BE it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That if a ship, vessel or boat, or any kind of goods, wares or merchandise shall be cast by the sea on the land, neither such ship, vessel or boat, nor any thing in them, nor such goods, wares or merchandise, shall be adjudged wreck; but the ship, vessel or boat, and every thing therein contained, and such goods, wares and merchandise, shall be saved and kept by the view of the Sheriff or Coroner, or other persons appointed for that purpose, who shall cause the same to be appraised, and safely keep them, so that if any person within a year and a day sue for those goods, and prove that they were his, or lost in his keeping, they shall be restored to him, without delay, upon his paying the charges and expences of saving and keeping the said goods; but if not, they shall remain to the People of this State, and shall after the expiration of the said year and day, be sold at public vendue by the Sheriff, Coroner or other person appointed for that purpose, who shall have found or seized the same, who shall account for the same, at the exchequer, deducting the charges and expences of saving and keeping the same, and of such sale.

The subject of the following address is a theme which the benevolent will deem popular, but which the interested may not admire. The subjects of America, however, who have so strenuously contended for LIBERTY, and who have declared it to be the natural right of MAN, will doubtless defend the principles of the author, and thereby support the character of consistency.
ADDRESS TO THE HEART,
On the Subject of AFRICAN SLAVERY.
AWAKE! ye whose hearts are attuned to sympathy! ye whose minds have tasted of the sweet cup of benevolence, and who profane humbly
to imitate the glorious Saviour of the world! deign for a moment to think, and despite not the meanest of your brethren, for the high and the low, are of the same blood—the first and the last, the same in the eye of Heaven! be thankful that the Father of mercies has blessed you with abundance, that ye may diffuse happiness around you; and pride yourselves not in riches, for to the God of the rich and the poor, the whole earth belongs—nor in knowledge, for ye are all born alike—in ignorance.
Who can supplicate the God of the universe, and reject the supplications of his distressed creatures, over whom he has appointed them as stewards?—Who can pray for mercy, rendering none—expect gratitude, forgetting to be grateful?—Remember who created you, and of what—of dust!—Remember the condescension of Christ, when he loved you—his suffrance for your redemption, and at what price he bought it—the price of his blood!—Remember the great command he gave to his followers—to love their neighbours as themselves, and to bestow benefits as they would receive them! Forget yourselves not for a moment in the days of your prosperity, for the earth itself is in continual motion!
The miseries of many are full; the cries of oppressed men rise from the dust! for the iron hand of tyranny has long been heavy.—Ye who repose under the delightful shades of peace—ye whose rights and property fear no invasion—ye whose nights of soft slumber are undisturbed, whose days are spent in conjugal love, and whose children are ripening in age under the kind indulgencies of parental affection, forget for a moment the voluptuous coach, the luxurious table, the splendid equipage, the sumptuous robe, the enchanting scenes and intoxicating pleasures that surround you, and consider that many of your poor brethren are weary with the heavy labour that procures them!—you are enjoying the fruits of the earth, and they considered only as beasts of burthen. They have children as well as yourselves, and are subject to the same feelings.—The poor African is to-day reclining in the arms of balmy rest, under the tree which was planted by his father for a shade—His little infants are playing on his neck, as he rests on his couch of reeds—He smiles at their gambols, and the fathers of the valley arrive, to amuse with the tales of their former years, the men and maids who are gathering to the feast.—The rice is ready, the fruits are collected, and the palm flows for the welcome guests.—The warbling voice is loud in the festive grove—the long riles, and the dance begins, their festive joys continue, and whilst innocence and virtue reign, the open eye of Heaven approves.—A cloud rises in the west, the journey of the whirlwind is not more rapid than its progress.—The flames of the surrounding villages ascend, and the shrieks of the dying victims are now the only music of the groves!—Can the bleating of the lamb raise the pity of the wolf?—No—nor the cry of the babe stay the hand of the barbarous Ruffian!—The afflicted mother is torn from her child, the protecting hand of the father is laid low in the dust.—The brother cannot mingle tear with brother—nor take a parting look, for they are forever divided—the sister can enjoy no longer the love of her parents, nor the friendship of her companions of the morning, for one black night has separated them all.—The cries of women render more piercing the hideous yells of midnight, the groans of men are heard with the clanking of chains!—Where is now the song of mirth? Where is now the soft tale of love? The valley of Morni is become the valley of death!—The sacred groves are become the shades of misery!—The march of groans is begun.—Weeks pass, where the desert brook is dry—the hot sands burn, and the breeze forgets to blow.—The tender youths sink—the arms of death catch them!—The dungeons of the ship are open, the heavy chains are in tune; they clink to the misery of man.—The fiend of the earth is awake—he travels the deck in darkness!—The rolling sea hurries the heaving hearts.—The fighting souls escape—Happy souls! for you died the Saviour of the world! the groans of a hundred men, the sighs of a hundred women, the cries of a hundred youths are one? their tears mingle with the wave that dashes over.—A dead silence prevails, and the bodies are thrown to the watchful sharks, whose ravenous jaws are glutted with the flesh of men!—The markets in the west are full of slaves!—the fathers of oppression are there—their flinty hearts regard them as beasts of burthen.—The doom of the children of Africa is fixed, their lot is a dreadful bondage! O Christianity!—Thou whose mild Teacher taught self-denial to the world, and died to deliver and to bless mankind, can thy professors make captive and destroy their brethren?—The name of Christian has been abhorred by Negroes and Indians! Christ has been his name rejected—the cause is before him, for his eye is upon all flesh!
