MISCELLANY.
For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c.
MR. GREENLEAF,
THE affair of Col. Oswald's imprisonment, at Philadelphia, being a general topic of conversation in this city, and many erroneous ideas having been handed about, renders it a piece of common justice, that the particulars respecting the alarming event be published, not only in this state but throughout the union. I have therefore sent you the papers containing them, and do not doubt, from my knowledge of your liberality, that the series of pieces will appear, properly arranged, in your Weekly Register.
I am yours, &c.
LIBERTAS.
New-York, July 29, 1788.
[Agreeable to the spirit of the above polite address, the subject referred to is here taken up, and will be continued in this paper.]
To the PUBLIC.
HAVING been informed that an idea prevails among some of my fellow citizens, that I had actually offered an insult to the court, by refusing to attend when summoned before them, I think it necessary to declare, that such an idea is totally false and erroneous. In a few days a true statement of the cruel and arbitrary measures that have been taken against me, shall be laid before the public—But as my cause is the cause of every free man in America, I flatter myself the patriotic strictures of men of eminence and abilities will be called forth on the present alarming occasion: for now is the time the people should be informed, whether the Power which has imposed fine and imprisonment upon me, without having been convicted of any crime or offence whatever, should exist and be vested in any one man or set of men in this country?
For the present I shall content myself with observing, that those measures are destructive of the Freedom of the Press, the foundation of all our liberties—of the trial by jury—and an invasion of the laws of nature and the constitution which allows no person to condemn himself!—And upon the same ground I am committed, any man may be compelled to disclose the secrets of his profession—and his wife to reveal the secrets of her husband. Indeed no confidence could subsist between man and man! Every person, in short, would be in the power of the court to be dealt arbitrarily with as the court pleased; and it is impossible to say where the mischief would end. Any thing however trivial might be construed into a contempt—to look sullenly at a judge would be a contempt—to speak or to write concerning his department would be such in a greater or less degree. He sets supreme in his own cause without the interposition of a jury, abuses a man's counsel at his pleasure, and is subject to no controul!
I am still the Public's Very humble servant, ELEAZER OSWALD.
Jail of the city and county of Philadelphia, July 17, 1788. The impression of the Independent Gazetteer of the 1st July, which contained my address to the public, being exhausted, and for which the court, in the plenitude of their fancied power, have thought proper to award fine and imprisonment; and many persons desirous to satisfy their own minds as to that very contemptuous publication, I take the liberty, with all due submission to their honors, to reprint it, hoping that I shall not thereby incur their honor's displeasure and a similar penalty.
To the PUBLIC.
WHEN violent attacks are made upon a person under pretext of private justice, and legal steps are taken on the occasion, not perhaps to redress the supposed injury, but to feed and gratify partisanship and temporising resentment, it is not unwarrantable in such person to represent the real statement of his case, and appeal to the world for their sentiments and countenance. The disinterested and impartial part of mankind are concerned in these addresses and appeals; and it is hoped that they will always pay a becoming attention to the relations of truth and insulted innocence. Indeed while we are at liberty thus to lay before the public our own particular grievances (and this liberty I trust, at least while I live, will never be denied a citizen of Pennsylvania) there is no fear but judicious, intelligent, and dispassionate characters will readily distinguish for themselves, and separate those measures which are suggested by party, or the patrons and tools of party, from measures merely private and personal in themselves, and which are commenced by one individual against another for the pure purposes of undisturbed justice.
Upon these considerations, principally, I am now emboldened to trespass on the public patience, and must solicit the indulgence of my friends and customers while I represent to their notice, an account of the steps lately exercised with me; from which it will appear, that my situation as a printer, and the rights of the press and of freemen, are fundamentally struck at; and an earnest endeavor is on the carpet to involve me in difficulties to please the malicious dispositions of old and permanent enemies.
On Thursday evening last, the sheriff's bailiff waited on me with a Capias in caute, at the suit of ANDREW BROWN, conductor of a young ladies academy in Third-street, upon which £1000 bail was demanded for my appearance at the next supreme court the second day of July. This action, it is asserted, is brought to try "the truth or fallacy" of certain charges contained in publications in my paper, which Mr. Brown has applied to himself, and is pleased to deem libellous and defamatory.
