New-York, Oct. 1.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cumberland County, West-Jersey, dated the 19th Sept. 1787.
The sale of our Excise-Office took place yesterday afternoon. In the morning, previous thereto, a very large and respectable number of Freeholders convened at the Court-House, to devise such measures as should answer the law, at the same time obviate its pernicious effects. Jonathan Elmer, Esq. was chosen Chairman. After a short, but pertinent address from the Chair, we proceeded to the Election of a committee, in whom we vested full power to negotiate the business. The persons chosen were Col. David Potter, Major Daniel Maskell, and Doctor Thomas H. McCalla. Had you been present, there was sufficient latitude to have exercised your risible faculties. It was put up at one penny by the Doctor, the second bidder made it six-pence, the third, two and six-pence. No person offering higher, it was struck off, for the sole use and behoof of the Country. Notwithstanding the ill reception this law has met amongst us, there are no set of people to be found, who are greater friends to good order, more attached to the Constitution and Government, than we are here. The design or spirit of the law created no uneasiness; the mode of collection, was the only stumbling-block. Should our Assembly at their next sitting, expunge that clause, which farms the office, and appoints officers with low and fixed salaries, it would be received with the greatest satisfaction. Whilst writing this, I have just received information by a gentleman of veracity, that the Office in Salem County, was struck off at fourteen pence. We are anxious to hear what our Convention of Patriots have done. Our fervent, and most sanguine wishes are, that they may have framed a Government, which will make the United States, in reality, One.
We learn from Frederickburg, that on the 25th ult. the county-court clerk's office of Westmoreland, was broke open, and that all the records and other papers belonging to it, from the year 1776 to the present time, were stolen.
We are informed that the state of Franklin has sent, or is to send, two deputies to Kentucky, to meet a Convention of all the western settlements for the purpose of consulting proper measures respecting the navigation of the river Mississippi. A British paper observes, that in 1777 Mr. Hastings received a humble petition from Shaw-Allum, the Great Mogul, for relief against his enemies. In 1787 Mr. Hastings is on his knees before the House of Lords, taken into custody, by a servant of the House of Commons, and obliged to give bail to insure his not flying from his country. In 1777 Mr. Burke was reckoned the best speaker in the House of Commons, and the first formidable Opponent of the Minister. In 1787 Mr. Burke is either coughed down, or not attended to, and is formidable only to the very opposition that he acts with. In 1777 Lord North managed the helm of state, and directed all the public affairs of the kingdom. In 1787, we read, in a newspaper, that poor Lord North was led out of Westminster Abbey by one of his daughters! In 1777 Sir --- was a very smart and active waiter at a public tavern. In 1787 Sir --- is a Nabob, a Baronet, and Knight of the shire. In 1777 one Arnold headed the American troops that retired from Canada, at Saratoga. In 1787 this same Arnold is closeted at St. James's, where he and [his Majesty] are one! In 1777 Col. Conway, Sir Henry Clinton's aid de camp, offered to fight a duel for the sake of a strumpet. In 1787 this same gentleman preached a sermon on the following text, If any one strike thee on the left cheek offer him the other. In 1777 Dr. Prettyman went to the gallery of the House of Commons to hear Mr. Pitt's speech, and was turned out. In 1787 Dr. Prettyman rose in his seat, in the House of Peers, and made a short speech in favor of a drayman committed, while Mr. Pitt stood below the bar to hear him. Such are the changes that may happen in ten years!
Anecdote of the late King of Prussia. A Prussian Lieutenant Colonel whose regiment had been disbanded at the end of the war of 1756, was constantly soliciting his Majesty to be again put under the establishment, and became so troublesome that he was forbidden the court. Soon after a libel appeared against his Majesty, and Frederick, however indulgent he was to transgressions of this kind, was so much offended with the audacity of this, that he offered a reward of fifty gold Frederics, to any person who would discover the author. The Lieutenant-Colonel sent in his name to the King, signifying that he had an important piece of information to give. He was admitted. "Sir, you have promised fifty gold Frederics to the person who would discover the author of such a libel! I am the man. I lay my head at your feet, but
keep your Royal word, and while you punish the criminal, send to my poor wife and wretched children the sum you promised to the informer." His Majesty already knew who was the author of the libel. He was affected with the desperate extremity to which necessity had obliged an otherwise estimable officer to have recourse. But he had owned himself guilty. Go, said the Monarch, instantly, to Spandau, and under the locks of that fortress, wait the effects of the just wrath of your Sovereign. "I obey, Sire; but the fifty gold Frederics." "In two hours your wife shall receive them. Take this letter and deliver it to the Governor of Spandau, but enjoin him not to open it till after dinner." The Lieutenant Colonel arrived at the dreadful Castle assigned him for his abode, and declared himself a prisoner. When the desert was upon the table, the Governor opened the letter. It contained these words. "I give the command of Spandau to the bearer of this order. He will soon see his wife and children arrive with the fifty gold Frederics. The present Governor of Spandau will go to B---, in the same quality. I bestow that recompense upon him in consideration of his services."
