BALTIMORE, June 29. THE Patrician Society , lately established in Richmond, Virginia, have solemnly pledged themselves to each other in their capacities merely as private citizens, by their examples to inculcate, and by their influence to extend, the principles and practices contained in the following resolutions, which they have severally confirmed by their Signatures.—
“ RESOLVED , That the only method in the power of the people honestly and effectually to relieve themselves from the oppression of public and of private debt, is by spirited exertions of industry to increase the productions of the country, to avoid dissipation, and by a strict frugality, to lessen their expences.”
“ RESOLVED , That we will be at all times ready, by every encouragement in our power, to promote any well-founded scheme of trade and manufacture to which the circumstances of this state are adapted, and the profits of which shall arise and centre with her own citizens.”
“ RESOLVED , That the present circumstances of this state are adapted to the manufacture of the coarser wools, cottons, linens, cordage, leather and iron; and the production of salted pork and beef, of butter, cheese, soap, tallow and candles.”
“ RESOLVED , That the present circumstances of this country are also adapted to the brewing of malt liquors, and to the distilling of spirits from grain and other subjects, in such quantities as, with proper attention and encouragement, would be sufficient for general consumption.”
“ RESOLVED therefore , That we will use the utmost of our exertions, to promote agriculture in general, and more particularly those parts of it, which tend most to the encouragement of our own manufactures, and to the diminution of foreign importations.”
NOTICE is hereby given, that by virtue of a writ for that purpose issued out of the court of chancery of this state of New-York, and to me directed; I shall sell at public vendue, on the twenty-fifth day of August next (on the premises or otherwise) to the highest bidder, or bidders, all that certain Mesuage and Tenement, and Twelft of Land, now or lately belonging to WILLIAM CONROY , and ABIGAIL his wife, lying and being in Pawling's Precinct , and in the Oblong , being part of the Lot, No. 43, beginning, &c.

WHITE TEETH!
I. Greenwood, SURGEON DENTIST, No. 199, Water-Street , opposite the Coffee-house,
ENCOURAGED by the success of his practice, begs leave to acquaint the public, that he preserves the TEETH and GUMS, by removing an infectious tartar that corrupts them, and renders the natural purity of the breath offensive, this tartar acquires a solidity equal to stone, the corrosive particles destroy the enamel of the teeth, the body of it causes an inflammation in the gums, and by degrees will strip them from the roots of the teeth, and if not removed, force them out of their sockets.—He cures the scurvy in the gums, softens the teeth, extracts, replaces, transplants, and regulates, cleans the teeth and makes them white, substitutes artificial teeth in so neat a manner as not to be perceived from the natural, without drawing the stumps, or causing the least pain; they help mastication, give a youthful air to the countenance, render pronunciation more agreeable and distinct; in a word, as there is nothing more beautiful, and of such real service as a good set of teeth, both natural and artificial are worthy the attention of every one.—His charges are low, to give every person an opportunity of being benefited by him.
Advice and assistance to the Poor gratis. As the irregularity and decay of the teeth is chiefly attributed to inattention while they are young, said GREENWOOD proposes to take the care of children's teeth, and to keep them clean, firm, and regular, without drawing, or causing the least pain, at the moderate price of EIGHT DOLLARS per annum. This is certainly worthy the particular concern of every parent who wishes their children to have a good set of teeth; and, as only one year of his attention to children, from ten to fourteen years of age, will answer all the purposes above mentioned, he doubts not but this his proffered service will be highly acceptable.—Any advice that may be necessary after the expiration of one year shall be given gratis.
Said GREENWOOD will with pleasure attend those ladies or gentlemen, who cannot conveniently wait on him, upon their sending directions. New-York, July 12, 1787. 23—

MISCELLANY.
AN ORDINANCE
FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES, North West of the River Ohio.
BE it ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, That the said territory, for the purposes of temporary government, be one district; subject, however, to be divided into two districts, as future circumstances may, in the opinion of Congress, make it expedient.
Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That the estates both of resident and non-resident proprietors in the said territory, dying intestate, shall descend to, and be distributed among their children, and the descendants of a deceased child in equal parts; the descendants of a deceased child or grand-child, to take the share of their deceased parent in equal parts among them; and where there shall be no children or descendants, then in equal parts to the next of kin, in equal degree; and among collaterals, the children of a deceased brother or sister of the intestate, shall have in equal parts among them their deceased parents share; and there shall in no case be a distinction between kindred of the whole and half blood; saving in all cases to the widow of the intestate, her third part of the real estate for life, and one third part of the personal estate; and this law, relative to descents and dower, shall remain in full force until altered by the legislature of the district.—And until the governor and judges shall adopt laws as herein after mentioned, estates in the said territory may be devised or bequeathed by wills in writing, signed and sealed by him or her, in whom the estate may be (being of full age) and attested by three witnesses; and real estates may be conveyed by lease and release, or bargain and sale, signed, sealed, and delivered by the person, being of full age, in whom the estate may be, and attested by two witnesses, provided such wills be duly proved, and such conveyances be acknowledged, or the execution thereof duly proved, and be recorded within one year after; proper magistrates, courts, and registers shall be appointed for that purpose; and personal property may be transferred by delivery, saving, however, to the French and Canadian inhabitants, and other settlers of the Kaskaskies, Saint Vincents, and the neighbouring villages, who have heretofore professed themselves citizens of Virginia, their laws and customs now in force among them, relative to the descent and conveyance of property.
Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That there shall be appointed from time to time, by Congress, a governor, whose commission shall continue in force for the term of three years, unless sooner revoked by Congress; he shall reside in the district, and have a freehold estate therein, in one thousand acres of land, while in the exercise of his office.
There shall be appointed from time to time, by Congress, a secretary, whose commission shall continue in force for four years, unless sooner revoked, he shall reside in the district, and have a freehold estate therein, in five hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of his office; it shall be his duty to keep and preserve the acts and laws passed by the legislature, and the public records of the district, and the proceedings of the governor in his executive department; and transmit authentic copies of such acts and proceedings every six months, to the secretary of Congress: there shall also be appointed a court to consist of three judges, any two of whom to form a court, who shall have a common law jurisdiction, and reside in the district, and have each therein a freehold estate in five hundred acres of land, while in the exercise of their offices; and their commissions shall continue in force during good behaviour.
The governor and judges, or a majority of them, shall adopt and publish in the district, such laws of the original states, criminal and civil, as may be necessary, and best suited to the circumstances of the district, and report them to Congress, from time to time, which laws shall be in force in the district until the organization of the general assembly therein, unless disapproved of by Congress; but afterwards the legislature shall have authority to alter them as they shall think fit.
The governor, for the time being, shall be commander in chief of the militia, appoint and commission all officers in the same, below the rank of general officers; all general officers shall be appointed and commissioned by Congress.
Previous to the organization of the general assembly, the governor shall appoint such magistrates and other civil officers, in each county or township, as he shall find necessary for the preservation of the peace and good order in the same: after the general assembly shall be organized, the powers and duties of magistrates and other civil officers shall be regulated and defined by the said assembly; but all magistrates and other civil officers, not herein otherwise directed, shall, during the continuance of this temporary government, be appointed by the governor.
For the prevention of crimes and injuries, the laws to be adopted or made shall have force in all parts of the district, and for the execution of process, criminal and civil, the governor shall make proper divisions thereof, and he shall proceed from time to time, as circumstances may require, to lay out the parts of the district in which the Indian titles shall have been extinguished, into counties and townships, subject, however, to such alterations as may thereafter be made by the legislature.
So soon as there shall be five thousand free male inhabitants, of full age, in the district, upon giving proof thereof to the governor, they shall receive authority, with time and place, to elect representatives from their counties or townships, to represent them in the general assembly; provided, that for every five hundred free male inhabitants there shall be one representative, and so on progressively with the number of free male inhabitants, shall the right of representation increase, until the number of representatives shall amount to twenty-five, after which the number and proportion of representatives shall be regulated by the legislature; provided, that no person be eligible or qualified to act as a representative, unless he shall have been a citizen of one of the United States three years, and be a resident in the district, or unless he shall have resided in the district three years, and in either case shall likewise hold in his own right, in fee
simple, two hundred acres of land within the same: provided also, that a freehold in fifty acres of land in the district, having been a citizen of one of the states, and being resident in the district; or the like freehold and two years residence in the district, shall be necessary to qualify a man as an elector of a representative.
The representatives thus elected, shall serve for the term of two years, and in case of the death of a representative, or removal from office, the governor shall issue a writ to the county or township for which he was a member, to elect another in his stead, to serve for the residue of the term.
The general assembly, or legislature, shall consist of the governor, legislative council, and a house of representative. The legislative council shall consist of five members, to continue in office five years, unless sooner removed by Congress, any three of whom to be a quorum, and the members of the council shall be nominated and appointed in the following manner, to wit: as soon as representatives shall be elected, the governor shall appoint a time and place for them to meet together, and when met, they shall nominate ten persons, residents in the district, and each possessed of a freehold in five hundred acres of land, and return their names to Congress; five of whom Congress shall appoint and commission to serve as aforesaid; and whenever a vacancy shall happen in the council, by death or removal from office, the house of representatives shall nominate two persons, qualified as aforesaid, for each vacancy, and return their names to Congress; one of whom Congress shall appoint and commission for the residue of the term; and every five years, four months at least before the expiration of the time of service of the members of council, the said house shall nominate ten persons, qualified as aforesaid, and return their names to Congress, five of whom Congress shall appoint and commission to serve as members of the council five years, unless sooner removed. And the governor, legislative council, and house of representatives, shall have authority to make laws in all cases for the good government of the district, not repugnant to the principles and articles in this ordinance established and declared. And all bills having passed by a majority in the house, and by a majority in the council, shall be referred to the governor for his assent; but no bill, or legislative act whatever, shall be of any force without his assent. The governor shall have power to convene, prorogue and dissolve the general assembly, when in his opinion it shall be expedient.
