Mercantile Laws of the
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
Collected and arranged for the convenience of
Merchants and others concerned in Trade.
A COLLECTION of the MERCANTILE LAWS of the State of New-York, comprized in a small publication, has been long wanted. The inconveniences that Merchants, Traders, and others are subjected to, in turning over voluminous Statute Books to gain a perusal of the subjects they are in search of, besides the expense in procuring such publications, are universally felt and acknowledged. The Printer flatters himself in the COLLECTION now offered to the Public, the inconveniences complained of will be remedied, as great care has been taken in the Compilation, that nothing should be omitted which might be found useful.

BOSTON, July 23.
A gentleman of information from North-Carolina, informs us, that he left that State since its Convention were in session—and that he had such information from several gentlemen belonging to the Convention, as warranted him to assure us, that a few days would give us the pleasing information of that State's having ADOPTED the CONSTITUTION.
A correspondent cannot help lamenting the neglect which the virtuous and oppressed minority of Rhode-Island, now experienced from the federalists of the other States. Did the people recollect what they suffer from their political and mad opponents, they could not thus neglect them. They ought to be respected as the greatest champions for the honor, interest and happiness of America, now on the continent. Their exertions have been unremitted; and at the risk of life, liberty, and property, they have opposed a torrent of corruption and knavery; and by their exertions have kept the "holy flame" of federalism from being extinguished in that State. When the virtuous Bostonians were oppressed by their enemies, the good men in every part of the continent gave them succor and consolation—now the virtuous federalists of that State have an equal claim upon their brethren.
"Those whom God wills for destruction he first makes mad"—is an observation verified in the recent conduct of the majority of Rhode-Island. That State, from its central situation, its harbors, &c. had a right to expect to derive greater benefits from the establishment of the new Constitution, than any other State in America, according to its extent. The other small States in the union, saw their security amply provided for in the Constitution, and they have adopted it, unanimously: But this one—although in the Federal Senate, she would have a thirteenth part of the control of the general government—when in reality, she has not a two-hundredth part of the wealth or territory of the continent, and will not defray a fiftieth part of the general expenses; because the Constitution provides against the introduction of paper-money, &c. has the folly to reject it. The consequence must be its destruction, as a separate state government.
Although the splendor of several of the processions in other parts of the United States, has out-shone that of this town; yet Boston does not stand in the lowest grade of processional rank. It must be considered, that when this town adopted the measure, a procession in America was a "new thing"—that it was here, the production of originality—performed in the winter season; and finally, that it was on the move in less than 22 hours after the idea of the measure was first conceived.
NEWPORT, July 17.
A correspondent is happy that WILLIAM WEST, Esq. one of the Judges of the Supreme Judicial Court in this State, has published the reasons of his collecting and heading a body of men, some of whom appeared in arms, to prevent the inhabitants of the town of Providence, from demonstrating their joy at the ratification of the Ninth Pillar, by the State of New-Hampshire. The Hon. Judge is now before the public. We tremble for the gallant General—the wise Judge. You may, being in a desperate situation, take pleasure in leading forth a mob; venture to prohibit other celebrations, and with the sword suspended over the head of a fellow citizen, threaten him with immediate death, should he feel a federal flame glowing within him. Your wisdom may dictate a line of conduct which, in your fancied knowledge, you may deem equally judicious, as brave; but remember, that, as you have come forth to vindicate your conduct, with those under your command, the whole affair will be unravelled, and though prudence, with her fears, may heave a political sigh, and think it best to be quiet, yet be assured that strictures will be passed upon your unprecedented conduct, lash will succeed lash, and your TRUE character, stripped of every false covering, will be exhibited to the public, who will either acquit or condemn you.
EAST GREENWICH, (R. I.) July 8. Friday being the anniversary of American Independence, the citizens of this place collected, universally and agreed to commemorate that happy event, and at the same time celebrate the adoption of the Constitution by nine States.
The rosy morn was ushered in by firing of cannon and ringing of bells, which continued, with short intermissions, through the day. About 11 o'clock, they went in procession, with the ladies, adorned with a ribband of nine stripes, to the chapel, where was delivered an elegant oration on the two important revolutions, Independence and Federal Union. From the chapel they walked in the same order to Federal Hall, where they had a most luxuriant repast on a pig barbecued. This pig weighed just nine times nine pounds, with three legs and tail cut off, and was served up with the greatest neatness and magnificence. Every culinary article, of which they had an infinite variety, was set up in numbers and divisions, emblematic of Independence.
ing toasts were drank, attended with a Federal discharge of cannon.
 1. Independence.  2. Federalism.  3. Liberty.  4. The Governor and Company.  5. The Federal Pillars.  6. The Supreme Judiciary.  7. The Federal Pig.  8. The Newport Herald.  9. May it scourge despotic anarchy. 
