M I S C E L L A N Y.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
On the Federal Government. No. 2.
WE have seen that the late Honorable Convention, in designating the nature of the chief executive office of the United States, have deprived it of all the dangerous appendages of royalty, and provided for the frequent expiration of its limited powers—as our President bears no resemblance to a King, so shall we see the Senate have no similitude to nobles.
First then not being hereditary, their collective knowledge, wisdom and virtue are not precarious, for by these qualities alone are they to obtain their offices; and they will have none of the peculiar follies and vices of those men, who possess power merely because their fathers held it before them, for they will be educated (under equal advantages and with equal prospects) among and on a footing with the other sons of a free people—if we recollect the characters, who have, at various periods, filled the seats of Congress, we shall find this expectation perfectly reasonable. Many young men of genius and many characters of more matured abilities, without fortunes, have been honored with that trust.
Wealth has had but few representatives there, and those have been generally possessed of respectable personal qualifications. There have also been many instances of persons, not eminently endowed with mental qualities, who have been sent thither from a reliance on their virtues, public and private—as the Senators are still to be elected by the Legislatures of the States, there can be no doubt of equal safety and propriety in their future appointment, especially as no further pecuniary qualification is required by the constitution.
They can hold no other office civil or military under the United States, nor can they join in making provisions for themselves, either by creating new places or increasing the emoluments of old ones. As their sons are not to succeed them, they will not be induced to aim at an increase or perpetuity of their powers, at the expence of the liberties of the people of which those sons will be a part. They possess a much smaller share of the judicial power than the upper house in Britain, for they are not, as there, the highest court in civil affairs. Impeachments alone are the cases cognizable before them, and in what other place could matters of that nature be so properly and safely determined? The Judges of the federal courts will owe their appointments to the President and Senate, therefore may not feel so perfectly free from favor, affection and influence, as the upper house, who receive their power from the people, through their State representatives, and are immediately responsible to those assemblies, and finally to the nation at large—thus we see when a daring or dangerous offender is brought to the bar of public justice, the people who alone can impeach him by their immediate representatives, will cause him to be tried, not by Judges appointed in the heat of the occasion, but by two thirds of a select body, chosen a long time before, for various purposes by the collected wisdom of their State Legislatures. From a pretence or affection of extraordinary purity and excellence of character their word of honor is the sanction, under which these high courts in other countries, have given their sentence—but with us, like the other Judges of the nation, like the rest of the people, of which they are never to forget they are a part, it is required that they be on oath.
No ambitious, unself-serving or unexperienced youth can acquire a seat in this house by means of the most enormous wealth or most powerful connections, till thirty years have ripened his abilities and fully discovered his merits to his country—a more rational ground of preference surely than mere property.
The Senate though more independent of the people as to the free exercise of their judgement and abilities, than the house of representatives, by the longer term of their office, must be older and more experienced men, and the public treasures, the finances of the State, cannot be called forth but by their original motion. They may restrain the profession or errors of the house of representatives, but they cannot take the necessary measures to raise a national revenue.
The people, through the electors, prescribe them such a President as shall be qualified to controul them.
They can only, by conviction on impeachment, remove and incapacitate a dangerous officer, but the punishment of him as a criminal remains within the province of the courts of law to be conducted under all the ordinary forms and precautions, which exceedingly diminishes the importance of their judicial powers. They are detached, as much as possible, from local prejudices in favor of their respective States, by having a separate and independent vote, for the feasible and conscientious use of which, every member will find his person, honor and character seriously bound—He cannot shelter himself, under a vote in behalf of his State, among his immediate colleagues. As there are only two, he cannot be voluntarily or involuntarily governed by the majority of the deputation—He will be obliged, by wholesome provisions, to attend his public duty, and thus in great national questions must give a vote, of the honesty of which, he will find it necessary to convince his constituents.
(The Senate must always receive the exceptions of the President against any of their legislative acts, which, without serious deliberation and sufficient reasons, they will seldom disregard. They will also feel a considerable check from the constitutional powers of the State Legislatures, whose rights they will not be disposed to infringe, since they are the bodies to which they owe their existence, and are moreover to remain the immediate guardians of the people.
