The FEDERALIST, No. 13.
To the People of the State of New-York.
AS connected with the subject of revenue, we may with propriety consider that of economy. The money saved from one object may be usefully applied to another; and there will be so much the less to be drawn from the pockets of the people. If the States are united under one government, there will be but one national civil list to be provided for; and each of them, as to the principal departments, co-extensive with that which would be necessary for a government of the whole. The entire separation of the States into thirteen unconnected sovereignties is a project too extravagant and too replete with danger to have many advocates. The ideas of men who speculate upon the dismemberment of the empire, seem generally turned towards three confederacies; one consisting of the four northern, another of the four middle, and a third of the five southern States. There is little probability that there would be a greater number. According to this distribution each confederacy would comprise an extent of territory larger than that of the kingdom of Great-Britain. No well-informed man will suppose that the affairs of such a confederacy can be properly regulated by a government, less comprehensive in its organs or institutions, than that which has been proposed by the Convention. When the dimensions of a State attain to a certain magnitude, it requires the same energy of government and the same forms of administration, which are requisite in one of much greater extent. This idea admits not of precise demonstration, because there is no rule by which we can measure the momentum of civil power necessary to the government of any given number of individuals; but when we consider that the island of Britain, nearly commensurate with each of the supposed confederacies, contains about eight millions of people, and when we reflect upon the degree of authority required to direct the passions of so large a society to the public good, we shall see no reason to doubt that the like portion of power would be sufficient to perform the same task in a society far more numerous. Civil power properly organized and exerted is capable of diffusing its force to a very great extent; and can in a manner reproduce itself in every part of a great empire by a judicious arrangement of subordinate institutions.
The supposition, that each confederacy into which the States would be likely to be divided, would require a government not less comprehensive, than the one proposed, will be strengthened by another supposition, more probable than that which presents us with three confederacies as the alternative to a general union. If we attend carefully to geographical and commercial considerations, in conjunction with the habits and prejudices of the different States, we shall be led to conclude, that in case of disunion they will most naturally league themselves under two governments. The four eastern States, from all the causes that form the links of national sympathy and connexion, may with certainty be expected to unite. New-York, situated as she is, would never be unwise enough to oppose a feeble and unsupported flank to the weight of that confederacy. There are obvious reasons, that would facilitate her accession to it. New-Jersey is too small a State to think of being a frontier, in opposition to this still more powerful combination; nor do there appear to be any obstacles to her admission into it. Even Pennsylvania would have strong inducements to join the northern league. An active foreign commerce on the basis of her own navigation is her true policy, and coincides with the opinions and dispositions of her citizens. The more southern States, from various circumstances, may not think themselves much interested in the encouragement of navigation. They may prefer a system, which would give unlimited scope to all nations, to be the carriers as well as the purchasers of their commodities. Pennsylvania may not choose to confound her interests in a connection so adverse to her policy. As she must at all events be a frontier, she may deem it most consistent with her safety to have her exposed side turned towards the weaker power of the southern, rather than towards the stronger power of the northern confederacy. This would give her the fairest chance to avoid being the FLANDERS of America. Whatever may be the determination of Pennsylvania, if the northern confederacy includes New-Jersey, there is no likelihood of more than one confederacy to the south of that State.
Nothing can be more evident than that the thirteen States will be able to support a national government, better than one half, or one third, or any number less than the whole. This reflection must have great weight in obviating that objection to the proposed plan, which is founded on the principle of expense; an objection however, which, when we come to take a nearer view of it, will appear in every light to stand on mistaken ground.
If in addition to the consideration of a plurality of civil lists, we take into view the number of persons who must necessarily be employed to guard the inland communication, between the different confederacies, against illicit trade, and who in time will infallibly spring up out of the necessities of revenue; and if we also take into view the military establishments, which it has been shewn would unavoidably result from the jealousies and conflicts of the several nations, into which the States would be divided, we shall clearly discover, that a separation would be not less injurious to the economy than to the tranquillity, commerce, revenue and liberty of every part.
