The lovers of the Drama, it is expected, will be highly gratified in the representation of the School for Soldiers, to be performed this evening at the Theatre. The military procession to the execution of the Deserter, as now performed in London, at the Royalty Theatre, to crowded houses (borrowed by Mr. Palmer from this piece) is the most striking solemnity that ever yet appeared on any stage, and will, no doubt, afford not only a pleasing but truly instructive amusement.
Extract of a letter from Wood's Fort, on Williamson's Swamp, Washington County, Georgia, dated March 14, 1788.
“On the 12th inst. a party of the Savages were discovered at the plantation of Mr. Sikes, about a mile on the South side of Williamson's Swamp, by the barking of the dogs, about two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Sikes went over the fence to see what they were barking at, when he was fired at by a party of Indians, and received three balls in his arm, shoulder, and hip; he then returned over the fence to his house, and as he was going in, received another shot, which broke his leg; the party also fired at Mrs. Sikes as she stood at the door. Mr. Sikes, notwithstanding his wounds, now prepared to defend his wife and four children, but the Savages did not attempt the house. A young man, from a neighboring family, hearing the report of the guns, came to the house, and finding Mr. Sikes in that situation, went to the Fort for assistance; he returned again immediately with one Allen Spurlock, who placed Mr. Sikes on a bed in his sledge, with one of his daughters, about 9 years old, his wife's sister, about 16 years old, walking, and Mrs. Sikes on horseback, with one child before and one behind her, and proceeded towards the Fort (the young man having gone into the swamp to bring off another family); but before they reached it they were fired on by the Indians, who had come in their rear; upon which they all ran and left Mr. Sikes, and in attempting to gain the Fort the young woman and Allen Spurlock were shot and scalped. The little girl, carrying a bottle of rum in her hand, begged the Savages to accept of it, and to spare her life; but they denied her and her rum, and said they wanted her scalp; upon which they knocked her down and scalped her. They then pursued Mrs. Sikes, who, with her children, must have fallen into their hands, had not Major Wood come to their assistance. The little girl came to the Fort about half an hour afterwards, and seems likely to recover. The next day the same or another party of Indians passed within sight of this Fort.”
Genuine Copy of a letter from Captain John Sullivan, to his Excellency Thomas Pinckney, Esquire, Governor of the State of South-Carolina.
STATE OF GEORGIA, Flint River, Frontier of the Spanish Dominions, 27th December, 1787.
May it please your Excellency,
I DO myself the honor of addressing your Excellency, in pursuance to a communication which has been made to me this day by a distinguished officer from the Western Water, inasmuch that Congress have been pleased to dispatch decisive orders to the Commander in Chief of the Continental Troops on the Ohio for the express purpose of arresting my person; and being assured that similar instructions were transmitted by that Honorable Body to the Executive of South-Carolina. My ignorance of any cause from which a mandate of this nature
could arise, or on what legal grounds such an extraordinary procedure can possibly be adopted, induces me to solicit from your Excellency official information of the authenticity of this intelligence. I have too exalted a sense of the wisdom and patriotic principles of most of the Federal Deputies, to harbor an idea that my late confidential letter to the Minister of Spain should have operated in this instance; from a solid conviction that there exists no statuted or implied coercive power in any of the State Executives, much less in Congress, legally authorizing them to control that noble prerogative a citizen of America possesses—the prerogative of unfolding his private political opinions to the world at large, to Sovereigns even and to States, but with far less ceremony to the mere representative of any Transatlantic Monarch.
Your Excellency must be perfectly informed that the Constitution of this land confers on every free man the glorious privilege of addressing Kings; and when it is considered that the freemen of all common-wealths are actual Kings themselves, I am led to believe that the private sentiments which were imparted in a confidential letter to the Minister of Spain cannot, in consonance to any established rule of law, be brought under the charge of Majesty offended .
