NEW-YORK, May 28.
United States in Congress assembled, May 22d, 1788.
THE Committee consisting of Mr. Dane, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Irvine, Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Brown, to whom was referred a Motion of Mr. Dane, relative to public and unsettled Accounts, having reported,
That, on carefully examining the subject referred to them, they find that during the late war, and especially in the early periods of it, many millions of dollars were advanced by the United States to sundry persons, of the expenditures whereof proper accounts have not been rendered; and though the persons who have been entrusted with public monies have been frequently called upon to settle their accounts by the acts and officers of Congress, yet in many cases they have not produced or exhibited to the proper officers any documents or vouchers on which regular settlements can be made.—That several accounts of very considerable extent have been taken up, and so far palled on, that balances appear to be stated generally, and in some cases payments made, though it does not appear that the proper statements were made of the articles which composed those accounts, or that the regular vouchers were produced to support the charges in them. Accounts thus imperfectly stated and unsupported, the Committee conceive are justly liable to revision; and particularly so, as it does not appear that the parties have at any time considered them as being finally settled.—That from a general view of this subject, the Committee are induced to think and believe, that the United States have already suffered very great inconveniences, by inexcusable negligence and unauthorised delays, in persons entrusted with public monies, in not rendering and settling their accounts; and that it is become highly expedient that decisive measures be speedily adopted for closing all the unsettled accounts of the late war—and therefore the Committee are of opinion, That the Board of Treasury be directed, to cause suits to be commenced, in behalf of the United States, against all persons who stand charged with public monies or other property; and that they cause the same to be commenced within three months from this date, against all those persons who have been already specially required to settle their accounts by the proper officers, and who shall not within that time adopt and pursue measures effectual, in the opinion of the said Board, for settling the same; and within five months from this date, against all other persons so charged, and who shall not within that time adopt and pursue like measures: and, that when any material questions shall arise concerning any doubtful or partial settlements of accounts which may have been made, or concerning the operation of any particular suits, the said Board be directed to state to Congress, particularly the circumstances of the case, with their opinion thereon.
RESOLVED, That Congress agree to the said Report.
ACQUILA GILES and PETER VANDERTOORT, Esquires, are elected Members of Assembly for King's County.
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, May 20. "On Saturday evening last, a most daring robbery was committed, aggravated by the horrid circumstance of murder:—Two villains applied to John De Courle, Skipper of a small boat bound to Chester-town, for a passage, which was granted them—the boat left the wharf late in the afternoon, and when she had got a little below the fort, the villains threw the man at helm overboard; the skipper being then below in the cabin, and coming up to render him assistance, possibly not knowing the circumstance of his being thrown over, was stooping to get a rope to heave to him, when one of the villains struck him on the back of the head with an ax once or twice, which put an end to his existence: the person in the water had by this time swam along side, and begged so earnestly for his life, that he was taken on board and confined below." After the villains had plundered the cabin to the amount of 200 dollars, or upwards, they ran the boat up Petapico river in Ridgeley's cove about half a mile from the town, and made their escape. Between nine and ten o'clock, the news reached the town, when the constables and watch were dispatched in search of them. Several persons were apprehended on suspicion, but we do not learn whether any of them have been concerned in the murder. Among the suspicious characters taken up, was the noted Cassidy, who was pardoned last summer from merited death, on condition of being banished for ever from this state.
"A subscription has been opened in this town for the purpose of raising 200 dollars, to be offered as a reward for apprehending the perpetrators of the above-mentioned murder.—Upwards of fifty pounds has been already subscribed on this occasion."
The following are the particulars of the late unhappy accident at New-Orleans:—On Good Friday, the 1st of March last, at half after one P. M. a dreadful fire broke out in the house of the treasurer of New-Orleans; so violent, that notwithstanding all the pains and good disposition taken by the Governor and Intendant, it was impossible to stop the progress of it. The wind being very high and variable, the fire caught in several parts of the town almost at the same time; so that in the space of 4 or 5 hours, seven-eighths of the town were consumed; and the rapidity of the fire prevented almost every citizen from saving their merchandise and other effects; and upon a calculation made after the fire, it appeared that the loss amounted to about 6 or 7 millions of dollars. It is presumed, that from the representation made by the Governor and Intendant of Louisiana, of the calamitous situation of the inhabitants there, to his Catholic Majesty, that his liberality and piety will extend so far as to give his subjects such relief as will tend to the re-establishment of that colony in a short time. A great proof of the good intentions of that government appears by a late reimbursement of property, confiscated in an illicit trade, to the amount of between 70 and 80 thousand dollars, without waiting the king's pleasure—so well assured were they of that indulgence being granted to them by their King—and that this idea was first suggested by Don Manuel Serano.