The governor, judges, legislative council, secretary, and such other officers as Congress shall appoint in the district, shall take an oath or affirmation of fidelity, and of office, the governor before the president of Congress, and all other officers before the governor. As soon as a legislature shall be formed in the district, the council and house, assembled in one room, shall have authority by joint ballot to elect a delegate to Congress, who shall have a seat in Congress, with a right of debating, but not of voting, during this temporary government.
And for extending the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty, which form the basis whereon these republics, their laws and constitutions are created; to fix and establish those principles as the basis of all laws, constitutions and governments, which forever hereafter shall be formed in the said territory; to provide also for the establishment of states, and permanent government therein, and for their admission to share in the federal councils on an equal footing with the original states, at as early periods as may be consistent with the general interest.
It is hereby ordained and declared by the authority aforesaid, That the following articles shall be considered as articles of compact between the original states, and the people and states in the said territory, and forever remain unalterable, unless by common consent, to wit:
Article the First. No person, demeaning himself in a peaceable and orderly manner, shall ever be molested on account of his mode of worship or religious sentiments in the said territory.
Article the Second. The inhabitants of the said territory shall always be entitled to the benefits of the writ of habeas corpus, and of the trial by jury; of a proportionate representation of the people in the legislature, and of judicial proceedings according to the course of the common law; all persons shall be bailable unless for capital offences, where the proof shall be evident, or the presumption great; all fines shall be moderate, and no cruel or unusual punishments shall be inflicted; no man shall be deprived of his liberty or property but by the judgment of his peers, or of the law of the land; and should the public exigencies make it necessary for the common preservation to take any person's property, or to demand his particular services, full compensation shall be made for the same;—and in the just preservation of rights and property it is understood and declared, that no law ought to be made, or have force in the said territory, that shall in any manner whatever interfere with, or affect private contracts or engagements, bona fide and without fraud previously formed.
Article the Third. Religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. The utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent; and in their property, rights and liberty, they never shall be invaded nor disturbed, unless in just and lawful wars authorized by Congress; but laws founded in justice and humanity shall from time to time be made, for preventing wrongs being done to them, and for preserving peace and friendship with them.
Article the Fourth. The said territory, and the states which may be formed therein, shall forever remain a part of this confederacy of the United States of America, subject to the articles of confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of the United States in Congress assembled, conformable thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory, shall be subject to pay a part of the federal debts contracted or to be contracted, and a proportional part of the expenses of government, to be apportioned on them by Congress, according to the same common rule and measure by which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other states; and the taxes for paying their proportion, shall be laid and levied by the authority and direction of the legislatures of the
district or districts, or new states, as in the original states, within the time agreed upon by the United States in Congress assembled. The legislatures of those districts, or new states, shall never interfere with the primary disposal of the soil by the United States in Congress assembled, nor with any regulations Congress may find necessary for securing the title in such soil to the bona fide purchasers. No tax shall be imposed on lands the property of the United States; and in no case shall non-resident proprietors be taxed higher than residents. The navigable waters, leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be common highways, and forever free, as well to the inhabitants of the said territory, as to the citizens of the United States, and those of any other states that may be admitted into the confederacy, without any tax, impost or duty therefor.
Article the Fifth. There shall be formed in the said territory, not less than three nor more than five states; and the boundaries of the states, as soon as Virginia shall alter her act of cession and consent to the same, shall become fixed and established as follows, to wit: The western state in the said territory, shall be bounded by the Mississippi, the Ohio and Wabash rivers; a direct line drawn from the Wabash and Post St. Vincent's due north to the territorial line between the United States and Canada, and by the said territorial line to the lake of the Woods and Mississippi. The middle state shall be bounded by the said direct line, the Wabash from Post St. Vincent's to the Ohio; by the Ohio, by a direct line drawn due north from the mouth of the Great Miami to the said territorial line, and by the said territorial line. The eastern state shall be bounded by the last mentioned direct line, the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the said territorial line; Provided however, and it is further understood and declared, that the boundaries of these three states, shall be subject so far to be altered, that if Congress shall hereafter find it expedient, they shall have authority to form one or two states in that part of the said territory which lies north of an east and west line drawn through the southerly bend or extreme of lake Michigan, and whenever any of the said states shall have sixty thousand free inhabitants therein, such state shall be admitted by its delegates into the Congress of the United States, on an equal footing with the original states in all respects whatever; and shall be at liberty to form a permanent constitution and state government: Provided the constitution and government so to be formed, shall be republican, and in conformity to the principles contained in these articles; and so far as it can be consistent with the general interest of the confederacy, such admission shall be allowed at an earlier period, and when there may be a less number of free inhabitants in the state than sixty thousand.