And lastly, the Senate will feel the mighty check of the House of Representatives—a body so pure in its election, so intimately connected, by its interests and feelings, with the people at large, so guarded against corruption and influence—to such, from its nature, above all apprehensions, that it must ever be able to maintain the high ground assigned to it by the federal constitution.

MUCH has been said to ridicule the idea of America having the means of supporting a trade to the Indies, but united industry in commerce, as well as united resolution in war, will conquer every difficulty. Of this, a remarkable instance is to be seen in the new town, called Hudson, about one hundred and sixty miles from New-York, on the banks of the North-river, and about 12 miles below Albany.
The purchase of the soil and the plan of this city, (for it is already incorporated) was not laid down, till late in 1785, by a company of Nantucket fishermen, chiefly quakers, who became too numerous for the narrow limits of that island. There are already, eight hundred houses in Hudson, two considerable ship yards, rope walks, two distilleries, soap and candle manufactories, and several vessels upon the stocks; besides the fur and peltry trade, it is an excellent situation for foreign, as well as the coasting and fishing trade. The industrious inhabitants of Hudson, have already sent ships to the Southern and Falkland island whale fisheries, to that on the coast of Brazil and round Cape Horn; to Newfoundland they have sent a number of smaller vessels, and taking example from their brethren in Philadelphia and New-York, they have fitted and sent out ships to India and China, in November last:—viz. the brig Columbia, 200 tons, Capt. Solomon Bunker—two of their ships, the Juno, Capt. Jenkins, and the Hudson, a fine new ship of 300 tons, have found their way to Dublin; the latter is now in the bay waiting for a fair wind, to waft her to the happy place, where freedom, the parent of industry dwells, and is showering down her blessings on the commercial inhabitants of that flourishing city, which in less than two years, has sprung up the capital of the North or Hudson's river, in spite of the opulent Dutch families, which are the proprietors of the ancient Orange or Albany city.

Extract of a letter from Nimeguen, July 26.
An ordinance has been published by the Prince, concerning the navigation of the Lecke and Wahal rivers, of which the Stadtholderian troops have the entire command; by which it is directed that no boats, barges, or other vessels shall be in any degree obstructed, paying the usual tolls, and conforming to the necessary regulation. This forbearance on the part of his Royal Highness, cannot fail to add to the number of his friends and well wishers.
The division of the Seven United Provinces is, in all probability, effected for ever. That union, which withheld Charles the Fifth, all the efforts of Philip the Second, the house of Austria, and the house of Bourbon, is now dissolved. And it may truly be said of these Provinces, as it was of Scotland,
What foreign arms could never quell, By civil rage and discord fell.
Advices received from a capital mercantile house in the city, say, that the merchants of Hamburgh and Lubec have agreed to furnish a capital loan to the Prince Stadtholder, the repayment of which is to be by instalments, and to be guaranteed by the Emperor and the King of Prussia.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman who went passenger in the Augustus Cæsar, Capt. Fowler, dated July 6, 1787.
Immediately after the ship came to an anchor, several greedy waiters, belonging to the custom-house, boarded us to look for contraband goods. In the midst of their search for so laudable a purpose, one of them, who seemed to be more industrious in the piratical vocation than any of his brethren, came in contact with a small box of mine, which was full of Stizelobium, or Cowabage, and demanded, in the King's name, to see the contents; upon which, the box being instantly opened, my gentleman, supposing it to be a valuable prize, eagerly thrust both his hands into it up to the wrists of his shirt, and was very soon convinced, to his sorrow, that it would not bear such rude examination with impunity; for, in a moment, the innumerable and piercing points of the Stizelobium entered the pores of his skin, already opened by the heat of the weather and the man's inquisitive diligence: This threw him into a paroxysm of anguish and involuntary agility, which was increased to an inconceivable degree by rubbing his hands over his face; whereby the inflexible spiculæ adhered to his lips, his nostrils and his eyes, and the poor devil jumped and skipped about the deck like an intoxicated monkey, to the infinite diversion of the spectators. At length he made shift to go over the side into a boat, muttering the heaviest curses upon the box, its contents, and the owner; in which he did not forget to include himself in for giving the reins to his inextinguishable curiosity.
Extract of a letter from Leyden, July 26.
