GENERAL
MONDA Y,
V O L. 111.
ly tee Duke ^'Cumberland Packet, Captain
Mitchell, arrived at New-York, in fix
cheeks from I almouth, cue have the following
Advices.
$ TIT r R N A, filly 20.
SE I D-Hadgi-Halil-Aga-Koulkayafi, whom
the Grand Seignor has sent hither, continues,
by his severity, to re-establish good order. The
Janissaries are returned to their duty. This offi
cer, after making exadt enquiries as to the authors
of the late tumult, has put them all to death.
He caused five or fix rebels to be hanged or ftranglcd
every day. He has forbidden all the inhabitants,
of whatever nation they are, to appear in publick
with any kind of arms, and the Turks dare not even
go out with hangers. What has chiefly made his
authority refpe&ed is, his lately ordering a Janis
sary to be Wrangled, who had committed some
disorders, though he offered him eleven purses to
save his life.
Constantinople, Aug. 17. The Ministers of the
Porte continue to hold frequent con ferrences
with one of the foreign Ministers, from whence
it is conjectured that a treaty which is known to
have been a long while on the carpet is the ob
je& of their deliberations ; by which treaty a cer
tain poweris to make a diversion in favour of the
Porte, and declare war against Russia; it is ad
ded, that the conclusion of this treaty has always
been deferred, because the contrasting parties can
not agree about the article of fubhdies^
Rome, Aug. 28. The Ex-General of the Je
suits was taken from his house, and carried in
Cardinal Corfini's equipage to the English College.
He is treated like a criminal ; and has already un
dergone several interrogatories. This treatment
has had such an effect upon him, that he has made
several attempts to destroy himfelf. The quanti
ty of papers and manuferipts burnt at the German
College, caused so thick a smoke, that the alarm
of fire was given. Some of the Jesuits have been
arrested on this occasion. Yet after all it seems
natural that they should destroy any thing, which
the malevolence of their enemies might mifeonftrue
to their disadvantage.
I he Father Scarponia is arrested on suspicion of
having written a libel “ De Simoniaca Ele&ione
hratris Ganganelli in fumrnum Pontificem."
Rome, Aug. 31. The Pope has appointed Ad
vocate Andreati, and another, to draw out a clear
account of the revenues of the Jesuits, who have
found that, besides their plate, they pofleffed an
annual revenue of 60,000 crowns on the Mount
of Piety, and upwards of a million of crowns in
ready money. Their effects at Tivoli, their vine
yards at Frefcati, and their farms, are under the
administration of the Prelates Georgi and Maggi.
Vienna, Sept. 2. The last augmentation made in
the Austrian army, not appearing fufficient to keep
up in Poland a body of 40,000 men, orders are
given for a new levy of 24,000. This is to be done
by completing the old battalions, in order to avoid
the expence of a new ftaff, and by these successive
augmentations the Austrian army will shortly be
composed of 280,000 fighting'men.
Milan, Sept. 3. The Jesuits of St. Jerome be
gan to iell corn, wine, and other commodities;
but the government has put a flop to their traffic.
The Count de Firmian yesterday sent for the Chiefs
of their Colleges, whom he advised to go to their
country-houses, and there quit the habit of the
society, and to return to town as secular priests ;
adding, that they knew the clemency of our au
gust lovereign;
Warfare, Sept. 4. We are assured that General
Bibikow, who was to have set out tojoin the army
under Count de Romanzow, hath received frefh
orders from his court to repair immediately to the
Crimea, where the affairs of Russia are in a very
dangerous situation.
Private letters from Hungary aflure us, that
the Ottoman Commissaries are not permitted to
purchase grain there.
Rome, Sept. 4. By an order of the Sacred Con
gregation, and with the approbation of his Holi
ness, Mr. Gabriel Comelli, Secretary-General of
the society of Jesuits, was conducted the night be
fore last from the English College, and placed with
one of his companions in an apartment separate
from that of the Abbe Ricci.
Genoa, Sept. 5. Ihe government has just ap
pointed a deputation to carry into execution the
Pope's Bull for suppressing the order of Jesuits.
Genoa, Sept. 6. The Captain of an English ship
which arrived yesterday in our road declares, that
he Was flopped and visited by four Salletine rovers,
just beyond the Streight of Gibraltar.
IVarfaw, Sept. 8. The assembly of the Dyet
remains fixed for the 15th of this month. The
treaties pafled by the Delegates with the three
powers will be there signed by the King, and con
firmed by the Dyet, which will then separate for
some time, in order to regulate the form of go
vernment.
