N E W - Y O R K.
At the particular request of an AMERICAN NAVY OFFICER in the late war, the following narrative is published—the conclusion of which will show the intention of its publication.
[Concluded from our last.]
ON my arrival at Philadelphia, I took the Lieutenant of the Hyder Ally ; on board which ship we engaged, and took the General Monk; the engagement lasted 27 minutes, with the muzzles of our guns rubbing together. The Monk had eighteen nine pounders, and 132 men; the Hyder Ally had twelve six pounders and four nine pounders, with 120 men, picked, by chance, out of the streets, not a week before; our loss was three killed, and eleven wounded; that of the enemy (though almost incredible) was 21 killed, among which were the Master, Boatswain, Lieutenant and Gunner, and 32 wounded; among the latter was Captain Rogers. A short time after this engagement, I accepted the Lieutenant of the General Washington, (formerly the Monk) and proceeded for the Havana, with Captain Barney, for half a million of dollars: On our passage, we fell in with a Liverpool privateer, of equal force, with whom we had a severe brush for about three glasses; she kept up a running fight, but our ship being the best sailer, had greatly the advantage, until she shot away our fore top gallant mast, splintered almost half the main mast, and shot our mizen mast through under the boom, as her fire was mostly at our spars & rigging: She killed of us only one man, and wounded four; night coming on, and not being able to make sail, she got from us. Our damages obliged us to put into Cape Francois for main and mizen masts, &c. After we had made our repairs, we failed for the Havana, and on our arrival there, found that an embargo was laid on all American vessels, in consequence of advice from Spain, that America was making a separate peace: The Governor concluded the embargo should be taken off, provided two of the American vessels, mounting 16 guns each, were fitted out to cruise the coast of Cuba, which was complied with, and myself ordered to the command of the Schuykill , of 16 six pounders and 100 men, mostly Spaniards. After cruising about a month without success, fell in with the British fleet of 27 sail of the line, & in the night, was taken and brought into New-York, and paroled on Long-Island: having certificates with me, of some prisoners, I had put on board a flag from Jamaica, I procured my exchange. On my way to Philadelphia, was offered the command of Hyder's boats at Brunswick, which I accepted. In these boats. I captured a British gun boat, with 22 grenadiers and sailors; and retook a brig, that was on ground near the narrows; for which the gun boat was the guard; together with a Schooner with part of the brig's cargo on board. Shortly after, the peace taking place, put an end to my services.
O B S E R V A T I O N S.
The intention of publishing the foregoing narrative is, to convey an idea of the sufferings of those, who engaged in the naval department during the late war; and, I would be understood as considering myself one of the least of those sufferers.
This narrative may likewise serve to show some peculiar disadvantages the Navy Officers laboured under; which, it is conceived, entitles them to a participation of the emoluments granted to their brethren in the land service; such as, the allotments of land, and commutation money, as it is commonly termed. The exclusion of the Navy Officers from these privileges, is certainly unfair.—It has been acknowledged by gentlemen of candor and abilities, that, although the officers of the navy were not so numerous as those of the army, still their spirited conduct throughout the war was apparent; their services were essentially useful; their exposition to dangers was great; and their sacrifices and sufferings were equal to any other class of citizens. If this be true, why are they not to reap equal emoluments with their brethren in the land service?—Even to procure a settlement of accounts for their known services , they are obliged to lend for certificates to the most distant parts of the Continent.
Another difficulty at present peculiar to some of these officers, is this:—The Whig merchants who were engaged in the shipping line previous to the late war, being mostly now unable to serve them, they are necessarily obliged to follow occupations with which they are unacquainted, or remain idle: The greater part of the persons at present engaged in the shipping way, being men of opposite principles , employ such as have acted, and now think , similar to themselves.
At the conclusion of the war, finding myself destitute of employ, I was under the necessity of accepting the disagreeable business of transporting free negroes from this place to their respective homes: In the prosecution of which, I incurred the appellation of kidnapper. However, I can easily exculpate myself from this charge, as my transactions were authorised by some of the Magistracy ; whose warrants I can, at any time, produce.