Article the Sixth. There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said territory, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted: Provided always, that any person escaping into the same, from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed in any one of the original states, such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed and conveyed to the person claiming his or her labor or service as aforesaid.
Be it ordained by the authority aforesaid, That the resolutions of the 23rd of April, 1784, relative to the subject of this ordinance, be, and the same are hereby repealed and declared null and void.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in CONGRESS assembled,
To all who shall see these Presents, GREETING.
WHEREAS the United States of America in Congress assembled, by their commission bearing date the twelfth day of May one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four, thought proper to constitute JOHN ADAMS, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, and THOMAS JEFFERSON, their Ministers Plenipotentiary, giving to them, or a majority of them, full powers to confer, treat and negotiate with the ambassador, minister or commissioner of his majesty the Emperor of Morocco concerning a treaty of amity and commerce, to make and receive propositions for such treaty, and to conclude and sign the same, transmitting it to the United States in Congress assembled, for their final ratification:
And by one other commission bearing date the eleventh day of March one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, did farther empower the said ministers plenipotentiary, or a majority of them, by writing under their hands and seals to appoint such agent in the said business as they might think proper, with authority, under the directions and instructions of the said ministers, to commence and prosecute the said negotiations and conferences for the said treaty, provided that the said treaty should be signed by the said ministers: and whereas the said John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two of the said ministers plenipotentiary (the said Benjamin Franklin being absent) by writing under the hand and seal of the said John Adams, at London, October the fifth, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, and of the said Thomas Jefferson, at Paris, October the eleventh, of the same year, did appoint Thomas Barclay, agent in the business aforesaid, giving him the powers therein, which by the said second commission they were authorized to give, and the said Thomas Barclay in pursuance thereof hath arranged articles for a treaty of amity and commerce between the United States of America and his majesty the Emperor of Morocco, which articles, written in the Arabic language, confirmed by his said majesty the Emperor of Morocco, and sealed with his royal seal, being translated into the language of the said United States of America, together with the attestations thereto annexed, are in the following words, to wit:
In the Name of ALMIGHTY GOD; THIS is a treaty of peace and friendship established between us and the United States of America, which is confirmed, and which we have ordered to be written in this book, and sealed with our royal seal at our court of Morocco, on the twenty-fifth day of the blessed month of Shaban, in the year one thousand two hundred, trusting in God it will remain permanent.
I. We declare that both parties have agreed that this treaty, consisting of twenty-five articles, shall
be inserted in this book and delivered to the hon. Thomas Barclay, the agent of the United States now at our court, with whole approbation it has been made, and who is duly authorized on their part to treat with us concerning all the matters contained therein.
II. If either of the parties shall be at war with any nation whatever, the other party shall not take a commission from the enemy, nor fight under their colors.
III. If either of the parties shall be at war with any nation whatever, and take a prize belonging to that nation, and there shall be found on board subjects or effects belonging to either of the parties, the subjects shall be set at liberty, and the effects returned to the owners. And if any goods belonging to any nation, with whom either of the parties shall be at war, shall be loaded on vessels belonging to the other party, they shall pass free and unmolested without any attempt being made to take or detain them.
IV. A signal or pass shall be given to all vessels belonging to both parties, by which they are to be known when they meet at sea, and if the commander of a ship of war of either party shall have other ships under his convoy, the declaration of the commander shall alone be sufficient to exempt any of them from examination.
V. If either of the parties shall be at war, and shall meet a vessel at sea belonging to the other, it is agreed that if an examination is to be made, it shall be done by sending a boat with two or three men only, and if any gun shall be fired and injury done without reason, the offending party shall make good all damages.
VI. If any Moor shall bring citizens of the United States or their effects to his majesty, the citizens shall immediately be set at liberty, and the effects restored; and in like manner, if any Moor, not a subject of these dominions, shall make prize of any of the citizens of America or their effects, and bring them into any of the ports of his majesty, they shall be immediately released, as they will then be considered as under his majesty's protection.
VII. If any vessel of either party shall put into a port of the other, and have occasion for provisions or other supplies, they shall be furnished without any interruption or molestation.
VIII. If any vessel of the United States shall meet with a disaster at sea, and put into one of our ports to repair, she shall be at liberty to land, and reload her cargo without paying any duty whatsoever.
IX. If any vessel of the United States shall be cast on shore on any part of our coasts, she shall remain at the disposition of the owners, and no one shall attempt going near her without their approbation, as she is then considered particularly under our protection; and if any vessel of the United States shall be forced to put into our ports by stress of weather or otherwise, she shall not be compelled to land her cargo, but shall remain in tranquility until the commander shall think proper to proceed on his voyage.
X. If any vessel of either of the parties shall have an engagement with a vessel belonging to any of the Christian Powers within gun shot of the forts of the other, the vessel so engaged shall be defended and protected as much as possible until she is in safety; and if any American vessel shall be cast on shore on the coast of Wadnoon, or any coast thereabout, the people belonging to her shall be protected and assisted, until, by the help of God, they shall be sent to their country.
