S A L E M, June 17. ON Saturday last, Mr. Isaac Dodge and Mr. Oliver Dodge arrived at Wethersfield from the Mufkingum, which they left the 8th May. The party of men in service with the Ohio Company, under the superintendence of Gen. Putnam, arrived at the Mufkingum on the 8th of April, without any embarrassment, excepting the delays which the winter occasioned in preparing to go down the Ohio from Pittsburg. The natives who came in were very friendly, and wished to trade with their new visitors. Gen. Putnam had completed the surveys of the 4000 acres for a city, and one thousand eight acre lots. A large quantity of ground was sowed and planted, and the people were beginning to erect houses. The account they give of the country is exceedingly flattering. Provisions were cheap and plenty: Flour was purchased at 6s. per cwt. These men belonged to the party employed by the Company, but obtained leave to come home, for the purpose of making provisions for erecting mills. They came on foot, and were only 26 days from Mufkingum to Wethersfield.
The many idle reports which have lately been propagated respecting the settlements at the Mufkingum, induces a correspondent to observe, that he has been favored with a letter from Gen. Rufus Putnam, the Superintendent, dated Adelphi, May 17, 1788 —giving a particular account of his progress and operations in that country. The General arrived at the Mufkingum on the 8th April, and immediately began his surveys of the ground for a city, and one thousand eight acre lots; which he had completed. The Chiefs of several tribes had paid him a visit, and discovered a pacific disposition. The treaty which was to have been between Gov. Sinclair and the Indians in May is postponed until July, on account of a grand Council which the Chiefs were to hold at Sandusky, the first of June. He has the fullest assurance, if the instructions which the Governor has received from Congress will permit him to do them justice, there will be nothing to apprehend from the Indians in that quarter. The General assures his friend, that he is highly pleased with the country, and that the ground he has surveyed for a city is the most delightful spot he ever beheld. The ancient works on this ground far exceed any description that has been given of them, and strike the beholder with astonishment. His men have planted one hundred acres of the land laid out for a city; and advises the people, who intend to become settlers by all means to come on immediately.
NEW-YORK, June 25.
Extract of a letter from Petersburg, Virginia, June 12.
"A few days will determine the fate of the new constitution. We have no doubt but our state will adopt it in spite of all the declamation and reasoning of a Henry and a Mason. It meets with powerful support in the Governor, Madison and Innes." Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Stratford (Connecticut) to his friend in this city, dated June 22, 1788.
"On Wednesday evening last, we experienced one of the most violent thunder storms I ever knew. The lightning struck repeatedly in and about this place. Mr. Fairchild, an inhabitant of North Stratford, was struck dead as he was riding home from this town, in company with a Mr. Curtis; both of their horses were killed by the same flash. Mr. Curtis lay senseless for a considerable time; on recovering and finding his friend and horse dead, he made speed for the first house for assistance. What was singular, is a young colt, belonging to one of the horses, followed Mr. Curtis to his own house, and even into it, of its accord, and on his offering it milk next morning, drank it immediately, a thing it had never done before. Yesterday Mr. Fairchild was bro't down into the church, where Mr. Stebbens preached an affecting sermon, suitable to the occasion. A truly melancholy circumstance. Fairchild was a young gentleman who had received a liberal education at Yale College, and was studying divinity. He was in a few weeks to have been married to an amiable young lady in the neighborhood; consequently has one to mourn his untimely end."
On the 17th inst. after an absence of nine years, arrived in Boston, from England, his Excellency JOHN ADAMS, Esq. late Ambassador from the United States of America, to the Court of Great-Britain—with his lady. His Excellency the Governor having previously ordered, that every mark of respect be paid his Excellency on his arrival, the approach of the ship in which he arrived, was announced by a signal from the Light and a discharge of cannon from the Castle—when off the Castle he was saluted with a federal discharge of cannon from that fortress, and when the ship had arrived at her moorings, the Secretary of the State, by order of his Excellency the Governor repaired in his Excellency's carriage to the end of the pier, from whence, in the State barge, the Secretary waited on the Ambassador on board, and in his Excellency the Governor's name, congratulated him on his arrival, and invited him and family to his Excellency's seat. The wind being fresh and fair, the ship arrived at town too early to admit our fellow citizens receiving his Excellency in the manner they had previously intended—Notwithstanding, short as the time was, the Pier was crowded—and his Excellency welcomed on shore by three huzzas from the several thousand persons. The Secretary of the State accompanied his Excellency in the barge on shore, where his Excellency the Governor's carriage waited for him—in which he, his lady, the Secretary of the State, and others, rode to the Governor's house, receiving as he passed the compliments and congratulations of his fellow-citizens. The bells in the several churches rang during the remainder of the day—every countenance wore the expressions of joy—and every one testified that approbation of the eminent services his Excellency has rendered his country, in a manner becoming freemen, federalists, and men alive to the sensations of gratitude.
