pofcd by the Chief Judges of the feve-
ral ftates, together with the Chief Juf-
tice of the .United States. To all which
Mr. Yates gave an affirmative anfw^r.
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.

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.

From tbe^r^nia Independer^ Chrdnide.
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.