PUBLIUS.
The FEDERALIST, No. 14.
To the People of the State of New-York.
WE have seen the necessity of the union as our bulwark against foreign danger, as the conservator of peace among ourselves, as the guardian of our commerce and other common interests, as the only substitute for those military establishments which have subverted the liberties of the old world; and as the proper antidote for the diseases of faction, which have proved fatal to other popular governments, and of which alarming symptoms have
been betrayed by our own. All that remains, within this branch of our enquiries, is to take notice of an objection, that may be drawn from the great extent of country which the union embraces. A few observations on this subject will be the more proper, as it is perceived that the adversaries of the new constitution are availing themselves of a prevailing prejudice, with regard to the practicable sphere of republican administration, in order to supply by imaginary difficulties, the want of those solid objections, which they endeavor in vain to find.
The error which limits Republican Government to a narrow district, has been unfolded and refuted in preceding papers. I remark here only, that it seems to owe its rise and prevalence, chiefly to the confounding of a republic with a democracy: And applying to the former reasonings drawn from the nature of the latter. The true distinction between these forms was also adverted to on a former occasion. It is, that in a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person; in a republic they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents. A democracy consequently will be confined to a small spot. A republic may be extended over a large region.
To this accidental source of the error may be added the artifice of some celebrated authors, whose writings have had a great share in forming the modern standard of political opinions. Being subjects either of an absolute, or limited monarchy, they have endeavored to heighten the advantages or palliate the evils of those forms; by placing in comparison with them, the vices and defects of the republican, and by citing as specimens of the latter, the turbulent democracies of ancient Greece, and modern Italy. Under the confusion of names, it has been an easy task to transfer to a republic, observations applicable to a democracy only, and among others, the observation that it can never be established but among a small number of people, living within a small compass of territory.
Such a fallacy may have been the less perceived as most of the governments of antiquity were of the democratic species; and even in modern Europe, to which we owe the great principle of representation, no example is seen of a government wholly popular, and founded at the same time wholly on that principle. If Europe has the merit of discovering this great mechanical power in government, by the simple agency of which, the will of the largest political body may be concentrated, and its force directed to any object, which the public good requires; America can claim the merit of making the discovery the basis of unmixed and extensive republics. It is only to be lamented, that any of her citizens should wish to deprive her of the additional merit of displaying its full efficacy on the establishment of the comprehensive system now under her consideration.
As the natural limit of a democracy is that distance from the central point, which will just permit the most remote citizens to assemble as often as their public functions demand; and will include no greater number than can join in those functions; so the natural limit of a republic is that distance from the center, which will barely allow the representatives of the people to meet as often as may be necessary for the administration of public affairs. Can it be said, that the limits of the United States exceed this distance? It will not be said by those who recollected that the Atlantic coast is the longest side of the union; that during the term of thirteen years, the representatives of the States have been almost continually assembled; and that the members from the most distant States are not chargeable with greater interruptions of attendance, than those from the States in the neighbourhood of Congress.
That we may form a juster estimate with regard to this interesting subject, let us resort to the actual dimensions of the union. The limits as fixed by the treaty of peace are on the east the Atlantic, on the south the latitude of thirty-one degrees; on the west the Mississippi, and on the north an irregular line running in some instances beyond the forty-fifth degree, in others falling as low as the forty-second. The southern shore of Lake Erie lies below that latitude. Computing the distance between the thirty-one and forty-five degrees, it amounts to nine hundred and seventy-three common miles; computing it from thirty-one to forty-two degrees to seven hundred, sixty-four miles and an half. Taking the mean for the distance, the amount will be eight hundred, sixty-eight miles and three-fourths. The mean distance from the Atlantic to the Mississippi does not probably exceed seven hundred and fifty miles. On a comparison of this extent, with that of several countries in Europe, the practicability of rendering our system commensurate to it, appears to be demonstrable. It is not a great deal larger than Germany, where a Diet representing the whole empire is continually assembled; or than Poland before the late dismemberment, where another national Diet was the depository of the supreme power. Passing by France and Spain, we find that in Great Britain, inferior as it may be in size, the representatives of the northern extremity of the island, have as far to travel to the national Council, as will be required of those of the most remote parts of the union.
