Nov. 4. When the Duke and Duchess ofCum
berland arrived, on.the sth tilt, at Strafburgh,
Marshal de Contades being indisposed, the Baron
de Wurmfer, Infpeflor General of the foreign
troops, was charged to do all the honours, and or
der all amusements which they were willing to ac
cept. The next day his Royal Highness was on
the parade, and in the evening with his Duchess
at the comedy, ordered on purpose to entertain
them; after which they supped with the Baron,
who had invited the principal persons in the place
to be present. On the 7th the Duke waited on
Marshal Contades, and informed him how much he
interested himfelf in the restoration of his health ;
and in the evening they were again at the comedy,
and afterwards excepted of the invitation of the
Sieur Blair to sup with him. The Bth Baron
Wurmfer drew up all the foreign troops of the
garrison to perform their manoeuvres before their
Highnefles, after which the Baron again enter
tained them with a magnificent supper. The 9th
all the troops were drawn up, and lined the
streets from their lodgings to the gate, from
whence they went out, at ten in the morning,
and rested in the evening at the castle of Olwil
lar, where Count de Waldner had the honour to
receive them; and next morning they set out for
Baffe, to continue their rout. When they left
Strafburgh they were saluted by all the cannon on
the ramparts, and detachments of the Corsican
legion accompanied them as far as Kerich.
By letters lately received from Bengal, we are
informed that the Seapoys, with some regular

Marattos in that province, and an experienced of

Extract of a letter from PeterJburgh, 03. 20.
“ Advices are just received here from the Cri
mea of a very signal victory gained by the Ruffian
troops there, over the combined armies of the
rebellious Ruffians, Cossacks, &c. and the Turks
and Tartars, under the command of Dueles Gue
ny, the successor of Crim Guerey. Chan Dueles
was appointed Grand Commander of all the forces
belonging to the sublime Porte for there-subduing
Crim Tartary to the dominion of the Grand
Seignior, and failed from Constantinople with eigh
teen fllips of the third division, and a great num
ber of gallics and smaller vessels, and about fif
teen thousand men on board, a train of Artillery,
and great quantities of ammunition and stores.
Having received intelligence that the rebel army
in the Crimea hadretired from thence to Ockzakow
at the mouth of the Borifthenes, in Budziac Tar
tary, the Chan landed all his men at that place,
and by a proclamation of great indulgencies and
protection from the sublime Porte soon gained the
rebels to his assistance ; thus considerably rein
forced, he attacked and took almost all the strong
places which the Ruffians had possessed themselves
of, driving them out of the capital city of Bachi
ferai to the fort of Jernicale, on the Isthmus of
Perekop, where they maintained themselves against
the united forces till the beginning of the present
month, when a reinforcement of 3000 horse and
7000 foot arriving, the Ruffians attacked the Chan
in their turn, and drove him towards Bachiferai,
before which place both armies came to a general
battle, in which the Turks, &c. received a total
defeat, having 8000 men killed and wounded,
5000 taken prisoners, with all the cannon, am
munition, tents, &c. The remains of the de
feated army fled with the utmost precipitation to
wards Ockzakow, and the victorious Ruffians en
tered Bachilerai in triumph, which place they are
now fortifying in the strongest manner."
Nov. g. Upon a moderate computation, sixty
thousand men are (laughtered every campaign
while the war continues between the Turks and
Ruffians It is no great proof of the humanity of
the ebriftian powers, not to exert themselves to
prevent any farther bloodshed.
Nov. 6. The Dutch are at this time building
four capital ships of the line at one of their ports,
for the service of France.

NEW-YORK, Dec. 30.
A writer in the Boston Gazette observes, that
the people, though unanimously determined that
the East-India Company's Tea Ihould not be fold
nor landed, nor remain in harbour long enough
to be liable (according to an aft of the British Par
liament) to the payment of the duty irnpofed by
that Parliament, for the purpose of railing a reve
nue in America. Yet though the people were
thus determined, they took every possible measure
in their power, to get rid of the Tea with as little
danger as possible to the property of the owners,
and others concerned, and therefore took all the
necessary, and most effectual measures for fending
it back; but through the practices of the Governor,
the Collector, and the owner of the (hip to baffle
their designs, and detain the Tea till it should be li
able to the payment of the duty, the people, de
prived of any other way to get rid of it, wereobli
to destroy it, in their own defence ; so that all the
damage the owners, &c. sustain by its deftruAion,
is wholly chargeable upon the Governor, Collec
tor, owner, &c.
Last night a little before if o'clock a terrible
fire was discovered burning out of the Governor's
house in Fort George: Before the town or even
the family were alarmed, the flames had risen to
fogreat a height, that it was impossible to save the
house; and with difficulty the lives of the distressed
inhabitants were preserved. They were it seems all
in bed, and the Governor himfelf, with his lady
and daughter, had time to put on very few oftheir
clothes, before they were obliged to quit the
house ; so that it is not probable that the papers,
books, plate, furniture, or any of the valuable
goods, &c. it contained, were laved: But provi
dentially no lives were loft The confufi
on teccafioned by this melancholy event, and the
fliortnefs of the time since, hinders us from the
knowledge of the cause of it, and many of the
circumstances that attended it. Every counte
nance strongly expressed the deepest concern for
the distress of the persons principally affected by
this accident.

