COUNCIL
Philadelphia, April 14th, 1788.
Upon the application of the honorable Charles Hellstedt, Esquire, Swedish Consul, requesting that Council would be pleased to direct the publication of a letter which he has received from one of his Swedish Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, informing him of the strict neutrality, which his Swedish Majesty has thought proper to adopt, at this time, when a war is kindling between the Court of Russia and the Ottoman Porte; and directing him to make the same known to all Swedish subjects who may be within his department, and to forbid them to take any part directly, or indirectly, in any enterprize against merchant's vessels of the two Empires.
Ordered, That the said letter be published.
Extract from the Minutes,
CHARLES BIDDLE, Secretary.
TRANSLATION.
Stockholm, the 9th November, 1787.
SIR,
THE war now kindling between Russia and the Ottoman Porte, will probably excite a desire amongst particular people, to arm corsairs, or to be interested in armaments against merchant vessels of the two Empires, and the King, not willing to grant his protection to enterprizes, founded on hopes of an illicit gain, and contrary to the neutrality his Majesty has thought proper to adopt, has commanded me to inform you of these, his sentiments, and by these authorises you, Sir, to forbid all Swedish subjects, who may be under your department, to take any part, directly or indirectly in such enterprizes, either by selling their vessels to be employed in piracy against the subjects of Russia, or those of the Porte, or chartering them for that purpose, or to enrol themselves on board vessels in that employment—In order to do your duty in this regard, it is the King's will, that you make the above, his orders, known to all it may concern, conformably to the strictest principles of neutrality.

Mr. PRINTER,
I AM sorry to see my fellow-citizens possessed of such strong propensities to discourage science. When I saw the mob collected together on Sunday se'nnight, at the hospital, I conceived it would be productive of nothing more than of tracing the origin of the late indecent dissections, which would most unquestionably have been the case, had the business been confined to the rabble only. But, Sir, people, who stile themselves Philosophers, and of the first magnitude, were the principal instruments that were the cause of such irreparable devastation taking place. What I mean by devastation must appear obvious, when I asseverate to you, that an Anatomist, whose name I am informed is Post, had committed to the mercy of the rioters anatomical preparations which would have done him honor in any country, and such as were absolutely necessary for elucidating many obscure facts in that useful science denominated Surgery, the basis of which is Anatomy. These preparations were so wonderfully beautiful, and the appearance of his theatre so widely different from the gentleman's, to whom, I am told, has been given the Professorship of Anatomy in this University; I say, that the apartments of Mr. Post were so much like a man of true science, that had not the room, which is said to be the one occupied by the Professor, been examined into, they certainly would have suffered it to have remained in a perfect quiescent state. The Professor, it is promulgated, about three months since, advertised, that he intended exhibiting a complete course of anatomical lectures; in consequence of which, many students took out tickets to attend him. His proposals were, to treat principally on practical anatomy, and to speak occasionally on surgery. Men of veracity say, his engagements have not been fulfilled in any one thing; he has given a few lectures only, and those in a most unscientific manner. How true these assertions are, Mr. Printer, I have not had time to enquire, my only motives in appearing in this spurious way, is, if possible, to produce to the world proper facts, and thereby to allay the volatility of the people. The mode, no doubt, in which the gentlemen concerned in dissections, have carried them on, has been remote from decency and decorum; and the situation, which one of the rooms was discovered to be in, when attacked by the mob, is sufficient to convince the rational part of mankind, that the persons employed in it stand charged for all robberies that have recently been committed on the public cemeteries, if any such thing has been the consequence; for my part, I very much doubt the medical students having visited any such places of interment, for dead bodies; I rather believe, that the only subjects procured for dissection, are productions of Africa, or their descendants, and those too, who have no friends, and have been transmitted to gaols, and elsewhere, for having been guilty of burglary and other capital crimes; and if those characters are the only subjects of dissection, surely no person can object.
I must just mention, procatarctic to my taking leave, that the preparations most valuable, found in Mr. Post's room, were made during his residence in London, while he was there, for the purpose of completing himself in his profession. This, I believe is well known, and can be properly attested to. Several artists who have visited his Museum for the purpose of taking sketches of a number of his beautiful and well executed anatomical preparations, will appear in refutation of this assertion. It may be supposed, as I have exerted myself energetically and feelingly in this contingency, that I am concerned. Far be it from whoever may peruse this, to imagine so, or model in such constructions; my motives, as I have already fully mentioned, are merely those of a man, who is a strong advocate for science, and who wishes to see every species of scientific erudition flourish in his country.
April 21.
An ACT, to regulate the Exportation of FLAX-SEED and LUMBER, passed the 1st of March, 1788.
WHEREAS flax-seed and lumber have become articles of great exportation from this State, and it is necessary that their credit at foreign markets be established:
Therefore, 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 no flax-seed shall be exported from this State to Ireland or Scotland, but what shall be well-cleaned, and put in casks of two sizes only, one of which shall be of the following dimensions, viz. two feet nine inches long, and twenty-four inches diameter in each head, and made as nearly straight as possible, and shall contain seven bushels, and shall be made of oak, and the heads of pine or oak, with three hoops on each head, and three hoops on each bilge, and nailed with at least three nails in each head hoop, and three nails in each quarter hoop, with a good lining hoop on each head; the
other size shall be made of the like materials, and shall contain three and an half bushels, with the same number of hoops, and shall be nailed in the same manner; and on each cask shall be branded the name of the city or county where cleaned, with the initial letter of the christian, and the surname at full length, of the owner or person who cleaned the same.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons shall ship on board any ship or vessel for exportation to Ireland or Scotland, any flax-seed which hath not been cleaned, marked and branded, as herein before directed, or in any other casks than such as are before mentioned, such person so offending shall forfeit and pay, for every cask so shipped on board, the sum of ten shillings, and the master and commander of every ship or vessel, who shall receive on board any ship or vessel for exportation as aforesaid, any flax-seed, not cleaned, marked, and branded, as aforesaid, or in any other cask, than such as are before-mentioned, shall forfeit and pay, the sum of five shillings, for each and every cask so taken on board.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all timber, boards, plank of every kind, scantling or shingles, before they are exported out of this State, shall be viewed and examined by some one of the inspectors, to be appointed by virtue of this act; and the said inspectors shall, on each board, plank, or piece of timber, mark, with a marking iron, the initial letters of his christian and surname, with the number of feet in each board, plank, or piece of timber; and the said inspectors shall not mark any, but what they shall deem merchantable and good; and no board shall be deemed merchantable, but what is at least six inches wide, clear of sap, and shall be of the actual thickness sold for.—That all shingles, commonly called short shingles, packed in bundles, shall be of only three sizes, the length of one size shall be eighteen inches long, and at least four inches broad; another size shall be twenty-four inches long, and at least five inches broad; the other size, twenty-seven inches long and at least five and an half inches broad, and shall be of a proper thickness, packed up in bundles, containing each two hundred and fifty; and the said inspector shall examine all such shingles in bundles, and none shall be deemed merchantable, other than such as shall be of the before-mentioned dimensions, and the said inspector shall take out of every bundle all unmerchantable shingles, and replace the same with merchantable ones, and shall brand on each bundle, the initial letter of his christian name, and his surname at full length, with the figures 250.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the person administering the government of this State for the time being, by and with the advice and consent of the Council of Appointment, shall appoint one inspector of lumber for the city and county of New-York (which said inspector is hereby authorised and required to appoint such number of deputies under him as shall be necessary, for whom he shall be accountable, which deputies are hereby fully empowered to act as deputy officers for carrying this act into execution); one inspector for the city of Albany, one inspector for the city of Hudson, one inspector for the landing at Kinderhook, and as many more in other parts of the State, as may from time to time be necessary.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the said inspectors and their deputies, before they enter upon the execution of their offices, shall take the following oath before some person authorised to administer the same, viz. "I do solemnly swear, that I will faithfully, truly, and impartially, according to the best of my judgment, skill and understanding, execute, do, and perform the office and duty of an inspector of lumber, according to the true intent and meaning of the laws of this State relative to the same."

