F O R S A L E.
A FARM situated in the township of Westchester, containing about 115 acres, a convenient proportion of which is wood, arable and meadow land; on the premises are a large and convenient two story dwelling-house, a kitchen separate from it, a good barn, cyder-mill, &c. with a large bearing orchard, besides a plenty and variety of other fruit-trees. Its situation is pleasant and calculated for a gentleman whose inclination leads to a country life, as also for a farmer who wishes to profit by keeping a flock and dairy, as it lies in the vicinity of an extensive common, and near a large tract of salt meadow, from whence hay in any quantity, may be procured at a trifling expence. It also lies within three quarters of a mile of a public landing, from whence market-boats ply to and from New-York, twice or thrice a week. For further particulars apply to the subscriber on the premises, who will give an unquestionable title, and deliver immediate possession if required.

On account of several unforeseen accidents, the Editor has been unable to publish his New-York Directory , before this period. He has industriously endeavoured to procure a compleat catalogue of the names, occupations, and places of abode of the inhabitants of this City; and flatters himself, that it is the most compleat of any yet offered to the Public. The utility of a publication of this nature must be so obvious, as to render observation unnecessary; the Editor, therefore, hopes that a generous public will encourage his undertaking, which will enable him to compile his next Directory with accuracy and dispatch.

established that Prince in all privileges he enjoyed in 1766, and to annul every thing that had been done to the contrary since, and a vast number signed it: However from the violence of party on each side such a thing was not likely to go on long without some disturbance, which in fact happened towards evening: when the popular fury rose so high that the house was pulled down, and other excesses committed, which however were checked by two companies of burghers being sent to the spot in time; nevertheless, the rumor of this disturbance soon reached Kattenburgh, on which island the dock-yards are, and it immediately spread among the ship-wrights, who attacked and plundered the houses of several patriots, drew up the draw-bridges, and with some pieces of cannon, seemed determined to defend themselves against any who might oppose them: However a party of our burghers immediately went to the spot, where they were fired upon from the cannon, and were obliged to wait till this morning before they could force the bridge, which they did by means of some pieces of ordnance, and entered the island with charged bayonets: Upon this the other party fled, some of them were however taken, and will be tried; six were killed, and several wounded. Whilst this was going on upon the island, the populace plundered several houses in other parts of the town, particularly those of the burgomasters Rendorp and Beels; that of burgomaster Dedel was defended by a party of burghers, who got there just in time to save it. Where all this will end God only knows, but we fear party spirit runs so high that much mischief will ensue to this republic.

