New-York, Oct. 16.
It is with a noble and patriotic pride that America boasts of her Barlows, her Dwtights, her Trumbulls, and her Humphreys, the poetic luminaries of Connecticut. She also boasts of her Washingtons, her Adams's, and her Dickenfons, in politics--her Franklins, her Winthrop's, and her Rittenhoufes, in philosophy--her Jeffersons, in natural history--and her Ramfays, in political history--all American original literary characters.
Let the learned of our country, like them, no longer shine in borrowed beams, but in their own native lustre, independent and uncontrouled, by that servile imitation which led the Abbe Raynal to suppose the human mind depressed in America; and we may convince Europe that the Abbe was mistaken, and that America can be as independent in the achievements of genius in all kinds of literature, as she is in politics--Let us encourage literary genius wherever we find it--Let us think for ourselves, and make our own books in all the sciences. Nothing will serve more to accomplish an object so desirable, and so honorable to our country, than patronizing American publications in general, and especially those independent essays in literature which really have merit.
An Address from a Society lately instituted in London, whose object is a progressive abolition of the Slave Trade, to one of a similar nature some time since instituted in Philadelphia; with other extracts of letters, from London, on the same subject.
At a Committee of the Society for promoting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, held in London, 17th July, 1787,
John Barton, William Delwyn, George Harrison, Samuel Hoare, jun. Joseph Hooper, Richard Phillips, James Philips, Grenville Sharpe, Philip Sanfom, Joseph Woods.
The following letter to the "Pennsylvania Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, and the Relief of Free Negroes, unlawfully held in bondage," was agreed to, and the Chairman desired to sign and forward the same.
To the President, Vice-President, and Committee of the Pennsylvania Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, and the relief of Free Negroes, unlawfully held in bondage.
GENTLEMEN, OUR satisfaction on hearing of a Society established for the purpose of promoting the Abolition of slavery, &c. induces the committee of an institution formed with a more particular view to the discouragement of the slave trade, to give this early testimony of our hearty approbation of your benevolent plan; and thus to introduce a correspondence, from which reciprocal advantages may arise in the prosecution of our respective designs, so nearly allied in their nature and tendency.
We are glad to inform you, that the claims of humanity in this respect have here found many respectable patrons, among whom are several of rank and influence. Our immediate aim is, by diffusing a knowledge of the subject, and particularly of the modes of procuring and treating slaves, to interest men of every description in the abolition of the traffic; but especially those from whom any alteration must proceed--the members of our Legislature. For this purpose a liberal subscription has been set on foot, which has enabled us to disperse tracts written on the subject, and Thomas Clarkson is now absent with the concurrence of the committee endeavouring to collect evidence in various parts of this nation of such facts as are proper to be laid before Parliament.
The laws permit no slavery in this country; and it is probable that the establishment of the trade has been in part derived from the distance of situation, which, together with the interest of the parties immediately concerned, has involved the subject in obscurity. We hope at least that some benefit will arise to the nations of Africa, by disclosing to public view the horrid methods which have been taken to scatter amongst them the seeds of discord and war; and we do not despair of convincing the world of the impolicy as well as barbarity of this commerce in the bodies of rational creatures.
We shall be very glad to receive from you any information that may tend to effect the purpose of our institution; we are particularly desirous of knowing what consequences have resulted to plantations where the manumission of slaves has already taken place.
At present we have only to add our cordial wishes for the success of your endeavors, and to assure you of our sincere respect, and of our desire to co-operate with you in whatever may tend to promote it.
Signed by order of the committee, SAMUEL HOARE, Jun. Chairman. (The Letters, above referred to, in our next.)

By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled.
October 11, 1787.
THE Committee, to whom was referred a report of the Board of Treasury, and a motion of Mr. Kean, respecting the requisition for 1787, having reported, "That, from the several papers referred to them, it appears that there is wanting, for the services of the year 1787, the payment of one year's interest on the foreign debt, and such part of the principal as becomes due in the year 1788, and the payment of one year's interest on the domestic debt, the sum of 3,009,798. 64-90 dollars:
"That, of the aforesaid sum, 1,309,391. 64-90 is absolutely necessary in specie--that there are considerable sums in specie due from the States, over and above those which are necessary to discharge the existing demands on former requisitions, which sums are nearly equal to the payment of that part of the present requisition that is absolutely necessary in specie; and the objects, for which the said sums were called for, no longer existing, they may be now appropriated to the purposes of the present requisition--that, in their opinion, many difficulties have arisen from the restrictions made in former requisitions, in the issuing of the indents of interests; the making them receivable only for the year in which they were issued, and then only when accompanied by a certain proportion of specie; and declaring that, after a certain period, they should not be received from the States at the Federal Treasury; all which have served to check the exertions of the States, and to keep back the specie payments: nor have they had those beneficial effects, expected from them, of stopping the issue of indents, where States had not passed Legislative Acts to call them in, or keeping up their value, and preventing depreciation; but, on the contrary, have opened a new scene of speculation, in transferring the property of a citizen of a State, which has not passed a Legislative Act, to a citizen of a State which has. In addition to this, the Committee observe, that the Acts of Congress, empowering the Board of Treasury to contract for the sale of Western Territory, also empowers them to issue indents of interest to the purchasers; so that, to continue such restrictions, would operate only to the injury of a few, and be no public benefit."
