BALTIMORE May 27. It is to be regretted, remarks a correspondent, at this particular juncture, when trade is in a most languishing state, the streets crowded with beggars by day, and infested by a hardened set of villains by night, that there is not an institution in Baltimore, similar to those of the Eastern States, viz. a well regulated work-house, for the reception of such vagabond characters as have no visible means of subsistence, and who are daily marauding on the public, to the disgrace of every idea of police. Numbers of this stamp idle the summer away in their various avocations, some begging, others stealing, &c. till the approach of winter, when they are confined to their wretched dwellings, and, with the accustomed miseries attendant on such vagrant lives, represented to the humane as objects of charity—whereas by an institution above hinted, they might be made to earn the comforts of life in an abundance, and by habit, become useful members, instead of pests to society. The suggestion is not new—it has been repeatedly offered as a means of preventing those sturdy beggars from crowding the streets—and it is remarkable, they are rarely seen any where else on the continent, but in Baltimore.—There is no doubt but a lot-tery for building a complete work-house, would be greatly encouraged. For such a salutary purpose, who would not wish to venture, independent of the hope of a prize?
A few days ago, ————— Robinson, one of the bloody miscreants who murdered and robbed the unfortunate Capt. John de Corse, (as mentioned in our paper of the 28th inst.) was apprehended on the Eastern-Shore, and securely lodged in Talbot County gaol.
A certain ————— West, hath been apprehended and lodged in our gaol, being charged, on oath, with being concerned in maiming and robbing Mr. Greedbury Barton, of this county, at his own house, at a late hour of the night, a few weeks since.
P E T E R S B U R G, May 22. On the 13th inst. at Norfolk, before the Worshipful Court of Justices, was examined Archibald Carroll, late commander of the ship Mary-Anne.—He was charged with the murder of John McGill, one of the two unfortunate seamen, whose bodies were found some days before. From the testimony given upon the examination, the Court adjudged to remand him to prison—since which, we hear, he has been conducted to Richmond; and that from circumstances, it appears probable he perpetrated the horrid act on the other body which was found.

Extract of a letter from Falls township, Bucks county (Pennsylvania), May 22.
“The little thing called the Hessian fly or insect, I have heard, first began to make its appearance on Long Island, and cut off most of the wheat therefor several years past, and last season did considerable damage to the wheat in many parts of East-Jersey, and near Croffwicks cut off many fields, and even appeared on the banks of Delaware river. Near fixed time last year, many persons on the Pennsylvania shore saw the same insect so thick in the air that they appeared like a cloud coming over Delaware river, and on examining some of the largest flies, they had many of their young brood clinging to them; some of them could fly and others not. They have so infested the wheat fields, from the Falls township to Makefield, and many are of opinion much further, that some persons discovering their numbers have pastured their green wheat, ploughed and planted their fields with spring produce and more are following their example.
“The 17th instant I went into a wheat field to examine for the insect, some other persons came on the like occasion, and on drawing up either green, dry or dead spires of wheat, we saw them plenty in each, in a white coloured nit, feed or worm, and wherever they grew amongst the wheat, it was also full of the insect, and since that the owner of the wheat field has turned in his horses to pasture and intends to plant it with corn shortly. I am credibly informed that it is the opinion of many in Amwell and Hopewell, New-Jersey, that they do not expect to save so much as their seed, many of them have ploughed all up and planted with corn. It would be well for all concerned to examine their wheat fields in time, as delays may prove dangerous, and if they discover their fields infested with the insect, it may not be too late to follow the above example.
“The insect in the spring resembles a small flax seed, rather of a rounder shape, but now mostly appears of a white colour, and rather longer than when in their brown colour; they lay mostly and may be found between the first, second and third blades near the root above the ground, sometimes in the middle of the spire near the root.” Yesterday arrived the brig Alfred, Doane, from Cape Francois, in 17 days; Schooner Sincerity, White, in seven days from Baltimore; and Sloop Polly, Bals, from ditto, in six days. Yesterday cleared out at the Custom-house, the sloop Sally, Frith, for Bermuda; and sloop Nancy, Jennings, for Currituck.
In the Betsey, Watson, which failed on Sunday morning for London, JOHN RAPALJE, Esq. and family are gone passengers.
