An ACT for giving relief in cases of insolvency, Passed the 21st of March 1788.
Continued from Thursday last.
14. AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That for the more full discovery of the estate of such insolvent, the chancellor, or justice of the supreme court, or judge of the court of common pleas at the request of the Assignees, the survivors, or survivor of them shall have, at any time after such assignment as aforesaid, full power, and they are hereby required to summon and examine on oath such insolvent, his wife and every other person whom he knows or suspects to detain any part of the said insolvent's estate, or to be indebted to it; and in case any person on such summons shall refuse to attend, having no reasonable excuse, or shall refuse to be sworn, then it shall and may be lawful for the said chancellor, or any of the justices of the supreme court, or such judge of the court of common pleas, to commit the person so refusing to jail, until he or she shall submit to be examined concerning what he or she may know relating to such estate, and if any such person or persons shall wilfully and knowingly affirm, or swear falsely, the person or persons so offending, shall be liable to the same pains and penalties as those who are convicted of wilful and corrupt perjury.
15. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every such insolvent who shall, before the delivery of such petition, have become bail in any cause, on account of which he or she has or have reason to think judgment may be had against him or her, and shall make oath, that at the time he or she so became bail, he or she had a clear estate sufficient to answer any demand that could with any probability be made upon him or her as bail, may add to the account of the creditors, and the monies owing by him or her before directed to be given, an account of the manner of becoming bail, and annex such a sum as he or she imagines he or she will be liable to pay on that account, and then the assignees shall reserve in their hands for the space of one year and an half, such a dividend as a creditor for the like sum would have a right to receive; and after judgement obtained against any such insolvent, the person or persons obtaining the same, shall be considered in every respect as another creditor, whose debt was due before the delivery of the petition.—But if in the space of one year and an half after the petition is delivered, no judgement shall be obtained against such insolvent, the monies so reserved shall be divided among the other creditors, in the same manner as the rest of such insolvent's estate, and such insolvent shall be discharged from all obligations as bail, in the same manner as if the sum so annexed to the account of his or her creditors was paid, and if judgement shall be obtained against such insolvent as bail for any sum, within one year and an half after the petition is delivered, and after the division of the produce of his or her estate among his or her creditors, and the said insolvent shall have omitted, either wholly or in part to annex the said sum to the account delivered the person obtaining such judgement, shall recover against the said insolvent, either for the whole or the part omitted, as the case shall happen to be, so much as the other creditors of the said insolvent ought to have received for a like just debt and no more. Provided always, That the sum for which judgement is obtained against such insolvent, being added to the account of his or her creditors, and of the monies owing to them before directed to be given, to debts owing by him or her to the petitioning creditors, shall still appear to have been three-fourths of all that was owing by the said insolvent.
16. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all persons who have given credit to such insolvent on a valuable consideration, for any sum of money or other matter or thing, which is or shall not be due or payable, at or before the time of the delivery of the petition, shall and may be admitted and considered as creditors whose debts are then due, and shall receive a dividend of such insolvent's estate in the same proportion as the other creditors, deducting thereout only a rebate of interest at the rate of seven per cent. for what shall be received on such debts (unless such debts shall be payable with interest (to be computed from the actual payment thereof to the time they would have been due.

BOSTON, April 12.
