Convention of New-York.
WEDNESDAY, July 16.
THE hon. Judge Hobart, seconded by his worship the Mayor of New-York, made the following motion, after having prefaced it with an excellent speech:
"WHEREAS since the time of electing the delegates now in convention assembled, the constitution submitted to their consideration hath been so far ratified as to become a system of government for ten of the United States, and the necessary measures are now pursuing for organizing and carrying the same into operation. And whereas at the time of the said election, the citizens of this state were opposed to certain articles of the said constitution. And whereas from the important change, which hath since the meeting of this convention taken place in the situation of public affairs, it is desirable that an opportunity should be given to the said delegates, to know fully the sentiments at present entertained by their constituents, on a subject so interesting to them, and which may so deeply affect the public peace and tranquility:
"Therefore, Resolved, That this convention do adjourn, until the — day of — next, then to meet at —."
This motion engaged the attention of the house all that day.
THURSDAY, July 17. Previous to taking the question on this motion, Mr. Hamilton made another display of those great abilities, for which he is justly distinguished; he was powerful in his reasoning, and so persuasively eloquent and patient, that he drew tears from most of the audience.
When he sat down the question was called for, and the division of the house was as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
The convention then went into a committee of the whole.
A proposition of Mr. Smith, that had been moved as an amendment to Mr. Jay's motion of the 11th inst. for adopting the constitution; and a motion of Mr. Hamilton as an amendment of Mr. Smith's, were then read, and are as follows:
Mr. SMITH's Motion.
THIS CONVENTION having deliberately and maturely examined and considered the proposed constitution, reported to congress by the convention of delegates from the United States of America, and submitted to their consideration by concurrent resolutions of the senate and assembly of the state of New-York, passed at their last session, DO, in the name and in the behalf of the PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK, declare,
That all freemen have essential rights, of which they cannot by any compact deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That all power is originally vested in and consequently derived from the people; and that government is instituted for their common benefit, protection and security.
That in all cases in which a man may be subjected to a capital or infamous punishment, no one ought to be put on his trial upon an indictment by a grand jury; and that, in all capital or criminal prosecutions, the accused hath a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, and witnesses; to produce testimony and have counsel in his defence, and to a fair, public and speedy trial by an impartial jury of the county in which the crime was committed, without whose unanimous consent he ought not to be found guilty (except in the government of the land and naval forces) nor ought he to be compelled to give evidence against himself.
That no freeman ought to be taken, imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, or be exiled or deprived of his privileges, franchises, life, liberty, or property, but by the law of the land.
That no person ought to be put in jeopardy of life or limb, or otherwise punished twice for one and the same offence, unless upon impeachment.
That every freeman, restrained in his liberty, is entitled to an enquiry into the lawfulness of such restraint, without denial or delay; and to a removal thereof if unlawful.
That in all controversies respecting property, and in all suits between man and man, the ancient trial of facts by jury is one of the greatest securities of the rights of a free people, and ought to remain sacred and inviolate forever.
That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel, or unusual punishments inflicted.
That every freeman has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his papers, and his property, without information upon oath or affirmation of sufficient cause; and that all general warrants to search suspected places, or to apprehend any suspected person, without specially describing or naming the place or person, are dangerous and oppressive, and ought not to be granted.
That the people have a right peaceably to assemble together to consult for their common good, or to instruct their representatives; and that every freeman has a right to petition or apply to the legislature for a redress of grievances.
That the freedom of the press ought not to be violated or restrained.
That the militia should always be kept well organized, armed, and disciplined, and include, according to past usages of the state, all the men capable of bearing arms, and ought not to be subject to martial law (except in time of war, invasion, or rebellion) and that in all cases the militia should be under strict subordination to the civil power.
That standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be kept up but in cases of absolute necessity.
That no soldier in time of peace ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; and in time of war, only by the civil magistrate, in such manner as the laws may direct.
That any person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms ought to be exempted therefrom, upon payment of an equivalent.
That the free and peaceable enjoyment of religious profession and worship is a natural and unalienable right, and ought never to be abridged or violated.
