"MY LORDS,

The regard your lordships have shown for the welfare of his majesty's colonies on this continent, by giving them an opportunity of representing what may be further necessary for their encouragement in raising naval stores, and other commodities fit for Britain, deserves very particular acknowledgments, and I am in behalf of this province to make theirs to your lordships on this occasion.

Your secretary's letter on this subject, with its duplicate, did not reach my hands till the latter end of last month, and before I proceed to answer it by this first conveyance that has since offered for London, I must beg leave to observe to your lordships, that it is the whole study of the merchants here to contrive ways for making returns to Britain to pay for those great quantities of their manufactures that are daily brought hither, and it is not without the utmost difficulty that they are able to accomplish it; whatever encouragements therefore are given for such commodities as this country is capable of pro lucing, fit for returns directly to Britain, will manifestly tend to increase our importations from

thence.

Of naval stores, my lords, this province produces those two valuable commodities, hemp and iron. The first has not as yet been raised in any great quantities, the price of labour being high, though many are going upon it; but as there are large tracts of land fit for that produce, it is to be hoped that a continuance of the same bounty now given may in time, when wages are lowered by the number of inhabitants, enable us to make considerable returns in it.

As to iron, it is generally allowed, that what is produced here is as fine and good as any whatsoever, but the great expense that attends works of that kind, in a country where labour is so dear, has given no small damp to these undertakings: on a suitable encourage ment, I am persuaded, that this province, and some of the adjacent colonies, may be able to import such quantities of pig metal and bar iron, as may very greatly abate the necessity Britain has hitherto lain under of supplying itself therewith on disadvantageous terms from foreign nations.

Flax is likewise found to agree so well with our soil, that it is not to be doubted, but a very considerable progress may soon be made in this commodity, of which great quantities are imported from other nations into Britain, and your lordships are so sensible of the constant demand there is for it, that if large supplies can be furnished by his majesty's colonies, no manufacture may better deserve an encouragement, or contribute more to discharge the debt incurred by the importation of British goods.

There have been likewise some small essays towards making pot ashes, and from what I have both heard and seen, there is reason to conclude that a design of this kind may, with industry, if encouraged, be considerably advanced.

What may be proper to be proposed as encouragements, on all or any of those commodities I have mentioned, must be left entirely to your lordships, whose great knowledge of the general trading interest of Briand those nations from whence such merchandizes are tain, and of the balance of trade between that kingdom brought, enables your lordships to judge in this particuof Great Britain and the good of its colonies. lar more clearly what may best conduce to the benefit

I beg leave to acquaint your lordships, that the circumstances of this province are so little varied from what they were in the year 1731, when I returned an in that answer appears at this time unnecessary. I am answer to the queries then sent me, that any alteration with esteem,

INDIAN TREATY.

We Widaagh, alias Orytyagh and Auddggy-junkquagh Kings or Sachemas of the Susquehannah Indians, and of the river under that name, and lands on both sides thereof, doe declare, that for and inconsideration of a parcel of English goods unto us given by our friend and brother William Penn, proprietary and governor of Pennsylvania, and also in consideration of the former much greater costs and charges the said William Penn hath been at in treating about and purchasing the same, William Penn, all the said river Susquehannah and all we doe hereby give, grant and confirm unto the said the islands therein, and all the lands situate, lying and being upon both sides of the said river, and next adjoining to the same, extending to the utmost confines of the lands which are or formerly were the right of the people or nation called the Susquehannah Indians, or by all lakes, rivers, rivulets, fountains, streams, trees, woods what name soever they were called or known, and also ries, hawkings, huntings, fishings, fowlings and other underwoods, mines royal and other mines, mineral quar royalties, privileges and powers whatsoever to them or any of them belonging, or by them enjoyed, as fully and amply in all respects as we or any of our ancestors have, also all the right, title, interest, possession, claim and could, might or ought to have had, held or enjoyed: and demand which we or any of us, or the said nation, or any in right of the same have or hereafter can or may claim to have in the same. And we do hereby ratify and confirm unto the said William Penn the bargain and sale of the said lands made unto Col. Thomas Dongan now Earl of Limerick and formerly governor of New York, whose deed of sale to the said Gov. Penn we have seen. To have and to hold the said river, land and premises their rights, members and appurtenances, unto the said hereby granted and confirmed, with their and every of William Penn, his heirs and assigns forever.

