L O N D O N, May 1-5.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the Oberley, Wimpou, China, Nov. 30, 1787, brought over by the Wycombe East Indiaman.
"We met with a very extraordinary circumstance in the Chinese Seas, which may afford some news as matter of conversation among gentlemen concerned in our shipping. A large ship appeared in sight one morning (Sept. 12, in lat. 10, north, long about 110, east) which spoke us about noon under French colors; she appeared a 32 gun frigate. Nobody could understand a word they said. She passed us very fast, and at some little distance a head began to run out her guns, and make every warlike preparation. We saw on her stern wrote La Calypso ; we were much astonished; had various conjectures; the most prevailing one was, that she was a pirate. The Captain and officers gave orders instantly to prepare our ship for defence; not withstanding all our guns were in the hold except ten, and a great deal of lumber on the gun deck, yet every thing was cleared with the utmost alacrity; the ten guns loaded; matches lighted; every man at his quarters; all silent, and not the least thing on deck in the way. In this state we waited the event, while the seeming enemy was bearing down upon us in a very formidable manner; her top masts, rigging, stuff, with hammocks; 32 guns ran out; ten taken out, and crowded with men at all quarters. We kept on under easy sail, expecting every moment they would fire into us."
"They hailed us again; but still we could barely perceive it was French. We have a Frenchman among our crew, and the Captain's cook is a foreigner, who speaks that language. We could just make out that she was a King's ship, and some unintelligible words, among which were "respecte." Capt. Clarkson desired the top-gallant sails to be lowered, on which the Frenchman made sail, and in an hour was out of sight. We could hardly understand, at last, that it was that homage he wanted. It was evident, however, that it was so. Our men, with true British spirit, were so eager to commence action, notwithstanding the vast superiority of force, that an accident had like to have happened from their ardor. I have been more particular on this article, as it has made so great a stir at Canton, that there is no doubt it will be a subject of much conversation in England. It was a national insult. Captain C—— has been unjustly blamed by some here for not fighting; but I assure you it was not for want of courage. Nothing could be more cool, yet spirited, than the officers in preparing the ship for an engagement, if necessary."
"We found the ship lying at Macao, when we arrived there. Some say the commander is a French Chevalier, commodore of four French men of war at Macao; that he said he was drunk at the time he came up with us, or he should not have behaved so."
"There seems some scheme militating against us by the French. By the treaty of peace, no ships of war of either nation are to remain in India. They have four already at Macao, and several at Pondicherry. They seem to be making out, and pretend they have come to assist the Portuguese in their possessions at this place."
— MAY 5. —
"At a meeting of the monied people on Thursday, friends to a certain banking house near Cheapside, Sir Wm. Bloner was called to the chair. One of the partners attended, and declared that they were under acceptances to the amount of 165,000, and that unless 100,000 could be raised for them, it would be impossible to go on. After a good deal of investigation into the concerns of the house, the meeting broke up without coming to any satisfactory determination, or any material offer of assistance. One thousand pounds only, we are informed, were offered; and for the credit of the person who made this generous offer we mention his name—Sir Benjamin Hammett."
A deputation of the Bank Directors on Friday last waited on Mr. Pitt at his house in Downing Street, relative to the baneful effects which must inevitably follow the recent stoppages, unless some measures were adopted, without delay, to counteract them; this interview took place in consequence of an application to the Bank from the parties nearly interested, to honor bills to the amount of about half a million. This proposal the Directors did not think it prudent to agree to, but waited on Mr. Pitt to lay the circumstances before him."
The magnitude of the pending destruction to a large number of persons, particularly those in the cotton and linen manufactures, may in some measure be estimated, when it is considered that one of the principal houses employs no less than 13 riding agents; four in England, one in Scotland, two in Ireland, one in the Islands, two in America, one in the West-Indies, and two in the East-Indies. The returns of the house were, upon average, from 1800. to 2200. per day.
Fifteen of the most capital retail shops entirely depended on this house, and of course are equally involved.
The French Ministry are going to erect a new form of government for Flanders, where at present there is not any Provincial Assembly, and if it is found to answer, they intend that all the Generalities, which at present have those Assemblies, shall be altered according to the new plan. This will probably prevent opposition to the King's will.
D U B L I N, May 6.