Events of deep importance to this country and Spain, which are now buried in the womb of time, are insensibly progressing from the crude probability of speculation to the growth and maturity of fact; and the period cannot be very remote, when the intrepid Tartar of the West, the inexpugnable Kentuckian and Frank , will dare to proclaim, that the Natchez shall be restored either by negotiation or arms, and that their right to the free navigation of the Mississippi shall be no longer withheld by an indolent, jealous, and impolitic nation.—Had his Excellency the Minister of Spain for a moment reflected, that my unimportant sentiments respecting our invaded rights of navigation, were but the simple echo of the voice of nineteen twentieths of the people of America, and which had long before been published by many distinguished General Officers of the late war, now residing on the Western Waters, his good sense would have pointed out the impropriety of importuning Congress on the trivial subject of a letter, so perfectly apologetic and confidential; a letter written to himself, and by his having (probably) first committed it to the press, of exhibiting his intended vengeance in so feeble a form before a bantering and sneering universe. No personal consideration shall ever induce me to withdraw from any investigation which may arise on this subject; on the contrary, I will with cheerfulness wait the issue of all impeachments of such a nature, conscious that I have not exceeded those limits which the law prescribes, and that freedom of opinion is the inalienable birthright of every citizen or denizen of these States.
If a simple declaration of sentiments on a political question; sentiments unattended with any overt act; sentiments which American citizens daily presume to express to their local sovereigns, can be construed into criminality by any body of men, and by those in particular, who possess no legislative rights, nor any right in time of peace, affecting the person of a free man—such an assumption of power must strike at the very existence of liberty. I have therefore, the strongest conviction, that my letter to the Minister of Spain, consists in reasoning on contingent events, and that in strictness of law, the smallest restraint in matters of a speculative nature, must be a gross usurpation of rights, established by the late Revolution. Your Excellency well recollects, that not many years have elapsed, since the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of St. James's, complained of a newspaper insult which was offered to the intellectuals of his Royal Sovereign. The publication was conformable to general belief, and he was informed, for his satisfaction, by the British Court, that the laws of England, laws still prevailing with us, inflicted no punishment on a subject for using his native privilege of promulgating opinions. The King of England, as little united to us by treaty as the Spanish Monarch, has, since the peace, been personally reviled in our prints, and his nation repeatedly menaced with hostilities, in consequence of the unjust retention of the Western posts, and yet he was silent. He is legally abused in his own land. Kings, Queens, Nations, and Courts, are there stricture with impunity. What has deprived a citizen of America of the same privilege? No law yet extant has done it.
I am not aware, however, of any deficiency of respect, either by words or actions, which could have originated on my part in derogation of the Minister of Spain, having always entertained the highest veneration for his person and commission.
I respect him not only as an Ambassador, but I admire him as a man. I also reverence myself as a freeman of this enlightened country, and hold in too high estimation, the right to canvass freely, and discuss
all measures in which the people, of whom I am a part, are vitally interested, tamely to suffer it to be infringed by any power, whether foreign or domestic. Let a law be once established, by which a citizen of America dare not with impunity disclose his political opinions, even in the confidence of a private letter, and no person will observe a line of greater caution or reserve in all my future addresses to dignified subordinates .
Passive obedience shall be my invariable creed.
I will then bow before the image of power, and yield such exterior acquiescence as the Prophet of old recommended to his Syrian convert. I will not even consider that congressional mandate extraordinary, which should ordain an annual pilgrimage to an imported, unprocreative jack-ass , in order to manifest in person, my implicit devotion to the congenial attributes of the royal donor.
On this important occasion, I am happy in having the honor to address a soldier of science and distinction, who is perfectly enabled to determine, how far any requisition from any external or internal power should be acquiesced with, on the one hand, when the liberty of the citizen evidently preponderates on the other.
I have the honor to remain, With profound respect, Your Excellency's most obedient And most humble servant, JOHN SULLIVAN. P. S. Enclose my address to the Governor of Georgia.
From the Virginia Independent Chronicle.
RICHARD HENRY LEE, Esq. SIR, March 12, 1788.
EVERY man, who will, impartially, reflect for a moment, must acknowledge, that opinions have been insidiously disseminated, respecting the Federal Constitution, which are entirely devoid of truth. They have acquired reputation, and obtained belief, merely by being repeated from one to another. Circulating with a rapidity not to be resisted, they have, unhappily, roused in the minds of many honest characters, a violent opposition. How much you have, designedly, contributed to inflame this opposition, an impartial investigation of your letter will determine.
