Extract of a letter, dated New-York, June 22.

"Dr. Nesbitt is arrived, and proceeding on to Carlisle. I rejoice in the increase of seminaries of learning, especially to the westward. Congress having made an ordinance for settling the lands to the northward of the Ohio, you would be surprised to be informed of the number of Settlers in that country. I hope to see the day when there will be more freemen, citizens of the United States, than King George commands. There are now inhabitants of that country near the lakes, who make fifty pipes of wine, who are in our limits, and wish to be under the protection of Congress. Of all people, I pity the New England States most. Their commerce is good for nothing on the present plan. Independence at present is no blessing to them in the way of trade; for from the regulations of Great-Britain they can have little or none of the carrying business.--I hope Congress will be authorized to adopt such a system of contraction, as will bring the people of Great-Britain to their senses."