It is very true, that in the discussion of the momentous question, relative to the adoption of the federal government, many pieces have appeared in all the papers on the continent, and in the course of these publications some of the pieces, as is usual in political squabbles, and in times of high political ferment, have not been altogether purged from a proportion of invective and abuse. Mr. Brown having made himself conspicuous in those squabbles, naturally provoked the indignation of some writers in my paper. He could not preserve his temper and
moderation in the conflict, and desirous of avenging himself of me, as the printer, he applies to Mr. Lewis, last April, to sue me, unless I would consent to surrender the authors of the pieces which he complained. Mr. Brown then managed a paper himself, and a federal paper too—pretty demand! from one printer upon another to dishonour himself, and betray the secrets of the press.
I beg leave to lay before you Mr. Lewis's letter to me.
21st April, 1788.
SIR,
MR. BROWN wishes that the public should be ascertained of the truth or fallacy of the several charges which have appeared against him in your paper, & knowing of no mode by which this can take place in so satisfactory a manner as by a trial at law between him and the author or printer; he has applied to me to bring an action for this purpose. I give you this information, in order that you may, if you think proper, give up the author or authors of the said charges, or of any of them. If this is not done, it must be determined in a legal manner, whether there is, or is not, any difference between the liberty and licentiousness of the press.
I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, W. LEWIS.
Mr. Oswald.
On the receipt of this letter, I requested my friend, Col. Proctor, to wait on Mr. Lewis with the following answer:
Wednesday Morning, 23rd April, 1788.
SIR,
I DID not receive your note of the 21st till last evening, respecting Mr. Brown's application to you. But before I can decidedly give you an answer, I could with the several charges to which you allude, should be particularised to me. I shall then have no objection to comply with your expectations in such mode as shall be deemed most advisable.
I am, Sir, Your humble servant, E. OSWALD.
Mr. Lewis.
My wishes were granted by Mr. Lewis, April 24th, 1788.
SIR,
THE publications alluded to in my letter of the 21st instant, are contained in your paper of the 27th of December, 1786, under the signature of "Fact or Blunt;" in that of the 26th of January last, under the signature of "Peep;" in that of the 31st of January last, under the signature of "A Foe to scribbling Dunces and pseudo Patriots;" in that of the 14th of March last, under the signature of "No Tiffany;" together with the Note next following the last mentioned publication; & in that of the 22nd of March last, the signature of Obediah Forceps."
I am, Sir, Your humble servant, WM. LEWIS.
Col. Oswald.
I then made this conclusive reply. Saturday, April 26, 1788.
SIR,
I HAVE reviewed the publications mentioned in your letter to me of the 24th inst. and I do not think myself bound to satisfy your wishes in resigning up the names of the author or authors of those pieces. As a Printer, I have a better regard for the freedom of the press: however, I have no objection to publish in my paper whatever Mr. Brown may offer in his own acquittal; and I dare to say, "the truth or fallacy of the several charges" which he has taken to himself in this line, can be discussed with more propriety than in a legal procedure. But you, Sir, are now at liberty to advise him, and take such measures as you please.
I am, Sir, Your humble servant, E. OSWALD.
Mr. Lewis.
Mr. Lewis afterwards addressed Colonel Proctor with his determination.
May 1st, 1788.
DEAR SIR,
I THINK I gave you reason to expect that I would inform you of Mr. Brown's determination with respect to Colonel Oswald, before any other steps should be taken, and I now inform you, that his determination is to commence an action without loss of time.
Your most obedient humble servant, WM. LEWIS.
Colonel Proctor.
