On account of several unforeseen accidents, the Editor has been unable to publish his New-York Directory, before this period. He has industriously endeavoured to procure a complete catalogue of the names, occupations, and places of abode of the inhabitants of this City; and flatters himself, that it is the most complete of any yet offered to the Public. The utility of a publication of this nature must be so obvious, as to render observation unnecessary; the Editor, therefore, hopes that a generous public will encourage his undertaking, which will enable him to compile his next Directory with accuracy and dispatch.

There is nothing that can give the benevolent mind greater pleasure than to alleviate the miseries of mankind, to diffuse into their troubled breasts the balm of friendship, and to gild their gloomy hours with a ray of joy.
Insensibility was never made for man, and those whose hearts are callous to the moans of distress, may be laid not to wipe off the brute.
Paint to you the situation of a person, who once lived in affluence, but by a single rotation of misfortune's wheel, he is reduced to poverty.
Benevolence, how amiable art thou!—What is there that can render a person more agreeable?
How many are there who are objects of our charity, as being invaded by languor, infirmity and affliction?
We all of us are children of a common parent, endowed with the same passions, formed for the same end, and exposed to the same accidents.
Be mine the task to calm the troubled breast, Cheer life's dull road, and lull man's cares to rest;

SEVERAL Arabs dispatched to the Captain Pacha have brought account, that Jaga Bey, the Kiaja of Murat Bey, his first Eunuch, and several chiefs of villages, in number 400, had left the rebel party, were coming to ask mercy of the Captain Pacha, and would be here in about ten days.
into the power of the conquerors, or perish for want in the deserts of Africa.
The Captain Pacha has not yet resolved upon the order of government he means to establish in Egypt; but it is supposed that he will appoint three Pashas, one at Girge, one at Cairo, and the other at Alexandria, to keep the Bays in order.
The day before yesterday two other couriers arrived here to the Captain Pacha, from his Kiaja, with accounts, that after having beaten the fugitives, he went up the Nile, to cut off all communication with Hefnawaux, and upon that river the Kiaja met Ibrahim Bey, with four boats, the only ones he could get, three of which the Kiaja sunk, and Ibrahim with much difficulty got on shore, and made his escape upon a horse without a saddle; most of his people were drowned, and the baggage lost; four Bays, who could not join Murat, have hid themselves, and it is imagined they will crave mercy; Murat himself is in an unfavorable situation, having no boats to pass the Nile, and the Captain Pacha's army guarding all the coast; he has nothing before him but steep mountains, and is in want of provisions and ammunition.

Affairs in Holland become every day more alarming, and a civil war, with all its dreadful consequences, seems at present inevitable.

We learn from the Hague, that a very serious request has been presented to the States of Holland.
The following are the three principal points: 1st. To keep close the money, with the consent of Holland, in the bank of the generality, paying only such sums as the interest, and other known public obligations, require.
2d. To employ with vigour the armed Burgesses, in conjunction with the military of the province, to prevent the horrors of a civil war.
3d. To suspend the Stadtholder from the functions of the said charge, also from his post of Admiral General, and to retain his emoluments.
This request was read in the Assembly on Friday last.

The following circumstance happened here this evening. A saddler and a taylor, both inhabitants of the town, being drinking in the kitchen of one of our principal inns, a dispute arose concerning the respectability of their professions, which produced such extremities, and aggravated the taylor so much, that he insisted on receiving gentle-
manlike satisfaction, and accordingly challenged his adversary to fight on the bowling-green, which he accepted: the seconds were then chosen out of the company, and previous to their setting out, one of them unperceived, burnt a hole in the skirt of the taylor's coat with the poker, and the landlord furnished them with pistols which he took care to load with powder only.

New-York, July 27.
On Monday the 16th inst. was committed to gaol in Albany, three negro men belonging to Schenectady, for passing Counterfeit Ten Pound Bills, of the paper money of this State.
The late Empress Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the Czar Peter the Great, who ascended the throne of Russia the 5th of December 1741, and died the 5th of January 1762, formed a resolution as soon as she was invested with the sovereignty, and from which she did not once depart, during the 20 years and one month that she reigned, not to inflict a capital punishment in any part of her immense dominions; and though the most religiously adhered to this resolution, Russia never knew a period when there was so great a security for the property and the persons of the subjects.
A writer on the present times recommends the following advice: "Let every day bear the marks of the three following political virtues, always good, & at present indispensably necessary, industry, frugality and economy.
Gentlemen and ladies, old and young, look over your expenses and manner of living. You will shew the truest and most reputable patriotism by retrenching superfluities.
Thursday the 19th inst. arrived at Philadelphia, in the Schooner Nassau, from New-Providen, Captain William Cannon and son, late of the sloop Little Robert, of New-York.