They then proceeded to the Town Hall, where they closed the day with festivity and dancing. The evening was distinguished by an universal illumination, playing off fire works, rockets, crackers, serpents, &c. The most cordial satisfaction glowed in every countenance, and the whole was conducted with more than mechanical order and regularity.
The day following, on having information of the adoption of the Federal Constitution by Virginia, the joy of the people burst forth in new transports of mirth and satisfaction, which nothing could equal except the decent propriety with which they were attended.
It must give pleasure to every friend of liberty, to behold this little patriotic village putting on the appearance of Federalism. The most noted places in this town whose names have been preserved with a kind of superstitious veneration time immemorial, are now designated by names expressive of this event. The conversation of the inhabitants is carried on in a style of Federal purity; and one may as well expect to make the tour of Europe without any knowledge of French, as to be distinguished in company without a smattering in the rudiments of the Federal dialect.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 1.
EXTRACT from the Journal of Congress. Friday, July 25, 1788.
Resolved, That the Secretary at War direct the detachment of troops marching to the Westward to rendezvous at Easton, in Pennsylvania, and from thence march into the county of Luzerne, for quelling the disturbances in that county; provided the Executive Council of Pennsylvania shall find the assistance of those troops necessary; provided also, that the said troops shall not be delayed in their march to the Ohio more than two weeks.
Extract of a letter from Little Elk, dated July 23, 1788.
"Much has been said, in this quarter, about the seat of Congress, and many are in sanguine expectation that it will be at the junction of the three states (Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland). For plenty of provision it, perhaps, is equal to any part of the union; just below, in the peninsula, pork, corn, wheat, rye and oats abound; to the northward, beef, butter, cheese, &c. &c. &c. The neighborhood is well supplied with merchant mills, and inhabited by industrious farmers, and ingenious mechanics. The situation is high and healthy, and equally convenient to receive intelligence from Delaware and Chesapeake bays; and it is remote from any danger of a naval attack."
"These are considerations worthy of the most serious notice, and may perhaps one day or other attract deserved attention: But at present the want of houses for convenience and accommodation of the members of the new Government will prevent this place being looked to for the meeting of the Congress, in the first instance. Nevertheless, should it be fixed on as a place for the Federal District, buildings could be easily raised to answer the purpose in twelve or eighteen months. No place will be found of greater security, and at the same time uniting so many advantages and conveniences to render it eligible as a seat of the Federal Government."
Occurrences in Convention the same day the Constitution was ratified.
THE question being called, and the yeas and nays required, Mr. G. Livingston rose, and made the following address:
Mr. President, I hope for indulgence from this honorable house, that I may shortly state the reasons which actuate me for taking the part I do in the business before us. The great and final question on the constitution is now to be taken. Permit me, Sir, again to say, that I have had a severe struggle in my mind between duty and prejudice.
I entered this house, as fully determined on previous amendments (I sincerely believe) as any one member in it. Nothing, Sir, but a conviction that I am serving the most essential interests of my country; could ever induce me to take another ground, and differ from so many of my friends on this floor. I think, Sir, I am in this pursuing the object I had at first in view—the real good of my country. With respect to the constitution itself, I have the same idea of it I ever had—that is, that there is not safety under it, unless amended. Some time after we first met, Sir, a majority of those in this house who oppose it, did determine not to reject it. Only one question then remained—which was the most eligible mode to en-
sure a general convention of the states, to re-consider it, to have the essential amendments engrafted into it.
I do not here mean to go into the reasons which have been repeatedly urged on this head—but only to say, that on the most mature and deliberate reflection on this momentous occasion, the result of my judgment is—that the adoption on the table, with the bill of rights and amendments contained in it, and the circular letter to the different states accompanying it, is, considering our present situation with respect to our sister states, the wisest and best measure we can possibly pursue. I shall therefore vote for it.
As an American, I am proud of my country—as a Whig, I love it, and feel the duty of guarding its rights and freedom to the utmost of my power: and, Sir, considering my situation in this house, as a representative of a respectable country, I feel the weight of duty increasing in a redoubled proportion.
Sir, I know I was elected a member of this convention, from a confidence the people had in my integrity; and, Sir, I trust I am, at this instant, giving them an unquestionable evidence of it. The people of the county I have the honor to represent, are, in general, thinking and sensible—and I have not the least doubt but that they soon will, if they at present do not, see the propriety of the measure here pursued.
But, Sir, I would beg leave to mention another consideration, of a nature infinitely superior to any thing which possibly can be put in competition with it, as a motive of action—an approving conscience, and an approving God. I must hereafter stand at a bar, where, if the most trifling conduct must be accounted for (and which I fully believe) surely this most important transaction of my life will be strictly scrutinized:—To that awful being who will there preside, I would, with due submission and humility, appeal for the rectitude of my intentions. I hope, Sir, the house will pardon me for having been so personal in this address;—I owe it, Sir, to them, as well as to myself:—especially to a part of one side of the house, who, I have no doubt, are actuated by the purest motives, and are equally conscientious with myself on this occasion; and with whom, and every friend to his country, I will steadily persevere in every possible means to procure this desirable object, a revision of the constitution.
