HAVING stated in your Paper of Saturday last, the amount of principal and interest due on the State Debt, to the first of January, 1788, we are naturally led to examine into the nature and solidity of the funds for the liquidation of the principal, and the regular payment of the interest annually; but on enquiry with respect to the interest, no means whatever are provided. It is true we discover a great deal of State faith pledged, and Legislative promises in abundance. The great amount of both principal and interest arises under the act of the 18th April, 1786; the Legislature then assembled, provided for the payment of interest to the amount of 38,098l. 6s. 9d. and the Legislature assembled in 1787, directed the payment of a like amount of interest, which is now paying: but neither of these payments is equal to a year's interest on the debt of the State; and what is still worse, the State Creditor must wait for, in anxious suspense, the vote of each succeeding meeting of the Legislature, before he knows when and what proportion of his annual interest he will receive.
I am well aware that the accumulated amount of interest due on the State Debt, is much greater than can be provided for prudently by a direct tax on the citizens; but that it ought to be paid is certain.
The amount of Interest Certificates in circulation is L. 150,179 10 8 Three years interest due on the principal, January 1, 1788, 115,132 16 3 Interest due on Old Certificates, 25,558 19 11
This sum will be reduced by one fourth of the Interest Certificates now paying at the Treasury L. 37,544 17 8 And by three years interest on at least 40,000l. of State Debt, in the hands of Commissioners of Forfeitures, 7,200 0 0
Accumulated interest to be provided for L. 246,126 9 2 In order to effect the payment of so large a sum with ease to the citizens, I propose to borrow that amount on loan for fourteen years, redeemable within that time, on an interest at six per cent. per annum, which will require funds to be provided equal to an annual interest of 14,767 0 0
No doubt I shall be asked where will the man be found disposed to lend the State of New-York 1000l. on any terms. I admit there is too much reason for asking the question, and should a pressing moment arrive to put it to the trial, the consequence might be dreadful. Still there is one set of persons would, in this instance, be glad to lend on a good security; I mean the present holders of the Interest debt.
I am aware also, that the most unpopular of all Legislative Acts, is that of levying money on the citizens for the support of Government; but it is a tax we must pay for the quiet possession of our liberties and our property.
Rum, brandy, and other spirituous liquors, have ever been held a proper subject of taxation, and being a luxury pernicious to the constitution of man, and tending in a degree to check the growth of agriculture in the State, I would recommend an excise on all those articles imported into this State at per gallon equal to 5,000 0 0
I would also recommend that every importer or other dealer except Tavern-keepers, of rum, brandy, and other spirituous liquors, pay annually to the Treasurer of this State, the sum of five pounds. This tax we may take at 5,000 0 0
And that every Tavern-keeper be obliged to take an annual licence in proportion to the rent or value of his house. This may be taken at 5,000 0 0
That every Auctioneer or Vendue Master pay annually for a licence, the sum of 50l. This with the duty on sales at auction, will produce 3,000 0 0
Here will be a surplus of L. 3,233 0 0 to be carried to a sinking fund for the discharge of the principal of the State debt.
Having disposed of the accumulated interest on the State Debt, we are next to turn our attention to the principal, which consists of the new loan in Circulation, L. 697,774 12 7 And of original State Certificates, 75,196 13 2
L. 772,971 5 9
This may be reduced in the course of the year 1788, by a variety of means. The first that presents itself is, the amount of State Debt in the hands of the Commissioners of Forfeitures, 40,000 0 0
Arrears of Taxes ordered to be raised during the war, is near 100,000l. of which sum may be collected this year, 50,000 0 0
There is as much due for arrears of Quit Rents and commutation of Quit Rent, if aliens are allowed to pay in Certificates, there may be collected this year, 50,000 0 0
Sales of forfeited and waste land, exclusive of the Southern District may be made in the year to at least, 100,000 0 0
Sales of State Lots in New-York, may be estimated at, 40,000 0 0
This sum in State Debt to be collected in the year 1788, L. 280,000 0 0
Thus the State Debt may be reduced on the first day of January, 1789, to L. 492,971 5 9
The interest on this sum to be provided for in the ordinary ways and means of the year will be, L. 27,113 8 0
It has been before remarked, that the quantity of Continental debt in the Treasury of New-York exceeds the State's proportion, L. 13,134 0 0, and that about L. 70,000 more would be paid in for lands already sold. It is a question worth a thought, whether it would not be advisable to empower the Treasury to exchange this excess of Continental debt for State debt, provided it can be effected without any loss to the State.
I shall now endeavor to shew the probable receipts of money into the Treasury, in the course of the year, and enquire what claims there are on it.
Balance of cash in the Treasurer's hands, Jan. 1, 1788, L. 11,519 14 10
Paid by the customs on the following day, 10,333 0 0
The probable amounts of the customs for the year 1788, from the increased duties that took place in August last, will hardly be less than 60,000 0 0
The arrears of the late 50,000l. Tax take at 5,000 0 0
The arrears of the late 50,000l. Tax, take at 50,000 0 0
The 50,000l. Tax, now collecting, may be estimated at 45,000 0 0
Note. This ought to have come into the Treasury in the last year. Surplus of Continental Indents in the Treasury, to sell one moiety of them at a very low rate, will produce, 7,425 10 0
Surplus of Taxes necessary to pay the interest on money borrowed as before stated, 3,233 0 0
L. 142,511 4 10
Out of this sum the Treasurer, is now paying one fourth of the interest Certificates in circulation, 37,544 17 8
Next in order is the balance in specie, due on the requisition of Congress, for the year 1786, 26,610 0 0
To the officers of Government, Members of the Legislature, Delegates to Congress and other incidental expences, 23,000 0 0
One year's interest on the principal Debt, supposed to be out standing on the 1st January 1789, 27 113 8 0 Balance unappropriated on the 1st January, 1789, 28,242 19 2
The surplus of money supposed to remain in the Treasury after every demand on the State is paid, amounting to L. 28,242 19 2 should be lodged in the hands of Commissioners for the express purpose of being invested in the debt of the State at the market price. This practice is justified by the usage of Europe, nor indeed can any holder of State debt complain while his interest is regularly paid, and his principal is not due until 1790. I shall conclude these remarks with an abstract from a small pamphlet lately published in Philadelphia, speaking of the appropriation of a sinking fund for reducing the State debt at the market price. The author lays, "And however dishonorable it may be to a State or Nation, to sacrifice the property of its creditors by neglecting to make provision for discharging its engagements, it can reflect no dishonor on a State which fairly funds its debts, and punctually pays the interest, to purchase the principal at the market price. But in order to effect this desirable purpose, a strict adherence to system, and a sacred regard to appropriations are highly necessary, as well in the Executive as the Legislative departments. If the Legislature would regularly and uniformly assign funds for every expenditure they authorize to be made, and oblige their officers so to form and keep their accounts as to shew that every disbursement was paid out of, and fairly charged upon the fund assigned for that purpose, it would not only produce regularity and order in the several offices, but tend much to produce economy in public affairs." A Citizen of the State of New-York.