The tried and sincere friends of my country, will, I trust, approve of my intentions in this publication.—As for the opinions of the opposite class , they ever were, and still are to me, a matter of mere indifference.
LUKE MATTHEWMAN, An American Navy Officer in the late war.
EXTRACTS from the minutes of the Society for the relief of distressed debtors.
THE committee for the month of June reported, that twelve persons confined in the gaol in this city had been supplied with provisions for the month—that five had been supplied in the same manner for three weeks—five had been supplied for two weeks, and five more for one week.
The whole number, supported by the society at different times in the course of the month being twenty-seven, of whom eleven were discharged.—In the supplies for the month were expended 326 lb. beef, 326 lb. bread, and 76 pints of lamp. The committee for the month of July reported, that there had been, in the course of the month, on the list of pensioners, at different times thirty-nine
persons, who had been supplied with provisions by the society, and that thirteen had been discharged in the month.
In the supplies for the month there had been expended 152 lb. of pork, 152 lb. of bread, and 12 pints of lamp.
Donations to the society are received by the Rev. Dr. Rogers, the Rev. Mr. Beach, the Rev. Mr. Linn, and Mr. Lawrence Embree.
As the law in this State makes no provision for the support of prisoners, confined in gaol for debt, and as many are confined who have no means of obtaining subsistence while in a state of confinement; a number of gentlemen in the city have formed themselves into a society for the purpose of attending to persons of this description, and for administering such relief, as should be in their power to give. The society have hitherto been enabled, by the liberality of charitable disposed persons, given in from time to time, to the gentlemen appointed to receive donations, to support a considerable number, who must have suffered greatly for want of food, fuel and cloathing, if they had not been supplied in this manner. The society still confide in the generosity of their fellow citizens, and from the experience they have already had of it, flatter themselves that they shall be enabled to prosecute with advantage to the community, & benefits to distressed prisoners, the great object for which it was instituted. As the article of wood is now cheap they wish to be enabled to purchase it, when it will cost much less than it probably will do in the approaching winter.
By order of the society, JAMES COGSWELL, Sec'y. New-York, Aug. 9, 1787.
B O S T O N, August 21.
By a gentleman from the southward are we informed, that Congress have permitted the Ohio company, lately associated in this and some of the neighbouring States, to make a contract for nearly 5,000,000 acres of land in the federal territory, situated, in its greatest extent, on the Ohio, & bounded on the east & west by the Muskingum and Scioto rivers.—That the officers and soldiers, who are of this association may be indulged with their bounty-lands within the purchase, provided they do not exceed one seventh part of the whole.—That the donations of 46,080 acres for a general and public seminary of learning, 6040 for religious purposes, in every township of six miles square, and an equal quantity for a public school, are made by the Honorable Congress to the proprietors of the soil, and their associates forever.
We do not learn that the officers of government for this western territory are yet appointed; but it is reported, that his Excellency General Arthur Sinclair, President of Congress, is in nomination for Governor.
“The conduct of Lord Dorchester, in regard to the insurgents of America,” says a late Jamaica paper, should be well guarded, as it is a great measure depends on his procedure, whether the temper of America shall be enflamed or coalesced.
Last evening the Honorable Charles de la Forest, Vice Consul General of France for the United States, with his lady, arrived in town from Newport.
New-York, August 28.
Tuesday next, the fourth of September, is the day appointed for the parade and review of the whole of the uniformed corps of Militia in this city. A plan of military operations for this occasion, has been formed by the principal officers; whose spirited exertions and attention merit applause. And, it is with pleasure, we inform the public, that the utmost harmony and cordiality subsist between the respective corps, chiefly owing to the exertions and good sense of their officers in general. This circumstance forms a happy preface of their future usefulness, and improvement in the profession of arms.