The mulberry tree is likewise so natural to our soil, growing wild in the rich lands, and the silk worm thrives so well, that there is a distant prospect of some advances towards a silk manufacture, which as it affords employment for the weakest hands, would be of the utmost advantage. Some amongst us have shown how practicable a design of this kind is by making some small quantities, not inferior, as I am informed, in goodness and fineness to the best from France or Italy, but persons are wanting to lead us into the way of winding it from the balls, which I understand to be the most difficult part of the work: but as in time this difficulty may be Sealed and delivered in the presence of surmounted, I cannot but recommend likewise a manufacture of this kind, as deserving the greatest encouragement, since by the promoting it a valuable addition may be made to the trade of Great Britain.

EARLY HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA.

INDIAN SPEECHES.

[A Treaty with the Indians of the six nations was held at Lancaster, at which were present Governor Thomas, of Pennsylvania, and Commissioners from Virginia and Maryland. The Indians conceived that Virginia and Maryland had encroached upon their lands, particularly upon the Potowmack, (by them called Cohongoroutas) which formerly belonged to the Susquehannah Indians, but were now claimed by the Six Nations by right of conquest. One of the Maryland commissioners, in explaining to the Indians the right that province had to those lands, said, "Our great king of England and his subjects have always possessed the province of Maryland, free and undisturbed from any claim of the six nations for above 100 years past, and your not saying any thing to us before, convinces us that you thought you had no pretence to any lands in Maryland; nor can we yet find out to what lands, or under what title you make your claim."-To which Canassatego, an Onondago chief, replied as follows.]

"Brother, the Governor of Maryland,

them to understand that they were mistaken, that we
lived before they came amongst us, and as well or bet-
ter, if we may believe what our forefathers told us. We
had then room enough and plenty of deer, which was
easily caught, and though we had not knives, hatchets,
or guns, such as we have now, yet we had knives of
stone, and hatchets of stone, and bows and arrows, and
these served our uses as well then as the English ones do
now. We are now straitned and sometimes in want of
deer, and lyable to many other inconveniences since the
English came among us, and particularly from that pen
and ink work that is going on at the table [pointing to
the Secretarys] and we will give you an instance of this.
Our Brother Onas, a great while ago came to Albany to
buy the Sasquahannah lands of us, but our brother, the
Governor of New Yorke, who, as we suppose, had not a
good understanding with our brother Onas, advised us
not to sell him any lands, for he would make an ill use
of it, and pretending to be our good friend, he advised
us, in order to prevent Onas's or any other person's im-
posing upon us, and that we might always have our land
when we should want it, to put it into his hands and
told us he would keep it for our use, and never open his
hands but keep them close shut and not part with any
of it, but at our request. Accordingly we trusted him
and put our land into his hands, and charged him to
keep safe for our use, but some time after he went
away to England, and carryed our land with him, and
there sold it to our brother Onas for a large sum of
money, and when at the instance of our brother Onas,
we were minded to sell him some lands, he told us that
he had sold the Sasquehannah lands already to the Gov-
ernor of New Yorke, and that he had bought them from
him in England; though when he came to understand
how the Governor of New Yorke had deceived us, he
very generously paid us for our lands over again.