Favorable as this view of the subject may be, some observations remain which will place it in a light still more satisfactory.
In the first place it is to be remembered, that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments which can extend their care to all those other objects, which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity. Were it proposed by the plan of the Convention to abolish the governments of the particular States, its adversaries would have some ground for their objection, though it would not be difficult to shew that if they were abolished, the general government would be compelled by the principle of self-preservation, to reinstate them in their proper jurisdiction.
A second observation to be made is, that the immediate objects of the Federal Constitution is to secure the union of the Thirteen Primitive States, which we know to be indispensable; and to add to them such other States, as may arise in their own bosoms or in their neighbourhoods, which we cannot doubt to be equally practicable. The arrangements that may be necessary for those angles and fractions of our territory, which lie on our north western frontier, must be left to those whom fur-
ther discoveries and experience will render more equal to the task.
Let it be remarked in the third place, that the intercourse throughout the union will be daily facilitated by new improvements. Roads will every where be shortened, and kept in better order; accommodations for travellers will be multiplied and meliorated; an interior navigation on our eastern side will be opened throughout, or nearly throughout the whole extent of the Thirteen States. The communication between the western and Atlantic districts, and between different parts of each, will be rendered more and more easy by those numerous canals with which the beneficence of nature has interspersed our country, and which art finds it so little difficult to connect and complete.
A fourth and still more important consideration is, that as almost every State will on one side or other, be a frontier, and will thus find in a regard to its safety, an inducement to make some sacrifices for the sake of the general protection; so the States which lie at the greatest distance from the heart of the union, and which of course may partake least of the ordinary circulation of its benefits, will be at the same time immediately contiguous to foreign nations, and will consequently stand on particular occasions, in greatest need of its strength and resources. It may be inconvenient for Georgia or the States forming our western or north eastern borders to send their representatives to the seat of government, but they would find it more so to struggle alone against an invading enemy, or even to support alone the whole expense of those precautions, which may be dictated by the neighbourhood of continual danger. If they should derive less benefit therefore from the union in some respects, than the less distant States, they will derive greater benefit from it in other respects, and thus the proper equilibrium will be maintained throughout.
I submit to you my fellow citizens, these considerations, in full confidence that the good sense which has so often marked your decisions, will allow them their due weight and effect; and that you will never suffer difficulties, however formidable in appearance or however fashionable the error on which they may be founded, to drive you into the gloomy and perilous scene into which the advocates of dilution would conduct you. Harken not to the unnatural voice which tells you that the people of America, knit together as they are by so many chords of affection, can no longer live together as members of the same family; can no longer continue the mutual guardians of their mutual happiness; can no longer be fellow citizens of one great respectable and flourishing empire. Harken not to the voice which petulantly tells you that the form of government recommended for your adoption is a novelty in the political world; that it has never yet had a place in the theories of the wildest projectors; that it rashly attempts what it is impossible to accomplish. No my countrymen, shut your ears against this unhallowed language. Shut your hearts against the poison which it conveys; the kindred blood which flows in the veins of American citizens, the mingled blood which they have shed in defence of their sacred rights, consecrate their union, and excite horror at the idea of their becoming aliens, rivals, enemies. And if novelties are to be shunned, believe me the most alarming of all novelties, the most wild of all projects, the most rash of all attempts, is that of rending us in pieces, in order to preserve our liberties and promote our happiness. But why is the experiment of an extended republic to be rejected merely because it may comprise what is new? Is it not the glory of the people of America, that whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to overrule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience? To this manly spirit, posterity will be indebted for the possession, and the world for the example of the numerous innovations displayed on the American theatre, in favor of private rights and public happiness. Had no important step been taken by the leaders of the revolution for which a precedent could not be discovered, no government established of which an exact model did not present itself, the people of the United States might, at this moment, have been numbered among the melancholy victims of misguided councils, must at best have been labouring under the weight of some of those forms which have crushed the liberties of the rest of mankind. Happily for America, happily we trust for the whole human race, they pursued a new and more noble course. They accomplished a revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society: They reared the fabrics of governments which have no model on the face of the globe. They formed the design of a great confederacy, which it is incumbent on their successors to improve and perpetuate. If their works betray imperfections, we wonder at the fewness of them. If they erred most in the structure of the union; this was the work most difficult to be executed; this is the work which has been new modelled by the act of your Convention, and it is that act on which you are now to deliberate and to decide.

