New-York, Nov. 19.
Extract of a letter from the Western country, dated October 10, 1787.
Our vicinity to the friendly Cherokees and the correspondence we have contrived to establish through the Indian country, even as far as the Choctaws, has been of great use to us particularly, and to other Western settlements.
You, I understand, have been fully informed of the cause, and event of Colonel Robinson's expedition to the Muscle Shoals, in the beginning of the last summer. This, and what happened in Georgia about the same time, now serves as a pretext, to M c Gillivray, to commence open hostilities. I say a pretext, because it can be proven by sufficient evidence, that the Creek Indians under his express orders, have for above two years past been annoying our settlements, by small parties, generally killing but few, but carrying off horses in great numbers, these were sold to his traders, at the Muscle Shoals, and in the Creek country. — Col. Robinson's success, and the death of a Chief, was a sufficient handle to rouse the whole tribe to revenge. One party was suddenly detached to the Chickasaws to murder Mr. Turnbull, Davenport, and their friends — the former had the good fortune to obtain notice, and made his escape, with some others; but Davenport and his party being employed in beginning a settlement on the Mississippi, were overtaken and fell victims to savage fury. — About the same time a formidable body, of between 6 and 700, mostly Indians, set out in great parade, with drums, colors, music, and a number of horsemen equipped after the European manner. They were to have proceeded to the Cumberland settlements, and destroy man, woman and child, without mercy; but happily, at the Tennessee they were overtaken by an express from the Creek Chief, informing that a large army from Georgia was in full march towards their towns, and advising them to return home and defend their wives and children. All but about one hundred instantly tacked about and ran homeward; the others proceeded until near the Cumberland settlement, but the people being a few days before alarmed by our very friendly brothers the Chickasaws, a detachment turning out from the garrison at Nashville, intimidated these blood-hounds, and they retreated out of the country with precipitation.
Our affairs of late become more serious; the enemy with a considerable force has penetrated into Georgia; several skirmishes have taken place, and an action of some hours was fought by General Clark; he beat the Indians off the field of battle, with an inconsiderable loss on our part.
A few days ago a friendly Cherokee, from Chickamogga, brought us word, that 500 Creeks were encamped at the mouth of Hiwassee, and that it was uncertain whether their destination was to Cumberland, Kentucky, or up Holstein and Clinch; our militia are assembling as fast as they can, to go and meet them; and I hope to see such a force assembled in a few days as may enable us with confidence to look the enemy in the face.
Bon Mot. At a tea drinking held lately in —, in the course of conversation, Miss — took occasion to observe, that her dear friend Miss —, was about to enter into the hymeneal bands with a gentleman near seventy-two years of age — seventy-two! ejaculated the assembly, with manifest tokens of surprise — she had better, observed the amiable —, have had two thirty-fives.

And the honorable appearer acknowledged himself in his aforesaid quality, and

That this bond or obligation shall never be subject to any imposts or taxes already laid, or in time to come to be laid, in the said United States of America, or any of them, even in case (which God forbid) any war, hostilities or divisions, should arise between aforesaid United States, or any of them on the one side, and the States of these Lands on the other, and, that the payment of the principal or interests of this bond or obligation, accordingly, can, in no wise, nor under any pretext whatsoever, be hindered or delayed.
The honorable appearer, in his aforesaid quality, promising and engaging, moreover, for, and in the names of the said United States, that there shall never be made, or entered into by them, or on their parts, or any of them in particular, any convention or treaty, public or private, at the making of peace, or otherwise, by which the validity and accomplishment of these presents might be prejudiced, or, whereby any thing contrary thereto might be stipulated, but, that without any exception the contents hereof shall be kept and maintained in full force.

