BOSTON, July 14. Yesterday arrived Captain Williams, in the Schooner Polly, in 17 days from St. Eustatia. He informs that 4200 troops arrived at Barbadoes from England near the close of May, and that 2000 more were soon expected—that they were in momentary expectation of a packet's arriving with a declaration of WAR—England against France. Yesterday, P. M. put in here in distress, a ship from North-Carolina bound for some part of Europe, laden with naval stores. Gentlemen who arrived here yesterday, in the New-York Packet, in 37 hours from that city, inform us, that there is a great probability that the Constitution will not be ratified by the Convention of that State, during their present session; and that an adjournment for two or three months was trying for. There are in Convention 19 in favor, and 46 against the Constitution. The city of New-York, and the country adjacent, are determined to adhere to the Union, even if their Convention should reject the Constitution—and intend applying to the Federal Government for support therein. The Federalists of New-York State, own 9-10ths of the property—and are more nearly opposed to it in numbers. The city of Newport, and the town of Providence, in the district of Rhode-Island, will, we are told, petition the first Congress to divide the State between Connecticut and Massachusetts. The debates in the Convention of New-York, have been conducted with a greater degree of warmth and acrimony, than in any other part of the Union. This retards the business on which they were met—and unless banished, will operate to the rejection of the Constitution.
NEW-YORK, July 19. The rapid progress which the Federal Constitution has made towards completion, is as astonishing as it is happy. In the time of war, when America was invaded by the fleets and armies of Britain, the instrument for uniting the States was not accepted in several years after it was submitted to the States.—This being the case, it was hardly to be expected that a similar instrument would, in time of leisure and peace, be completed in a quarter part of the time. A year hath not yet expired since the proceedings of the General Convention were promulgated, and in less than a year the most sanguine could not have expected its completion. Extract of a letter from Lexington, Kentucky, to a gentleman in Winchester, Virginia, dated May 27, 1788. Our country is exceedingly infested with hostile savages this year: A number of families are destroyed: The militia constantly in motion to guard the frontiers, and to little purpose: Several valuable boats have been taken on the Ohio, and the passengers totally destroyed: Col. Joseph Mitchell, who lived at the falling springs, and his son, a few days ago, unfortunately fell a prey to Indians, on the river, near the falls of Ohio. This day I have account of Mr. Henry Christie, who lately married Mr. Cartmill's daughter in your neighborhood, and some others, being killed by Indians, on Salt River as he was conveying up his goods in a boat; his lady is a young widow, and a great cause of lamentation. Our people appear amazingly hardened; dying by Indians makes little impression; familiarity is the cause. The following is an extract of a letter from a young man (a private in Gen. Harmer's corps) of singular discernment, and a share of literature which might do honor to many possessed of commissions; dated Fort Harmar, May 8th. On the 27th day of February last a subaltern, serjeant, and corporal, with sixteen privates, among whom was myself, were ordered out on command into the Indian country, being sent for by the king of the Delawares—It is seventy miles from this place to their incampment, and we were three days and an half in performing the march. We were to return the next day, but king Pipes requested the officer to leave a young man with him two days longer, when he designed to visit Fort Harmar, with a party of his nation, for trade. The officer appointed myself and another to draw lots, neither of us chusing to remain in the hands of the Savages—The lot fell upon me, and I tarried, and was in their hands four days before they with me reached this post—they used me very tenderly and with much kindness. A few days subsequent to this I was again ordered out to accompany a party of Wiandots and Delawares; was with them twenty days, and treated very decently though I had no use for my tongue. Soon after, myself and one other went with another party, of Delawares and Wiandots, eighty miles up the Muskingum.