BOSTON, March 24.
We feel a peculiar pleasure in laying before the public, the following authentic extract of a letter from that great—and good as he is great—man, the American Fabius.—To receive the tribute of applause from him, must make the breaks of the gentlemen in the minority of our Convention, feelingly alive to the most agreeable sensations: and as citizens of Massachusetts, we feel a superior degree of consequence, in knowing his opinion of the importance of the proceedings of this Commonwealth, in the affairs of the Continent.
Extract of a letter from his Excellency Gen. WASHINGTON, to a gentleman in this town, dated Mount Vernon, February 29, 1788.
"The candid and conciliatory behavior of your minority, places them in a more favorable point of view than the debates of the Convention gave room to expect, and sufficiently shews the good effects which were produced by a full and fair discussion of the subject."
"The adoption of the Constitution in Massachusetts, will, I presume, be greatly influential in obtaining a favorable determination upon it in these States where the question is yet to be agitated."
"No person can, at this moment, pretend to say what will be its fate here—But from what I can collect, I have no doubt of its being accepted."
We feel the highest satisfaction in announcing to the public, that in a Revenue Bill which passed the Hon. Legislature on Saturday last, the clauses in the Acts heretofore in force, laying a duty on ADVERTISEMENTS, Writs, Executions, and Deeds, not registered in six months, were repealed. Our satisfaction on the event, arises from seeing the Hon. Legislature, thus attentive to relieve a class of citizens, on whom the laws bore with a disproportionate weight, and from the liberality of the principles which dictated the measure.
A correspondent observes, it must afford the greatest satisfaction possible, to every true friend to our country, to find that the general voice of the people, in and out of town, are in favor for electing those two great Patriots of seventy-five. His Excellency JOHN HANCOCK for Governor, and the Hon. SAMUEL ADAMS Lieut. Governor. These gentlemen, when united in Government, as they are in friendship, will be the men from whom we have NOTHING to fear; for their grand object has ever been the FREEDOM and independence of their fellow citizens: and neither of them ever sought to make a purse out of the people, every one must acknowledge.
NEW-YORK, March 31.
This day is appointed, by Act of Assembly of Rhode-Island, for Town-Meetings to be held in that State on the subject of the proposed Constitution.
We learn that the good people of Delaware have obtained a model of a machine, that weaves cotton cloth by a water wheel, after the manner of the English, and that they are now procuring the carding and spinning machines lately introduced into Philadelphia. As the Southern part of their State will raise cotton, they will have the means of that valuable manufacture within themselves. On Federal principles we rejoice at these advantages of our sister State. It is hoped every State, whose climate, soil and population admit of it, will cultivate that invaluable raw material.
A London paragraph of January 7, says, "Saturday an express arrived at the Admiralty, with an account that the grand works at Cherbourg were totally demolished by a strong south-west wind; which, with a most heavy and tremendous sea, tore up all the cones and other marine preparations, almost from the foundation; and all this, after the expence of near two million of livres, has left the harbor as defenceless as it was in the memorable year of the attack by Lord Howe."
The Prince of Wales's Lodge, at the Thatched House, St. James's-street, London, have obtained their Constitution from the Grand Lodge, and commenced the new year with the unanimity and brotherly love of men embarked in one common cause—"Zeal for the Prince, whose name they bear, and love for the craft." The members of this society are composed of Masons, who are honored with appointments under his Royal Highness, and are distinguished from other Masons, by wearing always a gold medal, as an emblem of their attachment to, and dependence on him.
The medal has a plume of feathers on one side, surrounded with the Garter, enamelled; and on the reverse—"Ich Dien."
Colonel Hulse is the first Master; the Hon. Colonel Stanhope, and Colonel Lake, Wardens; and the Rev. William Peters, Secretary.
The Emperor of Germany has published an edict at Brussels, which he means should operate through all his Belgic Provinces,
but as it has not passed the Council of Brabant, it will not be allowed the force of law. This edict prohibits, under the severest penalty, nothing less than imprisonment in the Maison de Force for eight years, and a fine of 1000 ecus, all libels, satires, and defamatory writings, either in print or manuscript. The authors, printers, copyists, and amanuenses, are all involved; and what must strike most discordant music to an American ear, even those who have been or heard a libel, or any satirical writing, are menaced with the same punishment, if they do not reveal it to the Government. It also requires, that whoever has any such libels, or satirical writings in their possession, should deliver them up, or be fined and imprisoned. By this Imperial edict, even common conversation is in a manner prohibited, and the mind chained down, or at least the tongue, to the slavish condition of saying only Yes, or No.