An act passed by the legislature, at their last session, in addition to and for amending the excise acts, by the first clause enacts, That after the first day of May next, in addition to the duty already laid, there shall be paid, on every gallon of Madeira wine 3d. On do. of other wines 3d. On do. of foreign rum and other foreign distilled spirits 3d. On do. of New-England rum 2d. Every pound of bohea tea 3d.—ditto of other India tea 6d. On ditto of coffee 1 1/4. Cocoa 3d. On every hundred of Lemons 1s. On every hundred wt. of raisins 1s. 6d. Every pound of manufactured tobacco imported 4d. The second clause enacts, "That each and every importer of excised articles shall sign the weigher and gauger's account of the weight and gauge of the articles imported which account shall be exhibited by the weigher and gauger to the collector, his deputy, and shall be endorsed by him on the bond which by law is to be given, by the importer, previous to the unlading of such excised articles. And when all the importers by any vessel shall have signed such account, the weigher and gauger shall give a certificate thereof to the master or commander of such vessel, and not before. And no naval officer or his deputy, shall clear out any vessel by which excised articles, may have been imported, without a certificate as aforesaid, being produced to him by the master or commander thereof;" and all importers shall annually, on the first day of May, August, November and February, or within thirty days thereof, render an account of all the excised articles contained in his bond, and pay the excise thereon. The third clause enacts, "That when any excised articles are exported out of this commonwealth, and lost at sea or landed in any port or place without the limits of the United States, and bonds given on exportation shall be cancelled, provided the exporter shall produce such proof of the loss or landing thereof as aforesaid, as shall be satisfactory to the collector of excise and the comptroller-general. And to prevent the revenue being injured by not shipping or re-landing of goods bonded for exportation, the fourth clause enacts, "That if any excised articles bonded for exportation, are not shipped or re-landed without liberty from the collector, upon proof thereof, the master or owner shall forfeit and pay four fold duties on the goods so landed for exportation, and the vessel shall be seized and held to answer the same, and the bond given by the shipper shall be sued for and recovered. And the collectors of excise and naval officers and their deputies, are authorized to search any vessel, and if the goods bonded for exportation shall not be found therein, the master or owner, and the shipper shall be liable to the penalties aforesaid. The fifth clause enacts, that on chocolate exported, there shall be allowed the same drawback of excise, as the like quantity of cocoa would be entitled to. The sixth clause appropriates the duties collected in virtue of this act, to the support of the civil government; and the seventh directs the treasurer not to draw orders on the collectors, for any excise which they may collect in consequence of this act. [Passed March 31, 1788.]
PROVIDENCE, April 10.
The honorable general assembly of this state, at their late session, directed a letter to be sent to Congress, stating the measures taken by our legislature on the subject of the proposed federal constitution. The substance of which was, that on receiving the report of the convention at Philadelphia, at last October session, they ordered 1000 copies to be printed and dispersed among the people at large, which was done. That at last February session a day was affixed for every freeholder in open town-meeting, to vote on the subject, agreeably to the act submitting the constitution to the people; which was ordered to be enclosed.—That by the returns received at the present session it appeared, that rather more than 3700 had voted against the constitution, and about 200 for it *— That the legislature of this state was deeply impressed with a sense of the necessity of further powers being vested in Congress—the entire regulation of trade, with power to levy and collect an impost, would be agreed to, &c. &c.
* At the last general election 4170 votes were given in—which it will appear, that upwards of 1200 freeholders in this state have not voted on the subject of the proposed national constitution.
NEW-PORT (Rhode-Island) April 10. Saturday evening, when the house was very thin, the petition and instructions from Newport and Providence, praying that a convention might be appointed, and the memorial from the society of friends for the repeal of the tender and limitation act, were ordered to be thrown off the table. The assembly adjourned without day. [Herald.]
MIDDLETOWN, April 14.
Arrived since our last, brig Sally, Tho's Rice, from St. Croix. Schooner Abiah, Jacob Goodwin, from Port-au-Prince; drove ashore on Bermuda, hoisted out 40
hogheads of molasses, and got off without damage to his vessel, after paying our good friends, the Bermudians, £216. Schooner Sally, Amasa Jones, from St. Croix; on his passage, Mr. Wickham Cottrell, of this city, fell from the cross jack-yard, hit the main chains, went overboard and was lost.
HUDSON, April 10.
At a court of oyer and terminer, holden at Claverack, three men were convicted of horse-stealing, viz. Cornelius Vradenburgh, Philip Johnson, and John Davis, the latter a negro man. After a very pathetic address from the bench by his honor Judge Yates, they were severally sentenced to be executed, on the thirtieth day of May next, between the hours of ten and twelve in the forenoon. Vradenburgh and Johnson (although the latter was quite a youth) have, for a long time, carried on the business of horse-stealing, and were undoubtedly too much hardened in iniquity ever to be reclaimed. We commiserate their unhappy fate; and, at the same time, cannot but wish to be rid of such villains, and pests to society.
