Turks, have left upwards of 20,000 men this
campaign; and that for want of men, as well as
provender, General Romanzow was obliged to re
pays the Danube, whilst the Turkish army abound
ed both ‘h men and ammunition of every fort.
The Turkish army confided of more than 150,000
men, whilst the Ruffian confided but of 55,000 at
mod; so that however intrepid their troops were,
they could not oppose a holt of three to one a
gainst them.
It is very poftively assured that both Ruffians
and Turks are very intent upon a peace, under
the mediation of neutral powers; and to facilitate
which, the Ruffians have abated the grand pre
liminary, that has been hitherto the grand obstacle
to it; from these dispositions there is no doubt of
a peace, and that immediately, between these two
belligerant empires.

at this time, how to take an active part in the trou

some of the parties, as the keeping their faith

Last Friday morning was distributed about town,
a printed advertisement, proposing, at 12 o'clock
the farae day, at the Coffee-houfe, a meeting of
the inhabitants, to consult, and agree upon a pro
per manner of fignifying their thanks to the Cap
tains of the London ships belonging to this port,
and the Merchants to whom they were addrefled,
for their patriotic cohdud, in refuting to take from
the East-India Company on freight, ^quantity of
tea, on which a duty, laid by the British Parlia
ment, was made payable in America, on importa
tion. Notwithstanding the fhortneis%f the notice,
most of the Merchants, and many other inhabi
tants met at the time and place appointed, when
the following address was drawn up, read, and
unanimously approved by the company present:
Gentlemen,
YOUR prudent conduct in refuting the freight
of the East-India Company's Tea, justly me
rits the approbation and applause of every well
wifher to the liberties of this or any other country.
The insidious purpose of levying the duty in
America, and taking off a much greater in England,
is equally manifeft and detestable; being nothing
# less than to est Llifh the odious precedent of raising
a revenue in America. But it is a happiness to the
inhabitants of this colony, and we trust to every
other on this extensive continent, that STAMP
OFFICERS, and TEA COMMISSI
ONERS, will ever be held in equal estimation.
The tribute therefore of our most grateful
thanks, is moftjuftly due, and is now hereby most
heartily rendered to the truly patriotic Merchants
and Masters of vessels in London, who, by their
virtuous example, contributed so eminently to dis
countenance a measure which ought to be opposed
by all good men, as contrary to every principle of
British liberty, and therefore cannot but incur the
just indignation and resentment of the much in
jured Americans.
Several writers in the Boston papers of the 14th
inst. express the fame sentiments ofthe tea expect
ed from London, as the people of New-York and
Philadelphia, whose conduct they highly approve,
and strongly urge their countrymen to imitate.
The Masters of all their London vessels too, they
expect, like those of New-York and Philadelphia,
will refufe to bring any tea to America while the
duty remains.
Wheat is greatly fallen in England, on account
of the large supplies from Maryland, and other
ports in America. The very fine profpe&s they
have of plentiful crops in Great-Britain, has also
contributed to reduce the price.
By letters from London, and from good autho
rity, we are assured that the East-India Company
have determined upon fending three vessels with
tea, one of them for Boston, another for Philadel
phia, and the third for this port, and it is most
confidently asserted, that no duty will be paid
upon those teas in America.

" Here are large quantities of flour which the

badness ofthe quality, which greatly hurts the sale
of that which is good; and fliould any more hard

dit : Therefore it is the duty of all the merchants
in your city, to look into and remedy so great an
evil."

TO BE SOLD or LE T,
At a very reasonable rate,
AL A RGE traft of land, situate in Augusta
county, in the colony of Virginia, about eight
or nine miles from Staunton (the county town)°on
which said trad is a fine never failing stream of
spring water, never difeommoded by frofts or frefh
es, having several fine falls within 30 or 4.0 feet of
each other, suitable for water works: Alio another
very fine stream, suitable for such purposes, emptying
itfelt into Middle river, about fifty yards below
the lower Falls, and within, half a mile of it is also
a large body of iron ore, reckoned by the best jud
ges to be extraordinary good, with much timber on
the fame land. The whole appears to be an excel
lent situation, as well on account of the good iron
ore, the nearness and plenty of timber, the falls of
the water as other natural advantages for carrying
on the most fuccefsful iron works compleatly, to the
greatest advantage, as a like plenty of timber and
iron ore on the neighbouring adjoining lands, to
be now had at the eafielt rates, will be a never fail
ing supply to such works in time to come. Edy ac
cess may be had to a sea port, as it liss on the tra
ding roads back from Holfton and Green Briar ri
vers, and is not quite 115 miles down to the next sea
port in Virginia ; the extreme cheapness of all kinds
of provifiqn in those parts, recompences well for
tile said uidance, and will render any gentleman's
undertaking of and ere&ing iron works' there very
easy and profitable to himfelf, as it also lies in the
dired way of the trade of iron, for the back parts,
where in the new back settlements it is most wanted.
The terms will be made easy, and all pofiible encou
ragement and abidance given to the undertaker,
who on receiving the premises willadmire the many
natural advantages of the situation, for fuccefsfully
carrying on iron works there, in the compleatett
manner to the best advantage. Further informati
on may be had of the owner John Poage, Deputy
Surveyor of Augusta county afofefaid, living on
the premises.