CHARLESTON, June 26.
On Thursday last arrived here the brig Mary, Capt. Fitzgerald, in 52 d. ys from Cadiz, by whom we learn, that Gen. Elliot had left Gibraltar and Gen. O'Harra had taken the command, that a letter was received by the Vice Consul at Cadiz from the British Consul at Algiers, with intelligence of the plague having broke out about the beginning of April, which carried off from 15 to 25 in a day—that all the European merchants and American Captains had moved into the country—and that it was thought, as the warm weather came on the plague would increase.
A duel has lately been fought at Savannah, between Col. Gunn, and Mr. Walton, late Chief Justice of Georgia. Both these gentlemen behaved with great personal bravery. Mr. Walton having received a dangerous wound in his thigh, insisted on being set up against a fence and firing again, but the seconds very properly prevented such a desperate proposal from taking place.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Har-mar to his friend in Springfield.
"Head-Quarters, at the mouth of the Muskingum, May 13, 1787.
"Our tawny neighbours still continue those practices of murder and rapine, which you know are habitual to an Indian; they are frequently stealing horses from the inhabitants on the frontiers, and have lately most barbarously murdered a number of families; what tribe they are of we cannot tell, but suppose them to be Cherokees, as that nation did not join in the treaty; we see them daily about the garrison, but they dare not meddle with a soldier. In short, we are not apprehensive of the least danger from them, for the garrison is well fortified and completely manned. We live in a world of wealth, and want for none of the common necessaries of life: Venison, turkeys, and partridges, with the best of vegetables which our fertile gardens, with our own cultivation, afford us in the greatest plenty, are our common food."
The subject and advantage of toleration are very little understood by the orators of England. The late King of Prussia was the only Prince of modern times, that could avail himself of all its advantages. In Nuechatel, Mr. Petit Pierre, a Calvinistic clergyman, had doubts of the eternity of hell torments, and never alluded to them in his sermons. The orthodox preachers alarmed the people, and Mr. Petit Pierre was suspended. The ministers, who in all religions are fond of persecution, obtained a memorial to the King, to oblige Mr. Petit Pierre to preach on hell torments, or to punish him. The King wrote at the bottom of the memorial, "If the people of Nuechatel choose to be eternally damned, to be it; but the King requires that the conscience of the minister be not molested."
Laningsborough, July 16. By a gentleman of veracity we learn, that Shays is now in Bennington, where he has been some time in disguise, and has frequently, within a few weeks, travelled through different towns on the borders of this State and Massachusetts.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, dated April 6.
"The following is a genuine account of the melancholy catastrophe at Clondalkin:—From the very great demand for powder at the above place, a great quantity of it, to the amount of about 260 barrels, was suffered to remain on the loft of that part of the works which is called the corn-mill, the place where the powder goes through the last press.—The magazine was the place in which it was usually secured, but unfortunately that precaution was neglected. The greater part of the persons employed there were Englishmen; and Monday being St. George's day, they devoted it to the commemoration of their patron Saint. Two men only were at work, when the dreadful accident happened which was caused by over-heating of a stove that had been used for drying the powder. On this stove were five or six barrels—they first took fire, and then communicated to the others. The violent concussion of the air, that must have been the consequence of such a tremendous explosion, can easily be conceived. Its effects were felt for several miles round; but more particularly in a direction to the east of the spot. The earth seemed to shake from the very
centre; and many persons adjacent were deprived of their sight for a few moments, by the violence of the shock; houses were unroofed, windows broken, and pewter and other things cast with violence from the dressers. And its effects at the spot itself are horrible beyond description—the whole building was torn up from its very foundations and hurled into the elements. When the cloud of smoke had dispersed, not a vestige was to be seen of it; and the person who had never seen the works could scarcely bring himself to believe, that such complete desolation could be effected in so short a space. Ponderous ruins, tons in weight, were cast to the distance of five or six fields, and the ground was ploughed into furrows, where large stones, hurled by a violent impetus had touched. All the fish in a pond contiguous were found dead, floating on the surface of the water; trees were broken in the middle; and the remainder of the works, which were totally detached from this place, present a heap of rubbish—the walls tattered, and the roofs drove in. One of the men who was in the house at the time, was found in a quarry adjacent—his head horribly flattened, the other has not yet been discovered, although diligent search was made ever since. It was supposed that he was blown to atoms, and scattered in different places. Five or six men were wounded—one it is thought mortally. It would seem as if the immediate hand of Providence protected the inhabitants of the neighbourhood from the effects of this dreadful accident. Upon no other supposition can the circumstance of so few lives being lost, from such an unparalleled explosion, be accounted for. The public, on this occasion, have not only the private loss of one individual to lament, but the destruction of a great national undertaking, set on foot and brought to perfection by the public spirit of Mr. Caldbbeck."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Augusta, to his friend in Savannah dated 19th ult.
"The back country people have lately killed 35 Indians, and a party under the command of Col. Alexander, consisting of 300 men, is gone out; so that a general war is thought to be unavoidable. A number of the finest horses have within this week past been stolen in and near Augusta, likewise two negroes; some more slaves were taken, but made their escape, and gave the alarm. One Prater is taken up on suspicion of being concerned with the thieves, who are supposed to have made their way to the Indian nation: A party is out after them, and are in hopes to overtake them."
Extract from the Memoirs of John Fothergill, M. D. S.C. by John Cookworthy Esq.
"Persecution drove the Quakers to America, where they founded a Government unknown in modern times; where the world beheld a people in power, the only people in history, who never exercised that power to persecute the weak!
"What is familiar and near to us excites little scrutiny or investigation; but the time may come, when a wise Legislature may condescend to enquire, by what medium a whole society, in both the old and new world, is made to think and act with uniformity for upwards of a century!—By what policy, without emolument from government, they have become the only people on earth free from poverty!—By what economy they have thus prevented beggary and want among any of their members, whilst the nation groans under taxes for the poor!—Then, perhaps their fanaticism may not appear to the public in a worse point of view than has been exhibited by a modern writer on the continent, whose sentiments are as follows: After giving a view of their religious principles, he says, "Let those who please consider the Quakers as fanatics; they are such as always merit esteem. I think myself obliged to declare, that I esteem them to be a great, industrious, modest, intelligent, and virtuous people, and to be animated with the most beneficent principles of any sect which ever yet appeared in the world. They have a comprehensive charity to the whole race of mankind, and deny the mercies of God to none.—They publicly aver, that an universal liberty is due to all; are against impositions of every kind, yet patiently submit to many themselves; and perhaps are the only party amongst men, whose practices, as a body, correspond with their principles.—I am not ashamed to own, that I have with great pleasure read over Mr. Barclay's apology for Quakerism, and do really think it to be the most masterly, charitable and reasonable system that I have ever seen."

Mutual Assurance Company. For insuring HOUSES from LOSS by FIRE in New-York.
WHEREAS the insuring of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, has been found of great and public utility wherever it has been practiced; and although societies, have been instituted in different places, yet none have hitherto been formed in this city for that laudable and beneficent purpose.
A number of respectable citizens, as well for their own mutual security as for the common security and advantage of their neighbours and fellow-citizens, with the view of promoting the insurance of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, upon the most equal terms, and without any views of private or separate gain or interest, have established a company by the name of
The Mutual Assurance Company, For Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire in New-York.
The utility of an institution in its purpose so laudable, cannot fail to attract the notice of every citizen being of so great importance to the security of property and the happiness of families, that it is presumed that no person of prudence will be found to neglect it.
The office is now opened at No. 57, King-street, where such persons as incline to insure their houses and other buildings, may, on application, receive every necessary information.

POET'S CORNER.
The Complaint of C A S C A R I L L A, An American BALLAD.
THE fairest cedar of the grove, Arose less beauteous than my love; The pride of all our Indian youth, For valor, constancy and truth.
His eyes were bright as morning dew, His lips, the Napa's crimson hue; His teeth, the silver plume so white That wings the spotless bird of night.
For me, th' unerring lance he threw, For me the fledgling bow he drew; Chac'd the fleet roe thro' mead and wood, Or lur'd the tenants of the wood.
Mine was the spoil, the trophies mine, The choicest skins my cot to line; While for the youth a wreath I wove, With flowers new gathered from the grove.
But, ah!—those happy hours are fled, I weep my dear Panama dead! The clang of war his bosom fir'd, He fought—was conquer'd—and expir'd.
Untomb'd—unhelter'd, lo!—he lies: No maid to close his faded eyes, With flowers to deck his mournful bier, Or greet his ashes with a tear.
* The plant on which the cochineal is nourished; its blossoms are of a beautiful red.
† The American owl of a delicate white, equal to snow.
