NEW-YORK, April 10.
Yesterday arrived the Sloop Tryal, Barnard, from Edenton.
A letter from a gentleman in Holland, to his friends in the neighborhood of New-Brunswick, New-Jersey, mentions, that upwards of two hundred families of the patriot party, have come to a determination of leaving that country, and partaking of the blessings of peace and liberty in this. — This must be highly pleasing to every generous mind, as it affords us a prospect of seeing all our toils and labors in the field rewarded, and the places of those heroes who have fallen in the defence of their country, filled by the oppressed of other nations, who have contributed not a little to the establishment of our independence, and of erecting such a standard in this new world as to make it at once an asylum for all ranks who groan under the tyranny of usurping princes. Amboy, we are told, is the place that has been mentioned as the eligible spot for them to settle, as it has every advantage which a commercial people can wish.
The following very interesting intelligence to the commercial part of the community, is copied from La Gazette de France, printed at Paris, under the Royal sanction; and received by the Juno, from Havre de Grace, which sailed 12 days after his Most Christian Majesty's Packet.
Letter from M. LAMBERT, Counsellor of State and of the Council Royal of Finance and Commerce, Comptroller General of Finance, to M. JEFFERSON, Minister Plenipotentiary for the United States of AMERICA at the Court of VERSAILLES.
Versailles, December 29, 1787.
I HAVE the honor, Sir, to send you a copy of an Arrest passed in Council, for encouraging the Commerce of the United States of America in France. I shall furnish you with a number of others as soon as they shall be printed.
You will therein see that several considerable favors, not before promised to the American Commerce, have been added to those which the King announced to you, in the letter addressed to you on the 22d of October of the last year.
If in the mean time any duties have been levied, contrary to the intentions of that letter, they shall be repaid on sight of the vouchers.
I have also ordered a verification of the facts whereon it was represented to you, that the decision of the 24th of May, 1786, relative to the commerce of tobacco, had not been fully executed. Be assured that if it shall appear that engagements have been evaded, which were taken under the sanction of the King, effectual provision shall be made for their scrupulous fulfillment.
You will learn also with pleasure that the measures I have taken to prevent the interruption of the commerce of tobacco, have had full success.
This commodity shall not be excepted from among those to which the right of entrepot is given. The Farmers General shall have no preference in the purchases; the proprietors shall be perfectly masters of their speculations, and free to export their tobaccos by sea to foreign countries.
Measures only must be taken to prevent those frauds to which the entrepot might serve as a pretext; and the Chambers of Commerce for the ports shall be consulted, in order that the precautions necessary for this purpose, may not be incompatible with that liberty which commerce ought to enjoy in its operations.
Although the present stock of the Farmers General amounts to about three years consumption, I have engaged that company to continue to purchase yearly from the first day of January 1788, to the end of their lease, fourteen thousand hogheads of tobacco brought directly into the ports of France in any French or American bottoms, and to show at the end of every four months that their purchases amount to four thousand six hundred and sixty-six hogheads.
As to the prices, you have been sensible yourself of the necessity of leaving them free; and this freedom of price was the principal object of the applications of the American and French merchants when they complained of the contract of Mr. Morris.
The determination then taken to force the purchases of tobacco, though at high prices, insomuch that the Farmers General now find themselves possessed of three years provision, shews that the interest of the planters and merchants of the United States of America have ever been precious to the King.
The arrest of Council herein inclosed, and the other regulations which I have the honor of communicating to you, are a further confirmation of a truth tending so much to strengthen the bands which unite the two nations.
I have the honor to be, with a very sincere and inviolable attachment, Sir, your most humble and most obedient servant,
Signed, L A M B E R T.
An ACT of King's Council of State, for the Encouragement of the Commerce of France with the United States of America.
December 29, 1787.
Extract from the Records of the Council of State.
THE KING, desirous of encouraging the commerce of his subjects with the United States of America, and of facilitating between the two Nations connections reciprocally useful: Having heard the report of the Sieur Lambert, Counsellor of State, and of the Royal Council of Finance and Commerce, Comptroller General of Finance, His Majesty being in his council, has ordained, and does ordain as follows:
ARTICLE FIRST.
Whale-oils and Spermaceti, the produce of the fisheries of the citizens and inhabitants of the United States of America, which shall be brought into France directly in French vessels, or in those of the United States, shall continue to be subjected to a duty, only of seven livres ten sols the barrel, of five hundred and twenty pounds weight, and whale-fins shall be subject to a duty of only six livres thirteen sols, four deniers the quintal, with the ten sols per livre on each of the said duties; which ten sols per livre shall cease on the last day of December, one thousand seven hundred and ninety; His Majesty reserving to himself, to grant further favors to the produce of the whale fisheries, carried on by the fishermen of the United States of America, which shall be brought into France in French vessels, or in those of the United States, if, on the information which his Majesty shall cause to be taken thereon, he shall judge it expedient, for the interest of the two Nations.
II.
The other fish oils, and dry or salted fish, the produce in like manner of the fisheries of the citizens and inhabitants of the United States, and brought also directly into France, in their, or in French vessels, shall not pay any other, nor greater duties, than those to which the oils and fish of the same kind, the produce of the fisheries of the Hanseatic towns, or of other, the most favored nations, are, or shall be subject in the same case.
