HOGS BRISTLES.
WANTED by the Subscribers a quantity of Hogs Bristles, for which two shillings per pound will be given, provided they are dressed clean; those in the rough, one shilling and three pence per do. the subscribers having erected a BRUSH MANUFAC- TORY , at No. 4, Peck-hip, where they propose carrying on the brush-making business, in all its various branches. Store-keepers and others may be furnished on as low terms as any imported, to which they hope the preference will be given them, as the work is equally good, if not better. They will warrant their work not to fail till worn out by use, and flatter themselves with an expectation of getting a sufficient supply of this country bristles, that they may not be under the necessity of importing their stock from England. The farmers, by being care- ful in the season of killing, may have sufficient to supply them in this business. Country store-keepers would be the most proper persons to collect them.
Those who will please to undertake the collecting them, will meet with a ready sale, and be a means of promoting a very useful branch of business which may be carried on in this State, and put a stop to the importing that commodity. The least favor will be gratefully acknowledged by

The FEDERALIST, No 6.
To the People of the State of New-York.
THE three last numbers of this paper have been dedicated to an enumeration of the dangers to which we should be exposed, in a state of disunion, from the arms and arts of foreign nations. I shall now proceed to delineate dangers of a different, and, perhaps, still more alarming kind, those which will in all probability flow from dissensions between the States themselves, and from domestic factions and convulsions. These have been already in some instances slightly anticipated; but they deserve a more particular and more full investigation.
A man must be far gone in Utopian speculations who can seriously doubt, that if these States should either be wholly disunited, or only united in partial confederacies, the subdivisions into which they might be thrown would have frequent and violent contests with each other. To presume a want of motives for such contests, as an argument against their existence, would be to forget that men are ambitious, vindictive and rapacious. To look for a continuation of harmony between a number of independent, unconnected sovereignties, situated in the same neighbourhood, would be to disregard the uniform course of human events, and to set at defiance the accumulated experience of ages.
The causes of hostility among nations are innumerable. There are some which have a general and almost constant operation upon the collective bodies of society: Of this description are the love of power or the desire of pre-eminence and dominion—the jealousy of power, or the desire of equality and safety. There are others which have a more circumscribed, though an equally operative influence, within their spheres. Such are the rivalships and competitions of commerce between commercial nations. And there are others, not less numerous than either of the former, which take their origin entirely in private passions; in the attachments, enmities, interests, hopes and fears of leading individuals in the communities of which they are members. Men of this class, whether the favourites of a king or of a people, have in too many instances abused the confidence they possessed; and assuming the pretext of some public motive, have not scrupled to sacrifice the national tranquility to personal advantage, or personal gratification.
The celebrated Pericles, in compliance with the resentments of a prostitute, (A) at the expence of much of the blood and treasure of his countrymen, attacked, vanquished and destroyed, the city of the Samnians. The fame man, stimulated by private pique against the Megarensians, (B) another nation of Greece, or to avoid a prosecution with which he was threatened as an accomplice in a supposed theft of the statuary Phidias, (C) or to get rid of the accusations prepared to be brought against him for dissipating the funds of the State in the purchase of popularity, (D) or from a combination of all these causes, was the primitive author of that famous and fatal war, distinguished in the Grecian annals by the name of the Peloponnesian war; which, after various vicissitudes, intermissions and renewals, terminated in the ruin of the Athenian Commonwealth.
The ambitious Cardinal, who was prime Minister to Henry VIIIth. permitting his vanity to aspire to the Triple-Crown, (E) entertained hopes of succeeding in the acquisition of that splendid prize by the influence of the Emperor Charles Vth. To secure the favor and interest of this enterprising and powerful Monarch, he precipitated England into a war with France, contrary to the plainest dictates of policy, and at the hazard of the safety and independence, as well of the kingdom over which he presided by his councils, as of Europe in general—For if there ever was a Sovereign who bid fair to realise the project of universal monarchy, it was the Emperor Charles Vth. of whose intrigues Wolsey was at once the instrument and the dupe.
The influence which the bigotry of one female, (F) the petulancies of another, (G) and the cabals of a third, (H) had in the cotemporary policy, fermentations and pacifications of a considerable part of Europe, are topics that have been too often dwelt upon not to be generally known.