Such was the effect of the London stoppages on our Exchange, yesterday, that no business whatsoever was transacted—not a single bill bought. On enquiry we do not find that the calamity will extend to the country, only that the scene of confusion is so general at present in London, that the merchants are at a loss who, after the moment, to confide in—A few posts will clear up this business, and we trust reinstate Irish credit on a firmer basis.
Mr. Livsey, principal to one of the houses which have just stopped payment in London, it is said on the signature of the French Commercial Treaty, cleared eighty thousand pounds on a speculation in calicoes.
The cause, it is said, that in a great measure has occasioned the late prodigious failures in London, was an unsuccessful and as it has appeared impracticable attempt to keep up the price of cotton wool throughout Europe.
So attentive is the virtuous Buckingham Administration to encroach the influence of the Crown in this kingdom, that we can assert from undoubted authority, that the Mastership of the Rolls was offered to the Right Hon. Mr. Daly, if he would accept it without the patronage, which offer he having very properly declined, it remains to be seen in what manner it will be conferred on Mr. Grenville, who is certainly to be appointed to it.
Letters Patent have been passed under the Great Seal of this kingdom, constituting and appointing the Right Hon. Lieutenant General William Augustus Pitt, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces in this kingdom, or the Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces for the time being; the Right Hon. James Cuffe, Ponsonby Moore, Wm. Handcock, and Robert Langrishe, Esqrs. and Colonel David Dundas, together with the Hon. Geo. Jocelyn, George Ralston and Charles Henry Coote,
Esqrs. in the room of James Cavendish, Fitzherbert Richards, and Ralph Ward, Esqrs. to be Commissioners and Overseers of Barracks, &c.
N E W - Y O R K, July 8.
Jamaica, Queen's County, July 7.
Last Friday being the anniversary of our glorious Independence, the same was celebrated here in the following manner.
The ringing of bells and thirteen discharges of musketry announced the auspicious day. An elegant dinner was provided, at which a very respectable number of Gentlemen (mostly Federalists) were present. The general satisfaction felt on this occasion was too conspicuous in the countenances and conduct of each person present to pass unnoticed. In short, the utmost friendship and cordiality subsisted, and the business of the day was conducted with much order and regularity.
After dinner, Mr. Francis Lewis, jun. in the Chair, the following toasts accompanied with 13 volleys of small arms, were given:—The toasts were drunk with additional relish on the news of the all important and happy event of the accession of Ten States to the new Federal government.
 1. The Congress of the United States.  2. General Washington.  3. The memory of General Montgomery and the heroes who fell in defence of American Liberty.  4. His Most Christian Majesty, and our Allies.  5. May Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures flourish in the United States.  6. The members of the late General Convention.  7. The Ten Adopting States of the new Constitution.  8. Our fellow citizens of the Cincinnati; may their virtues in private life, be as conspicuous as their valor has been in the field.  9. May wisdom and unanimity pervade the councils of the United States.  10. May the new Government ensure peace and tranquillity at home, and command credit and respectability abroad.  11. May a spirit of industry and economy be diffused throughout these States.  12. May the citizens of America consider themselves as a band of brothers, and ever nourish federal sentiments.  13. The DAY. 
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Betsy, Leeds, from Richmond in 5 days.
In our CONVENTION, on Tuesday last, Mr. M. SMITH opened the debates of the day by an explanation of his arguments of the day before.
The MAYOR of New-York followed him by a long and well detailed speech in answer to the objections that had been made against the clause under consideration (sect. 8, art. 1). In the course of his observations, he produced a variety of papers to show the folly of relying on requisitions (the mode intended by the amendment) and in particular an extract from the Circular Letter of his Excellency General Washington, by which he proved, that the difficulties and procrastination of the war were attributable to that mode of supplying the common wants of the general government. He was about two hours on his legs; and having gone through and fairly answered the objections that had been made by the opposite party, concluded with an apology for the length of time he had taken up, and an exhortation to the Members to be calm and conciliatory in their proceedings.—After him, Mr. Jay rose, who applauded Mr. Duane's speech in very high terms; and observed, that as every thing had been urged, which was pertinent to the occasion, he should only give his opinion in favor of the paragraph without any amendment; and he explained the idea of concurrent jurisdiction, by which the state governments are to be supported, in a very clear and able manner.
When Mr. Jay sat down, Mr. JONES took an opportunity of rising, and with his usual ingenuity stated some objections to the idea of a concurrent jurisdiction; observing at the same time, that if such a thing did exist, he should consider it as one of the greatest defects of the proposed Constitution.—He was followed by the CHANCELLOR, who, in a fine vein of humor, exposed the arguments of the opposition; compared ludicrously the reasoning of one to that of another, and placed in the most striking and picturesque point of view the absurdities and contradictions of all. He gave his fine imagination full scope, in fancies that would do honor to a Chesterfield or a Courtenay. The bursts of applause, which he received from every side, seemed to add energy to his genius, and his whole speech was a stream of delicate satire and truly Attic eloquence. Even those who felt most sensibly the lashes of his wit, were captivated with his fancy, and were forced to join the general laugh. Nor was his address a mere exercise of sportive imagination; his wit served only to give keenness to the edge of his arguments, and to make their impression irresistible.
When the Chancellor sat down, a motion was made for the Committee to rise, and the Convention adjourned.
The opposition, mortified in the most poignant degree, prepared industriously to give a report the next morning. Accordingly the battery was opened on the next day (July 2) by Mr. Gilbert Livingston, a kinsman of the Chancellor, with a serious and illiberal invective.—Not being possessed either of talents for repartee or abilities to reason, he answered the Chancellor with personal abuse—accused him of being an Infidel and a Tory—and loaded him with epithets, which painted a monster instead of the most amiable of men. So provoked an attack excited in both parties the utmost disgust. The sentiments in the features of his friends was evidenced by a look of melancholy disgust; in those of his enemies by a smile of inefable disdain; some of his party even left the room with apparent indignation.
Having finished, he sat down, not with a countenance of conscious confusion; not with that look of sorrowful perplexity, which men of sense and sensibility feel when the warmth of an unguarded moment has exposed them to censure or contempt; but with a calm invariable composure, and a self-satisfied felicity of face. This most generous man was followed by the Hon. JOHN WILLIAMS, who came forth a doughty champion, and brandished his falchion in a most gigantic style.—He brandished it a while; but could not find his foe. All around looked on the glittering blade with a sweet complacency, which robbed him of his rage; and after a few harmless circles in the air, he restored the mighty weapon peaceful to its scabbard.
Mr. M. SMITH rose, and with sufficient decency and considerable ingenuity, together with a tolerable dash of humor, retorted on the Chancellor.—His wit seemed to have no tincture of malevolence, not to be aimed at the person or character, but the arguments and imagination of his antagonist.—His rally, however, did not, like that of the Chancellor, spring spontaneous and sudden from the occasion; it seemed more premeditated and artificial; and, as was remarked of Demosthenes' Oration, smelt of the lamp.
The CHANCELLOR then rose, and replied to each one's attack, with perfect temper and the most engaging good humor.—In particular, he ad-
ressed his honorable relation, who had the most cruelly assaulted him; lamented pathetically that his worthy kinsman, regardless of their common ancestry and the tender ties of blood, should have aimed his dagger too at the bosom of his friend:—And exclaimed with affectionate atonishment, in the words of Cæsar, "and thou too Brutus."—The Chancellor's former speech showed the rich extent of his fancy; in the present all were amazed with the instantaneous elasticity of his genius.—In the former his wit was a pure, but delightful varying current; in the latter, it was an electrical shock.
After the Chancellor was seated, on the motion of Mr. JONES, the committee proceeded to take up the next clause, which authorises Congress to make loans: Here Mr. LANSING proposed an amendment, restricting Congress from making any loans, but by the concurrence of two-thirds of both Houses. This proposition occasioned some debate, in which Mr. JAY, Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. HARRISON, and the CHIEF JUSTICE, bore a part; they showed, in the clearest manner, the impropriety and dangerous consequence of such an amendment.—Those who supported the amendment, were Mr. M. SMITH, Mr. LANSING, and the GOVERNOR: while the Governor was speaking, Col. Livingston, who arrived at Poughkeepsie, in 9 hours and 1-4 from this city, made his appearance in the Convention Chamber, with the interesting intelligence of the ratification of Virginia, which occasioned such a buzz through the House, that little of his Excellency's speech was heard.
The debate on Mr. LANSING's motion having subsided, Mr. JONES brought forward another amendment, to the clause which enables Congress to establish Post-offices and Post-roads—His amendment was to restrict Congress from laying or requiring any roads, without the consent of the Legislature of the State in which the same may be. This instead of a debate, created much laughter, and the committee with a view of taking time to consider of the importance of the motion, rose and adjourned.
In the afternoon, a respectable number of Federalists, whose exultations on the happy news from Virginia, were too great to be confined to their own breasts, had a meeting to congratulate each other, fired ten cannon in honor of the ten adopting States, and with three huzzas sent the welcome news to their friends in the country.
Thursday the Convention made some considerable progress in the business before them, having got quite through the first article of the Constitution. This great expedition however, was owing to the Federalists taking no notice of the string of amendments that were offered: indeed the silence of the Federalists seemed to confound the opposition, who in about two hours, having offered all the amendments they could then think of, moved for an adjournment in order that they might have time to prepare more against the next morning.
The 2d article was then to be taken up, and we understand that Mr. M. Smith intends making three objections to the executive.—1st, that he shall not in person command the army or navy, without the consent of Congress. 2d, that he shall be ineligible after four years; and 3d, that he shall not have power to grant pardons in cases of treason.
A Correspondent has favored us with the following Account of a very interesting Improvement in the Science of Mechanics, lately made in England, which we insert for the Benefit of the Public.
"A common Block-Pulley, 6 1/2 Inches Diameter, and 1 1/2 thick, boxed with Brass 1 1/2 Inch Diameter, in which are fixed seven wooden Rollers (but may be Brass or Iron) half an Inch Diameter, and are so placed as nearly to touch each other, forming a circle, and are secured in this Position between two brass circular Plates, the Diameter of which is 1 1/2 Inch, the Width a Quarter of an Inch, through which, and through each Roller, a riveted Axis passes, so that each end of every Axis easily plays in the said connecting circular Plates, the whole having an appearance somewhat like a trundlehead, or what some call the Lanthorn of a Mill, but may be fitly termed the Trundle: This Trundle is secured in the pulley by a ring of wire placed in the groove of the brass box. The pulley, thus fitted, is to be placed in the block, the pin or axis passing through the trundle as through a common pulley, and is 7/8ths of an inch diameter. When the purchase is applied, the pulley plays round the trundle, and the trundle round the axis or pin, with great facility, the friction being vastly lessened.—It is said that the ingenious projector obtained a patent, and that on trial in London one horse drew, in a carriage fixed on this construction, as much as five in the common way. Though this seems rather incredible, the improvement is highly valuable, as a considerable advantage may be gained in various kinds of machinery, where the friction is great upon any pulley, roller, arbor, gudgeon, axle-tree or spindle; and it also suggests an improvement in trundleheads to mills, by being made to roll upon the cogs, and thereby lessen the friction, and make them much more durable."
A pulley, constructed in London on the above principles, has been brought to Providence, Rhode-Island, by a gentleman who was requested to forward it to a neighboring State.—A pattern was taken by Mr. Caleb Wheaton, of that town, clock-maker.

Mr. CHILDS,
MANY of your readers are disappointed at finding so valuable a piece of information as that of Col. Morgan's, respecting the insect destroying the wheat, discontinued after one day's publication. The truth upon so very important a subject should be carefully diffused thro' the country, and by being repeatedly presented to their notice, should be impressed upon the mind of every farmer, who should be informed that Col. George Morgan is himself an experienced farmer, and a very accurate and careful observer, so that the most entire and the fullest confidence may be placed in his information. You and every printer are therefore requested to re-publish his address, and to continue it for some time in your paper, to which you may if you please, add this caution—that the blessing of this discovery respecting the yellow bearded wheat will soon be lost, unless the farmers are very careful to preserve this kind of wheat pure from any mixture with other kinds, which can only be done by sowing it by itself, and not near to fields of any other kind with which it will certainly mix, and from that mixture gradually lose its valuable distinction, the hardiness of its straw, by which it is preserved from the insect.
THE HESSIAN FLY.
Mr. CHILDS,
OBSERVING a paragraph in your Daily Advertiser, addressed "For all the American newspapers," dated at Philadelphia, the 13th of June, and signed A LANDHOLDER—I am induced from the same motives with the writer, to inform you,
were good, to inform him that his ideas respecting the Hessian Fly are ill founded. As they may mislead others who have had no opportunity to know this destructive insect, I beg leave through your useful paper to refer him, and then, to the publications of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, on this subject, as they contain its true history. If the LANDHOLDER will read those publications, he will be convinced that his address may do much injury to many, who have not had the means of better information however good his intentions may have been; and for this reason I recommend to all Printers, who have published his address, to give this as a caution against his recommendation. As a lover of my country, and a friend to the Farmers of the Middle States, I am further induced to declare, from experience, and a thorough investigation of the matter, that their absolute reliance (under Providence) must be on the yellow bearded Wheat, not the white, nor the red bearded Wheat, the sowing of which, by mistake, has occasioned much disappointment. That this declaration may have its full weight with all who know me, I give my name.
New-York, GEORGE MORGAN, of June 24th 1788. Prospect, New-Jersey.
D I R E C T I O N S.
SOW strong ground between the 10th and 20th of September, as far south as lat. 40 and proportionally later more Southward; and manure well with line where it is convenient. As I have reason to believe this yellow bearded Wheat came originally from Chesapeake Bay or the State of Delaware, I have sent samples thereof to his Excellency General Washington, to John Dickenson, Esq. and to John Beal Bordley, Esq. to ascertain the matter, in hope of rendering an acceptable service to the States of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.

To the honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York.
The Petition of the subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansburgh, in the Patent of Stonerarabia, in the county of Albany. Most humbly sheweth, THAT the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, or the major part of them, have, at great expence, purchased lots of ground in the said town, and made settlements and improvements thereon, for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade and commerce, and promoting the population of that part of the country.
That experience has taught your petitioners, that the regulation of the internal police of the said town, by the votes of the freeholders and inhabitants, or by a committee by them annually chosen for the purpose, is attended with great difficulties and embarrassments, which daily increase and multiply.
That the said freeholders and inhabitants, for want of being incorporated, cannot obtain a grant of a considerable tract of land, which has been generously promised to them, as commons for fuel and pasture, for the use and benefit of the said freeholders and inhabitants, by means whereof their prosperity and mercantile prospects may be greatly diminished.
For remedy whereof, and in order to answer the beneficial purposes intended by your petitioners, they are desirous that the freeholders and inhabitants, residing within the following boundaries and limits, may be incorporated, viz. Beginning at a certain pitch-pine stump, standing on the east bank of Hudson's river, opposite the fourth end of Whale Island, and running from thence S. 69, E. 178 chains, agreeable as the same was run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence N. 19, E. 45, B. 286 chains and 50 links, as the same was also run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence W. to the mouth of the Herberg Kill, at Hudson's river, to low water mark, as the magnetic needle pointed in the year 1766; and from thence down along the river, until opposite the said stump, and from thence to the said stump.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that an act may be passed, to incorporate the freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid, by the name of the Trustees of the Freeholders and inhabitants of the Town of Lansburgh.
That the names to be named in the said act may be severally , to wit: Abraham Jacob Lansing, John Van Ranselaer, Jo onimus Hoogland, Flores Barker, Elijah James, Aaron Ward, and John G. Yates.
That the freeholders and inhabitants aforesaid may be enabled annually to choose seven trustees, to keep up a regular succession: That the name of Aaron Lane may be inserted in the said act, as clerk of the said town; Christopher Tillman, Esq. as treasurer; and David Henry, as marshal; and that their successors in office may likewise be annually chosen as aforesaid: And that the Legislature will be pleased to grant such powers, jurisdictions, and privileges to the trustees of the said town, and for the regulation of its internal police, as the Legislature in their wisdom shall deem meet and expedient. And your petitioners will ever pray. Signed by AB. JACOB LANSING, And above 100 others, freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid described. Lansburgh, March 8, 1788.
In ASSEMBLY, March 11th, 1788.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
A Respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends removing a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, as No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted ability to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21 with foremen, to see the business performed.  2d. To allocate a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimney shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and six pence, for every chimney.  3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.  4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.  The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