Extract of a letter from Paris. “An old Duchess, whose time is chiefly spent in prayers, and whose spirit has been extremely active against the protestants, sent one day for M. David, the best painter in France, in order to have
a crucifix painted by him as big as life. Her confessor, Father Seraphin, a Capuchin, was chosen by the Duchess's order as the properest person to represent the Christ.—His head was certainly one of the most heavenly ever seen, but his body by no means suitable to represent the muscular form of a crucifix. The Monk was in charming good case; so that when David had taken the traits of his countenance, he made the rest of his body, as is generally done, muscular and thin. The lady was quite charmed with the head, but after examining the rest of the body, the refused to pay the painter the sum agreed upon (five hundred crowns) exclaiming, ah! Pere Seraphin, ce n'est pas la ton corps.
C U R E of the G O U T. THERE are many medicines which, of themselves, would do no good, and perhaps hurt; but being applied in a certain order, one after another, effect great cures. I have tried a remedy for the gout, which has seldom failed to drive it away in twenty-four hours. It is, first, to apply a poultice; then a fomentation; and, lastly, a plaster. The poultice relaxes the pores, and disposes the humor to exhale. The fomentation gently draws out the humor by vapors; because of the way made by the poultice, and therefore only perspires the humors, without drawing more to the part; for it is a gentle fomentation; and has, withal, a little mixture of a stupefactive. The plaster is moderately astringent, which keeps back new humors. The poultice alone would make the part more soft, weak, and apt to receive the defluxion and impression of the humor. The fomentation alone, if it were too weak, would perspire but little, unless way were made for the poultice, and if too strong, it would attract to the part, as well as from it. The plaster alone would pen up the humor, already contained in the part, and so exasperate it: and therefore they must all be used in succession. The poultice is to lie for two or three hours; the fomentation for a quarter of an hour, or somewhat more; being used hot, and seven or eight times repeated, the plaster is to continue on, till the part be well confirmed. The receipt of which is as follows:
The poultice.—Boil the crumb of the finest bread in milk to a pulp; add to the end, a dram and a half of the powder of red roses; ten grains of saffron; an ounce of oil of roses, and spread it on a linen cloth, to be applied huke warm, and continued for three hours.
The fomentation.—Take of sage leaves, half a handful; of the root of hemlock, sliced, six drams; of briony root, half an ounce; of the leaves of red roses, two pugils; boil them in two quarts of water, wherein steel has been quenched, till the liquor come to a quart. After straining put in half a handful of bay-salt. Let it be used with a scarlet cloth, or scarlet wool, dipped in the hot liquor; and so renewed seven times in a quarter of an hour, or a little more.
The plaster.—Take as much Emplastrum Diachalcitons as suffices to cover the part; dissolve it, with oil of roses, to such a consistence as will stick, and spread it upon a piece of Holland.
There is a secret, though unpractised, way of cure; by accustoming oneself to what proves otherwise hurtful. Poisons have been made familiar to some persons: nurses in the plague are seldom infected: tortures, by custom, have been made more easy: excessive quantities of meat, wine, or strong liquors, have, through custom, neither produced surfeits nor drunkenness. And, generally, chronic diseases, as coughs, phtisics, palies, lunacies, &c. are most dangerous at first. Therefore, a wise physician will consider whether the disease be incurable, or whether the just cure of it be not hazardous; and if it be, let him have recourse to palliatives, and alleviate the symptoms, without burying himself too much with the perfect cure; and this course will often succeed beyond all expectation. The patient himself may likewise strive, by degrees, to overcome the symptoms, and so, in time, turn suffering into nature.
Several diseases, especially chronic ones, are sometimes cured by surfeit and excess; as in meat and drink, falling, exercise and the like. For diseases of continuance get an adventitious strength from custom, besides their material cause from the humors; so that the breaking of the custom leaves them only to their first cause; which, if any thing weak, will fall off. Again, such excesses stir and excite nature, which thence riseth more forcibly against the disease.
MR. CHILDS, New-York, June 2d, 1788. PLEASE to publish the following Letter, for the information of the Directors and Agents of the Ohio Company, and all other parties concerned; and oblige your humble servant, RICHARD PLATT. Pittsburgh, the 2d May, 1788.
