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 Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Bourke, John Donnand and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel McCor- mick 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, Sa- muel Eells, and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as man- ners 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 is- land 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 30 minutes north or thereabouts, they discovered, and went to a ves- sel 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 merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New- York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Burke, and John Donnand, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchan- dize so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hog- heads of sugar, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 102, one other hoghead of sugar marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked F.S., one hoghead of spirits, marked E. [enclosed by a diamond] No. 6, one other hoghead of spi- rits, 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, 1 bale of cot- ton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked H. C. 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 where- of, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quan- tity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one bales of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the news papers print- ed in New-York, the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of Aug. 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Bourke and John Donnand, on behalf of John Shannon, master, and Samuel Nelbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M'Kenzie, 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 McCormick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on be- half of Hyem Cohen, of the Island of Jamaica, bath 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 sal- vage: and whereas William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq. for and in behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, bath 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 merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of Wil- iam M'Kenney and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, were gene- rally supposed by themselves and others then pre- sent, to have been a brigantine; and it further ap- pears 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 float vessel (perhaps about three hundred tuns burthen) had a woman's head, with guard- 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 monition and notice is hereby given to all persons interested, or claiming to be interested, in the said goods, wares and mer- chandise, 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 mo- nition 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.

An ACT for giving Relief in Cases of Insolvency, passed the 21st of March, 1788.
[Continued from our paper of April 10.]
8. AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any such person who hath, or shall have been actually imprisoned for sixty days and upwards upon execution in any civil action, to apply in person or by attorney (if the principal resides without this state as aforesaid) to the chancellor or any of the justices of the supreme court for relief, in case such creditor or the said attorney shall be apprehensive that the estate or effects of such debtor will be wasted or embezzled; and upon such application and an affidavit being made by such creditor before a master in chancery or justice of the supreme court, or in case of the residence of such creditor without this state, then in the manner herein before directed, that such creditor in a certain sum of money then due and to be specified in the said affidavit, & notices than forty pounds, and that such debtor is in prison on execution issued against him in some civil action, and has been so imprisoned for sixty days and upwards, the said chancellor or justice shall order a publication to be made in the manner herein before directed, for the creditors of such debtor to appear before him at a certain day in the said order to be specified, and not less than eight weeks after the publication of such order, to show cause, if any they have, why an assignment should not be made of the said debtor's estate for the benefit of all his creditors; and upon that day or at such subsequent days and times as the said chancellor or justice may appoint, if so many of the creditors of such insolvent as he shall be satisfied have debts owing to them, to the amount of three fourths in value of all the debts owing by such insolvent, shall request an assignment to be made of the estate of such insolvent as aforesaid, and no good cause appears to the contrary, it shall be lawful for the chancellor or justice to direct such assignment to be made, in like manner as if the parties had appeared before him, in consequence of a petition as aforesaid; each of the said creditors first making an affidavit, in the manner herein before directed, that the sum demanded by such creditor is justly due to him or her, or will become due to him or her, at some future time or times to be specified in such affidavit, and that he or she, or any other person to his or her use, had not received from such insolvent or any other person, any payment of part of his or her demand against such insolvent, in money or by sale, conveyance, assignment or delivery of any lands, tenements, hereditaments, goods, chattels, or any thing or things in action, or any gift or reward whatsoever upon and express or secret or implied contract, promise, engagement, intent, trust, or confidence, that he or she should consent to or request such assignment; and if such insolvent shall make such assignment in ten days thereafter, and shall conform to the directions of this act with respect to petitioning debtors, such insolvent shall be thereupon discharged, in like manner as if he had petitioned for his discharge in conjunction with his creditors pursuant to this act; but if such insolvent shall refuse or neglect to make and execute such assignment as aforesaid, the chancellor or justice shall execute an assignment of such insolvent's estate, both in law and equity, in possession, reversion or remainder to such person or persons a majority of the creditors of such insolvent in respect to the amount of their demands appearing to him, shall nominate, and with the like exceptions as are herein before mentioned; which assignment shall be equally good, valid and effectual to all intents and purposes whatsoever, and the assignee shall have the like estate and power, and be subject to the like duties as if the same had been executed by such insolvent, and shall vest in such assignees the whole of the estate which belonged to the said insolvent, on the day of the first publication of the orders so made as aforesaid.
9. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if the said insolvent shall so as aforesaid, refuse or neglect to make an assignment of his estate, such insolvent shall not be discharged from imprisonment by virtue of this act, unless so many of his creditors as shall have debts owing to them to the amount of three fourths in value of all the debts owing by such insolvent, shall petition the said chancellor or justice for his discharge, or unless such insolvent shall have delivered such inventory and account, and taken such oath as are herein before prescribed; and so many of his creditors as aforesaid have accepted a dividend under such assignment.
10. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That any such insolvent having been discharged in conformity to this act, if prosecuted for any debt or contract beforementioned, or if any other person or persons be sued for any matter or thing done by virtue of this act, it shall be lawful for such person or persons to plead the general issue and give the special matter in evidence.
11. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in case any such insolvent shall be guilty of perjury, by concealing any part of his or her estate or effects, or shall, after the assignment of his or her estate by virtue of this act, receive any debt or debts due to him or her before such assignment, or if he or she shall secrete any part of his or her estate, or any books or writing relating thereto, with an intent to defraud his or her creditors, or shall procure any person or persons to become a petitioning creditor or creditors, for any sum not bona fide, due from him or her to such creditor or creditors, or for any larger sum than is really and bona fide due from such insolvent to such creditor or creditors, to make such sum in value as required by this act as aforesaid, then, and in every such case, the discharge of the said insolvent under this act shall be void; and his or her person or persons' and estate or effects, shall be subject to the payment of all his or her former debts as well to his or her petitioning creditors as others, the said discharge to the contrary notwithstanding.
12. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That any person or persons, who shall have accepted of any trust or trusts for any insolvent or shall wilfully conceal or protect any estate, real or personal of any insolvent, from the assignee or assignees of such insolvent, and shall not in fifty days after notice of such assignment being published in the newspapers printed by the Printer of this state, and one other of the public newspapers printed in this state, fully discover and disclose such trust and estate to the said assignee or assignees, shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds; and double the value of the estate so concealed, to be recovered with costs of action of debt in any court of record, having cognizance thereof in the name or names of the said assignee or assignees, for the use and benefit of the creditors of such insolvent.
13. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person shall swear or depose before a master in chancery, justice or judge as aforesaid, that any sum of money is due, or owing to him or her from any such insolvent, which sum of money is not really due or owing, or shall swear that more is due than is really due or owing, knowing the same to be not due or owing, and that such oath is false and untrue; such person shall be liable to pay double the sum so sworn to be due or owing as aforesaid, to be recovered by action of debt in any court, having cognizance thereof in the name or names of the assignee or assignees of such insolvent's estate, and to be divided among all the creditors of such insolvent, in proportion to their demands against such insolvent's estate.
[To be continued.]
Foreign Intelligence.
[The following Articles are extracted from London Papers received by the British Packet, Portland, and the Ship Peggy, which have arrived from Europe since last Thursday.]
FRANCFORT sur le MAIN, Jan. 25. IN consequence of a Congress to be held at Mayence, by the members of the Germanic League, the Duke of Saxe Weimar has already arrived there, as is also M. de Stein, on the part of the King of Prussia, and M. de Bunau, as envoy from Dresden. It is conjectured they will adjust and fix this association, from a new plan of imperial treaty, reform the judiciary, and re-establish the visitation of the imperial chamber of Wetzlar.
The Ottomans have formed four great armies: one in service of 100,000, the second in Bosnia of 60,000, the third in Bessarabia and Moldavia, where the choosen artillery are, and the fourth in the Crimea, of between 20 and 25,000 men.
The Russians were preparing to lay siege to Ochakow when the last letters came away.
FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, Dec. 28.
The Russian troops are in motion; 500 baggage waggons, and 1800 horses, which were at Grzymalow, are employed to convey away their baggage.—And we are assured, that the greatest part of the army under Marshal Romanzow, is going into the Buckowine, from whence they will be led to Moldavia.
POLAND, Jan. 2.
The Russian troops which are now in motion are to be joined on the 8th inst. by the Emperor's Cordon, in the Buckowine, amounting to thirty thousand men.—The Turks are also in motion, and also approach the same province.
LONDON, Jan. 29.
YESTERDAY Lord George Gordon was brought into Court to receive judgment of the law for the publication of the libels, of which he was convicted in Trinity Term last. After Mr. Justice Buller had stated from his note book the evidence on the trial, and the two libels were read by the proper officer, the council pleas were learnedly exhibited. And,
Mr. Justice Ashburton, after a suitable address to Lord George, pronounced the sentence of the Court, which is as follows, viz.
"That his Lordship should be confined for the term of three years, now next ensuing, in Newgate; and after the expiration of that term, for two years more; to pay a fine of 500l. and to find sureties for his good behavior, himself in 10,000l. and two sureties in 2,500l. each, for the further term of 14 years after the aforesaid five years are expired, and the fine of 500l. paid or else to remain in Newgate until it is done."
