NEW-YORK, June 23.
On Thursday last in the Convention of this State, Mr. Chancellor Livingston, in a Committee of the whole, made a most excellent speech on the necessity of an union between this State and the United States. In a very pathetic manner he described the peculiar and alarming situation of our country; he recommended to the route, in strong terms, coolness and candor in the discussion of the Constitution; and concluded by moving for a resolution, in substance, "That no question of general or particular, should be taken, until the Constitution shall have been discussed clause by clause; and that any amendments which shall be proposed, shall be submitted to the consideration of the Committee without any question being taken thereon." This was agreed to without opposition.

Last Tuesday arrived in Boston, from England, his Excellency, JOHN ADAMS, Esquire.
Extract of a letter from a member of the Convention of Virginia, dated June 13.
"This day has been wholly occupied in endeavoring to gain over the members of the Kentucky district, who are alarmed with an idea, that the powers of making treaties, which shall be the supreme law of the land, vested as it is in the president and the senate, will be exercised, in some fatal moment, to the prejudice of their right to the navigation of the Mississippi. Both parties have been exerting their utmost efforts, under the ill-founded apprehension that these men hold the scale between them—I say ill-founded, because my calculations, leaving them in opposition to us, give a majority of nine or ten. However, I believe they are divided—and, after all, we have more to hope than to fear from their change of sentiment."
Mr. Sheridan, (of the British house of commons) speaking of Mr. Hastings, said, "It was the fashion
of dependents, to cry Mr. Hastings up as a man of profound abilities. Upon the closest examination he could not discover the smallest symptoms of either profound abilities or an excited mind. He seemed formed by nature to move in serpentine, and approach in curves: in his conduct and his writings he exhibited a system made up of things unnaturally conjoined; his letters and his minutes were full of flitting meanness, bombastical prevarication, and ridiculously violent contradictions in terms. He joined with the most inflated bombast the most grovelling ideas, conveyed in the most beggarly garb; he so quibbled in heroic's, that his compositions hurt the mind's taste as much as his actions harrowed the soul. In short, he appeared to have a mixture of the tyrant and the trickster, at once a Scapin and a Dionysius. It seemed that all his actions were directed by a low, underhand, crooked policy; and in like manner, if he ever acted with wisdom, it was perverted wisdom. He was in this a happy representative of the policy of the East-India company; in whose government their Oriental manner of trade was eternally jarring with the greatness of empire. Indeed, this mixture of character seemed, by some unaccountable, but inherent quality, to belong to every thing that concerned the company. He remembered to have heard alaromed gentleman (Mr. Dundas) remark, that there was something in the original frame and constitution of the company, which carried on the forcible ideas of the mercantile principle on which it was founded always about them; so that even in all their measures and achievements we saw the paltry character. Thus we saw a revolution brought about by affidavit; an army employed in executing an arrest; a town besieged on a note of hand; a Prince dethroned by the balance of an account. They exhibited the genius of a government, in which they had all the majesty of a bloody sceptre, and the little traffic of a merchant's accounting house: they had trading governors and generals, auctioneering ambassadors and judges, wielding a truncheon with one hand, and it might be truly said picking a pocket with another."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Ingeram, on the coast of Coromandel, to his brother in England, dated June 21, 1787.
"On the 20th of May, during the most violent hurricane I ever saw, the sea rose about 16 feet above its natural level, and overwhelmed all the low country round about us, and in one dreadful moment swept away about 20,000 souls. Our factory being situate about five miles from the sea, we had just time to preceiv its approach, and provide for our safety by getting upon the terrace of the house, and highest ground. I lost some of my servants; and the effects of the inundation are terrible, as it not only destroyed some of our provisions, but filled our dwellings with salt water, and blasted the fruits of the earth; so that we were in imminent danger at first of perishing by famine. And from the number of dead carcasses of men and cattle upon the ground, we were very apprehensive of a pestilence, from the putrid effluvia exalting therefrom. However, God be praised, we have by slow degrees surmounted all these evils, and got into a pretty comfortable train again. It is a phenomenon we can hardly account for, as no such thing ever happened in the memory of the oldest inhabitant; as it has destroyed almost all our cattle, rendered our water unfit for use, and made our soil incapable of cultivation. My own house was unroofed, and all my doors and windows broken and blown away, and most of my furniture, books, &c. buried in salt mud; the wall of my garden totally carried away, and all my collection of plants that I have been long gathering quite destroyed."
"My warehouses and offices were most of them level with the ground, and the goods therein greatly damaged or totally lost. However, I have the pleasure to say, that I shall not be so great a sufferer as I at first apprehended, my piece goods being mostly provided on commission, and my constituents at once determining that as no loss arose from any neglect of mine, but from a visitation of Providence, they did not consider me in any degree responsible, but they considered my own private losses as much as fell to my share."
