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.

NEW-YORK, March 12.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Richmond, dated Feb. 28, to his friend in Philadelphia.
"We had great rejoicings here yesterday, by the Federal men, on account of the ratification of the New Constitution by the State of Massachusetts. The citizens assembled at the Union Tavern, about twelve o'clock, and hoisted up a flag on the top of the house, and kept it up till about eleven o'clock at night, when each repaired to his habitation pretty mellow with Madeira: a number of cannon were fired on this occasion. Next Monday our election comes on for the Convention: I expect the Governor and Mr. Marshall will be elected, as there seems to be little or no opposition."
Yesterday arrived the sloop New-York Packet, Fairbank, from Rhode-Island.
Last Tuesday se'nnight, Mrs. ELIZABETH HOLT, relict of the late Mr. John Holt, Printer to this State, expired in Philadelphia, in the 61st year of her age, and on Thursday her remains were decently interred in Christ Church burial ground, attended by a large concourse of very respectable citizens.
HOUSE of ASSEMBLY, P O U G H K E E P S I E.
Wednesday, March 5, 1788.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
The Bill to naturalize the persons therein named:
The Bill to remove Pitt's Statue:
The tax Bill:
The Bill to enable the Mayor, &c. of Albany, to raise 500l. for the purpose of maintaining a night watch; and
The Bill to prevent the firing of woods; were severally read a third time and passed the House.
The King's County road Bill was read a second time. On the motion for commitment,
Mr. Doughty moved to reject it: on this question being taken, it was carried in the negative.
The Bill was then committed to a Committee of the whole.
The Attorney General made a report on the petition of Abraham Hodge, and on the petition of Anne W'Adam; which were referred to a Committee of the whole, when on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts.
Mr. Thomson, from the Committee to whom was referred the petitions of Swan Fleming, and Effa Job, reported, that they were proper objects for the interposition of the Legislature; and that a clause should be added to some proper Bill for their relief: the said report was referred to the Committee of the whole, when on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts.
A petition of Petrus Haasbrook and others, of Ulster County, praying that a law may be passed to enable debtors to satisfy executions with any real or personal property, to be valued by appraisement, was read; when Mr. Schoonmaker moved to have it committed.
Mr. Jones could not see what good end would be answered by committing it: he wished it to be laid on the table.
Mr. Brooks would agree to lay it on the table; the petition was of such a nature as not to merit the least countenance.
Mr. Schoonmaker thought it would be very extraordinary to lay a petition of that nature on the table. They stated to the Legislature certain distresses that they labor under, with decency and propriety, and ask for relief; and ought they not to be heard? It would be cruelty, he said, to lay it on the table. Let it be reported on, and if any thing can be done to alleviate their misfortunes, it was the duty of the House to do it.
Mr. Jones said, it was certainly proper that the Legislature should hear the petitions of the people upon all occasions; he was far from wishing to throw any discouragements in the way of petitions, but to say that they ought to be committed because they were decent, when it was impossible to grant the prayer thereof, was no argument with him.
On the motion for laying it on the table, carried in the negative.
Mr. Doughty then moved that the prayer be not granted.
Mr. Benfon asked if there was a Member who supposed the prayer of the petition could be granted? The petition, he said, ought not to be committed. The moment any propositions of that kind were attended to, all public confidence would be destroyed. He therefore moved that the petition be rejected.
Mr. Brooks said, there was no stronger argument than experience. In New-Jersey, there had been a law similar to the one prayed for, but the flagrant injustice committed under it, soon obliged the Legislature to repeal it. It would be impossible to transmit the corner of a rocky hill across
the Atlantic, to pay for what we owe there. It was better that individuals should submit to partial evils, than to suffer an universal calamity.
Mr. Jones said, his motion for laying it on the table, having been decided against him, he would second the motion for rejecting it. This spirit, he thought, should be nipped in the bud.
Mr. Dongan said, tho' he was opposed to laying the petition on the table, he was equally opposed to granting the prayer of it. He did not think, that laying it on the table would be a proper decision.