His Lordship made a very grotesque figure; he was wrapped up in a great coat, his hair lank as usual, his beard about three inches long, extending under his chin and throat, from ear to ear, and differing from the colour of his hair.
JANUARY 30.
On Sunday the 6th inst. a most violent gale, little short of West-Indian hurricane, was felt along the North-west coast of France, from Dieppe to Brest, a space of near fifty leagues. In the height of this tremendous storm, which was from four in the afternoon till eleven the same night, thunder shook the whole atmosphere, whilst bread and livid lightning illuminated land and sea for many miles. The towns of Dieppe, Cherburgh, Honfleur, and St. Valery, were in the utmost consternation. Many in despair run like mad people about the streets: the clergy, to quiet their minds, went in solemn procession to the
churches, where public service continued till near one in the morning, when the storm of wind and thunder abated, and with a plentiful shower of large hail stones ceased. The sea rose above forty feet perpendicular above the usual high-water mark, and ebbed and flowed so rapidly, and with such force and weight, as to demolish the mole, pier, and other works to the very foundation. In a word, so tremendous a phenomenon has not been remembered in France by the oldest person now living.
February 2.
The reports circulated in the public prints that serjeants will be commissioned to deliver the jails throughout the kingdom in the room of the judges, who will be kept in town by Mr. Hastings' trial, reminds us of a short conversation which Lord Mansfield once had with an Oxford gaoler.—"Are you (said the gaoler, addressing his lordship) indeed my lord, a judge?"—"Why, Mr. Gaoler (said his lordship) do you ask that question?"—"Because, my lord (replied the other) I am informed they often stop us off only with your serjeant-men."
By the accounts which have been published in Paris, of the population of that city for the year 1787, it appears there were 20,378 baptisms 18,139 deaths, 5912 infants found, 5505 marriages, and 107 who took the veil, so that there were 2239 baptisms more than deaths.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Jan. 29.
"We learn from Guelderland, that with the consent of the court of justice of that province, the Baron Van Capellen et der Marsh has been summoned to appear personally to answer certain accusations of high treason, crimes of state and sedition, and that they have resolved he merits the punishment of death."
"We have accounts from Paris, that eight magistrates have refused to assist at the sittings which are to precede the restoration of the Protestants to their civil rights, and we also learn that they are not very well pleased at Versailles with the flattering reception M. de Calonne has met with in London."
FEBRUARY 12.
The near approach of Mr. Hastings' trial must give every one satisfaction; facts will now be established; assertions, however boldly made, will be weighed with attention; and determined upon with caution; and which ever way the trial may terminate, the public may be now satisfied that complete justice will be done either upon a guilty malefactor, or an innocent man wrongfully accused.
14. The Turks have offered to cede to the Emperor all that was granted to the House of Austria by the peace of Passerwitz, but abate nothing of their conditions to Russia; but his Majesty is resolved to support the claims of the Empress with all his force.
The French begin to receive with coldness the fugitives of Holland, and an order from Versailles prohibits those from being admitted into the new corps that are forming, who have not been eight years in the service of the republic; and, in order to put a final stop to their emigration, it is declared that none will be received after the 12th of this month. The burthen which this inundation of Dutch has occasioned to France, in this moment of impotence, is doubly felt; and the towns of Bethune, St. Venant, Aix, and St. Omers, which are filled with these fugitives, complain very heavily of the hardship of being obliged to provide lodgings for them, and blankets.
The Court of Justice, in the province of Gueldres, has cited the Baron de Capeller, accused of high treason and sedition, to appear personally before them, and sentence of death will be pronounced against him.
All those who had contributed to the defence of Utrecht, are condemned to exile for three years from that province.
By a gentleman just arrived from St. Omers, we are informed, that two camps are ordered to be formed in French Flanders; one at Valenciennes, and the other at Lille.
Letters by the last Flanders mail confirm the news that the States General have resolved to take ten thousand German troops into their pay; and that the Duke of Brunswick has already marched two thousand five hundred men, consisting of two regiments of infantry of 1000 each, two hundred dragoons, and three hundred artillery, into the territories of the republic, being the quota he has contracted for.
Mr. Adams, the American Ambassador, takes leave of our Court previous to his return home in the course of next week.
The Germanic league is again in agitation and according to our intelligence from the continent will shortly send deputies to meet and confer upon the general interests of the empire at Mayence.
