NASSAU , (Providence) May 10. In Dominica, the disputes between Mr. Orde and the inhabitants have risen to a height that precludes all prospect of accommodation. The Caribbean Register (a newspaper printed there) teems with letters, paragraphs, and advertisements, arraigning the conduct of their Chief Magistrate; and a pamphlet containing letters by a Dominica essayist, under the signature of Junius Minor , attacking in the most acrimonious language the administration of the colony, has made its appearance, and is circulated with uncommon industry. The charges advanced against the Governor are of the most serious nature: But his Excellency is not without his advocates; and, in several instances, in some of them successfully, they combat the arguments and allegations of his antagonists.
May 31. Without an arrival these six weeks from England—without information in any degree interesting from any other quarter—and destitute of those resources of domestic intelligence which larger communities afford—under circumstances so unfavorable to a news-monger, can our readers look for any thing from us even tolerable in the way of entertainment? With equal propriety might fresh vegetables be asked for on board a ship several months from land, or an epicure be chagrined at not meeting with the delicacies of a London tavern on a desert island. But it may be said, why complain of want of matter while the domestic politics, which engage the attention of our little public, furnish so much? On this ground, we confess, our wish is to tread lightly, as we would endeavor rather to heal than to wound, to reconcile than to irritate. Yet it is a duty we owe our readers not to let these matters, however delicate, pass over altogether unobserved.
With the arrival of our Governor, many fondly annexed the idea of a termination to all party disputes in this Colony. As a measure that would have led to the accomplishment of this desirable event, the dissolution of the present House of Assembly was considered by a considerable body of the people indispensably necessary. This not taking place, about two months after Lord Dunmore's arrival, an address and memorial, praying that the Assembly might be dissolved, was set on foot in this town, and after receiving 181 signatures, was presented to his Lordship. The example was followed by the inhabitants of Exuma, Long-Island, Abaco, and Cat-Island. These papers, together with a recasting address from Long-Island, are before the public, who must determine on their respective merits and claims to attention. Let that determination, however, be what it may, the Assembly still exists, and party spirit distracts the Colony as much as ever.
People at a distance from a place where party disputes prevail, generally take it for granted that riots, and other interruptions of the public tranquillity, must frequently occur there. Just as this generally received opinion may be in other cases, it is not applicable to the present; for never did a town, where the most rigid police was enforced, exhibit a more peaceable, orderly and quiet demeanor in its inhabitants, than this town does. And this is not imputable to the exertions of a magistracy any ways remarkable for vigilance.
Some there are who do not hesitate to say, that party disputes have, in no small degree, contributed to the prosperity of the Bahama's—"they have," say the advocates of this doctrine, "raised into distinction, Islands heretofore only known by the difficulties and dangers they present to the incautious, ignorant, or unfortunate navigator." They have arrested the attention of the King's ministers, and occasioned enquiries which demonstrate the consequences of this colony to the mother country. If to avoid party contention, individuals have left the town and retired to the out Islands, the effect to the public, as well as to themselves, is beneficial. Here were few opportunities of exercising their industry to advantage; while there the cultivation of cotton offered reward to their toils, and has afforded it. If the contentions alluded to have caused divisions in society, they have at the same time knit more closely the bands of private friendship. If the officers of government have experienced difficulty in effecting any favorite measure, the necessity obviating all opposition by making the general welfare and public interest the sole objects of their administration, has been the more strongly evinced." This kind of argument may be thought to favor of Optimism —or of the reasoning of the French patriot, who contemplating disasters that had recently befallen his country, exclaimed, Mais il faut s'en consoler, Dieu merci il n'est pas pis!
Whatever regard may be due to these arguments, it is an unquestionable fact that the riches of the colony, as far as depends on agriculture, have been increased: On this Island the cotton crops have been good; but on Exuma and Long-Island, the sanguine expectations of the planter have, in some instances been exceeded. The more remote from the range of the N. W. winds, the more favorable in these Islands is found to be the situation for cotton planting. Experience, dearly bought, has informed the cotton planters on New-Providence, that their fields were much too large, and that they committed an irremediable error in cutting down the woods which sheltered them from the N. and N. W. winds.
Last year the quantity of clean cotton exported from these Islands, was nearly 150 tons—it is confidently expected, our exports in that article this year will reach 250 tons; and that the increase next year, will be in a still greater proportion.
