An ACT for giving relief in cases of insolvency, Passed the 21st of March 1788.
[Concluded from Thursday last.]
17. AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That such assignee or assignees shall have power and authority to dispose of all the real and personal estate of such debtor or debtors, which shall be assigned to him or them, or which ought by virtue of this act to be assigned to him or them, and to convert the same into money, to execute good and sufficient deeds for such real and personal estate, to redeem all mortgages and conditional contracts, and satisfy all judgments, and to recover in his or their name or names, all such real and personal estate of such insolvent, and all deeds and books of accounts and papers respecting the same, and shall have full power and authority to refer to arbitration, settle or compound or agree with any person indebted to the said insolvent, in such manner as shall from time to time appear to such assignee or assignees most advantageous to the creditors of such insolvent, and shall within the space of one year, proceed to make a division of all the money which shall have come to his or their hands of such estate, first giving three months notice of the time and place of making such division, by advertising the same in the newspaper printed by the printer to this state, and in one other of the public newspapers printed in this state, and if the whole be not then settled, shall within the space of one year thereafter, make a second division of such monies as may come to his or their hands after the first division, and so from year to year, until a final settlement thereof and a just and equal division of the whole be made, and if on settling the estate of the insolvent, a surplus should remain in their possession, after discharging the debt or debts of the said insolvent, the same shall be paid to the said insolvent, his or her legal representative or representatives.
18. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the assignees, or the survivors or survivor of them, shall, at least one month before a division be made, appoint a day, by advertising the same in one or more of the public newspapers, for a general meeting of all such creditors as shall choose to attend, to examine and ascertain the debts due to each creditor, and in case of any controversy relating to such debts, it shall be determined in the following manner, that is to say; the assignees shall nominate two referees, not being creditors of the insolvent, and the creditor whose debt is in controversy, shall nominate two others, and their names shall be separately written on four pieces of paper, as nearly of the same size as possible, which shall be rolled up in the same manner and put into a box, and from thence one of the assignees shall draw out three of the said pieces of paper, and the persons whose names are so drawn, shall finally settle such controversy; and if any referee, so appointed, shall refuse or be incapable of acting in a reasonable time, a new choice shall be made in the same manner; and in case any such creditor shall refuse to nominate referees on his part, the assignees are hereby empowered to nominate them for him.
19. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the assignee or assignees shall, before he or they enter upon the execution of the trust committed to him or them, by virtue of this act, take an oath, to be administered by a master in chancery, a justice of the supreme court, or any of the judges of the court of common pleas aforesaid, well and faithfully to manage the insolvent's estate, and keep and render a true account of all that shall come to his or their hands of the same, and for that purpose, he or they shall keep regular books of accounts, to which every creditor at all reasonable times may have recourse, and for the care and trouble incumbent on the assignee or assignees, he or they shall be allowed out of the insolvent's estate, such a consideration as the petitioners or a major part of them shall agree and fix upon; and that all costs of suit, prison and gaol fees, and charges of proceeding under this act, to obtain the discharge of the insolvent, shall be first paid, and then deducting all such costs, charges and expenses, as shall be necessarily laid out and expended by the assignee or assignees, together with his or their commissions for his or their care and trouble therein, the residue shall be divided equally among the creditors, in which division no preference shall be given to debts due by specialty.
20. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no suit in equity shall be commenced by any assignee, without the consent of the majority of the petitioners or creditors who consented to the assignment, with respect to the amount of their debts as aforesaid, at a meeting held for that purpose, and if any creditor shall neglect or refuse to give notice of, and prove his or her debt within one year and an half after the assignment, and a division of the whole estate be made, such creditor shall not be entitled to a dividend, and the whole money shall be divided by the assignees among the other creditors;
but in case the whole of such insolvent's estate shall not be divided and settled by the time hereby appointed for the first division, and such creditor shall prove his debt, before the time appointed for the second division, then such creditor shall, before a second division be made among the other creditors, have his said dividend, or so much money as he would have been entitled to on the first division, had his debt then been proved; but no creditor shall be admitted to prove his debt, in order to entitle himself to a share in the insolvent's estate, after a second division, but shall by this act be barred from any share thereof.
21. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every insolvent who shall be discharged by virtue of this act, and in all things conform to the directions thereof, shall be allowed the sum of five pounds per centum on the net produce of all his or her estate that shall be recovered or received by the said assignee or assignees, to be paid to him or her by such assignee or assignees, in case the net produce of the said estate after such allowance made, shall be sufficient to pay the creditors of such insolvent, who shall prove their debts in the manner directed by this act, the sum of fourteen shillings in the pound, and so as the said five pounds per centum shall not amount in the whole to above the sum of two hundred pounds.
22. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That nothing in this act contained, shall be construed to deprive landlords of the right of distraining for or securing their rents, which by law they had before the making of this act.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, February 23. THE American intercourse bill was yesterday read a third time, in the house of commons, and sent to the lords.
War between the emperor and his majesty of Prussia is supposed to be inevitable. The protestant act, after meeting with the most stubborn opposition, is now about to be ingistered. The clergy have disputed every line of it, against the sense and conviction of every other part of the nation.
February 28. Yesterday the American ambassador and his secretary took leave of his majesty previous to his return to America.
Mr. Adams, the American ambassador, on his return home, quits all official situations, and reverts to the practice of the law.
February 29. It is currently reported that France had obtained the free navigation of the red sea, and that the treaty to that effect has been signed by the Pacha at Grand Cairo, and by the captain Pacha at Constantinople.
Having obtained this point she will probably look forward to the Black Sea, and perhaps to the possession of Egypt; and should their projects be ever realized, our India company will repent of their negligence in not engaging government to counteract the intrigues of the French court, or at least in not obtaining similar privileges to the British flag.
A tax upon watches has been proposed, and rejected; it not being the way of the present administration to raise money on tick.
March 1. It is pretended, that the states of Holland and West-Friesland have resolved to make all the corps of armed citizens, tradesmen, and other inhabitants, take the oath for the preservation and support of the established constitution, and the hereditary stadtholdership in the house of Orange and Nassau, with all the dignities and prerogatives annexed to it.
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, Feb. 18. "The public discontents in this city do by no means decline; nor are they likely to be settled until the affairs of the parliament are put upon what we now conceive to be a constitutional footing. The rage of absolute monarchy is rapidly declining; and, though a Frenchman will probably never lose his favorite maxim of Vive le Roi, yet we begin to conceive that slavery is a badge too galling for any but the most abject of the human species."
March 2. By the Dutch mail, which arrived last night, we have received accounts, that several skirmishes had already happened between the advanced parties of the Austrians and Turks; that the treaty of alliance between the King of Prussia and the Stadtholder, had been approved by the seven provinces; and that a report prevailed at Vienna, of the Imperial minister at Constantinople being sent to the prison of the Seven Towers.
The political hemisphere at present is extremely clouded: The Empress preparing a large fleet for the Mediterranean. The Spaniards in equal preparation to watch the motions of the Russian fleet, or to oppose it. The French inclined to assist the Turks, and Great Britain compelled to provide for the protection of Gibraltar. The language of the admiralty is, that we shall have an equipment of six or seven sail of the line, very early in the spring.
A genuine and circumstantial account of the death of General Matthews.
General Matthews died on the 7th of September, 1783; and at the time he departed this life, he was in irons. He had not changed his linen for 20 days, on account of his knowing that the Keeladar had mixed poison in the victuals that he daily sent him. It appeared, indeed, from the treatment the General had at first met with, that Tippoo meant to use unfair means with him. Had he intended to use him agreeable to his rank, he ought to have allow-
ed his staff to have accompanied him during his confinement; but far from that, that he the first broke a solemn treaty with the General and his officers. The General was then separated from the whole of his captive army, put under a strong guard, thrown into a filthy dungeon; his baggage, cot, and every thing of the smallest consequence taken from him; his servants removed, and he himself thrown into heavy irons: and at last, to put a finishing stroke to the horrid scene, was dispatched by poison.
The General, when he learnt from a combination of suspicious circumstances, as well as hints let fall from those that were about his person, that it was the Sultan's intention to cut him off by poison, refused to taste of the victuals that was sent to him, at stated times, from the Keeladar's. Some of the guards, and even the servant's who carried the poisoned victuals, took compassion on the General, and gave him now and then a little of their's.
