AN ADDRESS
Of the Subscribers, Members of the late House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to their Constituents.
GENTLEMEN:
WHEN in consequence of your suffrages at the last election we were chosen to represent you in the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, we accepted of the important trust, with a determination to execute it in the best manner we were able, and we flatter ourselves we have acted in such a manner as to convince you, that your interests with that of the good of the State have been the object of our measures.
During the fall and spring sessions of the Legislature, on the recommendation of the Congress of the United States, your representatives proceeded to the appointment of delegates to attend a Convention to be held in the city of Philadelphia, for the purpose of revising and amending the present articles of confederation, and to report their proceedings to Congress, and when adopted by them, and ratified by the several States, to become binding on them as a part of the confederation of the United States. We lamented at the time, that a majority of our Legislature appointed men to represent this State, who were all citizens of Philadelphia, none of them calculated to represent the landed interest of Pennsylvania, and almost all of them of one political party; men who have been uniformly opposed to that constitution for which you have on every occasion manifested your attachment. We were apprehensive, at the time, of the ill consequences of so partial a representation; but all opposition was in vain. When the Convention met, members from twelve States attended, and after deliberating upwards of four months on the subject, agreed on a plan of government which was sent forward by them to Congress, and which was reported to the House by the delegates of Pennsylvania, as mere matter of information, and printed in the newspapers of the city of Philadelphia; but the House had not received it officially from Congress, nor had we the least idea, that as the annual election was so near, we should be called upon to deliberate, much less to act on so momentous a business, a business of the utmost importance to you and your posterity. We conceived it required the most minute examination & mature consideration, and that it ought to be taken up by the next House. Judge then of our surprise on finding the last day but one in the session, a member of the House who had been a delegate in the Convention, without any previous notice or any intimation of his intentions to the House, offer a resolution recommending the calling a Convention to consider of the proposed constitution, and to direct the electing members for the same, at so early a period as the day of your annual election, thus attempting to surprise you into a choice of members—to approve or disapprove of a constitution, which is to entail happiness or misery forever, without giving time to the greatest part of the State even to see, much less to examine the plan of government.
Our duty to ourselves and our regard for your dearest interests induced us to oppose the measure by every possible argument that we could suggest at that time; but all our efforts were insufficient, even to produce a postponement until the afternoon. We urged and urged in vain the constant practice of the House when any important business was to be brought on, of giving previous notice and making it the order of the day sometime before hand; that no bill, however trifling, was passed without three readings, and without this formality which gave the members time and opportunity to think on the subject; and the rules were adhered to strictly that even the building of a bridge, or the laying out a road, could not be determined on without this form, but this the most important of all matters was to be done by surprise, and, as we conceived with design, to preclude you from having it in your power to deliberate on the subject. Our anxiety for your interests was great, but notwithstanding the firmest and most determined opposition, no respite could be obtained, and the first resolution was adopted by a majority of the House, when they adjourned till the afternoon to complete the business. In these circumstances we had no alternative; we were under a necessity of either returning to the House, and by our presence enabling them to call a Convention before our constituents could have the means of information, or time to deliberate on the subject, or by absenting ourselves from the House to prevent the measure taking place.