New-York, April 24.
YESTERDAY arrived here the sloop Mary, Captain Campbell, from Montego-Bay, in twenty days.
At a late session of the supreme court at Halifax, Nova-Scotia, Mr. Sterne and Mr. Taylor, two attorneys, were refused the privilege of pleading at the bar, by the court, and their names ordered to be struck off the rolls, with a declaration of the judges, that they should no longer practice in that court.—We are told, that they were treated thus severely on account of their having written several pieces in the public papers, respecting the mal-administration of their honors the judges.
Col. Bauman's respectable corps of Artillery, and the city troops of Light-Horse, commanded by Capt. Stakes, paraded on Monday afternoon; their appearance was brilliant, which must have been pleasing to every good citizen, and particularly so to the admirers of that uniformity and discipline so essential in the profession of arms.
A hog was lately killed at Mr. Harrington's slaughter-house, in Middletown, which weighed, including the whole of the lard, 602 pounds.
Debates on the American Intercourse Bill, in the British House of Commons, from February 12 to February 13.
Mr. Grenville moved, that the house resolve itself into a committee to consider of the trade between the subjects of his Majesty's dominions, and the inhabitants of the countries belonging to the United States of America, and of the foreign islands in the West-Indies.
The speaker having left the chair, and Mr. Steele taken his seat at the table, Mr. Grenville rose and said, if he had intended merely to call upon the committee to sanction a renewal of the bill of last session, to regulate the trade between the United States and our West-India islands, he should have had occasion to trouble the committee with a very few words; but, as he proposed putting one branch of the trade in question, under permanent regulations, he must go a little more at large into the subject. The bill, he said, referred to a matter that naturally divides itself under three distinct heads, viz. the trade carried on between the United States and the British West-India islands, the trade between the United States and our American colonies, and the trade between this country and the United States.—The first was undoubtedly the great and leading branch of the three, and to that it was that he wished to call the attention of the committee. It had, he said, been the policy of Great-Britain, from the first, to confine the carrying on of that trade to British built ships, and British built ships only; but as it had been much doubted whether that were practicable and expedient, it had been prudent to attempt the matter merely as an experiment, and by a temporary bill, vesting powers for the better regulation of the trade in his majesty in council. He remembered it had been originally objected, that under such a mode of conducting the trade of the West-India islands would be put under great difficulties. The committee, however, had now the experience of four years to convince them that the objection had no validity, for so long had the experiment been tried, and the result was, that under such a regulation the trade had flourished and improved so much, that it was during the last year carried on to a much more considerable extent than in any year preceding the late war. Mr. Grenville stated the particulars for proof of this assertion, declaring at the same time, that the quantity of lumber and provisions sent from America to the West-India islands, had been fully sufficient for their supply; and that the sum of our islands fetched a better price than it had heretofore done. He expatiated also on the national advantages of the trade in the circumstances of employing 4000 seamen, and of a considerable quantity of shipping. He stated the revenue derived from it, and after having fully discussed every part of the subject, he said, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to put the trade under permanent regulations. He next adverted to the state of the commerce between this country and the United States. It was confidently spoke of, that endeavours were making in America to form a federal government; when that government should be established, it would then be sufficient time to come to any permanent regulation of trade; till then, it had best remain as it was. Great Britain, ever since the peace, had condescended to favor the United States, and to give them greater advantages with regard to their ships entering our ports, than were enjoyed by the ships of any other country. But while we had been acting thus liberally and generously to the United States of America, the same principles had not aduated the conduct of the United States towards this country. Indeed, of our enjoying the same ad-
vantages in the American ports, as the ships of the United States enjoyed in our ports, British ships were not admitted even to the same privileges as the ships of every other state. In return for the advantages we gave to the ships of the United States, British ships were put under peculiar disadvantages in the American ports. It had been hitherto the characteristic of Great Britain, to manifest a forbearance on this account, respecting America, and truly dignified and becoming it had been in this country to have persisted its forbearance so long. But if the United States continued to set off disadvantages against advantages, and to make so ill a return for our kindness, it would be necessary to retaliate, and we had it sufficiently in our power to do so, and to do so effectually. Having said this, and assigned his reasons for suffering the salt trade to Turk's island to be carried on in American bottoms, Mr. Grenville moved two resolutions.
