To be Sold Cheap at private Sale, THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the State of New-Jersey; it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: On the Lot next the river is a Stone DWELLING-HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor, (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn; in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of Meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a Store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary Spring and Well at the Dwelling-House, from which the Meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the Lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious Store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes: the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence. The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business. To be sold in three different Lots, or the whole together, as may best suit the purchaser; if not sold by the first day of April next, then to be rented.

On Sunday last a messenger arrived here from Prince Potemkin, with the news of a victory obtained over the Turks, at an attack which they made upon Kimburn, on the night of the 11th instant, by a detachment of 5000 men, who landed near that fortress from Otschakow; and although the garrison was inferior in number, upwards of 4000 Turks were killed or wounded, and the remainder with difficulty escaped to their boats. The number of slain and wounded on the side of the Russians, did not exceed 400; but several officers lost their lives on this occasion, and Generals Souwarow and Reck, who had the principal command, were dangerously wounded.
L O N D O N.
Nov. 27. This day his Majesty came to the House of Lords, and being seated on the Throne, the Commoners were sent for, who immediately attending, the King opened the Session with the following Speech:
“ My Lords and Gentlemen,
“ At the close of the last session, I informed you of the concern with which I observed the disputes unhappily subsisting in the Republic of the United Provinces.
“ Their situation soon afterwards became more critical and alarming, and the danger which threatened their constitution and independence seemed likely in its consequence to affect the security and interests of my dominions.
“ No endeavors were wanting on my part to contribute by my good offices to the restoration of tranquillity, and the maintenance of the lawful government; and I also thought it necessary to explain my intention of counteracting all forcible interference on the part of France in the internal affairs of the Republic. Under these circumstances the King of Prussia having taken measures to enforce his demand of satisfaction for the insult offered to the Princess of Orange, the party which had usurped the government of Holland applied to the Most Christian King for assistance, who notified to me his intention of granting their request.
“ In conformity to the principles which I had before explained, I did not hesitate, on receiving this notification, to declare, that I could not remain a quiet spectator of the armed interference of France, and I gave immediate orders for augmenting my forces both by sea and land.
“ In the course of these transactions I also thought proper to conclude a treaty with the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel, by which I secured the assistance of a considerable body of troops, in case my service should require it.
“ In the mean time the rapid success of the Prussian troops, under the conduct of the Duke of Brunswick, while it was the means of obtaining the reparation demanded by the King of Prussia, enabled the Provinces to deliver themselves from the oppression under which they labored, and to re-establish their lawful government.
“ All subject of contest being thus removed, an amicable explanation took place between me and the Most Christian King, and Declarations have been exchanged by our respective Ministers, by which we have agreed mutually to disarm, and to place our naval establishments on the same footing as in the beginning of the present year.
“ It gives me the greatest satisfaction that the important events which I have communicated to you, have taken place without disturbing my subjects in the enjoyment of the blessings of peace; and I have great pleasure in acquainting you, that I continue to receive from all foreign powers the fullest assurances of their pacific and friendly disposition towards this country. I must, at the same time, regret that the tranquillity of one part of Europe is unhappily interrupted by the war which has broken out between Russia and the Porte.
“ A Convention has been agreed upon between me and the Most Christian King, explanatory of the thirteenth article of the last treaty of peace, and calculated to prevent jealousies and disputes between our respective subjects in the East-Indies. I have ordered copies of the several treaties to which I have referred, and of the Declara-
tion and Counter Declaration exchanged at Versailles, to be laid before you.
“ Gentlemen of the House of Commons, “ I have ordered the estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you, together with an account of the extraordinary expences which the situation of affairs rendered necessary.
“ I have the fullest reliance in your zeal and public spirit, that you will make due provision for the several branches of the public service. I am always desirous of confining those expences within the narrowest limits which a prudent regard to the public safety will permit; but I must at the same time recommend to your particular attention to consider of the proper means for maintaining my distant possessions in an adequate posture of defence.
“ My Lords and Gentlemen, “ The flourishing state of the commerce and revenues of this country cannot fail to encourage you in the pursuit of such measures as may confirm and improve so favorable a situation.