We conceived that at the time we were chosen, you had no view to this business, and we could see no inconvenience nor loss of time from deferring a matter of such importance, and which would in its consequences affect, or perhaps annihilate our own constitution, as well as that of every constitution in the union, to a House chosen after the people had some knowledge of the plan, especially as the next House will meet at so early a period, and a Convention could be called by them time enough to meet in a few months, which would be as early as any State in the union, and would be allowing you time to make up your minds on a matter which appeared to us to require so much deliberation. Thus circumstanced and thus influenced, we determined the next morning, again to absent ourselves from the House, when James M c Calmont, Esq. a member from Franklin, and Jacob Miley, Esq. a member from Dauphin, were seized by a number of citizens of Philadelphia, who had collected together for that purpose; their lodgings were violently broken open, their clothes torn, and after much abuse and insult, they were forcibly dragged through the streets of Philadelphia to the State-House, and there detained by force, and in the presence of the majority, who had, the day before, voted for the first of the proposed resolutions, treated with the most insulting language, while the House so formed proceeded to finish their resolution, which they mean to offer to you as the doings of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. On this outrageous proceeding we make no comment. The inhabitants of Franklin and Dauphin have been grossly insulted by the treatment of their members. We know the feelings of the people of these counties are sufficiently keen; it becomes us, not to add to them by dwelling longer on the subject; but as our conduct may, and we have no doubt, will be misrepresented, we thought it our duty to lay before our constituents, to whom alone we are accountable, a real state
of facts; that they may judge for themselves. We need not tell you, that we could have no interested motive to influence our conduct. A sense of that duty which we owed to you and to ourselves, could have alone induced us to submit to the variety of abuse and insults which many of us have experienced, for not consenting to a measure that might probably have surprised you into a surrender of your dearest rights. Our conduct has at least had the good effect to lengthen out the time of election, and induced them to postpone the election for members of the Convention until the first Tuesday in November next; whereas the resolution first proposed, directed it to be held for all the counties east of Bedford, on the day of the annual election, nine days from the time of proposing the measure.
We cannot conclude without requesting you to turn your serious attention to the government now offered to your consideration; "We are persuaded that a free and candid discussion of any subject tends greatly to the improvement of knowledge, and that a matter in which the public are so deeply interested cannot be too well understood. A good constitution and government is a blessing from Heaven, and the right of posterity and mankind; suffer then, we intreat you, no interested motives, sinister view, or improper influence, to direct your determinations or bias your judgments."—Provide yourselves with the new constitution offered to you by the Convention, look it over with attention that you may be enabled to think for yourselves. We confess when the Legislature appointed delegates to attend the Convention, our ideas extended no farther than a revision or amendment of the present confederation, nor were our delegates, by the acts of Assembly appointing them, authorised to do more, as will appear by referring to the said act, the second section of which describes their powers in the following words, viz.
"2. Be it enacted, and it is hereby enacted by the representatives of the freemen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and by the authority of the same, Thomas Mifflin, Robert Morris, George Clymer, Jared Ingersoll, Thomas Fitzsimons, James Wilson and Governor Morris, Esqrs. are hereby appointed deputies from this State, to meet in the Convention of the deputies of the respective States of North America, to be held at the city of Philadelphia, on the second day of the month of May next. And the said Thomas Mifflin, Robert Morris, George Clymer, Jared Ingersoll, Thomas Fitzsimons, James Wilson and Governor Morris, Esquires, or any four of them, are hereby constituted and appointed deputies from this State, with powers to meet such deputies as may be appointed and authorised by the other states to assemble in the said Convention at the city aforesaid, and to join with them in devising, deliberating on, and discussing all such alterations and further provisions as may be necessary to render the Federal Constitution fully adequate to the exigencies of the union; and in reporting such act or acts for that purpose, to the United States in Congress assembled, as when agreed to by them, and duly confirmed by the several States, will effectually provide for the same."
You will therefore perceive that they had no authority whatever from the Legislature, to annihilate the present confederation and form a constitution entirely new, and in doing which, they have acted as mere individuals, not as the official deputies of this Commonwealth. If however, after mature deliberation, you are of opinion, that the plan of government which they have offered for your consideration is best calculated to promote your political happiness and preserve those invaluable privileges you at present enjoy, you will no doubt choose men to represent you in Convention who will adopt it; if you think otherwise, you will, with your usual firmness, determine accordingly.
