RICHMOND, (Virginia) May 10.
On Monday last the honourable general assembly of
this commonwealth, met here pursuant to their ad
journment.
Philadelphia, May 20.
The last advices from Amsterdam, (dated March 18)
inform, that, although the preliminary articles of a
peace between (Sreat-Britain and that republic were
mot signed, yet the negociators had so far accomplish
ed the objeßsof their commission, as to admit little or
no doubt of that event shortly taking place. It was
laid, indeed, that nothing remained to be done, but
ghe ceremonial of that in terefting business.
The ship Hartford, captain Folger, left the Downs
the 3d of April, and brings accounts from London of
the rft, when no new administration had been fixed up
on by his Britannic majesty. The bill for opening an
intercourse with the United States had not passed either
house of parliament; nor can we give any fatisfaftory
information concerning the definitive treaty of peace.
Samuel Huntington, Oliver Ellsworth, Oliver Wol
cott, Benjamin Huntington, Jedidiah Strong, Stephen
M. Mitchel, and Richard Law, enquires; are chosen
to represent the Rate of Connecticut in the Congress of
the United States.
Thomas Johnson and James M'Henry, esquires,
rare appointed delegates to represent the slate of Mary,
land in Congress, in the room of Edward Giles, es
quire, deceased, and William Hemfley, esquire, re
signed.
The chevalier John Paul Jones came passenger in
the brig Prince Alberti, from Cape Francois. This
celebrated commander, we understand, was preparing
an elegant ship of war at Porto Bello; but the ac
counts of peace having arrived, closed, for the present,
his military career, in which he hath, in the most emi
nent degree, frequently distinguished himfelf, during
the war.
A small division of empty transports (confiding of 40
fail) arrived on Saturday and Sunday fe'ennight at
New-York, from Jamaica. They are supposed to be
the vessels which carried off the British garrison from
Charleflown.

Head of Elk, May 17, 1783.
Bast night, about 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in the
bake-house of colonel Henry Hollingfworth, which en
tirely consumed the fame, together with about sixty
barrels of bread, some flour, middlings, and ship fluff.
The calmness of the night, and the ready assistance of
the inhabitants, prevent d the fire from communicat
ing to the neighbouring buildings.—Tis conjedured
the fire was occasioned by a coal being drawn with
the last draught of bread in the evening, and so car
ried to the bread loft; or from a crevice in the oven
or chimney, as the fire was firft difeovered in the roof
and might have been easily extinguished with a water
engine, which proves how necessary it is to keep such,
even in villages. This is the second fire this unfortu
nate gentleman has had in his buildings, in the course
of a few months.
Resolved unanimously, that if any person or persons,
who shall in future, knowingly harbour, or cause any
person or persons, of the above mentioned denominati
ons to be harboured, shall be dealt with as such con
duct deserves.