That nothing in the said constitution is to be construed to prevent the legislature of any state to pass laws from time to time to divide such state into as many convenient districts as the state shall be entitled to elect representatives for Congress; nor to prevent such legislature from making provision, that the electors in each district shall chuse a citizen of the United States, who shall have been an inhabitant of the district for the term of one year immediately preceding the time of election, for one of the representatives of such state.
That no power is to be exercised by Congress, but such as is expressly given by the said constitution, and all other powers not expressly given, are reserved to the respective states, to be by them exercised.
That the prohibition in the said constitution against passing ex post facto laws, extend only to laws concerning criminals.
That all appeals from any court, proceeding according to the course of the common law, are to be by writ of error and not otherwise.
That the judicial powers of the United States, as to controversies between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, is not to be construed to extend to any other controversies than those relating to such lands as shall be claimed by two or more persons under grants of different states.
That nothing in the said constitution contained, is to be construed to authorize any suit to be brought against any state in any manner whatsoever.
That the judicial powers of the United States, in cases in which a state shall be a party, is not to be construed to extend to criminal prosecutions.
That the judicial powers of the United States as to controversies between citizens of different states, is not to be construed to extend to any controversies relating to any real estate not claimed under grants of different states.
That nothing in the said constitution contained, is to be construed to authorize congress to grant monopolies, or to erect any company with exclusive advantages of commerce.
That no treaty is to be construed to operate so as to alter the constitution of any state; that the jurisdiction of the supreme court of the United States, or of any other court to be substituted by the congress, is not in any case to be increased, enlarged, or extended by any fiction, collusion, or mere suggestion.
That the clauses in the said constitution which declare that the congress shall not have or exercise certain powers, are not to be interpreted in any manner whatsoever, to extend the powers of the congress, but are to be construed either as exceptions to the specified powers, or as inserted for greater caution.
And with a firm reliance, and on the express condition, that the rights aforesaid, will not and shall not be abridged, or violated, and that the said constitution shall, in the cases above particularized, receive the construction herein before expressed, with a solemn appeal to the searcher of hearts for the purity of our intentions, and in the confidence that whatever imperfections may exist in the constitution, will as soon as possible, be submitted to the consideration of a general convention, WE, the said DELEGATES, in the name and in the behalf of the PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK, DO, by these presents, assent to and RATIFY the said constitution (any whereof precludes this ratification) upon condition nevertheless, that the amendments herein contained and herewith recommended, shall have been submitted to and determined upon by a general convention to be called in the mode prescribed by the said constitution, the militia of this state shall not be continued in service out of this state for a longer term than six weeks without the consent of the legislature thereof; that congress shall not be authorized to make or alter any regulation in this state respecting the time, places, or manner of holding elections for senators or representatives, unless the legislature of this state shall neglect or refuse to make laws or regulations for the purpose, or from any circumstances be incapable of making the same, and that in those cases such power shall only be exercised until the legislature of this state shall make provision in the premises; that no excise shall be imposed on any article of the growth or manufacture of the United States or any of them within this state; and that congress do not lay distinct taxes within this state but when the monies arising from the impost an excise shall be insufficient for the public exigencies, nor then until congress shall first have made requisition upon the state, to assess, levy and pay its proportion of such requisition agreeable to theitus fixed in the
said constitution, in such way and manner as the legislature of this state shall judge best, but that in such case, if the state shall neglect or refuse to pay its proportion pursuant to such requisitions, then the congress may assess and levy this state's proportion, together with interest, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, from the time at which the same was required to be paid.
DONE in CONVENTION the — day of —, in the year —.
Mr. HAMILTON's Motion—same day.
