Ho the Friend of bis Country and Mankind,
Doctor BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
On bis arrival from England, May 6tb, 1775°
' \ty ELCOME! once more,
To these fair western plains---thy native shore;
"Here live bclov'd, and leave the tools at home,
To run their length, and finiih out their doom:
Here lend thine aid, to quench their brutal fires ;
Or fan the flame which Liberty inspires,
Or fix the grand ConduAor, that shall guide
The tempest back, and 'karify their pride,
Rewarding Heav'n will blels thy cares at lass,
And future glories, glorify the pass.
Why staid apostate Wedderburn behind,
The scum—the scorn---the scoundrel of mankind?
Whose heart at large to ev'ry vice is known,
And ev'ry devil claims him for his own ;
Why came he not to take the large amount,
Of all we owe him, due on thine account?
Philadelphia, May 8, 1775.

HAMBUR GH, March 12.
OINCE ,ederdaj,an universal report is current here,
° and which is confirmed by several public papers
of the empire, thfe a most outrageous infurre&ion
happened at Coitfantinople on the 13th ult. The
Greeks of that place became the firft facrifice to the
enraged people, and some thousands of them loft
their lives; the beautiful Grecian church has been
entirely torn down. The working people of that
edifice were barbarously murdered and cut to pieces,
after which the mob insulted the Danish hotel, at
which Col. Peterson, the Ruffian Charge d'Affaires
refilled, killed his guards, and he himlelfhad a ve
ry narrow escape, being obliged to retire on board
a man of war. The mob next broke into the hotels
of thclmpmial Internuncio, and the Grand Bailiff
df Venice, both of whom with great difficulty saved
theii lives: The Janissaries, instead of anting a
gainst the mob, joined them ; they we're soon joined
by the chiefs of the law, who surrounded the Serag
lio, and sent a messenger to the grand Sultan, wi h
the important question, ' Whether he chose to be
dethroned, or immediately decla e the renewance of
the war with Ruflia ?' To answer which they gave
him three days, keeping the Seraglio blocked up in
the mean time. This important piece of intelli
gence (adds our correspondent) certainly requires
further confiimaton, although letters from Italy al
lo seem to give it cut for authentic ; and a let
ter from Venice mentions, that a courier ar
rived there, from their Bailiff at Constantinople
with the fame news. Also another letter from Leg
horn mentions, that in con sequence of that intel
ligence, Count Orlow with all the Ruffian Officers
there, immediately went on board the Ruffian men
of war, and failed for the Archipelago.