“ These circumstances must also render you peculiarly anxious for the continuation of public tranquillity, which it is my constant object to preserve.
“ I am at the same time persuaded you will agree with me, in thinking that nothing can more effectually tend to secure so invaluable a blessing, than the zeal and unanimity, which were shewn by all ranks of my subjects on the late occasion, and which manifest their readiness to exert themselves, whenever the honor of my Crown and the interest of my dominions may require it.”
Dec. 1. Paris is in great confusion, and all ranks of people scruple not to say, that a change will take place in the Constitution within a very short time. Indeed the whole kingdom are ripe to promote it; warmed with the sentiments of that liberty they were sent to America to defend, and will support at home, the French Government now experience the just reward due to its treachery to England.
These dispositions, abated only of personal ferocity, but with more personal firmness, pervade and actuate the better people. The Parliament, taken collectively, support their Members, with resentment suited to the provocation. The sense of insult and injury is spreading. And what now only shews itself in the speeches and protests of a single Parliament, is preparing to be encountered much more formidably by every Parliament, by almost every individual in the kingdom. Bourdeaux and Nanci have already declared to this effect.
Dec. 4. An accommodation had been talked of between Russia and the Porte; but we are now sorry to find that no such event is likely to take place. The resentment of the Grand Signior has taken too firm a root, and the implacable hatred which he bears towards the Czarina cannot be appeased by the mediation of the French, who are held in much dislike, and in some suspicion, by the Grand Vizir. This Minister has the absolute control of his master, and at present directs all the operations of that extensive Empire.
Dec. 15. A letter from Paris, dated Dec. 9, says, “ The Parliament of Paris met on Friday, to deliberate on his Majesty's Edicts, for the establishment of Protestants in this kingdom; after sitting till near six o'clock in the evening, the affair was referred to a Committee, who are to make their report on the good or bad effects which may arise from this edict. Some further representations were agreed to be made to the King on the exile of the Duke of Orleans, and the imprisonment of the two Members of Parliament.”
Extract of a letter from Paris, Dec. 10. “ A report is circulated, and gains ground, of a confederacy having been entered into between France, Spain, the Emperor, and Russia, to oblige England to recede from her late treaty with Prussia and Holland. How far such a circumstance is probable, I shall not pretend to determine; but certain it is, that several persons, supposed to be well acquainted with the measures of the Court, have fancioned the idea. One consequence, which, perhaps, was all that was intended from it, has already taken place; the attention of the multitude is diverted from internal politics, and the current of dislike diverted for the moment.”
HOUSE of ASSEMBLY. P O U G H K E E P S I E.
Tuesday, February 5, 1788.
The House met, pursuant to adjournment. A petition from a number of Mohawk Indians, concerning their lands, was read, and referred to Messrs. Benfon, Brooks and Savage.
A petition from William Sely, of Orange County, stating, that he purchased cattle for the army during the war, for which the public have given him in Certificates; and that the people from whom he had purchased the said cattle were now suing him, and demanding payment in money; and praying relief from the Legislature — was read and
referred to Mr. Tompkins, Mr. Bloom, and Mr. Van Ingen.
The Bill to repeal the Insolvent Act, was read a third time, and passed the House.
A Message was received from the Senate, with amendments to the Bill for restraining all persons from marrying, &c. The Bill, as sent to them from the House, prohibited all persons from marrying till their husbands or wives had been seven years absent; the Senate proposed to make it four years. This was non-concurred by the Assembly; and both Houses at length agreed to make it five years.
The House went again into a Committee on the Bill for dividing the State into Counties; Mr. Powers, Chairman.
The Committee, in proceeding in the Bill, took up the petitions from the inhabitants of Washington County, living near Lake Champlain, praying for the erection of a new County in that part of the State; — whereupon it was agreed to erect a new County, by the name of CLINTON; and that the said County should be divided into towns, one by the name of Crown-Point , and the other by the name of Plattsburgh ; that Plattsburgh be the County Town, and that a Court should be opened there in September next; and that, till the further order of the Legislature, there be two terms held in the said County, one in September, and the other in March in each year: the inhabitants of the said County of Clinton to vote for Members of the Legislature as a part of the County of Washington, till the first Census shall be taken.