You have a right and we have no doubt you will consider, whether or not you are in a situation to support the expence of such a government as is now offered to you, as well as the expence of your state government? Or, whether a Legislature, consisting of three branches, neither of them chosen annually, and that the Senate, the most powerful, the members of, which are for six years, are likely to lessen your burthens or encrease your taxes? Or whether in case your state government should be annihilated, which will probably be the case, or d v ind e into a mere corporation, the continental government will be competent to attend to your local concerns? You can also best determine whether the power of levying and imposing internal taxes at pleasure, will be of real use to you or not? Or whether a continental Collector, assisted by a few faithful soldiers, will be more eligible than your present Collectors of taxes? You will also in your deliberations on this important business judge, whether the liberty of the press may be considered as a blessing or a curse in a free government, and whether a declaration for the preservation of it is necessary? Or, whether in a plan of government, any declaration of rights should be prefixed or inserted? You will be able likewise to determine, whether in a free government there ought or ought not to be any provision against a standing army in time of peace? Or, whether the trial by jury in civil causes is become dangerous and ought to be abolished? And whether the judiciary of the United States is not so constructed as to absorb and destroy the judiciaries of the several States? You will also be able to judge, whether such inconveniencies have been experienced by the present mode of trial between citizen and citizen, of different States, as to render a continental Court necessary for that purpose? Or whether there can be any real use in the appellate jurisdiction with respect to fact as well as law? We shall not dwell longer on the subject; one thing however, it is proper you should be informed of; the Convention were not unanimous with respect to men, though they were to States; several of those who have signed did not fully approve of the plan of government, and three of the members, viz. Governor Randolph and Col. George Mason of Virginia, and Eldredge Gerry, Esq. of Massachusetts, whose characters are very respectable, had such strong objections as to refuse signing.—The Confederation no doubt is defective, and requires amendment and revision, and had the Convention extended their plan to the enabling the United States to regulate commerce, equalize the impost, collect it throughout the United States, and have the entire jurisdiction over maritime affairs, leaving the exercise of internal taxation to the separate States, we apprehend there would have been no objection to the plan of government.
The matter will be before you, and you will be able to judge for yourselves.—"Shew that you see not yourselves, but the good of your country, an
may he who alone has dominion over the passions and understandings of men, enlighten and direct you aright, that posterity may bless God for the wisdom of their ancestors."

William White, D. D. Bishop of the State of Pennsylvania."—Pray who are the Clergymen whose widows and children are the object of this charity? No doubt Episcopal Clergymen, as the Sermon was preached in St. Paul's Church, and by Dr. White, the Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania. Why then was not this said? The terms Clergy and Clergymen are by long and established usage appropriated to Ministers of the Gospel, as distinguished, by their office, from the body of the people. Hence the phrase Clergy and Laity , signifies the whole of the community. All ranks of citizens however otherwise distinguished, belong to one or other of these classes. To use the term Clergymen therefore, as descriptive of the ministry of any particular church, as distinguished from the whole body of Gospel Ministers of other Protestant Churches, as it is in the case before us, is invidious, arrogant and offensive. The idea suggested by this appropriated use of the term is, that there are no other Clergymen, that is, no other regular Gospel Ministers than those of the Episcopal Church; and that the ministry of all other Protestant Churches are no more than layman.
What confirms the justice of the remark respecting the invidious use of the term Clergymen , in the paragraph before us is, that Dr. White is filled in almost the next words, "The Bishop of the State of Pennsylvania,"—as if there was no other Bishop in that State but the good Doctor. Does not the author of this account know there are many Bishops in Pennsylvania besides him? that he is only the Episcopal Bishop of the State? Does he not know that every Minister of the Gospel regularly set apart to his office, is a Bishop in the Scripture sense of the term?—This subject has been too fully investigated, and the truth too clearly established, to be seriously denied in this enlightened age.
I cannot suppose any of the Episcopal Clergy the author of this illiberal publication—they are too well informed. Their friends, however, are warned to take care how they assume to themselves or their clergy, a title or titles, that implicitly reflect upon the validity of the ministry of other Protestant Churches, and the ordinances administered by them. This might have done before the revolution, when some high-flyers among them ridiculously claimed a superior rank to their church, as being a branch of the established church of England; but it will not do in these days of equal liberty, when they are but one of the many branches of the Protestant Church in these States, all on a perfect equality. If they prudently content themselves with their rank among their Sister Churches, they will be respected, and deservedly; but no claims to superiority can or will be admitted. Humility is the way to honor.