My dear Sir, AS General Putnam has been very much retarded in his operations by the severity and continuance of winter (which prevented his arrival upon the Monongahela until a later period than had been expected,) it is thought proper to postpone the meeting of the Ohio Company to the 3d Wednesday in August.
Should it be found practicable to bring forward the business at an earlier day, or necessary to further delay it, you shall receive timely notice.
I write this letter without having seen or heard from General Putnam since the first moment of his arrival upon the Muskingum; but General Parsons (the only Director present) is, with myself, of opinion, that it is more eligible to give you this advertisement, than subject the Agents of the Company to the fatigue and expence of travelling to this country unnecessarily.
The Indian treaty will probably be held in July; and, from good information, I have reason to suppose we shall have as many as three thousand of our yellow brethren present. This is the only intelligence I can communicate to you at this time, except, that upwards of two hundred boats have passed Fort Pitt down the River; and, upon a very moderate computation, must have had on board fourteen hundred souls to a boat.
I have the honor to be, My dear Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, WINTHROP SARGENT, Sec'y to the Ohio Company.
Col. RICHARD PLATT, Treasurer to the Ohio Company, New-York. [*] The printers in the Eastern States are requested to republish the above in their papers for the information of those whom it may concern.]
MR. CHILDS, WHEN a most infamous attempt is made to destroy the value of our paper currency, it is the duty of every good citizen to step forth, detect the lurking villain who seeks his country's ill, and expose his conduct to public view.—Such an attempt has lately been made, and since (very deservedly, yet charitably) been published to the world by one, who to me, seemed interested for the welfare of the State. In answer to his publication, the authors of this notorious offence, instead of silence, or a decent apology for their misconduct, have not only endeavored to vindicate the practice which it is the duty of us all to reprobate, and thus insult the understanding of
our citizens;—but have given him, in return for the good he intended the public, the most imperious and presumptuous treatment.—But when we are told by whom all those offences against society are committed, our indignation rises to an uncommon height.—We cannot, indeed we ought not to forbear wishing they were deprived of those comfortable means of subsistence and competence we have thought proper to place within their reach. The gentlemen others, say they, have not been raised from penury, and that they never were in greater penury than at present.—Strange artifice, gentlemen, to impose upon our remembrance, our recollection, and our senses!—I will not enlarge upon this point—it would be too cruel to your feelings—at least, if you are possessed of those of which but few, however abandoned, are void.—I hope you are not yet lost to all sense of honor.—From motives of compassion therefore, I will leave every one to think for himself—to judge of the situation you were in when this country stretched out her arms to you, invited and received you into her protection, made you children of her family, and cherished and supported you with the comforts of her bosom.—What pity, that we must think you born with daggers in your hands, to plunge into the breast that gives you suck!—Yes, I will leave the world to judge of the difference between your former and present situation.
The piece of the gentleman under the signature of “An Enemy to College Coxcomb,” is called “a virulent attack upon the characters of the teachers of our College.”—This is not the case—it is aimed at the men, who were the first that endeavored to depreciate our paper money, that has answered the best of purposes:—This is really an extraordinary piece of knavery; and if knaves are not to be arrested in the palladium of liberty and justice, I know not who are. His language is said to be rude—he has not perhaps, as others, spent his days in the paging and expounding of musical words and round periods.—His actions evince him to have been engaged in important and patriotic occupations of life.—If his language, therefore, be destitute of that little tinsel-polish, about which tutors are so nice and particular, the excellence of his exertions is in no wise lessened. But, worthy gentlemen, as to his being an object of your scorn—if such a thing were possible, I am convinced it would be one of the happiest circumstances of his life.—The Veri, fav. “when the College was restored after the late war, the fees to be paid by the students were fixed by the Governors, who alone have power to fix them, at five dollars, to each professor, whose lectures the student should attend. This sum was undoubtedly understood in silver or gold, for no other currency was then acknowledged by the laws of the State. The professors are therefore justifiable in demanding to be paid in gold or silver, until the Corporation of the College should think fit otherwise to appoint.”—Do you think, seriously that these cavils will redound to your honor?—Persons in your stations in the university, ought to be incapable of such diminutive, evasive, and unavailing assertions.—Pattern after the two gentlemen that are joined with you in the administration of College business, and you will then be entitled to the respect of the community.—The generality of mankind are not so easily deceived, as you perhaps suppose—we can penetrate thro' your design, and are well convinced that the match of private interest has set fire to your proceeding. You say “the fees were fixed at five dollars,” or forty shillings (for nothing is more common either in ordinary conversation, or in writings, than to make the terms exactly synonymous):—But are you to be paid in silver and gold, because no other currency was then acknowledged by the laws of the State?—Upon the same principle, the salaries of all our officers of state ought to be paid in silver and gold.—Can you nobly think, gentlemen, that the Regents or Governors of the College would act so absurdly, as to determine before it was due, or even contracted, what money should be receivable by you for a debt—and that when they knew a law, sanctioned by our Legislative authority, was superior to theirs, and consequently that such a measure would have been an idle piece of work?