American Occurrences.
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) May 22.
His Excellency the President, with advice of council, has granted a reprieve, to Tuesday the 3d day of June next, to Elisha Thomas, who was to have been executed this day, for the murder of Capt. Drown.
BOSTON, May 28.
The Governor informs the county of Suffolk, that he has this day appointed, with the advice and consent of Council, the Hon. James Sullivan, Esq. Judge of Probate for the 3d county, to whom all persons will apply upon business relative to that office.
A great number of the gentlemen elected to serve in the general court, the ensuing year, arrived in town yesterday. From a general knowledge of their characters, we derive a pleasing satisfaction that old Massachusetts, will be blessed with wise, prudent and federal rulers for the coming year.
A considerable number of votes for governor, &c. have, we are told, been lost this year, owing to their not having been returned in season into the
secretary's office. It is said, that had all the votes been returned, there would have been a decided choice of lieutenant governor, and a more general choice of senators. The numbers of votes for the candidates for the office of lieutenant governor, as returned, we are told, are nearly as follows:
Hon. Benjamin Lincoln 10,000 Hon. James Warren 6,000 Hon. Samuel Adams 3,400 Hon. Elbridge Gerry 600
We remain in anxious expectation of intelligence from South-Carolina.
May 29.
Yesterday being general election, the gentlemen returned to serve as senators and representatives in general court, met at the state house in this town, agreeable to the constitution, and took the oaths and subscribed the declaration required, before the governor and council for the time being, who then withdrew: the senate made choice of the honorable Samuel Phillips, jun. Esq. for their president, and Mr. Samuel Cooper, for their clerk; and the house of representatives chose the honourable Theodore Sedgwick, Esq. speaker, and George R. Minot, Esq. clerk; and being again joined by the governor and council (who were escorted to the state-house
by the company of independent cadets, commanded by colonel Bradford) they proceeded to the old brick meeting house, where a sermon, well adapted to the occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Parsons, of Amherst, from Prov. xxix. 2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
In the afternoon the two branches of the general court again met, and the senate having examined the returns of the votes for senators and counsellors, they informed the house of representatives, that there were a number of vacancies, by reason of deficiencies in the elections; whereupon the two houses met in convention, to fill up the vacancies agreeable to the constitution.

We have not received a particular return of the members of CONVENTION for Washington county (which completes the returns for the state) but it is confidently said, the anti-federal ticket will be carried by at least two to one on the whole number of votes. Washington county sends four members.
We would beg leave to observe, that the number of votes for members of convention, &c. not being inserted for some of the counties, arises from our not having received such particular returns as from the other counties. The returns of members of Assembly for the few counties that are not mentioned in this paper, will be given in our next.
We sympathize with our friends in the country, upon the unpropitious backwardness of the season—that while the vegetable world calls for the cheering beams of the sun, we are visited with cold rains, which threaten the destruction of the feeds already sown.
We learn, that the Hessian fly, has crept into the corn fields at the southward of Jersey, and vicinity, threatening to deprive the farmer of the fruits of his toil. We are happy in adding, that this late is nearly free from them.
Besides the intelligence under the Boston head, we learn from thence, that at the General Election, on Wednesday last, his Excellency JOHN HANGCOCK was found to be appointed Governor of that Commonwealth, by the general suffrage of the constituent body; and that there was no election for Lieutenant Governor, owing, it is said, to a number of votes not being returned in season. In pursuance, however, of the direction of a clause in the constitution, in this case made and

provided, the hon. BENJAMIN LINCOLN has been appointed to that honorary seat, by a majority of 20 out of 28 votes in the senate.
Excerpt of a letter, dated Boston, May 29, 1788. "In addition to the list of elections which you have enclosed in this day's paper, I inform you that the House, agreeably to the constitution, sent up the two candidates for Lieutenant-Governor, who were Gen. Lincoln and Gen. Warren, and the senate by a great majority, elected General Lincoln."
We learn, from Charleston, South-Carolina, via Philadelphia, that the convention of that State ratified the new proposed constitution on the 23d day of May by a majority of 76.
Since the above we learn, that the Sloop George has arrived at Baltimore, from Charleston, and brought the following account: "On the 23d of May, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the question was put, that the convention do assent to and ratify, the federal constitution for the United States of America; upon which the votes stood as follows:—for the ratification, 149—against it 79—majority 76."
We learn from Halifax, that Messrs. Stearns and Taylor, the two attorneys who lately impeached the judges of the Superior Court of that colony, of mal practices, have failed for England. The Governor and Council acquitted the judges of the crimes, and these gentlemen were afterwards forbidden, by the judges, to plead at the bar (as mentioned in one of our late papers) which caused great uneasiness; and, it is said, that the business of these gentlemen is, to seek redress from the parliament of England.
We hear that, notwithstanding the engagement held out to the settlers of the British territories at the eastward, the inhabitants of Shelburne, and other places in that quarter, are very uneasy with their situation; and that many of them are about migrating to the Ohio country.
It is said, that not less than 800 families have already gone from the New-England States, to settle in the Ohio country.
Accounts from Rehoboth (Massachusetts) of May 20, say:—On the 7th instant, 71 ladies met at the house of the Rev. John Ellis, and lodged 187 skeines of good linen yarn, which they had generously spun for Mrs. Ellis; and others have since added 37, amounting in the whole to 218 skeines. The wife Solomon, in describing a virtuous woman, says, "She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." "She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff." "Industry is certainly a virtue, which, while it adorns, enriches society; it banishes the languid hue from the countenances of the fair, and adds vigour and vivacity to the mind." The spirited exertions that the daughters of Columbia are making to manufacture our wool and flax, which are necessary for our consumption, are praiseworthy, and demand the approbation and assistance of every true patriot. They are a happy Omen of better days; and we flatter ourselves with the pleasing expectation of seeing the virtuous fair clothed and ornamented in the genuine productions of their own labour, which will represent their native beauty in greater lustre than all the tinels and gewgaws of Europe and Asia. They set a good example for the other sex, which if each one will studiously follow, in a short time those embarrassments, that many labour under, will be removed:—the great cause of dissension extirpated, without that baneful remedy, opposing the courts of justice, or that more iniquitous measure, the discharge of the most sacred obligations by the medium of a paper currency.