XI. If we shall be at war with any Christian Power, and any of our vessels sail from the ports of the United States, no vessel belonging to the enemy shall follow until twenty-four hours after the departure of our vessels; and the same regulation shall be observed towards the American vessels sailing from our ports;—be their enemies Moors or Christians.
XII. If any ship of war belonging to the United States shall put into any of our ports, she shall not be examined on any pretence whatever, even though she should have fugitive slaves on board, nor shall the governor or commander of the place compel them to be brought on shore on any pretext, nor require any payment for them.
XIII. If a ship of war of either party shall put into a port of the other and salute, it shall be returned from the fort with an equal number of guns, not with more or less.
XIV. The commerce of the United States shall be on the same footing as is the commerce with Spain, or as that with the most favored nation for the time being, and their citizens shall be respected and esteemed and have full liberty to pass and repass our country and sea ports whenever they please, without interruption.
XV. Merchants of both countries shall employ only such interpreters, and such other persons to assist them in their business as they shall think proper. No commander of a vessel shall transport his cargo on board an other vessel; he shall not be detained in port longer than he may think proper, and all persons employed in loading or unloading goods, or in any other labour whatever, shall be paid at the customary rates, not more and not less.
XVI. In case of a war between the parties, the prisoners are not to be made slaves, but to be exchanged one for another, captain for captain, officer for officer, and one private man for another; and if there shall prove a deficiency on either side, it shall be made up by the payment of one hundred Mexican dollars for each person wanting; and it is agreed that all prisoners shall be exchanged in twelve months from the time of their being taken, and that this exchange may be effected by a merchant, or any other person authorized by either of the parties.
XVII. Merchants shall not be compelled to buy or sell any kind of goods but such as they shall think proper; and may buy and sell all sorts of merchandise but such as are prohibited to the other Christian nations.
XVIII. All goods shall be weighed and examined before they are sent on board, and to avoid all detention of vessels, no examination shall afterwards be made, unless it shall first be proved, that contraband goods have been sent on board, in which case the persons who took the contraband goods on board, shall be punished according to the usage and custom of the country, and no other person whatever shall be injured, nor shall the ship or cargo incur any penalty or damage whatever.
XIX. No vessel shall be detained in port on any pretence whatever, nor be obliged to take on board any articles without the consent of the commander, who shall be at full liberty to agree for the freight of any goods he takes on board.
[To be concluded next week.]

L I S B O N, May 5.
A RUGUSAN vessel, from Algiers, which put in here a few days since, brings very disagreeable intelligence of that place. In the space of 20 days last month, there have died 4000 persons; upwards of 300 died every day before the mortality ceased. For all this, the corsairs of that regency have ventured out, and taken three Neopolitan ships. The Neopolitan Comms waited upon the Dey to complain of this infraction of the truce, which does not expire until the end of this month; but the Dey answered, that the short suspension of arms concerned only Neopolitan ships of war.
P A R I S, May 27.
On Friday last, the 25th instant, his Most Christian Majesty went in state to the Assembly of the Notables, when, after speeches having been delivered by the King, Monsieur the King's brother, and several of the great officers of state, and principal members, that Assembly was finally closed. After which they proceeded to Versailles, to return his Most Christian Majesty thanks for his gracious condescension in having called them together.
H A G U E, June 1.
The Prince Stadholder has sent a letter to the States of Holland and West Friesland, setting forth, in the strongest terms, that finding all his mildness and forbearance of no avail, and that not a few misguided individuals alone had endeavoured to deprive him of his rights and privileges; but that such resolutions had been taken in Holland, and such proceedings countenanced and supported, that he could no longer tamely see himself and his house deprived of his hereditary rights, and therefore thinks it his duty to declare himself ready to use his utmost endeavours, in conjunction with the States of Guelderland and Utrecht, &c. to heal the breaches in the union, and to re-establish peace, concord, and confidence, in and between all the provinces of this republic in general, as well as between their regents, and inhabitants of each in particular.
A M S T E R D A M, May 22.
This city, after the example of several other towns, has established a society for the maintenance of the constitution, to which, in the course of five days, 20,000 inhabitants put down their names, of whom 6000 engaged to carry arms in case of need to oppose those who call themselves patriots.
B E L F A S T, May 25.
The La Jeanne Marie, from Nantz, arrived here the 20th, which is the first French vessel here since the treaty; her cargo being promiscuous; without any regular consignment, was all landed, and put under the King's lock, but sold directly. This vessel, in return, takes our linen manufacture, without a single guinea in specie or any paper passing. If all the vessels of that nation act a similar part in future, this treaty will be very beneficial to Ireland.

Impeachment of Mr. Hastings.
Mr. Burke, attended by several members of the house of commons, presented the remaining articles of impeachment against Warren Hastings, Esq. from the eighth to the twentieth inclusive.
Sir Francis Molineux, utter of the black rod, then informed the house, that Warren Hastings, Esq. was attending in obedience to their Lordships summons. Ordered, that Mr. Hastings be called in.