—Even if we make the wild supposition that they did claim a superiority over the acts of the State; yet do you not rather think they would humbly have left it to the rectitude and generosity of our general laws, to determine on this point?—But it is too foolish, too ridiculous, to imagine that the authority of an inferior Corporation would ever oppose that of our Legislature, in matters of such “general consequence.”—And ought you not, rather to be influenced in your conduct by laws now existing, than by those which were in force some years ago?—The truth is this; there are no laws that absolutely compel either our magistrates or you to take paper money—but they act honestly and as Yorkers ought to do:—In this mode of action we ought to hope for the uniformity of all, but must lament the singularity of a few. Even if you alone were authorized by every law extant, to demand your tuition money in five silver dollars, or otherwise, an advance upon our paper—was it acting the part of good citizens, of gentlemen, or of honest men, to exact it in the present situation of affairs, when you must have been conscious that such an exaction would have had the most dangerous, the most pernicious tendency? The Regents notwithstanding they had been authorized to make and had in fact, made such a resolve as you pretend, could not possibly have foreseen the evil that would have arisen from its interference with a subsequent law of the Legislature? It would therefore be mean and ungenerous in you to take the advantage of an unintentional error.—It is doubly so, to endeavor to constrict that in a favorable light for yourselves, which at best, you can but affect to think a mistake; for to all who will discern, it must plainly appear far from being such—and as far from countenancing or encouraging your injudicious, ignominious practice.—You say the trustees of New-Jersey College, you are informed, have raised the terms of tuition in proportion to the depreciation of their paper.—Has our currency depreciated?—Have you the presumption to say this, altho' you must be well assured you were the first who made the attack upon its reputation? Is it not received in stores in this city, equal to gold and silver; and that too, without the least hesitation?—Does it not circulate very currently and without discount, in the neighboring States? I know it to be fact.—Whilst every worthy citizen is rejoicing to see it answer the ends for which it was emitted, you, even you, dare to aim at its very foundation.—You allege you are obliged to send to Europe for books which cannot be procured here. I believe there are few books indeed, that are much in use, and are not to be had here—and I presume you send to the Eastern shore for still less, that are not for the use of the university; and in my humble opinion also, you would neither of you be quite so generous as to purchase them for that purpose at your own expence. This assertion, therefore, must be considered only as a pretence with which you mean to cloak your black designs.—But allowing all this to be true, it is no reason why you, for the sake of preventing so small a loss as could possibly arise from this source, should perhaps ruin thousands.—You proceed, “no one is ignorant that you must pay a large premium for money that will serve for remittances;—therefore if the price of tuition is not paid in gold or silver, as settled at first, the exchange will be so much
deducted from the small pittance you receive.”—I deny that a high premium is demanded for exchange.—The discount is small—and that only upon extraordinary occasions, and when large sums of money are wanted for immediate transportation.—But I repeat it again—as your foreign calls cannot be considerable, the inconvenience accruing to you from allowing a small discount, for exchange in this case, would be infinitely too trifling to urge as a reason to promote the misery of the State.—Why do you again say, that the tuition was at first settled to be paid in gold or silver? We all know, that none but a wrong construction will force it from the sense of the passage you allude to—and we all know, it was foreign to the intent of the Regents, were it in their power, to confine the terms of payment to silver and gold. And now, gentlemen, do you call your annual income a small pittance? Ungrateful men! you disgrace our institution by this very act. It must degrade you to the lowest pitch in the opinion of every honest man. Have you not a salary of two or three hundred pounds, annually for your services, independent of the two pounds you receive from each student, which amounts I suppose, to nearly one hundred pounds more? Exclusive of all this, do you not receive a considerable compensation yearly, for the attendance of private students? Has not one of you boasted that he laid up some hundreds a year? And yet you complain of poverty and want. Why are you distressed? Cannot one of you support himself, and the other himself and family, small as it is, upon the fruits arising from your profession? I confess I can see no difficulty; and if we may judge from appearances you are not much in distress, only as your thirst for money is insatiable. You are dissatisfied with abundantly more than you had reason or ought to have expected. You have grossly abused our charity and our benevolence. Pray what were the prospects you had when you first came to this country? Reflect upon this, gentlemen; I know the situation you were then in. I have always earnestly wished to see you acquire a genteel maintenance, and indeed a fortune, provided you did it honestly. I have been sorry to see you guilty of some other pieces of misconduct: in this last step especially, you have shewn yourselves to be above yourselves: but believe me, gentlemen, we are not so easily managed by tricks: we will not be imposed upon. A number of the students of the College deserve to be applauded for their resolute conduct in refusing to pay the discount you demanded; and it would be much more to your credit to return the advance you have already received from those who were probably awed into compliance by the contracted brow of your authority, than to retain it in violation of every tie of honor, pariotism, and gratitude.