III.
The manufacture of candles and tapers of spermaceti, shall be permitted in France, as that of other candles and tapers.

V.
Vessels built in the United States, and sold in France, or purchased by Frenchmen, shall be exempt from all duties, on proof that they were built in the United States.
VI.
Turpentine, tar and pitch, the produce of the United States of America, and brought directly into France in French vessels, or in those of the United States, shall pay only a duty of two and a half per cent. on their value, and as well the duties mentioned in this, as in the fourth article, shall be exempt from all addition of sous per livre.
VII.
The exportation of arms of all sorts, and of gun-powder, for the United States of America, shall be always permitted in French vessels, or in those of the United States, paying for the arms, a duty of one-eighth per cent. on their value; and gun-powder in that case, shall be exempt from all duty, on giving a cautionary bond.
VIII.
Papers of all sorts, even paper hangings and colored papers, paste-board and books shall be exempt from all duties on their embarkation for the United States of America, in French vessels, or in those of the United States, and shall be entitled in that case to a restitution of the fabrication duties on paper and paste-board.
IX.
The Admiralty duties on the vessels of the United States entering into, or going out of the ports of France, shall not be levied but conformably with the edict of the month of June last in the cases therein provided for, and with the letters patent of the tenth of January, one thousand seven hundred and seventy, for the objects for which no provision shall have been made by the said edict; his Majesty reserving to himself moreover to make known his intentions as to the manner in which the said duties shall be levied, whether in proportion to the tonnage of the vessels or otherwise, as also to simplify the said duties of the Admiralty and to regulate them as far as shall be possible on the principle of reciprocity, as soon as the orders shall be completed which were given by his Majesty according to the twenty-sixth article of the said edict of the month of June last.
X.
The entrepot (or storing) of all the productions and merchandize of the United States, shall be permitted for six months in all the ports of France open to the commerce of her Colonies; and the said entrepot shall be subject only to a duty of one eighth per cent.
XI.
To favor the exportation of arms, hardware, jewellery, bonnetery*, of wool and of cotton, coarse woollens, small draperies and stuffs of cotton of all sorts, and other merchandizes of French fabric, which shall be sent to the United States of America in French vessels, or in those of the United States, his Majesty reserves to himself to grant encouragements, which shall be immediately regulated in his Council, according to the nature of each of the said merchandizes.
XII.
As to other merchandizes not mentioned in this act, brought directly into France from the United States in their or in French vessels, or carried from France to the said United States in French vessels or in those of the United States; and with respect to all commercial conventions whatsoever, his Majesty wills and ordains that the citizens of the United States enjoy in France the same rights, privileges and exemptions with the subjects of his Majesty, saving the execution of what is provided in the ninth article hereof.
XIII.
His Majesty grants to the citizens and inhabitants of the United States, all the advantages which are enjoyed or which may be hereafter enjoyed by the most favored nations in his Colonies of America; and moreover, his Majesty assures to the said citizens and inhabitants of the United States all the privileges and advantages which his own subjects of France enjoy or shall enjoy in Asia, and in the seas leading thereto; provided always, that their vessels shall have been fitted out and dispatched in some port of the United States.
His Majesty commands and orders M. le Duc de Penthièvre, Admiral of France; the Intendants and Commissaries de parti in the provinces; the Commissaries de parti for the observation of the Ordinances in the Admiralties; the Officers of the Admiralties, Masters of the Ports, Judges des traites, and all others to whom it shall belong, to be aiding in the execution of the present regulation, which shall be registered in the offices of the said Admiralties, read, published and posted wherever shall be necessary.

MR. PRINTER,
If you think the following Extract of sufficient importance to the public, you are at liberty to insert it. It is a true copy of the original, verbatim & literatim .
Extract of a letter, dated Albany, April 3, 1788, to a Gentleman in New-York.
" Antifederal measures stand well with us and if we do not relax in our duty there is all hopes that we may carry the day. Altho' the unremitted exertions that is made by the better sort of people, how stands matters with you in New-York, let me have a line on the subject. We are in close action from morning to night so that little time is spent with me on any other subject I am yrs. &c
J— V— R—
MR. CHILDS,
I AM possessed of the same old book, in which Peter Pennyless met with Mad Tom's speech; but in that book it is said Peter attended a Presbyterian conventicle, and Mad Tom addressed himself to a Presbyterian congregation. Why your Queen's County correspondent should substitute Methodist for Presbyterian, I cannot divine, unless he meant to stigmatize a respectable class of people called Methodists; if so, he is disappointed; and I wish that gentleman for the future would confine himself to truth, whenever he thinks proper to make extracts from any publication for the inspection of the public, lest he might meet with detections similar to the present. I leave the book with you, Mr. Printer, for the perusal of such persons, who may wish to be satisfied of the truth of what I have advanced. A Friend to Truth. New-York, April 8, 1788.
Prospects on the Rubicon.
[Concluded, from Tuesday's Paper.]
