CHARGES and PROOFS respecting the Conduct of PETER LANDAIS.
[Continued--from Saturday's paper.]
No. VIII.
Extract of a Letter from Captain Paul Jones, of the American Navy, to Mr. Le Ray de Chaumont*, dated Brest, Nov. 16, 1778.
"I thank you, with all my heart, for your promise of attention to my last, as well as for your assurance that the Indien is not to be returned before the spring. You know that I have remained in Europe on the faith of commanding that ship. I have on that account, and to shew my gratitude to France, lost so much time, and with it such opportunities as I cannot regain. Give me but an assurance that the Indien will be reserved for me, and bestowed on no other person, and I will say I am satisfied. This, I pledge myself, will be no loss to France: America is not ungrateful. The noble-minded Congress know not the little mean distinctions of climate, or place of nativity; nor have they adopted any rule, which can preclude them from encouraging and rewarding the merit of a stranger, by raising him even to the first posts of honor. In the army there are many instances of this. In the navy, young as it is, it gives me particular pleasure to inform you, that Congress have given the command of the best ship in the service to a French Officer, and called the ship the Alceste ."
"Mr. Chaumont was formerly Intendant of the Royal Hospital of Invalids at Paris, and afterwards Superintendent of the expense of the squadron that was put under the flag of America, by his Most Christian Majesty."
NOTE to No. VIII.
On the 9th of May, 1777, Mr. Paul Jones was directed to proceed to France (by the Marine Committee) and to obey the orders of the Secret Committee. Being arrived in Europe, it was the intention of Congress, "that he should be invested with the command of a fine fast-sailing Frigate or larger ship." In pursuance of this plan, the Secret Committee of Congress wrote to the Hon. Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee, Esqrs. Commissioners, &c. at Paris, as follows, viz.
"Philadelphia, 9th May, 1777."
"Honorable Gentlemen,"
"This letter is intended to be delivered to you by John Paul Jones, Esq. an active and brave Commander in our navy, who has already performed signal services in vessels of little force; and, in reward for his zeal, we have directed him, &c." "You will assign him some good house or agent to supply him with every thing necessary to get the ship speedily and well equipped and manned: somebody that will bestir themselves vigorously in the business, and never quit it until it is accomplished." The letter concluded thus:—"You see by this step how much dependence Congress place in your advice, and you must make it a point not to disappoint Capt. Paul Jones's wishes, and our expectations, on this occasion. We are, Honorable Gentlemen, your obedient humble servants, (Signed) Robert Morris, Richard Henry Lee, William Whipple, Philip Livingston."
The ship in question was the Indien , then on the stocks at Amsterdam, belonging to the United States. But this having been discovered to the British Minister by some of Mr. Arthur Lee's papers, of which they had got possession just before Mr. Paul Jones arrived at Paris, and the Treaty of Alliance being on the point to be concluded, he consented to their assigning over the property of that ship to the King of France. Among the political reasons which operated this arrangement, was the great opposition made to the equipment of the Indien , by the British Ambassador in Holland. The command of the Indien was, however, reserved for Mr. Paul Jones, till (subsequent to his campaign of 1779) he had made an arrangement of a plan with the Count de Maurepas, which promised much greater importance to the common cause, and required his immediate return to America. After this, his Majesty lent the use of the Indien to the Prince de Luxembourg for three years, and the Prince chartered her, for the term prescribed, to Mr. Gillon, of South-Carolina, under the commission of that State. This was the ship that Mr. Gillon came in to Philadelphia, under the name of the South-Carolina , in the year 1782.
No. IX.
Extract of a letter from Captain Paul Jones, of the American Navy, to the Honorable J. Adams*, dated L'Orient, May 13, 1779.
"You will confer a singular obligation on me, by favoring me with your opinion and advice respecting the unhappy misunderstanding, which I am told prevails on board the Alliance. I ask your advice, be-
cause, though I am determined to preserve order and discipline where I command, yet I wish to reprove with moderation, and never punish while there remains a good alternative.—It appears that there is a fault at least in one of the parties, and I with much to know where the fault lies; for without harmony and general good will among the officers, I cannot proceed with a good prospect."
"* He was then, and had been for some time before on board the Alliance."
No. X.
Extract of a letter from the same to his Excellency Benjamin Franklin, Esq. dated on board the Bon Homme Richard, at anchor in the road of Groix, June 18, 1779.
"I have had a most disagreeable talk to compose affairs on board the Alliance. The two principal officers, Lieutenants Hill and Adams, have at last left her without a contest, and I believe in consequence, that a better understanding will subsist between the officers that remain."
