We are informed that six Negro men, the property of James Spalding, Esq. of the island of St. Simon, ran away lately to St. Augustine. Mr. Spalding followed them, and requested the Spanish Governor to permit him to take his Negroes; he was, however, refused, the Governor alleging that he had orders from his Court to the contrary. While Mr. Spalding was at St. Augustine three runaway negroes from South Carolina went in and received "PROTECTION," as it is called, among the Spaniards. The frequent repetition of this unjust and ungenerous conduct will not much longer be the subject of remonstrance only.
BOSTON, June 11. Yesterday a bill passed the Hon. House of Representatives for lowering the wages of the Members of the Hon. Council to 6s. per diem—and of the Hon. Senate to 5s. per diem—and of the Hon. House of Representatives to 3s. per diem. By this unequivocal instance of patriotism in our political fathers—and from the expected shortness of the session, owing to the happy union of sentiment that pervades that Hon. Body, a saving will be made to the Commonwealth, in this session, of between 4 and 5000 dollars.
To show an advantage resulting to the public from the union of sentiment prevalent in the Hon. Legislature, mentioned above, we can say, that that Hon. Body completed the appointment of Naval and Excise Officers, Notaries Public, &c. in about two days; which elections the last year, owing to the dissimilarity of opinion in the legislature, consumed eight or ten days, and was not completed during the year. And to the honor of the present Legislature, it can be said, that they have uniformly continued in office the persons who were elected last year—except where by death or removal, their re-election was impossible or ineligible.
On Monday morning, the felicity of the citizens of this metropolis, on an event so pleasing to every federalist, as the accession of the respectable State of South Carolina to the Union, was expressed by the ringing of all the bells in the churches; and in those mutual congratulations which distinguish men who know the importance and necessity of a federal union.
PORTSMOUTH, June 7. We have lately been informed of a man, who, strange to relate, sings tenor and counter, at one and the same time; on one side of his mouth he sings tenor, and on the other side he sings counter. This remarkable circumstance reminds us of a story we have heard related, of the peculiar way which some of the citizens of N—Y—k, have in eating Shad. It is well known that this fish is very bony; to rid themselves of this inconvenience, they put a piece of the shad into one side of their mouths which after having performed the revolution of the mouth, the bones are entirely separated, and thrown out at the other side, where the hand is ready to receive them; and this is done with a quickness hardly to be conceived. Thus while one side of the mouth is receiving shad, the other side is constantly discharging the bones, the throat swallowing what remains, and the hands going up and down in constant succession.
EXECUTION OF ELISHA THOMAS. On Tuesday last, sentence of death was executed on Elisha Thomas, for the murder of Capt. PETER DROWNE. The very peculiar circumstance of this unhappy man's fate, induced a vast concourse of spectators to attend his execution—report says, 6,000. He appeared to be much affected with his situation, and employed the few moments then allotted him, in pious exercises, but did not address the spectators. Indeed, the melancholy catastrophe which his rash conduct had occasioned, operated so powerfully upon his senses, that it was with difficulty he supported himself till the fatal moment, which was to cut the thread of his existence, had arrived. The Sheriff, with a humanity which did him much honor, treated the criminal with the greatest tenderness; nor did he hurry him out of the world, but let him live 'till the last moment, which having arrived, after shaking hands with the Sheriff, he was launched into eternity! May his fate be a solemn warning to all, especially to those who suffer their passions to rage uncontrolled—for in a moment when they are not aware, they may fall into the snare—therefore, Let him that thinks he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
NEW-YORK, June 19. Extracts from the Journal of Congress.
Monday, June 2, 1788. ON a report of a Committee, consisting of Mr. Dane, Mr. Clark and Mr. Hamilton, to whom was referred a report of the Board of Treasury relative to the debt due to the United States from De la Lande and Finje. RESOLVED, That the Board of Treasury be and they are hereby authorized to negotiate and settle with De la Lande and Finje, or any person appearing to negotiate and settle the same, the claims and demands which the United States have against the said De la Lande and Finje, and to compound and settle the same on such terms as they may judge most for the interest of the said States, taking into consideration all the circumstances relative to the said debt. According to order the House was resolved into a Committee of the whole, and after some time the President resumed the Chair, and Mr. Otis reported that the Committee of the whole had taken into consideration the subject referred to them and agreed thereon to report.