THE alliance between France and the Dutch, was formed while the Stadtholder was a part of the government, therefore France could not from that alliance take a part either for or against him. She could only act when the whole interest of the Republic was exposed to a foreign enemy, and it was not certain that this might not be the case.
The rescript, therefore, instead of being taken as a ground for war, was in itself a ground for peace, because it tended to bring on a discussion of all the circumstances of France and England relative to Holland, which could not have failed to place Holland in a state of neutrality, and that only will be the final event now; because, independent of all parties, no other is consistent with the whole national interest of that republic.
But this not being done, it is now left to the Dutch to do it for themselves.
An alliance with England, at the same time there is one existing with France, will secure this neutrality so necessary to the Dutch republic. By this stroke of politics she will be free from all obligations to join with either in a war, and be guaranteed by both. Her alliance with England will debar England from molesting her trade by sea, and that with France will debar France from the same thing, and likewise from invading her by land in all future cases. There are so many probable circumstances to arise on the continent of Europe, that the situation of Holland requires this safeguard, more especially from France, on account of her land connection.
The arising greatness of the Russian empire, the probable union of the interest of this empire with that of Germany and France and consequently with Spain, whose interests cannot be separated, and the probability of a rupture between the Emperor and the King of Prussia, are matters that cannot fail to impress the Dutch with the necessity of securing themselves by land as well as by sea, and to prevent their being drawn into the quarrels either of England or France.
Upon the whole, as there was a civil as well as an uncivil line of politics to be pursued, every man of humane and generous sentiments must lament it was not chosen.
A disposition for peace was growing up in every part of France, and there appeared at the same time a mutual one rising in England. A silent wish on both sides, was universally expending itself, that wars, so fatal to the true interest, and burthensome by taxes to the subjects of both countries might exist no more, and that a long and lasting peace might take place.
But instead of cultivating this happy opportunity, the petish vanity of a young and unexperienced Minister, who balanced himself between peace and war to take his choice of circumstances, instead of principles, and who went into an expensive armament when there was none to contend with, and not till after the affairs of Holland might be said to be terminated, has destroyed those seeds of harmony that might have been rendered of more value to both nations than their fleets and armies.
He has permitted the nation to run mad under the universal influence of a groundless belief of vast hostile armaments in the East and West-Indies, and the supposition of a secret that never existed. By this means the sparks of ill-will are a fresh kindled up between the nations, the fair prospect of lasting peace is vanished, and a train of future evils fills up the scene, and that at a time when the internal affairs of France, however confused they at present appear, are naturally approaching to a great and harmonious encrease of its power.
The INSPECTORS of the ensuing Election, for the City and County of New-York, are requested to meet at the House of John Simmon's, Inn-holder, in Wall-street, near the City-Hall, on TUESDAY EVENING next, at 7 o'clock. April 9, 1788.

THE FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK.
A Number of your Fellow Citizens deeply impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Government, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention. JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW.
As Members of the Senate. ISAAC ROOSEVELT, EZRA L'HOMMEDIEU, PAUL MICHEAU.
As Members of the Assembly. COMFORT SANDS, WILLIAM GILBERT, ALEXANDER M'COMB, NICHOLAS HOFFMAN, BROCKHOLST LIVINGSTON, GULIAN VERPLANCK, NICHOLAS LOW, RICHARD HARRISON, JOHN WATTS, Jun.
In the nomination of persons, to be deputed to the Convention, no difficulty occurred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That which appears to be the greatest interest of every true American, — the consolidation of our Union, in which is involved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and county, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now submitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the purpose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our MOTTO. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and private interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.
By Order of the Meeting, THOMAS RANDALL, Chairman. New-York, April 8, 1788.

M O N T M O R I N.
THIS TOWN, laid out at the solicitation of several Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Port M'Intosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settlement formerly called Logstown, which was abandoned previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and abundant in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the water is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communication or route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskingum, Miami and Kentucky settlements; as well as the Illinois, Mississippi, &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious, being all 66 feet wide; except Great George, Washington, Hancock and Clinton-streets, which are 99 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 47 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vested in trustees for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the delivery of certificates or purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlet, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas McKean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenburgh and H. Litter, Matth. Clarkson and Richard Bache, Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputable titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appropriation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold, and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth, Mr. Mark Wilcox, Mr. Thomas Bradford, and at the Coffee House, Philadelphia; Mr. John Delafield, New-York; General Heister, Reading; John Hubley, Esq. Lancaster; Mr. Heckenvelder, Bethlehem; Mr. Isaac Craig, Fort Pitt; and Colonel Stephen Bayard, Elizabeth-Town, Westmoreland County. ISAAC MELCHER. Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1787.
EXTRACT. Page 10, Colonel Bonquet's Expedition, 1764, Friday, Oct. 5. "In this day's march the army passed through Logstown, situated seventeen and a half miles sixty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the English and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge on the summit of which, near the decisive flood, the upper town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Proceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
Those who are desirous of further information respecting the soil and situation of Montmorin, are referred to Governor M c Lean, Gen. Lawrence, Gen. Morgan and Matthew Clarkson, Esqrs., or any other gentleman acquainted in the Western Country. April 5. tf.
