To be SOLD at this Printing-Office,  An ACT
To regulate the MILITIA of the State of New-York, To which is annexed, An Amendment to the said Act; passed at the last meeting of the Legislature.

A gentleman of some eminence, from one of the English West-India islands, assures us, that in company with Prince William Henry, Captain of the British frigate Pegalus, it was, by that vain, deified youth, declared, that he neither wished, nor was permitted by his Royal Father, to visit any of the French islands, or (to use his own inelegant and impolitic expressions, contained in his gracious answer to the Loyal Gudgeons of Halifax, Nova-Scotia, on the 3d July last) "those unhappy and deluded men, who have, on this continent, forfeited their fidelity to their Sovereign, and the [enormous] advantages arising from being subjects to his Majesty."
The following TOASTS were drunk in Halifax, (Nova-Scotia) on the 4th of July last, by a select party of Ladies, who had met on that day, to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence, viz.
1. Prosperity to the United States of America. 2. The DAY, and Members of the Cincinnati. 3. All the true Friends of America throughout the World. 4. The Daughters of Freedom. 5. More Liberality of Sentiment, and Hospitality of Heart, to the inhabitants of this province.
Our informant further adds, that the Ladies decline communicating a greater number of toasts than five, lest it should be suspected that they too freely partook of the juice of the grape; but they candidly acknowledge (to use a favorite and common British term in that town) "to have enjoyed themselves REBEL females like."
By advice from Cadiz, dated 12th June, 1787, to a house in Philadelphia, we learn, that in consequence of the salt works of that place, and St. Lucar, having been destroyed by tempestuous weather, the King of Spain had laid an embargo upon the exportation of salt from every port of his dominions. The prohibition was expected to continue at least eight months. Many vessels from different parts of Europe as well as America, have departed in ballast, in consequence of this restriction. The same advices mention, that there was also a scarcity of this article at St. Ubes, and that a number of vessels sent to Spain for a supply for that place, had been obliged to return empty.
The following copy of a letter, written by Captain Sullivan, to his Excellency Don Diego Gardoqui, his Catholic Majesty's Minister to the United States of America, is copied from the Columbian Herald (printed in Charleston) of August 6, 1787.
State of Georgia, Frontier of the Creek Nation, 1st March, 1787.
May it please your Excellency, HAVING waited thus far in expectation of permission to join the Spanish troops in South America and having expressed to your Excellency an ardent inclination to obtain the mere honor of serving in any Spanish regiment as a volunteer; which requisitions as they were not complied with in due time, I beg leave to decline the acceptance of any rank or degree in the service of his Catholic Majesty—The annals of history must have informed your Excellency, that many nations have had abundant reason to deplore the impolicy of those whom they had invested with the powers of government, in slighting the proffered services of men (however young like myself) whose bent, study and inclination naturally led to tactical pursuits and to war, and who afterwards arrived to the highest pinnacle of military eminence and glory; at the woeful experience of such countries and States as had rejected those early overtures of service in their armies. Not to talk of the Achaian league, or the Athenian, Spartan, or Theban glory, modern history is replete with such proofs; and your Excellency cannot but recollect (however inapplicable perhaps the instances may hereafter prove to a young and insignificant soldier of fortune,) what France had suffered from a rejected Eugene ; and that Saxe , whose services had been refused by an English court, had afterwards fertilized the plains of the Netherlands, with the blood and carcasses of slaughtered Britons. But to the point. Being a soldier of fortune, as I profess—and having studied from my infancy the science of arms, practical war is now my pursuit, as a profession most congenial with my principles and disposition; and thousands of Americans (officers in the late war) pant for an opportunity to serve this country. The banks of the Ohio and Mississippi, are actually alive with the first American characters of this stamp, and called upon from thence by my heroic brethren of the army—honor, virtue and the bias of an ancient intercourse, and former habits incline me to assist them. From the Natches to the Kaskaskies—from Pittsburg to St. Mary's-river, they are prepared to pour forth with the greatest ease 50,000 veterans in arms, in defence of their commercial rights , throughout the navigable rivers of the southern parts of this empire.—The grain is actually germinating, sown by the pride, avarice and folly of a certain external power , which the pure air of liberty working at the root, and the laws of nature, superior to the narrow policy of any foreign court, must finally & very speedily raise into a host of myrmidons, the children of Enachim; the sons of the earth; irresistible in this land, at least by any force that may obstruct their pretensions or assail them.