FOREIGN ADVICES.
LONDON, September 28.
On Saturday morning, Mr. Wm. Grenville set off to Paris with full power to endeavor to accommodate matters with that Court, but not to return without a decisive answer as to their future conduct; he carried in one hand the olive branch, and in the other, a rod of iron and the two-edged sword. The Admiralty Board, by directions of the Cabinet, put several more ships into commission, and dispatched express to Portsmouth and Plymouth, for the immediate sailing of the squadron, first for the protection of the home-ward-bound East-India fleet, of which there are 100 sail at sea; and next, to take their station off the port of Brest, to watch the motions of the French fleet.
Lord Howe, as President of the Admiralty, has given in to the Council an account of 17 ships of the line in commission, and ready for sea; and of 35 sail of the line in the Ordinaries with their sea stores on board, and ready for being commissioned in 48 hours; of which number, 11 are 3 deckers from 90 to 110 guns.
The Master General of the Ordnance on the same day gave notice to the corps of artillery to
hold themselves in readiness at an hour for service; and the victualling office received their instructions for the quantity of provisions and supplies that might be wanted.
On Friday also the Secretary at War, by his Majesty's commands, issued circular orders for an increase of the army, by the addition of two companies to each regiment, in order that each regiment shall, instead of 8 consist of 10 companies.
In consequence of advices being received on Friday by administration, of some hostile preparations & movements of the French, on account of the Prussian army having entered the States, the Lords of the Admiralty, at 9 o'clock in the evening signed and issued press warrants, which had been resolved on in case of necessity by his Majesty in Council on Wednesday last. The warrants were delivered with the utmost secrecy, and at one o'clock on Sunday morning the press commenced, and continued very hot until 8 o'clock, on both sides of the river, and by gallies up the river; the necessity of men was so urgent, that they stripped every vessel of all hands, except the Captains, nor would any remonstrance save either mates or apprentices. Before 9 o'clock upwards of 2000 men were impressed, none of whom underwent the usual form of being examined by a regulating Captain, but were immediately carried down to Blackwall, where tenders were in readiness to convey them to Chatham, to which place they set sail with the morning tide.
We are informed, that a few days ago one of our frigates, which was stationed off Brest, to watch the motions of the French, came up with a large transport, which the English Captain hailed, but to which the Commander of the French ship paid no attention; on this the frigate ran along side of her, and boarded her; the Frenchman immediately threw her papers overboard. On examination, she proved to be one of a fleet that had failed from Brest the day before.
It is confidently said, that M. de Bouille has failed for the West-Indies in a single ship, to take the command of the French troops.
AMSTERDAM, October 4.
At 4 o'clock in the morning of the 1st of this month, the Duke of Brunswick attacked this city, and a vigorous contest was maintained till about six. The ports of Muyden, Diemardam, Duiyendrick, Ouderkerk, and that of the Dyke of Hearnem, were assaulted at the same time. The enemy was repulsed from the four first mentioned ports with very great loss. The post of Ouderkerk sustained three different attacks in the space of three hours. Unable to withstand the fire from this place, the enemy abandoned their enterprise, which cost them dear. The post of the Dyke of Haerlem being attacked in two places, and by a superior force, was abandoned almost without resistance, and the auxiliaries who defended the place retired without loss. The post of Amstelveen was carried by the Prussians in the forenoon; and it is said it might have been better defended. The loss of this port occasioned Ouderkerk to be evacuated, for, by the above event, it would have been situated between two fires, & could not possibly have been defended. An armistice for an unlimited time ensued; and each party is to give twelve hours notice before the recommencement of hostilities. We do not expect that the contention will be renewed, as fresh negotiation are begun. The number of killed and wounded is not known.
