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 inclosed with 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.

The Bill for raising money to complete the Court-House and Gaol of Columbia County, were read a third time and pass- ed the House.
The Bill for the relief of Francis Up- ton, was read a second time and com- mitted.
Mr. Sylvester from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of the in- habitants of Kinderhook, reported, that they have leave to bring in a Bill at the next meeting of the Legislature, for erect- ing a toll bridge over Kinderhook Creek, first advertising the same six weeks in the newspaper printed at Hudson.
Mr. Benson wished that the word Hud- son might be struck out; it would be im- proper that the printer at that place should ever again be entrusted to print any thing for the public: and though it might not be strictly proper to speak of an absent in- dividual, he however thought it his duty to relate the following facts to the House.
That some time since an individual at Hudson, had petitioned to the Commis- sioners of the Land-office, for an extensive and valuable grant of the soil under water, on the Hudson river, near the city of Hudson; the petitioner on producing to the Board a regular set of newspapers, in which was contained an advertisement, agreeable to law, giving notice of his intended applica- tion, and no objections being made to the same, obtained a grant from the Commis- sioners agreeable to the prayer of his peti- tion, comprehending the only shad fishery on that part of the river. Some time after the grant was made, the Board received se- veral remonstrances complaining of the said grant, and that it had been made in a pri- vate manner, and without the knowledge and consent of the people. An enquiry was immediately made into this business, and on examining the printer at Hudson, (Mr. Stoddard) it was discovered that the Board had been imposed upon, as the said printer had only printed one paper on each day of publication, containing the adver- tisement. The man, he said, who would be guilty of such an act of deception and fraud, should never again meet the confidence of the public.
The word Hudson was then struck out, and Albany inserted.
On the question to agree to the report of the Committee as amended, it was carried in the Affirmative.
Mr. Sickles moved for a resolution, that if the Senate would agree to the same, the Legislature would adjourn on the 18th in- stant.
This was agreed to and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
Went into Committee on the Bill to ena- ble David Richard Floyd to add Jones to his surname:
Mr. Havens in the Chair.
The Committee having agreed to the Bill without amendment, rose and reported ac- cordingly.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Brooklyn Fire Bill, without amendment.
That they had also passed a Resolution, appointing James Duane, John Lawrence, Lewis Morris, John Vanderbilt, John Ha- ring and Samuel Townsend, a Committee on the part of the Senate, to meet at the Secretary's office on the last Tuesday of May next, to canvass and estimate the votes for the Senators to be elected at the ensuing election:
That they had also passed a Resolution respecting Gore and his associates; to which they requested the concurrence of the House.
The said Resolution being disagreed to, another was framed on the same principles, with amendments; which being sent to the Senate, was there agreed to.
Went again into Committee on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts:
Col. Bruyn in the Chair.
A clause was added to this Bill, autho- rizing the auditor to settle the accounts of this State with the United States; and di- recting the Treasurer to give such informa- tion and assistance in this business as may be required of him. The same clause appoints William Denning a Commissioner to assist the Auditor in the settlement of those ac- counts; with an allowance of 350l. a year for his services.
On motion of Mr. Sickles, the petition of Mrs. Blaw was again read.
Mr. Jones moved for a clause, to restore to Eleanor Blaw, all the property of her late husband, in the city of New-York, and which has not been sold, to be for her use during her natural life; and afterwards, to be equally divided amongst her children.
Mr. Brooks seconded the motion.
On the question, it was agreed to unani- mously.
Mr. Jones made a motion to erase the first clause of the Bill, making provision for the payment of a number of cannon, re- moved from New-York, in 1776.
After some little consideration, the moti- on was agreed to.
The Committee then rose, and reported progress.
Adjourned till to-morrow morning, 9 o'clock.
Friday, March 14.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
The Bill to enable David Richard Floyd, to add Jones to his surname; was read a third time, and passed the House.
Went again into Committee on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts:
Col. Bruyn in the Chair.
On motion of Mr. Benson, a clause was added for the relief of Abraham Hodges.
On motion of Mr. Brooks, a clause was added, declaring that the exemption in the Militia Law, intended for those Officers who had served during the war, should not be deemed to exempt such persons, who having been Officers as aforesaid, had join- ed the enemies of the United States during the late war.
On motion of Mr. Winn, a clause was added to prevent the obstruction of the fish, going up the river Susquehannah, and to keep the navigation of the same free, and unimpeded.
There was a division on this clause.
Ayes, 31.