Mr. Adams resides at the house of his Excellency the Governor—where he on Tuesday received the congratulations of his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the Hon. Council, and the heads of the several departments of government, on his safe arrival in his native country.
Besides his Excellency Mr. Adams, and lady, the Rev. John Murray, John Stuart, Esq. Collector of Customs for the island of Bermuda, and Mr. William Boyd of Portsmouth, came passengers with Capt Callahan.
Extract of a Letter from Col. James Perry, in Nelson County, Kentucky, to the Rev. Jordan Hodge, of Sturbridge, in Massachusetts, dated April 20, 1788.
"On the first of April inst. a number of Indians surrounded the house of one John Merrill, which was discovered by the barking of a dog. Merrill stepped to the door to see what he could discover, and received three musket balls, which caused him to fall back into the house, with a broken leg and arm; the Indians rushed on to the door, but it being instantly fastened by his wife, who stood against it, with a girl of about 15 years of age, the savages could not immediately enter;
the Indians broke one part of the door, and one of them crowded partly through; the heroic mother, in the midst of her screaming children and groaning husband, seized an axe, and gave a fatal blow to the savage, and he falling headlong into the house, the others supposing they had obtained their end, rushed after him, until four of them fell in like manner before they discovered their mistake; the rest retreated, which gave opportunity again to secure the door. The conquerors rejoiced in their victory, hoping they had killed the whole company; but their expectations were soon dashed, by finding the door again attacked, which the bold mother endeavored once more to secure, with the assistance of the young woman; their fears now came on them like a flood; they soon heard a noise on the top of the house, and then found they were coming down the chimney; all hopes of deliverance were now at an end, but the wounded man ordered his little child to tumble a couch that was filled with hair and feathers on to the fire, which made such a smother that two lusty Indians came tumbling down the chimney; the wounded man, exerting every faculty in this critical moment, seized a billet of wood, with which he conquered the smothering Indians; at the same instant the woman aimed a blow at the savage at the door but not with the same effect as to the rest, but which caused him to retreat; they then again secured the door as fast as possible, and rejoiced at their deliverance, but not without fear of a third attack; they carefully watched with their new family until morning, and were not again disturbed.
"We learn by a prisoner that made his escape from the Indians that the wounded savage last mentioned, was the only one that escaped at this time; on his return he was asked, "what news brother?" "plague bad news," replied the wounded Indian, "for the squaws have taken the breech-clout and fight wore the long knives." This extraordinary affair happened at Newbadtown, about 15 miles from Sandy Creek, and may be depended on, as I had the pleasure to assist in tumbling them into a hole after they were stripped of their head dresses and about 20 dollars worth of silver furniture."
The ship Betsey, Wheaton, from Londonderry, is arrived at Newcastle, Delaware, after a passage of 38 days.
On Monday cleared out the ship Grog Van Gothland, Berg, for Lisbon; and sloop Polly, Bradley, for Newhaven.
The benevolent exertions making by all ranks of men in England for the abolition of the Slave Trade has, among other publications on the subject, brought forward a Poem of great merit, intitled, The Wrongs of Africa . The Monthly Reviewers speaking of this production, say,
"The generous indignation the author feels at the barbarous treatment they experience, after having fallen the victims of European avarice, demands the applause of every candid and philanthropic mind.—To such of our West Indian planters, whom the spark of humanity is not absolutely extinguished, we recommend the following lines. They carry conviction with them, and will we trust, be read by no feeling mind without a wish at least of alleviating the miseries of these unhappy fellow creatures. Expressive of higher obligations, there must result from acts of benevolence towards them an internal satisfaction, which their oppressor can never experience."
"Form'd with the same capacity of pain, The same desire of pleasure and of ease, Why feels not man? When nature thinks From the slight puncture of an insect's sting, Faints, if not scorch'd from sultry sun, and pines Beneath the harshness of an hour's delay Of needful nutriment; when liberty Is priz'd so dearly, that the slightest breath That ruffles but her mantle can awake To arms, unwavering nations and can raise Confederate states to vindicate her claims; How shall the sufferer man his fellow doom To ills he mourns, or spurns? at? Tear with stripes His quivering flesh; with hunger and with thirst Waste his emaciate frame? In careless toils Exhaust his vital powers; and bind his limbs In galling chains? Shall he whole fragile form Demands continual blessings to support Its complicated texture; air and food, Raiment, alternate rest, and kindly skies, And healthful seasons, dare with impious voice To ask those mercies, whilst his selfish aim Arrests the general freedom of their course? And gratified beyond his utmost wish, Debts another from the bounteous store?"
THE HESSIAN FLY.