But until the news arrived last Thursday, that the ninth state had acceded to the new federal government, I was not called upon; and Mr. Page visited me in the afternoon of that day in due form of law with a writ. Had Mr. Brown pursued me in this line, "without loss of time," agreeably to his lawyer's letter, I should not have supposed it extraordinary. But to arrest me the moment the federal intelligence came to hand, indicated that the commencement of this suit was not so much the child of his own fancy, as it has been probably dictated to and urged on him by others, whose sentiments upon the new constitution have not in every respect coincided with mine. In fact, it was my idea, in the first progress of the business, that Mr. Brown was merely the hand-maid of some of my enemies among the federalists; and in this class I must rank his great patron,
Dr. Rush, whose brother is a judge of the supreme court. I think Mr. Brown's conduct has since confirmed the idea beyond a doubt.
Enemies I have had in the legal profession, and it may perhaps add to the hopes of malignity, that this action is instituted in the supreme court of Pennsylvania. However, if former prejudices should be found to operate against me on the bench, it is with a jury of my country, properly elected and empanelled, a jury of freemen and independent citizens, I must rest the suit. I have escaped the jaws of persecution through this channel on certain memorable occasions, and I hope I shall never be a sufferer, let the blast of faction blow with all its furies!
Whatever rivetted prejudice and ill nature have alleged respecting my sentiments in federal topics, I totally disregard. Conscious of my uprightness and impartiality as a printer, I feel contented in my mind. Living likewise under a free and happy government, and entitled to the full privileges of every other citizen, I have an equal, nay, an indubitable right, to think and speak, and write if I chuse, on public occurrences. Nor does any thing affect me more deeply, than that I fear the liberty of the press is invaded and endangered in consequence of the suit which is instituted against me.
Was every printer to be brought before the highest court of original jurisdiction in the commonwealth, and under bail of 1000l. for pieces which he printed on public affairs, what man would write for the press, or what citizen would venture to tell and warn his fellow-citizens of any approaching danger to their rights or liberties, when he reduces the printer to this predicament, either to suffer himself or disclose the author? Besides, upon the ground that I am held responsible for being the printer, every person in the business I follow, here and in other places, is equally accountable for libelling. Where would these actions terminate?
The doctrine of libels being a doctrine incompatible with law and liberty, and at once destructive of the privileges of a free country in the communication of our thoughts, has not hitherto gained any footing in Pennsylvania: and the vile measures formerly taken to lay me by the heels on this subject, only brought down obloquy on the conductors themselves. I may well suppose the same love of liberty yet pervades my fellow-citizens, and that they will not allow the freedom of the press to be violated upon any refined pretence, which oppressive ingenuity or courtly study can invent.
Viewing the prosecution commenced against me with these sentiments, I shall cheerfully resign its fate to the regular course of justice. Upon trial of the cause, the public will decide for themselves, whether Mr. Brown's motives have been laudable and dignified; whether his conduct in declining an acquittal of his character in the paper, and suing me, in the manner he did, was decent and consistent; and in a word, whether he is not actuated by some of my inveterate foes and opponents, to lend his name in their service for the purposes of harraffing and injuring me.
ELEAZER OSWALD.
Foreign Intelligence.
[By the arrival of Capt. Boudinot, from London to this port, Captain Gilson, from London to Halifax, and Capt. Cunningham, from Londonderry to Philadelphia, the following very interesting articles were received; by which, if the statements be genuine, serious consequences have and are about to result, in consequence of the late attempts to reduce the rigours of the government of France.]
LONDON, May 16.
THE Comte de Perigord, is one of the first families in France, and who commanded at Thoulouse, has been expelled the city on endeavoring to force the king's commands, and the gates of the town are kept shut upon him. Two regiments quartered there under his command are likewise drawn from the garrison, as the Commandant did not chuse to expose them, knowing that so small a force would be totally insufficient. He has written to the court desiring a reinforcement of 10,000 men without which, it was his opinion that nothing could be effected.
In Brittany—a great part of the province is in actual rebellion. The Commander at Rennes has ordered the regiment of Soubise to march, but the troops refused and laid down their arms. He has likewise dispatched two couriers to Versailles, fearing, from the state of the province that one might miscarry, desiring an immediate supply of troops.
On the 12th and 13th instant a large body of troops, both horse and foot, with a prodigious number of general and other officers, were met marching in great haste from Paris towards Burdeaux. The road was covered with carriages of every description, and appeared a scene of much confusion.