DUBLIN, October 6.
Letters were on Friday received in town from London, which mention that Mr. Grenville had not received a very satisfactory reply to his inquiries at the Court of France, the French Minister having declared, that as Britain had proceeded to arm, in so extraordinary a manner, it became necessary for the French nation to imitate her example, until they had made equal preparation. Mr. Grenville could not be satisfied as to the particular points which were the objects of his mission. It is probable the next packets will satisfy the public respecting Mr. Grenville's success, as it is expected he has by this time arrived from Paris, and we hope to be informed, what more agreeable informations than what those letters state is the issue of his visit.
UNITED STATES.
New-York, November 30.
We are informed, that a gentleman in Philadelphia has received a letter from Holland, which says, That the Stadtholder has opened the sluices of Amsterdam, and laid the whole city under water; that he had taken possession of Rotterdam, where he immediately caused seven of the patriots to be executed, and that the French and English have remained passive spectators of this tragical scene. (Penn. Jour.)
The merchants of Dublin, aided by some powerful noblemen and gentlemen of great landed property, are about establishing a company, to trade to America, the West-Indies, and the coast of Africa.
A Baltimore paper of Nov. 20, says, 'In Sept. last, Col. Joseph Brandt, the celebrated Indian partisan, had a great council at Niagara, consisting of some of the principal chiefs of the six nations and Messengers; shortly after the council broke up, Col. Brandt set out for Detroit, up Lake Erie, with two sloops and seventeen batteaux, loaded with Warriors, ammunition and provisions; a few days previous to his departure, he was heard to say, that the Long-Knife (meaning the Virginians) were very troublesome, and paid little regard to treaties—that he would pay them a visit, and could treat with them upon a par, being accompanied by the tomahawk, as the Long Knife are always by the bayonet, and if they were for peace, they should have it; but if for war, they should find that war accompanied him also.'
The State Convention of Pennsylvania, now convened in Philadelphia, have chosen for their President, the Hon. Frederick Muhlenberg, and James Campble, Esq. Secretary.
Lately died in Boston, after a tedious illness, Mr. JOHN GREEN, aged 56 years, formerly a respectable Printer of that town.

Captain Wells, in the ship Independence, from Patowmack, arrived at Bourdeaux the 23d of September, after a passage of 88 days, without water or provisions; he spoke a Swedish vessel which furnished him with a barrel of pork and a few fish.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in Boston, dated in August last.
Mr. Copley, (your townman) is now closely engaged in a painting that bids fair to raise his reputation still higher. This is a very large Historical Piece that represents the destruction of the Spanish floating batteries in the attack on Gibraltar, in the year 1780. The city of London, I see by the papers, is to pay him 1300l. for it when finished—his other works, viz. The Boy and Shark—the death of Lord Chatham—the death of Major Pier-son , in the island of Jersey— the Three young Prin-cesses , and a group of Mr. Sitwell's family , have been severally admired, by all who have seen them, and meet with the full applause of connoisseurs."
By Capt. Lewis, in the brig Tybal , arrived at Boston, on the 20th inst. in 37 days from Lisbon, in Portugal, we learn, that the Prussian army had taken the city of Amsterdam—that 20 sail of the line, of France, were under sailing orders; their destination unknown—and that the commotions which have long agitated Europe, were likely to produce a general war.
Extract of a letter from Fort-Pitt, dated Oct. 23 "The Indians in general seem to be ill disposed to the States—they are killing people about Wheel-ing on both sides of the river frequently."