Some gentlemen from Grenada, were here last week. Their errand was to inform themselves of the situation of the country, and of the success of the cotton planters. The result of their enquiries and observations has, we hope, determined them to come and settle among us.  June 21. At a meeting of the merchants and traders at this place, on Wednesday last, it was agreed, that after the first day of August next, they will keep their books of accounts in pounds, shillings and pence, instead of pieces of eight and reals, agreeable to the currency established by the Legislature in their last session—and that they will continue the old par of exchange with Great Britain, viz. three shillings and sixpence sterling the piece of eight, or six shillings currency, i. e. 171 3-7 currency, for 100 sterling.

the present state of the business that would not be attended with a bad effect."
June 28. The sloops Active , Fisher , Polly and Fanny , Logan , and John , Coakly , arrived here on Sunday the 22d instant, with wrecked goods, consisting of Coffee, Sugar, Cotton, Indigo, and Dye Woods; saved from four wrecked vessels, found deserted on the Hogfies, Henequana and French Keys .
On Tuesday last, died at Mr. Bailou's plantation on this Island, Doctor GEORGE KEMP . The immediate cause of his death, is supposed to have been a coup de soleil, or a fainting fit brought on by excessive fatigue in walking during the heat of the day. Every effort to recover him was in vain exerted. In the night his remains were brought to town, and on Wednesday were attended to the Scotch burying ground by a numerous train of his friends.
CHARLESTON , (S.C.) July 10.
Extract of a letter from Georgetown, July 8. "Saturday last we had a tremendous storm of rain, hail and wind, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which did a great deal of damage. About 11 o'clock in the forenoon Messrs. Albert Roux and Co's house on the bay was struck by the lightning, and set on fire, which communicated to some gun-powder in the store and cellar, and caused an explosion which entirely demolished the building. Captain Roux , Mr. Lewis Roux , Captain Moore , a young man who attended the store, and a negro, were, buried in the ruins for a time, but were providentially extricated from their perilous situation, without sustaining any other injury than receiving a few slight bruises, and the papers, books of accounts, goods, &c. the property of Messrs. Roux , were luckily saved. The activity of the inhabitants, who flocked from all quarters and cheerfully lent their assistance, prevented the fire from extending any further. During the storm a new erected house was thrown down, and several others were unroofed."

Copy of a letter from a gentleman in Poughkeepsie, to the Printer, dated Friday, July 25, 1788.
"On Wednesday the Convention finished the consideration of the amendments, and took up the proposition of adopting the Constitution with three conditions annexed. Mr. Jones moved to insert the words in full confidence , instead of the words upon condition . Mr. M. Smith rose and declared his determination to vote against a condition. He urged that however it might otherwise be presumed he was consistent in his principles and conduct. He was as thoroughly convinced then as he ever had been, that the Constitution was radically defective—amendments to it had always been the object of his pursuit, and until Virginia came in, he had reason to believe they might have been obtained previous to the operation of the Government. He was now satisfied they could not, and it was equally the dictate of reason and duty to quit his first ground, and advance so far as that they might be received into the Union. He should hereafter pursue his important and favorite object of amendments, with equal zeal as before, but in a practicable way; which was only in the mode prescribed by the Constitution. On the first suggestion of the plan then under consideration, he thought it might have answered the purpose; but from the reasonings of gentlemen in opposition to it, and whose opinions alone would deservedly have vast weight in the national councils, as well as from the sentiments of persons abroad, he was now persuaded the proposition would not be received, however doubtful it might appear, considered merely as an abstract and speculative question. The thing must now be abandoned as fallacious, for if persisted in, it would certainly prove in the event, only a dreadful deception to those who were serious for joining the Union. He then placed in a striking and affecting light, the situation of this State in case we should not be received by Congress. Convulsions in the Southern part, factions and discord in the rest. The strength of his own party, who were seriously anxious for amending the Government, would be dissipated; their union lost—their object probably defeated—and they would, to use the simple figurative language of scripture, be dispersed like sheep on a mountain. He therefore concluded that it was no more than a proper discharge of his public duty, as well as the most advisable way of obtaining the great end of his opposition, to vote against any proposition which would not be received as a ratification of the Constitution."
He was followed by Mr. G. Livingston, who spoke something to the same effect—Judge Platt rose and only observed, that what he should do would be the dictate of his conscience, and that he should always obey firmly the determination of his judgment.