The king's order of the 8th was to be put in force there the 15th instant and it is imagined they will be resisted in the same manner as at Thoulouse.
In Paris—the people are more quiet, but it is only because of the large body of troops in its vicinity. They have been dispersed with much circumspection in every quarter of the town for fear of any tumult.
At Versailles—where the king is, the palace is surrounded by a double sentry of guards and some additional regiments are posted in the neighborhood.
Besides the resolution of the Parliament of Paris of the 9th inst. not to accept of any seat in the Court Pleniére, the Grande Chambre of Parliament, and several Peers, have refused giving their assistance at it; and they have declared further, that no power shall oblige them to it, as the existence of the Court is a violation of their privileges.
His Majesty was to declare his further intention last Thursday.
The attempt of this revolution, and the circumstances attending it, which we already know of, make it not altogether dissimilar to what happened in America at the beginning of the troubles there. We thought the terror of the British arms would make every thing subservient to them, and bear down all resistance. So is it with the French Monarch, whose will, in later periods, has always been a law.
By the assistance which the French afforded in America, and the consequent freedom of that country, imbibed a spirit of liberty into their minds and habits of opinion, which all the influence and prepossession of their government have not been able to eradicate. The present resistance to their King will be a future warning to monarchical governments in what manner they afford assistance in making people free, at the same time, that the very spirit of their government is to keep their own subjects in a state of bondage.
May 27.
Authentic advices from France, received yesterday, state, that the opposition to the king's orders advances so rapidly, and has already assumed so formidable a shape, as to give the most rational hope of his being able to rescue the country from the doom with which it was menaced.
At Bourdeaux the orders were opposed without any public clamour. The protest was entered with great firmness; and the assembly are so unanimously fixed in their opposition, as to give confidence to the province that they will act as they ought.
In Bretagne a measure of exemplary spirit has been almost unanimously taken. The Noblesse have made a solemn resolution, that any person of that province who shall accept of any office in the Court Pleniére, as devised by the king, shall be forever infamous, and incapable of holding any office, or enjoying any privilege of rank to which he might otherwise be entitled in that great province.
At Besançon an incident happened, which touched the sensibility of the citizens, and confirmed the resolution more than the most tumultuous uproar could have done. Mr. le Comte de St. Vaux, the commandant, went to the assembly who were met to oppose the registry of the edict, while the house was surrounded by an indignant people. He went to this scene without guards, without assistance of any kind, and having ordered the king's arrest to be read, he burst into tears, and left the assembly.
Every province of France, and every court concur in the opposition. Even the Châtelet protested against the orders, and the edict was enregistered by force.
The consequence of this begins to manifest itself. We have good authority for saying, that a negotiation is actually begun between the court and the leaders of the opposition, to give to France, what it always claimed, but never truly enjoyed, an independent representation in the Cour Pleniére. The outline of the plan has transpired, and its aspect is good, though undoubtedly like all other compacts, where the strength of the parties is not equal, it is defective in reciprocity. According to this scheme, the house of representatives would consist of about 200, and would be composed of the following bodies.
 The princes of the blood royal, } Of eight.  The dukes and peers, }  Le ministre principal in virtue of office.  —des pairs étrangers, ditto.  —de la maison du roi, ditto.  —de la guerre, ditto.  —de la marine, ditto.  Contrôleur général, ditto.  Garde des sceaux, ditto.  Grand chamberlain, ditto.  —Ecuyer, ditto.  —Maître de la maison du roi, ditto.  The 18 archbishops to choose four of their body to represent them.  The 128 bishops to choose ten.  The marechals to choose four.  The knights de St. Esprit to choose eight. 
The provincial assemblies each two members.
The provincial parliaments each two.
The conseillers d'état d'épée, in all two.
—de robe, two.
Maîtres des requêtes, four.
The Parisian ordinance on the administration of public justice, pronounced by M. le Gardes des Sceaux, consisted of sixty-one articles.
At Dijon a protest has been entered against all the late proceedings of the French King.
On the 9th instant, for the first time, the court Pleniére was held by his Majesty at Paris.
The parliament that was banished to Libourne, have protested very vehemently against the French King's proceedings.
The letters addressed to the French King, by the different peers of France, mention his late proceedings, "as a total subversion of the established constitution!"
A letter from Rouen in France says, that the members of the parliament are made pri-

loners in their own houses, a sentinel being placed at each of their doors. No person is allowed to go in without being first examined, and suspicious persons are searched.
The two great commercial houses, whose stoppage has occasioned so much distress in the capital and elsewhere, have after a laborious application to the state of their respective concerns settled matters in the following manner; one of them offers 15s. in the pound at stated periods, which it is thought the creditors will not hesitate to accept, rather than take out a statute of bankruptcy; to the other, the creditors have agreed to grant a letter of licence for two years, it appearing upon minute investigation that there is a considerable surplus in their favour.
Saturday arrived the mail from Holland by which we learn, that Duke Louis of Brunswick died suddenly on the 12th of this month, at his palace at Eylenbach, in the 70th year of his age; and that the disturbances still continue at Bretagne, to such a degree, that the Bishop of Rennes arrived himself in the night of the 8th, express at Versailles, to communicate the news to his most Christian Majesty. The good Bishop had travelled with such expedition, that he had performed the journey from Rennes on horseback, in thirty hours.
New-York, July 31.
THE subscribers to the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c. and the public, are respectfully informed, that the publication of this paper DAILY ceased on the 26th inst. and that the publication of THURSDAY's paper will be continued as usual. This paper will be delivered to all the subscribers, both weekly and daily, whose support is still requested. Those gentlemen who have already expressed a desire to withdraw their subscriptions, at this juncture of the printer's sufferings and distress, will please to indulge themselves one more reflection on the subject; if, notwithstanding, they continue of the same mind, it is desired they would call, or send, and discharge their respective arrearages to an even quarter, agreeably to the spirit of the subscription paper.
The reasons of the discontinuation of the DAILY REGISTER he conceives best not to mention; and wishes, if there existed a possibility, consistent with the feelings of an injured individual, even to bury it in oblivion—but, gentlemen—judge ye.
A reflection—that there was a period in which the Editor gave general satisfaction as publisher of a paper once a week, is flattering, and affords a degree of hope, that gentlemen who feel (of what sentiment soever) at this crisis of his affairs, would rather commence than withdraw a subscription.
The present moment, as it respects politics, the honorable the convention having ratified the federal constitution, is rendered entirely different from the past week—and it was to be hoped, that every individual would have joined his hand to harrow the ground in which are sown the seeds of a government, which, it is devoutly to be wished, may eventually prove a happy one.
The same mode will be pursued in compiling this paper as before the introduction of the Daily Register; so that all the interesting intelligence of the week will be contained in it, either in full, or by compendium, as the quantity may be. Should this day's paper not meet the general idea of comparative goodness, it is hoped that it will be attributed to the irritable situation of the printer.
ELEVENTH PILLAR!!!
On Saturday evening about 9 o'clock arrived the joyful tidings of the adoption of the New Constitution, at Poughkeepsie, on Friday, July 25, Yeas 30, Nays 25, Majority 5.—The bells in the city were immediately set a ringing, and from the Fort and the Federal Ship Hamilton, were fired several salutes. The merchants at the Coffee-House testified their joy by repeated huzzas; and a large body of citizens, headed by a number of the first characters, went to the houses of the members of the Convention, and gave three cheers, as a testimony of their approbation of the glorious event brought about by their united, unremitted, and toilsome exertions.—In short, a general joy ran through the whole city, and several of those who were of different sentiments drank freely of the Federal Bowl, and declared that they were now perfectly reconciled to the New Constitution.
On Monday last, in the afternoon, arrived here, from Poughkeepsie, the Honorable the Members of Convention for this city and county. In the evening the citizens, testified their perfect approbation of their conduct, and their joy on the adoption of the New Constitution by this state, by the discharge of eleven guns at the dwelling house of each member, attended with repeated huzzas from a large concourse of people.
