L O N D O N, April 8.
Orders are given for 200 oxen to be purchased as soon as possible, to be driven to Portsmouth, and there killed and salted down, in order to be sent to the garrison at Gibraltar, as they can have no provisions from Barbary, all communication being cut off from the Moors, on account of the plague raging along that coast.
All the outward-bound Indiamen (seven in number) which were in the Downs, failed on Friday last.
There were five more to go, and that is all this season.
The Ganges, lost in the East Indies, was one of the Company's country ships employed only in Asia from one settlement to another. The ship of the same name, for which she had been mistaken, is now at home.
The Thetis is expected in the course of the present month with a very rich investment, and a great number of outward-bound Navvies.
We have authority from the Russian Consul, resident here, to assure the public, that the Empress of Russia refuses to admit Volunteers of every country , to serve in her army.
Sailors are so extremely scarce at this time, that many ships lie at Gravesend unable to proceed on their voyage for want of hands; though they offer upwards of two guineas per month, which is the war price.
Notwithstanding the report to the contrary, it is said that a Lottery is fixed upon as a part of the Ways and Means for the current year.
The planters at New Providence sent home last year upwards of 200 tons, of cotton, which at the lowest price, amounts to 270000 sterling. They expect greater crops this year, so that the Bahamas are no despicable acquisition to the Crown of Great Britain.
Extract of a letter from Fairfax , April 3.
The conversation of the country is engrossed by a most daring robbery, committed a few miles from hence on Friday night last.
About nine o'clock, four men on horseback came to the house of William Jenner, a considerable farmer, who lives at Broadmore-Hill, in the parish of Massey-Hampton, in this neighborhood, and calling the Carter, they told him that they wanted to put their horses in the stable; the Carter said he had no room for their horses, upon which they knocked him down, and tied his legs and hands. They then called the other man out of the stable, and compelled him to go with them to the house, where Mrs. Jenner was sitting with a young lady, a visitor. They tied the man, and locked him in the cellar; and having bound the maid and young lady, they took Mrs. Jenner up stairs, and by threats obliged her to shew in what bureau Mr. Jenner kept his cash and bills. With a picklock the ringleader opened all as readily as a key, and took out to the amount of 1000. In the box belonging to the maid, they found forty guineas, the earnings of a long series of honest industry. When they came down into the kitchen, and the servant found that her box had been opened, she cried bitterly, that all she had in the world was gone. The man who assumed the lead of these ruffians, turning to his accomplices, said— This must have been an industrious creature, to have saved such a sum. Here, we will not take her money. Here, my girl, here is your forty guineas, and immediately returned her the money.
The same man went up to the young lady, and killed her, and another of them presuming to follow his example, he thrust him back, and bid him stand off, for that was an honor reserved for himself alone. They then put the females down into the cellar, and locked the door; and afterwards regaled themselves with what the pantry afforded.
Mr. Jenner had been out at a tythe dinner; and returning about eleven o'clock, a little elevated, was surprised, on entering his house, to see the guests who had taken possession of his fire side. What, says Mr. Jenner, are you going to rob my house? No no, says one of them, that is done already. Why, here have you put all my family, says Mr. Jenner. They are all safe in the cellar, said the robbers, where you will join them, as soon as you have delivered your money. His pockets were searched, and three or four guineas taken. And now, said the ringleader, if you attempt to make any discovery of us, we will come some time hence, and take ample revenge.
Mr. Jenner being put into the cellar, the men sat down to enjoy themselves, drank three bottles of wine, and did not leave the house till two in the morning. The situation of the family was not discovered till the workmen came in the morning, and set them at liberty.
The threat of taking revenge, terrified Mr. Jenner from making the necessary pursuit after these banditti; but advice has been sent to London of the bills that were taken, some of which were Drummond's note; but it was discovered that they had been brought for payment, and the cash had been received.
N E W - Y O R K, June 11.
The Synod of the Reformed Dutch Churches have set apart THIS DAY, as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Among other things, it is proposed, to intercede with Almighty God, that he would be pleased to inspire the Members of our State Convention, with wisdom from on high;—that the decision of that important body may be such, as will secure and perpetuate the civil and religious privileges of the citizens of these United States.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Richmond to his friend in Philadelphia, dated June 2.
Our State Convention met this day: the Hon. Edmund Pendleton was elected President.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Paris, to his friend in Baltimore, dated February 3, 1788.
I have much satisfaction in informing you, that the laws constituted by the Federal Convention, have made great noise in Europe. In England they are so much admired, that they have been printed, and are profitable to the Printer. Every body praises them, but more than they otherwise would, did they not flatter their laws, which they esteem the most perfect. In France, they are highly esteemed also, and the sentiments upon them more liberal. The Parliaments of France, but particularly that of Paris, for some time past have endeavored to clip the wings of their Monarch, to prevent his high flights, and in fact have lately succeeded in their attempts, by establishing laws upon more liberal principles than heretofore. Since the American revolution, they have been seeking after something, and at last, like a Divine charm, have met with that which opens their eyes, and restores them to light; the late laws, of which we are speaking, have produced those effects—they have been before the Parliament of Paris as a model of wisdom, to be copied after. They were there amply discussed, and most amply defended by a majority of the house; however, there was one member violent in his opposition; but from one of his speeches you will find that prejudice influenced him. "Do you think," says he, "Gentlemen, that an old
nation, like this, will take for its model the laws of an infant country, which does not yet know how to carry the bread to its mouth: No!"