Come thou of peaceful soul, to my garden in the land of slavery—it is a retreat well suited to a contemplative mind. The high mountains that surround, preserve it from the storm, and the hanging wood is beautifully softened by their shades.—See the bower to which I invite my friends.—This was planted by my faithful old man who keeps watch in my garden.—The little murmuring brook that wanders along the valley seldom forgets to run, and dashing down the rock, dazzles in the sun-beam. Upon that rock sits the night-hawk—Listen! for the turtle doves are cooing, and the mild notes of the woodland thrush are still heard!—The sun tinges the clouds; and how rich are the warm tints of the mountains!—The evening star already twinkles, and the fable wing of night is spreading from the east.—See that poor slave rising the hill under a heavy load.—He whistles, for the sun is setting and his time of rest is near.—“he whistles, therefore he is happy.”—No; he often walks pensively on the hill, and he sometimes rests his burthen upon that old stump:—Hark!—O sun!—thou whose cheerful beams have often enlivened my soul, thou art now sinking behind the world.—When thou risest thou wilt behold my country! thou wilt see my wife and children!—Do they want bread?—Perhaps they lament the loss of Morni!—he is far away, and to them, and to himself, Morni is dead!—where dost thou live, O sun! and where is thy bed? When thou risest upon my country thy first look in the morning, the young men will rise with joy to bring their bows; but, I am here!—When my wife rises the labour of the day will be heavy, for Morni is here; and who shall help my babes, for their hands are
still feeble.—The lion ranges free in the desert, and in his strength, the young lions rejoice; but where is the arm of Morni?—his children weep without help! They refuse now to taste the wine of his palms. They look at his cup, and the partner of his happy days mourns, for Morni is dead!—He wanders in the mountain far from her, he drinks at the little spring, but thou, O sun! drinkest the rest—carry it with the morning to the grounds of my children, and spare them from the misery of Morni! when they retire to rest, let their slumbers be sweet, and let them not dream of Morni, for Morni shall behold them no more! when I rise in the morning to the labor of the day, awake them not; 'tis too early. Thou art sinking fast, O sun! and the dead song of night is heard now in the house of the wife of Morni; he is here in the dull mountain, and must go to his solitary hut. Who will receive him there?—where is his wife?—where are his children?—his wife gives him no welcome, his infants tell him not their pleasing tales.—The soul of silence dwells in his hut!—his faithful dog watches at his door—poor dog!—thou lovest me and thy master loves thee, but where is now his pleasure?—he shall see his family no more!—farewell sun!—farewell stars! be ye happy, and reign forever!—blest my master! he is good, but he feels not the weight of the burthen of Morni!—again he whistles, and retires behind the hill.
* Palm tree, from which runs their wine. † Sacred grove of their gods.
Paufe a while, ye of tender minds, and let the miseries of others be your own.—Look upon your tender offspring, remark ye not the innocence of your babes? see ye not the pleasing smiles of your beautiful daughters? the ripening knowledge of your vigorous sons? They reward in the evening the toils of the day—your labours are forgotten; they are happy; and the hearts of their parents unite in rapturous embraces, giving praise to the GOD of mercy,—happy days!—thou lovest me and thy master loves thee, but where is now his pleasure?—he shall see his family no more!—farewell sun!—farewell stars! be ye happy, and reign forever!—blest my master! he is good, but he feels not the weight of the burthen of Morni!—again he whistles, and retires behind the hill.