To multiply examples of the agency of personal considerations in the production of great national events, either foreign or domestic, according to their direction, would be an unnecessary waste of time. Those who have but a superficial acquaintance with the sources from which they are to be drawn will themselves recollect a variety of instances; and those who have a tolerable knowledge of human nature will not stand in need of such lights, to form their opinion either of the reality or extent of that agency. Perhaps however a reference, tending to illustrate the general principle, may with propriety be made to a case which has lately happened among ourselves.—If SHAYS had not been a desperate debtor it is much to be doubted whether Massachusetts would have been plunged into a civil war.
But notwithstanding the concurring testimony of experience, in this particular, there are still to be found visionary, or designing men, who stand ready to advocate the paradox of perpetual peace between the States, though dismembered and alienated from each other. The genius of republics, say they, is pacific; the spirit of commerce has a tendency to soften the manners of men and to extinguish those inflammable humours which have so often kindled into wars. Commercial republics, like ours, will never be disposed to waste themselves in ruinous contentions with each other. They will be governed by mutual interest, and will cultivate a spirit of mutual amity and concord.
Is it not (we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of all nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit? If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it? Has it not, on the contrary, invariably been found, that momentary passions and immediate interests have a more active and imperious controul over human nature?

conduct than general or remote considerations of policy, utility or justice? Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies? Are not the former administered by men as well as the latter? Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships and desires of unjust acquisitions that affect nations as well as kings? Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of all other irregular and violent propensities? Is it not well known that their determinations are often governed by a few individuals, in whom they place confidence, and are of course liable to be tinctured by the passions and views of those individuals? Has commerce hitherto done any thing more than change the objects of war? Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory? Have there not been as many wars founded upon commercial motives, since that has become the prevailing system of nations, as were before occasioned by the cupidity of territory or dominion? Has not the spirit of commerce in many instances administered new incentives to the appetite both for the one and for the other?—Let experience, the least fallible guide of human opinions be appealed to for an answer to these enquiries.
Sparta, Athens, Rome and Carthage were all Republics; two of them, Athens and Carthage, of the commercial kind. Yet were they as often engaged in wars, offensive and defensive, as the neighbouring Monarchies of the same times. Sparta was little better than a well regulated camp; and Rome was never sated of carnage and conquest.
Carthage, though a commercial Republic, was the aggressor in the very war that ended in her destruction. Hannibal had carried her arms into the heart of Italy and to the gates of Rome before Scipio, in turn, gave her an overthrow in the territories of Carthage and made a conquest of the Commonwealth.
Venice in latter times figured more than once in wars of ambition; 'till becoming an object of terror to the other Italian States, Pope Julius the second found means to accomplish that formidable league, (1) which gave a deadly blow to the power and pride of this haughty Republic.
The Provinces of Holland, 'till they were overwhelmed in debts and taxes, took a leading and conspicuous part in the wars of Europe. They had furious contests with England for the dominion of the sea, and were among the most persevering and most implacable of the opponents of Lewis XIV.
In the government of Britain the representatives of the people compose one branch of the national Legislature. Commerce has been for ages the predominant pursuit of that country. Few nations, nevertheless have been more frequently engaged in war; and the wars, in which that kingdom has been engaged, have in numerous instances proceeded from the people.
There have been, if I may so express it, almost as many popular as royal wars. The cries of the nation and the importunities of their representatives have, upon various occasions, dragged their monarchs into war, or continued them in it contrary to their inclinations, and sometimes contrary to the real interests of the State. In that memorable struggle for superiority, between the rival houses of Austria and Bourbon, which so long kept Europe in a flame, it is well known that the anticipations of the English against the French, seconding the ambition, or rather the avarice of a favorite leader, (K) protracted the war beyond the limits marked out by sound policy, and for a considerable time in opposition to the views of the Court.
The wars of these two last mentioned nations have in a great measure grown out of commercial considerations—The desire of supplanting and the fear of being supplanted, either in particular branches of traffic, or in the general advantages of trade and navigation.