Mr. Jones. Suppose, said he, a number of people were to petition to have the Constitution repealed, would any man say that the petition should be committed? Whenever people petition for things that cannot be granted, it should be decided on immediately; and there was no way more ready, than that of laying it on the table. He had moved for such a decision in the first instance, from a conviction, that the very consideration of it would be mischievous.
Mr. Schoonmaker said, it was not a long time, since similar propositions had been brought before the House. He was clear, that in the present situation of the country, something must be done. Gentlemen, acquainted with the country, knew the distresses of it, better than others; he knew that they set forth truths; unequivocal truths; for their effects were seized by executions, and sold for trifles. The Legislature, he was convinced, must provide something for them.
Mr. Benfon said, the gentleman was mistaken, if he supposed he could judge better than others; no person he believed was more able to judge than himself; he had been so fully persuaded of the distressed situation of the country, that he had not, within these four years, issued an execution, his constant advice had been against it. But it was impossible to relieve them; it was their misfortune, and nothing could be done.
The motion was then changed by Mr. Jones, who proposed the following resolution: "That the prayer of the petition ought not to be granted."
On this question, a division was taken. Affirmative. —Messrs. Jones, Carman, Cornwall, Dongan, Winant, Taulman, Nevin, J. Smith, Doughty, Wyckoff, Sylvester, Baker, De Witt, Gilbert, Van Orden, Frey, Powers, Webster, Savage, Bruyn, Bloom, P. Cantine, Benfon, Hedges, Osborn, Sands, Low, Verplanck, Sickles, Younglove, Brooks, Thomson, Lewis, Drake, Winn, Lockwood. 36.
Negative. —Messrs. Patterson, Arent, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Graham, Clinton, N. Smith, Clark, Veeder. 9.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had concurred to the amendments to the Bill for the relief of William Chase.
Mr. Powers, from the Committee to whom was referred the petition of Elizabeth Phelps, and others, reported, that the prayer thereof ought to be granted. The said report was referred to the Committee of the whole, when on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts.
Went into Committee on the Bill for the relief of Jacob Morton:
Col. Drake in the Chair.
This Bill was warmly advocated by Mr. Brooks, Mr. Harrison and the Speaker; who set forth the merits of the petitioners and the justice of his claim on the candor, the generosity, and the justice of the State.
But they were opposed by Mr. Sickles, Mr. Silverter, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Benfon; who alledged that it would be a partial provision, as there were many deserving characters in the same situation, and who had an equal claim on the State.
After a short time spent in the consideration of the subject, the question was called, when the Bill was negatived as follows.
For the Affirmative. Messrs. Jones, Cornwall, Dongan, Winant, Niven, Doughty, Wyckoff, Speaker, Van Orden, Tillotson, Bloom, P. Cantine, Graham, Sands, Verplanck, Brooks, Lewis, Harrison, N. Smith. 19.
Negative. Messrs. Carman, Taulman, J. Smith, Sylvester, Baker, Patterson, De Witt, Gilbert, Strang, Fry, Arent, Powers, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Bruyn, Benfon, Hedges, Osborn, Low, Wisner, Sickles, Younglove, Clinton, Thompson, Winn, Clark, Lockwood, Veeder. 30.
Majority, 11.
The Committee then rose, and reported accordingly.
Mr. Benfon moved for leave, and brought in a Bill for establishing the salaries of the Chancellor, and Judges of this State; which was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
Went into Committee on the Bill for compelling the payment of the taxes heretofore laid, for building a Court-House and Gaol in Duchess County:
Col. Bruyn in the Chair.
The Committee having agreed to the Bill, rose and reported the same; when it was ordered to be engrossed.
The Bill to prevent frauds in the sale of lands, purchased from the Indians, without
the authority of the State; was read a second time and committed.
Went into Committee on the Bill, for the more effectual collection of the arrears of taxes, heretofore made payable in public certificates:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair.