Peterfourg, Sept. 10. On Wednesday last was
exhibited here, before the Empress and the whole
Court, a reprefentution of the taking of the for-
D UN L A P's
^^
tress of Giurgewo iThe siege was conduced in
the regular forms by the train of artillery, under
the direction ofthe Grand Master Prince Orlow,
afli fted by the Preobrazinflci regiment of guards.
After a cannonade and bombardment of neartwo
hours, during which time the regular approaches
were made, the outworks ofthe fortrefs silence I,
and a breach effe&qd by the battering cannon, the
soldiers were seen to mount to the assault, and the
place surrendered; In the course of the siege se
veral mines were fpruog, the magazine of powder
in the place took fire, and noincident was omitted
which could contribute to give the fpeßators a
perfect idea of the manner in which such an at
tack is carried on. Afterwards a magnificent fire
work was played off on a stage tyilt on the river
for that purpose ; which concluded the entertain
ment of the day, at the whole of which the Em
press was pleased to express great fatisfaaion.
Yesterday her Imperial Majesty attended by the
Court, went to hear solemn mass at the fortrefs
of Peterfbourg, and to offer up her prayers for the
fouls of those killed in battle, which is an annual
custom in time of war.
From the Danube, Sept. 14. According to our
last advices, the Grand Vizir's army is encamped
at Ichumla, Gen. Stoltikow at Likoreft, Gen.Gul
temkin near Obileft, Field Marshal Romanzow near
Gara, Palomnitza and Gen. Unger near Ismael.
The Bth and loth of last month, the Turks of
Siliftria appeared before Hirfowa, with 47 boats,
each containing 70 or 80 men, but undertook no
thing, partly on account of the bad weather. Some
time after, the Ruffian garrison of Hirfowa, which
was only 500 men strong, was reinforced with half
as many more; and several detachments of troops
are come up to that place to cover it, and guard it
from any furprize. From some dispositions which
the Ruffian army have made, it is thought they in
tend repaffing the Danube, and that Gen. Unger has
already pafled that river at Unger. These prepara
tions make it apprehended that the Ruffians intend
to make a fecchd attempt against Siliftria.
IParfanv, Sept. 14. According to our last let
ters received from the Ruffian army, which was
then encamped at the mouth ofthe river Janowitz,
Count Romanzow had detached a body of some
thousand men to the other fide of the Danube, in
order to watch the motions of the Grand Vizir.
We talk much of a peace between the Ruffians
and I urks ; the former seem to wish it in good
Carneft. And we are told that the court of Pe
terfburgh have addressed themselves to that of
London, to use their good offices to e4e& the ex
change of Prince Repnin, prisoner at Constan
tinople.
From the Fifula, Sept. 14. They write from
Dantzic, that the Court of Berlin demands from
the Magjftrates ofthat town an annual sum of
10,000 ducats, and the free pafl'age of all effeds
and merchandize belonging to the King and his
lubje&s; andthqt his Majesty will then take off
the duty established by him on the Fahr-Wafler,
but the Magistrates would not accept of this pro
posal.
I his has been the most plentiful season both for
fruit and corn, that has been known for many
years past.
IVarfd'w, Sept. 17. The ministers ofthe three
allied powers had an audience with his Majesty
this day, and presented him with the plan es the
new form of government. It is much doubted
whether this plan will be entirely agreed to, of
which the following are some of the articles:
" Ihe Crown is to be elective as before. The
Kings are to be of the Catholie Religion, and na
tives of the country.
“ After the death of the King, none of his fa
mily can be ele&ed without they are ofthe fourth
remove of consanguinity.
“ The kingdom is to be governed by a perma
nent Senate, of which th^ King is to be President,
but is only to have one vote. The King is not to
have it in his power to grant any favour without
the consent of the Senate, not even the order of
the White Eagle."
Warfa^v, Sept. Ifo Last Saturday the Delegates
signed the treaty of renunciation to the provinces
in favour of the King of Prussia. The city of
Dantzic is not included in it, the difeuffion of
that point being postponed to another opportunity.
It is reported that the plan some time since pro
posed, by which the government of the Republic
would be taken from the King, and entrusted toa
perpetual council, has already been approved by
the Delegation, and it is thought will have also the
approbation of the Diet. If this plan takes place,
the council will enjoy all the rights of the sove
reignty, and the King will be only a mere image
ofthe head of the Republic.
Vienna, Sept. 15. The Emperor, notwithstand
ing his great fatigue, enjoys a perfect state of
health. This Monarch has travelled on horse
back, on his late tour, above 700 German miles,
eating only once in the evening of each day, of
such food as he found at the place where he flop
ped, and slept on a straw bed, covered only with
his cloak.
TH E
ADVERTISER.