PHILADELPHIA, fc n : 3 .
The ground, which was covered by the people,
on Monday last, in the State-House square, being
measured, it was calculated, by twfydifferent per
sons, unknown to each other, that there were near
8000 people collected there; and many hundreds,
who were on the way, were disappointed reaching
the place of meeting, before the business was over,
owing to the short notice that was given.
On Tuesday last, at three quarters ofan hour after
two o'clock, Capt./fyre/,ofthe TEA SHIP Polly,
with Mr. Barclay, late one of the Consignees, left
Arch-ftrect wharf, on board a pilot boat, (having
been 46 hours in town,) to follow the (hip to
Reedy-liland, and from thence transport the East-
India Company's adventure to its OLD ROTTING
Place, in Leaden-Hall street, London. They
were attended to the wharf by a concourse of peo
ple, who willed them a good voyage.
When the account of the inhabitants of Boston
having destroyed the tea, belonging to the East-
India Company, reached this city, the bells of
thrift-Church were rang, and every class of peo
ple teftified the most sincere joy upon the occasi
on.
We hear that in a few days will be publifhed'
" An examination of what is called the Susque
hannah Case;" in which, the claim of the co
lony of Connecticut to lands within the limits of the
Pennflvania charter, will be shewn to be ground
less and vexatious, and the intrusions of their
people unwarrantable. In this work, the Con
necticut Charter will be examined, as well as the
State of the Case drawn up, on behalf of that co
lony, for the opinion of council in England.
At the court of Oyer and Terminer held at
Eafton, before the Honourable John Lawrence,
and Thomas Willing, Efqrs. for the county of
Northampton, the 17th inst. Alexander Bucha
nan was convicted of burglary, and received sen
tence of death: And the next day Thomas Wil
son was convi&ed of murder, for (hooting Willi
am Hewit through the body with a bullet and
three swan fbot, the 29th of Oflober, 1768. Af
ter he had committed this horrid murder, he rob
bed the deceased of his hat and _,l. 17s. 6d. in
money, which Wilson saw him receive the night
before; he then made his escape, and remained
undifeovered until about three months ago, hav
ing committed a felony in Sussex county, New-
Jerley; he was discovered while at the bar there,
by a person who had seen him at Hewit's a few
days before the murder, and who had heard that
Wilson was the person fafpefted. On his trial
this murder was clearly proved upon him, and he
received sentence of death.
Captain Barry, from New Orleans, on the Bth
ult. in lat. 27 : 13, long. 93 : 56, spoke a brig,
from Hispaniola for the Miffifippi, out 45 days,
but could not learn whr (he was; and on the 15th,
in lat. 24, long 80 : 30, spoke a flcop, Capt.
Wilson, from the Miffifippi, out 17 days, all well.
The brig Nancy and Molly, Captain Bethell, of
this port, was arrived at New Orleans, after a
pafflge of g;days. Capt. Lee, in a sloop, was to
fail in a few days for New-York.
Sunday fe'nnight arrived here Capt. Devonshire
from Hispaniola, whoinforms, that on the 2 4th ult.
the schooner Hetty, Capt. Scott, from Hispaniola
for this port, was laying at anchor off Heneauga,
where she ran ashore the 17th, but got off again so
much damaged, that Capt. Scott said, he thought
it best to go for Providence.—On the 12th inst.
in lat. 33, 29, long. 74, 40, Capt. Devonshire
fell in with the brig Peggy, Capt. Conyngham of
this port, bound from Virginia to Lisbon, out 3
days, who had, two days before, sprung a leak
under her counter, by which she made so much
water, that they were obliged to throw 200 bar
rels of flour, &c. over-board, damaged her wheat,
and choaked her pumps, so that Capt. Conyng
ham thought it best to make for Charleftown,
South-Carolina, which Capt Devonshire imagines
he might reach by the 16th, as he had favourable
winds and weather.—On the 17th, about 20
leagues E. by S. from Cape Henlopen, he spoke
the brig Polly, Giles Stanton, master, bound from
Lisbon to Rhode-Ifland, out io weeks, who had
carried away the head of his main-mast ; and,
being short of provisions, Capt. Devonshire (pared
him a barrel of bread.
Capt. Ayres from London, in lat. 23, long. 22,
spoke Capt. Smith in the Daniel, from Boston for
Falkland islands, he also spoke the Tyloe, Capt.
( ive, the sth inst. from Baltimore to Jamaica.

Tothe INHABITANTS of
N E W-Y O R K.
Friends and Countrymen,
YOU have heard of the proceedings of the ci
ties of Boston, Cirarles-Town, and Philadel
phia, with regard to the East-India Company's Tea.
They have shewn themselves worthy of Liberty in
destroying or fending back that baneful article in
its Parliament livery. But should you fuffer the
Tea to be landed in New York, you will defeat the
ends of their spirited and unanimous opposition.
You will be looked upon by the present and future
generations as the gate through which slavery forced'
its way into America. But we hope better things
of you. Be not alarmed with the threats of crea
tures inured to blood, and enriched with the spoils
of their fellow-lubjeas. Be firm—Be as one man—
And villainy shall tremble to its centre in every
part of America.
