NEW-YORK, January 30.
A bill lias been debated in the Assembly (but no
qneftion taken) for felling tothe New-Y«rk Bank
all the fiz per cent (lock of this state at par, or do
mir.a! wthle : 'the purcTiaie ttior.tr to f.i pi:d JBc?.
and] the bank to pay 6 per cent ißteieit half yearly
on the 6 percent stock, and die fame intereli oh
the deferred stock after the year 1800.
A bill is before the Senate far the gracl I abo
lition of flsvery, and another for improving the
criminal police of the City of New-York.
It is already published that the bill for granting
relief to the fufferers at Savannah has been rtje&ed
by the Assembly of this State. On this occafian,
it may be proper to state that thefum of 5
dollars was raised by fubfeription in Philadelphia,
for thorfufferers in Charleston by fire lalt year.
Confiderahle sums were raised inßahimore and. oth
er towns for the fame humane purpose. The-Le
giflature of Pennsylvania have granted 15,000 dol
lars for the relief of Savannah ; but not a billing has
been sent from New York, one of the 'icheli states
in the union. Yet in Charleston, which had fuf
fered five times more than New-York by fire, in
proportion to its numbers and wealth, no sootier
was the late fire known in Charleston, thin ajiublic
j»ropofition was made to enquire whether any per
son in New-Yoik had been reduced ta distress, and
if so, to open a'fnbfcription immediately for their
relief. The fact is stated without a ceramtßt.
The French Directory have written a letter ef
condolence to the mother of Gen. Marceau, on the
death of that brave officer.
From a Charleston paper of the xo:h inftint.
A gentleman of this city has received a letter
from his friend lb the Havannah, which mentions
that Mr. Thomas Mnir, one of the gentltrtien who
were transported to Botany Bay by the British go
vernment, about three years ago, had arrived in
that city a short nine fnice.
The account he gave of himfelf was, that he elu
ded the vigilance of his keepers at Botany Bay,
and got on board of a vefTel which carried him to
Nootka Sound ; that he v. ent amongst the Indians,
and, after travelling nearly the whole length of the
weft coait of America, he got to Panama; and
there he made himfelf known to the governor, who
sent him across the Isthmus of Barien to La Vera
1 Cruz; from iheuoe, he was-fent in a Spanish fri
gate to the Havannah, wheie he expe&ed to get on
1 board an American vefTel and reach the United
' States, but unfortunatly fer him, a letter was feat
by lire governor of La Vera Crur to the governor
1 of the Hayannali, in which he mentions, that tho'
. he had shewn Mr. Mnir every civility in hi»J>owrr,
yet he thought that a man pYofeffing his principles
• would be dangerous in the Spanish dominions ; ■
iherefore+ie recommended his being sent to Spain!
. for the king to determine what should be done with ■
i him. After being a few days at the Havannah,
he was committed to a prifdn on the north fide ©f
3 Cuba, called La Principa, where he is to remain
' until a proner conveyance offers to carry him to
Spain. His confinement is not rigorous, and eve
.l ry indulgence is shewn to him that is not incompat
ible with his lituatien. The gentleman who writes
- the letter containing this account, conversed with
Jj Mr Muir, who was much disappointed at not meet
ing an American agent there, as he had hoped,
thro' his interiefiion, to be relesfed, and be permit
ted to fail for this continent.