DONE, in Convention, at Augusta, in the said State, on the second day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States the twelfth.
CHARLESTON, January 25.
On Sunday last went passenger in the Olive-Branch, Capt. Hercules Angus, bound to London, Mr. John Fraser, a gentleman who has been in this State for eighteen months collecting the vegetable tribes of the country; by his indefatigable perseverance, and unequalled industry (even in the sickly months) his botanic collection, though confined to his researches in this State, exceeds by some hundreds of native plants, the number formerly described to belong to the continent of North America. The collection he has carried with him, consists of several new genera, and a great variety of new species, which may be considered as a proof, that the vegetable world is but faintly explored; and the specimens in his possession, which are so masterly preserved, will be an evidence in support of his superior merit in this line, and no doubt will recommend him particularly to the attention of men of science, as certain as it will raise him above the prejudice of illiberal criticism.
Tuesday arrived, after a tedious passage, the brig Ann, Capt. Glasgow, from Larne, with near 200 passengers, all in good health, and most of them very valuable people, especially in a country whose riches depend on its population. They speak much of the great desire of the people of Antrim to come to this place, and of the humane and generous behavior of their Captain towards them on the passage.

New-York, Feb. 5.
The Legislature of the State of South-Carolina have appointed the 12th of May next for the meeting of their Convention, to decide on the New Federal Constitution.
A London paper of November 18, has the following paragraphs:
"Yesterday some dispatches were received over land from Lord Cornwallis, in consequence of which a Council was immediately held, at the breaking up of which orders were sent to Lord Hood, at Portsmouth, not to pay off any of the ships under his Lordship's command. Similar orders were likewise dispatched from the Lords of the Admiralty to the Commanders at Plymouth and Chatham."
"Accounts both from Paris and the Hague mention a bloody engagement, in which 4000 Russians, having been artfully surrounded in the Cuban by 30,000 Tartars, were without distinction massacred.