FREDERIC.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, Sept. 28, 1787.
WHEREAS doubts have, in certain instances, arisen, whether foreign Consuls residing in the United States are entitled to an exemption from such legal imposts and duties on merchandizes, by them imported for their own use, as are payable by other subjects of their respective nations:
Resolved, That no Consuls of any nation are entitled to such exemptions in the United States.
For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
THE Citizens of the State of New-York have received yesterday, from Cato (an ally of Pompey, no doubt) an introductory discourse on the appearance of the New System for the Government of the United States: this, we are told, will be followed by such observations, on the constitution proposed to the Union, "as will promote our welfare and be justified by reason and truth." There is, in this preparatory lecture, little that is necessary to be dwelt on just now; and if Cato had not possessed his future investigations, in such terms as wore a questionable shape, they should have passed unheeded.
Cato tells us that he will not directly engage as an advocate, for this new form of Government---or as an opponent. Here Cato, without any dispute, acts prudently. It will be wise in him to rest a while; since he has given a preface, which, with small address, can easily be made to work on either side. When the sentiments of the Confederated States come to be generally known, it will be time enough to proceed.
Cato will then start fair. A little caution, however, he thinks necessary to be given in the mean time. "Do not" says this prudent Censor, in addressing the Citizens, "because you admit that something must be done, adopt any thing." What, in the name of common sense, does this injunction import? I appeal to men of understanding, whether it is not obviously the language of distrust, calculated, as far as such a thing can influence, to prejudice the public opinion against the New Constitution; and, in effect, by a periphrastic mode of speech, recommending the rejection of it!---"Teach the Members of the Convention (Cato very modestly goes on) that you are capable of a supervision of their conduct; the same medium that gave you this system, if it is erroneous, while the door is now open, can make amendments, or give you another." O excellent thought, and happily advised! Be clamorous, my friends---be discontented---assert your prerogative---for ever assert the power and Majesty of the People!!! I am not willing to suspect any man's intentions, when they aim at giving information; but, when they come abroad, couched in such magisterial terms, I own I feel some indignation. If this demagogue had talents to throw light on the subject of Legislation, why did he not offer them when the Convention was in session? If they had been judged useful, no doubt they would have been attended to. But is this now a time for such insinuations? Has not the wisdom of America been drawn, as it were, into a focus, and the proffered Constitution sent forth with an unanimity, that is unequalled in ancient or modern story? And shall we now wrangle and find fault with that excellent Whole, because, perhaps, some of its parts might have been more perfect?---There is neither virtue nor patriotism in such conduct. Besides, how can Cato say, "That the door is now open to receive any amendments, or to give us another Constitution, if required. I believe he has advanced this without proper authority. I am inclined to believe that the door of recommendation is shut, and cannot be opened by the same men; that the Convention, in one word, is dissolved: if so, we must reject, in toto, or, vice versa; just take it as
it is; and be thankful. I deny the similarity betwixt the present Constitution and that of the United Netherlands. Cato would here draw a very melancholy picture, but it won't apply. In my humble opinion, it has a much greater affinity with a Government, which, in all human probability, will remain when the History of the Seven Provinces shall be forgotten. Cato tells us (what all America knows by this time) that the New Constitution comes sanctioned with the approbation of General Washington; and, though he appears to have some reverence for that great patriot chief, yet the very sagaciously observes, that the best and wisest man may err; and thence infers, that every man in politics, as well as in religion, ought to judge for himself. This paragraph needs no comment, and, for that reason, I shall not touch it; but, with all deference to Cato's penetration, I would recommend to him, instead of entering into fruitless discussion of what has come from so many clear heads, and good hearts, to join his Fellow Citizens, and endeavour to reconcile this excellent Constitution to the weak, the suspicious, and the interested, who will be chiefly opposed to it; that we may enjoy the blessings of it as soon as possible. I would also advise him to give his vote (as he will probably be one of the Electors) to the American Fabius: it will be more healthy for this country, and this state, that he should be induced to accept of the Presidency of the New Government, than that he should be solicited again to accept of the command of an army.