After some time spent thereon, the Committee rose and reported progress.
Went into Committee on the Bill for extinguishing fires in the town of Brooklyn, in King's County:
Mr. Cornwall in the Chair.
After some time spent thereon, the Committee rose and reported progress.
[The remainder of this day's proceedings in another paper.]
Thursday, March 6.
Col. Thomas, of Westchester, attending in the House, was qualified and admitted to his seat.
The Bill for compelling the payment of the taxes heretofore laid for building a Gaol and Court-House in Duchess County, was read a third time and passed the House.
Mr. Brooks moved for leave and brought in a Bill to prevent frauds by bills of sale in the Counties therein mentioned; which was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
A message was received from the Senate, agreeing to the amendments of the House to the Bill for removing Pitt's Statue.
The Bill to establish the salary of the Chancellor and Judges, was read a second time and committed.
Went into Committee on the Bill to prevent frauds by sales of land purchased from the Indians without the authority of this State:
Mr. Lewis in the Chair.
After some time spent thereon, the Committee rose and reported their progress.
Went into Committee on the King's County Road Bill:
Mr. Winn in the Chair.
Mr. Doughty moved to have the Bill rejected. He was opposed by Mr. Sands and Mr. Jones, who proposed that the decision of the Bill should be postponed till the next session, and in the mean time, that the petition, and the said Bill, should be published for the consideration of the inhabitants of King's County.
Mr. Doughty persisting in his motion for rejecting the Bill:
A division was called for.
Affirmative. —Messrs. Carman, Doughty, Wyckoff, Baker, De Witt, Gilbert, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Hedges, Low, Wisner, Clinton, Drake, Clarke, Lockwood, Veeder, Thomas. 18.
Negative. —Messrs. Jones, Dongan, Winant, Taulman, Nevin, J. Smith, Sylvester, Patterson, Strang, Speaker, Van Orden, Frey, Arent, Powers, Bruyn, Bloom, Benfon, Osborn, Sands, Sickles, Verplanck, Younglove, Brooks, Thomson, Lewis, N. Smith. 26.

[To be continued.]
To CANDIDUS.
I was out of town when you were pleased to arraign my criticisms on the Heiress ; and you were pleased, in a very polite manner, to observe, that I sacrificed truth to partiality. I am unacquainted with the ladies, and feel no other prepossession, but what (I think) my judgment warrants, as to their theatrical merit; and every man, whose feelings are alive, must feel ardent, and not damn "with faint praise" such personal graces and beauties. I never considered Miss Alton as a maid, but as a humble companion and reduced lady; but Mrs. H. deserved (I thought) a gentle
censure for acting it with the manners and dress of a Soubrette .—I will appeal to the world, whether she assisted this beautiful and finished picture of Gayville:—
"No, Clifford, her dress was such as a judicious painter would chuse to characterize modesty. But natural grace and elegance shone upon the observation, and, through the simplicity of a Quaker, shewed all we could conceive of a Goddess.—I gaz'd and turn'd idolater."
The performance of this interesting character should have been praised, not by plaudits, but by the sympathetic tears of the women; and sighs only should have disturbed the tranquillity of the House.
If Mrs. M. could have been spared from the character of the vivacious and spirited Lady Emily, and had taken Miss Alton, this compliment, "when nature form'd her, she broke the mould," would have been apropos, and the sublime and pompous General would not have been charged with an extravagant hyperbole.
SARATOGA.