A correspondent observes, that the Honorable Council of Appointment were highly judicious in the appointment of gentlemen to the principal commands in the Militia, who have served in the late American army; and, it is a pleasing occurrence, that they have, in general, accepted of their respective appointments. Who are better calculated to train up young officers and soldiers, than those who have been in actual service, and have been actors on the late important theatre of war?—A war accompanied with many perilous vicissitudes; which called into exertion every effort of military skill, and all that magnanimity and bravery which patriotism could inspire.—The regularity and order introduced into the American army, by that accomplished veteran the Baron de Steuben, most clearly indicates, that “discipline and bravery are superior to numbers;” which, the successes of the latter campaigns of the late war clearly demonstrates. To whom, then, can we look for qualified preceptors, but to the men who have served in these interesting scenes? The good policy of our Council in giving appointments to the ‘old officers,’ has, we are credibly informed, been approved of by that good and illustrious personage, our late Commander in Chief.
Several causes of long standing have very generally marked the American character with an over-driven sense of liberty. Parents are very indulgent to their children—very few families have private tutors—some country places have no public schools, many only at times, and often kept by indifferent masters. The facility of subsisting by very moderate industry makes every person independent. Superiority of birth, fortune and office, has hitherto been very trifling. Ecclesiastical authority has been little or nothing in most of the States, and in New-England has been for some time on the decline. The negro slavery has no doubt often created habits of pride, dominion and severity. Taxes and other burdens of civil government have, till the revolution, been extremely easy. This high sense of liberty has, indeed, even in ruder minds, produced a fierce independent spirit, without which the revolution could not have been effected; but it has also, in too many, created a licentiousness, at present very detrimental, and incompatible with good government.
It is with pleasure we learn that Mr. MEIGS, formerly one of the professors in Yale-college, now a brother Typographer and sole editor of the Connecticut Magazine , is appointed by the Senatus Academicus to read lectures on philosophy in that university.
On the 21st instant were received at the War-Office, the two brass Field Pieces designed to be presented to the heirs of the late Major-General Greene, in consequence of the resolution passed in Congress, October 18, 1783:
“On the report of a Committee, “RESOLVED, That two pieces of the field ordnance, taken from the British army, at the Cowpens, Augusta, or Eutaw, be presented by the Commander in Chief of the armies of the United States, to Major-General GREENE, as a public testimonial of the wisdom, fortitude, and military skill, which distinguished his command in the Southern Department; and of the eminent services which, amidst complicated difficulties and dangers, and against an enemy greatly superior in number, he has successfully performed for his country: And that a memorandum be engraved on the said pieces of ordnance, expressive of the substance of this resolution.”
Major Billings, of Poughkeepsie, executed in a masterly style, the following inscription, decorated with the arms of the United States, and Military Trophies, encircled with a wreath of Laurel.
C A R E From the British Army, And presented by order of The United States in Congress assembled, To Major-General GREENE, As a MONUMENT OF Their High Sense of The Wisdom, Fortitude, and Military Talents, Which distinguished his Command In the Southern Department, AND OF The EMINENT SERVICES, WHICH, Amidst complicated Dangers and Difficulties, He performed for His Country. October 18th, 1783.
The long and peaceable sessions of the present august Convention, and the general determination among all classes of people to receive the government they are now framing, (says a correspondent) indicate degrees of order and good sense in the Americans, that have seldom appeared in other countries. Tyrants and official pensioners are the only men who oppose the re-formation of governments. In proportion as knowledge and virtue prevail in our country, it will become as common for men to change and improve their governments, civil and ecclesiastical, as it is for men to alter and improve their houses, when the encroachments of their families, or a change in their circumstances, make it necessary.
The punctuality with which the members of the Convention assemble every day at a certain hour, and the long time they spend in the deliberations of each day (sometimes seven hours) are proofs, among other things, how much they are entitled to the universal confidence of the people of America. Such a body of enlightened and honest men perhaps never before met for political purposes, in any country upon the face of the earth.
