New-York, Nov. 12.
Saturday arrived the Ship Sally, Captain Greenaway, in 51 days from Bristol. An English paper of the 24th September, received by this ship, mentions that there had been a hot press in London, and that 1500 seamen had been taken in one day.
A letter of the 21st of September from a gentleman in Bristol to his friend in this city, says, "By the public prints this day from London, war seems not far off. Private accounts mention the Prussian army entering Holland, in three division, and taking possession of several cities."
Yesterday failed the ship Grace, captain Armer, for Amsterdam. In her went passengers, the Chevalier John Paul Jones, and Mr. Jarvis, contractor for supplying the United States with copper coin.
Last Friday failed his Britannic Majesty's Packet Halifax, Captain Boulderson, in which went passengers, F. P. Van Berkel, Esq., son of his Excellency Myneer Van Berkel, Ambassador from their Highnesses the States General of Holland.
Mr. Henry Waddington, Merchant of this city. And
Mr. Travers, Merchant, of Manchester, in Lancashire.
At a joint meeting of the legislature of New-Jersey, his Excellency William Livingston, Esq., was re-appointed Governor, for the ensuing year; and Abraham Clark, Jonathan Elmer, and William Paterson, Esqrs. members of Congress.
At an election held last Tuesday, at the Statehouse, in the city of Philadelphia, for representatives in the ensuing Convention, the following gentlemen were chosen by a very great majority, viz. Thomas McKean, James Wilson, Benjamin Rush, Hilary Baker, and George Latimer. These gentlemen, previous to their election, were waited upon by a committee from the town-meeting, to demand, categorically, "whether they would support and adopt the proposed plan of government in all its parts, without alteration or amendment." To this the several gentlemen made the most explicit declaration, that they would.
The hon. Legislature of Virginia, have passed a resolve for calling a Convention to decide on the new Constitution.
Extract of a letter from New Haven, Oct. 31.

Yesterday Erastus Wolcott, Jonathan Sturges and James Hillhouse, Esquires, resigned their seats in Congress, and this morning, the house being led to a choice of delegates in their stead, Jeremiah Wadsworth, John Chester, and Benjamin Huntington, Esqrs. were elected.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Georgia, to his friend in this city, dated the 18th of October.
"The Savannah and Augusta Gazettes will give you the story of the Indian war. What is precisely the state of facts, it is difficult from the present information to determine. The secret, dark, and bloody attack of Indians is commonly so colored by the fright it occasions, that it is difficult to know the truth even from the persons who were present. Their accounts will be so different, that within a few days they circulate, as so many separate and distinct attacks. The four or five which you see mentioned in September, all originate from the killing and scalping the boy and girl on the 17th ult. in the county of Washington.
"The first question is, what was the cause that for them in motion at this time? I find it is very industriously circulated by those who wish to give a bad complexion to every thing that concerns our government, that it originates from the cruel and abusive policy of the state towards them. I have too much confidence in your candor and good sense, to believe you capable of harbouring such public slander without enquiring into the information. If you will give yourself the trouble of examining the different laws and regulations of this state on those subjects, you will find them in general dictated by a very just, and liberal policy towards them, and that measures have invariably been pursued to prevent, as far as possible, all encroachments on the Indian rights. I wish there might not be greater grounds of charge against the United States in their treatment of the Indians north-west of the Ohio.
"The half-breed M c Gillivray, the natural son of a former inhabitant of this state, by an Indian woman, has been attempting, for this year past, to instigate the Upper Creeks to lay claim to part of three of the frontier counties of this state, which are two or three hundred miles distant from their towns, and never were their hunting grounds. These lands were purchased, principally, and a great part of them granted out by Governor Wright, previous to the late war. This was acknowledged, and completed, as a condition of the peace made with them at the close of the war, in which they had commonly borne arms against the state. The Indians appeared in general well satisfied; I have myself seen them at treaties, in large
collections of the principal men of their nation, at different times for two years afterwards, mark out the established boundary line of our frontier counties, which they appeared in general to acknowledge as the boundary between us and them, and I never heard or knew of any objection to it during that time. M c Gillivray has certainly been using his utmost endeavours, for some time past, to excite an uneasiness among them. I have reason to believe he is connected with some individuals within these states, and that if he can succeed in pushing our inhabitants back to the River Ogechee, as he says, which will leave our state to be in breadth but about thirty miles, he has already secured to himself the Indians claim, and thus a tract of country which is now the property and support of not less than a thousand families, will belong solely to himself and his associates; my opinion of him is, that his designs are wicked and unwarrantable, and that the peace and happiness of the Indians is not at all the object.
"The Indians have appeared in general to be very indifferent to his measures, probably some small scalping parties may have come under his influence. I am not certain that our present disturbances arise from any other cause, than that which has been so long known, and so often deplored in every part of America, the impossibility of controlling the crimes and passions of Indians, or of the rude and unmanageable inhabitants of a frontier. The party that killed the young man in Green county in the month of May, appear to have done it for the sake of stealing the Negro who was with him, and that they might escape without being pursued. The neighbours and relations of the young man pursuing the track of the villains, in the height of their rage, unfortunately fell upon a hunting party of Indians who were not concerned in the mischief, and slaughtered a great part of them. This may have been the sole cause of all that has yet happened.