WE, the DELEGATES of the PEOPLE of the STATE of NEW-YORK, in convention assembled, having maturely considered the constitution for the United States, agreed to on the 17th day of September, in the year 1787, at Philadelphia, in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by the convention then and there convened; and having also seriously and deliberately considered the present situation of the United States, and being convinced that it is advisable to adopt the said constitution, DO declare and make known, in the name and behalf of the people aforesaid, that the powers granted in and by the said constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, may be resumed by them whenever they shall judge it necessary to their happiness; that every power, not granted thereby, remains either to them or their respective state governments, to whom they may have delegated the same: that therefore, no right of any kind, either of the people of the respective states, or of the said governments, can be cancelled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by congress or by any officer or department of the United States, except in conformity to the powers given by the said constitution: that among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience, and of the press, cannot be cancelled or abridged by any authority of the United States. With these impressions, with a firm reliance on the blessing of providence upon a government framed under circumstances which afford a new and instructive example of wisdom and moderation to mankind, with an intire conviction, that it will be more prudent to rely, for what ever amendments may be desirable in the said constitution, on the mode therein prescribed, than either to embarrass the union, or to hazard dissensions in any part of the community, by pursuing a different course; and with a full confidence that the amendments which shall have been proposed will receive an early and mature consideration, and that such of them as may in any degree tend to the real security and permanent advantage of the people will be accepted, WE, the said DELEGATES, in the name and behalf of the PEOPLE OF THIS STATE, DO, by these presents, assent to, and RATIFY the constitution aforesaid; hereby announcing to all those whom it may concern, that the said constitution is binding upon the said people according to an authentic copy thereunto annexed, in the words following. [Here insert the Constitution.]
Done in Convention at Poughkeepsie, in the State of New-York, this — day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1788.
By order of the Convention.
And to the end that the sense of the people of this state may be manifested touching certain parts of the said Constitution, concerning which doubts have been raised, WE, the delegates aforesaid, in the name and behalf of the people aforesaid, do by these presents further declare and make known, that according to the true intent and meaning of the said Constitution, Congress ought not to interpose in the regulation of the times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, except only in such cases in which the legislatures of the respective states or any of them may neglect, refuse or be unable to make provision, or for the purpose of appointing an uniform time for the election of representatives; and that the legislature of any state may at its discretion lay out such state into convenient districts for the election of representatives, and may apportion its representatives to and among such districts; And also, that except as to duties on imports and exports or the Post Office, and duties of tonnage, the United States, and the states respectively, have concurrent and co-equal authority to lay and collect all taxes whatever; and therefore that neither of them can in any wise contravene, control, or annul the operation or execution of any law of the other for the imposition or collection of any tax, except as aforesaid:—And also that there shall be once in every four years an election of the president and vice-president, so that officer who may be appointed by Congress to act as president in case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of the president and vice-president, can in any case continue to act beyond the termination of the period for which the last president and vice president were elected: And also that the judicial power of the United States, in cases where a state may be a party, does not extend to criminal prosecutions or to any suit by private persons against a state: and that the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court cannot authorize a second trial of the fact in any criminal case whatever, or a second trial of any fact determinable in the course of the common law by jury, and which shall have been so determined in the original cause: and lastly, that the process of presentment and indictment by a grand jury ought to be observed in every prosecution for any crime, as a necessary preliminary to the trial thereof:
And in order that the foregoing declarations and constitutions may be recognized and inviolably observed in the administration of the government of the United States, this Convention, in the name and behalf of the people aforesaid, do hereby enjoin it upon the senators and representatives of this state in the Congress, to procure as soon as may be, after the meeting of Congress, a declaratory act in conformity to these presents.
Done in convention at Poughkeepsie, in the state of New-York, on the day, and in the year last aforesaid.

XI. That when the number of persons in the district of territory to be laid out for the seat of the government of the U.

XII. That the representatives, senators, president, vice-president, and judges of the United States shall each take an oath or affirmation not to infringe or violate the constitutions of the respective states.
XIII. That no capitation tax shall ever be laid by Congress.
The Hon. Mr. Duane then moved, That the consideration of Mr. Smith's propositions should be postponed, in order to take up Mr. Hamilton's. On this motion the division was called.
