St John's, ANTIGUA, Sept. 7, 1787. Private Letters from Dominica, of the se- cond current confirm the dreadful effects of the late storms at that island, and add to the New-Paper accounts already inserted in the paper, that the inhabitants of Prince Rupert's and La Soye quarter are almost totally ruined, having scarcely a building standing, and many of their negroes killed.
The officers and men on the Morne are driven off and not a vestige of any thing re- mains on it. Many of the men are hurt and several of the officers wounded.
The weather seems to be now quite clear- ed up, and this island has, as yet, sustained no damage from the high winds which have been so injurious to our neighbours.
PETERSBURG, Oct. 11.
The following atrocious murder was late- ly committed by a widow-woman, on a young man who has since proved to be her only son, and who had been absent from her for many years:—It appears from the circumstances we have been able to collect, that after having served in the army until the troops were disbanded, he had, by his industry and economy, collected a sum of money, with which he was desirous of pay- ing his mother a visit, and by his presence and assistance, to render the remainder of her days easy and comfortable. Upon his arrival in the neighbourhood where she lived, it was agreed between him and some of his former acquaintances, that he should per- sonate a travelling stranger in search of quar- ters for the night, in order to discover whether his mother would recollect him, as well as to guard against the effects which so unexpect- ed an interview might have upon her. Ac- cordingly in the evening he applied to her, but to no purpose, until, as his last resource, he informed her, that he had a large sum of money with him, which he did not wish to risk by being on the road at a late hour, or lodging at a public house, and of which he desired her to take charge. At this unfor- tunate moment, the demon Avarice appears to have taken full possession of her mind, and to have suggested to her the practicabil- ity of making the golden prize her own, by means almost too horrid for recital. She therefore, as if over-persuaded, consented to his request; and the evening being spent without any discovery on her part, he was lodged in a room to which she had access; and when in a sleep found from fatigue and security, and unsuspecting of his approach- ing fate, she murdered him by cutting his throat from ear to ear. The next day his companions, according to their agreement on their first meeting, went to visit him, supposing he had by that time discovered himself to his mother,—but enquiring for for the young man, she denied that any such person had been there; upon which they declared there had been, and that he was her own son. From a change in her countenance and her still persisting that no person had been there, the young men en- tertained some suspicions, and insisted on searching the house, which being done, and some traces of blood discovered, they ques- tioned her about the cause of it, and from the horror that appeared to seize her, and her invasive answers, they were so far con- firmed in their suspicions of her having mur- dered her son, that they took her into cus- tody, and she is now waiting her doom. She has since made a confession of the crime, the money recovered, and her son's body has been found where she buried it.
NEW-LONDON, Oct. 12.
On the 24th ult. a duel was fought at Halifax, between Captain Dalrymple of the 42d regt. and Lieut. Roberts of the 57th, when the former was wounded in his right arm.
Last Thursday, one Edward Cooper, a foreigner, received 35 stripes at the public post in this city, pursuant to the sentence of the superior court, for theft.
New-York, Oct. 22.
Last Wednesday the General Court of Massachusetts, convened in the town of Bos- ton, agreeably to adjournment.
We hear from Durham that the mills be- longing to his excellency John Sullivan, Esq. were lately set on fire, supposed by some incendiaries, and entirely consumed.
The Worcester Magazine mentions, that in the county of Berkshire in Massachusetts, the Supreme Judicial Court had passed sen- tence of death on William Manning, for treason. This Manning appears to be one of the persons excepted by the Legislature of that State in the act of indemnity of last June. He was an active officer under Pa- rez Hamlin, who made a descent on the town of Stockbridge on the night of the 26th of February last, with about 80 or 100 men, and plundered and captivated many of its respectable inhabitants, and was afterwards defeated in the memorable action of Sheffield. Hamlin yet remains in such a languishing situation of the wounds he then received, as to be unable to take his trial for the crime of treason of which he stands charged.
The BAPTIST Churches belonging to the middle states, lately convened at New-York, in association by their represen- tatives. After forming the particular busi- ness on which they met as a religious body, it was agreed to incorporate with their ge- neral circular letter, the following recom- mendation to their people of the proposed plan of the Federal Government—which redounds much to their honor as a society.
After congratulating their brethren on the great increase of their churches the year past—they proceed, "we also congratulate you on the kind interposition of Divine Pro- vidence visible in that happy unanimity which obtained among the members of the late Federal Convention, to agree upon, and report to the states in this union, a form of Federal Government, which promises, on its adoption, to rescue our dear country from that national dishonor, injustice, anarchy, confusion and blood-shed, which have al- ready resulted from the weakness and ineffi- ciency of the present form, and which we have the greatest reason to fear is but the be- ginning of sorrows, unless the people lay hold on this favorable opportunity offered to establish an EFFICIENT government, which, we hope may, under God, secure our inva- luable rights, both civil and religious, and which it will be in the power of the great body of the people, if hereafter found ne- cessary, to control and amend."
From a Philadelphia Paper, of the 17th inst.
Letters are received by the last post from Boston, which say, that Mr. Gerry, a Mem- ber of the late Federal Convention, is not only censured by the public in general but by his best friends, for not signing the Con- stitution proposed by that august body.
We hear from Virginia, that on the arri- val of Mr. Mason (one of their Delegates in Convention) at Alexandria, he was wai- ted on by the Mayor and Corporation of that Town who told him, they were not come to return him their thanks for his con- duct in refusing to sign the Federal Consti- tution; but to express their abhorrence to it and to advise him to withdraw from that town within an hour for they could not answer for his personal safety, from an en- raged populace, should he exceed that time.