Cato, it appears, intends to adventure on perilous ground; it will therefore become him to be cautious on what terms he takes the field. "He advises us to attach ourselves to measures, and not to men." In this instance he advises well; and I heartily recommend to himself, not to forget the force of that important admonition: for Cato, in his future marches, will very probably be followed by
CÆSAR.

For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
To those PERSONS who have lately attempted the destruction of the City of New-York by Fire.
THOUGH I am not a resident in this city, a regard for the prosperity of its inhabitants, and an esteem even for your happiness, occasion me thus in a few words to address you.
As in the cultivated parts of this country, there are but very few who do not profess Christianity, (which most forcibly inculcates the strictest justice and equity; the most perfect love and benevolence; requiring us in all cases "to do unto others as we would they should do unto us,") it is more than probable you were dedicated to God in baptism, and that even now you profess to acknowledge the truth of the gospel; the authority of the divine law; that the Almighty takes cognizance of all your ways, and that, hereafter, you will either be punished or rewarded, according to your present actions.
But what hath been your late conduct? Hath it not been such as the most abandoned Pagan and Barbarian would blush to commit; such as no one can contemplate but with the utmost detestation and abhorrence? Have you not, with deliberation, more than once (I grieve for the depravity of human nature, while I mention it) essayed, under covert of midnight darkness, to involve the City of New-York in flames? And should you have succeeded in your evil design, what language could have expressed the scenes of misery which would have been exhibited, and the awful consequences that would have ensued?
What could have prompted you to have entered on this business? Was it a desire of gain? Can it be possible that you could have wished that thousands should have been reduced to beggary, that you might have obtained a few pounds? Rather than procure your support by honest industry, could you have been content that widows should weep, or orphans cry---some perhaps, expire in death, and great numbers of others be rendered miserable? Or were you stimulated to these acts, to gratify the passion of envy, hatred, malice or revenge? It need not be mentioned, that no prosperity of others, nor any conduct of individuals to you, can, in the least degree, justify or palliate your crime. And who can have just conceptions of its magnitude? Contrast-ed with your character, highway-men appear amiable! Compared to you, they may be regarded as Saints!
Reflect, with seriousness, on your wickedness! Remember, that though, through the kind providence of God, your most iniquitous intention hath been frustrated, you are as criminal in the Divine esteem, as if you had accomplished your end!
Before this, have you not suffered conscience, to do its duty? Have you not been filled with terror, at the thought of the infamy and woe which await you? Have you not, with the most heart-felt compunction and contrition, relinquished your nefarious design? Or, in opposition to the
will of Heaven, in defiance of the Omnipotent; in contempt of all human law and authority; regardless of humanity, and every principle of virtue, are you determined, still to pursue your malevolent purpose; resolved to excel the most abandoned in guilt; and, if possible, to exceed Satan himself in iniquity?
Should such be your resolution, I assure myself, that through the vigilance of the Citizens, and the goodness of God, your diabolical scheme will still continue to be defeated. But should you be successful in your enterprise, and (what is very far from being probable) should you escape that severity of punishment due to your offence, from the hand of human justice; Be mindful of the serious truth, that you could not finally escape the horrors, pangs and condemnation of your guilty breasts; nor the infinitely more dreadful punishment which would be inflicted on you by Divine Justice! And what shame would cover you! What terrors, seize, what sorrow overwhelm you, when your crimes should be proclaimed before the assembled world of Angels and Men; yourselves be forever banished the joys of Heaven, and consigned over to unceasing and inconceivable misery, doomed to endure the anguish of those flames which never will be quenched; and the gnawings of that worm which will never die!
If, unhappily, your hearts are still hardened by vice, and bent on evil, awake from your sinful lethargy! No longer let Satan hold you in chains! Return to a sense of your duty! Weep for your sins! Have a regard for your own happiness, and the felicity of others! Cast yourselves into the arms of Divine Mercy! With hearts of unfeigned penitence, supplicate forgiveness, through faith, in the atonement of the Divine Redeemer! Let your future conduct be worthy of Men and Christians! And be thankful to the Almighty that your impious attempts have not succeeded.
I shall only add, that, if such shall be your conduct, peace may yet dwell within your souls! You may escape the punishment you deserve, and be restored to the favor of Heaven!