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
The committee then took up the proposition of Mr. Smith, as the principle on which they would proceed; after some time had elapsed, in which nothing particular was urged, Mr. Smith got up, and with much candor confessed that the arguments that had been offered against his proposition, were not only weighty, but such as had induced him to relinquish it; and that he wished to withdraw that, in order to make the following. He begged that he might be excused for many interjections that were in it, as it had been drawn up in great haste, and hoped that he might have an opportunity of amending it. It was such a proposition, he said, as he thought would remove the objections of the federal party, while at the same time it would afford to the opposition, all that security for the consideration of the amendments which they wished.
Mr. Lansing said, if Mr. Smith withdrew his other proposition, he should again move it; and of course both propositions remained before the convention.
The motion is as follows:
We, the delegates of the people of the state of New-York, duly elected in — to —

rent resolutions of the senate and assembly of the said state, passed the _____ day of _____, and now met in convention, having fully and fairly discussed the constitution proposed to our consideration, agreed upon by the federal convention held in Philadelphia on the _____ day of _____, do make known and declare:
That after the most mature deliberation they have been able to give the subject, a majority of them cannot approve the whole of the said constitution, without amendments or alterations for the following among other reasons:
1d. Because the most important powers granted by this constitution, are expressed in terms so general, indefinite and ambiguous, as to leave the rulers in the exercise of them, to act too much at discretion.
2d. The limits of the powers of the general and state governments are not marked out with sufficient precision; nor those of the former so defined as entirely to prevent a clash of jurisdiction; and there is reason to fear that the state government may be impaired by the general government in the exercise of powers granted in such general words and by implication only;—especially
3d. Because the constitution gives to the Congress an indefinite and unlimited power over all the sources of revenue in the union; by which means there is reason to fear that the individual states will be left without adequate means of discharging debts, or maintaining their civil establishments.
4th. Because the number of representatives are not sufficiently numerous at present to possess a competent knowledge of, and attachment to the interests of their constituents, or to afford a reasonable degree of confidence; and no certain ratio of increase is fixed, but left at the discretion of Congress.
5th. Because the power of regulating the times, places and manner of holding elections, though in the first instance given to the respective state legislatures, is yet ultimately placed under the control of Congress, by which means they will have it too much in their power to secure their own continuance.
6th. Because an improper mixture of legislative, executive and judicial powers are lodged in the senate. It is a maxim in a free government, that the legislative, executive and judicial departments should be kept separate; though this cannot be effected in all its extent, yet it may be much nearer attained than is done in this system; for the senate not only forms a branch in the legislature, but are also associated with the president in the exercise of the most important executive powers; and form the highest judicial court in the nation for the trial of impeachments.
7th. The judicial powers in this constitution, are given in two general and indefinite terms; are to various and extensive, that they may easily be made by legal fiction to extend too far and absorb some of the judicial powers of the respective states. No explicit security is given for trial by jury in common law cases, and the ancient and usual mode of trial in criminal matters is not secured. The appellate jurisdiction both as to law and fact, may deprive the citizen of safety from juries and render the obtaining justice difficult, dilatory and expensive.
For these and various other reasons, the convention would be induced not to accede to this constitution, did not other weighty considerations interpose; but the strong attachments they feel to their sister states, and their regard to the common good of the union, impel them to preserve it.
The convention have the firmest confidence in the common councils of the people of the United States, and the highest expectations that all the necessary amendments will be produced from their further deliberations; they therefore consent with the utmost cheerfulness to abide by the result of such deliberations; but as some time will be necessary to effect this, the convention will forbear to dissent from their brethren of the other states; they have therefore agreed to assent and to ratify the said constitution, in the firmest confidence that an opportunity will be speedily given to revise and amend the said constitution, in the mode pointed out in the fifth article thereof; expressly reserving nevertheless to this state a right to recede and withdraw from the said constitution, in case such opportunity be not given within _____ years.
And this convention do recommend to the Congress, that the power to lay and collect taxes and excise, to call out the militia, &c. &c. &c. be not exercised or made to operate on this state in any other manner than is proposed in the amendments recommended by this convention, until the sense of the people of the United States be taken on the propriety of the amendments to the constitution, in one or the other of the modes pointed out in it.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the legislature of this state, to request the Congress to call a convention to consider of and propose amendments to this constitution at their first session; and that the amendments agreed to by this convention be transmitted to such convention; when met, to be laid before them.