Mr. Hastings, attended by the utter of the black rod, and Mr. Plover, one of his counsel, came to the bar, and having knelt, was desired by the lord chancellor to rise, to hear the remainder of the articles of impeachment read, which was done shortly by the clerk. He was then asked if he had any thing to offer to the consideration of the house? Mr. Hastings said, that he requested a copy of the articles, and that he might be allowed such time to answer or to plead to them as their lordships might think reasonable. He was then ordered to withdraw.
Lord Walsingham then moved, that Mr. Hastings be allowed a copy of the articles of impeachment, and that he also be allowed two months, and till the second sitting day of the next session of parliament, to answer or to plead to the same, which passed in the affirmative. Mr. Hastings was again called in, and informed that his request had been complied with. He then withdrew.
June 1. Letters from Rome advise, that the two frigates, fitted out by his holiness the pope, for the purpose of protecting the commerce of his subjects from the depredations of the Barbary pirates, have been lately both taken by the Algerines, near the harbour of Civita Vecchia, after a very severe conflict, in which the Pontiff's officers and men displayed the utmost bravery, but were subdued by superior numbers, and carried into Algiers, from whence the whole were indiscriminately sent up the country into slavery.
June 2. Monday the Duke of Rutland prorogued the Irish Parliament to the 24th of July, having previously addressed both houses in an elegant speech.
Wednesday Sir James Harris, Ambassador at the Hague, arrived at Harwick, on his way back to Holland.
From the Hague we hear, that a request has been proposed to the states of Holland of a very serious nature.—The principal articles of which is, to suspend the Stadholder from his offices, and that of Admiral General, and to keep him from his revenue! This was to be proposed in council on the 25th of May.
Almost all the troops of the Dutch line have refused to obey the orders of the states of Holland, declaring that they will remain steady to their oath. Two chiefs of regiments have declared, that if the states of Holland should suspend them, they would hold such suspension null and of no effect, and consequently should remain at the head of their regiments to execute the orders of the states General.
June 5. A private letter from the Hague has the following article: "The Prussian ambassador has delivered a memorial to their high mightinesses, setting forth, that if they continue their resolution in depriving the Prince of Orange of his places and revenues, and the privileges enjoyed by all his predecessors, the King his master will do his utmost endeavours, joined by some other powers, to re-establish his highness in the just right he is entitled to. It is also said, that the English ambassador has assured the states general, that the king his master will not look tamely on and see such injuries done to his serene highness. Their high mightinesses are deliberating on what steps are proper to be taken to bring about a reconciliation with the house of Orange, so that all parties may be satisfied; they sit almost every day, but nothing has yet transpired; however, we shall soon know their resolutions, as the above ambassadors have demanded immediate answers to their memorials."
The crisis of affairs in Holland is near at hand, when this country will be obliged to take some serious measures in behalf of the prince of Orange; for, according to the representations of Sir James Harris, if the present faction, which is entirely in the interest of France, should be suffered to prevail, the office of stadholder will be annihilated, and the United Provinces from that moment become dependent upon France; the consequence of which event must be, that whenever either branch of the house of Bourbon shall find it convenient to quarrel with Great Britain, Holland will declare against us; whereas, on the contrary, if the Stadholder is restored to his prerogative and power, this country will always find a friend in him disposed rather to unite with us, than oppose us.
On the 30th of May died suddenly, at Queenferry, of the gout in his stomach, Vice-Admiral Duff.
June 7. By letters immediately from Holland, we are informed, that the utmost tumults and confusion, approaching to a general rebellion, prevail at Amsterdam. Fourteen of the Stadholder's party were seized by the patriots of that country, and hanged in the public streets the next day.—Military law is now proclaimed; all orders for payment of money from the banks rejected; two cannon placed in the house of the Hopes, and every window of the wealthy planted with musketry for the protection of their lives and property.
Large sums of money within these few days have been laid out in the English funds by commissions from Holland, as the safest place of deposit.
Yesterday morning came on, before Mr. Justice Buller, and a special jury, the cause of the King against Lord George Gordon, for having published a pamphlet, tending to create sedition; when after a short hearing, he was found guilty.
Mr. Wilkins, printer of the above pamphlet, was then put on his trial and found guilty.
Lord George Gordon was then tried on another indictment, for publishing a libel against the Queen of France, and the Charge des Affairies of the French Court, of which he was also convicted. The sentence will not be given till next term.
New-York, July 26.