How great (adds our correspondent) must be the satisfaction of our late worthy Commander in Chief, to be called upon a second time by the suffrages of three millions of people, to save his sinking country?—In 1775, we beheld him at the head of the armies of America, arresting the progress of British tyranny.—In the year 1787, we behold him at the head of a chosen band of patriots and heroes, arresting the progress of American anarchy, and taking the lead in laying a deep foundation for preserving that liberty by a good government, which he had acquired for his country by his sword.—Illustrious and highly favoured instrument of the blessings of Heaven to America—live—live for ever!
A cause was argued in the Common Pleas in Philadelphia, on Saturday the 18th inst. of a very interesting and important nature. It was the cause of Stoddard again Penhollow. It seems that in the year 1777, a vessel belonging to a citizen of Connecticut, bound from England to Nova-Scotia, was taken by a citizen of New-Hampshire, and condemned in the inferior court of Admiralty as a legal prize. Upon an appeal to the superior court of Admiralty for that State, the decree below was affirmed, but the cause being removed into the court of errors and appeals for the United States, the proceedings were reversed and a decree given in favor of the appellant. After this an action was instituted in a common law court in Massachusetts to recover damages from the captors, but that court would not allow the decree of the court of errors and appeals of the United States to be read in evidence, and the plaintiff was therefore obliged to discontinue his action. The question is revived here upon an attachment which has been laid on the property of the captors in this State, the defendant moving to quash the attachment upon these leading objections; 1st that Congress had no power at the time when the vessel was taken, to institute a court of errors and appeals, and therefore that the reversal of the decree of the courts of Admiralty for the States of New-Hampshire could not operate. 2dly, That the proceedings in Massachusetts, upon the common law suit under the common articles of confederation, were binding upon our courts; and 3dly, That as the matter was originally of Admiralty jurisdiction, none of the consequences are cognizable by a common law court. The questions were discussed with great ability by the counsel on both sides, and the court has taken time to consider of the judgement.
The King of Prussia has caused a public notice to be printed in the Berlin Gazette, of the 31st of March, to contradict the various reports respecting his intention to make one of his sons coadjutor of Mavence; and declares he will never interfere in the ecclesiastical States, or suffer any of his family to change the religion they are brought up in, for any consideration whatever.
The King of France ordered it to be signified to all the clergy, that in 1788, those who possess two benefices must resign one, by which time they may determine their choice.
Proportion punishments to crimes, says a correspondent, hath been the favorite maxim from the days of Beccaria to this period of anarchy, while the more essential principles of energetic government are too often superceded by ill-judged favors, mistaken lenity, or groundless fear. The accused
should have the most full and impartial trial, and the sentence of law on the condemned should be executed in the most speedy and decisive manner; government will then be respectable, and society will be secured from disorders.
Extract of a letter from his Excellency Governor Jefferson, Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, a gentleman of the first eminence for literature, to the Reverend President Stiles, at New-Haven, dated Paris, September 1, 1786.