For a consistency in conduct, to this honorable house, to my constituents, and to my country, on this occasion, with the utmost cheerfulness do I submit myself.
Mr. Livingston having concluded, Mr. Winer, from Orange, made a short address; after stating a few reasons, having re-considered the above ratification, said he should not give his assent to it.
The yeas and nays being then taken, it was carried in the affirmative in the manner following, viz.
For the AFFIRMATIVE.   Mr. Jay,  Mr. Lefferts,    Mr. Hobart,  Mr. Vandervoort,    Mr. Hamilton,  Mr. Bancker,    Mr. R. Livingston,  Mr. Ryers,    Mr. Roosevelt,  Mr. L.

After ratifying, his excellency the president, according to notice given last Thursday, addressed the Convention very politely; the purport of which was, that until a Convention was called to consider the amendments now recommended by this Convention, the probability was, that the body of the people who are opposed to the Constitution, would not be satisfied; he would however, as far as his power and influence would extend, endeavor to keep up peace and good order among them: To which the members and spectators were very attentive—and more than a common pleasantness appeared in their countenance.
A circular letter, addressed to the executives of the other States, was then read, and agreed to, committing the ratification of them
to co-operate with this State in obtaining a consideration of the amendments annexed to the said ratification, by a Convention to be called for the purpose. The said letter was then signed by all the members present—and the Convention adjourned.
And on Tuesday afternoon, arrived in town, from Poughkeepsie, his excellency the President, and several other gentlemen, Members of the Convention—who were honored with a salute of eleven guns as they passed the battery.
Yesterday arrived the brig Anna Maria, Holstead, from Madeira and Tenerife. In this vessel came passenger, John Marten Pintard, Esq. Commercial Agent of the United States at Madeira.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Peggy, Lawton, sloop Three Sisters, Bullock, and sloop Peggy, Cahoon, from Rhode-Island.
BALTIMORE, July 25.
Last Wednesday night came on the severest storm ever experienced here at this season of the year. The wind at E. N. E. blew with unabated fury, (accompanied with heavy rain) for upwards of 12 hours, which occasioned a most dreadful inundation of the sea. That deluged all the wharves, stores, and low grounds near the Basin and at Fell's Point, producing a scene of devastation and horror not to be described. The innumerable merchant be held with unavailing regret, the fruits of his toil and enterprise, in one moment, destroyed by the rage of combined elements.
Immense quantities of sugar, rice, salt, dry goods, and other valuable merchandise, were entirely ruined. The damage cannot, at present, be ascertained with precision; but it is estimated at fifty thousand pounds specie. While the contemplative mind, reflecting on the awfulness of the scene, which displayed the amazing power of the God of Nature, and the feebleness of man, gratitude towards Him, who "rules the whirlwind and directs the storm," must have been excited in every feeling breast, that the winds and waves were mercifully restrained from further ravages.
Anecdote of Dr. Johnson.
Long before Dr. Johnson broached the idea of his Dictionary, or any other work which chiefly contributed to raise and establish his literary reputation, he was much with a bookseller of eminence, who frequently consulted him about manuscripts offered for sale, or books newly published; but whenever Johnson's opinion happened to differ from his, he would stare Johnson full in the face, and remark, with much gravity and arrogance, I wish you could write as well. This Johnson thought was literally telling a professional man that he was an impostor, or that he assumed a character to which he was not equal; he therefore heard the gross imputation once or twice with sullen contempt. One day, however, in the presence of several gentlemen who knew them both, this bookseller very incautiously threw out the same liberal opinion. Johnson could suppress his indignation no longer. "Sir," said he, "you are not competent to decide a question which you do not understand. If your allegations be true, you have the brutality to insult me with what is not my fault, but my misfortune. If your allegations be not true, your impudent speech only shews how much more detestable a liar is than a brute."
The strong conclusive aspect and ferocity of manner which accompanied the utterance of these words, from a poor author to a purse-proud bookseller, made a deep impression in Johnson's favor, and secured him perhaps more respect and civility, in his subsequent intercourse with the trade, than any other transaction in his life.
Goldsmith, who hated the prudery of Johnson's morals, and affected to ridicule the foppery of Hawkesworth's manners, yet warmly admired the genius of both, used to say, among his acquaintance, that Johnson would have made a decent monk, and Hawkesworth a good dancing-master.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unreserved assiduity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement 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 foremen, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) 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 office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public 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 greater 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 in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at required periods, and in others, not 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.