Resolved, That a circular letter be addressed to all the states in the union, including the foregoing, and earnestly inviting them to join with this convention in requesting the Congress at their first meeting, to call a convention of the states, to consider of the amendments proposed by all the states.
FRIDAY, July 18. The convention met, and silence pervaded the house; it being evident that they were not prepared for a decision, after sitting about an hour, they adjourned until the next day.
SATURDAY, July 19. The amendments to be recommended were read, and the convention agreed to discuss them by paragraphs. The propriety of some of them being doubted; caused some debate, and others passed unanimously. A committee, two on each side, consisting of Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Yates on one, and Mr. Duane and Mr. Harrison on the other, for the purpose of arranging the amendments agreed to, was appointed.
SUNDAY, July 21. Much debate took place on some of the amendments. Adjourned till ten next morning.
In what mode the constitution will be adopted is yet uncertain. We may venture to say however, from the anxiety of some of the members to go to their families, and to gather their har-
vests, they will determine the question in a very few days.
We hope each party will be ready to receive whatever may be the result, with great calmness.
New-York, July 24.
YESTERDAY THE GRAND PROCESSION "in honor of the Constitution of the United States," paraded to and fro, and walked up and down, in this city, to the novel entertainment of all classes of people. The procession made a very pompous appearance, and was conducted in a regular and decent manner. It paraded at eight o'clock, A. M. in the fields; at ten a salute of 13 guns was fired from the procession ship, when it began to move down Broadway, and proceeded through Great-Dock street, Hanover square, Queen, Chatham, Arundel and Bullock streets, to the parade des feres champetres, where two bullocks and a mutton had been roasted whole, for their regale, together with hams, &c. &c. These were served upon ten extensive tables, which were prepared for the purpose, and which projected, in direct angles, from one common centre, where was situated, a little elevated, the seat of Congress and civil and legislative magistrates, strangers of distinction, &c. who had a complete view of the ten feasts; the seats were all canopyed with canvass, which, in some measure, screened the guests from the rain, which unluckily fell at different periods of the day.
We do not attempt to give an ample account of the proceedings of this day, which, it is not doubted, will be presented the public by the gentlemen who composed the committee of arrangements; if so, and nothing of greater moment intervenes to fill the New-York Journal, before next Thursday, it (or a part, as the quantity may be) shall be published in that paper.
What added greatly to the beauty of this parade, was the ship Hamilton, the emblematical flags, and the flags. The ship made a fine appearance, sailing with flowing sheets, and full sails, down Broadway, the convays waves dashing against her sides; the wheels of the carriage concealed. Some of the flags were well executed, and others (it is supposed through haste) as badly; and the designs were generally ingenious. The flags were of various sizes, and mostly very slight, inasmuch that the poor Potters were separated from their clay, and no longer had power over it; the stage fell! and, alas! the clay became exposed to the power of every passer-by.
It was really laughable to see the variety of phizzes on this occasion. The poor antis generally minded their own business at home; others, who were spectators at an unful distance, looked as four as the Devil. As for the feds, they rejoiced in different degrees—there was the ha, ha, ha! and the he, he, he!
When the procession passed Great-Dock street it was saluted by his most Catholic Majesty's packet; this compliment the ship in procession attempted to return, but unfortunately, on firing 5 guns, the gunner was seized by a fit, which obliged the commander to apologize to the commander of the packet: it is said, that this apology was politely received.
As it redounds much to the credit of the citizens, as well as honor of the conductors of the day, it ought to be remarked, that there was not the least outrage, or even indecency offered to any individual; notwithstanding 6 or 7000 people (as supposed, spectators included) had collected—and that the whole company was dismissed at half after five o'clock.
In the evening a very ingenious transparent piece of painting, representing general WASHINGTON, to the life, was exhibited by Mr. Wright, in Maiden-Lane, which attracted the attention and admiration of many citizens, particularly the fair.
