Messrs. LOUDON,
IN your Packet of the 23d of this month, you inform the public from under the Philadelphia head, that, "We hear from Virginia, that on the arrival of Mr. Mason (one of their delegates in Convention) at Alexandria, he was waited on by the Mayor and Corporation of that town, who told him, they were not come to return him their thanks for his conduct in refusing to sign the Federal Constitution; but to express their abhorrence of it, and to advise him to withdraw from that town within an hour, for they could not answer for his personal safety, from an enraged populace, should he exceed that time." It is but fair Messrs. Loudon, that you disabuse the public by acquainting them you are now informed, as the writer of this does inform you, that the above bear-say is not true. The laws of the country, the decency of the people of Alexandria, and the very great respectability of Mr. Mason forbidding such a foolish outrage to have been committed. But the fabricators of this falsehood are evidently among the number of those who are for cramping down the New Constitution by force, fraud and falsehood . Vainly imagining that the good sense and spirit of the people will be imposed upon by such wicked means. These persons will do well to recollect, that they are not doing much honor to the New Constitution by practices like these. It is the more incumbent on you Messrs. Loudon to rectify this abuse, because your yesterday's publication of the bear-say from Philadelphia , has been the cause of your brother Printer (in his Independent Journal of this day) making the same falsehood the bear-say of New-York from Virginia —he ought to have stated, that New-York heard it not from Virginia , but from Philadelphia .
A LOVER OF TRUTH.
October 24, 1787.
Messrs. PRINTERS,
I FIND in your paper of yesterday, a performance under the signature of Paulus ; the intention of which, is to ridicule and turn into contempt the sermon preached at the ordination lately held in St. Paul's Church. Thrice, within the course of a few weeks, has a newspaper been made the vehicle to convey several severe, and, I think, undeserved strictures upon the Episcopal Church and her Ministers. No answer to these illiberal attacks, so far as I know, has hitherto been returned; and the people begin to construe our silence into pusillanimity and want of confidence in a cause, which we deem to be the cause of truth. We wish to live in peace with all men—We desire not to interfere at all with our brethren of other denominations in the discipline and government of their respective religious societies—We are ambitious to be in faith , as well as in name , 'Friends to equal liberty.' But the accused may certainly, without censure, answer for themselves.
The captious never want occasions of quarrel—to the jealous, "trifles light as air, are confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ." If the Bishops of our Church receive the appellation of Right Reverend ; this it seems, is a "claim of superiority above the Clergy of other Churches." If we use the terms, " The Corporation for the relief of Clergymens Widows and Children ," we mean "invidiously, arrogantly and offensively to distinguish our own Clergy from the Gospel Ministers of other Protestant Churches." If we preach upon our own principles, the necessity of Episcopal Ordination; we mean to "annihilate all other denominations." A new mode of impeachment indeed, from what is not said to bring so many grievous accusations.
As to the sermon in question, so far as I recollect, the Reverend Preacher confined the terms " Sacrilege, impiety and blasphemy " to those who presume to officiate as Ministers of the Gospel, without any external mode of designation to that sacred employment. It is very well known, that Episcopalians consider no ordinations as valid, but those which are made by Bishops . If, upon full and candid inquiry, Presbyterians think that Presbyters are invested with the same right, we will not hesitate to declare, we believe they are wrong; but at the same time, find ourselves little inclined to ridicule and reproach those from whom we differ in opinion. We rather hope and pray, that God will bless their ministrations to the good of those immortal souls who are committed to their pastoral care.
The buffoonery of the would be witty Paulus , about "Saint Patrick and the serpent," is beneath the notice of any man of a liberal mind. The story of the serpent was certainly too long; and the sermon would have been better, had one or two expressions been omitted. But is not that a base spirit, which can publicly deride a minister of religion for dropping, in a long discourse, half a dozen words offensive to a very refined and delicate ear? I suspect that any person possessed of a good stock of malignant curiosity, and who could find pleasure in the useless employment, might pick out some few coarse expressions from almost every extemporaneous prayer or sermon made in any Presbyterian meeting-house in the State of New-York. But shame and reproach be the portion of that man, who puts not the most favorable construction upon every well-intended endeavour of his neighbour; who is better pleased to select faults than beauties; who goes forth to gather weeds, and neglect flowers!