To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.  4th.

To the honorable the Legislature of the State of
The Petition of the subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh, in the Patent of Stenerabia, in the county of Albany. Most humbly sheweth, THAT the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, or the major part of them, have, at great expence, purchased lots of ground in the said town, and made settlements and improvements thereon, for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade and commerce, and promoting the population of that part of the country.
That experience has taught your petitioners, that the regulation of the internal police of the said town, by the votes of the freeholders and inhabitants, or by a committee by them annually chosen for the purpose, is attended with great difficulties and embarrasments, which daily increase and multiply.
That the said freeholders and inhabitants, for want of being incorporated, cannot obtain a grant of a considerable tract of land, which has been generously promised to them, as common for fuel and pasture, for the use and befit of the said freeholders and inhabitants, by means whereof their prosperity and mercantile prospects may be greatly diminished.
For remedy whereof, and in order to answer the beneficial purposes intended by your petitioners, they are desirous that the freeholders and inhabitants, residing within the following boundaries and limits, may be incorporated, viz. Beginning at a certain pitch-pine stump, standing on the east bank of Hudson's river, opposite the south end of Whale Island, and running thence S. 69. E. 178 chains, agreeable as the same was run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing, Thence N. 19. 45. E. 286 chains and 50 links, as the same was also run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing, Thence W. to the mouth of the Iserberg Kill, at Hudson's river, to low water mark, a the magnetic needle pointed in the year 1760; and from thence down along the river, until opposite the said stump, and from thence to the said stump.
Your petitioners there are, that an act may be passed, to incorporate the freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid, by the name of the Trustees of the Freeholders and inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh.
That the officers to be named in the said act may be seven, to wit: Abraham Jacob Lansing, John Van Ranselaer, Joannimus Hoogland, Flores Banker, Elijah James, Aaron Ward, and John G. Yates.
That the freeholders and inhabitants also said may be enabled annually to choose seven trustees, to keep up a regular succession: That the name of Aaron Lane may be inserted in the said act, as clerk of the said town; Christopher Tillman, Esq. as treasurer; and David Henry, as marshal; and that their successors in office may likewise be annually chosen as aforesaid: And that the Legislature will be pleased to grant such powers, jurisdictions, and privileges to the trustees of the said town, and for the regulation of its internal police, as are legislative in their wisdom shall deem meet and expedient.
And your petitioners will ever pray. Signed by A. B. JACOB LANSING , And above 100 others, Freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid. Lansingburgh, March 8, 1788.
In ASSEMBLY, March 11th, 1788.
Resolved, if the Honorable the Senate concur herein, that Abraham Jacob Lansing and other Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, in the town of Rensselaer in the County of Albany, have leave to present to either House of the Legislature on the second Monday after a quorum of both houses shall be convened at their next meeting, after the 4th Monday in July next, a Bill to incorporate the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, provided that the petitioners do cause a copy of their said petition, and a copy of this resolution, to be published six weeks since fly in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of New-York, and in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of Albany; to the end, that any person who may receive his interest affected thereby, may appear at the Bar of either House, and show cause against the passing such bill.