There was also exhibited, at the corner of Wall-street, enclosed in a circle of about two feet in diameter, thirteen stars, ten of which were brilliant; one (designed for New-York) half illuminated; and two almost obscure, with the initials of North-Carolina and Rhode-Island.
We are informed, that the honorable the Congress and gentlemen of the clergy, declined walking at the procession, on account of this not being a ratifying state: they however accepted a seat at the table.
RECENT ANECDOTE.
A gentleman, who was present at the fall of the federal ship, when she was launched, in which fall she bilged , and the right arm of Col. Hamilton (the head of the ship) holding the constitution, broken off, exclaimed, with some humour, "gentlemen, there is certainly room for amendments."
The week past has not afforded news of extraordinary moment from any quarter; and, as for localities—the grand procession, the new constitution, and the convention at Poughkeepsie, have engrossed the conversation and time of the citizens.
The proceedings of the honorable the convention we have continued as regularly as could be ascertained; other particulars will be given as soon as possible; and the final result, which every one is anxious to know, immediately on its taking place.
The latter paragraphs of the accounts from Poughkeepsie, in this paper, were received by last evening's mail, and are the latest accounts in town.
Yesterday arrived the ship HAMILTON, Com. Nicholson, from BUNKER-HILL and brig Sally, McKinney, from Halifax. Bradford's Marine-List.
On the 16th instant, the annual commencement was solemnified at the university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when 28 young
gentlemen were honored with a degree of Bachelor of Arts; and 18 gentlemen with that of Master of Arts.
The following ODE, on the ADOPTION of the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, composed by Dr. S—, and set to Music—Tune, the DAUPHIN, was distributed from the printer's stage yesterday, while moving in procession.
CROWN'D with auspicious Light, Columbia's Eagle rises; Thine Emblems bless our fight, Thine Honors greet our Eyes! Nations admire thy rising Dawn, and shall salute thy Day, While Generations yet unborn, receive the genial Ray.
Chorus. An Empire's born!—Let Cannon roar! Bid echo round the sky: Let every heart adore, High Heav'n, our great ally! Illustrious era, hail! Thy stars in union grow; Opposing mists dispel, And with fresh splendor glow. Thy glories burst upon the gloom where darkness drag'd her chains; The fons of cruelty and death, shall own thy gentle reign.
Chorus. An empire's born, &c.
Let joy our hearts engage; Let soul contention cease; Exchange, for jealous rage, Th' enrapturing smile of peace. No genius human e'er devis'd; a Federal Plan more pure; Wisdom and strength and freedom guard, Columbia's rights secure.
Chorus. An empire's born, &c.
Now fame exert your pow'rs, Your silver trumpet raise; Still Washington is ours, Thro' earth proclaim his praise: He once in crimson fields of blood, forbid us to be slaves; And now with an illustrious band again his country saves.
Chorus. An empire's born, &c.
Discord agash! shall frown: Science her temple rear! Labour ensue her crown; And useful arts appear. Then bend your spears to pruning hooks; break up the gen'rous soil, While fruits of plenty round the land, reward the reaper's toil.
Chorus. An Empire's born, &c.
Commerce your fail display; While Agriculture sings; Where late the Bramble lay, The Rose of beauty springs. Union shall glad revolving years; no partial views remain; Justice aloft advance her scale, and public-virtue reign!
Chorus. An Empire's born, &c.
Line of Eastern Stages.
THE Public are most respectfully informed, That, after great expense and fatigue, the subscriber, and company, have completed the line of STAGES from this city quite through to Boston. The carriages, which were before heavy and unsealy, are now all hung, upon coach-springs, and do not fatigue more than a common coach. The carriage from hence to Fairfield, in particular, is a new, well contriv'd, easy one, which will render the journey pleasurable, instead of a toil as heretofore.
Having thus completed the line, the subscriber will commence on Monday next, the 21st instant, to run the Stages from NEW-YORK to BOSTON, THREE TIMES A WEEK, and continue it until Nov. 1; from which to May 1 twice a week.
