[No. 965.]
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. For terms, apply to DIRCK LEFFERTS, in Maiden-Lane, No. 21, New-York, who will give a good title for the same. The conditions of payment will be made easy to the Purchaser.

CHARLESTON, March 10.
Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broke out in the cellar of one of the back buildings belonging to Messrs. A. & W. Tunno, on the Bay; which having seized on a considerable quantity of Sea-coal there deposited, rendered all attempts to extinguish it fruitless. A party wall prevented its communication with the rest of the range; the buildings well calculated to resist external fire, and the engines being well served and judiciously managed, the destructive element was got under without further damage than consuming the store where it broke out, with all the goods contained therein, to a very considerable amount.
ALBANY, March 17.
This day ushers in the anniversary of St. PATRICK, the Tutelar Saint of Ireland. A number of the most respectable characters of this city, propose celebrating it at the City-Tavern, where the artillery company, in complete uniform, is to attend on the occasion.
We can assure the public, that the inhabitants of the respectable district of Scituate, are truly FEDERAL. Wednesday evening last, a general meeting was held in that place, for the purpose of knowing the sentiments of the people on the important subject. After the Federal Constitution was read, and observations made thereon, by gentlemen of penetration, a division was called for, when there appeared a majority of 27 in favor of its adoption, and but 5 against it.
The number of families that have passed through this city, during the sleighing, is thought, on a moderate computation, to amount to one hundred. They are chiefly from New-England, and are destined to the fertile lands on the Mohawk; which, although they are sold very low, are equal, if not superior to any on the continent.
BOSTON, March 15.
His Excellency the Governor, with advice and consent of the Council, has been pleased to appoint Thursday, the 17th of April next, to be observed as a day of fasting and prayer throughout this Commonwealth.
Thursday, April 10th, is appointed by his Excellency President Sullivan, as a day of fasting and prayer in the State of New-Hampshire. Among other objects set forth in the proclamation, for which the people are exhorted to assemble together, is, that they may supplicate Almighty God to graciously grant to the Members of the Convention that wisdom, which is necessary to direct, and lead them into measures which may promote the interest and happiness of the United States.
NEW-YORK, March 26.
One Swezy, and his colleague, are now confined in Newark goal, on suspicion of robbing Mr. Hessel Peterse, Collector of Aquackanock township last fall. Circumstances are so strong against these incorrigible plunderers, as to leave no doubt but they are the very identical persons who committed the robbery.
The laudable exertions of the people of Kentucky to organize their government, seconded by the magnanimous conduct of the Virginians, who have generously relinquished their jurisdiction over them, bid fair to transmute that late dreary wilderness into a fair republic.
Monday morning arrived the sloop Dolphin, from Poughkeepsie, Alexander Bisset master, from Santa Cruz; Capt. Bisset left Curacoa the 4th of November last for this port; he came on the coast the latter end of December, and continued beating to windward in heavy gales till the 16th of January, when being short of provisions, and no prospect of getting into port, he bore away for the West-Indies and made Santa Cruz. While he was on the coast, he relates, that on the 3d of January, in the latitude of 40, long. 74, he saw a yellow finned sloop founder, about half a league from him, and all on board perished. On the 12th of January in a heavy gale at W. N. W. he passed by the wreck of a brig which was all under but her topmasts, and no person to be seen. We are requested by him to mention the generous and humane treatment he experienced from Capt. John Askew in the ship Dolphin, of Salem, then 8 days out bound for the Isle of France, who on the 6th of January, took a great deal of pains to furnish Capt. Bisset with some provisions of which he stood greatly in need. The sloop while on the coast sustained much damage; and had the mate (whose name is Crane) washed over board and lost, on the 12th of January.
Captain Bunker, in the brig Sally, on his passage from St. Martin's to Philadelphia, the 1st of March, in lat. 33, 40, long. 64, 20, fell in with the ship Cincinnati, Capt. Charles Collings, from Morlaix,
bound to Virginia, 42 days out, who on the 19th of February, in long. 62, fell in with the ship Friendship, Clodes Basse, Master, from Marseilles, bound to Baltimore, out four months, in great distress, without provision of any kind; lost his rudder; both fore and main mast disabled; the weather being so bad that Captain Collings could give them no assistance until the 21st; then it was with great difficulty he took all the people out, 15 in number, who added to Captain Collings's ship's company, consuming his provision so fast, that he was at a short allowance. Captain Bunker took four of the Friendship's men on board, which was all the assistance that he was able to give, and kept company with him until the 6th, when the wind still continuing to the westward, and blowing very hard, Captain Collings bore away for the West-Indies, ship in a leaky condition.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE.