Mr. CHILDS,
Sir,
I have observed that a petition is circulating in this city, addressed to the honorable Corporation, on the subject of supplying the inhabitants with water, through the medium of conduits. The terms are favorable; but perhaps not the most so that the nature of the case admits. It is the opinion of many, that a plan may be adopted to reduce the expence far below the usual estimates; so much indeed as to place the object within the ability of the Corporation. The money would not all be wanting in one year. A few of the principal streets might be supplied first. The inhabitants there are most numerous, most in want of this article, and best able to pay for it. From the proceeds of these, the works might be gradually extended to such others as comparatively would cost least, and produce most, till the whole were supplied. Five, or at most, six years, would be sufficient to complete the purpose with little or no additional expence to the people. If, however, the funds of the Corporation should at any time prove deficient, multitudes of individuals would be found ready and willing to advance a small sum each, to be repaid in annual supplies of water at the usual rates. The current charges of this system, after it was once established, might be nearly, if not wholly defrayed by a reduction of the expences of public and private pumps, and the sums collectable from the shipping in the harbor. A liberal supply of good water would be very useful and agreeable, equally conducive to the health and protection of the citizens. But a monopoly of it in favor of any man, or number of men, will be neither useful nor agreeable. Three thousand pounds per annum is a serious item in the list of city charges; a small degree of exertion will rid the citizens of the payment of it for ever: and it will be mortifying and grievous, if the parsimony of a moment should be suffered to frustrate a perpetual system of real economy. If the resources of the Corporation are incompetent to the purpose, will it not be advisable for the wisdom of that body to sketch out a suitable plan, and advertise for undertakers? The object is important, and would immediately attract the talents and capitals of men most eminent for both. A strong competition would be awakened, and probably bring forth more advantageous proposals. The attempt is easy; the expence trifling; nothing will be hazarded, and something may be gained. At least, the Corporation will have done their duty; the public mind will be at ease; and if better conditions should not be offered, the present ones may be embraced, and will meet with more extensive countenance and support.
March 10. A CITIZEN.
To Mr. C-e G-e R-n H-s, Esq. and Captain J-n W-d, at G-sh-n.
Gentlemen,
YOU have lately been made popular by having your names introduced into the public prints, for your conduct in sitting (in conjunction with four other colleagues from the county of Ulster) as a Committee to advise, as is said, upon the New Constitution, &c. at Montgomery, or Ward's-bridge, on Thursday, the 7th ult. Admitting it to be true beyond contradiction, that you were the persons as named on that Committee, I take the liberty to address you upon the occasion.
Believe me, Gentlemen, that after hearing of such intended meeting, as that wherein you have represented your country, I could not imagine that you would degrade yourselves to such a degree, and at the same time lose that respect which was before due to you, from public and open confessions of your love for peace, justice, piety, &c. as to have met with such an intent; much less to have sat in such capacity with a rabble of loose and inconsiderate men. Had you expected to have seen there a large concourse of the most respectable inhabitants, or a few of those who were learned in politics or skilled in legislation, I should not

wonder so much at your conduct. But for you, who reside in the neighborhood, and who are so well acquainted with the characters of the place, such an apology cannot be expected. Besides, Gentlemen, leaving the public at large to judge what might have been your expectations on this business, I would ask, by what authority you held your seats in that Committee, as Representatives from the county of Orange? I have heard of no meeting for the purpose of delegating you to this office, or any thing of the kind, previous to the completion of your undertaking. It must therefore be presumed, that you were only the Representatives of a single street in the town of Goshen, and I believe not of that wholly, in contradiction to the greater influence of a few Federal characters in the public opinion of the place.
Thus deputed, did you imagine, Gentlemen, that your decisions would have had the advantage of those better supported by ability, and better suited to the reasonings of the surrounding world? Or that your conduct would have been pattern'd in other counties in this State, or in other parts of the same county? If so, you are greatly deceived; and in the reverse, may see, that, instead of a like rash proceeding, there has been a very adviseable and well-conducted meeting in the town of Elopus, in the same county; such a meeting as, in the face of your's, shews to the world how despicable, at all times, the proceedings of a mob are, to wise and considerate men.
I shall not attempt to set forth your characters, as men who have only erred on this occasion; lest I should introduce to my Fellow Citizens those, who, before this, have never been known in, or thought fit for, any public capacity.
I am Gentlemen, Your Friend and Adviser, A COUNTRYMAN. New-York, March, 10th 1788.