The FEDERALIST. No. VII.
To the People of the State of New-York.
IT is sometimes asked, with an air of seeming triumph, what inducements could the States have, if disunited, to make
war upon each other? It would be a full answer to this question to say — precisely the same inducements, which have, at different times, deluged in blood all the nations in the world. But, unfortunately for us, the question admits of a more particular answer. There are causes of difference within our immediate contemplation, of the tendency of which, even under the restraints of a Federal Constitution, we have had sufficient experience, to enable us to form a judgment of what might be expected, if those restraints were removed.
Territorial disputes have at all times been found one of the most fertile sources of hostility among nations. Perhaps the greatest proportion of the wars that have desolated the earth have sprung from this origin. This cause would exist among us in full force. We have a vast tract of unsettled territory within the boundaries of the United States. There still are discordant and undecided claims between several of them; and the dissolution of the Union would lay a foundation for similar claims between them all. It is well known, that they have heretofore had serious and animated discussions concerning the right to the lands which were ungranted at the time of the Revolution, and which usually went under the name of Crown Lands. The States, within the limits of whose Colonial Governments they were comprised, have claimed them as their property; the others have contended, that the rights of the Crown in this article devolved upon the Union; especially as to all that part of the Western territory, which, either by actual possession, or through the submission of the Indian proprietors, was subjected to the jurisdiction of the King of Great-Britain, till it was relinquished in the treaty of peace. This, it has been said, was at all events, an acquisition to the Confederacy, by compact with a foreign power. It has been the prudent policy of Congress to appease this controversy, by prevailing upon the States to make cessions to the United States, for the benefit of the whole. This has been so far accomplished, as, under a continuation of the Union, to afford a decided prospect of an amicable termination of the dispute. A dismemberment of the Confederacy, however, would revive this dispute, and would create others on the same subject. At present a large part of the vacant Western territory is, by cession at least, if not by any anterior right, the common property of the Union. If that were at an end, the States which made the cession on a principle of Federal compromise, would be apt, when the motive of the grant had ceased, to reclaim the lands as a reversion. The other States would, no doubt, insist on a proportion, by right of representation. Their argument would be, that a grant, once made, could not be revoked; and that the justice of their participating in territory, acquired or secured by the joint efforts of the Confederacy, remained undiminished. If, contrary to all probability, it should be admitted by all the States, that each had a right to a share of this common stock, there would still be a difficulty to be surmounted, as to a proper rule of apportionment. Different principles would be set up by different States for this purpose; and as they would affect the opposite interests of the parties, they might not easily be susceptible of a pacific adjustment.
In the wide field of Western territory, therefore, we perceive an ample theatre for hostile pretensions, without any umpire or common judge to interpose between the contending parties. To reason from the past to the future, we shall have good ground to apprehend, that the sword would sometimes be appealed to, as the arbiter of their differences. The circumstances of the dispute between Connecticut and Pennsylvania, respecting the land at Wyoming, admonish us not to be sanguine in expecting an easy accommodation of such differences. The Articles of Confederation obliged the parties to submit the matter to the decision of a Federal Court. The submission was made, and the Court decided in favor of Pennsylvania — But Connecticut gave strong indications of dissatisfaction with that determination; nor did she appear to be entirely resigned to it, till, by negotiation and management, something like an equivalent was found for the loss she supposed herself to have sustained. Nothing here said is intended to convey the slightest censure on the conduct of that State. She, no doubt, sincerely believed herself to have been injured by the decision; and States, like individuals, acquiesce with great reluctance in determinations to their disadvantage.
Those, who had an opportunity of seeing the inside of the transactions, which attended the progress of the controversy between this State and the district of Vermont, can vouch the opposition we experienced, as well from States not interested as from those which were interested in the claim; and can attest the danger, to which the peace of the Confederacy might have been exposed, had this State attempted to assert its rights by force. Two motives preponderated in that opposition — one a jealousy entertained of our future power — and the other, the interest of certain individuals of in-
fluence in the neighbouring States, who had obtained grants of lands under the actual government of that district. Even the States which brought forward claims, in contradiction to ours, seemed more felicitous to dismember this State than to establish their own pretensions. These were New-Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. New-Jersey and Rhode-Island upon all occasions discovered a warm zeal for the independence of Vermont and Maryland, till alarmed by the appearance of a connection between Canada and that place, entered deeply into the same views. These being small States, saw with an unfriendly eye the perspective of our growing greatness. In a review of these transactions we may trace some of the causes, which would be likely to embroil the States with each other, if it should be their unpropitious destiny to become disunited.
The competition of commerce would be another fruitful source of contention. The States less favorably circumstanced would be desirous of escaping from the disadvantages of local situation, and of sharing in the advantages of their more fortunate neighbours. Each State, or separate Confederacy, would pursue a system of commercial policy peculiar to itself. This would occasion distinctions, preferences and exclusions, which would beget discontent. The habits of intercourse, on the basis of equal privileges, to which we have been accustomed from the earliest settlement of the country, would give a keener edge to those causes of discontent, than they would naturally have, independent of this circumstance. We should be ready to denounce injuries those things, which were in reality the justifiable acts of independent Sovereigns consulting a distinct interest. The spirit of enterprise, which characterises the commercial part of America, has left no occasion of displaying itself unimproved. It is not at all probable that this unbridled spirit would pay much respect to those regulations of trade, by which particular States might endeavor to secure exclusive benefits to their own citizens. The infractions of these regulations on one side, the efforts to prevent and repeal them on the other, would naturally lead to outrages, and these to reprisals and wars.
The opportunities, which some States would have of rendering others tributary to them, by commercial regulations, would be impatiently submitted to by the tributary States. The relative situation of New-York, Connecticut and New-Jersey, would afford an example of this kind. New-York, from the necessities of revenue, must lay duties on her importations. A great part of these duties, must be paid by the inhabitants of the two other States, in the capacity of consumers of what we import. New-York would neither be willing nor able to forego this advantage. Her citizens would not consent that a duty paid by them should be remitted in favor of the citizens of her neighbors; nor would it be practicable, if there were not this impediment in the way, to distinguish the customers in our own markets. Would Connecticut and New-Jersey long submit to be taxed by New-York for her exclusive benefit? Should we be long permitted to remain in the quiet and undisturbed enjoyment of a metropolis, from the possession of which we derived an advantage so odious to our neighbours, and, in their opinion, so oppressive? Should we be able to preserve it against the incumbent weight of Connecticut on the one side, and the co-operating pressure of New-Jersey on the other? These are the questions that temerity alone, will answer in the affirmative.
The public debt of the Union would be a further cause of collision between the separate confederacies. The appointment, in the first instance, and the progressive extinguishment, afterwards, would be alike productive of ill humor and animosity. How would it be possible to agree upon a rule of appointment satisfactory to all? There is scarcely any, that can be proposed, which is entirely free from real objections. These, as usual, would be exaggerated by the adverse interests of the parties. There are even dissimilar views among the States, as to the general principle of discharging the public debt. Some of them, either less impressed with the importance of national credit, or because their citizens have little, if any, immediate interest in the question, feel an indifference, if not a repugnance to the payment of the domestic debt, at any rate. These would be inclined to magnify the difficulties of a distribution. Others of them, a numerous body of whose citizens are creditors to the public, beyond the proportion of the State in the total amount of the national debt, would be strenuous for some equitable and effectual provision. The procrastinations of the former would excite the resentments of the latter. The settlement of a rule would in the mean time be postponed, by real differences of opinion and affected delays. The citizens of the States interested, would clamor, foreign powers would urge, for the satisfaction of their just demands; and