The extraordinary cost which he has been at in completing this great work, which he doubts not will be of no small public utility, as well as private advantage and convenience, he hopes will induce many to patronize him. Any business of consequence that may be wished to be transacted between these two capitals, shall be faithfully executed.
The Stages will start from the General Stage Office, in Corlandt Street, on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday, of every week, at four o'clock, A. M. and will arrive at said place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, at eight o'clock, P. M. The days and hours of starting and arriving at Hartford and Boston, are the same as at New-York.
The FARE is three-pence lawful money, or four-pence New-York currency, per mile; fourteen pounds of baggage is allowed gratis; one hundred and fifty pounds of baggage pays the same as a passenger, and in that proportion. The Public's humble servant,

POET'S CORNER.
The blessings of CORN and WINE.  WITH sheaves of full ears, and the juice of the wine, We extinguish the flame of our care, While grateful our souls in sweet union keep time, Nor e'er harbour a thought of despair. Then morn, noon and night hail the blessings of Corn, Still the blessings of Wine too we hail: One supports nature's call, our fields doth adorn: And but for Wine, our spirits would fail. The sailor he fears not the roar of the seas, But with courage all dangers surmounts: O'er his biscuit and can he reposes at ease, And with pleasure each action recounts. The soldier is happy in dreadfull campaign: If blast with the bounties of Heaven: His bread is a jewel, with glass of champagne: What e'er'd greater to mortals be given! The peasant e'er joy'd sees his fields teem with corn, On the hills he beholds the rich vine: With gratitude fervent, he rises each morn, All creation his praises rejoins: By the sweat of his brow he diligent gains The bread which for nourishment's sent: The fruit of the vintage renews all his pains, While at ev'ning his heart feels content. Then may all mankind eat the bread of ripe corn, May they temp'rately drink of the wine: Let all the whole race, from the child that's new born To old age praise the hand that's divine. May all, sweet content, catch a branch of thy tree, While soft peace in our dwellings is found: So shall we, all happy and joyous, live free, And our souls diffuse pleasure around.
PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, according to an act of the Governor, Council, and General Assembly of the late colony of New-York, passed the nineteenth day of March, 1774, entitled, "An act for the more effectual registering of mortgages and securing the purchaser of mortgaged estates," that on the twenty-eighth day of July next ensuing, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, will be sold at the Coffee-House, to the highest bidder, all that certain LOT OF GROUND, situate, lying, and being in the city of New-York, in the Dock-Ward of the same, with incumbrance of a mortgage in the Loan-Office, for two hundred and eighty pounds, or thereabouts, and contains in breadth, in front and rear, twenty-five feet four and an half inches, in length, on each side, about ninety-one feet, and is bounded southerly, in front by the dock, westerly, by ground of Mary Ten Eyck, northerly, in the rear by ground now or late the property of John Lamborn, and easterly, by ground of the heirs of Peter Delancey, with the appurtenances, which said premises were, by indenture, bearing date the fifteenth day of January, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven—mortgaged by Charles Duryee, of the county of New-York, to Thomas Bowne, Daniel Bowne, and Samuel Osgood, of New-York, for securing the payment of five hundred and thirty-five pounds eighteen shillings and seven-pence, with lawful interest for the same.

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.

Philadelphia, June 2, 1788.  To the PUBLIC. AS the time limited for compleating the execution of my scheme for the selling some of my houses and landed interest terminates the 25th of July next, I take the liberty to request those gentlemen who have honored, and aided me in the disposal of my tickets, to forward the unengaged tickets, by the fastest means possible, so that they may reach me on or before the period above alluded to: to which end, circular letters will be forwarded to each by the first opportunity. I here return my most sincere acknowledgement for the countenance given my plan, from gentlemen in most parts of the continent. And though arduous and difficult as the undertaking appeared in its commencement, it gives me the most pleasing satisfaction to add, that it now promises to gratify my most earnest expectations. 20 3W THOMAS PROCTOR.