The important drama, may it please your Excellency, is now approaching; a new drama, in which the tragedians of the west are to appear in the military buskin—and I am invited to act as a character of some consequence among them—Time will tell how decisively my part shall be performed. Of this I am sure, that I shall exhibit to my utmost the part of a soldier. A very inconsiderable time must inevitably call forth to trial, the mighty energy of the Ohio and Mississippi; and incidents and events are gradually teeming into birth, which will shortly open a spacious field for a daring spirit to explore.
May it please your Excellency, the States of Georgia, Franklin, and Kentucky, confederated; the counties of Bourbon, &c. on the Natches; the settlements on Cumberland, Kaskaskies, and the Wabash, and the government of Pittsburg, Westmoreland, &c. abound with the seeds of war; nor will any obstruction from New-Orleans to the Blaise, impede the overwhelming inundation preparing to pour down along the waters of the Mississippi, into the Bay of Mexico. The torrent will be irresistible; the crop is actually in the ground; harvest is ready for the hook, and the hook for the harvest, the reaper has introduced his sickle, combustibles are laid into a pile; nay, the very brand is already applied, and the fire only requires to be fanned. The permission of Congress will not be solicited on this occasion. In Congress this people are not represented. I am now on my way to the western waters, where people too long confined to unnatural boundaries, are ready to float with the current of the Mississippi
into the sea, and with irresistible irruption and impetuosity to burst over every artificial barrier and mound which may obstruct their free passage into the ocean. The Americans are amphibious animals. They cannot be confined to the land alone. Tillage and commerce are their elements. Both, or neither will they enjoy. Both they will have, or perish.
I have the honor to remain, with the utmost deference, your Excellency's most obedient, and most humble servant,
JOHN SULLIVAN, Late Captain 4th regiment, American light dragoons.
P. S. In the alternative of peace or war, I shall ever entertain the highest respect for your Excellency, and should be happy in the continuance of a candid correspondence. In this case, inclose my address to Major Thomas Washington of Georgia, who is acquainted with my routes.
To his Excellency the Spanish Minister, at New-York.
From the Pennsylvania Packet. Halifax, (Nova-Scotia) June 28, 1787. Dear C * * *
Every thing seems to wear a most promising aspect on this side the water—the frontier posts being still in our possession is a stroke of policy peculiarly in our favour—the rulers of your new empire do not seem to be sufficiently acquainted with the many dangers that threaten its destruction—your pusillanimity in suffering Britain to retain the frontier posts—the want of energy in your federal head—the contracted state of your commerce, the British reinforcing the garrisons of Canada—the many thousands of troops which were disbanded and became settlers in this province, at the end of the war, and who are ready to fly to arms at a moment's warning, being tired of cutting down trees and endeavouring to cultivate unfruitful lands, are circumstances, which, unless guarded against, will rend America in pieces, and, "like the baseless fabric of a vision, leave not a wreck behind." Keep these sentiments close, and by the first opportunity, let me know what your Grand Convention are about.

Mutual Assurance Company.
For insuring HOUSES from LOSS by FIRE in New-York.
WHEREAS the insuring of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, has been found of great and public utility wherever it has been practised; and although societies, have been instituted in different places, yet none have hitherto been formed in this city for that laudable and beneficent purpose.
A number of respectable citizens, as well for their own mutual security as for the common security and advantage of their neighbours and fellow-citizens, with the view of promoting the insurance of houses and other buildings from loss by fire, upon the most equal terms, and without any views of private or separate gain or interest, have established a company by the name of
The Mutual Assurance Company, For Insuring Houses from Loss by Fire in New-York.
The utility of an institution in its purpose so laudable, cannot fail to attract the notice of every citizen being of so great importance to the security of property and the happiness of families, that it is presumed that no person of prudence will be found to neglect it.
The office is now opened at No. 57, King-street, where such persons as incline to insure their houses and other buildings, may, on application, receive every necessary information.