They should be more cautious upon this head, as no public notice was taken at the time of the vote of the convention of their clergy and laity, that gave the title of Right Reverend to their Bishops;—this disgusted the sensible and discreet of their own communion, as favouring highly of vanity. They considered it as such an aping of the dignitaries of the established church of South-Britain, as was beneath the dignity of so enlightened a body. At the same time it was viewed by the judicious of other denominations as such an affectation, such a claim of superiority in a certain order of their clergy, above not only the other Ministers of their own denomination, but above the clergy of other churches, as suggested the necessity of their being upon their guard against a new forming order in the States. It was indeed a trifle; but trifles often strongly mark the characters of men, and sometimes more strongly than matters of moment.

FOREIGN ADVICES.
ALGIER S, June 18.
The situation of this country is very disagreeable. A number of Christian Powers propose to revenge the frequent outrages committed on their ships, and menace the Regency with a war which may prove very fatal, as in all appearance they will find no support from the other nations, as their corsairs have for some time past attacked and plundered every vessel they met of every nation. The plague continues its ravages, which in fact encrease, as they use neither preservative to prevent the disease, nor remedy when they are first attacked with it. Two thirds of the ships of the last armament which failed, have perished, and the rest have been obliged to come again into port, for want of hands to work the ships and fight. One of our corsairs which had taken a ship belonging to Portugal, and conducted her into Tangiers, has been forced by the Emperor of Morocco to restore her, and remain in port 24 hours after the prize failed from it. The Dey was very much displeased with this news, but he has discretion enough to keep his complaints to himself, lest he should bring 60,000 Moors upon him, who are ready to descend from the mountains at the first order of the Emperor of Morocco.
UTRECHT, July 25.
Means have been found to disperse in the camp, small printed bills, containing the promise made by the State of Holland, to give six ducates to every soldier who shall return to the colours of their noble and great Mightinesses.
L O N D O N, August 10.
In consequence of some ambiguous proceedings in the Court of France, we sent over about a month ago a memorial, demanding an explanation on se-
veral heads. The answer to this memorial only arrived about the middle of last week, and was couched in terms both unsatisfactory and contemptuous; in consequence of which Mr. Pitt, who had hitherto been much averse to war, entered entirely into the opposite councils, and a system at once both bold, vigorous and decisive was adopted. To support the Stadtholder, cost what it might, was the first resolve; and a second memorial, notifying this resolution, in very high spirited language, was committed to the care of Mr. Eden, who set out on Saturday night; at the same time, Mr. Grenville was despatched to the Stadtholder, to inform him of this decision in our cabinet, and another messenger to Berlin, with similar dispatches to his Prussian Majesty.
The epistolary correspondence of the Princess of Orange, is in the perfection of that kind of writing—she is unquestionably of a great mind, full of enterprize and resource; her alacrity and cheerfulness have rather encreased with the present emergencies.
A report was pretty current in town on Wednesday, that one of the frigates belonging to the Admiralty at Amsterdam, had seized in Zuyder Zee, a sloop of sixteen guns, carrying the Orange flag, and carried her into Amsterdam, where the officers are put into the common prison, and the crew sent on board one of the guard ships.
The report of a sloop being seized in the Zuyder Zee, is pretty well confirmed, with this addition, that the Admiralties of Holland and Friesland have ordered their men of war to seize all vessels that they may find in future with such distinguishing marks of being in the Stadtholder's interest.
A letter from the Hague, of July 27, says, 'there are now commotions at Amsterdam. One of the frigates belonging to that Admiralty, has brought in a sloop having the Orange flag, whose whole crew are sent to prison, and they talk of punishing the officers, as pirates, with death. This has made a fresh ferment, and the friends of the Orangites again erect their fallen crests.'
Letters from the Bay of Honduras, dated the 4th of June, mention, that several ships were to sail from that place in about a fortnight, all full laden, for London, with mahogany, which had been cut on an improved plan, by several artificers that had settled there from America.