"Revenge, the strong passion of savage nature, is now so much enkindled, that large parties are in motion on both sides. I am not without my fears that the lower towns of the Indians have by this time been attacked and very probably destroyed, which must inevitably bring on a very general Indian war.
"How to prevent such mischief, is a question in which humanity is greatly interested. Mere laws and punishments, in their ordinary administration in civil society, prove entirely ineffectual to the control of such mad, and lawless subjects. Let it be tried in every form, and I scarcely think there are any proper measures of that sort which we have not tried, even to severe corporal punishment, it will be found on trial, that a constant military force, and that only can ever keep peace on the frontiers. These disturbances are commonly brought on by a few individuals, a small well appointed guard would be entirely sufficient to over-awe them on both sides. This measure has long been in contemplation, and at this time I think the peace, policy and reputation of the State, render it indispensably necessary."
On SUNDAY next the 18th inst. a CHARITY SERMON will be preached, and a collection made in the forenoon, at St. George's Chapel, for the benefit of the CHARITY SCHOOL, in this city. And on SUNDAY, the 25th, another will be preached, at St. Paul's Chapel, for the same purpose. An ANTHEM adapted to the occasion, will be sung by the Scholars.
The School at present, consists of eighty-six Scholars, viz. fifty-six Boys and Thirty Girls. The Children are instructed in the principles of the Christian Religion and in Psalmody; they constantly attend Divine Service at Church on week days, as well as on Sundays, and the greatest attention is paid to their Morals.
The Boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and merchants accounts; the Girls are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and needle-work. They are all annually clothed, supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. The School is regularly visited the first Monday in every month, and the Children carefully examined by a Committee of the Corporation of Trinity Church. When any of the Scholars are of a proper age for dismissal, and duly qualified, they are sent to suitable trades or services, and others taken into their places.
This excellent Institution is earnestly recommended to the patronage of the humane and benevolent. Orphans, and the Children of indigent persons are hereby snatched from ignorance and vice, preserved from the influence of bad examples, and are qualified to be useful members of society. The support of this truly benevolent Society, is derived from voluntary Donations, and Collections at those Sermons, which are annually preached for the purpose. These circumstances, 'tis hoped, will interest every generous and feeling heart in its behalf, and stimulate the benevolence of its friends to contribute for its support.
From Michaelmas, 1786, to Michaelmas 1787, fourteen Boys, and nine Girls have
been regularly discharged. Three Boys for misbehaviour, have been expelled the School, and two deserted. But others being taken in their places, the School is constantly kept full.
N. B. Should the weather prove unfavorable, the SERMON will be postponed until the Sunday following.
THE FEDERALIST. No. V.
To the People of the State of New-York.
QUEEN ANN in her letter of the 1st July 1706 to the Scotch Parliament, makes some observations on the importance of the Union then forming between England, and Scotland, which merit our attention. I shall present the Public with one or two extracts from it. "An entire and perfect Union will be the solid foundation of lasting peace: It will secure your religion, liberty, and property, remove the animosities amongst yourselves, and the jealousies and differences betwixt our two kingdoms. It must encrease your strength, riches, and trade: and by this Union the whole island, being joined in affection and free from all apprehensions of different interest, will be enabled to resist all its enemies." "We most earnestly recommend to you calmness and unanimity in this great and weighty affair, that the Union may be brought to a happy conclusion, being the only effectual way to secure our present and future happiness; and disappoint the designs of our and your enemies, who will doubtless, on this occasion, use their utmost endeavours to prevent or delay this Union."
It was remarked in the preceding Paper, that weakness and divisions at home, would invite dangers from abroad, and that nothing would tend more to secure us from them than Union, strength and good Government within ourselves. This subject is copious and cannot easily be exhausted.
The history of Great Britain is the one with which we are in general the best acquainted, and it gives us many useful lessons. We may profit by their experience, without paying the price which it cost them. Altho' it seems obvious to common sense, that the people of such an island, should be but one nation, yet we find that they were for ages divided into three, and that those three were almost constantly embroiled in quarrels and wars with one another. Notwithstanding their true interest, with respect to the continental nations was really the same, yet by the arts and policy and practices of those nations, their mutual jealousies were perpetually kept enflamed, and for a long series of years they were far more inconvenient and troublesome, than they were useful and assisting to each other.
Should the People of America divide themselves into three or four nations, would not the same thing happen? would not similar jealousies arise; and be in like manner cherished? Instead of their being "joined in affection, and free from all apprehension of different interests" envy and jealousy would soon extinguish confidence and affection, and the partial interests of each confederacy, instead of the general interests of all America, would be the only objects of their policy and pursuits. Hence like most other bordering nations, they would always be either involved in disputes and war, or live in the constant apprehension of them.