Not one man dead, by name John Rodon, badly wounded another, and Capt. Cannon was very near losing his own life, by the violence of these unprincipled ruffians. The American and French vessels were then both carried to New Providence, and condemned, with the cargo, consisting of sugar, rice, molasses, hides, cotton and cocoa. Another vessel, a Schooner, called the Friendship, Capt. Vallance of Philadelphia, was also captured, at least 20 leagues distant from Turks-Island, having taken a cargo of salt from thence. This was reported to the aforementioned Custom House vessel, who thereupon pursued the Friendship, and captured her: Both vessel and cargo are condemned. The Schooner Vigilant is an American built vessel, and has no British register; in consequence of an act of Parliament not long since made, she is therefore now up for sale on that account. It is thought, however, (says an observer) that a vessel legally incorporated from holding a British register (as being built in the United States) should nevertheless be allowed a commission to capture other vessels. At the time she took Capt. Cannon's Sloop and the Deux Amis, she was under the command of one Tattall, a legitimate son of the very worthy, honest, upright and disinterested Admiralty-Judge Tattall, of New-Providence.
Captain Cannon further relates, that notwithstanding his active, long, and well known attachment to the United States, he met with very polite usage in general from the inhabitants of Nassau, some of whom seemed inclined to assist him in repurchasing his vessel; but he soon found to his mortification, that the real day of sale would not come on during his continuance on the island of Providence. He confirms the account of the great discontent among the Bermudians, on account of the prohibitory act relative to wrecking—that all business is at a stand at Providence, many hundreds of negroes being unemployed, and absolutely perishing of want, while schemes of plunder and piracy are constantly disclosed themselves among the no less miserable refugees, who bid fair, if countenanced by Great-Britain, to be as troublesome in the western parts of the Atlantic, as ever the Barbary corsairs were on the Mediterranean.
It appears by a return made by the Adjutant of the troops stationed at Fort Harmer, at the mouth of the Muskingham, that from the 10th of October, 1786, to the 12th of May, 1787, there had passed the garrison down the Ohio—177 boats, containing 2689 fowls, 133 horses, 756 cattle, 102 wagons, and one phæton; besides a number which passed in the night unobserved.
The reason why the Assembly of Rhode Island did not appoint Delegates to attend at the Federal Convention, at their late session, is said to be this: they knew well there was not a man in the majority capable of that important trust; and in taking them from the minority, they would run counter to their favorite principle of Perseverance ; so that to conform to themselves, and not disgrace that State and the union, they have concluded to send none at all.
Extract of a letter received by a gentleman in Charles-town, from his correspondent in London dated April 19.
"I hope that natural affection, which every good man has for his country, will induce you as far as prudence can dictate, to endeavour to conciliate old friends, though in different Empires. I own myself a citizen of the world, and embrace with pleasure, every well disposed person; regardless of his country or religion. The heart is all I look to—if that be right, if it beats in unison with humanity, I shall ever be happy to embrace its owner. I think I see you laugh,——be it so——mirth is what I never object to, even though it should sometimes be caused by my own imbecility."
"As Foote said, "this curious busy town, by way of news," talks of nothing but the commercial treaty with our old antagonists the French, and the consequent consolidation of witnesses, and future trial of the able tyrant Hastings : Hitherto both parties in the House of Commons, have acquitted themselves with great honor and impartiality. Mr. Sheridan, in the longest and most admired speech that ever was uttered, placed Mr. Hastings's crimes in such various points of view, that he justly received the encomiums of Mr. Pitt, and of every person in the House. It is said to have at last equalled, if not excelled the most eloquent orators in Greece or Rome; and when we consider what excellent motives influences the exertion of this able Senator, for the protection of innocence and suppression of tyranny—we must confess that the cause of action greatly adds to its merit."
"In your next which I desire may not be delayed, I will expect some American politics. Our papers represent your States in a state of anarchy. Surely, after having acquired a victory over us, their good sense should point out the propriety, nay, the necessity of unity among themselves, least their new friends (which is much to be apprehended) take advantage of their civil dissensions."
Directions, published by the Humane Society at Philadelphia, to prevent the fatal effects of Lightning.

ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Ware-Room of Mahogany and other Furniture, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues.

Bed-Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let.

Mr. Batchelder, from the Committee to whom the said petition was referred, brought in the report of the said Committee, which was read and concurred in: Thereupon,

WHEREAS the subscriber some time since, has been concerned in trade with Thomas Rowe, of New-Milford, in Connecticut, and others, viz. John Gove, Peter Sherman and Rofwell Ransom, all of Connecticut aforesaid. And whereas all those copartnerships have long since been dissolved, that of his and Rowe, known by the firm of Nickelson and Rowe (in which all the others were comprehended) by mutual consent and agreement, August 3d, 1785, as appears by our advertisement of that date; whereby the settling all the matters of the said copartnership devolved upon the subscriber; and whereas the said Rowe, Sherman, and Ransom, have thought fit to combine together, assisted by mischievous persons, inimical to the subscriber, in order to defraud him of several thousand pounds of his property, in the hands of those late partners, by giving and receiving fraudulent discharges, and transferring property &c. &c. and still using every undue measure in their power to do him all mischief possible, he has reason to suspect that they have run him in debt since their several dissolutions on their old firms: And whereas he give firm, and obtained the credit (for the whole of those companies) in this city, he begs leave to notify his friends, all and every of them, that have any accounts, bonds or notes unsettled, against either of the firms of Nickelson and Rowe, John Gove and Co.