The constitution of our civil government very wisely places every religious society exactly upon a level. What necessity for jealous disputation, when it is not possible for one, though ever so desirous, to encroach upon the privileges of another? In an Episcopal Church, the Bishop will ever be deemed a Clergyman of a superior order; and where is the harm of this, if he is necessarily confined, in the exercise of his power, to the people of his own church? Our mode of Ecclesiastical Government is certainly more favorable to the aspiring views of any individual among the Clergy; and I am afraid that some persons clamour against the superior power of our Bishops, merely because they themselves cannot rise to the same superiority; but must always admit others to an equal participation in every act of ecclesiastical authority. Their mode of church-discipline will not admit of subordinate degrees of Clergymen; but they ought to console themselves with this very just reflection, " The way to true honor is humility ."
I shall conclude with an old saying, which every man who engages in disputation, ought constantly to have before him, 'Veniam petimus, damusque vicissim.'
I am your obedient friend and servant, A S T Y A N A X.
The FEDERALIST, No. 1.
To the People of the State of New-York.
AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficacy of the subsisting Federal Government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences, nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire, in many respects, the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked, that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend, for their political constitutions, on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis, at which we are arrived, may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act, may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind.
This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those of patriotism to heighten the solicitude, which all considerate and good men must feel for the event. Happy will it be if our choice should be decided by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished, than seriously to be expected. The plan offered to our deliberations, affects too many particular interests, innovates upon too many local institutions, not to involve in its discussion a variety of objects foreign to its merits, and of views, passions and prejudices little favorable to the discovery of truth.
Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new constitution will have to encounter, may readily be distinguished the obvious interest of a certain class of men in every State to resist all changes which may hazard a diminution of the power, emolument and consequence of the offices they hold under the State-establishments—and the perverted ambition of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandize themselves by the confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer prospects of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial confederacies, than from its union under one government.
It is not, however, my design to dwell upon observations of this nature. I am well aware that it would be disingenuous to resolve indiscriminately the opposition of any set of men (merely because their situations might subject them to suspicion) into interested or ambitious views. Candour will oblige us to admit, that even such men may be actuated by upright intentions; and it cannot be doubted, that much of the opposition which has made its appearance, or may hereafter make its appearance, will spring from sources, blameless at least, if not respectable, the honest errors of minds led astray, by preconceived jealousies and fears. So numerous indeed and so powerful are the causes, which serve to give a false bias to the judgment, that we upon many occasions, see wise and good men on the wrong as well as on the right side of questions, of the first magnitude to society. This circumstance, if duly attended to, would furnish a lesson of moderation to those, who are ever so much persuaded of their being in the right, in any controversy. And a further reason for caution, in this respect, might be drawn from the reflection, that we are not always sure, that those who advocate the truth are influenced by purer principles than their antagonists. Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives, not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as upon those who oppose the right side of a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more illjudged than that intolerant spirit, which has, at all times, characterised political parties. For, in politics as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.
And yet however just these sentiments will be allowed to be, we have already sufficient indications, that it will happen in this as in all former cases of great national discussion. A torrent of angry and malignant passions will be let loose. To judge from the conduct of the opposite parties, we shall be led to conclude, that they will mutually hope to evince the justness of their opinions, and to increase the number of their converts by the loudness of their declamations, and by the bitterness of their invectives. An enlightened zeal for the energy and efficiency of government will be stigmatized, as the offspring of a temper fond of despotic power and hostile to the principles of liberty. An overzealous jealousy of danger to the rights of the people, which is more commonly the fault of the head than of the heart, will be represented as mere pretence and artifice; the bait for popularity at the expence of public good. It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of violent love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is too apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten, that the vigour of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people, than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us, that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism, than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics the greatest number have begun their career, by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing Demagogues and ending Tyrants.
In the course of the preceding observations I have had an eye, my fellow citizens, to putting you upon your guard against all attempts, from whatever quarter, to influence your decision in a matter of the utmost moment to your welfare by
any impressions other than those which may result from the evidence of truth. You will, no doubt, at the same time, have collected from the general scope of them, that they proceed from a source not unfriendly to the new constitution. Yes, my countrymen, I own to you, that, after having given it an attentive consideration, I am clearly of opinion, it is your interest to adopt it. I am convinced, that this is the safest course for your liberty, your dignity, and your happiness. I affect no reserves, which I do not feel. I will not amuse you with an appearance of deliberation, when I have decided. I frankly acknowledge to you my convictions, and I will freely lay before you the reasons on which they are founded. The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity. I shall not however multiply professions on this head. My motives must remain in the depository of my own breast: My arguments will be open to all, and may be judged of by all. They shall at least be offered in a spirit, which will not disgrace the cause of truth.