the peace of the States would be hazarded to the double contingency of external invasion and internal contention.
Suppose the difficulties of agreeing upon a rule surmounted, and the appointment made. Still there is great room to suppose, that the rule agreed upon would, upon experiment, be found to bear harder upon some States than upon others. Those which were sufferers by it would naturally seek for a mitigation of the burthen. The others would as naturally be inclined to a revision, which was likely to end in an increase of their own incumbrances. Their refusal would be too plausible a pretext to the complaining States to withhold their contributions, not to be embraced with avidity; and the non-compliance of these States with their engagements would be a ground of bitter dissention and altercation. If even the rule adopted should in practice justify the equality of its principle, still delinquencies in payment, on the part of some of the States, would result from a diversity of other causes - the real deficiency of resources - the mismanagement of their finances, accidental disorders in the administration of the government - and in addition to the rest the reluctance with which men commonly part with money, for purposes that have outlived the exigencies which produced them, and interfere with the supply of immediate wants. Delinquencies from whatever causes would be productive of complaints, recriminations and quarrels. There is perhaps nothing more likely to disturb the tranquillity of nations, than their being bound to mutual contributions for any common object, which does not yield an equal and coincident benefit. For it is an observation as true, as it is trite, that there is nothing men differ so readily about as the payment of money.
Laws in violation of private contracts as they amount to aggressions on the rights of those States, whose citizens are injured by them, may be considered as another probable source of hostility. We are not authorized to expect, that a more liberal or more equitable spirit would preside over the Legislatures of the individual States hereafter, if unrestrained by any additional checks, than we have heretofore seen, in too many instances, disgracing their several codes. We have observed the disposition to retaliation excited in Connecticut, in consequence of the enormities perpetrated by the Legislature of Rhode-Island; and we may reasonably infer, that in similar cases, under other circumstances, a war not of parchment but of the sword would chastise such atrocious breaches of moral obligation and social justice.
The probability of incompatible alliances between the different States, or Confederacies, and different foreign nations, and the effects of this situation upon the peace of the whole, have been sufficiently unfolded in some preceding papers. From the view they have exhibited, of this part of the subject, this conclusion is to be drawn, that America, if not connected at all, or only by the feeble tie of a simple league offensive and defensive, would by the operation of such opposite and jarring alliances be gradually entangled in all the pernicious labyrinths of European politics and wars; and by the destructive contentions of the parts, into which she was divided, would be likely to become a prey to the artifices and machinations of powers equally the enemies of them all. Divide et impera must be the motto of every nation, that either hates, or fears us. PUBLIUS.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS. THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind. It is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the far end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun off short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to fail-cloth in Holland. N. B. If it should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.

NATHANIEL SMITH, Perfumer, from London, At the New-York Hair-Powder and Perfume Manu- factory, the Rose, No. 187, Queen-street. RETURNS his sincere thanks to his numerous cus- tomers who have so liberally encouraged him, and he assures them he is determined to persevere in selling every article as usual in the Perfumery line of the first quality, and on as low terms as it is possible to afford them. SMITH begs leave to recommend to Ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin, it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, be- ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its im- mense, for cleaning and clearing the skin from hard pimples, tans, rendering it quite soft, deli- cate and fair; half a dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies can not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not to be trusted of. LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's supe- fine English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash- Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Con- cave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bag and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repairs the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixt with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shutts: the diffe- rence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings.
The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye-pans, skil- lets, griddles, porritch kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boiler for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath Stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caudles of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill-rolls and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlshells, cast iron screws for tilling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and eleven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to furnish their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w

HOGS' BRISTLES.

Country Store-keepers would be the most proper per- sons to collect them. Those who will please to undertake the collecting them, will meet with a ready sale, and be the means of promoting a very useful branch of business, which may be carried on in this state, and put a stop to the importing that commodity.
