New-York, Nov. 15.
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated 18th September, 1787.
Some news-papers here make mention of tumults in Philadelphia; that General Washington should have fled, Doctor Franklin been taken in custody, and the fermentation be very great.—You will oblige us by letting us know the truth of this business.
N. B. The authenticity of the above letter cannot be called in question.
Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, Livingston's Distillery on Long-Island, opposite the city, took fire, and was entirely consumed, together with the dwelling-house &c. From the quantity of Molasses, Rum, and other inflammable matter, contained in these buildings, the fire burnt out with such irresistible violence, that all attempts to save them, were in vain.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant in Amsterdam, to his friend in this City, dated Amsterdam, September 18, 1787.
The confederation reigning throughout this City, and our present alarming situation, prevent me from giving you so circumstantial an account as I should wish to do. Certainly you never thought that our contests would ever have been so serious. In a few days our fate will be decided. A formidable army of 30,000 Prussian troops, provided with a complete park of artillery, spreading a terrible panic through the whole country, is now within our territories, and is rapidly advancing towards this City. On receiving this dreadful news, our city gates were shut and all the bridges drawn up, so that it is at present impossible for any person to leave the place or to enter it. God knows what will become of us; in his power alone will it be to avert the impending calamities. How many families, exposed to the utmost danger, would now be glad to repair to America and there enjoy peace and real liberty, were the extreme distance between us not so very discouraging; for in case our Patriots should be compelled to submit, we are determined to leave this, our native country."
By letters from Sicily, via Italy, we have a relation of an extraordinary eruption of Mount Etna; such a one has not happened in the memory of man. A rumbling noise and numberless little shocks of earthquakes preceded this eruption. On the 18th of last month, about three o'clock in the morning, a terrible volume of fire issued from the mountain like a whirlwind, and of such prodigious height, that it seemed as if the mountain was opened, and the column of fire appeared two thirds higher than the summit. An immense cloud of smoke preceded the flame, the blaze of which was so great that people could see to read at 20 miles distance; besides that, a shower of sand, or calcined lava, and stones of an enormous size, were cast to a prodigious height, and fell down again with a most terrible noise. Sulphureous stones, lightnings, and horrible noises, followed this dreadful eruption. The column of fire took its direction towards the Ionic Sea, to the Eastward of the coast of Morea; but, at a certain distance, it shifted towards Africa. We learn that the shower of sand and stones fell on the city and suburbs of Messina and Calabria, and on all the islands and adjacent coasts as far as Malta.
All the ice and snow on the tops of the mountains was melted, and some persons wounded by the stones which fell in the neighbouring countries; the inhabitants suffered from a suffocating smell of sulphur and bitumen, and from the extreme heat of the air; all the produce of the earth, the olives, fruits, and Indian corn, are burnt; in short, for many miles distance, the land resembles the scorched deserts of Lybia.
It is remarkable, that Vesuvius at the same time began to send forth flames, and the lava flows at present along the valley which separates that mountain from Mount Somma.
A letter from a gentleman in Annapolis, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Nov. 1, 1787, says, "I have just time to inform you of an unfortunate affair which happened a few miles from this place. It was a duel between your old acquaintance Mr. William Hill, from Philadelphia, and Mr. George Moore, of the Eastern shore of Maryland; Mr. Moore fired first, without effect, Mr. Hill returned the fire without effect likewise; Mr. Moore fired again, the ball scraped the side of Mr. Hill's face. Mr. Hill then returned the fire, and lodged the contents of his pistol in Mr. Moore's breast, who was immediately carried off the ground. Mr. Hill thought proper to make a precipitate retreat, and has not since been heard of."
The following paragraph is copied from a late Irish paper:
"The following curious attempt to evade justice was practised a few days ago. At the last assizes of Trim, one Kelly, a noted robber, was capitally convicted, and
received sentence to be executed on Wednesday the 22d of August: Previous to being led out, he contrived to cut his blankets into strips of four inches broad, joined the pieces together with woollen thread, and formed a double sling, which passed under each ham, and the ends fastened at his neck with an iron hook to receive the rope; thus accoutred, he proceeded to the place of execution, where he addressed the hangman (who by the by is supposed to have been bribed) told him he forgave him, but requested he would draw him up close to the pully, and when dead let him down gently. The unfortunate wretch, too confident of success, was shortly after launched from the table, but not having allowed for the extension of the blanket by his own weight, after hanging about eight minutes, without appearance of life, the hook fastened in his windpipe, and gave him such exquisite pain, that he suddenly raised his arms, seized the rope, and struggled for a considerable time, till he expired. After being cut down, the whole apparatus was discovered, to the astonishment of the Sheriff and a number of gentlemen present."
From the London Gazette, Sept. 22.
H A G U E, Sept. 18.
