New-York, Feb. 14.
Yesterday evening arrived in this city the Hon. RUFUS KING, Esq. who left Boston last Saturday. By this Gentleman we have received a Boston Paper of Feb. 9th (three days later than the post brought us), which contains the following
Important Intelligence.
BOSTON, Feb. 9.
The GRAND FEDERAL EDIFICE.
With the highest satisfaction we announce to the public, that the Convention of this Commonwealth, on Wednesday at five o'clock, P. M. ASSENTED TO, and on Thursday RATIFIED the CONSTITUTION proposed by the late Federal Convention. On this pleasing event, we beg leave to congratulate the public, and to express our sincere wishes, that the general joy which it has diffused through all ranks of citizens, may be an auspicious omen of the superior advantages which shall result from the establishment of such a Federal Government, as this Constitution provides.
On the motion for ratifying being declared in the affirmative, by a majority of nineteen, the
Hon. Mr. White rose and said, that notwithstanding he had opposed the adoption of the Constitution, upon the idea that it would endanger the liberties of his country, yet, as a majority had been fit to adopt it, he should use his utmost exertions to induce his constituents to live in peace under, and cheerfully submit to it.
He was followed by Mr. Wedgery, who said, that he should return to his constituents, and inform them, that he had opposed the adoption of the Constitution—but that he had been over-ruled, and that it had been carried by a majority of wise and understanding men:—that he should endeavor to sow the seeds of union and peace among the people he represented:—and that he hoped, and believed, that no person would wish for or suggest the measure of a PROTEST; for, said he, we must consider that this body is as full a representation of the people as can be conceived.—After expressing his thanks for the civility which the inhabitants of this town have shown to the Convention, and declaring, as his opinion, that they had not in the least influenced the decision—he concluded by saying, that he should support, as much as in him lay, the Constitution; and that he believed, as this State had adopted it, that not only nine, but the whole thirteen would come into the measure.
Gen. Whitney said, that though he had been opposed to the Constitution, he should support it as much as if he had voted for it.
Mr. Cooley (Amherst) said, that he endeavored to govern himself by the principles of reason—that he was directed to vote against the adoption of the Constitution, and that in so doing, he had not only complied with his directions, but had acted according to the dictates of his own conscience; but that as it was agreed to by a majority, he should endeavor to convince his constituents of the propriety of its adoption.
Dr. Taylor also said, he had uniformly opposed the Constitution, that he found himself fairly beat—and expressed his determination to go home, and endeavor to infuse a spirit of harmony and love among the people.
Other gentlemen expressed their inclination to speak, but it growing late, the Convention adjourned to this morning, ten o'clock.
The Convention met on Thursday, when Major Nason, in a short address, intimated his determination of supporting the Constitution, and exerting himself to influence his constituents to do the same.
Mr. Randal said, he had been uniformly opposed to the Constitution. He had, he said, fought like a good soldier, but, as he was beat, he should sit down contented, hoping the minority may be disappointed in their fears, and that the majority may reap the full fruition of the blessings they anticipate. In the hope that the amendments recommended by his Excellency the President will take place, I shall, says he, go home, and endeavor to satisfy those who have honored me by their choice, that we may all live in peace.
Major Sawin declared, that the Constitution had had a fair trial, and that there had not, to his knowledge, been any undue influence exercised to obtain the vote in its favor—that many doubts which lay in his mind had been removed—and that,
although he was in the minority, he should support the Constitution as cheerfully and heartily as though he had voted on the other side of the question.
The above open, manly and honorable conduct of the gentlemen who composed the minority, was very different from that of the turbulent opposers of the Constitution in Pennsylvania, who, not content with their declamatory and odious protest against its adoption, are now endeavoring to involve their country in all the horrors of a civil war, by exciting tumult and insurrection. To the everlasting honor of Massachusetts will the above be told—as it will convince the world, that her sons know rightly how to prize the great principle of Republicanism—that of submitting to the decision of a majority.
After the gentlemen above-mentioned had expressed their sentiments—on motion of the Hon. Mr. CABOT, the following votes were passed:
VOTED, unanimously, That the thanks of this Convention be given to his Excellency the President, for his generous and patriotic efforts, during a painful illness, to unite the Members of this Body in such a decision upon the subject of their deliberation, as in his opinion was essential to the safety and happiness of the people of the United States; and also, for the patient attention, and perfect impartiality, with which his Excellency has presided while his health permitted him to regulate their Debates.