The Committee having gone thro' the Bill, rose and reported the same; when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
The House then went into a Committee on the Bill for dividing the several Counties of this State into Towns:
Mr. Low, Chairman. The Committee having made some progress in the Bill, rose and reported the same.
A Message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Parks and Mr. Russel, informing that the Senate had passed
The Bill to prevent malicious maiming and wounding;
The Bill to prevent stealing and avoiding records; and
The Bill declaring it to be felony in servants to embezzle their master's goods; — without amendment.
To the Bill for preventing and punishing forgery and counterfeits, they had made some amendments;
The House taking the said amendments into consideration, non-concurred the same. Adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow.
Wednesday, February 6. The House met, pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Jones moved for leave, and brought in a Bill, directing the manner of approving of deeds, and recording conveyances;
A Bill to prevent fraud by mortgages; and for securing the purchases of mortgaged estates; and
A Bill concerning slaves; which were read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
The House went again into a Committee on the Bill, for dividing the counties into towns:
Mr. Low, in the Chair. Having made some further progress in the Bill, the Committee rose and reported the same.
A Message was received from the Hon. Council of Revision by Judge Yates; informing that the Council had no objection to
The Bill to naturalize Robert Edmiston;
The Bill to avoid unnecessary delays of executions;
The Bill for giving further remedy by action of account; and
The Bill to prevent delays of proceedings at the General Sessions of the Peace, and abuses in issuing out writs of Certiorari.
The House went into a Committee on the engrossed Bill from the Senate, concerning oaths:
Mr. Doughty took the Chair. After the Bill was read,
Mr. Benfon rose to move for its rejection: he was opposed to oaths of every description; and particularly that of allegiance. He insisted that allegiance was a term little understood, was indefinite, and on which the ablest writers and civilians could never agree. With respect to himself, he said, he never knew rightly how to define it; a man's allegiance was to the General Sovereign of the land; and since the Confederation, he always thought no man owed allegiance to an individual State, but to the United States in Congress assembled, who were undoubtedly the General Sovereign, for they possessed all the great powers of Sovereignty: abstracted from this, he had always been opposed to oaths of allegiance, because they were so vague that no man who took the oath knew what he swore to. What kind of allegiance, says he, can a man owe to the State of New-York, as distinguished from the United States? In England, in the year 1688, many people refused to take the oath of al-
legiance to King William, because they conceived it was contravening an oath they had taken to King James; and the Parliament were obliged to amend the oath, so as to make a man swear allegiance to the Sovereign, and at the same time leave him to put what interpretation he pleased on it. The oath of abjuration appeared to him altogether unnecessary. By the Constitution no man could be elected into office, unless born within the United States; and no foreigner could be elected into office until he had abjured all foreign Princes. With respect to our own citizens, they owed no allegiance to any foreign Prince; such a thing could not exist; the idea was too remote. He held an office under the State, he said, and he would have no objections to take an oath of fidelity. This was going far enough; but it was cruel to make a man swear to do a thing that he could not do. He was opposed, however, to oaths of every kind, and thought they should only be used in cases of absolute necessity: — Such as in cases of testimony, where they might have effect, tho' not so often as people generally imagined; for by the frequency of them, they have only become a matter of form. He said he doubted if the greater part of the people could repeat a sentence of this oath, six months after they had taken it. Wherever men were found to execute a public office with diligence and integrity, he believed it was not the force of the oath that made them so, for they were equally honest and attentive in all their other actions. On the contrary, when a bad man was put into office, there was little respect shewn to the one or to the other. He said, he had long contemplated this matter in his mind, and spoke from the purest conviction. He believed no man would deny what he had asserted; and he submitted his sentiments to the Committee, with the greatest candor.