16. The revolution in Holland is diffusing its consequence through Europe, in a manner which should draw the attention of the English Politician; if there be any such character that can look beyond the enclosures of parties. Brussels and
Antwerp at this time resemble Dutch colonies; and there is a project of fixing five hundred opulent families in their neighbourhood. The lower emigrants are furnished with money and passports at Amsterdam; and are cordially received into the military in France. The desire of encouraging the emigration of the Dutch has had considerable effect on the edict concerning the protestants.
IMPEACHMENT.
This day being the commencement of Mr. Hastings' trial, on a charge of high crimes and misdemeanors.
It is somewhat very extraordinary, that the heads of all the different branches of the former government of India, are now under prosecution.
The Governor General, Mr. Hastings, prosecuted by the Commons of Great-Britain.
The Chief Justice, Sir Elijah Impey, under a similar prosecution.

SAVANNAH, March 20.
Extract of a letter from Col. James Maxwell, to Brigadier General Jackson, dated 16th March, 1788.
ON the 6th inst. Capt. Stirling of this regiment, received intelligence of a party of Indians collecting stock over the river Altamaha, whereupon he ordered 3 picked horsemen, well mounted, to cross the river. They lay that night at the evacuated fort called Williams's, and on Saturday morning proceeded up the south side of the river, and at Phinholoway creek found their trail, which they followed, and about two o'clock came up with them, twelve in number, with seventeen head of cattle and a drove of hogs. The white party immediately charged and drove the Indians for a considerable distance, until they gained a bay, where they resolutely faced about, and finding the small number of whites, entered into a spirited action, which continued for some time, during which two of the Indians were killed; but the superiority of numbers obliged the white party to retreat, after losing one of their horses killed, another so wounded as to be of little service, one of the men wounded through the hand, and another slightly in the neck. I make no doubt but they will leave the stock and make off, as this is the first check they had in this part.
"The names of the five brave men who fought so superior a number, almost three to one, and who would certainly have destroyed the Indian party but for the swamp, are Green, Harvey, King, Waggoner, and Corker; Green was slightly wounded in the neck, Harvey rendered unfit for action by a shot in the hand, King's horse was wounded, Waggoner's horse was killed on the spot, and his rifle choked almost the first fire, and Corker lost his only flint in the action, yet, with all those disadvantages, they made a safe and secure retreat. Waggoner, a poor man, lost his horse, bridle, saddle, and blanket. I hope his country will make him whole. Capt. Lewis, whose company is very valuable, has scouted as far as O'copie without finding a sign. Most of the settlers on the frontiers have removed to their plantations. A white man was with the party, but kept aloof during the action."
Extract from brigade Orders, dated 18th March 1788.
"The general requests Col. Maxwell to present his warmest thanks to Green, Harvey, King, Waggoner and Corker, the five brave men of his regiment who so gallantly engaged so superior a number of Indians over the Altamaha, on the 6th inst. and to assure them, he will make a point of acquainting his honor the governor, and the honorable the executive, of their conduct. He hopes their example will be followed by every party who are fortunate enough to fall in with our savage enemy."
JOHN LUCAS, Aid de Camp."
Augusta, March 8.
Our accounts from the frontiers are distressing. The savages, who are very numerous on the other side of the Oconee, frequently cross over and commit theft and murder in the settlements on that river.—Last week they killed a man near Williamson's swamp, burnt three houses, and drove off a number of cattle.

NEW-PORT, April 7.
The Hon general assembly of this state, on Saturday evening, adjourned to the first Wednesday in May next, then to meet in this town.
We hear, that during their session, they have extended the limitation act four years—that the affair of equal representation is again referred to a future assembly—and that by the returns made of the yeas and nays for the adoption or rejection of the proposed federal constitution (agreeable to a late act of assembly) there appeared to have been given in, throughout the state, 232 yeas—2708 nays.
WORCESTER, April 10.
ELECTIONEERING.
On Monday last, at closing the poll in this town, for the Governor of the commonwealth, the number stood as follows viz. for our present worthy commander in chief,
His Excellency John Hancock, Esq. 92 Hon. Elbridge Gerry, Esq. 37  For LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. Hon. Benjamin Lincoln, Esq. 66 James Warren, Esq. 45 Samuel Adams, Esq. 10 Elbridge Gerry, Esq. 5
We hear from various parts of the commonwealth that his excellency John Hancock, Esq. will have a very large majority of votes for Governor.
So many gentlemen are voted for, for the office of Lieutenant Governor, that it is expected there will be no choice by the people.