Extraordinary Account of Richard Carroll, commonly called Blind Dick.—It is something remarkable, that the parents of this unfortunate person were transported during his infancy; by which means he was put into St. Luke's workhouse. His playing upon a fife at that place attracted the notice of one of the overseers so far, that he procured an able master to teach him the violin; but not liking confinement, he soon eloped from his patron, and subsisted by playing in Moorfields and at public houses. His first adventure as a marauder was as singular as any other trait of his character; as he actually, in concert with a lame man, robbed the workhouse where he had been brought up, of several beds, &c. that had been put out to air in the yard. He soon afterwards ran a race with another person that had lost his sight, named Blind Job, which he won by a considerable distance. A habit of betting and gaming had so far initiated him into a course of dissipation, that at length he could resist no opportunity of pilfering to enable him to attend the skittle-grounds, at which he was such an adept, that he could tell, by the sound of the pins, how many had fallen, &c. He once, after fiddling with a bunter's garland, decamped with the box. He also kept company with a blind girl, till, by the quickness of his ear, he discovered a rival in the room by hearing him breathe. He was afterwards a cicebeo to a lady of easy virtue near St. Catharine's, till he was detected in packing up the household furniture for a removal. In February, 1782, he was detected in cutting the velvet out of a loom belonging to a weaver near Moorfields, for which he was capitally convicted, but received his Majesty's clemency on condition of being imprisoned three years in Newgate. Near the expiration of this period, in consequence of some wanton provocation, he stabbed one of the prisoners in the belly, for which he was again imprisoned two years. It is also singular, that he procured an affluent subsistence in Newgate, by taking pledges of wearing apparel, &c. of which he was a competent judge by mere feeling, and was frequently employed by the prisoners in better circumstances to play Macpherson's and other flash tunes, of which he was a tolerable performer.

Prospects on the Rubicon:
OR, An Investigation into the Causes and Consequences of the Politics, to be agitated at the Meeting of Parliament.
LONDON: Printed for J. DEBRETT, Piccadilly, 1787. [Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.] [Continued from our Paper of Thursday last.]
BUT the object of all trade is profit, and profit shews itself, not by an encrease of paper currency, for that may be nationally had without the trouble of trade, but by an encrease of real money: therefore the estimation should have ended, not in the comparative quantity of shipping and tonnage, but in the comparative quantity of gold and silver.
Had the quantity of gold and silver encreased in England, the ministerial writers would not have stooped short at shipping and
tonnage; but if they know any thing of the matter, they must know that it does not encrease, and that the deception is occasioned by the encrease of paper instead of money, and that as paper continues to encrease, gold and silver will diminish. Poorer in wealth and richer in delusion.
Something is radically wrong, and time will discover it to be putting paper in the room of money.
Out of one hundred millions sterling of gold and silver, which must have been imported into Europe from South-America, since the commencement of the peace before last, it does not appear that England has derived or retains any portion of it.
Mr. Neckar states the annual encrease of gold and silver in France, that is, the proportion which France draws, of the annual importation into Europe, to be upwards of one million sterling: but England, in the space of twenty years, does not appear to have encreased in any thing but paper currency.
Credulity is wealth while credulity lasts, and credit is, in a thousand instances, the child of credulity. It requires no more faith to believe paper to be money, than to believe a man could go into a quart bottle; and the nation whose credulity can be imposed upon by bottle conjuring, can, for a time, be imposed upon by paper conjuring.
From these matters we pass on to make some observations on the national debt, which is another species of paper currency.
In short to whatever point the eye is directed, whether to the money, the paper, the manufactures, the taxes, or the debt, the inability of supporting a war is evident, unless it is intended to carry it on by fleecing the skin over people's ears by taxes; and therefore the endangering the nation in a war for the sake of the Stadtholder of Holland, or the King of Prussia, or any other foreign affairs, from which England can derive no possible advantage, is an absurd and ruinous system of politics.
France perhaps is not in a better situation, and, therefore, a war where both must lose, and wherein they could only act the part of seconds, must historically have been denominated a boyish, foolish, unnecessary quarrel.
But before we enter on the subject of the national debt, it will be proper to take a general review of the different manner of carrying on war since the revolution to what was the practice before.
Before the revolution the intervals of peace and war always found means to pay off the expence, and leave the nation clear of incumbrance at the commencement of any succeeding war; and even for some years after the revolution this practice was continued.
From the year 1688, (the era of the revolution) to the year 1702, a period of fourteen years, the sums borrowed by government at different times, amounted to forty-four millions; yet this sum was paid off almost as fast as it was borrowed; thirty-four millions being paid off, at the commencement of the year 1702. This was a greater exertion than the nation has ever made since, for exertion is not in borrowing but in paying.
From that time wars have been carried on by borrowing and funding the capital on a perpetual interest, instead of paying it off, and thereby continually carrying forward and accumulating the weight and expence of every war in the next. By this means that which was light at first becomes immensely heavy at last. The nation has now on its shoulders the weight of all the wars from the time of Queen Anne. This practice is exactly like that of loading a horse with a feather at a time till you break his back.
The national debt exhibits at this day a striking novelty. It has travelled on in a circular progression till the amount of the annual interest has exactly overtaken, or become equal to, the first capital of the national debt, NINE MILLIONS. Here begins the evidence of the predictions so long foretold by the ablest calculators in the nation. The interest will in succession overtake all the succeeding capitals, and that with the proportioned rapidity with which those capitals accumulated; because by continuing the practice, not only higher and higher premiums must be given for loans, but the money, or rather the paper, will not go so far as it formerly did, and therefore the debt will encrease with a continually encreasing velocity.
The expence of every war, since the national debt began, has, upon an average, been double the expence of the war preceding it: the expence therefore of the next war, will be at least two hundred millions, which will encrease the annual interest to at least seventeen millions, and consequently the taxes in the same proportion; the following war will encrease the interest to thirty-three millions, and a third war will mount up the interest to sixty-five millions. This is not going on in the spirit of prediction, but taking what has already been, as a rule for what will yet be, and therefore
the nation has but a miserable prospect to look at. The weight of accumulating interest is not much felt till after many years have passed over, but when it begins to be heavy, as it does now, the burthen encreases, like that of purchasing a horse with a farthing for the first nail of the shoe, and doubling it.
As to Mr. Pitt's scheme of reducing the national debt by a million a year, applied to the purchase of stock, it will turn out, to say no worse of it, a ridiculous and frivolous project: for, if a Minister has not experience enough to distinguish a feather in the air, and such there always will be, from the God of War, nor the clamors and interest of those who are seeking for jobs and contracts, from the voice and interest of the people, he will soon precipitate the nation into some unnecessary war; and therefore, any scheme of redemption of the debt, founded on the supposed continuance of peace, will, with such conduct, be no more than a balloon.
That the funding system contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction, is as certain, as that of the human body containing within itself the seeds of death. The event is as fixed as fate, unless it cannot be taken as a proof, that because we are not dead we are not to die.

To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and As- sembly convened.
The Petition of the Congregation of the Reformed German Church of the German Flats, of the County of Montgomery, Most Humbly Sheweth,
THAT HANS DEDRICK STALEY, and others, by Indenture, bearing date the 18th day of September, 1765, conveyed to Peter Remsen, late of the City of New- York, merchant, deceased, Lots No. 45, 46, and 47, in a patent granted to Rudolph Staley, and 16 others, situate, lying and being on the south side of the Mohawk Ri- ver, at a place called the German Flats, in the County aforesaid, to have and to hold the said three Lots of Land, unto the said Peter Remsen, his Heirs and Assigns, in trust for the maintenance and support of the officiating Minister of the Gospel for the time being, of the church aforesaid: That the said Hans Dederick Staley, and the rest of the grantees aforesaid, gave the said Conveyance under an impression that the said premises above-mentioned would be for the benefit of the Church aforesaid, and not for the maintenance of the officiating Minister thereof only, which will appear by the Certificate hereunto annexed, signed by the present officiating Minister: That several of the parties to the said Indenture have since died, and some of the Heirs are Mi- nors: That others of the said parties have been attainted for adhering to the enemy, during the late war, and their estates for- feited to the people of this State. Great in- conveniences arise to your Petitioners, the said Church, and the present Minister there- of, from the execution of the said trust by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, by rea- son of the distance they live at from the said land: And that the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen are desirous of being exone- rated from the further execution of the said trust. Thus circumstanced, your Petition- ers are advised that the interposition of the Legislature is necessary to prevent all future inconveniences arising from the execution of the trust aforesaid, by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, to insure the advantages which the Grantees of the said trust intend- ed the Church aforesaid should derive from it.
YOUR Petitioners therefore pray, That the Honorable the Legislature will be pleased to pass an Act, to direct an as- signment of the said trust to or vest the said land in the Trustees and their Suc- cessors, for the sole benefit and be- hoof of their said Church, or to grant unto your Petitioners such other relief, in the Premises, as to the Honorable the Legislature shall seem meet. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