A NY one who will review the history of English politics for several years past, must perceive that they have been di- rected without system. To establish this, it is only necessary to examine one circum- stance fresh in the mind of every man.
The American war was prosecuted at a very great expence, on the publicly decla- red opinion, that the retaining America was necessary to the existence of England; but America being now separated from England, the present politics are, that she is better without her than with her. Both these cannot be true, and their contradiction to each other shews a want of system. If the latter is true, it amounts to an impeach- ment of the political judgment of govern- ment, because the discovery ought to have been made before the expence was gone into. This single circumstance, yet fresh in every man's mind, is sufficient to create a
suspicion, whether the present measures are more wisely founded than the former ones: and whether experience may not prove, that going to war for the sake of the Stadtholder, or for the hope of retain- ing a partial interest in Holland, who, un- der any connection can, from circumstances, be no more than a neutral power, is not as weak policy as going to war to retain A- merica.
If England is powerful enough to main- tain her own ground and consequence in the world as an independent nation, she needs no foreign connection. If she is not, the fact contradicts the popular opinion that she is. Therefore, either her politics are wrong, or her true condition is not what she supposes it to be. Either she must give up her opinion to justify her politics, or re- nounce her politics to vindicate her opi- nion.
If some kind of connection with Holland is supposed to be an object worthy some expence to obtain, it may be asked why was that connection broken by making war upon her in the last war. If it was not then worth preserving without expence, is it now worth re-obtaining at a vast ex- pence? If the Hollanders do not like the English, can they be made to like them a- gainst their wills? If it shall be said that under the former connection they were unfriendly, will they be more friendly un- der any other? They were then in as free a situation to chuse as any future circum- stances can make them, and, therefore, the national governing sentiment of the country can be easily discovered, for it signifies not what or who a Stadtholder may be, that which governs Holland is, and always must be, a commercial principle, and it will fol- low this line in spite of politics. Interest is as predominant and as silent in its oper- ations as love; it resists all the attempts of force, and countermines all the stratagem of control.
The most able English statesmen and po- liticians have always held it as a princi- ple, that foreign connections served only to embarrass and exhaust England. That, sur- rounded by the ocean, she could not be in- vaded as countries are on the continent of Europe, and that her insular situation dic- tated to her a different system of politics to what those countries required, and that to be enleagued with them was sacrific- ing the advantages of situation to a capricious system of politics. That though she might serve them, they could not much serve her, and that as the service must at all times be paid for, it could always be procured when it was wanted; and that it would be better to take it up in this line than to embarrass herself with speculative alliances that served rather to draw her into a con- tental war on their account, than extri- cate her from a war undertaken on her own account.
From this discussion of the affairs of Hol- land, and of the inadequacy of Holland as an object for war, we will proceed to shew that neither England nor France are in a condition to go to war, and that there is no present object to the one or the other to recompence the expence that each must be at, or arone to the subjects of either for the additional burthens that must be brought upon them. I defend the cause of the poor, of the manufacturers, of the tradesman, of the farmer, and of all those on whom the real burthen of taxes fall— but above all, I defend the cause of hu- manity.
It will always happen, that any rumor of war will be popular among a great num- ber of people in London. There are thou- sands who live by it; it is their harvest; and the clamor which those people keep up in newspapers and conversations, pass- es unsuspiciously for the voice of the peo- ple, and it is not till, after the mischief is done, that the deception is discovered.
Such people are continually holding up in very magnified terms the wealth of thena- tion, and the depressed condition of France, as reasons for commencing a war, without knowing any thing of either of these sub- jects.
But admitting them to be as true as they are false, as will be hereafter shewn, it cer- tainly indicates a vileness in the national disposition of any country, that will make the accidental internal difficulties to which all nations are subject, and sometimes en- cumbered with, a reason for making war upon them. The amazing encrease and mag- nitude of the paper currency now floating in all parts of England, exposes her to a shock as much more tremendous than the shock occasioned by the bankruptcy of the South Sea funds, as the quantity of credit and paper currency is now greater than they were at that time. Whenever such a cir- cumstance shall happen, and the wisest men in the nation are, and cannot avoid being, impressed with the danger, it would be look- ed upon a baseness in France to make the distress and misfortune of England a cause and an opportunity for making war upon her, yet this hideous infidelity is publicly avowed in England. The bankruptcy of 1719, was precipitated by the great credit which the funds then had, and the conf-

dence which people placed in them. Is not credit making infinitely greater strides now than it made then? Is not confidence equally as blind now as at that day? The people then supposed themselves as wise as they do now, yet they were miserably deceived, and the deception that has once happened will happen again from the same causes.

To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and Assembly convened. The Petition of the Congregation of the Reformed German Church of the German Flats, of the County of Montgomery, Most Humbly Sheweth,
THAT HANS DEDRICK STALEY, and others, by Indenture, bearing date the 18th day of September, 1765, conveyed to Peter Remsen, late of the City of New-York, merchant, deceased, Lots No. 45, 46, and 47, in a patent granted to Rudolph Staley, and 16 others, situate, lying and being on the south side of the Mohawk River, at a place called the German Flats, in the County aforesaid, to have and to hold the said three Lots of Land, unto the said Peter Remsen, his Heirs and Assigns, in trust for the maintenance and support of the officiating Minister of the Gospel for the time being, of the church aforesaid. That the said Hans Dedrick Staley, and the rest of the grantees aforesaid, gave the said Conveyance under an impression that the said premises above-mentioned would be for the benefit of the Church aforesaid, and not for the maintenance of the officiating Minister thereof only, which will appear by the Certificate hereunto annexed, signed by the present officiating Minister: That several of the parties to the said Indenture have since died, and some of the Heirs are Minors: That others of the said parties have been attainted for adhering to the enemy, during the late war, and their estates forfeited to the people of this State. Great inconveniencies arise to your Petitioners, the said Church, and the present Minister thereof, from the execution of the said trust by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, by reason of the distance they live at from the said land: And that the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen are desirous of being exonerated from the further execution of the said trust. Thus circumstanced, your Petitioners are advised that the interposition of the Legislature is necessary to prevent all future inconveniencies arising from the execution of the trust aforesaid, by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, to insure the advantages which the Grantees of the said trust intended the Church aforesaid should derive from it.
YOUR Petitioners therefore pray, That the Honorable the Legislature will be pleased to pass an Act, to direct an assignment of the said trust to or vest the said land in the Trustees and their Successors, for the sole benefit and behoof of their said Church, or to grant unto your Petitioners such other relief, in the Premises, as to the Honorable the Legislature shall seem meet. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