Tuesday, March 18, 1788.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
A message was received from the Council of Revision, that they had no objections to The Bill for the more effectual collection of the arrears of taxes, heretofore made payable in public securities;
The Bill to prevent the storing of gunpowder in certain parts of the city of New-York;
The Bill for vesting the estate of Sarah-Anne Delaplaine in the trustees therein named; and
The Bill to prolong the collection of the tax therein mentioned.
Went again into Committee on the Insolvent Bill:
Mr. Tompkins in the Chair.
On motion of Mr. Jones, a clause was inserted, to this effect: that where a merchant goes to gaol, on execution, and is actually imprisoned sixty days, he may make an assignment of his property, and be released; if he refuses to make an assignment, the Chancellor and the Judges of the Supreme Court have power to do the same, and he forfeits the opportunity of being liberated.
Several other amendments were made to the Bill, when the Committee rose and reported. The said amendments were ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
Went into Committee on the Bill for the relief of the creditors of William Vanderlocht:
Mr. Winant in the Chair.
After the Bill was read,
Mr. Benson proposed a substitute, which was merely to revive the late Insolvent Act, so far as to take in the case of the petitioners.
This gave rise to a few minutes conversation; in which Mr. Benson was opposed by Mr. Brooks, Mr. Speaker, and Mr. Sickles.
On the question to agree to Mr. Benson's motion.
Affirmative. Messrs. Jones, Carman, J. Smith, Doughty, Wyckoff, Tillotson, J. Cantine, P. Cantine, Benson, Low, Vervanck, Wisner, Younglove, Harrison, Clarke.
Negative. Messrs. Cornwall, Niven, Sylvester, Baker, Patterson, De Witt, Strang, Speaker, Van Orden, Frey, Aren, Powers, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Hedges, Osborn, Graham, Sickles, Brooks, Clinton, Lewis, Tompkins, Havens, N. Smith, Drake, Winn, Veeder, Thomas.
The Bill, as it came from the Senate, was then agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Sickles, a clause was added to release from confinement, all persons who may now be in gaol, for the sum of ten pounds and under.
A clause was also added for the releasing from prison, Luke Wynfort, and Trientie his wife, and William Hill, confined in the gaol of Albany; and William Betts, and Ebenezer Prentice, confined in the gaol of New-York.
The Committee then rose and reported the Bill; when the additional clauses were ordered to be engrossed.
Adjourned till 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.

[Said to be written by the Author of Common Sense.]
[Continued from our Paper of March 24.]
CREDIT is not money, and therefore it is not pay, neither can it be put in the place of money in the end. It is only the means of getting into debt, not the means of getting out, otherwise the national debt could not accumulate; and the delusion which nations are under respecting the extension of credit is exactly like that which every man feels respecting life, the
end is always nearer than was expected, and we become bankrupts in time by the same delusion that nations become bankrupts in property.
The little which nations know, or are some times willing to know of each other, serves to precipitate them into wars which neither would have undertaken, had the fully known the extent of the power and circumstances of the other; it may therefore be of some use to place the circumstances of England and France in a comparative point of view.
In order to do this, the accidental circumstances of a nation must be thrown out of the account. By accidental circumstances is meant, those temporary disjointings and derangements of its internal system which every nation in the world is subject to, and which, like accidental fits of sickness in the human body, prevent in the interim the full exertion and exercise of its natural powers.
The substantial basis of the power of a nation arises out of its population, its wealth and its revenues. To these may be added the disposition of the people. Each of these will be spoken to as we proceed.
Instances are not wanting to shew that a nation confiding too much on its natural strength, is less inclined to be active in its operations, than one of less natural powers, who is obliged to supply that deficiency by encreasing its exertions. This has often been the case between England and France. The activity of England, arising from its fears, has some times exceeded the exertions of France, reposing on its confidence.
But as this depends on the accidental disposition of the people, it will not always be the same. It is a matter well known to every man who has lately been in France, that a very extraordinary change is working itself in the minds of the people of that nation. A spirit that will render France exceedingly formidable, whenever its Government shall embrace the fortunate opportunity of doubling its strength, by allying, if it may be so expressed, (for it is difficult to express a new idea by old terms) the majesty of the Sovereign with the majesty of the nation; for of all alliances, this is infinitely the strongest and safest to be trusted to, because the interest so formed, and operating against external enemies, can never be divided.
It may be taken as a certain rule, that a subject of any country, attached to the government on the principles above-mentioned, is of twice the value he was before. Freedom in the subject is not a diminution, as was formerly believed, of the powers of government, but an encrease of it. Yet the progress by which changes of this kind are effected, requires to be nicely attended to.
Were Governments to offer freedom to the people, or to shew an anxiety for that purpose, the offer most probably would be rejected. The purpose for which it was offered might be mistrusted. Therefore the desire must originate with, and proceed from the mass of the people, and when the impression becomes universal, and not before, is the important moment, for the most effectual consolidation of national strength and greatness, that can take place.
While this change is working, there will appear a kind of chaos on the nation; but the creation which we enjoy, arose out of a chaos, and our greatest blessings appear to have a confused beginning.
Therefore, we may take it for granted, that what has at this moment the appearance of disorder in France, is no more than one of the natural links in that great chain of circumstances by which nations acquire the summit of their greatness. The provincial assemblies already begun in France, are as full or rather a fuller representation of the people than the parliaments of England are.
The French, or, as they were formerly called, the Franks, (from whence came the English word frank and free) were once the freest people in Europe; and as nations appear to have their periodical revolutions, it is probable they will be so again. The change is already begun. The people of France, as is before observed, are beginning to think for themselves, and the people of England resigning up the prerogative of thinking.
We shall now proceed to compare the present condition of England and France as to population, revenues and wealth, and to shew that neither is in a condition to go to war, and that war can end in nothing but loss, and, most probably, a temporary ruin to both nations.
To establish this point so necessary for both nations to be impressed with, a free investigation of all the matters connected with it is indispensable: If, therefore, anything hereafter advanced should be disagreeable, it must be justified on the ground that it is better to be known in order to prevent ruin, than to be concealed, when such concealment serves only to hasten the ruin on.
Of POPULATION.
The population of France being upwards of twenty-four millions, is more than double that of Great-Britain and Ireland; be-
lies which France recruits more soldiers in a swift island than England does in Scotland and Ireland. To this may its wife be added, that England and Ireland are not on the best terms. The suspicion that England governs Ireland for the purpose of keeping her low to prevent her becoming a rival in trade and manufactures, will always operate to hold Ireland in a state of sentimental hostilities with England.
REVENUES.
The revenues of France are twenty-four millions sterling. The revenues of England fifteen millions and an half. The taxes per head in France are twenty shillings sterling; the taxes per head in England are two pounds four shillings and two-pence. The national debt in France, including the life annuities (which are two-fifths of the whole debt, and annually expiring) at eleven years purchase, is one hundred and forty-two millions sterling. The national debt of England, the whole of which is on perpetual interest, is two hundred and forty five millions.
The national debt of France, contains a power of annihilating itself without any new taxes for that purpose; because it needs no more, than to apply the life annuities as they expire, to the purchase of the other three-fifths, which are on perpetual interest: But the national debt of England has not this advantage, and therefore the million a year, that is to be applied towards reducing it, is so much additional tax upon the people, over and above the current service.

THE PRINCIPLES of the LATIN GRAMMAR,
EXPLAINED in a manner suited to the capacity of beginners; with Notes and Observations, cal- culated for those who have made proficiency in the Classics.
By JAMES HARDIE, A. B. Teacher of the GREEK and LATIN Languages, NEW-YORK.
WE, the President and professors of Columbia Col- lege, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do cer- tify that we have examined a new publication en- titled "the principles of the Latin Grammar" ex- plained, &c. by James Hardie, and that we find it an accurate and judicious compilation calculated for the instruction of youth in the rudiments of the La- tin language, and such as may be useful even to those who have made considerable progress therein. We therefore recommend it to all who are en- trusted with the care of education, and particularly to the teachers in the different schools of this State.

And to be sold by Samuel Loudon, No. 53 Water-street; and Robert Hodge, No. 237, the corner of King and Queen-streets, A New, and complete System of ARITHMETIC,
Compiled for the use of the Citizens of the United States.
By NICHOLAS PIKE, A. M. *This Book is strongly recommended by the first literary characters in America, who have had the perusal of it. The Author in treating on num- bers, has done it with much perspicuity, and sin- gular address; that the study thereof will become more a pleasure than a task. The arrangement of their work, and the method by which he leads the Tryo to the first principles of numbers, are novel, less no- to be met with in any other book. Wingate, Har- ton, Hill, Ward and many other authors, whose brought into a comparative view with this Treatise, are inadequate and defective. This volume contains behind what is useful and necessary in the common affairs of life; a great fund for amusement and en- tertainment. The Mechanic will find in it much more than he may have occasion for; the Lawyer, Merchant and Mathematician will find an ample field for the exercise of their genius, and it may be read to great advantage by students of every class, from the lowest school to the university. 2nd ed. 90.