Mr. Childs, OBSERVING a paragraph in your Daily Advertiser, addressed "For all the American newspapers," dated at Philadelphia, the 13th of June, and signed A LANDHOLDER —I am induced from the same motives with the writer, which I am sure were good, to inform him that his ideas respecting the Hessian Fly are ill founded. As they may mislead others, who have had no opportunity to know this destructive insect, I beg leave through your useful paper to refer him, and them, to the publications of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, on this subject, as they contain its true history. If the LANDHOLDER will read those publications, he will be convinced that his addresses may do much injury to many, who have not had the means of better information, however good his intentions may have been; and for this reason I recommend to all Printers, who have published his addresses, to give this as a caution against his recommendation. As a lover of my country, and a friend to the Farmers of the Middle States, I am further induced to declare, from experience, and a thorough investigation of the matter, that their absolute reliance (under Providence) must be on the yellow bearded Wheat, not the white, nor the red bearded Wheat, the fowling of which, by mistake, has occasioned much disappointment. That this declaration may have its full weight with all who know me, I give my name.
New-York, GEORGE MORGAN, of June 24th, 1788. Prospect, New-Jersey.
D I R E C T I O N S. SOW strong ground between the 10th and 20th of September, as far South as lat. 40, and proportionably later more Southward; and manure well with lime where it is convenient. As I have reason to believe this yellow bearded Wheat came originally from Chesapeake Bay or the State of Delaware, I have sent samples thereof to his Excellency General Washington, to John Dickenson, Esq. and to John Beal Bordley, Esq. to ascertain the matter, in hope of rendering an acceptable service to the States of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
Extracts from the Journal of Congress.
Friday, June 6, 1788.
Resolved, That the geographer of the United States be and he is hereby directed to ascertain, by himself or by a deputy duly appointed for the purpose, the boundary line between the United States and the States of New-York, and Massachusetts, agreeably to the deeds of cession of the said States.

That the said geographer or his deputy, having run the meridian between Lake Erie and the State of Pennsylvania and marked and noted down in his field-book proper land marks for perpetuating the same, shall proceed to make a survey of the land lying west of the said line between Lake Erie and the State of Pennsylvania, so as to ascertain the quantity thereof and make return of such survey to the Board of Treasury, who are hereby authorized and empowered at any time before or after such survey, to sell the said tract in whole or private sale for a price not less than three fourths of a dollar per acre in specie or public securities drawing interest.
By the United States in Congress Assembled, June 20, 1788.
THE Committee consisting of Mr. Williamson, Mr. Dane, Mr. Carrington, Mr. Kearney, and Mr. Wingate, to whom was referred the Memorial of George Morgan and his associates, respecting a tract of land in the Illinois country on the Mississippi having reported thereon, and their report being amended as follows: "That there are sundry French settlements on the river Mississippi within the tract which Mr. Morgan and his associates propose to purchase. Near the mouth of the river Kaskaskies, there is a village which appears to have contained near eighty families from the beginning of the late revolution. There are twelve families in a final village at la Prairie du Rochers, and near fifty families at the Kahokia village. There are also four or five families at fort Chartres and at St. Philips, which is five miles farther up the river. The heads of families in those villages appear each of them to have had a certain quantity of arable land allotted to them, and a proportionate quantity of meadow and of woodland or pasture."
Your Committee are of the opinion, that from any general sale which may be made of the land on the Mississippi, there should at least be a reserve of so much land as may satisfy all the just claims of the antient settlers on that river, and that they should be confirmed in the possession of such lands as they may have had at the beginning of the late revolution, which may have been annexed to them according to the laws or usages of the governments under which they have respectively settled. And whereas an additional quantity of land may be necessary for the support of those people whenever the settlement shall increase, and the Indian trade, by which they have chiefly subsisted, shall become less profitable, your Committee are of the opinion, that such allowance should also be made them within the reserved limits.
Your Committee observe that in the contract which is already made for the sale of a tract of land in the western country, the purchasers are to be charged with surveying three lots which are reserved for the benefit of the United States. They conceive that future contractors may be relieved from this expense; but they would propose that every agreement hereafter to be made shall be equally binding on the contracting parties, whereupon they submit the following resolves:
That the Board of Treasury be authorised to contract with any person or persons for a grant of a tract of land which shall be bounded as follows:—Beginning on the river at a vale in the parallel of latitude of the mouth of Little Wabash river, thence running due north to the parallel of latitude which passes through the mouth of Wood river, thence west to the Mississippi at the mouth of Wood river, thence down the river Mississippi to the mouth of the river at a vale, thence up the said river to the place of beginning, under the exceptions and reservations herein after mentioned.