We have the pleasure to inform the public, that on Monday Congress proceeded to fill up the blank for the place of holding the sessions of that Honorable Body, when the words "New-York," were inserted.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman in Poughkeepsie, dated Friday, July 25, 1788.
On Wednesday the Convention finished the consideration of the amendments, and took up the proposition of adopting the Constitution with three conditions annexed. Mr. Jones moved to insert the words "in full confidence," instead of the words "upon condition." Then Melancthon Smith arose and declared his determination to vote against a condition. He urged that however it might otherwise be presumed, he was consistent in his principles and conduct. He was as thoroughly convinced as he ever had been, that the constitution was radically defective; amendments to it had always been the object of his pursuit, and until Virginia came in, he had reason to believe they might have been obtained previous to the operation of the government. He was now satisfied they could not, and it was equally the dictate of reason and of duty to quit his first ground, and advance so far as that they might be received into the union. He should hereafter pursue his important and fa-
vorite object of amendments with equal zeal as before, but in a practicable way which was only in the mode prescribed by the Constitution. On the first suggestion of the plan then under consideration, he thought it might have answered the purpose; but from the reasonings of gentlemen in opposition to it, and whose opinions alone would deservedly have vast weight in the national councils as well as from the sentiments of persons abroad, he was now persuaded the proposition would not be received, however doubtful it might appear considered merely as an abstract and speculative question. The thing must now be abandoned as fallacious, for if persisted in, it would certainly prove in the event, only a dreadful deception to those who were serious for joining the union. He then placed in a striking and affecting light, the situation of this state in case we should not be received by Congress—convulsions in the southern part, factions and discord in the rest. The strength of his own party, who were seriously anxious for amending the government, would be dissipated, their union lost, their object probably defeated, and they would, to use the simple figurative language of scripture, be dispersed like sheep on a mountain. He therefore concluded, that it was no more than a proper discharge of his public duty, as well as the most advisable way of obtaining the great end of his opposition, to vote against any proposition which would not be received as a ratification of the Constitution.
"He was followed by G. Livingston, who spoke something to the same effect. Judge Platt rose, and only observed, that what he should do would be the dictate of his conscience, and that he should always obey firmly the determination of his judgement."
"In reply to this the president observed, that whatever his opinion might be, he stood there as a representative of the county of Ulster; that he should therefore pursue what he believed to be the sense of the people of that county, and vote for the conditional adoption."
"The question was then taken, and carried by a majority of two, against a conditional adoption. There was 60 members present, besides the chairman."
"I will give you the yeas and nays, though I believe not in the order in which they are entered on the journal."
"For Mr. Jones's amendment, for striking out the condition to the adoption. Nine members from New-York; two members from King's County; two members from Richmond; six members from Westchester; four members from Queens; Messrs. Havens, J. Smith, Scudder, from Suffolk; Messrs. Platt, M. Smith, G. Livingston, De Witt, from Dutchess; Mr. Williams, Washington. Total 31."
"Against Mr. Jones's amendment, &c. Six members from Ulster; four members from Orange; three members from Cumberland; six members from Montgomery; Messrs. Swartwout, and Akin, from Dutchess; Messrs. R. Yates, J. Lansing, jun. Ten Eyck, Thomson, from Albany; Messrs. Hopkins, Parker, Baker, from Washington; Mr. Tredwell Suffolk. Total 29."
"I have been rather particular in stating the business of Wednesday to you, because I think it is of a decisive nature; and I was so well pleased with Smith's speech, that I have given you the substance of it with fidelity, and as nearly as I could in his own language."
"Yesterday Lansing moved to annex Smith's last proposition to the ratification, or the one which proposes to adopt with a reservation of a right to withdraw; then Mr. Jay, and after him Mr. Hamilton, rose and declared, that the reservation could answer no good purpose in itself; that it implied a distrust of the other states; that it would awaken their pride and other passions unfriendly to the object of amendments; but what was decisive against it, it was inconsistent with the constitution, and was not ratification. Mr. Hamilton produced and read part of a letter from a gentleman of high public distinction, containing in explicit terms his opinion, that the reservation would amount to a conditional ratification and would not be received by Congress. Mr. Duane and the chancellor both declared their opinion to the same effect, and they all concurred in expressing an anxious wish, that, since the house had succeeded so far to an accommodation, they might now conclude the business with harmony, and to the satisfaction of both parties. Mr. Smith remained silent all the day; the question was postponed until to day."