I propose in a series of papers to discuss the following interesting particulars—the utility of the UNION to your political prosperity—the insufficiency of the present confederation to preserve that union—the necessity of a government at least equally energetic with the one proposed to the attainment of this object—the conformity of the proposed constitution to the true principles of republican government—its analogy to your own State constitution—and lastly, the additional security, which its adoption will afford to the preservation of that species of government, to liberty and to property.
In the progress of this discussion I shall endeavour to give a satisfactory answer to all the objections which shall have made their appearance that may seem to have any claim to your attention.
It may perhaps be thought superfluous to offer arguments to prove the utility of the UNION, a point, no doubt, deeply engraved on the hearts of the great body of the people in every State, and one, which it may be imagined has no adversaries. But the fact is, that we already hear it whispered in the private circles of those who oppose the new constitution, that the Thirteen States are of too great extent for any general system, and that we must of necessity resort to separate confederacies of distinct portions of the whole. This doctrine will, in all probability, be gradually propagated, till it has votaries enough to countenance an open avowal of it. For nothing can be more evident, to those who are able to take an enlarged view of the subject, than the alternative of an adoption of the new constitution, or a dismemberment of the union. It will therefore be of use to begin by examining the advantages of that union, the certain evils and the probable dangers, to which every State will be exposed from its dissolution. This shall accordingly constitute the subject of my next address.
PUBLIUS.
* The same idea, tracing the arguments to their consequences, is held out in several of the late publications against the new constitution.

All the volcanos in Sicily are now in eruption:—Strombolo and Lampari vomit vast torrents of lava. Mount Etna has opened another crater near to that of 1780: the lava at first seemed to direct its course towards Catania and Paterno, and at this moment it threatens the city of Randazzo with destruction. The column of fire which issues from the crater is so considerable, that we distinctly see it from this place which is more than 40 leagues distant.

Extract of a letter from the Hague, Aug. 29.
"The States General and the States of Holland, who had been divided for some days past, have at length commenced again a friendly correspondence, on the subject of putting an immediate stop to the troubles which begin to be amazingly felt in every corner of the States General. The Marquis de Verac is going home, and, it is said, the Count de Mallesbois speedily follows. The States of Holland continue violently to oppose the mandates of Prussia. The other party as violently oppose the interference of France, so that it is probable they must settle their own differences. A few moderate men are coming forward, among whom is the Count Hecke, who are expected to have weight with the leading men on both sides, and from whence we look for some good at least."
A very serious quarrel, it is said, is likely to take place between the Courts of Spain and Portugal, unless soon accommodated to the satisfaction of the latter. It seems that dollars to an immense amount have been for some time past brought into Portugal by permission of the Spanish government, when all of a sudden an edict appeared forbidding any farther commerce of specie. At the time this edict was published, there were vast sums, to the amount of some millions of dollars coming to Lisbon, through the territories of his Catholic Majesty, which were seized upon as contraband, though the property of the Portuguese merchants. The Court of Portugal has made a positive demand of that of Madrid, of the restitution of the dollars.
A squadron of Portuguese men of war will shortly appear in the Tagus, and it is said her Faithful Majesty is determined to make reprisals to the amount of the sums that have been seized; alleging that the Court of Madrid have no just reason to issue such an unexpected edict, when it is considered that there has been more specie imported into Cadiz this year, than was ever known in any preceeding one.
September 3. On the night between the 14th and 15th ult. the body guards at Paris, carried to each member of the Parliament a letter of exile, of which the following is a copy:
"Sir, I fend you this letter to order you to leave this day my good city of Paris, to betake yourself to that of Troyes; forbidding you to go out of your house before your departure, under penalty of disobedience. On which I pray God, that he have you in his holy guard."
Written at Paris this 15th of August 1787.
(Signed) L O U I S.
And below, Le Baron de Breuil.
On the 17th, Monsieur (the King's Brother) repaired to the Chamber of Accounts, and there caused to be registered, the edict of the stamps, and the declaration of the territorial subsidy (land tax)
When the Prince retired, the Chamber, that remained sitting, annulled the register, and agreed to supplicate the King to recall the Parliament, and to convoke the States-general.