From this summary of what has taken place in other countries, whose situations have borne the nearest resemblance to our own, what reason can we have to confide in those reveries, which would seduce us into an expectation of peace and cordiality between the members of the present confederacy, in a state of separation? Have we not already seen enough of the fallacy and extravagance of those idle theories which have amused us with promises of an exemption from the imperfections, weaknesses and evils incident to society in every shape? Is it not time to awake from the deceitful dream of a golden age, and to adopt as a practical maxim for the direction of our political conduct, that we, as well as the other inhabitants of the globe, are yet remote from the happy empire of perfect wisdom and perfect virtue?
Let the point of extreme depression to whom our national dignity and credit have sunk—let the inconveniences felt every where from a lax and ill administration of government—let the revolt of a part of the State of North-Carolina—the late menacing disturbances in Pennsylvania and the actual insurrections and rebellions in Massachusetts declare!
So far as the general sense of mankind from corresponding with the tenets of those, who endeavor to lull asleep our apprehensions of discord and hostility between the States, in the event of disunion, that it has from long observation of the progress of society become a sort of axiom in politics, that vicinity, or nearness of situation, constitutes nations natural enemies. An intelligent writer expresses himself on this subject to this effect—'NEIGHBOURING NATIONS (says he) are naturally ENEMIES of each other, unless their common weakness forces them to league in a CONFEDERATE REPUBLIC, and their constitution prevents the differences that neighbourhood occasions, extinguishing that secret jealousy, which disposes all States to aggrandize themselves at the expence of their neighbours.' (L) This passage, at the same time points out the EVIL and suggests the REMEDY.

No. II.
THE government of Athens was a democracy. The people, as is usual in all democratical governments, were constantly alarmed at the spectre of ARISTOCRACY; and it was common in that republic as it is in the republics of America to pay court to them by encouraging their jealousies, and gratifying their prejudices. Pericles to ingratiate
himself with the citizens of Athens, whose favor was necessary to his ambition, was a principal agent in mutilating the privileges and the power of the court of AREOPAGUS; an institution acknowledged by all historians to have been a main pillar of the State. The pretence was that it promoted the POWER of the ARISTOCRACY.
The same man undermined the constitution of his country to ACQUIRE popularity—squandered the treasures of his country to PURCHASE popularity—and to avoid being accountable to his country precipitated it into a war which ended in its destruction. Pericles was, nevertheless, a man endowed with many amiable and shining qualities, and, except in a few instances, was always the favorite of the people.

V I E N N A, August 22.
Last Sunday the 20th instant, the Deputies of the Belgic provinces had their final audience of the Emperor, with which they had reason to be very well satisfied. They relate on this subject that, encouraged by the good offices and affability with which the Emperor spoke to them in this last audience, they besought his Majesty to repair in person to the Low Countries. On which the Emperor, taking off his hat, holding it in his hand, said to them, 'You see I have only a black cockade.' 'Sire,' replied one of the Deputies immediately, that will not hinder your faithful Brabanters from throwing themselves at your Majesty's feet, if you will grant them the favor they ask for.' The day after this audience six of the Deputies set off for their respective countries, and the rest will immediately follow. The result of the long and frequent conferences they had with the Emperor, is, as far as we can tell, chiefly as follows: the Emperor absolutely requires the States to put every thing in the same state they were at the time of the publication of the imperial ordinances concerning the establishment of Intendants, and the new regulating of justice; in consequence of which he desires the subsidy to be re-established; that those who were employed and dismissed be recalled, and those put in their places by the States be sent back; that the injudicious memorials presented to their Royal Highnesses be considered as void, and the concessions they have occasioned as extorted by fear, and of no value: that the Convents, &c. which his Majesty suppressed, be always accounted for; and, finally, that the compacts, with regard to benefices, be abolished without delay.
On the other hand, his Imperial Majesty has assured the Deputies, that there shall be no Intendants and new Tribunals, that the military conscription shall never be established in the Low Countries any more than the territorial impost of forty per cent. and that his Majesty will let the abbies subsist with the enjoyment of their privileges; and when in virtue of these assurances the States have executed the orders of their Sovereign, and restored peace in the provinces, the Emperor promises to take into consideration the remainder of their grievances, and to remedy them without injuring their privileges, which he never intended to infringe in the least; he knows well that the chief matter in question being once decided to the satisfaction of the Belgic provinces it will be difficult for the States to form any other pretensions. From these circumstances it is therefore probable that peace and tranquility will be soon re-established in the Low Countries, to the reciprocal advantage of government and its subjects.