The Havaldar, who had the charge of the General, connived at these acts of humanity at first, and manifested symptoms of uneasiness and dissatisfaction with the part assigned to him in the scene going forward. But this officer, when it was found that General Matthews still protracted his miserable existence, was sent for by the Keeladar, who told him that the General's life, if much longer continued, must be paid for by the Havaldar's death. Upon this the Havaldar communicated his orders, with the threats that accompanied them, to his unfortunate prisoner, who had now no other alternative than that of perishing by famine or by poison. The anxious love of life maintained, for several days, a struggle with the importunate calls of furious hunger. These, however, prevailed in the issue of the contest. He eat of poisoned food, and he drank too, whether to quench the rage of enslaved thirst, or to drown the torments of his soul in utter insensibility, of the poisoned cup. Within six hours after this fatal repast he was found dead.
This is a faithful and true account of the death of Lieutenant-General Matthews, which has been set forth in various ways. The manner in which these particulars were brought to light was this: the death of the General being reported to the Keeladar, it was mentioned, on that occasion, that a brass bason was found in his prison, with some writing on it; which must have been done with a fork he had with him. This was brought to the Keeladar, read and interpreted by an European, who had engaged in the Sultan's service.
March 5. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, Feb. 8. "By the arrival of commodore Crosby's cruizers, and other, we learn, that there are prodigious preparations going on in the African ports, particularly Tunis, where the bey has 17 men of war of different rates equipping. There does not remain a doubt but the Ottoman porte are the secret cause of all these preparations and that these subordinate states are designed to assist the Turks with their whole force in cases of necessity; at least they may be a check to the Venetians and Maltese."
The same letters advise that the bey of Tetuan, on the Barbary coast, was full of armed ships belonging to the emperor of Morocco, which were about to sail on some secret expedition in favour of the Ottoman Porte; and that all the other Barbary states were fitting out cruizers for the same purpose.
A correspondent from Flanders writes, "In my tour through the Austrian Low Countries, from Brussels to this place (Ostend) I met with scarce anything else but recruiting parties beating up for soldiers to form new regiments for the emperor's service in Germany, whither they are sent in parties of 100 as they are picked up."
The Spaniards are beginning their old game in the West-Indies, and on the continent of South America, among the British logwood cutters, whom they are resolved not to leave unmolested. It was a similar conduct, brought on the war in 1744, which broke out suddenly. Jamaica, in its present defenceless state, would be a precious morsel for the house of Bourbon.
American Occurrences.
BALTIMORE, April 18. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Montgomery county, to his friend in Baltimore, dated April 11, 1788.
ON Thursday evening last, the election for members to represent Montgomery county in convention, was concluded, when the state of the poll appeared as follows:
 Thomas Crampin, 896  Richard Thomas, 895  William Deakins, 894  Benjamin Edwards, 894  Edward Burgess, 313  Lawrence O'Neal, 312  William Holmes, 312  Henry Griffith, 311 
The four first gentlemen had uniformly declared themselves in favor of the new constitution; the unsuccessful candidates openly avowed their opposition; the voters, free from every influence of personal regard, were actuated solely by their respective wishes to ratify or reject the proposed government. By the mode we have pursued, the sense of the people immediately appears, and if a majority of the counties have conducted themselves in the same manner, our convention can spend but little time in discussion and deliberation. It is to be lamented, that gentlemen of popular talents, who have used such exertions to obtain seats in convention, will have no opportunity to display those wonderful and irresistible talents, which have so often "made the worse appear the better cause."
PHILADELPHIA, April 26. Extract of a letter from Col. Isaac Sherman, a surveyor appointed by the state of Connecticut to assist in surveying the western lands, addressed to his excellency governor Huntington, dated Dec. 31, 1787.
"S I R, "I was honored with your letter of the 23d of March last, which I received in New-York, a day or two before I left that city for the western wa-
ters. Immediately on my arrival in Pittsburgh, I wrote to you on the several subjects required, and have since been informed that my letter did not come to hand.
"The face of the country from Pittsburgh for near 300 miles down the Ohio, is generally mountainous 20 or 30 miles from the river. That part of the country reserved by Connecticut state begins north of the termination of those high ridges or mountains, and is agreeably varied with plains, intersected by rivers and rivulets, and adorned with gentle eminences, covered with various kinds of trees; the cultivation of the hills is by no means difficult; they would produce grain and the culmiferous plants; the rich uplands and intervalles are exceeding proper for the cultivation of Indian corn, hemp and tobacco.
