Thomas Burling,
CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the sign of the CHAIR, near the Chapel, in Beckman-street, formerly Chapel-street, ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Warehouse of Mahogany and other Furniture, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues.
He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city, and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers.
Bed-Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. 89

Mutual Assurance Company.
For insuring HOUSES from LOSS by FIRE in New-York.
WHEREAS the insuring of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, has been found of great and public utility wherever it has been practiced; and although societies, have been instituted in different places, yet none have hitherto been formed in this city for that laudable and beneficent purpose.
A number of respectable citizens, as well for their own mutual security as for the common security and advantage of their neighbours and fellow-citizens, with the view of promoting the insurance of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, upon the most equal terms, and without any views of private or separate gain or interest, have established a company by the name of
The Mutual Assurance Company, For Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire in New-York.
The utility of an institution in its purpose so laudable, cannot fail to attract the notice of every citizen being of so great importance to the security of property and the happiness of families, that it is presumed that no person of prudence will be found to neglect it.
The office is now opened at No. 57, King-street, where such persons as incline to insure their houses and other buildings, may, on application, receive every necessary information. JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. June 15, 1787. 8

PARTY SPIRIT.
TRUTH is every where; but do you wish to find it? Separate it from the spirit of party which so often obscures it.
Truth is plain, and does not depend on authority. It removes the style of disputation, and is a stranger to passion and haughtiness.
Community of opinions will always be a sign of mediocrity of mind; they become a strange mixture when formed into an assembly; the most foolish replace their insufficiency with a fanatic tone; they think themselves invincible because they are united.
The Encyclopedical sect, the Oeconomic sect, the Academic sect, by forming an offensive and defensive league have given cause for the attack, and have invited men of sense to ridicule such strange pretensions in the present age.
Is it not more useful, when a man feels himself capable, to walk in the hills according to his own fancy, and not to be bound to follow those wandering banners, displayed only to rally weak minds;
If one wishes to be just to every body, and not to be guilty of gross errors, one must not adopt party spirit.
FOREIGN ADVICES.
L O N D O N, July 13. AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS.
THE spirit of discord seems to have diffused itself equally here, as among the United Provinces of Holland—the riot which took place at Antwerp on the 15th instant, has been only mentioned in general terms;—it may not be disagreeable to our readers to have a more succinct statement of this transaction.
Among the number of petitions addressed to the Governors General of Brussels, that for the dismissal of Count Belgiojoso, the Minister Plenipotentiary, appears to have been that which was of the most concern to the people.
Notwithstanding these rejoicings on account of the suspension of the new laws, the people soon afterwards discovered, that the officers designed, as intendants for the circles, were actually holding a secret council in a convent.
Amidst these discords, nothing has given so much uneasiness to the Court of Vienna, and offended people of good sense, as the proceedings of the university of Louvain, where they seem to take advantage of the troubles, in order to shake off the useful reforms to which those of Vienna, Pavia, Prague, Bude, &c. submitted with the greatest satisfaction, and with the applause of every class of citizens.
verify of Louvain could find members audacious enough to charge themselves with the odious deputation of carrying to the States, complaints against their sovereign and against his regulations, which are said to have no other tendency than instruction of these sciences which are useful, and the removal of opinions dictated by a dangerous fanaticism.
The university of Louxembourg seems treading in the steps of Louvain; the pretence for this new excels is the elementary books put into the hands of theological students.
Letters from the Hague and Amsterdam say, that a considerable sum has lately been made on the public and private banks in Holland, and that several capital houses have stopped payment.
The number of land forces in the United Provinces has been much over-rated. In time of peace they cannot be estimated at more than 50,000 men, 25,000 of which serve in garrisons.
Lord George Gordon was seen at Harwich, on Monday last, where he arrived late at night at the Three Cups inn; and as his mode of travelling there was the pedestrian, and he appeared rather shabby in his dress, much fatigued and covered with dust, the landlord scrupled to let him have a bed—till he intimated that he should want a post-chaise in the morning.
Thus ingloriously did Lord George terminate his career in this country—for it is probable he will never return to it, unless he should be invited by an act of grace.
Couriers between the Courts of London and Versailles, in consequence of the troubles in Holland, are almost incessantly passing and repassing.
Extract of a letter from Peterburgh, May 16. "A plan, which has been laid before the Empress and ministry of Russia for rendering the Boristhenes more securely navigable, has been at length approved of, and orders have been given for putting it into immediate effect."
We hear from Paris, that for some time past a printed paper has been industriously circulated, entitled, 'Reasons why France should assist the Republic of Holland against the encroachments of the Stadholder.'
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, via Spain, May 25.
'A new scene is on the point of opening in Africa, no less than a war among the Barbary States, who have quarrelled with each other, and are on the eve of commencing hostilities very seriously.'