H A G U E, Sept. 18.
On Thursday last the Prussian army, under the command of his Serene Highness, the Duke of Brunswick, passed the river at Nimèguen, and advanced from thence in three columns. On their approach, the Rhingrave of Salm evacuated Utrecht, after having nailed up 140 pieces of cannon, which he was obliged to leave behind him, and destroyed, as far as he was able, the powder and other stores, retiring with what he could collect of the garrison, in great disorder, towards Amsterdam and Narden. On Sunday the Prince of Orange's troops entered the towns of Utrecht, Montfort and the Vaart; and no opposition was made in any part of the province.
Intelligence was received at the Hague of Gorcum, Dordt, Schoonhoven, and several other of the principal towns of South-Holland, having surrendered, without bloodshed, to the Duke of Brunswick. The States of Holland issued orders for breaking and disarming the Free Corps; and late this evening they passed a resolution for restoring his Serene Highness the Stadtholder to all his rights and honors, with the command of this garrison; and a deputation is appointed to the Duke of Brunswick, and a letter sent off to invite the Prince of Orange to return to his residence here.
L O N D O N, September 20.
Sunday last, a party of the artillery, with two waggons, laden with proper implements, marched to Dover, with orders to mount the cannon which were dismounted at the peace.
Commodore Corby's Squadron in the Mediterranean is to be immediately re-inforced, in consequence of the rupture between Russia and the Turks.

Sept. 22. An order was yesterday sent off to the Commissioner at Plymouth, to get three more ships of the line ready for sea with the utmost dispatch.

UNITED STATES.
B O S T O N, November 5.
Tuesday last the General Court passed an act for repealing the law made last year, by which the Senate had a negative on the choice of excise officers, &c.
The Hon. Senate, has passed a resolve, by which the bounty given on whale-oil will cease after the 1st of December next.
We are informed, on authority not to be doubted, that the copper coin of this Commonwealth, struck by order of the General Court, will, in a very few days, be in circulation, when, after that time, the coinage of any other State, with the base metal imported from Birmingham, will not be a currency among us.
November 8.
Last Tuesday evening as Mr. Nathaniel Cunningham of Little Cambridge, butcher, was returning home from this town, he was shot on the Neck by four highwaymen, who commanded him to deliver his money; at the same time, two of them presented and snapped loaded pistols at his breast; while a third stood over him with a drawn knife, threatening him with immediate death, if he refused to comply—after a short pause, Mr. Cunningham delivered them his money; they then abused him, and ordered him to go about his business, and immediately fled towards the town; but Mr. Cunningham meeting with timely assistance, they were closely pursued, and two of them were taken at the entrance of the town, and committed to goal the same evening, to receive the just reward of their villainy.
A gentleman from Rhode-Island informs us, that the General Assembly of that State sat last week at South-Kington, and adjourned, without taking any procedure on the new Constitution—offering as a reason therefor, that it had already got to the people through the channels of newspapers, &c. and that the people might consider it as they thought best—and if they pleased to, might adopt it. Is this conduct suited to the dignity of the Legislature of a sovereign State? Or is it the "luff?" proceeding of a time-serving assembly of mob-men?—O shame, where is thy blush?
New-York, November 16.
Extract of a letter received by the Packet Le Courier de l'Europe, Capt. Fournier, arrived yesterday in this port.
"The Archbishop of Toulouze being made Prime Minister, the Marshals of Castris and Segur, Ministers of the marine and war departments, resigned; it is said the former will have the regiment of the guards, in the room of Marechal Byron. The Comte de Montmorin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, acts pro tempore, as Minister of the Marine, to which department the Comte de la Luzerne is appointed, being now Governor of the French Louisiana. Mr. de Villedeuil, Comptroller General, has resigned—the Parliament of Paris is returned to that capital—the Provincial Assemblies are established in all the provinces, and many have been assembled already—the Marquis de la Fayette is in Auvergne, as a principal member of the Assembly of that province; so that the late fracas and political battle in France has rather been useful, in as much as it teaches us to meddle and interest ourselves in our own national concerns. The King's private economy instead of forty millions, is carried to fifty-two, and it is thought that such has been the opposition of all the Parliaments, that neither the Stamp Act nor Territorial Impost will take place—your harvest has been singularly abundant."