On Thursday last the Prussian army, under the command of his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, passed the river at Nimwegen, and advanced from thence in three columns. On their approach the Rhingrave of Salm evacuated Utrecht, after having nailed up 140 pieces of cannon, which he was obliged to leave behind him, and destroyed, as far as he was able, the powder and other stores, retiring with what he could collect of the garrison, in great disorder, towards Amsterdam and Naerden. On Sunday the Prince of Orange's troops entered the towns of Utrecht, Montfort, and the Vaart; and no opposition was made in any part of the province.
Intelligence was received at the Hague, of Gorcum, Dordt, Schoonhoven, and several other of the principal towns of South Holland, having surrendered, without bloodshed, to the Duke of Brunswick. The States of Holland issued orders for breaking and disarming the Free Corps; and late this evening they passed a resolution for restoring his Serene Highness the Stadholder to all his rights and honors, with the command of this garrison; and a deputation is appointed to the Duke of Brunswick, and a letter sent off to invite the Prince of Orange to return to his residence here.
THE FEDERALIST, No. VI.
To the People of the State of New-York.
THE three last numbers of this paper have been dedicated to an enumeration of the dangers to which we should be exposed, in a state of disunion, from the arms and arts of foreign nations. I shall now proceed to delineate dangers of a different, and, perhaps, still more alarming kind; those which will in all probability flow from dissensions between the States themselves, and from domestic factions and convulsions. These have been already in some instances slightly anticipated; but they deserve a more particular and more full investigation.
A man must be far gone in Utopian speculations who can seriously doubt, that if these States should either be wholly disunited, or only united in partial confederacies, the subdivisions into which they might be thrown would have frequent and violent contests with each other. To presume a want of motives for such contests, as an argument against their existence, would be to forget that men are ambitious, vindictive and rapacious. To look for a continuation of harmony between a number of independent, unconnected sovereignties, situated in the same neighbourhood, would be to disregard the uniform course of human events, and to set at defiance the accumulated experience of ages.
The causes of hostility among nations are innumerable. There are some which have a general and almost constant operation upon the collective bodies of society: Of this description are the love of power or the desire of pre-eminence and dominion—the jealousy of power, or the desire of equality and safety. There others which have a more circumscribed, though an equally operative influence, within their spheres: Such are the rivalships and competitions of commerce between commercial nations. And there are others, not less numerous than either of the former, which take their origin entirely in private passions; in the attachments, enmities, interests, hopes and fears of leading individuals in the communities of which they are members. Men of this class, whether the favorites of a King or of a people, have in too many instances abused the confidence they possessed; and assuming the pretext of some public motive, have not scrupled to sacrifice the national tranquillity to personal advantage, or personal gratification.
The celebrated Pericles, in compliance with the resentments of a prostitute [a], at the expence of much of the blood and
treasure of his countrymen, attacked, vanquished and destroyed, the city of the Samnians. The same man, stimulated by private pique against the Megarenfians [b], another nation of Greece, or to avoid a prosecution with which he was threatened as an accomplice in a supposed theft of the statuary Phidias [c]; or to get rid of the accusations prepared to be brought against him for dissipating the funds of the state in the purchase of popularity [d]; or from a combination of all these causes, was the primitive author of that famous and fatal war, distinguished in the Grecian annals by the name of the Peloponnesian war; which, after various vicissitudes, intermissions and renewals, terminated in the ruin of the Athenian commonwealth.
The ambitious Cardinal, who was Prime Minister to Henry VIIIth, permitting his vanity to aspire to the Triple-Crown [e], entertained hopes of succeeding in the acquisition of that splendid prize by the influence of the Emperor Charles Vth. To secure the favor and interest of this enterprising and powerful Monarch, he precipitated England into a war with France, contrary to the plainest dictates of policy, and at the hazard of the safety and independence, as well of the kingdom over which he presided by his councils, as of Europe in general—For if there ever was a Sovereign who bid fair to realise the project of universal monarchy, it was the Emperor Charles Vth, of whose intrigues Wolsey was at once the instrument and the dupe.
The influence which the bigotry of one female [f], the petulancies of another [g], and the cabals of a third [h], had in the contemporary policy, ferment and pacifications of a considerable part of Europe, are topics that have been too often dwelt upon not to be generally known.
To multiply examples of the agency of personal considerations in the production of great national events, either foreign or domestic, according to their direction would be an unnecessary waste of time. Those who have but a superficial acquaintance with the sources from which they are to be drawn will themselves recollect a variety of instances; and those who have a tolerable knowledge of human nature will not stand in need of such lights, to form their opinion either of the reality or extent of that agency. Perhaps however a reference, ending to illustrate the general principle, may with propriety be made to a case which has lately happened among ourselves. If SHAYS had not been a desperate debtor, it is much to be doubted whether Massachusetts would have been plunged into a civil war.
But notwithstanding the concurring testimony of experience, in this particular, there are still to be found visionary, or designing men, who stand ready to advocate the paradox of perpetual peace between the States, though dismembered and alienated from each other. The genius of republics (say they) is pacific; the spirit of commerce has a tendency to soften the manners of men and to extinguish those inflammable humors which have so often kindled into wars. Commercial republics, like ours, will never be disposed to waste themselves in ruinous contentions with each other. They will be governed by mutual interest, and will cultivate a spirit of mutual amity and concord.