The most sanguine advocates for three or four confederacies, cannot reasonably suppose that they would long remain exactly on an equal footing in point of strength, even if it was possible to form them so at first—but admitting that to be practicable, yet what human contrivance can secure the continuance of such equality. Independent of those local circumstances which tend to beget and encrease power in one part, and to impede its progress in another, we must advert to the effects of that superior policy and good management which would probably distinguish the Government of one above the rest, and by which their relative equality in strength and consideration, would be destroyed. For it cannot be presumed that the same degree of sound policy, prudence, and foresight, would uniformly be observed by each of these confederacies, for a long succession of years.
Whenever, and from whatever causes, it might happen; and happen it would, that any one of these nations or confederacies should rise on the scale of political importance much above the degree of their neighbours, that moment would those neighbours behold her with envy and fear: Both those passions would lead them to countenance, if not to promote, whatever might promise to diminish her importance; and would also restrain them from measures calculated to advance, or even to secure her prosperity. Much time would not be necessary to enable her to discern these unfriendly dispositions—She would soon begin, not only to lose confidence in her neighbours, but also to feel a disposition equally unfavorable to them: Distrust naturally creates distrust, and by nothing is good will and kind conduct more speedily changed, than by invidious jealousies and uncandid imputations, whether expressed or implied.
The North is generally the region of strength, and many local circumstances render it probable, that the most Northern of the proposed Confederacies would, at a period not very distant, be unquestionably more formidable than any of the others. No sooner would this become evident, than the Northern Hive would excite the same ideas and sensations in the more Southern parts of America, which it formerly did in the Southern parts of Europe: Nor does it appear to be a rash conjecture, that its young swarms might often be tempted to gather honey in the more blooming fields and milder air of their luxurious and more delicate neighbours.
They who well consider the history of similar divisions and Confederacies, will find abundant reason to apprehend, that those in contemplation would in no other sense be neighbours, than as they would be borderers; that they would neither love nor trust one another, but on the contrary would be a prey to discord, jealousy and mutual injuries; in short that they would place us exactly in the situations which some nations doubtless wish to see us, viz. formidable only to each other.
From these considerations it appears that those Gentlemen are greatly mistaken, who suppose that alliances offensive and defensive might be formed between these confederacies, and would produce that combination and union of wills, of arms, and of resources, which would be necessary to put and keep them in a formidable state of defence against foreign enemies.
When did the independent states into which Britain and Spain were formerly divided, combine in such alliances, or unite their forces against a foreign enemy? The proposed confederacies will be distinct nations. Each of them would have its commerce with foreigners to regulate by distinct treaties; and as their production and commodities are different, and proper for different markets, so would those treaties be essentially different. Different commercial concerns must create different interests, and of course different degrees of political attachment to, and connection with different foreign nations. Hence it might and probably would happen that the foreign nations with whom the Southern confederacy might be at war, would be the one, with whom the Northern confederacy would be the most desirous of preserving peace and friendship. An alliance so contrary to their immediate interest would not therefore be easy to form, nor if formed, would it be observed and fulfilled with perfect good faith.
Nay it is far more probable that in America, as in Europe, neighbouring nations, acting under the impulse of opposite interest, and unfriendly passions, would frequently be found taking different sides. Considering our distance from Europe, it would be more natural for these confederacies to apprehend danger from one another, than from distant nations, and therefore that each of them should be more desirous to guard against the others, by the aid of foreign alliances, than to guard against foreign dangers by alliances between themselves. And here let us not forget how much more easy it is to receive foreign fleets into our ports, and foreign armies into our country, than it is to persuade or compel them to depart—How many conquests did the Romans and others make in the characters of allies, and what innovations did they under the same character introduce into the Governments of those whom they pretended to protect.
Let candid men judge then whether the division of America into any given number of independent sovereignties would tend to secure us against the hostilities and improper interference of foreign nations.

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 melting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- -ence, 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 being 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, potash kettles and coolers, whaling- -kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cakes, cast bars for su- -gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slit- -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 stoves gracefully ornamented with carvings, ship's caboucs 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, fash-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 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. Oct. 15.

PUBLIC notice is hereby given, pursuant to an act of the Governor, Council and General As- -sembly of the late Colony of New-York, passed the 19th day of March, 1774, entitled, "An act for the more effectual regl'y of Mortgages, and for se- -curing the purchasers of mortgaged estates."

NATHANIEL SMITH, Perfumer, from London, At the New-York Hair-Powder and Perfume Manu- -factory, the Role, No. 187, Queen-Street, RETURNS his sincere thanks to his numerous cus- -tomers who have so liberally encouraged him, and he assures them he is determined to persevere in selling every article as usual in the Perfumery line of the first quality, and on as low terms as it is possible to afford them.
SMITH begs leave to recommend to ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin. It is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, be- -ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its lan- -cence, for cleaning and clearing the skin from hard pimples, scurf for tan, rendering it quite soft, deli- -cate and fair, half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies can- -not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of.
LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's super- -fine English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash- -Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Con- -cave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds.