—These fellows had a great plenty of liquors, and kept most of the time drunk, which made them very quarrelsome, and abusive to us; but the Squaws hid their arms, and protected us; we were with them eleven days; and on their return they requested that I might be sent out with them again; but, on my representation of their treatment, the commanding officer of the garrison refused to give them any more men for such purposes. There are now here a number of Delawares trading very peaceably. Extract of a letter from Middletown, June 14. Some time last week, Capt. Joseph Edwards, of Meriden, in Wallingford, in hiring a swarm of Bees, received a sting from one of them in his temple, of which wound he expired in about fifteen minutes. Yesterday arrived the Schooner Polly, Todd, in 16 days from St. Thomas; Schooner Fair Abigail, Thurston, from New Providence, in 11 days; Sloop Polly, Hopkins, from Cape Francois, in 14 days; Sloop Friendship, King, from Edenton, N. C. in 11 days; and Sloop Washington, Webster, in four days from Boston. Remarkable encounter of a white man with two Indians. In a letter to a gentleman in Philadelphia. Westmoreland, April 26, 1779. DEAR SIR, I WROTE you a note a few days ago, in which I promised you the particulars of an affair between a white man of this country, and two Indians: now I mean to relate the whole story, and it is as follows: The white man is upwards of sixty years of age; is named David Morgan, a kinsman to Col. Morgan of the rifle battalion. This man had, through fear of the Indians, fled to a fort about twenty miles above the province line, and near the East side of Monongahela river. From thence he sent some of his younger children to his plantation, which was about a mile distant, there to do some business in the field. He afterwards thought fit to follow, and see how they fared. Getting to his field, and seating himself upon the fence, within view of his children, where they were at work, he spied two Indians making towards them; on which he calls to his children to make their escape,
quent infirmity would permit; but soon found he would be overtaken, which made him think of defence. Being armed with a good rifle, he faced about, and found himself under the necessity of running four or five paces towards the Indians, in order to obtain a shelter behind a tree of sufficient size. This unexpected manœuvre obliged the Indians who were close by, to stop where they had but small timber to shelter behind, which gave Mr. Morgan an opportunity of shooting one of them dead upon the spot. The other taking the advantage of Morgan's empty gun, advanced upon him, and put him to flight a second time, and being lighter of foot than the old man, soon came up within a few paces, when he fired on him but fortunately missed him. On this Mr. Morgan faced about again, to try his fortune, and clubbed his firelock. The Indian by this time had got his tomahawk in order for a throw, at which they are very dextrous. Morgan made the blow, and the Indian the throw, almost at the same instant, by which the little finger was cut off Morgan's left hand, and the one next to it almost off, and his gun broke off by the lock. Now they came to close grips. Morgan put the Indian down; but soon found himself overturned, and the Indian upon him feeling for his knife, and yelling most hideously, as their manner is when they look upon victory to be certain. However, a woman's apron, which the Indian had plundered out of a house in the neighborhood, and tied on him, above his knife, was now in his way, and so hindered him getting at it quickly, that Morgan got one of his fingers fast in his mouth, and so deprived him of the use of that hand, by holding it, and disconcerted him considerably by chewing it; all the while observing how he would come on with his knife. At length the Indian had got hold of his knife, but so far towards the blade, that Morgan got a small hold of the hinder end; and as the Indian pulled it out of the scabbard, Morgan giving his finger a severe screw with his teeth, twitched it out through his hand, cutting it most grievously. By this time they were both got partly on their feet, and the Indian was endeavoring to disengage himself; but Morgan held fast to the finger, and quickly applied the point of the knife to the savage's owner; a bone happening in the way, prevented its penetrating any great depth, but a second blow directed more towards the belly, found free passage into his bowels. The old man turned the point of the knife upwards, made a large wound, burying the knife therein, and so took his departure instantly to the fort, with the news of his adventure. On the report of Mr. Morgan, a party went out from the fort, and found the first Indian where he fell; the second they found not yet dead, at one hundred yards distance from the scene of action, laid in the top of a fallen tree, where he had picked the knife out of his body, after which had come out parched corn, &c. and had bound up his wound with the apron aforementioned; and on first sight, he saluted them with, How do do broder, how do do broder? But alas, poor savage, their brotherhood to him extended only to tomahawking, scalping, and to gratify some peculiar feelings of their own, skinning them both; and they have their skins now in preparation for drum heads. On Wednesday afternoon departed this life, Dr. EBENEZER CROSBY, after a lingering sickness which he endured with the most exemplary resignation: And yesterday afternoon his remains were deposited in the family vault, attended by his friends, the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a Member, and a large concourse of citizens, who thus paid their last tribute of respect to the memory of so worthy and valuable a Member of Society.