DECEMBER 6th, 1773.
His Imperial Majesty received 6000 petitions id
Tianfilvania, where there is a&ually one of our
armies, consisting of 80,000 men, ready to march
on the firft notice.
Vienna, Sept. i§. The Generals Felegrini and
Notitz, who accompanied the Emperor in his fa
tiguing journey, find their healths greatly impaired;
✓faflerdam, Sept. 15. We have just received
the following account from the Cape of Good
Hope. “ The 31st of May in the evening a vio"
lent storm blew from the north weft, attended with
thunder and lightning, which occasioned so high
a sea, that all the veflels that were in Table bay,
namely, the Young Thomas, Le Duyvenbonrg,
the I' Achat, and the Overhout, of which the
two former were ready to depart, fuffered great
damage. The Young Thomas, was driven the
next morning against a rock, and 'of the crew,
which consisted 06207 men , only 67 were saved;
among the drowned, were the Captain, the firft
pilot, and all the officers. Happily the company's
treasure, consisting of 17 chests of silver coin, was
not on board the above ship when the accident
happened. The three other veifels were saved,
but loft their anchors.
St. Urefonfo, Sept. 16. The Elector of May^
ence had filled all the chairs of theology and phy^
lofophy, throughout his dominions, with Jesuits,
with pensions of 500 florins each. In the Vene
tian Senate the Pope's Bull was debated upon; 20
were for it, and 10 against it.
Copenhagen, Sept. 17. We hear from Norway,
that a distemper prevails at Christiana, and in its
neighbourhood, which causes great havock, five
or fix persons dying in a day.,
Brujels, Sept. 17. On Tuesday last died at Ant^
Werp, Prince Maximilian de Salm Salm, Knight
of the Golden Fleece, and a Lieutenant General
in the Imperial service.
MarfeiHes, Sept. 18. Letters from Larache of
the I ith of August last advise, that it is very cer
tain that the peace which fubffted between the
States General of the united Provinces and the
Emperor of Morocco, will not be disturbed; and
that the little difficulties which seemed to have
arisen between these two powers, are entirely re
moved. They add, that the case is not similar
with the Court of Madrid, for the Emperor of
Morocco insists that Ceuta shall be evacuated,
and the Court of Spain has lignified to him that
die is not in the humour to comply with his inten
tions.
Hamburgh, Sept. 21. The King of Prussia hai
ordered a camp to be marked out near Potsdam,
in which the garrison of Potsdam, and part of that
of Berlin, and its neighbourhood, are to encamps
These troops, all together, will amount to 40,000
men, who are to perform divers new manceut res.
The greatest part of the general officers who ars
in distant provinces have been recalled, in order
to be present at it.
JVarfav, Sept. 22. The Court of Vienna ii
goingto build a new town on the Vistula, at 400
paces from Cafimir, near Cracovia.
Warfcra, Sept. 22. The Delegation has at last
signed the treaties with the three allied powers;
but with regard to the future form of government,
it is resolved, that that important affair shall b<
decided by the Dyet, and not by the Delegation;
Last Wednesday the Dyet Was occupied about the
said new form of government, but that bufnefs is
put off to next Tuesday; after which the treaties
concluded upon between the Delegation and the
three allied powers were produced and read. Some
of the Nunciates seemed disinclined to interfere in
them, pretending they were not futnifhed with in
ftru&ions on that head, and they were obliged to
prorogue the deliberations on that affair till this
day, at which fitting the King will sign these trea
ties; and some fay the Dyet will then be pro
rogued till theist of November, and others to the
15th of December; others even fay that it will be
prorogued till the month of March next. As the
Dyet is held Huis clos, it is very difficult to know
what is tranfading there, but it is said they have
resolved to keep an army of 30,000 men on foot.
Munich, Sept. 23. All the corn in the circle
of Bavaria is now carried in, and the harvest is
found to be most plentiful, notwithstanding that
the field mice have occasioned much damage in
high and dry foils: Several expedients have been
tried for their extirpation, but rone have proved
effectual. There is the fame abundance of grain
in Bohemia, Franconia, and Swabia, where all the
prices of rhe necessaries of life are very considera
bly fallen.A,
Hague, Sept. 27. According to our letters from
Brandebourg, the interview between the Empe
ror and the Kingof Prussia, which was to have
taken place about this time, is put of till the lat
ter end of O&ober.
The last letters from Paris advise, that one of
the Moufquetaires, and a person who was formeily
Secretary to Mr. de la Chetardie, add another
person in post, who is a Knight of St. Louis, were
sent to the Baftilea few days ago, for being con
cerned in some illicit coriefpoudence with some of
the northern powers.