mentioned the affair of the land yesterday, When you you went back to old times, and told us you had been in possession of the province of Maryland above one hundred years: but what is one hundred years in comparison to the length of time since our claim began Since we came out of the ground? For we must tell you that long before one hundred years, our ancestors came out of this very ground, and their children have remained here ever since, you came out of the ground in a country that lies beyond the seas; there you may have a your elder just claim, but here you must allow us to be brethren, and the lands to belong to us long before you knew any thing of them. It is true that above one hundred years ago the Dutch came here in a ship and brought with them several goods, such as awls, knives, hatchets, guns, and many other particulars which they gave us, and when they had taught us how to use these things, and we saw what sort of people they were, we were so well pleased with them, that we tyed their ship to the bushes on the shoar, and afterwards liking them still better the longer they stayed with us, and thinking the bushes too slender, we removed the rope and tyed it to the trees, and as the trees were lyable to be blown down by high winds, or to decay of themselves, we, from the affections we bore them, again removed the rope and tyed it to a strong and big rock, [here the interpreter said, they mean the Oneida country] and not content with this, for its further security we removed the rope to the big mountains, [here the interpreter says they mean the Onondago country] and there we tyed it very fast, and sowed Wampum about it, and to make it still more secure, we stood upon the wampum, and sat down upon it, to defend it, and to prevent any hurt coming to it, and did our best endeavours that it might remain uninjured forever. During all this time, the new comers, the Dutch, acknowledged our right to the lands and solicited us from time to time to grant them parts of our country, and to enter into league and covenant with us, and to become one people with us.

Though we mention this instance of an imposition put upon us by the governor of New Yorke, yet we must do the English the justice to say, we have had their hearty assistances in our wars with the French, who were no sooner arrived among us than they began to render us uneasy and to provoke us to war, and we have had seve ral wars with them, during all which we constantly received assistance from the English, and by their means we have alwise been able to keep up our heads against their attacks.

We now come nearer home. We have had your deeds interpreted to us, and we acknowledge them to be good and valid, and that the Conestogoe or Sasquehannah Indians had a right to sell those lands unto you, for they were then theirs, but since that time we have conquered them, and their country now belongs to us, and the lands we demanded satisfaction for, are no part of the lands comprized in those deeds; they are the Cohongoroutas lands. Those we are sure you have not

And we made our demand so soon as we knew your About two years after the arrival of the English, an English Governor came to Albany, and finding what people were settled in those parts. These have never great friendship subsisted between us and the Dutch, been sold, but remain still to be disposed of, and we are well pleased to hear you are provided with goods, and he approved it mightily and desired to make as strong a league, and to be upon as good terms with us as the do assure you of our willingness to treat with you for Dutch were, with whom he was united, and to become those unpurchased lands. In confirmation whereof, we Which was received with the usual ceremony, one people with us, and by his further care in looking present you with this belt of wampum. what had passed between us, he found that the rope Ib. June 26, 1744. which tyed the ship to the great mountain was only fastened with wampum which was liable to break and rot, and to perish in a course of years. He therefore told us, that he would give us a silver chain, which would be much stronger and last forever, This we accepted and fastened the ship with it, and it has lasted ever since.

Gachadow, speaker for the Indians, in answer to the Commissioner's speech at the last meeting, with a strong voice and proper action, spake as follows:

Brother Assaraquoa, [the gov. of Virginia.]

The world at the first was made on the other side of the great water different from what it is on this side, as may be known from the different colours of our skin and of our flesh, and that which you call justice may not be so amongst us: you have your laws and customs and so have we. The great king might send you over to conquer the Indians, but it looks to us that God did not approve of it; if he had, he would not have placed the sea where it is, as the limits between us and you.

We then desired a letter might be sent to the Catawbas and Cherokees to desire them to come and confirm the peace. It was long before an answer came: but we met the Cherokees and confirmed the peace, and sent some of our people to take care of them, until they returned to their own country.

The Catawbas refused to come, and sent us word that we were but women; that they were men, and would be always at war with us. They are a deceitful people: our brother Assaraquoa is deceived by them, we don't blame him for it; but we are sorry he is so deceived.Ib. June 30, 1744.

ANNALS OF PHILADELPHIA. 1759-May 28.-The Recorder informed the Board, that Mr. John Relfe and Lieutenant Clarke were some years ago indicted in the Mayor's Court and convicted of having given and accepted a challenge, for which offence they were fined the sum of £20 each. That John Relfe having paid his fine, had complained that no steps had been yet taken to compel Lieutenant Clarke to do the like. Wherefore the Recorder recommended it to the Board to consider, whether the said Clarke's fine should be exacted, or both fines remitted.

Year's rent of Dock Landing, £40-Rent for the Blue Anchor Landing from 23d October to 23d July, 1758, £26.

June 2.-The Board on considering the matter proposed by the Recorder at the last meeting respecting Lieutenant Clarke's fine, Resolved to suffer the matter to remain in its present state for some time; and do think that whenever Lieutenant Clarke shall come to this town the proper step be taken to recover his fine.

The Board having taken into consideration a proposal formerly made for the increasing the number of stalls in the markets, and being of opinion that the same would greatly tend to the accomodation of the country people and butchers, as well as be of general utility to the inhabitants of this city, They do appoint Alderman Stamper, Henry Harrison, Wm. Bingham, and Wm. Rush, a committee to provide materials and to agree with workmen to erect a number of stalls at the west end of those already erected to the westward of the Court House, to extend as far as Third street: and the committee are requested to get the same completed as soon as possible. For their trouble in which, this Board will make them a reasonable allowance.

September 11.-The Mayor informed the Board, That the collector of the provincial tax had demanded of him the tax laid on the estate of the corporation rated £476, which appearing to be a sum higher than the income of this Board the mayor and Alderman Shoemaker the Treasurer are desired to attend the commissioners and assessors, and lay an account of such income before them and endeavour to procure an abatement.

That the Wardens of the city were attending, to make some proposals to them-it is ordered that they be desired to walk in; and they now attending, do propose, that as this Board are erecting new stalls to the westward of the Court House, and a place is much wanted for storing oil for the use of the city lamps, it would be very convenient for them, if the Board would order a vault to be built under the meal market for that purpose.

12th Sept.-The Board resuming the consideration of the proposal made yesterday by the city wardens—and

some of the inhabitants living near the place where the vault is proposed to be built attending, and representing to the Board that the same would become a nuisance, by the smell of the oil; the Board after some debate proceeded to vote whether a vault should be built under the meal market or not-which was carried in the affirmative. But whether the said vault shall be made use of by the wardens for the purpose they desire, or let out by this Board for some other public use, is referred to the consideration of the Board at some future time.

It being afterward put to the vote whether the said vault should be built under the whole meal marketcarried in the negative.

It being then put to the vote whether the said vault should be built under one-half of the meal market-carried in the negative.

October 2d.-John Stamper, Esq. elected Mayor. Thomas Willing and Daniel Benezet, chosen Aldermen.

November 27.--The Mayor delivered to the Board a letter from Richard Peters, Esq. Secretary of the Province in the following words, viz- "Sir, I have it in command from the proprietaries before I close with Mr. Brown for a lease of the island opposite to the city, to acquaint the corporation with it. It is surmised that the carrying out wharfs there, as well as other things which may be done by the lessee may be injurious to the navigation of the river, especially if the island continues to grow as it has done of late. You will be pleased to communicate this to the Common Council, who I understand is to meet to-day, and desire it may be taken into immediate consideration, that proper clauses may be inserted in the lease now applied for to prevent any injury being done to the navigation of the river, or to the port."

The Board on consideration unanimously Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to get proper clauses inserted in any lease he may make of the island opposite to this city to prevent the erecting any wharfs on the western side of it, or doing any act that may tend to injure the navigation or obstruct or change the course of the channel of the river.

January 3, 1760.--The public wharf and ground near the Drawbridge leased at the rate of £60 per annum.

May 27.-On the petition of Samuel Austin setting forth that he bad erected a commodious building near Arch street wharf for the reception and entertainment of market people and others, coming from the Jersey shore to this city, and was about making a slip for the more convenient landing of passengers and their horses; and praying this Board to grant him their license to keep a public ferry at the place aforesaid, for the transporting passengers from this city for New Jersey, under such terms and yearly rents as should seem reasonable to this. Board-It is considered by the Board, that the number of people crossing Delaware river to and from this city having of late much increased, the erecting another ferry may tend to the ease and convenience of such people. They do, therefore, grant the prayer of the petitioner. He paying a yearly rent of thirty pounds to this corporation, and performing such covenants as shall be thought reasonable and proper to be inserted in his lease.

16th September.-Rent of the vendue stall under the Court House for 3 years, ending July, 1758, £25 per annum-Rent of Schuylkill ferry £175 per annumfrom 1758 to 1760, £200-Rent of Francis Rawle's ferry to Jersey, for 3 years ending March, 1759, at £30 per annum. "Note that before building of the new stalls, there were 31 stalls westward of the Court House, besides one taken up by a fire engine, which were usually let at £3 per annum each. Rent of the potter's field, ending November 1759, at £10. Rent of "new wharf built at the charge of the corporation near the Drawbridge," £30.