On the same day, the Count d'Artois, went to the Court of Aides, to do what Monsieur had done at the Chamber of Accounts.
The Court met the following day, and made an arrest, in which they affirm, among other declarations, that "the King has not the right of imposing taxes, that the beds of justice, held in a manner contrary to their institution, are merely the afflicting display of arbitrary power—that a nation which furnishes 600,000,000 livres of revenue should be exempt from all fiscal jurisdictions; and that it was not after five years of peace, and what the government had announced in the positive terms, that they could admit the necessity of fresh imposts."
Extract of a letter from Rotterdam, August 31. "We just now are informed, that the Prince's troops are attacking the city of Utrecht."
"The whole of the Prussian troops will be on the territories of Guelderland within three or four days, and a manifesto will be published by the Duke of Brunswick, declaring, that all such burghers as may be found in arms, or using any resistance against his troops, and falling into their hands, will not be treated as ordinary prisoners of war, but will be immediately hung as rebels."
"The French Ambassador has left the Hague, in order, as some supposed, to avoid the further application of the Patriots for the French assistance, as also not to be in danger of their insults in not having procured them all the fine things that were promised."
"The long reign of that party seems near its exit."
Sept. 5. Some dispatches, said to be of the last importance, were received at Whitehall yesterday evening from the English Minister at Brussels; but the contents are not known.—It is more than probable something may transpire this day of the particulars. We learn, however, that the Count de Murray, the Emperor's Captain General and Commander in Chief of the Low Countries, had sent back, by the same Courier (who brought the Emperor's instructions) to Vienna, acquainting that the present force in Austrian Flanders, is by no means adequate to the task of carrying his Majesty's orders into execution, considering the spirit of the people, who are more than ever bent on opposition, continue still in arms, and in defiance of the new edict making a military parade.
A variety of reports are again in circulation. On the one hand, it is asserted by the advocates for war in the Low Countries, that the Prince of Orange has formally set down before Utrecht, with an army of his own followers, and the Prussian auxiliaries; while, on the other hand, it is said perhaps, with more appearance of truth, that the States General had sent a special messenger to his Serene Highness the Stadtholder at Nimwegen, advising him, that the French party are giving way; that the States of Holland were returning to their senses; and that it was hoped, from the messages which were passing between the two assemblies, viz. the States General and the States of Holland, both of whom were sitting on the 24th ult. at the Hague, that a plan of accommodation is seriously agitating, and that without the mediation of any foreign power whatever.—The Equestrian Order of Nobles, who have proved firm on a late occasion, are said to be one principal means of such happy events as are now expected to take place.
A few days ago, the Marquis Ximenes d' Aragon, a Nobleman of Florence, was apprehended, on a warrant of Lord Sydney, at the instance of the Florentine Envoy, and carried to Dover, from whence he was embarked for Calais.
There was something very singular in the circumstances and the behaviour of this gentleman. He left his native country, in order to avoid a marriage, which his relations wished to force upon him, and came without money or friends to London, where he subsisted entirely by the care of the Envoy.
His Excellency, however, took the first opportunity of seizing him, and sending him back.
Sept. 6. The Duke and Dutchess of Gloucester, it is said, mean to return from the Continent early in November next, and preparations are making at Gloucester-house for their reception.
His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury reported to the King the death of Dr. Law, Bishop of Carlisle.
Not a whisper in the Court circles yesterday, of the troubles in Holland or Flanders.
The Court of Directors of the East-India Company yesterday, resolved to appoint Major General William Meadows to be President and Commander in Chief of Bombay and its dependencies, in the room of Rawton Hart Boddam, Esq. whose commission is to cease on the arrival of Major General Meadows.
There was a report on Monday, that dispatches had arrived over land from India, which occasioned some bustle at both ends of the town. The subject of them was said to be, that a French vessel, suspected of carrying on some illicit traffic in the river Hufsey, and refusing to be brought too, in passing the fort at Calcutta, had been fired at out of pique by Lord Cornwallis, and unfortunately sunk; Cornwallis's malice was particularly levelled against the master of this vessel, who was an officer in the French navy last war, and was witness to his Lordship's disgraceful surrender at York town in America.
Extract of a letter from Wexet, August 18.
"Preparations for war are making with all possible expedition.—It is with difficulty that the inhabitants can pass the streets of this city on their ordinary business, on account of the great numbers of cannon and ammunition waggons which obstruct the passages.—Several regiments are already arrived, and others are on their march to this place."
The magazine of provisions at Kalkor is plentifully furnished, and the commissaries continue to purchase oats, hay and straw, at high prices.—The 7th instant, the first detachment of heavy artillery arrived here."
The following is the reply of the Emperor to the speech made by the Deputies from the Low Countries, when they were introduced to him at Vienna on the 15th ult.
"The just displeasure which I feel on all that has passed in my Belgic provinces, is not to be diminished by a mere parade of words; but it must be facts which follow, to prove to me the reality of those sentiments, fidelity and attachment, which you have given me an assurance of on the part of your constituents."

"I have given orders to the Prince de Kauntz to communicate to you in writing, and for the notice of your States, the orders which I have sent to my government, and the execution of which I expect to be effected before entering into any deliberation whatever."
"The speedy and entire accomplishment of these orders are the more necessary, not only to restore all things to proper order, but at the same time to put a stop to the sufferings of circulation and commerce."
"The welfare of my subjects is the sole object of all my proceedings, of which I daily give the most real proofs. That I have not any design to reverse your constitutions, you must be persuaded, by the evidence of calling to your minds, that in the moment when you have been bold enough to merit my indignation, that with all the means in my power I have nevertheless repeated the assurance of preserving you."

PHILADELPHIA, October 24.
Extra of letter from Boston, October 14.
"You federalists in Pennsylvania have but secondary merit—you saw, read and approved the new form of government—we—to our honor be it spoken, were true, staunch, federal men almost before we saw it!—He must be a bold Jonathan here, that will dare to lay a word against it now.—An anti-federalist and a very are held to be one and the same, and curses in plenty are denounced on the heads of both; as the popular breath allows no discrimination.—I must confess, nothing for a long time has so much alarmed me, as the endeavor of certain characters amongst us to insult the understanding of the public, by preventing that freedom of enquiry which truth and honor never dreads, but which tyrants and tyranny could never endure.—The merits of the new constitution out of the question, the conduct of too many here respecting it is strikingly analogous to that of Lord Peter in the tale of a tub—"Look ye, brothers Martin and Jack, if ye do not believe this crust of bread to be as good a shoulder of mutton as ever was sold in Leadenhall market, I pronounce you both a couple of blind, positive, conceited sons of b-----s, and may the devil roast you to all eternity!"
New-York, October 30.
Arrived on Friday night last, his Britannic Majesty's packet Antelope; in which came passenger the Hon. Captain Cochrane, of the British navy. For advices by this packet see the foreign head.
Thursday the 15th of November ensuing, is appointed, as a day of Thanksgiving throughout the State of Connecticut.
"On the 27th ult. Miss Watson, of Gorham, Massachusetts, upwards of forty years of age, who had been affected with a dropsy for twenty-five years, was tapped, and had forty beer quarts of water drawn from her. She bore the operation without the least faintness, and is in a hopeful way of recovery."
The last summer, which was remarkably dry, we are informed, has occasioned the crops of corn, in Virginia, to fall considerably short,—many farmers are under the necessity of purchasing to enable them to support their families;—but the crops of tobacco have proved very favorable.
"America (says the Connecticut Journal) will hardly canonize Ambassador Adams on account of his services, when he experiences the mode of government he has planned out. Having figured a while in the brilliant circle of St. James' he imagines his three branched legislature can produce no other effects than ease and plenty. He should rather have looked into the ditches which serve for graves for multitudes of the human race; under hedges which serve as dreary habitations for the living, into the cottages of the poor and miserable, and examined with how much parsimony the mechanics, the day labourers, cottagers and villagers live in order to support their high pampered Lords, before he writ a book to per-suade America to pursue the same road to glory and greatness, and see the country that gave him birth reduced to the same situation.—I aver that the President, Senate and Representatives planned by the late Convention, are really vested with the powers of King, Lords and Commons , and although the government seems to be elective their stations will be secured as ample as though they were made hereditary.—One great blessing insisted upon by the popular demagogues in favor of adopting the new constitution, is the idea of a more extensive and brisk foreign trade. I am of opinion, however, a gradual decay of trade would rather suit the interests of this country, as it must greatly increase our manufactures—which must increase industry, which must have a powerful influence to reform our morals. It is a fact, too, that by the adoption of the new form, unaltered, this extensive empire (which in half a century will contain double the number of inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland) will be governed by 68 representatives, 27 of which will represent the six northern States, and 41 the seven southern."
"Would it be prudent (says the same writer) to surrender up so much power and property as the new constitution would give to Congress, viz. the proceeds of all taxes, duties and excises, and the whole Western Territory, before they have even informed the public of what is the amount of the public debt, or what the annual expence of the federal government will be."
"It is now almost five years since the peace, and Congress has employed thirteen commissioners at 1500 dollars each, per annum, to settle the public accounts; and we at this instant know no more what the national debt is, than at the first moment of their appointment. The power of taxation being once vested in Congress, our State assemblies will inevitably be annihilated, and all their business may be transacted in town meetings. A large representation will be alone able to preserve liberty, and has ever been found the best barrier against bribery and corruption."
The following intelligence is extracted from the Georgia State Gazette.
"Augusta, September 22. Thursday last was the day on which the attendance of the General Assembly of this State was required by his Honour the Governor's proclamation. Yesterday some Members met, and recommended to the Honorable the Executive Council to proclaim the State to be in alarm ; also to send for absent Members."
"We have it from the most unquestionable authority, that, on the latter part of last week, Lieut. Col. Barber, of Col. Freeman's battalion, went out upon the line up the Appalachians, with a small reconnoitring party of eight, and that, a little above the Big Shoals, they were first discovered by a party of Indians, who had time to divide and lie down on either side of an old trail, and fired on the party as they were going to pass: That Col. Barber was wounded in both hands, his bridle reins shot in two, and his horse wounded; himself was thrown, with three men, who were mortally wounded. In this situation they retreated, without being pursued. Gen. Clarke, upon being informed of this little disaster, ordered some men to be collected, and immediately marched to that quarter; and it is hoped will at least be able to discover the force of the Indians at present on our borders. Col. Barber thinks the party of Indians who attacked him consisted of about 40."
"We are informed from Greene county, that, on Friday the 14th inst. a party of Indians killed a man in Greenborough, in sight of one of the forts; the savages run off with such precipitation that every attempt made to overtake them proved fruitless."
"Arthur Fort, Esq. a Member for Wilkes county, informs us, that Major Ledbetter appeared before him and made oath to the following: On Monday the 17th inst. some Indians came to Buffalo Creek, in the county of Washington, about 12 miles from the Oconee, killed and scalped a lad of about 12 years of age, & shot a girl about 9 years old through the breast and thighs, and took two scalps off her head; they were both at work in the fields, a small distance from the dwelling house. The girl, notwithstanding the wounds she received, recovered her senses some time after, and says that she saw about five or six Indians. They made no attempt on the house."

To the PUBLIC.
HAVING yesterday, late in the afternoon, received information of a report circulating here, that Peter Landais (who was an officer in the squadron I commanded in Europe in the late war, and was in America, broke, and rendered incapable of public service, by a Court Martial—for matters of a date subsequent to, and unconnected with, the charges I made against him in Europe, which are of a nature to call his life in question, and of which the most material proofs have never been published, but are lodged in the office of Foreign Affairs)—did personally insult me in this city, on Friday last, by spitting in my face: I take this method to declare, that the said report is an absolute fallhood—it being impossible that such an insult should have been offered to me, with impunity, under any circumstances whatever.

New-York Air Furnace. PETER T. CURTENIUS, & Co. HAVE repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of cast iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed 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 mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spungy, and often full of cold shuts: The difference, in short, is nearly the same as that between 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 being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded (and will be sold) cheaper than the imported ware, all foreign castings being subject to a duty of six per cent. on importation.
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, Skillets, Griddles, Pot-ash kettles and Coolers, Whaling kettles, Boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, Stoves for sugar-bakers, Mill-cafes, Cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, Rollers and shears for flitting-mills, Hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; Close stoves for workshops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bathstove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, Chimney-backs, Ships caboules of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread, Mill rounds and Gudgeons, Saw-mill cranks, Calcining plates for making pearl ashes, Cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, Fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, Sash weights, Forge-hammers and Anvils, Plow-plates, Half hundreds, Quarters, Fourteen and seven pound weights, Cart, waggon, coach, phaton, chair and fulkey boxes, &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send 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. New-York, October 18, 1787. 43