"† The Commodore winked at their leaving the Alliance, because he found it impossible (though he had been aided by Mr. Adams, and a number of American gentlemen then at L'Orient) to persuade them to live in the same ship with Captain Landais, whom they detested. Captain Landais was not then suspended; and the service suffered the loss of two old and good officers, for no other reason than to preserve to him the command of the Alliance."
"[To be continued.]"
New-York, Nov. 20.
The Rev. JOHN LIVINGSTON, D. D. of this city, has been appointed Principal of the Academy at Flatbush, WALTER MINTO, L. L. D. having resigned that trust, in consequence of his acceptance of the office of Professor of Mathematics in New-Jersey College.
Yesterday afternoon, the remains of the late Major ANDREW MOODY, were interred with military honors, in the old Presbyterian Church-yard. Detachments from the Light Infantry and Grenadiers of Col. Varick's regiment, with a band of music, followed by the Society of Cincinnati, and the Clergy, preceded the CORPSE—which was followed by the mourners, a large concourse of citizens, the Officers of the Militia, his Excellency the Governor, and several other persons of rank and distinction.—The procession was grand and solemn;—at the grave, the Troops concluded the ceremony by a discharge of three volleys of small arms.
The behaviour of the Troops on this occasion reflects the highest honor on their discipline.
On Thursday last, about break of day, a most daring attempt was made by some criminals in the New Prison, to effect an escape. Six felons were confined in the condemned room, three of whom were chained to the floor. On that morning the turnkey went his customary rounds, to see that all was right. He had no sooner entered their apartment, than he was seized by the three who had liberty of the room, who, with knives at his breast, forced from him the keys, locked him in, made their way down stairs, and passed thro' the doors below the debtors' rooms, the last of which they bolted on the lower side. Mr. Little, the gaoler, hearing the noise, opened his sleeping-room door, but had scarcely appeared, when he was knocked down, and severely cut in the head. By this time the debtors above were alarmed, and hastened to the assistance of Mr. Little; but their intention was frustrated by the felons' precaution of bolting the lower door. In this state, they would most probably have effected their purpose, but for the presence of mind displayed by Mrs. Little, who rushed up stairs, and unbolted the door, before the villains were aware of her design. The debtors now, with an alacrity which does them honor, immediately arrived to the assistance of Mr. Little; and the fellows were speedily overpowered, and reluctantly conveyed to their former habitation. Tho' Mr. Little was dangerously wounded, yet we do not understand that any bad consequence is apprehended.
Died, yesterday, Mr. PETER OUDI NAARD, of this city, Merchant.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled.

DONE in the City-Hall, in the City of New-York, by the United States in Congress assembled, this eleventh day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven, and in the twelfth year of our sovereignty and independence.
The Weaknesses of Brutus exposed: or, some Remarks in Vindication of the Constitution proposed by the late Federal Convention, against the Objections and gloomy Fears of that Writer.
By a CITIZEN of PHILADELPHIA.
THE long piece signed BRUTUS (which was first published in a New-York paper, and was afterwards copied into the Pennsylvania Packet of the 26th instant) is wrote in a very good stile; the language is easy, and the address is polite and insinuating: but the sentiments, I conceive, are not only unsound, but wild and chimerical; the dreary fears and apprehensions, altogether groundless; and the whole tendency of the piece, in this important crisis of our politics, very hurtful. I have therefore thought it my duty to make some animadversions on it; which I here offer, with all due deference, to the Author and to the Public.
His first question is, Whether a confederated government is best for the United States.
I answer, If Brutus, or any body else, cannot find any benefit resulting from the union of the Thirteen States; if they can do without as well as with the respectability, the protection, and the security, which the States might derive from that union, I have nothing further to say: but if that union is to be supported in any such manner as to afford respectability, protection, or security to the States, I say it must be done by an adequate government, and cannot be otherwise done.
This government must have a supreme power, superior to and able to control each
and all of its parts. 'Tis essential to all governments, that such a power be somewhere existing in it; and if the place where the proposed Constitution has fixed it, does not suit Brutus and his friends, I will give him leave to flow it away in any other place that is better: but I will not consent to have it annihilated; neither will I agree to have it cramped and pinched for room, so as to lessen its energy; for that will destroy both its nature and use.
The supreme power of government ought to be full, definite, established, and acknowledged. Powers of government too limited, or uncertain and disputed, have ever proved, like Pandora's box, a most fruitful source of quarrels, animosities, wars, devastation, and ruin, in all shapes and degrees, in all communities, states, and kingdoms on earth.
Nothing tends more to the honor, establishment, and peace of society, than public decisions, grounded on principles of right natural fineness, and prudence; but when the powers of government are too limited, such decisions can't be made and enforced; so the mischief goes without a remedy: dreadful examples of which we have felt, in instances more than enough, for seven years past.
Further, where the powers of government are not definite but disputed, the administration dare not make decisions on the footing of impartial justice and right; but must temporise with the parties, lest they lose friends or make enemies: and of course the righteous go off injured and disgusted, and the wicked go grumbling too; for 'tis rare that any sacrifices of a court can satisfy a prevailing party in the state.
'Tis necessary in states, as well as in private families, that controversies should have a just, speedy, and effectual decision; that right may be done before the contention has time to grow up into habits of malignity, resentment, ill nature, and ill offices. If a controversy happens between two states, must it continue undecided, and daily increase, and be more and more aggravated, by the repeated insults and injuries of the contending parties, 'till they are ripe for the decision of the sword? or must the weaker states suffer, without remedy, the groundless demands and oppressions of their stronger neighbours, because they have no avenger, or umpire of their disputes?
Or shall we institute a supreme power with full and effectual authority to controul the animosities, and decide the disputes of these strong contending bodies? In the one proposed to us, we have perhaps every chance of a righteous judgment, that we have any reason to hope for; but I am clearly of opinion, that even a wrongful decision, would, in most cases, be preferable to the continuance of such destructive controversies.
I suppose that neither Brutus nor any of his friends would wish to see our government embroiled abroad; and therefore will admit it necessary to institute some federal authority, sufficient to punish any individual or state, who shall violate our treaties with foreign nations, insult their dignity, or abuse their citizens, and compel due reparation in all such cases.
I further apprehend, that Brutus is willing to have the general interest and welfare of the States well provided for and supported, and therefore will consent that there shall exist in the states, an authority to do all this effectually; but he seems grieved that Congress should be the judges of this general welfare of the states. If he will be kind enough to point out any other more suitable and proper judges, I will consent to have them admitted.
Indeed I begin to have hopes of Brutus, and think he may come right at last; for I observe (after all his fear and tremblings about the new government) the constitution on he defines and adopts, is the very same as that which the federal convention have proposed to us, viz. "that the Thirteen States should continue thirteen confederated republics under the direction and control of a supreme federal head, for certain defined national purposes, only." Where we may observe,
1. That the new Constitution leaves all the Thirteen States, complete republics, as it found them, but all confederated under direction and control of a federal head, for certain defined national purposes only, i. e. it leaves all the dignities, authorities, and internal police of each State in free, full, and perfect condition; unless when national purposes make the control of them by the federal head, or authority, necessary to the general benefit. 2. These powers of control by the federal head or authority, are defined in the new constitution, as minutely as may be, in their principle; and any detail of them which may become necessary, is committed to the wisdom of Congress. 3. It extends the controlling power of the federal head to no one case, to which the jurisdiction or power of definitive decision of any one state, can be competent. And, 4. In every such case, the controlling power of the federal head, is absolutely necessary to the support, dignity, and bene-

fit of the national government, and the safety of individuals; neither of which can, by any possibility, be secured without it.
All this falls in pretty well with Brutus's sentiments; for he does not think the new Constitution in its present state so very bad, but fears that will not preserve its purity of institution; but it adopted will immediately verge to, and terminate in a consolidation, i. e. a destruction of the state governments. For argument, he suggests the avidity of power natural to rulers; and the eager grasp with which they hold it when obtained; and their strong propensity to abuse their power, and encroach on the liberties of the people.
He dwells on the vast powers vested in Congress by the new Constitution, i. e. of levying taxes, raising armies, appointing federal courts, &c.; takes it for granted, that all these powers will be abused, and carried to an oppressive excess; and then harangues on the dreadful case we shall be in, when our wealth is all devoured by taxes, our liberty destroyed by the power of the army, and our civil rights all sacrificed by the unbounded power of the federal courts, &c. (To be continued.)
To the PRINTER. A WRITER, under the signature of PUBLIUS, or the FEDERALIST, No. V. in the Daily Advertiser, and in the New-York Packet, with a view of proving the advantages, which, he says, will be derived by the States if the new Constitution is adopted--has given extracts of a letter from Queen Anne to the Scotch parliament, on the subject of a union between Scotland and England, and which I shall also here insert.
"An entire and perfect union will be the solid foundation of lasting peace: It will secure your religion, liberty and property, remove the animosities among yourselves, and the jealousies and differences between your two kingdoms. It must increase 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 enemies, who will doubtless, on this occasion, use their utmost endeavours to prevent or delay this union."