October 7.-The Recorder proposed that as the profits of the office of the Mayor of this city has of late fallen short of the expenses attending the office, and as it is not reasonable the person who executes so troublesome

May 27.-It being considered by the Board, That the the salary heretofore allowed to the Recorder of the city was too small, and by no means adequate to the servfces or dignity of that station. It was therefore unanimously resolved, That the Recorder's salary should be raised from £25 to £75 per annum.

From Silliman's Journal for April, 1828.-p. 29.

West Chester, Penn. January 7; 1828.

SIR: About five years ago I sent you a statement of pluviometrical observations made at this place, which is inserted in the 6th volume of the Journal of Science. My original design was, to note the quantity of rain and snow which should fall annually. for a series of years, sufficiently extended to afford data for a tolerable estimate of the character of our climate, so far as those phenomena are concerned. I proposed to myself a period of ten years, as probably sufficient for that object: and as the term is now completed, I offer the result for insertion in the Journal-if you should deem it worthy a place. My former communication contained the observations of the the first half of the term proposed, the present one gives those of the last five years, with an additional column showing the average results for the whole period: Synopsis of Pluviometrical Observations.

From the foregoing it will be seen that 54 steamboats February, have arrived at and departed from Pittsburg within the March, last 8 months, and making in that time in all 568 arrivals | April, and departures. In the number of the steamboats leaving our city, we include 12 new boats built in our city or its neighhourhood-some of them of the largest class, and not yielding in point of model, swiftness, and comfort, to any boats in the world.-Pittsburg Gaz.

It thus appears that the average quantity of water which fell annually for the last ten years, was 46.92, or nearly forty-seven inches. The greatest quantity in any one year was 54.1 inches, (viz. in 1824) and the least 39.3 inches, (in 1822)-making a difference of almost 15 inches; the one being a year of unusual wet, the other of distressing drought.

The most rain which has fallen in one day for the last 10 years, was 4 inches.

I find nevertheless that my statement agrees remarkably with one presented by Mr. Jefferson, in his Notes on Virginia, which shows an average of 47.038 inches, in a series of five years, just half a century prior to my observations, viz. from 1772 to 1777. As statewith fidelity and accuracy, I thought it due to the occaments of this description are of no value, unless made sion, to make these few additional remarks.

8.6 water.

The water which fell in the form of snow is included in the table of rain. The quantity of snow for the last 10 years was 194 inches, or about 16 feet; averaging nearly 20 inches a year. The deepest snow in that time was 18 inches; which fell on the 7th of January 1821. The usual depths have been from 2 to 4 or 5 inches. It is quite certain, I think, that the quantity of snow, in this region, is much diminished within half a century; and indeed within the last thirty years. The same remarks may be made, respecting its duration after it has fallen: both which circumstances are probably owing in a great measure to the clearing of the forests, and the extended

cultivation of the country.

The number of days of falling weather (including rain and snow) is exhibited in the following table.

P. S. To the above from Silliman's Journal for July, 1828, page 379. Since the foregoing was written I have seen in the 'Register of Pennsylvania,' a statement of the rain as it fell at and near Philadelphia, for a number of years past; by which it appears, that the quantity was much less than I have made it: so much less, indeed, that it would warrant a suspicion that there must be some inaccuracy in one, or both of the accounts. The statement in the Register,' makes the average of the last five years only 36. 30 inches: whereas my account gives an average of 47.46 inches. It is hardly probable there could be that much difference in the quantity, in two places so near each other, (not exceeding 25 miles) and yet I am unable to account for the discrepancy.My rain guage was a tin vessel, accurately made, six inches deep and six inches square; being an exact cube, open at top: and as the guages commonly used are in verted cones, I should suppose mine would have exhibited a rather less quantity than those, on account of its allowing more evaporation, especially during light rains in warm weather. I cannot well perceive how such a guage as mine could catch more rain than actually fell.