On Friday arrived the brig Patty, Mallaby, in 17 days from St. Thomas;
Schooner Hawke, Dann, from St. John's N. B.; and
Sloop Friendship, Moor, from Antigua.
Same day cleared out the Sloop Commerce, Mason, for Grenada; and Sloop Philadelphia Packet, Baily, for Philadelphia.
LETTERS from the DEAD to the LIVING.
I have a daughter, whom I shall name LIBERTILLA, who has but lately arrived at years of discretion. She has been educated in the best manner my circumstances would permit, and is become heir, by the death of her mother-in-law, to an independent estate. A small part of its produce, by proper management, will soon free it from every encumbrance occasioned by the late war. Altho' you may judge me partial to my own, I can assure you that the possessies many valuable accomplishments, and has been enthusiastically admired in every foreign country she has visited. Such qualifications I was in hopes would have recommended her to the discerning throughout the states, and that she might have obtained such connections as would have secured her person and property from fortune hunters; for this purpose we therefore came to a resolution to let her take the tour of her country. But whether this should be in the dress she put on when she first came to be of age, which was the first effay of our American fabrication, but which has now become antiquated and the wore for wear; or whether we should clothe her in an entire new suit of home manufacture with many improvements; or whether in a foreign or spotted garb like Joseph's coat, my children and friends could not agree. That we might not do any thing rashly, we judged it prudent to have a general consultation, that all might give their opinion in regard to the dress most suitable to her. Here some were of opinion that the clothing she had would still do with alterations, and amendments; others argued the necessity of an entire new garb: but whether it ought to be solely of American fabrication or have foreign materials added to it, they could not well agree in, which caused some warm alterations. An old lady, Madam Rough and her companion, were so frequently in support of her old dress, with a few amendments and alterations in Gothic style, that whether from pride and an opinion of their superior knowledge to all their neighbors, or from secret self interested motives, when they found a majority against them, without considering and endeavoring to confute the opinion of their neighbors, they sneaked away shamefully from open controversy to designs of latent mischief. Most people judge their conduct proceeded from self interested motives; for should LIBERTILLA be clothed in an entire American dress (as Mrs. Rough and her companion are part of a company concerned in a large store of foreign articles from which they derive great benefit) they might lose the profits on the sale of many imported articles. Some uncharitably suspect that they have been in conference with an envious and jealous rival of my daughter beyond sea, named Mrs. Britannia, who would be glad that my daughter would content herself with her old dress, and thus become contemptible in the eyes of her neighbors. That old
lady would that my daughter would gratify the affection of her former lovers, and contribute as she formerly did to her support: she had many admirers when she was in America before the late war, who would, upon such an occasion, cheerfully espouse her interest. The company in general were much displeased at the abrupt departure of Mrs. Rough and Mrs. Smooth; however, they in general advised us to send our daughter out in a dress of American fabrication, that after she had taken the tour of America and had formed connections, she then might fit her dress and deportment to the customs of her different friends. This coinciding with our opinion, we equipped her in a plain but most elegant suit of home spun: her first visit was to her acquaintance in Pennsylvania, where her dress flitting the dispositions of the people, who are great ticklers for what is plain and neat, she soon gained many admirers; 'till a few upstarts and self opinionated ladies formed a resolution to decry her beauty and dress; but happily they did not prevail. In New-Jersey her form immediately gained her universal approbation. Hearing that Rough and others had raised a party against her in New-York State, she resolved to proceed to Connecticut, where she was welcomed with much joy. People there are exceedingly fond of plain dresses and home manufactures. She met with a similar reception in Massachusetts. It's true, the people of Rhode-Island having been contaminated by the British, and lost their former probity, treated her rather disdainfully; but in return, as soon as she shall have gained full possession of her estates, they may expect her friends and connections will demand proper concessions. She has been through several of the Southern States, in some her present dress was much admired, in others some alterations were proposed, which it was judged would be an improvement to her beauty. She is now at Poughkeepsie in the State of New-York: by the last accounts I have received from thence, I am informed that Mrs. Rough and Mrs. Smooth have poisoned the minds of many persons against her, by insinuating that she is proud, haughty, and cruel in her disposition; that her outward deportment does not correspond with her inward temper and desires; that her humility, modest and plain dress is only affected, and covers a heart ambitious and avaricious; that the first will lead her to oppress those under her authority; the last to desire the property and possessions of her friends and neighbors. They say that should she fix her residence in New-York State, it may be detrimental to trade; that her manners and dress may spread like a contagion, and soon put a stop to certain advantages the family of the Yorkites enjoy from the importation of foreign articles of luxury: that before she was allowed to form connections and fix her residence here, she should be obliged to conform her garb exactly to their notions and customs, and by trial give convincing proofs that her disposition is uniformly placid, and ready to grant them her particular favors.