ON Saturday last, the Grantham, British Packet, Capt. Bull, arrived in this port, after a passage of forty-two days from Falmouth, with the Mail.—By the packet we have received London papers from the 10th, of May to June 7, from which are extracted the articles under our Foreign head of this day. Thus we see, that Holland is in convulsions, that England, probably, and probably other powers, will soon be involved in the Stadholderian disputes; and that the late governor of Bengal (East Indies) Mr. Hastings, is finally impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Besides this intelligence we also learn, by the packet, that the King of England has issued his royal proclamation, for the encouragement of piety and virtue, and for the preventing and punishing of vice, profaneness and immorality. That on the 30th May his Majesty made a most gracious speech, expressive of his entire approbation of the zeal of his lords and commons, in the business he had recommended, thanking them for such reiterated proofs of their affection for him and family: he expressed a friendly concern for the republics of Holland, who are involved in unhappy dissensions. That his Majesty, after this speech, was pleased to prorogue the parliament to the 31st July. That his grace, the lord lieutenant of Ireland has prorogued that parliament to the 24th July, after having expressed his satisfaction at their proceedings during the session. That the peasantry of Norway have recently revolted to a considerable number, so as to give uneasiness to the court of Denmark, and to oblige them to send out an armed force, which soon quelled them. That the Russians and Turks are preparing for war. That thirty-three sail of Russian men of war are expected in England for provisions, &c. an agent, for this purpose, having already arrived. That the prince of Wales, and the bishop of London, have been much indisposed, but are each on the recovery, &c. &c.
It seems that the copper act of this state has caused a general convulsion in the whole mass of that minor specie of coins in several of the states, particularly those in our vicinity. In Connecticut they now pass at various rates, and base metal frequently rejected; their own coinage has the preference. At New-Jersey the value of coppers varies from twenty to thirty for a shilling, notwithstanding an act of that state, in June, 1786, permitting the coinage of coppers, to the amount of ten thousand pounds, enacting, that said coppers should pass in payments, or exchange, at the rate of fifteen to a Jersey shilling. Another act, passed at Burlington, on the 4th of June, 1787, that after the 20th day of July (instant) no copper, except of the coinage above mentioned, shall pass in payment or exchange under the forfeiture of ten times the nominal value of the sum so offered, to be reckoned by action of debt by any person that will sue for and recover the same, with costs of suit, to and for his own use: from this source the greater part of the present copper grievance, in that state, is doubtless derived. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, &c. and even Nova-Scotia have taken the alarm, bearing a strong presumption, that poor COPPER will finally be excluded the privilege of roving in any part of the continent.
We learn from Albany, that on the 16th inst. three negroes, belonging to Schenectady, were committed to the goal in that city, "for passing counterfeit ten pound bills." The marks, by which these bills may be detected, we have not yet been able to ascertain. It is shrewdly suspected, that there are also white villains, in this counterfeiting business, who have employed these sable boys to do their drudgery, and it becomes the duty of every individual, as well as magistrate, to exert himself in discovering the culprits.
Wednesday, last week, being the anniversary commencement at the university in Cambridge, the degree of bachelor of arts was conferred on fifty-one young gentlemen.
Via Halifax, and Shelburne, we learn, that the Thiby, in company with the London, on board of which was Lady Dorchester, have arrived in the river St. Lawrence, from London.
We learn, that the greatest unanimity subsists in the Federal Convention.
On Monday last, a seaman, belonging to the Grantham, British Packet, was unfortunately drowned near Crane wharf. In attempting to get into the boat, then lying at the wharf, his foot slipped, by which accident he fell into the water and immediately disappeared. His body was soon after taken up, and every method used, by the faculty, to recover his life, but to no effect.
We congratulate our country friends upon the joyful seasonableness of the latter rains, with which they have been so plentifully favored in the course of the last week. It is now to be presumed, that the venders of vegetable, butter, &c. will no longer impotently avail themselves of the dryness of the season, as a cloak to their extravagant demands for these articles; and that they will reflect, how greatly those deserve the curse of a severe drought, who falsely, for filthy lucre, complain of curses, while all nature smiles around them—while the enchanting verdure of the fields imperceptible forces from the Christian heart ejaculations of gratefulness to the God of nature for seasonable weather, and the joyful prospects of a plentiful latter harvest.
Poor Shays—little is said of him. The continual high-handed robberies of many of his adherents has caused even those to shun him who have hitherto favoured his system; and, to his dear friends he has become a burthen. Shays has been heard lately to exclaim, in the horrors of his imagination—"Oh! Genii of murder, rapine, and treason! [his only god] why hast thou forsaken me!!!" The rebellion dwindles; and, by several letters from field officers to government, it appears, that there remains no apprehension of evils except from the plundering parties. Several of the very humane friends to Shattuck have recently petitioned authority for his pardon and enlargement, &c.
A correspondent observes, that he is exceedingly surprised, that those who have wives and daughters, suffer them to attend the Mountebank exhibitions at the city tavern. That the robust heroes of the world may behold the human form distorted into a variety of unnatural shapes, without its being productive of any other evil consequences than mispence of time, squandering of money, &c. I readily acknowledge—but, the tenderly susceptible minds of the fair, in addition to these palpable evils, are exposed to a thousand other evils, far more consequential and alarming, which a respect to delicacy, and the refined sentiments of the fair, are rendered inexpressible in a newspaper paragraph. [Our correspondent will please to excuse an omission of the greater part of his paragraph this week. It shall be further noticed in our next.]