UNITED STATES.
B O S T O N, Oct. 4.
By a gentleman who arrived from Great-Barrington, we are informed, that on the 27th ult. the troops lately raised for the protection of government, were discharged from service, in pursuance of an order from the Commander in Chief.—Those orders were communicated to the soldiery, in a short, elegant, and pathetic address, by Col. Lyman, the Commander of the troops. After which, a feu-de-joy was paid by the infantry, and a federal salute of 12 cannon from the artillery.—The troops then receiving provision to carry them to their respective homes, began their march. The regularity and good order of the troops, after their discharge, reflected on them the highest honor.
Our informant observes, that the demon of faction and discord seems totally to have subsided; and that the late discords seem to appear exceedingly anxious for, and are making great exertions, to discharge not only the present, but the back taxes, especially in the county of Berkshire.
That all classes seemed to await with the greatest impatience the event of the Federal Convention, looking up to it as to the fountain from which those streams of political felicity are to flow, the which shall make them happy.
In fine, our informant observes, as far as his knowledge extends, the seeds of sedition seem totally in those counties to be eradicated, and loyalty and good order to have taken root in their stead.
Sunday failed from this port the ship Columbia, and sloop Washington, commanded by Captain J. Kendrick, and Captain R. Gray, on an enterprising voyage to Kamtschatka, on the western part of this continent. The object of this voyage is to open an intercourse between these States and the natives of that distant country, by trading with them for furs, of which commodity, it is said, that country abounds. The greatest commercial advantages are expected to be derived from this intercourse.
On Monday last, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of this Commonwealth, commanded by Major-General BROOKS, made their second autumnal appearance, agreeable to charter—the company marched from State-street at 12 o'clock, for Medford—at Charlestown they were received by the Medford Independent Light-Infantry, under the command of Captain HALL,—who escorted them to the place of destination. The artillery there performed the requisite firings and evolutions—after which they dined at Blanchard's tavern, and returned to this town at 3 o'clock in the evening.—Among the extemporaneous toasts drank on this occasion, were the following;—1st. General WASHINGTON, and the Federal Convention. 2d. The Constitution for the United States, reported by that Honorable body. 3d. As OLD MASSACHUSETTS took the LEAD in the late glorious revolution, may she be the first to give a sanction to the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION of government. 9th. May the man who wantonly opposes the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION, framed by the late Convention, be marked as an enemy to the liberties of America.
PHILADELPHIA, October 6.
A correspondent observes, that altho' the tide seems to run so high at present in favor of the new constitution, there is no doubt but the people will soon change their minds, when they have had time to examine it with coolness and impartiality.
Among the blessings of the new proposed government a correspondent enumerates the following:—1. The Liberty of the Press abolished.—2. A standing army.—3. A Prussian militia.—4. No annual elections.—5. Five-fold taxes.—6. No trial by Jury in civil cases.—7. General search warrants.—8. Excise laws, custom-house officers, tide and land waiters, cellar rats, &c.—9. A free importation of negroes for one and twenty years.—10. Appeals to the supreme continental court, where the rich may drag the poor from the farthermost parts of the continent.—11. Elections for Pennsylvania held at Pittsburgh, or perhaps Wyoming.—12. Poll taxes for our heads, if we choose to wear them.—13. And death if we dare to complain.

New-York, October 12.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
Last week the BAPTIST Churches belonging to the mid-state States, convened in association in this city. After finishing the particular business on which they met as a religious body, it was agreed to incorporate with their general circular letter, the following recommendation to their people of the proposed plan of the Federal Government...