The King's Speech, or rather the Minister's, was short and sweet—he prevented its proving too Injurious by squeezing in a Dutch Civil Orange.
On the 6th June, the three per cent. consols. were at 77 3/4. On the 15th they were down at 70.
There are now three fleets on the eve of going to sea—one from Portsmouth, one from Brest, and one from Cadiz.

AUGUSTA, (Georgia) Aug. 11. IN COUNCIL August 8, 1787.
Ordered, That the talk received from the Pat King, and the answer thereto, be published in the State Gazette. Extract from the Minutes.
JAMES MERIWETHER, S. E. C. In a meeting of the Lower Creeks, held in the Cuffitahs, 27th July, 1787.
Talk of the Pat King to his Honor Governor Matthews and the Council, &c.
Friends and Brothers, The talk you sent to us in answer to ours by your Commissary Mr. Barnard, we have seen this day: And as that talk is not deemed satisfactory by our people, we have agreed upon to fend you this one more.
Friends, 'Tis not we that have forgot the talks of Shoulder Bone, but you. Among other things it was proposed by you, and agreed to by us, that no hasty revenges should be taken in future by either side, and in the late affair 'tis you that have been rash, for when the injury was done to you, you did not wait but for a little while and look around you, to find out from whence the blow came, but directly fell upon our people, your real friends, who were daily among your houses, and whose persons you well knew, and some that were taken declared themselves and town to you, which you disregarded; it might have been from people of another nation for what you knew at the time.
Friends, You ought not to think of making us accountable for any measures of the Upper Towns, our brothers, they had two men killed last summer, and they can answer for themselves; and they went against you unknown to M c Gillivray or us, and he did not mean to break the promise he had made to Mr. White, as he had declared to the whole nation, and a talk from him is still expected by us.
Friends, You must give us immediate and ample satisfaction—life for life—an equal number for 12 of our people destroyed by you. The leader of those mad people that did the mischief, and so many of his people shall fall for satisfaction (it is our custom so to give it.) Then the tears of the relations of the dead will be dried up, and our hearts not continue hot against you. For it is in vain that you call us friends and brothers, and don't consider and treat us as such; and as you with the chain of friendship to be kept bright between us, we expect that you will not fail to give us the desired satisfaction, as we should have given to you, had we been in the fault. When you do this, you will then send a gentleman into our land to renew friendship, as we have often gone into yours for such purposes.
By Alexander M c Gillivray. In twenty days from the day that Mr. Galphin sets out, we shall expect the return of Mr. Galphin. To the Pat King, and other head men of the Lower Creek Nation.
WHEN we received your talk by Mr. Barnard, our commissary, we considered you as friends and brothers. In the one you now send us, there appears to be much reason to suspect you of deceit, and that you were then, as well as now, secretly our enemies. Whether this change has been owing to the duplicity your beloved man, Mr. M c Gillivray, or whether you assume this conduct it matters not. On what principle can you demand satisfaction? Your warriors were killed for the murder of our innocent inhabitants, committed by your nation in direct violation of the most solemn treaties entered into with us. We wished, and still do with you we could forget the many and repeated injuries you have done us, during and since the late war with Great-Britain. It is in vain to talk of satisfaction. Did you not last summer kill six of our peaceable frontier inhabitants? And did you not at Shoulder-Bone engage to have an equal number of your men put to death for them? have you done this? No. Did you not, just before we received your last talk, murder two of our people on Oconee? And did you not also, at the time Mr. Barnard was down from you, kill two white men? Have you complied with a single article of the treaties of Augusta, Galphinton or Shoulder-Bone? No. Instead of complying with your several engagements, you have repeatedly murdered our innocent people, burned their houses, and carried off their property. All these outrages we have submitted to, rather than enter into a war with you. Your conduct towards us would long since have authorised our putting flames to your towns, and indiscriminately killing your people; but a wish to be at peace with you, and to spare the effusion of human blood have prevented this. Now, open your ears wide, and hear what we tell you: Should any acts of hostilities or depredations be committed on our people by your nation, be perfectly assured we will not hesitate to do ourselves ample justice by carrying war into your country, burning your towns, and staining your land with blood. You will then be compelled to fly for refuge to some other country. It now rests with you whether we engage in war or not; if we do, remember yourselves are answerable for the consequences. The hatchet once lifted is not to be easily buried.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.
Yesterday 43 members of the General Assembly met at the State-House, but not being a quorum, they adjourned till this evening at half past three o'clock, when there is every reason to expect the House will be able to proceed to business, as only three members are wanting.