Is it not (we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit? If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it? Has it not, on the contrary, invariably been found, that momentary passions and immediate interests have a more active and imperious control over human conduct, than general or remote considerations of policy, utility or justice? Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies? Are not the former administered by men as well as the latter? Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships and desires of unjust acquisitions, that affect nations as well as kings? Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities? Is it not well known that their determinations are often governed by a few individuals, in whom they place confidence, and are of course liable to be tinctured by the passions and views of those individuals? Has commerce hitherto done any thing more than change the objects of war? Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory? Have there not been as many wars founded upon commercial motives, since that has become the prevailing system of nations, as were before occasioned by the cupidity of territory or dominion? Has not the spirit of commerce in many instances administered new incentives to the
appetite both for the one and for the other? Let experience, the least fallible guide of human opinions, be appealed to for an answer to these enquiries.
Sparta, Athens, Rome and Carthage were all Republics; two of them, Athens and Carthage, of the commercial kind. Yet were they as often engaged in wars, offensive and defensive, as the neighboring Monarchies of the same times. Sparta was little better than a well regulated camp; and Rome was never sated of carnage and conquest.
Carthage, though a commercial Republic, was the aggressor in the very war that ended in her destruction. Hannibal had carried her arms into the heart of Italy and to the gates of Rome, before Scipio, in turn, gave him an overthrow in the territories of Carthage, and made a conquest of the Commonwealth.
Venice in latter times figured more than once in wars of ambition; 'till becoming an object of terror to the other Italian States, Pope Julius the Second found means to accomplish that formidable league [i] which gave a deadly blow to the power and pride of this haughty Republic.
The provinces of Holland, 'till they were overwhelmed in debts and taxes, took a leading and conspicuous part in the wars of Europe. They had furious contests with England for the dominion of the sea; and were among the most persevering and most implacable of the opponents of Lewis XIV.
In the government of Britain, the representatives of the people compose one branch of the national Legislature. Commerce has been for ages the predominant pursuit of that country. Few nations, nevertheless, have been more frequently engaged in war; and the wars, in which that kingdom has been engaged, have in numerous instances proceeded from the people.
There have been, if I may so express it, almost as many popular as royal wars. The cries of the nation and the importunities of their representatives have, upon various occasions, dragged their Monarchs into war, or continued them in it contrary to their inclinations, and, sometimes, contrary to the real interests of the State. In that memorable struggle for superiority, between the rival Houses of Austria and Bourbon, which so long kept Europe in a flame, it is well known that the antipathies of the English against the French, seconding the ambition, or rather the avarice of a favorite leader, [k] protracted the war beyond the limits marked out by sound policy, and for a considerable time in opposition to the views of the Court.
The wars of these two last mentioned nations have in a great measure grown out of commercial considerations—The desire of supplanting and the fear of being supplanted, either in particular branches of traffic or in the general advantages of trade and navigation.
From this summary of what has taken place in other countries, whose situations have borne the nearest resemblance to our own, what reason can we have to confide in those reveries, which would seduce us into an expectation of peace and cordiality between the members of the present confederacy, in a state of separation? Have we not already seen enough of the fallacy and extravagance of those idle theories which have amused us with promises of an exemption from the imperfections, weaknesses and evils incident to society in every shape? Is it not time to awake from the deceitful dream of a golden age, and to adopt as a practical maxim for the direction of our political conduct, that we, as well as the other inhabitants of the globe, are yet remote from the happy empire of perfect wisdom and perfect virtue?
Let the point of extreme depression to which our national dignity and credit have sunk—let the inconveniences felt every where from a lax and ill administration of government—let the revolt of a part of the State of North Carolina—the late menacing disturbances in Pennsylvania, and the actual insurrections and rebellions in Massachusetts declare—!
So far is the general sense of mankind from corresponding with the tenets of those, who endeavor to lull asleep our apprehensions of discord and hostility between the States, in the event of disunion, that it has from long observation of the progress of society become a sort of axiom in politics, that vicinity, or nearness of situation, constitutes nations natural enemies. An intelligent writer expresses himself on this subject to this effect: "NEIGHBOURING NATIONS (says he) are naturally ENEMIES of each other, unless their common weakness forces them to league in a CONFEDERATE REPUBLIC, and their constitution prevents the differences that neighbourhood occasions, extinguishing that secret jealousy, which disposes all States to a grandiose themselves at the expence of their [l] neigh-

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the fag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland. N.B. It should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. 6t New-York, Nov. 8.

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

THOMAS BURLING CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beck- man-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends at the public, and would with to inform them that he has opened a Ware Room of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more ex- tensive plan than heretofore; and for the conveni- ence of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to ob- serve the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public ven- dures. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a compe- tious character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick have been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf
