions (which are amazingly multiplied since the passing of what is called the ten pound law) that they might have leisure to attend to the police of the city.
An INHABITANT.
A CHARITY-SERMON will be preached, at the request of the society for the relief of distressed debtors, confined in Gaol, this Evening, in the OLD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Divine service will begin precisely at 7 o'clock.
An account of the first institution of this society, and their fundamental rules, were published, by order, in the several newspapers, last winter, and may be seen in the American Magazine for January, 1788. The Society, as faithful stewards, have also informed the public in said account, that from the 26th of January, 1787, to the 20th of January following, they had "been enabled, by the charitable contributions of sundry persons, to afford relief to 123 Debtors, who were destitute of the means of subsistence, by distributing to their necessities the following articles:
2942 lb. beef and pork, 2826 do. bread, 8bbls. 17 qts. lamp, 32 cabbages, 24 1-4 bushels potatoes, 42lb. cheese, 8 loads of wood, 6 flirts."

POET'S CORNER.
ON ENVIY.
FROM frozen poles, the world's remote extremes, To Afric's plains, beneath the torrid beams Pale Envy reigns, and thus each varying zone Disturbs the cottage, or assails the throne. A dreadful inmate of the selfish mind, Ally'd to malice, and with spleen combin'd. This foe to merit with malignant joy, Would each deserving character destroy. If worth, if honour, in the bosom glow, Envy becomes a most inveterate foe; If soft benevolence distils befriending, Though truth applaud, still envy discommends.
