L O N D O N.
Nov. 29. It appears by the last accounts from Paris, that the King has not ventured to banish the whole Parliament again, but he has proceeded to measures which have the full tendency to excite commotions among the people. The two first Princes of the Blood (the Duke d'Orleans and the Duke de Bourbon) have been banished to their country seats, and three Counsellors of the first distinction have been sent to separate prisons. These violent and rigorous proceedings have not however had the desired effect. The Parliament, with a noble spirit, which reflects the highest honor on them, have refused to register the Edicts, and notwithstanding all the confidence and security of their despotic rulers, both Parliament and people seem to feel a degree of independence, which may end in the confusion of those who urge on his Majesty to so tyrannical a use of his prerogatives.
Dec. 4. A letter from Paris, dated Nov. 21, says, "Baron de Breteuil presented his Majesty's letter to the Duke of Orleans, on Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock. It contained these two orders:
"I have reason to be dissatisfied with your conduct; I order you to retire to Villers Cotteriez (one of the Duke of Orleans's seats, about 15 leagues from Paris) where you shall receive no company except that of your own family. I order you to depart immediately. You shall lie at Reiney (about four leagues from Paris) where, for this night, you shall see none of your family, nor any person belonging to your house."
"The Duke, who expected to receive this order from his Majesty, on account of his free speech in the House, had his post-chaise with four stout English horses at the door; and when the Baron told him that he was to accompany him, and made a motion as if he wanted to enter the chaise after his Highness—"No, says the Prince, I obey the King's orders, and you shall follow me, since you are desired to see me at the place of my destination for this night." The postillions drove like devils, and the four leagues were run a P. Angloise . The poor Baron had two of his horses killed in attempting to keep in sight of the Prince's chaise."
Capt. Lander's new invention for working the chain pumps on board his Majesty's ship Flora at Deptford, was tried on Saturday the 17th ult. and found capable of delivering thirty thousand gallons of water more than can be delivered by an equal number of men at the winches, the present mode of working, and a much greater quantity at sea in times of distress.
We hear from Paris, that advices have been received from America, giving an account, that General Washington has been chosen Dictator of America for four years.
We are informed, that Ministry have accomplished a Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive, between this country and the United Provinces, and which being finally agreed to on our part, is sent over to be signed in Holland.
The snow Anna Marian , Lewis, for Dublin; Schooner Sally , Marschalk, for St. Croix; sloop Catherine , McCoun, for Guadalupe; sloop Lucretia , Leycraft, for N. Carolina; and New-York and Pennsylvania Packet, Bird, for Charleston, cleared out at the Custom-house on Thursday.

IN COUNCIL OF REVISION, Feb. 7, 1788.
P R E S E N T.
His Excellency Governor Clinton, The Hon. Mr. Chancellor Livingston, The Hon. Mr. Justice Yates.
The Council object to the Bill entitled, "An act for apprehending and punishing disorderly persons," as inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution and the public good.
Because the offences mentioned in the act are so indefinitely described, and the powers given to a single Magistrate in some instances, and to the Justices in session in others, so extensive, without the intervention of a jury as to endanger the freedom of the citizens of this State, which consists in being governed by the laws alone, and not by the discretion of Magistrates.
The first offence is that of persons who shall threaten to run away, and leave their wives and children to the city or town. This offence consists only in words which may be uttered in jest, and exaggerated by malice, or which family dissensions may draw from an irritable man laboring under domestic misfortunes; and would be too severely punished by imprisonment, scourges, and hard labor in a house of correction.
Another set of offenders subject to similar punishments, are those who not having wherewith to maintain themselves, live idle, and without employment. The being idle and without employment is often involuntary, and owing rather to misfortune than vice; and were it otherwise, it would be more consistent with the spirit of Govern-
ment to leave it to the punishment which naturally attends idleness, and to leave it to the establishment of an arbitrary enquiry into the lives and conduct of free citizens; or to take from them, by the ignominy of their punishment, all hope of employment in future.
Similar objections lay to the including of all Jugglers . This being indefinite, may, by the ignorance of a single Justice of the peace, be extended to the punishment of persons, who endeavor to turn to their own profit, and the pleasure and advantage of society, the discoveries in Natural Philosophy, & the improvements in Mechanism, which the present enlightened age has given birth to. Nor is the clause less exceptionable, which includes all persons pretending to have skill in physiognomy, palmistry, or the like crafty Science. The pretending to knowledge of any kind, which the pretender does not possess, may be weakness and folly, but can never be a crime, unless the pretence is applied to evil purposes; but if the Bill should pass into a law, the pretence alone, without any act, may draw after it the heavy punishment of imprisonment, hard labor in a house of correction, stripes and servitude, at the discretion of the Justices. This is the more peculiarly severe, from the various constructions, which ignorance or prejudice may put upon those indefinite terms, "or the like crafty Science." There are few persons who have not suffered their judgment of men to be biased by their countenances. As it is still doubtful, how far a skill in physiognomy may be acquired by time and study; and as we have as yet experienced no inconvenience from its profession, it cannot be right to obstruct the improvement of which it may possibly be capable.
The following description of offences tends to great oppression: "all persons who run away, and leave their wives and children, whereby they respectively become chargeable to any city or town." This is exceptionable, &c. From the difficulty of determining the motive with which a man may leave his family, and the causes which may have retarded his return. It may include persons who leave them with a view to provide better for them than they can do by staying at home. It will include those unhappy men, whose misfortunes compel them to avoid an unrelenting creditor; nor is there any man, whatever his present circumstances may be, who, may not (thro' misfortune) incur the heavy penalties annexed to this Bill, should it pass into a law. The man who breaks the endearing ties which bind him to his family, more frequently deserves commiseration than punishment; and it certainly would as little consist with humanity and the principles of equal liberty, to leave such persons when poor and friendless, to imprisonment, whips and servitude, at the discretion of the Magistrate. GEO. CLINTON.
The House went into the immediate consideration of the said objections, and passed the Bill notwithstanding.
The House went into a Committee on the Bill concerning distresses, and for the more easy recovery of rents, and to prevent frauds by tenants:
Mr. J. Cantine, in the Chair.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
Adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.