The morn arrives, and the sun shines as yesterday, the sky as serene as before, the flowers smell as sweet as ever, the birds sing with equal melody, the river runs as smoothly, the tree appears as flatly, and its boughs play with the zephyr, the distant grove looks as purple, and the hill in the horizon has the same blue tint,—but, the mind of man is in a dark cloud, the gloomy night still hangs over his soul!—the day, though alive, is dead to man, and its beauties are now no more!

Extract of a letter from his Excellency Governor Clinton to his Excellency Governor Bowdoin, dated New-York, 24th Feb. 1787.
“SIR,
“I have had the honor of receiving your letter of the 10th inst. I sincerely congratulate your Excellency on the success of your government in the suppression of a rebellion, which had assumed so formidable an appearance as to threaten much trouble and danger. Agreeably to your request, and in conformity to the Articles of Confederation, I have this day issued my Proclamation (a copy of which is inclosed) for apprehending, and delivering up to justice, the persons pointed out by you as principal aggressors, should they be found within this State; and forbidding our citizens to supply with arms, ammunition, or military stores, or to afford any aid whatsoever to any person or persons who shall be found in arms against your Commonwealth. In order fully to evince the sense of our government on this occasion, and thereby render this measure the more effectual, I conceived it proper to call upon the different branches of the Legislature for their concurrence in it; which I have the pleasure to assure your Excellency was obtained with perfect unanimity, and you will accordingly find from my Proclamation, that they have authorized me to charge our treasury with the payment of the rewards offered for apprehending and securing the offenders.”
SPRINGFIELD, March 13.
By a gentleman who left Boston last Saturday noon, we are informed, that the Hon. Maj. Gen. Lincoln, Samuel Phillips, jun. and Samuel Allyne Otis, Esqrs. are appointed by the General Court, a board of Commissioners, who are immediately to repair to the counties of Hampshire, Worcester and Berkshire, and there to hear, try and grant, in part, or full pardon to all persons that have been concerned in the late insurrection and rebellion; excepting those who have been proscribed by proclamation, and others that have fired on, or killed any of the good subjects of this Commonwealth.
We are also informed, that the General Court, during the present session, have been extremely unanimous and decisive, and discover no disposition to be sanguinary or oppressive—but on the contrary wish to alleviate the burdens of the people as far as is consistent with the general good.
We are told, that General Lincoln and his family passed through Northampton last Saturday morning, on his way to Boston.
CHARLESTON, March 9.
“Cæsar hated Cato,” says a correspondent, “because Cato was a republican. Cæsar thought mankind could not be governed without armies, gibbets and halters—Cato thought they could be governed by reason, and that the insurrections incident to all free governments, more especially to the Roman, might be overcome without the government's violating the constitution. But Cæsar could not bear freedom, because it was opposed to tyranny; he therefore made necessity a colour for subverting the constitution, when the people abused it. In the years 1775 and 1776, a certain number of persons condemned the revolution, and despised the principles of it. They addressed the king's governors, formed connections with the British parties, and laughed at the whigs. As soon as the danger was over, they figured into the political dance, have got near the head of the set, and think they have a right to call for what TUNE they please. They have truly made an awkward figure at dancing Yankee Doodle,”
and are therefore calling for the British-Grenadier . They hate the old revolution men, and are trying to justify their former anti-exertions, by shewing, at this time, that the Americans cannot live under a free government, and that the revolution was unnecessary. For this they new-paper the old whigs, and try to get them out of office, to get themselves in. But justice and the spirit of past years will be attended to, and men placed in office, who, by a popular confidence, can govern without violating the constitution; without armies, and without the principles of despotism.”
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
In SENATE, March 2, 1787.
ORDERED, that his Excellency the Governor be, and he hereby is, requested to express to Major-General Lincoln, that the Legislature entertain a high sense of the spirit, patriotism and distinguished merit of the officers and soldiers, who, at the call of their country, have, with a cheerfulness peculiar to great and good minds, exerted themselves in defence of the rights and privileges secured to the citizens of this Commonwealth by our happy constitution.
The Legislature congratulates their brethren in arms, on the success that has crowned their virtuous exertions for the suppression of the late lawless insurrection and rebellion.

NEW-YORK, MARCH 20.