“I return you my thanks for the communications relative to the Western Country. When we reflect how long we have inhabited those parts of America which lie between the Alleghany and the ocean, that no monument has ever been found in them, which indicated the use of iron among its aboriginal inhabitants, that they were as far advanced in arts, at least, as the inhabitants on the other side the Alleghany; a good degree of infidelity may be excused as to the new discoveries which suppose regular fortifications of brick work to have been in use among the Indians on the waters of the Ohio. Intrenchments of earth they might indeed make, but brick is more difficult. The art of making it may have proceeded the use of iron, but it would suppose a greater degree of industry than men in the hunter state usually possess. I should like to know whether General Parsons himself saw actual bricks among the remains of the fortification. I suppose the settlement of our continent is of the most remote antiquity; the similitude between its inhabitants and those of the eastern parts of Asia, renders it probable that ours are descended from them, or they from ours. The latter is my opinion, founded on this single fact. Among the red inhabitants of Asia there are but a few languages radically different, but among our Indians the number of languages is infinite, which are so radically different as to exhibit at present no appearance of their having been derived from a common source. The time necessary for the generation of so many languages must be immense. A countryman of yours, a Mr. Lediard, who was with Captain Cook on his last voyage, proposes either to go to Kamchatka, cross from thence to the western side of America, and penetrate through the continent to our side of it, or to go to Kentucky, and thence penetrate westwardly to London, where if he found a passage to Kamchatka, or the western coast of America he would avail himself of it; otherwise he proposed to return to our side of America to attempt that route. I think him well calculated for such an enterprise, and with he may undertake it. Another countryman of yours, Mr. Trumbull, has paid us a visit here, and brought with him two pictures, which are the admiration of connoisseurs. His natural talents for this art seem almost unparalleled. For this twelve-month past little new and excellent has appeared either in literature or the arts. An Abbe Rochon has applied the metal called platina to the telescope, instead of the mixed metal of which the specula were formerly composed, it is insusceptible of rust as gold is, and he thinks its reflective power equal to that of the mixed metal. He has observed a very curious effect of the natural chrysalis, and especially of those of Iceland, which is, that lenses made of them have two distinct focusses, and present you the object distinctly at two different distances; this I have seen myself. A new method of copying has been invented here: I called on the inventor and he presented me with a plate of copper, a pen and ink. I wrote a note on the plate, and in about three quarters of an hour he brought me an hundred copies, as perfect as the imagination can conceive. Had I written my name, he could have put it to so many bonds, so that I should have acknowledged the signature to have been my own. The copying of paintings in England is very inconceivable, any number may be taken, which shall give you the true lineaments and colouring of the original, without injuring that. This is so like creation, that had I not seen it, I should have doubted it. The death of the King of Prussia, which happened on the 17th inst. will probably employ the pens, if not the swords of politicians. We had exchanged the ratifications of our treaty with him: The articles of this, which were intended to prevent or mitigate wars, by lessening their aliment, are so much applauded in Europe, that I think the example will be followed.
“I have the honor to be, with very sincere esteem, dear Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant, THOMAS JEFFERSON.
Extract of a letter from Cbemung, dated July 16 1787, to a gentleman in Baltimore.
“Cornelius Sturgeon, the great Onandago Chief, was murdered last month at the Tyoga Point, by one of his own tribe and a townsman. It appears to have been a premeditated piece of work, and had its rise from two causes: First, he was an absolute despot in his tribe, and imposed an implicit compliance with his orders—he was punctually obeyed through fear not love. Secondly, he began to adopt the dress and customs of the United States, and introduce them into his family—this gave great umbrage. As he was a man of some literature, he had some idea of the great value of letters, and the evening on which he was killed, in conversation with Capt. Spalding, he informed him that he intended to send his son to some of the American colleges for education. The friends of the murderer purchased his life for a sum of money, not exceeding 3751.—A poor recompence for the life of a great man, and too much for that of a tyrant!”
“Poughkeepsie Aug. 22. Yesterday Capt. Sleight's company of Light Infantry, of Col. Van Bunschoten's regiment, paraded at this place—They performed the several manœuvres with such dexterity as gave satisfaction to the spectators, and did honor to both officers and men, being only the second time of parading since the new arrangement of the militia.”
“This day Capt. Livingston's company of Light Infantry is to parade, for the purpose of exercising, &c.”
From Gloucester, R. Island, we learn, that on Wednesday the 15th inst. about 5 o'clock, P. M. the north part of that town was much injured by a tornado or hurricane, more extraordinary and terrible in its effects than any thing of the kind ever known here. It began in Thompson Parish, Killingsly, and its course was about E. b. N. In its progress it tore up whole orchards by the roots; one large new barn, full of hay, was laid level with the ground; one old house and barn torn to pieces, the family escaped by taking to the cellar; a corn crib was taken up, and carried about 4 rods. The roofs of several other houses were taken off, or much damaged; one woman was carried some distance, but not

much hurt. Its width was from 40 to 100 rods. The timber in the woods was prostrated in almost every direction, and whole groves were swept down. The fences for miles were laid level with the ground. About 8 feet of the top of a chimney, lately built to a new house, was moved about two inches, vast numbers of stacks of hay were torn to pieces, and fields of corn and flax in the shock blown away. In fine nothing in its way escaped its violence. We are happy to learn that no lives are lost so far as we have yet heard. Its violence in a great measure ceased in Mendon, about 20 miles distant from where it began.
Yesterday were executed in the Fields, pursuant to their sentence at the Court of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery, lately held in this city, James Wilson, and William Stewart, each respectively convicted of robbery on the high way. At the place of execution, these unhappy men were attended by two Divines, who prayed, sung psalms, and exhorted them. They confessed their guilt, appeared penitent, and deeply affected with their awful situation.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in South-Carolina, July 28, to his friend in New-Jersey.
The State of South-Carolina lies between the 32d and 35th degrees of north latitude—Charleston the capital of the State, lies in the same latitude with Jerusalem, a climate that produced so quick vegetation, that made it a land of plenty, a land that flowed with milk and honey.
It was in this blessed climate God Almighty placed his chosen people, between the torrid and frigid zones, that they might not be burnt up by the constant heat of the former; nor pinched by the excessive colds of the latter. I believe he chose that climate for them, because there was not one more agreeable on the face of the earth. The lower part of Carolina, for 60 or 70 miles from the sea is extremely level. The up-land is sandy, and is covered with large pine, oak, and hickory timber; when cultivated it produces good Indian corn, indigo, rye, oats, peas, potatoes, fine vegetables of every kind, and plenty of grass for cattle; it is intersected with a number of large rivers, creeks, and small rivulets, and abounds with large swamps, that reward the labour of the planters, with fine crops of rice. The immense profit the planters make by raising this last article, prevents their ditching and draining the land, or it would bring fine hemp, flax, oats, &c. This part of the country, a little distance from the sea, is very unhealthy, owing to the stagnated water in the swamps, and the large reservoirs of water kept up with dams by the planters, to water their rice, in the proper season.
The middle country 30, 40 or 50 miles farther back in different parts is like the lower; but in many places, particularly on Savannah-river, there are extensive tracts of good wheat land, with rich swamps, bordering on pine lands, which will be a fine range for cattle, and almost an inexhaustible source of timber for the inhabitants, as the timber will grow as fast as it is possible for them to cut it; several fine mills have been erected near the Three Runs, where the lumber is taken by water from the mills to Savannah, and shipped to the West-Indies. This part of the country enjoys the advantage of a good soil, a healthy climate, and a fine range for cattle.
Farther from the ocean the lands are much higher, and the soil equal to any in the world—it produces fine crops of wheat, cotton, hemp, tobacco, &c. &c. and in much greater quantities than any lands in the northern States. I have been credibly informed that 70 or 80 bushels of corn have been raised on an acre, and that 50 bushels in some places is a middling crop. Uninterrupted health reigns in this part of the State, as much as any part of the inhabited world—here temperance and exercise, will almost ensure long life; and every necessary convenience and luxury the heart of man can wish to enjoy.
One great advantage this country has of the northern States, is, that the men are not obliged to work for the beasts, the winter being so mild that the cattle are fat in the woods all the year; this prevents a great deal of hard labour, that must be done in the hottest season, in the northern States. Where there is a large range a man may increase his stock to what number he pleases; some men have marked fifteen hundred head of calves in a year. The climate is not hotter in the months of June, July and August, than in the lower part of New-Jersey, nor is it hotter in the upper part than it is in the high eastern part of that State. The spring and fall, is exceedingly agreeable, and in the coldest season of the year, our gardens furnish us with fresh vegetables. Every kind of fruit that Britain, or the northern States produce, may be raised in South-Carolina; also good oranges, limes, lemons, figs and grapes. Wine has been made equal to any in the world for strength and flavor, and will, in time, be an article of exportation. The land produces good cotton, some of which has been exported to the northern States. Great quantities of raw silk has been exported to London, made by a Swiss settlement, at Purisburg, which brought a high price, and yielded a handsome profit to the cultivators. There have already been discovered in many places large bodies of exceeding good iron ore, of which excellent bar-iron, castings, &c. and in many places, lead, tin and copper ore is found; but not yet worked to much advantage; silver and gold, is to be found in great plenty, by tillling the earth, manufactories, trade, &c.
