The following Charges and Proofs, respecting the conduct of PETER LANDAIS, when he commanded the Frigate Alliance...
(C O P Y.)
WE, the Officers, &c. of the American Squadron now at the Texel, this 30th day of October, 1779, do attest and declare...
1. The Captain of the Alliance did not take the steps in his power, to prevent his ship from getting foul of the Bon Homme Richard...
2. When in chase of a ship (supposed an English East-Indiaman), on the 21st day of August, 1779, Captain Landais did not do his utmost to overtake that ship...
3. Captain Landais behaved with disrespect and impertinence towards the Commander in Chief of the Squadron, on frequent occasions.
4. He disobeyed his signals.
5. He very seldom answered any of them.
6. He expressed his fears and apprehensions of being taken on the coast of Ireland; and insisted on leaving sight of it immediately...
7. His separation from the Squadron, the first time, must have happened either through ignorance or design...
8. His separation from the Squadron, the second time, must also have happened through ignorance or design...
9. On the morning of the 23rd Sept. when the Bon Homme Richard, after being off the Spurn, came in sight of the Alliance...
10. In the afternoon of the same day, Captain Landais paid no attention to signals...
11. Altho' the Alliance was a long way ahead of the Bon Homme Richard, when bearing down on the Baltic fleet...
and then, instead of coming to close action with the Countess of Scarborough, the Alliance fired at very long shot.
12. He continued to windward, and, a considerable time after the action began, fell aft and spoke the Pallas...
13. After the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis were made fast along-side of each other...
(which was not done till an hour after the engagement began) Captain Landais, out of musket-shot, raked the Bon Homme Richard with cross-bar and grape shot...
14. The Alliance then ran down towards the Pallas and Countess of Scarborough, that were, at the time, engaged at a considerable distance to leeward...
15. At last Captain Landais made sail, under his top-sails, to work up to windward, but made racks before he (being within the range of grape shot, and at the longest, three quarters of an hour before the Serapis struck) fired a second broadside into the Bon Homme Richard's larboard quarter...
16. The Alliance then passed at a very considerable distance along the larboard or off-side of the Bon Homme Richard, and having tacked and gained the wind, ran down again to leeward, and, in crossing the Bon Homme Richard's bow, Captain Landais raked her with a third broadside...
17. Sundry men were killed and wounded by the broadsides mentioned in the two last articles.
18. Captain Landais never passed on the off-side of the Serapis, nor could that ship ever bring a gun to bear on the Alliance at any time during the engagement.
19. The leaks of the Bon Homme Richard increased much after being fired upon by the Alliance; and as the most dangerous shot which the Bon Homme Richard received under the water, were under the larboard bow and quarter, they must have come from the Alliance, for the Serapis was on the other side.
20. Several people on board the Alliance told Captain Landais, at different times, that he fired upon the wrong ship; others refused to fire.
21. The Alliance only fired three broadsides while within gun-shot of the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis.
22. The morning after the engagement, Captain Landais acknowledged on board the Serapis, that he raked each time with grape-shot, which he knew would scatter.
23. Captain Landais has acknowledged since the action, that he would have thought it no harm if the Bon Homme Richard had struck, for it would have given him an opportunity to re-take her, and to take the Serapis.
24. He has frequently declared that he was the only American in the Squadron, and that he was not under the orders of Captain Jones.
25. In coming into the Texel, he declared that if Captain Jones should hoist a broad pendant, he would, to vex him, hoist another.

[To be continued.]
New-York, Nov. 10.
We are informed that the Hon. Col. Humphreys, now on his way to Mount Vernon, is to spend the winter with his Excellency Gen. Washington. - If the gratification of seeing so illustrious a Character can afford pleasure to thousands, the feelings of those, who find themselves honored by his intimacy, must be great indeed!
Yesterday arrived the brig Liberty, Williamson, in 32 days from Cayenne;
Brig Sandwich, Hammond, in 29 days from Trinidad;
Sloop Friendship, Morgan, Turk's Island, and Bermuda;
Sloop Betty, Morres, St. Croix, 29 days;
and Sloop Smith, Turk's Island.
The following anecdote has been communicated to us by a gentleman who was
present when the transaction took place. At the siege of Charleston, an American soldier had been bribed to convey to the enemy a plan and state of the works, ammunition, &c. After he had passed the lines he was discovered by the piquette; who, having repeatedly called upon him to return, were at length obliged to fire at him, and wounded him so that he could not proceed. Upon examining the papers with which he was charged, they were found so accurately and ingeniously executed, that General Lincoln was convinced they were the work of another hand, and offered the soldier his life provided he would discover the person, in the garrison, who had employed him. This offer was rejected, with an observation that he knew the risque which accompanied his attempt, and had received an adequate consideration. The usual arrangements were therefore made for his execution, and the rope being tied about his neck, the General hoping that such terrifying circumstances might have shaken his fortitude, sent an aid-de-camp to make another tender of pardon upon the same terms. "No!" exclaimed the resolute victim, "you have my life in your power - but my honor is in my own." The signal was immediately given he was consigned to eternity under the impression of this noble sentiment; and it is remarkable, that the hangman as he descended from his duty, was killed by a shot from the British Piquette. Such conduct, however, proves the inconsistency of the human character; nor is it easy to conceive how a mind so solicitous to preserve its dignity in a matter merely personal, should have condescended to engage in a treachery destructive to public confidence and allegiance.
The Prayer of an American Citizen.
By MATHIEW CAREY.
ALMIGHTY FATHER! Ope thine ear! A Crown with success my feeble pray'r! EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT may we see! Established here, this land to free From threat'ning wars and anarchy! MAY ADVERSE PARTIES CEASE TO WAGE CONTENTION WITH SO BLACK A PAGE!
Here, henceforth, may no strife arise, But who'll self-int'rest most despise! May all our judges humane be, From party, Legislators free! May just and equal laws be form'd! May freedom's shrine be never form'd! May PRINTING PRESSES still abound, To spread blest science all around! May lux'ry, vicious pest, expire! May tempta n e, honor, truth conspire To raise a virtuous race! Be this the aim of endless peace! May mis'ry want-defeat the land! May full employment at command Await each when they please, As well as that plough the seas! May pious sons ever keep A watchful eye on all their sheep, Teach them the roads that lead Unto the glorious frightful shade; To gain the pails that lead to heav'n, Where "though late, rewards" are giv'n.
All grov'ling, low pursuits contemn, The torrent of the passions stem; Forbear to quarrel with each other, But live as brother should with brother. May this free country evermore Prove to th' oppress'd a friendly shore: An ASYLUM from TYRANNY. And DIRE RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY: May they from Hants* to Georgia find A welcome hearty, warm and kind! May servitude abolish'd be, As well as negro-slavery, To make one LAND OF LIBERTY. * New-Hampshire.
From a Correspondent.
The necessity of an efficient Federal Government to render the United States respectable as a nation, has been urged by many real, and opposed by some pretended friends. - Let us attend to what those, who do not even pretend to wish us well, say on this subject.
Extract from the European Magazine for November, 1784, page 339, under the title - Political State of the Nation.
"NORTH-AMERICA, broken off from the British Empire, in other words, become independent, begins to be a kind of a vacuum in the system of politics; a remote region, unattended to by the European powers: And if Great Britain will but punish those revolted colonies with a total disregard, and perfect indifference, they will soon grow as light as chaff in the great scale of power and consequence among nations. - Already they find a necessity of adopting the Turkish mode of negotiating peace with their inland neighbors, by sending ambassadors of peace guarded with an armed force! - This may do for the Turkish Empire, great and potent as it is; but for Congress, a Government without substantial power, without money, and without property, it will never do long! A happy late peace

it will be, kept only by the Indians while the peace makers and their warlike retinue are in sight or within call. Even now the new States, boasted to be in future the greatest Empire in the world, begin, like wolves, to worry and devour one another for want of a superintending governing power, to hold an equal regulating hand over them all; and most grievously will they lament the loss of their dependence on Great Britain."

THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER,
At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beckman-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends at 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 importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and tell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the Sabbath having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS,
THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn, for it is made in great quantities and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the bag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn, which is spun so short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into sail-cloth in Holland. N. B. It should be enquired who are the promoters of this caution, be it known that we are a company of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our name here. At New-York, Nov. 8.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace , and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufacture of Cast Iron in the most complete and best manner.
Callings made in an Air Furnace , are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Pounderies , to be better than what is made in a Blas- Furnace ; because, in an Air Furnace , the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal , and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled; and none but the pure Metal remains. In a Blas Furnace , the Callings are made out of the first lining of the crude Ore , and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shutts: the diff- erence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween refined and Blooming Iron . — The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe . This consideration, alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign callings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace , consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons; tea kettles , pye-pans , skil- kets , griddles , porridge kettles and cookers , whaling- kettles , boilers for tallow-chandlers and legar-works , stoves for sugar-bakers , mill-cafes , cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries , rollers and shears for flax- ling-mills , chimney-backs , hearth and jamb-plates , cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops , Franklin stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboules of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and judgeons , law-mill cranks , calcining plates for making pearl ashes , cast iron scrows for tulling and paper-mills , fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, lash-weights , forge- hammers and anvils , plow-plates , half-hundreds , quarters , fourteen and seven pound weights ; cart , waggon , coach , phaeton , chair and turkey boxes , &c. &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE , near Mr. Arlee's Brewery , or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS , No. 48, Great Dock-Street , near the Exchange . Oct. 15. 6w