The letters from Germany this moment arrived, announce the decease of the elector of Bavaria, who died of an apoplectic fit.—We wait the confirmation of this news.—They certainly mean the elector of Palatine, for the Bavarian dominions devolved to him on the death of the late elector, who had no heirs; and the electorate is vacant ever since.

Extract of a letter from London, July 18.
Curiosity brought me to see the glorious veteran, the defender of Gibraltar, presented to his Majesty under his new titles, in full expectation of seeing him honored with the warmest marks of grateful affection, royal dignity could bestow; but to my great surprise, the King received him with a formal bow, (and how do you do my Lord?) then turned his back on the hero that kept alive the renown of British valour, which had sunk low in the unnatural war, and with a face conjured into pleasing smiles, entertained a Privy Counsellor from your country about ten minutes, with congratulations on his deserved advancement, and repeated thanks for his support and services in his kingdom of Ireland.
On Sunday last Mr. Duff, engraver, was seized with an apoplectic fit on the road in the outlets, and instantly fell dead from his horse.—This ingenious artist was an engraver, and had been from his infancy deaf; but was not only a good engraver, but also an excellent proficient in electricity and other branches of natural philosophy. His mode of
receiving intelligence was by the communication of any friend's moving his fingers on a table or the wall, in the manner of writing, which he understood, though done in the most rapid manner.
We are informed that the course of the river Dodder, will be turned, so as to gain several hundred acres from the sea, at a moderate expence, agreeable to a plan which has been approved of, and will shortly be proceeded upon; by which means the navigation of our harbour will be rendered more secure, eventually deepening the bed of the Liffey, by a proper embankment.
K I N G S T O N, (Jamaica) August 29.
Yesterday being the day appointed by the Legislature for a solemn fast, in consequence of the storm, in the year 1782, it was observed in the customary manner.
A correspondent remarks the constables were yesterday very alert in enforcing among the Jews, due obedience to the solemnity of the day, very proper no doubt, but it would have been still more proper had they paid equal attention to the Christians. In future, Messrs. Sons of the Staff, be it your care that there are no distinctions. The man who acknowledges a Creator—that the elements are under his controul, and has witnessed the dire effects of their rage, yet will not allot one day to deprecate the anger of that Being on whom his all depends, should be taught to pay at least an outward respect to the religious institutes of the government that protects him.
UNITED STATES.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, October 3.
A correspondent laments the scandal to which our Legislature was on Friday last exposed by the wanton defection of nineteen of its members. It is thus that the affairs of government may be transferred from the majority to the minority, and the public business must either be transacted conformably to the will of a few men, or, conformably to their will, it must be left undone. The maxim of necessity, which has hitherto been employed to palliate so gross a violation of civil policy, could have no operation in the present case, for, the question was merely as to the mode of proceeding to appoint the Delegates of a Convention, which the house had already agreed it was proper and necessary to summon.—Could the matter of form therefore be magnified into the necessity, which excuses an attack upon the fundamental principles of government? Or, was it the mortification of a previous defeat, which introduced this attempt to counteract the end, by denying the means requisite to accomplish it?—Whatever was the motive, every honest citizen will deprecate the consequences; and we have only to hope, continues our correspondent, that this event, manifesting the evils of a weak and inefficient government, will excite a constant and universal attachment to a plan of a contrary description. In the mean time, let it be left to the seceding party to reconcile to their constituents and their consciences, a measure which, to a man of plain sense and common honesty, appears a wilful deviation from the legislative duties they were appointed to perform.
On Saturday last, at 3 o'clock, A. M. an express, forwarded by the Hon. Mr. Bingham, one of the Delegates from Pennsylvania, arrived in this city from Congress, with the resolution, recommending to each State to call a Convention, to take into consideration the federal government. It was read in the Assembly on Saturday forenoon, where it was adopted, with only 2 objecting votes.
From the time the resolution of Congress was passed till its adoption by the State of Pennsylvania was only 20 hours. Such is the zeal of Pennsylvania to show her attachment to a vigorous, free and wise frame of national government.