I would beg leave to remark, that PUBLIUS has been very unfortunate in selecting these extracts as a case in point, to convince the people of America, of the benefits they would derive from a union under such a government, as would be effected by the new system. It is a certainty, that when the union was the subject of debate in the Scotch legislature, some of their most sensible and disinterested nobles, as well as commoners, (who were not corrupted by English gold) violently opposed the union, and predicted, that the people of Scotland, would, in fact, derive no advantages from a consolidation of government with England, but, on the contrary, bear a great proportion of her debt, and furnish large bodies of men to assist in her wars with France, with whom, before the union, Scotland was at all times on terms of the most cordial amity. It was also predicted, that the representation in the parliament of Great-Britain, particularly in the house of commons, was too small; forty-five members being very far from the proportion of Scotland, when its extent and numbers were duly considered; and that even they, being so few, might (or at least a majority of them might) at all times be immediately under the influence of the English ministry; and, of course, very little of their attention would be given to the true interests of their constituents, especially if they came in competition with the projects or views of the ministry. How far these predictions have been verified, I believe it will not require much trouble to prove; as it must be obvious to every one, the least acquainted with the English history, since the union of the two nations, that the great body of the people in Scotland, are in a much worse situation now, than they would be, were they a separate nation. This will be fully illustrated, by attending to the great emigrations which are made to America; for if the people could have but common support at home, it is unreasonable to suppose, that such large numbers would quit their country, to seek from the tenderness of kindness and friendship, and trust themselves on a dangerous voyage across a vast ocean, to a country of which they can know but little, except by common report. I will only farther remark, that I is not above two or three years since a member of the British parliament, (I believe Mr. Dempster) gave a most pathetic description of the sufferings of the commonality of Scotland, particularly on the coast, and endeavoured to call the attention of parliament to their distresses, and afford them some relief by encouraging their fisheries. It deserves also to be remembered, that the people of Scotland, in the late war between France and Great Britain, petitioned to have arms and ammunition supplied them by their general government, for their defence, alleging that they were incapable of defending themselves and it is property from an invasion, unless they were assisted by government. It is a truth that their petitions were disregarded, and reasons were assigned that it would be dangerous to entrust them with the means of defence, as they would then have it in their power to break the union. From this representation of the situation of Scotland, surely no one can draw any conclusion, that this country would derive happiness or security from a government which would in reality, give the people but the mere name of being free; for if the representation, stipulated by the constitution, framed by the late convention, be attentively and dispassionately considered, it must be obvious to every disinterested observer, (besides many other weighty objections which will present themselves to his view) that the number is not, by any means, adequate to the present inhabitants of this extensive continent, much less to those it will contain at a future period.
I observe that the writer above-mentioned, takes great pains to show the disadvantages which would result from three or four distinct confederacies of these States. I must confess that I have not seen, in any of the pieces published against the proposed constitution, anything which gives the most distant idea that their writers are in favor of such governments; but it is clear these objections arise from a consolidation not affording security for the liberties of their country; and from hence it must evidently appear, that the design of PUBLIUS, is a false hold up to public view such confederacies, as he with no other intention than wilfully to deceive his fellow citizens.
I am confident it must be, and that it is, the sincere wish of every true friend to the United States, that there should be a confederated national government, but that it should be one which would have
a control over national and external matters only; and not interfere with the internal regulations and police of the different states in the union. Such a government, while it would give us respectability abroad, would not encroach upon, or subvert our liberties at home. AN OBSERVER. Nov. 13, 1787.

A CAUTION TO OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS. THAT they be ware 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 Tal-kloth in Holland. N.B. If it should be enquired who are the prom- oters 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. tf 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 Manufactory of Cast -Iron in the couplet 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 wire 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 of less -mixt 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 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, skin- -les, griddles, potash kettles and cookers, whaling- -kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, -stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for fu- -gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flit- -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 cañons of the -new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which -the same fire can roast and boils the meat, bakes the -bread; millstones and gudgeons, law-millcranks, -calcining plates for making prarashes, cast iron -stewers for tilling and paper-mills, faucets plates cast -to any size that may be wanted, fish-weighs, so-ge- -hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, -quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights, cart- -waggon, coach, phaeton, cart and sulkey boxes, -&c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, -cast agreeable to any pattern, will please to -send their patterns to the FURNACE, near -Mr. Atlee's B. where they have them at the house of -PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great-Dock-Street, -near the Exchange. Oct. 15, 6w

ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from -his friends and the public, and would wish 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 -tattle 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 importations strangers are liable to, -in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a com- -petent 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 having been much wanted -in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf
