There are two orchards of well chosen apples, and an abundance of choice, and rare fruit, of other kinds, a spacious and very convenient dwelling-house, large barn and mill-house. The mills are well situated on a lively and never failing stream, which runs about three quarters of a mile through the farm, affording several mill seats, not to be equalled in that part of the country. The land is otherwise beautifully watered by a variety of springs, and is capable of the most elegant and tasteful, as well as profitable improvements, at a very small expense. The situation is also particularly advantageous for trade, being at the intersection of two great roads. The most unquestionable title will be given. Enquire of the Printer.

B O S T O N, March 29. On Wednesday evening the Hon. House of Representatives concurred with a vote of the Hon. Senate, for making sale of the Western Lands, belonging to this Commonwealth, for three hundred thousand pounds in specie — 173 members present, 107 for concurring. — This, with the Army Notes which are nearly all paid in, and for the remainder of which, executions are now issuing, we hope will soon put our Public Debt on a respectable footing.
A correspondent observes, that it must give the highest satisfaction to every friend of the Commonwealth, to see measures adopted by government evidently calculated to expedite the sale of Public Lands — as thereby we shall not only have the pleasure of beholding the number of our industrious citizens daily increasing, but the public debt , (that source of national calamity) yearly lessening, and should the perfect prospect of disposing of the Western Territory succeed, a considerable part of the State debt will shortly be extinguished.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9.
A correspondent, who professes himself a friend of decency, truth and reason, is a good deal surprised at that part of the letter of Judge Bryan, which declares, that the dissent of the minority of the Pennsylvania Convention did not reach Boston till after their Convention rose — How the Judge came to hazard that assertion he knows not, but the truth is, that the Hon. Rufus King, Esq. tho' strongly in favor of the adoption of the proposed Federal Constitution, carried the reasons of dissent of the Pennsylvania minority to Boston, when he went to take his seat in the Massachusetts Convention, and, with a frankness and candor that does him and the cause honor, gave the same to a printer, and procured it to be published before the Convention took up the consideration of the Constitution. This is the truth. Before gentlemen attempt to brand their fellow-citizens with the odious epithet of Conspirators , before they assert that their opponents have secreted a particular piece of important information, they should really be better founded . Mr. Bryan, as a judge of our three superior courts, and as a legal guardian of religion and learning, in his capacity of a trustee of the University, should be a man of candor, and should take pains to remove the improper impressions which this assertion may have made on the minds of those, who have opposed the new government from principle. The case of Mr. Ellicot also requires explanation; for that gentleman declares that he had not arrived in Philadelphia on the 7th of March, when the letter is dated, which says, that he stated that the fate of the Constitution in Maryland would be unfavorable. This gentleman denies his ever having given such an opinion to Mr. Bryan, or any other person. He has always thought, that, even if certain characters opposed to the government should get into the Maryland Convention, they would not be able finally to prevent the adoption by that state. One reflection, says our correspondent, must be made by every wise and good Antifederalist in Pennsylvania on this occasion — which is, that the most sensible and learned counsellor they have in the state, either from his carelessness or bad designs, is not to be relied on.
NEW-YORK, April 12.
Yesterday arrived the ship Peggy , Walance , from London; Schooner Sincerity , White , from Baltimore; and the sloop Mary , Searing , from St. John's.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Maryland to his friend in Philadelphia.
"Not before last night, did I receive your letter of the 15th and 21st ult.
"I believe the people of Virginia have in general seen few publications respecting the proposed government, except Mason's, Lee's and Randolph's.
"The Antifederalists of this State, by their happy knack of perversion, charged the conduct of the post master to the new Constitution. Men of sense and reflection seem by no means apprized of the mischiefs done by those pestilent scribblers, whom they despise. Slender of government and public bodies attract attention, as well as the calumnies against individuals, and the multitude are too apt to deem unanswerable, that which is only unanswered .
"The supineness of the Federalists in New-Hampshire will occasion much trouble, although, upon the whole, I do not believe what has happened there will injure the cause. Whilst it gives spirits to demagogues, it rouses the friends to order and good government, and I trust, that in no other State will they be deceived by the apparent quiet submission of the former. In this State, particularly, it has been the policy of the Antifederalists to say little in public, to work secretly as long as they can,
and to burst forth all at once just before the election.
"However, I have no doubt that their artifices will avail little. Our Convention meets on the 21st of April, and, without any adjournment to a distant day, as assuredly will be proposed, the Constitution will be adopted by a majority of at least seven for one."
How strange are the vicissitudes of life! A gentleman from Sangate, in Vermont, informs us, that the famous General Shays (so called), from the command of an army, is now at that place reduced to the humble employment of making brooms for a livelihood.
MARRIED , on Thursday Evening last, EDWARD LIVINGSTON, Esq. to Miss MARY M'EVERS, eldest daughter of Charles M'Evers, Esq. of this City.

SENTENCE upon Lord GEORGE GORDON. Jan. 29. Yesterday Lord George Gordon was brought into Court to receive judgment of the law for the publication of the libels, of which he was convicted in Trinity Term last. After Mr. Justice Buller had stated from his note book the evidence on the trial, and the two libels were read by the proper officer,
Mr. Wood rose, and solicited the attention of the Court in behalf of Lord George Gordon. He began by observing upon the libel against the law, and the administration of justice. A little reflection upon the spirit and meaning of it, would, he said, be enough to shew, that after extracting the expressions of enthusiasm, it only amounted to a complaint against those penal laws, by which the punishment of death is annexed to crimes less than murder, which his Lordship was desirous to prove was contrary to the divine law. Unfortunately, however, for his client, he had not adopted the proper means to obtain a repeal of those sanguinary statutes. If instead of publishing a petition from the prisoners in Newgate, directed to himself, he had presented a petition to Parliament, praying for an alteration of the penal laws, his conduct would not only have been strictly justifiable, but perhaps laudable. The learned Counsel, therefore, contended that there was no criminality in the subject matter of this libel: it was only the manner in which the noble prisoner had made known his sentiments, that was indefensible, and for this he trusted the Court would not deem him an object of severe punishment. Mr. Wood then adverted to the libel against the Queen of France. He contended there was nothing in this libel that could be fairly construed into any reflections upon her Majesty of France. The principal charge in the information was, that his Lordship had said that the French Ambassador was the leader of the Queen's party. There was no imputation against the French Queen, in laying a particular description of persons, called a party, might adhere to her Majesty, and that a French Minister might happen to correspond with the sentiments of that party. After a variety of other very ingenious observations, Mr. Wood concluded by entreating the Court to bestow lenity to the prisoner.
Mr. Dallas followed Mr. Wood, and, in an excellent speech gave considerable force to the arguments of Mr. Wood. Mr. Dallas animadverted upon the several charges in the informations, and applied them to a fair and reasonable construction of the two libels in question, which he argued ought not to be considered as containing matter of much criminality, or likely to be of a dangerous tendency. Lord George Gordon, he said, was not singular in declaring his disapprobation of the sanguinary nature of our penal laws, or their contrariety to the law of God. He had been supported by the authority of men of the most enlightened minds, and benevolent hearts. Mr. Dallas then cited a number of illustrious characters, who have written against our system of penal laws as far as they respect the punishment of death for crimes inferior to murder, and particularly alluded to a passage in the Commentaries of the late Judge Blackstone, a book, he observed, the noble prisoner, who had been a Member of Parliament, had in all probability perused, and which together with the other respectable authorities he had quoted, might in a great measure have contributed to form his Lordship's opinion upon the subject, and lead him to a publication of his sentiments, in hopes that the Legislature might take the matter into their consideration. He added many other excellent observations, and implored the Court to mingle mercy (as he was persuaded they always would) with justice.
The Attorney General rose. He thought it necessary to explain a circumstance, to which Mr. Wood had alluded, which was, that a process had been issued against Lord George Gordon, returnable in Easter Term, and which had been copied in the public
papers. That the public might know that no motives of resentment or undue severity had actuated his conduct, it was proper that it should be understood, that the intention of issuing that process was to have proceeded to an outlawry, and not to prevent his Lordship from being brought into Court, which he might have been, if he had pleased, the first day of the present term. The Attorney General made a few other very candid observations upon the nature of the prosecution, and gave Lord George credit for the propriety of his behavior that day in submitting his case to Counsel, and peaceably awaiting the judgment of the Court.
Mr. Justice Ashhurst, after a suitable address to Lord George, pronounced the sentence of the Court, which is as follows, viz.
"That his Lordship should be confined for the term of three years, now next ensuing, in Newgate; and after the expiration of that term, for two years more; to pay a fine of 500l. and to find sureties for his good behavior, himself in 10,000l. and two sureties in 2,500l. each, for the further term of 14 years after the aforesaid five years are expired, and the fine of 500l. paid, or else to remain in Newgate until it is done."
His Lordship made a very grotesque figure; he was wrapped up in a great coat, his hair lank as usual, his beard about three inches long, extending under his chin and throat, from ear to ear, and differing from the color of his hair.
Jan. 30. On Sunday the 6th inst. a most violent gale, little short of West-Indian hurricane, was felt along the North-west coast of France, from Dieppe to Brest, a space of near fifty leagues. In the height of this tremendous storm, which was from four in the afternoon till eleven the same night, thunder shook the whole atmosphere, whilst broad and livid lightning illuminated land and sea for many miles. The towns of Dieppe, Cherburgh, Honfleur, and St. Valery, were in the utmost consternation. Many in despair run like mad people about the streets: the clergy, to quiet their minds, went in solemn procession to the churches, where public service continued till near one in the morning, when the storm of wind and thunder abated, and with a plentiful shower of large hail-stones ceased. The sea rose above forty feet perpendicular above the usual high-water mark, and ebb'd and flow'd so rapidly, and with such force and weight, as to demolish the mole, pier, and other works to the very foundation. In a word, so tremendous a phenomenon has not been remembered in France by the oldest person now living.
Extract of a Letter from Paris, Jan. 31.
"The bill for the Non-Catholics has at length passed the House of Parliament, and has been registered. His Majesty having been informed, that the edict was withdrawn for the purpose of reforming it, sent a message to the House, to desire them to lose no time, and to have it ready, with the necessary alterations, by the 30th, that being the day fixed for receiving it, registered, at Versailles. On Tuesday the whole was finished at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the King had the bill yesterday morning. It was immediately after conveyed to the respective printers of the King and Parliament, and, in all probability, it will be published to-morrow. This edict is very long, the preamble particularly."
"M. de Brienne is really dangerously ill; but in case of any accident, or unforeseen charge, the person who is to succeed him will never be M. Neckar. He may very likely have a share in the Administration, but no Protestant (notwithstanding the edict) will enjoy any place in the King's Council, or any important charge in the Magistracy."
"They say, the Duke of Orleans has given orders to sell all his hotels at Versailles, Fontainbleau, Compiegne, &c."
IRISH HOUSE OF LORDS.
Thursday, January, 17.
THIS day his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant went in state to the House of Lords, and being seated on the throne, with the usual solemnities, Scroope Bernard, Esq. Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, by his Excellency's command, required the attendance of the Commons forthwith, at the Bar of that House, and the Commons having attended accordingly, his Excellency was pleased to open the sessions, with the following speech from the throne:
My Lords and Gentlemen,
His Majesty having been pleased again to call me to the Government of Ireland, I have received his Royal commands to meet you in Parliament.
At the same time that I feel myself highly flattered by this repeated mark of his Majesty's confidence, I must lament with you, the heavy loss which his service has sustained by the death of the Duke of Rutland, whose public and private virtues had so deservedly conciliated the esteem and affections of this kingdom.
His Majesty is persuaded that you will share the satisfaction which he feels in the present situation of foreign affairs, and particularly in the restoration of the Con-
stitution and tranquillity of the United Provinces, favored by the seasonable and vigorous exertions which were made by his Majesty, and by the brilliant success of the Prussian troops, under the conduct of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick. The measures which his Majesty has adopted on this occasion have been productive of advantages, which, while they have added to the lustre of his Crown, have materially promoted the essential interests of his dominions.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I have ordered the national accounts, and the necessary estimates to be prepared and laid before you; and, with the fullest confidence in your zeal and loyalty, I obey his Majesty's commands, in recommending to you to provide for the public service.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
My former experience of the affectionate attachment which his Majesty's subjects of Ireland have borne to his person and government, and the very particular interest which I must feel in your welfare, will never fail to animate my endeavors in pursuit of every object which may promote his Majesty's paternal wishes for the happiness of this kingdom. With this view, I must more especially direct your attention to the support of that great staple of your commerce, the linen manufacture, to the protection and regulation of the Protestant Charter-schooles, to the security of the Church of Ireland, and to those principles, which your wisdom and humanity have already pointed out, for the advancement of education, and of useful knowledge.
I have seen, with particular satisfaction, your rising prosperity, and the rapid increase of your commerce and manufactures; and I shall be anxious to co-operate with you in improving the advantages which the credit of the country must derive from the blessings of peace; but while you are sensible of the value of these blessings, I am persuaded that you feel the warmest concern for the honor of his Majesty's Crown, and for the general interests of the empire; and that there is no part of his dominions, from which his Majesty would have received a warmer or more zealous support, if he had judged it necessary to call forth into action the spirit and resources of his people.
For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
Mr. CHILDS,
EVERY paper warrior, who brandishes his pen in party quarrels, is, by the courtesy of late days, styled a political writer , though very few have shown themselves acquainted with the first rudiments of polity.
Mr. Greenleaf's paper of yesterday, gives us the exhibition of one, who would wish to be thought a satirist; and such is the natural tendency of mankind to malice and detraction, that every scribbler endeavors to gain this character, by throwing filth and calumny all around him. But satire, in the hands of a fool, bears no more resemblance to the delicacy of that art, than the lightning of the play-house to the lightning of the skies: we see a faint flash, and we smell a disagreeable stench, and then it vanishes, without doing any execution. — This writer holds up to view, a nomination of persons to represent us in Senate and Assembly, and in doing it, he discovers both ignorance and malignity. Ignorance, because he is not even acquainted with the real names of the persons he has offered; and malignity, because a few persons, not belonging to his party, though men of merit, have been objects worthy the suffrages of a free people. For my own part, I could heartily wish, that all honest men would enter into an association, for the support of one another, against the endeavors of those, who they ought to look upon as common enemies, whatever side they may belong to. Were there such an honest body of neutral forces, we should never see the worst of men in the great figures of life, because they are useful to a party, nor the best unregarded, because they are above practising those methods, which would be grateful to their faction. We should then single every criminal out of the herd, and hunt him down, however formidable and overgrown he may appear; on the contrary, we should shelter distressed innocence and defend virtue, however beset with contempt or ridicule, envy or defamation. In short, we should not any longer regard our fellow citizens as whigs or tories, but make the man of merit our friend, and the villain our enemy.

THE FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK.
A Number of your Fellow Citizens deeply impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Government, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention.
JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW.
As Members of the Senate.
ISAAC ROOSEVELT, EZRA L'HOMME DIEU, PAUL MICHEAU.
As Members of the Assembly.
COMFORT SANDS, WILLIAM GILBERT, ALEXANDER M'COMB, NICHOLAS HOFFMAN, BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON, GULIAN VERPLANCK, NICHOLAS LOW, RICHARD HARRISON, JOHN WATTS, Jun.
In the nomination of persons, to be deputed to the Convention, no difficulty occurred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That which appears to be the greatest interest of every true American, - the consolidation of our Union, in which is involved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, "perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and county, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now submitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the purpose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our motto.
It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.