To Messrs. William W. Gilbert, Jeremiah Wool, Cornelius C. Roosevelt, and To- bias Van Zandt, Members of the Corpo- ration of the City of New-York.
Gentlemen, HAVING seen, in Mr. Childs's paper of the 26th ult. a petition presented to the Corporation by Daniel Niven and others, and your report made to the Corporation thereon, I thought it my duty, as a fellow- citizen, to enquire into the subject matter of said report; especially as you have as- serted the petitioners to have been mista- ken, and upon that ground founded your rejection of their petition. It appears that you have acted, on that business, more like attorneys for the persons, whose buildings were complained of in said petition, than judges. 'Tis true, as you report, that you enquired into the allegations and complaint of said petitioners, but of whom did you enquire? No doubt you have examined the owners of said buildings, and heard their councils; but did you enquire of any of the petitioners, or hear their evidences, al- though the propriety of this was suggested to some of your members. Your judgment has been founded on ex parte evidence, while the petitioners were ready to pro- duce disinterested evidences of unquestio- nable veracity, to prove the truth of the facts set forth in their petition. I will beg leave, Gentlemen, to ask, whether you have had an accurate survey of Cortlandt-street to high water mark? If so, you would have found high water mark about 20 feet below the house now occupied by Mr. Ezekiel Crane, and from thence proceeding 93 feet on the range with the said street, gives the grant which you mention, made to Peter Jansen Mesier, in the year 1701, in which grant you could find recorded a street 40 feet wide, there to be left along Hudson's river forever. The corporation could not then grant more than from high to low water mark, according to their charter.
On a map made of these land and wa- ter lots, you could also find the house now building by Abraham Busing, to be on the said grant made to Abraham Mesier in 1760, and not on Peter Jansen Mesier's grant, as you affirm; and you know there is a re- serve of 18 feet for a public street along the slip, in the grant to Abraham Mesier; Abra- ham Busing, and Abraham Vangellder's hou- ses being erected on the ground so reserved, must be an encroachment on the public. The inhabitants of Cortlandt-street gave 5 feet of the front of each of their lots to widen the said street, some of them gave their land under great disadvantages, and the buildings on the north side of said slip were placed by authority 18 feet off the slip, back from the range of said street; and there must be no break on the street left on the other side said slip by authority: now here is a break of 18 feet on the one side by
the same authority, for you positively tell us a break on the other side said slip would spoil the beauty and uniformity thereof.
Gentlemen, On this mode of reasoning I honor your public characters too much to make any re- marks.
To conclude for the present, it is expect- ed that the honorable Corporation will re- sume the said petition, and recommit it, thereby to give the said petitioners a fair opportunity of being heard in support of the allegations contained in the said petition.
A CITIZEN.
October 20.
From the POUGHKEEPSIE ADVERTISER.
A Customer of yours would beg leave to remark, that every federal soul must feel at this moment, a persuasive impulse to congratulate his Countrymen on that fair and wise fabric of government which is now presented for the consideration of America. It discovers so much republican wisdom in the firm and equal balance of the powers of legislation—so much energy in the executive but so well guarded against excess—so much intelligence in the organization of the judi- cial department, and in removing every lo- cal impediment to the harmony of the whole; that he does not hesitate to yield it his ready and most unreserved admiration. It is arm- ed to be sure with all the customary powers of sovereignty, but those powers are no more than necessary to the uniformity of the plan, and to give the system its proper balance, and beautiful proportion. They exist in full latitude in all our state Constitutions.—They are indeed co-existent with every effective government on earth, and therefore our true and only ground of security in this as well as in every other representative republic, consists in the election, the rotation, and the responsibility of those men to whom the ad- ministration of that government is commit- ted.
Every discerning friend to his country has long wished for a firmer cement to the national Union—for a correct and vigorous administration to recall the violated laws of justice—for respect abroad, and tranquility at home—for protection to our commerce and concert to our resources; in short, for some delegated power that might be able to defend our liberties from without, and to guard against the miseries of civil dissention. Those blessings are now presented to our hands. We ought to examine their na- ture and the foundations on which they are supported. But to examine with candor we presume is only to feel the instantane- ous impressions of ardent gratitude and so- lid conviction. From the anxiety that late- ly vibrated through the breasts of every ho- nest American, and from the warmth and congratulation that now extend the new system in its progress to every quarter, I will almost venture to say that the rubicon is passed, and that the public reputation of America will be impressed for ages on the solid fabric.
Nor am I animated by intemperate zeal. My opinion is founded on a few plain po- litical maxims. For if it be the interest of the American states to be united;—if the only effective and durable bond of Union a- mong states, as well as among individuals, be a coercive government;—if the repub- lican form of government be the safest, and the most compatible with the liberty, the honor and the happiness of mankind; and if the perfection of that form consists in the accurate distribution of the legislative, ex- ecutive and judiciary powers, and in their harmonious union in one coercive point; if these positions be true (and I think they carry their own evidence along with them) the expediency of adopting the new Consti- tution comes as strongly enforced as any thing which can be offered to the human mind.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and Co. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the diffe- rence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye pans, skil- lets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, flues for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for fur- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flut- ing-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close flues for work-shops. Franklin Stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work. Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouces of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread, mill rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron scrows for tilling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, forges, hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundredweight, quarter, fourteen and eleven pound weights; carts, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w