FELLOW CITIZENS,
THE Legislature having submitted the new form of Federal Government to a Convention of delegates, to be chosen by the free citizens of this State; it becomes your duty to reflect in time, upon the persons proper for your choice. The business upon which they all have to decide, it is well known to you, involves your dearest interests. Lay aside every thing, therefore, which looks like the spirit of party. Be unanimous, and strain every nerve to unite the influence of patriotism, talents and property. With this view, the following list of candidates are offered to your consideration.
John Jay, John Sloss Hobart, Isaac Roosevelt, William Constable, Rob. R. Livingston, James Duane, Alexander Macomb, Nicholas Cruger, Alexander Hamilton,
A FEDERALIST.
Mr. CHILDS,
MANY of your readers, through the channel of your paper, beg leave to request the author or authors of the Centinel , published at Philadelphia, would desist from pestering the good people of these states with any more of their antifederal productions; they had better wipe their pens in clean, rather than in dirty cotton. The convention of Massachusetts has ratified the Constitution of the United States, and it being expected that there will not be a dissenting state in the union, the effect of their feeble essays therefore ought to convince them of their laboring in vain, as much as their attempting to wash the Black-amoar white. Yours, L. S.

MR. PRINTER, THE repofitories of the dead have been held in a manner facred, in all ages, and almoft in all countries. It is a fhame, that they should be fo very fcandaloufly dealt with, as I have been informed they are in this City. It is faid that few blacks are buried, whofe bodies are permitted to remain in the grave. And, that even en- closed burying-grounds, belonging to Churches, have been robbed of their dead: That fwine have been feen devouring the entrails and flefti of women, taken out of a grave, which, on account of an alarm, was left behind: That human flefti has been ra- ken up along the docks, fewed up in bags; and that this horrid practice is purfued to make a merchandize of human bones, more than for the purpofe of improvement in A- natomy. Some years ago, in Ireland, the bones of the dead, were, by fome avarici- ous diftillers, made ufe of to extract an ar- dent fpirit from, 'till the practice was ftopped by law. In England, none but the bodies of Criminals are made ufe of for dif- fection. If a law was paffed, prohibiting the bodies of any other than Criminals from being difsected, unlefs by particular defire of the dying, or the relation of the dead, for the benefit of mankind, a flop might be put to the horrid practice here; and the minds of a very great number of my fellow-liberated, or ftill enflaved Blacks quieted. By publishing this, you will great- ly oblige both them, and your very hum- ble fervant.

Mr. CHILDS, IN your paper of yesterday, it appears that Blair M'Clenachan has entered bail to my attachment against his property; the author of the piece mentions me as a pretended creditor; my demand is JUST, and such as will fully appear upon INVESTIGATION, and I am at all times ready for trial, unconnected with party or colleague: Now it may not be amiss to mention, that although the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors, requires proof to be made of only 40l. and upwards being due; my claim is upwards of 800l. Specie, and in pursuance of my late attachment, I have brought Blair M'Clenachan from Pennsylvania, so far as has enabled me to institute an action against and hold him to bail here, therefore the suit is still going forward against him; which he could repeatedly have prevented by coming to a fair settlement, being frequently solicited by letter for that purpose, ever since the 30th day of June, 1786. The letters he never answered, but of late returned them unopened. Now I leave the public to decide on the rectitude of my proceedings. It appears they were far from being desirable on my part; but time and circumstances rendered them unavoidable; and as the only method I had of obtaining redress, without being under the necessity of making a journey to Pennsylvania. The pretended Friend and Colleague of Blair M'Clenachan, is William Neilson, who, in mentioning in his piece of the 11th current, the word pretended , has wantonly strayed from the truth, as usual. ARCHIBALD BLAIR. New-York. Feb. 11, 1788.

By the Honorable JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esquire, one of the (L.S.) Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York.
To the Sheriff of the City and County of New-York, Greeting.