Lord Penryn made a few observations on the subject, his lordship contended against the possibility of the West-India islands being supplied with provisions and lumber without dependence on the United States of America, from whom they must be supplied, Canada and Nova-Scotia, not being adequate to supply the demand. His lordship doubted whether in the last, the import of lumber and provisions into the West-Indies, and the export of them from the West-Indies to America, had been greater than on any former year for the last four years; he suspected the right hon. gentleman had taken his account from the custom-house entries, which could not guide him, as in former years the contraband trade had been carried on with great success, and the islands supplied illicitly, by which means no entries were made, and the imports and exports made to appear considerably less than they really were.
Mr. Pulteney said, the facts upon which the right hon. gentleman grounded his intended alteration of the bill were not sufficiently before the house, to enable them to form a judgment upon the expediency of the measure proposed. They might be known to the right hon. gentleman; but he wished they could in some way or other be laid before the house. Mr. Pulteney stated, that during the war, such a number of vessels had been employed as transports, carrying stores, &c. that when the peace came, they could not find employ for one half of them, and therefore, that the owners, rather than have their ships unemployed, might have engaged in the trade in question, even at some loss. If the fact were so, it would account for the increase that the hon. gentleman had stated, and in that case it might not be prudent to adopt the proposed alterations. Mr. Pulteney said a few more words, and before he sat down, repeated his wish that the facts in question could be brought, in some form or other, before the house.
Mr. Grenville said, he really was not aware of any mode by which the hon. gentleman's wish could be complied with, but that a part of the object was already before the house in a report from the board of trade.
Mr. Alderman Watson said a few words in support of the motion, and said, that though it certainly was true that the W.-India islands could not yet be wholly supplied with provisions and lumber without the aid of America, yet he was confident that in a very short time Canada would be able to supply them wholly with provisions, and New Brunswick supply them with lumber.
Before the house went into the above committee, it was moved that it be an instruction that they do consider of a proper encouragement to the making of salt, in the islands called Turk's island in the Bahama islands.
Mr. Steele, after some time, reported that the committee had come to some resolutions, which were ordered to be received this day.
February 13.
A report was made from the committee on the state of American commerce, viz.
That it is the opinion of this committee that the chairman do move for leave to bring in a bill to continue the laws now in force, for regulating the trade between his majesty's dominions and the inhabitants of the territories belonging to the United States of America, so far as the same relates to the trade and commerce carried on between this kingdom and the inhabitants of the countries belonging to the said United States.
That leave be given to bring in a bill for regulating the trade between his majesty's colonies and plantations in North America and the West-India islands, and the countries belonging to the United States of America; and between his majesty's said subjects, and the foreign islands in the West-Indies. The same agreed to, and bills ordered to be brought in.
That it is the opinion of this committee that a duty of two shillings and six pence per ton, be laid upon every ship or vessel belonging to the inhabitants of the United States of America, coming to the island, in ballast, and not otherwise, for the purpose of being there laden, with salt. The same was read and agreed to, and, upon motion, leave given to bring in a bill accordingly.
Extract of a letter from Maryland, dated April 11.