In consequence of the arrival of the unanimous resolution of Congress, and the adoption of it by our Assembly, the bells of Christ-church rang during the greatest part of Saturday. Many hundred citizens of the first character attended in the lobby, and at the door of the State-house, during the deliberations of the House on the calling of a Convention, and testified their joy upon the resolves being passed for that purpose by three heart-felt cheers.—In short, unusual joy appeared in every countenance (three or four officers of government excepted) and the day exhibited every where the most agreeable marks of the speedy resurrection of the prosperity and happiness of Pennsylvania.
It is with singular pleasure that we inform the public, that our German fellow citizens, in every part of the State, are in favor of the Federal Government. Honest and industrious men every where love order, and dislike paper money laws and constitutions. Among the nineteen absconders from the Assembly, there was but one German. Berks and Northampton counties have taken leave of the antifederal junto.—These ancient counties, inhabited chiefly with sober and industrious Germans, have shewn themselves to be firm friends to the constitution of the United States.
New-York, October 9.
On Friday last, Congress appointed his Excellency ARTHUR ST. CLAIR, Esq. now President of Congress, to be Governor of the Western Territory of the United States, with a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, and to exercise the office of superintendent of Indian Affairs, and to receive the pay and emoluments of the same, amounting to about eight hundred dollars per annum.
They have also appointed Winthrop Seargeant, Esq. to be Secretary to the Governor, with a salary of seven hundred and fifty dollars per annum.
Extract of a letter from an American House in Cape François, dated the 24th ult. to a gentleman in Boston.
We are informed by an ordinance of this day, that NO American vessel (except in distress) will be permitted to enter any French ports in the West-Indies, unless the Captain is provided with a pass from the Consul resident at the place of his departure.
Extract of a letter from Mr Andrew Ellicot, dated on the west side of Conawango, August 29, 1787, to his friend in Baltimore.
About the 16th of June, we began to extend the line, but soon met with unexpected difficulties;
the amazing high and steep ridges at the heads of the Tyoga, Allegany, and Cheeneffco rivers too overcame the strength of our pack-horses, and in a few weeks, more than one half were either killed, or rendered useless; but very fortunately, when our horses became unequal to the task of conveying our stores and baggage, we found ourselves on a small branch of the Allegany river. We then found it necessary to make use of the water to enable us to go on with the business, and in six days we made as many canoes, two of which were between 40 and 50 feet in length, the others about 35 feet.
These canoes with our stores, and uncommon collection of valuable instruments, we hauled 12 miles down a shallow stream, to the main Allegany river, where our difficulties appeared to be at an end—but how deceiving are appearances! We now found ourselves stopped by the Indians, and were compelled to hold a treaty with them, before they would let us proceed—The following are the speeches which were delivered on this occasion.
The Indians, with the aid of an interpreter, began their address—
Brothers!
We have now met agreeably to the appointment of yesterday, and are very thankful to the great Spirit, that our meeting is in health.—We perceive you are passing through our country with a number of men—we have likewise seen a line that is carrying on by some of your party. Your business, or object, we are entirely unacquainted with. We know of no treaty, or sale, whereby the lands in this part of the country became yours. Our young men are astonished, and alarmed at your proceedings. The whole of your business is yet involved in mystery, and darkness to us; and for your own safety, and a continuance of that peace which we desire may be perpetual, we now advertise you of the danger from our young men, and the consequent propriety of discontinuing the line. After this warning, if you still persist in carrying on the business, remember, we now clear ourselves of all blame, that may result from the warmth of our young men and warriors.
To this speech Mr. Ellicott returned the following answer.
Brothers!
We must heartily join with you in returning thanks to that great Spirit, which has enabled us to meet this day in health agreeably to the appointment of yesterday.
We now inform you that we are the Commissioners, and people, employed for the purpose of running a boundary line between your lands, and the lands of your brothers of Pennsylvania.
The people of Pennsylvania have ever been desirous of keeping the chain of friendship bright with their Indian brethren. They have never taken one inch of ground from them, or their forefathers by conquest; but have generously paid the full value of all they now possess.
The State of Pennsylvania is never to extend over the line we are now running. All the lands to the north of it, which you have not sold to the State of New-York, belong to you; and the land to the south of it, from the river Delaware to the Lake Erie, to your brothers of Pennsylvania, and the lands which you remained possessed of at the close of the late war, lying south of the line we are now carrying on to Lake Erie, your chiefs sold to the people of Pennsylvania, at the treaties held at Fort Stanwix, and McIntosh, in the year 1784; and received the last payment in full, at Tyoga, in the fall of the year 1785. And now to prevent any future differences about territory, we are setting up a marked stone, at the end of every mile in the line.
