On Mr. Jay s propofing to Mr. Yates fome queftions, with a view to fet the matter in the moft explicit point of light, Mr. Yates anfwered ^ before, that Col. Hamilton’s defign did not ap pear to him to point at a total extin- guilhment of ftate governments, but only to deprive them of the means of impeding the operation of the Union. Some explanations were attempted by Mr.Lanfing, but as Mr. Jay was al-, ready on his legs, the gentleman was called to order*. Mr. Lanfing after wards exprefled a wifli that Mr. Yates’s notes might be r^ad, but it was not permitted on the fuggeftion that it ought to be brought forward by a for mal motion, according to the rule of the houfe. Mr. Lanfing not feeing fit to comply with this, the affair was terminated by a motion to adjourn.

ExtraSi oj a letter Dan-- fuilleyjum^^ 1788. The news from this country is exceedingly unfavourable ; the Indi ans have done us more mifehief this year, than for at Icaft four years paft. Scarce a boat can pafs below Limeflon but what is attacked by them : fix or feven have beeil taken, fome with va luable lading. By a prifoiier whoef- caped from them, we are informed^ that the Indians have procured a boat, or rather a kind of floating battery, with the (ides built high and bullet proofs this boat is llationed near the mouth of the Great Miami. They lately took a boat, in which was a Capt. Afhby ^ith his family; a fon of Capt, Afliby’s having been very fpirited^n oppofiti- on, the fav^es immediately put him to death, cut out his heart and broiled it, which they devoured in theprefcncc of the unhappy father, who^has fince made liis efcape from them and come in.

Previns to the adjournment-.ftf i-he late Convention, a propofition was made by Mr. Mafon, that the minority (hould meet at the public buildings and prepare an addieis to reconcile the minds of their cunihtuents to the new piati of government. Accordingly a very full racing was had, when to their furprife an addrefs was offered for their fignaturcs, tend ing to irritate, rather than to quiet the public mind. A number of that rcfpcdable body immediately withdrew; others for fome time either remained in filcnce, or, in general terms recommended temper and moderation,—till at length, Ben jamin Harrilon, Efq. of Charles City, role, and in a firm and manly ftilc op- pofed not only the addrefs which had been read, but ^arneflly recommended an .adjournment, without taking any farther lleps in the bafiiicfs'.—He ob- ^ lerved-ils and inde.>:eL( c.it men, in oppoling the conduunoiij but as it had bc;n adopt ed by a majority of their countrymen, it became their duty to fubmit as good citizens, until thofe dcffru6live confe- quenccs to their liberty (hould appear, which the minority apprehended, in which, however, he hoped they would be mutaken. lie reminded them of their promifes in convention to unite the people in the opinion of the majo rity,,and by their precept and exainr pie, endeavour to (ccure harmony and order among their Icllow-citizcns.—- The opinioa was fupported by the HortoiaDle John TylerandGcn Law- fon fo iuccciitully, that Mr. Mafon diicoveririg tneir fentiments to prevail generally, prudently and with temper, withdrew his addrefs. An adjourn- . ment took place. It is to be hoped, that the laudable example of thofe patriots will^e followed by their conftituents, and that the fears of thife who have oppofed the new govern ment, will be fhortly removed.