The election for four members to represent the county of Harford in the convention, to meet at Annapolis on the 21st inst. to decide on the new constitution, was closed yesterday about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the poll stood as follows:
  William Paca, Esq. late governor of the state 41   John Love, Esq. 41   William Pinckney, Esq. 41   Luther Martin, Esq. attorney-general 41   B. Rumsey, Esq. chief judge of the court of appeals 6   Aquila Hall, Esq. 6   John Archer, Esq. 6   B. E. Hall, Esq. one of the senators 5 
The first four candidates pledged themselves to the electors, that if chosen they would never assent to the proposed constitution unless such amendments as are necessary to secure and preserve the rights of the respective states and of their citizens shall be previously obtained; the others declared themselves for adopting the system and endeavouring afterwards to procure the necessary amendments; the poll was kept open four days to give

these last four gentlemen an opportunity of discovering how many of their county-men concurred with them in opinion.
Mr. Martin only arrived in Harford county on Saturday evening before the election, and meeting the electors on Monday morning at the place where the election was held, N. D. M'Comas, Esquire, one of the candidates, with a liberality of sentiment which will ever do him honor, declined, in order that Mr. Martin might be elected for that county. On yesterday evening also the election ended for Baltimore county, at the close of which the poll stood as follows:
 Charles Ridgely, Esq. 675  Charles Ridgely, of William, Esq. 673  Edward Cockey, Esq. 639  Nathan Cromwell, Esq. 627  Harry Doyles Gough, Esq. 192  James Gunning, Esq. 183  John Eager Howard, Esq. 172  John Cadock, Esq. 171 
The same opposition of sentiment existed and was declared between the candidates for Baltimore county, as between those of Harford. The great and decided majority, in each county, in favor of the candidates who declared in opposition to the new constitution, must evince to the world, in the strongest manner, the scale of those two countries. I am also this moment informed by good authority that the friends of the proposed system have received a total defeat in Anne Arundel county, and that on the close of that poll there was a majority in favor of Jeremiah Townley Chase, Samuel Chase, John E. Mercer, and Benjamin Harrison, Esquires, who firmly concur in sentiment with the members for Baltimore and Harford counties."
For the NEW-YORK JOURNAL, &c. Mr. GREENLEAF.
You will be pleased to insert in your paper, the following extract of a letter from a gentleman of character, in one of the towns, in Montgomery county, in the state of Pennsylvania, to his friend in this city; dated March 6, 1788.
I HAVE let myself down at this place, and intend to become a farmer—the prospect of domestic happiness, for a long time before public business would permit me to remain at home with my family, were very flattering; but I now find myself much disappointed. A constitution has been formed for the government of the United States; and by the cunning deception, and address, of its advocates, has been precipitately adopted, by this state; since which, the fears of the people throughout the country are much alarmed. The address of the minority of our convention, has carried conviction through the state; communities are forming in every county, with a determination to prevent its taking place, in its present form; and I can assure you, that the opposition has become very general; in many counties it has scarce a man in its favor."

POET'S CORNER.
ON POLITICAL DISPUTES.
THE man who's resolute and just, Firm to his principles and trust, Nor hopes nor fears can blind; Nor passions his designs controul, No tyrant's whip his honest soul, Or shake his steady mind. Nor parties for revenge engag'd, Nor threatenings of a court enrag'd, Nor storms where fleets despair; Nor thunder-pointed at his head; The thatter'd world may strike him dead, Nor touch his soul with fear. The man whom selfish hopes inflame, Or vanity allures to fame, May be to fears betray'd; Tho' he to church for succour flies, Or other gospel-shop applies, They all refuse their aid. Let no false politics confine, In narrow bounds your vast design, To make mankind unite: Nor think it a sufficient cause, To punish men by penal laws, For not believing right. Columbia's sons with ardent zeal, Ever the wounded heart to heal, The wounded hand to bind; Let tools of arbitrary sway, And foes like locusts scour away, Before the western wind. Let party rage in all subsist, Let none in anger e'er deride, His brother for a thought; America may rule the deep, And all their sons securely sleep, Till thinking is a fault.

New-York, Elizabeth-Town, and Philadelphia New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit their favors of the public.
The stage will leave Pauls-Hook, every after- noon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Eli- zabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Eli- zabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line.