We learn from Wioming, that a dangerous combination of villains, composed of runaway debtors, criminals, adherents of Shays, &c. is now actually forming on the river Susquehannah. Tioga-Point seems to be their general rendezvous. They extend some distance down, as well as up the river, including also Tioga-Branch. They carry every thing with a high hand in open defiance of all government, except their own: last week they were to try a man for his life, who refused to comply with their injunctions; but the issue is not yet known. Their avowed design is to institute a new State.
Last week died at Chester on her way to Baltimore, Miss Sarah Tuke, a young lady of promising talents in the American company of comedians.
New-York, September 11.
By His EXCELLENCY GEORGE CLINTON, Esquire, Governor of the State of New-York, General and Commander in Chief of all the Militia, and Admiral of the Navy of the same.
PROCLAMATION.
L.S. WHEREAS discoveries have been lately made, of FIRE being put in the night-time, by some evil minded persons, to combustible articles in different parts of this city, with evident intention that the same should communicate to, and set on fire, the adjacent houses and buildings; and the Magistrates of the said city have suggested, that the interposition of government may tend to facilitate a discovery of the persons concerned in the aforesaid wicked acts, and have expressed their willingness to give a reward of One Thousand Dollars, upon discovery and conviction of the said incendiaries.
I HAVE therefore issued this my Proclamation, hereby offering the said reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, to any person or persons who shall discover, apprehend, and prosecute to conviction, the perpetrator or perpetrators of the aforesaid wicked and diabolical acts, or either of them; and if the discovery and apprehension of the principal shall be made by any person having been accessory to the said crimes, I do, in that case, hereby promise a full and free PARDON to such accessory, upon the conviction of the principal. And all Officers, Magistrates, and Ministers of Justice, and others, are hereby required to be vigilant, and to use their utmost endeavors to discover and bring the offenders aforesaid to justice.
Given under my hand, and the privy seal, at the city of New-York, this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord, 1787, and of the independence of the said State, the twelfth.
GEORGE CLINTON.
The Committee appointed by the citizens of the East Ward to carry into effect the regulations adopted by them at the Coffee-House, on Friday the 7th inst. have made choice of the following houses for the purpose of accommodating the watch in each of the districts in said ward, viz.
For the Western district, Mr. Thomas Ming's. Middle district, Mrs. Scott's. Eastern district, Mrs. Funk's.
The citizens of the several districts will be summoned in rotation; and it is expected that those inhabitants, whose health will not permit them to attend, will send, in their place, a person eligible for the purpose; and that they punctually attend, at the respective places, at 10 o'clock. Report to be made to Alderman Hazard.
We are informed, that similar regulations have been adopted by the inhabitants of the other wards in this city.
Accounts from Georgia, describe the strongest appearances of an approaching war with the Indians, particularly with the Creek nation. A proclamation was issued by the Governor on the 9th ult. calling the General Assembly together on the 20th Sept. in order to take the defence of the state into serious consideration. At a meeting of the Lower Creeks, held in the Cuffitahs, on the 27th of July, the Pat King delivered a very peremptory talk, in which he reproaches the Georgians with violation of the treaties between them, and a hasty resentment of injuries, which had not indeed proceeded from the Creeks. He then demands immediate & ample satisfaction—life for life—as the only means of preventing hostilities. To this talk the government have retorted the charge respecting the breach of treaties, reproached the Creeks with repeated murders, and finally denounced the severest vengeance of the State against the whole union, should any depredations be committed upon its citizens. The hatchet once lifted, is not easily to be buried.
A town we hear, has been lately laid out on the banks of the Potowmack, about 22 miles above George Town, upon a dry, airy and level spot. It is to be called NEWPORT. This, in all probability, will be a most excellent situation for mercantile and mechanical business, and will command a great part of the trade of the western country. Wharves are now building and warehouses erecting, as it is one of the safest and best harbours on the river. The lots are sold at 5l. each, and a ground rent of 1 shilling a year.
Some days since died at Baskenridge, New-Jersey, the Rev. Samuel Kennedy, Pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at that place. This was a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, and has for a great number of years preached the gospel with success; he also followed the practice of physic, and was one of the trustees of Princeton-College. It is but too common to ascribe merit to persons after their decease which they do not deserve: We shall only say that Mr. Kennedy was a truly pious, honest, upright and zealous man; and in him the people have lost an excellent leader, his wife an affectionate husband, his children an indulgent father, and his servants a kind and benevolent master.
On Friday last the 7th instant, was committed to the New Gaol, George Berrion, Isaac Levy, Samuel Heyer, and John Grant, charged on oath with the murder of Robert Ward, one of the City Marshals, acting as water-bailiff, and accompanied by a number of the inhabitants of this city, attempted on Thursday evening to serve a writ on Berrion, who was on board of a boat lying at anchor in the North-river;—Berrion and the three men opposed the bailiff's coming on board, and one of them struck Mr. Ward who was with the Bailiff, so that he dropt in the river and was no more seen. When the Bailiff came on shore, two men were

missing, one by the name of Crome, in coming on board the boat had been taken prisoner and confined in the cabin; with him on board they weighed anchor, and sailed round into the East-river where they landed him, and by his information, they were all soon taken and secured in gaol.