On Wednesday evening, was married by the Rev. Dr. Kuntze, Mr. B. BOHLEN, merchant of Philadelphia, to Miss JOHANNA MAGDA-LENA OSWALD, daughter of Mr. P. Oswald, of this city. (Mass. Centinel.)

The Hon. GEORGE MASON's Ob-jections to the New Constitution.
THERE is no declaration of rights, and of the laws of the general government being paramount to the laws and constitutions of the several States, the declarations of rights in the separate States are no se-curity. Nor are the people secured even in the en-joyment of the benefit of the common law, which stands here upon no other foundation than its having been adopted by the respective acts forming the con-stitutions of the several States.
In the House of Representatives there is not the substance, but the shadow only of representation; which can never produce proper information in the Legislature, or inspire confidence in the people; the laws will therefore be generally made by men little concerned in, and unacquainted with their effects and consequences.*
The Senate have the power of altering all money bills, and of originating appropriations of money, and the salaries of the officers of their own appoint-ment, in conjunction with the President of the Unit-ed States; although they are not the Representatives of the people, or amenable to them.—These, with their other great powers (viz. their powers in the appointment of Ambassadors, and all public officers, in making treaties, and in trying all impeachments) their influence upon and connection with the Su-preme Executive from these causes, their duration of office, and their being a constant exiling body almost continually sitting, joined with their being one complete branch of the Legislature, will destroy any balance in the government, and enable them to ac-complish what usurpations they please upon the rights and liberties of the people.
The Judiciary of the United States is so construct-ed and extended, as to absorb and destroy the Judi-ciaries of the several States; thereby rendering law as tedious, intricate and expensive, and justice as un-attainable by a great part of the community, as in England; and enabling the rich to oppress and ruin the poor.
The President of the United States has no Con-stitutional Council (a thing unknown in any safe and regular government) he will therefore be un-sup-ported by proper information and advice; and will generally be directed by minions and favourites—or he will become a tool to the Senate—or a Coun-cil of State will grow out of the principal officers of the great departments; the worst and most danger-ous of all ingredients for such a Council, in a free country; for they may be induced to join in any dangerous or oppressive measures, to shelter them-selves, and prevent an inquiry into their own mis-conduct in office: Whereas had a constitutional council been formed (as was proposed) of six mem-bers, viz. two from the eastern, two from the mid-dle, and two from the southern States, to be appoint-ed by vote of the States in the House of Represen-tatives, with the same duration and rotation of office as the Senate, the Executive would always have had safe and proper information and advice: The Pre-sident of such a Council might have acted as Vice-President of the United States, pro tempore , upon any vacancy or disability of the Chief Magistrate; and long continued sessions of the Senate would in a great measure have been prevented. From this fatal defect of a constitutional council, has arisen the improper power of the Senate, in the appointment of public officers, and the alarming dependence and connection between that branch of the Legislature and the Supreme Executive. Hence also sprung that unnecessary and dangerous officer, the Vice-President, who for want of other employment, is made President of the Senate; thereby dangerously blending the Executive and Legislative powers; besides always giving to some one of the States an unnecessary and unjust pre-eminence over the others.
The President of the United States has the unre-strained power of granting pardons for treason; which may be sometimes exercised to screen from punishment those whom he had secretly instigated to commit the crime, and thereby prevent a dis-covery of his own guilt. By declaring all treaties supreme laws of the land, the Executive and the Senate have in many cases, an exclusive power of Legislation; which might have been avoided, by proper distinctions with respect to treaties, and requiring the assent of the House of Representa-tives, where it could be done with safety. Under their own construction of the general clause at the end of the enumerated powers, the Congress may grant monopolies in trade and commerce, consti-tute new crimes, inflict unusual and severe punish-ment, and extend their power as far as they shall think proper; so that the State Legislatures have no security for the powers now presumed to remain
* This objection has been in some degree lessened, by an amendment, often before refused, and at last made by an erasure, after the engrossment upon parchment, of the word FORTY, and inserting THIRTY, in the 3d clause of the 2d section of the 1st article.