Mr. Jones said if this was a new question, it might be worth the attention of the Committee, to go into the full consideration of it; he should not therefore enter into a discussion of it at large. He would only state this business, and what the consequence would be, if the Bill was rejected. Oaths were not new in our Government, for by the Constitution itself oaths of allegiance and abjuration were spoken of; it being required that all persons who are naturalized, shall take them. The very first Legislature that met, formed an act requiring all persons holding offices under the State to take the oath therein prescribed, among which was the oath of allegiance. In the year 1781, they passed a new act, in which the oaths now taken, were to be found. The intention of the present Bill was not to bring in any thing new, it was only to reduce all the oaths into one consistent Law. It was the opinion of many people, that as the oath is now taken, renouncing the King of Great-Britain, it was wrong, and ought to be a general one. But, said he, will rejecting this Bill have the effect the gentleman desires? It will leave the old law in force.
Mr. Benfon took it for granted, that if a majority of the Committee were for rejecting this Bill, they would also be for repealing the other.
Mr. Jones thought the same objections still arose, for though a majority of the Assembly might agree to repeal the old laws, they could not do it without the consent of the other branch of the Legislature, and the Bill now before the House, was an evidence that could not be expected. — Shall we, said he, repeal all these laws, and require not even an oath of office from any man? He thought it ought not to be done. The oaths by this Bill were made less offensive, and less rigorous; to repeal them would be going too far. There never was a time in this State, nor did he know that there was in the British Government, when oaths were not required. He believed the gentleman was mistaken in his ideas with respect to oaths. Why were they required in any case? Would they not have the same objection in one instance as in another? He supposed that they were a restraint on bad men in all ages, and in all countries. If men were to act only by the rectitude of their own minds, the community would soon feel the fatal effects of it. He remarked again, that rejecting this Bill, would not do away the taking of oaths.
The question was then taken on Mr. Benfon's motion, and lost, [Remainder of the Debate on this Bill to-morrow.]

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. ARCHIBALD BLAIR. New-York. Feb. 11, 1788.

BY order of the Hon. JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esq. one of the Judges of the supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York. NOTICE is hereby given to BLAIR McCLENACHAN, late of the City of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, merchant, an absent debtor, and to all others whom it may concern, that on application to the said Judge, made by a creditor of the said Blair McClenachan, an absent debtor as aforesaid, he the said Judge, by virtue and in pursuance of the Act of the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed 4th April, 1786, hath directed all the estate, real and personal, of the said Blair McClenachan, an absent debtor, within this State, to be seized, and that unless the said Blair McClenachan, an absent debtor as aforesaid, shall return and discharge his debts within one year after the date hereof, his estate, real and personal, will be sold for the payment and satisfaction of his creditors.

TUESDAY, 29th January, 1788. An advertisement having appeared in this day's paper, in which Mr. Blair McClenachan is mentioned as late of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, and as an absent Debtor---This notice is given to the person who published that advertisement, and to every other person concerned, that Mr. McClenachan not only was, but still is, a merchant, a man of property, and an inhabitant of Philadelphia, the only part of America in which he ever resided; and any person having just claims upon him, may have a legal remedy, by an application there. The author of this notice gives it principally to remove any groundless suspicions or ideas which the advertisement may occasion, concerning a worthy citizen of the United States, whose person and property have often been risked in their service. tf.
THE author of Blair McClenachan's vindication in yesterday's paper, seems to be little acquainted with the laws of the state of New-York, and much less with the principles of the man whom he endeavours to defend. It may not be amiss to inform the public, that Blair McClenachan has already suffered his property to be attached in the island of St. Eustatia, in the year 1780, by his creditors. Now in the name of common sense, why should a citizen of the state of New-York, be obliged to go to the state of Pennsylvania, or to Algiers, or any other place, and enter into a litigation with Blair McClenachan, when the laws here afford a sufficient remedy? If Blair McClenachan is a man of such property and so worthy a citizen as his friend pretends that he is, why has he not paid the debt, which is the ground of the attachment? The DEBT IS JUST---HAS BEEN LONG DUE---and payment of it has often been demanded; The public therefore will judge whether Blair McClenachan acts like a worthy citizen, in still refusing payment of the debt; when, according to his friend's account, the want of property is not the cause of it. New-York, Jan. 31, 1788. t.f.