You say “It has hitherto been supposed a fundamental maxim, that in Governments rightly balanced, the different branches of legislation should be unconnected, and the legislative and executive powers should be separate.”
The experience of the English Government, and the opinions of the most eminent writers on this subject, whose abilities, I will not say integrity, merit greater confidence than yours, controdict in the strongest language, this assertion. Are the branches of the Legislature of that Government “unconnected,” in which the King, who alone composes one branch of the Legislature, has the power of conferring by his charter upon any set, or succession of men, he pleases, the privilege of sending representatives to one house of parliament, and who can place by his immediate appointment, whom he will, in the other? Are the legislative and executive powers in that Government “separate,” in which the King, who has the whole of the executive, occupies one entire branch of the legislative? Recollect yourself, Sir, does not the house of lords partake of all the branches of power? May they not, as hereditary counsellors of the crown, be called upon by the King for their advice in all matters of importance to the realm, either during the session or adjournment of parliament? And do they not in this capacity partake of the executive power? Is not the house of lords, also, altho' one branch of the Legislature, the supreme court and dernier resort, in all judicial matter. These are questions, which you dare not deny. What then becomes of your assertions? Silence, Richard, experience is against you.
Let us, now, see what your favorite author, Blackstone, says on this subject. “In all tyrannical governments the supreme magistracy, or the right of making and enforcing the laws, is vested in one and the same man, or one and the same body of men; and whenever these two powers are united together, there can be no public liberty.” From this it appears, that liberty is only endangered, when the whole of the power of both making and enforcing laws is vested in one man, or in the same body of men. This observation is more fully proved, by what the same author farther says, with the greatest perspicuity on this subject. “But where the legislative and executive authority are in distinct hands, the former will take care not to entrust the latter with so large a power, as may tend to the subversion of its own independence, and there-with of the liberty of the subject. With us therefore in England, this supreme power is divided into two branches, the one legislative, to wit, the parliament, consisting of King, Lords, and Commons: the other executive, consisting of the King alone.” In another place he says, “It is highly ne-
cessary for preserving the balance in the Constitution, that the executive power should be a branch, though not the whole of the legislature. The total union of them,” he continues to say, “we have seen, would be productive of tyranny; the total disjunction of them, for the present, would in the end, produce the same effects, by causing that union, against which, it seems to provide. To hinder therefore, any such encroachments, the King is himself a part of the parliament; and as this is the reason of his being so, very properly therefore, the share of legislation, which the Constitution has placed in the crown, consists in the power of rejecting, rather than resolving; this being sufficient to answer the end proposed.”
Richard Henry Lee, what say you? Are these quotations just or not? I dare you to speak out. I should not, Sir, have produced them, did I not conceive it necessary to convince the world, that you are either totally ignorant of the subject on which you write, or that you have ungenerously attempted to deceive the people against your better information.

MONTMORIN. THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort M'Intosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settle- ment formerly called Logstown, which was abandon- ed previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years. MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and a- bounds in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the wa- ter is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communi- cation or route from the Eastern and middle states to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settle- ments; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, be- ing all 66 feet wide; except Great George; Wash- ington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 9 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in trustees for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moder- ate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the de- livery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis. The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenburgh and Heister, Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputa- ble titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appro- priation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Tho- mas Bradford, and at the Coffee-House, Philadel- phia; Mr. John Delafeld, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hobley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Major Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bouquet's Expedi- tion, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the Eng- lish and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the up- per town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Pro- ceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."

The FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS OF NEW-YORK. A Number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly 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 Govern- ment, 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'HOMMEDIEU, PAUL MICHEAU. As Members of the Assembly. COMFORT SANDS, WILLIAM W. GILBERT, ALEXANDER M'COMB, NICHOLAS HOFFMAN, BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON, GULIAN VERPLANCK, NICHOLAS LOW, RICHARD HARRISON, JOHN WATTS, Jun.
In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. 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 inte- "rest of every true American,—the conso- "lidation of our Union, in which is in- "volved, 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 sub- mitted 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 pur- pose 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. By Order of the Meeting, THOMAS RANDALL, Chairman. New-York, April 8, 1788.
