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 brig Tom, Capt. Lindsay, in nine weeks from Bourdeaux, arrived here on Friday last.
By a gentleman just arrived at Alexandria, from the West-Indies, we learn, that all kinds of American produce are so low there as not to pay freight.
Extract of a letter from London, dated December 5.
"I have this day received a letter from the Consul at Algiers, sent me from the Secretary of State, informing, that Zaccheus Coffin, who was taken in his passage from Dunkirk to Philadelphia, by an Algerine cruiser, died at Algiers the 2d of last month, of a decay of his lungs. It appears by the account received, that he was taken as good care of as could be expected in this country. Perhaps some information of this should be made public, as the Consul has been improperly treated in some of your papers, when I have good reason to conclude he has been kind to such Americans as have had the misfortune to fall into their hands."

STATE OF NEW-YORK. In Assembly, February 16th, 1788.
WHEREAS John Livingston, Esq. of the Manor of Livingston, hath produced to Committees of the Senate and Assembly two certain writings, and which writings have been reported to the Senate and Assembly, the one of them dated the 30th day of November last, purporting to be a lease from the Chiefs and Sachems of the Six Nations of Indians, to him the said John Livingston and others, his associates, for the term of 999 years, on a yearly rent reserved of two thousand Spanish milled dollars, of all that tract of land in the said writing described, as beginning at a place commonly known by the name of Canada Creek, about seven miles West of Fort Stanwix, now Fort Schuyler; thence North-eastwardly to the line of the Province of Quebec; thence along the said line to the Pennsylvania line; thence East on the said line or Pennsylvania line, to the line of property so called by the State of New-York; thence along the said line of property to Canada Creek aforesaid. The other of the said writings dated the 8th day of January last, purporting to be a lease from the Sachems, Chiefs, and Warriors of the Oneida Nation of Indians, to the said John Livingston and his said associates for the said term of nine hundred and ninety-nine years, on a rent reserved for the first year of twelve hundred dollars, and increasing at the rate of one hundred dollars per annum until it shall amount to fifteen hundred dollars, of all those lands in the said writing described, as the tract of land commonly called and known by the territory of the Oneida Indians, with an exception as to several tracts and parcels in the said writing particularly specified; and which said leases were obtained from the said Indians by the said John Livingston and his associates, not under the authority, nor with the consent of the Legislature of this State.
Resolved, as the sense of the Senate and Assembly, that the said leases are purchases of lands, and therefore that, by the Constitution of this State, the said leases are not binding on the said Indians, and are not valid.
Resolved, as the determination of the Legislature, that the force of the State shall from time to time, as occasion may require,

[To be continued.]
The following Remarks on the New Plan of Government are handed us as the substance of Doctor WILLIAMSON's Address to the Freemen of Edenton and the County of Chowan, in North-Carolina, when assembled to instruct their Representatives.
THOUGH I am conscious that a subject of the greatest magnitude must suffer in the hands of such an advocate, I cannot refuse, at the request of my fellow-citizens, to make some observations on the new Plan of Government.
It seems to be generally admitted, that the system of Government which has been proposed by the late Convention, is well calculated to relieve us from many of the grievances under which we have been laboring. If I might express my particular sentiments on this subject, I should describe it as more free and more perfect than any form of government that ever has been adopted by any nation; but I would not say it has no faults. Imperfection is inseparable from every human device. Several objections were made to this system by two or three very respectable characters in the Convention, which have been the subject of much conversation; and other objections, by citizens of this State, have lately reached our ears. It is proper that you should consider of these objections. They are of two kinds; they respect the things that are in the system, and the things that are not in it. We are told that there should have been a section for securing the Trial by Jury in Civil cases, and the Liberty of the Press; that there should also have been a Declaration of Rights. In the new system it is provided, that "The Trial of all crimes, except in cases of Impeachment," shall be by Jury, but this provision could not possibly be extended to all Civil cases. For it is well known that the Trial by Jury is not general and uniform throughout the United States, either in cases of Admiralty or of Chancery; hence it became necessary to submit the question to the General Legislature, who might accommodate their laws on this occasion to the desires and habits of the nation. Surely there is no prohibition in a case that is untouched.
We have been told that the Liberty of the Press is not secured by the New Constitution. Be pleased to examine the plan, and you will find that the Liberty of the Press and the laws of Mahomet are equally affected by it. The New Government is to have the power of protecting literary property; the very power which you have by a special act delegated to the present Congress. There was a time in England, when neither book, pamphlet, nor paper could be published without a licence from Government. That restraint was finally removed in the year 1694. and by such removal, their press became perfectly free, for it is not under the restraint of any licence. Certainly the new Government can have no power to impose restraints. The citizens of the United States have no more occasion for a second Declaration of Rights, than they have for a section in favor of the press. Their rights, in the several States, have long since been explained and secured by particular declarations, which make a part of their several Constitutions. It is granted, and perfectly understood, that under the Government of the Assemblies of the States, and under the Government of the

Congress, every right is reserved to the individual, which he has not expressly delegated to this, or that Legislature. The other objections that have been made to the new plan of Government, are: That it absorbs the powers of the several States: That the national Judiciary is too extensive: That a standing army is permitted: That Congress is allowed to regulate trade: That the several States are prevented from taxing exports, for their own benefit.
When Gentlemen are pleased to complain, that little power is left in the hands of the separate States; they should be advised to cast an eye upon the large code of laws, which have passed in this State since the peace. Let them consider how few of those laws have been framed, for the general benefit of the Nation. Nine out of ten of them, are domestic; calculated for the sole use of this State, or of particular citizens. There must still be use for such laws, though you should enable the Congress to collect a revenue for National purposes, and the collection of that revenue includes the chief of the new powers, which are now to be committed to the Congress.
Hitherto you have delegated certain powers to the Congress, and other powers to the Assemblies of the States. The portion that you have delegated to Congress is found to have been useless, because it is too small, and the powers that are committed to the Assemblies of the several States, are also found to be absolutely ineffectual for national purposes, because they can never be so managed as to operate in concert. Of what use is that small portion of reserved power? It neither makes you respectable nor powerful. The consequence of such reservation is national contempt abroad, and a state of dangerous weakness at home. What avails the claim of power, which appears to be nothing better than the empty whistling of a name? The Congress will be chosen by yourselves, as your Members of Assembly are. They will be creatures of your hands, and subject to your advice. Protected and cherished by the small addition of power which you shall put into their hands, you may become a great and respectable nation. [Remainder To-morrow.]

To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and Assembly convened.
The Petition of the Congregation of the Reformed German Church of the German Flats, of the County of Montgomery, Most Humbly Sheweth,
THAT HANS DEDRICK STALEY, and others, by Indenture, bearing date the 18th day of September, 1765, conveyed to Peter Remsen, late of the City of New-York, merchant, deceased, Lots No. 45, 46, and 47, in a patent granted to Rudolph Staley, and 16 others, situate, lying and being on the south side of the Mohawk River, at a place called the German Flats, in the County aforesaid, to have and to hold the said three Lots of Land, unto the said Peter Remsen, his Heirs and Assigns, in trust for the maintenance and support of the officiating Minister of the Gospel for the time being, of the church aforesaid: That the said Hans Dedrick Staley, and the rest of the grantees aforesaid, gave the said Conveyance under an impression that the said premises above-mentioned would be for the benefit of the Church aforesaid, and not for the maintenance of the officiating Minister thereof only, which will appear by the Certificate hereunto annexed, signed by the present officiating Minister: That several of the parties to the said Indenture have since died, and some of the Heirs are Minors: That others of the said parties have been attainted for adhering to the enemy, during the late war, and their estates forfeited to the people of this State. Great inconveniences arise to your Petitioners, of the said Church, and the present Minister thereof, from the execution of the said trust by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, by reason of the distance they live at from the said land: And that the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen are desirous of being exonerated from the further execution of the said trust. Thus circumstanced, your Petitioners are advised that the interposition of the Legislature is necessary to prevent all future inconveniences arising from the execution of the trust aforesaid, by the Heirs of the said Peter Remsen, to insure the advantages which the Grantees of the said trust intended the Church aforesaid should derive from it.
YOUR Petitioners therefore pray, That the Honorable the Legislature will be pleased to pass an Act, to direct an assignment of the said trust to or vest the said land in the Trustees and their Successors, for the sole benefit and behoof of their said Church, or to grant unto your Petitioners such other relief, in the Premises, as to the Honorable the Legislature shall seem meet. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