The advices by his Most Christian Majesty's Packet Le Courier de l'Europe, respecting Dutch affairs, appear to be similar to those received by the last British Packet.
We learn from Georgia, that martial law is proclaimed throughout that State—that the town of Savannah is strongly fortified by several redoubts and other works thrown up round it,—and that small parties of Indians have committed depredations within 36 miles of Savannah.
The happiness of a State, says a correspondent, consists not in its number or wealth, but in the good disposition, wise regulation and good conduct of its inhabitants. Hence,
That State is happy, whose laws and rulers are good, and its inhabitants industrious, frugal and in a just subordination. And,
That State is wretched and miserable, where pride, idleness and dissipation prevail, men and not laws govern, and the rulers are ignorant, or wicked.
A government without a directing and controuling power, is like a ship w'thout master, pilot or rudder.
A government without faith, is a government without credit; and a government without credit, is a government without energy, and a government without energy, is no government at all. And,
A government too popular borders upon tyranny. Last Wednesday afternoon the brewery of Mr. Livingston, on Long-Island, opposite to this city, unfortunately took fire, and was entirely consumed, together with some adjacent buildings; by which fatal accident the proprietors have sustained a very heavy loss.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Amsterdam, to his friend in this city, dated Amsterdam, Sept. 18, 1787.
"The consternation reigning throughout this city, and our present alarming situation, prevent me from giving you so circumstantial an account as I wish to do. Certainly you never thought that our contests would never have been so serious. In a few days our fate will be decided. A formidable army of 30,000 Prussian troops, provided with a complete park of artillery, spreading a terrible panic through the whole country, is now within our territories, and is rapidly advancing towards this city. On receiving this dreadful news, our city gates were shut and all the bridges drawn up, so that it is at present impossible for any person to leave the place or to enter it. God knows what will become of us; in his power alone will it be to avert the impending calamities. How many families, exposed to the utmost danger, would now be glad to repair to America and there enjoy peace and real liberty, were the extreme distance between us not so very discouraging; for in case our patriots should be compelled to submit, we are determined to leave this, our native country."

On the 21st ult. died at Waccamaw, South-Carolina, after a short illness, Dr. JAMES GILCHRIST, a young gentleman whose pleasing appearance and fine accomplishments, endeared him to all his acquaintance.
On Tuesday evening died in this city, Mr. WILLIAM GREEN, Bookbinder, of Boston, from which place he arrived the same day. He was a gentleman of universal benevolence and philanthropy; much esteemed for his social virtues and courteous deportment; his loss is sincerely regretted by a numerous and respectable acquaintance in this city, of which he was an inhabitant previous to the revolution. His remains were decently interred on Wednesday evening in St. Paul's Church Yard, attended by a great number of sympathising friends and citizens.

State of New-York, Court of Admiralty. Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Gad Wells, and others, Libellants. vs.
Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize, saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Bourke, John Donnan and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M c Cormick for Hyem Cohen, and by William Cock for Richard Hall.
WHEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Fergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Eells and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port Roseway, have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London, in Connecticut, on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 40 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her foremast standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New-York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchandise so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks and numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 10, 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked F. S. 1 hoghead of spirits, marked B. [enclosed with a diamond] No. 6, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 4, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 5, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. R. No. 3, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8, and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9, thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked HOC. fifteen other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the newspapers printed in New-York, the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Bourke and John Donnan, on behalf of John Shannan, master, and Samuel Nesbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M c Kenzie, mariners, and Richard Hall, owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M c Cormick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen, of the Island of Jamaica, hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sales of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq. for and on behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova-Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies, arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M c Kenney and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson, which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said deserted vessel was a flout vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-irons round it, that she had black sides and yellow mouldings, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast, as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck.—Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public motion and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandise, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of the date of this motion and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787.