From the SALEM MERCURY,
of May 29. The Publishers hereto their brethren at the southward.
STRANGE as it may appear, nevertheless it is true, that the Printers of the Salem Mercury receive few, very few, public newspapers from the southward, except those obtained through private channels; none from Baltimore, none from Philadelphia, the Independent Gazetteer excepted, none at all from New York, notwithstanding the papers from this office are invariably sent on, and known to be received. The evil complained of is not a contracted one, its influence extends to our brethren in general, in New-England; and is of so dark a complexion as may well give birth to alarming apprehensions. A respectable character, however, in office, in the city of New-York, in a letter to the Printers hereof, observes, "Every newspaper sent to this office, to be forwarded, I have sent off with the mails. What I have received have been generally done up in so wretched a manner, that I am sure they never can go any distance in the mail, without being all looke, so as not to know what place they are for. I think if the newspapers were done up, well dried, with a good cover, and tied, they would not miscarry, as the complaint now is." Where then, think ye, lurks the evil? Devoutly is it wished, that our Southern brethren would probe the affair, and find it— anxiously investigate the cause of so dangerous an impediment.

P R E S E N T, The Honorable PETER OGILVIE, Esq. Judge of the said Court.
WHEREAS David Doty, and Abigail Olmsted, late Abigail Judson, administrators of Samuel Judson, late of Amenia precinct, in Dutchess county, yeoman, deceased, with his will annexed, have, by their petition presented to the said judge, set forth, that the said Samuel Judson, was at the time of his death seized of a real estate within this state, that the petitioners have made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said Samuel Judson, as far as they have been able to discover the same, and that thereby it appeared, that the personal estate of the said Samuel Judson, 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 petitioners have 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 Samuel Judson, do appear before the judge of the said court of Probates, at the Probate Office in the city of New-York, on the sixteenth day of July next, to show cause, if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said Samuel Judson, died seized should not be sold, as will be sufficient to pay his debts.

To be SOLD CHEAP, At PRIVATE SALE, A FARM,
THE place which WILLIAM PROVOST formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the state of New-Jersey; it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: on the lot next the river is a stone DWELLING HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn: in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary spring, and well at the Dwelling-House, from which the meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the lot on the opposite side on the road stands a commodious store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood Land; the land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land enclosed with a new substantial fence.
The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a country seat, or a place of business. To be sold in three different Lots, or the whole together, as may best suit the purchaser: For terms apply to DIRCK LEFFERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same.

This Day is published, and to be sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen Streets, The Miscellaneous Works

Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a pious detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral poetry has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merit, is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that varied invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

POET'S CORNER.
Mr. GREENLEAF. As the following paraphrase is like to become a proper to the times, your inserting it in Poet's Corner, will oblige A CUSTOMER. To print, or not to print—that is the ques- tion; Whether 'tis better in a trunk to bury The quirks and crotches of outrageous fancy, Or lend a wretched copy to the press, And by distilling, end them. To print, to doubt, No more; and by one act to say we end The head-ach, and a thousand natural shocks Of scribbling frenzy—'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To print—to beam From the loose stuff with Pope, in calf well bound: To sleep, perchance with Quarles—Ay, there's the rub—
For to what class a writer may be doom'd, When he hath shav'd off some paltry stuff, Must give us pause. There's the respect that makes The unwilling poet keep his piece nine years, For who would bear the impatient thirst of fame, The pride of conscious merit, and 'bove all, The tedious importunity of friends, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare ink horn? Who would fardle bear? To groan and sweat under a load of wit? But that the tread of sleep Parnassus' hill, That undiscover'd country, with whose bays Few travellers return, puzzle the will, And makes us rather bear to live unknown, Than run the hazard to be known, and damn'd. Thus cricks do make towards of us all. And that the healthful face of many a poem Is sickly'd o'e' with a pale manuscript; And enterprizers of great fire and spirit, With this regard from DODSLEY turn away And lose the name of authors."