That the purchaser or purchasers shall oblige themselves to lay off the tract at their own expence into townships or fractional parts of townships, and to divide the same into lots according to the land ordinance of the 20th of May, 1785, complete returns of which are to be made to the Board of Treasury. The lot No. 16, in each township, or fractional part of a township to be given perpetually for the purposes contained in the said ordinance; and the lot No. 29, in each township, or fractional part of a township, to be given perpetually for the purposes of religion, and that each of the several townships shall be thus laid off before the original purchaser or purchasers shall have disposed of the same, or made any settlement therein. The price to be not less than two thirds of a dollar per acre for the contents of the said tract, except the reservations and gifts herein mentioned payable in specie, loan-office certificates, reduced to specie value, or certificates of liquidated debts of the United States, the principal only of the said certificates to be received in payment; and the Board of Treasury for such interest as may be due on the certificates rendered in payment as aforesaid prior to the first day of January, 1789, shall issue indents for interest to the possessors, which shall be receivable in payment as other indents for interest of the existing requisitions of Congress. And for such interest as may be due on the said certificates between that period and the time of payment, the said Board shall issue indents, the payment of which to be provided for hereafter.
That part of the purchase money, not less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, shall be paid down upon closing of the contract, and the remainder of the purchase money whenever the Indian claim shall have been extinguished, and the boundary line of the tract run by the geographer of the United States, or his assistant, the contents of the land which is to be sold ascertained, and a plot of the same returned to the office of the Treasury Board, on which payment a grant shall be made, and the purchaser or purchasers shall have the right of entry and occupancy.
That separate tracts shall be reserved for satisfying the claims of the antient settlers which shall be included within the following boundary, viz. A straight line to be extended from the mouth of the Little river Marie below the river Kaskaskies to the old French fort on the east side of the said river Kaskaskies, and opposite the Kaskaskies village, thence north three miles, thence west across the Kaskaskies river to the ridge of rocks and high land that extends from the Kaskaskies to the Illinois river, then along the west side or foot of the said ridge of rocks and high land to the parallel that runs two miles north of the church at Kahokia, thence west to the river Mississippi, thence down the said river to the mouth of the river Marie.
That measures be immediately taken for confirming in their possessions and titles, the French and Canadian inhabitants, and other settlers on those lands, who on or before the year 1783 had professed themselves citizens of the United States, or any of them, and for laying off the several tracts which they rightfully claim within the described limits, and for laying off for the benefit of said inhabitants three additional tracts adjoining the several villages, Kaskaskies, la Prairie du Rochers, and Kahokia, in the form of a parallelogram, extending from the river Mississippi eastward to the ridge of rocks before described, and of such extent as shall contain four hundred acres for each of the families now living at either of the villages of Kaskaskies, la Prairie du Rochers, Kahokia, fort Chartres or St. Philips. The additional reserved tract adjoining the village of Kaskaskies shall be for the heads of families in that village, the tract adjoining la Prairie du Rochers for the heads of families in that village, and the tract adjoining Kahokia for the heads of families in that village, as also for those at fort Chartres and St. Philips. Such additional donations of four hundred acres each, to be distributed by lot, and immediate possession given: Provided nevertheless, that no person thus obtaining possession of such donation lands shall have power to alienate the same, until he or she, or his or her heirs shall have resided at least three years from the time of such distribution within that district; at the end of which period every such resident shall obtain a title to the reserved lot; and all lots not thus conveyed to residents, shall revert to the United States.
That whenever the French and Canadian inhabitants, or other settlers aforesaid, shall have been confirmed in their possessions and titles, and the amount of the same ascertained, and the three additional parallelograms for future donations, and a tract of land one mile square on the Mississippi, extending as far above as below fort Chartres, and including the said fort, the building and improvements adjoining the same, shall be laid off; the whole remainder of the soil within the reserved limits above described, shall be considered as appertaining to the general purchase, and shall be conveyed accordingly.
That measures be immediately taken to extinguish the Indian claim, if any such claim exists to the land bordering on the Mississippi from the mouth of the Ohio to a determined station on the Mississippi, that shall be sixty or eighty miles north from the mouth of the Illinois river, and extending from the Mississippi as far eastward as may be.
That the Governor of the western territory be instructed to repair to the French settlements on the Mississippi, and at above the Kaskaskies:—That he examine the titles and possessions of the settlers as above described, in order to determine what quantity of land they may severally claim, which shall be laid off for them at their own expence, and that he take an account of the several heads of families living within the reserved limits, in order that he may determine the quantity of land that is to be laid off in the several parallelograms, which shall be laid off accordingly by the Geographer of the United States, or his assistant, at the expence of the United States.
That the Geographer of the United States be instructed to take the latitude of the mouth of the river at a vale, and the mouth of Wood river, and of the north-east and south-east angle of the tract, and that in executing all other large surveys, he take the latitude of three or four of the chief corners.
Resolved, That Congress agree to the said Report.
CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'y.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in- tends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satis- faction to those who may please to employ him, (sig- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is des- igned to join an eminent ability to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment 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, with a resi- dence, 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, and if 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 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 aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