The FEDERAL TICKET. To the CITIZENS of NEW-YORK. A Number of your Fellow Citizens deep- ly impressed with the importance of the crisis, and convinced that it is your and their interest to be represented at the present juncture, by men unequivocally attached to the establishment of a firm national Govern- ment, beg leave respectfully to recommend to your support and choice, the following persons as
Delegates to the Convention. JOHN JAY, RICHARD MORRIS, ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON, JOHN SLOSS HOBART, JAMES DUANE, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, RICHARD HARRISON, ISAAC ROOSEVELT, NICHOLAS LOW.

In the nomination of persons, to be de- puted to the Convention, no difficulty oc- curred. We flatter ourselves the characters proposed, will unite the suffrages of all those who sincerely have at heart, "That "which appears to be the greatest inte- "rest of every true American, — the con- "solidation of our Union, in which is in- "volved, our prosperity, felicity, safety, "perhaps our national existence."
In the determination on Members of the Senate and Assembly, some embarrassments have been experienced; the distance at which the Legislature are next to meet, calls for a sacrifice on the part of those who may be elected in this city and county, which few have it in their power to make. To fix upon persons qualified for the station, and possessed of the public confidence, who are at the same time in a situation to be able to serve, was a task of some difficulty: we shall be happy to find that you agree with us in opinion, that the persons now sub- mitted to your consideration, are worthy of your confidence and approbation.
Those who have in view the same object with ourselves, cannot but be sensible of the great importance of unanimity on the present occasion, and will consequently be on their guard against the artifices which already begin to be practised for the pur- pose of dividing them. In supporting the present nomination, let
ONE and ALL be our motto. It is not only of consequence, that men of proper characters and sentiments should be chosen, but that the sense of the citizens should also appear in the choice. This will give weight to the exertions of your representatives, and manifest to the world, that no considerations of state influence and state interest, can induce the Patriotic and Independent Electors of this city, to betray the cause of the Union.