"That in their opinion it is expedient that the district of Kentucky be erected into an Independent State, and therefore they submit the following resolution:—That the address and resolutions from the district of Kentucky, with the acts of the Legislature of Virginia therein specified, be referred to a Committee consisting of a Member from each State, to prepare and report an act for acceding to the independence of the said district of Kentucky, and for receiving the same into the Union as a member thereof, in a mode conformable to the articles of confederation."
Tuesday, June 3, 1788. Congress took into consideration the report made yesterday from the Committee of the whole, and on the question,
RESOLVED, That Congress agree to the said report. Congress thereupon proceeded to the election, and the ballots being taken, the following Members were elected and appointed to compose the Committee:—
Mr. Williamson from North Carolina. Mr. Hamilton — New-York. Mr. Arnold — Rhode-Island. Mr. Baldwin — Georgia. Mr. Dane — Massachusetts. Mr. Kearny — Delaware. Mr. Gilmore — New-Hampshire. Mr. Brown — Virginia. Mr. Clark — New-Jersey. Mr. Tucker — South-Carolina. Mr. Reid — Pennsylvania.
By a Gentleman from Virginia we learn, that Mr. Henry has opened his objections to the plan of Government proposed, and has been answered by Governor Randolph most fully. Mr. Zephaniah Jackson, a Gentleman of great influence in the Western part of that State, has declared himself as the decided advocate of the New Constitution.—From this person a different conduct had been expected by the enemies of a Federal Union.
Late accounts from Virginia also mention, that Mr. Madison is much indisposed. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Philadelphia, dated 16th June, 1788.
"Mr. Mason has written to a friend of his, of 7th June, from whom I have it, that he thinks it will be carried against him in Convention "by means of arts the most despicable, from persons worthy the highest contempt."—You will not wonder that disappointment should draw from him such expressions. Henry spoke against the Constitution—he was ably answered by Mr. Randolph.—Mr. Zeph. Jackson, a man of great influence in the back counties, and esteemed Antifederal, has warmly joined the Federal party.—The sanguine promise a handsome majority—the prudent are satisfied it will be carried. The Antifederalists confess their hopes desert them."
Extract of a letter from Charleston, South-Carolina, dated May 26.
"You will have heard of the adoption of the Federal Government by this State, before this reaches you—I was highly pleased in my attendance on the debates in the Convention, (especially the two last days), with the moderation of the majority, and not less so with the candor and conciliatory behavior and conduct of the minority.—After the grand question upon the ratification was decided, the leaders of the opposition rose and declared, that altho' they did not entertain the same opinion of the Constitution with the gentlemen of the majority; they, notwithstanding, looked upon themselves to be as firmly bound by it, as if it had met with their approbation; and that they considered it as their duty, and most certainly should not only endeavor to reconcile their Constituents to it, but give it every support in their power.—This declaration does them much honor." Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the city of Adelphi, upon the Muskingham, to a friend in Boston, dated May 18, 1788.
"We arrived here on the 8th of April, at 2 o'clock, P.M. most heartily congratulating each other upon the sight of our new country, and our Yellow Brethren, who, with the kindest embraces, received us on the Banks of the Muskingham, in great numbers, men, women and children of different tribes. Numbers of their Chiefs have returned to their towns, to inform the nations, of the arrival of their Brother Yankees, as they call us; and have since come back, bringing large quantities of furs—and this news,—that they are for peace, and highly pleased with our arrival among them, and that they will bring us in furs, &c. for our bread and spirits."
"This country, for fertility of soil, and pleasantness of situation, not only exceeds my expectations, but exceeds any part of America or Europe I ever was in. The climate is exceedingly healthy, we have not had a man sick since we have been here. We have found in the course of our surveys, tracts of level land, of near five hundred acres, of the richest soil I ever saw, few trees and no under brush. The country abounds with free stone, coal, lime stone, well watered and timbered. For fruit and herbage it is superior to the old settlements, on many parts of America. I have been offered £6. specie per acre for my eight acre lot.—We have started twenty buffalos in a drove. The deer are as plenty as sheep with you, beaver and otter very plenty, I have known one person to catch thirty of them in two or three nights. Turkeys are innumerable, they come within a few rods of us in the fields. We have already planted fields of corn of an hundred and fifty acres in a piece."
"Upon the whole, it is impossible for a man that has the least taste for agriculture, not to be captivated with the appearance of this country. Four thousand fowls have come down the River in the month of April last, to different parts of the Ohio."
Yesterday arrived the ship Anne and Susan, Seeds, in 35 days from Newry; Brig Betsey, Ablin, from Dublin, in 46 days; Sloop Nancy, Frenow, from Charleston, in 10 days; And sloop Betsey, Wood, in 46 days from Bonavista.