Extract of a letter from South-Carolina, Aug. 10. Three acts of the Legislature have lately been passed to clear out Santee, Calaba, Ashley, Cooper, and Edisto rivers, that will open an inland navigation to the extremities of the State, and a number of hands are now employed in that work; this will be of immense service to the planters, and in a few years will double the exports from Charleston, which since the peace, have amounted to half a million sterling one year with another, and by the appearance of the present crop, will amount to near twice the sum this year.
Great quantities of raw silk have been exported to London, made by a Swiss settlement, at Puerisburg, which brought a high price, and yielded a handsome profit to the cultivators. There have already been discovered in many places large bodies of exceeding good iron ore, of which excellent bar iron may be made; and in many places, lead, tin, and copper ores are found; but not yet worked to much advantage; silver and gold, are to be found in great plenty, by tilling the earth, manufactures, trade, &c.
The public are desired to take notice of Counterfeit Bills , as there has been three persons apprehended, in Poughkeepsie, with about 50 pounds each, chiefly one and three pound bills.
The paper of the counterfeits appear to be thicker and harder than the true bills. The plate part of them are exceedingly well done, and that of the common type, are not so well, as they appear to be old and nearly worn out. In the one pound counterfeit bill the back of the eagle touches the wing, and the top of the E under the arms is wanting, as is the tail of the y in the words payment and treasury: In the word (for) after treasury, the r stands too low. In the three pound bills the L in London, stands below the line; and the periods in £. 3. under the arms, are in range with the bottom of the figure, and in the true ones they are not. They stand higher.

Extract of a letter from Paris to a gentleman in Hartford, dated May 30.
"The Marquis de la Fayette, on the day before the dissolution of the Assembly of Notables, which took place on the 27th of May, having represented the situation of the Protestants in France, brought in a motion which he carried by a great majority to the following purport:"
"That whereas a considerable part of the citizens of France, who do not profess the Roman Catholic religion, are laying as it were in a state of civil death, it is expected that the King desirous to impress every heart with the love of his own religion, and knowing that truth is sufficient of itself, and that error alone can be in need of violent measures, would add to his other virtues, that of a benevolent tolerance; in consequence whereof his Majesty is most earnestly requested to put an end to those laws of proscription against his protestant subjects which are equally contrary to the general interest of religion—to good morals—to population—to national industry—and to every principle of morality and policy."
"Having carried this motion in his Bureau , the Marquis made another motion, for the revision of the civil and particularly the criminal laws, which was also agreed to, and presented by the King's brother, President of that Bureau , to the King, who received the two addresses very graciously."
"It is to be remarked that among those who supported the Marquis's motion in favor of the Protestants, most of whom are Calvinists to the number of about fifteen hundred thousand, the Bishop of Sangres was one of the most liberal."
By accounts received from the passengers arrived in the ship Alexandria , Capt. Roach, at Philadelphia, we are informed, that provisions in Ireland are much dearer than ever was known in that part of the world; one shilling and eight pence, sterling, for ten pounds of oat meal; ten pence, for fourteen pounds of potatoes; and it is thought, from all appearance, that the ensuing crop will be equally, if not more defective. Therefore from every information we can collect, have every reason to think, that emigration from thence to this happy land of liberty, will be very extensive in the ensuing spring. It is not only the high price of provisions, but the exorbitant prices of lands, to which landlords have raised their rents.
Arrived at Boston, Capt. Thomas Newell, and the crew of the ship Active , which failed from Savannah, in Georgia, bound to Europe, on the 7th of August ult. and on the 17th in lat. 40, long. 64, about 100 leagues from Nantucket, foundered in a heavy gale of wind, in the gulf stream. On the ship's going down, the Captain and crew took to their boat, in which they continued 5 days, when, after suffering 18 hours in a hard gale of wind, attended with rain, and in a moment too when destruction appeared to them inevitable, they providentially fell in with a fishing vessel, off the southeast part of George's Bank, which took them on board.
We are informed that the anniversary of the massacre at Fort Griswold, was celebrated on the sixth of September, at the meeting house in Groton.

We are informed that the church of Little Compton, Rhode-Island, have suspended a Deacon from his office and fellowship with them, for tendering the present depreciated paper money at par in discharge of real specie debts.—With great propriety may the words of our blessed Lord to the church of Ephesus be addressed to the church of Little Compton, " Thou canst not bear them that are evil, and thou hast tried them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