We learn from Charleston (S. C.) that the ship Roman Emperor, Captain Kerr, in a passage of eleven weeks from London, with passengers—George Miller, Esq. British Consul, lady and sister, Mr. Nathaniel Heyward, and Mr. O'Halloran, arrived there on the 8th instant.
We learn, that a canal is opening between the rivers Loire and Garonne (France) which, when effected, will actually intersect the kingdom in every direction, and form an inland navigation to the extent of 1200 miles, joining the cities of Nantz, Cetté, Bourdeaux, Orleans, Tours, Poitiers, Toulouse, and two hundred other inland towns, giving them all water carriage to the ocean, in the bay of Biscay, Atlantic, the British Channel, and the Mediterranean. This is a great enterprise, and infinitely redounds to the credit of France.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Berryman, Master of the Fyal Packet, to Henry Nash, Esq. of New-York, dated at Fyal, May 17, 1787.
"Capt. French and crew are here in prison for running his vessel plumb on the beach in a fine day off the town, with seven feet water in the hole. There are spoil holes in the stern with fresh plugs in them:—To be supposed it is wilfully done in order to recover a great insurance.—He is to sail for Lisbon as a prisoner, there to be tried, or in England. The vessel is got off, quite found and tight—sold—loaded with flax-seed from New-York."
Letters from the Hague mention, that a formidable fleet is now in preparation, by order of the states general, to be sent to the East-Indies.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Augusta, to his friend in Savannah, dated 19th June.
The back country people have lately killed 35 Indians, and a party under the command of Col. Alexander, consisting of 300 men, is gone out; so that a general war is thought to be unavoidable. A number of the finest horses have within this week past been stolen in and near Augusta, likewise two negroes; some more slaves were taken, but made their escape, and gave the alarm: one Prater is taken up on suspicion of being concerned with the thieves, who are supposed to have made their way to the Indian nation: a party is about going after them, and are in hopes to overtake them.
A letter from Pittsburgh, dated May 26, says:—"A gentleman, who arrived the 19th inst. from the mouth of Limestone, which place he left the 1st of May, informs us, that seven warriors of the Shawanese nation had come in there, on the 27th of April, with nine white people, to exchange for the same number of Indian prisoners, taken by colonel Logan. The chief of these savages (Capt. Wolf) gave the gentleman to understand, that 30 warriors of the Cherokee nation were then out at war. Our informant adds, that as he came up the river, he saw five bark canoes and three rafts, cross below the mouth of Scioto, full of Indians."
"At the Mingo bottom, the gentleman saw a woman from wheeling, by the name of Purdy, who informed him that 14 of the inhabitants of that place and the settlement adjoining had been killed and taken by the Indians, a short time before, and that the rest of the settlers were then sorted."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Dominica, to the printer hereof, dated June 18, 1787.
"Liberality is a predominant passion in this government. A brig from Martinique, bound to North-Carolina, was yesterday seized on suspicion of smuggling; being drove by calms within five leagues of land, though the act of parliament specifies, that they are out of reach two leagues off—Commodore Johnson, in the ship Jupiter, was the occasion of it—however, on deliberation they deemed advisable to release her within 24 hours."
A sloop with cattle too, from Saybrook for Musquito, met the same fate, but whether it was a longing in our leaders to touch part of the delicious morsels they contained, or some other cause, I cannot tell.—They gave her permission to sell here and depart within the above limits."
With the above letters were received Dominica Gazettes to the 16th of June. These papers inform, of the very distinguished reception and treatment of his Royal Highness Prince William Henry; of their instant expectation of the arrival of the Dominica Free Port Bill from England, to enliven their trade, and to raise them to the rank of respectability; and of the arrival, at Prince Rupert's Bay, of Commodore Parker, in the Jupiter ship of war, accompanied by the Sybil and Solebay frigates; of the arrivals of the brig Jenny, Capt. Parker, from Liverpool, brig General Orde, Capt. Hunter, from Philadelphia, ship Duchess of Portland, Capt. Francis, from London, with honorable Charles, Winstone, and Benjamin Walker, Esquires, &c. passengers, ship Three Sisters, Capt. Tatham, and Canton, Bell, from Cork, Enterprise, Wilson, from Annamaboe, with slaves, and ship Robinson, Hogg, from Cork.
It is said, that great complaints are made by the people on the frontiers of Georgia, against the Spaniards, who are accused of harbouring runaway slaves, in defiance of applications made by their owners.
The Spaniards are augmenting their navy, and putting it on the most respectable establishment. They have launched, since the peace of 1783, eleven ships of the line, one of which is of 100 guns, one of 86, two of 80, and the others of 70 guns each.
Passengers arrived in his Britannic Majesty's Packet Grantham:—Honorable Mr. Jones, Mr. Joy, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Nicholins.
The ship Grace, Captain Armour, from this port, arrived at Amsterdam the 25th of May.