"From the best information I could obtain, and I was very solicitous in my inquiries, there is not a better tract of land of the same extent in the western territories of the United States; excepting that on the waters of Wabash, Illinois and Mississippi rivers—for a grazing country, it will not be inferior to any; it is well watered, includes plenty of iron ore, stone coal, and a number of valuable salt springs. There are several good harbours on Lake Erie; that at the mouth of the Cayahoga is an excellent one, and sloops of 60 tons burthen loaded may ascend this river 30 miles.
"Were I to indulge my opinion, a settlement at the mouth, or near the head of the navigation of the Cayahoga river, would raise the price of the lands, give security to the intermediate parts of the country, promote its population, and increase the number of purchasers.
"If the state would give proper encouragement therefore, there is every probability that a sufficient number of persons would be induced thereby to emigrate and establish a settlement at either of those places. The sources of the Cayahoga and Muskingum rivers are adjacent, and by them is an easy communication with the waters of Lake Erie and the Ohio river.
New-York, May 1.
BY the intelligence in this paper, from foreign climes, our readers will discover, that other nations than those with which we are conversant, are subject to the curse of war and tumults. The city intelligence can be summed up in a few words: all classes of people have been sedulously employed in the business of ELECTION; it is said, that a greater number of votes have already been presented at this election, than was ever known, at any one time, to be presented in this city, and the poll not yet closed. The city has been very quiet, and, to the no small exultation of the anti-republicans, they have a large majority of votes. Next Thursday's paper shall contain a circumstantial return of the members for convention, senate, and assembly.
The convention of Maryland commenced their session on Monday, the 21st ultimo. From this respectable body we have yet no direct information; reports are various; one of which says: On motion, That the constitution, proposed by the late general convention, be read and considered, paragraph by paragraph, the house divided, and there appeared for the motion, five, against it, fifty-seven. That a resolution had passed for the reading of the constitution; and that the question be put that the same be adopted. That the constitution had been twice read, and that it was expected to be adopted on Saturday. That the people of that state had generally attended the polls at the election of their delegates; and that the friends of the new constitution were to their enemies, as 64 to 12, according to the most accurate accounts of those who had the best means of information.—Those who have been privy to the circumstances of the election in that state, will please to judge of the probability of this account. If this be true, even the friends to the proposed government will be greatly disappointed.
After this paper was ready for press, it was reported—That the Convention of Maryland had adopted the new Constitution, SIXTY-THREE ayes, ELEVEN nays—and that a committee was appointed to draw up amendments to the system, to be introduced in the same manner as they were by the Convention of Massachusetts.
Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Edward, Smith, from Shelburne.
The ship Neptune, James Scott Master, and the ship Mary, Tristam Barnard, Master, lying at the Long Wharf, Boston, will sail for London about the middle of this month.
English newspapers, received by the late arrivals from London and Liverpool, further advise, That the Turks had threatened to attack the port of Trieste. That when the Prussian minister, Baron de Thulemeyer, took leave of the states-general of the United Provinces, their high mightinesses presented him with a letter to the Prussian Monarch, expressive of their fullest satisfaction of his excellency's conduct during the many years he has resided among them. That in respect to the exiled magistrates, the most Christian King relaxes not at all. That on the 13th of February the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of Great-Britain adjourned to Westminster-Hall, (proceeding thither in order, all in parliamentary robes, in awful grand procession) and there commenced the trial of Warren Hastings, Esq.—The court being opened, the serjeant at arms, with a very audible voice, made the usual proclamation; after which, in old blunt English, he summoned "Warren Hastings, Esq. to come forth in court, to save thee and thy bail, otherwise the recognizance of those and thy bail will be forfeited."
Mr. Hastings immediately appeared at the bar with his two sureties, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Sumner, and immediately dropped on his knees, when the Lord Chancellor signified that he might rise. He seemed very infirm, and much indisposed. He was dressed in a plain poppy coloured suit of cloaths.
After Hastings appeared at the bar, a proclamation as follows was made:
"Whereas charges of high crimes and misdemeanors have been exhibited by the knights, citizens and burgesses in parliament assembled, in the

name of themselves, and of all the commons of Great-Britain, against Warren Hastings, Esq.— All persons concerned are to take notice, that he now stands on his trial, and they may come forth in order to make good the said charges."
Proclamation being made, the lord chancellor rose, and addressed the prisoner as follows: "Warren Hastings, You are now called upon, after each expedient allowance for your defence. You have had bail; you have counsel. Much time also has been granted you, becoming well the circumstances of your case."
"For the matter in the charges is most momentous, and the dates are remote, since the occurrences in those charges alleged against you are said to have been committed."
"These advantages you must understand while you feel. You are to deem them not an indulgence of this house, but the fair claim of right; a concession of nothing, but what you have in common with all around you, what every British subject may ask, and every British tribunal must allow."
"Conduct your defence, therefore, in a manner that may benefit your station, and the magnitude of the charges against you. Estimate rightly the high character of those you have to answer—the commons of Great-Britain!—who, at once, perhaps, attach likelihood to doubt, and enforce authority certainly on accusation."
To which Mr. Hastings made almost verbatim the following answer:
"My Lord, I am come to this high tribunal equally impressed with a confidence in my own integrity, and in the justice of the court before which I stand."
For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c. MR. GREENLEAF,
WE are told, that the Maryland convention, without a greater exception than eight or ten members, are for adopting the new constitution! This I eagerly revolved in my mind, being in some measure astonished—nor will I believe it until better authenticated. I remember a circumstance which took place at Boston! On the very eve of their convention's adopting the constitution, reports were busily circulated, and it was exultingly inferred in several of the Boston papers, that the convention of North-Carolina had ratified the constitution. Without examining whether the convention was in session or not, full credence was given to this report; and after the adoption of the constitution, it was discovered, that the North-Carolina convention were not in session until July! Judge ye, who will, of the intention of this report. Whether the reports from Maryland are designed to unduly bias the present election, I will not affirm, but I profess, that no other rational reason can be given, as it is known that a great number of the members in that convention are strongly opposed to the constitution, in its present form.
29th April. DETECTOR.
For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c. MR. GREENLEAF,
THE federal ticket for the assembly is poisoned by the name of a man, whose mind is as dirty with avarice, as Rolten Row used to be with excrement, or our late surgeons-hall was, with putrid entrails.—This man would a second time betray the Messiah for less than thirty pieces of silver.—The devil once tempted Christ with a view of a pleasant tract of land, and he refused him the required homage. If Satan was to shew him a goodly location he would reverently bow his awkward head and kiss his black**.
From the MARYLAND JOURNAL, &c. ANN-ARUNDEL COUNTY ELECTION.
FOR several months past, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, James Carroll, and Brice Worthington, Esquires, had offered themselves as candidates for this county, declaring that they were for ratifying the proposed national government without any amendments. On the Thursday preceding the election, Jeremiah Townly Chase, John Francis Mercer, and Benjamin Harrison, Esquires, at the solicitation of the people, declared themselves candidates on the avowed principle of not agreeing to the national government, unless such amendments could be previously obtained, as would secure the great and essential rights of the people. At the opening the election, John Hall, Esquire, was polled with the candidates in favor of the national, falsely called the federal government; and Samuel Chase, Esq. of Baltimore town, was polled without his knowledge or intention, in the room of Governor Smallwood, who was solicited to stand, but being at his seat in Charles County, the letters did not reach him in time.—His Excellency came up on Monday evening last; the arrangement being made, and the election so far advanced, it was too late to open a poll for him.—Mr. Chase, on hearing of the opposition, went at the request of the inhabitants on Elk-Ridge, to give them information, and his opinion of the national government; he then came to Annapolis for the same purpose, and on his arrival found the election begun, and his name on the polls.—The propriety of adopting the government was fully debated before the people—and on Thursday afternoon, the polls were closed by consent, and Jeremiah Townly Chase, Samuel Chase, John Francis Mercer, and Benjamin Harrison, Esquires, were elected: with information, the people in every county would act in the same manner, and reject a government that, unless considerably altered, will, most probably, enslave them and their posterity.

THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the state of New-Jersey; it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New-Bridge: on the lot next the river is a STONE DWELLING-HOUSE, two stories high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry cellar, and a dwelling-room underneath on the ground floor (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large kitchen adjoining: Also, a poultry-house and a new barn; in the rear of the dwelling-house is a beautiful green, ornamented with fruit-trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial dock, newly made, on which is a store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary spring and well at the dwelling-house, from which the meadow may be watered: there is also a garden with a variety of the best fruit-trees: on the lot on the opposite side of the road, stands a commodious store, commanding trade of the back country; also a young orchard of good fruit trees. 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 enclosed 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.

New-York, Elizabeth Town, and Philadelphia
New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By first attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.
No racing allowed in this line.