"This you see is ridiculous, and not only repugnant to the opinions of some of the greatest politicians, but even to nature and common sense; and contradicted by innumerable facts, many of which were pointed to him, the next day, by the Count de Mirabeau, who took an opportunity of exposing him in the public papers, and therefore of extolling America to the stars, by saying that, in less than thirty years, it would become the most renowned Empire of the four parts of the world; and this I can tell you, is a very general opinion. The objections here to the Constitution are, that the President ought not to be chosen during their good behaviour, but for a certain time only, that the honor may not be a matter of too much contention, which would generally be the cause of bloodshed, slaughter, anarchy and confusion; that the Executive and Legislative powers ought to be separated, and that there should be a bill of Rights. The States of Holland, sensible of the rising progress of America, from considering its resources, its commerce, and the disposition of its inhabitants, have offered Congress, through the hands of Mr. Jefferson, the American Ambassador at Paris, a loan of £80,000 sterling, to be delivered as soon as there is a permanent government established, certain that their money will be more secure in the American funds, than in any other whatever."
"Their reasoning is sensible, and founded upon just principles. They say, that America is large and extensive, and must soon become opulent from its commerce; that since the peace they have sunk eight millions of their debt, and have still a principal to sink the capital entirely, that which no other country whatever thinks of, and that after that is once accomplished, America will be one of the most free and unembarrassed nations in the universe. To give you an idea more particularly of the opinions of the Hollanders, an American gentleman had purchased a number of continental certificates, at 12 per cent. with which he went to Holland, not expecting to make any thing by them. But when he arrived there, he found the inhabitants so well disposed towards the Americans, and having so good an opinion of their property, that he sold his certificates at 60 per cent. to the amount of 150,000. sterling. This you may depend upon as a fact, for I have it from the best authority."
Yesterday arrived the sloop Lady Green , Godfrey, from Rhode-Island.
On Monday the sloop Unity , King, and Hudson, Bunker, for Nantucket, cleared out at the Custom-house.
Arrivals at Newport. Schooners Experience , Crane, from North-Carolina; Abigail , Cundall, New-York; Sloops Peggy , Cahoon, ditto; Lydia , Gardner, Nantucket; and Phoenix , Latimer, New-York.
Arrivals at New-London. Brig Sally , Bates, in 23 days from Barbadoes; and Schooner Adonis , Darrell, from Kingston, Jamaica.
On Sunday evening last, departed this life, in the sixty-sixth year of her age, Mrs. Mary Barclay , relict of the worthy Dr. Barclay , formerly Rector of Trinity Church in this city.
Panegyrics on departed friends are generally said to be "gilding their dust," but the hearts of all who knew Mrs. Barclay , will testify to her worth. From a long and intimate acquaintance with the precepts of christianity, she fulfilled its duties with uniformity and zeal, the reward of which she is now reaping, while her children must deplore the loss of a most tender parent, the poor a cheerful contributor, and all her acquaintance a pleasing friend.
Died, the 5th of March last, in the Hay-Market, London, Colonel Guy Johnson , his Britannic Majesty's Superintendent of the Indian nations in North America.
From the Charleston Gazette .
"Sir,
"In the course of some observations which I made on Monday in the Convention, I delivered the following sentiments, which you have mistated to the public, and which I desire you to correct accordingly."
"Mr. President,
"At the commencement of this Convention I assumed a line of conduct with a determination to exert my utmost powers for the rejection of this Constitution, but circumstances have much altered: Maryland has adopted the Constitution, her voice is decisive; and although from reading and reflection I am principled in my objections to this Constitution, I will sacrifice my own feelings to the peace and tranquility of my country; and as I consider it as the Constitution under which we must live, I will desist from a line of conduct in opposition;—which as it would only tend to irritate and inflame men's minds, would be criminal."
"P. FAYSSOUX."
O N N E W S - P A P E R S.
The following is an extract from No. 26, of an ingenious work, the production of several literary gentlemen, entitled, " Olla Podrida " (Hotch Potch) which is now publishing in weekly numbers, after the manner of the Spectator , at Oxford.
I WAS not a little pleased, the other day, upon paying a visit at the house of a person of distinction in the country, to find the family assembled round a large table, covered with maps, and globes, and books, at the upper end of which sat a young lady, like a professor, reading from the chair. In her hand she held a news-paper. Her father told me he had long accustomed her, while reading one of those vehicles of intelligence, to acquaint herself with the several towns and countries mentioned, by turning to the names in Salmon's Gazetteer , and then finding them out upon the globe, or a map; in which she was become so great a proficient, as to be at that time in truth giving a lecture in geography to her younger brothers and sisters. It was his farther intention, he said, that from Campbell's Present State of Europe , she should acquire a sufficient knowledge of the history of the kingdoms around us, as well as our own, to form an idea of their importance and interests respectively, and the relation each bears to the rest. Verily, thought I to myself, this is reading a news-paper to some purpose.
