ON PITY.
BY GCNKRAL BURGOYNE.
SOFT Pity never leaves the gentle breast,
Where Love ha* been recciv'd the welcome guest,
A* wandering faints poor huts h.'ve sacred made,
He hallows cvtiy heart he once has sway d;
And when his prcfence we no longer .. are,
He leaves Com pas»i on as a relic there.

THE King having taken information 011 the arret pronounced
in his council the 28th December last, prohibiting the importation
of whale oil and fpermacxti, the produce of foreign fifheries, into
the kingdom, observing that oil made from sea calves and other
fifh, and sea animals, not being comprehended in the said airet, a
fraudulent importation of whale oil might take place under the
name of the aforefaid oils; and that on the other hand it might be
inferred from the tenor ot the said arret, that oils th. prorluce of
the fifheries of United States were prohibited : And his Majesty
wifhingto remove every doubt 011 this head, to provide therefore
for the fame, having heard the report of the Sicur Lambert, Coun
cilor of State inordinary, and of the Council of Dispatches and
royal Council of Finances and Commerce, the King being pre
sent in his Council, has ordained and does ordain, that reckoning
from the fiift day of April next, oil made from sea calves, and
from filh and other sea animals, produced from foreign fifheries,
as well as whale-bone produced in like manner from the said fo
reign fifheries, sHall be prohibited from importation into the king
dom, without permitting the said prohibition nevertheless to ex
tend either to the said kinds of oils, or to the said whale oils and
fpermacacti, or the whale-bone produced from the fifheries of the
United States of America, and imported directly into France in
French vefTels, or those belonging to the fubji £ts of the said United
States; which shall continue to be provisionally admitted, agreea
ble to the firft atid third article of the arret of the 29th of Decem
ber last; on candition however, that the captains of the said vefTels
belonging to the United States, bring with them certificates from
the Consuls of France residing in the ports of the said United States,
or where these cannot be obtained, from the Magistrates of the
places where the embarkation of the said oil shall be made, for the
purpose of proving that the-cargo of the said vt flels is the produce
of the fifheries carried on by the citizens of the United States;
which certificates fhaii be presented to the Officers of the Admi
ralty, also to the Commiflioners of the Farms, in the ports of
France where it shall be landed, to be mentioned in the port of
their arrival.

Subject to a deduction of twelve and a half per cent.
The public utility of extending this wharf, is too evident to re
quire any comment, to those who are acquainted with thetowa
and harbour of New-Haven; to those who are not, fuffice it tt> fay,
that its beautiful situation is not furpafled, if equalled by any ; be
ing in the heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be f«jid
to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the lound
but by realon of the flats, this wharf is netefiarily extended to the
channel, where ships can load and unload ; and when corftplcat
ed, will be the moll extensive and commodious wharf in America,
the whole extent being about 3>4thk of a mile; and not only the
mercantile interest of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the
maritime interest of all the. States will be benefited by it. The
general wish that prevails in the minds of all clafTes of people, for
thcfuccefsof this enterprise, together with the very great advan
tage which this scheme holds out to adventurers (there being more
capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet published in
Ameriea) induce the managers to believe the tickets w ill meet with
a fpecdy sale.
The drawing will pofuivcly commence at the State-House, in
>Jew-Haven, on the 13th of September next, or sooner ? if the
tickets are fold.
A lift of the fortunate numbers will be published, and the prizes
paid on demand, by the managers. Those prizes not called for in
nine months after drawing, will be deemed as generously given
for the ufc of the wharf, and appropriated accordingly.