VOTED, unanimously, That his Honor the Vice-President be requested to accept the united thanks of this Convention, for the uniform candor and impartiality exhibited by his Honor while presiding in the absence of the President.
Votes of thanks to the Rev. Chaplains, and the proprietors of the Meeting-House in Federal-street, were also passed.—After which it was voted to move from the place wherein the Convention were then sitting, to the State-House, in order to declare the Ratification of the Constitution, in form; which took place immediately. It being known that the indisposition of body of his Excellency the President, would prevent him from leading the Convention on foot, a number of respectable citizens appeared at the door of the house, with an elegant carriage, into which, with the violence of ardent affection and honest enthusiasm, they forced his Excellency—and notwithstanding his most earnest solicitations to be permitted to proceed in a different manner—they drew him in it to the State-House—where the Convention, having convened in the Representatives' chamber, voted to attend the Declaration of the Ratification of the Constitution—which was done by the High Sheriff of the county of Suffolk, as follows.
[The form of ratification, and propositions subsequent, were exactly similar to those published in last Monday's paper, to which we refer our readers.]
On the Ratification being thus declared, a very large concourse of spectators testified their satisfaction, by repeated huzzas—and the whole Convention, having been previously invited, partook, with a number of the respectable citizens, at a decent repast, prepared in the Senate Chamber—where, in mutual congratulations, and testimonials of satisfaction, all party ideas were done away; and such a spirit of joy, union and urbanity diffused, as, if continued, must be attended with the most happy consequences through the Commonwealth. The toasts given were truly conciliatory, and were, we believe, drunk with sincerity by every one present—all appeared willing to bury the hatchet of animosity, and to smoke the calumet of union and love.
After this repast, the Convention dissolved. Thus far the proceedings of the Convention. Now for those OF THE PEOPLE.
The citizens of Boston have ever shown themselves advocates for freedom—therefore, when a motion had obtained, one of the greatest objects of which is "to secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity"—they could not resist the strong impulse they must have had, publicly to testify their gratitude for the pleasing event.—Nor have they.—On the decision being declared, the bells in the several public buildings communicated the happy intelligence to every part of the town, by a peal, which continued for several hours—and which has been continued with short intervals ever since.—The discharge of cannon, and other demonstrations of joy, took place on Wednesday and Thursday, but it was left to yesterday to produce an exhibition, to which America has never before witnessed an equal; and which has exceeded any thing of the kind Europe can boast of.
The Committee of Tradesmen met on Thursday, and, by public advertisements, requested the attendance of the mechanics and artisans of every description in town, at Faneuil-Hall, at 9 o'clock yesterday, in order to form and proceed in grand procession therefrom, to testify their approbation of the ratification of the Federal Constitution, by the Convention of this Commonwealth, the 9th inst. and deputed their Chairman to request THEIR BRETHREN, the husbandmen of the adjacent towns to join them; who, though the notice was very short, accordingly appeared in town at 9 o'clock; when the several trades being met, at 11 o'clock, in real GRAND PROCESSION, the whole moved from the Hall, and the following was the

About 4 o'clock, the Procession arrived at the Hall, where refreshment was liberally provided, at which, as many as could find admittance, partook; but though the Hall will hold 1500 men, not above one third of the Procession could get in.—However, we were happy that our country friends were accommodated to their wishes.
We have not time to give a just account of this beautiful parade: We can only say, that the perfect order and urbanity, the dignity and solemnity that marked the procession through the whole day, was such, as had a most interesting effect on the numerous spectators which a scene so august and novel collected together.
At two o'clock, when the Procession passed by the State-House, Capt. Johnson's company of artillery honored them with a salute of 13 guns.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Boston to his Friend in this City, dated Feb. 6th, 1788.
"Dear Sir, "I have the pleasure to inform you, that this afternoon the question, Whether this Convention will assent to and ratify the proposed Constitution, and propose the amendments? (as mentioned in the papers which you have had) was taken. The number of voters was 355. Yeas 187, Nays 168, giving a majority of 19.
"You will perceive, by the motion made the last week, and published in the Gazettes, that no condition is annexed to the ratification: after the vote was declared, the leaders of the minority publicly asserted, that they would quietly submit, and endeavor, by all their abilities and influence, to induce a like sentiment among their constituents, and the people of the Commonwealth, with whom they might meet; and this appears to be the disposition of the minority in general: For this favorable and happy determination, the friends of good government are under the highest obligation to Governor Hancock."
Extract of another letter from Boston, 5 o'clock, 6th Feb. 1788.
"This House has completed the raising of another Pillar in the Federal Fabric. A more fair and impartial discussion and representation was never beheld than in this Convention. The whole number of votes were 355, of which 187 were yeas, and 168 were nays. A majority of 19 in favor of the Constitution.
"The minority behaved well—confessed the candor they had received through the debate—and declared that they should go

home and do all in their power to make peace and happiness through the State. Thus it appears, that SIX STATES have acceded to, and ratified the NEW CONSTITUTION.
About Three o'clock this morning the city was alarmed with the cry of FIRE. A small frame House near the Presbyterian Church, by some accident took fire and burnt a part of the floor in the second story, but by the assistance of the inhabitants it was extinguished without receiving any considerable damage.
Yesterday arrived the brig Dolphin, Folger, in twenty-one days from Port-au-Prince.
Capt. Folger, in lat. 25, spoke the brig Peru, Capt. Paddock, from Port-au-Prince bound for this port, all well.
Capt. Wheeler, of the sloop, from Newhaven for St. Bartholemew's, out five days, was spoke with by the Speedy Packet, all well.
** On account of the interesting intelligence from Boston, we are under the necessity of leaving out the Debates of the Assembly, European intelligence, &c. which were prepared for this day's paper.

WANTED, A NEGROMAN, honest and sober, who understands the business of a Footman, and can be well recommended. Enquire at the Printer, Feb. 9. tf. Mr. CHILDS, IN your paper of yesterday, it appears that Blair M'Clenachan has entered bail to my attachment against his property; the author of the piece mentions me as a pretended creditor; my demand is JUST, and such as will fully appear upon INVESTIGATION, and I am at all times ready for trial, unconnected with party or colleague: Now it may not be amiss to mention, that although the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors, requires proof to be made of only 40l. and upwards being due; my claim is upwards of 800l. specie, and in pursuance of my late attachment, I have brought Blair M'Clenachan from Pennsylvania, so far as has enabled me to institute an action against and hold him to bail here, therefore the suit is still going forward against him; which he could repeatedly have prevented by coming to a fair settlement, being frequently solicited by letter for that purpose, ever since the 30th day of June, 1786. The letters he never answered, but of late returned them unopened. Now I leave the public to decide on the rectitude of my proceedings. It appears they were far from being desirable on my part; but time and circumstances rendered them unavoidable; and as the only method I had of obtaining redress, without being under the necessity of making a journey to Pennsylvania. The pretended Friend and Colleague of Blair M'Clenachan, is William Neilson, who, in mentioning in his piece of the 11th current, the word pretended, has wantonly strayed from the truth, as usual.

By the Honorable JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esquire, one of the (L.S.) Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York. To the Sheriff of the City and County of New-York, Greeting. WHEREAS Archibald Blair, of the city of New-York, merchant, lately, to wit, on the twenty-fifth day of January last past, made oath before me, the said John Sloss Hobart, that Blair M'Clenachan, late of the city of Philadelphia, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but at present residing at or near Germantown, in the said Commonwealth, merchant, was indebted unto him, the said Archibald Blair, in the sum of forty pounds current money of the said State and upwards, and did, at the same time, make proof, to my satisfaction, by the oaths of two witnesses, that the said Blair M'Clenachan did reside out of this state: And whereas I did thereupon, and by virtue of the powers given me by an Act of the Legislature of this State, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed the 4th day of April, 1786, issue my warrant of attachment to you the said Sheriff, and did thereby command you to attach, seize, take and safely keep all the estate, as well real as personal, of the said Blair M'Clenachan, in whatever part of your bailiwick they might be found, with all evidences, books of account, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto: And whereas since the issuing of the attachment aforesaid, and before the appointment of Trustees in the manner in the said act prescribed, the said Blair M'Clenachan hath applied to me and given such security as I have directed and approved of to the said Archibald Blair, at whose instance the said warrant issued, to appear and plead to any suit or action to be brought by the said Archibald Blair, against the said Blair M'Clenachan, in any Court of Law or Equity in this State within six months from the date hereof, and to pay all such sums as may be adjudged or decreed in any such suit or action, whereby the said Blair M'Clenachan hath become entitled to a supersedeas to the warrant of attachment aforesaid.