After congratulating their brethren on the great increase of their churches the year past—they proceed, "we also congratulate you on the kind interposition of Divine Providence visible in that happy unanimity which obtained among the members of the late Federal Convention, to agree upon, and report to the States in this union, a form of Federal Government, which promises, on its adoption, to rescue our dear country from that national dishonor, injustice, anarchy, confusion and bloodshed, which have already resulted from the weakness and inefficiency of the present form, and which we have the greatest reason to fear is but the beginning of forrows, unless the people lay hold on this favourable opportunity offered to establish an EFFICIENT government, which, we hope may, under God, secure our invaluable rights, both civil and religious, and which it will be in the power of the great body of the people, if hereafter found necessary, to controul and amend."
The repeated breaches of public faith, says a correspondent, and the variety of laws, which have been passed in different States, countenancing the violation of private engagements, have had an ill influence on our national morals, as on our national character. Honest men must rejoice to see a spirit of honesty running through the NEW CONSTITUTION—Public spirited men must rejoice to see a prospect of our national reputation being rescued from opprobrium and disgrace; and all good men, not blinded by party spirit, must rejoice to see an effort to erect barriers against the establishment of iniquity by law. The Convention have at least given a distinguished proof of their attachment to the principles of probity and rectitude.
The ship Favorite, Captain Cowpar, arrived at Portsmouth on the 8th of August. General Haldimand is to be the successor to General Elliott, now Lord Heathfield, and the new Governor of Gibraltar. General O'Hara will be the Lieutenant-Governor in the room of General Boyd, who does not return to that fortress, having received the King's permission to retire.
We are informed from the best authority, that the Viceroy of Santa-Fe has lately given a new proof of his humanity, in regard to the native Indians on the coast of Darien, with whom the Spaniards have been at war for many years past. Every thing was ready to ensure the entire conquest of the coast, and the unconditional submission of its inhabitants, according to the laws of war; when the Viceroy, with that philanthropic spirit, which is so conspicuous in all the actions of this truly great and good man, signified to many of his friends, by whom he was surrounded, that he should be extremely happy, if agreeable to his earnest wishes, he could terminate the quarrel without further bloodshed, notwithstanding the cruelties committed on the part of the Indians since the commencement of hostilities, by murdering without mercy, or any just cause of complaint, one hundred and ten Spanish soldiers, three officers, two women, and a child, who escaped from shipwreck on the coast of Darien in the year 1782, and by burning all the houses at San Geronimo de Buena Vista, and putting the defenceless inhabitants to the sword, without distinction of age or sex. To effect the gracious purposes of peace, the Viceroy gave orders for an Ambassador to proceed to the Head-quarters of the Indians without delay, in order to acquaint them with his humane determination, which was to treat them with every kind of lenity and undissimulated friendship, if they were definitely resolved to live in an amicable manner for the future. The Indians received the Ambassador with every token of respect, and listened to him with great attention; and, after several meetings, they resolved to dispatch their General and Chief Men to confer with the Viceroy upon terms of peace and amity. Some few days after the Indian Missionaries had arrived at Carthagena, the matter was finally settled with the Viceroy, in the presence of his Court, by which the peace of the province of Darien is firmly established, according to the true laws of justice and humanity. This event was celebrated at Carthagena by singing te deum with uncommon solemnity; and was concluded by many other public rejoicings.
We are further informed, that the Viceroy, from the entrance of those rude people into Carthagena, until the day of their leaving it, exerted himself continually to make them satisfied with their reception; and, at their departure, loaded them with the richest presents.
On Wednesday the 3d inst. ended the Quarterly examination of the students of Columbia College—The different classes performed their respective duties in a manner which afforded the greatest satisfaction to the spectators, at the same time that it reflected the highest honor on themselves. The premiums were determined in the following manner, viz. in the senior class, to Mr. James Cochran; in the junior, to Mr. Matthew Mester; in the sophomore, to Mr. John Graham; and in the freshman, to Mr. Jones. The whole was concluded by a number of orations, spoken by different students, before a crowded and respectable audience. The premium of eloquence was adjudged to Mr. John Van Nels, who, particularly distinguished himself by delivering an excellent composition of his own.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, July 8. His Royal Highness the Sultan, for the first time, has this day gone over the whole arsenal here; among others he went on board the San Sophia Augutte, a new ship of 86 guns, building on the stocks. The Happy Preface, of 74 guns, launched lately, is now fitting for sea; a number of French officers are appointed on board by the interest of the Ambassador of that nation.