Three acts of the Legislature have lately been passed to clear out Santee, Calaba, Athley, Cooper and Edisto-rivers, that will open an inn-land navigation to the extremities of the State, and a number of hands are now employed in that work; this will be of immense service to the planters, and in a few years will double the exports of this place. The exports from Charleston since the peace, have amounted to half a million sterling one year with another, and by the appearance of the present crop, will amount to near twice that sum this year.
We have great plenty of European, East and West-India goods, and some good mechanics. Much more might be said, with the strictest truth, in commendation of this State; but to those that are chilled with the north-west winds, and deprived from seeing the face of the earth, by the ice and snow, for six months in the year, and obliged to work hard in the hot broiling sun in the summer, to provide for the winter, may think I have already said too much.
But it is now time to turn the picture, and give you an account of the inconveniencies of this country—We have wolves, bears, panthers, wildcats, rattlesnakes, and men, that are worse than all the rest, are as plenty here as in any of the northern States: These venomous reptiles and bloody
beasts of prey, seldom attack a man when they come in his way. But we have something that destroys more of the human species than all I have mentioned—it will attack you at your work, and on your pillow, in your most jovial hours, and in your hours of devotion; this monster is well known in all the United States, by the name of LAZINESS.
Most of the inhabitants of the northern States, that came to South-Carolina, find the climate extremely agreeable the first six or eight years, in which time, by their industry, they acquire larger fortunes than they ever expected to be possessed of, and begin to live in ease and affluence—they then discover that it is too hot for a white man to work, even in the winter: They first lay aside all useful labour, and divert themselves with fishing, hunting,* and riding on horseback, or in carriages, visit their neighbours, and drink plentifully of wine, punch, or strong grog, to keep out the heat. But in a while all kind of exercise becomes too fatiguing, and they live at their ease, and wallow in luxury; till death, out of pity to their families and acquaintance, removes the nuisance.
Thus, Sir, I have given you a faithful description of this country—if I have erred in any thing, it is owing to my being misinformed, and not for want of my making the best enquiry in my power, for the fifteen years I have resided in this State.
I am your humble servant,
J. BUDD.

You may with pleasure see the military spirit which animates all ranks of men—You may make many assertions of the kind—give praise to whom you like, and censure all you wish—Dread your fate, for if discovered, none will protect a Spy—detestable character!—A free country whose first principles are freedom, will treat you as you deserve.
Endeavour stupid being to animate your productions with the fancied images of flowery eloquence; you are not equal to the task.
Ask from free people why they disagree? and they will correct your impertinence—But dare to meddle with those who have dared to face the bold-est enemy which ever entered into their free shores, on a subject in which they have dared to act, when spies were only food for halters, and they will give an answer, your soul will tremble to stand by and hear.

POET'S CORNER.
ELEGY, on a Deceased Lady.
HAIL happy Bride! for thou art truly blest, Three months of pleasure crown'd with end- less rest, Merit like yours was Heaven's peculiar care; You lov'd yet tast'd happiness sincere! The sweets of love to you were only shewn, The sure, succeeding, bitter dregs unknown. You had not yet the fatal change deplored, The tender lover for the impetuous Lord; Nor felt the pangs that jealous fondness brings, Nor wept the coldness from possession springs, Above your sex, distinguish in your fate, You trusted, yet experienced no deceit, Swift were your hours, & wing'd with pleasure flew; No vain repentance gave a sigh to you; And, if superior bliss Heav'n can bestow, With fellow angels you enjoy it now.