On Tuesday cleared out the sloop Unity, Watson, for Philadelphia; sloop Hannah, Briggs, for Kennebec; and sloop Recovery, Rankin, for Bermuda.
The ship St. James, Capt. Collins, from this port, is safe arrived at Newry.
The ship Payal Packet, from Newry, run ashore near the Narrows yesterday.
Died, on Sunday last, Mr. JOHN RUCKER, of this city, Merchant, after a lingering complaint, which he bore with fortitude and resignation. His remains were attended by a very respectable number of citizens, and interred on Tuesday evening, in the public vault at St. Paul's Church.
From Thomas's Massachusetts Spy, &c. MR. THOMAS,
You are requested to give a place in your paper, to the following brief account of KENTUCKY, extracted from a letter of ISAAC MONISON, Esq. to the Rev. JORDON DODGE, at Sturbridge, in this county; it is dated at Nelson County, Kentucky, Jan. 11, 1788.
THE soil of Kentucky, like all other countries, is various; but what we here distinguish by the terms first and second, rate lands, are from one to several feet deep, of a chocolate, and in some places of a deep Mulletto color, exempted from stones, gravel, or sand on the surface; and where these are the qualities, it pretty generally lies on a flat limestone quarry, from 3 to 6 feet below the soil. Lands of an inferior quality, of which (notwithstanding the accounts given of this country) there are large quantities, pretty generally resemble those of Pennsylvania and New-Jersey, but are not so stony. It is chiefly a well, but heavy, timbered country; the chief of which are, black walnut, locust, wild cherry, various kinds of ash, mulberry, butter-nut hickory, beech, white wood oaks and sugar trees in abundance. Lands of the first and second quality (and at present we do not improve any other) are very little troubled with underbrush; what there is, is chiefly spice wood, and what the Indians call papaw. The produce is Indian corn, wheat, rye, spelt, rice, barley, tobacco, hemp, flax, cotton, indigo, and vines of every kind. The three first articles of grain, are raised in such abundance, as to stagger the belief of the most credulous.—One hundred and seven bushels of shelled corn have actually been gathered in one season from one acre planted in the usual way, and ploughed and hoed only twice. However the more general crop is from fifty to eighty bushels the acre. I do not recollect to have heard of any person being so curious in ascertaining the produce of an acre of wheat; but a gentleman assured me that from two bushels of rye which he sowed last year, he reaped eighty-eight bushels and an half:
and the soil, after a year or two's cultivation, is equally friendly to wheat. The water here is cold and clear. Mill streams are plenty, and will be generally well supplied with water seven or eight months of the year; and at no season will there be any deficiency of water for domestic purposes. The streams always have sufficiency for stock, and it may any where be obtained with digging.
We are yet a part of the government of Virginia; but have, after many consultations on, and investigation of the subject, with the free consent of the parent state, decided in favour of a separation, which is to take place (provided Congress accede to the measure) on the first of January, 1789. It is uncertain what constitution we may form; as we are composed of politicians from every state in the union, and generally prejudiced in favor of those from whence we came; but it is most probable we shall have a prevailing predilection for that of Virginia, and for the same reason it is probable her code of laws will be adopted; and which for their salutariness, and the cheapness of their administration, are perhaps equal to any extant.
At present, the proposed federal constitution is but little attended to among us, and will doubtless meet with a reception here, according to its fate in the original states. Such gentlemen of intelligence as I have conversed with on this subject seem in favor of it.
Virginia reprobates the emission of paper currency. Landed property cannot be distressed for the payment of debts. And every man is at full liberty to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of his own conscience.
Perhaps no country, so young and distant, was ever so furnished with pious and eminent clergy, of almost every denomination, as Kentucky. We have a few Episcopalians, one Roman Catholic priest, several Presbyterians and Baptist ministers; the latter are much the most respectable number. We are not less happy on the subject of education; we have a charter for a college, which will soon be well endowed, eight thousand acres of land of the first quality are already given it. The country abounds in Latin schools; one of which, consisting of near 30 scholars, will, we expect, open in a few days in this place, for the accommodation of which we have a stone edifice erected, forty feet by twenty-four. And its situation is healthful, and in a rich, thick settled country, the inhabitants of which are much devoted to the institution; we have very exalted expectations of its future usefulness.