On the 16th, the Pensionary of the Province communicated to the Assembly, that the Deputy of Utrecht had transmitted the day before to the Assembly of their High Mightinesses, a resolution of the States of that Province, dated the 12th October, which had been taken ad referendum , by the six other Provinces. The tenor of which, is as follows:
EXTRACT from the RESOLUTION of L. N. P. the States of the Country of Utrecht, Friday, October 12, 1787.
"The same having been taken into consideration, it was judged proper to authorize the Deputies of this Province to the States-General, and they are hereby authorized to propose to the Assembly of their High Mightinesses, whether, considering the part which the Courts of London and Berlin have been pleased to take, relative to the differences, which have brought this Republic to the brink of irreparable destruction, and the efforts they have made to re-establish its peace and union; whether it would not be useful and consistent with the true interests of the Country, as well for the further preservation and esta-

blissment of its tranquillity, as to prevent any trouble which may be given to the Republic, either from within or from without ; that measures be taken to conclude the most strict defensive alliances with the Crowns of England and Prussia, on the same footing on which such engagements were framed with the Court of France: Provided, nevertheless, that such alliance may be effected on equitable and favorable terms, and to the best advantage of the Republic; and provided, that the case of alliance ( casus fœderis ) be as clearly determined and defined as possible, to the end, that on similar occasions, the Republic may, on that point, be saved from all disagreeable discussions, as has heretofore been the case, and in such manner also, as that the way may remain open for other powers to accede to this alliance.
The said Deputies to the States General are further authorised (in case the other Confederates appear inclined to such definitive alliance) to use their endeavors that their High Mightinesses present their thanks by letter to the King of Prussia for the deliverance brought to this Republic, and to inform him at the same time of the desire of their High Mightinesses to conclude a definitive Alliance with his Prussian Majesty on equitable and reasonable terms, such as shall be judged most for the interest of the two countries, and also to inform him, that their High Mightinesses design to propose a like defensive alliance with his Britannic Majesty, and that considering the connection subsisting between his Prussian Majesty and the King of Great Britain, they are persuaded that such design will not be disagreeable to his Prussian Majesty. The said Deputies are also authorised to facilitate and accelerate as much as possible the return of the Prussian troops, who it is hoped will speedily quit the territories of this Republic. Or in case it should be judged necessary for the safety of the Republic to detain the said troops some time longer, that in such case his Prussian Majesty be requested to leave a few of his regiments, for a certain fixed time, at the pay and orders of the Republic.

TUESDAY, 29th January, 1788. An advertisement having appeared in this day's paper, in which Mr. Blair McClenachan is mentioned as late of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, and as an absent Debtor. — This notice is given to the person who published that advertisement, and to every other person con- cerned, that Mr. McClenachan not only was, but still is a merchant, a man of property, and an in- habitant of Philadelphia, the only part of Ameri- ca in which he ever resided; and any person having just claims upon him, may have a legal remedy, by an application there. The author of this notice gives it principally to remove any groundless sus- picions or ideas, which the advertisement may occasion, concerning a worthy citizen of the U- nited States, whose person and property have often been risked in their service. tf.
THE author of Blair McClenachan's vindication in yesterday's paper, seems to be little ac- quainted with the laws of the state of New-York, and much less with the principles of the man whom he endeavours to defend. It may not be amiss to inform the public, that Blair McClenachan has al- ready suffered his property to be attached in the is- land of St. Eustatia, in the year 1786, by his cre- ditors. Now in the name of common sense, why should a citizen of the state of New-York, be ob- liged to go to the state of Pennsylvania, or to Algiers, or any other place, and enter into a litigation with Blair McClenachan, when the laws here afford a sufficient remedy? If Blair McClenachan is a man of such property and so worthy a citizen as his friend pretends that he is, why has he not paid the debt, which is the ground of the attachment? The DEBT IS JUST—HAS BEEN LONG DUE—and payment of it has often been demanded. The public therefore will judge whether Blair McClen- achan acts like a worthy citizen, in still refusing payment of the debt; when, according to his friend's account, the want of property is not the cause of it. New-York, Jan. 31, 1788. tf.