In reply to this, the President observed, that whatever his opinion might be, he stood there as a representative of the County of Ulster—that he should therefore pursue what he believed to be the sense of that County, and vote for the conditional adoption.
The question was then taken, and carried by a majority of two against a conditional adoption:—There were 60 Members present, besides the Chairman. I will give you the yeas and nays, tho' I believe not in the order in which they are entered on the journal.
For Mr. Jones's amendment, for striking out the condition to the adoption:
  9 Members from New-York,   2 ————— King's County,   2 ————— Richmond do.   6 ————— Westchester do.   4 ————— Queen's do.   Havens, } J. Smith, } Scudder, } Platt, } M. Smith, } G. Livingston, } De Witt, } Williams, — Suffolk do.   Total 31. Washington do. 
Against Mr. Jones' amendment.
  6 Members from Ulster County,   4 ————— Orange do.   3 ————— Columbia do.   6 ————— Montgomery,   Swartout, } Akin, } R. Yates, } J. Lansing, jun. } Ten Eyck, } Thompson, } Hopkins, } Parker, } Baker, } Tredwell, — Dutchess do.   Total 29. Albany do.   Washington do.   Suffolk do. 
I have been rather particular in stating the business of Wednesday to you, because I think it is of a decisive nature; and I was so well pleased with Smith's speech, that I have given you the substance of it with fidelity, and as nearly as I could in his own language.
Yesterday Mr. Lansing moved to annex Mr. Smith's last proposition to the ratification, or the one which proposes to adopt with a reservation of a right to withdraw; then Mr. Jay, and after him Mr. Hamilton, rose and declared that the reservation could answer no good purpose in itself—that it implied a distrust of the other States—that it would awaken their pride and other passions unfriendly to the object of amendments; but what was decisive against it, it was inconsistent with the Constitution, and was no ratification.
Mr. Hamilton produced and read part of a letter from a gentleman of high public distinction, containing in explicit terms his opinion that the reservation would amount to a conditional ratification, and would not be received by Congress. Mr. Duane and the Chancellor both declared their opinion to the same effect, and they all concurred in expressing an anxious wish, that since the House had proceeded so far to an accommodation, they might now conclude the business with harmony and to the satisfaction of both parties. Mr. Smith remained silent all the day; the question was postponed till to-day.
Friday, July 25. The question was brought on this morning. Mr. Smith made a short speech, declaring his object in originally bringing forward the proposition. He had hoped it would unite both sides; but as he found it would not, and that there was no alternative between adopting and rejecting the Constitution, he should vote against the proposition. It was carried against it by a majority of three. Thank God we have now got the Constitution; I congratulate you. I will give you the yeas and nays, and you may rely on the accuracy of it.

Extract of another letter from the same Gentleman, wrote on Friday afternoon, shortly after he had closed the foregoing.
"The Committee just this moment rose and reported, the President in the chair, the QUESTION called, and the House AGREED to the Report by a MAJORITY of FIVE; 30 for it, 25 against it.—There were several Members out of doors,
but they were all for us. Let us mingle an ejaculation to Heaven for our success.—All they have to do is to engross the Ratification."
Extract of another Letter from a Member of the Convention at Poughkeepsie, to his Correspondent in Staten-Island, dated half past three o'clock Friday afternoon.
"The Convention has this minute adjourned to meet again at 5 o'clock, and, in the intermediate space have but just time to communicate to you our success. The Constitution has, comparatively speaking, undergone an ordeal torture, and been preserved, as by fire. We have this day completed an unconditional Adoption of it—Yeas 30, Nays 25."
"Let all around you, and particularly Mr. B—, partake of this information, that they may likewise partake of the general joy, which must animate every lover of his country, and friend to the Union, on the tidings of so auspicious an event."
"We are in hopes to be with you by Tuesday next. We will say no more until we meet. May the God of Heaven protect and preserve you all; this is our wish flowing from the purest affection."

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber in- tends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfac- tion to those who may please to employ him, (fig- nified by their becoming subscribers) as he is deter- mined to join unremitted assiduity to the pain laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encourage- ment of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the- words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, with foremen, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such man- ner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be re- gularly swept once every month, (or oftener if requi- red) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this of- fice, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire be- gin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general pub- lic utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in faulty chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