Brothers!
We came among you to do this business without fear; because it is right. You now talk of danger; but remember, we are doing the business of a whole State, and not the business of a few people, and the least injury done to one of our men, will be considered as done to all the inhabitants of Pennsylvania; and we give you warning, that if any accident should happen to one of our party, in consequence of the imprudence of any of your young men, it will be considered as done by you all; and call forth the resentment of the whole State, the consequences of which will certainly be much more dreadful than you have any idea of.
After this speech was delivered, a chief from one of the lower towns, spoke to the following effect.
Brothers!
I join in thanking the great Spirit for our meeting this day in health.
Brothers!
I was sent for by my brothers at this town, to treat about some business. I came blind—but my eyes are now opened. I know what you are about, and am satisfied. The thing appears right, the lands are sold, and belong to you. You need not fear any danger, I will go before you down the river, and inform my brothers what you are about—they will be satisfied, and I am willing to answer for your safety.
The whole council approved of the sentiments of their chief, and the treaty ended in a request for a sufficiency of rum, to make the old people feel themselves, and the young ones rejoice—We granted their request, and have ever since been treated by them with the greatest respect and tenderness. One of their towns is not more than one quarter of a mile from our present station.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Philadelphia.
Orders are issued from the admiralty office to equip and compleatly man 27 sail of the line, which are to have 3 months provision on board. Their destination is not yet made public, but from this and other concurring circumstances, it seems that if we are not in expectation of a war, our ministry at least wisely put themselves upon their guard; indeed the amazing number of ships that are getting ready in the several ports of France and Spain, is a circumstance that demands cautious attention. Orders are also gone to all the seaports in the Mediterranean to prevent any seamen of Great Britain from entering into foreign service, and to recall them home, and most of our colliers, homeward bound, are put into Harwich: The men having received information that press warrants are out, absolutely refuse to come up any further. Orders were likewise received at the King's brew-house to begin last Monday, and to brew every day, Sunday included: Eight ovens more than have been for some time, are likewise ordered to be opened at the King's bake-house, and the bakers to work extra in baking of biscuit to supply the ships ordered for sea.
Extract of a letter from Newshamshire, Sept. 20. How are the mighty fallen!—Poor Shays is at this instant cracking cheinuts in the vicinity of Lake

Champlaine. The situation of Shattuck is not much better, only it is possible he may be cracking walnuts.—This man you must know was considered by the insurgents as a character quite as important as Shays himself. The insurgents in general have returned to their homes, and as far as we can learn behave with decency and good order. As to those that are still lurking on the borders of Canada, they are literally “So worn, so wasted, so despis'd a crew As e'en Guy Carleton might with pity view.”

State of New-York, Court of Admiralty.
Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Gad Wells, and others, Libellants.
Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize, saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Burke, John Donnan and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M c Cormick for Hyem Cohen, and by William Cock for Richard Hall.
WHEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Fergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Eells and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London, in Connecticut, on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 30 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her foremast standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New-York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchandise so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 102, 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked F. S. 1 hoghead of spirits, marked E. No. 6, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 4, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 5, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. R. No. 3, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8, and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9, thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked HOC. fifteen other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the newspapers printed in New-York, the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Burke and John Donnan, on behalf of John Shannon, master, and Samuel Nesbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M c Kenzie, mariners, and Richard Hall, owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M c Cormick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen, of the island of Jamaica, hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sale of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq. for and on behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova-Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M c Kenzie and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson, which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said deserted vessel was a stout vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-irons round it, that she had black sides and yellow moulding, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck.—Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public notice and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandise, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of this notice and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787.

POET'S CORNER.
A QUIET CONSCIENCE.
CLOSE thine eyes, and sleep secure; Thy soul is safe, thy body sure; He who guards thee, he who keeps, Never slumbers, never sleeps.
A quiet Conscience in the breast Has only peace, has only rest: The music and the mirth of Kings Are out of tune, unless the sings: Then close thine eyes in peace, and sleep secure; No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure.