"The question was brought on this morning. Mr. Smith made a short speech, declaring his object in originally bringing forward the proposition. He hoped it would unite both sides, but as he found it would not, and that there was no alternative between adopting and rejecting the Constitution, he should vote against the proposition. It was carried against it by a majority of three. Thank God we have now got the Constitution; I congratulate you. I will give you the yeas and nays and you may rely on the accuracy of it."
"YEAS. Six members from Ulster; three members from Columbia; six members from Montgomery; Messrs. Welsner, Wood, and Harring, from Orange; Swartwout, from Dutchess; Messrs. Yates, Lansing, Ten Eyck, and Thomson, from Albany; Mr. Carman from Queens; Mr. Tredwell, from Suffolk; Messrs. Williams Baker, and Parker, Washington. Total 28."
"NAYS. Nineteen old federalists; Messrs. Havens, J. Smith, and Scudder, from Suffolk; Messrs. Jones, Schenck, and Lawrence, Queens; Messrs. Platt, M. Smith, G. Livingston, and Akin, from Dutchess; Mr. Woodhull, from Orange; Mr. Hopkins, Washington. Total 31."
Extract of another letter from the same gentleman wrote Friday afternoon, shortly after he had closed the foregoing.
"The Committee just this moment rose and reported; the president in the chair; the question called, and the house agreed to the report by a majority of five, 30 for it, 25 against it. There were several members out of doors, but they were all for us. Let us mingle an ejaculation to Heaven for our success. All they have to do is to engross the ratification."
"We were unable to obtain a copy of the ratification of the constitution by this state, for this day's paper, but shall present a copy of this important instrument to the public in our next."
On Tuesday arrived from Poughkeepsie, his excellency governor Clinton, Melancthon Smith, John Smith, Jonathan N. Havens, Nathaniel Lawrence, and John Schenck, Esquires, president and members of the late honourable convention.
The intelligence from Europe since our last Thursday's paper, has been exceedingly interesting, received by the vessels enumerated in the introduction to the foreign head of this paper. In addition to the paragraphs under that head, accounts state—That his Most Christian Majesty seems determined to persevere in his measures, and to be more violent should he meet with opposition; that the province of Brittany had protested his proceeding; that French and Swiss guards are placed, in additional numbers, round all the public offices in Paris; that a petition, has been presented from a large body of the most dignified ecclesiastics, expressive of their fears respecting the public national faith, which was received very graciously.—That the Chevalier Eme was ordered not to oppose the passage of the Turkish squadron; that the war had already cost the Russians 55 millions florins exclusive, who have lost in different skirmishes 3,000 killed, and 10,000 by sickness, many running over to the Turks, who are there promoted to commissions.—That the commotions in the Austrian Netherlands have not yet subsided; that the Emperor, at Constantinople, has determined not to molest the Polish troops, but make another attempt to enter the kingdom.
A letter, of June 20, published in a late Philadelphia paper, gives alarming accounts from Frankland state. It purports, that there are two warm parties: one in favor of the late separation from North-Carolina, headed by Governor Suvere; and the other struggling to be reinstated under the old laws, headed by Col. Tipton. In consequence of a late dispute the two parties became enraged: Tipton was attacked by the governor's party, who afterwards, being reinforced, beat them back; and several lives were lost. Thus are the old laws again established.
The Creek and Cherokee Indians are troublesome to the settlers; and it is still suspected, that the real cause of disturbances have not yet been investigated: It is said the settlers are frequently to blame.

A gentleman of information from North-Carolina, informs, that he left that state since its convention as in session—and that he had such information from several gentlemen belonging to the convention, as warranted him to assert, that a few days would give us the pleasing information of that state's having ADOPTED the CONSTITUTION.