It is said, that should the eastern counties of this commonwealth become a separate state, they propose giving it the name of Columbia, as an honor due to the memory of Christopher Columbus, the first discoverer of this continent, which ought to have been called by his name, and not after Americus, who was only an adventurer after riches, many years after Columbus had found the new world as it was then called.

By accounts from various parts of the ocean, since our last, we learn of many unhappy shipwrecks and disasters, in the month of January and March, vessels and unfortunates not known.
Nothing of a local nature, worthy the public notice, has taken place since last Thursday, except the riotous proceedings in this city. And, as it is not possible to ascertain an exact account, it was thought best, on the whole, not to attempt a narration at present. It must however afford satisfaction to the public that the tumult has subsided.
The charge of his honor chief justice Morris, delivered to the grand-jury, this day, at the City Hall.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
ALL offences committed within this city and county, from treasons to trespasses, are the objects of your inquiry; and the sheriff's calendar will furnish you with those offenders that are in custody, and their offences.
The late public tumults in this city, require your immediate and vigilant attention: common report ascribes their rise to some very indecent and impious plunder of dead bodies from their graves in the several church yards. If this report is founded in truth, which undoubtedly it is, you will readily account for the resentment that has seized the minds of the remaining relatives of such deceased persons—it is an apology for many indiscretions; but, gentlemen, our laws are competent to punish any degree of guilt, and a vigilant and minute enquiry by so respectable a grand jury, cannot fail to fix the offence upon the real offenders, that they may be brought to justice, the laws of our country satisfied, and the minds of our good citizens quieted, in the fullest confidence, that the ashes of their relatives shall rest in peace in their graves.
Permit me, Gentlemen, to press this business upon you, and to beg it may be the first you attend to, the peace and good order of the city being of the utmost importance to every good citizen.
I have the fullest confidence, Gentlemen, that when the public are satisfied that you have undertaken the business, and that a careful and attentive examination will by you be made, uneasiness will cease, and order will be restored.
When this is gone through, it becomes your duty, gentlemen, to enquire into the late riot; and though it might be palliated in the first stages of it, yet, after every search was made to satisfy the wishes of the people, the attack upon the goal, and the insults offered to the magistrates, were altogether inexcusable, and in their tendency threaten the very subversion of the government. You will therefore make it an object of your attention and examination. With these observations, and a perfect reliance on your vigorous exertions, I dismiss you.
The Grand Jury for the city and county of New-York, deeply impressed with the importance of the above Charge, have requested permission of his honor the Chief Justice to publish the same.
And being anxious to discover the perpetrators of the offences therein mentioned, do request those persons who can give any information that may lead to a discovery, will acquaint them therewith, during their present sitting, at Simmons's Tavern, in Wall-Street.
By order of the Grand Jury, WILLIAM NEILSON, Foreman. New-York, April 15, 1788.

To the afflicted with WORMS.
LATELY received from the western country, and may be had at No. 21, Beekman-street, an extraordinary and never-failing WORM POWDER. From long experience it has been found, that three doses of these Powders will effectually destroy the Worms, either in children or grown persons. New-York, Sept. 13, 1787. 32—c.d.
New-York, Elizabeth Town, and Philadelphia New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to me their favors of the public.
The stage will leave Paules-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line. JOHN MERCEREAU, JOHN HEARD, CHARLES BASONETT, WILLIAM KERLIN.
THE PUBLIC
ARE RESPECTFULLY INFORMED, THAT the subscriber has lately removed from Princeton, New-Jersey to this city, and now keeps the house lately kept by Talmadge Hall, No. 49, Cortland-street (commonly known by the Bolton, Albany, and Philadelphia General stage-office) and has agreed with the proprietors of the Albany and Bolton stages, to make his house the public stage-house. Those ladies and gentlemen who wish to take passage in either of these stages, will please to leave their names with the subscriber the evening before the stage's departure; gentlemen passengers and others, are informed that the subscriber keeps a house of entertainment; and accommodates gentlemen with boarding and lodging. Every attention will be paid to those who please to favour him with their custom.
N. B. The gentlemen of the city are informed that the subscriber has a large convenient assembly room, which he proposes to let during the winter season, or longer if required. CHRISTOPHER BEEKMAN. New-York, Nov. 13, 1787. 51—th.
To be SOLD CHEAP, At PRIVATE SALE,
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 stories 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 of the road, stands a commodious store, commanding trade of the back country; also a young orchard of good fruit trees. The whole of this 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; if not sold by the first day of April next, then to be rented. For terms apply to DIRCK LEFFERTS, in Maiden-lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same.
The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser. If any person wants to view the place, apply to D. Lefferts, he will send a person with him.
