New-York, Nov. 7.
Extract of a letter from Nassau, New Providence, dated Sept. 29, 1787.
"On Thursday was determined in the Court of Vice-Admiralty, a cause that has been the principal subject of conversation here for the last fortnight. The parties were, the King against the Brigantine Eliza, Macneal, which arrived here from Georgia on the 9th instant. The case was argued on Monday, when the Counsel for both parties, Mr. Johnston for the Crown, and Mr. Hepburn for the Claimant, displayed much ability and ingenuity. I will not attempt to follow them through the mazes of abstract reasoning and legal disquisition, but content myself with mentioning, that on Thursday Mr. Yonge, the Judge Surrogate, after entering largely into the business, said, that under the circumstances in which the vessel appeared to be, Mr. Drysdale had done his duty as an attentive, vigilant officer in seizing her—that the letter of the law was clearly against her, but that he would decide agreeably to the spirit of it, and therefore acquit her. The Counsel for the Libellants then gave notice that he would appeal."
Died lately, much regretted, at the Sweet Springs, near Winchester, Virginia (where he went for recovery of his health), ARCHIBALD GAMBLE, Esq. of this city, Merchant. During his existence, his conduct was marked with that liberality, which characterizes the enlightened mind; and, in business, his strictness of integrity, and noted punctuality in dealing, reflected honor on the profession, of which he was a worthy member. His many good qualities gained general respect, and attracted the unlimited affection of his friends. News-paper panegyric is not, in every instance, the tribute to virtue; it cannot, therefore, be used to depict his merit: but, tho' he is thus untimely snatched from his connections, he will long live in the hearts of all who were honored by his friendship—whose unfeigned sorrow at his loss is the best testimonial of his worth.

Extract from Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, Page 298, &c.
"There must doubtless be an unhappy influence on the manners of our people produced by the existence of slavery among us. The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it; for man is an imitative animal. This quality is the germ of all education in him. From his cradle to his grave, he is learning to do what he sees others do. If a parent could find no motive either in his philanthropy or his self-love, for restraining the intemperance of passion towards his slave, it should always be a sufficient one, that his child is present. But, generally, it is not sufficient. The parent storms, the child looks on, catches the lineaments of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives a loose to his worst of passions, and thus nursed, educated, and daily exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stamped by it with odious peculiarities. The man must be a prodigy, who can retain his manners and morals undepraved by such circumstances. And with what execrations should the statesman be loaded, who, permitting one half of the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other, transforms those into despots, and these into enemies; destroys the morals of the one part, and the amor patriæ of the other. For, if a slave can have a country in this world, it must be any other in preference to that, in which he is born to live and labor for another: in which he must lock up the faculties of his nature, contribute, as far as depends on his individual endeavors, to the enervament of the human race, or entail his own miserable condition on the endless generations proceeding from him. With the morals of the people, their industry also is destroyed. For in a warm climate, no man will labor for himself who can make another labor for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves a very small proportion indeed are ever seen to labor. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God—that they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest. But it is impossible to be temperate and to pursue this subject through the various considerations of policy, of morals, of history natural and civil. We must be contented to hope they will force their way into every one's mind. I think a change already perceptible since the origin of the present revolution. The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying, the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the consent of the masters.

For the Daily Advertiser.
What is in the name of Alderman that I should fear To bring our grievances to the public ear?
A New administration generally endeavor to distinguish themselves by the éclat of REFORMATION. The new corporation ought to disappoint their proud aristocratical enemies, by some noted reform of old nuisances and evils. The only good law passed by any set of Corporation Legislators, with regard to the improvement of the city, since the peace, is the one which down with the Bible, and the naked Mermaid. The present Corporation would please the sensible part of the community, if they were to prohibit the melancholy toll of the Funeral bell.—There are none but the over-zealous, and some superstitious old maids, who would make any noise about the innovation. The time for this reform is rather unfavorable, as one who lives and smokes by the death of others, has a voice in the Common Council.—I feel, however, some encouragement from the habits which profession generally produces, that some of them will go thorough sitch in the business, and that they will not run over public affairs with a basting thread. If these hints have no effect, I will pursue them with my animadversions, and will take the measure of their minds, and shall freely use the shears of wit, and hope to reduce others to the necessity of taking to their heels.
Nov. 2. REFORMER.
The following SPEECH, delivered in Convention, by the Honorable CHARLES PINCKNEY, Esquire, of Carolina (with a plan of government not much unlike the proposed Federal Constitution) is extracted from a pamphlet just published, and which we hope will not be unacceptable to our readers.
MR. PRESIDENT,
IT is, perhaps, unnecessary to state to the house the reasons which have given rise to this Convention. The critical and embarrassed situation of our public affairs is, no doubt, strongly impressed upon every mind. I well know, it is an undertaking of much delicacy, to examine into the cause of public disorders; but having been for a considerable time concerned in the administration of the Federal System, and an evidence of its weakness, I trust the indulgence of the house will excuse me, while I endeavor to state with conciseness, as well the motives which induced the measure, as what ought, in my opinion, to be the conduct of the Convention.
There is no one, I believe, who doubts there is something particularly alarming in the present conjuncture. There is hardly a man, in, or out of office, who holds any other language. Our government is despised—our laws are robbed of their respected terrors—their inaction is a subject of ridicule—and their exertion, of abhorrence and opposition—rank and office have lost their reverence and effect—our foreign politics are as much deranged as our domestic economy—our friends are slackened in their affection—and our citizens loosened from their obedience. We know neither how to yield or how to enforce—hardly any thing abroad or at home is sound and entire—disconnection and confusion in offices, in state and in parties, prevailing throughout every part of the Union. These are facts, universally admitted and lamented.
This state of things is the more extraordinary, because it immediately follows the close of a war, when we conceived our political happiness was to commence; and because the parties which divided and were opposed to our systems, are known to be, in a great measure, dissolved. No external calamity has visited us—we labor under no taxation that is new or oppressive, nor are we engaged in a war with foreigners, or in disputes with ourselves. To what then, are we to attribute our embarrassments as a Nation? The answer is an obvious one.

To the weakness and impropriety of a government, founded on mistaken principles--incapable of combining the various interests it is intended to unite and support--and destitute of that force and energy, without which no government can exist.
At the time I pronounce in the most decided terms, this opinion of our Confederation, permit me to remark, that considering the circumstances under which it was formed--in the midst of a dangerous and doubtful war, and by men, totally inexperienced in the operations of a system so new and extensive, its defects are easily to be excused. We have only to lament the necessity which obliged us to form it at that time, and with that its completion had been postponed to a period better suited to deliberation. I confess myself in sentiment with those who were of opinion, that we should have avoided it if possible, during the war. That it ought to have been formed by a Convention of the States, expressly delegated for that purpose, and ratified by the authority of the people. This indispensable power it wants; and is, therefore, without the validity a Federal Constitution ought certainly to have had. In most of the States it has nothing more, strictly speaking, than a legislative authority, and might therefore be said, in some measure, to be under the control of the State Legislatures.
Independent of this primary defect, of not having been formed in a manner that would have given it an authority paramount to the constitutions and laws of the several States, and rendered it impossible for them to have interfered with its objects or operations, the first principles are destructive, and contrary to those maxims of government which have been received, and approved for ages.
In a government, where the liberties of the people are to be preserved, and the laws well administered, the executive, legislative and judicial, should never be separate and distinct, and consist of parts, mutually forming a check upon each other. The Confederation seems to have lost sight of this wise distribution of the powers of government, and to have concentrated the whole in a single unoperative body, where none of them can be used with advantage or effect. The inequality of the principle of Representation, where the largest and most inconsiderable States have an equal vote in the affairs of the Union; the want of commercial powers; of a compelling clause to oblige a due and punctual obedience to the Confederation; a provision for the admission of new States; for an alteration of the system, by a less than unanimous vote; of a general guarantee, and in short of numerous other reforms and establishments, convince me, that, upon the present occasion, it would be politic in the Convention to determine that they will consider the subject de novo. That they will pay no farther attention to the Confederation, that to consider it as good materials, and view themselves as at liberty to form and recommend such a plan, as, from their knowledge of the temper of the people, and the resources of the States, will be most likely to render our government firm and united. This appears to me, far more proper than to attempt the repair of a system, not only radically defective in principle, but which, if it was possible to give it operation, would prove absurd and oppressive. You must not hesitate to adopt proper measures, under an apprehension the States may reject them. From your deliberations much is expected; the eyes, as well as hopes of your constituents are turned upon the Convention; let their expectations be gratified. Be assured, that, however unfashionable for the moment your sentiments may be, yet, if your system is accommodated to the situation of the Union, and founded in wise and liberal principles, it will, in time, be consented to. An energetic government is our true policy, and it will at last be discovered, and prevail.
Presuming that the question will be taken up de novo, I do not conceive it necessary to go into a minute detail of the defects of the present Confederation, but request permission to submit, with deference to the House, the draught of a Government which I have formed for the Union. The defects
of the present will appear in the course of the examination I shall give each article that either materially varies or is new. I well know the Science of Government is at once a delicate and difficult one, and none more so than that of Republics. I confess my situation or experience have not been such as to enable me to form the clearest and justest opinions. The sentiments I shall offer, are the result of not so much reflection as I could have wished. The plan will admit of important amendments. I do not mean at once to offer it for the consideration of the House, but have taken the liberty of mentioning it, because it was my duty to do so.