to them; or the people for their rights. There is no declaration of any kind for preserving the liberty of the press, the trial by jury in civil causes, nor a-gainst the danger of standing armies in time of peace. The State Legislatures are restrained from lay-ing export duties on their own produce—the ge-neral Legislature is restrained from prohibiting the further importations of slaves for twenty odd years, though such importations render the United States weaker, more vulnerable, and less capable of defence.—Both the general Legislature, and the State Legislature, are expressly prohibited making ex post facto laws, though there never was, nor can be a Legislature but must and will make such laws, when necessity and the public safety require them; which will hereafter be a breach of all the constitutions in the union, and afford prece-dents for other innovations.
This government will commence in a moderate aristocracy; it is at present impossible to foresee whether it will, in its operation, produce a monar-chy, or a corrupt oppressive aristocracy; it will most probably vibrate some years between the two, and then terminate in the one or the other.

P R E S E N T, The Hon. Peter Ogilvie, Esq. Judge of the said Court.
WHEREAS Stephen Haight, administrator of John Sherwood, late of Coxhacker, in the county of Albany, yeoman, deceased, hath by his petition presented to the said Judge set forth, that the said John Sherwood, was at the time of his death, seized of a real estate within this State; that the petitioner had made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said John Sherwood, as far as he had been able to discover the same; and that thereby it appeared that the personal estate of his said intestate was insufficient to pay his debts, and therefore requested the aid of the said Judge in the premises, according to the directions of the act, entitled, 'an act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates'; and the said petitioner hath delivered to the said Judge the account in the said petition mentioned: Hereupon it is ordered by the said Judge, that all persons in-terested in the estate of the said John Sherwood, do appear before the Judge of the said Court of Pro-bates, at the Probate Office in the city of New-York, on the 19th day of January next, to shew cause if any they have, why so much of the real e-state whereof the said John Sherwood died, seized, should not be sold as will be sufficient to pay his debts. 1 54 4 PETER OGILVIE.

ODE TO ADVERSITY.
IF on this roof high Heaven should send, Thy hand corrective fair, Submissive teach my soul to bend, But keep her from despair.
Fate's awful word must sure be just, Then let me kiss the rod; Nor worn with woe at all distrust The goodness of my GOD.
The hand who form'd my inmost thoughts, Must needs be great and wise; And he who best perceives my faults, The fittest to chastise.
Then till life's latest sands are run, O teach me power divine; To cry, my God, thy will be done, Whate'er becomes of mine.

Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize, saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Bourke, John Donnán and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M c Cormick for Hyem Cohen, and by William Cock for Richard Hall.
W HEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Fergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Bells and Peter Noyes, junior, as passengers, and Malcom Taylor, and Henry Harris, as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port Roseway, have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London, in Connecticut, on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 40 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her foremast standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New-York, and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Bourke and John Donnán, of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker, that the said merchandise so saved and brought to the port of New-York, consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks and numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 102, 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185, one other hoghead of sugar, marked F. S. 1 hoghead of spirits, marked E. [enclosed with a diamond] No. 6, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 4, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 5, one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. R. No. 3, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7, one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8, and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9, thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the newspapers printed in New-York, the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Bourke and John Donnán, on behalf of John Shauman, master, and Samuel Nesbitt, mate, Malcom Taylor, Martin George, John Harper, Swiney Wilson and Alexander M c Kenzie, mariners, and Richard Hall, owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M c Cormick, of the city of New-York, merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen, of the Island of Jamaica, hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sales of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cock, of the city of New-York, Esq. for and on behalf of Richard Hall, of Shelburne, in Nova-Scotia, as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway, hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M c Kenzie and Malcom Taylor, two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway, at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the deserted vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson, which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said deserted vessel was a stout vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-irons round it, that she had black sides and yellow mouldings, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast, as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck.—Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public notification and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandise, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of the date of this monition and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787. By order of the Court of Admiralty, JOHN GRAHAM, Marshal. 39