Albany, October 4. On Saturday last three villains, to wit; Michae Coffie, David Powers and Gerhrom Fuller, were apprehended in Schenectady, for attempting to pass counterfeit Ten Pound Bills. They were examined before Andres Van Patten, Dirk Van Ingen, and Myndert M. Wemple, Esquires, who ordered them to be committed to gaol in this city, to take their trials at our next Supreme
Court. On their way hither, they found means to cut the cords, with which they were bound, and Coffin made his escape. This fellow calls himself a Universalist preacher, and says he belongs at Pearsley, above Ballston, in this county—he is about five feet ten inches high, 33 or 34 years of age, has short hair; had on a light coloured camblet coat, brown overalls and new boots.
"A reward of five dollars will be paid to whoever will deliver said Coffin to the keeper of the common gaol in this city, on application to either of the above Magistrates."
On the 2d inst. was married in Philadelphia, Mr. WILLIAM SHOTWELL, merchant, of this city, to Miss SALLY HOPKINS, daughter of Mr. SAMUEL HOPKINS, merchant, of that city.
Married, on Wednesday evening, Mr. JOHN VAN CORTLANDT, of this city, to Miss KITTY CUYLER, of Albany.

State of New-York, Court of Admiralty, Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Gad Wells, and others, Libellants.
Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize, saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Burke, John Donnan and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M'Connick for Hyem Cohen, and by William Cock for Richard Hall.
WHEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Pergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Eells and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London, in Connecticut, on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 30 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her foremast standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New-York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchandise so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 102, 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked F.

No. 3, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8, and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9, thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked H.C. fifteen other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the newspapers printed in New-York, the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, on behalf of John Shannon, master, and Samuel Nesbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M'Kenzie, mariners, and Richard Hall, owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M'Connick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen, of the Island of Jamaica, hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sale of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq; for and on behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova-Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M'Kenzie and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson, which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said deserted vessel was a stout vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-irons round it, that she had black sides and yellow moulding, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck.—Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public motion and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandise, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of this motion and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787. By order of the Court of Admiralty, JOHN GRAHAM, Marshal. 39

POET'S CORNER.
From the MARYLAND GAZETTE.
The following PROLOGUE, written by a gentleman in Baltimore, was intended to have been spoken at the opening of the THEATRE, but having come to hand too late, it was unavoidably omitted.
PUNCTUAL as lovers to the hour declared, Gamblers to rendezvous all haste prepared; All hearts elate;—all sanguine hopes conceive, T' accomplish which, each would his friend deceive; His friend!—does he that sacred name deserve, Who robs his friend without the least reserve? Sure not; 'tis friendship's better—noblest end T' enrich—not strip the pockets of a friend.
Engag'd at play, their throats no longer roar, Attentive all to win the glittering ore, Except when fortune frowns—the eyes then roll; And then the wretch with curses frisks his tail. Within rude anarchy tumultuous reigns; Hope intervenes,—his breath its peace regains. Like on the billows main when billows lash The strong ribb'd bark, and waves against her dash, Then fear all courage from the breast expels;— Anon!—some part appears which fear dispels.
Hope urges him again his fate t' attempt, Still fortune frowns till all his cash is spent. Now thought intrudes; a dull unpleasing guest; Now keen remorse—and anguish rend his breast. His fame;—his peace of mind—his fortune gone, He's left his fate and folly to bemoan. Perhaps he wanders now a vagrant curs, A foe to all, but to himself the worst. Perhaps an aged parent claims his care; That aged parent heightens his despair. A tender wife; perhaps a child requires, This one an husband's aid; and that the fire's; Hopeless himself, reduc'd, without a friend, To wife nor child can he assistance lend; Like Beverly perhaps, with horror fraught, He drinks, like Beverly, the poison'd draught.