Children, very early in life, are eager for the fight of the news-paper. By being called upon, in a free and easy way, for some little account of what is in it, they may gradually be brought to read with attention, and to fix upon those articles which are most worthy of notice; as also to remember what they have read, from one day to another, and put things together.
While we are in the world, we must converse with the world; and the conversation, in part, will turn on the news of the day. It is the first subject we begin upon; a general introduction to every thing else. All mankind, indeed, are our brethren, and we are interested, or ought to be interested, in their pleasures and their pains, their sufferings, or their deliverances, throughout the world. Accounts of these should produce in us suitable emotions, which would tend to the exercise of different virtues, and the improvement of our tempers. We should accustom ourselves hereby to rejoice with those who rejoice, and sympathize with those who mourn.
When any country is likely to become the theatre of remarkable events and revolutions (as, for instance, Holland and the dominions of the Turks, at this present moment) it is worth one's while to refresh one's memory with the history of that country, its constitution, and the changes it has heretofore undergone, the nature and disposition of the people, &c.—a sort of knowledge which is sure to be called for. The man who makes himself perfect and correct in it, will gain credit, and give pleasure, in every company, into which he may happen to fall.
Whatever instruction is reaped from history, may be reaped from a news-paper, which is the history of the world for one day. It is the history of that world in which we now live, and with which we are, consequently, more concerned than with those which have passed away, and exist only in remembrance; though, to check us in our too fond love of it, we may consider that the present likewise will soon be past, and take its place in the repositories of the dead.
Accounts of the most extraordinary events in old times are now perused by us with the utmost indifference. With equal indifference will the history of our own times be perused by our descendants; and a day is coming, when all past transactions will appear in the same light, those only excepted, by a consideration of which we have been made wiser and better.
There are few, perhaps, by which we may not become so.
What nobler employment for the human mind, than to trace the designs of Providence in the rise and fall of empires; the overthrow of one, and the establishment of another upon its ruins; to watch diligently the different steps by which these changes are effected: to observe the proceedings of the great Ruler of the universe, always in strict conformity to the rules with which he himself has furnished us; to behold Generals with their armies, and Princes, with their people, executing his counsels, while pursuing their own; to view, upon the stage of the world, those scenes which are continually shifting, the different actors appearing in succession, and the gradual progress of the drama, each incident tending to develop the plot, and bring on the final catastrophe.
In the midst of these secular commotions, these conflicts of contending nations, it is useful to observe the effects produced by them on the state of religion upon the earth; while, among the powers of the world, some protect, and others prosecute: some endeavor to maintain it in its old forms, and others wish to introduce new; all perhaps, more or less, aim at converting it into an engine of state to serve their own purposes, and to avail themselves of that influence which it must always have on the minds of men.
When we read of the events taking place in our own country, the subject becomes more interesting, and we are in danger of having our passions roused and fomented. Let us therefore be upon our guard, judging of nothing by first reports, but awaiting the calmer hour of reason-preparing to decide on full information. For the prosperity of our country, let us be thankful and grateful; in its adversity, sorrowful and penitential; ever careful to correct our own faults, before we censure those of others.
With respect to individuals and their concerns, examples (and they are not wanting among us) of piety, charity, generosity, and other virtues, should effectually stir us up to copy, to enumerate, to surpass them; to join, so far as ability and opportunity will permit, in designs set on foot for the promotion of what is good, the discouragement and suppression of what is otherwise evil. And here, there is great choice: many such designs are on foot: and let those, who have talents for it: bring forward more. All are wanted.
The follies, vices, and consequent miseries of multitudes, displayed in a news-paper, are so many admonitions and warnings, to many beacons, continually burning, to turn others from the rocks on which they have been shipwrecked. What more powerful antidote from suspicion, jealousy, and anger, than the story of one friend murdered by another in a duel? What caution likely to be more effectual against gambling and profligacy, than the mournful relation of an execution, or the fate of a despairing suicide? What finer lecture on the necessity of economy, than an auction of estates, houses, and furniture? "Talk they of morals!" There is no need of Hutcheson, Smith or Paley. Only take a newspaper, and consider it well; read it, and it will instruct thee— plenus ac melius Chrysippus Crantore .
A newspaper is, among other things, a register of mortality. Articles of this kind should excite in our minds reflections similar to those made by one of my predecessors, on a survey of the tombs in Westminster Abbey. They are so just, beautiful, and affecting, that my reader, I am sure, will esteem himself under an obligation to me for bringing them again into his remembrance, by closing this paper with a citation of them.
"When I look upon the tombs of the great every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, every inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tomb-stone my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents themselves, and consider the vanity of grieving for those whom we must quickly follow; when I see kings lying by those who deposed them; when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes; I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions, factions and debates of mankind. When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hundred years ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together."

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the Lumber they intend opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join uncommitted affidavits to the pain aid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21. with foremen, to see the business performed. 2d. To allocate a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener, if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, no knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the retail place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