Ordered, That the consideration of this motion be the order of the day to-morrow. Thursday, July 3, 1788. The order of the day being called for, the motion of Mr. Brown was read in the words following: "Whereas it appears to Congress that the state of Virginia, by two acts of the legislature thereof, one entitled "An act concerning the erection of the district of Kentucky into an independent State," passed at their October session, in the year 1785, the other passed at their October session, in the year 1786, entitled "An act making further provision for the erection of the district of Kentucky into an independent state;" hath entered into a solemn compact with that part of the said state called the district of Kentucky, permitting the same to be erected into a separate and independent state, to be admitted into union with the United States, as a federal member thereof, upon certain terms and conditions in the said acts stipulated; and it further appearing to Congress that the said district in convention assembled, did in conformity to the said acts, by certain resolutions entered into on the 22d day of September, 1787, determine that it was expedient that the said district should be erected into an independent state, on the terms and conditions specified in said acts, and did present to Congress an address praying to be admitted into union with the United States as a federal member. And whereas it appears to Congress to be just and reasonable that the application of the said district of Kentucky should be complied with; Resolved therefore, that the United States in Congress assembled do ratify and confirm the compact entered into between the state of Virginia and the district of Kentucky, agreeably to the acts and resolutions aforesaid; and that the said district be admitted into union with the United States as an independent federal member on the 1st of Jan. 1789, and be titled the commonwealth of Kentucky. Resolved, That Congress will release the state of Virginia from all federal obligations arising within the said district after the said first day of January, 1789, and from such part of her quota of the continental debt as shall be apportioned to the said district whenever the same shall have been ascertained agreeably to the stipulations of the compact aforesaid. Resolved, That the said district shall be admitted to a representation in Congress after the said first day of January, 1789, provided from an accurate census it shall appear that the said district contains sixty thousand inhabitants." A motion was made by Mr. Dane, seconded by Mr. Tucker, to postpone the consideration of the foregoing motion, in order to take up the following. "Whereas application has been lately made to Congress by the legislature of Virginia and the district of Kentucky for the admission of the said district into the federal union, as a separate member thereof, on the terms contained in the act of the said Legislature, and in the resolutions of the said district relative to the premises. And whereas Congress, having fully considered the subject, did on the 3d day of June last Resolved, That it is expedient that the said district be erected into a sovereign and independent state, and a separate member of the federal union, and appointed a committee to report an act accordingly, which committee on the second instant was discharged, it appearing that nine states had adopted the constitution of the United States, lately submitted to conventions of the people; and whereas a new confederacy is formed among the ratifying states, and there is reason to believe that the state of Virginia including the said district, did on the 25th of June last become a member of the said confederacy: And whereas an act of Congress, in the present state of the government of the country, severing a part of the said State from the other parts thereof, and admitting it into the confederacy formed by the articles of confederation and perpetual union, as an independent member thereof, may be attended with many inconveniences, while it can have no effect to make the said district a separate member of the federal union. Congress assembled under the said articles of confederation, to adopt any other measures relative to the premises than those which express their sense, that the said district ought to be an independent member of the union as soon as circumstances shall permit proper measures to be adopted for that purpose: Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of Congress, relative to the independency of the district of Kentucky, be transmitted to the legislature of Virginia, and that the said legislature be informed, that as the constitution of the United States is now ratified, Congress think it inadvisable to adopt any further measures for admitting the district of Kentucky into the federal union, as an independent member thereof, under the articles of confederation, and perpetual union; but that Congress thinking it expedient that the said district be made a separate state and member of the union as soon after proceedings shall commence under the said constitution as circumstances shall permit, recommend it to the said legislature and to the inhabitants of the said district, to alter their acts and resolutions relative to the premises, as to render them conformable to the provisions made in the said constitution, to the end that no impediment may be in the way of the speedy accomplishment of this important business. On the question to postpone for the purpose above mentioned, it passed in the affirmative, and the first motion being postponed and the second taken into consideration and amended, on the question to agree to the motion as amended it passed in the affirmative as follows: Whereas application has been lately made to Congress by the legislature of Virginia and the district of Kentucky for the admission of the said district into the federal union, as a separate member thereof, on the terms contained in the acts of the said legislature, and in the resolutions of the said district relative to the premises. And whereas Congress having fully considered the subject, did, on the third day of June last, resolve that it is expedient that the said district be erected into a sovereign and independent state, and a separate member of the federal union; and appointed a committee to report an act accordingly, which committee on the second instant was discharged, it appearing that nine states had adopted the constitution of the United States, lately submitted to conventions of the people. And whereas a new confederacy is formed among the ratifying states, and there is reason to believe that the state of Virginia including the said district, did on the 25th of June last become a member of the said confederacy: And whereas an act of Congress, in the present state of the government of the country, severing a part of the said State from the other parts thereof, and admitting it into the confederacy formed by the articles of confederation and perpetual union, as an independent member thereof, may be attended with many inconveniences, while it can have no effect to make the said district a separate member of the federal union.
Congress assembled under the said articles of confederation, to adopt any other measures relative to the premises than those which express their sense, that the said district ought to be an independent member of the union as soon as circumstances shall permit proper measures to be adopted for that purpose: Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of Congress, relative to the independency of the district of Kentucky, be transmitted to the legislature of Virginia, and also to Samuel M c Dowell, Esquire, late president of the said convention; and that the said legislature and inhabitants of the district aforesaid be informed, that as the constitution of the United States is now ratified, Congress think it inadvisable to adopt any further measures for admitting the district of Kentucky into the federal Union, as an independent member thereof, under the articles of confederation, and perpetual union; but that Congress thinking it expedient that the said district be made a separate state and member of the union as soon after proceedings shall commence under the said constitution as circumstances shall permit, recommend it to the said legislature and to the inhabitants of the said district, to alter their acts and resolutions relative to the premises as to render them conformable to the provisions made in the said constitution, to the end that no impediment may be in the way of the speedy accomplishment of this important business. ** THE PROCESSION is postponed till WEDNESDAY, the 23d instant.

The Inhabitants of the City or NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington'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 assiduity to the path 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, Wall-street, with a warrant to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three 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.