M. Gossé, of Geneva, relates an anecdote, which, says he, is perhaps superior to the well known one of the Roman charity. "An artist, rather in years, had an ulcerous humor flying about his face in a most shocking manner, quite insupportable to all who approached it, on account of its pestiferous and noxious smell. No barber would perform the usual operation, and poor man found himself totally neglected, and at last abandoned by his very servant. His daughter, who was married, the mother of a family, and endowed with all the amiable and good qualities that do honor to her sex, saw with incredible sorrow her father's disease grow worse for want of proper assistance, and on account of the total neglect of his person. Moved by her filial affection, she surmounted all female prejudices, and took the resolution of going daily to practise in a barber's shop, the painful task of handling a razor. There she used to shave all the country people that presented themselves (the shop was of the inferior kind) and in a short time found herself sure of her hand. With true heart-felt joy, she went to her father, and looking at him tenderly, "Cheer up, my good father, said she, you shall be under no obligation to any body for the future; I'll take care of you." From that time this worthy and virtuous woman assiduously attended him till the hour of his death."

From the Columbian Magazine. OF WARREN HASTINGS, whose public conduct in India furnishes conversation, at this time, in every quarter of the globe, I beg leave to trouble you with the following domestic anecdote.
Many years after Mr. Hastings' residence in India, he became acquainted with the family of a German Baron, to whose lady (for whom he had conceived the most violent attachment) he made overtures of an amorous nature, which were rejected with disdain. His passion was not, however, to be subdued; and he endeavored to purchase from the husband what he had failed in soliciting from the wife. But the Baron's honor was superior to his fortune, and Hastings could not succeed by way of intrigue, either for love or money. Though the Baron's honor was superior to his fortune, his attachment to his lady was inferior to his avarice. He therefore proposed to obtain a divorce in consideration of a large sum to be paid into his hands by Mr. Hastings; and the preliminaries being adjusted upon this ground, he hastened to Germany, where the formalities of a legal separation were pronounced, and the Baron on his return to India, having made a surrender of his guardian spouse, punctually received the stipulated compensation. This transaction was concluded by a splendid marriage between Mr. Hastings and the lady, who became the partner of his rank and honor in India, and is now the sharer of his sorrows and degradation in England.
Thus we may learn how easy it is, in such cases (and I believe such cases will sometimes occur) to gratify the passion of a lover, without sacrificing the honor of the husband, or the virtue of the wife; and the repetition of the experiment might perhaps advance the happiness of domestic life, if the success were always to be the same; for Mr. Hastings has often been heard to say, that it was the best bargain he had ever made in his life.
LORD NORTH. This nobleman possesses great acuteness, which he has improved by art and experience. With considerable dignity he unites those powers of wit
which are both agreeable in adorning a narration, and particularly fertile and happy in exciting ridicule.
His memory is rich in the knowledge of antiquity, and happy in applying it to his purpose. His speeches distinguish him as an individual most amiably resolved to bear with the infirmities and follies of mankind; and often has his polished urbanity restrained the ill humor and asperity of others. His style, though not much ornamented, is not mean: he comprehends a subject readily, and explains it with success. It is not his finalised praise, that he not only says all that is necessary to his purpose; but that he never says more. Upon all occasions he discerns the proper limits; and would rather conclude, to avoid exciting tediousness, than hazard the failure of obtaining attention, by speaking too long. Considering him as a civilian, we cannot think him deficient in any one quality necessary to form the politician. To these accomplishments of the orator, possessed from nature, or acquired by diligence, is added the genuine and the greatest love of his country, whose ancient forms and discipline he not only understands to admiration, but defends, whenever they become subject matter of dispute, with vigor and with firmness.
If we investigate more minutely the character of his mind, we shall have occasion to observe, that when in possession of the highest dignity, and opposed by a powerful competitor, he conducted himself with the extremest moderation. We shall find him steady in his attachments, placable when offended, successful in inspiring that confidence which he never disappointed; never using his power to the depression of the weak, without the very appearance of criminality; unless it be imputed to him, that in the prosecution of the American war he did not keep pace with the ardor of public expectation. That war, originally occasioned by measures in which he had no concern, was undertaken by him with hesitation and reluctance. All resistance being ineffectual, he was compelled to arms—to arms already stained with unexpiated blood—by the combined efforts of the sovereign, the senate, and the people.
He has left us an impressive but melancholy example, how little the remembrance of past liberality benefits the generous donor; and how essentially noble minds may be injured by incautious credulity and the imputation of imagined criminality. Whenever with conscious rectitude his memory dwells on that acrimony of reproach which has pursued his character; whenever he calls to mind the faithlessness, the ingratitude of that gaudy tribe, whom he led by the hand to honors and to wealth—he will remember also, and exclaim in the language of Lycurgus, "What manner of citizen do you suppose me to be, who, having so long conducted public affairs, have perhaps given money for the prevention of injuries, but never received any thing to promote it?"
QUEBEC, April 17, 1788.
