L O N D O N, March 12. At length it is solemnly decreed by the higher powers, to subdue per fas et nefas , the liberty of the press ; — and who so proper as JOHNNY WILKES to forge the fetters , so powerfully ordained for what was once the GOD of his idolatry!
The liberty of the press bill will be drawn upon the new principle of legal ambiguity ; so that its baneful object will be retrieved for a declaratory bill to accomplish!
Mr. Hume, in his history of England, has this passage, vol. VIII, page 332, relative to the press: — “The liberty of the press did not even commence with the revolution — It was not till 1694 that the RESTRAINTS were taken off, to the great DISPLEASURE of the King and his MINISTERS .” — This grand bulwark of English freedom, will, however, expire within the period of one century, unless a becoming resistance is made to the meditated encroachments now on foot.
The ARBE RAYNAL , in his history of the Indies, furnishes this apposite quotation, relative to the peculiar liberty of the press — “Will a single (English) citizen, left to his own strength, ever venture to strive against the power — always formidable — of those who govern? Will he not necessarily be crushed by their oppression? — This would undoubtedly be the case, were it not for the INDEFINITE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS !”

“As there were very hard times this winter here, we left Red-stone the 2d day of March, as the river then opened; we got about 30 miles down the river, it was frozen across, and there we lay 15 days in ice, we were almost perished; after we left Pittsburg, we came to Limestone, in four days, in going down the river we run on the point of an Island in the night, close upon the Indian shore, but nothing was hurt. I and two more men went out of the boat next morning, and showed her off with ease; the Indians were very troublesome; they killed and robbed all they came across, There were Mr. Rytcout, Mr. Province, Mr. Ferguson, and Mr. Black, who went with us from Limestone to the falls, and two more boats in company with them; unluckily they were taken by the Indians and killed at the Miami. Coming to Lexington we lay at John Keyser's, and the Indians stole four horses from the inhabitants within half a mile from this place; there were two families killed there, the neighbors pursued and overtook them, killed 3 out of 5; a company of men went out after them from Lexington, and the farmers about subscribed 50 dollars for a scalp; we expect they will fly from this in a short time.”
PHILADELPHIA, May 14.
A correspondent observes — It is very pleasing to consider that, notwithstanding the great depreciation of the currency, nothing has been done by government to lessen its credit since it was emitted. It is now three years since it was introduced, and all the funds for supporting its credit which it originally had are yet in operation, as well as the funds for its final redemption; the sum stipulated to be destroyed thereof annually hath been punctually sunk, and additional funds are added for its more speedy redemption, that is, the principal of the last loan-office, from which there hath already been 2000l. counted, burnt and sunk — and a considerable sum in addition, from the same source of revenue, is now ready to be destroyed. The payment of the taxes, and other public dues, we understand, will be urged strenuously throughout the state, so that the value of the paper money of Pennsylvania must soon appreciate, and consequently be restored again to circulation.

NEW-YORK, May 17.
On Thursday the 8th inst. the anniversary election of Supreme Magistrates, and other Officers, for the government of the State of Connecticut, was held at the city of Hartford; when her Excellency SAMUEL HUNTINGTON , Esq. was elected Governor, and the Honorable OLIVER WOLCOTT , Esq. Lieutenant-Governor.
At the same time the following gentlemen were appointed Delegates to Congress, Jeremiah Wadsworth, James Hillhouse, Jonathan Sturges, John Chester, Stephen M. Mitchell, Erastus Wolcott, and Jesse Root, Esqrs.
The following Petition was presented to the Legislature of Pennsylvania on the 24th of March last, and read a second time on the 27th of March: —
To the Honorable the Representatives of the Freemen of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met.
The Petition of the Subscribers, Printers of News-papers in the city of Philadelphia, Humbly Sheweth,
THAT, from the establishment of a post-office in this country, the printers of newspapers have been accommodated, and the public greatly benefited, by the transmission of news-papers between the Colonies and provinces (now States) in the mails.
That this practice, so conducive to the preservation of liberty, and useful to the people, in maintaining harmony, removing prejudices and mistaken jealousies; and cultivating a good understanding between the distant colonies, was singularly beneficial on the approach of, and during the late glorious contest with Great Britain, as it afforded the means of regular and constant intercourse and intercommunication of sentiments between them.
That, in consequence of a regulation of the Post-Master General of the United States, this ancient and highly advantageous practice has been discontinued since the beginning of the present year, for reasons unknown to your petitioners; and your petitioners are thereby prevented from affording that satisfaction to the public of the occurrences in other States, as formerly, which is so important to the safety, interest and harmony of the United States.
That your petitioners do not desire any news-papers should be conveyed with the mails, but such only as are sent to, and exchanged with news-printers.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that your Honorable House will take the premises into consideration, and be pleased to instruct the Delegates of this Commonwealth in the Congress of the United States, to enquire into the premises, and to procure for your petitioners and their fellow printers throughout the United States of America, the restoration of this their necessary and long accustomed privilege, or such other relief in the premises as to your Honorable House may seem meet.
HALL and SELLERS, THOMAS BRADFORD, DUNLAP & CLAYPOOLE, FRANCIS BAILEY, ELEAZER OSWALD, MELCHIOR STEINER, DANIEL HUMPHREYS, JOHN MCCULLOCH. Philadelphia, March 20, 1788.
Ordered, that it be referred to Mr. Lewis, Mr. M c Lene, and Mr. J. Heister to report a draught of instructions to the delegates representing this state in the Congress of the United States if they deem necessary.
On motion of Mr. M c Lene, seconded by Mr. Findley.
Resolved, That a copy of the petition from divers printers of the city of Philadelphia, together with a copy of this resolution, be transmitted to the delegates of this state in Congress; and that they be instructed to make with all due diligence, full enquiry into the truths of the facts therein contained, and if the abuse therein complained of, shall, on such enquiry, be found to exist, the said delegates shall use their best endeavors in Congress, to obtain redress of the same, in order that a knowledge of public events may have free circulation throughout the United States of America.

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. with fore- men, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such man- ner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be re- gularly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi- red) 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 of- fice, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking 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 faulty chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, no knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf. STEPHEN PATERSON.

MONTMORIN. THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort McIntosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settlement formerly called Logstown, which was abandoned previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years. MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and abounds in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the water is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communication route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settlements; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, being all 66 feet wide, except Great George, Washington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in trustees for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the delivery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis. The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence of direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenberg and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indispensible titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appropriation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Thomas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadelphia; Mr. John Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hutley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1789.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bouquet's Expedition, 1764. Friday, Oct. 8. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the English and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ledge on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the upper town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy currents adds much to the beauty of the place. Proceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c." * * * Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor St. Clair, General Irvine, Geo. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esquires, or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. April 5.