When I informed my neighbors and friends of the reception my daughter met with at Poughkeepsie, and they heard the futile objections made against her disposition and dress, and the conditions required before she should be allowed a residence, they were much enraged against her enemies, and it is said they are resolved, should my daughter be treated with contempt and be obliged to quit the upper part of this State, to try if they cannot obtain a residence in the lower part. 'Tis certain LIBERTILLA is generally beloved in this city, and that COMMERCILLA who lives here and has great influence, looks up to her as her avowed patroness. Should this ever be the case, 'tis supposed that the sisters of the Yorkite family will take different sides in the quarrel which may be productive of very serious consequences.
It is said Rough's friends threaten to import their goods from Canada, send all their furs and produce that way, even boards, staves and timber, in order to form commercial connections there, in spite to the merchants here: and, should they be drove to it, to try, by the assistance of their allies the Canadians and Indians, by force to regain possession of the lower part of the state, and expel the friends of LIBERTILLA. Both those schemes are laughed at as chimerical; the first would not quit cost, and the last not all the assistance they could obtain from their friends would be able to effect. The intrepid New-Englanders and the Jerseymen will, upon application, protect the rights of the Yorkers.
On the other hand it's said, that if my daughter should be allowed no residence in the city and lower counties, in the first place she will be obliged to remove her whole household, viz. her counsellors, treasurer, stewards, purveyors, clerks, &c. &c. &c. and that all her rich suitors, who from beyond sea have come to pay their addresses to her, will also remove to the place where she shall fix her residence. Now her household in New-York is supported by rents paid her by her tenants both in New-York and the other States; and should she fix her residence in some other State, New-York may forbid the further payment of other tenants here. My soul is filled with horrors, only at the idea of the dreadful consequences that may proceed from contention and division among my descendants and relations. Oh! my children! my children! reflect in your cool moments what may be the event both to your happiness, peace, for tune and lives. Forbid it, that the sword should be again unsheathed, to be plunged by a brother into a brother's bosom. Consider how distressing will be the situation of my family, separated in affection, and cutting one another's throats: LIBERTILLA's revenues neglected and diminishing—her tenants forsaking their habitations to hide themselves in the woods—my property destroyed—my debts increasing—unable to attend to the prosperity of my children—my creditors growing clamorous. I may be entirely ruined, for should my mortgagees insist upon payment of their debts while I am thus situated, they may by virtue of their contracts determine to seize my property, and take possession of part of my estate. It will be no satisfaction should they enter upon the estates of the foes of my daughter; the loss will ultimately be mine. Oh! be wise, my dear progeny, in time. Open your eyes, examine with calmness and deliberation the interest of my daughter; be not led away by insinuations to her disadvantage before you have the fullest evidence. I am so well acquainted with her disposition, that I am persuaded the more her character is scrutinized the more it will shine; and should she have any foibles (who has them not?) or there be a necessity of altering any part of her dress, such is my influence with her, and such her filial affection and openness to conviction, that I am convinced that she will always readily strive from inclination and my request, to conform her dress and actions in future to the desires and judgment of her countrymen and counsellors.
Permit her then to obtain a permanent residence among you, and soon, very soon, the blessed effects of concord will be visible, for she alone can reconcile all your differences; joy will brighten up every countenance:—instead of the roaring of cannon, and the noise of the drum and trumpet, the voice of singing and the sound of music will be heard in the land. Peace will introduce industry; industry, plenty; plenty, wealth; wealth, independence and respect—when every one in this good land shall sit down under his own vine and fig-tree, and there be none to make them afraid. That your hearts may be disposed to consult
your own interest, connected with mine and my daughter, is the wish of your progenitor. June 21. COLUMBUS.
From the ROYAL DOMINICA GAZETTE. IT has long been my sentiment, that the most common gifts of Providence are the most useful, salutary and worthy of estimation. That this opinion has not been ill founded, I will, at present, apply it to only one instance, of which I can speak with great confidence.
The common stinging nettle, apparently as useless and troublesome a plant as any that has been stigmatized with the name of weeds, is one of the most efficacious medicines we have in the vegetable kingdom: in the form of a strong decoction, or infusion, taken in the quantity of a pint a day, it is a most valuable strengthenener of general or partial relaxation. In that of a weak decoction or infusion, it proves an admirable alternative and desobtruent, in impurities of the blood, and in obstructions of the vessels. And in that of expressed juices, taken by spoonfuls, as the exigency of the case requires, is the most powerful typic in external bleedings known. Externally applied, as fermentation or poultice, it amazingly diffuses inflammation, and resolves swellings. In the common fore throat, thus applied, and internally, as a gargle, great dependence may safely be put in this common plant. I have been witness to its great efficacy therein in many instances. P. F.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends 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 coming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain laid 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, Wall-street, to see the business performed.
2d. To allow each a proper district, in such manner, 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 essential element 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 under-king 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, not 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.