Whereupon, Resolved, That for the services of the year 1787, for the payment of one year's interest on the foreign debt, and such part of the principal as becomes due in the year 1788, and for the payment of one year's interest on the Domestic Debt, it will be necessary, that three millions and nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight sixty-four ninetieths dollars, be paid into the treasury of the United States, on or before the first day of July next; to be appropriated to the following purposes, viz.
  For the Civil Department, 124,161. 85   Military Department, 176,757. 17   Geographer's Department, 9,964   Invalid Pensions, 88,000   Contingencies, 19,000   Foreign Debt for the payment of interest on the French and Dutch Loans and two instalments of Principal on the French Loans, becoming due 1788, 871,622. 87   Spanish Loan, one year's Interest due thereon, 8,700   Debt due to Foreign Officers, one year's Interest thereon, 11,185. 55 891,508. 52   Domestic Debt, one year's Interest thereon, - 1,700,407 
Making in the whole, dollars 3,009,798. 64
Resolved, That the sums called for in the years 1784, 1785, and 1786, and stated by the Board of Treasury not now to be necessary, the objects, for which they were called for, no longer existing, which sums amount to one million two hundred thousand dollars, be now appropriated to the payment of that part of the present requisition, which cannot be discharged but with specie; any thing in former requisitions to the contrary notwithstanding: and shall be applied in conformity with the several appropriations in the preceding part of this report giving preference according to the order in which they are stated in the estimate.
Resolved, That one hundred and nine thousand three hundred and ninety one dollars sixty-four ninetieths, in the hands of the Commissioners of Loans in Holland, in aid of the above sum, be appropriated for the discharging the interest due on the foreign debt due in Holland, and to no other purpose whatever.
As 1,700,407 dollars called for, are to be applied to the payment of the interest due on the domestic debt of the United States,
Resolved, That the several states be allowed to discharge the same by indents for interest on Loan-office certificates, and upon other certificates of the liquidated debts of the United States, in such manner as
they judge most expedient; and to ascertain the evidences of interest due on Loan-office certificates, the holders thereof respectively shall be at liberty to carry them to the office from which they issued, and the holders of other certificates of liquidated debts of the United States, to carry the same to the Loan-office of that State wherein they are inhabitants, or if foreigners, to any Loan-office within the United States, and to have the interest thereon settled and certified to the last day of the year 1786; any thing in the requisitions for the years 1784, 1785, and 1786 to the contrary notwithstanding.
Resolved, That the quotas of the several States of the aforesaid sum of 1,700,407 dollars in indents be as follows, viz.
  New-Hampshire, 59,684   Massachusetts, 254,381   Rhode-Island, 36,558   Connecticut, 149,976   New-York, 145,555   New-Jersey, 94,372   Pennsylvania, 232,616   Delaware, 25,506   Maryland, 160,349   Virginia, 290,770   North-Carolina, 123,450   South-Carolina, 108,996   Georgia, 18,194 is 1,700,407 
That the foregoing requisition when paid, shall be passed to the credit of the States respectively, on the terms prescribed by the resolve of Congress of the 6th day of October, 1779.
Resolved, That the Board of Treasury furnish the several Loan-officers with indents, to be issued for interest as aforesaid, and also with such checks and instructions as they from time to time shall judge necessary, to prevent counterfeit certificates of debts from obtaining a settlement of interest, and to detect counterfeit evidences of interest, and thereby to avoid receiving them in discharge of taxes; which indents of interest being parted with by the holders of the principal, shall be deemed evidence that he has received satisfaction for the same, and therefore shall be receivable from the bearer in lieu of money in any other state in the Union, as well as in the State in which they were issued,
That the State paying such indents of interest into the Federal treasury shall have credit therefor, which payment shall be considered as a discharge of the interest on the domestic debt, in the proportion that each State avails itself of the said indents of interest; but no State shall have a right to pay more than its quota, as specified in the existing requisitions of Congress, in the said indents of interest.
Resolved, That the Board of Treasury be and they are hereby directed to transmit to each State an account of their respective arrears in specie and in indents, to state to them the impediments that the public service has suffered, and the accumulation of foreign and domestic embarrassments that have arisen from their delinquency--to press upon them the absolute necessity of their making payment of their arrears of specie, as it is the only fund on which Congress can rely, for the support of the Federal Government--and to remind those states who continue particularly delinquent, that they must be considered as responsible for all the evils which will inevitably flow from a disregard to the political obligations by which they are constitutionally bound.
Resolved, That such part of the requisitions of the years 1784, 1785, and 1786, as restricts the receipt at the public treasury of indents of interest without a certain proportion of specie--those parts which declare that after a certain day those States which have not paid their quotas shall be held to pay the same in specie--and such part as prevents the receiving of the indents issued in one year, in payment of taxes for another, be, and they are hereby repealed:--And it is hereby declared that the indents issued in 1784, 1785, and 1786, or under the present requisition, shall be indiscriminately received in payment of any State's quota of indents of interest.

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 necessary 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 imbues the ware to be rough
and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference,
in short, is nearly the same as there is 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 manu-
factures of his own country; but a more powerful argument
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, pre-pans, skil-
lets, griddles, poach kettles and coolers, whing-
kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works,
stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for sugar-works
and distilleries, rollers and shears for flitting-mills,
chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates,
cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close
stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves near y decorated
with carved work, Bath stoves-gates elegantly
ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes or 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 filling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast
to any size that may be wanted, cash-weighs, forge-
hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds,
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,