On Sunday evening the 11th instant, the Hon. Major-General Lincoln arrived in Boston, with his suite, from the western counties of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The wise dispositions of this experienced officer, and the unremitted exertions of the troops under his command; which have been so materially instrumental in bearing down an opposition to government, raised by wicked & designing men, have gained them the plaudits of every friend to good government, and the constitutional rights of the citizen. How happy for America, that she still cherishes sons in her bosom, who are ready to step forth and repel every hostile invader, whether foreign or domestic, who dare attempt to demolish the Stately Fabric , cemented by the blood of the Heroes of America !
A Kingdon paper of January 20, has the following paragraph:—Every account from the Congressional provinces, picture the situation of America as that of a State advancing rapidly towards political annihilation. Fixed, however, as her doom appears to be, the most prejudiced of her enemies must allow, that she will yet be a mighty empire, although the period may be too remote for any living to look up to.
A sketch of Col. Hamilton's Speech on the bill recommending to Congress to admit into the Union the assumed State of Vermont.
After intimating that he had attempted to introduce this bill as a matter of course on Wednesday last, but in compliance with the opinion of the House, had given previous notice of his intention, he goes on:—
“This formality having been thought requisite, I presume it will be expected that I should, on presenting the bill, accompany it with my reasons for doing so. Perhaps the sentiments I entertain of the present situation of our national affairs, may induce me to view the object of this bill in a more serious light than many gentlemen, equally solicitous for the public welfare.
“I confess I am in the habit of considering the state of this country, as replete with difficulties and surrounded with danger. The anxiety I feel on this head has been my inducement to bring forward the present measure.
“I view with apprehension the present situation of Vermont, over which this State claims jurisdiction, and whose pretensions to independence has never yet been formally recognized, either by this State or the United States. Notwithstanding I believe there is not a member of this House, but considers the independence of the district of territory in question, as a matter fixed and inevitable, all our efforts to a different point have hitherto proved fruitless, and it is long since we seem to have entirely given up the controversy. Vermont is in fact independent, but she is not confederated; and I am constrained to add that the means which they employ to secure that independence, are objects of the utmost alarm to the safety of this State, and to the confederation at large. Are they not wily inviting and encouraging settlers by an exemption from taxes, and availing themselves of the discontent of a neighbouring State, by turning it to the aggrandizement of their own power?
“Is it not natural to suppose, that a powerful people both by numbers and situation; unconnected as they now stand, and without any relative importance in the union; irritated by neglect, or stimulated by revenge, I say, is it not probable under such circumstances they will provide for their own safety, by seeking connections elsewhere? And who that hears me doubts but that these connections have already been formed with the British in Canada? We have the strongest evidence that negotiations have been carried on between that government and the leaders of the people in Vermont. Whatever may be the present temper of that people, it is easy to foresee what it will become under the influence of their leaders. Confederated with a foreign nation, we can be at no loss to anticipate the consequences of such a connection, nor the dangers to this country, from having so powerful a body of people increasing rapidly in numbers and strength, associated with a foreign power, and ready upon any rupture to throw their weight into an opposite scale. In their present situation they bear no part of our public burdens; if they were a part of the confederacy they must of course participate in them. They are useless to us now, and if they continue as they are, they will be formidable to us hereafter. I have observed before that the people there enjoy an exemption from taxes. In these States the taxes must be considerable to fulfil the public engagements; to support the government. What a temptation will a comparison of situations in this respect furnish to the inhabitants of these States bordering on Vermont? It is the policy of the Vermonters to make proselytes to their government, and the means which they employ for that purpose, are too well calculated to accomplish their designs.

"Are they not daily encroaching on our State? In every light 'tis our interest, if possible, to put an end to their present situation."
"I am aware there is in the minds of some members an objection, founded on a supposition that if we accede to the independence of Vermont, we are bound to make compensation to the citizens who have claims there under the grants of this State. I shall not say what justice may dictate in respect to those citizens; but I shall observe, that as far as that obligation is binding upon us, it applies more strongly to the actual state of things, than to that which is intended to be produced by the bill. It is the duty of the State, as matters now stand, either to support the claims of its citizens by an exertion of the public forces, or to make compensation to those who are sufferers by the neglect. Passively acquiescing in the independence of Vermont, is not less a violation of that protection and security which the public owes to individuals, than formally acceding to it. Indeed, by acceding to it, we put our citizens in a better situation than that in which they now are. We at least give them a chance for asserting their rights. The bill makes it a condition of the intended acknowledgment of the independence of Vermont, that it should become a part of the confederacy. The claims of individuals may then be submitted to the decision of a federal court, and as far as our citizens have equitable claims, it may be expected they would prevail in such a court."
"At any rate we shall not be under a stronger obligation in this respect than we now are; and we may avoid many and extensive mischiefs by acceding to the measure proposed by the bill."
"Many more considerations might be urged, but I think it unnecessary to enter into them at present. If any gentleman has arguments to oppose to those I have used, I shall be glad to hear them, and I flatter myself I shall be able to obviate any difficulties that may arise."
"When Milton's wife urged him to hold the same place under the KING, which he had done under CROMWELL, "thou art in the right," said he, "you, as other women, would ride in your coach; but for me—my aim is to live and die an honest man."
Extract of a letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated January 31, 1787.
"The Schooner John, Duguid, which sailed from Port Royal for America about the middle of December last, returned yesterday afternoon. A few days after this vessel left the island, Duguid died, and two of the seamen were taken ill. The remainder of the persons on board finding the provisions grow short, meeting with very bad weather, and having only two men before the mast, thought it most prudent to return."
"In a snow storm of the 3d inst. a small fishing Schooner was drove ashore on the light-house rocks, Boston, and entirely lost. Mr. Thorndike, of Caico Bay, Mr. Joseph Hall, of Boston, and two boys, being the whole number on board, unfortunately perished."
"MARRIED, last Saturday evening, at Greenwich, Mr. GEORGE POLLOCK, to Miss YATES, daughter of Richard Yates, Esq."
"With sorrow we announce the sudden death of ALEXANDER CLINTON, Esq. eldest son of General James Clinton, and nephew to His Excellency the Governor of this State. This young gentleman, on Thursday last, as he was passing in a pettiauger to Bull's Ferry, about seven miles up the North-river, (in company with two of his brothers, and several other gentlemen,) unfortunately fell overboard: He swam for a few minutes on the surface of the water, during which time, he, with admirable composure told the gentlemen on board, that he could take care of himself till they could put about and take him up—Notwithstanding their most strenuous efforts, added to those of the boatmen, the vessel unhappily missed stays three several times, and ere they could arrive at the fatal spot, the unfortunate youth waved his hand, we suppose as a signal of his departure from the confines of time, and then sinking beneath the stream, vanished from their sight. The impressions which this melancholy catastrophe made upon the minds of his brothers and friends, who were the sad witnesses of it—it is impossible to describe—their hearts were too big for utterance. Thus, at so early period of life, as his 23d. year, this promising and valuable young man was hurried from the stage of time, to the inexpressible grief of his relatives and numerous friends."
"It is no vain eulogium, nay, justice to his memory requires us, to say—that his courteous, pleasant and affable deportment, had gained him the universal esteem of his young friends and acquaintances; and, by his accomplished manners, education, and respectful behaviour, he had obtained the good opinion of those of riper and graver years."
"Before we close this distressing scene, shall only add, that he likewise bore a patriotic character—At a very early age he entered into the service of his country, and served as a Lieutenant in the Artillery of the late American army; and, at the time of his decease, he bore the commission of Captain-Lieutenant in the Artillery of this city. He also served reputably in the capacities of private Secretary to His Excellency the Governor, and Secretary to the Hon. Council of Revision. His chief delight appeared to consist in the character of a soldier; for which, his natural and acquired accomplishments seemed peculiarly to have designed him—But, Death has buried with him, in a watry tomb, all his fair prospects and enjoyments!"

THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, By Thomas Allen,
No. 16, Queen-Street, corner of the Fly-Market, THE TASK: A Poem in six books. By WILLIAM COWPER, of the Inner-Temple, Esq. handsomely bound and lettered.
The publisher of the American Edition of this excellent Poem, (the Task) instead of giving an account of it himself, begs leave to present to the public the following extract from the monthly review for June, 1786:
"It is very seldom that we are furnished with an entertainment that mingles delight and improvement in so perfect a degree, as the present ingenious and truly original publication. The author is always moral, yet never dull; and though he often expands an image, yet he never weakens its force. If the same thought occurs, he gives it a new form; and is copious without being tiresome. He frequently entertains by his comic humour, and still oftener awakens more serious and more tender sentiments, by useful and by pathetic representations; by descriptions that sooth the and melt the heart, and by reflections which carry their alarm to the conscience, and rouse and terrify guilt in its closest retreats." 79