The Kentucky country, which in the Indian language imports bloody, was established into a separate district in 1782; it now contains seven counties, the names of which are Jefferson, Fayette, Lincoln, Nelson, Madison, Mercer, and Bourbon; but the great extent of our settlements, being upwards of two hundred miles in length, and as much in breadth, and the almost daily arrivals by land and water, make it next to impossible to give you with any degree of certainty the number of our inhabitants. The lowest calculations make them fifty thousand souls, and others double that number. Most of the savage tribes contiguous, are still hostile to this country; the exterior parts of which are some times visited by them, but the chief injury done of late is in stealing horses:—Instances, it is true, sometimes occur of murders committed by these vagrants; but as the country is so populous, and its settlements so extensive, the interior parts, which for a long time, have enjoyed a state of perfect safety, take but little or no notice of them.
Though I referred you to Mr. Ellison for a description of the climate of Kentucky, I find it so very healthful, at the same time so very moderate, compared with any thing experienced in the northern States, that I cannot do justice to my feelings without touching on the subject. The falls of Ohio, which are about the mean clime of the district, are situated in 37, 39 of latitude; but the country is much more serene and temperate than we could suppose from its situation, owing chiefly perhaps, to its great remove from the northern lakes. Our coldest weather is generally at the setting in of the winter, and seldom continues more than seven or eight weeks.
Travellers observe, that countries generally abound in grass and other articles of forage, in proportion to their necessity; which, though perhaps true, is by no means the case in this country: the soil, from its nature and richness, is extremely well calculated for grass and other articles of herbage, the chief of which are, buffalo grass, buffalo clover, which nearly resembles our English clover, but is larger) and a kind which from its similarity to it, is called rye grass: and where these do not prevail, the country abounds with cane, which, continuing green during the winter, affords an excellent food for stock, inasmuch that our cattle in most parts of the country will be excellent beef every day in the year, without any care or labor of the owner.
The lands on the northwest of the Ohio are excellent in spots, but in general, far inferior to Kentucky, though better watered. We are happy to hear that the Ohio Company have succeeded in their application to Congress: and devoutly wish to see the settlement of that country take place; not only as it will be a barrier to this, but are persuaded, that those adventurers who may not obtain an advantageous lot, will seek their fortunes on this side the river.
We have many things in Kentucky, which are entitled to the epithet of curiosities, among which, the many salt springs may be justly reckoned. Salt at present is made but at five places; but the country abounds in springs, or licks, where it can be procured with equal ease. It now sells from six to twelve shillings a bushel, but will in a future day be much lower.
The fortifications so frequently met with in this country are the admiration of every traveller. They are mostly of a circular figure, on well chosen ground, and contiguous to water: near each of these is found a mount of earth, thrown up in form of a cone, and is generally proportionate to its adjacent fortification. When, or by whom these were made, is equally uncertain. They appear to be very old. The timber growing on the walls, within the forts and ditches, has the appearance of that elsewhere. They must have been the efforts of a very numerous, industrious and warlike people, and could not have been constructed without the use of iron tools. On searching, the mounts are found to contain a white substance resembling lime, which is supposed to have been human bones.
Another kind of tombs are also found, though neither as large nor frequent as the others, and are thus constructed: a level spot of ground is first chose, and covered over with flat smooth stones, on which the corpse of the deceased are laid, which are separated from each other by flat stones set up edgewise, and in rows, at a distance sufficient to contain a human body in each partition. After the first layer or floor is filled, the whole is floored over with the same materials as the bottom, and a second tier is deposited in the same manner as the first, and so on to a third, fourth, and fifth, and perhaps a sixth story; and the monumental pile is finally completed with common stone, heaped up to a considerable height, terminating in a point. One of the most remarkable of those latter kind is found a few miles from a town in this county, called Lexington. Its base is sufficient to contain a dozen of human bodies, and is about five stories high. These cannot be as ancient as the former
kind, the bones in them not being yet entirely dissolved. An arm bone was not long since found in the one near Lexington, full three inches longer than the arm of a man six feet high and of a proportionable thickness.
To conclude, the distinguished bounties heaven conferred on this country, in soil, climate, health, fulness, and many other peculiarities, are real curiosities to the inhabitants of the northern States.

The Inhabitants of the City of
NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that a double liber in- tends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's.
He trusts he will be able to give general satisfac- tion to those who may please to employ him, (signi- fied by their coming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join in unreserved assiduity to the palm and down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21. with re- muneration to the business preferred. 2d. To allow each a proper district, in such man- ner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be re- gularly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi- red) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this of- fice, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The undertaking merits the greatest attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates from a foul chimney, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of sweepers attending at regular periods; and in others, no knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