AN ACT OR ORDINANCE, Further to regulate the inland Commerce of this Province, and to extend the same.
WHEREAS a commercial intercourse with the neighboring states, to a certain extent, was opened in the course of the last year, and it is conceived that it may, under due restrictions, be made useful to this province and to Great-Britain: Be it enacted therefore by his excellency the governor and the legislative council, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that all goods, wares, and merchandise (beaver, peltries and furs excepted) of the growth or manufacture or product of this province, or of any other the dominions of Great-Britain, and such as may lawfully be imported in this province by sea, may be exported therefrom by land or inland navigation, to any of the neighboring states, free from duty, imposts or restraint. And there shall be the like freedom of importation from the said states into this province, if the same be made by the rout or communication of Lake Champlain and the river Sorel or Richelieu, and not otherwise, of the following enumerated articles, that is to say, malt, yards, bow-sprits, spars, plank, boards, knees, futlocks, or any kind of ship-timber; hoops, staves, shingles, clapboards, trees, wood, lumber, pitch, tar, turpentine, tallow, hemp, flax, and any kind of naval stores; seeds, wheat, rye, indian corn, beans, peas, potatoes, rice, oats, barley, and all other grains; butter, cheese, honey, horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and other live stock, and live provisions, and fresh fish; and whatsoever is of the growth of the said states; and gold or silver coin or bullion.
And be it enacted by the same authority, that the importation by land or inland navigation into this province, of rum, spirits, copper-coin, and all other goods, wares and merchandise not enumerated as aforesaid, be prohibited, and such articles seized and forfeited, together with every of the enumerated articles above mentioned, if the same shall not have been imported by the rout or communication aforesaid.
And be it enacted by the same authority, that the exportation of beaver, peltries and furs into any of the neighboring states be prohibited, and that the same shall be liable to seizure and forfeiture upon due proof of their being in the way towards either of the said states, with intent to be exported to the same by land or water; and it shall be conclusive evidence of such intent, if any person be found in the way to either of the said states, in any place between the south side of the river St. Lawrence, and the southernmost extent of his majesty's government, with beaver, furs or peltries, and without a certificate from one of his majesty's justices of the peace, certifying that oath has been made before him by the owner or proprietor, or his factor or agent, that the same beaver, peltries and furs are not intended for such exportation; and every person aiding and assisting, and directly or indirectly interested or concerned in any attempt to make such exportation, shall incur a fine of ten shillings for every pound weight of beaver, and ten shillings for every skin of furs or peltries, so exported or attempted and intended to be exported.
And for prohibiting still more effectually the exportation of beaver, peltries and furs, be it also enacted by the same authority, that all and every person or persons who shall export, or shall be aiding or assisting or directly or indirectly interested and concerned in exporting to the said states by any rout from any other part of his majesty's government, to the westward of St. Regis, any beaver, furs or peltries of any kind, such person or persons shall forfeit and become liable to pay thrice the fines and penalties above mentioned.
All which forfeitures, fines and penalties shall be recoverable and be divided, applied, or disposed of as directed by the statute of the fourteenth year of his majesty's reign, chapter eighty-eight, respecting the forfeitures and penalties therein mentioned.
Provided always, and it is also hereby enacted by the authority aforesaid, that nothing in this act contained, shall be construed to affect travellers to and from this province and their servants, boats, carriages, and necessary baggage (not including any article whatsoever for trading purposes); nor the effects of any kind of such persons coming to settle in this province, or others, as shall have permission, in the manner therein to be expressed, of the
governor or commander in chief, for the time being, under his hand and seal at arms; nor to affect the importation of any of the said enumerated articles, by any rout and communication to such posts, places and districts, and under such restrictions, and for such periods, as the governor and commander in chief, for the time being, may conceive to be expedient for the common weal, and from time to time declare and make known by proclamation under the great seal.
And it is also enacted by the same authority, that it shall be the duty of the officers of the customs to execute this act in the manner of executing any of the statutes made for the regulation of the plantation trade; and they shall be entitled to all such aid and assistance therein, as they are entitled to, and may demand, under all or any of the statutes aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, by the same authority, that for every certificate to be given by a magistrate as aforesaid, he shall be entitled to three of one shilling, and shall not receive therefor more, under the pain of extortion, and that any magistrate granting a certificate wickedly, knowingly and fraudulently to abet and effect the exportation of beaver, peltry or furs, forbidden by this act, and thereof duly convicted, shall be liable to such fine and imprisonment, as the court of king's bench may impose and adjudge, and thenceforth be incapable of any office, place or employment in his majesty's government: and that a wicked and corrupt oath, for obtaining a certificate, fraudulently to effect such prohibited exportation, shall upon due conviction expose the offender to the pains and penalties of false swearing and perjury; and such as advice, encourage, and persuade to bring about such wicked, fraudulent, and corrupt swearing, to the pains and penalties of subornation of perjury.
